The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

For a long time afterwards, Cao Xuemeng kept following up on the new fruit wine factory construction project.

In the eyes of others, Mr. Shi clearly treats Cao Xuemeng as a key junior to be trained.

Those who know the inside story understand what is going on, while those who don’t can only make wild guesses.

On this day, after finishing work at the project department in the city, Cao Xuemeng returned to the Xuemeng Food Factory in Qingshi Town. She first went to the general manager's office and reported the progress of the project to General Manager Shi Jingxiu.

After she finished her report, Shi Jingxiu asked her, "Xue Meng, have any city leaders been there during this period?"

Cao Xuemeng shook her head: "No, since our project was officially launched, Secretary Zhu Lingyun has been there twice, and no one else has been there."

"Well, okay, let's not worry about those things for now. We still have to speed up the progress of this project. There is a shortage of fruit wine in the foreign market, and they are waiting for us to increase production." Shi Jingxiu said.

Cao Xuemeng nodded. After reading the project plan, she naturally understood this principle.

"Ms. Shi, there is one more thing. Should we start recruiting people for the city project now?" Cao Xuemeng asked her.

Shi Jingxiu finally agreed and approved the recruitment plan.

And this matter was personally presided over by Cao Xuemeng.

It was obvious that this was an opportunity for Shi Jingxiu to give Cao Xuemeng training.

Cao Xuemeng also understood this in her heart.

After get off work, Cao Xuemeng drove back to Caojiazhuang.

During the few months that he was in charge of the new production line project of the fruit wine factory in Yiling City, Cao Xuemeng came back twice.

Because of this incident, Wang Yuelan often complained about her son, saying that her son was cruel, abandoning her granddaughter outside and not caring about her, and not allowing her to go home.

Every time Cao Shujie heard his mother say this, he was speechless, but because of his mother's old age, he did not argue with her about this.

As soon as Cao Xuemeng stopped the car and got out with her bag, she saw her grandparents packing up their stall.

It was just sunset at this time, and the tourists who came to Caojiazhuang had just left.

"Grandpa, grandma." Cao Xuemeng called out twice, then ran over to help them put away the things.

Both Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan were very happy to see their granddaughter come back.

Wang Yuelan looked at her granddaughter carefully, and at last, she kept saying, "Mengmeng, why do you seem to have lost weight? Are you not eating well outside?"

"Oh my, I told your dad not to go out, but he didn't listen and insisted on letting you go out. What's his intention?"

Cao Jianguo nodded seriously, "Mengmeng looks a lot thinner. Mengmeng, are you not getting enough to eat outside?"

"Grandma, Grandpa, you must have seen it wrong. I have gained a lot of weight recently." Cao Xuemeng clenched her fists and wanted to flex her biceps, but unfortunately, she really couldn't flex her muscles.

Cao Jianguo didn't even look at it. He turned around and took a loaf of bread and a sealed bowl of eight-treasure porridge from the stall.

He handed the bread to his granddaughter first: "Mengmeng, here you go, eat some first."

Then, before Cao Xuemeng could come to her senses, Cao Jianguo tore open the seal of the Eight Treasure Porridge, revealing the rich ingredients in the bowl, including red dates, longans, glutinous rice, peanuts, etc.

After tearing open the sealed skin, a sweet fragrance hits your nose.

Cao Xuemeng didn't want to eat at first, but when she smelled the fragrance, she subconsciously swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

"It smells so good," she said.

When Cao Jianguo heard his granddaughter say this, he laughed and took out a spoon sealed in a disposable paper bag from the ground. He tore open the paper bag and handed the spoon to his granddaughter: "Here, the eight-treasure porridge is not hot anymore, eat it quickly."

"Hey, grandpa, the eight-treasure porridge cooked by you and grandma is still the best. Those eight-treasure porridges cooked outside are all crap. I don't like to drink them." Cao Xuemeng put down the bread, held the small bowl, and without using a spoon, put the bowl to her mouth and poured the food into her mouth.

Because the eight-treasure porridge was too thick and made a twitching sound when she drank it, she began to complain: "Grandpa, grandma, you put too much ingredients in it. It would be fine if it was a little thinner."

When Wang Yuelan heard her granddaughter say that, she was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped her granddaughter on the back: "That's a scam. It's called eight-treasure porridge, but it's just a pot of rice porridge with a few dates and peanuts in it. It doesn't taste good at all."

"We are not trying to make money with this, it's genuine goods at a good price."

