Chapter 116 Too high to reach
Bai Wanru pondered how to talk to Tian Ersan.

After considering it for about ten seconds, I decided to get straight to the point and not beat around the bush.

Unless each person has a specific goal they must achieve, the most effective way to communicate is to be straightforward and speak openly.

This circle actually doesn't like riddle tellers.

No circle likes riddle-makers, especially when asking for favors or discussing collaborations; the more straightforward the better.

Otherwise, others will pretend they didn't understand and won't respond.

Communication should be simple and direct, especially in matters like arranged marriages; dragging things out is bad for both parties.

High-level marriage alliances are always straightforward. From ancient times of marriage alliances to modern unions between two large families, decisions are generally made quickly rather than slowly developing feelings.

"What does Mr. Tian think of my daughter?"

Tian Ersan: Huh? That's your daughter. I thought she was your secretary or assistant. Anyway, she's not as pretty as you. I've forgotten what she looks like.

Bai Wanru stared angrily at her phone. Luckily, her daughter wasn't there, or she would have burst into tears.

This bastard!

"It seems Mr. Tian isn't interested in my Nuanyue anymore. I thought you two young people would have a lot in common."

Bai Wanru sent a voice message, still somewhat reluctant to part.

This bastard is the best candidate right now, and most importantly, my daughter likes him too.

It's a good thing for the family, the group, and the daughter. Even Bai Wanru admitted that her daughter might not be a good match for this outstanding young man.

Tian Ersan: No, I am a non-marriage and non-childbearing advocate. I don't plan to rely on anyone, nor do I want to marry anyone. Besides, I have no shortage of women or money around me.

Both of them made their points very clear.

Bai Wanru also sighed.

"Mr. Tian is a straightforward and sincere person. I was presumptuous."

Tian Ersan: Okay, I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight.

Bai Wanru: Good night.

The first encounter between the two parties was not pleasant, but there were no harsh words exchanged, and they got to know each other to some extent and were able to have a conversation.

To avoid being set up, Tian Ersan returned to Tao County overnight.

Upon returning, Tian Ersan sat in his office reviewing the recent business.

Zhou Shanshan reported: "President Tian, ​​we currently have an average of 10,000 to 20,000 orders per day, mainly T-shirts. The warehouse has already stocked 900,000 pieces of clothing. The warehouse was worried that too much stock would cause a fire, so they opened another warehouse."

Tian Ersan looked at the bright autumn day outside.

"Just open a warehouse to store them, and the garment factory can continue production."

The clothes weren't afraid of being stockpiled, and Tian Ersan also had channels to sell these goods.

Zhou Shanshan nodded: "Yes, Mr. Tian!"

Wang Linlin also stood up and said, "President Tian, ​​the county sent some canned goods over to sell to us. I took a look and found that those canned goods are much worse than those from Sweetheart Factory."

"Many of the canned peaches had chips in them and were a bit dark in color, so we stopped buying those canned peaches. Later, the county called us several times, saying they hoped we could help."

Tian Ersan asked, "Did you help?"

Wang Linlin looked at Tian Ersan and said shyly, "I said we'll talk about it when President Tian comes back."

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Linlin did a good job. We can't accept those defective canned goods; selling them will only damage our reputation."

Zhou Shanshan remembered her family's canned goods.

"Were the canned goods in my house good or bad?"

Tian Ersan replied, "It's definitely not good. I only ordered it because I was in a hurry to ship the goods. Later I found out that it's more profitable to cooperate with big brands. Is your dad thinking of starting a cannery again this year?"

Zhou Shanshan said irritably, "He might want to, but after he pulls me out of here and makes me work in an electronics factory, how can he have the face to open a cannery and sell to you?"

Tian Ersan thought for a moment and said, "I think your dad doesn't know anything else. He saw that other people are making money from canned food, so he'll probably start doing it again."

Zhou Shanshan remained silent, pondering the matter.

Tian Ersan continued, "Next year, Tao Chunyang and his group will build a factory here to buy yellow peaches and make canned goods. They will only buy high-quality yellow peaches. A large number of canneries in our county will definitely go out of business next year. Also, there will be a lot of yellow peaches being bought from other places next year. If your father does this now, he will definitely lose money."

Zhou Shanshan was very annoyed at this moment.

"I don't care, do whatever you want. Anyway, I don't want a single penny from them. Everything will go to my son in the future, so let them rely on him!"

Tian Ersan laughed and said, "Maybe they'll call you home to get married, and then collect a bride price to help your brother find a wife!" He wasn't trying to incite or sow discord among the families; this kind of thing would definitely happen to Zhou Shanshan.

From the day Zhou Shanshan's mother publicly slapped her, Tian Ersan could foresee Zhou Shanshan's future.

If Zhou Shanshan doesn't escape this family, she will be exploited by them for decades.

"I'm not going home!" Zhou Shanshan looked at Tian Ersan firmly, determined not to go back and get married!

Suo Birou looked at Zhou Shanshan and said in surprise, "Are your family members that bad? I only have one younger brother, but my mother is very good to us. She knows I work here and tells me to work hard and keep the money for myself."

