Rebirth: Recovering My Treasure Girl

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the door of the Education Bureau's family area.

Normally Jenny Wu would send Zhou Lin downstairs to her house, but today because Chen Yang was still in the car, in order to prevent Zhou Lin's parents from bumping into him, she only sent him to the door of the family area.

After Zhou Lin said goodbye to everyone, she got out of the car and walked quickly into the community.

It wasn't until Zhou Lin was no longer visible that Uncle Bao started the car and prepared to take Chen Yang home.

The car drove forward for a while, and Jenny Wu suddenly said: "Chen Yang, why don't you go back and eat outside with Uncle Bao and me. It will be more lively when there are more people eating together."

After Jenny Wu finished speaking, she asked Uncle Bao: “Uncle Bao, do you think so?”

Uncle Bao nodded while driving and said, "Yes, Chen Yang, come and eat with us."

Chen Yang smiled and declined: "Not today, maybe next time."

Hearing what Chen Yang said, Jenny Wu felt a little disappointed, but she didn't show it on her face.

At about half past six, Chen Yang returned home.

As soon as she entered the house, Zhao Caixia came over and asked with some gossip: "Son, you and this classmate named Wu Jenny seem to be quite close recently!"

Chen Yang smiled and asked, "Mom, what do you want to say?"

Zhao Caixia suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Son, are you two together...?"

"Stop!" Chen Yang interrupted immediately.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yang said: "Mom, can you please stop messing around? Jenny Wu and I are just classmates and friends, nothing more!"

After saying that, Chen Yang changed into his slippers and walked towards his room.

Zhao Caixia was still obsessed with gossip, so she followed her and wanted to ask something else.

Chen Yang suddenly turned around and asked, "Mom, where is my dad?"

Zhao Caixia said: "There was a call from the factory, asking him to come over for a meeting and saying that he would not be back for dinner."

"A meeting?" Chen Yang asked doubtfully: "What meeting will be held on Saturday?"

"I don't know." Zhao Caixia shook her head and said, "Anyway, your dad hurried away after answering the phone. If you ask him, he won't tell."

Chen Yang thought to himself: Could it be related to the layoff?

"Mom, dad, how are the profits of their factory recently? Are wages paid on time?" Chen Yang asked.

Zhao Caixia was slightly startled and asked: "Why do you ask this?"

Chen Yang said: "Mom, I just care. If you know, just tell me."

Zhao Caixia couldn't help frowning and hesitated before saying: "I don't know much about the profitability of your father's factory, but last month's salary was indeed not paid on time. It was paid more than half a month later than before."

When Chen Yang heard this, he immediately understood.

Because it was like this before the rebirth, my father's factory first delayed the payment of wages, and then soon announced that all employees would only receive 70% of their wages, and then my father was included in the list of the first batch of laid-off workers.

Zhao Caixia saw her son's brows slightly furrowed in thought, so she asked, "What's wrong, son?"

Chen Yang said: "Mom, I have a hunch that a group of people in dad's factory may be laid off."

"Ah?" Zhao Caixia was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then immediately shook her head and said, "Probably not. Your dad and his factory feel fine. Why are people suddenly going to be laid off?"

After saying that, Zhao Caixia said again: "Son, your dad is now the deputy section chief. He is also a small cadre after all. He still manages dozens of people under him. Even if their factory really wants to lay off a group of people, why not first It’s his turn.”

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case! Mom, we have to prepare for the worst in everything. If dad is really laid off in the future, it won't be too sudden for our family, right?"

"What's right? Why are you kid talking nonsense? Bah, bah, bah, childish words are unbridled, childish words are unbridled!" Zhao Caixia was very unhappy.

After saying that, Zhao Caixia forced Chen Yang to sigh a few more times, and then went to the kitchen to prepare the meal with a sullen face.

.....................................

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Chen Ziqiang came back.

Zhao Caixia immediately turned down the volume of the TV and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Chen Ziqiang shook his head, his mood not looking too high.

Zhao Caixia immediately said: "There are still some leftovers, how about I heat them up for you?"

"Okay." Chen Ziqiang nodded.

Zhao Caixia quickly took out the leftovers from the refrigerator and went to the kitchen to work.

The next moment, Chen Ziqiang followed him into the kitchen.

Zhao Caixia looked back at her husband and saw that he seemed to be troubled. She suddenly thought of what her son had said before.

"Husband, what did you say in the meeting?" Zhao Caixia asked tentatively.

Chen Ziqiang looked back at the closed door of Chen Yang's room, and then said: "The leader said that starting from this month, only 70% of the salary of all leading employees will be paid temporarily. When the factory's efficiency improves in the future, it will be repaid."

After hearing this, Zhao Caixia's heart suddenly "thumped": Could it be that her son was really right?

Thinking of this, Zhao Caixia suddenly became a little uneasy: "Have your leaders mentioned about being laid off?"

Chen Ziqiang hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly: "I mentioned it. If the efficiency of the factory still fails to increase, some employees will have to be laid off first."

Zhao Caixia hurriedly asked: "Then will you be laid off? You are the deputy section chief now, so it shouldn't be your turn to be laid off, right?"

Chen Ziqiang shook his head: "I don't know either, just leave it to fate."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the kitchen was a little low. Zhao Caixia wanted to say something to comfort her husband, but after thinking for a long time, she didn't know where to start.

At this moment, Chen Yang opened the door and walked out of the room.

"Dad, if you are really laid off in the future, I will arrange a job for you!" Chen Yang said loudly.

Zhao Caixia and Chen Ziqiang understood immediately. Their son had heard what they just said.

But Chen Ziqiang still denied it: "Who said I am going to be laid off? You are a child, so don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

Chen Yang said: "Dad, I know a little bit about the situation in your electrical machine factory. You always have a big-pot mentality, your management system is unreasonable, and your sales mentality can't keep up with the trend..."

"Also, the products cannot keep up with the times and cannot adapt to market demand and competition. Under such circumstances, it is strange that your factory's efficiency is good!"

Chen Ziqiang wanted to deny and refute, but Chen Yang's words were on point, and he had no way to refute.

"Dad, that's what I think. Anyway, my aunt has also been laid off. After you are laid off, our two families can jointly open a pharmacy. Then we will slowly make it bigger and stronger, even corporate or chain-like!" Chen Yang said.

When Chen Ziqiang heard his son's loud tone, he immediately laughed: "Xiao Yang, your idea is indeed good, but after all, you have to have money, right? With the situation of our family and your aunt's family, where can we get such money?"

Chen Yang said: "Dad, I have told you before that you don't have to worry about money. I just want to know now, if the money is available, would you be willing to open a pharmacy with my aunt's family?"

"Yes! As long as I have money, how could I not be willing? The pharmacy is so profitable." Chen Ziqiang agreed very readily.

Chen Yang immediately nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, it will be easier if you say this!"

After saying that, Chen Yang turned around and returned to the room, leaving only Chen Ziqiang and Zhao Caixia staring at each other blankly.
