Chapter 13: Investigation

————Hide it from only one person

Pei Yin didn't pay attention for a moment and touched Qian Sanyi's sneakers hanging on the balcony downstairs.

"Ouch" came from the balcony downstairs.

Pei Yin looked down and saw Wang Shengnan quickly picking up the shoe from the quilt hanging at home.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Pei Yin kept saying.

Wang Shengnan looked up and smiled at her: "Don't worry, I'll hand it back for you." As she said that, she picked up the shoe on the clothes drying pole and sent it up carefully.

Lying on the balcony, Pei Yin took the clothes drying pole, used the small hook on it to hook the buckle of the shoe, and slowly took it back.

The two women cooperated very well downstairs and upstairs and smiled at each other. From then on, when they met each other when they were shopping for groceries, they would progress from smiling and saying hello to chatting a few words and being able to communicate with each other. Visit the door.

Returning to the living room of the house, Wang Shengnan sat on the sofa and sighed: "It's not easy for Qian Sanyi's mother to take care of her children by herself."

"Hey, you haven't moved here long and you already know everything?" Lin Dawei said disdainfully while drinking tea.

"It's you Hulihutu!" Wang Shengnan whispered displeasedly, "She always goes in and out alone, you can't tell!"

"Don't mind other people's business." Lin Dawei leaned on the back of the sofa.

Wang Shengnan thought for a moment, then approached and asked, "You said your units were going to merge. How is it going now?"

With a sigh, Lin Dawei looked up at the ceiling and said, "I guess a large number of people will have to leave."

"There won't be you, right?" Wang Shengnan looked at him nervously.

"What are you talking about!" Lin Dawei frowned and looked at her, "I am the 'old man' in the unit, how could I be here!"

He was just comforting himself, but Wang Shengnan still felt relieved and said jokingly: "That's right, that's right! Without you, the earth won't even turn. How dare your lousy unit fire you?!"

Although this was meant as a joke, Lin Dawei had to take advantage of the situation and make a tough stance. He was about to encourage his wife and himself when he saw his daughter Lin Miaomiao walking up to him and saying with a smile: "Dad, don't worry."

Patting his daughter on the shoulder, Lin Dawei sighed and said, "Daughter, your mother and I are fighting so hard because of you!"

"Don't say that, you also want to live a happy life." Lin Miaomiao refused while eating snacks.

"This kid is not very obedient!" Wang Shengnan complained.

Lin Miaomiao frowned and was about to say something else. Lin Dawei, who was worried that the mother and daughter would have another inexplicable dispute, quickly tried to mediate.

There is a wife on one side and a daughter on the other. Neither one can be offended. Lin Dawei, who has accumulated a lot of effective struggle experience, knows that the best way is not to comment on their rights and wrongs, but to change the topic quickly and effectively.

"Daughter, you don't have to worry about anything else. Your mother and I just want to know, are you sure now?" Lin Dawei looked at her and asked.

"What are you sure about?" Lin Miaomiao suddenly felt so nervous that she even forgot to eat the snacks in her mouth.

"Is it about your division of arts and sciences classes?!" Wang Shengnan looked even more nervous than she did.

After taking a long breath, Lin Miaomiao leaned on the sofa dejectedly: "Oh my God! This is what happened!"

"Yeah, is there anything else? Huh?" Lin Dawei stared at her and asked.

Being stared at by her father and feeling very nervous, Lin Miaomiao pushed up her glasses and quickly expressed her position: "This is the only thing that is most important! But, are you concerned too early? There is still half a semester to think about it! "

"Be prepared for a rainy day. Give yourself confidence first!" Lin Dawei made a fist with his right hand and waved it vigorously.

"Miaomiao, express your position quickly!" Wang Shengnan urged.

Lin Miaomiao deliberately delayed her answer. She filled her mouth with snacks first, then slowly ate them, and then said with an awe-inspiring attitude: "It must be——,"

Lin Dawei and Wang Shengnan both dared not express their anger or take a breath, and stared at her closely.

"Science!" Lin Miaomiao said nonchalantly, looking at her extremely nervous parents, she laughed first.

The couple each took a long breath. Wang Shengnan, who wanted his daughter to enroll in science, touched his chest and said, "Oh my God! Miaomiao, can you stop breathing so heavily!"

"Mom, I comfort you." Lin Miaomiao stuffed a small biscuit into her mouth.

Lin Dawei over there was relieved at first, and then looked over nervously: "Daughter, don't just consider the feelings of me and your mother. After all, studying is not a competition, and I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up."

