Chapter 536 Should I have a second child? [Request full order]

Compared to their table, they were eating skewers, drinking wine and making loud noises.

The table next door seemed much quieter.

Unlike men who like to have midnight snacks, women generally eat very little at night after dinner time.

Because it will easily make you fat.

Even if I have no choice but to eat something when I am greedy, I will choose to just taste it a little.

The more beautiful a woman is, the more this is true. Often the consequence of indulgence is that her figure will get out of shape and her beauty will soon be gone. This is also the reason why many women are very beautiful when they are young, but after getting married and having children, within a few years they quickly become aunties in the eyes of others. This is the consequence of not managing their figure.

But it was obvious that the women at the table tonight were not included in the list. Not to mention Xu Shiqi and Qian Youyou, both of them were still unmarried. As for the married Yin Mingyue and Xiaoxiao, one of them had given birth to Lu Yang’s children, and the other was already pregnant, but they still paid great attention to body management. The barbecues on the table, which were so oily and spicy that they almost included elements from the periodic table, looked very tempting and fragrant, but basically they only had a taste.

Then no one moved their chopsticks.

They chatted about sisterly matters, and then spent the rest of the time silently watching Lu Yang and the others at the next table bragging.

such as.

Sometimes when I come across something funny, I would cover my mouth and laugh secretly.

Xu Siqi and Qian Youyou are both unmarried, and they may not have been familiar with each other originally. However, since the Qian family started cooperating with Lu Yang in commercial real estate last year, as the secretary of Lu Yang, the chairman, and Qian Youyou, the eldest princess of the Qian family and the person in charge of commercial real estate, they have started to have more contact.

They are all about the same age.

They are both top beauties in the eyes of men, and they just graduated from college a few years ago. They have a lot in common, and over time, they have become good friends.

However, when they are together, they talk more about business matters.

It is rare for women to talk about how to dress, how to dress themselves, or go shopping together.

Yin Mingyue and Xiaoxiao are at the other extreme.

Needless to say, Yin Mingyue, the chairman’s wife, has given birth to children for Lu Yang and has devoted herself wholeheartedly to the family. Her daily life revolves around taking good care of her daughter and taking good care of her husband Lu Yang, and there is almost nothing else.

She is rather stupid and doesn’t care much about Lu Yang’s company. She is only focused on running her own small family.

Where is Xiaoxiao?
At first, the person she envied was Wei Shu. She envied this good friend for being able to balance family and career. While having a happy family, she was able to marry her childhood sweetheart and also be so successful in her career.

She also wants to emulate Sister Wei Shu. Not to mention achieving a prominent position like president, at least she wants to be the financial director or general manager of a branch company, right?
But after trying it, she found it too difficult.

Not only is Sister Wei Shu’s husband the boss’s right-hand man, her own husband is also a good friend of the boss who grew up with him wearing open-crotch pants.

But so what?
If you don’t have the ability, no matter how many opportunities you get to train, you still won’t be able to do well.

Wei Shuneng started out as a tailor consultant in Luyang Garment Factory, and later helped set up the garment factory’s foreign trade office in Yangcheng. She then went on to acquire Fuli Cotton Textile Factory in Baoqing City, and was responsible for expanding the new Meisite Garment Factory’s second factory in the city on the scale of the old factory. Later, she was assigned to Shanghai to take charge of the area, and quietly raised funds for Vacuum Electronics shares for Lu Yang. She stayed there for two years, and then finally became famous, helping Lu Yang cash out 500 million yuan, until she was appointed as the female president of the newly established group company.

Lu Yang was behind every step of the way, fueling and guiding the process, but this was also inseparable from his personal ability. If someone else were to do the same, Lu Yang dared to say that they might not be able to do it as well.

People like Lu Yang are most afraid of those who are smart as heck. These smart as heck people usually misinterpret the boss’s instructions or add their own interpretations instead of executing them directly.

There is one good thing about Sister Wei Shu. She never asks too many questions and never meddles in other people’s affairs. Even if Lu Yang sometimes behaves in a magical way or even gives some inexplicable orders, she will always carry them out resolutely.

And I will never ask any more questions afterwards and will never publicize it to anyone.

