Chapter 18 Subduing (1)

"If the five million can be obtained, that would be great!" Zhan Xiaoming thought for a while, and suddenly sighed softly: "Five million is enough for us to spend more than half a year."

"Manager Zhan, please think of a solution. The last time I squeezed away the people from the development department and kept the remaining money in the company for our business department, it was all your idea. This time we all counted on you too!"

Immediately after this person's flattery, the others began to flatter Zhan Xiaoming, one after another, and even Chen Zhihua felt loose when he heard it on the computer, and it was very uncomfortable.

Chen Zhihua thought about these guys and it seemed that the people in the business department had never come to the company. It was not entirely their reasons. Instead, they were very likely forced to leave. Moreover, Zhan Xiaoming and others distributed the only remaining money in the company. Although they could say that this was a normal salary and would not be illegal, this behavior was enough to make Chen Zhihua make up his mind to drive them out of Shenhui.

Just as Chen Zhihua was thinking about his thoughts silently, there was a sudden movement on the screen. A young man with a contoured face suddenly stood up and strode out of the conference room regardless of the pull of his friends around him, with a look of resentment on his face.

"Liu Ziliang, what do you want to do?" A guy standing next to Zhan Xiaoming saw the young man's actions and immediately shouted loudly, causing everyone in the conference room to look at the young man.

The young man named Liu Ziliang stopped, snorted coldly, and said, "I can't listen to what you said. I want to go out for a walk and have some breath." Liu Ziliang's words were so loud that it made the conference room stunned and all calmed down.

"Liu Ziliang, if you dare to walk out of this conference room today, don't blame me for giving you a hat that disobeys the superior's instructions, so that you will not appear in the conference room in the future!" Zhan Xiaoming was the first to react. His originally proud expression was restrained, and he became extremely gloomy, which was completely different from what he had just now.

"This guy is such a thousand-faced man!" Chen Zhihua looked at Zhan Xiaoming hatefully in front of the computer screen, and at the same time, he also wanted to see how Liu Ziliang would deal with it with interest.

Zhan Xiaoming was the head of the business department, and his words were full of threat, but after Liu Ziliang glanced at him, he walked out of the conference room without thinking. Before closing the door, he said to the partners who were sitting on the corner with him: "You still want to stay like this? Let's go, it's better to stay anywhere than staying with these guys." After that, he closed the door heavily.

After Liu Ziliang left, the person sitting next to him thought about it and stood up one after another, then left the conference room without saying a word.

Zhan Xiaoming looked at Liu Ziliang and others leaving coldly, and suddenly said hatefully: "If I don't overturn you guys, I won't be surnamed Zhan." Then, he continued to talk to the guys who stayed, all of which were just some infuriating selfish thoughts.

Seeing that things were almost done, Chen Zhihua asked Anna to go over and record the "discussion results" of Zhan Xiaoming and others, and then announced that everyone could leave early today. He wanted to sort out these "discussion results" and hurriedly left the office.

During the "discussion" between the development department and the business department, Chen Zhihua discovered an important person, and this person was Chen Mubai from the development department. He carefully recalled the information about Chen Mubai that he had read in Qi Ji before. Chen Mubai was a veteran. He had worked as an authentic soldier in the army before, that is, he helped the country lay tracks and dig tunnels and other engineers. After returning, he was assigned to Shenhui Company and became an ordinary worker in the cement factory. In Shenhui Company, Chen Mu

Bai's work attitude is very down-to-earth and trusted by Duan Weiwen and his colleagues. Because of this, when Shenhui Company gradually turned to the real estate industry, Chen Mubai was promoted to the manager of the development department, in charge of real estate development. Although Chen Mubai was nominally the manager of the development department, in Shenhui Company, he was equivalent to a big foreman, who led his subordinates to do work that was no different from the engineering team, and made many contributions to Shenhui's development.

"How could such a person be deducting several thousand yuan of project payments privately?" Chen Zhihua sat on the bus and had already figured out a very clear path in his mind. If Zhan Xiaoming had not been afraid of Chen Mubai, he would not have tried every means to squeeze Chen Mubai away. Moreover, since those guys from the development department were so respectful to Chen Mubai in their words, he would have been a very "keyman" to himself.

According to Chen Mubai's home address, whom he remembered in his mind, Chen Zhihua found that Chen Mubai lived in a rental house in a local village. In Shenzhen, there is a phenomenon that is very different from other cities, because Shenzhen was originally just a small fishing village on the South China Sea. After the establishment of the special economic zone, many farmers in the small fishing village occupied a large amount of land under the condition of incomplete land policies at the beginning of the reform. After the Shenzhen economy developed, these farmers transformed into new-style landlords with large areas of prime land. These new-style landlords do not need to work. As long as they build tall buildings on the land they occupied and rented them out, it is enough for them to live a very wealthy life. The small buildings they built will always be closely connected, that is, local villages.

