Great Power Technology - #601 - Chapter 591 Difficulties in Ordinary Life
After returning home, Hu Li took the meal prepared by his wife at noon and heated it in the microwave as usual. They were both very busy at work. If they went home to cook, it would often be past ten o’clock in the evening after dinner, so , his wife always takes advantage of the company’s lunch break to run home and prepare dinner for the evening. Because they are so close, she can sometimes lie in bed and rest for half an hour.
It was quite sad to say this. The most important thing for the Chinese people was not having fresh food for dinner. If the gossipy middle-aged women in their hometown heard about it, they would have to say something bad about the big city. But somehow, he My wife doesn’t think this is so great.
Every time after get off work, she would proudly show off to Hu Li what new quick dish she had learned. She would cook it in ten minutes at noon and then sleep for an hour. Hu Li was also very cooperative, no matter what dish he tried for the first time. No matter how unpalatable it was, he swallowed it all with a smile on his face.
Today’s dish is fish-flavored eggplant stew. The overheated eggplant has turned black and smells like the burnt smell of canned dace fish that has been heated. Hu Li picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, then smiled helplessly and shook his head. .
But fortunately, this dish is just “unpalatable”. For him who is used to all kinds of weird dishes, it is not unpalatable.
He stood there and thought for a moment, then took out two sausages from the refrigerator and roasted them in the microwave for two minutes. Then he took them out and sliced them. When he was putting them on the plate, his wife happened to open the door and came back from get off work.
“I’m back!”
Hearing his wife’s cheerful voice as always, Hu Li quickly stood up to greet him. Regardless of the oil stains on his hands, she rushed up to hug him and acted coquettishly. The two stayed like this for a while before they separated. They each packed their things and sat down at the dinner table. start.
“Today’s eggplant was pretty good.”
Hu Li said.
“Bah, bah, bah, it’s so good. It’s so salty. I shouldn’t have added any more salt after I put the can in it. Remember that next time.”
My wife chuckled, a little ashamed on her face.
“It’s okay. It’s good to do this for the first time. How are you today? Did your work go well?”
“It’s not bad! I went to give out wedding candies today, and our leader even congratulated me. He said he had prepared a big red envelope for us. I don’t know how big it is – I guess it will be given out in the bonus for the first half of the year.”
“You said these leaders are all talented people. You can’t say bonuses in the first place. I don’t know how much they will give you. Can this be considered a red envelope? You might as well give me two hundred yuan.”
Hu Li heard it funny. Compared with his long-term work on the customer line, his wife’s work content is simpler and there is not much so-called human sophistication, so it is difficult for her to see the meaning behind a bonus.
In his opinion, his wife’s boss obviously intends to give her some support at work – after all, he has met her a few times, and his intuition tells him that she is a fairly kind-hearted, old-school middle-aged woman with some tricks on her body. It’s an old-fashioned habit, but it also has the human touch of the compound.
Thinking of this, he said:
“You, you, will people miss the red envelope? She just wants to take this opportunity to give you a favor, which will be good for your future development. When we come back from vacation, we will treat her to a meal alone and pay her back Favor.”
“Oh I see.”
After listening to Hu Li’s words, his wife nodded reluctantly, then sighed and said:
“Hey, it costs money again. Is there any way to repay a favor without spending money? For example, inviting her to your house for a meal or something?”
“That’s okay, but you guys aren’t that close yet. Normally you have to be good friends to have dinner at home. Now if you invite me, they may not be willing to come.”
“It’s okay, it’s just a meal and it doesn’t cost much. We spent so much money on our wedding, so it’s not bad.”
“That’s true, but the little money adds up to a lot – do you know how much money we still have?”
“How many?”
Hu Li asked curiously.
He didn’t have a clear understanding of his family’s property, but he had a rough idea. According to his estimate, the deposit was about seven to eight million, which was still far from buying a house, but he could still get it by tiptoeing.
“794,000. When I get my salary next month, we will be able to save 800,000. Hey, it sounds like a big number, but it feels like we are still far away from buying a house.”
The expression on his wife’s face was a little helpless. Hu Li felt a twitch in his heart and did not answer.
The topic of house is the topic that the two of them bring up most often, but they are the least willing to bring it up. They both know that they must have a house of their own, but where will the money come from?
The life of a small person does not have so many grand and life-and-death decisions, but more pressure and frustrations like cutting flesh with a dull knife, slowly wearing away the little willpower.
In fact, most of these questions point to the same core – money.
With money, many things can be solved.
No wonder so many people take desperate risks and take those paths in criminal law.
Hu Li sighed secretly in his heart, and then he smiled sarcastically. The wife opposite noticed his expression and asked:
“What are you laughing at?”
Hu Li raised his head and replied:
“No, I just laughed at us for being so fussy about calculating money. In fact, I have a way to get money. Do you want to hear it?”
“Say it quickly!”
My wife’s eyes lit up instantly and she couldn’t wait to ask.
Hu Li cleared his throat, put down the bowl in his hand, and said seriously:
“Do you know the recent news about immune reconstitution therapy?”
The wife tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying:
“I’ve heard a little bit about it, but I didn’t look into it carefully – what’s wrong, will your company participate in this project?”
Hu Li shook his head, then nodded again.
“It counts as participation, but not directly. Our company is one of the core suppliers of SUT products and controls about 20% of domestic SUT channels. It can be said that if immune reconstitution therapy is to enter large-scale trials in the future, it must start from us. The company purchases a large amount of SUT products.”
“Then what? You mean you can get a commission?”
“No, how much is the commission? It won’t solve the problem. What I mean is that someone is eyeing this piece of cake. They want to buy our company at a big price. Part of it is to compensate the current employees.”
“You know, our company has a collective shareholding structure. Major decisions like acquisitions require the signature of the employee committee – I am one of the committee representatives.”
“I’m sure that as long as I sign, I can definitely get a considerable signing fee.”
“Sign it! Why don’t you sign it!”
The wife’s expression immediately became excited, and before Hu Li could explain, she continued:
“You said, who does your company’s business? It’s just an acquisition anyway, and the production process won’t change – your job content shouldn’t change either, right?”
“That’s not surprising, but do you want to hear who wants to acquire us?”
“who?”
The wife opposite also put down the bowl, looked at Hu Li with a serious expression, and suddenly realized that things might not be that simple.
Hu Li sighed and said:
“Xiancere Pharmaceuticals.”