"I can definitely keep up! Not only can I keep up, but I can also do well in the exam!" Lin Miaomiao, who has the top scorer as a tutor, said confidently.

Wang Shengnan immediately slapped Lin Dawei angrily: "That's nonsense! Hurry up and say 'bah bah' yourself!"

Lin Dawei thought that the question he just asked was also unlucky, so he quickly followed his wife's instructions, turned his head and "poofed" several times before giving up.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Lin Miaomiao went back to her room to continue studying at the urging of her parents.

When Wang Shengnan saw Lin Dawei was silent again, he couldn't help but chuckled and said, "You should be grateful to Qian Sanyi."

Lin Dawei looked at her, but still didn't speak. Wang Shengnan knew that he was worried about his work unit, so he stopped joking with him.

Lin Miaomiao ushered in the resumption of classes after the winter vacation, and Lin Dawei continued to worry about his position.

Lin Dawei, who was born as a science student, could not help but face the unpredictable life he saw with the mentality of a compassionate liberal arts student.

Originally, he only thought that his daughter's learning problems were his top priority. But now he had to worry about supporting his family in Hukou, and he began to have other worries.

Sure enough, he felt that he had contributed a lot to the company and could not be laid off. Even if he was laid off, when he thought he would be the last one, the company leaders formally communicated with him.

When the leader called him into the office alone, he was already beating the drum in his heart.

When the leader tactfully and in an indistinguishable tone told the facts about the unit's reform and layoffs, Lin Dawei was definitely involved.

Suddenly, he felt that life was all miserable. After lamenting in his heart, Lin Dawei quickly spoke out to fight for it.

He originally thought that he could move from a job with a real job to a leisure position, even if the salary was lower, it wouldn't matter.

But the truth was cruel. With a dazed look on his face, he confirmed that he had been laid off from his job.

At first he was embarrassed to mention this matter to his wife and daughter, but he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to tell the truth.

"Don't be afraid!" He turned to comfort his wife and daughter, "I have an old friend who is helping me find something to do."

"What's going on?" Wang Shengnan and Lin Miaomiao asked one after another.

Lin Dawei took a sip of tea and said confidently: "There is a big real estate company in Fuzhou not far from here, which was founded by people from Xiangjiang."

Lin Miaomiao took the initiative to answer the question with an expression of surprise: "I seem to have heard someone mention it before."

"Huh?" Lin Dawei's eyes widened, and he looked at his daughter with the same surprise, "Daughter, you, you also know this company?"

Wang Shengnan was in a daze beside him at first, and then he blinked his eyes continuously: "You, you all know, and you only hide it from me?"

——————Not a raw melon egg

Lin Miaomiao quickly explained: "What! How could I know! It just sounds familiar to me. Okay, Dad, please go on."

Lin Dawei waved his hand to signal the two people in front of him to quiet down.

"I just have an intention, and I haven't gone to the company to see it in person." His tone was casual, but he was very satisfied.

"I think it's quite annoying." Wang Shengnan expressed disapproval, "If we are not in this city, it becomes a separation between two places."

"In my situation, it would be good to have a job." Lin Dawei felt very satisfied. "I called and communicated with the boss over there - the position is executive vice president, and the salary is twice the original! It’s far here, but there is a high-speed train that can travel to you at any time. The company provides accommodation in an apartment, and you can come back every week for weekends..."

Obviously, Lin Dawei wants to continue working while continuing to make money to support his family. He felt satisfied with the company recommended by his friend.

Wang Shengnan definitely didn't want her husband to work in such a far place, but he couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to agree.

Lin Miaomiao sat beside her and didn't say much. Lin Dawei waved his hand: "Okay, everyone is busy with their own business. Miaomiao, hurry up and study!"

Lin Miaomiao stood up thoughtfully and walked back to the room silently.

After thinking about it, she still felt that Qian Sanyi had mentioned this matter. Taking her mobile phone, she sent him a message: There is a real estate company in Fuzhou, I think I heard you mention it.

Qian Sanyi’s reply came: I saw it when I was looking for news. It was a scam company that was already insolvent and defrauding investors.

Lin Miaomiao couldn't help being surprised: How do you know so much?

Qian Sanyi replied to her: First I was curious, and then I saw many investors complaining.

Turning off her phone, Lin Miaomiao also checked the company's situation online.

Sure enough, that company is very consistent with the saying "gold and jade are on the outside, but failure is on the inside".

It didn't take long for Lin Miaomiao to sort out a large sheet of information. After checking it again and again, she quickly took the paper, opened the door and walked towards Lin Dawei.

