The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

"Uncle, I'll leave first. I'll go home tonight and have to come to the company for a meeting tomorrow." Cao Xuemeng said to her uncle Tong Jiayi.

Her father Cao Shujie, mother Cheng Xiaolin, Xuemeng Food Factory's general manager Shi Jingxiu, and human resources director Wang Zhifeng were all drinking, otherwise they would have had a meeting today.

Tong Jiayi seemed to know about this, and he said to Cao Xuemeng, "Okay, go back early. I'll also go to the meeting tomorrow."

Seeing his niece Cao Xuemeng turning around to leave, Tong Jiayi shouted from behind: "Mengmeng, come on!"

"Uncle, don't worry." Cao Xuemeng was very confident.

After all, she has so many people supporting her. In addition, for nearly two years, she has been independently responsible for a project from project initiation to construction completion. Now it is about to be put into production. For all the things she has come into contact with in this process, Cao Xuemeng has really put them into practice, instead of just building on a blank sheet of paper with fantasies.

When we returned to Caojiazhuang, it was already dark.

When Wang Yuelan learned that her granddaughter would be back today, she had already prepared dinner at home and was standing at the door waiting for her precious granddaughter to come back.

When she saw Cao Xuemeng, Wang Yuelan took a few steps forward, held her granddaughter's hand, and looked her up and down: "Mengmeng, have you lost weight again?"

"Is the work tiring? If so, don't do it. I'll tell you in secret that your grandfather and I are rich and have saved up several cards, all for the three of you."

"It was originally intended for your aunt, but your aunt is not short of money now, and your parents are even less so. I'm not going to give it to them anymore, but to the three of you." Wang Yuelan held her granddaughter's palm with one hand and gently patted the back of her hand with the other, as if she had a lot to say.

Cao Xuemeng could sense the care and worry in her grandmother's words. She put her arm around her grandmother's arm, and the two of them walked home together: "Grandma, I don't want any money. You can spend the money you and grandpa earn on your own. I don't want a penny."

"Besides, I make money now. I have millions in savings, really." Cao Xuemeng showed off to her grandmother.

Seeing the smug look on her face, Wang Yuelan was happy for her: "Okay, okay, our Mengmeng can also earn money on her own, so I'll save this for you as a dowry. When our Mengmeng finds a good son-in-law, I'll give you this money as a treasure."

"Grandma, I don't have a partner yet." Cao Xuemeng hugged Wang Yuelan's arm and refused.

Wang Yuelan knew this, so she quickly patted her granddaughter's arm and said, "Come on, stop shaking. If you continue shaking, my old bones will fall apart."

When Mengmeng stopped shaking, Wang Yuelan continued, "Just take your time to look for it. Don't be in a hurry."

Having lived to this point, Wang Yuelan has experienced everything and has become more open-minded.

My granddaughter is not in a hurry to find a husband. As long as she is happy, that's enough.

"Let's go quickly. Let's go inside and eat first. If we don't eat now, the food will get cold and won't taste good when heated up."

"Okay, grandma, when I'm done with my work, I'll take you out to play for a few days." Cao Xuemeng said excitedly.

Cao Xuemeng knew that her grandmother had been kind to her since she was a child.

But Wang Yuelan said, "I won't go out anymore. When I was still able to walk in the first few years, your grandfather took me out every year and we traveled all over the country. Now I can't walk anymore."

After hearing this, Cao Xuemeng felt very uncomfortable.

Especially during the years when she was studying away from home, she thought she had escaped the control of her parents, was free and unrestrained by anyone.

But little did people know that it was also during those years that my grandparents gradually grew old.

Even her parents are not as energetic as before.

"Old lady, why haven't you and Mengmeng come in for dinner yet?" Cao Jianguo glanced out from the living room and saw his wife still talking to her granddaughter in the yard. He became anxious.

"Right away, I'll talk to Mengmeng. You're the only one who's anxious." Wang Yuelan said to her husband.

