Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

"Brother Lu Yang, when I graduate from college, can I also work for you?"

After dinner, seeing Lu Yang was about to leave, Lu Nini came up to him hesitantly.

"Er Ni, you haven't even been admitted to university yet, why are you thinking about your job after college?"

Lu Yang looked at the little cousin in front of him with a smile.

Maybe it's because her elder brother and sister-in-law have praised him too much. Now this little cousin is simply his little fangirl. She hasn't even gone to college yet, but she is already thinking about coming to work for him, the capitalist, after graduating in four years. It seems like she can't wait and is ready to be exploited. Isn't this a little too early?
There is a saying that goes "It is easy to know the hearts of old friends, but it is also easy to change the hearts of old friends."

Lu Yang thought he was just talking nonsense and did not take it seriously. After all, the other party has not started college yet. When he really starts college and goes to a big city, he will see the outside world. For example, if he can really achieve academic success, there will be so many Fortune 500 companies to choose from, and he may not be able to remember what he said today.

Of course, if the other party can really be consistent, I will open the door wide and express my welcome, then train the other party well and give this little cousin a future that she dare not even imagine in this life.

Lu Nini didn't dare to look up at Lu Yang. She held the bottom edge of her clothes with her two pink and slender hands. She lowered her head and said hesitantly, "I...I want...Brother Lu Yang, can you let me follow you temporarily and be your secretary for a few days?"

Why?
Lu Yang thought he had heard wrongly.

Seeing this girl lowering her head and becoming more and more nervous, if she continued rubbing, the edge of her cotton-padded jacket would probably come apart.

So I asked curiously, "What do you think?"

It is true that he is now one less secretary, but it is only temporary. The previous secretary has not resigned yet. As expected, the secretary will finish his work in a few days and then come back to work as his secretary.

That girl is my eldest sister-in-law’s best friend, good classmate, a genuine top student at Peking University, and also my eldest niece. Yes, now she is a real eldest niece.

Who said that he had already slept with her aunt?

A few days ago, Xu Siqi called her boss Lu Yang to complain that her current job was difficult and her mother and third uncle were pestering her all day long. Of course, her mother pestered her, asking her when she would fulfill her promise made years ago to place an advertisement on their provincial TV station, and her third uncle naturally pestered her, asking her when the agreed follow-up investment of 5 million within five years would be in place.

It's ridiculous.

How could she know?

She's just a tool, okay?

So she couldn't stand being pestered anymore, so she called Lu Yang to complain, saying that she didn't want to stay at home for a day. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would be driven crazy by her mother and her third uncle.

Lu Yang had already given her an answer, asking her to hold on for a few more days. At most after the Lantern Festival, he would go to the provincial capital to meet her and bring her, his personal secretary, to discuss a really big deal.

Lu Nini finally mustered up the courage and raised her head, but only took a glance at the older brother next to her.

She lowered her head again, a little discouraged, "My brother said that I am too timid. If I go to college alone, I will be bullied in a strange city. Let me, let me be your secretary for a few days to practice my courage. Seven days, no, three days, just three days will be enough."

There were indeed only a few days left until the end of her winter vacation.

Lu Yang nodded and simply agreed: "Okay then, I'll be in Zhao County for a few days, so you can follow me, Erni. It's good to see the world."

Comfort this little cousin who was almost crying out of nervousness.

Lu Yang looked around, then glared fiercely at the big bear who had just come out of the kitchen with some game in his hands to give to him.

"Hey, Yangzi, take a look. These are all good stuff. My grandfather set up traps last winter, but they were all hit by these stupid guys. You can take them back to your sister-in-law and our little niece to nourish them and have a good snack, hehe."

Da Jun smiled awkwardly, knowing that he was in the wrong.

After saying this, he habitually wanted to reach out and scratch the back of his head.

Lu Yang rolled his eyes at him and said, "You can keep the things for now. I don't have a fire in my villa, so they won't get spoiled or taken away by cats or dogs. It'll be a few days before I have time to go back to the city."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Come on, I won't send them to you. I'll help you hang them in my grandfather's firewood room. I'll take advantage of the time in the next two days and let them pass through a few more wisps of fruit wood smoke. I guarantee that they won't go bad no matter how long you store them. Hehe, they'll taste even better."