Tian Ersan smiled and continued working.

Zhang Shuya looked at Suo Birou and asked, "What's going on with your family? Are you very poor? I don't know anything about your family situation."

Suo Birou smiled and said, "It's alright. My family is even worse off than Zhou Shanshan's. My dad drives a three-wheeled truck to sell fish. Every morning at one or two o'clock, he goes to the city to pick up fish and bring them to town to sell. My mom and my sister help out."

“My eldest sister is a fool. She’s 26 or 27 and it’s hard for her to get married. She can’t even do basic accounting. All she can do is help my mom with manual labor. If she goes out, she’ll definitely get scammed and sold.”

“My second sister is twenty-four. She had a boyfriend who dumped her and ran away. She now washes dishes in the county for 1,300 a month.”

“My third sister is a year older than me. She works as a teacher at the town’s kindergarten and earns a little over a thousand yuan a month.”

“I’ve done all sorts of jobs. My mom says I’m shrewd and she doesn’t need to worry about me working outside. I can send two thousand yuan home every month.”

"I also have a younger sister who is in her first year of high school and a younger brother who is in elementary school. Anyway, we're doing alright. We grow vegetables and farm, so we don't starve."

Tian Ersan looked at this always smiling and outgoing girl and asked, "Where do you live?"

Suo Birou replied, "I live in the countryside. My house is even more dilapidated than Mr. Tian's old house. It has three old rooms and a courtyard gate. The courtyard is all mud when it rains. There is also a pear tree. My neighbor built a three-story building, which blocks all the light from our house."

Tian Ersan wasn't the type to help people easily, but he still felt sympathy for this person next to him.

Have you told your parents about what happened to me?

Tian Ersan still remembered that this family used dish soap to brush their teeth and wash their hair. He originally thought it was extremely shameless, but after hearing the description, he felt that it was normal for them not to wash their hair or brush their teeth.

People who use dish soap to brush their teeth, wash their hair, and wash their face are mostly doing so on rare occasions when they need to appear respectable.

Suo Birou was unsure of Tian Ersan's attitude, so she carefully replied, "I didn't say anything, but I sent three thousand yuan back home. My parents must think I did something shameful."

Tian Ersan didn't know whether Suo Birou's father was feeling bad or not; on the contrary, he himself felt bad.

"You should have said so earlier." Tian Ersan said helplessly, "If your parents beat you and didn't care about you, I definitely wouldn't care about them either. But from your description, your parents are very good to you. Your family has it tough, so I definitely have to help them."

Suo Birou said happily but shyly, "But I haven't done anything for you yet, boss, so I feel bad. President Tian has already given me a bonus. What I mean is that after we get to know each other better... I should do some work first before asking for a salary, right?"

Tian Ersan felt a little embarrassed by what was said.

"Don't talk about other things while we're working." Tian Ersan stopped this inappropriate topic and said, "I'm too busy to meddle in other people's business. Here's 100,000 yuan. Use it for your family first. Consider it a loan from me. Just write an IOU at the accounting department. I won't charge you interest."

Suo Birou said happily, "Thank you, President Tian!!!"

Tian Ersan did not arrange jobs for Suo Birou's family members, nor did he solve her sister's schooling problem, nor did he care about how Suo Birou resolved her family's affairs.

Giving money is the best solution; Tian Ersan spends money to pay for his sympathy.

Ten thousand yuan is nothing to Tian Ersan.

If a problem can be solved with money, then solve it with money. But don't get involved in anything messy, and don't have contact with the other party's parents, sisters, brothers, or other extended family. Maintain a safe distance.

The other family's problems are for them to solve themselves; Tian Ersan doesn't care about such things.

If you're involved in many things, it's like arranging jobs for the other person's parents, arranging jobs for the other person's three older sisters, even marriage arrangements, taking care of the other person's younger siblings' schooling, and maybe even helping to arrange jobs for them in the future.

Whoever wants to be the good guy can be.

If Suo Birou has a bad attitude or performs poorly, Tian Ersan will only ask for the money back.
Suo Birou's current job is a receptionist, not in the office, but she always likes to come into the office to play. In front of Tian Ersan, she sticks out her butt and lies on the table to chat with other women, deliberately showing off her good figure.

Suo Birou clearly understood better than Zhou Shanshan how hard-won this job was.

Given her own abilities, it would be difficult for her to have a decent job in such a large company; all she could find were lowly jobs.

Zhou Shanshan, on the contrary, didn't realize this because she had come so easily.

In society, girls of their age who are considered troublemakers are basically just money-making tools for a group of petty thugs, living a depraved, dirty life with no future.

The immense grievances Zhou Shanshan felt were nothing but a joke to Suo Birou.

Suo Birou was not the only one who understood this; Zhang Shuya did as well.

Zhang Shuya knew very well that Tian Ersan would eventually lose interest in her, so she was very clear about the value of her current job. Once she threw a tantrum and resigned like Zhou Shanshan, even if she came back, they would never be able to reconcile as before.
