Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1116 Want to Eat Feet

Xiao Wei said, "If you don't have to, you should go check on it more often. It's such a big project, there are so many complicated things involved. We can spend money, but we need to understand how we're spending it, right?"

Xiao Hong said, "It's okay, the money doesn't go into the treasury. There's also an audit, right? Besides, the work is done by the military, what's there to worry about?"

Xiao Wei said, "Fine, you decide for yourself, I won't interfere."

Xiao Hong asked, "You're really not going to do that thing the city brought up? Won't it be embarrassing to back down like that?"

Beibei hugged Xiaohong's neck and looked at Xiaowei.

Xiao Wei said, "What's wrong with it? Where can you get involved in those things? Business is a mess, and who can sort out all these years of accumulated issues? How do you manage the relationships between people up and down? If you don't do anything, nothing will change, but if you do, how many people will you offend?"

And the biggest drawback is that if you lose money, no one will sympathize, but if you make money, people will be envious, believe it or not? If we take over, make some changes, and it actually works, and our performance improves in all aspects, someone will definitely come out and sue us for embezzling state assets or something. I'm not getting involved in this."

Xiao Hong said, "We paid for it, so why should he sue us if he wants? The money we made is because we managed the business well."

Xiao Wei shook his head: "It's not that simple. If you take it over and lose everything, nobody will care about you. But if you make money and develop the business, someone will definitely jump at you. You paid money to buy it. How much did you pay? Why did they sell it to you? How were the assets calculated? These are all things that can't be explained."

Xiao Hong stared wide-eyed: "So, we were wrong to spend money to save the company?"

Xiao Wei said, "It's right not to do it, but it's wrong to do it. The loss isn't personal, and it doesn't affect anyone's life. But if you make money, those people will think it should be theirs, and they'll try every means to get us to take it back. They don't care whether we make a profit or a loss after we take it back, as long as we get the benefits."

Xiao Hong thought for a moment without saying anything, then looked at Bei Bei and nudged Bei Bei's forehead with her own: "Grow up quickly and help Mom fight the big bad guys."

Beibei asked, "Who's the big bad guy?"

Xiao Hong said, "Those big bad guys outside."

Beibei waved her little fist: "Hit him."

Little Hui called out from the stairs, "Sister!"

Beibei turned her head and looked over, swaying her little body as she tried to get down from Xiaohong's arms. Xiaohong picked her up and put her socks on, then patted her little feet and said, "If you go barefoot again, I'll cut your feet off and stew them."

Beibei hid her feet: "It doesn't taste good."

Little Red pounced on it: "I love eating this, ahh!"

Beibei screamed and jumped back, leaping off the sofa and running quickly towards the stairs: "Little brother, run! Mommy's gone crazy, she's going to eat your toes!"

The two children screamed and ran upstairs. Aunt Wang happened to be coming down and grabbed them, one in each arm: "What are you doing? Is it an earthquake?"

Little Hui said, "Aunt Hong, I want to eat your toes."

Xiao Hong asked Xiao Wei, "So how are you going to talk to the city? Even if we don't do anything about it, we can't just offend people outright."

Aunt Wang carried them down, one in each arm: "What happened? Who did you offend?"

Xiao Hong said, "The city wants Xiao Wei to take over some loss-making companies, but Xiao Wei doesn't want to get involved. I said that even if he doesn't want to do it, he can't offend anyone, so we have to think of a way to turn him down. He just firmly said he wouldn't do it."

Aunt Wang asked, "Which area? Which factory?"

Xiao Wei said, "The food group has a large market, a cannery, and two small food factories. They've given us a plan, and the Commerce Bureau has two sales companies for retail. We haven't discussed it yet."

Aunt Wang said, "How do you want me to take over? A joint venture?"

Xiao Wei said, "They said they'd sell it to me as a package deal. What would I do with that junk? I don't know what they were thinking. The only useful ones are the skilled workers; I could have just hired them directly. Why did they have to buy an empty shell? I just can't understand these officials these days."

Aunt Wang said, "Didn't that factory used to have buildings and land? If the price is right, why not buy it and develop it? Beibei, don't sit directly on the ground, it's cold."

Xiao Wei said, "What can you do with that little bit of land? It's not even in the same area. The main problem is that the pricing is difficult. If it's too high, it's not worth it; if it's too low, the future is uncertain."

Aunt Wang said, "Don't rush into a decision. Let's talk it over slowly and see if we can find a solution that satisfies both sides. It's not good for you to just stubbornly stick to your guns. You still need to consider all aspects. Some people are just bad at things and more likely to cause trouble than get anything done. They might try to sabotage you one day. It's not worth it."

Xiao Wei said, "I know. It's just something people say at home. I'm not stupid."

Aunt Wang said, "I don't know what happened this year. Everything seemed fine before, but suddenly these businesses are failing and collapsing."

Xiao Hong said, "It's all because of those old men. They're not good at anything, all they think about is lining their own pockets. They never take responsibility, they just try to get the boss a new car or some perks. It's like they think that if they can please the boss and get him a nice car, the company will be more profitable."

Xiao Wei said, "It's still a systemic problem. They were all promoted during the original planning period. They didn't know anything or know anything except waiting for assignments from above, and then they even tried to seize power. It's not surprising at all that things are like this now. It's just that the workers at the bottom are quite pitiful."

Aunt Wang sighed, "I don't know what the future holds, or whether things will turn out well or badly."

Xiaohong asked, "Mom, aren't you going to the company today either?"

Aunt Wang said, "What's wrong? You're not happy that your mother is taking a day off?"

Xiaowei's mother came out of the kitchen: "Xiaowei, why are you still lounging on the sofa? Go greet them, they're probably almost here."

Xiao Wei said, "They've all been with us since we were kids, so why should I hold a ceremony? They're not outsiders."

Xiaowei's mother said, "Just do what I tell you to do. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Xiao Wei stood up and put on his slippers: "Fine, you're Mom, you're in charge. I'll go line up at the door to greet you."

Beibei got up and ran over: "Daddy, where are you going? I want to go too!"

Little Hui followed closely behind: "Me too!"

Xiao Wei waved his hand: "Okay, everyone go. Hurry up and put on your shoes, let's go."

After putting on his shoes and coming out of the house, Xiao Wei led a child by the hand and walked towards the gate. A goose in the woods tilted its head and greeted him, a big yellow dog wagged its tail and came over, ducks floated in the pond, and chickens caught insects in the vegetable garden behind the building.

A gentle breeze carried the rich aroma of cakes, mixed with the noise from the new factory construction site.

The garage doors were all open. Xiao Wei looked inside and felt he should wash the car, but then he looked at the two children in his arms and decided against it, thinking it would easily turn into washing the children.

Today, Changyuan, Xinghai, Siwei, Liuliu, Gazi, and Laizi all came over to celebrate that Laizi has finally escaped his misery and can now openly stay in Fengtian and do his own thing.
