In front of the elders, hiding things was the most despised behavior. Being open and honest was better; the elders would even help. As expected, after Zhu Yanyi finished speaking, Old Man Zhan said, "This is easy. I will ask around for you tomorrow. Then, have your father come over tomorrow evening. We can discuss her cost plans then."
"My godfather is coming too. Will you see her?" Zhu Yanyi asked.
Old Man Zhan paused for a moment. "Are they cooperating together?"
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "You know my father is just a farmer. She is absolutely fine managing crops in the fields, and she gets better every day. But she lacks skills in management. So, she partnered with my godfather. My godfather will manage the people, while my father will manage the fields and production."
It was unrealistic for Cheng Baokun to manage production. He was still the director of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative’s Food Factory and Soy Sauce Factory. However, he was capable of managing people. He could come over when free to hold meetings, do ideological work, and teach Zhu ShunYao some management knowledge. No one was born knowing how to manage people. Since they wanted to develop, they had to learn this skill.
Old Man Zhan nodded as he listened. "In that case, let that young man from the Cheng family come too."
Cheng Baokun was indeed of the younger generation compared to Old Man Zhan.
Zhu Yanyi agreed. "I will tell them tonight. I won’t come during the day tomorrow. I will bring them over in the evening."
"Let that young man Zhang Haifeng take them there. You will go with me to Beijing Hospital tomorrow morning," Old Man Yao spoke up. His disciple was too talented, making Old Man Yao忍不住 want to exploit her.
Zhu Yanyi looked aggrieved. "Grandpa Yao, I haven’t played in Beijing yet. I still want to climb the Great Wall."
Old Man Yao listened and thought it was true. The girl hadn’t played properly since arriving. He thought for a moment. "From tomorrow, Monday to Saturday, follow me to Beijing Hospital. Sunday is your day off."
Hehe, as expected of Old Man Yao. He had already scheduled it all.
Zhu Yanyi had to hang her head and agree. That evening, she told Zhu ShunYao and Cheng Baokun about this. She also told Zhang Haifeng to take Zhu ShunYao and Cheng Baokun to see Old Man Zhan the next evening. Even though Zhu Yanyi was reluctant and wanted to go out to play, she still listened to her master. So, she got up early the next morning, cooked porridge and pastries for breakfast, put the porridge into a thermos, and went to Beijing Hospital to find Old Man Yao.
The agreed time with Old Man Yao was 7:30. Sure enough, Old Man Yao appeared at the entrance of Beijing Hospital at 7:25. Zhu Yanyi handed her the thermos directly. "Mushroom and preserved egg porridge. I made buckwheat steamed buns for your breakfast."
Old Man Yao nodded, looked at the thermos, and smiled kindly. "I knew you would bring it, so I really didn’t eat breakfast."
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head and looked at the old man. "Grandpa Yao, I think in the five years we haven’t seen each other, you have become very playful. That is not right."
Old Man Yao smiled and argued, "This is called staying young."
Zhu Yanyi thought her eloquence was not bad, but at this moment, she found she was no match for Old Man Yao. Forget it, she comforted herself, treating it as respecting the elderly.
Old Man Yao took Zhu Yanyi to her exclusive practice chamber. Old Man Yao was the Honorary Dean of Beijing Hospital. Although she was not the real dean, her name equated to her status. With her name there, her status was naturally established. So, she naturally had her own practice chamber. Besides, the dean of Beijing Hospital was Gu JingTian, Old Man Yao’s eldest disciple. The disciple respected her master. What was wrong with specially opening an practice chamber for her? Even if others had objections, they had to hold them in.
