Kneeling in front of my wife’s tombstone and crying bitterly, I was reborn

When Shen Qiansan returned home, Luo Rong asked hesitantly, "Is Shubao gone?"

She knew that Chen Shubao was leaving today, and she was the one who saw him go out with Shen Qiansan, but when she saw Shen Qiansan coming back alone, she couldn't help but ask a question.

Perhaps, this is what is called concern.

A mother is always worried about her son even when he is far away.

To be honest, Shen Qiansan didn't know whether Chen Shubao had left Qingwa City or not. He only sent him to the Firebird Sales Company. As for what time Chen Shubao took the bus or which bus he took, he had no idea.

However, he understood his mother-in-law's mood at the moment and didn't want her to think about it any more, so he said, "Let's go!"

Luo Rong said “oh” twice and didn’t say anything else, but it was obvious that she looked a little depressed. Although her husband and son-in-law were by her side at home, she felt lonely.

Seeing this, Shen Qiansan sighed slightly and said to comfort her: "Mom, Shubao will be back during the Chinese New Year!"

Luo Rong glanced at Shen Qiansan, forced a smile, and said, "I know, I'm fine, just go and do your thing!"

Shen Qiansan came back to draw the design of the fire table, but the drawing would not be needed until tomorrow, and it would not take him much time to draw it, so he was not in a hurry and said, "I don't have anything to do, I'll stay here and talk to you and dad."

Although he had never experienced the warmth of family in his previous life, he had read more books and met more people and things, and he knew that the most important thing in a family is companionship, especially when family members were emotionally vulnerable, they needed the companionship of their family members even more.

This kind of companionship, even if you do nothing and say nothing, just staying by your side, will make people feel at ease.

Unfortunately, many people often neglect to accompany their families because they are busy with work, or even pretend to be busy. This leads to loss of emotions in their family members, or inability to release emotions. The long-term accumulation finally waits for the moment to explode, causing unnecessary misunderstandings or even deep hurt.

Since Shen Qiansan understood this truth, he would certainly not let this happen.

Seeing him sit down, Luo Rong looked at him deeply.

It seemed that Shen Qiansan did nothing except cooking at home every day. He looked idle. Everyone probably had this feeling when they saw him, but Luo Rong knew that was not the case.

She knew he was worried.

Not to mention the several industries that he has developed with Zhao Hanyu and Wang Jianlin, even the Ideal City project that is being prepared and the hotel that is already being renovated are all matters. Could it be that Shen Qiansan is really going to turn a blind eye to them?

She didn't think so. In her opinion, Shen Qiansan was relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside. He kept everything in his heart.

She is now finding it increasingly difficult to understand Shen Qiansan.

The main thing was what kind of person Shen Qiansan was in the past. As his mother-in-law who lived not far away, she knew him very well.

Ever since that visit, he really seemed like a different person.

It's not the kind of change where a person is learning and improving, but the kind of transformation that completely changes one's character.

Shen Qiansan now looks the same, but his spirit, his speech, behavior, and his way of dealing with the world have changed so much that he doesn't look like a young man at all, but more like an old man who has experienced the vicissitudes of life. He speaks and acts with ease and is low-key and introverted.

If she wasn't so familiar with this face, she would almost think that this man was not her son-in-law at all.

After a moment of trance, Luo Rong did not ask Shen Qiansan to do something. She was a teacher and understood that some things just needed to be understood in one's heart without having to say everything out loud.

Instead, Chen Wentao asked, "Are you not going to the construction site today?"

Shen Qiansan handed over a cigarette and said, "No need to go, Wang Shi is in charge, he can do it."

Wang Shi had worked for Shen Qiansan for such a long time, and Chen Wentao had had a lot of contact with him, so he still recognized Wang Shi's abilities.

But recognition of ability does not mean complete trust. Chen Wentao said, "You are so generous. You leave the renovation of such a big restaurant to an outsider and leave him alone!"

Shen Qiansan took a puff of Huazi and exhaled the smoke. He did not directly answer his father-in-law's question. Instead, he smiled and said, "Dad, do you know why the state-owned leather shoe factory is going downhill and is about to close down?"

Chen Wentao was stunned for a moment and said, "I told you that you don't care about the renovation of the hotel, why are you talking about the shoe factory?"

Shen Qiansan said: "Just chatting casually."

"Just chatting?" Chen Wentao turned his head to look at Shen Qiansan and asked with some disbelief.

"Yeah!" Shen Qiansan nodded.

Seeing his serious expression, Chen Wentao turned around with his legs crossed and said seriously, "The shoe factory is state-owned. The main reason for its current decline is the system problem..."

He used to be the chief engineer of a state-owned leather shoe factory. Although he was only a technical background and did not participate much in the management of the leather shoe factory, and he himself was not good at management, he had nothing to do in the past two years and had thought about some problems of the leather shoe factory. Therefore, he could talk about it very well and pointed out many reasons why state-owned leather shoe factories were facing bankruptcy.

Shen Qiansan smiled and said: "Dad, if you were in charge of management at that time, you would definitely be a good hand!"

Of course, judging from what Chen Wentao said, it is still far from management and operation. At least from Shen Qiansan's point of view, what his father-in-law said was basically superficial and did not go straight to the core.

However, the father-in-law and son-in-law were just talking at home, and they were not really handing over a factory to the father-in-law to manage. There was no need for Shen Qiansan to be so serious. Instead, he was happy to flatter his father-in-law.

Chen Wentao, however, knew what he was talking about. He flicked the ash off his cigarette and rolled his eyes, saying, "How can a technician like me understand business management? You asked me to tell you, so I only said a little."

After that, he asked, "Why did you suddenly mention the shoe factory?"

Shen Qiansan smiled, "Dad, the decline of the shoe factory is due to the reasons you mentioned, and there are more profound reasons, but one of them is also very realistic."

Chen Wentao asked: "What's the reason?"

Shen Qiansan said: "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish!"

"Hmm?" Chen Wentao was startled and blurted out, "What's the reason?"

Shen Qiansan said: "The shoe factory is a state-owned enterprise. Although the management systems of state-owned enterprises are outdated, the management of employees is really strict, and they are afraid that the employees will take advantage of the public."

Chen Wentao was naturally clear about the management of state-owned enterprises. He said, "Isn't it right not to take advantage of the public?"

"It should be!" Shen Qiansan said affirmatively: "But this is against human nature. Not all people are noble. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If you can't get any benefits, who would be willing to risk their lives!"
