Chapter 586 The Bearded Dad
Chapter 586 The Bearded Dad
That day, in the company, the director called Hiroshi and Kawaguchi over. Although Hiroshi was promoted to a higher level last time, he was still under the director's management.
"Minister, what do you want to tell us?" Guangzhi asked the minister in front of him with a serious look.
"Well, I would like to hand over the Tuchubei products business to you two." The minister did not waste any words and went straight to the point after looking at the two of them.
"Is Tochube Commodities that big company?" Guangzhi was stunned for a moment, then immediately thought of a company and asked tentatively.
"Yes." The minister nodded.
"Oh, that's great, senior!" Kawaguchi was extremely excited upon hearing that.
"But why are you looking for us?" Guangzhi asked calmly.
"Actually, if we want to get their order, we have to meet certain conditions they set first." The minister said seriously.
"Conditions?" The two were stunned and their expressions suddenly became nervous.
"That is, you have to grow your beard into a full beard!" The minister looked at the two of them and said with a complicated expression.
"Ah?" The two were stunned. What a strange condition.
"The president of Dodome Bussan is a fan of beards. Not only does he require all male employees to have beards, but he is also only willing to do business with sales personnel with beards." The minister took out photos of their company's personnel and showed them to the two of them, then continued.
"..." The two of them twitched their lips. What a weird reason.
"You were chosen to do this because you are in your prime and it is easy for you to grow your beards long. The transaction will be in a month. Wait until your beards grow long enough, then go meet him!" The minister looked at the two of them seriously and said.
"A month later?" The two looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Listen carefully, this is the company's order. If you succeed, you will be given an allowance for growing beards!" The minister looked at the two of them and threw another sweet date to them. Hearing this, the two of them suddenly became a little excited.
So they took on the task, said goodbye to the minister temporarily, and went to the rooftop to discuss it.
"What should I do? Senior, can I grow my beard that long?" Kawaguchi asked worriedly.
"Why do you say such discouraging words? Responding to the company's expectations is the responsibility of us office workers!" Guangzhi said righteously.
"But.."
"Don't worry, if anything happens, I will leave twice as much for you!" Looking at Kawaguchi's worried look, Hiroshi said again.
"Senior!" Kawaguchi looked at Hiroshi excitedly. At this moment, Hiroshi seemed to be radiant.
So, after finishing today's task, Guangzhi returned home and told his family the news.
"So, that's it. So starting from today for a month, I have to grow my beard longer." Guangzhi looked at his family seriously and said.
"That's really hard work, but if you get an order from a big company, you'll have a chance to get promoted again, right?" Misae asked Hiroshi.
"The probability should be low. After all, Dad just got promoted not long ago." Mingxu shook his head.
"There is a certain chance. Xiaokui also cheers for the baby and hopes he grows a beard!" Meiya held Xiaokui in front of Guangzhi. However, Xiaokui thought of Guangzhi's bearded face and immediately danced with dissatisfaction, not wanting Guangzhi to touch her.
"Ah, will Dad become great just by growing a beard?" Shin-chan asked puzzledly.
"It's just a possibility." Guangzhi responded.
"Speaking of this, the rich king we see on TV also has a very long beard." Shin-chan thought for a moment and said.
Everyone thought of the appearance of those people, and the image of beards growing on their faces emerged in their minds. Mingxu's mouth twitched and thought, forget it, this look is too ugly.
"Okay! Then I want to grow a beard too!" Xiao Xin stood up and put his hands on the table.
"You don't have a beard." Mingxu complained.
"Oh, what about here?" he said, looking down.
"Oh, there's nothing over there!" After a slap, Xiaoxin immediately became obedient.
After finishing his meal, Guangzhi washed up and went to bed without caring about his beard. When he got up in the morning, he went to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. He saw that he had some stubble from the night before, so he subconsciously picked up the razor to shave his beard.
Looking at the razor in his hand, Guangzhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted.
"Oops, that was almost enough. I should put this away." He put the razor into the drawer. He wouldn't need it for the time being.
As time went by, Guangzhi's beard grew longer and longer. A week later, Guangzhi looked at himself in the mirror.
"Although it has grown a lot longer, it's still not enough." Looking at the beard on his face, Guangzhi felt a little worried.
"Pull~" Shin-chan shot at Hiroshi with a water gun, and then took out a flashlight to shine on him.
"What are you doing?" Guangzhi asked Xiaoxin speechlessly.
"I think he wants the plants to grow with water, and the beard should be the same." Mingxu shrugged as he stood aside.
"As long as it is watered and exposed to light, it will grow quickly. This is the method that Fengjian told me!" Xiaoxin nodded.
"..I think he should have emphasized plants." Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin helplessly.
"What's the difference between a beard and a plant!"
"There's a huge difference!" Guangzhi retorted.
After finishing breakfast and changing his clothes, he prepared to go out to work. However, Mei Ya did not stand at the entrance to see him off as usual. Instead, she stood at the door of the living room holding Xiao Kui.
"Then I'm going to go out. I think it's too far away."
"Xiao Kui doesn't want to get too close. She seems to be afraid of beards." Mei Ya said a little embarrassedly.
