I want to be a chaebol

The next morning, Song Yi and Liao Yu went to the airport to pick up Song Mingzhe and Song Miao. When Song Miao saw Liao Yu, she was extremely happy and rushed towards her mother, "Mom!"

Liao Yu hugged her daughter and said to Song Miao: "Miaomiao, you forgot to say hello to my uncle today! We should be polite children."

Song Miao stuck out her little head, glanced at Song Yi, and then greeted obediently: "Hello, uncle."

Song Yi rubbed Song Miao's little head, and then took the luggage from Song Mingzhe's hand, "Dad, what did you bring in this bag? Why is it so heavy?"

"Your mother insisted on bringing it. She stuffed more than ten kilograms of sausages this time and brought them all at once." Song Mingzhe was helpless.

Zhou Shulan was not happy, "I didn't let you feed me. Why, I let you, a great professor, carry the sausage, embarrass you? Besides, Xiaoyu likes to eat this. She lives alone in Yanjing, buy It is inconvenient to cook vegetables, but you can steam the sausage slices in a rice cooker and eat them, so it saves a lot of trouble."

Song Mingzhe raised his hands in surrender, "I didn't say anything. Besides, I didn't carry this sausage all the way."

Liao Yu pursed her lips and smiled. She had long adapted to the way her father-in-law and mother-in-law interacted. "Mom, Dad, I haven't eaten the sausages at home for a long time."

Zhou Shulan did not forget to criticize her son at this time, "Xiao Yi, I have to criticize you. You invited Liao Yu to come to Yanjing to work, and you are not in Yanjing. All the company's big and small matters are left to Xiao Yu to handle every day. She is so busy that she never leaves the ground. She comes home at least seven or eight every night. She cares more about the company than you. People who don’t know better think she is the boss. Is this how you capitalists exploit your employees? "

Xinhan Advertising bought a Buick New Century in the name of the company. Since Song Yi is often away from the company, Liao Yu usually drives the car. Buick New Century is a mid-range car put into production by General Motors in 1998. This car is very classic. Now Buick New Century is the most high-end brand among joint venture cars in the mainland market.

For the car market in 2000, if you drive a Santana or Jetta, it only means that your family background is not bad. But if you drive a Buick New Century, you are definitely considered a rich person. Liao Yu usually drives this car to discuss business and avoids a lot of trouble.

Song Yi put the luggage in the trunk and begged Zhou Shulan for mercy: "My fault! I will basically stay in China for the whole next year, and I promise not to make my sister-in-law so tired. I will give her a generous year-end bonus tomorrow. , I’ll give her a salary increase after the New Year.”

Song Yi drove, Liao Yu sat in the passenger seat, and Song Miao sat in the back seat between her grandparents.

Song Mingzhe said: "There is a Korean boss behind Xinhan Advertising, and it is not your son who can make the decision alone. Besides, how can there be anything that is not hard work? Nowadays, those who work at the Yanjing construction site work for more than ten hours a day. For an hour, you can only earn twenty or thirty yuan. Do you think the high wages from foreign companies are so easy to get?"

Song Mingzhe never asked about Song Yi's company affairs, and Zhou Shulan was not allowed to do so. In his words, he is just a history professor, not an economics professor, so he cannot give any appropriate advice.

Zhou Shulan had no choice but to stop talking about work, but she couldn't stay idle, so she asked Liao Yu: "Xiao Yu, are you ready for the new year's goods?"

Liao Yu responded, "Not yet. Xiao Yi has just come back and we don't have time, so we just wait until you arrive and we go to the supermarket for a big purchase together."

When Song Yi and his family returned home, Zhou Shulan started preparing lunch for the whole family, and Liao Yu went over to help her mother-in-law. Song Mingzhe started packing his luggage, and Song Miao became a little porter, helping his grandfather.

Zhou Shulan noticed a Minguang printed bedsheet hanging on the balcony of the living room. She was a little puzzled, "It's the coldest month of winter and the weather is not good. Why wash the bedsheet? It's not easy to do it."

When Liao Yu heard this, he looked a little nervous and glanced at Song Yi secretly. Song Yi's expression remained unchanged and he said to Zhou Shulan: "Oh! I just came back yesterday. Because the second bedroom was unoccupied for a long time, I was afraid that the sheets would get dusty, so I changed the bed specially."

Zhou Shulan didn't think much about it. She looked at the tidy house and felt a little regretful. "This house is good, but it's a bit small and not enough to live in at night. Xiaoyi, you and your dad will share the same bed at night, and your sister-in-law and I, and Miaomiao Give it a squeeze.”

Song Yi disagreed, "No, the room is heated and it's not cold at all at night. When I go to bed at night, I just set up a sofa bed in the living room and put it away when I get up in the morning. If it doesn't work, I can go out and stay in a hotel." "

Zhou Shulan glared at her son, "I can't live in a good home, but I still go out to stay in a hotel. Is it because I have too much money and am worried?"

