Chapter 431 Mid-Autumn Festival
"I'll wear this suit when I discuss the project, and it goes with these shoes."

Zhou Jing bought a plane ticket back to Tangdu on the 19th. On the night of the 18th, Gu Jia packed Zhou Jing's luggage, including what clothes Zhou Jing should wear according to the occasion and the person he was meeting.

"With a personal secretary like Master, everything will be fine."

Zhou Jing looked at the things in the suitcase, turned around and put his arms around Gu Jia's waist.

"Reinstate my position after the baby is born next year."

Gu Jia also wanted to be Zhou Jing's secretary, firstly to help Zhou Jing, and secondly to have something serious to do.

"The secretary position has always been reserved for you."

Zhou Jing completely gave up the idea of ​​hiring a secretary. He stopped challenging his weaknesses and made his situation as a scumbag more difficult.

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Don't you have any suitable relatives?"

"No."

Zhou Jing shook his head. The main reason was that he didn't want to find an acquaintance to be his secretary. Some things were not private to outsiders but were secrets to acquaintances. If relatives knew about Zhou Jing's scumbag behavior and his parents heard about it, the family would be in an uproar.

"Human Resources will arrange a temporary assistant."

There is a suitable relative among Gu Jia. Her cousin wants to work in BJ. However, even though she is her cousin, Gu Jia doesn't want to give up the position to Zhou Jing as a secretary.

"I'm not used to it except for you, and I'm embarrassed to ask others."

Zhou Jing added that he was worried that Gu Jia would introduce relatives as secretaries.

"Okay." Gu Jia closed Zhou Jing's suitcase, turned around and said with a smile: "Let them do what they can do, don't do everything yourself."

"Ah."

Zhou Jing carried the suitcase to the living room, went back to the bedroom, helped Gu Jia lie down and rubbed her legs.

"Take a break. How much did this team building cost?"

Gu Jia pulled Zhou Jing to lie down. It was getting late, already past ten o'clock, and the boy had to get up early the next morning.

"Even the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits are around 100,000 yuan."

Zhou Jing put the pillow in place, lay on his side and gently rubbed Gu Jia's belly.

"I wish the boss was as conscientious as you."

Gu Jia stroked the boy's face with one hand and said.

“You can never make enough money. If you only think about making more money, you will still be exhausted even if you have money.”

Zhou Jing is more open-minded about money and will not become a slave to it.

"Yes, money and official positions are both bottomless pits. How much money is considered a lot, and how high an official position is considered a great position. Once you fall into the bottomless pit of pursuing wealth and power, life becomes meaningless."

Gu Jia admired the boy's open-mindedness at such a young age.

The next day, the 19th, was the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. Zhou Jing took a flight to Tangdu at around 8 o'clock in the morning. Zhou Jing got up at around 6 o'clock, ate something at home, and went to the airport.

Bai Xiyao had something to do at noon and couldn't leave, so she sent He Kang to drive to the airport to pick up Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing was used to being picked up by Bai’s best friend, so she felt a little uncomfortable when someone else picked her up.

He Kang sent Zhou Jing to the company, and Zhou Jing asked He Kang to go and get busy. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival and Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. was on holiday. There was no one in the company, so Zhou Jing did not go up. Bai Xiyao put the required information in Zhou Jing's car. Bai Xiyao parked Zhou Jing's Prado downstairs of the company in advance, and He Kang gave the key to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing's car in Tangdu is usually kept by Bai Xiyao. Every time Zhou Jing comes back, Bai Xiyao will wash the car in advance.

The car was washed clean inside and out and was very comfortable to sit in. Zhou Jing called Bai Xiyao to ask when she would be done.

Bai Xiyao was also preparing to go to Yulin City. She went to her sister's house in the morning, and Zhou Jing drove to pick up Bai Xiyao.

"Wait a minute, my sister and brother-in-law are also going back. I'll take your car first, and then take my sister's car when we get to Yan'an."

