The good news that followed made Chen Baosheng happy, and also made the company's chairman Luo Min determined not to sell the shares of Shengjie Technology. During this period, Lu Qiang, the director of the park where Shengjie Technology was located, even asked larger officials to lobby Luo Min about the matter, but she still decisively refused.
Continue to promote the company's listing and reach a consensus among the senior management of Shengjie Technology.
Just before Shengjie Technology's Hong Kong stock market listing, Chen Baosheng and the company's vice president Cai Hua went to central China. Chen Liang drove there this time. The three of them visited branches in several provinces and cities they passed along the way, which was considered a work visit.
Although the general manager of Huazhong Company has been replaced by Li Canghai a long time ago, in the past two years, Huazhong Company's efficiency has ranked first, and it has been the mainstay of Shengjie Technology's performance in the past two years.
All this is due to several projects of the previous state-owned enterprise. This time Chen Baosheng and Cai Hua went together to attend the delivery of the state-owned enterprise project and the opening ceremony of the second project.
After all, it's an old relationship. Just like last time, after the ceremony, Chen Baosheng and Ou Weiming, the CEO of the state-owned enterprise, naturally drank wine and socialized, and then discussed and exchanged ideas on the next development plans of the two companies. What's more important is that when Chen Baosheng was about to leave Huazhong Company and return to Shencheng, Ou Weiming also warmly invited Chen Baosheng to his home to attend his family banquet.
Chen Baosheng knew that Ou Weiming, as the head of a state-owned steel plant that managed more than 500,000 people, had great power and influence that could not be underestimated. People in local governments and enterprises lined up to curry favor with him. A leader like him naturally rarely invites people to his home for dinner. It was a great honor for me to finally invite him, and his relationship with this person was naturally unusual.
This time, Ou Weiming made an appointment with Chen Baosheng and two comrades from their unit who had retired at the same time. After Chen Baosheng and two other comrades were invited to his home, Ou Weiming's wife was cooking in the kitchen with a smile on her face, while Ou Weiming helped greet the guests and invited everyone to the balcony to drink tea and crack melon seeds.
Most importantly, Ou Weiming also asked his daughters Ou Yangyang and Ou Feifei to dance and play piano for Chen Baosheng and two other comrades. His two children, the older one is thirteen years old and the younger one is only six or seven years old. Not only are they good dancers, they also play the piano well. And he is very polite and polite in dealing with others.
Looking at Ou Weiming's two lovely daughters, Chen Baosheng was deeply moved. He knows that although his economic conditions have improved now. But there is still a huge gap between the living standards of Ou Mingwei, the boss of a state-owned enterprise. This gap is not a gap in income. For example, in state-owned enterprises, if they are not paying bribes to get side jobs, their income is a fixed salary, which is an annual salary of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. In fact, this is not as good as Chen Baosheng's income in the company.
However, other people's education and training of children, as well as the importance they attach to education, are far beyond their own. Chen Baosheng can see that this gap will also bring about the gap between the next two generations. Other people's children are fully developed, but their own children stay in their hometown and can only live with their parents. For him, let alone dancing, he definitely doesn’t even know what a piano is like.
Thinking of this, Chen Baosheng couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
So on the way back to Shenzhen from Central China, Chen Baosheng asked Cai Hua to fly back to Shenzhen from Central China, and he and his driver Chen Liang took a detour back to his hometown. All in all, Chen Baosheng has not returned to his hometown for more than two years.
Although I have not come back, my home is still the same as before, a dilapidated village and a lifeless farmyard. Although the roads have become smoother and the environment has become more beautiful, people's lives have not changed at all.
Chen Baosheng has built a new house at home in the past two years, and he is doing well in Shenzhen, and the news has long been spread back. Especially when he drove the driver home this time, he immediately became the focus of the village.
The car was parked at the canteen at the entrance of the village. A group of young men and women with their legs crossed, chatting and smoking, surrounded him.
"Baosheng, I heard you've made a fortune outside? You're awesome."
"No, no, just a worker."
"Come on, you're still being modest. Now the drivers are here."
Chen Baosheng smoked and smiled apologetically: "My colleague is on a business trip to the provincial capital, and he went home for two days."
"Tsk tsk, Baosheng, I can see it from your complexion. You have changed a lot in the past few years. You have become a big boss."
"No, it's still the same as before."
After a circle of smoke dispersed, I was able to escape.
Chen Baosheng thought that he had finally passed this test, but what made people laugh or cry was that on the night when he returned home, their village chief Ruan Laozhu, who used to look down on Chen Baosheng the most, now heard that he had made money outside, and he insisted Found home.
"Baosheng, is that you?"
"Uncle Ruan, yes! Please sit down." Chen Baosheng handed him a cigarette and invited him to sit down.
"Haha, I almost didn't recognize you? When you and our Dani were high school classmates, I remember you came to our house several times at that time. At that time, it was not like this at all." Ruan Laozhu said. He smoked and talked to him casually.
Ruan Laozhu’s eldest daughter, Ruan Li, can be said to be Chen Baosheng’s first love. The two grew up together from elementary school to junior high school, and then to high school. They grew up together and had a good relationship. After high school, they became even more We get along very well, go to school together in the county, go home together during holidays, etc.
Originally, this kind of friendship was common in adolescence, and Chen Baosheng didn't make people think too much about it. But Ruan Laozhu looked down on Chen Baosheng. He was a village cadre at that time, and he had to be fawned over, so he looked down on Chen Baosheng's family.
Therefore, Ruan Laozhu talked to him at that time and asked him to stay away from Dani and let her go, otherwise he would break his legs.