Cao Jianguo quickly shut up.

When the grandparents and grandchildren entered the house, Cao Shujie, Cheng Xiaolin, Nuannuan, and grandfather Cao Jianguo were already waiting for her.

As Wang Yuelan and Cao Xuemeng came in, the family sat around the dining table.

Nuan Nuan looked at her sister and said, "Sister, you have to eat more. Dad said you have to carry a load. It's hard work."

"Haha, Nuannuan, do you know what it means to carry a burden?" Cao Xuemeng asked her sister.

Unexpectedly, the little guy said seriously: "I understand, let's do the work."

"Dad still asks me to do work, asks me to get his clothes, razor and shoes, but I won't take any of them. I'm not stupid." Nuannuan has a very good mind.

After finishing speaking, Nuan Nuan looked up at Cao Shujie again: "Dad, feed me."

Hearing her say this, Cao Xuemeng laughed out loud, and everyone laughed too.

The family sat down to chat and eat casually.

It feels like time passes so quickly.

That night, Cao Shujie rarely talked to his daughter about work, nor did he even talk to her about her future love life.

So much so that even Cao Xuemeng felt a little uncomfortable.

When she went to bed, she couldn't fall asleep at first and kept tossing and turning in her thoughts.

It was not until the second half of the night that things gradually quieted down.

Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were in their master bedroom and the couple had not yet gone to bed.

Cheng Xiaolin knew what her husband was thinking and asked him, "Shujie, are you really determined to push Mengmeng up?"

"Have you thought about this?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.

He said firmly: "Mengmeng can lead a project from initiation to completion, which shows that she is already capable of leading Xuemeng Food Factory. She just needs to continue to hone her skills, which takes time."

"At the meeting tomorrow, it will be announced that Mengmeng will be one of the deputy general managers of Xuemeng Food Factory. In the last three years that Shi Jingxiu is the general manager, I will let Mengmeng be exposed to more things and learn more about the business." Cao Shujie stated this fact with a smile.

But because of this, Cao Shujie's smile seemed a little cruel to Cheng Xiaolin.

She was a little uncomfortable and subconsciously pulled the quilt over her body. She asked her husband, "Don't you think this is a bit too cruel? She just graduated three years ago and you pushed her out."

"Haha, how could that be? Wife, have you ever thought about it? Mengmeng has wanted to take over from the beginning, and I didn't force her to do this."

"Besides, Xuemeng Food Factory is so big. No matter what happens in the future, at least before I'm alive, I can smoothly hand over the power to Mengmeng, to her brother, or to Nuannuan in the future. It's up to them. By then, I might be gone. Whatever the three siblings want to do, can I still crawl out of the pit to stop them?"

"But before that, before Mengmeng completely controls the Xuemeng Food Factory, she has to take on this responsibility," said Cao Shujie.

Cheng Xiaolin is almost 50 years old. She understands all these things, but she always feels that this is too cruel to her daughter. She thinks her daughter is still at the blooming age of youth, but she has to bear such a heavy responsibility.

The factory directly affects more than 200,000 people, and indirectly affects hundreds or even tens of millions of people.

In a sense, this is an empire. Can Mengmeng do it?

Cao Shujie was not worried and told his wife: "Go to sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, the sun will rise from the east and set in the west as usual. Nothing will change."

Cheng Xiaolin opened her mouth and felt that what her husband said was so easy.

But if you think about it carefully, this is actually the case.

Mengmeng should take advantage of her youth to continue to hone her skills in different positions. It doesn't matter if she makes wrong decisions or goes in the wrong direction in the process.

Because her husband Cao Shujie is still alive and well, the "faith" of Xuemeng Food Factory is still there, so there will be no problems.

But if they think Mengmeng is still young and not yet capable of shouldering such a big responsibility, then when one day the couple are gone and Mengmeng is still unable to take on the responsibility, that would be a devastating blow.

