Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 462: Troublemakers
At noon, at Tiancheng’s home.

Xu Zhiquan cooked himself and prepared a table full of dishes, which were naturally all Xu Chen's favorites.

Some of the main dishes, such as braised beef, lotus root dumplings, and meatballs, were prepared last night, so it didn't take much effort to get the food on the table.

Xu Chen took a shower upstairs, changed into home clothes, and went to the restaurant to wait for dinner to start.

Lao Xu took off his apron, sat down, and opened a bottle of wine with a smile on his face.

Xu Chen took the bottle from his father and filled it up for him.

He landed at the provincial capital airport early this morning, and Xu Zhiquan drove over to pick him up personally.

Mr. Xu happened to have some free time these two days. His son was home for the winter vacation, so Xu Zhiquan drove to the provincial capital airport himself...

Lao Xu took a sip of wine and said:
"I have been living in the park for a while now, and I don't go back home often."

He helped Xu Chen pick up a piece of fried lotus root:

"If you think it's inconvenient to stay at home during the winter vacation, I'll find you a hotel in the city to sleep in."

Xu Chen: "Dad, there's no need to be so troublesome.

I live at home and have plenty of free time, so I can drive back and forth every day.

Besides, I can sleep in Jinfeng Building, it’s also very quiet there.”

Xu Zhiquan nodded.

He paused, then smiled and said, "I've also been thinking about buying a house in the city. The transportation here in my hometown is still too far."

Xu Chen became interested: "Which house did you like, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Zhiquan: "I'm too busy and haven't started watching yet!"

He chuckled:

“However, there are several newly built villa areas in the west of the city, and Dad is going to take a look.

The developer is a friend I knew before, so I can get an internal price.”

Xu Chen helped his father fill up his glass:
"Congratulations in advance, Mr. Xu!"

Xu Zhiquan picked up the cup and took a sip of wine, then looked around at the two-story building at home and said with emotion:

"When your mother was alive, she suffered a lot with me. She didn't even have the chance to live in this small building..."

Seeing how sad his father was, Xu Chen filled his glass with wine and said to comfort him:

"Our business and life are so good now. It must be because of my mother's blessing."

Xu Zhiquan laughed heartily.

Xu Chen thought of something else:
"Wu Feifei's mother went to Shanghai and will visit the office today.

Nie Fei just sent me a message, and I just found out about it."

Xu Zhiquan put down the wine glass he was holding:

"That's a serious matter..."

Wu Feifei's mother is naturally the wife of the big leader.

Xu Chen said:

"I've told Nie Fei that she will entertain us seriously. Sister Fei has a high emotional intelligence and will definitely not neglect us.

In addition, I asked Wu Feifei before, but she also didn’t allow me to entertain her specially.

Mother Wu was just visiting her daughter in Shanghai, and she was probably curious about my company, so she said she wanted to take a look. "

Xu Zhiquan nodded:
"I'll ask Fang Jun later. She is also very familiar with Mother Wu in private."

Xu Chen: "Dad, are you going back to the park this afternoon? Please take me there. I also want to see Teacher Fang Jun."

Xu Zhiquan: “I have to go to the nursery project this afternoon.

Your fourth uncle has returned from the county below, and we will go to the construction site together this afternoon..."

As he spoke, Xu Zhiquan took out another set of car keys and handed them to Xu Chen:

"I'll leave that Accord to you. You can drive it during this period."

Xu Chen took the car keys:
"Dad, didn't you say you wanted to buy a Mercedes-Benz S? Haven't you made the move yet?"

Xu Zhiquan smiled happily:
"I have already ordered a car in the provincial capital, but the Mercedes-Benz S is in short supply and I can only get it after the New Year."

Xu Chen quickly filled Lao Xu's glass with wine:

"Congratulations, Mr. Xu!"

……

……

In the afternoon, Xu Zhiquan drove out alone in the Odyssey business car.

Xu Chen still felt a little strange. Why didn't he see Li Rui or Fang Tao coming to drive?
He cleaned the table by himself, went upstairs to change his clothes, and then drove out.

……

Xu Chen drove his father's black Accord towards the city and couldn't help but think of what happened last year.

At that time, Xu Zhiquan bought this second-hand Accord and went to the gate of Tiancheng No. 1 Middle School to pick up Xu Chen and take him home, feeling quite proud of it.

In just one year, Mr. Xu was ready to upgrade his car to a Mercedes-Benz S, and the Xu family business was also growing rapidly.

……

……

Half an hour later, the black Accord drove into the Morning Breeze Park.

Xu Chen parked his car under the comprehensive building, locked it and went upstairs.

I met a few unfamiliar young people in the corridor, both men and women, and I didn't know which department they were from.

Someone recognized Xu Chen and quickly called him "Mr. Xu" politely.

Xu Chen smiled and didn't talk much, and walked straight to the Finance Department.

