Chapter 3 Family
After implementing the whereabouts, Mr. Chen roughly introduced the situation of Xiahuacheng Branch to Zhou Liwen. Huacheng Branch was established in 1993 and is one of the first branches established by the group. The company is located on Renmin Road, the center of Huacheng City, and has a three-story office building and a warehouse in Xitang. It has 16 formal employees. In addition to the manager, it also has three departments: Sales Department, Finance Department and Warehousing Department, which are responsible for the business of the entire Southeast region. The annual turnover ranking is second only to Kyoto Company except the region where the group headquarters is located.
Due to the current review reasons, the Huacheng Branch is temporarily in the rectification stage. The group headquarters requires that people be sent to take over the work in Huacheng as soon as possible to avoid affecting the group's annual sales. Therefore, there is not much time left for Zhou Liwen. Mr. Chen gave Zhou Liwen only five days to prepare for the handover of his current position, and then went to Huacheng to officially take office.
There has never been any major concern in state-owned enterprises. Before we get off work, news that Zhou Liwen will be transferred to the manager of the Southeast Branch spread. Many colleagues from various departments came to congratulate him, especially some people who usually have work contact with Zhou Liwen, who happily congratulated Zhou Liwen on his high performance and joked that Zhou Liwen went to the Southeast Branch to put a few annuity, and he would definitely be able to upgrade again after he came back. In the future, everyone would have to rely on him to take care of him.
If it were Zhou Liwen from the past, he would have been complacent when he heard these words and would have been floating. But now, Zhou Liwen just smiled faintly, neither saying good nor bad about these compliments, but only said some ambiguous clichés, and fooling them into playing Tai Chi with them.
For the whole afternoon, Zhou Liwen had no time to hand over because the people who came to receive the news were repeatedly undecided. However, he was not very anxious about the handover issue. He was always careful in his work and there would be no problems with the accounts. However, the warehouse was a little troublesome and had to take the person who took over to re-trade the warehouse. It was estimated that two or three days would be enough.
Mr. Chen gave him five days, so there was no problem. In addition to work handover, Zhou Liwen had to handle personal affairs well.
After get off work, Zhou Liwen went straight to his parents' house. Zhou Liwen moved out of his parents' house last year. It was not that he moved out after getting married and getting married. But last year, his father's unit happened to have a public rental house for sale. Although the house was not big, it was just one bedroom and one living room, but the location was pretty good and the community environment was good. It happened that the housing reform had just been implemented at that time. The parents' provident fund plus Zhou Liwen's part, and he gave some money and took the house down, which became Zhou Liwen's nest.
Although I moved out, Zhou Liwen still went back to her parents' house for dinner after work every day. It was not because she took advantage of her parents. The main reason was that Zhou Liwen lived alone, and she went out early and came back late to start cooking was really troublesome. Anyway, both parties lived close to each other, so it took only ten minutes to take a walk.
Zhou Liwen's family is not complicated. Her father Zhou Lin is a grassroots cadre in the Industrial Bureau, her mother Li Xiaoyuan works in a state-owned enterprise, and her sister Zhou Bei has just graduated from high school and finished college entrance examinations.
"Dad, mom, let me talk to you about something." Zhou Liwen said at the dinner table: "Today, Mr. Chen of the company talked to me and asked me to go to the Southeast Branch to work as a manager. I have agreed to this because the company has given it tight time and I have to go to work next week."
"Southeast Branch? Where is it?" Mother Li Xiaoyuan asked casually with chopsticks for her son.
"In Huacheng." Zhou Liwen replied while chewing her favorite braised pork, and while eating, she roughly explained why she asked him to serve as the branch manager. After hearing this, Li Xiaoyuan frowned: "This is how this errand is done for a long time\u7

684, Son, Huacheng is too far from Shanghai. How long have you been there like this?"
"I don't know, Mr. Chen didn't say anything about it, but according to my guess, I have to stay there for at least four or five years."
"What! Do you have to stay for four or five years?" Li Xiaoyuan's face suddenly darkened and she shook her head and blamed: "Why don't you discuss this big thing with your family first? You are 25 years old this year, and if you stay for five years, it will be 30! Now you don't even have a girlfriend and your family has not been successful. What should I do if I have been away for four or five years? No, no! Call you Mr. Chen immediately, Huacheng must not go!"
"Childish!" As soon as Li Xiaoyuan finished speaking, Zhou Lin couldn't listen anymore. She slapped the chopsticks on her hand on the table and said angrily: "You women have long hair and short knowledge. The old saying often says that starting a family and starting a career, how can men get married without starting a career? What kind of future can they have in the office for the rest of their lives? Besides, with my Liwen's face, will you not be able to find a wife in the future?"