Don’t you know how many people are eyeing the fat piece of meat of Xuemeng Food Factory? But Cao Shujie is still alive and well, so they dare not show their fangs and claws.

Unlike others, Cao Shujie really dares to overturn the table, and many people have experienced this several times.

A new day has arrived, it is a sunny day with a suitable temperature, which makes people feel happy.

There were already cars from other places coming outside, and the sound of noisy voices could be heard, as well as the sounds of people hawking things from the cars, instantly splicing together a scene of worldly life.

These are people who come here for tourism. They come here early because they are afraid that if they arrive late there will be no place to park, or that there will be too many people waiting and it will be too fun.

Cao Xuemeng slept soundly in the second half of the night. She got up early in the morning, washed up, and watched her family happily eating breakfast together. She also joined them and felt that this kind of life was more comfortable.

"Mengmeng, eat quickly. After eating, let's go to the company." Cao Shujie said to his eldest daughter.
-
Cao Xuemeng quickly responded and promised: "Finish it right away."

"Well, how are you? Are you nervous today?" Cao Shujie asked his daughter.

Cao Xuemeng said with a smile: "It's okay, Dad, don't worry, I have seen all kinds of storms and waves, this is just a small scene, just sprinkle some water."

"Okay, I think it's okay if you have this mentality." Cao Shujie was very satisfied.

After packing up, Cao Shujie put the snacks prepared by his wife back at home, took only his black thermos cup, and got into the car with his daughter. Xu Weipeng drove them to Xuemeng Food Factory in Qingshi Town.

Ou Shangyun and Bao Xuefeng were in the two cars at the back.

Over the years, Xu Weipeng, Ou Shangyun and Bao Xuefeng have been doing their best to protect the safety of Cao Shujie's family. Cao Shujie no longer treats them as simple employers and bodyguards. Many little things in life make Xu Weipeng and the other three even willing to die for Cao Shujie.

But Cao Shujie also told them: "Remember, the three of you, your lives are your own. If it really comes to that, run away quickly and save yourselves first."

We came all the way to the Xuemeng Food Factory in Qingshi Town. The whole Qingshi Town seemed to feel that their 'God of Wealth' had undergone a major change today. The town was surprisingly quiet without the usual bustle, and everyone was quietly doing their own business.

As Cao Shujie's car entered the Xuemeng Food Factory, the atmosphere inside the factory became lively.

For the employees in the workshop, they felt at ease as soon as they saw Cao Shujie appear in the factory.

It was Cao Shujie who single-handedly brought Xuemeng Food Factory to where it is today. Without Cao Shujie, there would definitely be no Xuemeng Food Factory today.

……

After hearing the news that the boss's car had arrived at the factory, Shi Jingxiu and others hurriedly took the management staff who had already arrived at the company to go downstairs to pick them up. However, they did not expect that Cao Shujie had already walked up from downstairs holding the hand of his daughter Cao Xuemeng.

Many people saw the scene of Cao Shujie holding Cao Xuemeng's hand, which also caused a small sensation in the office building.

They all knew that Cao Xuemeng was Shi Jingxiu's assistant general manager, but many people had never thought that Cao Xuemeng was actually related to their boss Cao Shujie. After all, there were many people with the surname "Cao" in Xuemeng Food Factory.

After seeing this scene today and looking carefully, some people found that Cao Xuemeng and their boss Cao Shujie have very similar facial features. Then it suddenly dawned on them.

After all, Cao Xuemeng's development in the Xuemeng Food Factory was too fast. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was a college student who had just graduated not long ago. After coming here, she directly became the assistant to the general manager. The key point was that she was also personally in charge of a project. All these unreasonable things were explained after understanding the relationship between the boss Cao Shujie and Cao Xuemeng.

In addition, at this time, a "smart person" had already come out to announce the father-daughter relationship between Cao Shujie and Cao Xuemeng. Everything seemed to be natural, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that some things were prepared in advance.

This is called building up momentum!

