Back to 2003

But he didn't dare to refuse, Zhao Zhuoyan was winking at him, so he could only smile as much as possible, try to chat with Zhao's father, and spend this difficult time... Fortunately, after all, we have been born in two generations, and our knowledge is broadcast, but our conversation is not. nature!

The two talked from architecture to gardens, from gardens to literature, from literature to history...

"Xiao Tang is very knowledgeable. How old are you this year?"

Father Zhao was quite surprised. The "godson" in front of him looked young, but he was knowledgeable and well-spoken. He had a sense of maturity that this young man did not have, and he actually talked with him, a university professor.

"I'm nineteen this year, just a freshman."

Tang Qinghua was shocked and quickly acted immature.

"It's rare that a 19-year-old young man has such insight. Not bad, not bad!"

Father Zhao was smiling and did not hesitate to praise.

"Uncle... godfather praised me!"

Tang Qinghua smiled proudly and then changed the subject: "It's noon, let's go out to eat. Xidu is a city of gourmet food. Since my godfather and godmother are here, I must spend a few more days to try the unique charm of Sichuan cuisine."

There's no other way, he's already a godson, so it doesn't make sense to not invite his godfather and godmother to a meal!

Then in the afternoon, I also invited a meal, and we walked around Chunxi Road together...

Mother Zhao was in a good mood. She was getting more and more pleased with Tang Qinghua. She had reached retirement age and suddenly had a godson, a handsome young man. She was inevitably happy.

Although he is not a son-in-law,

But being a godson is not bad either.

Besides,

Is he a son-in-law?

Not sure yet!

After visiting Chunxi Road, we had hotpot in the evening.

Tang Qinghua was in a good mood. He drank some wine with Zhao's father. As he drank, he became indifferent. Let's just be a godson. This cheap godfather is not bad, he is also a university professor... Come, have another drink!

……

When I woke up the next day, I touched the pillow!

Fortunately, it was at school and there was no woman next to me.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The phone rang, it was Zhao Zhuoyan again.

"It's over, it's over, something big happened!"

Zhao Zhuoyan held the phone, full of panic.

"What's going on, you won't let me go shopping with them again, will you? Miss Zhao, you've gone too far!"

Tang Qinghua shouted angrily.

"Miss Zhao, you have to call me sister now——"

Zhao Zhuoyan on the other side heard this and couldn't help but chuckle: "I'm not asking you to go shopping with me, but my dad and mom are going to live in Xidu... My mom said they wouldn't worry about me being alone in Xidu; my dad Said that the garden was too wasteful and he wanted to help us clean it up..."

"Isn't it? Then...am I going to be my godson for the rest of my life?"

Tang Qinghua was shocked and burst into tears.

Zhao Zhuoyan: "It's probably like this... Don't look at it. My dad is usually very reasonable, but once he decides to do something, even ten cows can't pull him back."

Tang Qinghua was anxious: "You persuade them and convince people with reason... Just say that if they live here, they will have no income. Just say that your salary is not much and you can't support them..."

Zhao Zhuoyan: "It's useless. They are both retired. My dad earns more than 3000 yuan a month and my mom earns more than 150 yuan a month. There is no money pressure at all and they live more handsomely than me every day. If I say I can't support myself, they I want to live in Xidu even more!"

Tang Qinghua: "..."

After a while, he figured it out!

"Forget it, just stay here! My godfather and godmother have also called... With them in Xidu, you can feel more at ease at work, so that they don't have to live too far away and worry about you, an old girl, not being able to get married!" Tang Qinghua breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tang Qinghua, are you looking for death? You are an old girl!"

Zhao Zhuoyan was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "There are so many boys chasing after me, but I don't like them!"

"No matter who doesn't like whom, she will always become an old girl!"

Tang Qinghua's mouth became venomous, unimaginable: "Don't live in the work dormitory. Go rent a good house tomorrow, and the work will reimburse you... Don't think too much, just treat them as if they come to Xidu to retire!"

"It can only be the--"

Zhao Zhuoyan felt anxious and wanted to hit him.

……

Having an extra godfather and godmother didn't affect Tang Qinghua too much.

The next day, the whole family went to choose a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms, not far from the Asuka headquarters, and the whole family quickly moved in.

Father Zhao fell in love with Shang Feiniao's garden and named it "Four Seasons Pavilion" himself. The calligraphy was elegant and graceful. After Tang Qinghua saw it, he immediately had the gate redone and engraved the name "Four Seasons Pavilion" on it. The Feiniao.com sign can only be hung next to it.

Father Zhao and Zhao Zhuoyan came to the company early every day. Tang Qinghua assigned two handymen for laying bricks to him, and promised him 20 yuan in renovation funds, and he began to renovate the entire garden.

The first step is to repair the roads and remove the weeds on the roads, then add branch paths and trails where necessary, and then transplant the flowers and trees... The garden has been growing naturally for many years, and the trees are too prosperous and the shrubs are too messy, so they all need to be repaired. Transplanting and construction.

Only then did Tang Qinghua find out that one of the courses taught by Zhao's father at the university was actually ancient Chinese architecture and garden art.

come on,

I picked up a garden expert!

worth it!

……

Asuka's current office building is the office building of a cannery.