"Oh, I said, Dad, you are very good at English and you still know the face?" Zhou Bei, who was pulling the bowl on the side, was so happy that she almost sprayed out the rice. She tilted her head and looked at Zhou Liwen, covered her mouth and laughed, "Brother, Dad said this, I really found that your face is indeed quite right."
"Go away... Adults talk to children, don't make trouble." Zhou Lin glared at his baby daughter, then said earnestly to Zhou Liwen: "Go! You must go! This is a great opportunity to stand alone. Four or five years is not long, but four or five years later is the golden time for a man. At that time, whether you return to Shanghai or continue to develop there, it will be of great benefit to the future, thinking about the past..."
Zhou Lin couldn't help but sigh as he spoke. It was nothing more than that he had such an opportunity back then. Unfortunately, he couldn't make up his mind and finally gave up. Although his colleague who got that opportunity suffered for several years, he became successful and became uncontrollable. Now he is the boss of a listed company. He worked hard for decades but was still just a small deputy department in the Industrial Bureau. He sat in the office every day to drink.

336 read newspapers and wait for retirement.
Zhou Lin once said this many times, but Zhou Liwen almost heard the calluses in her ears since she was a child, and even Zhou Bei listened to these naggings a lot. But then again, Zhou Lin said this, although his mother Li Xiaoyuan was reluctant to leave, she finally did not object.
At the dinner table, Zhou Lin taught Zhou Liwen a good lesson on this matter. The content was nothing more than how to start work in Huacheng. Of course, what he said was his experience in office over the years. As for whether it was suitable, God knew. However, from Zhou Liwen's heart, he was still very moved by his father's advice.
After dinner, Zhou Liwen planned to go back. Before going back, he told his parents that the handover time was tight and he might have to work overtime tomorrow and that he would not come. As soon as he got up, Zhou Bei jumped up from the sofa and said that he would go downstairs with Zhou Liwen and go to the convenience store at the entrance of the community to buy some snacks or something.
After going downstairs, just after walking a few steps, Zhou Liwen pulled her sister aside: "You girl, tell me, what's the matter with me?"
"Hehe, brother, you understand me." Zhou Bei smiled and held Zhou Liwen's arm, blinked his big eyes and asked, "I said, brother, I'll ask you something, do you go back to Shanghai when you go to work in Huacheng?"
"Of course I will go back, but the specific situation depends on the situation. Apart from the Spring Festival and National Day holidays, I can only go back to the headquarters to handle some work matters. I can't stay there for a few days, what's wrong?"
When Zhou Bei heard this, his face suddenly became happy, and he stretched out his left hand to pretend and said, "Brother, give me your key. Anyway, no one lives in your house. I'm kind-hearted, how about helping you see the house for free?"
"Free home visit?" Zhou Liwen laughed, tilted her head and looked at the serious Zhou Bei: "After working on it for a long time, you are planning to do this? This is absolutely not possible! It is not safe for the big girl to live outside alone. Besides, even if I agree, my parents will not agree. Then they know that they must scold me."
"Don't!" Zhou Bei grabbed Zhou Liwen's arm and shook it, pouting, "I'm not spending the night in your house, at most I'll go to play on the rest day. You know, my mother is nagging very much, and I don't know if it's a menopause attack in the past two years, which makes me almost overwhelmed. Besides, people are about to go to college, so I need some personal privacy... Some things, you understand..."
Zhou Liwen burst into laughter: "I understand? What do I understand? You little yellow-haired girl still have personal privacy? By the way, you are not in love secretly, are you planning to use my house to meet your boyfriend privately?"
"Bah! No!" Zhou Bei's little face turned red: "What boyfriend, I look down on you. Tell your brother, except for your dad and you, all the men outside are smelly. What kind of love do you have? I really don't lie to you, you are a puppy! I just want to lend your house, sometimes stay alone, watch cartoons, comic books and so on."
Zhou Liwen was so funny that he suddenly thought of the actress who became famous for her sister's love words. She thought that she said the same to reporters when she debuted, but these words were similar to her sister. However, girls will grow up after all. Didn't she get married and have children? Moreover, Zhou Liwen was pregnant with her second child while traveling through time, so she didn't know if she had a son or a daughter later. As for her sister, she also got married many years later. In 2014, she was a uncle named Zhou Liwen for several years.
Zhou Liwen thought about Zhou Bei's request and finally agreed to give her a set of spare keys before leaving. However, Zhou Liwen solemnly warned Zhou Bei that this matter must be kept confidential, and if his parents find out, he would not be responsible for taking the blame for her.