Cao Shujie's office is on the top floor of the Xuemeng Food Factory headquarters office building. In addition, there is also a comprehensive conference room on this floor which is not usually open to the public.

This conference room is also where Cao Shujie convenes company managers to discuss major company decisions.

However, in the past two years, Cao Shujie has rarely stayed at the Xuemeng Food Factory, and this conference room is rarely open to the public.

There is always someone special to clean the place.

The door of the conference room was opened again today, as if waiting for its owner to arrive.

Cao Shujie brought his daughter Cao Xuemeng to his office.

Seeing this familiar office, Cao Xuemeng immediately looked at the sofa in the reception area of ​​the office.

More than ten years have passed, but the sofa in that position is still the same and has not changed.

The first thing Cao Xuemeng remembered was that when she was in primary school in the town, she would come here for lunch break most of the time, and she would sleep on that group of sofas at that time.

Cao Xuemeng thought her father had replaced the sofa long ago, but he hadn't.

Cao Shujie even told his daughter with a smile: "Mengmeng, when you were in elementary school in town, you always took a nap in my office. The sofa is still there."

"Dad, this sofa is not comfortable at all when I sleep on it. You haven't replaced it with a new one?" Cao Xuemeng asked proactively.

But Cao Shujie told him: "Change, change, change. You only know how to spend money on new ones. New ones are free. Besides, I have used these furniture for more than ten years. I can't bear to throw them away."

Cao Xuemeng firmly believed what her father Cao Shujie said. In fact, she could understand why her father did this.

But precisely because she understood it, Cao Xuemeng felt even more guilty.

I always feel that I wasted several years by remaining rebellious at an age when I should have been sensible.

"Dad, what do you think if I graduated a few years earlier and came back to work at Xuemeng Food Factory directly?" Cao Xuemeng asked her father curiously.

But Cao Shujie didn't even think about it and said directly: "If that's the case, you may need more time to exercise, but I can't spare so much time now, so Mengmeng, you have a heavy task on your shoulders."

This sentence made Cao Xuemeng feel a heavy pressure, but she also felt her father Cao Shujie's recognition of her.

At this moment, time seemed to be going too fast. Cao Xuemeng really wanted to grasp time in her hands and make it go slower, but time is the most ruthless and fair thing and cannot be changed by anyone's will.

Shi Jingxiu came personally to call Cao Shujie to the meeting and told Cao Shujie that all managers and above in the company were present.

"Then let's go to the meeting." said Cao Shujie.

Shi Jingxiu and Cao Shujie were walking together, and Cao Xuemeng followed behind them. Listening to her father and General Manager Shi talking while walking in front, Cao Xuemeng was thinking in her heart, what should she do after today?
Cao Shujie's office and the conference room on the top floor were not far away, so he arrived soon.

The three of them entered the conference room together, and Cao Xuemeng met many familiar faces there.

Her uncle Tong Jiayi, Fu Xianghui, another person in charge of the nutrient solution project, Wang Zhifeng, director of the human resources department, Hu Yong, current senior manager of the purchasing department, and even Lian Qijian, general manager of the steel ball factory, came.

There are many familiar faces.

These people were originally sitting in the conference room chatting or reading documents, but when they saw Cao Shujie, Shi Jingxiu and the other two come in, they all stood up tacitly and looked at Cao Shujie and the others as if they had received a signal.

Looking at their neat movements and serious expressions, one would not suspect that they were putting on a show.

"Everyone, please sit down." Cao Shujie waved his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone sat down together again.

Cao Shujie, Shi Jingxiu and Cao Xuemeng also sat down in the three seats reserved on the spot.

These people are all the brave and powerful generals that Cao Shujie has gathered over the years. Although Cao Shujie's heart has been very calm after cultivating his mind and character in the past two years, he is still a little proud.

