The leisurely life of a reborn dad

Looking at William and his party, Wang Xueli felt conflicted.

Before, William and his party had no news at all, and Wang Xueli was also worried that this project would fail again.

After all, he had already highlighted this investment project in his work report. If it failed, where would he put his face?

Now William brought people here again, and this time he was very sincere.

But during the communication, William also revealed that they were indeed more interested in acquiring a large factory, and according to William and his party, the larger the production scale, the better.

But the problem is that there is only one largest agricultural and sideline product processing factory in Yiling City, and there are several other much smaller ones.

Even Wang Xueli knew that Xuemeng Food Factory would definitely not sell it. Besides, its annual sales volume is more than 8 billion, while William and his party only invested 300 million US dollars, equivalent to 2 billion yuan, which is far from enough.

When Wang Xueli and William and his party had an in-depth discussion on this issue, the two sides went back and forth and put forward their own views.

As for the enclosed piece of land, William did not say what the next move would be.

But Wang Xueli also showed his tough attitude. He also told William and his team that if the land continued to be vacant and no construction was started, according to the relevant legal provisions, they would take it back after the prescribed time limit.

There are clear provisions in the legal provisions in this regard, and it was also clearly stated when they were discussing it.

This time the negotiations between the two sides seemed to end unhappily.

But Wang Xueli knew that since William and his team had come, there must be follow-up.

As for William and his team who had always wanted to acquire a ready-made factory, Wang Xueli actually didn't want to participate in the follow-up.

He felt that if he continued to get involved, it would be a big trouble for him.

It's not worth it if he got involved because of this.

And when he heard that Cao Shujie's sister was going to get married, Wang Xueli was also thinking about whether to arrange someone to go there at that time?

There are not many private enterprises with annual sales of more than 8 billion in Yiling City. More importantly, the network of relationships behind Cao Shujie is complicated.

Although the relationship between them is not so harmonious, they still have to do the surface work.

…

Cao Shujie also knew that William and his party had come to Yiling City to meet Wang Xueli again, but Cao Shujie had understood it now. On the surface, he no longer took the other party seriously. Privately, Cao Shujie still arranged people to continue to pay attention to the movements of this group of people.

As for the hundreds of acres of land that had been enclosed in the suburbs, Cao Shujie was also curious about how they would deal with it in the end.

Cao Shujie despised the other party strategically and valued the other party tactically.

But for Cao Shujie at the moment, the most important thing was for his sister to get married as soon as possible, and other things could be put aside.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law had been back for three days. With the help of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, it was faster to prepare the dowry for his sister.

During this period, Cao Shujie also went to the city.

But in the past few days, many people also called Cao Shujie to ask about his sister's marriage.

Including many leaders in Pingyuan County, including some leaders in the city, this also surprised Cao Shujie. He didn't expect that they were still paying attention to this little thing in his family.

Some people also expressed on the phone that they would come over on the day of the wedding.

But someone also politely told Cao Shujie on the phone that he was going on a business trip recently, where he was going to study, etc.?

He told Cao Shujie in an apologetic tone that he could not come at that time, but he would let others convey his feelings.

Cao Shujie did not expect this result.

After he told his parents about this matter, Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo, the old couple, were a little at a loss.

They didn't know what to do?

A group of leaders were coming to their daughter's wedding. How should they receive them at that time?

"Shujie, why don't you tell them and forget it." Cao Jianguo said to his son.

Wang Yuelan did not stop it this time. She also meant the same thing.

And Wang Yuelan also realized that it was her daughter's wedding this time, but this favor would be returned by her son in the future. Wang Yuelan felt that this was wrong.

But Cao Shujie told them: "They have already said they will come. It's not good to call them to stop them now. Just come. It's just an extra pair of chopsticks for eating."

When Cao Jianguo heard his son say this, he said: "Then you have to tell your sister as soon as possible and ask them to book a few more tables. If there are not enough tables at that time, it will not be good to add more tables temporarily."

"Okay." Cao Shujie called his sister Cao Huifang.

When Cao Huifang received her brother's call, she was shopping with Tong Jiayi in the city.

