The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Waiting for Cao Tiemin to come back happily, he held a small stack of red RMB in his hand and said to Cao Shujie: "I made another 300 yuan per bucket. My business is good, isn't it?"

"Fuck, I made so much money, I must eat it up at noon today." Cao Shujie said with a sly smile.

Cao Tiemin pointed at him and said, "You are a big boss who makes billions a year, but you are targeting a small group of people like me. How dare you do that?"

"There's nothing I can do. We are brothers. If I don't cheat you, who else should I cheat?" Cao Shujie was also helpless.

"Go wherever it's cool, and moisten yourself there." said Cao Tiemin.

Cao Shujie didn't care either. The two of them chatted and this feeling made Cao Shujie feel relaxed.

He felt that it had been a long time since he had let go of everything and communicated with others as fully as he did now.

At noon, the two of them had a few drinks in Cao Tiemin's shop, but they were both holding back on alcohol, planning to drink in the evening.

What Cao Shujie didn't expect was that Cao Zhen and Cao Fei also returned from the city.

"Cao Fei, did you ask for leave?" Cao Shujie asked.
Cao Fei pouted: "What a joke. I told them I was going back to Pingyuan County Five Star Department Store to do something. I just asked Cao Zhen to take me there. We just came here after a short walk."

"This is typical corruption," said Cao Shujie.

But Cao Fei disagreed. He said, "I call this the rational use of power. If you don't use it now, it will expire."

Several people burst into laughter.

It is indeed as Cao Fei said, these are all harmless little things.

The landlord Cao Tiemin asked the two of them to sit down, and they chatted, with most of the topics revolving around children.

Cao Zhen mentioned something: "Shujie, how are the schools in town? The school our eldest child attends is so good at comparing with others since kindergarten. Damn it, what's wrong with kids nowadays?"

He was furious.

Cao Shujie was puzzled and asked him, "Pamir should have just started school, right? Why is he comparing himself with others at such a young age?"

"That's right. Their teacher has set up a parent group. Some people brag about which unit they work for, what car they drive, and which neighborhood they bought their house in. I really don't know what they have to show off. Where does their sense of superiority come from?"

Cao Zhen gestured with his hands: "Let me tell you, this is not the most outrageous thing."

He thought of what happened in his daughter's school, with an incredible expression on his face: "You may not know that the children in their school, at the age of three or four, know what clothes to wear, whose car is good, and whose snacks are good..."

Cao Zhen kept talking, and it was obvious that he was really unhappy with the situation during this period, but there was nothing he could do.

"It's the same everywhere. That's how society is." Cao Tiemin advised him to be more open-minded.

Cao Zhen was just complaining, and after he finished, he felt much better.

"Brothers, let me tell you, I've found over the years that I can only talk freely with you guys when I get together, but when I get together with other people, I don't want to say even a single word." Cao Zhen sighed.

In the past two years, he has expanded the Yiling main branch of the Xinjiang Restaurant. In addition to opening a store in a five-star department store and a branch in Caojiazhuang, he opened another branch in another newly built New Mart shopping center in Yiling last year. That store is even larger than his first store, but business is so-so.

To be honest, the branch in Caojiazhuang has the best business among the three stores.

His life is definitely better than most people, and his savings are now in eight figures.

"Don't talk about useless things, Cao Zhen, I remember the party in February. Didn't you say that your wife is pregnant with second child? When is the due date?" Cao Shujie asked him.

He forgot to ask the last time they met.

Speaking of this, Cao Zhen became excited: "In July, or maybe at the end of next month, I'll have a caesarean section. It's not certain yet, so we have to wait and see."

"Why do we need to prepare for both situations?" Cao Shujie frowned.

Then I heard Cao Zhen say, "What can I say? This second child is too much trouble. My wife checked and found that she has a placenta previa, but fortunately it's not serious."

"But I've been going to the hospital a lot lately for checkups, to avoid being caught off guard if something happens."

Seeing that Cao Zhen didn't seem very nervous, the brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Cao Shujie is quite sensitive about "placenta previa", which doesn't sound like a good word.

He even checked it on his mobile phone, and sure enough, it wasn't good. No wonder Cao Zhen said just now that his wife might have a caesarean section in June.

