The leisurely life of a reborn dad

In Zhuang Yonghua's eyes, being able to keep her daughter in Caojiazhuang to work is the same as those people in the old state-owned enterprises.

When her daughter graduated in July, she wanted her husband to talk to Cao Shujie to see if her daughter could stay in Caojiazhuang or go to work in Cao Shujie's factory.

But her husband was too proud to open his mouth. Last time he asked him to do this, it didn't work out in the end.

Zhuang Yonghua didn't count on her husband at that time. During that time, Zhuang Yonghua often rolled her eyes at her husband.

Later, in order to prevent the old couple from quarreling again, her daughter took the initiative to find a job in the city. This incident made Zhuang Yonghua think that Cao Jianlong was unreliable at critical moments and had been the village party secretary of Caojiazhuang for several years in vain.

But she didn't expect that two months after her daughter graduated, Cao Jianlong suddenly called her and said that during the meeting today, Cao Shujie took the initiative to ask her daughter to work in Caojiazhuang Tourism Company, and she could also work part-time for the Caojiazhuang Village Committee to organize some activities and get a subsidy of 1,000 yuan from the Village Committee.

Hearing this result, Zhuang Yonghua burst into tears of joy.

But she also wondered what happened in the middle that led to such a change.

The time was too short, and Cao Jianlong didn't have time to explain it to her in detail on the phone. In the end, he just said that he would invite Cao Shujie to dinner tonight, and other people from the Caojiazhuang Village Committee would accompany her, and asked her to come with her daughter.

Zhuang Yonghua thought to herself, just go, just to ask what happened.

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Yonghua went to another room and called her daughter Cao Shuli: "Shuli, Shuli."

"Mom, you called me?" Cao Shuli responded and ran out of the room.

Zhuang Yonghua said: "Your father just called and said that your brother Jie arranged a job for you in the village committee. Your father will invite him to dinner tonight and let us go together. You quickly change your clothes and go there quickly, so as not to let your brother Jie wait for a long time."

"Village committee work?" Cao Shuli was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

She remembered very clearly that her father was unwilling to speak, so the matter was left unresolved. Why did he bring it up again?

Ah, could it be that his father secretly asked Brother Jie for help for her job?

Unable to figure it out, her mother urged her again and again, so Cao Shuli changed her clothes and went out with her mother.

At this time, Cao Shuli remembered something and asked her mother where to eat tonight?

"It is said to go to Fuxing Hotel in town. Anyway, your father will arrange it, let him pay, don't worry about it." Zhuang Yonghua said.

Cao Shuli wanted to laugh, thinking that her mother was really interesting.

The mother and daughter walked towards the Caojiazhuang Village Committee compound together, and met many villagers along the way. They walked and stopped, and wasted a lot of time.

After coming over, Cao Shuli found that her father Cao Jianlong was standing outside and making a phone call. She walked a few steps to greet him: "Dad, why are you going to eat again today?"

"Didn't your mother tell you?" After Cao Jianlong hung up the phone, he turned his head to look at his wife, his eyes drooped.

Cao Shuli shook her head: "My mom said that Brother Jie arranged a job for me. Dad, what's going on?"

Cao Jianlong quickly told his daughter the whole story.

Zhuang Yonghua came over and listened patiently beside him. After Cao Jianlong finished speaking, the mother and daughter finally understood what had happened.

Zhuang Yonghua also looked at her daughter deliberately: "Shuli, did you tell your dad about that market?"

Cao Shuli nodded: "Mom, I told my dad, but I didn't expect my dad to tell Brother Jie."

"I just told him about this incident by chance. I didn't think it was a big deal, but I didn't expect your brother Jie to take it seriously." Cao Jianlong was also a little dizzy.

He told Cao Shujie four things. The reason why he put the theme market at the end proved that he didn't take it seriously himself, but he didn't expect that Cao Shujie took it seriously the most.

This is called planting willows by accident and getting shade.

Cao Shuli was scratching her head after hearing this: "What should we do now?"

"Shuli, tell your father honestly, do you want to go back to work in Caojiazhuang?" Cao Jianlong asked her seriously.

