February 1960, 2, the dragon raised its head

Cao Zhihua came to the Chinese Bank with his younger brothers and sisters early in the morning.

Today is the day to make an appointment with Li Renxing for acceptance.

After exiting the elevator, Cao Zhihua saw the front desk of his company. The gray-white marble wall blocked all views of the inside.

The company name and logo on the stainless steel wall make the company look very grand and high-end, giving people the impression that this company is not simple at first glance.

Cao Zhihua looked around and saw that the entire company was indeed entered and exited as he had imagined, only through the front desk. He nodded with satisfaction and walked inside.

Cao Zhihua looked at the entire floor, which was wrapped in gray carpet according to his own requirements. It was very comfortable to step on.

Continuing to walk inside, there is an office area of ​​about 150 square meters.

Cao Zhihua walked around the entire office, looked at all the offices, conference rooms, and indoor circuits and tried them all, and found that there was no problem.

Finally, I came to my office. There was a small room next to the office where the secretary worked. I entered my office, which has a 60-square-meter office area and a 40-square-meter rest area. The rest area has a bathroom, shower, and sink.

Cao Zhihua turned around a few times and saw that all the walls were painted with the latest white paint. The whole office looked very bright. He felt that the decoration was pretty good and said to Wang Fanghua:
"Boss Wang, the decoration is very good. We can go through the handover procedures. I will pay you the remaining money."

Wang Fanghua was very surprised that Cao Zhihua was so easy to talk to, and immediately smiled and said:
"As long as Boss Cao is satisfied, you are in the real estate business. Please take good care of our business in the future."

Cao Zhihua immediately laughed and said:
"Definitely, definitely, I will continue to come to your company if I have needs."

After handing over to Wang Fanghua, Cao Zhihua and his three children began to make a list of office equipment that needed to be purchased.

After counting, Cao Zhihua took the three little ones to the furniture market on Hollywood Road.

Hollywood Road was famous for its huanghuali furniture in later generations.

Cao Zhihua bought here a 3.5-meter-long and 1.6-meter-wide huanghuali desk, a huanghuali bed frame and spring mattress, two huanghuali coffee tables, a dressing table, and two huanghuali bedside tables. , one single leather sofa and two long leather sofas.

Let the store owner arrange delivery to the company for installation, and leave other procurement of office equipment to the three little ones.

After Cao Zhihua arranged his office, the three little ones also returned to the company and began to direct the placement of office equipment.

After a busy day of work, after having a roast duck in the backstreet of Chinatown at noon, the five of us worked together until 5 pm, and finally put everything away.

Cao Zhihua looked at the entire company that had been laid out, and he felt so proud that he could finally let go and get started.

Early the next morning, Cao Zhihua first went to HSBC to open the company account and transferred 3000 million working capital to the company's account.

Next, I went to the phone company to apply for phone service. After selecting the company number, I spent some money and asked the phone company to come to my door immediately to install it.

Wait until the company's eight telephones are installed in the afternoon.

Cao Zhihua immediately went to Oriental Daily and Ming Pao and directly asked for advertisements on the front pages of the two daily newspapers.

Spend a lot of money to recruit the company's general manager, marketing manager, real estate designer, human resources manager and secretary to the chairman.

Cao Zhihua plans to build the company's high-level framework first, and the subsequent work can be handed over to them.

Back home, looking at the sunset hanging on the sea by the swimming pool, Cao Zhihua asked the maid to call the three little ones over and said:

"The company will start recruiting employees tomorrow and it will be operating normally. You three have decided whether to go to school or work in the company?"

Big Gouzi said:

"Brother, the three of us have thought about it and unanimously decided to work for you."

Cao Zhihua nodded and said:
"Working is very hard, and you don't have to do it at all. Just don't regret it in the future."

The three little ones nodded in unison and said:
"Brother, we can endure hardship and we won't regret it."

Cao Zhihua looked at the sunset and said nothing. After thinking for a while, he said:
"Xiaoyu, start commuting with me to get off work tomorrow. Big Gouzi and Er Gouzi, starting from tomorrow you will change your names to Shen Guo and Shen Jun.

We also had to move to the Lou family's tenement house, which was close to the company and convenient for work, and our relationship would not be exposed. "

Da Gouzi and Er Gouzi nodded and said:
"Brother, we know this and have been mentally prepared for it."

"Are you sure you don't want to think about it anymore? It's so comfortable at home. You can continue your studies. There is no need to suffer like this."

"Brother, we are all 17 years old this year. How can we enjoy such a good life with peace of mind? It is not easy for you to raise us from childhood to adulthood. I have made up my mind this time. I will definitely do it. Work hard and achieve results."

Cao Zhihua nodded silently, took out 4000 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong paper from his pants pocket, divided it into two parts and handed it to his two younger brothers, saying:
"Starting from tomorrow, you will live alone. This is the living expenses that my eldest brother has prepared for you. Tell me after you have spent it."

Da Gouzi and Er Gouzi did not have any money, so they took the money from Cao Zhihua and said:
"Brother, starting tomorrow we should wear the old clothes we brought from Four Nine City to work. The clothes you bought for us on Hong Kong Island are too good to wear to the company."

"Okay, but there is no need to wear old clothes. Those styles are too old and not suitable for work. You can just go to a clothing store and buy two sets of cheaper suits for work."

"Okay, brother, we will move early tomorrow morning, then buy clothes and daily necessities, and officially go to work the day after tomorrow."

"Well, how are you doing with your driving lessons?"

The three little ones just talked about driving, and they were so happy that even the sorrow of separation was washed away a lot.said:
"Brother, the three of us and the two sisters-in-law have learned it, and all of us have gotten our driver's licenses."

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and said to Xiaoyu:

"Xiaoyu, are you going to call your two sisters-in-law?"

Xiaoyu must have thought of something and immediately said:

"Okay, big brother."

After Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xueru arrived, Cao Zhihua said:

"You've got your driver's license, why didn't you tell me?"

Lou Xiao'e blushed and said a little embarrassed:

"This is all a trivial matter for us. You've been busy with company matters lately, so we can't disturb you."

Cao Zhihua looked at Lou Xiao'e and shook his head speechlessly, saying:

“When I’m busy outside, I’m also busy for my family and for you. I hope you live a happy life.

I have agreed to buy you a car a long time ago, but you didn't tell me even after learning about it. This makes me very frustrated. "

Chen Xueru and Lou Xiao'e held Cao Zhihua's hands with moved faces and said:

"Aren't we afraid of causing trouble to you? We know we were wrong and we won't do it again."

Cao Zhihua nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Come on, let's go to Central and buy you a car first, and then come back for dinner."

Lou Xiao'e was a little dumbfounded and said:

"The car dealership should be closed now, right?"

Cao Zhihua slapped his head and said with a silly smile

"Yeah, look at my head, I'm stupid."
