Chapter 816 Let Mom Be the Boss

After learning that their son was back, Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan wished they could leave the work immediately and return home to take a good look at this son who made them proud.

However, it is precisely because Shi Lei's current development makes the old couple so proud that they have to keep a low profile in the work unit to avoid being gossiped by colleagues who have worked together for half their lives.

Especially Shi Zhongping.

He used to be just an ordinary team leader in the workshop, and he was almost laid off. It was only because of his son that he not only was not forced to leave the company, but also became the chairman of the labor union.

After recuperating and returning to the work unit, Shi Zhongping warned himself that he must do a good job in the union's work and must not embarrass his son, let alone disappoint the employees who had hopes for him.

In the past six months, Shi Zhongping has been doing well in his position as union chairman, and his reputation in the factory is also quite good. But with the popularity of the two companies Qixuan and Kuaimo, even if they have not yet opened up the market in Runzhou, how can a society with such a developed Internet be able to hide it from others?

It was a little better at the beginning, because Shi Lei was a low-key person. Even if everyone knew that Shi Lei had opened a company in Wudong and became the boss, they would never have thought that the sensational Qi Xuan and flash mobs were actually Shi Lei's industries.

But when Qian Zigong came out and started talking nonsense, and Shi Lei responded forcefully, everyone immediately thought of Shi Zhongping's family when they heard the name Shi Lei. After checking the Internet, it turned out that it was indeed the stone they had watched growing up in the factory. Who else could it be?

Being famous is of course a good thing, but it is followed by all kinds of discussions. When Shi Zhongping and his wife met old acquaintances when they were shopping for groceries at work, they all greeted them warmly.

Speaking of which, it's fortunate that Shi Zhongping was just an ordinary group leader. If he had been the union chairman earlier, there would have been people talking behind his back, saying that Shi Zhongping embezzled public funds and accepted bribes. Otherwise, how could Shi Lei defeat such a big enemy in Wu Dongzhen with his bare hands? A piece of industry?

But even if it was just that, there were some filthy guys who said that the reason why Shi Zhongping was laid off in the first place, and even the factory wanted him to get the apartment back, was because he was greedy as a team leader. It's public money, but there's no evidence in the factory, so this is the reason why.

Most people will definitely sneer at this nonsense. The money a team leader gets every year is at most a high-temperature subsidy in midsummer, which is only a dime. Here, from If the workshop director takes it away, it will be distributed to the employees. How can it be possible to embezzle any public funds?

But rumors do exist after all, and there are always some unreasonable people spreading them to each other, and they will inevitably reach Shi Zhongping's ears.

As Shi Zhongping was depressed, he became even more low-key in the factory. He couldn't let these rumors continue to spread, right?

So Shi Lei came back, and Shi Zhongping's heart had already returned home, but he still had to wait peacefully in the office for the time to get off work.

Gao Yan is similar.

When everyone didn't know that Qixuan was Shi Lei's property, she often clicked her thumb and left at work because she was taking care of Shi Zhongping's leg injury. Everyone knew about her family situation but didn't say anything.

However, as Shi Lei's situation came to light, Gao Yan's frequent absence from work was talked about by some busybodies in the work unit all day long.

90% jealous and 10% envious, saying that she is now a rich mother and her husband is the chairman of the labor union. She has long since stopped caring about this job. Of course, she can come and leave as she pleases, and the boss of the unit does not dare to What are you talking about? Didn't her son almost tear down the public security bureau when her husband was in trouble?

Therefore, during this period of time, Gao Yan was extra punctual at work. She was always the first to arrive at work and the last to leave every day, just because she didn't want to give anyone a chance to gossip.

After finally getting off work at 5:30, Gao Yan immediately called Shi Lei and asked him what he wanted to eat, saying that he would go to the vegetable market to buy it immediately.

How could Shi Lei make his parents so tired? He said, "Tomorrow is the weekend. Let's eat at home tomorrow. We'll eat out today."

Gao Yan was right. His son was very rich now, and there was no need for him to buy groceries and cook in such a hurry. What's more, no matter how delicious her cooking is, can it still be better than what the chef in the restaurant can cook?

After thinking about it, Gao Yan said: "Son, your aunt, uncle, and uncle are asking me about you today, so I casually said that you will be back today. You see, since they know that you are back, they want to How about you invite them to dinner tonight?"

Shi Lei said with a smile: "When I got home in the afternoon, they had already arrived. Let's forget it today. It would be insincere to call out at the last minute. How about tomorrow? Tomorrow I will find a hotel to book two tables and call all my relatives at home. Let’s have a meal together on my dad’s side and your side.”

Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan took their parents to a restaurant that they would usually be reluctant to go to. Looking at the menu, Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Any vegetarian dish costs dozens of dollars, any meat dish costs hundreds, and seafood can easily cost hundreds of dollars per pound.

Shi Lei knew that his parents would definitely be reluctant to part with them, so he ordered the dishes himself without any extravagance. He picked some things that his parents had never eaten before and ordered two cold dishes, four hot dishes and a cup of soup for each person.

"Your mother just said that your aunt and your second uncle are both at home?" Shi Zhongping sipped the soup, praised it, raised his head and asked.

Shi Lei sighed and said, "Well, they knocked on the door when I just got home in the afternoon. I didn't even have time to drink water. I asked them if there was anything wrong, but they refused to say. But I guess there was something wrong, but they just couldn't save face."

Gao Yan interrupted and said, "I know a little about this. The two children from your aunt and your second uncle's family are also honest people, but they don't have high education, limited ability, and their jobs have never been stable. I heard that the one from your aunt's family is now a salesperson in a shopping mall, and your second uncle's family seems to be delivering express. I guess they want you, their son, to help them find a more stable job."

Shi Zhongping nodded and said, "Although our relatives don't visit each other closely, Shitou, don't think that this is because our relatives are indifferent. Our family, to put it bluntly, is at the bottom of society. We have no money and no time. We don't have extra time to visit each other every day after get off work. The situation of their two families is indeed not good. Our family , now you have a promising future, if you don't feel embarrassed, just think about them. Your uncle-in-law is here today, I guess it's his kid, isn't he graduating soon? A third-tier college graduate must have a problem finding a job. "

Shi Lei told his parents about what he had discussed with Hu Xiaohua before, Shi Zhongping frowned and said: "Son, we are not saying that we must help, but we have to do it when you don't feel embarrassed. If you set up a company alone, can they handle it?"

"I want to let my mother retire early, anyway, she is old enough. Social security and so on, our company will pay for it ourselves. Set up a company here, mom will be in charge, and relatives at home can be arranged. This kind of work doesn't require any skills, anyway, we just hire a special maintenance master, and those relatives in our family, as long as they can drive and are willing to spend effort, it shouldn't be a big problem. Put attitude first, we don't support idle people, I can arrange for them if they want to make money, but they have to spend their own effort. "
