Chapter 167 Times have changed

"It's probably too late at noon, let's do it in the evening."

Zhong Yun did not reject Xia Siyin's kindness. She had just given him a raise, so he had to give her some face. But it definitely wouldn't work at noon, as he might bump into Meng Jiaen.

So he changed the time.

"Okay, I'll ask Yao Man to arrange a car for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Xia."

Zhong Yun didn't expect that she was so thoughtful. It was indeed inconvenient without a car. As for Mr. Xia's Maybach, he decided to forget it for fear of scaring his parents.

A normal car will do.

After a while, Yao Man came over with a pair of car keys and took him to the garage to drive the car.

It was a black BMW X5.

It is a luxury brand, which is particularly recognized by older people, and it gives them face when driving it. It is not too expensive, and this arrangement is very thoughtful.

Zhong Yun quickly thanked him, "Thank you."

Yao Man said politely, "Don't thank me. It was President Xia who ordered it. You should thank President Xia."

"Boss Xia should thank you, and you should thank him too. I'll buy you milk tea next time."

"That can."

Yao Man didn't talk to him for long. President Xia couldn't leave for a moment, so she had to go back quickly.

……

When Zhong Yun drove to Huang Wenchao's house, as expected, he saw Meng Jiaen, who was sitting on the sofa, playing with Duoduo with her mother Zhang Yuzhen.

Little Duoduo sat in Meng Jiaen's arms, looking particularly well-behaved.

After he entered the door, he teased her and said, "Duoduo, do you still remember me?"

Duoduo showed a sweet smile on her face, "Uncle Red Envelope."

Her mother Zhou Fei corrected her in the kitchen, saying, "It's Uncle Yun."

"You're so sweet. Here, this is for you."

Zhong Yun took out a small gift from behind.

"Thank you, Uncle Yun."

Duoduo smiled even sweeter, and after receiving it, she couldn't wait to open it, revealing a beautiful headband. After putting it on, she turned around and asked Meng Jiaen, "Auntie, do I look good?"

"nice."

Zhou Fei came out with a plate of sliced ​​watermelon and said, "You don't need to buy these things for her. We have a lot of them at home. She won't need them after wearing them a few times. Look around the house, her toys are everywhere."

Zhong Yun stood up and took the plate from her, saying, "It's not much money, as long as Duoduo is happy."

"Just spoil her." Zhou Fei held her waist with her hands and said, "You really like daughters, so hurry up and have one while you're still young."

As she spoke, her eyes looked at Meng Jiaen.

Zhang Yuzhen and Zhong Lei also looked at Meng Jiaen.

She felt embarrassed to be stared at, and said shyly, "Why are you looking at me?"

Zhou Fei's smile became more ambiguous, and she said, "I was thinking that the daughter you will give birth to in the future will definitely be very cute."

"If you want to talk about him, why bring me into this?" Meng Jiaen rolled her eyes at Zhong Yun. "I'm still young, I don't want to think about these things."

Zhang Yuzhen couldn't help but say, "You should have children when you are young, and it's best to have more."

Meng Jiaen blushed, "Auntie! I won't tell you anymore."

She picked up Duoduo and said, "Let's go inside and play," and hid in the room.

Zhou Fei looked at her shy appearance and said to Zhang Yuzhen with a smile, "Young people nowadays all want to live a sweet life together. No one wants to have children before they are over 30."

Zhang Yuzhen said, "When she is in her 30s, I will be too old to help them take care of the child."

Seeing that they were getting more and more outrageous, Zhong Yun said, "I've seen forced marriages, but I've never seen people scare others like you. Who wouldn't be scared away if you just ask them to give birth to a child?"

Zhou Fei said with some remorse, "I was too talkative and forgot that she was still young."

Meng Jiaen graduated from university only one year ago. She is 23 years old, which is the best age in life. At this time, she only thinks about work, making friends, falling in love, and enjoying life. Who would consider having children at this time?
Especially since she's so beautiful.

Zhang Yuzhen was unhappy and said, "Xiao Fei is right. You are already thirty. When your brother Qin was your age, he already had two children. How much time do you have left to waste? If you wait another seven or eight years, you will be forty. Your father and I are in our sixties and seventies. Who will help you take care of the children..."

This is truly a soul-searching question.

Zhong Yun could only listen with a smile.

It was Zhou Fei who tried to smooth things over, saying, "Auntie, eat watermelon. It won't taste good soon."

……

At noon, Zhong Yun and the others had lunch at Zhou Fei's place, but she was not allowed to cook. She was less than three months pregnant and had severe pregnancy reactions. She felt like vomiting when she smelled cooking fumes.

Huang Wenchao hired a housekeeper to cook for him. This aunt was from their hometown and cooked hometown dishes that were more to Zhou Fei's liking.

During the meal, Huang Wenchao also rushed back.

"Uncle and aunt, I'm so sorry, I'm too busy at work and I can't spend enough time with you."

Zhang Yuzhen smiled and said, "It's okay. Young people should focus on their careers. Being busy is a good thing."