Bai Xiyao stopped Zhou Jing's car at the gate of the community and said.

"Tell me earlier so I can prepare some gifts."

Zhou Jing said half jokingly and half seriously that he would definitely express his gratitude to Bai Xiyao's sister's child when he met her.

"Need not."

Bai Xiyao kicked Zhou Jing.

He definitely couldn't go empty-handed. Zhou Jing looked around and saw a wedding company across the street. He went over and bought a red envelope and took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and put it in the red envelope.

"The investment funds for the amusement park should be paid from the account of Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd."

Bai Xiyao must have a hand in investing in the Yulin amusement park project.

"It doesn't matter what, it's not a profitable business anyway."

Zhou Jing said indifferently.

“Sometimes losing money is also an opportunity.”

Bai Xiyao has learned about Yulin City's investment promotion projects in the autumn. Not only are they long-term projects that will take more than ten years to pay back, but most projects, except for individual projects such as highways, have little room for profit even if they start to make a profit. The amusement park project belongs to the latter. To implement such projects, the government usually either advances the funds or lets local companies invest.

"You have the biggest vision among all the girls I've ever met."

In the car, Zhou Jing put his hand on Bai's best friend's thigh and said with a smile.

"That is."

Bai Xiyao was quite confident. She adjusted her seat back and put her pretty legs under the windshield.

Seeing Bai Xiyao's sister coming out of the community, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao got out of the car. Zhou Jing put the prepared red envelope in the arms of the child held by Bai Xiyao's sister and gently poked the child's face.

"You're welcome. Tangdou thanks Uncle Xiao Zhou."

Bai Xiyao's sister Bai Xiyan, who still has her charm, holds her son and faces Zhou Jing.

The little guy looked at the stranger in front of him with his watery eyes, his eyes full of curiosity about the world.

"So cute."

Zhou Jing shook the little guy's hand.

"Raising a child is exhausting. When is your wife's due date?"

Bai Xiyan looked at Zhou Jingdao.

"Around the tenth day of the first lunar month, I feel the hardship is felt even when I see pregnant women."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"It's not easy. Zhou Jing should have a lot of resources around him. Introduce a date to Xiyao."

Bai Xiyan glanced at Bai Xiyao and said.

"No problem, what kind do you like?"

Zhou Jing looked at Bai Xiyao and asked with a smile.

"I don't like any of them."

Bai Xiyao almost said that she liked Zhou Jing because he was like this. She would joke with him and say whatever she wanted in private, but she couldn't say anything in front of other people, especially her relatives.

Bai Xiyan looked at her sister and said earnestly, "You'll find it sooner or later, don't delay yourself."

"It's still early!"

Bai Xiyao gets a headache every time she talks about major life events with her family. Fortunately, she is only 23 years old and doesn't have to worry about this matter for the next three or four years.

While talking, Bai Xiyan observed her sister and Zhou Jing out of the corner of her eyes. Her sister started a business with the handsome and capable boy in front of her, so it was no wonder that she looked down on other boys. With a boy like this around her, Bai Xiyan would also look down on other boys. Bai Xiyan felt sorry for Bai Xiyao for missing out on such a good resource as Zhou Jing.

Bai Xiyao's brother-in-law refueled the car and came from the intersection. They chatted for a few more words and then set off. Zhou Jing drove in front of Bai Xiyao and waited for Bai Xiyao's sister and brother-in-law at the highway entrance. After getting on the highway, the two cars kept a distance.

"How is your brother-in-law's tutoring class going?"

Zhou Jing said while looking ahead.

"It's OK. He can tutor math, physics, chemistry and biology for middle and high school students. He mainly teaches classes on weekends and one-on-one tutoring during the week. He can easily make 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a month. He's just a little busy during the winter and summer vacations."

Bai Xiyao unscrewed a bottle of Lehu and handed it to Zhou Jing, saying, "It's good to have a teacher at home."