To be honest, Cao Shuli definitely wants to work in Caojiazhuang.

In this way, it will be convenient to go home, and Cao Shuli is not a woman who only cares about empty talk. She knows that working in Caojiazhuang will bring her many conveniences in the future.

But Caojiazhuang is now a popular place, and it is not so easy to get a job in Caojiazhuang Village Committee or Caojiazhuang Tourism Company.

Even going to work in Xuemeng Food Factory is now more difficult than before.

Cao Shuli didn't want to embarrass her father on this matter, so she didn't show it, but this time Brother Jie took the initiative to talk about her coming back to work. Cao Shuli heard her father talking about the theme market, and then she suddenly realized it, but she didn't think it was a big deal.

"I'm not sure, but it was your brother Jie who said so. He asked me to ask you if you are willing to come back to work. If you are willing, you can join the travel company, and they will offer you 3,000 yuan."

"If you help the village committee plan some activities, the village committee will give you a subsidy of 1,000 yuan every month." Cao Jianlong told his daughter the salary directly.

Just from the salary point of view, Cao Shuli wanted to come back to work.

He found a planning job in a shopping mall in the city, with a salary of more than 2,000 yuan, and she didn't want to do it, but she couldn't find a more suitable job for the time being. Cao Shuli thought about finding a job to make a living first, and then slowly find a suitable one.

But she didn't expect the most suitable job to fall from the sky, which made Cao Shuli feel like pie in the sky.

"Come with me first, your brother Jie will talk to you. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't play tricks with your brother Jie." Cao Jianlong specifically told his daughter.

Cao Jianlong knew that Cao Shujie didn't like people who played tricks.

"Dad, I know." Cao Shuli nodded, still a little nervous, and followed her father in.

At this time, Cao Shujie, Gao Changyin, Lu Ping, Cao Shuchao, Liu Guoqiang and others were chatting in the conference room. When they saw Cao Jianlong coming in with his daughter and wife, everyone laughed.

After Cao Jianlong came in, he said to Cao Shujie: "Secretary Cao, I asked Shuli to come over."

"Uncle Long, you are too polite."

Cao Shujie then looked at Zhuang Yonghua and Cao Shuli: "Aunt, sister, you two should sit down quickly."

After the two sat down, Cao Shujie asked Cao Shuchao to pour water, and he looked at Cao Shuli and asked her about the theme market.

I want to ask her how she thought of this?

Cao Shuli did not hesitate and talked about it on the spot.

It turned out that this matter was related to her college.

During college, a fundraising activity for classmates took place in their school.

However, this fundraising was not a donation in the traditional sense. Instead, the school held a "fundraising theme small market" activity, allowing students and teachers to participate voluntarily. According to the principle of free trade, all the money obtained at the ceremony was used for donations, and the school donated in equal proportion.

In this fundraising market, the prices of the items sold were definitely premium, but there were still many people participating. Everyone wanted to contribute. What they bought was not things, but goodwill.

And in addition to donating, you can also buy some commemorative small gifts at the market, why not.

This incident left a deep impression on Cao Shuli.

After Cao Shujie heard what Cao Shuli said, he suddenly understood, but he still had some things he didn't understand, so he asked Cao Shuli: "Where do the things you sell come from?"

"Brother Jie, these are things our classmates volunteered to give. We have a lot of things we don't need, and it's a pity to throw them away, but we don't know who to give them to, so we took them out as souvenirs and sold them at the market. At the same time, the donation is also a token of our appreciation." Cao Shuli told Cao Shujie this.

She said it very clearly, and Cao Shujie understood it immediately.

When others heard Cao Shuli give this specific example, they understood it instantly. At this moment, they were more interested in this kind of theme market.

Cao Shuchao was also shouting whether to think of a theme quickly. They also took advantage of the fact that Caojiazhuang tourism has not stopped yet to hold a "theme market" to see the effect.

Cao Shujie waved his hand and told him not to rush.

The more such things are, the more you can't be confused, and you must take it seriously.

No one is a fool. If you treat this matter with a foolish mentality this time, you will definitely be backfired later.

Cao Shuli also said: "Brother Jie is right, the theme market must be sincere to each other."