When she heard her brother call and say that many leaders from the county and the city would come to attend the wedding banquet on the day of their wedding, Cao Huifang and Tong Jiayi were dumbfounded.

They have never enjoyed such treatment.

But they understand that those people came for his brother Cao Shujie's face, and it has nothing to do with them.

After hanging up the phone, Cao Huifang said to Tong Jiayi: "We have to book a few more tables."

"Book it, I'll call the hotel as soon as possible. It just so happens that when I booked with them, I told them to reserve a few more tables." Tong Jiayi was somewhat relieved.

When he discussed this matter with the hotel, he actually considered that there were too many variables on his brother-in-law Cao Shujie's side.

He didn't know many people in Yiling City, and the most important ones were his colleagues in the factory.

The family knew how many relatives would come over, but the only thing that made him feel uncertain was his brother-in-law's connections.

Just like the city and county leaders who were coming this time, they all came for the sake of his brother-in-law Cao Shujie. Could he refuse to receive them?

"Or else, order 10 more tables and see what happens when the time comes." Tong Jiayi said to Cao Huifang.

Cao Huifang hesitated, but didn't say much. In fact, her brother was very vague on the phone just now and didn't give a specific number of people.

If they order 10 more tables at once now, will they be able to use them in the end?

"It doesn't matter. Even if we can't use them at that time, we can return them on the same day. It's just a 200 yuan penalty." Tong Jiayi said so.

This little money is a small matter for the two of them, but if there are not enough tables on that day, it will be a loss for the brother-in-law.

Cao Huifang didn't say more, and she was still thinking that if there were fewer people coming than they thought, she would let them sit in different places.

It's not a big deal.

…

For many ordinary people in Yiling City, they don’t care about Cao Shujie’s sister’s marriage, and it’s even too far away for them.

But they care about another thing, that foreign investor came to invest in their city, and everyone is discussing how much more money this new factory will buy their fruits at after it starts production.

Some people have been looking forward to the construction of this factory so that they can go there for interviews and work and enjoy higher treatment in foreign companies.

But after chatting, many people found that there was no follow-up.

I heard that the place where the factory was fenced off for construction has not been started in the past few months, and no foreigners have gone there.

This result made those who have been waiting dumbfounded.

Even the media that had been promoting that the foreign investor would invest about 2 billion yuan before have collectively lost their voices.

It’s as if this matter came to an abrupt end, leaving many people at a loss.

However, after a few months of silence, the media began to report the movements of this foreign investor.

Moreover, the news released this time was even more explosive. According to the content of the news, the other party wanted to directly acquire a large factory and start production in the shortest time. According to the news released by the media, the other party had already contacted several factories.

This made those who were looking forward to foreign investment happy again.

But they wondered, if the other party acquired other factories, what would happen to the land?

However, this was not something that ordinary people considered at all. Many people simply wanted to sell more fruits they grew.

There were even more people who wanted to work in this factory and earn more wages and bonuses.

In the field of deep processing of agricultural and sideline products, the company with the best treatment in Yiling City was naturally Xuemeng Food Factory in Qingshi Town. However, Xuemeng Food Factory did not easily recruit people now, which also made those who wanted to find a good job very distressed.

…

On the morning of the 29th, for most people, today was no different from the past.

As the end of the month approached, many people were looking forward to the end of this month so that they could get their wages for next month.

But for Cao Shujie's family, today was very busy.

Tomorrow is the wedding day of Cao Shujie's sister Cao Huifang.

All the preliminary work has been done, just waiting for this day to come.

Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo, the old couple, set off early this morning and went to Yiling City to help their daughter.

Cao Shujie did not join in. He was thinking of going there early tomorrow to avoid the trouble of going back and forth.

Besides, it is not very far from Caojiazhuang to Yiling City in more than an hour.

Cao Shujie and his eldest and second brothers are chatting around their grandfather at this moment.

The three brothers formed a semicircle, surrounded their grandfather, and talked about what they saw and heard.

Because Cao Zhenghu was not in good health, he had not gone out with his grandsons in the past two years.

Listening to the descriptions of the three grandsons, Cao Zhenghu seemed to be swimming with them himself. The wrinkles on his wrinkled face seemed to be stretched out, revealing a kind smile.

