After the divorce, I inherited the property in the game.

Chapter 468 Chapter 496, People in middle age are worse than dogs (asking for monthly tickets)

After hearing what Kang Huifen said, Li Mansu frowned and had a bad feeling in her heart.

It is indeed very likely that it was his mother Kang Huizhi who told Yang Hao about his grandfather's birthday, but Li Mansu felt that her mother's purpose might not be to facilitate her and Yang Hao's remarriage.

Because my parents have already expressed their support for my younger sister Li Manni!
Outsiders don’t know the inside story of her and Yang Hao’s divorce, but her parents know it.

Therefore, her father Li Baojun and her mother Kang Huizhi both stood on Yang Hao's side when it came to her divorce from Yang Hao.

With this premise, it is impossible that mother Kang Huizhi notified Yang Hao to attend grandfather's birthday party in order to match herself and Yang Hao to remarry, otherwise she would have told her on the way.

Thinking of this, Li Mansu's face became even uglier.

He didn't try to match her up with Yang Hao to remarry, but Yang Hao still attended his grandfather's birthday party as a son-in-law, which made it clear that he wanted to announce his relationship with his sister Li Manni among all the relatives!

this.
Thinking of this, Li Mansu's face suddenly turned pale and her body couldn't help but tremble.

Once the news is announced among her relatives, she will become a laughing stock.

"Manshu, what's wrong with you?"

"You were fine just now, why did your face suddenly change?"

Kang Huimin noticed Li Manshu's abnormal condition at the first time. She subconsciously reached out to pull Li Manshu, but found that her palms were covered with cold sweat.

"Manshu, what's wrong with you?"

Kang Huimin immediately asked worriedly, she was still counting on her niece to rely on her, and she hoped she wouldn't fall ill at this critical moment.

"nothing."

"I feel a little dizzy all of a sudden. I'll be fine after I calm down."

Li Manshu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Although she roughly guessed the purpose of Yang Hao's visit, she still wanted to struggle. After all, she was the legal ex-wife, and her relatives all felt that there was a possibility that she and Yang Hao could remarry.

Well, she could make use of "public opinion".

"I must be carsick!"

"Have some tea and take a rest."

As she spoke, Kang Huimin went to pour a cup of tea for Li Manshu.

"Thank you, second aunt!"

Li Mansu took the tea and drank it while thinking about how to deal with what was about to happen next.

Although she knew that the development of the situation might be unfavorable to her, Li Mansu believed that this was also an opportunity. At least she could meet Yang Hao.

As the saying goes, "When you meet someone, you fall in love!"
After all, they are husband and wife, and Li Mansu had tried to arrange a meeting with Yang Hao several times before but failed.

No matter what, I can see him in person this time.

"Manshu, why don't you go to the bedroom and rest for a while!"

Seeing that Li Manshu was not in a good state, Kang Huifen also came over to show her courtesy.

"That's not necessary. It's much better."

After drinking some tea to calm herself down, Li Mansu felt much better indeed.

"That's good."

Kang Huifen nodded with a smile and asked, "Manshu, what kind of job do you do now?"

“In a design company.”

When talking about her workplace, a complex look flashed across Li Mansu's eyes involuntarily.

Right now, Yang Hao is the big boss of the company where she works.

However, after acquiring Inspiration Advertising, Yang Hao became a hands-off boss and only visited the company once, as if the company did not exist.

At first, Li Manshu was wondering whether Yang Hao would use his work as an opportunity to retaliate against her, but it turned out that she was overthinking it. The company's leaders seemed to be unaware of her relationship with Yang Hao, and no one treated her differently. That's why Li Manshu did not resign.

“The design company is great!”

"If I remember correctly, Manshu, your major in college was design, right?"

After finding a topic, Kang Huifen immediately pulled Li Manshu aside to start chatting.

Seeing this, Kang Huimin took her cell phone and quietly went to the balcony, then found the number of the person nicknamed "Xiaofeng" in the address book and dialed it.

"Mom, why are you calling at this time? I'm at work!"

The call was connected quickly, but the voice coming through sounded a little impatient.

"Xiaofeng, isn't tomorrow your grandfather's 80th birthday?"

"Didn't you say you can't go back?"

"Pack a red envelope for grandpa for me!"

Kang Huimin was interrupted by her son Zhao Xiaofeng before she could finish her words: "Nothing else, I'm hanging up first!"

Toot toot.
Before Kang Huimin could speak again, a series of busy tones rang out on the phone.

This kid!!

