Chapter 86 Returning to the company
The matter of Gao Cheng caused a sensation in the school, and no one thought that Cheng Jia, who was always smiling, would break other people's heads.

Cheng Jia told Gao Cheng that he must be an outstanding child - just like his father, who was admitted to a key university from a poor village.

Gao Cheng studied very seriously, and his grades soared.

Cheng Jia often went to Chengling to watch the progress of the project.Every time she went to Gao Zhan's tomb, she sat there for a long time.

She kept talking: things about Gao Cheng, things about Gao Miao...then there was silence.

Cheng Jia misses Gao Zhan very much, she feels like a rootless duckweed, without belonging.

On this day, she was still sitting in front of Gao Zhan's tomb, looking at the grass in the distance and smelling the fragrance of grass.

"Gao Zhan, you said that you will not leave, you will always be with us, so why can't I feel you? Where have you been to protect us?

This place is so comfortable, do you forget to go home?After a while, the yurt will be repaired, and I will bring my children to live here, and we will accompany you! "

Cheng Jia looked at the nearby construction site, lost in thought:
Does Gao Zhan feel noisy?He probably wouldn't, he's been working hard all his life, wherever it's hard and lively, he can go there!All his fortunes are earned by himself, he is not a person who is content with ease...

Cheng Jia realized that she hadn't been to the company for a long time, and Gao Zhan asked her to guard the company and hand it over to Gao Cheng in the future.

She repeatedly thought about Gao Zhan's entrustment to her.

What happened to Gao Cheng at school recently made her understand: she must face everything bravely, and cannot continue to be depressed and escape.

Cheng Jia stood up and looked at Gao Zhan's tomb with a cold heart: there is no Gao Zhan in this world anymore, and no one stood in front of her and planned for her and the children wholeheartedly.She wants to cheer up, she wants to protect the child - his and Gao Zhan's child - Gao Zhan's bloodline!
The next day, Cheng Jia went to work in the company. She went directly to Gao Zhan's office and carefully watered the flowers and plants.

After Gao Zhan passed away, his lawyer found Cheng Jia: Gao Zhan transferred the company to Cheng Jia, and all the assets were also transferred to her, and the documents she signed were about these.

Cheng Jia asked the accountant to give her the reports for the past few months, and asked the distribution company to summarize the operations of the past few months to her...

Cheng Jia has been looking at the report all day: because all the procedures of the distribution system are fixed, the overall operation is fairly stable, but the maintenance cost is ridiculously high.At the same time, she found that although everything in the coal mine was normal, all the approvers were Li Ye.

Cheng Jia called Xiao Li, and learned that the driver of the assembly station used the equipment very roughly. In order to ensure stable operation, the Engineering Technology Department would replace it if it broke, and the manufacturer was happy to see the result.

After the equipment was brought back, it was repaired very slowly, and gradually it was backlogged in the warehouse.

Cheng Jia went to the administrative office to adjust the equipment contract, but as soon as she entered, everyone inside was surprised.Instead of sitting in their seats, they stood in the office.Cheng Jia looked around: there were women's hair and dust in the corner, and the trash can was full of waste paper and food packaging bags...

"Show me the equipment contract for the loading station!"

she said to the clerk.

The clerk frantically searched around.

"Not filed?" she asked.

"It's back, I took it out a few days ago and copied it, but I haven't had time to put it back!"

Cheng Jia looked stern and did not speak.

The clerk finally found it and handed it to her.

The director of the office said to Cheng Jia: "Mr. Cheng, next time you call, I will send it to you!"

Cheng Jia turned her head with a livid face, just about to get angry.

Then I thought about it: what would Gao Zhan do?He doesn't get angry easily!

Cheng Jia turned and left without saying a word.

The director of the office saw that Cheng Jia had left, and said to the clerk, "Hurry up and clean it up, it's been procrastinating for a while."

He recalled Cheng Jia's gaze, and then said: "Hurry up and clean up!"

Then, the phone in the personnel department next door rang.

"Hey, ah! Mr. Cheng, I see! I'll bring you the attendance sheet right away!"

……

Cheng Jia looked at the mess of reports and statements, helpless.She curled up on Gao Zhan's former office chair, and said silently in her heart:

"Gao Zhan, what would you do if it were you?"