He single-handedly built the Xuemeng Food Factory from a small factory processing agricultural and sideline products in a township to its current size. Crucially, he also boosted the local economic development and increased the income of local people. Compared with some people who only talk but do not act, Cao Shujie thinks he is great.

"Everyone, do you all know what we are going to do today?" Cao Shujie's voice was very gentle, as if nothing would cause him to fluctuate too much.

No one spoke at the scene, Cao Shujie continued: "Xuemeng Food Factory has developed to this day. Whether in terms of scale or business coverage, it has become a leader in the industry. As the founder of Xuemeng Food Factory, I am very happy about this."

This one sentence declared sovereignty and made everyone present straighten their attitude and put away their little thoughts.

No one spoke. They continued to listen to Cao Shujie: "The current world situation is unpredictable and the market is changing rapidly, but I believe that as long as our Xuemeng Food Factory adheres to one principle, makes our products well, and corrects our attitude, we will be able to survive in this complex and ever-changing market."

"So I have always asked everyone to ensure the quality of their products. If we can't even maintain this most basic bottom line, it wouldn't be surprising if Xuemeng Food Factory disappears one day in the future."

"Over the years, the rapid expansion of Xuemeng Food Factory's business scale also shows that the principles we adhere to are correct and our general direction is correct."

"..."

Cao Shujie slowly, as if recalling the past and looking forward to the future, talked about the next market plan of Xuemeng Food Factory. At this stage, Cao Shujie spent 20 minutes sharing his own views. Everyone on the scene listened carefully, and everyone wanted to analyze the next development from Cao Shujie's words.

After Cao Shujie finished talking about the company's general direction and policies, he went on to talk about each sub-sector.

Xuemeng Food Factory is now involved in many industries. It is no longer just the earliest deep-processing agricultural and sideline products and preserved fruit series, but also includes nutrient solution, fruit wine, juice production, and other related in-depth industries.

There are even flour mills and steel ball factories that were acquired as additional companies.

It is not wrong to say that the current Xuemeng Food Factory is a giant enterprise relying on the deep processing of agricultural and sideline products. This enterprise has even extended to multiple industries.

It can even be said that a decision made by Xuemeng Food Factory will affect the price fluctuations of products in the overall market. In a sense, Xuemeng Food Factory has pricing power in the food segment, which is the most important manifestation of their status as a physical giant enterprise.

"In order to adapt to the company's future development, we are now making partial adjustments to the company's current management."

Everyone present was cheered up, realizing that the highlight of the day was about to begin.

Who doesn’t want a promotion and a raise? And holding great power is really fascinating.

After Cao Shujie finished talking about the basic framework, Wang Zhifeng, director of the Human Resources Department, stood up and handed the drafted list to Cao Shujie. After Cao Shujie read it and nodded, Wang Zhifeng said, "Everyone, the boss has always emphasized that the development of Xuemeng Food Factory cannot be separated from the joint efforts of everyone in the company."

"On this point, the boss has always asked our HR department to promptly discover talents who can make significant contributions to the company and never let them go to waste in useless positions. Over the years, the HR department has worked diligently and has always adhered to the boss's earnest teachings and guidance, and we dare not forget them."

"On this sunny day today, Xuemeng Food Factory has another group of outstanding talents who are about to be promoted. I will convey this message to you."

At this point, when Wang Zhifeng saw everyone's eyes converge on him, he felt a little proud inside, but he did not stand out, and continued: "After a long-term investigation by Xuemeng Food Factory, it was reported to various departments of the company for confirmation, reviewed by the general manager's office, and finally approved by the boss. We are now planning to adjust the job positions of the following personnel."

"At the same time, we also hope that these people can continue to maintain greater passion in their new jobs. I am looking forward to hearing more about your achievements at the year-end performance target meeting."

Having said that, Wang Zhifeng did not say any more clichés, but started reading the list directly.

