The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Before, Cao Xuemeng felt that her father was very disappointed in her, so much so that her father even said that he wanted to pass the family property to her sister.

But when Cao Xuemeng heard what Cao Guijuan said inadvertently just now, she realized in her heart that her father's love for her had not changed at all.

Even if he said something harsh, it might be because he was very disappointed with her behavior.

Lei Xinyi could only feel envy for Sister Mengmeng. She felt that Uncle Cao Shujie was so good to Sister Mengmeng.

The two people paddled the boat slowly in the lake. Cao Xuemeng's mood at this moment was as turbulent as the ripples caused by the boat floating across the water.

This also made Cao Xuemeng rethink a problem. Her father always asked her to take over the job at the Xuemeng Food Factory.

Cao Xuemeng thought it was very interesting when she was young, but as she grew up, she became a little rebellious towards her father's arrangement.

This is why she decided to stay in Beijing to find a job and even start her own business after graduation.

She also had great ambitions in her heart, thinking that her own entrepreneurial project would definitely surpass the empire her father had built over the years.

However, at this moment, Cao Xuemeng was seriously considering whether she should return to Caojiazhuang and enter the Xuemeng Food Factory to study hard and settle down as her father requested, and even take over the burden on her father's shoulders in the later stage, so that he and his mother could have a good rest.

Because of this, Cao Xuemeng began to lose focus on the boat. It was only after Lei Xinyi called her three or four times that Cao Xuemeng came back to her senses.

"Xinyi, what did you just say to me?" Cao Xuemeng asked subconsciously.

Lei Xinyi felt really helpless. It was obvious that Sister Mengmeng was worried and very concerned.

Based on her understanding of Sister Mengmeng, this must not be a matter between a man and a woman. So if Sister Mengmeng still behaves like this, it must have something to do with Uncle Cao.

But Lei Xinyi couldn’t figure out what Sister Mengmeng was thinking about?
She also asked Cao Xuemeng if there was anything she was unsure about.
However, Cao Xuemeng did not tell her much. Taking over the Xuemeng Food Factory was their family's private matter.

Besides, Cao Xuemeng wanted to decide the final result by herself instead of relying on others to choose the result for her. Otherwise, she would never grow.

In fact, speaking of this, Cao Xuemeng suddenly felt a little envious of her brother who could drop out of school and go out for a walk whenever he wanted.

There was no hesitation at all.

In this regard, Cao Xuemeng felt that she was not as good as her brother.

The boat they were on belonged to Cao Xuemeng, so there was no such thing as a timer.

Two people were paddling the boat slowly in the lake, moving forward with the current.

Sometimes they would stop on the lake, letting the boat drift with the waves while the two of them chat.

Lei Xinyi also asked Sister Mengmeng why Aunt Cheng was chasing her just now?
"You are talking about my mother. I just said a few words to her and she was not convinced. She caught up with me and wanted to beat me up." This is what Cao Xuemeng said.

However, when she thought about the conversation with her mother just now, Cao Xuemeng felt quite proud and felt that she had made her mother lose face. Otherwise, would her mother be so angry and chase her to beat her?
Lei Xinyi couldn't figure out what was going on, but seeing that Sister Mengmeng didn't want to say anything, Lei Xinyi didn't ask any more questions. They played in the lake for more than an hour before going ashore.

Then I went to play other projects.

Although she had privileges when boating, Cao Xuemeng did not take advantage of her privilege as Cao Shujie's daughter for any other paid or free activities. Instead, she and Lei Xinyi lined up slowly like other tourists, enjoying the leisure and happiness of playing.

Don't just play for the sake of playing.

After coming out of the park, Cao Xuemeng took Lei Xinyi and walked east together, preparing to go home first to see if her mother had calmed down.

When passing by his grandma and grandpa's stall, Cao Xueming took the initiative to go over to greet them and chat.

Seeing that their business was doing well, Cao Xuemeng was happy for the two elders.

When leaving here and heading home, Lei Xinyi was a little puzzled and asked Cao Xuemeng: "Sister Mengmeng, why did your grandma and grandpa come to Caojiazhuang to set up a stall? Are you from the same place?"

Cao Xuemeng shook her head.

Thinking that there was nothing to keep secret about this matter, she talked about some "old stories", but she was not clear about the detailed reasons.

Cao Xuemeng only selectively told Lei Xinyi about what happened back then.

Lei Xinyi was helpless when she heard that there was such a complicated story.

I also told Cao Xuemeng about the unpleasant incident that happened when she went back to her hometown with her parents.

