Reborn IT Giant

Chapter 172 Li Jiandong

According to Village Chief Xu, Li Jiandong was only in his early thirties. If the village chief hadn't been right next to him, Zheng Yan would never have associated the man who looked at least forty years old with Li Jiandong.

After Li Yan heard what the village chief said, she also discovered her father who had come to work.

"dad!"

After Li Yan saw her father, she ran directly towards him, followed by her little brother who looked like a little tail.

When Li Jiandong saw his daughter and son, he changed his tired state and looked at the children with a loving expression. In addition to loving them, he also obviously felt deeply guilty.

"Jiandong, this is Manager Zheng from the factory. I just happened to come to your house today. You and Manager Zheng have a chat."

Although Zheng Yan did not say that he came specifically for Li Jiandong, Village Chief Xu still went out of his way to create opportunities for Li Jiandong.

"Hello, Manager Zheng."

"Don't call me Manager Zheng. My name is Zheng Yan. Just call me by my first name. You're probably not much older than me, so I'll call you Brother Dong."

"Yanyan, go and get some benches from the house. That's Zheng Yan, right? There's no place to stand in the house. If you don't mind, let's chat here."

Although Li Jiandong knew that this exchange with Zheng Yan might have an impact on whether he could go to work in the factory and was very important to his family, he did not show any flattery, which was normal between the two.

Exchange dialogue.

Originally, Zheng Yan had a very good impression of Li Jiandong through the village chief's narration, but now Li Jiandong's neither humble nor overbearing attitude has gained a lot of points in Zheng Yan's heart.

Not long after Yanyan entered the room, she took out a bench. There was also a woman who came out with her. She looked younger, maybe because she didn't work very hard, but her legs were obviously inconvenient and she was using a pair of crutches. Zheng Yan knew that this

That's Yanyan's mother, Xu Na.

After Xu Na came out, she simply said hello to everyone, and then sat aside and listened to everyone's chat without any intention of interrupting.

Zheng Yan was originally only interested in Li Yan, but now she is also curious about Li Jiandong.

"Brother Dong, I heard from Village Chief Xu that you were an educated youth who went to the countryside. Don't you know where your hometown is?"

When Zheng Yan mentioned the other party's hometown, Li Jiandong showed a thoughtful expression, with some longing.

, some worries, and some guilt.

"My hometown is in Shanghai, but I haven't been back for many years."

What surprised Zheng Yan was that both of them were originally from Shanghai.

"I feel that Yanyan and I are destined. It turns out that our hometowns are in the same place. But in the past two years, because I went to the capital to attend university, my family all moved to the capital. By the way, Brother Dong, you are still living with your hometown.

Is there any contact?”

"We were in contact a few years ago. I originally thought I would take them back together to see my children when they were older. But since the child's mother had an accident, we have no contact again."

An ancient saying goes: If wealth does not return to its hometown, it is like walking in brocade at night. No matter who it is, everyone hopes to return to their hometown in brocade, so Li Jiandong's behavior is not difficult to understand.

"Speaking of which, I want to apologize to you. I met Yanyan this morning and I misunderstood you because of some things."

Li Jiandong also felt a little strange when he heard Zheng Yan's words. However, after Zheng Yan explained it, he understood what was going on.

"Anyway, I'm really sorry for the child Yanyan. Yanyan has been very smart since she was a child, and she also likes to go to school. But as her father, I can't even satisfy her this wish."

Speaking of Yanyan's schooling, the guilt on Li Jiandong's face deepened.

In Zheng Yan's view, Li Jiandong was at least a good father. According to Zheng Yan's knowledge, one of the conditions for the educated youth who went to the countryside to return to the city to rebel was that they did not get married and have children there.

Countless educated youths who were married and had children abandoned their wives and children in order to escape the mountains and return to the city. There are very few people like Li Jiandong who are willing to stay for the sake of their wives and children.

"Brother Dong, you don't have to worry about Yanyan's schooling. From now on, the company can help you advance Yanyan's schooling fees. I believe that with Yanyan's studiousness, she should be able to get a reduced quota."

"In addition, I would like to know about my sister-in-law's physical condition. I heard from the village chief that she broke her leg due to an accident. Isn't it possible to cure her?"

Zheng Yan felt that she was really destined to be with Li Jiandong's family, and couldn't help but want to help them.

"No, no, no, my leg doesn't need treatment. If you have money, I'll leave it to my children for schooling."

Xu Na, who has not spoken since she came out, heard that

He wanted to help himself heal, so he quickly interrupted.

Xu Na knew best about the situation at home. As an educated youth who went to the mountains and countryside, Li Jiandong was not a high-level intellectual, but he was definitely considered educated in this place, so Li Jiandong paid special attention to the education of his children.

Now asking Li Yan to drop out of school shows how difficult it has become. Xu Na really doesn't want to increase the burden on her husband, let alone delay the child by treating herself.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. If your leg can be cured, I can help you solve the money problem first. When you have money later, you can pay me back."

"Moreover, if your leg can be cured, it will be fine whether you focus on taking care of your children or going to work in a factory. Brother Dong doesn't need to worry about taking care of you and your children. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone."

Regardless of Li Jiandong's academic qualifications, just by looking at the hardships he has experienced and his attitude in facing them, Zheng Yan can be sure that as long as he is well trained, he can definitely be entrusted with important tasks.

A person's abilities can be cultivated, but his character is difficult to change, and his character is even harder to change.

The reason why Zheng Yan allowed multiple investors to invest in the company was because no one was available. Now, Zheng Yan intends to train Li Jiandong to become his spokesperson for this company.

"Brother, can my mother's leg be cured? Then...then I won't go to school, as long as I can cure my mother's leg."

When Li Yan said this, although there was some regret in her eyes, her tone was very firm. This shows how difficult it was for Li Yan to make the decision to give up school.

Everyone around was deeply moved by the child's innocence. Li Jiandong and his wife even held back the tears in their eyes to prevent them from flowing out.

"Yanyan, don't worry, your mother's leg can be cured and you can continue to go to school. And in the future, your brother can also go to school."

"Really?"

After Li Yan heard Zheng Yan's words, her originally disappointed expression became full of brilliance again.

"Mom, eldest brother said your leg can be cured, and my brother and I can both go to school, wuwu..."

After Li Yan received Zheng Yan's affirmative reply, she hugged Xu Na and started crying.

Xu Na also comforted Li Yan while wiping away her tears.
