The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Cao Shujie was too lazy to speak.

It turns out that it's not just one or two people, but a whole group of childhood friends are having difficulties outside.

Several people complained in the group, and in the end, Cao Tiemin said as if he was swearing, "I will transfer the company tomorrow and see if there is anyone willing to take it over. After I transfer the company, I will go back to the village to have a drink with you, Shujie."

"Come back. Even if the company hasn't been transferred out, we can still need a bottle of wine." Cao Shujie said.

"I'm going to resign tomorrow, Shujie. I heard that the village will be holding an election for the village committee soon. Are you short of people to do propaganda? How about I go back and do this job?" Cao Fei asked proactively.

He is determined to resign and come back.

Cao Shujie was overjoyed: "The village committee doesn't have this job, but the travel company will definitely keep a position for you. Just tell me whether you will come back or not?"

"Yes, I will submit my resignation tomorrow, but it will take about a week to hand over my work, so I have to sell my house. If I'm quick, maybe I can make it in time to participate in the village election." This is what Cao Fei said.

Cao Zhen thought for a while and said, "I'll try for another half a year. If it doesn't work out, I won't stay here any longer. I can't just waste my time here and spend all the money I earn in the village."

Cao Shujie sneered at him. This guy said he would compensate the money, but he was still hesitant in his heart. It must be because he was sad that he hadn't compensated yet.

Deep down, Cao Shujie hopes that his childhood friends will have a better life out there.

But if they really can't make it outside, returning to Caojiazhuang is a backup plan, and a big one at that.

Cao Shujie wanted to continue chatting with them for a while, but Xu Qingming had already called him.

After the call was connected, Cao Shujie heard Xu Qingming say that he would come to visit him this afternoon, and he told Xu Qingming that he was waiting for him in Caojiazhuang.

After hanging up the phone, Cao Shujie saw that the group of childhood friends had become silent.

However, Cao Tiemin also left a message in the group, asking Cao Shujie to prepare some wine for him, saying that he would be back in a few days.

Cao Shujie also replied to him in the group chat: "Waiting for you anytime."

To be honest, Cao Tiemin's decoration company is not a serious one. At the most, there were more than 30 people working for him. However, as the business volume decreased, the decoration company could not make money, and no one could make money. Gradually, some people could not stand it and left. Now there are only a dozen people working for him.

It is indeed as Cao Tiemin himself said, he is also struggling to hold on now, but there is no other way. If the business picks up in the future, they will definitely have to find people to do the work.

This is why many companies would rather spend money to support a group of employees even when they are losing money.

But Cao Tiemin didn't expect that this time it would be so difficult. The environment has been getting worse and worse for two consecutive years, and he really can't hold it anymore.

……

As for the matters concerning his childhood friends, Cao Shujie did not tell anyone else, not even his wife.

Thinking that Xu Qingming had just called to say he was coming to visit him, Cao Shujie did not go out but waited patiently at home.

It was not until after 3 o'clock in the afternoon that Xu Qingming came over.

He also brought a lot of things to Cao Shujie, which looked very valuable.

"Why are you so polite, Mr. Xu?" Cao Shujie walked up to him, shook hands with him, and invited him to sit down inside.

Xu Qingming couldn't remember how many times he had been to Cao Shujie's house, but every time he came, Xu Qingming was envious. Cao Shujie had been living in the countryside, which was a truly free life.

Coupled with the entire garden-style country villa in Caojiazhuang, Xu Qingming even wanted to get a suite in Caojiazhuang.

It’s a pity that it’s impossible to get it now. At this stage, residential land is no longer allocated, and no one is willing to move out even if you pay more.

The two sat down and drank tea. Cao Shujie asked him, "Mr. Xu, what's the hurry?"

"About beef." Xu Qingming said.

Cao Shujie took it very seriously when he heard this, and he waited for Xu Qingming to say the next words.

Then Xu Qingming continued, "Aren't all beef cattle prices going up now? Fat ones can be sold for more than 14 yuan, but the beef cattle from our Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative are a little worse. I can't give you that price. But don't worry, Secretary Cao. We'll still go with 5 yuan, and I'll add an extra 13 yuan."

Xu Qingming cares a lot about this matter. Now the price of beef cattle in the market is divided into two categories. One is the more ordinary one, which is still 13 yuan per pound.

There is also a fatter kind that can be sold for 14 yuan per pound.

There is a huge difference between the two prices, and this difference mainly starts from the calf.

In other words, the quality of Caojiazhuang's beef calves is still slightly inferior to some high-quality breeds on the market.

But this is understandable, Cao Shujie knew it from the beginning.

After all, the calves they bought were several thousand dollars cheaper than the more expensive calves on the market.

In addition to this incident, Xu Qingming also told Cao Shujie that he still hoped that Cao Shujie could expand his breeding scale.

The quality of the meat raised by Cao Shujie himself is much better than that of the beef raised by the breeding cooperative, and it is top-notch.

However, Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative is unable to make such a large investment as Cao Shujie.