The canteen for employees of the cannery was in the yard next door. There was only an agency canteen here, but unfortunately it was abandoned. Tang Qinghua allocated [-] yuan with a wave of his hand to build a new employee canteen on the bush next to the building.

This kind of factory construction does not need to be reported to the higher authorities, so it is very simple to do.

The two brothers who had been working on the construction site said hello, and more than 20 migrant workers came. After some inquiries, the head contractor quickly signed the contract. Since it was cash, the bricks, cement, steel bars, and wood were delivered that day. Come in.

"This is a historic site from the early Ming Dynasty. The overall shape cannot be damaged!"

At the critical moment when the construction started, Zhao's father, Zhao Lingjun, came to Tang Qinghua and firmly expressed his opposition: "I will be responsible for the appearance of the house. I will ensure that your money will not be used too much, and that the repair will be grand and practical, and will not damage the overall style of Sijixuan!"

"Okay, godfather, you have the final say... If the money is not enough, I will allocate more money!"

Tang Qinghua nodded on the spot, why is it not cultivation? Isn't it good to cultivate well?

After Zhao Lingjun got the rights, he went to the contractor on the spot and revised the design requirements. From the ground to the roof, he had his special requirements. The contractor refused at first, but Zhao Lingjun didn't know what to say, and finally he agreed.

Originally I only wanted to build four large bungalows.

The simple construction can be completed in a week.

But Zhao Lingjun stepped in and forcibly extended the construction period to 20 days. It was still the same area as four large bungalows, but he made it into a beautiful and large yard. The roof, eaves, walls, and gates were all built in an antique style, completely unlike any other. canteen.

But it happened to be a canteen, with public seats in the hall and separate leisure rooms. After the construction site was completed, Zhao Lingjun had flowers and trees transplanted from other locations to the yard. The entire decoration style was comparable to the coffee brewed by later generations. Room.

"Oh my god, is this still our cafeteria? It's so beautiful!"

"I never thought that the canteen could be transformed like this... When we have nothing to do from now on, we can take down the computers and work here."

The canteen hasn't opened yet, and everyone is already stunned.

"Dad, your masterpiece amazes me——"

After Zhao Zhuoyan saw it, he did not hesitate to admire it.

Even Tang Qinghua, a reborn person, was surprised from the bottom of his heart: The garden expert is worthy of being a garden expert. He can turn decay into magic with just a casual move... But he said it would only cost money, so why did the cost increase from 18 to [-]? Ten thousand?

"Fortunately, 18 is worth it!"

Tang Qinghua comforted himself silently.

"From now on, I have the final say on all the construction of Sijixuan——"

After being affirmed by everyone, Zhao Lingjun felt comfortable.

"Okay, no problem... From now on, the entire Sijixuan and the forty acres of garden will be planned by you!"

Tang Qinghua made the decision on the spot.He decided not to wait until the three-year rent-free period expired, but to buy the cannery site while County Magistrate Wang was in office, and do whatever he wanted with it in the future.

After the kitchen was repaired, the chef returned.

Feiniao Network paid for the four people to be sent out for training. From making steamed buns, steamed buns and noodles for breakfast, to how to cook Kung Pao chicken with boiled fish hair and blood, they learned it in detail. Tang Qinghua’s slogan is: Let the canteen’s The taste is not inferior to outside restaurants.

This makes Zhao Zhuoyan and even most of the company's senior management not understand - is it necessary to spend so much money on a staff canteen?

But having seen big companies 20 years from now, and the fact that Feiniao.com is now very profitable, Tang Qinghua wants to build the company into a good company where employees have a sense of belonging. Not only will their employees have high wages, but their food, housing, and environment will also have to be up to par. Come up.

Therefore, he specially hired Zhao Lingjun as the garden consultant of Sijixuan - a monthly salary of 5000, no need to clock in to work, and a powerful consultant who also manages four workers. From now on, all the renovation of the entire garden will be left to Zhao Lingjun, and even Chen Xiaoqing needs to cooperate. he.

Zhao Lingjun was very satisfied and began to carry out garden-style renovation of the garden. According to Tang Qinghua's requirements, in addition to the original two blue brick buildings and the canteen, an above-ground garage was reserved, and the rest of the space began to be renovated.

Three cars were delivered long ago. The Honda Accord is Zhao Zhuoyan's car, the Audi A6 is used for business receptions, and the two Jettas are used as company cars. Judging from the private companies in 2003, a unit with four company cars at the same time is also It is considered very powerful!

This made Zhong Tingting very dissatisfied, and she went to Tang Qinghua to express her dissatisfaction!

"Tang Qinghua, you have gone too far!"

Zhong Tingting was so angry that she looked like a fish with a cocked mouth: "It's all a company run by you, the boss. Feiniao's side has almost no need for business operations, but our side has been traveling abroad for a long time, so why do they have so many cars at once?" , and we don’t have a car?”

"Develop step by step!"

Tang Qinghua had a big head and said weakly.

"What are you doing step by step? You are bullying people!"

Seeing that she was too tough, Zhong Tingting started to stir up emotion and said with tears in her eyes: "I am also a general manager after all. I run around every day, either riding a scooter or taking a taxi. The taxi fare is only one or two thousand yuan a month. What do you think? Is it easy for me?"