Liao Yu advised Zhou Shulan, "Dad and Xiao Yi are both tall. It's really hard for two people to sleep on a 1.5-meter bed. There are many quilts made last year in my room. It's really not possible. Give Xiao Yi more Put some quilts on him and he will definitely not get cold."

Zhou Shulan stewed two pots at noon, one stewed with blood sausage and sauerkraut, and the other stewed pork vermicelli. Liao Yu chose a lot of cabbage, ready to put it into the pot at any time, which is suitable for eating in winter.

The four adults all poured half a glass of white wine. Song Yi told his parents about his plan to buy two more houses in Everbright Garden next year, one to live in and one for his parents to provide for their retirement.

Zhou Shulan was naturally very happy and asked her son: "Of course buying a house is a good thing, but can you turn around the money you have? Do you want mom to think of a way for you?"

Song Mingzhe took a sip of wine and said, "If you have time in the past two days, take me to Everbright Garden to have a look. If you really want to buy it, you can buy a larger one for yourself, and your mother and I can buy a small one." .”

Song Yi also talked about the decoration arrangements of the house. The two-bedroom apartment under Liao Yu's name will be decorated first, and then the other two apartments will be decorated. This way, Song Miao's enrollment will not be delayed, and everyone can celebrate the New Year together at Everbright Garden next year.

Song Mingzhe didn't ask whether Song Yi was short of money. If Song Yi was really short of money, he would definitely speak up, just like he did when he bought a house and a car in Seoul. It seems that Song Yi did make a lot of money last year. His son is willing to spend money to be filial to his parents, and Song Mingzhe naturally feels comfortable.

After talking about business, Song Yi also talked about the arrangements after the Spring Festival, "Dad, Mom, by the way, I am going to Ulsan after the Spring Festival to meet my girlfriend's parents."

Zhou Shulan felt suddenly, and glanced at Liao Yu subconsciously, "When did you meet your girlfriend? I don't know how to call home to tell you."

Liao Yu said to Zhou Shulan: "Mom? Have you forgotten that last time Xiao Yi celebrated his birthday, a girl specially called him to wish him a happy birthday and sang him a Korean birthday song. But at that time The two have not established a relationship yet.”

Zhou Shulan sighed inwardly when she saw that Liao Yu had no grudge at all. Maybe Liao Yu really just regarded Song Yi as a younger brother, and she completely gave up the idea of ​​bringing the two together.

Zhou Shulan cheered up and asked about Song Yi's girlfriend.

Song Yi gave a brief introduction, "Her name is Kim Tae Hee. She was born in the 1980s. She is a student at Seoul National University and is a sophomore this year. Her parents are in business and she has a younger brother at home."

Song Mingzhe was a little dissatisfied that his son had found a Korean girlfriend, so he asked, "You are having sex with someone else's little girl while she is still in school. Her parents know about it, so they shouldn't be very happy, right?"

Zhou Shulan didn't mind, and asked Song Yi if there were any photos of Kim Tae Hee on his phone, and asked him to take them out and take a look. When Zhou Shulan saw Kim Tae Hee's photo, she immediately had a good impression of Kim Tae Hee, "Old man, this girl is good-looking and very blessed. She looks like a good wife and mother at first glance."

Song Mingzhe took a look at the photo and agreed with his wife's view, "Since you are already in love with someone, let's have a good talk and don't let other girls down. When you go to the woman's house for the first time, be more sincere, be humble, and don't be arrogant. I feel amazing.”

Song Miao saw that her grandfather had seen the photo, and she wanted to see it too. Song Yi handed her the phone. After Song Miao saw Kim Tae Hee's photo, she asked curiously: "Mom, who is this beautiful sister?"

Liao Yu explained patiently, "This beautiful sister is my uncle's girlfriend and Miaomiao's future aunt."

When Song Miao heard this, she became wary, "Huh? My uncle has a girlfriend? I don't want it! What about my mother? Does my uncle not love Miaomiao anymore?"

When Liao Yu heard what her daughter said, her face suddenly froze. Song Mingzhe scolded Song Miao: "What nonsense are you kidding! He's so old and he still doesn't understand any manners!"

Song Miao was frightened by her grandfather and cried, "I don't want it, I don't want it! I don't want my uncle to be friends! If my uncle has a girlfriend, he will have his own baby, and he will no longer love Miaomiao!"

Zhou Shulan glared at her wife, quickly pulled Song Miao over, and held her granddaughter in her arms, "Miaomiao, we are already big babies. We can't just cry all the time. It won't look good if we cry."

Song Yi stopped eating, squatted in front of Song Miao, and talked to her: "Miaomiao, we are a family, and we have the same blood. Grandparents, mother, you, and I will always be a family. . We can’t write two characters of Song in one stroke. No matter whether I have a girlfriend or not, I will always take care of you and protect you. I will never leave you alone and never let you get hurt. If I have a baby in the future, Then Miaomiao is your sister. You have younger brothers and sisters to play with you and listen to your words, okay?"

