Chapter 1095 The girl is beautiful, the boy is handsome
Tang Ying smiled, "Actually, the most fundamental reason why I agreed to keep Xiao Shitou is that I saw a change in Chongyang! You may not have asked Chongyang to study hard, but the influence you had on him gave him intrinsic motivation to study!"
"Look at Nuannuan again. She's a young lady now, and she speaks so eloquently. Not only are her grades excellent, but she's also very considerate in her dealings with others! A child like her will do well in any industry after entering society!"
When Liu Meilan heard her sister-in-law say this, she thought of Tang Xiaoyu's previous complaints to her.
The company hired a new person, and she's a young girl.
At first, I thought she was honest, so I didn't pay much attention. She agreed to the things I asked her to do, but she didn't do any of them.
When asked later, the female employee said she didn't know and didn't understand.
Then the staff member asked her, "Since you don't know how, why don't you ask?"
The female employee fell silent again. The staff could only tell her, "Ask if you don't understand." But she still didn't ask.
As a new employee, especially a young person just entering the workforce, no one expects you to be perfect in every aspect of your life and work.
If you make a mistake, you will definitely be criticized, but at least the other party pointed out the error, and correcting it is progress.
But she does nothing, just says "I don't know" and doesn't ask questions, waiting for the boss to ask her what she doesn't know so that he can teach her step by step.
Who can bear this?
This is work, this is the workplace, not the time when teachers and parents force knowledge into children's heads when they are in school.
After careful consideration, the female employee was dismissed.
Although he had only been there for half a month, Tang Xiaoyu approved it and gave him half a month's salary.
If you say she's stupid, she's still a college graduate; if you say she's not stupid, her mouth becomes like a sawed gourd when it comes to work.
Being the first to eat and the first to leave work is understandable, but you haven't done any of your job duties, and then you say you don't know how or don't understand, and then you pass it on to your boss or colleagues.
Who could stand that?
When Tang Xiaoyu complained to Liu Meilan, she said she had never seen anyone like this before.
Liu Meilan used to think that strong ability was enough, but she gradually realized in her work that while strong ability is good, if you don't know how to conduct yourself and handle things, you often won't get the rewards or recognition that correspond to your efforts.
Some people gain recognition that even exceeds their actual achievements because they are good at interpersonal relationships and work.
Of course, being cunning and only concerned with flattery is not good for a company, but it also illustrates the importance of initiative in the workplace.
If you don't learn and take the initiative, no one will teach you.
Liu Meilan understood Tang Ying's meaning and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister-in-law! Little Stone will definitely develop in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor! I can guarantee you that when Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law have children in the future, when they reach school age, they will also send their children over."
Tang Ying laughed, "Actually, there's another reason I sent Xiao Shitou over. I work at a hospital, and my conditions are pretty good! But even after using the Seven White Pearl series of products for so many years, I'm still not that fair! Not to mention before I used these cosmetics, I was really dark-skinned! Your older brother is out leading troops all day, and he's like a black iron egg. He's only two years older than Yiwen, but he looks seven or eight years older!"
"This is even after Yi'an's appearance has fully developed. Different environments nurture different people. Children who grow up there may indeed be stronger, but in terms of handsomeness... they just fall short! But after I came to Sifang Island, I feel like there are no ugly people on the island! At most, they are of average appearance, but there are more people with outstanding appearances!"
"Especially the younger generation. When your older brother and I visited the schools on Sifang Island, whether it was primary or junior high school, the children were all as slender as onions, tall and straight, with fair skin and good bone structure. The girls were beautiful and the boys were handsome! They were very pleasing to the eye at first glance."
Liu Meilan knew the reason, of course, and was secretly delighted. "Many people have praised our Sifang Island for its outstanding people and beautiful scenery! Even Fu Chen's grandparents, after staying here for more than two months, feel that their health is better than before! If it weren't for the many social engagements during the New Year, the old couple wouldn't want to go back! They even said they would come again next year!"
Tang Ying smiled happily, "Your older brother often talks to me about how he wants to retire and live out his days on the island! At the time, I thought he wanted to return to his roots, but now it seems that's not the case. Life on this island is indeed very pleasant. Every breath of air feels full of life!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "You're still a long way from retirement, but it would be nice if you came back later! I'm also planning to rebuild the house into a three-story building so we'll have more living space."
Tang Ying nodded, "Your brother and I will transfer the money to you later!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Meilan quickly waved her hand, "Sister-in-law, do you think I need your and my brother's money to build my house?"
Hearing this, Tang Ying shook her head and chuckled, "I know you're rich, but your brother and I have saved most of our salaries, and we have quite a bit left over! Besides, it's for building a house! If we don't contribute, given your brother's arrogant nature, do you think he'd feel comfortable living there?"
Liu Meilan was taken aback. "Sister-in-law, if that's how you put it, then I'll have to accept the money! But you're sponsoring so many children, so a token amount is fine. Don't make yourselves tighten your belts with your brother just to get a little more; that's pointless!"
Tang Ying laughed, "I know! Your older brother doesn't like to take advantage of others, but I do! I will definitely act within my means and won't live a life of poverty!"
“That’s right!” Liu Meilan smiled with satisfaction. “Being able to be siblings in this life, and to be sisters-in-law, is a blessing we’ve accumulated over countless lifetimes! We may have disagreements about some ideas or ways of doing things, but we absolutely cannot quarrel over money! That goes against my purpose of making money.”
Hearing this, Tang Ying felt a warmth in her heart and finally understood why her grandparents and in-laws liked Liu Meilan so much.
Even among her three sons, Liu Meilan ranked after them in terms of overall perspective and sense of family responsibility.
Tang Ying now understands and fully agrees.
With Liu Meilan around, Tang Ying felt much more at ease leaving Xiao Shitou on the island.
Tang Ying felt she lacked the confidence to raise her children well, but she believed in her mother-in-law's parenting style, which would raise four outstanding children.
The Liu family has a truly wonderful family atmosphere. Growing up in such an environment helps children develop a sense of national pride and fosters strong bonds with their third-generation siblings.
This is something parents cannot provide.
She and her husband will eventually leave their child, but Little Stone will have younger siblings to help each other and won't be lonely.
