After Wang Ping left, Xia Su couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Wang Gong is still very young. ”

Obedient to listen to the sound, of course Geng Zhiyuan understood what she meant by being young, and he could only laugh when he understood it.

After the craft room was divided into two, the designers divided it according to the principle of staircase as the boundary, one room on the east side, and two rooms on the west side. Geng Zhiyuan and Xia Su's office 719 is located at the westernmost end of the floor, so they are assigned to the second room.

719 Of the people, only Li Jijun followed Wan Defu to a room, and there was a desk in the office, which felt much more spacious than before.

Although the craft room is artificially divided into two rooms, for ordinary designers, the work is still the same, and even the project team is still composed of people who are used to working together in the two rooms, except for six more leaders, there is no difference from the past.

After the Provincial Institute of Chemical Industry lost its financial autonomy, it was unable to formulate and issue project bonuses as before, which seriously hurt the enthusiasm of designers to do projects. Now that the number of middle-level cadres has been greatly increased, the Ninghua Group can only continue to reduce the salaries and benefits of ordinary workers to make up for the excess shortfall when the Ninghua Group does not agree to increase the financial budget.

After Geng Zhiyuan got the April payroll, he was surprised to find that it was only more than 1,400 yuan, and this year his salary has risen to more than 3,200 yuan, which is more than half of it out of thin air.

"Why is the salary so much less?" Chen Xin complained beside him: "I just paid less than a thousand yuan!"

Bai Xuyang followed and shouted: "Me too, how can I live here?"

Xia Su threw the salary slip into the drawer and said calmly: "I heard from the financial people that from this month, the salary will be paid at 60%. ”

"Why?" "Why?" Chen Xin and Bai Xuyang said in unison.

Xia Su smiled indifferently and said, "Why? Because the Ninghua Group does not agree to increase the budget. The money in our institute is now all under the management of the Ninghua Group Design Institute, and the general institute does not increase the appropriation, and there are so many middle-level cadres, where does the money come from? ”

The financial budget is like a big cake, with more cut for middle-level cadres and less for ordinary workers. Unless the superior compensates for a small piece of cake, there is no solution to this problem.

"CTN, just give such a little money, what are you doing?" Bai Xuyang said angrily: "Geng Gong, I will follow you in the future, if you have a project, don't forget me." ”

Chen Xin said pitifully: "Geng Gong, don't forget me, if you don't follow you to do private work, I don't know what to do in the future." ”

Geng Zhiyuan saw that they were pitiful, and took the opportunity to comfort: "Don't worry, we will share our own bonuses in the next two days, and we will definitely satisfy you." ”

Xia Su saw that the young designers had submissive to Geng Zhiyuan, and secretly sighed and said: "The provincial courtyard is dying! People are dying for money, birds are dying for food, young people are going to buy houses and get married, and they are in need of money to come to such a show, isn't this helping Xiao Geng recruit troops and buy horses? Alas!"

Three days later, Geng Zhiyuan came to the courtyard with a schoolbag of money and called the professional designers of the Pengcheng Fertilizer Plant 1830 project to the office one by one to distribute the bonuses.

Chen Xin got 20,000 yuan, she smiled happily, and said continuously: "Thank you! Thank you!"

Geng Zhiyuan smiled: "This is half, and there is still half of it." ”

"Really, great!" Bai Xuyang also got 15,000 yuan, and he said excitedly: "It's better to follow Geng Gong to have hope!"

Geng Zhiyuan said with a smile: "The hospital doesn't give money, I will give it to everyone, as long as you follow me, you can ensure that everyone can live a worry-free life." ”

When she returned home in the evening, Su Qing quietly complained to her husband: "Your parents are unhappy today, I don't know what happened to provoke them, and I didn't make lunch." ”

"Didn't make lunch?" Geng Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Are you hungry?"

Su Qing said proudly: "How can such a smart person as me starve? I have already secretly hidden some biscuits, and I will not be hungry." ”

Geng Zhiyuan's heart hurts, his wife has given birth to a child and needs nutritional supplements, but at home she can only rely on biscuits to satisfy her hunger, if it reaches Liu Yan's ears, he thinks that the old Geng family has joined forces to abuse her daughter.

"I'll buy you something to eat. Geng Zhiyuan turned around to leave, but Su Qing hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, you better hurry up and coax your parents to go, I don't have to suffer this crime anymore when my mother comes." ”

What his wife said is not unreasonable, during the time that Geng Huaiguo and Gao Shuying were here, they didn't help much, but they added a lot of trouble under the pretentiousness. Knowing that this was the case, Geng Zhiyuan regretted bringing his parents here, if it was arranged according to his wife's original plan, she would never have suffered these current sins in vain.

"Okay, Doudou has a full moon, I'll tell them to let them go back. Geng Zhiyuan comforted his wife and turned around and walked out of the bedroom, but saw his parents occupying a sofa and watching TV intently, and he didn't even see a shadow at dinner.