Song Miao felt less sad after hearing what Song Yi said, and Liao Yu quickly wiped away her daughter's tears. Song Miao asked timidly: "Really? You won't leave me and my mother alone?"

Song Yi nodded with a very sincere attitude, "Miaomiao, if you don't believe it, how about we pull the hook?"

Song Yi and Song Miao hooked their fingers together. At this time, Song Miao, who was as big as a brat, pulled Liao Yu with the other hand, "Mom, come here too, let's pull the hook together."

In this way, Song Miao, one on each side, held hands with Song Yi and Liao Yu to pull the hook. Song Miao was very serious, "Hang yourself with the hook. It is not allowed to change for a hundred years." Liao Yu half-heartedly refused and reluctantly followed her daughter's chant. On the surface, it looked like In order to make her daughter happy, there is secret happiness in her heart.

Liao Yu knew that Song Yi's words just now were said to Song Miao, but in fact they were meant for her. She looked at her daughter, looking at Song Yi from the corner of her eyes, and thanked Song Miao for the assist just now.

Song Mingzhe didn't see the mystery, but Zhou Shulan's heart skipped a beat, vaguely doubting the relationship between Song Yi and Liao Yu. However, she thought of how Liao Yu had no grudge against Kim Tae Hee just now, and she couldn't help but doubt her own judgment. No woman would be generous enough to tolerate the existence of other women in a man's heart.

After lunch, Song Yi and his family went to the Wumart supermarket near the community to buy new year goods. Wumart Supermarket is currently the largest supermarket chain in Yanjing City.

Wumart Supermarket was founded in 1994. It offers high-quality products at low prices, about 20% cheaper than nearby stores, so it was named Wumart. This supermarket chain was listed on the Hong Kong stock market in 2003 and is known as the "Wal-Mart of tomorrow", so its founder Zhang Wenzhong is also known as the "Father of China's Wal-Mart." However, the business tycoon was later imprisoned for more than ten years and was later acquitted.

Song Yi watched New Oriental founder Yu Minhong's interview with Zhang Wenzhong on the interview program "Zui Jian". Zhang Wenzhong recounted this experience very plainly, saying that no experience in life is in vain. Song Yi shuttled through the Wumart Supermarket in 2001. Looking at the endless flow of people in the supermarket, Song Yi had a sense of the intertwined time and space of history.

Song Yi pushed the shopping cart, Liao Yu held Song Miao's hand, and Song Mingzhe and his wife walked behind. Zhou Shulan felt relieved when she saw that Song Yi would still joke with Liao Yu from time to time.

If there are two colleagues of the opposite sex in the workplace who obviously work in the same department and get along with each other day and night, but rarely talk to each other and deliberately avoid suspicion, there is a high probability that there is something going on between these two people.

However, if two colleagues of the opposite sex often joke around and talk about hanging out together on the weekend, this is often just a matter of words, but in fact they are peaceful.

The New Year shopping was almost done. Liao Yu finally wanted to buy a pair of couplets, but Song Yi stopped her. "What couplets should I buy? Since my father is here, I must leave the couplets to him to write."

Song Mingzhe disagreed, "I used to do the writing every year, but this year I'm lazy and you write it yourself. Won't you give me back all the calligraphy I taught you to write?"

Song Yi felt a little guilty, "Dad, I haven't practiced calligraphy for a long time, and it's hard for me to be elegant. If I had known, I might as well have bought one at Wumart just now, so as not to show my shame and make the neighbors laugh."

"In this way, you will not write the couplet in vain. In the second half of the year, our Xinhan Advertising will plan a lecture program with the CCTV Science and Education Channel called "Hundred Schools Forum". We will invite domestic universities majoring in Chinese, history, ancient Chinese and other related professor, giving lessons to TV viewers.”

"When the time comes, we will send an invitation to Bianzhou University through the program team and invite you to come to Yenching University to record the program. You will also be able to get a notification fee. What do you think?" Song Yi said.

Song Mingzhe was moved, and he asked Song Yi, "Then what should I mainly tell the audience?"

Song Yi replied: "Just talk about the history you are good at. Just choose a theme for each episode. For example, Huang Taiji died of illness, why Dorgon supported Fulin to ascend the throne, and why the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang married Dorgon. When the time comes Maybe I can write a TV script called "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang"."

Song Mingzhe was dissatisfied with Song Yi's attitude, "Is that history? That is unofficial history. History is very serious and cannot be tampered with."

Song Yi originally wanted to reply, "History is originally written by the victors." He then thought about it and said, forget it, there is no need to trouble the old man during the New Year.

The professors invited by "Baijia Lecture Forum" have varying levels of quality. Coupled with the rise of short video self-media, this program has gradually declined. However, this program has also made professors such as Yu Dan, Yi Zhongtian, and Kang Zhen famous, making them both famous and wealthy. This is also an opportunity for Song Mingzhe. Song Mingzhe can at least tell the audience that the Manchu-Han Banquet belongs to China through the program.
