One big and one small are practicing love

With Liu Xiaochen taking care of the children, Zuo Kunmin could devote himself to his work.

It has been almost 2 months since my mother passed away, and I have finally returned to my previous work rhythm.

Get up at 6 o'clock every morning, wash, exercise, eat, change clothes, and go out with the children at 7:15. When I get to the company, I have a leisurely cup of coffee to refresh myself, start working on time at 8 o'clock, and work until I go home around 10 o'clock in the evening.

With relatively sufficient time and energy, in addition to necessary daily work, I am also actively promoting Mr. Lan's projects.

Mr. Lan’s project is similar to Mr. Qin’s, both are equipped with kitchen and bathroom appliances in factory dormitories. Just because one-third of the workers in Mr. Lan's factory are disabled, for the convenience of these people, many product data, construction drawings, etc. need to be modified, which requires more time, energy, and materials, and the cost also increases.

Now, the negotiation has reached the most critical link - the quotation, and Zuo Kunmin is still hesitant.

I know Mr. Lan is a veteran who started from scratch and employs many disabled people and does not want to quote market prices. But the Finance Department said that the price of raw materials has increased, the Human Resources Department said that workers want a salary increase, and the Marketing Department wants to approve more money for promotion.

While considering the quotation, I am also following up on University A's project.

On this day, Zuo Kunmin went to the construction site of University A. Unexpectedly, while driving, a steel bar penetrated the tire and the tire burst. Li Zhiming came to pick him up.

"I think you are just looking for trouble. You finally have some time. You can rest for a while. Why are you always running to the construction site in such a cold weather? You deserve to have your phone fall into a puddle and a tire to blow out." Li Zhiming said in disgust while driving. explain.

"Zhiming, tell the project manager of University A to get a few more lifts."

Li Zhiming glanced at Zuo Kunmin, the co-pilot, and said, "This project is running well, why does it need a lift?"

"Due to pipeline problems, the project was delayed for a few days. I asked the migrant workers who were repairing the pipelines to stay and work. The original elevator was not enough. I was at the construction site today and saw many workers carrying toilets and water heaters climbing stairs."

Li Zhiming said: "I heard the report and the project is progressing smoothly and will not be delayed."

"It's not just a matter of postponement. They all rely on physical strength. If this continues, their bodies won't be able to bear it."

"Alas!" Li Zhiming sighed deeply and said: "Mr. Qin is right, Zuo Kunmin, you are a woman's benevolent, if you continue like this. Needless to say, you will make money from the project of University A. It’s good to lose money.”

Zuo Kunmin patted Li Zhiming on the shoulder and said, "What kind of bad things did Mr. Qin say about me? Please tell me clearly once and for all."

"Let's not talk about Mr. Qin's affairs. The top priority now is how to face Secretary Zhou of the Shenyang Municipal Party Committee. I met with Secretary Zhou and his group at noon. I think they are determined this time and insist on letting you go in person. Shenyang, do some research and give them a clear answer." Li Zhiming said, stopping at the red light in front of him.

Zuo Kunmin smiled and shook his head and said: "Why is Secretary Zhou so persistent? We definitely can't acquire this factory. The common problems of state-owned enterprises in Northeast China are high debt ratio, large number of workers, backward management system, old factory equipment, and heavy burden on the enterprise. He has been losing money all year round. I have rejected him twice, why come again?"

"The country is no longer approving money, the factory is facing closure, and tens of thousands of people are unemployed, which will inevitably cause turmoil. In order to keep the official position, there is really no other way! During lunch, Secretary Zhou kept mentioning your father, saying that your father came from that factory. , your roots are from there. Now that you are capable, you should do something for the people there."

"It seems that going to Shenyang can't be postponed!"

The green light came on and the car restarted.

"Go ahead, we can't afford to offend the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. It's only a matter of two or three days, and I'm here with the company." Li Zhiming said.

"I'm not going to the Star Hotel anymore. Take me home. You can have dinner with Secretary Zhou and the others tonight," Zuo Kunmin said.

Li Zhiming said urgently: "Why don't you go again? Secretary Zhou got angry when I didn't see you at noon. He told me sternly that I must see you in person tonight. Oh! If you don't go now, they are a bunch of people. Big Northeastern people, coupled with your Northeastern people's quick temper, you are pushing me into a pit of fire!"

"On this business trip, I want to focus on solving some problems. In addition to Shenyang, I want to go to Henan Lanzong's factory to inspect it in person and set the price. Then I will go to Ningbo. We encountered some problems in the construction of the factory. I'll see what's going on at the scene and how to make a decision. I'm afraid it will take half a month before I have to explain the matter of the two children to Xiaoxiao," Zuo Kunmin said.

"It sounds like you haven't been on a business trip for a while. However, I heard Xiaorou say that Xiaoxiao takes good care of the two children, better than Aunt Ling. Why are you worried?"

Zuo Kunmin put down his seat, half-lying down, looking up at the flickering street lights on the skylight, and said, "Yes, Xiaoxiao takes better care of her than my mother. The children like her, but I don't know why. I used to When I was on a business trip, I never worried about the children. Now I can’t let go of the children when I’m on a business trip. Maybe it’s because they are so young and I’m afraid that she won’t be able to bear the burden of taking care of them for such a long time.”

"Xiaoxiao has been taking care of me for more than half a month! I think the main reason is that no matter how careless your mother is, she is still the child's grandmother. After all, Xiaoxiao is an outsider with no blood relationship." Li Zhiming said , drove the car and turned around.

Zuo Kunmin suddenly sat up and said, "Zhiming, don't see me off. Go over there as soon as possible to comfort Secretary Zhou. Pull over and put me down. I'll take a taxi back."

While waiting for the bus on the roadside, the cold wind was blowing, and the chill became a bit stronger.

Zuo Kunmin buttoned up his open windbreaker, and the wide band around his waist fluttered in the wind. When getting in the car, the straps of his clothes were caught in the door crack again. Zuo Kunmin was annoyed, so he took off his windbreaker and tied the straps together haphazardly.

Looking at that bloated and ugly knot, Zuo Kunmin was made to laugh.

Remembering that he had always complained about his mother's aesthetic obsession, Zuo Kunmin was in a hurry to go out. Because his windbreaker was not knotted properly, his mother would not let him go out. He lowered his head and tied Zuo Kunmin's knot carefully. He tried several kinds of diamond knots, cross knots, and bow knots. He had to tie the most beautiful knot before letting him go. .

It turns out that my mother was right, details determine quality. If one knot is not tied well, the entire windbreaker will not look good.

I was thinking about the past and didn't realize I was in the community. Taking the elevator from the underground garage to the corridor on the floor, she turned a corner and saw Liu Xiaochen not far away. She held up her mobile phone and opened the iron door and entered the pedestrian stairwell.