"Is that the legendary Mr. Xu?"

"Ah? The boss's son?"

"He looks gentle and refined, but he doesn't have any dandy temperament!"

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful Zhao Feng and the others will punish you."

"Ah? Why?"

"You just got here and don't know anything. Anyway, Mr. Xu is called 'Mr. Xu' not just because he is Mr. Xu's son."

……

……

Finance Office.

Xu Chen knocked on the open door and walked in with a smile.

There were five or six young people in the finance office, two of whom Xu Chen knew, Gu Xuewei and Jiang Xiaozhen.

When Guangming Factory was still a government-owned enterprise, these two young men were colleagues at the same level as Fang Jun, but now they all call Fang Jun "Mr. Fang".

Previously, there were two women in their 40s and 50s in the Finance Department. They seemed to be “relatives” of the previous Guangming Factory leaders. Later, Xu Zhiquan also found a way to clear them out…

"Mr. Xu, you are here!"

Gu Xuewei was very considerate and had already stood up to greet them.

The other young men then quickly followed suit and called him "Mr. Xu".

"Where is your President Fang?"

Gu Xuewei: "Mr. Fang has been called to a meeting by Director Yang. He should be back soon."

As he was speaking, a cough was heard behind him.

Turning around, I saw Sister Fang Jun coming back with a stack of documents in her hand.

She was wearing a long dark grey down jacket and her ponytail was still standing up high.

"Hello, Teacher Fang Jun!" Xu Chen greeted him obediently.

Fang Jun still had his usual expressionless face: "Wait for me, I'll grab my bag and leave!"

Xu Chen asked Fang Jun to go out today and they were going to "Tiansheng Mansion".

Xie Bingran entrusted Fang Jun to clean up the house. He said that the basic appliances have been installed. If there is enough time this afternoon, they can go and choose furniture together.

……

A few minutes later, as the two walked downstairs, Fang Jun handed a stack of printed materials to Xu Chen:
"I found a designer who does soft furnishings. This is the plan he came up with. You can take a look at it first."

Xu Chen reached out and took it:

"Sister Fang Jun is so thoughtful!"

He flipped through it casually and felt that the plans in his hand were very stylish, and they did not seem like something that a designer from a small place like Tiancheng could do.

Sure enough, Fang Jun said:

“I am a designer who graduated from the Architecture College in the provincial capital, and I am currently doing architectural design in the provincial capital.

It just so happened that they had cooperated with me before when I was decorating my house, so I contacted them again. ”

Xu Chen flipped through the materials in his hand:
"These three plans have different styles, and each has its own style."

He thought about it and said, I'll take a photo and send it to Sister Bing later, or let her choose.

Fang Jun: "She likes the first one, but she also said that she would let you decide." It turned out that Brother Bing had already seen it.

Xu Chen looked at the first plan, which was a simple style of black, white and gray, and the sofas in the living room were all pure black.

Sure enough, it is in line with the cold tone of "Brother Bing".

"Not bad, quite suitable for Brother Bing!" Xu Chen said.

"But is it easy to buy furniture of this style in Tiancheng?"

Fang Jun: “Everything that the designer has put into the plan has a physical product.

I have already made all the contacts and will go to the site to check the product quality in the next two days.

If you order now, we should be able to install it for you before the New Year.”

Xu Chen: "Thank you, Sister Fang Jun, you are really reliable."

Fang Jun:

“The designer still has a fee of 20,000 yuan, which I will pay for as a housewarming gift for you and Brother Bing.

You have to pay for the furniture yourself. The furniture we choose is not a big brand but it is of good quality, so it will be a bit expensive.”

Xu Chen: "How can I let Sister Fang Jun pay? I have to pay for the design fee too!"

Fang Jun: "Just let me drink your wedding wine as soon as possible."

Xu Chen: “…”

……

……

Tiansheng Mansion.

As soon as I entered the room, I felt a burst of brightness.

Although Fang Jun still had no expression on his face, he was obviously a little proud. He took Xu Chen to look around again and again.

“Water heater, air conditioner, washing machine, dryer…

Don’t worry about the brand, I only pick high-end products.”

"We adjusted the lighting. The original lighting design by the developer was too glaring. After the adjustment, it is brighter and the light sources are hidden."

“The existing kitchen and bathroom facilities have not been replaced for you yet.

The brand provided by the developer is also average and can be used for two years.

An electric clothes drying rack was installed on the balcony, and bathroom heaters were installed in both bathrooms..."

Xu Chen looked at the large appliances:

"Thank you, almighty Sister Fang Jun!"

Fang Jun took Xu Chen to the balcony. She looked at the scenery in the yard and said:
"I asked a friend who knows Feng Shui to look at it, and he said this house is very good, because it is in a good position to avoid bad luck.

The existing layout is already very good and no additional adjustments are needed.”

