Chapter 656: Frog in Warm Water
Qin Qiao slept until noon, washed up simply, ordered some takeout, and just finished eating when she heard the door open.
"Why are you back at this time, Xiao An?"
"Of course I'm moving for you. I've already found a house and you can move in now."
Qin Qiao was confused. "Ah, this, this is too fast. I haven't cleaned up yet. The house is a mess."
"Don't worry, I've found someone. Just change your clothes and someone will come to pack for you."
"not me...."
"What's not, listening to men is a good thing."
Qin Qiao rolled her eyes. This guy was really chauvinistic. He didn't even give her a chance to refute.
Seeing that Qin Qiao went to change clothes, Chen An called the housekeeper to come upstairs.
The four older sisters and aunties who worked as housekeepers cleaned up very quickly. They packed things up quickly and cleaned the entire room inside and out.
Qin Qiao also found time to call the landlord over. The rent for this house was originally due in more than a month, but because they moved out early, Chen An did not ask them to refund the rent, and there was not much money left.
Sun Nan was looking for a place to stay in Longyuan Community near his company. The two-bedroom apartments here are around 70 to 100 square meters. He rented a two-bedroom apartment of more than 80 square meters. The furniture was very complete and he could move in directly after a simple cleaning.

With Mrs. Wang's recommendation, Xu Ziyan was arranged into the kindergarten yesterday with the recommendation letter and application form.
When entering the kindergarten yesterday, according to tradition all parents had to make cupcakes by hand and give them to all the children, and get to know them at the same time. Gu Jia was very good at this, and the cupcakes she made were liked by all the children.
As the chairperson of the Parent-Teacher Association, Muzi's mother directly invited her to help with the food party today.
When Gu Jia first entered the park, she had no idea of the situation. Seeing that the other party was quite strong and acted as if she was the only one who could do what she wanted, she temporarily agreed.
After careful preparation, she immediately received praise from the parents of all the children in the class. The teachers in the kindergarten knew that she was recommended by Mrs. Wang, and they also flattered her. Gu Jia once again deeply realized the benefits of having connections.
As for Muzi's mother, she felt more or less unhappy when she saw that her limelight was stolen.
It happened that at this moment, a child suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed, and the scene was in chaos. The children had never seen such a scene before and were frightened. In fact, not to mention the children, even the adults were shocked.
After this incident, the food party naturally could not go on, and the children were also frightened and could only go home to be comforted by their parents.
Gu Jia returned home and finally coaxed her son to sleep, but something happened at the company again. Xu Huanshan didn't know what was going on, so he started a fight with General Manager Wan in the company. Gu Jia felt overwhelmed.
When she arrived at the company, she saw many employees gathered outside the conference room watching. Gu Jia couldn't help feeling helpless. Mr. Wan was a major client of the company and accounted for almost half of the company's business. These employees had worked so hard for so long, and suddenly the boss had a quarrel with a client. It was easy for them to panic.
After calming them down and dispersing the crowd, Gu Jia walked into the conference room, looked at the design drawings on the table and the floor, picked up the things silently, and asked in a gentle tone, "Huanshan, why did you fight with President Wan?"
"I've had enough of him. There's no limit to the cost of oppression." Xu Huanshan's face was gloomy and unhappy, especially when he heard Gu Jia's gentle tone, he felt very annoyed. Every time something happened, she did this, completely treating him like a child.
“Or is it because the cost of environmentally friendly materials is too high?”
"Not only that, he asked me if I had any fireworks that were about to expire, or had just expired, that I didn't need to destroy and could leave for him to use. The solution I designed was like making dumplings and feeding pigs to such a person, wasn't it?"
"You keep telling me there are problems with the plan. Isn't it because of money?"
"Sometimes I wonder whether opening this company has brought me closer to my dream or further away from it. In the past, I was only responsible for designing and planning. No matter how imaginative I was, at least I felt that I was still an artist."
"But now, every time I come up with a new plan, the first thing waiting for me to say is always how much it will cost and how much profit it will make. It's boring, so boring." After venting his emotions, he slapped the plan on the table and turned to walk towards the office.
"I know you don't like to talk about these things. How about this? I'll go talk to Lao Wan." Gu Jia hurriedly followed because she realized that Xu Huanshan was really angry this time. Both his family and the company needed Lao Wan as a client.
"You are not allowed to go. Gu Jia, I am telling you, I will never compromise this time. If I were still the one who makes the final decision in this company, I would give up this bastard's order..."
Gu Jia knew her man's character too well. He had the aloofness of an artist. She knew that things would be difficult this time, so she poured him a glass of water and walked over, "Huanshan, drink some water to calm down."
At this moment, Xu Huanshan's mind was filled with the words "I feel it's not worth it for you", and he couldn't hear anything else.
"I know Lao Wan is not a very good customer, but I have to admit that the orders he gives us account for 50% of our annual profit. He is definitely a big customer."
"That's why I've been so tolerant again and again. Gu Jia, have you ever thought that every time we take a step back, he will push his luck even further? Have you ever thought about how big a hidden danger there is from fireworks that have expired and not been destroyed? If anything goes wrong, who will take the blame?"
"Expired fireworks are definitely not acceptable, but without Lao Wan's order, the company's capital chain will be broken next month."
Xu Huanshan felt a little disappointed. He didn't understand why outsiders would feel sorry for his work, but the woman who once admired him the most was now thinking about the company. "Gu Jia, I just want to ask you one question. Have you ever felt that my work was not worth it, even a little bit?"
Gu Jia looked at Xu Huanshan who stood up and left, feeling helpless. Once a person gets stuck in a dead end, it is extremely difficult to persuade him. She could only find a way to solve the problem by herself.
Although Xu Huanshan was angry, he had actually been paying attention to Gu Jia's actions. When he saw her going out with her cell phone, he had already guessed what she was going to do and had no intention of stopping her.
Xu Huanshan felt a little tired. Ever since he started the company, he felt that he was far away from his dream, like a frog in warm water. He knew that he would lose a lot if he continued like this, but he was pressured by the countless mouths in the company and the responsibilities of his family, so he had to bow his head and bend over.
What he needed was not Gu Jia telling him how important this client was, but even just a word of encouragement and acknowledgment, even just a sentence saying, "I understand your pressure, I understand your unwillingness, let's endure it for now, there will definitely be opportunities in the future to showcase your talents."
Unfortunately, there was none. I don’t know since when, the only things they communicated about, apart from family matters and business issues, were no longer suitable for the fields far away, but only a pile of compromises in front of them.