Da Junle happily took some game in his hands and turned to go to the firewood house next door.

Lu Yang shook his head.

Who says that reckless men are only reckless? How smart he is, isn't there a time when he is brave and careful? It's not just a pretense to train his courage, it's probably the real intention to let Er Ni come closer to him so that he can get familiar with her and take up a position in advance, right?
You are only in high school now, and you can work as my secretary. What will happen once you graduate from college?

"Er Ni, get in the car, what are you still standing there for?"

"Ah, it's coming."

Lu Yang had already gotten in the car, rolled down the window, looked up and down at the breathless girl who ran over, and said, "Just wear this outfit, no need to change. Go get a pen and a notebook ready. I have a very important meeting this afternoon. You don't need to talk, just bring your pen and notebook and write down everything in the meeting. That's your job today."

Since you want to build up your courage.

Then Lu Yang would have to be serious. The shareholders' meeting of the mining company in the afternoon was also an annual summary meeting, which was divided into two sessions. The first session was the board of directors shareholders' meeting, which would not have many people, only about 10 people at most. However, the second annual summary meeting would be held in the auditorium, and it was estimated that no less than four or five hundred people would come. By then, this timid girl, standing behind the rostrum, might not be able to withstand the curiosity of so many eyes.

Lu Yang thought in his heart with strange interest.

3 pm.

Lu Yang, who had just finished the board meeting, came to the workers' auditorium of the mining company with his new secretary, who walked like a primary school student with pigeon steps.

At this time, the auditorium that could accommodate 1000 people was already packed with people.

Lu Yang walked towards the podium with his head held high and chest puffed out, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "Are you nervous? If you are nervous, you can stay out of the stage now and wait for me in the car."

Lu Nini followed him closely and shook her head after hearing this.

nervous?

Of course I'm nervous.

She was too nervous.

She was so nervous that she didn't know how to walk. Her left hand and left foot, right hand and right foot were obviously moving in sync, not coordinated at all. How could she back down and just walk away in shame?
She didn't dare.

Grandfather taught her and his brother that once promised, they must do it. If they can't do it, they should not easily agree, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead. She gritted her teeth, tried her best to control her psychological fear, and didn't let her body tremble, and finally persevered to the end.

When Brother Lu Yang sat down on the podium.

She also quickly hid her body behind Brother Lu Yang, just like listening to the teacher in class, took out a pen and notebook, and prepared to take notes.

"Remember, if you feel there are too many people later, don't look up at the people in the audience. Just use your ears to listen carefully to the voices of the people on the rostrum."

"Brother Lu Yang is right. I won't look. I won't look. There is no one in front of me. Yes, there is nothing in front of me, just air. There is no one."

There were clearly hundreds of people sitting below the podium, all talking in low voices, so loud that they could be heard even outside the auditorium.

But her mind was blank at the moment. She tried desperately to hypnotize herself, following the method taught by Brother Lu Yang, trying to paralyze herself and make herself forget the fear and tension.

The first person to speak on stage was Zhao Shi, the new general manager of the mining company who was elected after discussion by the board of directors in the afternoon.

As for the title of factory director, it is about to become a thing of the past.

It represents the passing of an old era and the arrival of a new era.

However, there was not much joy on Zhao Shi's face.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Because with today's board of directors meeting, government representatives, including representatives from state-owned coal mines, all brought a copy of the document conveyed above.

All existing positions of mining company employees in state-owned coal mines will be cancelled immediately.

In other words, the era of people like them receiving double wages for their work is over.

What’s even more distressing is that they were not given any extra options, and their positions as middle and senior management in the mining company were simply cancelled.

Do you think it wouldn’t be heartbreaking?
After all, it was a stable job, but now it is gone. Of course, if you ask them to go back to the declining state-owned factory and collect that fixed salary, they may not be willing to do so.

After all, mining companies are thriving today.

Production has been rising year by year.