Cao Xuemeng scooped up a spoonful of the soup, which was so thick that it could be pulled into threads. She swallowed her saliva and said to the two elders, "Grandpa, grandma, how much did this bowl cost?"

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the two elders to respond, but scooped half a bowl of soup into his mouth with a spoon.

"Mengmeng, eat slowly, we have more at home." Cao Jianguo advised his granddaughter.

Wang Yuelan felt sorry for her granddaughter when she saw her in such a miserable state. She said, "Oh, what kind of suffering did this child go through out there? Why is she so hungry?"

"That's right. I'll go find her father. What a fool! It's a different era now, and he still let his daughter starve to this state." Cao Jianguo muttered.

After he finished speaking, he bent down, took a stick that was supporting the stall's promotional posters, and walked home.

As he walked, he shouted that he would break his son's legs today.

Cao Xuemeng never expected that this scene would happen.

She didn't expect to make her father suffer. She didn't even bother to drink the eight-treasure porridge. She held half a bowl of the porridge and ran home behind her grandfather: "Grandpa, it's nothing. Don't misunderstand."

"What did I misunderstand?" Cao Jianguo said.

Arriving in the yard, Cao Jianguo shouted upstairs: "Shujie, come down here."

Cao Shujie was playing with his little daughter Nuannuan in the room on the second floor. When he heard her father calling him, he was startled and quickly carried his daughter to the railing on the second floor to look down.

The father was holding a wooden stick as thick as a child's forearm. When he saw him, he raised the stick and pointed it at him: "Get down here."

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Is there any misunderstanding?" Cao Shujie asked with gritted teeth.

He didn't dare go down.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Cao Jianguo said to him: "Misunderstanding, look at how hungry Mengmeng is."

"Mengmeng used to work in Beijing, so I didn't say anything to you. Now Mengmeng has returned to the factory to work, but I still haven't seen her for several months. Tell me clearly, what have you asked her to be busy with during this period of time?" Cao Jianguo asked.

After listening to this, Cao Shujie finally understood what was going on. He quickly explained: "Dad, you misunderstood, you really misunderstood." "Explain it to me clearly, or I will break your legs today." Cao Jianguo looked like he would not give up.

Cao Shujie felt very annoyed. His old father was still strong and healthy. He had been busy setting up the stall all day, and yet he came in and had the leisure to give him a beating.

At this moment, Cao Shujie was not a domineering boss or a local tyrant in Caojiazhuang. He was really afraid that this misunderstanding would make his father sick.

"Dad, I was thinking of letting Mengmeng take over the Xuemeng Food Factory. I asked her to go to the factory for training. In the past few months, I asked her to be the assistant to the general manager Shi Jingxiu. Now I let her be responsible for a project construction alone. This is also an opportunity for her to train her. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mengmeng." Cao Shujie felt that he had to make this matter clear today, otherwise he would be in danger today.

Sure enough, after hearing what his son said, Cao Jianguo calmed down. He looked at his son, then at his granddaughter beside him, and finally slowly lowered the stick he had raised. He asked his granddaughter in a low voice without any confidence: "Mengmeng, is that so? Did your dad lie to me?"

When Cao Xuemeng saw her father being humiliated, she really wanted to take the opportunity to let her grandfather teach her father a lesson and "avenge" her. But the moment she looked up, she saw her father winking at her, so Cao Xuemeng thought about it and gave up the idea.

She came close to her grandfather obediently and said in a flattering manner: "Grandpa, what my father said is true."

"I am now learning from General Manager Shi of the factory. Now General Manager Shi wants me to go to Yiling City to be responsible for a new project independently." Cao Xuemeng quickly clarified to her father.

When Cao Jianguo heard his granddaughter admit it, he stopped being stubborn this time. He threw the stick on the ground a little embarrassedly and said, "If that's the case, forget it."

But he had his own bottom line and refused to admit his mistake in front of his son. He even shouted, "Mengmeng, if your dad is deliberately making things difficult for you, just tell me and I'll take care of him."

After finishing speaking, Cao Jianguo quickly turned around and walked out: "I'll go clean up the stall for your grandma first."

Cao Shujie had a panoramic view of everything downstairs from upstairs. Especially when he saw that his old father did not admit his mistakes but was more efficient than anyone else, he couldn't help laughing.

But seeing his daughter still standing downstairs, Cao Shujie called her again: "Mengmeng, come up."

"Dad, is there something wrong?" Cao Xuemeng was a little scared at this moment, not knowing what her father wanted to do.

