And Li Xin's economic strength is not easy to ask directly, not to mention that the relationship between Li Xin and her daughter's current boyfriend and girlfriend is not clear, even if he becomes his son-in-law in the future, this question is very sensitive and cannot be asked directly.

Now I heard Li Xin personally say that his own villa was bought by himself, not only that, but he also bought a villa for his parents in his hometown.

From these two things, it is a good proof that Li Xin's economic strength is far from what she can imagine, and as for how much money Li Xin has, she doesn't care about this. What she cares about is the economy, and her daughter will not worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt in the future.

Xia Xiaona's father heard this and said: "It's better to be in the unit, you make your own investment, if you go out and do it yourself, it's basically the same as a self-employed person, so it's easy to get out of touch with society, and your vision and vision will be affected." ”

Li Xin said: "Uncle is right, I think the same way. ”

"You're alone in Jiangcheng, what do you do when you usually eat?" Xia Xiaona's mother asked.

"I either ate in the unit cafeteria or bought food in a restaurant outside. ”

"The food outside is not nutritious, you have to make your own food. ”

Li Xin smiled and said: "It's too difficult to get a person's meal, and besides, I don't know how to cook, so it's more convenient to buy and eat." ”

"I see you're thinner, eat more nutritious things. Also, you need to strengthen your exercise, otherwise you will get sick easily. ”

Before Li Xin could speak, Xia Xiaona said: "He is like this, since he came to our company to now, for so many years, I have never seen him fat." I heard him say that he likes to play football, he likes to swim, and he doesn't use oxygen tanks when he climbs snowy mountains. ”

The last time Li Xin came to the house for dinner, when Xia Xiaona's parents chatted with Li Xin, Xia Xiaona dared to interject and joke next to her. Today is different, from the time her parents started talking to Li Xin, Xia Xiaona sat on the sofa and listened like Li Xin, and she didn't dare to come out.

At this time, when she heard her mother ask Li Xin about her usual diet and other living habits, Xia Xiaona dared to interject.

After listening to her daughter's words, Xia Xiaona's mother said, "Is it? That's not bad." ”

Li Xin smiled: "Yes, I usually exercise regularly. I remember that after junior high school, I didn't go to the hospital except for a dental filling. ”

"Is there any chance that you will be transferred to another business unit in the future?" asked Xia Xiaona's father.

Li Xin said: "There is also this possibility. ”

"You said that the main content of your current work is to collect and organize information, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Although I don't know much about your group, I can roughly estimate that in a non-ferrous metal group like yours, the main business should be production and sales, isn't it?"

"Yes, uncle, you can see it very accurately. Most of our group's chairman, vice chairman, and other senior executives are leaders in production and sales. Li Xin said.

"The manager of the finance department must also be a senior executive of the group. Xia Xiaona's father said.

"Yes, yes, yes, so is the Minister of Finance. Li Xin said with a smile.

"Therefore, if you want to develop in the long term within the group, you must rely on these two businesses, otherwise it is easy to be marginalized. Xia Xiaona's father looked at Li Xin and said meaningfully.

Xia Xiaona's father said this very implicitly, and he was not sure if Li Xin could fully understand the profound meaning of his words.

In his opinion, the kind of information collection and analysis work that Li Xin is doing now is important if it is not important, but if it is important, it depends on who it is in the eyes of whom.

In the eyes of leaders who value information analysis and statistics, this work is a sweet spot, and those who do it will also be reused.

However, in the eyes of leaders who do not attach importance to information analysis and statistics, this work is a piece of chicken ribs and is dispensable. Then the person who does this work is marginalized as he says, just a small clerk in the office, and it is almost impossible to get long-term development.

The current situation of this young man in front of him is like this, if the chairman attaches importance to him, he will be promoted to the assistant to the chairman.

But in the eyes of another chairman who doesn't pay attention to this work, he can only be a small clerk in the office.

Li Xin's words just now prove that he can also see clearly like himself, and only the business personnel who produce and sell these two parts within the Southern Group have the possibility of going up. However, seeing that he has been in this seemingly non-existent position of assistant to the chairman for several years, it also proves that he is not very clear about his future career plan within the group.

