The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

In Zhuang Yonghua's eyes, allowing her daughter to stay in Caojiazhuang to work is the same idea as those people in the old state-owned enterprises.

When her daughter graduated in July, she wanted her husband to talk to Cao Shujie and see if her daughter could be left in Caojiazhuang or go to work in Cao Shujie's factory.

But her husband was too concerned about his reputation and couldn't open his mouth, so the last time he asked him to do it, he failed to do it in the end.

Zhuang Yonghua no longer had any hope for her husband at that time, and during that period, Zhuang Yonghua often rolled her eyes at her husband.

Later, in order to prevent the old couple from quarreling again, her daughter took the initiative to go to the city to find a job. This incident made Zhuang Yonghua think that Cao Jianlong was unreliable at critical moments and he had been the village party secretary of Caojiazhuang for several years in vain.

However, she did not expect that two months after her daughter graduated, Cao Jianlong suddenly called her and said that during the meeting today, Cao Shujie took the initiative to ask her daughter to work at Caojiazhuang Tourism Company, and she could also work part-time for the Caojiazhuang Village Committee to organize some activities and get a subsidy of 1000 yuan from the village committee.

Upon hearing the result, Zhuang Yonghua burst into tears of joy.

But she also wondered what had happened in the meantime that led to such a change.

The time was too short and Cao Jianlong didn't have time to explain it to her in detail over the phone. In the end, he just said that he would invite Cao Shujie to dinner tonight and other people from the Caojiazhuang Village Committee would accompany her, and asked her to come with her daughter.

Zhuang Yonghua thought to herself, just go and find out what happened.

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Yonghua went to another room and called her daughter Cao Shuli: "Shuli, Shuli."

"Mom, you called me?" Cao Shuli responded and ran out of the house.

Zhuang Yonghua said, "Your dad just called and said that your brother Jie has arranged a job for you in the village committee. Your dad wants to invite him to dinner tonight and asked us to go together. Hurry up and change your clothes. Let's go quickly and don't keep your brother Jie waiting for too long."

"Village committee work?" Cao Shuli was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

She remembered very clearly that her father was unwilling to speak up and the matter was left unresolved. Why was it brought up again?

Ah, could it be that his father secretly asked Brother Jie for help in getting her job?
Unable to figure it out, and with her mother urging her again and again, Cao Shuli changed her clothes and went out with her mother.

At this time, Cao Shuli remembered something and asked her mother where to go for dinner tonight?
"They said we were going to the Fuxing Hotel in town. Your dad will make the arrangements, so just let him pay. Don't worry about it," said Zhuang Yonghua.

Cao Shuli wanted to laugh and thought her mother was really interesting.

The mother and daughter walked towards the Caojiazhuang Village Committee compound together. They met many villagers along the way, and they stopped and walked frequently, which wasted quite a bit of time.

After coming over, Cao Shuli found her father, Cao Jianlong, standing outside and talking on the phone. She walked over quickly and asked, "Dad, why are you going out to eat again today?"

"Didn't your mother tell you?" After hanging up the phone, Cao Jianlong turned to look at his wife with his eyes drooped.

Cao Shuli shook her head: "My mom said that Brother Jie arranged a job for me. Dad, what's going on?"

Cao Jianlong quickly told his daughter the whole story.

Zhuang Yonghua came over and listened patiently. After Cao Jianlong finished speaking, the mother and daughter finally understood what had happened.

Zhuang Yonghua even looked at her daughter and asked, "Shuli, did you tell your father about that market?"

Cao Shuli nodded: "Mom, I told my dad, but I didn't expect my dad would tell Brother Jie."

"I just mentioned this to him by chance. I originally thought it was nothing, but I didn't expect that your brother Jie took it so seriously." Cao Jianlong also felt a little dizzy.

He told Cao Shujie four things, and the reason why he mentioned the theme market last proved that he himself did not attach importance to this matter. However, he did not expect that Cao Shujie attached the most importance to this matter.

This is what is called planting willows by accident and getting a shade.

Cao Shuli was a little confused after hearing this: "What should we do now?"

"Shuli, tell Dad honestly, do you want to go back to Caojiazhuang to work?" Cao Jianlong asked her seriously.