"I asked you to come up, but you don't understand." Cao Shujie said with a straight face.

This time, Cao Xuemeng didn't dare to delay and ran upstairs.

When she came upstairs, Cao Xuemeng saw her father sitting on the sofa and her sister Nuannuan was swinging on her father's lap.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xuemeng was envious. She remembered that she played like this with her father when she was a child.

At that time, no matter how naughty she was, her father would not get angry and would always tease her.

It’s just a pity that time passed too quickly. She felt that she hadn’t enjoyed enough of her childhood happiness, and before she knew it, she graduated from college.

"Mengmeng, tell me how you are doing in Yiling City?" Cao Shujie asked his daughter.

Cao Xuemeng laughed and said, "Dad, it's OK. I'm doing fine over there."

"Aunt Zhu, whom you told me about last time, went there twice during this period. She highly recognized our project and asked me when we could recruit workers. She also said that she would arrange people to fully cooperate with me when we recruit workers." Cao Xuemeng was a little proud.

Cao Shujie rolled his eyes at his daughter and said, "Look at how little you have accomplished. Have you ever thought about why Zhu Lingyun is helping you so much?"

"I know, Aunt Zhu is doing this for your sake." Cao Xuemeng was not shy at all, and she didn't think it was embarrassing.

Some people even said with admiration: "Dad, I find you are really amazing. You have a lot of connections. No matter which department in Yiling City I am from, as long as I apply, there will be people to help me."

This is another benefit that Cao Xuemeng gained from operating this project.

For the first time, she truly realized that her father's influence had permeated every aspect of Yiling City.

She still remembers that when she went to those departments to handle formalities under the banner of Xuemeng Food Factory, when they heard that she was from "Xuemeng Food Factory", those units really gave her the green light and did not make things difficult for her at all.

Even if there were difficult problems, Cao Xuemeng would visit them personally. Once she told them that her father was Cao Shujie, the other party would immediately change his attitude and ask her about her well-being.

Cao Shujie didn't think this was a great thing, nor did he lose himself in pride: "Okay, anything else?"

"How long will it take to complete this project?" Cao Shujie asked his daughter.

Cao Xuemeng thought about it and said to his father: "The efficiency of this construction is beyond my imagination. If it goes fast, I estimate that we can start trial production in one year. If it goes slowly, it will take at most one and a half years."

"Okay, after this project goes into production, if everything goes well, I will promote you." Cao Shujie said calmly.

Cao Xuemeng almost thought she had heard it wrong, so she asked again to confirm that she had heard it correctly, and then asked her father: "Dad, what kind of official position do you want to give birth to for me?"

"How about letting you be the vice president of the company and be in charge of this project?" Cao Shujie asked his daughter.

It is totally unrealistic to let his daughter directly become the general manager of Xuemeng Food Factory.

Cao Shujie also knows that everything must be done step by step.

He said, "Mengmeng, it all depends on your performance. The better you perform, the more important the work assigned to you will be."

Cao Xuemeng was happy: "Okay, Dad, let's make a pinky promise."

She stretched out her hand and wanted to make a pinky promise with her father, just like when she was a child.

Who knew that before her father could extend his little finger, her sister Nuannuan extended a finger first: "Sister, I want to pinky with you too."

"Go away, you little brat, do you know what pinky promise means?" Cao Xuemeng said to her sister.

Nuan Nuan was scolded by her elder sister, but she was not angry at all. She even smiled and rubbed against her elder sister: "Sister, hurry up."

When Cao Shujie saw the two sisters making noise, he started laughing too.

In the evening, Cheng Xiaolin came back from the park and was a little surprised to see her daughter coming back: "Mengmeng, why are you back?"

"Mom, what do you mean? This is my home, why can't I come back?" Cao Xuemeng pouted, a little speechless.

Who knew that just as she finished speaking, her mother Cheng Xiaolin said, "You and your brother have just been away for a few years, and your father and I have just lived a peaceful life for a few years. Now that you are back, my life has been disrupted again."

Cao Xuemeng: “…”

She thought to herself that this was truly her biological mother.

This time when Cao Xuemeng came back, she stayed at home for two days, then packed her bags and went directly to the fruit wine production factory project department in Yiling City.

Just as her father said, only if she runs this project well will she have the opportunity to further control the core power of Xuemeng Food Factory. Otherwise, who would listen to her when she has no ability and appeal?
Even if Xuemeng Food Factory is handed over to her, I am afraid many people will not feel at ease. (End of this chapter)