"Shuli, if Caojiazhuang also wants to hold a theme market, what do you think should be done?" Cao Shujie asked her directly.

Hearing Cao Shujie's question, Cao Jianlong and Zhuang Yonghua became nervous.

Gao Changyin, Lu Ping, Liu Guoqiang, Cao Shuchao and others were thinking about what to do?

But they had never been exposed to this aspect, and what they saw and heard also limited their thinking, and they couldn't come up with a better idea.

Before they came up with a good idea, they heard Cao Shuli say: "Brother Jie, I think we can play to our strengths."

Cao Shujie asked him again: "Then what do you think are the advantages of Caojiazhuang?"

Cao Shuli pondered for a while, and then said: "If it is a holiday, we can hold a holiday market or an annual market. We don't sell any fresh vegetables, but sell fruits and fruit-related products, and sell festive things."

"But if there is no festive atmosphere at ordinary times, we can also make our own themes." Cao Shuli said.

She expressed her ideas from the most down-to-earth perspective, saying that she could hold a food market, a handicraft market, and other things.

"These are all too ordinary." Cao Shujie shook his head and denied it.

He felt that this kind of market had no selling point and was not worth paying Cao Shuli a salary of 4,000 yuan a month.

In some ways, Cao Shujie was a fair and impartial person, and what he needed was talent.

If Caojiazhuang wanted to continue to develop, it would not be possible to rely on him alone, and more talents would be needed to join in.

Just like Cao Jianlong and his team mentioned that they wanted to extend the closing time of the park and orchard by 20 days, that is, 20 more days of buying and selling transactions, which shows that Caojiazhuang's tourism economy is completely dependent on his orchard and park. Without these two factors, the so-called Caojiazhuang tourism economy is zero.

That won't work.

This is not what Cao Shujie wants either.

So when Cao Jianlong mentioned the theme market, Cao Shujie had a vague idea in his mind, but he didn't form an overall outline.

He called Cao Shuli over to make up for this link for Caojiazhuang.

Judging from what Cao Shuli just said, it was not enough to meet his requirements.

Cao Shujie was thinking about this matter in his heart, and Cao Shuli continued: "Brother Jie, I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead." Cao Shujie was also curious about what she wanted to ask?

Then Cao Shuli asked: "Brother Jie, I heard that you wanted to tell a story about the mountain we are developing?"

Cao Shujie subconsciously looked at Cao Jianlong. This matter was only discussed at the village committee meeting, and not many people knew about it.

Cao Jianlong was stared at by Cao Shujie, and he was a little embarrassed. He didn't do a good job of keeping secrets.

But for the sake of his daughter, Cao Jianlong straightened his neck and couldn't bow his head.

Cao Shujie admitted: "There is such a thing. Speaking of it, I picked up a broken bottle on the dam. When I went to Beijing last year, I took the bottle to be appraised. I thought it was a treasure, but I didn't know it was worthless."

Hearing Cao Shujie complain about it being worthless, Cao Jianlong and others became interested.

Everyone knows that Cao Shujie is rich. What if what he calls worthless is hundreds of thousands? Millions?

Gao Changyin even asked him how much the thing is worth after appraisal?

"At that time, the appraiser told me that if he met someone who liked it, he could give hundreds of thousands of yuan. If he didn't meet someone who liked it, at most tens of thousands of yuan, I wouldn't even pick it up if it was thrown on the ground." Cao Shujie said so.

The others curled their lips after hearing it.

I knew it was like this. What Cao Shujie called worthless was not the same as theirs.

But Cao Shujie didn't care about these things. He continued to ask Cao Shuli: "Sister, please continue."

Cao Shuli continued to speak along with what Cao Shujie had just said.

She wanted the whole village of Caojiazhuang to learn about the Three Kingdoms culture, especially to find out if there were any handicrafts with obvious Three Kingdoms culture.

In addition to those who set up stalls in Caojiazhuang, there are actually some people who are idle at home. It is entirely possible to gather these people together, let them learn to make simple handicrafts, and organize a market with the theme of promoting historical culture and folk culture.