Although Chen Baosheng had no relationship with Ruan Li in the first place, after being talked to by him, Chen Baosheng regretted it and naturally avoided her deliberately. Even if she came to him, he would ignore her. When she was in her second year of high school, for unknown reasons, Ruan Li suddenly stopped studying and went out to work. After that, Chen Baosheng never asked about her again.
When Ruan Laozhu mentioned Dani, Chen Baosheng asked casually: "Where's Dani, is she okay now?"
In fact, Ruan Laozhu came here because of Dani's matter.
He stared at Chen Baosheng and sighed: "She is divorced. She worked outside a few years ago and married a man from Henan. Well, it's not that the man was not good to her, he was very good and had a good temper. . But this person’s family treated her very badly. In order to make a living, the man often worked outside. She had a baby at home, but she was abused by her husband’s family. She often only had a bowl of noodles and a dish. Last year, she really suffered If I can’t bear the pain, I ended my relationship with that man and now I’m back living at home.”
Chen Baosheng was shocked when he heard what he said. He didn't expect his former goddess to have such pitiful feelings.
But at this time, he could only echo his words: "Hey, there's nothing you can do about working outside. The main thing is that you can't meet men from your own hometown. The relationship between men and women outside is indeed very good, but after all, it's not People born in the same place have very different living habits and cultures, which gradually become larger day by day, and eventually become irreconcilable conflicts, and the relationship breaks down."
"Baosheng, you are right, that's it, that's it!" After hearing what Chen Baosheng said, Ruan Laozhu quite agreed. After sighing for a while, he stared at Chen Baosheng: "Baosheng, I heard your mother said, you and That woman named Li Xuemei is not remarried now, right?"
Chen Baosheng nodded: "Not yet!"
He asked again: "Don't you plan to remarry?"
Chen Baosheng said: "I don't want to remarry!"
"Oh, that's it!" Ruan Laozhu thought for a moment and moved the corners of his mouth, but said nothing at the time. After thinking for a while, he then said to Chen Baosheng: "If you want to work in your factory, why don't you take Dani to work? The child will stay at home. We will take care of her while she goes to work outside. , and make some money.”
Chen Baosheng was a little embarrassed when he heard this.
Because he also knows that Ruan Li has not graduated from high school and has no academic qualifications. What can Shengjie Technology say now? In addition to the labor required for projects in external branches, she would definitely not be able to do clerical work such as clerking at the Shencheng headquarters or the company. When she came to work as a manager in the project department, she couldn't even understand the drawings, so she was naturally a little embarrassed.
After thinking about it, he said to Ruan Laozhu: "You said Ruan Li, you want to go out to work?"
Ruan Laozhu said: "No way, she can't stay here forever, right?"
Chen Baosheng said: "How about I call the project department of this province and find a job for her. The salary is not low."
Ruan Laozhu's real idea is not about the workmanship, but about wanting Ruan Li to have a good relationship with Chen Bao. He knew that Chen Baosheng had made a fortune, and importantly, he was divorced and had a son at home. Ruan Li is also a second-rate talent, so they are a perfect match.
But seeing that Chen Baosheng had no such thoughts about Ruan Li and was not even willing to take her to Shencheng, Ruan Laozhu was a little disillusioned. He murmured: "Just go to the provincial capital to do things?"
Chen Baosheng nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Ruan. The main thing in Shencheng is to have academic qualifications. It's difficult to move forward without academic qualifications."
Seeing that Chen Baosheng did not miss his old friendship, Ruan Laozhu had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll go home and discuss it with her."
This time, Ruan Laozhu went to Chen Baosheng's home and chatted for half an hour.
Speaking of the later, Ruan Laozhu made up his mind and said to Baosheng: "Dani doesn't have this culture, so she won't go to Shencheng. Otherwise, you can take Erni with you. She graduated from university and is now in a family." I’m interning in a private company, but I always feel that it’s not reliable and I can’t earn a few internship wages. Otherwise, you can take her away.”
Ruan Laozhu has said this, what else can Chen Baosheng do?
He could only nod and said: "Okay, when Erni comes back this time, you tell her, or send her my mobile phone, and I will show her the company's profile. If she is interested, I will go to Shenzhen first. I."
"Great, great!" When Ruan Laozhu heard this, he smiled and said: "Okay! When she comes back, I will let her contact you."
……
Walking on the familiar roads in the countryside, Chen Baosheng also knew that this is the reality in the countryside. In this place where the weak and the strong are most likely to appear, if you mix well, have a car, a house and a deposit outside, and can do something for the villagers. , personal prestige and the prestige of parents are naturally established.
But if it's the other way around, if you do poorly outside and look the same every year, and still find yourself dissatisfied with this or that when you come back, then your family will not only look down on you, but also on your parents.
Of course, bringing a few fellow villagers into the company is a trivial matter and not a big deal for Chen Baosheng.
And he knew that the most important thing after returning from this trip was to take his son and mother to Shencheng.
Ou Weiming's five-year-old daughter can play the piano skillfully and is very impressed by him. He felt that if his son Xiaozhuang stayed in a mountain village, he would definitely not receive a good education. If the education was not good and he had no education or skills, then it would be useless no matter how much money he made, and it would not improve or change his destiny. Therefore, the purpose of his return this time was to take his mother and son to Shencheng.
For Chen Baosheng to bring his son and mother to Shenzhen, nothing is more happy than his ex-wife Li Xuemei. Because even if they came to Shencheng from their hometown, they would naturally live in the building rented by Chen Baosheng, which is also the house where she, Li Xuemei, lives.
When Chen Baosheng and his mother agreed on the departure date, they were preparing to return home. Chen Baosheng made a special call to Li Xuemei. Li Xuemei was so happy when she heard this, she murmured on the phone: "That's great! You finally listened to me and picked them up! Haha, I'll take a day off today and buy some good things waiting for you. s arrival!"