Many professional managers cannot do these things. These professional managers will often ask you, the boss, to explain to them clearly the purpose of your doing this.

And even if you may patiently explain it to him, he may not necessarily listen to you. He may even have to explain it again from his standpoint and use his wisdom. He will only listen if he thinks it is right. If he thinks it is wrong, he will even argue with you.

So what are you going to do?
There’s no way to fix it.

Professional managers like this often have high education, high IQ, and their own understanding of business logic. If they happen to meet those who are also highly educated and intelligent, they may be able to create some sparks, and even some people may be convinced.

But if it comes to entrepreneurs of this generation like Lu Yang.

The cultural level was not high to begin with.

Many people can succeed simply because they are standing on the cusp of the trend and a variety of coincidences lead to the creation of a business empire.

When these entrepreneurs reach a certain age, if they choose to use these professional managers to manage their companies, they will either directly delegate power and allow these professional managers to carry out drastic reforms in the company, or they will definitely make the company worse and worse, and there will be many internal conflicts in the company, because these old entrepreneurs and these professional managers simply cannot get along.

Why did Lu Yang agree to let Sister Wei Shu work from home and exercise the power of the company’s president at home after she became pregnant, instead of being willing to find a manager like this to replace Sister Wei Shu and manage the company for him?

Here is the explanation.

Xiaoxiao originally had such an opportunity to become a strong woman who could stand on her own in Lu Yang’s company like Wei Shu.

She has the same innate conditions as Wei Shu, and both of them graduated from Yangcheng University.

And they both married Lu Yang’s right-hand men. From this point of view, their starting points are almost the same. Perhaps Wei Shu’s starting point was higher at the beginning, because she had helped Lu Yang in the early days of his entrepreneurship, while Xiao Xiao came later and missed the stage when Lu Yang was extremely short of talent in the early days of his entrepreneurship.

But Lu Yang also gave her a chance.

During the period of acquiring the Fuli Cotton Textile Factory, after Lu Yang finished the initial stage and laid the foundation, he handed over the follow-up work to Sister Wei Shu, and then asked Xiaoxiao, her classmate, to assist her.

During that period, Wei Shu and Gong Ping’an, the childhood sweethearts, stayed in the city. They not only managed the newly acquired Fuli Cotton Textile Factory in an orderly manner so that Lu Yang had no worries, but also cooperated very well with Lao Geng, the former director of Fuli Cotton Textile Factory, who was favored by Lu Yang, in the subsequent factory expansion, recruitment of new workers, and construction of garment workshops.

Even someone like Gong Ping’an, with his expressionless face, had contributed in the beginning and helped to intimidate those workers who had experience of causing trouble during the factory restructuring.

And what about Xiaoxiao and Dajun?

At that time, I was busy meeting the parents of both sides and busy with the emotional tug-of-war. As a result, I missed another crucial period after Luyang’s initial development, when his business expanded from the county to the city.

When Lu Yang decided to send someone to help him go to Shencheng and quietly acquire Vacuum Electronics’ stocks, he naturally chose Sister Wei Shu as his capable assistant.

Fortunately, during this period, Lu Yang’s career had new developments, and he also opened two companies in Pengcheng.

A securities company that trades in stocks. This company already has a person in charge, and Lu Yang has taken a fancy to one of their senior brothers.

The other family, which is now the little prodigy, bought the land at the beginning, and the factory was still under construction, so Lu Yang had already sent Xiaoxiao and Dajun, a couple, over here.

Let Xiaoxiao work as a cashier in the factory, recruit some people, and set up the factory’s financial department.

Then let Da Jun recruit some people to take over the work of the factory’s security department.

It is also nurturing them.

The Xiao Shentong factory now has more than 1000 workshop workers and is still expanding. Its product, Xiao Shentong learning machine, sold 25 units in the first month of the first quarter. The second quarter was even better, with 78 units sold in three months. Now is the third quarter, which includes the summer vacation. Sales are increasing at a visible rate. Although the data is not available yet, it is estimated that it may exceed the total of the first and second quarters.

In such a large company with an annual turnover of hundreds of millions and even a net profit of over 100 million, serving as the financial director and the security director should not be considered an insult to the couple, right?