While the others were bragging, Cao Shujie sat next to Cao Zhen and told him, "Pay more attention. I know Liang Shihong, the vice president of Yiling People's Hospital. If you need anything, you can ask him for help. Just tell him I asked you to go, and he will definitely help you find the best obstetrician."

"Okay, with what you said, there will be no problem." Cao Zhen said.

"Shujie, thank you." Cao Zhen said.

Cao Shujie punched him on the back and said, "Thank you for nothing. Drink a couple more glasses tonight."

"I dare not drink anymore. I have to drive back and be ready at any time." Cao Zhen said.

Since he, a drunkard, said this, Cao Shujie understood even more clearly that his wife's situation was not as easy as he said.

"They are all stubborn people who always talk big." Cao Shujie sighed in his heart.

I don’t know when, no one was willing to tell their brothers about their sufferings anymore, and everyone kept it to themselves.

Cao Shujie was thinking, if this continued, he would develop some health problems.

Cao Shulun and Cao Shuyang arrived a little later.

Cao Shulun's company has not been having a good time recently. A safety accident just happened and two people died. The head office personally appointed a safety inspection team to come and check it out.

People like Cao Shulun who can be considered as small leaders naturally have to be prepared at all times at their posts.

As for Cao Shuyang, he no longer has to guard the toll booth. It is said that he was given a verbal warning for taking the blame for his leader, and then transferred to logistics.

But Cao Shuyang didn't look miserable at all because of the punishment. Instead, he looked a little proud.

In his words, he had long been unwilling to do the hard work of collecting fees and having to work night shifts.

It is so nice to work in logistics now, and get off work on time every day. This alone makes him feel that it is worth taking the blame.

"Why are you taking the blame? Does it have any impact on you? If things don't go well, just go back to Caojiazhuang. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but why are you hanging around outside? Your hometown is so much better." Cao Shujie said.

Several people did not take up the topic.

Cao Shujie did such a great job in his hometown that his childhood friends felt pressured.

They felt that they could still get along well if they were hanging out outside, but if they all went home to hang out with Cao Shujie, they felt that this relationship might be over.

Seeing that they were silent, Cao Shujie said to them: "You are just being pretentious."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people looked at him with strange eyes.

Cao Zhen fanned the flames: "Brothers, did you hear that? This guy looks down on you. Get him drunk to death tonight."

"Must!" Cao Shuyang said aggressively.

...In the evening, Cao Shuyang was indeed the one who drank the most with Cao Shujie.

Maybe because he was drunk, Cao Shuyang also talked about the violations of their stationmaster. To put it bluntly, it was still corruption, but it was not about blocking cars on the highway.

Nowadays, with such advanced surveillance and complete systems, who would dare to do this?

They were tampering with the logistics, but the matter was discovered by the higher-ups when they checked and found that the accounts didn't match the purchased items. They all knew there must be something fishy going on.

After a while, when it seemed that the investigation was about to lead to the webmaster, Cao Shuyang stepped forward to take the blame.

In their view, it was not a big deal, just an internal warning and a deduction of one year's bonus, but this warning would not affect Cao Shuyang's salary increase, performance evaluation, and promotion next year...

It was clear after hearing this. Cao Shujie even joked with him: "Shuyang, this means you will be promoted next year. Congratulations."

"Hehe, there's no other way. The right way doesn't work, so I can only take the crooked way." There was helplessness in Cao Shuyang's words.

He worked hard and there seemed to be no end in sight, but who could have thought that he would end up taking the crooked path.

Working at a highway toll station is not that easy.

Basically everyone has connections, so at this time it depends on who is more ruthless.

It goes without saying that at this stage, he stands out.

Unless the webmaster goes back on his word, the tacit agreement among everyone will not be realized in the end.

But if that were the case, Cao Shuyang thought to himself that he would definitely give him a hand in the end, and then resign himself to his fate and return to Caojiazhuang to retire.

Among the six of them, Cao Zhen was the only one who didn't drink.

Before leaving in the evening, Cao Zhen drove Cao Fei back to Yiling City.

Cao Shujie did not go back. He found a hotel nearby and stayed there.

The next morning, I drank a bowl of mutton soup in the county town before driving back to Qingshi Town.