Zhong Yun thought he was offended.

Although I am not busy, I earn a lot, although most of it is system rewards.

Huang Wenchao said, "In fact, my company's transformation this time was all thanks to Ayun. He introduced a professional to me, which really helped me a lot. Otherwise, I would still be lost."

This sentence made Zhang Yuzhen and Zhong Lei happy. Seeing his rosy face, Zhong Yun knew that the director of Xiamang Company had achieved good results after coming to his company for guidance.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

When it comes to making the elderly happy, Huang Wenchao has to be the best. As a businessman, he only says things that make others happy. This shows he has a high emotional intelligence.

But I was really busy. After dinner, I drank two cups of tea, and then I received a call from the company, so I immediately drove back to the company.

……

In the afternoon, Zhong Yun took his parents to see his unmanned supermarket.

“This is my store.”

This time period is when there are the fewest customers. An employee was restocking the shelves. When he saw him, he complained, "Boss, business has been so good these days. I keep restocking shelves, and they are all sold out in no time. It feels like there is endless work to do."

"You've worked hard. Come, have a drink."

Zhong Yun patted the employee on the shoulder, took out a bottle of Red Bull from the refrigerator, scanned the code to pay, and handed it to the employee.

"Hey, thanks, boss."

Zhang Yuzhen and Zhong Lei were looking at everything in the store.

Finally, Zhang Yuzhen couldn't help but pull her son over and whispered, "Why didn't anyone collect the money?"

“That’s why it’s called an unmanned supermarket. There’s no need for people to be on duty and there’s no need for cashiers.”

"What if someone doesn't pay for the goods and steals them?"

"See? There are cameras everywhere. The system is connected to the police station. If someone takes something without paying, the police will be called immediately."

After listening to her son's explanation, Zhang Yuzhen still felt unsafe.

She had been doing small business all her life, and she had no faith in other people's moral character. In the past, even when there were people guarding the store, there were always people trying to steal things by all means.

There is no one guarding it, I dare not even think about it.

Although the public security is much better than before and petty thefts have decreased a lot, she still doesn't believe in human nature.

Zhong Yun tried his best to persuade his parents, and even took out the background data, before he could barely dispel their doubts.

Finally, he could only say, "How about this, I'll install an app on your phone that connects to the store's surveillance. When the time comes, you can help me keep an eye on it if you're free."

Zhang Yuzhen agreed.

Of course, the most important thing is the sales volume in the background, which shocked her.

She didn't say until we got back to the car, "This store is only about 50 or 60 square meters, but the daily turnover is 13,000 or 14,000? Is that true?"

You know, the supermarket with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters that Zhong Yun opened in another province had a turnover of only half of that of this store.

This was so exaggerated that she found it unbelievable.

"Of course it's true. Every penny goes directly into my account." Zhong Yun opened the account and showed her the flow of money.

After reading it, Zhang Yuzhen had to admit that the world had really changed, and it became a little difficult for her to understand.

Meng Jiaen who was standing by thought, not only do you not understand, even I find it a little bit confusing.

The fact that the business volume of this unmanned supermarket has remained so stable was beyond her expectations and caused her to waver in her judgment.

Could it be that the business model of unmanned supermarkets really has great prospects?
……

Zhong Yun booked a room for his parents so that they could rest and take a nap.

"Why come to the hotel and spend this much money?"

"I just moved, and the bed hasn't arrived yet. I have nowhere to sleep, so you guys stay here for one night. The bed should be here tomorrow."

After hearing what he said, Zhang Yuzhen didn't say much.

"Then we'll go back to the company first and pick you up later."

Zhong Yun took Meng Jiaen away.

As soon as she got out of the door, she suddenly asked, "When did you meet a professional who does live streaming to sell goods?"

"It's the company that President Xia gave me that 1% of shares. I am now considered a shareholder."

Meng Jiaen looked at him and said, "One percent of the shares are returned to shareholders. No one wants to pay attention to you. It's Xia Siyin, right? I know that she gave you shares with bad intentions."

Zhong Yun said, "You should think of it this way. She and I are just shareholders of the same company. You and I will soon become partners. We will own a company together."

"I suspect you are just making empty promises for me."

"Let's go find a lawyer now, draw up a contract, and then set up a company."

The lawyer was introduced by Gao Yutao, who knows a lot of people.

After settling the contract issue, I found an agency to handle the company registration.

After a busy day, it was soon past six in the afternoon.

……

Zhong Yun was thinking about how to get Meng Jiaen away, but he couldn't think of a good way. He was just about to tell her the truth and tell her that Xia Siyin was going to treat his parents to dinner.

At this time, Meng Jiaen's phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, she said a few words and said a little depressedly, "My grandfather asked me to go back. I can't have dinner with my uncle and aunt in the evening."

"It's okay, just stay with your grandpa."

Meng Jiaen just got off the car and suddenly called him, "Zhong Yun."

"Ok?"

"Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