"Alas, now that we have no official position, I am afraid that the mine guards' right to carry guns will also be taken back by their superiors. I am the new general manager, but I am afraid that I will not have as much power as the former deputy director. I have really shot myself in the foot this time. I regret it so much. If I had known earlier, I should not have been impulsive. I should have notified Boss Lu first, and then made plans before arresting people."

Zhao Shi, who was regretting so much that his intestines turned green, came to power.

He first read out last year's coal mining and sales data, based on the past and looking forward to the future. After promising some benefits such as salary increase, he brought the new generation of leadership team to the audience and bowed to all the workers who were applauding desperately after hearing that there would be a salary increase this year.

The meeting is here.

Next it was the turn of last year's outstanding workers to come on stage to receive their awards.

By the way, here's my acceptance speech.

As for Lu Yang and other board members, major shareholders, or representatives of major shareholders, they sat on the podium just to show off. They did not prepare any speeches, and would not steal the limelight from Zhao Shi and other new leaders of the mining company who came on stage.

After all, you have to be low-key when making money.

If it is up to people like them to speak and appease the workers in the mines, then what are the needs of professional managers like Zhao Shi?
That’s right, Lu Yang positioned them as professional managers from now on, and they were to work well for his major shareholders.

As for management shareholding, forget it.

If they do a good job, they can be rewarded in the future, and it is not impossible to have internal stocks with the right to dividends at the end of the year. It also depends on their performance.

Lu Yang walked out of the auditorium with his little cousin Lu Nini.

A person quickly caught up with him from behind.

"Old village party secretary, you are still strong and powerful!"

That’s right, the person who came was the old village party secretary, Zhuangzhuang’s father.

"Don't mention it. I'll take your car and go down. I have something to talk to you about."

The old village party secretary hesitated and said to Lu Yang with a wry smile.

Then he didn't even wait for Lu Yang to refuse.

He opened the rear door of the Mercedes-Benz and bent down to sit in.

Lu Yang is also up to him.

After getting in the car, he turned around and smiled, "Is it my father-in-law who is looking for you?"

Old Man Yin wanted to take over the village's collective share of the mining company. Apart from his uncle, Lu Yang couldn't think of anyone else to look for.

The old village secretary's face was filled with the word "helpless" at this moment, and he said truthfully: "Your father-in-law has a big appetite. I originally thought he was just an honest and flattering person. He got his current wealth by sheer luck, and it was also because of sheer luck that he got a promising son-in-law like you.

But you see, ever since he had a son, he has become more and more aggressive. Today he came to my house and wanted to take over all the village’s shares in this mining company in one go, leaving me caught in the middle.”

Lu Yang didn't believe him and laughed, "Old village party secretary, you have held power in our village for 20 years, and no one can shake your position as village party secretary. Cricket, I am just a father-in-law, and if he wants it, will you give it to him? If you don't want to sell it, you can just ignore him."

After hearing this, the old village secretary smiled bitterly and said, "It would be great if it could be done this way, but your father-in-law's price is not low, and he has already brought people here before he came. He is not the only one in our village who wants to buy. There are also many people who want to take advantage of the high price to sell this part of the collective shares and cash out the money first. They all came together to speak for your father-in-law. Do you think I can just refuse like that?"

Lu Yang was delighted when he heard this.

My father-in-law actually has such a plan. No wonder he has to get money from me, even if it means drawing a clear line between us and his son-in-law.

But is it necessary for me to intervene in this kind of matter?
It doesn't seem necessary, right?
Lu Yang then said cheerfully, "Then I have no choice. My father-in-law has already drawn a clear line between us. Now he is him and I am me. Old village secretary, you came to me and wanted me to persuade him, but I'm afraid you found the wrong person. In my opinion, if you really can't do it, just sell all the shares to him."

The village party secretary immediately sat in the back seat of the car and shook his head. He said with a serious face, "Absolutely not. At least we can't sell all of them to your father-in-law. Some villagers are short-sighted, but I am not. If I sell them today, even if the premium is several times higher, once this part of the shares is more valuable in the future, some villagers will inevitably nag me, saying that I am abusing my power for personal gain. Alas, I am also in a difficult situation."
