Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Marriage is a big deal. Jidong can accept having a wife at this stage, but he doesn't want to be a father too soon.

After he finished his meal, he went to find Xiangxiang and told her his thoughts.

Xiang Xiang also doesn't want to have a baby too soon. "I just took over my second shopping mall. I'm very busy now. How can I have time to have a baby?"

The two of them hit it off immediately, "Then let's get married first. We can wait two years to have a baby."

Xiangxiang agreed.

Jidong went home and told Zhang Xiuhua about his plan to get married. Zhang Xiuhua asked him to go to the county town to buy gifts the next day. "Don't go empty-handed. Buy some wine, snacks, canned food, sausages and cigarettes. Two of each. The etiquette here is to go in pairs, not alone."

Jidong nodded, "Okay!"

In the afternoon, Baolin and Ergou came back from the county. Ergou patted Jidong on the shoulder and said, "You came back quite early this year?"

Jidong took him into the house and asked him some questions.

Er Gou followed into the house, confused, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Xiuhua gathered the New Year's goods that Baolin and Ergou had bought. The meat had to be brought into the house to prevent it from being eaten by animals. Some fruits and vegetables also had to be put in the cellar. These things were not resistant to freezing.

The two were busy when Ergou's exclamation came from the inner room.

Baolin was confused. "What's wrong? What's the fuss?"

She stood at the door of the bedroom and looked at the two people in the room, "You two are not going to fight, are you?"

Ergou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "We are both so old. How could we fight?" He waved his hand at her, "Let's talk about the toy factory."

Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to be arguing, Baolin stopped asking questions.

But when eating, Jidong seemed to be worried, and he ate slower than before. Zhang Xiuhua was a little surprised to see that he looked worried, "What's wrong with you?"

Jidong pursed his lips and said, "Aunt, I'm not happy!"

Zhang Xiuhua was puzzled, could it be that he didn't want to get married? She sighed, "Forget it, if you don't want to get married, then don't get married. I'm not pushing you. Marriage is a lifelong thing, don't let it end up being a grudge, otherwise I'd be guilty."

Jidong was slightly startled and waved his hands quickly, "No! Aunt, it's not that I don't want to get married. It's something else. I'm not happy."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't understand. Was this the only thing she mentioned after he came back?

Jidong was afraid that his aunt would misunderstand him again, so he told her everything, "It was about that experiment. The idea was clearly mine. But when the names were signed, the team leader's name was listed before mine."

Don't underestimate the order of names, because the first author is the first author, and the contributions of the latter are far less than the former.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't quite understand this, but Jidong cared about the order, which might be very important to him. She didn't quite understand, "Didn't you say that his ideas were different from yours?"

Previously, his plan was inconsistent with the team leader's, but after consideration, the superiors chose the team leader's plan. Jidong spent 3 million to do a small experiment on his own. What's the matter without the team leader? !

"Yes! He didn't do anything. But he took away most of my achievements. I'm not happy." Jidong went to the director to get his achievements back, but it's okay to take over other people's business once or twice, but if it happens too often, he will be marginalized by the team leader.

Zhang Xiuhua sighed, "He is the leader. If he doesn't sign his name, will this experiment not be able to be put into practice?"

"Yes!" Jidong nodded.

Baolin thought he should hold back. "After all, you are the leader. Didn't you even put my mother's name on it before? My mother knows nothing about scientific research."

"How can they be the same? My aunt is my relative, at least she gave me 3 million. The team leader didn't help me at all. When I was doing the experiment, he even ridiculed me for overestimating my ability." Jidong was narrow-minded. For this experiment, he lived and ate in the laboratory. Not to mention the suffering he endured, the key point was that he was also laughed at. He was laughed at before, but when the results really came out, he got the fruits of his labor. How could he be happy? He was one level lower than the team leader, so he deserved to be the other party's stepping stone? He wouldn't do it!

Seeing that he was angry, Ergou tried to smooth things over, "Baolin is doing this for your own good. He is your leader, don't you want to see your achievements put into practice? Be patient for a while and slowly accumulate strength."

Zhang Xiuhua sighed. Jidong has had a sense of territory since he was a child. When he started a company, he would rather work with outsiders than with his family because he clearly distinguished between public and private. Now someone has encroached on his achievements, so of course he will be unhappy. "You didn't deal with him?" Jidong is not a good person. It is not his character not to take the opportunity to retaliate after suffering such a big loss.

Jidong's eyes were sharp. "I took care of it. I told the director about it and got back what I deserved. The team leader was fined three months' salary, lost his welfare housing, and was removed from his position as an ordinary scientific researcher. But I also broke the unspoken rules. I may not be able to be assigned to key work in the future."

There was a severe shortage of scientific research talents at that time, and the director asked him to have a sense of the overall situation and understand the difficulties of the institute. If one person was missing, the project might be delayed.

