The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Zhu Lingyun once publicly stated that the nutrient solution is a good product, and what he meant implicitly was that Xuemeng Food Factory is a good company.

Moreover, Zhu Lingyun and Cao Shujie have known each other for a long time and have been very familiar with each other for many years.

And I heard that when Cao Shujie's sister got married, Zhu Lingyun personally went to congratulate her. The more seemingly insignificant things like this happen, the more it shows that their relationship is closer.

This also makes those who have ideas about Cao Shujie always more cautious.

So in a small place like Pingyuan County, Cao Shujie said there would be no problem at all in walking sideways.

At the end of the call, Xia Zhenjiang also expressed his desire to meet with Cao Shujie and have a face-to-face chat.

Cao Shujie also expressed this idea. He also told Xia Zhenjiang to invite Liu Furong to join them, so that this could be considered a private gathering between them.

Xia Zhenjiang thought it was okay. He thought it was good this way. The fewer people there were and the more familiar they were with each other, the more relaxed they could chat without having to worry about anything.

Besides, Liu Furong was once his old partner and was promoted by him.

Liu Furong was able to retire to the second line at this time and also have his retirement benefits increased by one level. Xia Zhenjiang played an irreplaceable role in this.

The last time the county asked Cao Shujie to borrow money, the news did not spread, but this time, no one knew who deliberately spread it.

But even so, everyone would at most spread the matter in private, and they did not dare to discuss it openly.

After all, they all know what's going on and they all know why the county does this. To put it bluntly, it's because the county has no money and has no choice but to do so.

After ending the call with Xia Zhenjiang, Cao Shujie talked about this matter with his wife. When Cheng Xiaolin heard her husband say that the county was looking for their family to borrow money again, she started to mutter and curse.

After Cheng Xiaolin finished scolding and felt better, Cao Shujie told her: "Those idiots are still spending money as before. They have never thought about how difficult the world is now, and how difficult it is to find a way to make some money."

Cao Shujie was no longer able to complain about this.

After listening to what her husband said, Cheng Xiaolin roughly understood what was going on. Because of this, Cheng Xiaolin felt that cursing people was a waste of saliva.

But she found it incredible, why didn’t those people learn any better?

"Are they still using shares to exchange money with you?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her husband.

Cao Shujie nodded: "Yes, you are still prepared to exchange your shares with me."

"Then which company's shares did they get? Could it be the shares of the flour mill and the steel ball factory?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her husband. When she saw her husband nod, Cheng Xiaolin felt incredible. She said to her husband: "Did those who sold assets in the past and turned public property into their own property also operate in this way?"

Despite asking this, Cheng Xiaolin already had the answer in her mind. She even felt that it might not be that simple, and there was probably something she didn't know.

Cao Shujie was too lazy to explore these things. He just had to do his own thing.

"You can handle it yourself. I can't help you with these things, but you should also be more careful and don't let them cheat you." Cheng Xiaolin advised her husband.

She told her husband: "Most of those people are scammers."

Cao Shujie also knew this, so he was very alert about this matter.

After agreeing on a meeting time and place with Liu Furong and Xia Zhenjiang, Cao Shujie went there first.

However, Cao Shujie did not expect that Liu Furong had arrived before him and had already ordered the dishes and was waiting for them.

It’s simple, but it has everything: chicken and fish.

In addition, there are 4 green vegetables, as well as Pingyuan County's unique braised donkey meat and donkey intestines.

After Xia Zhenjiang came over, the three of them had a great time chatting while drinking and eating, but there was one thing: they never talked about anything related to money.

When they were almost done eating, Xia Zhenjiang started nagging about the inaction of Duan Yudong and Bian Shixue, who indulged their subordinates in spending money without any bottom line.

Cao Shujie just took it all as a joke and did not express any opinion on the matter. In fact, it was not his business. He was just doing business.

I was lucky enough to make some money, and I was also lucky enough to meet some friends in the process of doing business. Some of them were quite easy to talk to, and we all had similar interests or the same values.

At critical moments, these friends can also provide some help.

"I've already told Duan Yudong and Bian Shixue this time. If this happens again next time, don't call me or look for you."

Speaking of this, Xia Zhenjiang looked at Cao Shujie and said, "Boss Cao, if anyone comes to you, ignore him."

"That's definitely the case." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

"Comrade Zhenjiang, let's have another drink." Cao Shujie raised his glass and drank another one with Xia Zhenjiang.

In fact, having reached their current situation, people like Liu Furong no longer have much hope for the future.

It wouldn't even matter if he just retired now.

But Cao Shujie felt that Xia Zhenjiang might still have some ideas.

He believed that Xia Zhenjiang showed no respect to Duan Yudong and Bian Shixue in his words, and even looked down on them from the bottom of his heart, and he might have been thinking about replacing them.

Then what Xia Zhenjiang said to him just now was somewhat intriguing.