In fact, Cao Xuemeng also understands that every family has its own difficulties. This kind of thing will not disappear just because you have money. On the contrary, too much money will make people more likely to worry about it. Even if the money has nothing to do with other people, there will always be people who think that they should have a share of it, which is very annoying.

When they arrived at the door of their house, Cao Xuemeng and Lei Xinyi saw several cars parked there. Judging from the license plates, these cars should be buses, and the owners were relatively powerful.

Lei Xinyi was still muttering that an important guest had come to Sister Mengmeng's house. Cao Xuemeng didn't know who was coming, so the two of them walked home together, and this time no one stopped them.

When she arrived home, Cao Xuemeng saw her father chatting with a middle-aged man.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and seemed to have a close relationship.

However, based on Cao Xuemeng's own shallow understanding of human nature, she always felt that her father's smile was a bit fake.

As for the specific situation, with Cao Xuemeng's current poor social experience, it is difficult for him to figure out what the problem is.

When Cheng Xiaolin saw them coming back, she carried her daughter Nuannuan upstairs, and at the same time called her eldest daughter and Lei Xinyi to go upstairs together.

Lu Gucheng, who was chatting with Cao Shujie, saw Cao Xuemeng and Lei Xinyi, and he was also curious about who they were.

Cao Shujie said openly: "The tall one is my eldest daughter, and the other one is Lei Jun's daughter."

"Lei Jun? Which Lei Jun?" Lu Gucheng couldn't figure it out.

Then Cao Shujie was heard saying: "Who else could it be? Isn't there only one Lei Jun in China?"

As for those people in the public who have the same name as Lei Jun, they are definitely not within the scope of Cao Shujie's discussion.

Lu Gucheng was very surprised to hear the result. He didn't expect that Lei Jun's daughter would come to Cao Shujie's house to play, and seeing how intimate the two girls were just now, it was obvious that their relationship was extraordinary.

This also reminded Lu Gucheng of some news he heard from other people when he first came to Yiling City.

For example, Cao Shujie has a strong background and complex personal connections, especially in the business field, where he has many important partners.

Originally, Lu Gucheng was skeptical about these comments, but today, seeing that Lei Jun's daughter and Cao Shujie's daughter had such a good relationship, some of the rumors he had heard were actually confirmed in his mind.

……

On the second floor, Cheng Xiaolin handed her younger daughter Nuannuan to her older daughter Cao Xuemeng to look after.

"Mom, why do you let me look after the child? I don't have that much patience. What if Nuannuan accidentally falls?" Cao Xuemeng said.

While she was talking, Nuannuan looked at her elder sister warily, feeling that it was too dangerous.

But Cheng Xiaolin didn't care at all. She even told her daughter: "Mengmeng, just think of this as practicing babysitting in advance. When you have your own children in the future, you will have experience in babysitting, right?"

Cao Xuemeng looked at her mother with strange eyes. This time, Cao Xuemeng was 80% sure that her mother was seeking revenge for what happened in the morning.

I really didn't expect her mother to be so petty. "Mom, I didn't provoke you, so let it be." Cao Xuemeng surrendered.

But Cheng Xiaolin is not so easy to mess with: "You said you would surrender? I will teach you a lesson today."

There was chaos and commotion afterwards, but after things calmed down, the four women, three adults and one child, had a lot of fun on the second floor.

Cao Xuemeng thought about some things about design and asked her mother some professional questions about advertising design.

Cheng Xiaolin started making short videos in 11, and even did some video editing work herself.

Because of this, Cheng Xiaolin has a good foundation in design.

Having finally come back, Cao Xuemeng naturally wanted to take this opportunity to learn some skills from her mother.

But Cheng Xiaolin also mentioned something.

In his words, people who make short videos or self-media are a bit unlucky now, because the economic situation was not good in the past few years, and there were fewer sponsors for advertising, so these self-media things are not profitable.

But even she couldn't understand how an industry could go from being extremely profitable to suddenly losing money, and even how all the people working in the industry went bankrupt, leaving only a few big bloggers with a solid fan base still alive.

All these things were accomplished in a very short time, which she found incredible.

But it is obvious that the golden age for these self-media people has passed, and they can no longer make money as easily as before.

Like now, it’s too difficult to make some money.

Lu Gucheng left.

When he left, he was still worried.

I can’t figure out what the relationship between Cao Shujie and Lei Jun is?
However, due to his unexpected discovery, Lu Gucheng realized that Cao Shujie was a person who hid deeper than some of the information he had heard.

This further strengthened Lu Gucheng's idea of ​​​​avoiding Cao Shujie in the future.