To be honest, Cao Shuli definitely wants to work in Caojiazhuang.

This way it would be convenient to go home, and Cao Shuli was not a woman who only cared about ideas. She knew very well that working in Caojiazhuang would bring her many conveniences in the future.

However, Caojiazhuang is now a popular place, and it is not easy to get a job in the Caojiazhuang Village Committee or the Caojiazhuang Tourism Company.

Even going to work at Xuemeng Food Factory is now more difficult than before.

Cao Shuli didn't want to make her father feel embarrassed about this matter, so she never showed it. But this time, Brother Jie took the initiative to talk about asking her to come back to work. When Cao Shuli heard her father talking about the theme market, she suddenly realized it, but she didn't think it was a big deal.

"I'm not sure, but it was your brother Jie who said so. He asked me to ask you if you're willing to come back to work. If you are, you can join the travel company, and they'll offer you 3000 yuan."

"If you help the village committee plan some activities, the village committee will give you a subsidy of 1000 yuan every month." Cao Jianlong directly told his daughter his salary.

Just from the perspective of salary, Cao Shuli wants to come back to work.

He found a planning job in a shopping mall in the city, with a salary of over 2000 yuan, which she didn't want to do. However, she couldn't find a more suitable job for the time being. Cao Shuli thought about finding a job to make a living first, and then slowly looking for a suitable one.

Unexpectedly, the most suitable job fell out of the blue, which made Cao Shuli feel like pie in the sky.

"Come with me first. Your brother Jie will talk to you. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't play tricks on your brother Jie." Cao Jianlong specifically reminded his daughter.

Cao Jianlong knew that Cao Shujie didn't like people who played tricks.

"Dad, I know." Cao Shuli nodded, still feeling a little nervous, and followed her father in.

At this time, Cao Shujie, Gao Changyin, Lu Ping, Cao Shuchao, and Liu Guoqiang were chatting in the conference room. When they saw Cao Jianlong come in with his daughter and wife, they all laughed.

After Cao Jianlong came in, he said to Cao Shujie, "Secretary Cao, I asked Shuli to come over."

"Uncle Long, you are too polite."

Cao Shujie then looked at Zhuang Yonghua and Cao Shuli: "Aunt, sister, you two should sit down quickly."

After the two sat down, Cao Shujie asked Cao Shuchao to pour some water, and he looked at Cao Shuli and asked her about the theme market.

I want to ask how she came up with this idea?

Cao Shuli did not hesitate and spoke on the spot.

It turns out that this matter is related to her going to college.

While in college, a fundraising event for classmates took place in their school.

However, this fundraising is not a donation in the traditional sense. Instead, the school holds a "fundraising theme small bazaar" event, allowing students and teachers to participate voluntarily. Based on the principle of free trade, all the money obtained from the ceremony will be used for donations, and the school will also make donations in equal proportion.

In this fundraising bazaar, the prices of the items sold are definitely at a premium, but there are still a lot of people participating. Everyone wants to do their part. What they buy is not things, but goodwill.

Besides donating, you can also buy some commemorative gifts at the market. Why not?

This incident left a deep impression on Cao Shuli.

After listening to Cao Shuli's story, Cao Shujie suddenly understood, but he still had some questions, so he asked Cao Shuli: "Where do the things you sell come from?"

"Brother Jie, this was given voluntarily by our classmates. We have a lot of things we don't need, and it would be a pity to throw them away, but we don't know who to give them to, so we took them out and sold them at the market as souvenirs. At the same time, the donation is also a token of our appreciation." This is what Cao Shuli said to Cao Shujie.

She said it very clearly and Cao Shujie understood it immediately.

When others heard Cao Shuli give this specific example, they immediately understood. At this moment, they became more interested in this kind of theme market.

Cao Shuchao was also clamoring for someone to come up with a theme as soon as possible. They also took advantage of the fact that tourism in Caojiazhuang had not yet stopped and held a "theme fair" to see the effect.

Cao Shujie waved his hand and told him not to rush.

The more this kind of thing happens, the more you must not be confused and must take it seriously.

No one is a fool. If you treat this matter with a foolish attitude this time, you will definitely suffer backlash later.