Xu Chen: "Sister Fang Jun also knows Feng Shui?"

Fang Jun: “You still have to believe in Feng Shui.

It turns out that the problem with Guangming Factory was that the feng shui of the main door was problematic...

Don't worry now, I've asked your father to tear down the gate and rebuild it."

"..."

Xu Chen was speechless. No wonder he found the gate had been demolished and rebuilt the last time he came back.

At that time I just felt that it had become more grand, but it turned out that there were Feng Shui considerations behind it.

"Don't worry about the new campus and new building under construction, they have already been inspected by a master."

Xu Chen gave a thumbs up to Sister Fang Jun:
"You are truly our God of Wealth!"

He remembered something else:
"The Shanghai company also needs a colleague to help manage the finances."

Fang Jun thought for a moment and said, "I can't pull out the people under my command now.

You can just hire a finance person in Shanghai, but after joining the company, he or she will need to come to Tiancheng for two weeks for training.

You need to be familiar with the parent company’s financial processes and financial tools so that there won’t be any problems when you connect with them later.”

Xu Chen: "Okay, then I'll let Sister Fei arrange it.

After passing her interview, I will let Sister Fang Jun check it out."

Fang Jun: "Okay."

She glanced at her phone:

"Let's go downstairs. I'll call the designer to go directly to the building materials and furniture market with us.

You drove us.”

Xu Chen: "No problem."

He was a little puzzled again: "Why haven't I seen Li Rui, Fang Tao and others in the past two days?
I don’t think I saw Zhao Feng’s group of brothers at the entrance of the park.”

Fang Jun: "Guo Liang is using them, and your father knows about this."

Xu Chen was stunned, frowned and felt confused.

"What does Guo Liang use them for?"

Fang Jun seemed a little hesitant, but still explained:

“Morning Breeze Ice has gained momentum, but it has also attracted the envy of some competitors.

If we want to expand the entire northern market now, we will threaten other people's business...

Our two directly-operated stores in Tiancheng and the provincial capital have been frequently visited by troublemakers in recent days.

Guo Liang discussed with General Manager Xu and decided to transfer Li Rui, Zhao Feng and others there first."

Xu Chen took a breath, knowing that this was going to be a troublesome matter.

"Why didn't my dad tell me?"

Fang Jun: "Maybe he doesn't want you to get involved?"

She paused:

“Don’t worry too much, your father is prudent and reliable, and he has weighed all the pros and cons.

Li Rui, Zhao Feng and others were sent out only to solve the current troubles and to hold off any further trouble.

Our county town is not like Beijing and Shanghai. For some things, we can only deal with them by using corresponding special means.

Li Rui, Zhao Feng and the others are all sensible now and won't do anything out of line."

Xu Chen: "With Li Rui here, I'm not particularly worried...

Mainly on Guo Liang's side, it sounds like there are a lot of obstacles in expanding distribution."

Fang Jun: “Of course there is a lot of resistance.

There are now two large electric vehicle manufacturers occupying the northern market, and they are also closely tied to dealers.

Now that Morningwind Technology has jumped out to disrupt the situation and grab market share, the other party will definitely take action.

In the past two months alone, we have already torn a hole in the electric vehicle market in the provincial capital and Tiancheng, and "Morning Wind Technology" will inevitably be targeted by competitors.

The two largest electric car manufacturers and dealers in the north today both started out in the 1980s and 1990s.

In the early years, he did all kinds of things, using many black and white means, and was also a local tyrant in some provinces and cities.

This is the disadvantage of doing business in the north. The business environment in the south may be better now, without such problems. "

Xu Chen frowned:

"Mr. Guo is in the company, right?"

Fang Jun: "I'm on a business trip. I should be back tomorrow."

Xu Chen: "Then I'll talk to him."

Fang Jun: “Don’t worry too much.

Mr. Xu and Guo Liang are trying to find a solution, and they both have some ideas.

Chenfeng is now a key enterprise in the city and even the province, and your father still has some connections there.

There is no need to worry too much about Tiancheng or even the entire Wen Province. We are a local enterprise. Wu Yongming has taken your father to the province to meet some people.

The distribution development and product distribution in the entire Wen Province will be fully completed around the Chinese New Year.

Let Li Rui and Zhao Feng hold off the little hooligans who are causing trouble now, and they will be completely dealt with in a few days."

Xu Chen: "What about outside Wenzhou?"

Fang Jun: "Wait for Guo Liang to come back tomorrow and then you can discuss it in detail.

I think Mr. Xu and Guo Liang both have some tricks and connections.”

……

I went downstairs and the designer was already waiting for me.

She was a lady in her thirties, wearing a plain windbreaker and light makeup.

"Hello, Mr. Xu. Nice to meet you! My name is Xiao Yingxue, you can just call me Shirley."

"Nice to meet you, just call me Xu Chen!"