He felt that if there was anything that really needed Cao Shujie's help, it would be better to just leave it to Zhu Lingyun.

After all, Zhu Lingyun is now the top leader of Yiling City.

Before coming here, Lu Gucheng also heard that Zhu Lingyun and Cao Shujie had a very close relationship.

For a moment, Lu Gucheng actually regretted coming to Yiling City to work, but people in their line of work had no right to make their own choices, so it was too late for Lu Gucheng to regret it.

Cao Xuemeng and Lei Xinyi played in Caojiazhuang for three days before they packed their luggage and returned to the capital under the reluctant gaze of Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo.

Cao Xuemeng thought that her father would say something when they left this time, but Cao Xuemeng was wrong.

Until she and Lei Xinyi got in the car, Wu Shangying started the car and slowly left Caojiazhuang, Cao Shujie did not say anything to keep her.

Instead, he reminded his daughter to be careful when going out.

He also told his daughter that if she had any problems that she couldn't solve, she should call Uncle Lei Jun and not be afraid to trouble him.

This made Lei Xinyi feel quite interesting after hearing it nearby.

From the tone of Uncle Cao Shujie's voice, we can tell that he should have a good relationship with his father Lei Jun.

……

After Cao Xuemeng and Lei Xinyi left, Cao Shujie stood at the door of his house, looking in the direction where his daughter's car disappeared, and did not rush in.

Cheng Xiaolin was holding her little daughter Nuannuan and accompanying him.

Cheng Xiaolin also asked her husband: "Why didn't you try to keep Mengmeng?"

Cao Shujie didn't say anything. Just when Cheng Xiaolin was about to ask again, she heard Cao Shujie say, "Wife, do you think Mengmeng will listen to me now?"

Cheng Xiaolin thought that was not necessarily the case, Mengmeng might be obedient this time.

But before she could finish her sentence, Cao Shujie continued, "If Mengmeng really thinks it through, she will stay. If Mengmeng still insists on leaving, no matter how much I say, it will be useless."

"Even if I keep her this time and let her go to work at Xuemeng Food Factory according to my idea, she will be reluctant and it will backfire in the end. There is no need for that." After saying this, Cao Shujie turned around and went home.

Cheng Xiaolin feels that her husband is becoming more and more wise.

A bit like the wise man in the book who has everything under control.

"Hurry up, aren't you cold outside?" Cao Shujie stopped at the door and waited for his wife.

Only then did Cheng Xiaolin chase after him, holding her daughter in her arms.

It's still warm inside.

Although it is spring, the temperature still feels a bit low.

In addition, Cao Xuemeng and Lei Xinyi left a little early today, so the temperature was only around 10 degrees at this point.

……

Wu Shangying was driving, Cao Xuemeng and Lei Xinyi were sitting in the back seat. They were discussing going shopping after arriving in Beijing.

These days, they have been eating all kinds of delicious food at home that are rarely seen outside, so much so that they have no interest in going out to eat.

But the seasons are about to change, and the two feel that they should prepare some seasonal clothes in advance.

Every time I open my closet, I always feel like there are two suitable pieces of clothing missing.

We chatted on the way and occasionally stopped at a service area to rest for a while.

We returned to the capital at around 3 pm.

At this time, Cao Xuemeng and Lei Xinyi were still discussing which mall to go to, and they didn't feel tired at all.

But then again, the people who were driving were Wu Shangying and Guan Shuangxia, so Cao Xuemeng and Lei Xinyi were not really tired.

The next day, both of them returned to their normal lives and routines. Lei Xinyi went back to school, and Cao Xuemeng returned to the Three Musketeers Design Studio and continued to work on her own things.

Perhaps it was because of this return to Caojiazhuang that she had some psychological settlement and changes in her thinking, so that when Cao Xuemeng came back to work, she suddenly felt that some business operations could be carried out with ease, without being restricted in every way as before.

In addition to busy work, Cao Xuemeng is also considering whether to return to Caojiazhuang to work at the Xuemeng Food Factory.

In fact, Cao Xuemeng already had the answer in her mind.

She was thinking that after she finished working outside this year, she would find a professional manager to take charge of the work of the Three Musketeers Design Studio, or call her brother and ask him to hurry back to take up the banner of the Three Musketeers Design Studio. She would then rush back to Caojiazhuang to take charge of the Xuemeng Food Factory.

To put it simply, Cao Xuemeng will eventually become the queen, this is her destiny!
From the perspective of the Three Musketeers Design Studio itself, the scope of its business is very narrow and it cannot meet her psychological expectations at all. (End of this chapter)