Cao Shuli also said: "Brother Jie is right, theme fairs must be sincere to each other."

"Shuli, if Caojiazhuang also wants to hold a theme market, what do you think should be done?" Cao Shujie asked her directly.

After hearing Cao Shujie's question, Cao Jianlong and Zhuang Yonghua became nervous.

Gao Changyin, Lu Ping, Liu Guoqiang, Cao Shuchao and others are all thinking about what to do?

But they have never been exposed to this area, and what they have seen and heard has limited their thinking, so they can't come up with better ideas.

Before they could come up with a good idea, Cao Shuli said, "Brother Jie, I think we can play to our strengths." Cao Shujie asked him again, "So what do you think are the advantages of Caojiazhuang?"

Cao Shuli pondered for a while, then said: "If it is a holiday, we can hold a holiday market or an annual market. Instead of selling fresh vegetables, we can sell fruits and fruit-related products, and sell festive items."

"But if there is no festive atmosphere on weekdays, we can also make our own theme," said Cao Shuli.

She expressed her ideas from the most down-to-earth perspective, saying that it is possible to organize a food market, a handicraft market, and other things.

"These are all too common." Cao Shujie simply shook his head and denied it.

He felt that this kind of market had no selling points and was not worth paying Cao Shuli 4000 yuan a month.

In some ways, Cao Shujie is a fair and impartial person, and what he needs is talent.

If Caojiazhuang wants to continue to develop, it cannot rely on itself alone, and it needs more talents to join in.

Just like Cao Jianlong and his team mentioned this time that they wanted to extend the closure time of the park and orchard by 20 days, which means 20 more days of buying and selling transactions. This shows that Caojiazhuang's tourism economy is completely dependent on his orchard and park. Without these two factors, the so-called Caojiazhuang tourism economy is zero.

That's not okay.

This is not what Cao Shujie wants.

So when Cao Jianlong mentioned the theme market, Cao Shujie had a vague idea in his mind, but he did not form an overall outline.

He called Cao Shuli over because he wanted to fill in this gap for Caojiazhuang.

Judging from what Cao Shuli just said, it was not enough to meet his requirements.

Cao Shujie was thinking about this in his heart, and Cao Shuli continued, "Brother Jie, let me ask you something."

"Go ahead." Cao Shujie was also curious about what she wanted to ask.
Then Cao Shuli asked, "Brother Jie, I heard that you wanted to tell a story about the mountain we are developing?"

Cao Shujie subconsciously looked at Cao Jianlong. This matter had only been discussed at the village committee meeting and not many people knew about it.

Cao Jianlong was being stared at by Cao Shujie, and he felt a little embarrassed because he had not done a good job of keeping the secret.

But for the sake of his daughter, Cao Jianlong held his neck straight and could not lower his head.

Cao Shujie admitted: "There was such an incident. I picked up a broken bottle on the dam. When I went to Beijing last year, I took the bottle to be appraised. I thought it was a treasure, but it turned out to be worthless."

After hearing Cao Shujie complain that it was not worth much, Cao Jianlong and others became interested.

Everyone knows that Cao Shujie is rich. What if what he calls "worthless" is worth hundreds of thousands or millions?
Gao Changyin even specifically asked him how much the item was worth after appraisal.

"At that time, the appraiser told me that if I found one that he liked, he would give me hundreds of thousands of yuan. If I didn't find one that he liked, he would only give me tens of thousands of yuan at most. I wouldn't even pick it up if it was dropped on the ground," said Cao Shujie.

The others curled their lips when they heard this.

I knew it was like this. What Cao Shujie considered worthless was not the same concept as theirs.

But Cao Shujie didn't care about these things. He continued to ask Cao Shuli: "Sister, please continue."

Cao Shuli continued speaking along the lines of what Cao Shujie had just said.

She wanted the entire village of Caojiazhuang to learn about the Three Kingdoms culture, especially to look for handicrafts that clearly showed the culture of the Three Kingdoms period.

In addition to those who set up stalls in Caojiazhuang, there are actually some people who are idle at home. We can gather these people together, let them learn to make simple handicrafts, and organize a market with the theme of promoting historical culture and folk culture.