What also annoyed Xu Qingming was that Cao Shujie never expanded the scale in recent years. He felt that Cao Shujie simply had a problem with money.

But after talking today, Cao Shujie was still smiling and didn't mention this matter.

Cao Shujie's breeding farm has been at its current scale since seven or eight years ago. He has never expanded it since then, and Cao Shujie is not planning to expand it at this stage either.

One reason was that he couldn’t find the place, and the other was that he had everything he needed now and didn’t want to make himself so tired.

After so many years, Cao Shujie finally understood that it was time to take a break.

Xu Qingming knew at a glance that he couldn't persuade Cao Shujie, so he simply stopped trying and had a meal at Cao Shujie's place before leaving. It was obvious that Xu Qingming was still a little disappointed.

Because Xu Qingming knew that if Cao Shujie raised more cows, he would make more profit, but Cao Shujie did not listen to his advice.

He had no choice, but fortunately the scale of beef cattle of Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative had increased visibly in the past two years and now had reached about 15000 heads. For him, this was also a considerable profit.

After seeing Xu Qingming off, Cheng Xiaolin asked her husband how the conversation went with Mr. Xu.

"What else can I do? Mr. Xu advised me to raise more cows so that I can earn more money." Cao Shujie said to his wife with a smile.

Cheng Xiaolin said: "Then why don't you raise more?"

"What's good about that? Don't you think everything is good now? I was thinking of taking you out to play for a while after the village committee election." Cao Shujie said.

They have been going out very frequently in recent years. Whenever they have time, Cao Shujie will take his family out.

How many people envy his life.

When she heard about going out to play, Cheng Xiaolin nodded and agreed.

"Sure, I can go anywhere anyway." Cheng Xiaolin said.

……

The headquarters of Yiling Five Star Department Store.

As soon as he got to work this morning, Cao Fei went to the general manager to discuss his resignation.

After he said that, the general manager didn't seem surprised at all and even asked when Cao Fei would leave.

What are you going to do next?

When he heard Cao Fei frankly say that he wanted to return to Caojiazhuang to retire, even the general manager showed envy in his eyes.

The general manager is also a hired professional manager. To put it bluntly, he is also working here, but his salary is higher.

There used to be profit bonuses, but as operating income has deteriorated in recent years, the profit bonuses are no longer available.

After removing this part, he would only get a high salary of more than 3 yuan, but it would be meaningless for him to work in this position.

Recently, quite a few people from various departments have come to him to apply for resignation, and those who can find him directly to apply for resignation are generally at the supervisor or manager level.

He was also helpless and had no better solution.

In fact, even he was tempted to go for an interview at a state-owned shopping mall, where the salary was higher, but he couldn't tell anyone else about this.

"When will Manager Cao leave?" he asked.

I heard Cao Fei say the sooner the better, but he would stay to complete the work handover.

"Then you should hand over the work to Director Zhang Bin of your department."

Cao Fei agreed.

After coming out of the general manager's office, Cao Fei returned to his own office and called his supervisor Zhang Bin over. He told him that he was going to resign. He also said that he had just gone to the general manager's office to submit his resignation and was ready to hand over his work to him within a week.

This frightened Zhang Bin. He thought the manager was testing him, so he quickly refused.

Fortunately, Cao Fei explained it to him very clearly, and the subsequent work was handed over smoothly.

Upon learning that Cao Fei was leaving, the atmosphere in the entire propaganda department became very depressing.

In fact, they also understand why the manager left. To put it bluntly, even the manager can't make any money, let alone them.

And it is obvious that many people have resigned from the mall in the past two years.

……

Cao Fei had no control over what happened next. After handing over his work, he first announced it to his childhood friends, and then he and his wife packed up their things and returned home.

The property has been put on the market, but it won't be sold in a short time. Cao Fei first sent his wife and children back to Caojiazhuang, while he kept an eye on the situation in the city.

Fortunately, Cao Fei listed the house at a price slightly lower than the surrounding prices and finally sold it before mid-July.

At this time, Cao Fei was a little sad because the price of the house was much lower than the highest price in the previous two years. After he said it in the group, Cao Shulun asked him why he didn't keep the house for his children?

But Cao Fei said, "Maybe I can buy it cheaper in the future."

"Besides, we will go back to Caojiazhuang to develop in the future. There are villas in the village, so who would want to live in a building?"

When Cao Shujie saw what he said, he thought to himself, you have really good vision.

Others may not know, but Cao Shujie knows clearly that house prices will continue to fall in the next two years.

As Cao Fei was about to come back, Cao Shujie called out to the others: "Why don't you all come back for a drink? Let's celebrate for Cao Fei."

"I think it's okay." Cao Zhen joined in the fun.

In fact, he and Cao Fei had already had two drinks together. Cao Zhen admired Cao Fei from the bottom of his heart for his decisiveness in carrying the things back to Caojiazhuang, and was even a little envious.

He then realized that he couldn't be as carefree as Cao Fei. (End of this chapter)