Chen Mubai obviously lives in these local villages. From this point of view, Chen Mubai, as a member of the tide of engineering troops who came to Shenzhen to open up land in those years, has not given him anything after so many years of struggle, and he doesn't even have his own house.

"Why, is anyone here?" Chen Zhihua found Chen Mubai's home and knocked on the door politely.

The door was opened, and a little head was poked out from inside. It was a little girl about 9 years old. She looked at Chen Zhihua vigilantly and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Mr. Chen Mubai is here?" Chen Zhihua looked inside through the gap opened by the door. He clearly saw that there was a younger boy behind the little girl. The boy also followed the girl and looked at him. There was clearly tension in his eyes.

"You... are you looking for my father?" The little girl saw that Chen Zhihua was not like a bad person, so she finally let go of her guard and said, "My father is not at home, he is out to work."

Chen Zhihua looked at his watch. He originally thought that Chen Mubai should have come back at this time, but it seems that this is not the case. However, he didn't want to come in vain today, so he thought about it and said, "Then, can I go in and wait for him?" While speaking, he saw that the two children seemed to be a little alert, and explained, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, but I have something to talk to your father, which is an urgent matter!"

Hearing Chen Zhihua deliberately emphasized that it was an urgent matter, the little girl thought about it for a while and finally opened the door for Chen Zhihua and said politely: "Uncle, please come in!"

Chen Zhihua smiled slightly, touched the little girl's head intimately, and walked inside.

Walking into the room, he looked around the scene and saw that the furniture was very simple, a very long old sofa, a small coffee table, a TV cabinet, and a twenty-inch TV. This is everything in the hall. Chen Zhihua sat down on the sofa and looked at the two children in front of him. He saw that the older little girl was wearing a small vest and a pair of shorts, with a ponytail tied on her head, big eyes and round face, and her face showed an old age that ordinary children did not have. Looking at the younger little boy, from the temperament between his eyebrows and eyes and the expression on his face, he and the little girl should be two siblings, and their big eyes looked very cute. When Chen Zhihua looked at him, he was also secretly looking at Chen Zhihua.

"Uncle, are you hot?" The little girl carefully discovered that Chen Zhihua loosened her tie slightly because of the stuffiness. She quickly took out a small fan from the room and turned it on to Chen Zhihua. After doing this, she experiencedly went over and took a cup, and then poured Chen Zhihua a cup of boiling water.

"Thank you!" Although the wind blowing from the fan was still hot, Chen Zhihua felt much better. He thought about it and asked the little girl: "Little sister, where is your father working? When do you usually come back?"

The little girl thought for a while and said, "My father repaired his bicycle on the street and would not come back every day at about seven o'clock."

"Oh, seven o'clock..." It was about six o'clock at this time, and there was still an hour before seven o'clock. Chen Zhihua thought for a while and asked again: "Then... have you eaten?"

"It's usually only after my father comes back." While speaking, the little girl proudly added: "But my father said that when I grow up a little and reach the tall cabinet in the kitchen, I can ask me to cook for him! Well, I'm still a little short of reach!"

"What about your mother?"

"Mom has passed away!"

"Oh!" Chen Zhihua felt a strange feeling in his heart. He remembered that when he was young, he had asked to cook for his father more than once, but his father refused because he was not tall enough. At this time, the little girl's words happened to make Chen Zhihua unconsciously recall the image of his father who was getting weaker and weaker in his mind.

While thinking about this, Chen Zhihua looked at his watch again and said, "Well, are you hungry? Uncle, let's take you out for dinner and come back at seven o'clock, okay?"

When the two children heard Chen Zhihua's words, their eyes lit up, but then the little girl shook her head and said, "Dad said we should not go out casually."

It can be seen that both children are very well-behaved and obedient children. Chen Zhihua thought about it and said with a smile: "But uncle is already a little hungry. Can you just treat it as if you are eating something with your uncle?"

When the little girl heard the excuse made up by Chen Zhihua, she couldn't tell the difference. After looking at her brother, she nodded and said, "Okay, uncle, let's accompany you out to eat something!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Chen Zhihua held a child with one hand and took them away.

I read the information written about Shenzhen online before. These rental houses are usually the places with the highest crime rate. It is really dangerous to keep two children at home during this summer vacation. It seems that Chen Mubai, who can only make a living by repairing bicycles, would not have done so if he had not been forced to do so.

Chen Zhihua felt a kind of sympathy for these two children from the bottom of his heart. He took the two children and asked, "Little sister, what's your name? What about your little brother?"

"My name is Chen Siqi, and my younger brother is Chen Jinqi."