"Ah? Well, let's leave it this way for now." Guangzhi sighed, shook his head and went to work.
"Dad, this is a bit pitiful." Mingxu said as he looked at Guangzhi's lost expression.
"There's nothing we can do, Xiaokui is really scared..." Meiya also sighed.
"Hold on, Dad!" Xiaoxin shouted from the side.
"Okay, let's do this for now. Hurry up, the stroller is coming!" Meiya shouted, looking at the two of them.
"Good~"
On the other side, Guangzhi came to the company, looked at the time, and sighed silently.
"There are still three weeks left..."
"Good morning, senior." Kawaguchi came over and greeted him. His face was not covered with stubble like Hiroshi's. He had some, but not much.
"Hello." Guangzhi said perfunctorily.
"Oh, you are worthy of being a senior. Your beard is so long. I can't grow it long at all. I envy you so much." Looking at Hiroshi's beard, Kawaguchi immediately complimented him.
“What’s there to envy?” Guangzhi shook his head and sighed silently in his heart. The child was no longer close to him. . .
Time continued to pass, and another week passed in the blink of an eye.
"I'm going out." Guangzhi's beard had grown longer, but when he looked at Meiya, who was now curled up in the kitchen with only her head sticking out, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Be careful on the road."
"Just show your face..."
"But if I get one step closer..." Meiya took a tentative step forward.
"Oh!" Xiaokui screamed immediately.
“Okay, I get it…” With tears in his heart, Guangzhi walked out of the house. The harm caused to him by Hu Zi was so great…
When he arrived at the company, Guangzhi came in front of the director and showed his beard.
"How is it? I feel like my beard has grown long enough." He really didn't want to stay any longer...
"No, it's not long enough. Your beards are related to the future of our Futaba Trading Company. You must work hard to grow them longer." The minister continued.
"That's right! Senior, I only have such a small beard, it's so embarrassing!" Kawaguchi came over and echoed the minister's words. The beard on his face was completely different from Hiroshi's!
"I understand..." Guangzhi lowered his head and sighed. There was no other way, he had to stay.
After returning home, I ate ramen tonight, but if I wasn’t careful, I would easily suck the beard into my mouth. It felt so uncomfortable.
"Besides, Xiaokui, she doesn't even look me in the eye now." Compared to eating, Guangzhi felt more uncomfortable with his daughter's attitude towards him. . .
"Dad, just shave it if you can't. I don't think it's necessary..." Mingxu looked at Guangzhi and said helplessly, this beard is really long.
"Well, leave it to me." Xiaoxin looked at Xiaokui and immediately had an idea.
"What are you doing?" Looking at Shin-chan hanging jewelry on his beard, Hiroshi was speechless. What does he think of his beard?
"I think this is to use Xiaokui's interests to attract her..." Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin's actions and immediately understood, and said speechlessly.
"Look, Xiaokui, it's a gem tree."
"Ah!" Xiaokui looked at Guangzhi happily and completely ignored the beard.
"Is this acceptable?" Guangzhi sighed.
As time went on, one day, Guangzhi, whose beard had grown very long, came to the minister and asked, "Minister, what do you think?"
"Well! You two did a great job. This beard will not be embarrassed no matter where it goes. I will contact Dodekai Bussan immediately and visit them tomorrow!" Looking at the two men's beards, especially Hiroshi's, the minister said with satisfaction.
"Great!" The two said excitedly, it was finally almost over.
When he got home in the evening, Guangzhi looked at his beard and wondered, should he trim it to make it look better?
"I'm going to go tomorrow. I think if I trim the length a little on the left and right, it might look better." Guangzhi took out a razor and tried it on his face.
"Dad, are you going to sign a contract with this company?" Mingxu asked, holding a newspaper.
"Oh, yes, it's this minister. What's the news?!" Guangzhi looked at the information in the newspaper and got so excited that his hand slipped and a large chunk of his beard was shaved off.
"Oh! That's terrible..."
"It's okay. Everyone has gone in. Everyone in their company has shaved their heads. You should shave yours too. I'm sure it won't affect you." Mingxu said, patting his chest.
"That's the only way." Looking at his beard, Guangzhi nodded silently.
So, when he came to the company the next day, Guangzhi's face was already bald and the beard had completely disappeared.
"Senior, good morning. Ah! What's wrong with your face?" Kawaguchi was shocked when he saw Hiroshi's face and shouted, "What do you mean by this? We both worked so hard to keep our hair so long!"
"Calm down." Guangzhi rolled his eyes at him.
"Yes, Kawaguchi, calm down first. Nohara, you are amazing. I didn't expect that the bearded president would be replaced so soon. The company has also adjusted its business policy. I heard that employees don't have to grow beards anymore. Nohara, you shaved your beard after reading this report, right?" The director looked at Hiroshi and asked.
"Yes, that's right, that's it." Guangzhi looked at the minister and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that what Xiaoxu said was quite right. . .
"As expected of you, Senior!" Kawaguchi immediately complimented.
"It's nothing big." Guangzhi waved his hand.
"Okay, Nohara, you don't have to be so humble."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Everyone laughed together.
