"Mommy, I went to my uncle's company and found out that my uncle is a workaholic!" Xiao Letong chattered to Xiao Lingyu after he returned home, "He goes to work before his working hours, and he works overtime until very late every day. He's practically a working robot!"
Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly when she heard this. Then, she said, "Your uncle is really hardworking!"
Xiao Letong nodded and said, "You're right. But he's not only hard on himself but also on his employees too. He wants everyone to work overtime with him. Do you know what nickname those brothers and sisters gave uncle?"
Xiao Lingyu raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "Oh, nickname?"
"The Devil CEO!" Xiao Letong said, "Mommy, this is not good. Uncle's subordinates actually called him the Devil CEO. It shows how much uncle has been torturing his employees."
Xiao Lingyu patted his little head in amusement and said, "If your uncle heard this, how sad would he be?"
"No way," Xiao Letong said. "Uncle has also realized how wrong he is. So, he decided to compensate all the employees in his company."
Xiao Letong's tone made Xiao Lingyu even more curious. "Oh, tell me. What kind of compensation does your uncle want to give the employees?"
"Uncle said that in order to help the employees relax, he decided to organize the entire company's employees to visit our Taoyuan Village."
Xiao Lingyu,"..." Based on her understanding of her son, this was probably not Lei Junshan's idea, but this little brat's idea.
Xiao Lingyu did not expose Xiao Letong and nodded in agreement. "Oh, it seems that we have to prepare well to receive this big business deal!"
Xiao Letong immediately smiled happily, "Yes, yes, we should receive them well. These people have been working hard for my uncle. They are serious and responsible. We have to make sure that they have a fun time here."
"Okay!"Xiao Lingyu smiled dotingly and said, "It's very late. You and Ling 'Er should go and rest!"
"Okay, good night, Mommy!" Xiao Letong obediently went to sleep.
"Mommy, good night!" Xiao Ling also greeted Xiao Lingyu goodbye and went to rest with Xiao Letong.
When Gong Tianhao returned home, he saw a dazed Xiao Lingyu sitting in her room. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. He walked up and massaged her shoulders as he asked curiously, "What happened? Did something bad happen during your inspection at the supermarket today?"
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, "Yes, something happened at the supermarket, but it's been settled now. I am more concerned about our son."
"Our son?" Gong Tianhao asked in surprise, "What happened to our son? Didn't he follow Lei Junshan to the company today? Did he get into trouble?"
Xiao Lingyu rolled her eyes and said, "Gong Tianhao, do you think our son is a troublemaker?"
Gong Tianhao immediately understood that he had stirred up a hornet's nest. He said in a flattering manner, "No, honey, I didn't mean that."
"Then what do you mean?" Xiao Lingyu said relentlessly, "Our son likes to play a little sometimes, but he never gets into trouble for no reason!"
Gong Tianhao immediately admitted his mistake and said, "Wife, I was wrong. Our son is the most sensible and obedient. He never causes trouble."
Xiao Lingyu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, that's more like it."
Gong Tianhao secretly heaved a sigh of relief and then asked, "Then wife, what did our son do now?"
Xiao Lingyu shook her head helplessly and said with a smile, "Our son went to Big Brother's company. Guess what happened?"
"What happened?" Gong Tianhao asked curiously.
"He convinced Big Brother to organize for his entire company to visit Taoyuan Village!"Xiao Lingyu said.
"Huh?!" Gong Tianhao was really surprised. He asked, "Lei Junshan is a workaholic. He makes sure that his company is filled with workaholics too. Plus, his business runs all year round. How did our Tong Tong manage to convince Lei Junshan?" He paused for a moment and guessed, "Could it be that he did this because he loves Tong Tong? But that is not like Lei Junshan at all."
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, "I'm not too sure about that."
Gong Tianhao thought for a moment and said, "I'll call Lei Junshan and ask him. This is a big matter. We can't just let our son go around messing with other people's company operations."
After saying that, Gong Tianhao gave Lei Junshan a call.
After the call was connected, Gong Tianhao asked directly, "Junshan, I heard from Tong Tong that you want to organize your entire company's employees to travel to Taoyuan Village, is that right?"
"Why did you suddenly make such a decision?"
"Oh, okay!"
After Gong Tianhao hung up the phone, Xiao Lingyu asked curiously, "Tianhao, what does Big Brother say?"
Gong Tianhao looked at Xiao Lingyu and said with a smile, "Yu 'Er, you really gave birth to a sensible and good son."
Xiao Lingyu was baffled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Gong Tianhao said with a smile, "You know that Lei Junshan is a workaholic. It's very common for him to stay up all night for work. No one can persuade him to relax and stay away from work. But our son did it."
Xiao Lingyu raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "What did our son do?"
"Our son told Lei Junshan that money is not everything in this life. We won't bring the wealth with us when we die. Therefore, he shouldn't sacrifice his health for money. Otherwise, he'll spend the later half of his life spending the money earned in the first part of his life to cure his body!" At this point, Gong Tianhao could not help but exclaim, "Yu 'Er, our son is really smart and eloquent. Most importantly, at such a young age, he is able to be so philosophical. Our son is indeed worthy of being praised as a child prodigy."
Xiao Lingyu said with a laugh, "So is that how Tong Tong convinced Big Brother?"
"Yes!" Gong Tianhao nodded.
Xiao Lingyu said speechlessly, "Then Big Brother is too easy to convince."