When he arrived at the factory, people from all departments were busy. Cao Shujie went to the Human Resources Department office on the second floor and came to Wang Zhifeng. As soon as he entered the door, he saw him busy making a phone call.

I've been negotiating with the person on the other end of the phone, and it doesn't seem to be going well.

Cao Shujie didn't disturb him and let him continue to make the call. Cao Shujie pulled over a chair and sat down.

After waiting for Wang Zhifeng to finish his call, he reported the situation to Cao Shujie.

Just now he contacted the other party according to the list given to him by Cao Shujie.

The few people with phone numbers could all match the numbers, and they all worked in the original units. However, when Wang Zhifeng introduced the situation here to them and tactfully said that he could give them high salaries and thought about researching new projects together, the conversation could not continue.

The other party had never heard of their company, let alone knew that they had their own experiments.

They always felt that Wang Zhifeng was deceiving them, and they would not take the risk of leaving the research institute just to earn the so-called high salary.

"Manager Wang, don't be anxious, take your time." Cao Shujie comforted him in return.

I also told him: "If necessary, you can go there in person and talk to the other party face to face, and say that it was me who said it."

Wang Zhifeng thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"How is your second child? He's doing well lately, right?" Cao Shujie asked.

Wang Zhifeng's youngest son just turned 3 months old.

His wife is a typical older mother, over 40 years old. She just happened to catch up with the policy of having a second child, and she insisted on having another child, saying that she wanted one to keep the older one company.

When the baby was just one month old, they went to join in the fun and saw that the little guy had grown white and plump.

"Hehe, he can eat and sleep well, which makes him less troublesome than the boss." Wang Zhifeng said.

Cao Shujie nodded: "If you are on a business trip, can your family take care of you?"

"It's not a big problem. I'll hire a nanny for her." This is what Wang Zhifeng said.

Cao Shujie originally wanted to ask why not let his parents look after him, but then he remembered Wang Zhifeng’s age. His parents were probably not young either, so how could they take care of him?

"Okay, then you go there in person and talk to them," said Cao Shujie.

Wang Zhifeng did not refuse.

He knew very well that he had to step up at this time and find ways to overcome the difficulties at home.

Otherwise, why can he earn such a high income?
After Cao Shujie left, Wang Zhifeng called his wife and told her that he was going on a business trip and that he would be away for about a week.

His wife also understands that this is a normal job, and if she wants this high income, she must make corresponding efforts.

"I'm fine. I'll find someone to help look after you for the next two days. I'll be back as soon as I'm done." Wang Zhifeng told his wife.

His wife didn't object either.

The parents on both sides of the family are very old and they are simply unable to take care of them.

The eldest child needs someone to take him to school, and the second child also needs someone to take care of him, so finding someone is the best solution.

Wang Zhifeng is already considering which relative to ask for help.

He couldn't trust anyone, no matter who he picked.

……

After leaving Wang Zhifeng's place, Cao Shujie came to his office, thinking about the person on the list he had just called. Cao Shujie had already considered that this would definitely be difficult. The research institute where they used to work was, after all, a formal unit.

Each project can receive a state-subsidized allowance. In addition, after completing some projects, they can publish their own papers and gain both fame and fortune. This is far more tempting to them than a so-called high salary.

Another point is that the research institute where he used to work was in Beijing, while his current laboratory is in an inconspicuous town.

Moreover, when their contribution reaches a certain level, the research institute will help them solve the problem of Beijing household registration. As long as the household registration problem is solved, it will not be a problem for their children to go to school in Beijing, including taking the college entrance examination in the future. Having a Beijing household registration will make it much more convenient.

From this perspective alone, they may not be willing to leave that place.

After all, the school resources in the capital are simply incomparable to those in Qingshi Town.

The main reason why Cao Shujie didn't let Mengmeng go to any famous school was because he had let it go and didn't let Mengmeng be so stubborn anymore.

Besides, the various assets they have prepared for Mengmeng and her siblings don’t require them to work hard anymore.

Just don't be too wasteful when the time comes.

As for the rest, once the siblings have their own ideas, Cao Shujie will let them go and let them make their own choices. (End of this chapter)
