12. Chapter XII

What kind of person is Cheng Zhongguo?

Capable. He pulled Changyuan from a small factory that lost money year after year to one of the top three in the industry, with no background background, and the hard work and fatigue during this period were expected by anyone with social experience.

Good. Changyuan was transformed, but it did not become a hall of his Cheng family, with as many as 2,000 employees, not to mention how many family members were placed in the tertiary industry derived from Changyuan. has made a fortune, Cheng Zhongguo has not changed, he dresses plainly, never eats and drinks much, and has not reported peachy news for many years after losing his wife, he is simply an outlier among entrepreneurs, and his pure heart and few desires are extreme.

"Annoying. Zhao Congzhou sighed, "His old man's desire to control is unusually powerful." If nothing else, when I was a child, I didn't slip in my grades, and he always encouraged my dad to implement stick education, saying that boys can't succeed if they don't fight. My dad was eager to try, but fortunately my mom was able to suppress it, saying that she would dare to touch a hair of me, and she was not done with him. To this day, my dad often thinks that my mother has made a mistake and influenced me to become an outstanding young person. But in good conscience, where am I worse than others?"

Xu Tao sincerely agreed, "You are very good." "Everyone has their own way of living, Zhao Congzhou didn't make a lot of money, but he has what he should have, although his personal income is small, he can barely make ends meet. has the foundation laid by his father, as long as he doesn't have the nerves to play investment, he can afford the family with interest in this life.

They walked through the cemetery. Xu Tao mentioned that he wanted to sweep the graves of his grandparents, and Zhao Congzhou volunteered to accompany him.

It's not the season to sweep the graves, the cemetery is quiet, and the ground is full of dead branches and leaves. The wind blows, the green pines and cypresses whine, and the warm spots of light sway through the branches. Xu Tao has not been here for many years, and he has to go to the cemetery management office to check the registration to know the specific location, and it took a lot of effort to find it, just because of the wind and rain, and the name on the tombstone has long faded.

Zhao Congzhou broke a cypress branch, and put down the white rose after cleaning it seriously. It stands to reason that Xu Tao is the family, but Zhao Congzhou has a lot of strength, presses her to the side, and does things in front. Xu Tao asked himself, he would never be so afraid of being dirty or tired, and he could only give him a few smiles as a thank you gift.

After Xu Tao finished saluting, Zhao Congzhou also stepped forward and bowed three times. He looked at the tombstone and whispered to her, "Now I feel like you're like us, someone who lived here." ”

Xu Tao was speechless.

"I always feel that you are very capable, and you are free and easy, even Old Man Cheng can hold back and not get angry with you like that, it's not like a human being. Zhao Congzhou said, "Like a fairy, falling from the sky." ”

Xu Tao was even more speechless, and it took a long time before he burst out with a sentence, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

"What about uncles and aunts? They haven't come back since they moved to other places?" In Zhao Congzhou's cognition, traditional rituals such as tomb sweeping and worship are all the business of his parents, and he only needs to follow behind as a junior.

"Yes. Xu Tao also sighed with two feelings, "They broke up very early and each had a new family, me and my mother." It wasn't a good time, I hadn't been in touch for years, and I didn't know where my father was now. Receiving Zhao Congzhou's sympathetic eyes, she smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I'd rather they be separated, so as not to make everyone unhappy by quarreling every day." She looked at the tombstone again, "For me, it's important to seize the moment." Zhao Congzhou, I don't have tomorrow, only today. ”

"What a day tomorrow" Mr. stepped forward, put his arms around her shoulders, pressed her face to his chest, and said nothing. The two of them came all the way, and there was a light sweat on his body, which would stop sweating, but his chest was warm, and his powerful heart beat again and again.

Xu Tao laughed, "I'm not complaining...... Hey, you really don't have to be so kind. ”

Zhao Congzhou let go of his embrace and made a heartbroken expression, "Kindness?

Xu Tao couldn't help laughing, she stabbed him in the abdomen with an elbow, and watched him silently scream, "Zhao Yingjun, come on, you-a woman like me who loves money, so I won't fall in love with a poor bastard like you." "Zhao Yingjun"'s face was wrinkled, and he could speak for what "bitterness" was: "My dear, if you think about it again, I will make a fortune, and I am definitely a potential stock." Xu Tao held back a smile, "No, I want money now, I like jewelry, I want a big house." ”

"Zhao Yingjun" held her hand and begged, "Don't, I will have a chance......" Before he finished speaking, he saw that someone was coming, and finally he couldn't play. The person was probably a handyman in the cemetery area, and when he saw that there were a pair of young men and women, he looked at them curiously, but Xu Tao was more calm, and no one walked out. Zhao Congzhou chased after her, leaned into her ear and whispered, "You say, will he think we are vixens?"

