Chapter 1638 Extra Green Plum 24
After Qiao Lili returned home, she heard Zhao Xuan say that the weather was hot and she couldn't review her homework at home, so she hoped to turn on the air conditioner during the day.
"How can you be so ignorant, kid?"
"You're home alone and you're still thinking about turning on the air conditioner." Qiao Lili looked at Zhao Xuan disappointedly, "Forget it, just turn it on if you feel hot."
"I'm thinking about where I can save this money." Qiao Lili looked worried.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Xuan remembered that she was so willful that she had to sign up for cram school and piano lessons. "Mom, it's okay. I'm not hot. I can bear it."
She can't be willful. Her parents really spent a lot of money on him. Zhou Kai is still their son, and she hasn't seen how good his parents are to him.
"By the way, didn't you go to Zhang Yu's house before? Why is she still angry now?" Qiao Lili had heard Zhao Xuan say that they went to and from school together every day, and thought their relationship was easing.
Why does it seem like their relationship hasn't improved yet? Qiao Lili feels that this is not good news.
"It can't be said that there was no easing, at least we were joking around. But, Mom, you know, that idiot Zhou Kai actually asked Zhang Yu how she did in physics and chemistry in the exam." It was such a good opportunity, but it was ruined by this idiot.
Qiao Lili was dumbfounded. "I, I don't know what he is thinking."
"I had to say that before, otherwise how could my relationship with Zhang Yu become strained." Qiao Lili used to think that Zhou Kai was quite good and better than his parents, but now she feels that like parents, like children.
Zhao Xu also didn't understand. "Zhang Yu studied liberal arts. For a science major, he just needs to pass. I don't understand why he has to ask this question."
"She's just as out of tune as her mother. By the way, did you know that Zhang Tao and his wife resigned from the factory?" Qiao Lili remembered that there was something important that she hadn't mentioned.
Zhao Xu was very surprised. "Why would they want to quit when everything is fine?"
"What will we do when they get old after I leave?" Zhao Xu knew that Zhang Tao and his wife made money by running the restaurant, but he couldn't just ignore them when they get old.
"Now they can pay their own pensions, and since they don't run a restaurant, they can pay in the name of the restaurant."
"But these are not the main points. Do you know what the main point is?"
"Notify the factory directly. The limit for the order they have is only 3,000. If it's over 3,000, you either don't eat or pay the bill."
Qiao Lili really admired Zhang Tao and his team for daring to inform the factory in this way.
Zhao Xu was quite surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that everything was normal. "The factory has signed so many bills before, and this time they said that I can use my house as collateral, and the price is higher than the market price."
"That's fine, but they even said that they would take over a whole row of shops. That's pretty ugly of them."
"I was fooled once, why would I be fooled a second time?"
"Besides, people outside are saying that the factory is going to be demolished. Who wouldn't be jealous of Zhang Tao getting rich soon? Let alone other things, who wouldn't be jealous in the factory? How could the factory director and secretary not be jealous?"
Who wouldn't be jealous if they could make a lot of money by reselling it? "When the time comes, just order as much food as you can and don't pay for it. Will Zhang Tao take the blame?"
Zhao Xu was also very dissatisfied with some of the practices in the factory. "The funding required product research. If there was no money, there would be money for eating and drinking and going out for inspection."
"When I went out to inspect, I found that they were all the leaders of the factory. After going out to inspect, they talked a lot, but what's the use of it?"
Zhao Xu got angry just thinking about it. "Zhang Tao fixed the water and electricity, and they just resigned from the factory. The factory had no way to control them at all."
"But they don't think about the fact that if they do this, the factory leaders won't come to their place for dinner to see how their business is doing." Qiao Lili feels that they are only concerned about the immediate benefits and don't think about the future.
"What should I do? I don't pay the money I owe you, I don't pay for groceries, I don't pay for water and electricity."
"Besides, they are not stupid. Once the factory is demolished, they will get the money and will they still be able to move with the factory?"
"That's impossible. Just watch carefully. They will definitely open a restaurant somewhere else."
"As for the factory leaders, when they invite us to dinner, how much can they ask them to sign?"
"They might not even give them 3,000 yuan. Didn't you say that last time the secretary went to a big restaurant to treat people, they didn't recognize you as the so-called secretary at all. They just said one sentence, pay up or they won't let you go."
"It was so embarrassing at that time that the Finance Department arranged for someone to deliver the money overnight."
"Just wait and see. In the end, the factory leaders will give in." Zhao Xu understood those people's thoughts too well. "Originally, the store belonged to the factory. No matter how unwilling Zhang Tao was, he could only receive the factory leaders. Now the store is directly his own. Do they need to give you face?"
"Don't give them face at all. No matter how unwilling and noisy the factory manager and his men are, they can only accept the three thousand limit unless they take the money to eat out."
Zhao Xu actually felt a little disgusted with the behavior of his leaders, but so what? He was just a small engineer.
When Zhao Xuan first heard Zhang Tao's request, she wondered if Zhang Tao had gotten too rich to come up with such an idea. She would definitely fail this time.
After the analysis of the old man, the only one who finally gave in was the factory leader. "Mom, will the house be demolished?"
Looking at Qiao Lili expectantly, Zhao Xuan really hoped that the house would not be demolished, otherwise it would be too unfair.
Qiao Lili sighed softly, "The city has no objection. After all, this developer was brought in by the city through investment promotion."
"They all have their eyes on this piece of land. In fact, our factory has always wanted to develop our factory, but there is not enough space, so we have been dragging our feet."
"Now there is such an opportunity. We can change the location and renovate the factory without any funding from above. How can the leaders not be happy?" Qiao Lili felt irritated just thinking about it. "Now going to work is just a matter of walking a few steps."
“Once we move the factory, we don’t know how far it will be, nor do we know when we will move.”
"Xiaoxuan and her friends will have a problem with food." Qiao Lili felt a headache just thinking about it. "It will be too expensive to eat out."
This is another considerable expense. Qiao Lili felt very upset when she thought about having to spend an extra two hundred dollars every month.
"That can't be helped." Zhao Xu remembered something that a classmate had mentioned before, "One of my classmates is now doing well in a private foreign company, and the salary seems to be quite good."
Are you going to work for a foreign company? Qiao Lili's eyes lit up, "How much is the salary?"
"I don't know, probably around 3,000 or 4,000 a month." Zhao Xu didn't know much, "But if I go to work there, I have to rent a house, and that would cost several hundred."
"Does the company provide any subsidies?" Qiao Lili was not very satisfied when she heard the salary.
Zhao Xu shook his head, "There is no such subsidy."
Qiao Lili was even more dissatisfied. "Why is the salary so low? Aren't foreign companies said to have higher salaries?"
"My academic qualifications are not good enough. I only have a junior college degree." Although he is an engineer, he only has a junior college degree. In the 1980s, he was assigned to a factory. His academic qualifications were sufficient, but now he can't show off his academic qualifications when he goes out.
"No." Qiao Lili said bluntly.