Cao Shuli only said this one thing and Cao Shujie started applauding.

Although it is the same thing, compared with the previous statement, this one is much fresher and more likely to attract people.

Of course, this is not yet to the extent that a theme market can attract people from other places, but everything has a beginning, just like Caojiazhuang did not have a tourism economy before. It was also Cao Shujie who started by planting orchards, and little by little attracted people from other places to pick kiwis and apples from his orchards. It took several years to accumulate to the present, and this is how Caojiazhuang has its current tourism economy.

"Shuli, I'm leaving this matter to you. Do you have confidence?" Cao Shujie asked her again.

Cao Shuli nodded without thinking: "Brother Jie, I have confidence."

She said it very simply.

No matter whether it works or not, hypnotize yourself first, otherwise why would others believe you?

Cao Shujie believed what she said: "That's it, you take some time to complete the entry procedures."

"But let's be frank first. I will also assess this. If you fail to meet the requirements, I will adjust your work later." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Shuli hummed twice: "Brother Jie, don't worry. If I can't do it, I won't be able to stay here."

This matter has been settled.

Cao Jianlong was so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands, and his wife Zhuang Yonghua was also at a loss.

Lu Ping and the others were also happy for Cao Shuli.

Gao Changyin also urged Cao Jianlong: "Secretary Jianlong, let's go to dinner. You have to drink a few more glasses tonight."

"Let's go. I've just called Boss Wang. He's arranged a car to pick us up and send us back after dinner." This is what Cao Jianlong said.

Cao Shujie and the others were not polite either.

When he was about to leave, Cao Shujie called his wife Cheng Xiaolin and told her that Cao Jianlong was going to treat him to dinner that evening and asked her not to wait for him for dinner.

"Shujie, drink less." Cheng Xiaolin said to him.

Cheng Xiaolin knew her husband's temper too well. If she said less, her husband might have to drink a few more glasses.

It’s okay to drink alcohol, but it’s not okay to drink without moderation.

Cao Shujie naturally agreed and said that he would definitely not get drunk.

……

When he was sent back by the car of Fuxing Hotel in the evening, he was not drunk.

Only Cao Jianlong and Gao Changyin were drunk, the others didn't drink much.

Cao Jianlong was happy because Cao Shujie helped him to get this done, so he drank a few more glasses of wine.

Gao Changyin can't drink much. He gets drunk easily after drinking, but he loves drinking.

When Cao Shujie got home, he told his wife about Cao Jianlong's daughter. Cheng Xiaolin asked, "Why did you want to start this market?"

"Promote it. Hold it two more times. Even if Caojiazhuang doesn't have these historical and cultural heritages, people will believe it. Also, when the time comes, you can go there and shoot some videos to promote it." Cao Shujie said to his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin felt that this was indeed a selling point, but she always felt that her husband was too optimistic and that this matter was not that easy to handle.

Cao Shujie told him: "Don't expect to make everything grand and high-profile right from the start, and don't expect to do it on a large scale right from the start."

"Think about how many people there were every day when we first started picking kiwis?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin still remembers it. She said: "I remember that there were several hundred people a day, and sometimes more than 1000. Then one day, to people suddenly came, and we couldn't accommodate them."

It is not like now that it has stabilized, with tens of thousands of visitors every day and more than 100,000 visitors on Saturdays and weekends. Such a huge flow of customers not only makes them a lot of money, but also allows the people of Caojiazhuang to make a lot of money by setting up stalls and trading.

"So, take it slow." This is what Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't believe it and always felt that her husband's mind was not that simple, but Cheng Xiaolin didn't ask any more questions.

The next day, Cao Jianlong took his daughter Cao Shuli to the city to quit their jobs.

His daughter's event planning job was not an important position in itself, earning 2000 yuan a month, and was just a small role. Her resignation went smoothly, and she was even exempted from the job handover.

After going to the dormitory to pick up their personal belongings, the father and daughter rushed back to Caojiazhuang together.

On the third day, Cao Shuli started working at a newly established travel company in Caojiazhuang. The office was still under renovation and there was no fixed office location for the time being.

There are actually a few people like Cao Shuli, all of whom were recruited by Caojiazhuang Tourism Company. (End of this chapter)
