Chapter 66: Befriending Father Shen
Now that the company is basically on the right track, Yang Hai can actually relax a lot. Each company and each department is managed by a professional person in charge. They have rich experience in business management and are more professional and experienced in managing businesses than Yang Hai, the boss of the company.
Therefore, except for important matters that require him as the boss to step in, it doesn’t really matter whether he is in the company or not under normal circumstances.
As long as he occasionally takes some time to go to the company office to review some important documents that require his signature, there is nothing else that needs to bother him.
Compared with Yang Hai's leisurely life, Shen Ruobing seems to be much busier than Yang Hai, because Shen Ruobing manages the company himself instead of hiring a professional manager to manage the company on his behalf. Being busy is the normal state of affairs.
Yang Hai also thought about managing the company himself, but he knew his own limitations, so he chose to leave professional matters to professionals.
He only needs to control the company, formulate the company's development direction, and command the heads of various departments of the company. Some major matters and important documents require his signature and confirmation before they can be implemented.
As for the specific execution and management, Yang Hai chose to let go as much as possible, allowing the persons in charge below to display their talents and giving them the conditions and opportunities to fully demonstrate themselves.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. Under normal circumstances at Huasheng Investment, there would be no need to work overtime. However, now is an abnormal time, so there are still many departments that need to work overtime. Among them, the Securities Investment Department has people working 24 hours a day.
Because the opening and closing times of the domestic stock market are different from those of the U.S. stock market, mainly due to the time zone difference. When it is night in the United States, it is daytime in China, and when it is night in China, it is daytime in the United States.
In addition, there are international crude oil futures trading and international gold futures trading, which are all conducted around the clock, with trading hours up to 22 to 23 hours a day, so there are people working in the Securities Investment Department 24 hours a day.
The investment department of Huasheng Investment Company is now in a period of rapid development and has a large number of financing application projects. All departments of the company's investment department are busy doing background checks, conducting asset investigations, liability investigations, risk control audits, etc. on companies applying for financing, in order to minimize investment risks.
Therefore, the staff in the investment department are also very busy and often need to work overtime.
However, everyone worked very hard because with more overtime and more work, the performance would naturally be better. At the end of the month, they would be able to get more performance rewards, bonuses and commissions.
Employees of Huasheng Investment all know that their company is extremely strong and that the company provides employees with very high benefits and salaries. As long as they work hard, they don’t have to worry about being treated unfairly by the company or that the bonus will be too little at the end of the month.
So no one complains about working overtime.
The headquarters of Shen's Group has also officially moved to the Shen's Group Building office building. When Yang Hai walked out of the office and was about to leave the company, he ran into his father-in-law, Mr. Shen, who walked into the company.
"Dad! Why are you here? If you have anything, just give me a call and I'll come up to find you." Yang Haiying walked up and said with a smile.
"It's okay! It's good for me to come down and walk around. Are you ready to go out?" Father Shen said with a smile.
"Isn't it time to get off work? I'm just about to get off work!" Yang Hai said with a smile.
"You're off work! That's perfect! Let's find a place to eat together and have a few drinks." Father Shen suggested cheerfully.
"Okay, Dad, if you want to drink, I'll definitely accompany you!" Yang Hai nodded and said.
"But you have to support me when I'm drunk. I'm worried that your daughter won't let me into the house."
"How dare she! Isn't it normal for a man to drink a little?" Father Shen immediately said as if he was trying to defend the injustice.
"It's common for men to get drunk occasionally when they're out doing business or entertaining clients."
"Thinking back to the past! When the Shen Group was first established, I was begging for favors everywhere, using connections, and using backdoors. I acted like a grandson in front of others every day, and I often got drunk. Your mother-in-law would only feel sorry for me every time, and she would never blame me, let alone forbid me to enter the house."
The father-in-law and the son-in-law walked and talked, and soon they found a Northeastern roasted lamb leg restaurant near the company, sat down, ordered a roasted lamb leg, a few cold dishes, and a dozen cold beers.
Yang Hai didn't expect that his father-in-law would choose such an inconspicuous barbecue restaurant to drink, but since his father-in-law chose it himself, Yang Hai certainly wouldn't have any objection!