Geng Zhiyuan frowned, so he had to speak: "Parents, Doudou is out of the full moon, we are going to let his grandmother take care of it, you can go home tomorrow and rest." ”

Gao Shuying pursed her lips when she heard this, and poked Geng Huaiguo with her foot: "Hey, you tell the boss." ”

Geng Huaiguo said helplessly: "Zhiyuan, your brother called this morning and said, let's go to Shanghai to meet our in-laws." We don't have any money on us, can you ......?"

Geng Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Dad, how much money do you need?"

Gao Shuying said excitedly on the side: "We don't want much, just give 100,000." ”

"100,000!?" Geng Zhiyuan suddenly felt funny, shook his head and said: "100,000 no, why do you want so much money when you go to see your in-laws?"

"Meet the gift!" Gao Shuying's eyebrows danced: "We are men, and when we meet Wang Xiaoling's parents, are we not allowed to give other girls a meeting gift?"

Geng Zhiyuan was dissatisfied: "Then why didn't you give any meeting gifts when you met Su Qing and her mother?"

"Can Su Qing compare with Wang Xiaoling? People are big Shanghai ......" Gao Shuying was shaking her head triumphantly, and Geng Huaiguo hurriedly kicked her: "What nonsense?"

Geng Zhiyuan couldn't help but be angry when his parents discriminated against his wife, and sneered: "Su Qing is the eldest daughter-in-law of our family, since you didn't give her a meeting gift at the beginning, our family doesn't have this kind of rule, and I can't lend you this money." ”

Geng Zhiyuan categorically refused, Geng Huaiguo and his family could only look at each other, the two of them knew that they couldn't control their eldest son, so they were angry and lay on the sofa with a gloomy face and stopped making a sound.

Geng Zhiyuan saw that his parents played a cold, violent and uncooperative attitude again, and said unceremoniously: "Tomorrow I will let the company's car send you back." ”

"If you don't give money, we won't leave!" Gao Shuying said.

Geng Zhiyuan saw his mother tearing her face, and snorted: "What a joke, isn't the 300,000 yuan that helped you pay it back?"

Geng Huaiguo was worried that the relationship would be stiff and it would not be good to snatch it from his eldest son in the future, so he hurriedly said: "Let's go, can't we go?"

The parents are still pathologically partial to their youngest son, and Geng Zhiyuan is helpless in addition to being cold.

When she went to bed late at night, Su Qing was worried: "You completely offended your parents today, be careful that they go back and say bad things about you." ”

"Go ahead. Geng Zhiyuan looked at the ceiling with empty eyes and said: "They are a bottomless pit, I have already smashed 400,000 yuan into it, what else do you want me?"

Su Qing gently grabbed his arm and persuaded: "They are your parents, they have a natural moral advantage, and our country pays attention to filial piety. ”

"Then what do you say, do you continue to give money?" Geng Zhiyuan said in a dejected manner.

Su Qing'er smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll persuade them." ”

Geng Zhiyuan understood that his wife's emotional intelligence and mind were much higher than his own, and sighed and said, "Okay then......"

The next day, I don't know what Su Qing told them, after Geng Huaiguo and his family got 20,000 yuan, they happily got on the train to Shanghai.

After Liu Yan moved to Splendid Garden, in addition to taking care of his daughter and Doudou, he also took care of the house, which made Geng Zhiyuan feel the warmth of the family after a long absence.

By the end of May, the weather was already very hot, and people had to put on cool summer clothes. Haibin County Fertilizer Plant Nitrate Project still owes more than 400,000 design fees to the Provincial Chemical Design Institute has not been given, the new director of the business department Yin Jianjian has made meritorious contributions, and did not say hello while looking for the door to urge the arrears, but was complained by the deputy director Zhang Chengjin, saying that there is a problem with the design drawings, which leads to serious excess of nitrate tail gas, causing huge economic losses to the factory.

Zhang Chengjin finally said: "Your institute is embarrassed to come to ask for design fees, it's good if you don't lose money, what more money do you want? Go back and talk to your dean, and hurry up to solve the problem." ”

Yin Jianshe rushed to ask for the account, but he didn't expect to get a disgraced face, and fled back to the provincial capital without even eating. As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Yin Jianshe found Zhang Huaqiang and reported to him with a stomach full of anger.

Zhang Huaqiang was not surprised, and comforted: "Lao Yin, it's not easy to ask for money now. If the factory doesn't want to give it, it will definitely pick our thorns. Don't worry, I'll let the designers go. ”

Yin Jianjian said angrily: "Let the people in the design of our hospital use dim sum, and the people in the factory point at my nose and scold, I am about to lose my old face." ”

"I must say! I must say!" After Zhang Huaqiang persuaded him away, he immediately called Geng Zhiyuan.

"Xiao Geng, Director Yin went to the Haibin County Fertilizer Factory to urge the design fee, and the factory refused to give it under the pretext that there was a problem with our design, and tomorrow you take the designer to the factory to see what is going on. Zhang Huaqiang commanded.

Geng Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, Dean Zhang, I'll contact the office to send a car immediately." ”
