Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

After a moment's thought, he said to his assistant, "These gifts are for my future father-in-law and mother-in-law. You can decide for yourself."

Hearing this, the assistant was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the things he bought this time were actually for his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. In this way, choosing gifts is more important, otherwise it will affect their impression in front of Su Chen, which will become the assistant's negligence.

The assistant agreed without hesitation and set off immediately. In a short while, he had prepared all the necessary gifts, packed them and brought them back to the factory.

When the assistant entered the factory carrying a large pile of bags, the workers who were taking a break were attracted by the scene and came closer to ask questions.

"Hey, what have you been doing? You bought so many things. Are you going to give us some benefits?"

Faced with everyone's curiosity, the assistant replied: "These are purchased for General Manager Su. Please do not take them away without permission." When the workers heard that these were bought for the factory director, they became even more interested.

"Why did the factory director buy so many things? He wasn't going to give them as gifts to others? I always thought only subordinates gave gifts to their superiors." Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

The assistant said helplessly: "These are gifts for the factory director's father-in-law and mother-in-law. Be careful not to damage them."

When the workers heard the assistant say this, their eyes lit up. "Is it the beautiful lady who often comes to see the factory manager?"

"I remember when she first came here, she was an interpreter for an important leader of Camel Country." "Only a beauty like this can be worthy of a smart and capable man like the factory director."

"It looks like it won't be long before we can have a wedding banquet."

"Forget it. How could the factory director invite us, the hard-working workers, to his wedding?" For a moment, everyone started to make fun of the situation.

The teasing was not over yet. Seeing that the workers were joining in the fun, the assistant felt a little annoyed and squeezed out of the crowd.

When several workers saw the assistant leaving, they quickly shouted, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Say a few more words. This is really a gift from the beautiful lady's parents."

Hearing this, the other workers also started to make a noise. The assistant sighed helplessly and hurried to the office building.

I really shouldn't have said that, otherwise these nosy workers wouldn't have surrounded him and asked him questions. After finally hiding in the office building, the assistant finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of this sentence, the news that Su Chen already had a girlfriend and was about to get married quickly spread in the steel mill.

He also didn't expect that a casual remark would make Su Chen's private affairs known to everyone. ...

Many female workers in the factory had a crush on Su Chen and seemed very disappointed when they heard the news.

Many female workers have also seen Yang Xue's appearance and felt that they could not compete with such a gentle and elegant beauty, so they simply gave up the idea of ​​competing.

Throughout the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, the hot topic immediately shifted to the big event that the factory director might get married.

The workers were discussing the news about Yang Xue and various speculations about when they would get married.

The assistant silently apologized for Su Chen and took great pains to move the gifts he had bought into Su Chen's office.

Although the things were not too heavy, there were quite a lot of them, making it quite difficult for him to carry them.

Some people from the security department wanted to help with the transportation, but the assistant declined. He just wanted to deliver these gifts to Su Chen's office in person.

In the office, Su Chen was handling the affairs of the factory. Recently, the business has been expanding, and the things that need to be handled are becoming more and more numerous. He is increasingly aware that he must find an assistant to help him manage it, otherwise just signing will be too much for him to handle.

However, so far, Su Chen has not found a suitable person to assist him. He has to bear it on his own for a while.

When he heard the office door open, he looked up and saw his assistant coming in breathlessly carrying a bunch of things.

Su Chen asked in surprise: "What did you buy? You took so much."

The assistant placed the gifts on the table one by one. Su Chen looked down and saw that the office was filled with all kinds of gifts. The most common ones were ginseng and Maotai.

Su Chen could tell at a glance that the two items were of excellent quality and naturally expensive, so he nodded with satisfaction. However, when he saw the drinks in the back row, he felt helpless.

He pointed at the bottles of drinks and said, "Why did you buy these as gifts? Who would bring these as gifts?" The drinks in question were Coke. In this era, Coke was still a very rare thing. It had just been imported and it took a lot of effort to buy it.

The assistant explained with some pride: "This is an imported drink that clears away heat, relieves summer heat, and replenishes vitality!" Hearing the assistant's explanation, Su Chen felt it was even more ridiculous.

In the future era he remembered, Coke was called a "junk drink" with no other advantages except for its high sugar content, but in this era, people thought it was a health drink. Su Chen still remembered people's views on Coke in his previous life. Seeing the assistant looking for praise, he realized that people's views were completely different now.

