At seven o'clock in the morning, Zhao Changfeng was woken up by his mother and told him that it was time to set off a cannon and eat dumplings.

The sound of firecrackers outside the window was endless, and his father handed Zhao Changfeng a lit cigarette, and gave Zhao Changfeng a firecracker with 3,000 rings, patted Zhao Changfeng on the shoulder and said: "Son, from now on, you should take over the errand of setting off firecrackers for the New Year!" ”

Zhao Changfeng smiled: "Dad, isn't it just a hanging cannon?" To put it solemnly, it is the same as a big errand. ”

After receiving the firecrackers, Zhao Changfeng saw that it was 3,000 ordinary firecrackers, so he asked his father: "Dad, why don't you buy 10,000 earth-shattering thunderbolts, how imposing!" ”

The father said earnestly: "Changfeng, it's better to be introverted." Just because you have money and become an official, you can't hate to engrave the words money and official words on your brain, for fear that others won't see it. You're a multi-millionaire, you're just a five-dollar stall, you're still a multi-millionaire; You are the governor, even if you squeeze the bus to work every day, you are still the governor. Got it? The New Year's cannon is also a festive picture, we just put a hanging, why do you have to make that big noise, for fear that others don't know that my old Zhao family is rich? I'm afraid that others won't know that the kid of the old Zhao family is an official in the provincial political axe? ”

Mother came over and pushed Zhao Changfeng: "Go, go, go and set off firecrackers, don't listen to your father's nagging." Really, don't pick a time to educate children! ”

Zhao Changfeng shrugged his shoulders, opened the door, and according to the customs of Shanyang City, he lit the firecrackers with a cigarette at the door of his house, and the firecrackers rang out deafeningly.

After setting off the firecrackers, my mother brought three bowls of steaming dumplings and placed them on the table on the front wall of the living room, and an ancestral tablet of the old Zhao family was erected on the table.

My father lit three sticks of incense with a lighter, and respectfully inserted his hands into the incense burner in front of the ancestral tablet. Then the father stood in the middle, and the mother and Zhao Changfeng stood on both sides and bowed three times to the ancestral tablet of the old Zhao family.

"Alright, it's ready to eat!" Father said with a smile.

Zhao Changfeng went over to hold the dumplings to his mother with both hands, and his mother proudly raised her chopsticks to demonstrate to her father, Zhao Changfeng pretended not to see it, and went to pick up another bowl of dumplings and handed it to his father. The father smiled and said, "Good boy, are you dissatisfied with the lesson I just taught you?" ”

Zhao Changfeng smiled, didn't argue, and picked up the remaining bowl of dumplings.

My father said with great interest: "Come, let's compare our family of three to see whose fortune is prosperous this year!" ”

The mother said disdainfully: "Lao Zhao, do you still need to compare?" It must be our patriarch who ate the candy cube first. ”

According to the custom of Shanyang City, when a family eats dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they must wrap a coin in the dumplings, and if anyone eats the dumplings wrapped in coins, it means that whoever has good fortune this year. Zhao Changfeng's mother always felt that it was unhygienic to wrap coins in dumplings, so she changed to wrap a candy cube, according to his mother, who can eat this candy cube, not only wealthy, but also sweet life.

"Not necessarily!" The father shook his head, "Whose wealth is prosperous, you don't know until you have eaten dumplings." Come on, let's eat! ”

The family happily ate the dumplings.

Just after eating two bites, Zhao Changfeng laughed and said, "Dad, I'm really sorry, my fortune is stronger than yours, I ate a candy cube." ”

Father leaned over to take a look, isn't there a piece of candy wrapped in the middle of half of Zhao Changfeng's chopsticks?

"No, no, no, it must be your mother who cheated and deliberately left this bowl of dumplings with sugar cubes for you!" Father laughed.

Mother was about to retort when she heard the doorbell ring. Zhao Changfeng hurriedly put down the bowl and went over to open the door. Yang Jiangchao and Teacher Zhou stood at the door with a large pile of gifts and Xiaohui.

Zhao Changfeng hurriedly said, "Oh, Brother Yang, Teacher Zhou, why are you here?" I'm saying I've eaten to greet you for the New Year! Come, come on, come in and talk. ”

Yang Jiangchao said as he walked inside: "Changfeng, I am Ren Dong's subordinate, so naturally I should come over to visit Ren Dong!" ”

After Yang Jiangchao became the general manager of Funiu Mountain Scenic Area, he knew that the chairman of Funiu Mountain Scenic Area Development Company was Zhao Changfeng's mother, Ren Qiaofen. Yang Jiangchao understood that the Funiu Mountain Scenic Area Development Company was actually Zhao Changfeng's industry, and Zhao's mother, Ren Qiaofen, was just a false name.