He was still unhappy with the outcome, and he would not be able to do any important research and development work in the future. He looked at Zhang Xiuhua and said, "Aunt, I plan to resign."

This result was indeed unexpected. Jidong liked to think things over before making a decision. Since he had this plan, he must have considered it carefully.

Zhang Xiuhua did not rush to deny it, but asked him, "What are you going to do?"

"I want to do my own research and development. My toy factory is now my own. It is still very profitable. I plan to develop high-end toys and export them overseas. I also plan to focus on the development of remote-controlled aircraft. Through foreign technology, combined with domestic cheap labor, I can seize the market." Jidong doesn't like to be controlled by others. "I still prefer to make money and do my own research and development. It's a waste of time to always wait for applications from above and deal with interpersonal relationships with other team members."

Ergou advised him, "A toy company is too small, and you are not short of money. You might as well work in a research institute to build large airplanes. This job doesn't pay much, but it gives you a lot of face when you go out. Just bear with it. You are so smart, are you afraid that you can't beat those people?"

Jidong shook his head, "I can win, but I don't want to waste my precious time on such a meaningless fight."

He has to use connections to get a job. This is not a research institute, it is clearly the officialdom. If he wants to be an official, why does he want to join a research institute? !

Ergou had nothing to say.

Zhang Xiuhua thought this was a big deal. "You worked so hard to study, and now you're just going to quit?"

She had always thought that Jidong would become the chief engineer of a large aircraft in the future. Who would have thought that he would choose not to do it!

"I'm working on remote-controlled airplanes now. When I have more money, I can develop drones. The working model of the research institute is not suitable for me." Jidong thought about it for a long time before making this decision. The research institute was so short of money that every penny had to be spent wisely. Moreover, good plans were given priority to high-level engineers, and small minions like him could only help with odd jobs. He couldn't even drink soup.

Zhang Xiuhua rubbed her brows and put down her chopsticks. She couldn't eat anymore. "Have you mentioned this to Xiangxiang?"

"Yes! She said she would support me no matter what decision I make." Jidong looked at Zhang Xiuhua expectantly.

Zhang Xiuhua had no way to answer him at this time, "Can you get the three million back?"

This money was paid by Jidong. The institute should reimburse him.

Jidong nodded, "Yes. But we have to wait until after the New Year. We can't get it now."

Zhang Xiuhua understood that he planned to use the three million to expand the toy factory. She rubbed her brows and said, "I'll discuss it with your uncle."

Jidong felt a little guilty, "Aunt, I made you worry."

"Not really! Actually, this is your own business, so you don't need to discuss it with me, but the work at the institute is very good. It's a pity for you to quit like this." Zhang Xiuhua's words were not empty. The monthly salary at the institute was more than 600 yuan, which was just the basic salary. The year-end bonus was more than three times the salary. There were additional bonuses for completing projects, and various gifts on holidays.

It was such a good job, and others were trying their best to get it, but he actually wanted to quit. If the villagers knew about it, they would definitely say he was the stupidest person in the world.

Li Jianguo came back very late today because of a social event. Zhang Xiuhua told him that Jidong was going to quit his job and start his own business.

Li Jianguo had drunk quite a bit of wine, and when he heard this, he sat up immediately and blurted out, "Why?"

Zhang Xiuhua explained the matter in detail, "Jidong has always been independent-minded. He doesn't like to waste time on interpersonal relationships."

Li Jianguo thought it was a pity for Jidong to go into business with his talent. "Our national aviation is still in the exploratory stage. He has just started working and his superiors are short of money, so they dare not take risks. As long as he works for a long time, they will definitely value his opinions."

No employee will be valued as soon as he joins the company. Status is accumulated step by step through daily work results. Jidong is a bit too hasty. Of course, he is just talking without thinking. Genius feels that it is a waste if his talent cannot be fully utilized.

Zhang Xiuhua rubbed her brows. "Kids nowadays think differently than they used to. Jidong has been very smart since he was young and has a strong sense of territory. He is definitely offending his boss by confronting him this time. If he doesn't leave, the boss might make things difficult for him. He wants to work alone, and he has his own considerations."

Jidong always thinks three steps ahead before doing anything. When he chose to confront his boss, he was probably ready to resign.

Li Jianguo knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he sighed, "In the end, we are useless. We can't help him."

Zhang Xiuhua was not happy to hear this. "We don't live for our children. According to your logic, should we blame our parents for not providing us with good conditions?"

Li Jianguo didn't mean that. He just felt that Jidong could have made great achievements in aerospace, but now he was running a toy factory. It was a waste of talent. But what could he say? The child didn't want to do it, and he had no way to stop him. "Forget it. Let him do it if he wants to. He's so smart, he can do anything."

Zhang Xiuhua rubbed her brows. Although she enjoyed criticizing Li Jianguo, she felt it was a pity to let Jidong resign. What a good job, he just quit like that! Oh!
