Chapter 824 - 316: Ouyang Jiani Appointed as Assistant to the Director (Part 2)
She started giggling foolishly.Sun Dasheng tapped her forehead, "Wake up, what are you thinking about? Smiling so foolishly?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry, I got lost in a daydream for a moment. All of this today feels like a dream to me."
"Alright, stop thinking about all that. Did you remember everything I instructed you before?" Sun Dasheng asked her seriously, making Huang Han also turn serious for once and said with a straight face,
"President Sun, don’t worry. I haven’t been just messing around in the secretariat recently. I’ve gathered my own group of loyal people. When you assign me the supervisory task, there should be no problem."
She pledged with confidence, thumping her chest as she made the promise.
The reason is not too hard to guess; it’s the power of money at play.
In this era, who talks about loyalty and devotion?
Isn’t it still that if you pay well, people are willing to listen to you?
She used the pocket money Sun Dasheng gave her to win over a group of compliant girls in the secretariat, thinking it’d be useful in the future.
But she didn’t expect that day to come so soon.
"Well then, is there anything else you need? Don’t be shy, just say it. Once this chance is gone, it won’t come again."
Sun Dasheng’s words were quite clear; if you work for me, I’m not stingy with rewards.
But if you miss this opportunity and later ask for expensive things, I might not agree.
Huang Han thought for a moment, then spoke honestly, "President Sun, I need a car to get around. I was driving a BMW MINI before, and although it’s quite practical, now that you’ve given me such a big luxurious house, driving it in and out feels a bit mismatched, doesn’t it?"
"Makes sense, just choose the car you like, and bring the bill to me for signing," Sun Dasheng said without even thinking.
Afterwards, he noticed the hesitation on her face.
He immediately understood what she was thinking.
She probably felt awkward because he didn’t mention a specific price for the car, so Sun Dasheng said, "Anything under ten million will do."
"Huh? That’s too expensive, there’s no need for that. I think a Maserati for over a million is quite nice."
Huang Han was startled.
What are you doing, a ten million car?
Even if you dare to gift me that, I wouldn’t dare to drive it out.
What if it gets scratched or bumped, wouldn’t I feel heartbroken?
I’d probably not even have the money to repair it, forget about such an expensive one.
Buying something you can’t afford to use, leaving it in the garage gathering dust, would just be a joke.
"Alright, as long as you like it, buy whatever you want." Sun Dasheng didn’t dwell on it.
"Anything else? Speak up now." They ended up haggling as if they were negotiating a deal.
In truth, it indeed was a kind of deal.
It’s just that this deal involved something more complicated, which is human nature.
Sun Dasheng decided not to test human nature, hence he didn’t gift directly but chose a three-year trial period instead.
Huang Han also didn’t choose to test her own human nature, so she readily agreed to the other party’s request.
"Well, I want to buy a small house nearby for my parents, for their retirement. Is that okay?" Huang Han weakly looked at him.
Sun Dasheng immediately understood her intentions, could it be like the ancient act of sending hostages?
To reassure him, she’s willing to have her parents live under his watch? To give him peace of mind?
"There’s no need for that, I trust you. If you’re truly filial, buy a nice villa for your parents back in your hometown. It’s better for them to retire there, many elderly are attached to their roots, and besides, Shanghai City isn’t very welcoming to outsiders. It’s better if they don’t come here."
Sun Dasheng’s words were genuinely heartfelt.
Huang Han naturally felt it and her eyes instantly became moist, emotionally hugging him, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."
After dealing with Huang Han,
everything was sorted out.
In the future, the affairs at the company that he needed to personally handle would be greatly reduced.
With the free time, he suddenly wanted to spend more time with his family.
Especially with a few little ones.
The first stop was Wu Xiaoli’s place.
The child could already run and jump, being at the naughtiest age. When she saw someone coming to the house, she stood there foolishly and asked her mom, "Who is this uncle?"
Making Sun Dasheng feel both amused and annoyed.
This little sweetie is already leaking air.
"An’an, hurry and call him dad. Dad came to see you." Wu Xiaoli helped Sun Dasheng change his shoes and said to her puzzled daughter who was still standing there.
"Huh? This is dad?" Little An’an was first puzzled, then ran inside.
"Be careful, don’t trip. What are you running for, weren’t you always thinking about dad at home? Now that dad’s here, you’re running away?"
Wu Xiaoli gave Sun Dasheng an apologetic glance, then chased after the child.
Sun Dasheng wasn’t displeased. After all, this was his fault, the child didn’t even recognize him, wasn’t it because he barely spent time with them?
He had just reached the living room when suddenly there were thumping sounds of someone coming downstairs quickly. Looking up, he saw the little one swiftly descending the stairs, with her mom, Wu Xiaoli, following behind, shouting for her to be careful and slow down.
The little one didn’t listen at all.
She missed a step and was about to tumble down.
Sun Dasheng quickly moved, covering the space in just a couple of steps, reaching out his hands to catch the child safely in his arms.
In his arms, An’an was very brave and didn’t look scared by the accident at all. Instead, she widened her eyes and said to Sun Dasheng in a childish voice, "Dad, you’re amazing!"
This comment amused Sun Dasheng. He pinched her little cheek and asked, "Didn’t you not know me earlier? How do you recognize me now and know I’m dad?"
The little one then took out the small photo album she had with her and showed it to Sun Dasheng, "There’s a picture of dad in here, so I recognized dad."
"Hahaha~~~ so smart. Let dad give you a kiss."
"Mwah!~" A sweet milky scent.
"Oh, dad, you got your saliva all over my face," the daughter said with disdain.
Making all the adults present laugh.
By the way, Mrs. Wu also came over upon hearing of the arrival.
She just appeared and saw such a heartwarming scene of fatherly affection and childlike respect.
"Da Sheng, have you eaten since you got back? I’ll go cook for you." Mrs. Wu said as she was about to head to the kitchen.
Sun Dasheng hurried to stop her. "No need, let the housekeeper handle that. You should rest."
Mrs. Wu sighed, "With my poor health, I can’t even make you a meal."
At this moment, Wu Xiaoli came over too, holding her mom’s arm and said, "Mom, recently Da Sheng contacted the best traditional medicine master for you, right? He will prescribe some health remedies for you, and soon, you’ll be cured."
"Really?" Mrs. Wu’s eyes lit up.
People of their generation are still quite superstitious about traditional Chinese medicine.
"Yes, what Xiaoli said is correct. I invited a prestigious traditional medicine doctor for you, not those quack doctors you find in the streets. He’s a renowned expert I could only get after his retirement, otherwise, ordinary people couldn’t invite such a celebrated figure."
Sun Dasheng explained.
This arrangement was something he had discussed over the phone with Wu Xiaoli before coming over.
"Oh, so he’s like an imperial physician?" Mrs. Wu understood this.
Probably from watching too many costume dramas.
"More or less." Sun Dasheng didn’t bother to clarify further.
That understanding was likely just fine.
"That’s great, that’s great!" Mrs. Wu immediately exclaimed with hope.
Her health was frail due to surgery before. Even with an abundance of supplements at home, she never fully recovered, and could only engage in light work, otherwise her body couldn’t handle it.
If it was before, she might have thought this situation was alright.
But ever since she had a granddaughter, she always wanted to regain her health completely.
Because she loved taking care of children, but due to her health, the young couple was reluctant to let her take the child out for walks or anything like that.
Now she could only play with her at home for a short while.
Every night during their community walks, she’d feel quite envious seeing other grandparents playing outside with their grandchildren.
