My courtyard shelter

Three days later, Sunday.

At 2:15 in the afternoon, Xu Dong arrived at the appointment on time with his little cotton-padded jacket. The "interview" location was chosen in a high-end teahouse near the city center.

Lele specially put on professional attire.

In order to keep warm, I also put on a white knee-length down jacket on the outside.

The down jacket was specially made by Yang Lina. It was just a few days after I got it back. It uses duck down and goose down that I had saved at home. It is absolutely genuine.

In total, I made more than thirty down jackets of various sizes.

The whole family has one.

As the initiator of this meeting, Xu Dong deliberately arrived fifteen minutes early, but he didn't expect that the other party would come earlier than him, which was a bit surprising.

"There's a traffic jam on the road and I've kept you waiting for a long time."

"It's okay. Actually, I came here early. I just finished the meeting at noon. I thought I had nothing to do, so I came here to sit for a while and just relax."

"Mr. Lu, you are very busy and you don't have any rest on weekends. It's too hard."

Mr. Lu in Xu Dong's name, whose full name is Lu Zhengyi, was transferred to Sydney just last year and currently serves as the general manager of Sydney Electric Power Company.

The two had met several times before.

This meeting was due to Mr. Fei's relationship.

"In troubled times, you can't help yourself!"

Mr. Lu sighed with emotion.

Xu Dong reached out and shook hands with the other party, and then introduced his little cotton-padded jacket:

"Mr. Lu, this is the second oldest child in our family. He just graduated from college this year and is currently unemployed. Please take good care of him in the future."

Lele immediately took the initiative to greet me: "Hello, Uncle Lu, my name is Xu Le. I graduated from the University of Sydney. You can just call me Lele."

"It turns out that he is a top student at Xuedao University. He is indeed a tiger father and a dogless daughter. It is enviable!"

"Mr. Lu, you are exaggerating. In fact, I don't have many requirements for her. As long as she can find a stable job and live a peaceful life, I will be satisfied."

Xu Dong directly revealed his feelings.

"Uncle Lu, please sit down and chat with my dad. My dad brought green tea. Do you want to try it?"

Lele took out a can of tea from her bag.

"Okay!" Mr. Lu smiled and nodded, "The tea your dad brought here must be tasted. To be honest, your uncle and I are a good tea person, especially green tea."

"The ordinary tea grown at home is not a famous tea. Just don't dislike it."

Xu Dong said politely.

Mr. Lu waved his hand quickly: "It's rare to be able to drink green tea, so how can you be picky?"

"If you are used to drinking, ask Lele to bring you two kilograms later. Don't be too little. We only have half an acre of tea garden in total, and the output is really limited."

"Then I will be disrespectful!"

Mr. Lu smiled and accepted the other party's kindness on the spot.

On the one hand, I really like drinking tea;

On the other hand, the quantity of tea was too small to qualify as a bribe, and since it was grown by the other party, it could only be regarded as a courtesy at best.

In just a few words, Lele has skillfully made three cups of tea.

Putting a cup in front of Mr. Lu: "Uncle Lu, please use it slowly!"

"Thanks!"

Put a cup in front of Dad.

The last cup is yours.

"Mr. Lu, please..." Xu Dong stretched out his hand to signal.

Mr. Lu picked up the tea cup, first smelled the tea, and then tasted it carefully.

"The taste is mellow, bitter but not astringent. It is indeed a good tea! Mr. Xu, I suggest you register a trademark quickly. This tea has the potential to become a famous tea, and it will definitely shine in the future."

"Forget registering a trademark, there are too many chores in the company, where can I find the time?"

Xu Dong made a random excuse.

What kind of good tea can be grown in a greenhouse?

The other party was obviously flattering, and he was really self-aware that he would lose.

Lele took the opportunity to help Mr. Lu and his father refill their water.

Mr. Lu raised his hand and patted his head: "I'm overthinking it. With such a big industry, Mr. Xu, there is really no need to care about such a small profit."

"It's not about money. The key is that it's time-consuming and labor-intensive. The cultivation conditions for tea are harsh. Small-scale cultivation is fine, but problems can easily arise on a large scale."

Xu Dong explained casually.

Their half-acre tea garden took a long time to successfully grow. After all, tea is very demanding on soil, water quality, light and heat, and other conditions.

…

After some small talk, we finally talked about work. Lele took out her prepared resume on the spot and handed it to Mr. Lu personally.

"Uncle Lu, this is my resume, please take a look."

"Okay, let me take a look first."

Mr. Lu took the resume and looked through it "seriously".

In fact, these are just formalities.

The daughter of the richest man's family came out to look for a job. It was a matter of just a few words. Plus Director Xu was barely considered an insider of their power system, so it could basically be done with just one phone call.

The reason for this meeting is to give me face.

Mr. Lu read quickly and soon turned to the work experience page.

I saw him suddenly say "Hey".

Lele immediately asked: "Uncle Lu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with your resume?"

"There's nothing wrong with your resume, but I never expected that you, Lele, are the founder of the famous 'Little Bowl Soup'."

"Uncle Lu, have you heard of small bowl of soup?"

"Of course, your aunt is a loyal customer of 'Little Bowl Soup'. She goes there almost every weekend. Sometimes she even packs a portion for me to take back. It tastes really good."

Mr. Lu nodded.

Xu Dong suddenly said modestly: "She drove it for fun, but she lost patience after only two years of operation. Now the store has been thrown aside."

"Dad, I didn't ignore it. Hasn't the store always been running well? Did it even open a branch last year?" Lele said unconvinced.

"Lele, isn't it good to open a store? Why don't you continue to open a store? It's so free to be your own boss. You don't have to commute to get off work on time every day."

Mr. Lu asked the doubts in his heart.

"How can it be so good? Being a boss is too busy. You have to worry about everything, big and small. You don't even have time for holidays. The key is to just forget about being busy. You won't make much money. It's just a waste of time."

Xu Dong glared at his youngest daughter: "I think you're just too lazy. A profit of hundreds of millions a year is still too small? Your sister's company only made tens of millions last year. According to your wishes, we might as well directly Forget about closing the door?”

"The profit of hundreds of millions is really not that small. Of course, if you compare it with your father, it is really not impressive."

Mr. Lu joked with a smile.

"Uncle Lu, you are absolutely right. A slight increase in Xinke Seaweed's stock price will equal my profit for thirty years. It's discouraging to think about it."

Xu Dong waved his hand gently: "Everything is relative. Since the stock price can rise, it can also fall again. Without solid performance support, no matter how high the stock price is, it is still a bubble."

"Lele, your father's words are true. Seriously speaking, the performance of your 'Little Bowl Soup' is more stable. If it is well run, it will be difficult to lose money."

Lele nodded: "Uncle Lu, I didn't say give up the business, I just don't want to invest too much energy. Don't I even have the right to choose my life?"

"Of course, uncle supports you."

Mr. Lu felt a little emotional for a while.

For ordinary people, survival is the most fundamental issue. They can only be carried forward by life, so they have no right to be picky.