Cheng Jia closed her eyes.

It took a long time before she opened her eyes, picked up the phone and called the HR manager.

"Manager Wang, find a mature local mine manager as soon as possible, no matter what method you use!"

Then pick up the contract and communicate with the leader of the equipment manufacturer on the phone about equipment maintenance and replacement.

Cheng Jia then retrieved the personnel files of the engineering department and re-drawn the recruitment plan.

For several days, Cheng Jia stayed in the office.

She heard from people in the office that Li Ye's son had come to EEDS, and Li Ye asked the people in the office to give him tickets for tourist attractions.

She thought for a long time, hesitated for a long time, and finally called Li Ye.

Li Ye was pleasantly surprised to see Cheng Jia calling.

"Cheng Jia, are you looking for me?"

"I heard from them that your son is here, and they want to let him go to my house for a meal. When is it convenient for you?"

Li Ye was very happy after hearing this. He took his son to eat outside every day, which was very inconvenient. His son was not used to the food here.

He said: "We can do it anytime!"

Then I felt something was wrong, and continued:
"This kid is not used to eating outside."

"Then what does he like to eat? I'll let the kitchen prepare it, so you can come over tonight!"

“Nanjing cuisine is fine!”

"Okay, see you tonight then!"

Cheng Jia hung up the phone, the smile on his face disappeared.

She looked at Gao Zhan's water glass on the table, and was silent for a long time.

——Gao Zhan, the era of innocence is over!

Cheng Jia picked up the water cup, followed Gao Zhan's way of drinking tea, and kissed the rim of the cup with infinite nostalgia...

In the evening, Li Ye brought his son to Cheng Jia's house.

Cheng Jia took their two children and their parents to receive them warmly.

After Li Ye introduced them to his son, Cheng Jia bent down and asked:

"Hello, handsome boy! What's your name?"

The little boy replied loudly: "Auntie, hello! My name is Li Sicheng."

Cheng Jia was taken aback for a moment—"Sicheng, Sicheng..."

She was a little embarrassed, and Li Ye was also a little uncomfortable.

Gao Miao poked her head out: "Little brother, why don't you come in? Our family has made a lot of delicious food, why don't you come in and eat together?"

Li Sicheng looked at Gao Miao, she was combing Nezha's hair, her two big eyes were like big black grapes, her pink lips were pouting, and there were watermelon residue and a watermelon seed beside her mouth, which was very cute.

He thought to himself: What a beautiful little girl!

Gao Miao saw that he was not moving, so she came over and pulled him: "Let's go! I'm hungry!"

Li Ye looked at Gao Miao's dirty little mouth, and couldn't help bending down to wipe it clean for her.

Gao Miao smiled innocently.

"Thank you Uncle Li!"

Cheng Jia's mother hurriedly said, "Come into the house quickly! Don't stand there!"

Everyone came to the restaurant and sat down.

Cheng Jia said softly to Gao Miao: "You can't call everyone brother, Sicheng is younger than you!"

Gao Miao opened her mouth in surprise and stared wide-eyed: "Ah? You are younger than me, so I will call you little brother!"

Li Sicheng blushed all of a sudden: "No! I don't want to be your brother! I'll just be your brother!"

The crowd laughed.

Gao Miao said: "I have an older brother! You can't be my older brother!"

"Then you call me little brother! Anyway, I won't be your brother!" Li Sicheng's eyes were firm.

Gao Miao shook her head: "I really can't do anything about you kids!"

Li Ye looked at Gao Miao shaking his head, and smiled from ear to ear.

Gao Cheng looked at Li Sicheng, at Gao Miao, and at Li Ye, without making a sound, he was eating quietly.

Seeing that Gao Cheng hadn't spoken, Li Ye said to him:
"Cheng Cheng, how are you studying recently?"

Gao Cheng raised his eyes: "My name is Gao Cheng, Uncle Li, I've been studying well recently!"

When Cheng Jia heard Gao Cheng's words, she smiled and said nothing.

Li Ye smiled and continued to ask: "Then Gao Cheng, what kind of games do you like?"

"I don't like games. I like reading. My mother told me that I will be an outstanding person like my father in the future."