The old father-in-law doesn't think that his net worth of tens of billions is nothing great, and he can't eat in such an ordinary restaurant. Yang Hai doesn't think he is that great either, and such an ordinary barbecue restaurant is not worthy of his status.
The two drank and chatted, mostly with Father Shen reminiscing about how difficult it was for him to establish the Shen Group and get to where it is today. Yang Hai listened attentively and asked a few questions from time to time.
"Dad! I heard that the world was not very peaceful in that era. There were many gangs, and they often fought each other for interests. Is it true?" Yang Hai asked curiously.
"Of course it's true. There are always places where the sun doesn't shine. Where there is light there is darkness." Father Shen nodded and said.
"It's just that there are many things that ordinary people simply cannot know because they can't access that level."
"It's different from the old society. Nowadays, people in the underworld generally don't dare to touch ordinary people casually. That would only lead to death." "But now it's much better. The social security is many times better than it was in our time. Although you are very rich now, you don't have to worry too much."
"At least you are safe in Linhai City, but it's hard to say about other places."
"But if you really encounter an emergency someday, you must remember to save your life even at the cost of your wealth."
"As long as you are alive, you will have a chance to earn back the money. If you are dead, what is the point of having so much money?"
……
The two of them talked a lot and had a great time. They drank a lot of wine and had a great time too. But the final result was as expected, that is, they both got drunk and started talking nonsense with their arms around each other.
"Brother Yang, let me tell you, a man must act tougher in front of a woman, like a man, and don't always be afraid of this or that."
"As a woman, how can she turn the world upside down?"
"If you don't beat him for three days, he will tear down the roof. Sometimes you just beat him up and he will obey you."
"I don't dare to fight. What if I beat her and run away?" Yang Hai said in a cowardly manner.
Yang Hai still had a clear mind at this time. He knew that the old man in front of him was his father-in-law. His father-in-law asked him to beat his wife, and he really listened to his father-in-law and beat his wife.
You must listen to what your father-in-law says in reverse.
Father Shen said loudly, "What are you afraid of? The monk can escape but the temple cannot. Where else can he run to? At most, he can run back to his mother's house. You are so shameless to go to your mother-in-law's house every day to pester her. She has to go home with you."
"At most your mother-in-law will scold you, but can she really make you divorce her daughter?"
"That's impossible. Which parent would want their daughter to get divorced?"
"What Big Brother said makes sense. You have more experience." Yang Hai said in agreement.
"But what if I beat her and she still doesn't obey?"
Father Shen drunkenly said, "Brother, you are stupid. If she doesn't obey after the first beating, why don't you beat her a second time? If she still doesn't obey after the second beating, then beat her a third time. You will eventually be able to beat her until she obeys. Then she won't dare to go up to the roof and make trouble again."
"If you tell her to go east, she will never dare to go west. If you tell her to go west, she will never dare to go east."
"Big brother is really awesome! What he said is really thought-provoking and has benefited me a lot." Yang Hai gave a thumbs up to Mr. Shen.
Shen Ruobing, who rushed to the scene, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when seeing the two drunk men, one old and one young, hugging each other, calling each other brothers and talking nonsense.
How can a father teach his son-in-law how to deal with his own daughter? This guy must be really drunk!
However, no matter how angry she was, Shen Ruobing had no way to ignore these two men. These were the two most important men in the world to her, and the two men she loved the most.
Shen Ruobing drove the car herself and took the two drunks back to the Shen family. When Shen's mother saw the two drunks, one old and one young, she was a little amused and helpless. She quickly went to the kitchen and made two bowls of sobering soup for the two of them.
Then the mother and daughter each waited on their men and went back to their rooms to rest. A drunk person would basically be fine as long as he woke up from a nap.
After the two men fell asleep, the mother and daughter sat in the living room and chatted. Shen Ruobing took the opportunity to tell her mother about her father.
"Mom! Did Dad really hit you when he was young?" After making the complaint, Shen Ruobing asked curiously.
"No! Your father was just talking nonsense when he was drunk and you believed it!" Mother Shen denied.
"But your father is right about one thing. It's not easy for a man to do business and make money to support his family."
"Being bullied outside and having to look at other people's faces, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, the pressure in my heart is already very great."
"After returning home, we as women should be more considerate of the difficulties faced by men."
