Earthy President

Wake up to another day!

Before I got up early in the morning, I received a call from my family. It was from my elder brother, saying that the house was still a bit chaotic and asked me not to go back for the time being. He told me to go back and then go back.

That's okay too.

Thank you for waking me up so early to tell me the news, I can still sleep after hanging up the phone, so kind.

After hanging up the phone, I sat on the bed for 5 minutes thinking about life.

Derek was also woken up, sat on the sofa and watched me silently for 5 minutes, probably he was not looking at me, but thinking about life.

After all, it's only five o'clock in the morning.

After 5 minutes, Derek and I both thought about the end of our lives, got up one after another, said good morning, changed our clothes, and squeezed together in the bathroom to brush our teeth and wash our faces.

When Derek was rinsing his mouth, he blew me away. He meant that my family must have done it on purpose. They are now trying to form gangs and collusion against me while I am away. Since I have been woken up, They should go back and destroy their plots by surprise.

This silly vase, who has been with me for so long and is still so naive, didn't he wake up to what happened last night?The people who want to collude have colluded 800 years ago, and now it is [-]:[-] in the morning and [-]:[-] in the evening, to me, there is not much difference.

Derek was not convinced, and insisted on arguing with me: "You mean that Ji Er jumped off the building on purpose? I think it was an accident. Even if they had a plan, there would be no such link in the plan. It's too risky, Ji. Two, they won’t agree. So now their plans have also been disrupted, so they don’t let you go back now, they are rushing to pave the road, maybe they are trying to persuade some old people. If you want to fight, at this time you You can't give in. Unless you really want to not fight, then you pretend I didn't say it, and I support you."

Fight, of course we have to fight.To be a human being is to have a sense of responsibility, and to be an entrepreneur is to have a sense of mission as an entrepreneur. There are so many people waiting for me to eat.

But not this argument.

I spit out the mouthwash, took his wrung towel and wiped my face, and turned my head to look at him: "I told you, you can't confine your vision to a small area when doing things, you have to take a long-term view. Until now, do you still think that this is just a civil turmoil in the family, and there is no outsider to intervene?"

Derek frowned, looking at me in surprise.

Ugh.

Bai grew his scheming face.

"Who made the mysterious phone call Ji Er made before jumping off the building, and who instructed them to do so," I asked Derek, "Based on what you know about people like Ji's family, do you think this is like their method?"

Derek hesitated and said, "Like, yesterday's bullshit and swearing, it's kind of like it."

"..." I coughed, "I'm not talking about this, I mean, why Ji Er jumped off the building, this is a key question. You know, and I know, Ji Er is not a person who has the courage to jump off a building, why did he jump. He Before jumping off the building, I told him that as long as he tore up the agreement to give 2% of the dry shares to his wife, I would treat the whole thing as never happened, and I would help him settle all the loan sharks and scams. The stock is still his, and everything remains the same. In this case, why did Ji Er jump off the building?"

Derek thought for a while, then whispered: "Someone suggested him to do this, or threatened or tempted him to do so. But for him, money is very important, and life is more important. Even for money, he would not Make it this far."

"Yes, I've been thinking about it all night, but I haven't figured it out." I handed him the towel, watched his long, bony fingers rub the towel under the water column, and continued, "I always feel that something is wrong, but it's I don’t have the right idea. Ji Er’s jump from the building was an emergency, but it’s not an emergency. The person who thought I’d step down must have been planning for a long time, and it’s impossible that Ji Er was the only trigger.”

But I sit upright as a human being, honest and law-abiding, dedicated and civilized, pay taxes on time, and never take bribes. The only one who has tried unspoken rules is the one in front of me.There will not even be a scandal, unless you have to say that I am a scandal, otherwise there is nothing else. It's clear.

Besides, I shouldn't have any enemies.Doing business pays attention to harmony and wealth. Although I am not the kind of image that makes everyone smile and feel like a spring breeze, I know it myself, but the partners who deal with me always say that it is safe and reliable to deal with me. There has never been blushing, thick neck, In the situation of turning against each other, even if the cooperation fails to achieve benevolence and righteousness, I should have no enemies. After all, everyone is busy making money these days and there is not enough time. Not many people like Xiang Nai have no reason to dislike me.

——Xiang Nai?

It shouldn't be Xiang Nai either.Xiang Nai did have ill intentions towards me, but he should be too busy to take care of himself right now. He still sent me a distress signal. How could he have the ability and energy to frame me? If he framed me, he would have to find someone else to save him.

Then start from the motivation, why do you want to harm me?Not for personal enmity, that is, for money?For the shares of Ji's enterprise that I hold?But even if I give up the shares, my family will not transfer my shares to the outsider boss behind the scenes, right?