Cao Shuli only said this, and Cao Shujie began to applaud.

Although it is the same thing, compared with the previous statement, this statement is much fresher and more attractive.

Of course, this is not as good as a theme market that can attract people from other places, but everything has a beginning, just like Caojiazhuang did not have a tourism economy before. It was Cao Shujie who started by planting orchards and attracted people from other places to pick kiwis and apples in his orchards. It took several years to accumulate until now, which led to the current tourism economy in Caojiazhuang.

"Shuli, I'll leave this to you. Do you have confidence?" Cao Shujie asked her again.

Cao Shuli didn't even think about it, and nodded directly: "Brother Jie, I have confidence."

She said it very straightforwardly.

No matter whether it works or not, hypnotize yourself first, otherwise why would others believe you?

Cao Shujie believed what she said: "That's it, you take the time to complete the entry procedures."

"But let's be honest, I also need to assess this. If you don't meet the requirements, I will adjust your work later." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Shuli said "Hmm" twice: "Brother Jie, don't worry. If I can't do it, I won't be able to stay here."

This matter is settled.

Cao Jianlong was so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands. His wife Zhuang Yonghua was also at a loss.

Lv Ping and others were also happy for Cao Shuli.

Gao Changyin also urged Cao Jianlong: "Secretary Jianlong, let's go to dinner. You have to drink a few more glasses tonight."

"Let's go. I just called Boss Wang. He arranged a car to pick us up and send us back after dinner." Cao Jianlong said so.

Cao Shujie and others were not polite either.

When preparing to leave, Cao Shujie called his wife Cheng Xiaolin to tell her that Cao Jianlong was going to treat him to dinner tonight and asked her not to wait for him to eat.

"Shujie, drink less." Cheng Xiaolin said to him.

Cheng Xiaolin knew her husband's temper too well. If she said a few less words, her husband might have to drink a few more glasses.

Drinking is actually okay, but drinking without restraint is not good.

Cao Shujie naturally agreed and said that he would not get drunk.

…

When he was sent back by the car of Fuxing Hotel at night, he was not drunk.

Only Cao Jianlong and Gao Changyin were drunk, and the others did not drink much.

Cao Jianlong was happy that Cao Shujie helped him get this done, so he drank two more cups.

Gao Changyin was not good at drinking, and he got drunk as soon as he drank, and he loved to drink.

When he got home, Cao Shujie told his wife about Cao Jianlong's daughter, and Cheng Xiaolin said, "Why did you think of setting up this market?"

"Promote it, hold it twice more, even if Caojiazhuang does not have these historical cultures, others will believe it, and you can also go there to shoot some videos to promote it." Cao Shujie told his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin felt that this was indeed a selling point, but she always felt that her husband was too optimistic and this matter was not so easy to handle.

Cao Shujie told him: "Don't try to make things grand and fancy right from the start, and don't expect to do it on a large scale right from the start."

"Think about how many people came every day when we first started picking kiwifruit?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin really remembered it. She said: "I remember that there were hundreds of people a day at that time, more than 1,000 people at most, and then one day suddenly four or five thousand people came, and we couldn't accommodate them."

It's not like now that it has stabilized, with tens of thousands of people every day, and even more than 100,000 people on Saturdays and weekends. Such a huge flow of customers not only makes their family earn a lot of money, but also allows the people of Caojiazhuang to make a lot of money by setting up stalls and trading.

"So, take it slow." Cao Shujie said so.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't believe it, and always felt that her husband's mind was not that simple, but Cheng Xiaolin didn't ask much.

The next day, Cao Jianlong took his daughter Cao Shuli to the city to quit her job.

His daughter's event planning job was not an important position, with a salary of 2,000 yuan a month, and she was just a small role. She resigned smoothly and even waived the handover of work.

After going to the dormitory to pick up her personal belongings, the father and daughter rushed back to Caojiazhuang together.

On the third day, Cao Shuli started working at the newly established travel company in Caojiazhuang. The office was still under renovation and there was no fixed office location for the time being.

There were actually a few people like Cao Shuli, all of whom were recruited by the establishment of Caojiazhuang Travel Company. (End of this chapter)
