Chapter 1547 The Family Status of Middle-Aged Men

When Shan Shengwen came out of Li Ye's office, he was a little dazed.

Because Li Ye had talked to him for twenty minutes and hadn't said anything like "I recommended you to come to Beijing," Shan Shengwen was even more convinced that his trip to Beijing was related to Li Ye.

Because Li Ye knew his resume very well, from technician to workshop director to technical factory manager all the way to where he is now, Li Ye could talk to him about all the achievements he made and the projects he was in charge of.

Shan Shengwen was shocked because although this information was in his file, it was all old news and would be impossible to find without carefully reviewing the file. But who would bother to go through his file?
At least Shang Bin wouldn't. All Shang Bin needs to know is "a petty person fears power but not virtue," and he only needs to consider Shan Shengwen as a "petty person."

Dan Shengwen spent the whole day in a daze, and only found a chance to call his wife after get off work.

"Hey, today is the first day of work, and it's pretty much as I expected. Some people are ostracizing me, and some are recruiting me, but you'd never guess who's recruiting me."

Shan Shengwen's wife laughed on the other end of the phone and said, "I can't guess? Is it that Li Ye?"

"."

Shan Shengwen asked in surprise, "How did you guess that?"

Shan Shengwen's wife calmly said, "Because of the different work styles in our units, the people that Dong Shan brought from Beijing have already started working these past few days, and some of them are completely different from Shang Bin and his group."
They value efficiency highly and have a strong dislike for sycophants. They only look at what you do, not what you say, and they highly value talent.
I've inquired carefully, and they were all influenced by the No. 1 Factory. Wasn't the No. 1 Factory started by Li Ye?

"Besides, Lao Dan, you haven't been valued by Shang Bin all these years, so going to the capital is clearly not his idea. Therefore, the only people who can recruit you are probably from Li Ye's side, right?"

Shan Shengwen remained silent.

It's truly shameful that my wife can be so "clear-sighted" from the sidelines.

After a while, Shan Shengwen told his wife that he could "bring his family."

"Honey, they said that if you're willing to come, they can arrange for you to work at that branch factory. I asked my colleagues in the office, and the salary isn't bad, plus you'll get housing."

Upon hearing this, Shan Shengwen's wife immediately became happy: "Let me go to Beijing? That's great! But is it just me going to Beijing alone? Can our son make some arrangements?"

Shan Shengwen laughed angrily: "You're pushing your luck! Every year so many college students want to stay in Beijing, and you're not satisfied with just coming here yourself, you want to bring your son along too?"

Shan Shengwen's wife was a little embarrassed, but still said, "You haven't chosen sides yet, so they're giving you a little something to sweeten things up."
So, should we take advantage of your current high demand and get our son a job? We can't afford to be separated as a family, can we? Otherwise, if I want to see my grandson, I'll have to take a three-day, three-night train ride.”

"No, no, you mean you want to bring your daughter-in-law over too? That's pushing your luck, that's insatiable. You know me; if I were that kind of person, I'd be in jail this time too."

Shan Shengwen decisively shattered his wife's "delusions." Over the years, he would not say he was completely selfless, but he would never excessively seek improper benefits for his family. Otherwise, he would not have been disliked by Shang Bin and his ilk because of his unsociable nature.

"Ah~"

Shan Shengwen's wife sighed and said helplessly, "That's true. If you really got any benefits from the government, you wouldn't be able to sleep at night."
"Maybe I shouldn't go to the capital! You can work in the capital for another ten years and then come back. Just be patient and don't mess around."

"I'll put up with you."

Shan Shengwen was so angry he almost cursed. He was almost fifty years old; did he still need his wife's comforting words?

But it really doesn't feel right without my wife by my side!
So Shan Shengwen said with dissatisfaction, "You only care about your son and grandson, but don't you care about me? I'm all alone in the capital, surrounded by enemies. Aren't you afraid that I'll get so upset that I'll have a heart attack?"

But Shan Shengwen had barely uttered a few complaints when he was met with a fierce counterattack. "You've been feeling this way for so many years, why haven't you developed any heart problems?"

"You're in your forties or fifties, do you still need someone to pamper you? Why don't you find a young girl to take care of you?"

"."

Dan Shengwen immediately felt a headache coming on and could only weakly say, "I haven't had much of an appetite lately, and I need someone to take care of me."

"No one will wait on you. If you're hungry, eat in the cafeteria. If you don't like the cafeteria food, eat out. Anyway, the family doesn't rely on your salary to make ends meet. As long as you don't mess around, you can eat out every day and still not spend all your money. You simply won't spend it all."

"I"

Shan Shengwen really didn't have the energy to refute anymore. It was true that his wife was caring and considerate, but she was also really good with words. He could never win an argument with her.

Thinking about myself, the pillar of my family, I've worked diligently for half my life, getting my son married and my daughter a dowry. I've certainly made a lot of contributions.
In the end, her status in the family was the lowest. Can you believe how wronged she felt? Can you believe how miserable she was?
[Forget it, I'll ask Li Ye tomorrow to recommend a authentic Sichuan restaurant. I'm going to eat out and have some fun.]

Shan Shengwen could only be thankful that his wife didn't make him hand over his salary, otherwise he really would have to eat in the cafeteria every day.

However, the next day after Shan Shengwen went to work, he received a call from the light vehicle company.

"Hello, Director Shan? This is Lu Zhizhang. Yesterday, Deputy General Manager Li explained the transfer of your family member to me, but after reviewing the submitted documents, some information is incomplete! Besides your spouse, you also have children, right?"

Shan Shengwen knew that Lu Zhizhang was the current "person in charge" of the light vehicle company. He originally wanted to refuse after receiving the call, saying that his wife was not coming to Beijing. However, upon hearing this, he immediately became uneasy.

I have one son and two daughters.

When Shan Shengwen said those words, he felt his face burning. He had never been so "greedy" in his life.

But Lu Zhizhang on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "Okay, okay, but your son and daughter's jobs and household registration are easy to solve. Your daughter-in-law and son-in-law don't quite meet the standards, so we can only arrange jobs for them first, and then resolve the issue when a more suitable opportunity arises."

"But please rest assured, Director Shan, your family's normal life will not be affected. We have connections at the school, and your child's schooling will not be disrupted. I hope you can understand."

Shan Shengwen couldn't help but swallow hard, and said with a wry smile, "If I still don't understand, then I'm truly ungrateful. When do you have time? I must thank you in person."

"Why don't you come over for lunch today? The stir-fries in our cafeteria are really good."

"Okay, okay, I'll go there in a bit."

After hanging up the phone, Shan Shengwen felt refreshed and invigorated.

What kind of work environment is this? What kind of attitude is this? No wonder they've become so successful!
Talented people all have tempers. If you treat me like a slave, should I treat you like an enemy?
After thinking for a moment, Shan Shengwen decided to call his wife right now.

Because he was afraid of being overheard, he waited until he got off work and no one was around to call his wife yesterday, but today he was determined to let those people hear him.

Since you've decided to accept their kindness, why hide it from them?
Shan Shengwen never does anything like taking advantage of someone and then acting innocent.