"There's a male fox. Xu Tao said seriously, "I'm quite good at finding fun." ”

"Dinner for the evening? I owe you a meal. ”

"Don't- owe something too grand. Cheng Ping made an appointment with me, do you want to be together?" Xu Tao looked at Zhao Congzhou's embarrassment, "With the friendship between the two of you, you can be ordinary friends if you don't get married." It's not a bad thing to get to know each other a little more, and maybe you'll find the good. ”

Zhao Congzhou knew that Xu Tao was always leaving, and there were not many opportunities to get together for dinner, and every time Zhao Gang had a conflict with Cheng Qinghe, it was Cheng Ping and Cheng Ping who reconciled with him, he owed her a lot of affection, even if it was for this, he should invite her to dinner and return the courtesy. He gritted his teeth, "I'll invite you tonight, what do you want to eat?" Xu Tao reported the names of a few restaurants, and Zhao Congzhou's heart was shocked, "Stop! Stop! Where did you know about these places? Are those places for eating? Wrong! They eat money! I know that there is a good place to ensure that you can eat at ease and satisfied." However, Tao Tao, can you lose your temper again? It is right to lose your temper when you are wronged, and we don't help you when you encounter unreasonable criticism. ”

"Can a tantrum turn the tide?"

"No, you can't. Zhao Congzhou quickly added, "But people have seven emotions and six desires, and it is uncomfortable to be stuffy in my heart." ”

Xu Tao stopped, and Zhao Congzhou immediately stopped, listening with a face. She said, "I am a businessman, I follow profit, and I do nothing. He was confused, and subconsciously continued, "I'll take you to a good place with the best cost performance in the evening, and you can eat whatever you want." ”

This good place is the car wash that Qiao Jun opened with him, and he can eat whatever he wants, referring to the dozens of dishes he bought, "yams, potatoes, sweet potatoes, greens, cabbage, bean sprouts, duck blood, eggs、...... I bought all the vegetables that were available in the vegetable market. Zhao Congzhou showed his hands to the guests, and spent the whole afternoon choosing, washing, and chopping vegetables, soaking in water for too long, and his fingertips were wrinkled.

"Where's the meat?" Xu Tao quickly spotted the problem.

"Yes! The soup base is stewed with meat and bones. Zhao Congzhou stirred it in the pot with a soup spoon, and everyone tried to open their eyes wide, and when they saw a little meat residue, they couldn't help but cut it at the same time, this is also called meat!

Cheng Qinghe took out his mobile phone, planning to book dinner and change places. Zhao Congzhou also reacted quickly, "What, look down on my hard work?" he shook his hands, "There is no merit and hard work." Qiao Jun said, "It's a guest here, sit down, what do you drink? Seeing this, Cheng Pinghe stepped forward to help and set aside the disposable cup, "Xu Tao, what are you drinking?"

Just because he owed a meal, Cheng Qinghe didn't want to go, he wanted to supply Xu Tao, but she insisted on eating together, and he had to reluctantly follow. Xu Tao sat down first, he had no choice but to sit down, and then he was startled by the chopsticks sent to his hand.

Zhao Congzhou had an arrangement, a "stainless steel" soup spoon for each person, and purchased it from the vegetable stall. The roughness of the workmanship and the suspicious materials are also the first time Cheng Qinghe has seen them in his life. Zhao Congzhou was still there and enthusiastically introduced, "Ten yuan and five handfuls, I have washed them, scalded them with boiling water, and kept them clean." ”

Qiao Jun coughed, "We got together today, mainly because of Xu Tao's arrival, that ......" He looked at Zhao Congzhou pleadingly, and the latter said, "She brings vitality and happiness to our little place, let's toast her." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and touched them, no matter what, the atmosphere of eating hot pot was more cheerful. Although the environment is not very good, it all relies on an old air conditioner to lower the temperature hoarsely, but when Xu Tao is mentioned, even the corners of Cheng Qinghe's mouth are filled with a smile.

"Xu Tao, why did you think of coming to us?" Qiao Jun had heard Xu Tao's name hundreds of times from Zhao Congzhou's mouth, and when he saw him alive today, he was still sitting together to eat, and his curiosity about this beautiful and capable "female doctor" was greatly increased.

"I'm idle and have nothing to do, and someone introduces me to work. Xu Tao replied with a smile, "After I came, I found it very interesting, and I felt like I had found a little job, and I was quite happy, and my head was not rusty." ”

Cheng Pinghe said, "Where, if your head will be rusty, then I don't know what it is, stone, pig iron?"