Kang Huimin stomped her feet in anger, but this was her son after all, and she had no choice. She took a deep breath and patiently dialed the phone again.

This time the phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

"what happened again?"

"I'm busy here!"

Zhao Xiaofeng's voice was even more impatient than last time.

"Xiaofeng, no matter how busy you are, just listen to what I have to say first."

Kang Huimin was afraid that her son would hang up the phone again, so she quickly said something.

"problem occurs?"

"wait for me."

Zhao Xiaofeng's voice became low, accompanied by the sound of moving a chair. He must have realized that his mother had some urgent matter and had to leave his workstation.

When they got to the tea room, Zhao Xiaofeng poured himself a glass of water and then spoke again: "Mom, what happened?"

"You have to come back for your grandpa's 80th birthday!"

"Better come back tonight and buy your tickets now!"

Kang Huimin said in a firm tone.

"Or this?"

Zhao Xiaofeng, who was already sitting on the sofa in the tea room, frowned depressedly. He had told his mother about this matter a week ago and he would not be able to go home because he had to work overtime.

Zhao Xiaofeng works in an Internet company. He is a backbone of the technical department and working overtime is commonplace for him.

Of course, overtime was not the main reason. He just felt that it was not cost-effective to go to Xiangyang City just to attend his grandfather's birthday party.

Not only is this trip a waste of time, but the fare is also hundreds of dollars. It's really unnecessary.

"Manshu's ex-husband will be here soon!"

"You should have heard about his current situation!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I remember that you two had a good relationship before. This time, you can take advantage of grandpa's birthday party to communicate your relationship. Maybe you can switch to his company." Kang Huimin expressed her thoughts, but she spoke in a low voice because she was on the balcony at the moment, and if her voice was too loud, it would easily be heard by people in the living room.

Especially her younger sister Kang Huifen, she didn't want the other party to know her little plan.

"Brother Hao will go?"

Zhao Xiaofeng, who had been nonchalant, suddenly sat up straight. He was 33 years old, older than Li Manshu, so Yang Hao was his brother-in-law.

However, the two are of the same age and can talk to each other during family gatherings during the New Year. In private, they talk about their own things. Because Yang Hao is two years older than Zhao Xiaofeng, he always calls Yang Hao "Brother Hao".

"We'll be there in a minute."

"He is now a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions. If he had just given our family a hand, our family wouldn't be in the current situation."

Kang Huimin lowered her voice again.

"okay, I get it."

Zhao Xiaofeng put down the cup of water in his hand and started to think silently in his mind.

"Don't just know it!"

"No matter how much money you can earn by working overtime, you must come back!!"

Kang Huimin was a little worried about her son. If Yang Hao wasn't coming, she didn't want to make her son go through so much trouble. After all, it was quite far from Shanghai, and it would be time-consuming and costly.

But the current situation is completely different. No matter how much money you spend, you have to get it back. This is an opportunity to change your destiny.

"Okay, I'll go ask for leave now."

Zhao Xiaofeng is 33 years old this year, and his sharp edges have long been smoothed out.

If he had just graduated a few years ago, he would have definitely disdained such an opportunity and silently complained in his heart that his mother Kang Huimin was too snobbish.

But now his thinking is completely different. In this society, ability is only one aspect, and background and connections determine how far you can go.

Of course, this does not apply to those top geniuses in their respective fields.

But how many top talents are there? In real life, 99% of people are ordinary people with average abilities, and 99.99% of jobs can be replaced.

Don’t think that a certain profession or position is very prestigious. It is actually just that kind of thing. If you are really pushed to that position, you may not do worse than the person who is already in that position.

Because of this, there is a saying on the Internet: This world is just a huge makeshift team!

Zhao Xiaofeng has passed the stage of being conceited and has even begun to accept his fate.

So, of course he knew the importance of the message his mother conveyed.

In fact, he has been paying attention to the news about Yang Hao on the Internet these two days. He opened the WeChat chat box with Yang Hao several times to say hello.

But since they hadn't been in contact for a long time, he didn't know what to say, and he was afraid that people would think he was just trying to lick the other person's boots because he saw the other person was successful.

And this time, my grandfather’s 80th birthday is really a very good opportunity.

He can take this opportunity to strengthen his relationship with Yang Hao.

After finishing the call with his mother Kang Huimin, Zhao Xiaofeng took a sip of water from the cup and started thinking about asking for leave. Since Yang Hao would be here soon, he also planned to leave immediately. It would only take two and a half hours to get from Shanghai to Xiangyang City by high-speed rail.