So, what does the boss behind the scenes want?

I was still thinking about it while I was sitting on the couch, Derek already cooked me a poached egg with the rice cooker he just bought last night, served with a bowl of noodles, hot, sprinkled with green onion and sesame seeds, look It looks very nice.

I held the noodle bowl and picked up the noodles with chopsticks, and Derek turned on the TV to show me the morning news, and then he sat down and ate.

I ate and felt something was wrong, and I glanced at Derek: "We can't go back to Ji's house, why don't we stay at your house? Why stay at a hotel?"

It's all so homely, and I don't need a rice cooker to get everything done when I go to his house.

Derek bites his noodles and looks at me.

People are good-looking, this posture also seems to be shooting an advertisement.

A few seconds later, he bit off the mouth and smiled: "I'd forget if you didn't tell me."

Then, there was no further text, and he lowered his head and continued to eat noodles.

This means that he doesn't want to invite me to his house at all.

I went to his house after I bought it. I went to see it when it was just renovated. Later, when I wanted to go, he took strict precautions, pretended to be stupid, and refused to let me go. It’s not that he usually lives in my house. Going back to clean it means I'm considering renting it out.

Oh, the golden house hides the charm.

It must be like this.

We have been friends for more than ten years, and he refuses to go to the house for a while, so that it makes my heart ache, as if I can tarnish his innocence by going there.

Forget it.

I resentfully continued to watch the news.

After breakfast and watching the news, I dealt with company matters and asked Derek to accompany me to the hospital to see my second brother.Yesterday it was said that I was in a coma, the situation is not optimistic, and it will not be good if I wake up, but it doesn't matter, there is hope in life.

Derek was not very happy, and said: "I guess the troublemaker will be there too, you go, it is easy to cause a commotion."

Do you still need him to remind me of this?But it's even worse if I'm cold like this, and it's even possible that the elite forces are all in a meeting to discuss how to deal with me. Where can I watch my second brother when I have time, and they won't be used to making noise in the hospital.

I said, "It's okay, let's go."

He strongly disapproved, but he couldn't compete with me, after all, I was the boss.

As I expected, there was indeed no one guarding my second brother, so I hired a nurse to accompany him.

The nurse had no enmity with me. Hearing that I was from the Ji family, he sat down and continued playing with his phone.

I sat by the hospital bed and looked at my second brother, feeling very melancholy and emotional.

He was really nice to me when I was a kid.

Although he speaks and acts so exaggeratedly now, his words are true. When I was a child, I was bitten by a dog, and it was indeed he who ran three miles behind my back.When I was sitting in the circle under the trees in the forest and drenched in the rain, he was the one who led the people to find me first.

So it's hard for me to accept why he would misinterpret my meaning like that on the phone, and even bet his life on me.

To be honest, if I really want to take away my shares and money, I am sad because I am sad, and if I don’t want to, I am reluctant—whoever is not sad is willing to be a true god, I am not, I am just an ordinary person—but the thing that really hurts me It's the people who do it.

my family.

It doesn't matter if our relationship has been bad all the time, the problem is that I always thought that our relationship is very good.

I feel so from the bottom of my heart.

Even if there are some disputes at ordinary times, these are unavoidable things. No matter how close people are, it is inevitable that there will be daily disputes. As long as there is no fundamental conflict, it can be resolved, and it will be fine if it is resolved.

I really didn't expect that the fundamental contradiction would be money.

Money is of course very important, but the current situation in our family is not that a penny kills a hero. Everyone is rich. It is not a problem to wear gold and silver every day, eat well and drink spicy food. Why do we have to fight like this?

This problem has troubled me for many years. Every time I see news about the grievances of wealthy families, I am extremely puzzled.

There is a big difference between one dollar and 1 yuan, but is there a big difference between 5000 million and 6000 million?

One dollar can starve people to death, but 5000 million won't.

If I were a son of a wealthy family, to be honest, the inheritance would be divided into 1000 million for no reason, and I would just enjoy life with it. It would be nothing in the sky, and I would fight back and forth with lawsuits. , it can't be spent anyway.

Of course, I don’t feel pain in my back when I stand and talk, and it’s probably a variation of why not eat minced meat. Whatever it is, I won’t be allowed to encounter this situation anyway, so I’m just beeping to myself.

I sat with my second brother for a while, mainly because I was in a daze. He is now in a severe coma. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I come or not.

The doctor patrolled the ward and was a little surprised when he saw me: "Senior Ji?"

I saw that he was a junior from the medical school next door to the university, and his acquaintance was average, but now that my second brother is under his command, I still exchanged warm and hypocritical greetings for a while, mainly asking him to help take care of my second brother's situation.

