I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

夜

In an old residential area without property management, Meng Dawei led the way, followed by Shen Kang and Kang Zhengyang.

Meng Dawei's feelings were complicated at this moment: he never expected that President Shen would come to his door to help persuade his son.

Meng Dawei knew how stubborn his son was, so he didn't have much hope and didn't think Shen Kang could succeed, but Shen Kang's sincerity still moved him.

Speaking of which, although General Manager Shen is young, he's really capable. Sometimes he can be quite demanding, for example, meticulous about service quality, but in other areas, he's impeccable. He even buys them housekeeping service insurance to protect them…

Lost in thought, I arrived at Meng Dawei's apartment building.

After leading the way up, we stopped at the entrance of 302.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Kang, we've arrived. This is my home."

As Meng Dawei spoke, he opened the door and led the two inside.

His wife was home; she was a working woman in her forties. Seeing Shen Kang and Kang Zhengyang, she seemed a little confused. Meng Dawei introduced them: "They are my company's bosses, General Manager Shen and General Manager Kang. Where's Xiaozhou?"

"He's in the room." Meng Dawei's wife seemed very reserved and hurriedly went to pour water for the guest.

"Uncle Dawei, please take me directly to his room. I want to talk to him. We're the same age and have a lot in common."

So Kang Zhengyang stayed in the living room, while Meng Dawei took Shen Kang to his son Meng Pingzhou's room.

It was a very small room, only about ten square meters, with a bed and a desk squeezed in. A boy was sitting at the desk reading a novel. When he saw Meng Dawei come in, he called out "Dad".

Meng Dawei gave the two a brief introduction: "Xiao Zhou, this is your father's boss, Mr. Shen Kang. He, like you, just got into university."

The company boss just got into university...

What on earth is all this? Meng Pingzhou was a little confused.

After Meng Dawei finished his introduction, he left and closed the door.

"What novel are you reading?" Shen Kang went over and glanced at it. "Oh, Zhu Xian?"

This novel is truly a classic. What impressed Shen Kang the most was a 3D version of Lu Xueqi's story that he read in his later years, made with VAM and featuring Chinese dubbing. It was excellent.

"Is this your first time watching it?" Shen Kang asked again.

Meng Pingzhou nodded subconsciously, "Mmm."

"It's been 8002 years, and this is your first time watching it?" Shen Kang was somewhat surprised.

"I was always studying at school before, so I didn't have time to read these novels." Although it felt a little strange, Meng Pingzhou was still led away by this overly familiar guy.

"So who do you like the most, Lu Xueqi or Biyao?" Shen Kang asked again.

Meng Pingzhou perked up a bit, "It must be Biyao!"

Shen Kang chuckled: "Biyao died later, and she wasn't resurrected by the end."

"..."

Meng Pingzhou felt a lump in his throat, finding the guy in front of him incredibly annoying.

"Actually, *Zhu Xian* is an old book. There's a new book recently called *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*, which is really good..."

After approaching the topic from the perspective of the novel, under Shen Kang's control, the two quickly became acquainted, and Shen Kang also sat down by Meng Pingzhou's bedside.

The conversation also extended from the novel to Shen Kang.

"...You're really about to start college? And you're really the boss of my dad's company?" Meng Pingzhou asked curiously.

"Of course it's true! Otherwise, why would your dad bring a stranger today?"

Meng Pingzhou's expression couldn't hide his envy, and he seemed even closer to him—people naturally like to be close to outstanding individuals; it's human nature to pursue profit.

Seeing that things had gone well enough, Shen Kang got to the point: "I heard from your dad that you don't want him to take you to school?"

Meng Pingzhou remained silent.

Shen Kang ignored him and continued, "Actually, I understand you. School starts soon, and I don't want my old man to take me to school. If my classmates see me like that, they'll think I haven't grown up yet. How embarrassing! Going by myself would obviously make me look much more mature. Of course, we have indeed grown up and matured, so we don't need anyone to take us. We can manage on our own."

Meng Pingzhou felt that what he said resonated with him and couldn't help but agree: "That's true, I'm already so grown up, why would I need him to take me?"

Shen Kang nodded in agreement: "To be honest, they are out of touch with the times and don't understand many things. If they go to other places, we will most likely have to take care of them."

Meng Pingzhou nodded vigorously, agreeing even more, feeling that the person in front of him was simply his soulmate.

Shen Kang continued, "So I told my husband that I would go by myself and didn't need him to take me. Then my mother told me privately that my husband didn't actually want to take me to university. He's just lived in Yangcheng his whole life and has never been to other places. He just wanted to take this opportunity to go out and see the world and travel around."

"They were too embarrassed to say it, after all, you know their generation, they are all about giving and can't talk about enjoying things, so they used sending me to school as an excuse."

