Chapter 472: Relationships
After Xu Dong's persuasion, Xu's father no longer had any doubts about the low-cost apartment, and he was also very interested in the Kuai 8 Hotel.
Before going home, Xu Dong couldn't help but persuade:
"Dad, 'Student Bread' is definitely a loser. Can we turn it down? I think other bakeries would be willing to take over."
Father Xu shook his head: "Impossible. This is a task personally assigned by Mayor He. There is no possibility of any change."

"Why?"
"Well, I didn't understand it at first. Later, Mayor He chatted with me for more than an hour, and I finally understood his good intentions."
"How did he convince you?"
Father Xu lit a cigarette, and Xu Dong reached out to ask for one. He had finished smoking his cigarette early in the morning.
"Mayor He doesn't trust other bakeries because he's afraid of causing serious problems."
"Then why does he believe you are old?"
"Your father and I have always had a clear conscience whether we were working or running a company. It is an honor for me that Mayor He is willing to believe in me."
Father Xu looked proud.
Xu Dong absolutely does not believe this reason.
According to his guess, what Mayor He valued was that their family was not native to Yanjing. In other words, their family did not have much roots in Yanjing, and there were not so many intricate connections, so it was relatively clean.
Clean means easy to control.
Now that the matter has come to this, he can only remind:
"Dad, you must pay close attention to the production process of 'Student Bread'. You must not make any mistakes. You must have zero tolerance for food safety and cutting corners."
Father Xu waved his hand: "You don't need to talk about this. Mayor He has repeatedly emphasized to me several times that I know the seriousness of the matter. Starting next month, I plan to move my office to the bakery. No. I don’t feel at ease if you stare at it with your own eyes.”
"You can't stand it alone? Don't wear yourself down." Xu Dong asked with concern.
"It's okay. Yu Maolin plans to set up the most stringent quality inspection center to supervise the entire production process. I will mainly be in command. I won't be tired, so you can rest assured." Father Xu explained casually.
"Hey, it's no use what you keep saying. I'll ask Lingling to supervise it for me."
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Father Xu said helplessly.
…
In the next period of time, Xu Dong ran to Mr. Cai whenever he had free time.
After more than a week, the design plan for the low-cost apartment was finally released. Based on the principle of pragmatism, 90% of the funds were spent on interior decoration, and the appearance was basically unchanged.
Soon, the time came to February 17th.
Today is Monday, and it is also the day when Xu Jingyi goes to Yanjing Daily to report. Xu Bin and his wife started preparing early in the morning.
Xu Jingyi looked at the table full of food and couldn't help but feel her head as big as an ox:
"Mom, I'm just going for an internship. I'm not getting married. Why are you cooking so many dishes? This is too exaggerated!"
"If you can't finish eating, put it in the refrigerator, and it won't spoil."
Tan Aifang helped her daughter peel an egg.
My mother-in-law's side still has a dozen old hens. They can't finish the eggs they lay every day, and they can't bear to sell them, so they can only give them a discount. They just brought back a basket full of them yesterday.
Xu Bin immediately echoed: "Daughter, today is your first day at work. Your mother and I are incompetent and can't help you with anything. This is all we can do."
As he talked, the elders actually became jealous.
Xu Jingyi immediately stepped forward and took her father's arm. Although her father had many shortcomings, he had absolutely nothing to say to her daughter, and she wanted to express his heart and lungs.
"Dad, why are you talking about this? Our family of three is happy every day, which is more important than anything else."
Tan Aifang helped her husband get a towel:
"Hurry up and wipe it. It's true that you are always leaking cat urine. It's not like Jingyi won't come back."
When his wife said this, Xu Bin suddenly felt ashamed and couldn't stay in this house any longer. He took the tea cup and walked towards the door.
"Aren't you going to send Jingyi to work?"
Tan Aifang shouted loudly from behind.
"I'm going to go for a walk and I'll be back later."
Xu Jingyi quickly persuaded: "Dad, our home is not far from the newspaper office. I can work alone, so there is no need to send it away, right?"
"No, the public security has been bad recently, and my father only has a daughter like you. How can you let me and your mother rest assured?"
Xu Bin became anxious instantly.
"Your dad is right, there are only a few steps anyway, so just treat it as a walk." Tan Aifang helped persuade.
"Okay, dad, please wear thicker clothes, it's cold outside."
Xu Jingyi is not impatient at all. She has the character of a little girl. Dad can give it to him if he wants. The most important thing is that his parents are happy.
"It's okay. Your dad has a lot of fat and is not afraid of the cold."
Xu Bin waved his hand, turned around and went out.
Half an hour later, Tan Aifang personally sent the father and daughter downstairs, and finally stuffed a pack of bear biscuits into her daughter's backpack.
The bear biscuits were baked by Lele. She saw her uncle walking around the oven several times, so she generously gave her a full jar.
"Mom, what are you doing? Our house is so close, I will definitely come back for lunch at noon. Besides, I am still losing weight and don't eat snacks."
Xu Jingyi said doubtfully.
Tan Aifang waved her hand: "It's not for you to eat, it's for you to give away. I heard that you interns are usually accompanied by teachers. If you give them some small gifts, the teachers will teach you carefully."
"Mom, who did you listen to?"
Xu Jingyi was surprised.
Her mother is an ordinary housewife, when did she know such things? And she knows more than her, it's magical.
"Your grandmother Wang said that she often introduces internship units to people and knows all these things."
"Which grandmother Wang?"
Xu Jingyi didn't remember it all at once.
"Who else could it be? Someone helped you find your internship this time. How could you forget it so quickly?"
"Oh, it turned out to be grandmother Wang. I haven't seen her for a long time. Is she in good health?"
"She's fine. Wait until this weekend. Let your grandmother take you to visit her. Whether you can stay for this internship depends on whether your grandmother Wang is willing to do her best."
Tan Aifang said earnestly.
Xu Jingyi smiled bitterly: "Mom, then I'm not a relative?"
"What's wrong with being a relative? Many people want to make connections but don't have the opportunity. Don't be ungrateful for what you have!"
Tan Aifang said unhappily.
"Daughter, this internship opportunity was found for you by your grandma. Don't let your grandma down."
Xu Bin was afraid that his daughter would act on impulse, so he played the emotional card.
Xu Jingyi nodded: "I understand, but I didn't react. I thought it was just an internship, but I didn't expect that I could stay."
"If you don't like being a reporter, you can also join your grandma's bakery. Lingling and Da Jie are both here, and the three of you can keep each other company."
Xu Bin didn't want to let his daughter down. It didn't matter whether his daughter entered the system or not, as long as she was happy.
Xu Jingyi waved her hand: "Forget it, I still like being a reporter. After all, I have studied for so long, it would be a pity to give up."