The army was fine, they were having fun, he was simple-minded, had food and drink, could brag, and had a team of people under his control, and they did morning exercises like they did in the army, blowing whistles and shouting slogans…

What a wonderful day!
Even if I give him a boss and he won’t change, do you believe it?

But Xiaoxiao can’t do that. She feels this job is too tiring.

First of all, she is not a graduate of accounting.

The second time, she was not as studious as Du Manni. Du Manni had not even attended university, but she was able to make up her mind to immerse herself in accounting books and taught herself accounting management. Only in this way did she break out of the accounting field and was entrusted with important tasks by Lu Yang. She was transferred to do marketing promotion, where she worked hard and eventually became a capable talent under Lu Yang.

Suppose Du Manni is not studious, does not work hard, and does not produce results that Lu Yang can see, will Lu Yang make an exception and promote her?

That’s impossible. At most, I can just keep it as a canary.

Xiaoxiao does not have the sense of crisis that Du Manni has, nor is she as strong-willed as Du Manni. Perhaps from the very beginning, she really envied her best friend and wanted to emulate her and build her own career.

But since she came to this city, she has been asked to be independent and responsible for the finances of such a large company. The pressure she has been under, as well as being forced to learn the accounting expertise that she resisted, have made her increasingly exhausted both physically and mentally.

She began to think slowly: Am I really that material? I didn’t study hard in college, and now that I’ve graduated, I still have to learn these things that make me dizzy and sleepy. Isn’t this funny?

Yes, the man I married is obviously not bad, he can lie down easily!

Forget it, forget it, let’s just let my bestie be beautiful on her own!
Ever since she realized that she was not cut out for it, she started to give in. Gradually, the financial work in the factory became more and more demanding, and she voluntarily asked to step down from the position of financial director. Now she devotes herself to taking care of the housework and the old man, Lu Yang’s second grandfather, who was brought to Pengcheng to live with them. The rest of the time, she is busy trying to have a baby. She goes to the hospital for checkups every now and then and tries all kinds of folk remedies. Now, her hard work has paid off and she is pregnant.

So you look at the table, Xiaoxiao and Qian Youyou are old classmates, but they don’t seem to have any common topics now. Instead, Xu Siqi is talking to Qian Youyou, and the two of them are having a very pleasant conversation about work.

Where is Xiaoxiao?
She is now flattering the boss lady and having a very pleasant chat with Yin Mingyue.

But the two of them didn’t talk about housework, shopping for clothes, or their respective men. Instead, they were talking about women giving birth.

Xiaoxiao touched her belly and said, “Oh, I really envy Sister Wei Shu for giving birth to a son as her first child. And you see, her family doesn’t discriminate between boys and girls. They didn’t even do a B-ultrasound before. I heard that Sister Wei Shu even prepared two sets of clothes for the baby, one for a boy and one for a girl. She prepared a lot of clothes. Unlike my family, they have to have a boy before they can be happy. I’m so angry.”

Yin Mingyue whispered to comfort her, “Old people are a little feudal, but we young people have to understand. Second Grandpa has suffered a lot. I heard from Brother Lu Yang that Second Grandpa had many military exploits in the past, but because of his bad temper, he had some conflicts with his comrades, so he returned home in anger. Now Second Grandpa is old, and he wants to see Brother Dajun give him a great-grandson before he dies. Alas——”

Xiaoxiao quickly stuck out her tongue and said, “Okay, okay, I’m not angry. It’s just a son, what’s there to be afraid of? I wasn’t afraid before even though I couldn’t get pregnant. Now that I can get pregnant with this first child, what’s there to be afraid of? At most, I can just have a few more children. One of them will definitely be a boy, sister Mingyue, don’t you agree?”

Yin Mingyue nodded silently and said, “Yes.”

Xiaoxiao suddenly stared at her belly and said, “By the way, Sister Mingyue, how about you?”

“what?”

“You and the boss, when are you going to have a second child? It’s been a long time since you gave birth to Xinxin, you’re not going to just give up like this, are you? No, the boss has a big family and a big business, sister, you have to listen to me…”