He kept smiling and didn't say anything. Cao Shubin also suggested: "Grandpa, after Fangfang gets married, you can go to Anyi with me to live for two days."

"No, why go? It's good to be at home." Cao Zhenghu shook his head and refused.

In his words, he knew his current physical condition.

When Cao Shuxin was thinking about saying a few words to persuade him, Mengmeng ran in from outside. Seeing her father, the first and second uncles talking to the old grandfather, her eyes moved very quickly, and she was eager to try and said: "Grandpa, I'll push you out to play."

Cao Zhenghu nodded after hearing it: "Okay, let's go."

He liked to get along with Mengmeng and liked to take Mengmeng out for a walk.

But he is not like before, he can still walk by himself. Now he is tired after walking a short distance and has to sit in a wheelchair.

"Dad, please make way. I want to take Grandpa out to play." Mengmeng said.

She waved her little hands and started to chase people away.

Cao Shujie couldn't do anything with his daughter, so he quickly got out of the way.

When brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin saw this, they all laughed happily.

They also thought this little niece was very interesting.

Looking at Mengmeng pushing her grandfather out, Cao Shubin said, "Did you notice that Mengmeng is quite sensible now?"

Cao Shuxin nodded and said, "Of course, Mengmeng has grown up now and is a big kid."

"Shujie, will Mengmeng continue to study in Qingshi Town? Have you considered sending her out?" asked the eldest brother Cao Shubin.

Cao Shujie did not hesitate at all and told his eldest brother: "Let's talk about it later. She is still too young now. When she is older, if she likes to go to school somewhere else, it will not be too late to arrange it then."

"My wife has been teaching her other things, and she usually learns a lot." Cao Shujie said to his eldest and second brothers.

Mengmeng did not learn nothing. On the contrary, Mengmeng learned more than most children of the same age.

This is thanks to his wife Cheng Xiaolin.

No matter how busy she is, Cheng Xiaolin will take time to accompany Mengmeng to study.

The brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin nodded and did not mention it again.

The wind swayed the branches, the sun gradually rose into the sky, and Mengmeng also pushed the old grandfather back in a sweat.

After seeing this, Cao Shujie went to help her daughter. Mengmeng excitedly described to her father where she had gone with her grandfather this morning.

After she finished speaking, Mengmeng turned her head and looked at her father, waiting for his praise.

Cao Shujie gave his daughter a thumbs up at the right time: "Mengmeng is awesome."

"Humph!" Mengmeng hummed with some pride.

They had lunch at home at noon.

They had to leave early tomorrow morning, so they didn't go anywhere in the afternoon.

However, Cao Jianlong came to Cao Shujie in the afternoon, meaning that they also wanted to go to Yiling City together to attend Cao Huifang's wedding tomorrow.

And Cao Jianlong also specifically told Cao Shujie: "There is no one else, just the people from the village committees of our seven villages, Caojiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang, Taodong Village, and Qingyun Village. As for the others, we will invite them together when Fangfang and the others return home."

Cao Jianlong also knew that Cao Shujie was not greedy for this little thing, so Cao Jianlong also told Cao Shujie everything about this matter.

"Uncle Long, how are you going?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Then I heard Cao Jianlong say: "I have arranged a bus. We will take the bus tomorrow morning."

"What if I don't agree?" Cao Shujie asked back.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Jianlong was not angry at all. He smiled and said: "I will pretend that I didn't ask you. We will go by ourselves tomorrow morning."

"Haha!" Cao Shujie was speechless.

He looked at Cao Jianlong very seriously: "Uncle Long, thank you!"

Cao Jianlong also laughed. He said to Cao Shujie very sincerely: "Shujie, what are you thanking me for? To be honest, compared with what you have done for us, we are just running errands with a mouth. It's nothing."

"Besides, Fangfang's marriage is also a big event for our Caojiazhuang."

"If we don't have more people to go, it will give him more momentum. If her husband's family bullies her in the future, it will seem that we have no one. Don't you think so?" Cao Jianlong said very seriously. (End of this chapter)
