Chapter 359: Lao Fang's Troubles

[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It is best to share it on Facebook for me]

"Xiao Xu, I heard that your family opened a bakery, and it seems to be quite large?"

General Liao asked casually.

"Yes." Xu Dong nodded.

"Can you tell me more about it?"

General Liao did not suddenly have a whim. He has been in the power company for almost seven years. In the next few years, he is likely to move up a level.

Especially in the past two years, due to the epidemic, many popular positions have been vacant. As a person with great ambitions, he does not want to miss this "window period".

At his level, it is easy to jump out of state-owned enterprises, but it is too difficult to find a good next home. This is the most critical step and the most difficult step.

In addition, and most importantly, he does not want to leave Yanjing.

In summary, getting closer to Mayor He has become a good choice.

Now all that is missing is an opportunity, and the bakery may be a good breakthrough.

Although Xu Dong was a little confused, he still gave a detailed introduction to the bakery, including the long-term planning of the Dayang Road wholesale market.

After hearing this, General Manager Liao clapped his hands and said, "What a good idea! Mayor He's advanced deployment is really commendable."

"Mayor He is a big leader with a big vision, and he must think farther than us." Xu Dong agreed.

"Xiao Xu, our company has a good relationship with many enterprises. How about this, I will introduce more customers to your family?"

"Uh, this is not appropriate, right?"

Perhaps "blatant" is a more vivid description.

General Manager Liao waved his hand: "The bakery is a major project that Mayor He strongly advocates. We should have given more support. Let me handle this matter, you don't have to worry."

"Then... Thank you, General Manager Liao!"

"You're welcome. Go back and say hello to General Manager Xu for me, and tell him that I will visit him in person next time I have a chance."

"Welcome, welcome!"

At this point, Xu Dong finally understood.

It turned out that Mr. Liao was going after Mayor He. Although he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, it didn't seem to be a bad thing for their family.

…

After returning from the General Manager's Office, Xu Dong had just sat down for a while when Lao Fang came to his door.

Xu Dong couldn't help asking:

"Lao Fang, what did you come to see me for?"

"Section Chief, I want to talk to you."

Xu Dong was confused. What happened today? Why did everyone want to talk to him!

"What do you want to talk about?"

Lao Fang sat down on the sofa. Xu Dong threw him a cigarette and lit one himself.

Lao Fang didn't smoke, but hung the cigarette on his ear.

"Section... Lao Xu, Caixian has the flu."

"When did it happen? Is it serious?" Xu Dong immediately asked with concern.

Lao Fang sighed: "Yesterday I accompanied her to the prenatal check-up, and the doctor found it. The symptoms are relatively mild at present, but it's hard to say later."

"Why are you so careless?" Xu Dong frowned.

"Alas, my sister-in-law caught a cold a few days ago and had a fever of 40 degrees. Her sister took care of her for several days. I guess she was infected at that time."

"What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that the influenza virus may have a bad effect on the baby. If the symptoms worsen, there may be a risk of miscarriage, or even endanger..."

Lao Fang was reluctant to tell the worst result.

"Don't worry too much. It's just a small cold. It's not as serious as you think." Xu Dong hurriedly comforted.

"Alas, Caixian coughed this morning. I'm afraid the situation will not be optimistic!"

"Have you taken medicine?"

Under normal circumstances, pregnant women can take medicine according to the doctor's advice. Only in this way can they ensure their health and avoid unnecessary effects on the fetus.

"I took it last night, but it didn't seem to work." Lao Fang said frustratedly.

"What do you mean?"

Lao Fang gritted his teeth: "I want to persuade Caixian to abort the child as soon as possible. The doctor also said that if it really comes to that, this is the best choice."

"Lao Fang, don't be impulsive." Xu Dong hurriedly advised.

"I didn't say to do it now." Lao Fang shook his head, "I want to do her ideological work first, so that she won't be reluctant and can't make up her mind." Xu Dong also had a headache. Lao Fang finally had a child. If the child was gone, it might be difficult to get pregnant again. "Lao Xu, I want you to help me persuade Cai Xian. She may not be willing to listen to my words. You are a great benefactor to the two sisters, maybe it will work." Xu Dong shook his head again and again. How to persuade such a thing? Whether it succeeds or not, it is an offending thing. "Don't think too pessimistically. After get off work, I will help you get some nutritional supplements. You can give her a good supplement. The situation is not as bad as you think." "Will it work?" Lao Fang's face was full of hope. "It will definitely work. A good body has a strong resistance. Your wife is still young, and there is no threshold that she can't overcome." Xu Dong comforted. "Lao Xu, thank you. For the sake of the child, I will not hesitate to lose everything this time." Lao Fang seemed to have made a great decision. Xu Dong waved his hand: "It's not that far yet, it's just some nutritional supplements. If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you first, and you can pay it back slowly later."

"Old Xu, I..."

"Don't thank me. I'm thinking about myself, so that you won't need me to take care of you when you get old." Xu Dong said humorously.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

"It's okay, go back to work. I'll bring you the things tomorrow morning." Xu Dong waved his hand.

...

The next day, Lao Fang went home excitedly with a big bag. The section chief gave him half a day off.

Not counting Lao Fang, the entire security section has lost half of its staff.

Gu Haiyuan was on a business trip.

Xiang Xin took a long vacation to take care of the children.

The other two had to take sick leave because of their serious illnesses, while those with mild illnesses like Uncle Chen and Sister Feng usually had to work while sick.

Lao Fang, who returned home, couldn't wait to take out the fish to thaw it. Lao Xu just said that fish is the most suitable for pregnant women to replenish their bodies.

"Ahem...husband, why are you back?"

Lao Fang quickly helped his wife back to bed: "Why did you get up? Didn't I tell you to have a good rest?"

"I heard the door open!"

Lao Fang explained: "Lao Xu heard that you had a cold, so he specially helped me get five pounds of fish and a bucket of milk powder. With these things, your body will definitely get better."

"Ahem...how can I be so embarrassed? I haven't paid back the favor of the yellow croaker last time?"

"Don't worry, I will sell my life to him in the future. If I can't pay it back, let our son continue to pay it back." Lao Fang exaggeratedly said.

"How do you know it's a son? What if it's a daughter?"

"Hehe, if it's a daughter, let them marry their sons. Lao Xu has three sons, there must be a suitable one."