Thinking of this, Su Chen didn't say much. The assistant's good intentions and the good ginseng and Moutai he bought. Su Chen didn't criticize him any more, just waved him away and said, "Record these expenses in the account book and apply for reimbursement from the finance department."

The assistant nodded quickly and walked out. When he reached the door, he asked, "Director, do you need me to call a few people to help carry it?"

Su Chen looked at the things on the ground. Although there were not many things, it was still quite difficult to carry them. He agreed and said, "Just ask a few colleagues from the security department to help me move them to the car."

Although these weights were not a burden for Su Chen, he did not need to pretend. He could show off when he got to Yang Xue's parents' house.

Then, the assistant quickly found several strong security personnel to help.

They quickly moved the items to the back seat of Su Chen's car. Su Chen got in the car easily and asked the driver to drive home.

He planned to pick up Yang Xue and then go visit her parents together. He had made full preparations for today's meeting and specially made time for it after finishing his work at the factory.

Compared to the first meeting, this visit was obviously much calmer. Su Chen had already noticed from Yang Xue's mother's previous reaction that she had a very good impression of him. Therefore, the main goal this time was just to satisfy Yang Xue's father.

Su Chen had some experience and strategies in dealing with big shots like Yang Tianci, so he was not worried about this visit.

But when he went downstairs to pick up Yang Xue, Su Chen noticed her nervous expression, as if she was going to meet her own parents today instead of him meeting Yang Xue's family.

After picking up Yang Xue, Su Chen signaled the driver to leave the vehicle. There was no need for the driver to work overtime on this trip, so he decided to drive there himself.

Along the way, Su Chen was still thinking about the subsequent factory matters. It was not until he went downstairs that he remembered that he should ask the driver to return earlier.

He has been so busy lately that his mind has been wandering between the various factories that he neglected this detail.

After the driver got out of the car, Yang Xue sat in the passenger seat with a worried look on her face.

Su Chen asked with a smile: "Why are you so nervous when we are going to meet my parents together?"

Yang Xue glared at him: "I'm just worried about you!"

Su Chen spread his hands: "What do I have to worry about?"

Yang Xue shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that you'll perform too well and embarrass my dad. If he feels embarrassed, he won't be in a good mood."

Su Chen laughed: "Your father is not so petty. I think he will really care if you don't give the old man face."

After saying this, Yang Xue recalled how she had sabotaged her parents in public the last time she met them, and her face turned red.

"Don't be nervous, just go."

Su Chen started the car with a big laugh and took her to the new house her parents had bought in the capital.

Recently, Yang Xue's parents have been staying in the capital and have not returned to the company. Even work matters are brought here directly for processing. They are worried about their child's life, so they have been living in the city to accompany her during this period.

As we drove along, we soon arrived at a high-end residential area.

Yang Xue's family has a residence here. After Su Chen parked the car, the two walked in. The "547" area had just been built and became one of the high-end communities. The people who moved in were both wealthy and powerful, and the facilities were equipped according to foreign standards, so many people were happy to choose to settle here.

Yang Xue originally tried to help carry the gifts, but Su Chen declined; she saw him lift the packages easily. Seeing how easily Su Chen handled the weight issue, she took the initiative to lead the way.

This is her first visit to visit her family in Beijing, so it can be considered an official visit.

She had already informed her parents of today's visit in advance. As soon as the doorbell rang, Yang Xue's mother eagerly opened the door to welcome them.

Seeing her daughter Yang Xue, the mother happily hugged her and said, "My good child, check if you have lost weight."

"Mom, there's no way I can lose weight all of a sudden." Yang Xue muttered.

But her mother still thought: "You don't seem to like eating much, you must have become thinner." Yang Xue pouted and acted coquettishly to her mother like she did when she was a child.

Su Chen placed the gift he brought in the living room and greeted Yang Xue's mother: "Hello, Auntie." Yang's mother quickly glanced at the gift, then walked closer to take a closer look.

Her behavior was graceful and elegant, so Yang Xue didn't have too many complaints.

When she saw Moutai and ginseng, she didn't pay much attention to them - although these gifts were priceless, they were often given by visitors in the past, and there were still some unopened Moutai at home that no one enjoyed. Therefore, when my mother saw these, she didn't have much interest.

However, when she saw the box of Pepsi on the ground, her eyes lit up.

Yang Xue's mother came forward cheerfully and looked at the Coke in her hand: "You are so thoughtful that you even bought this drink."

The TV in the living room was playing a program. Yang Xue's mother had been watching it on the sofa while waiting for the two to arrive.