There was nothing else to do, so I left the hospital with Derek and went to a nearby suburban factory to inspect the situation.The first factory we went to was the first factory in my family.I was very proud and emotional when I was able to win this factory. After all, it was the first factory and the beginning of my career.

What I am even more proud of is that I have left it behind - this factory is located in a place with excellent scenery, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it will be developed sooner or later. Once it is developed, I will have to earn a demolition fee.

Ah.

My money does not come from internal strife, it is earned.

Forget it, there is nothing to be proud of, I am so unpopular.

The timing of my visit coincidentally coincides with lunch time, and there are workers going to the cafeteria with bowls in front of me. When they saw me and Derek, they greeted me one after another, making me feel like a guest, and I was dragged into the cafeteria by them. For dinner, the small stove was not turned on, so I took two canteen lunch boxes to pack the food and delivered it.

Of course, you can’t blame them. I stipulated that, except for the partners, the rest of the Ji family will eat in the canteen when they come to the factory, so as to avoid some people bringing their relatives and friends to the factory to eat, drink and reimburse each meal. Thousands of things.Even if you want to spend more than a dozen yuan per meal in a cafeteria, you won't lose much.

"I didn't know Mr. Ji was coming. There was no sugar in the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which were salty, so I didn't beat them."

"Mr. Ji has a strange taste, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and sugar."

Who has the wrong taste!

Derek also laughed, betrayed me every minute, and said, "Yeah, Mr. Ji has quite a strong taste."

I think they are talking nonsense with their eyes open, trying to fight against me. The operation of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and salty salty made me suffocate. I once suspected that the canteen chef thought the salary was underpaid.

"Would you like to fry two more dishes?"

"Yes, Mr. Dai is even more picky."

Sometimes it's not that they don't report, it's just that the time hasn't arrived.But I vaguely felt that something was wrong, why didn't I tell me that I wanted to cook a small stove when I was missing a dish, and he would cook a small stove for him when he was picky?That's a little too much, just because he talks more than me?

Derek smiled and waved his hands: "No, just eat like this."

Everyone just sat in the cafeteria and started eating, and they didn't take my boss too seriously. They chatted a few words, how to eat and chat in twos and threes.

After dinner, Derek and I went to the factory to have a look. The new design for the next quarter is being put into the first batch of production. The head of the production department is more cautious. Every time the production of new products is tight, in his words In terms of sales, it is better to sell less than not to sell.

It's no secret that the person in charge of the warehouse particularly likes the head of the production department of No. [-] factory.

The head of the production department accompanied me and Derek to look at the production line. There were samples on the shelves beside the wall. I looked blind at some small accessories and asked what was going on.

Although I can check many designs, I don’t show them all. After all, small commodities are hard to say. It is unrealistic for me to be responsible for thousands of small designs.

The minister explained: "These are selling well. Although I also think they are ugly, some people think they are cool."

Oh, OK.

The minister said again: "But Mr. Ji, to be honest, I really can't afford to let your second brother be in charge of the raw materials. Last time, there was a problem with the raw materials, and the goods were almost rushed out. Later, I worked overtime. I went to him not for anything else. Let’s allocate some overtime pay. He refused to allocate it. In the end, I didn’t bother you. I had a quarrel with the factory manager Chen and the first factory It was allocated from other expenses. I am not suing. Let me confess first. Anyway, I will definitely send the money to the workers. Need overtime pay'."

I nodded: "You didn't do anything wrong, Chen Chang is only for the overall situation."

"I know, I don't blame Lao Chen." The minister continued, "Also, can your third sister stop meddling in the design and development? This department has nothing to do with me. I have to do it all, and the things that are made cannot be sold, and the cost is spread on our production department, which is unreasonable."

I said euphemistically: "The product is sold well, and the profit is also related to the production part."

"No, I'm not saying that we can only be good or not bad. The problem is that the design and development department themselves are afraid of your third sister!" Tell her behind her back, but really, Mr. Ji, you don’t know, she is not suitable for our first factory, and ours is not a high-end line. Engraving the name of the designer, we sell bracelets for [-] yuan at a cost of [-] cents each, what are you doing so high-end? Can you go to a jewelry store to engrave your name?"

I:"……"

I explained with difficulty: "I knew about it, so I denied it. But she was only thinking about the designer, and she didn't think too much about anything else. After the explanation, it's fine."

"What, I told you that it's okay, but not us. You scolded us for a long time, saying that our technology was backward. Later, your fourth brother heard about it and pretended to check the accounts for half a month. It has to be said that we were greedy for the cost in the middle, just to not engrave a word. The problem is that we did not find out that we were greedy, but found out that your second brother's batch of raw materials wasted two sums of money, and I was also Getting angry, I asked him if he should report this well, and your fourth brother pointed at my nose and scolded me."

