Chapter 216 The Most Competent Father
Following that, Zhao Yuan further stated that the instructions he gave to Zhou Jiefang were exactly the same as the suggestions Wen Haifeng had made earlier—to choose a suitable time and arrange for Wen Haifeng to personally invite Wang Mazi and his accomplices to a sumptuous meal, which could be regarded as an act of making new friends.
After all, for these friends who are out in the world, the most important thing is to give them face.
As long as fundamental principles and bottom lines are not violated, giving them appropriate benefits can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Time flies, and years slip by unnoticed. Several years have quietly passed through our fingers.
Over the years, Zhaoyuan has been like a tireless bird, frequently shuttling between major cities and busily expanding its business empire.
With his keen market insight and decisive decision-making ability, he has continuously expanded his business and made it thrive.
Meanwhile, Lin Fangfang, who was at home, was determined to give birth to a son for Zhaoyuan in order to continue the family line.
However, things didn't go as planned. In 1984, the country began to implement the family planning policy, which made her wish even more difficult to fulfill.
This became a lifelong regret for Lin Fangfang.
Over the past few years, Zhao Yuan's "Zhao's Food Factory" has not continued to expand its scale, maintaining the number of four food factories unchanged.
It is worth mentioning, however, that although the size of the company has not changed, the food factory’s turnover has remained very stable, showing a good development trend.
At the same time, the "Zhaoshi Kitchen" brand has become well-known and widely recognized.
Behind all these achievements lies Zhou Jiefang's hard work and outstanding leadership skills.
As the person in charge of the "Zhaoshi Kitchen" brand, Zhou Jiefang has full control over the operation of the entire brand. Through careful planning and efficient execution, "Zhaoshi Kitchen" branches have sprung up all over the country.
Today, "Zhao's Kitchen" has become the preferred place for many successful people to make friends and conduct business negotiations.
In addition, Zhaoshi Group also owns a company called "Zhaoshi Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.", which is fully managed by Fu Jiaxing.
Interestingly, this real estate company always seems to follow in the footsteps of "Zhao's Kitchen"—whenever "Zhao's Kitchen" opens a new branch, "Zhao's Real Estate Development Co., Ltd." quickly follows up, launching acquisitions and establishing corresponding branches.
This closely integrated development model has undoubtedly brought about a win-win situation of mutual promotion and common prosperity for both companies.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Zhao Zhaodi is about to enter the senior year of high school, while Zhao Laidi has entered the junior year of junior high school to prepare for the high school entrance examination.
Seeing his two well-behaved and sensible daughters embark on their studies, Zhao Yuan, as their father, felt both gratified and filled with expectations for their future.
That same year, due to family factors and other reasons, Zhao Yuan almost completely stopped all work arrangements that required long-term business trips.
He only flies to the scene to handle important issues that require his personal intervention and must be resolved as soon as possible.
Once the mission was completed, he rushed back to the capital without stopping, just so he could spend more time with his family.
Senior year of high school is a crucial year for every student, as it determines the direction of their future life path.
However, what is worrying is that the senior year of high school is also the period when teenagers' emotions are most budding and they are most likely to fall into the vortex of early love.
Many girls who were originally high-achieving students were distracted by early romantic relationships during this crucial year, ultimately missing out on their ideal universities and failing to get into any of them.
Zhao Zhaodi's academic performance has always been among the best, consistently ranking among the top students in the entire grade.
But in those days, the university admission rate was extremely low, less than 10 percent.
With such fierce competition and limited spots, standing out is by no means easy.
As a father, Zhao Yuan had high hopes for his daughter, Zhao Zhaodi, and he hoped that she could be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University—two of the top universities in the country.
To achieve this goal, hard work alone is clearly not enough; we also need to put in more effort and sweat.
Therefore, in order to ensure that his daughter could concentrate on preparing for the exam, Zhao Yuan resolutely chose to stay in the capital.
Every day, Zhao Yuan would personally take Zhao Zhaodi to and from school.
Although Zhao Zhaodi was unwilling to let her father do this, feeling that she was already an adult and could go to and from school independently, Zhao Yuan insisted on his own opinion.
He claimed that he did this to help Zhao Zhaodi save precious time commuting to and from school, allowing her to devote more energy to her studies.
In reality, Zhao Yuan had another plan in mind: to prevent other boys from getting close to Zhao Zhaodi and avoid his daughter being disturbed by romantic problems.
Every time they sit in the car, the father and daughter use this short time to communicate.
Zhao Yuan would carefully inquire about Zhao Zhaodi's daily life at school, showing concern for her academic progress and living conditions.
At the same time, he would also cleverly use various methods to help his daughter relieve her tension and reduce the enormous pressure brought by the college entrance examination.
However, Zhao Yuan never talked about what he did; he simply watched over the children's growth without putting any pressure on Zhao Zhaodi.
You should know that Zhao Zhaodi is a true academic star! In every mock exam, she consistently ranks among the top students, achieving outstanding results.
To help his daughter improve her studies, Zhao Yuan carefully prepared a notebook for Zhao Zhaodi to record her mistakes.
Whenever Zhao Zhaodi finished an exam, Zhao Yuan would always take her exam paper immediately and carefully help her analyze it.
He would copy the questions he answered incorrectly into a notebook, noting the reason for the error and the correct solution.
After some time has passed, Zhao Yuan will bring out these wrong questions again and ask Zhao Zhaodi to answer them again in order to test whether she has truly grasped the problem-solving approach.
Seeing how dedicated Zhaoyuan was, his godmother Xu Shuhui couldn't contain her gratitude and admiration, and often couldn't help but praise him:
"Zhaoyuan, in my opinion, you are absolutely the most outstanding and responsible father in all of China! Look at you, the CEO of such a large company, willingly staying at home to help your children copy their homework. This is truly a blessing your children have accumulated in their past lives!"
Faced with his godmother's praise, Zhao Yuan would always smile slightly and respond humbly:
