Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1171 Dumplings

Manager Zhang took out his phone and called home: "You're back? Is the child home? Hehehe, I'm in a good mood today. Get ready and wait for me."

Manager Chen and the others are in the same boat.

This was the first time in their lives they had received such a large sum of money openly and legitimately.

The excitement had to be released. At the same time, there was a joy of being recognized for one's value; like a scholar dying for one who understands him, everyone was full of enthusiasm for next year's work.

Young people are different from these middle-aged people. They are so excited that their faces are flushed. They want to shout and jump, and they want to call their parents to share the news right away. If anyone talks badly about the company in front of them, they will definitely scratch their face.

In a corner of the garage, Director Liu's car was parked, its body swaying slightly. Rapid breathing filled the car. After a long while, he withdrew his slick hand and slumped into the seat. His other hand gripped the red bankbook tightly.

……

Xiao Wei, Chen Hui, Geng Hui, and Aunt Wang carried their things into the yard.

Aunt Wang said, "You guys are really generous, giving away millions like that, oh my, I can't believe it."

Xiao Wei said, "So many companies need management; we can't manage them all ourselves. We have to rely on others for the actual operation and management. We can't just put money in our own pockets. Everyone goes to work to earn money; only when we earn money do we have the energy and motivation."

Chen Hui said, "The lion's share still comes from us. If we let them take more, they'll be able to work with peace of mind when they have money at home. They'll all be thinking about getting more next year, and then we'll earn more. It's not enough to just milk the cows without giving them the grass. The reason why state-owned enterprises are being destroyed is because of unfair distribution."

Geng Hui is becoming more and more mature. She smoothed her hair and said, "I want to go to Hainan with Xia Xia, to see the ends of the earth. They say there's no winter there, but I wonder what it's like."

Xiao Wei said, "I think it's a good idea. Lao Xia is usually busy with work, and you have a lot of things to do, so it's rare for you to have a few days off. Tell Brother Gao to bring two security guards and invite his family along. It'll be lively and safer."

Chen Hui said, "You guys go have fun. I'm flying to Kyoto tomorrow morning so the family can have a get-together. Xiaowei, I'll wait for you in Kyoto. I don't want to go through all that trouble."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, I'll drive there after the New Year. What about the car? We can't get there without a car, can we?"

Chen Hui said, "Let's find a few people from the army to drive over there, two of them, and then we can buy a few more over there, that will be enough."

Aunt Wang said, "Do we still need to buy a car? Aren't there already some parked underground?"

Xiao Wei said, "Those are for sale. If we run out, we'll just have to restock. We might as well just buy them from there."

Aunt Wang shook her head: "I don't understand you guys. Your brains aren't what they used to be, you can't keep up. What about the money over there? Should we do separate accounting or bring it over and handle it all together? It's a bit far away, it's hard to manage."

Xiao Wei said, "Let's set up separate accounts over there and reconcile them at the end of the year. Otherwise, you'll have to have someone constantly running back and forth, which is inconvenient and unnecessary. You just need to keep things stable in the Northeast. Where is Li Gengsheng now?"

Geng Hui said, "In Harbin, there's such a big operation there, we need someone to keep an eye on it."

Xiao Wei covered his ears and said, "Isn't this a bit wasteful? The main structure of the project is in the hands of the military. Do we really need to be this careful?"

Aunt Wang said, "If it's cold, just wear a hat with ear flaps, or even a cotton hat. Is looking good really that important? Are you just going to tough it out and freeze?"

Xiao Wei said, "I'm not out all day long, why bother with all that trouble?"

Geng Hui said, "The project is too large, involving hundreds of millions of yuan. It involves all sorts of things, and none of them are small amounts. I feel it's best to keep an eye on it."

Aunt Wang said, "Yes, Xiaohui did the right thing. It's just that a few cents' worth of things adds up to a lot when you buy a lot. If people and horses eat like that, how can it work if you let them do whatever they want?"

Xiao Wei said, "That's not even as big as the Kyoto project. How much did the three Kyoto projects cost combined?"

Aunt Wang glanced at Xiaowei and said, "Aren't you there? Just find two experienced accountants. Young ones won't do; they're too restless. Find retired ones; they're reliable and conscientious. You and Xiaohui aren't going to ruin your health by going to this school; you'll still be running the company."

Geng Hui said, "Yes, that's what I'm thinking. I'll check the accounts every six months. If all else fails, Aunt Chen is there too. We need someone reliable in Bingcheng; it's too far away."

"Alright. That's settled then." Xiao Wei took two steps forward and opened the door. Geng Hui, Aunt Wang, and Chen Hui entered the room. Xiao Wei closed the door and went to change his shoes. Chen Xiao greeted him with white powder in his hands: "The meeting is over? So this means the holiday has officially started?" He wiped the white powder in his hands on Geng Hui's face.

Geng Hui was changing her shoes when half of her face was smeared with the smear. She jumped up and chased after Chen Xiao, yelling, "You're so annoying!"

Beibei, her hands and face covered in white, ran out of the kitchen: "Daddy, I'm making dumplings!"

Little Hui followed behind the older girl, and needless to say, his face and body were covered in flour.

Chen Hui exclaimed, "My goodness! Are you taking a bath with noodles?"

Xiao Xiaohui held up the dough in his hand: "Dumplings."

Xiaowei's mother's voice came over: "You're back, hurry up and wash your hands, come and wrap it up, just finish wrapping it quickly."

A few people walked over, and Xiao Wei, washing his hands, asked, "What kind of filling is it?"

Xiaowei's mom said, "Sauerkraut with pork, and shrimp with chives, just two dishes."

Everyone took off their coats, washed their hands, sat down, and started opening their bags, quickly picking up the pace.

As Xiao Wei packed his bag, he turned his head to look around and asked, "Where's my dad?"

Xiao Wei's mother said, "I didn't see him. This old man is rarely home these days, I don't know what he's busy with all day."

Aunt Wang said, "He's setting up that specialty store. I overheard him talking to Old Wang about it. Now that you're about to become the park director, he can't be any less capable than you. He's planning to get the specialty store up and running."

Xiao Wei said, "That's easy to do, even simpler than opening a convenience store."

Geng Hui said, "It's not that easy either. You have to choose a location and go to the wholesale market. There aren't as many samples, so it's actually more troublesome than setting up a convenience store. Convenience stores sell fast-moving consumer goods."

Xiaowei's mother said, "Of course, whether you can get used to the food is one thing, and it's so expensive."

Aunt Wang said, "I just can't stand it. Meat and such are tolerable, but I really can't stand that milk tofu. Once it's steamed, the stench travels two miles in the wind."

Chen Hui said, "Actually, it's not a bad smell, it's just that the smell is too strong. It still tastes pretty good."

Chen Xiao said to Xiao Xiaohui, "Son, there's dough in your hands while Mom is wearing a sweater. You can't grab it, okay?"

Little Hui stood on the ground with a frown, looking up at his mother. Bei Bei waved, "Little brother, come on, ignore them, let's catch mice together."

Xiao Wei looked over: "A mouse?"

Xiaowei's mother said, "Wheat ears. She saw me making bags and copied me, calling them mice."