"Xiaofeng, I'm looking for you!"

Just when Zhao Xiaofeng was thinking about how to ask for leave, a man wearing black-framed glasses walked into the tea room. His name was Wu Qiong and he was Zhao Xiaofeng's immediate superior.

"Brother Qiong, what's wrong?"

Zhao Xiaofeng bowed slightly and asked subconsciously.

"Work overtime tonight. The server vulnerability needs to be fixed as soon as possible."

"Then, come early tomorrow and try to fix the vulnerability before noon tomorrow!"

Wu Qiong walked to the coffee machine and said casually while taking the coffee.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaofeng frowned immediately. He was just about to ask for leave.

What happened is I got an order to work overtime.

"Brother Qiong, something happened at home and I was planning to ask you for leave!"

Zhao Xiaofeng said quickly.

"What happened?"

Wu Qiong turned his head and glanced at Zhao Xiaofeng, then said with a stern face: "Xiaofeng, you are now at a critical period of career advancement. I hope you can focus all your energy on work. If there is nothing serious, it is better not to ask for leave."

"Besides, you know the situation in the group. If you ask for leave, the vulnerability will definitely not be fixed before noon tomorrow. I have already signed a military order with Mr. Chen. If you ask for leave now, aren't you pushing me into the fire pit?"

Wu Qiong's attitude is very clear, he just doesn't want to give leave.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaofeng subconsciously clenched his fists. He and Wu Qiong had been working together for a long time and knew each other very well. The reasons he gave seemed reasonable, but they were actually nonsense.

Especially the military order signed with General Manager Chen. This is his usual tactic. He would brag in front of the leader and then let his subordinates work overtime desperately. In the end, the leader would think he is very capable and all the credit would be his.

Workers like Zhao Xiaofeng can only get a little overtime pay.

In order to please his superiors, Wu Qiong would even reduce the overtime hours he worked, and his main goal was to do whatever it takes to please his superiors.

There are people like him in many companies. They lick their leaders with all their might, and exploit their subordinates with all their might!

People like Wu Qiong also have their own theories when it comes to exploiting their subordinates. Those born in the 2000s who have just entered the workplace should not be exploited because they are not easy to use. If he increases the intensity a bit, they will simply quit.

The easiest to exploit are old employees like Zhao Xiaofeng who have reached a certain age and do not have the courage to leave.

They are under great pressure in their daily lives and dare not quit their jobs easily due to their age.

That’s why there is such a saying in the workplace: middle-aged people who have elderly parents and young children to take care of can be scolded at will, and they absolutely dare not resist.

Because they can't afford to lose their jobs!
This is why there is a saying that "people are worse than dogs when they reach middle age."

There are a total of fifteen people in Zhao Xiaofeng's group, and there are four old employees like him who are experienced and technically proficient, and these four have become the main force exploited by Wu Qiong.

For this overtime task, Wu Qiong actually counts on the four of them to lead the charge.

As a result, Zhao Xiaofeng actually asked for leave, and Wu Qiong of course disagreed.

"Brother Qiong, my grandfather will be celebrating his 80th birthday tomorrow. As his grandson, I have to go back to see him. After all, this is the only time he will celebrate his 80th birthday."

After some consideration, Zhao Xiaofeng decided to tell the truth.

"That's it?"

After hearing Zhao Xiaofeng's reasons, Wu Qiong showed a disdainful expression on his face. He took a sip of the American coffee he had just received and said, "Just give the old man a red envelope for his birthday. There is no need to make a special trip, especially when you have work to do!"

"You know the situation in the group well. If you leave, this mission will definitely not be completed before noon tomorrow!"

"Xiaofeng, you know I have always thought highly of you. If I can make further progress, I will definitely recommend you to Mr. Chen to take my place!"

"But the premise is that you have to show your attitude, right? Overtime is also an opportunity for improvement and you have to seize it."

Wu Qiong painted a rosy picture for Zhao Xiaofeng in a calm and steady tone.

The ability to paint a rosy picture is a compulsory course for leaders.

It’s just that Wu Qiong had painted too many rosy pictures for Zhao Xiaofeng, but none of them came true, so Zhao Xiaofeng had long been immune to such rosy pictures.

"Brother Qiong, my grandma and grandpa raised me when I was a child, and my grandpa is not in good health, so I have to be there for the 80th birthday party no matter what!"

"Besides, I never said a word of objection to overtime work every time before. This time, Brother Qiong, please give the opportunity for improvement to other people in the team!"