"Dad, look, look, look! You can't go to that company!" She handed him the compiled information.

While talking to Wang Shengnan about going to that company, Lin Dawei took the piece of paper in surprise and read it carefully.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became. He frowned and didn't speak for a long time.

After Wang Shengnan took it and looked at it, he couldn't help but said: "Hey, since that's the case, you must not go!"

Seeing that her husband did not respond, she continued: "Dawei, are you willing to associate with a liar?"

"What are you talking about!" Lin Dawei was startled by her words and quickly responded, "How dare I lie to people!"

"That's right, why don't you get arrested!" Lin Miaomiao said nervously.

Lin Dawei looked at his wife and daughter and did not respond.

After a moment of silence, Wang Shengnan asked carefully: "Dawei, do you really want to come to your door to eat in prison?!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Dawei stopped him quickly, thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll go there quietly tomorrow. Let's get to know this company from a social level!"

"Don't go to that boss directly!" Wang Shengnan reminded again.

"Harm! Are you worried about someone kidnapping me?" Lin Dawei couldn't help but laugh, "No. Don't worry, I'm not a fool, I'll be careful."

The next day, Lin Dawei took the high-speed train to Fuzhou and learned about the company in many aspects.

He first went to that company as a house buyer and was surrounded by a group of salespeople for promotion.

After leaving the company, he saw some early-stage property buyers near the company - in fact, they were investors who had been fooled, gathering in twos and threes, talking about their own experiences of being deceived and complaining.

With these facts he had seen with his own eyes, Lin Dawei didn't want to and didn't need to investigate any more. As an ordinary citizen and an ordinary worker, he knew enough - as long as he didn't come to work in this company and didn't come all the way to eat in prison.

Back at his rental house in Jiangzhou City, Lin Dawei slumped down on the sofa and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Is that what happened?!" Wang Shengnan came closer and asked.

Lin Dawei looked like a statue and didn't reply.

"Dawei, what's wrong with you?" Wang Shengnan was worried that he was sick, so he reached out and touched his forehead, "I don't have a fever."

Turning his head to avoid her hand, Lin Dawei lamented: "I really can't go to that company. I, I will continue to find other jobs."

If this company is not reliable, then look for other jobs. Middle-aged people are regarded by their employers as a group of people who have difficulty making progress and cannot keep up with the situation. It is difficult for them to stay in their original positions.

Based on this, their road to re-employment is even more difficult.

Lin Dawei's original job was administrative. To put it bluntly, it was a dispensable position, not technical - as the saying goes, the older you get, the more valuable you are.

Lin Dawei, who was exhausted both physically and mentally after being rejected one after another when looking for jobs, could not help but feel the loneliness of a scholar whose life was miserable and useless.

Seeing him like this, Wang Shengnan was anxious but Lin Miaomiao was naturally distressed. Her father made great contributions to the family and always loved her very much.

"Dad, don't be depressed, don't be anxious." She said comfortingly.

"Miaomiao, hurry up and study. Dad just wants to rest for a while. He is indeed a little tired." Lin Dawei said nonchalantly.

Lin Miaomiao hugged him to give him psychological comfort.

Lin Dawei's mood was not high, and Lin Miaomiao would naturally be affected.

Seeing that she was no longer as lively and cheerful as usual, several of her good friends at school noticed this change.

After a rough understanding, Jiang Tianhao and Deng Xiaoqi could only give her some spiritual comfort and encouragement, but she was still depressed and her appetite was much smaller.

During lunch break, Qian Sanyi called her outside the teaching building and said to her, "Miaomiao, our company has income!"

"Huh?" Lin Miaomiao also likes money, but she just keeps it well and spends the pocket money and rewards given by her parents. She has no awareness of earning money from society yet.

"I designed a small mobile game and it was acquired by another company." Qian Sanyi said calmly.

"Really?" Lin Miaomiao asked in surprise.

"Yes. In my spare time, I asked a few more people to help me. I spent a few months designing the small game "Monster Tower Defense" and sold two million copies!" Qian Sanyi stared at her and said.

"Wow..." Lin Miaomiao exclaimed, then quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth.

Looking around, she said worriedly: "Keep your voice down! Don't let outsiders hear it and harm us again!"

Smiling, Qian Sanyi continued: "In this way, I want to use these as start-up funds for subsequent software development. Our Tyrannosaurus Rex company will become bigger and bigger!"

"Don't say these are useless!" Lin Miaomiao said in surprise, "Just tell me how much money you can earn and how many pork chops and chicken legs you can buy!"