Soon, the three of them came to a McDonald's not far away, and ordered a few things that the two children liked to eat. The three of them found a seat to sit down and started eating.

McDonald's is indeed full of infinite attraction for children. This is the success of McDonald's marketing strategy. Chen Zhihua has always believed that. It seems that McDonald's' attractiveness is the same for Xiao Siqi and Xiao Jinqi. Although the two little guys are very obedient, they obviously become happy to be able to eat what they like. While eating, they talk to Chen Zhihua. After a while, they become very familiar with Chen Zhihua. Even Xiao Jinqi gradually dares to speak to Chen Zhihua.

"Xiao Siqi, why don't you eat it?" Chen Zhihua noticed that Xiao Siqi did not eat the hamburger in his set meal, and couldn't help but ask strangely.

Xiao Siqi thought about it and said to Chen Zhihua honestly: "Dad hasn't eaten yet. I want to stay and go home for Dad to eat!" As she spoke, her face turned slightly red, as if she felt that she was eating and taking it, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Chen Zhihua looked at the obedient and filial little girl in front of him, and felt moved. After picking up the hamburger and handing it to her, he stood up and said, "You can eat your fill first, and you can buy another one for you to take for your father."

"Really?" Xiao Siqi's eyes lit up and she looked at Chen Zhihua with joy.

"Of course it's true." Chen Zhihua nodded with a smile, then immediately walked to the front desk and ordered another package to pack.

Seeing that Chen Zhihua bought the set meal, Xiao Siqi felt relieved and opened the hamburger and ate it in big mouthfuls. The cute eating look made people happy.

After the supper, the three of them returned home. Chen Mubai still did not come back, so Chen Zhihua could only continue to wait patiently.

"Xiao Jinqi, what are you doing?" Chen Zhihua saw Xiao Jinqi open a tin box that was metered, and then there were many cent coins inside. He took it out and counted carefully one by one.

"I'm counting the money!"

Hearing Xiao Jinqi's answer, Chen Zhihua couldn't help but feel a little funny. The question he asked just now was a bit stupid, and he couldn't help but change his question: "What are you doing when you count the money?"

"Dad said, let me save all the dimes of this usual so that I can buy our own house in the future, and no longer have to rent other people's houses, and let the landlady urge the rent."

Xiao Jinqi's words shocked Chen Zhihua, and soon nodded again, and said with emotion: "Yes, sensible children should have learned to save money since childhood, and they can't develop the habit of spending money randomly."

Xiao Jinqi nodded in a vague way and continued to count his coins.

It seems that Chen Mubai's situation is really embarrassing. From the words of the child, we can know that he is even very difficult to pay the rent, let alone provide children with books and teaching and providing a better life.

Just as he was thinking this, a sound of opening the door came from the door, and then he saw a tall middle-aged man walking in. He originally smiled when he entered the door, but when he saw Chen Zhihua, his smile suddenly suffocated.

Chen Zhihua looked at the man who should be Chen Mubai and saw that he was wearing very worn clothes, with all kinds of oil stains on his clothes, which looked very dirty. Although his body and face were dirty, his hair was very neat, which made him look much more energetic.

"Who are you?" Chen Mubai looked at Chen Zhihua and asked vigilantly.

"My name is Chen Zhihua... Well, to be precise, it should be the temporary manager sent by Qiji Group to Shenhui Company." While speaking, Chen Zhihua extended his right hand to Chen Mubai.

After Chen Mubai understood Chen Zhihua's identity, he was slightly shocked. After coming to his senses, he was about to reach out and shake Chen Zhihua, but he immediately saw that his hands were covered with oil. He couldn't help but pause and felt embarrassed to hold Chen Zhihua's hand.

Chen Zhihua also noticed this detail. After smiling slightly, he stretched out his hand again and held it smoothly with Chen Mubai's oil-filled hand.

Perhaps Chen Zhihua's move made Chen Mubai very fond of it. He shook hands with Chen Zhihua vigorously, then pointed to the sofa and said, "Mr. Chen, please sit down and let me change some clothes, let's talk about it."

"Okay." Chen Zhihua nodded with a smile. He also had a good impression of Chen Mubai. Judging from this contact, Chen Mubai is really a trustworthy person, at least on the surface, and there is an essential difference from Zhan Xiaoming.

After a while, Chen Mubai changed into a clean dress, washed his hands, returned to the hall, and said to Chen Zhihua: "Hello, Mr. Chen, don't you know what's wrong with you this time?"

Chen Zhihua smiled and waved his hand, asking Chen Mubai not to rush to speak. He handed him the food he had already packed at McDonald's and said, "Mr. Chen, you eat first. Because I was a little hungry when I came, I had already taken Siqi and Jinqi to eat something. This is what we packed for you."