Zhou Jing somewhat missed the days when he ran a tutoring class in his previous life. Teaching became boring after a long time, but compared with running around and worrying about company affairs now, his life in his previous life was quite satisfying.

"My sister doesn't need to worry about the child's future studies."

Bai Xiyao turned on the music in the car and said.

"In the future, I will make a speaker that can be controlled by voice. I can control the volume and the song I want to listen to by voice."

Being used to smart speakers in his previous life, Zhou Jing found the current ones very inconvenient.

"Come on, let's create the technology of the future."

Bai Xiyao is very much looking forward to it. If it can really come true, it would be so wonderful, even more amazing than science fiction movies.

“Leading the intelligent era.”

There was a truck in front, so Zhou Jing changed into the fast lane and lightly stepped on the accelerator to overtake.

Zhou Jing drove for more than three hours and then Bai Xiyao took over the driving. When they arrived at the Yanshi service area, Bai Xiyao stopped the car and waited for her sister's car. Bai Xiyao got into her sister's car, and Zhou Jing went first to find the highway exit.

After getting off the highway, Zhou Jing went back to Qing County first. Since he was back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, he had to go home. The Qing County New City Project also had a three-day holiday, so Zhou Jing was not busy this time. His main thing was to discuss the Yulin Amusement Park project after the holiday.

Holidays in the small town are no different from usual days. The familiar streets and familiar scenes give people a quiet, slow-paced life. When Zhou Jing arrived in the county town, he went straight home.

"Did you have a good lunch?"

Wu Suqin was waiting for Zhou Jing to come home to have dinner together. As soon as Zhou Jing came home, Wu Suqin asked.

"I ate KFC."

Zhou Jing was pressed for time that day, so he had some fast food for lunch.

"Too busy, stay at home for two days?"

Wu Suqin said as she prepared dinner.

"We're going to Yu City on the 21st."

Zhou Jing can stay at home tomorrow. He has been on the road for a whole day today. Fortunately, there is no traffic jam on the highway.

“How’s that playground project going?”

Zhou Guozhong looked at his son and said.

"The government's investment promotion is not very profitable. Knowing that I want to invest, the deputy mayor wants to make a decision as soon as possible."

Zhou Jing said truthfully.

“Will you lose money if you invest without oil and water?”

Wu Suqin poured Zhou Jing a glass of Orange Juice and said.

"We have to invest even if we lose money. We can't just take money in and not spend money when dealing with the government."

Zhou Guozhong sat down and spoke.

"That's true."

Wu Suqin thought about it carefully and realized that this was the truth. Just thinking about getting benefits without doing anything for the local people would not last long.

"It's just that the profit is not big, so I definitely can't make up for it. It's just a matter of time before I get my money back."

Zhou Jing picked up the Orange with Fruit and drank it in one gulp and said.

After dinner, Zhou Jing couldn't help but go to Kaiyuan Internet Cafe to play some games, but there were no empty computers in his own Internet cafe. He couldn't even access the Internet anytime in his own Internet cafe. Zhou Jing smiled helplessly. He couldn't snatch the computers from customers because customers were his bread and butter.

After watching TV in the Internet cafe for a while, Zhou Jing strolled home, took a shower, and watched TV with his parents.

"The opening of two new Internet cafes in the county has had an impact on business. There are obviously fewer people coming to Kaiyuan Internet Cafe to surf the Internet during the overnight hours."

Wu Suqin stood up and made a cup of black tea for her son and said.

"It's okay if it has an impact. I'll just keep using it for another year or two and then sell it off when it gets old."

Zhou Jing doesn't care about the Internet cafe business. The Internet cafe business in the county only makes a profit of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands a month, which is dispensable to Zhou Jing.

Wu Suqin thought so too. After her grandson was born, she had no time to care about the Internet cafe.

Zhou Jing looked at his father and asked, "Dad, are you going to BJ on National Day too?"

"Go for a walk."

Zhou Guozhong had never been to the capital in his entire life.

