Chapter 1283 Recruiting Talents

Zhang Xiufang had a meal with Hu Jian, and after instructing the caregiver to take all of Hu Jian's clothes away to wash them, she told him to do so.

She arrived full of energy, but now that Zhang Xiufang has gone home, she looks dejected.

Before it got dark, Liu Meilan and Grandpa Liu were strolling around the courtyard of Zhang Xiufang and Hu Jian's new house.

Although the renovation is complete, the yard still needs some flowers and plants, as well as some convenient facilities.

These are all details of life. Zhang Xiufang is currently pregnant, but she also has to work, take care of Hu Jian, and look after her two children, so she has very little energy to devote to the house.

Grandpa Liu pointed to a corner of the yard: "We should install a tap here, directly connected to the sewer! That way, cleaning all kinds of food, especially fish and meat, will be cleaner when we do it outside!"

“Okay, I’ll write it down!” Liu Meilan nodded. “Let’s put a stone table here. Although it’s a bit hot in the summer, it’s more comfortable to eat in the courtyard than inside the house at other times!”

"Okay!" And so the grandfather and grandson began planning the details of the courtyard.

When Liu Meilan saw Zhang Xiufang return dejectedly, she waved and greeted her, "Sister Xiufang, come and take a look at this courtyard. Is this arrangement alright?"

Upon hearing Liu Meilan's voice, Zhang Xiufang's face lit up with a smile, and she quickened her pace.

"Slow down, don't rush!" Old Master Liu couldn't help but remind Zhang Xiufang as she strode over, "You're pregnant, can't you walk a little slower?"

Zhang Xiufang indeed slowed down and walked over, peering at Liu Meilan's notes. Many details were carefully considered.

"Wow, this is such a great place to build a pond! The fish tank at home is pretty good, but if we build one outside, it will look especially beautiful!"

Liu Meilan responded, "Okay, I'll arrange everything for you! Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Zhang Xiufang looked at it carefully and shook her head: "This is already very comprehensive, I have nothing to add! Thank you Meilan, thank you Grandpa!"

"No need to thank me, it's my pleasure!" Old Master Liu waved his hand. "You looked worried just now, what's wrong? Did you run into trouble in Fujian?"

Zhang Xiufang hesitated for a moment: "I have encountered some trouble, but Hu Jian told me not to tell him. However, I don't want him to worry about how we will support our family in the future!"

"Is there a problem with Hu Jian's work?" Liu Meilan asked in surprise. "Sister Xiufang, you can speak your mind! Even if Hu Jian doesn't want you to, you can still speak if you want to! Problems can't be solved by keeping them bottled up."

Grandpa Liu encouraged her, "Xiufang, you two have both suffered hardships. Now that you've formed a family, you'll soon be a family of five. This is precisely the time when you need outside help. If we can help others, why can't we help you and Hujian? Don't be stubborn, and don't feel like you're troubling us! I'd be happy if you bothered me!"

Zhang Xiufang then revealed that Hu Jian's superior had been transferred, and that the new superior had a past conflict with him and the two didn't get along: Hu Jian would need to recuperate until at least the New Year, and by the time he returned, his work would likely have been replaced. Although the new superior couldn't demote Hu Jian, he could assign him some very difficult tasks.

Upon hearing this, Liu Meilan burst into laughter: "I thought it was something serious! Actually, I'd love for Hu Jian to continue being ostracized and fired by his company, so he wouldn't have to work there anymore! He could quit his job at the state-owned enterprise and come help me here!"

“Look, my business invests all over the country, and I often need to travel for work! I’m a homebody and don’t want to travel back and forth at all! Hu Jian has strong organizational, management, and sales skills. If he came to work for me, I would not only give him a high salary, but also shares in the company!”

Hu Jian and Liu Meilan have a natural close relationship, and Hu Jian would not deceive Liu Meilan on many issues.

Grandpa Liu laughed: "Did you hear that? There are plenty of jobs in the family, what's there to worry about! When you see Hu Jian tomorrow, have a good talk with him! If his company doesn't value Hu Jian, it's their loss! Private companies in Meilan offer more freedom and higher salaries!"

Zhang Xiufang was so moved she didn't know what to say: "Meilan, is Fujian really suitable? If not, you must tell the truth!"

Liu Meilan raised an eyebrow and countered, "Sister Xiufang, putting aside your connections, let's just talk about Hu Jian—his ability to perform so well in his previous job is enough to prove his competence; his good friendship with Fu Chen and Ye Qiang proves his good character; as a veteran, he always knows that national interests come first, which ensures his political ideology is sound. Such a capable and outstanding person in his prime is exactly what I need!"

"If Hu Jian comes to work for me in the future, I will mostly delegate the internal affairs to Xiao Yu and the external affairs to Hu Jian! I will focus my main energy on identifying new technologies and choosing development directions, which will make my life easier!"

Of course, Old Master Liu knew Liu Meilan's abilities. Such a person with a long-term vision and profound thinking was suitable for grasping the big picture. If she were to be in charge of specific matters, it would only be a waste of time and energy, and not worth the effort.

"Xiufang, what Meilan said is true!" Grandpa Liu laughed. "With Fujian's help, Meilan might even have more time to go fishing at sea!"

Liu Meilan laughed heartily: "Grandpa, you've hit the nail on the head! I just want more time to fish. I'm really annoyed by all these tedious things every day, and I even get a bit irritable! Hu Jian can come and help me, and he can also have a job that allows him to showcase his abilities. It's a win-win situation."

Zhang Xiufang beamed with joy: "Then I'll go talk to Hu Jian right now and tell him to stop worrying! Don't think that just because their leader has powerful backers, he can bully people. Our family also has powerful backers and a way out!"

Seeing Zhang Xiufang turn her electric bike around and ride towards the hospital, Grandpa Liu and Liu Meilan both smiled.

Liu Meilan exclaimed, "It's like a pillow being delivered to me when I'm sleepy! I've been thinking about where to find a capable and trustworthy person to help me. Actually, I had thought of Hu Jian before, but his job is a government position, so I was too embarrassed to poach him!"

Grandpa Liu smiled: "Now that the other party doesn't appreciate Hu Jian's abilities, it's perfect to have him help you! I see you running around all the time, it's too hard on you. Fu Chen can't take care of his family, and if you're also frequently away on business trips, the children will be so pitiful, just waiting anxiously for their parents. It breaks my heart to see that."

In fact, Liu Meilan had been trying to find a suitable person, and Hu Jian's situation was a good thing for her. As long as Hu Jian was willing, he could come to work anytime after he recovered.