Gong Tianhao put his arm around Xiao Lingyu's shoulder and sighed, "Yu 'Er, you might not know. No one has cared about Lei Junshan's well-being before. Tong Tong might have said many things, but that is because he cares about him. Therefore, Junshan agreed to it."
Xiao Lingyu was silent for a moment before she sighed and said, "I didn't expect someone as rich as Big Brother to be a child who wants someone to care about him."
Gong Tianhao smiled and said, "But everything's okay now. He has a family and many people caring for him. Besides, his company has been established for a long time, and he hasn't organized many trips for his company members. This vacation will benefit him and his company. He will be able to come back to the Xiao Family. And he will be able to make Tong Tong happy. So why wouldn't he do it?"
After hearing Gong Tianhao's words, Xiao Lingyu said with a speechless smile, "You're making our son sound like such a schemer."
Gong Tianhao said in a fawning manner, "Yu 'Er, why would you think that? I'm saying that our son is very smart."
Gong Tianhao then thought of something and asked, "You said that you ran into something at the supermarket. What happened?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Nothing. It's just that I caught the supermarket's general manager having an affair with a female employee. However, I fired them on the spot."
Gong Tianhao frowned slightly and asked, "If I remember correctly, the general manager of the Beijing supermarket was recommended by Li Yuanhang, right? What is wrong with him? The man he recommended is so unreliable. It looks like he wants to have his bonus deducted."
Xiao Lingyu immediately said, "What does this have to do with Li Yuanhang? Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Back then, when assistant Li brought the manager to me, I personally inspected him. In that case, I am at fault too."
Gong Tianhao immediately said, "How is it your fault? You're not familiar with the manager, but it's different with Li Yuanhang. Since he was the one who recommended the person, at least he was familiar with the person. He vouched for his character. But, now this person is rotten. So Li Yuanhang had to take responsibility!"
Xiao Lingyu said in disapproval, "Haven't you heard of the saying, 'The human heart is unpredictable'? No matter how familiar two people are, they can't say that they understand each other completely. Moreover, the human heart is the most fickle. Perhaps the manager was a good person in the past."
Gong Tianhao still said unhappily, "But this is too much. In the end, it's still Li Yuanhang's fault. It's his fault for not seeing people clearly."
"Alright, I've already dealt with this matter. Don't blame this on Assistant Li. In the future, you're not allowed to fuss about it anymore!" Xiao Lingyu said.
Gong Tianhao helplessly said with affection and gentleness, "Alright, I won't fuss about it anymore." He looked at the time. Then, he whispered softly in Xiao Lingyu's ear, "Honey, it's very late. Shouldn't we rest?"
Xiao Lingyu's ears turned red, and she nodded lightly.
Then...
The next day, when the family was having breakfast, Xiao Letong looked at his father's face, and his eyes kept blinking.
Gong Tianhao couldn't ignore his son's burning gaze and asked, "Son, if you have something to say, say it!"
Xiao Letong immediately revealed a naive smile and asked, "Daddy, look, uncle has already planned to organize the entire company's employees to travel to Taoyuan Village. Your company is bigger and richer than him. You can't lose to uncle, right?"
Gong Tianhao naturally knew what his son was getting at. However, Gong Tianhao said stubbornly, "My company organizes all the employees to go on a trip every year, and they all go abroad."
"..." Xiao Letong smacked his lips and said directly, "That means that your company hasn't been to Taoyuan Village. Daddy, how can you not support Mommy?"
"..." Gong Tianhao thought for a moment and said, "Alright, our company will not go abroad this year. We'll come to Taoyuan Village!"
Xiao Letong immediately said happily, "That's right. We shouldn't benefit the outsiders, right? Mommy, the good benefits should be kept within the family, right?"
Xiao Lingyu, "..." Son, I don't think that's the right idiom.
"Ahem..." Xiao Lingyu covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Of course. Tong Tong is so clever."
Xiao Letong's eyes immediately curved into a crescent moon as he said, "Daddy, look, Mommy agrees with me."
Gong Tianhao said helplessly, "Okay, you two are right. I will listen to you."
"You definitely should have listened to us," Xiao Letong said, "Mommy has more than one farm. There's also Phoenix Farm, Plum Shadow Farm... There are so many farms. Daddy, you should organize trips to all of them so that your employees can relax."
Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu, "..." Have our son gotten addicted to being a salesman? He's even pitching a sale to his father. Plus, none of their farms lacked customers.
Gong Tianhao patted his little head and said with a doting smile, "Alright, I'll organize my company to go to every farm. Is that okay?"
Xiao Letong nodded and said, "Yes, this is how you show your love for your wife."
Xiao Lingyu laughed and said, "Are you sure you're not just scamming your family? You scammed your first uncle and now you're trying to scam your father."
Xiao Letong immediately retorted, "Mommy, I'm not scamming them. I am helping them. For example, the employees at first uncle's company work so hard. They are overworked.
"My suggestion for them to come to Taoyuan Village is for their own good. Taoyuan Village has beautiful mountains, rivers, and beautiful scenery. There are also endless delicacies. It's good for the eyes, good for the body, and good for the heart. When they go back to work, they will be more efficient." Xiao Letong spoke with conviction and continued, "Also, Dad's company will go on a trip every year anyway. Since our farms are paradises on earth, why not benefit the company workers?"
Xiao Lingyu said in amusement, "Yes, yes, everything you said is right, you little money-grubber!"
Xiao Letong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Mommy, I've got two big clients for you. Do I get a commission? Oh, and a bonus!"
Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao, "..." This little money-grubber was only interested in money.