"Are you going by train or plane?"

Zhou Jing picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Go to Suixian and take the train."

Wu Suqin picked up the remote control, changed the channel and said.

Zhou Jing did not persuade his parents to take a plane. It is more convenient to take a train from Qing County to BJ. You can take a train from the county seat to Sui County, and then transfer to a direct train to BJ in Sui County. If you take a plane, you have to take a train to Tangdu first, which is more troublesome than taking a train from Sui County to BJ.

"Are you going to your grandfather's house tomorrow?"

Zhou Guozhong looked at his son and said.

"Let's go and have a look. Are you going with my mom?"

Zhou Jing felt more bored staying in the county town, so he went to the countryside to experience the different scenery.

Wu Suqin said, "Let's go to your grandfather's house tomorrow and come back tomorrow afternoon. The day after tomorrow you go to Yu City, and your father and I will go to your grandmother's house. Will Jing stay in a hotel or your house when he goes to Yu City?"

"live in hotel."

"."

The next day, Zhou Jing went to his grandfather's house with his parents in the morning. His grandmother prepared to make dumplings early in the morning. After returning home, his parents helped to make dumplings, while Zhou Jing picked red dates from the date tree in the yard to eat.

The vegetable garden in the yard has withered a lot, and cabbage is planted in the place where zucchini and eggplant were originally planted.

The chickens in the chicken coop have grown a lot and should be able to lay eggs next spring. Zhou Jing took a few photos with his mobile phone and prepared to send them to Gu Jia, but his phone had no signal.

"The village secretary said there are two low-income security quotas and asked who our family should give them to. Will it have any impact on Jing if we take them?"

The old lady said as she was making dumplings.

"We are still short of that little money, so we just say no."

Wu Suqin refused very straightforwardly. It was not worth it for that little benefit, and it would be more troublesome if the news got out.

"Let those people in charge of the village do some real work!"

Zhou Jing was speechless. He was afraid that the village secretary’s head was filled with shit.

Zhou Jing is not only the richest man in the village, but I dare not say he is the richest man in Qing County. However, he will definitely become the richest man in a short time. The village secretary even gave him a low-income security quota in order to curry favor with him. He does not take the richest man in the village seriously.

The old man said: "The minimum living allowance and subsidies in the village are basically given to those with better conditions. They are not used for any real work. In the future, don't pay more for the opera performances in the first month of the lunar year. I'm afraid the extra money will go into someone's pocket."

Zhou Jing knew this without having to think, so the village paid 500 yuan for each opera performance during the first month of last year and this year, and did not compete with those who paid 1,000 or 2,000 yuan.

As Zhou Jing's company grew, more and more people from the countryside wanted to join the company. One or two people was fine, but Zhou Jing would be annoyed if there were too many people. Too many fellow villagers in the company would only make things complicated and disrupt the normal order of the company, so Zhou Jing asked the old man not to agree in a hurry and to contact him when there was work, as the new city project in the county did not need anyone for the time being.

After lunch, Zhou Jing went to his ancestral grave to burn paper. In the past two years, Zhou Jing's career has been going smoothly. His mother said that smoke was coming out of the ancestral grave, so he would go back to the countryside to visit the grave during the holidays.

Zhou Jing didn't want to go but he didn't go perfunctorily. He tried not to contradict his mother if he could. Only those who are not parents know how difficult it is. Zhou Jing is about to become a father and can understand the endless worries of being a parent.

While walking on the mountain road, Zhou Jing called Gu Jia when his cell phone got a signal, and then called Yang Wenwen with another cell phone.

The countryside enters the harvest season in late September. The golden ears of grain and the plump grains of various beans in the fields indicate that it is a good year for the harvest.

After staying in the countryside for a day, Zhou Jing's family returned to the county town after dinner. On the morning of September 21st, his parents went to his grandmother's house, and Zhou Jing went to Yulin City. Yang Wenwen brought the little girl to wait outside the community in advance.