Derek said: "Routine auditing, let the fourth young master follow along to get acquainted, Brother Cheng, don't think too much. The fourth young master has a bit of a temper, and when he went back, Mr. Ji also told him about it."

No, I haven't heard of it.

Of course I don't recognize this at this time.

Minister Cheng waved his hand: "Okay. But the moth is here again! Your third sister passed a batch of things, and I won't talk about the design and copying of big names. We are not completely innocent about this matter. The problem is, there is no such thing as that batch. It is necessary to copy, that batch of goods is special, and those who can buy and buy basically buy the original brand, the market is not suitable, we are afraid that we will not be able to make money back on the start-up cost. I don’t listen, I can’t explain clearly, I have to dump the data with me, It is said that the sales are much better, and the genuine products sell well and are not expensive. Are you sick to buy our counterfeit ones? Just to sell so few last orders, we have to open a new line."

I:"……"

Derek said: "This is also denied. Generally speaking, Mr. Ji can understand and see through these things, so he didn't put pressure on you, and he denied them all."

Oh, I actually don’t know all these things, probably Derek gave me the no or no, after all he has been with me for so many years and has some experience, so there is no need to ask me about these things that should be no at first sight.

Also because of this, I think he has really polished a lot, so I specially planned to open a new line for him, and let him try his hand. If he can be alone, I will let him fly freely.

I haven't been successful for more than ten years, and I don't expect it in the future. Let go as soon as possible, and you will still be a good master and servant when you meet.

Minister Cheng babbled on for a while, mainly complaining, let him finish, Derek said that I knew what was in his mind, and he was satisfied, waved his hand and continued to stick to his post.

On the way back, Derek said with a smile while driving: "I shouldn't have come this trip, Mr. Ji's ears are callused, right? Minister Cheng likes to complain."

I didn't speak, and looked back at the first factory that was getting farther and farther away.

This is all my life.

I may not be able to recognize all the new employees, but the old employees all recognize them. I have invited all the department heads to have dinner at home, and I take them to get together during the holidays. They are very familiar with each other. .

I looked away, turned back, leaned against the back of the chair, and didn't speak.

The car stopped suddenly, and Derek looked back at me with a complicated look on his face, and said for a while, "Mr. Ji, are you okay?"

Of course I'm fine, what can I do.

I just suddenly wanted to talk.

So I said, "Actually, when I was in the hospital, I was thinking, or I'll quit."

Everything is just starting from scratch, I am not a person who can't afford it.What's more, after withdrawing the shares, I still have a considerable part of my private property, and I will make a comeback in minutes. Thinking about it, there is nothing worth selling.

It can't be sold if it's miserable, this is the only miserable place.

However, I don't want to part with the first factory, or even the second factory and the third factory.

Derek said: "If you don't want to quit, don't quit."

I didn't speak.

These are all my affairs. He can say these things from the standpoint of my cronies, but the final result needs to be decided by me independently.Probably my family is right, I am indeed a person who is used to being arbitrary, and that may be why I am so annoying.

Derek is also very aware of this point, so he didn't continue to persuade, and changed it to say: "Actually, when you feel uncomfortable, it's okay to cry a little bit. I loved to cry when I was young. My brother said that men can't cry. This is pure nonsense. After crying, I feel better." A little, good for the body, excrete waste."

It's all said, I tried hard, but I didn't cry in the end, I closed my eyes and said, "Drive."

Derek didn't say anything else, and I felt the car start up again.

Gradually, I couldn't cry, but I wanted to sleep, so I fell asleep by leaning on it.

I didn't sleep too deeply, I can vaguely feel the car driving into the parking lot, probably back to the hotel, but Derek probably saw that I fell asleep and didn't wake me up, just quietly waiting for me to wake up.

Alas, at such a time in the novel, a princess will come and carry me back to my room.

Forget it, if he really wants to do something like this, I will quickly reject it. I'm still very embarrassed. People in the hotel come and go, so if they see my face, don't ask for it.

I was still thinking about this while dreaming in a daze, when suddenly I heard the phone ring, I squinted my eyes to answer it: "What's the matter?"

My fifth sister said in a low voice on the other end of the phone: "Xiao Wu was detained by them, afraid that he would give you a tip-off. Brother, the second brother is dead. You should come back as soon as you heard the news from the hospital. They said You are going to participate in some meeting in this city in a few days, and you plan to suppress the news to keep you from knowing, and then go to the meeting place to make trouble, so that you can't get off the stage."

At this point, my first reaction was to ask if my second brother died normally.

But I resisted the urge, and instead of scaring my fifth sister with this, I just said, "Okay, feel better about yourself."

"En." Fifth Sister quickly hung up the phone.
