In the summer of 2005, as soon as the kindergarten was on vacation, Huo Tiantian called her uncle and asked Shu Jun to send her back to her hometown. She wanted to catch cicadas, pick water chestnuts, and touch river clams with her aunt and uncle.Shu Jun had never had much resistance to this niece, but picking water chestnuts and touching river clams were both related to water, which posed certain safety risks. He was worried but didn't want to let his niece down, so he could only set a small rule with her in advance.
"Tiantian, you can go back to the hometown and catch cicadas, but it's dangerous for children to play in the water. If you want to eat water chestnuts and river clams, you can only stand on the shore and watch your grandma and grandpa go into the river to catch them. If you can do this, I can go over to pick you up and help you convince your mother."
Huo Tiantian is a little girl who "can't take back what she said". As long as she promised, she will definitely do it. When she heard that her uncle didn't let her go to the river, she seemed a little hesitant, but in the end, the desire to go back to her hometown prevailed, especially when her uncle said that he could help her convince her mother.
If you want to say who Huo Tiantian is most afraid of, it must be Shu Ping.
The little girl was born with a delicate face, so cute that she could melt people's hearts. She also loves to laugh, with big, shining eyes. After she learned to speak, she was very sweet. She called everyone grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt. She got the nickname "Tiantian" and her real name is Huo Qinya.
Children who grow up in a honeypot are prone to spoiled and willful problems. People around them are always playing the good cop, and their mothers have to play the good cop role. Fortunately, Huo Tiantian did not grow up crooked. As her name suggests, she is a sensible and kind child.
When Shu Jun called Shu Ping, she had just finished a meeting and was about to go to the restaurant for dinner. After several years of development, the scale of Hongyuan Food Factory is no longer what it used to be. Except for a few old production lines that remained in Fengxiang Village, the headquarters moved to the provincial capital. Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The company has sufficient cash flow. At the beginning of the year, a piece of wasteland of several hundred acres was auctioned in the suburbs. Hongyuan bought it for 30 million yuan. Everyone thought she bought the land to enter the real estate industry. Until the recent development plan came out, everyone was shocked. What she planned to build was actually an ecological holiday base integrating leisure, entertainment, recuperation, and agriculture.
There is a saying circulating in the top circles of the provincial capital, "This woman is not simple, she is very ambitious."
After hearing this, Shu Ping only smiled indifferently. If she really had ambitions, it would be much easier for her to go through the real estate industry. Who knows the future direction of real estate better than her? The land could make a lot of money in a few minutes if it was used to build a building, but she was just doing what she was really interested in.
This busy city needs a place where people can forget their troubles and release their anxiety.
"Brother, how come you have time to call me now? Have you eaten?"
Shu Jun guessed that she hadn't eaten yet, and said distressedly and helplessly, "I have eaten a long time ago. Are you busy working again without sleep and food? It seems that I have to call Huo Feng later."
Huo Feng's transportation company has developed rapidly. Three years ago, he moved to the provincial capital with Hongyuan and is currently the largest land transportation agency in the province.
If Shu Ping is a workaholic, then Huo Feng is an out-and-out "wife slave" and "daughter slave". Friends joke that he doesn't think about how to expand his business territory every day, but cares about whether his wife and children eat well and sleep well.
"Brother, we are not children anymore. I know to eat when I am hungry. You don't have to go to him every other day to tell tales."
When Hongyuan first moved to the provincial capital, Shu Ping was under a lot of pressure and often forgot to eat. By the time she was hungry, it was already past mealtime, and she soon developed stomach problems.
Huo Feng didn't say anything, but he came to the company on time every day to deliver lunch without fail. He didn't say anything, just watched her eat while it was hot, packed up the lunch box and left. After half a month, Shu Ping couldn't stand it anymore and promised to take good care of herself and never let herself get sick, so he stopped "stalking" her.
Shu Jun smiled, "You are a worry, not as sensible as Tiantian."
Then he talked about sending Tiantian back to her hometown for the summer vacation, and showed his trump card before predicting what she would say, "Tiantian promised not to play in the water, and must listen to her grandparents and do her homework on time every day. The child is still young and is full of curiosity about the world. We are all busy and don't have time to accompany her every day. It's good to go back to her hometown. Isn't that how we grew up when we were young?"