"I'm not very good, but I've been working for a long time, and I've seen a little more than you. ”

Cheng Pinghe was silent, only looked at her and smiled, but Zhao Congzhou interjected, "One by one is too modest, according to what you said, the company doesn't need to issue performance bonuses! Anyway, it's either rusty or stone and pig iron." Mr. Cheng, do you think I'm right? If you are all unqualified, others are even more unqualified, so you can save a lot of performance bonuses. ”

Cheng Qinghe had been trying to straighten the two chopsticks, and when he heard his words, he was about to speak, and the chopsticks broke with a snap. Qiao Jun hurriedly went to get the new pair to him, Cheng Qing and thanked him and took it, and found that the new pair was new, but there were burrs. His face twitched slightly, and he started tonight's chopsticks repair project for the second time, and said after a while, "This is the company's internal affairs, and outsiders don't have to worry about it." ”

Qiao Jun coughed and said, "Come on, come on, this sweet potato is quite delicious in the broth." He fished out a piece and wanted to put it in Cheng Qinghe's bowl, but the latter quickly stretched out his chopsticks to block it, and the sweet potato fell on the disposable tablecloth. Qiao Jun was stunned for a moment, and Xu Tao calmly ate it, "According to the three-second theory, bacteria haven't had time to contaminate food in three seconds. ”

Cheng Qinghe snorted, "Crooked." ”

Xu Tao laughed, "Okay, Cheng Qinghe, don't hold it." It's either your cousin or your old classmate here, and I'm just an outsider, and you're embarrassed to leave me to patronize yourself? I'm not your subordinate anymore, it's good to be willing to eat with you, and I'm willing to help you play a round - you should just snicker. ”

Cheng Qinghe was silent.

Cheng Ping and a clever man picked up the cup, "I respect you." Gently clinking glasses with Xu Tao, she asked, "Xu Tao, in your opinion, what needs to be improved in the management of our company?"

"Nagahara didn't manage. "What's particularly interesting is that it works pretty well in this situation." Seeing that Cheng Qing, her brother and sister and Zhao Congzhou were all "glaring" at her, she felt even more interesting - they were bound by Changyuan, they were depressed, but they couldn't stand it when they encountered external criticism, "Okay, I was wrong, it still has management, the past, old-fashioned, paternalistic." ”

Qiao Jun coughed again, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"

Cheng Qinghe threw down the chopsticks, "People with colds pay attention to themselves!"

Qiao Jun was stunned, and said slowly, "I don't have a cold, it's not that I don't know what to do, a dry cough is good to distract everyone......" Zhao Congzhou smiled, "Don't explain, people with low emotional intelligence can't understand your painstaking ......" Cheng Pinghe hurriedly answered, "Yes, eat vegetables." ”

Everyone eats with their heads bored.

Cheng Qinghe suddenly said for a long time, "Since you think Changyuan is not managed, why don't you leave immediately?"

Xu Tao was fishing for the sweet potatoes inside, and when he heard this, he said, "But the people in Changyuan are very cute, and I am reluctant to leave immediately." And," she muttered, "things in the world are hard and easy, and I would love to see what I could do, but unfortunately the chairman was quicker." ”

The other four people thought of Cheng Zhongguo's resolute and resolute behavior, and Xu Tao was the victim, so they immediately shut up.

Only Xu Tao was still interested, "I'm a little angel helping people." ”

Give warmth to those who lack love, courage to those who are cowardly, and money and power to love money and greedy power. In the evening, Xu Tao did good things to the end and met the third batch of guests of the day.

Yang Weihua was a little uneasy, "I don't know each other, and the chairman didn't help you talk when he came, it seems to be a little ...... Reactive power is not punished. ”

"Small things, it's still relatively easy for me to do, and I happen to have a friend who is doing study abroad consulting. Xu Tao smiled, "If Mr. Yang doesn't want to go, then do me a favor." ”

Yang Weihua knew that this money was not small, and Xu Tao would not ask for nothing, but when he heard her say this, his heart was still pang, what did she do?

Xu Tao didn't seem to notice his changes, and said lightly, "The next time the small boss and the senior management have a dispute, Mr. Yang will help mediate." Can this help?"

Yang Weihua breathed a sigh of relief, remembering those rumors, Xu Tao and Cheng Qinghe had a relationship for a long time, maybe this is still what Cheng Qinghe meant, but the young man is tender and can't get off the stage to speak by himself. He smiled, "What's the matter!" I watched Mr. Cheng grow up, what should I do, how can I get help." ”

"That's good. ”