Cao Shujie was also a shrewd guy, he just listened to it for fun and didn't take it to heart. Even when Xia Zhenjiang mentioned the topic twice later, Cao Shujie didn't make any statement.

It was problematic for him to express his opinion on this matter, and Cao Shujie didn't want to get involved in their mess.

In Cao Shujie's view, all the company needs to do is develop steadily.

The family just wants to live a stable life in their hometown, and nothing else matters.

Before they knew it, the three of them had drunk a little too much. Before leaving, Xia Zhenjiang and Liu Furong reminded Cao Shujie to be careful when he returned.

After waiting for Cao Shujie to get in the car and leave, Xia Zhenjiang and Liu Furong stood together, and Xia Zhenjiang said something thought-provoking.

"It seems difficult to ask Cao Shujie for help." Xia Zhenjiang said.

But Liu Furong said, "Secretary Xia, I don't think this matter should be handled in such a roundabout way. You might as well talk to Cao Shujie directly."

But when Xia Zhenjiang opened his mouth, he found it difficult.

Relying on Cao Shujie's relationship, it would be easy to transfer one of Duan Yudong and Bian Shixue, but if both of them were transferred at the same time, Xia Zhenjiang felt that the most likely scenario would be to transfer two more people from other places to make up for the shortage of manpower here.

In this way, Xia Zhenjiang still has no chance of taking the two seats in front.
-
"It's difficult." Xia Zhenjiang sighed.

Liu Furong knew it was difficult.

For him, being a deputy director was the end of his career, but Xia Zhenjiang was too close to removing the word "deputy", only one step away. At this time, it was inevitable for Xia Zhenjiang to have wild thoughts.

But Xia Zhenjiang didn't have enough energy, so he wanted to find someone to help him.

Taking advantage of the fact that the county's finances were in a bit of a mess, Xia Zhenjiang wanted to take this opportunity to ask Cao Shujie for help. However, after he mentioned this matter, Cao Shujie did not respond at all.

This undoubtedly proves that Cao Shujie is not interested in this aspect, and even says that he doesn't want to get involved at all.

But without Cao Shujie's help, Xia Zhenjiang's efforts alone would be useless.

In their line of work, one's own strength is important, but having external force pushing at critical moments is even more important.

Today it seems that it was all in vain.

……

On the way back to Caojiazhuang, Cao Shujie was thinking about having dinner with Xia Zhenjiang, Liu Furong and others tonight.

Liu Furong was no different from what he remembered. Perhaps Liu Furong had really reached the point of retirement. He had lost his "fighting spirit" and was in a completely bad state.

But Xia Zhenjiang is very aggressive.

And you want to move both of the people in front away. How is that possible?

He didn't even think that even if Duan Yudong and Bian Shixue were both gone, would it really be his turn?
"You're still thinking too simply." Cao Shujie shook his head. He felt that Xia Zhenjiang was a little too eager for quick success.

But there is no way to say this, let Xia Zhenjiang decide on his own.

When he got home, Cheng Xiaolin asked him how the meeting and conversation with the two men went. Cao Shujie did not hide it from his wife and told her his guess.

After listening to this, Cheng Xiaolin sighed: "These people are so cunning."

"Well, my wife is right. They should just have fun on their own and not involve us."

Cheng Xiaolin was very happy to hear her husband say this, but she felt that this kind of thing was difficult to talk about.

"What if they want to borrow money? Should we not lend it to them, or should we ask them to exchange it with shares in the flour mill and steel ball factory?" Cheng Xiaolin asked.

Cao Shujie hummed and said, "Wife, remember, this kind of money can't be given for free. If you don't want the things, they can borrow the money successfully this time, and they will come to you again next time, just because they think your purse is loose and it's easy to take the money."

"In the future, they will even ask you for money again and again until you are completely drained of your money," Cao Shujie told his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin seemed to be thinking about something, so this was why her husband had always insisted on exchanging shares for it.

This is normal business dealings.

No one knew who spread the news that the county wanted to contact Cao Shujie to discuss selling the flour mill and steel ball factory shares again, but the news spread more and more widely, and more and more people discussed this matter.

There was no news about it before, but it suddenly spread like wildfire, which makes people wonder.

After Cao Shujie learned about this, he had a playful smile on his face. He seemed to know something, but he didn't say it.

Someone even came to ask him if this was true?
But Cao Shujie still refused to give in.

As a result, it was difficult for them to go to the county to ask anyone, and in the end the matter was left unresolved. However, many smart people in the county began to pay attention to it.

They thought about paying more attention to the developments in the county. Since he asked Cao Shujie to borrow money today, would he ask them next time?
The key point is that the situation is similar across the country now. No one has much fiscal revenue, and it is difficult for everyone.

Businesses are facing a more difficult time these days, so everyone has to keep their heads down and move forward! (End of this chapter)