Shen Kang sighed, "After hearing what my mom said that day, I thought about it all night and felt really bad. The next day, I told my dad to take me to school. He was so happy, like a little kid, haha, just like when we were going on a school field trip when we were kids. I don't care what the other classmates think of me, after all, I'm all grown up now, and taking care of my family is a mature man's responsibility..."

Meng Pingzhou listened intently, lost in thought.

So that's what Father was thinking...

Not long after, Shen Kang came out of Meng Pingzhou's room, followed by Meng Pingzhou.

Meng Dawei and his wife were sitting in the living room drinking tea with Kang Zhengyang when they saw this, and Meng Dawei subconsciously stood up.

"Dad," Meng Pingzhou said, "please take me to school in a few days, and Mom can come along too."

Meng Dawei was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, still feeling incredulous: Wait, what kind of magic did President Shen use on this kid? How did he agree so quickly? President Shen is amazing!

"Okay!" Meng Dawei nodded repeatedly.

Seeing Meng Dawei's delighted expression, Meng Pingzhou was also very pleased. He held his head high even higher, feeling himself becoming more mature and a truly mature man.

"Uncle Dawei, we won't bother you any longer, we're leaving now." Shen Kang also took his leave.

Meng Dawei, deeply grateful, saw the two off to their door and all the way downstairs. Standing at the entrance of the building, he kept thanking them, saying, "Thanks so much, Mr. Shen, you're amazing!"

Shen Kang waved his hand, "Alright, enough nonsense. Everyone in the company knows how awesome I am. I won't reimburse you for the leave. Just send Pingzhou off to university properly. Take the train, don't throw away the train ticket, the company will reimburse you when you get back. Only train, not plane, plane tickets won't be reimbursed."

Meng Dawei was stunned, then felt even more ashamed. "No, Mr. Shen, I'm so embarrassed..."

"You're not the only one. From now on, if any employee has a child going to university for the first time, the company will reimburse their train ticket." And that's how we left.

Shen Kang didn't give him a chance to say anything more and simply pulled Kang Zhengyang away.

After the two left, Meng Dawei stood downstairs for a long time before finally making up his mind: he wouldn't switch jobs. President Shen had always been incredibly kind to him; for him to switch jobs and help someone else against President Shen was simply inhuman.

Moreover, President Shen is too capable, a bit scary. If I switch jobs, I might be unemployed in no time...

Shen Kang and Kang Zhengyang were walking outside the residential area.

Kang Zhengyang remarked with great emotion, "I heard from Dawei that his son is very stubborn. How come you managed to handle him so quickly after just a short time inside?"

Shen Kang briefly recounted what he had said, which earned him a thumbs-up from Kang Zhengyang, who exclaimed, "Awesome!"

Then, Kang Zhengyang got down to business: "So, are we really going to reimburse every employee who's sending their child to university for the first time? That would increase costs again."

Shen Kang chuckled: "Teacher Kang, how many of our employees do you think have children of school age? And how many of those children are actually going to university?"

After thinking it over, Kang Zhengyang suddenly realized: the probability of this happening is too small, so the cost is actually very small. However, this kind of welfare policy can improve employee loyalty, a typical example of achieving great things with little money.

Shen Kang continued, "As time goes by, the phenomenon of customers privately contacting cleaning services and bypassing the company to complete the transaction is bound to occur, and even our company is no exception."

"I've already designed many things, such as signing contracts and centralized monthly salary payments, to reduce the phenomenon of employees jumping ship, but that's not enough. We also need to care for our employees. So employee care and welfare design will be a key focus of your work going forward. We need to plan ahead."

Kang Zhengyang nodded repeatedly, noting all of this down. Finally, he suddenly spoke up, saying, "I recently heard a rumor that an outside company is contacting Meng Dawei, trying to poach him and replicate our system. I was wondering how to handle this, but I guess we don't need to now."

Shen Kang didn't take it too seriously, simply laughing it off: "So you're saying I just stumbled upon something by accident? It doesn't matter. As the company grows, these kinds of things are bound to happen. There's no such thing as being able to guard against thieves forever. What we need to do is constantly improve ourselves and hone our skills..."

The two walked and talked for a while. After a while, Kang Zhengyang brought up his own affairs: "...I have resigned from the school and will be settling down here from now on."

"Are you really decided?"

"It's really decided."

Kang Zhengyang's eyes were firm, and then he smiled: "During my time at Anjia, although I had to learn a lot of things every day after get off work and it was very tiring, when I led Anjia to conquer new territories and achieve success after success, I felt an unprecedented passion. It was much more interesting than teaching. Maybe I'm just not suited to be a teacher."

Shen Kang nodded, "Okay, then I'll be relying on you here while I'm at school."

Kang Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, then found himself both amused and exasperated.

He almost forgot that he, the boss, was still a high school graduate and was about to go to college.