"Lian Qijian, the former purchasing manager of Xuemeng Food Factory, is now the general manager of the steel ball factory. Under his leadership, the steel ball factory's products are of guaranteed quality and quantity, and the company has been committed to research and development and overcoming difficulties. The turnover of the steel ball factory has changed from a loss when it first took over to an annual revenue of 37 billion yuan..."

"After investigation and review by the head office, it is proposed to promote Lian Qijian to deputy general manager of Xuemeng Food Factory, concurrently in charge of production operations, sales, etc. of the steel ball factory. His original position will remain unchanged."

No one expected that the first person to be promoted today would be Lian Qijian.

Moreover, many people present had complicated feelings, as Lian Qijian entered the Xuemeng Food Factory later than them.

Even when they were already in leadership positions, Lian Qijian was just an ordinary employee of Xuemeng Food Factory.

But no one expected that this young man would come from behind and rise like a rocket to the position of deputy general manager.

The key is that he is still leading a project outside. Even if the scale of this project is not large, Lian Qijian obviously has more development prospects than them.

After the applause, Wang Zhifeng continued to read the rest of the list.

There is the promotion of Hu Yong, as well as the promotion of Tong Jiayi and Fu Xianghui.

As for the promotions of those grassroots staff or middle-level managers who were not present, according to Wang Zhifeng, these lists will be sent to the entire factory by email later. At the same time, the heads of each department will bring the promotion lists of their respective departments back to their subordinate employees to read out the good news.

Although their positions remain unchanged, these department heads are happy that their subordinates have made new progress, which means that the company has not forgotten their efforts and recognizes their contributions.

Just as everyone else was happily thinking about how to celebrate tonight, Wang Zhifeng continued, "Cao Xuemeng is a senior talent introduced by the Human Resources Department. After joining the company, she served as the assistant to General Manager Shi Jingxiu, assisting General Manager Shi in handling the Yiling City fruit wine production line project. The entire project has a total investment of over 50 billion yuan. Under the leadership of Assistant Cao, we actively contacted various resources. After unremitting efforts, the first phase of the project with an investment of more than 13 billion yuan was officially accepted yesterday and small sample production was carried out. We look forward to this project shining in the future development, and also to supplement the fruit wine production capacity of Xuemeng Food Factory and create more success."

"The company's management has unanimously agreed to promote Assistant General Manager Cao Xuemeng to Deputy General Manager of Xuemeng Food Factory, who will be responsible for the Yiling Fruit Wine Production Line. We look forward to implementing the Yiling Fruit Wine Production Line Phase 3 construction project as soon as possible under the leadership of Deputy General Manager Cao, solving the problem of fruit wine shortage for Xuemeng Food Factory and providing sales guarantee."

"Next, let us all applaud and welcome the promotions of the above personnel!"

After Wang Zhifeng finished speaking, most people at the scene paused for a moment, as if the fuse had blown and the current was blocked.

But Cao Shujie was the first to stand up and applaud in welcome, and Shi Jingxiu followed suit.

Tong Jiayi, Fu Xianghui, Hu Yong, Lian Qijian, Wang Zhifeng, Fan Hailiang and other people who knew the inside story stood up and applauded, and more and more people followed suit.

Some people were just wondering how Cao Xuemeng was able to rise so quickly and become the deputy general manager of Xuemeng Food Factory at such a young age.

However, when they saw their boss Cao Shujie being the first to stand up and applaud, and the company's "core management personnel" following suit, these people realized that they were behaving irrationally again, which was really unacceptable.

As for why Cao Xuemeng became the deputy general manager of Xuemeng Food Factory, even Cao Shujie did not say anything against it. So what qualifications do those who rely on the Xuemeng Food Factory platform for their livelihood have to doubt it?

Those who know the truth also understand that this is the first step for Cao Shujie to transfer his power to Cao Xuemeng.

I believe there will be many similar meetings in the future, and Cao Shujie will gradually transfer his power to her until Cao Shujie believes that his daughter can fully manage Xuemeng Food Factory, but that will definitely be a long process. (End of this chapter)