As a student of computer software, he must have absolutely no knowledge of the production business within such a non-ferrous metals group, and it is almost impossible for him to develop in the production business in the future.

Then the rest of the business is only the sales business. But I clearly remember the last time he came to the house for dinner, there was a lot of resistance to sales business in the conversation. In addition, through these two conversations, I can also see that the young man in front of him is obviously bookish.

His way of dealing with people may be more suitable if he is a teacher in a university or middle school. However, in a company like the Southern Group, which focuses on production and sales, it is difficult for him to have good prospects for development in his temperament and way of doing things.

He was still young, and he didn't seem to find anything wrong with staying in the position that resembled a small clerk in front of him. But if you get older, and you still stumble in this position at a certain age, you will have a hard time in the future.

This kind of thing is a matter of vision to say that it is lighter, and it is not enterprising to say that it is more serious.

As an elder and a person who has come over, Xia Xiaona's father sees this kind of thing very clearly.

But Li Xin, as her daughter's prospective boyfriend, came to the house for the first time, and at this time, in front of her daughter, Xia Xiaona and his father couldn't say it too bluntly. He really hoped that the young man in front of him would be smart enough to understand the meaning of his words.

In this society, strength is all about strength, and if you have an official position in a large group, that is the safest thing.

Like Li Xin, it seems that he can make some money by investing on his own, but this is not a long-term thing after all. Xia Xiaona's father also speculated in stocks, knowing that it is the norm to make money today and lose money tomorrow. Being rich at this time does not mean that you will be rich in the future, just like the self-employed many years ago, when they were also very rich compared to the salaried employees of government agencies. But as time goes by, how many people can still be beautiful in the end?

As a father, he doesn't want his baby daughter to be without food and clothing in the future.

There is a more important point, as an intellectual, he really feels that a person who invests by himself is like being self-employed, with a very narrow vision and vision, and no big future.

His own family is also a scholarly family, although his daughter is not a lady, but the small family jasper is not wrong at all. The daughter who is one in a hundred in appearance and temperament will definitely find a suave son-in-law with status in the future.

Although the young man in front of him is also handsome and chic, he is not the best candidate in his eyes, at least his current position is very inconspicuous. And judging from the two short contacts, the young man in front of him is polite and very educated, which is good. But on the whole, it can be seen from him that he comes from an ordinary family, behaves too well, and lacks a domineering and pioneering spirit.

Perhaps it is precisely because of these reasons that he is reluctant to do sales, and he is not suitable for sales, but will only stumble in the position of such a small clerk.

Thinking of this, Xia Xiaona and her father couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts: It is said that character determines everything, which is absolutely true!

Although Li Xin couldn't completely guess that Xia Xiaona and her father's words had such a profound meaning for a while, the word "marginalization" still made him hear a little flavor.

In fact, when Li Xin chatted with his classmates and friends, everyone's topic was easy to involve such a relatively sensitive topic as their current positions.

Compared with others, although Li Xin is reluctant to compare, he sometimes feels embarrassed.

After all, after all these years, other classmates and friends really have a right in their hands. For example, Chen Hai is now a small leader in the design office of their unit, but he does not have an official position, which is really not good to say.

Xia Xiaona's father is right, if you want to go up in the Southern Group, you have to be the elite who produce and sell these two businesses.

But I didn't want to do these two businesses in my heart, and when I wanted to raise myself to the sales business in the past, I almost quit.

Thinking of this, Li Xin smiled a little awkwardly and did not speak.

However, Xia Xiaona interjected when she heard this: "The production business is all in the smelter and the mine, which are hundreds of kilometers away from Jiangcheng, what's the point of going there? Besides, it takes a few months to do sales as soon as they go out. Dad, what do you think?"

Xia Xiaona's father glared at his daughter: "What do you know about your little child!"

said that Xia Xiaona is one of the people who knows Li Xin best, because she can see that Li Xin has been a little aggrieved in the unit over the years.

When he was in the sugar company, he was not only not rewarded for his merits, but was demoted to a small station as a warehouse keeper, which is not mentioned.

It is said that under the two chairmen of the Southern Group, Liu Zhongzhou and Jin Changxing, the credit is greater than when he was in the sugar company, but in the position of assistant to the chairman, there are twists and turns, which makes many people in the group treat it as a joke.