He put down his chopsticks and said loudly:

"I'm done eating, grandma, grandpa, and Uncle Li, eat slowly! I'm going to do my homework first!"

After speaking, he glanced sideways at his sister who was laughing with Li Sicheng, and ran upstairs quickly.

Cheng Jia smiled: "Li Ye, don't worry about him, he's fine! Try this bamboo shoot, it was just airlifted, what do you think?"

Li Ye nodded and smiled.

Cheng Jia asked again: "Did you buy a house again when you came to EEDS?"

Li Ye replied: "No! I usually live in the coal mine office. Now that Sicheng is here, I live in the hotel!"

Cheng Jia rolled his eyes, "When we bought this villa, we bought a detached house, but the area is too large, and our family is small, and one-third of the people next to us don't live there. The door, the back door through that part, but parking is also very convenient, if you don't mind, you can live there first!"

Li Ye's eyes lit up: "We won't dislike you, we're just afraid of disturbing you!"

Cheng Jia said with a smile: "Although it is a house, it was separated during the renovation. I plan to do something else, and there is nothing to disturb. Then it is settled. I will let the housekeeper clean it up for you!"

Li Ye nodded with a smile, "That's great, Grandma Sicheng is coming after the art exhibition, and I'm still worried about how to arrange it! This way I don't have to prepare any more!"

After the meal, everyone began to eat fruit.Cheng Jia's parents and children are playing in the yard.Li Ye and Cheng Jia were sitting at the dining table, and Cheng Jia brought him a tissue.

"Li Ye, I want to discuss something with you!"

Li Ye took the tissue: "Say it, Cheng Jia."

"I went to work in the company these days, and I don't want to beat around the bush with you. The situation is a bit chaotic! The amount of shipping and sales is not right, the loss is too high, and the cost of maintenance has increased a lot. I... ..."

Cheng Jia looked distressed, and continued: "It's hard for me to deal with the people at the assembly station, and it's hard for me to manage those drivers. I can't even beat a dog!"

She laughed at herself and looked at Li Ye.

Li Ye instantly thought of Cheng Jia being bitten by a dog, and thought of her frightened appearance at that time, he couldn't bear it.He said, "What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to help me manage the company. In addition to my normal annual salary, I also get an extra 5% dividend. I know you don't like these. You can raise the conditions!"

"No problem! Cheng Jia, it's okay if you don't pay me any dividends!"

Li Ye's eyes are very sincere.

Cheng Jia was not surprised, she continued, "I'm sorry for troubling you all this time!"

"What are you talking about? We are not outsiders!"

Cheng Jia smiled, "Then it's settled! I will write a paper tomorrow to hire you as the general manager of the group."

Li Ye nodded.

After they finished eating the fruit, they walked into the yard. Li Ye became interested when he saw the gym.

"You can still exercise here? I haven't exercised yet in EEDS!"

As he spoke, he walked inside.

Cheng Jia hurriedly shouted: "Li Ye!"

Li Ye turned around in surprise.

"Exercising right after eating is bad for your gut!"

Li Ye was very happy to hear that Cheng Jia was caring about him.He walked back with a smile:

"You're right, Cheng Jia!"

The bicycle bell sounded from the yard, and Cheng Jia's face turned pale. She walked out quickly and saw Li Sicheng ringing the bicycle bell non-stop.

She shouted tremblingly, "Sister Liu!"

Sister Liu ran out from the kitchen.

Cheng Jia said: "Don't put the bicycles here, push them back to the gym! They are broken and still placed in the yard. What if the children fall down while riding them?"

Sister Liu looked at Li Sicheng who was pressing the bicycle non-stop, and ran over quickly: "Baby, this car is broken, and Auntie took it to be repaired. Look, there is an earthworm in the flower bed over there, bathing in the puddle!"

Li Sicheng heard the earthworm and immediately passed by.

Sister Liu looked at Cheng Jia: Although she was smiling, her smile was obviously stiff and trembling...

It was Gao Zhan's bicycle. He used to ride it to accompany Cheng Jia to run every day. It was originally in the garage, but it was pushed out after the yard was renovated.

Cheng Jia looked at Sister Liu—with sadness in her eyes, which turned into a smile in an instant.

"Li Ye, how about I show you your house?"

"Okay!"