Shu Ping knew that Tiantian must be afraid that she would not agree, so she cleverly moved her uncle as a "rescuer". She didn't know who she inherited this cleverness from.
"Did I say I don't agree, as if I am not her biological mother but her stepmother. Then I will call my uncle and aunt later to tell them not to spoil her too much."
Shu Jun got married late, and his wife is a special teacher. She has been preparing for pregnancy for two years but still hasn't gotten pregnant. Therefore, the Shu family currently has only one child, Huo Tiantian, who is the only one who is loved by everyone.
In the afternoon, Shu Ping went to the suburbs with the design team to survey the site, and the relevant units of the provincial government also sent a director to understand the situation.
"Boss Shu, your plan to build an ecological base is very important to the higher-ups. We have already explained to all departments that everyone should cooperate as much as possible and strive to create a unique ecological business card. This is also another attempt at economic development."
The country has entered a stage of rapid development. In recent years, environmental protection has been neglected in order to develop the economy, which has caused certain negative effects. For the sake of future sustainable development, environmental issues are imminent. Shu Ping's ecological base has appeared at the right time and will soon be able to play a demonstration role and take the opportunity to rectify the heavily polluting enterprises in the province.
"Thank you for the full trust of the leaders in Hongyuan and myself. With the support of the leaders, I believe that the preparation work will definitely go very smoothly."
After returning to the company, Shu Ping held a meeting with the design team to confirm the final design plan. The next step is to conduct the project bidding. She arranged Ye Wei, who has been promoted to assistant to the general manager, to be responsible.
"You have been doing well over the years. I hope you won't let me down in this matter. All teams that sign up for the bidding are not allowed to accept red envelopes or collude in private transactions. Their qualifications and reputations must be verified. Only strength can speak."
She didn't want the money she earned with hard work to not be put into practice, but to fatten a group of rats and come up with a shoddy project. It would be better to just throw the money into the water.
"Sister, don't worry. I have decided to follow you for the rest of my life. How can I ruin my own rice bowl? In addition to the salary deposited into my card, I will never take a cent more."
What's more, Shu Ping has always been a generous boss, especially for Hongyuan's old employees. In addition to the annual salary increase of 10%, the performance is also constantly increasing. Those who are enterprising and capable will be given priority to management positions.
Of course, if an employee has bad intentions, Shu Ping will dismiss him without hesitation. She would rather pay compensation according to the provisions of the labor law to maintain a harmonious working atmosphere within the company.
After arranging the work, Shu Ping signed all the documents before preparing to leave work. She turned her head and looked out the window. It was already dark, and only the street lights in the flowerbed were still on.
She picked up her bag and walked to the door. As soon as she pressed the office button, someone grabbed her arm and turned around and bumped into a warm chest.
Her heartbeat was nervous and "boom boom boom". She subconsciously raised her legs to attack the other person's vulnerable parts. She smelled a familiar pine smell on the tip of her nose. Every time she raised her legs, she reached out and hit the man's chest hard a few times. She was still frightened and angrily said, "You scare me all day long. Sooner or later, I will have a heart attack from you."
Huo Feng smiled and held her soft hand. He lowered his head while interlocking his fingers, and held her soft lips tightly in his arms with his palms holding her slender waist.
This is their sixth year of marriage. When many couples are worried about the seven-year itch, theirs is still as sweet as a couple in love.
After the kiss, Shu Ping's cheeks were slightly hot, and his eyes were brighter than the stars in the dark.
"Why didn't you call me before you came? You're so old and you still want to surprise me."
Huo Feng held her hand and walked towards the elevator, raising his eyebrows and teasing, "The first rule to keep a marriage fresh is to create romance. I thought you bought this book for me to learn."
Shu Ping didn't react for a moment and didn't understand what book he was talking about and what it had to do with her. Suddenly, she remembered that half a month ago, Yu Lu came to the provincial capital. They went to the bookstore after dinner. On the way back, she seemed to have mentioned that she had chosen two books for her to read. When she got home, she put the books on the bookshelf.
Thinking of this, her cheeks burned even more.
"That's not what I bought... Besides, why do you read this kind of book? Are you dissatisfied with our marriage?"
Huo Feng raised his mouth, seeing through her anger and shame. At this time, it's better to go with the flow than to refute.
He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "You will know how satisfied I am when we get home."
As for why he read it, wasn't it to make her more satisfied?