Knowing this, Yangjiang Supernatural couldn't let Zhao Changfeng go to his house to pay New Year's greetings to him. Not to mention that Zhao Changfeng had a life-saving grace for his daughter Xiaohui, and also saved him from prison, just from the fact that he was Zhao Changfeng's subordinate, he should take the initiative to go to Zhao Changfeng's house to pay New Year's greetings. Although Zhao Changfeng said on the phone that he was going to pay him New Year's greetings, how could Yang Jiangchao, as a subordinate, not know the severity? If he can really wait for Zhao Changfeng at home to pay New Year's greetings to him, it means that he will not be able to sit for long as the general manager of the Funiu Mountain Scenic Area Development Company, and maybe another person will be elected to replace him as general manager.

Therefore, Yang Jiangchao received a call from Zhao Changfeng yesterday, and he made up his mind that he must set off early on the first day of the Lunar New Year and come to Zhao Changfeng's house to pay New Year's greetings before Zhao Changfeng's action. Therefore, Yangjiangchao's time was specially advanced, and there was a slightly embarrassing situation when Zhao Changfeng's family was eating dumplings and they came over to pay New Year's greetings.

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother had already put down the bowl, and when they saw that it was Yangjiangchao's family, they hurriedly greeted them.

"Chairman Ren, Happy New Year!" Yang Jiangchao said first.

Xiaohui also said: "Happy New Year to grandparents!" ”

In fact, Yang Jiangchao's age is not a few years younger than Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, it stands to reason that Xiaohui should call Zhao's father and Zhao's mother uncle, but since Yangjiangchao and Zhao Changfeng are brothers, then Xiaohui has to be demoted to another generation and call Zhao's father and Zhao's mother grandparents.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Yang!" Mother Zhao smiled and said, "Xiaohui, come over to grandma's side and let grandma take a look." ”

Zhao's mother also heard Zhao Changfeng talk about Xiaohui, and she loved and pitied Xiaohui. Xiao Hui obediently ran over and snuggled in Zhao's mother's arms.

"Well, Xiaohui has grown a lot taller, and her complexion is much more ruddy." Mother Zhao stroked Xiao Hui's ponytail with a smile, then turned her head to Zhao's father and said, "Old Zhao, where is the red envelope?" ”

Father Zhao hurriedly took out two big red envelopes from his arms and stuffed them into Xiaohui's hands, and said: "Xiaohui, this is the New Year's money given to you by your grandparents, you keep it, don't let your parents confiscate it for you!" ”

Xiao Hui smiled and put it away in her arms, and said, "Grandparents, don't worry, my parents never accept my New Year's money." ”

When the teacher next week led Xiaohui to talk with Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, Zhao Changfeng and Yang Jiangchao hid in the study to talk about the Niushan Scenic Area.

Zhao Changfeng actually knows the situation of Funiu Mountain Scenic Area very well. His dormitory is equipped with a fax machine, and in addition to telephone contact, every week the financial department of Yangjiang Chaohe Scenic Area will fax a copy of various reports from the Funiu Mountain Scenic Area to Zhao Changfeng. These reports and data can give Zhao Changfeng a clear understanding of the operation of the scenic area. Therefore, Yang Jiangchao and Zhao Changfeng talked about the Funiu Mountain Scenic Area at this time, and it was more about the future planning and assumption of the Funiu Mountain Scenic Area.

Zhao Changfeng listened to Yang Jiangchao's report, and had to admit that Yang Jiangchao is a genius in the development, construction, promotion and operation of scenic spots.

Zhao Changfeng affirmed Yangjiangchao's contribution to the development, construction and promotion of the scenic area, and then pointed out some deficiencies in the scenic area. Of course, these deficiencies Zhao Changfeng is from the perspective of financial management, such as the efficiency of capital operation, the proportion of management expenses and operating expenses, etc., which are Zhao Changfeng's strengths. Strictly speaking, Yang Jiangchao has done a very good job in these aspects, but in the eyes of professionals like Zhao Changfeng, of course, there is room for improvement. This is not Zhao Changfeng picking faults, but a leadership management strategy. For the management of subordinates, it is necessary to adopt a policy of carrots and sticks that are both gracious and powerful. If you keep giving carrots to your subordinates for a long time, even the most obedient subordinates will feel complacent in your heart, thinking that you are very important to the company, and the boss will definitely not be able to leave you.

Although Yang Jiangchao will not go that far because of Zhao Changfeng's great kindness to him at present, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not go that far in the future. Therefore, Zhao Changfeng must take precautions from now on, and definitely not give Yangjiang a chance to his tail.

After listening to Zhao Changfeng's criticism, Yang Jiangchao was really scared. He thought that he had done well enough, but he didn't expect that Zhao Changfeng still found a few faults here, it seems that the reason why the boss became the boss really has his reasons. Although Zhao Changfeng is young, his eyes are sharp and sharp, which is far from being comparable to himself.

Zhao Changfeng saw that his words had achieved his goal, so he didn't continue to speak, he changed his words and said to Yang Jiangchao: "Brother Yang, I want to discuss something with Teacher Zhou later, do you think it's convenient?" ”
