Chapter 158 The Butterfly Effect
The twins recovered completely within two days. Before Xu Dong could breathe a sigh of relief, he caught a cold himself. Read М
It was unclear whether he was infected by his precious daughters or was infected outside, but he had a fever.
Getting the flu is a bad thing, but not entirely a bad thing.
Look, Xu Dong took the sick note and was ready to ask for sick leave.
"Dong Dong Dong..."
"Come in."
When Section Chief Li saw that it was Xu Dong, he immediately frowned and said, "Why are you here? Are you here to ask for leave too?"
"Uncle Li, I don't want to, but there's nothing I can do. This flu comes when it comes, and it can't be prevented." Xu Dong sighed.
"Nonsense, you are so young, why ask for leave, hurry back to work." Section Chief Li waved his hand.
Xu Dong was a little surprised: "No, Uncle Li, I have a cold, how can I work? It would be bad if I pass it on to other people."
"In our security department, besides you and me, can you count how many people are left?" Chief Li said unhappily.
Last week, seeing that the situation was not right, Xiang Xin simply asked for a long vacation. She was pregnant and had privileges, and no one could say anything.
Then, one after another, five old comrades including Uncle Chen, Lao Fang, Lao Liu and Sister Feng fell ill and had to take sick leave.
Counting Gao Yuemei and Lao Zhu who have already left, plus Lao Jin who was transferred away, there are only four people left in the security department now, which is indeed a bit stretched.
Thinking of this, Xu Dong could only complain: "Uncle Li, Sister Gao, Uncle Zhu and Lao Jin have been gone for so long, why haven't we added new people to the department?"
"Don't think about it, their quotas have been taken back by the head office. The number of people in our department must be controlled within eight people in the future, and there are still two more people now!"
"Why?" Xu Dong said unconvinced.
"Why?" Section Chief Li sneered:
"Go ask those young engineers who are struggling on the front-line construction sites and working overtime day and night, do you think they are really so selfless?"
The power company has taken on many large projects in the past year.
Although the superior department has given a lot of quotas for formal workers, it still can't keep up with the expansion speed, and finally can only slim down by itself.
Departments like the Security Department, which are not too important, are the key "slimming" targets.
But fortunately, there are many elderly employees in the Security Department, and there are several old comrades who are about to retire. The company is still very humane and willing to wait for another two or three years.
"Okay, I didn't say that." Xu Dong got himself into trouble.
"Don't be discouraged. No matter how many people there are in our security department, the section chief is still the section chief, and his weight has not changed." Section Chief Li encouraged him in time.
"Uncle Li, I understand."
Xu Dong naturally understood. He was happy to be able to become a section chief.
"You can go out to work if you have nothing to do. I'll leave the North Gate and the South Gate to you. Work hard and don't make any mistakes." Section Chief Li ordered.
"I'll keep a closer eye on it." Xu Dong nodded and agreed.
"I almost forgot. Tomorrow is the weekend. Don't take a day off. Come to the company to help me watch over it. Your aunt has to have a prenatal checkup this weekend."
"No problem. Is your aunt doing well recently?"
"Not bad. I hired a nanny. Your aunt stays at home all day and doesn't go anywhere. Don't worry too much for the time being." Section Chief Li replied.
"Uncle Li, you should also pay attention to this side!" Xu Dong reminded.
"Don't worry, we have been living apart since last week. I am now living in a hotel outside, so we don't have close contact."
"What about the prenatal check-up tomorrow? The hospital is a severely affected area."
Section Chief Li had already made up his mind: "I got your aunt a set of protective clothing, and the doctor said it's okay."
"That's a good idea!"
...
For the next period of time, Xu Dong went to work and came to get off work on schedule. Due to the lack of manpower, the security department not only had fewer holidays, but also had a lot more work tasks than before.
On March 28, Lao Liu, who had been sick at home, brought bad news. The old comrade eventually died due to complications.
On April 1, April Fool's Day, a piece of heavy news suddenly came out, temporarily dispelling the haze brought by the flu.
From now on, the Greater Capital Circle will expand again.
The scope covers Jinmen, Tangshan, Langfang, Lion City and Rong'an New District.
After this round of eastward expansion, its area exceeded 50,000 square kilometers in one fell swoop, reaching an astonishing 57,600 square kilometers.
It is almost equivalent to half of the area of Minzhou.
When Xu Dong saw the news, his phone rang immediately. It was his sister calling.
"Dongzi, did you see the news?" Xu Ting said excitedly.
"I saw it. Didn't I say it a long time ago? This is a done deal. There is absolutely no possibility of change." Xu Dong looked calm.
"Oh, sister, I really want to thank you. Do you know that just now, the housing prices in our community have tripled directly, which is simply too scary."
"Houses are for living. No matter how much they increase, it has nothing to do with your family. Why are you so excited?" Xu Dong joked.
Xu Ting didn't care: "Haha, our family is also a multi-millionaire family, and there are two of them. Even if Linlin and Xiaoxu do poorly in the future, they will have a net worth of tens of millions anyway."
"Sister, you don't want to think this way. Lingling's academic performance is so good, don't delay the child." Xu Dong reminded her in real time.
"You don't need to tell me, you should take care of Coco and Lele. I heard from my younger siblings that you indulged them both and doted on them very much." Xu Ting complained.
Xu Dong rubbed his temples and joked to himself: "Oh, the two children follow me. They don't have any academic talent. It's me who has delayed them both."
"Just talk nonsense. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to give mom the good news."
After Xu Ting finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Immediately afterwards, brother-in-law Ma Jie also called Xu Dong.
"Hey, brother-in-law, I saw the news."
"Dongzi, my brother-in-law doesn't even know what to say. You have helped our family a lot this time."
Judging from the voice, the brother-in-law was even more excited than the elder sister. It was not difficult for Xu Dong to understand. After all, men need to support their families and are under greater pressure than their spouses.
"Brother-in-law, we are all a family. We really don't need to be so outspoken. Speaking of which, I don't have much credit for this. The key is that you and your wife are courageous."
"Oh, your sister is still brave. She said she wanted to move at first. In fact, I was against it. Fortunately, your sister is the one who makes the decision in our family." Ma Jie said happily.
"Uh, is my sister so strong?" Xu Dong asked curiously.
At least in his previous life, he really didn't see how strong his elder sister was.
Ma Jie smiled bitterly and said: "It was fine before. Whatever happened at home, we would discuss it together.
But since you reminded us to stock up on food, your sister has become more and more aggressive. Fortunately, her choices are all correct. "
Xu Dong finally understood what the problem was.
In the end, it was all because of him. This was the first time he could clearly feel what the butterfly effect was.
