Chapter 404 Mother's Command

Duan Yun can naturally see Cheng Changlin's intentions, but he will definitely not follow Cheng Changlin's arrangement and return to work at the main factory.

"Why don't you eat oil and salt..." Cheng Changlin said angrily.

"Duan Yun, my dad is actually doing it for your own good." Cheng Qingyan, who had been sitting quietly next to her mother at this time, saw her father's angry face, and quickly winked at Duan Yun.

"Uncle Cheng, I appreciate your kindness, but this time is really a very important opportunity for me." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "Actually, I became the manager of the group this time for my own sake." business..."

"Didn't you just earn a little money by working as an electrical repair stall in the factory? Many people in the factory know about it." Cheng Changlin snorted, and then said: "To put it bluntly, you are not doing your job properly! If you don’t do a good job and clean up these irrelevant things, the state has issued repeated orders to crack down on speculation, so what is the future of doing business!? If you were still an apprentice in the workshop, it would be fine, but now you are a college student and a state cadre Yes! Don’t you know what kind of stuff those small business people in the factory are? They are either gangsters or laborers! Do you have any sense of shame as a state official and these people!?”

Obviously, Cheng Changlin didn't care about Duan Yun's business affairs at all.

After all, in the minds of many people in the past two years, entering a state-owned enterprise and becoming a regular worker means clinging to the iron rice bowl. As for those who do business, they are all low-income bums and jobless youths, not much better than beggars.

Cheng Changlin himself is a college student and the chief engineer of the factory. He really doesn't like those people who do business. In his mind, only working hard at the unit is a serious thing. As for the work in the factory If you don't work hard to do business, you will be heretics and not doing your job properly!
"Uncle Cheng, times have changed, and your ideas are outdated. It is now the fifth year of reform and opening up, and the country's top leaders also hope to revitalize the domestic economic development, and also encourage and support the development of the individual economy..."

"Then let me ask you, have you read the news about the eight kings of Wenzhou last year? Those profiteers are poaching the corners of socialism again! Can the country not deal with them!?" Cheng Changlin glared at Duan Yun and said, "Don't think you are a little clever Can you fool the eyes of the state organs, and still take advantage of the opportunity of being a manager in a large collective to do business? Your thinking is very dangerous in itself! No matter how bad the efficiency of the current large collective is, it is still a state-owned asset! How dare you fight The idea of ​​state-owned assets, how many heads do you have?"

"Uncle Cheng, it's not what you think, it's impossible for me to do illegal things..." Duan Yun frowned and said.

"Whether you have that thought or not, you know it in your own heart!"

"Old Cheng, Xiao Duan is a good boy, how could he do such illegal things?" Yang Xiufang said from the side.

"If he was an outsider, I wouldn't even mention it, but it's not related to our daughter..." Cheng Changlin sighed, and then said: "We are all decent people, and we just want to live a stable life, but this kid Too much trouble, I'm really afraid that something will happen to him in the future..."

"Uncle Cheng, let me tell you the truth, the reason why I came to be the manager of the big collective is that on the one hand, I really want to do something for our factory and use technology to change the current serious loss of the factory. On the other hand, I also want to use this factory to provide some convenience for my business, but I will never do anything illegal. I just want to make more money so that my family, Qingyan and uncles and aunts can live a prosperous life in the future , this is my original intention..."

"Stop it! We don't need you to subsidize our family. The wages given to our family of three by the factory are already enough, and we don't need your money!" Cheng Changlin said.

"Uncle Cheng..."

Duan Yun tried to explain a few more words, but Cheng Qingyan who was sitting across from him suddenly gave him a wink, signaling him not to say any more.

"I was young too, and I know what you young people think. You two have reached your age...but I have to consider my daughter's future happiness." Cheng Changlin paused, and then said: "Don't say I didn't give you Opportunity, I will give you two choices now. First, you will go to the general factory with me obediently, admit your mistake to factory director Qin and Yuan Xuedong, and I will say something nice to you and continue to be your deputy chief engineer! The other one is If you can really turn the big group into a profit within half a year, and show your face in front of the whole factory, I will still agree with you to get along with Xiaoyan. With your skill..."

"I choose the second one!" Duan Yun said very simply.

"You..." Cheng Changlin was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect that Duan Yun didn't talk about it when he said so much, and he was a little angry for a while.

"I want to eat." Yang Xiufang said from the side.

"Everyone has his own aspirations, so I have nothing to say. You can't do it then, don't say I didn't give you a chance." After Cheng Changlin finished speaking, he took a sip from the wine cup and stopped talking.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little dull. The four people on the table were all thinking about something, while pulling the food into their mouths, thinking about something.

Cheng Qingyan, who was sitting across from her, also had a somewhat worried expression on her face, occasionally glanced at Duan Yun, but didn't know what to say.

Duan Yun also frowned slightly, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't obey Cheng Changlin's arrangement on the matter of the large group. Even if he temporarily made the future father-in-law unhappy, Duan Yun would never return Headquarters.

But fortunately, Cheng Changlin didn't push him to a dead end. In the future, after the big collective turned losses into profits, he would still be able to associate with Cheng Qingyan in a legitimate way...

……

After the meal, Cheng Qingyan packed the dishes and chopsticks on the table to the kitchen to wash them, but Cheng Qingyan's parents did not leave.

"Old Cheng, go to the balcony to smoke a cigarette first, I have something to say to Xiao Duan." Yang Xiufang said to her husband.

"Yeah." Hearing this, Cheng Changlin picked up a cigarette, got up and left the living room.

"Xiao Duan, your Uncle Cheng's words may not be pleasant to hear just now, so don't worry about it." Yang Xiufang said to Duan Yun after seeing her husband leave.

"It's okay, he's doing it for my own good too." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"I knew you were a good boy." Yang Xiufang smiled slightly, and continued: "Actually, your Uncle Cheng and I have no objection to your relationship with Qingyan. We have discussed it before, and I feel that you are a very good boy." We are also very satisfied in terms of academic qualifications and upbringing, but there are some things I still need to clarify with you..."

"Auntie, tell me, I will listen carefully." Duan Yun said.

"...Actually, we don't care how much money you can make outside in the future. Of course it's good if you can make more money in the future, but if you can't, it doesn't matter. With your job title in the factory, your salary is not too low. We just I hope you and Qingyan will be free from illness and disaster in the future, peace and safety is the best..." Yang Xiufang pondered for a while, and then said: "Doing business is risky, we are ordinary people, if something really happens, run away There is no way to spend money on relationships. Uncle Cheng and I are just a few factory leaders we met in the factory. If something happens, we can’t help you. Besides, Uncle Cheng is not a bad-hearted person, but sometimes he has a stubborn temper. , good face, if you get on good terms with Qingyan, if something happens, he won't be easy to see in the factory..."

"Well, I understand what you mean." Duan Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will not do anything illegal, and I will not do anything that would embarrass you and Uncle Cheng."

"It's good that you understand." Yang Xiufang smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, my child, Xiaoyan, has a relatively honest personality and never plays tricks on others. This is her strength and what I worry about her the most. Old and honest people are easy to suffer... Xiao Duan looks like a clever child at first glance, when you are together in the future, you can't bully her..."

"Hehe, don't worry, auntie, I'm not that kind of person." Duan Yun raised his eyebrows and said.

"Yeah." Yang Xiufang nodded and said, "Well, I've said everything I need to say. I have no objection to the matter between you two, but your Uncle Cheng..."

"I will fulfill my promise to Uncle Cheng and make him agree to this." Duan Yun said seriously.
