An even more impatient voice came from the other end of the phone, "Why so many whys? Little girl, I'm kindly telling you to stay away from Chu Chuanbei. He's not some proper young master, just an adopted son. Do you think the Chu family's fortune will be left to him? Impossible! Don't call him again. I'm too lazy to explain any more to you!"
Chu Xuan’s first reaction was that the person on the other end of the phone was not on good terms with Chu Chuanbei.
After hanging up the phone, she hesitated for a moment, picked up the phone again, and this time called Chu Zhenlin directly.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hello, Mr. Chu! I'm Chu Xuan from the South Fishing Village Grilled Fish Fillet Factory."
Chu Zhenlin's serious voice came, "It's you! What's the matter?"
"Our factory has released a new canned fish product. How about sending you some samples to try and give us your feedback?"
Chu Xuan spoke politely, not using Chu Chuanbei's case to ask for a favor. Chu Zhenlin let down his guard, "No problem. Send it to me! Please write down the address..."
Chu Xuan quickly wrote down the address, and before Chu Zhenlin was about to hang up, he hurriedly asked, "Uncle Chu, after finishing our business, I want to talk to you about something personal."
Chu Zhenlin couldn't help but chuckle at the change of address. "You really do distinguish between public and private matters! Tell me!"
"Is Chu Chuanbei still in Hai City?"
"No. He's currently at my friend's place in Beijing. I've arranged for him to go abroad, and he's waiting for the paperwork there."
"None of your relatives can tolerate him?"
"It's not that we can't tolerate it, it's just that the words are a bit harsh. Chuanbei doesn't want to become a target of public criticism. It would be beneficial for him to study abroad."
"I see. Thank you for telling me this. If you can get in touch with him, could you please have him call me back?"
"no problem."
An hour later, Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze sent out canned fish respectively.
Just as I was about to leave, I met Wei Qiang who was on patrol.
Mu Chenze took the initiative to say hello. When he was at home, his wife had already told him about how Wei Qiang saved her.
"Comrade Wei, thank you for saving my wife again."
Wei Qiang smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome, this is my job. By the way, I heard that the employer of those three bad guys has been found out. It's neither Chu Tian nor Fang Tianjiao, but Chu Tian's eldest brother Chu Jing. He wanted to get the information of Chu Tian and his wife effortlessly, but he didn't expect to run into a tough opponent. Chu Jing's brains aren't very bright, and the people he hired aren't very smart either. This time, your wife and I were lucky to catch them unscathed. Next time, if we change the employer, we may not be so lucky."
Mu Chenze understood what Wei Qiang meant, "I will be more vigilant."
"That's good. Let's go!"
Wei Qiang waved his hand and continued patrolling.
Mu Chenze rode a tricycle carrying Chu Xuan towards the department store.
I bought two pieces of cloth.
I also bought some eggs and other nutritional supplements from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Go to the town to visit Wei Qiang's old mother.
Wei's mother refused to accept them, and the two of them insisted on putting down the things before leaving.
After returning to the village, they continued to develop seaweed rolls.
Qin Mahua is not at home. She is currently teaching people how to make crispy fish in the village factory.
The shareholding and dividend agreement has been signed, and Qin Mahua is responsible for training a few apprentices.
Wang Depin has contacted the can packaging production line manufacturer.
When the factory was first built, an extra workshop was built, which was just right for accommodating the new production line.
However, it will take at least a month to complete the installation.
Fortunately, the contract he signed with Mr. Gu stipulated delivery within three months, so he had enough time.
At around 3:00 p.m., a voice came from the village office's loudspeaker, "Chu Xuan, go to the village office to answer the phone."
The villagers couldn't help but tease, "Let's have a ranking for answering the phone. I think Chu Xuan will be ranked first."
"That's right. Chu Xuan is first, Mu Chenze is second. And the salesperson from the village factory is third..."
On the way, Chu Xuan heard everyone's discussion, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he said good-naturedly, "The more calls I answer, the more business our village factory is getting. The factory is doing well, and as a villager, I'm sure I'll benefit from it in the future."
Everyone wants to take advantage of the situation, "Then we all hope that you will go to the village office more often to answer the phone."
Some gossipy people went straight to Wang Depin and asked him what benefits they, as villagers, could gain from the factory's future profits.
Wang Depin had thought about this problem a long time ago. The village-run factory used the village’s collective land, and in the future he could distribute materials or money to the villagers.
After just a few words of advice, the villagers left satisfied.
Not long after Chu Xuan arrived at the village office, the phone rang.
Answer the call.
"Hello……"
Chu Chuanbei's voice came from the phone, "Chu Xuan, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"You changed places, but you didn't even bother to call me and tell me? You made me get scolded by someone again."
"You mean Chu Yu? He's in charge of answering the phone at the company. He doesn't get along with me and hates me to bits."
"Why does he hate you?"
"If I weren't there, he could have been adopted by my father as his son. He's just coveting the money my father has. He sees me as a stumbling block. You haven't told me yet, what do you want from me today?"
"I was hoping to get your father's company to pre-order the new canned fish from our village factory through you, but you weren't there. So I called your father's office number directly."
"You don't need to go through me in the future. Just contact my dad directly. As long as the quality of the products from your village factory is guaranteed, he will definitely order your goods."
"Okay. Which country do you plan to study in?"
"Country A."
"My mom and the others are over there. I'll give you their contact information and address. Find my mom when you get there."
"Very good!"
Chu Xuan told Chu Chuanbei Tian Xiaoyun's address, and he wrote it down carefully.
After returning to Mu Chenze, he told him the details of the call.
Mu Chenze couldn't help but sigh, "Setbacks can really change a person. Chu Chuanbei was determined not to go abroad at first, saying he didn't know foreign languages and didn't like studying. But after the experience of falling into the sea, his mindset changed quickly."
"Yes! He knows how to seize opportunities. If he misses this chance, he might really have to stay in Hai City for the rest of his life under Chu Zhenlin's protection."
…
Time flies, and it’s mid-January in the blink of an eye.
There is an exam at the cram school tonight.
Fu Qing, Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze concentrated on reviewing their lessons at home.
The content to be tested today is the first-year high school course.
Mu Chenze is a good student and is responsible for explaining the questions to Chu Xuan and Fu Ping.
Chu Xuan could understand.
Fu Qing didn't understand at all and was so anxious that she burst into tears.
"I feel like all my cram school lessons were wasted. I've already given back everything I learned to the teacher. How am I going to take the college entrance exam next year?"
Chu Xuan handed her a handkerchief and held his chin with both hands. "I feel like I've been going to high school for nothing. The first-year courses are so difficult. I definitely won't pass the exam next year."
She and Fu Qing didn't finish junior high school, and they relied entirely on self-study recently, so they found it very difficult to keep up with the high school courses.
Mu Chenze comforted her, "Calm down and learn as much as you can. It's not mandatory for both of you to get into university during the college entrance exam next year. Relax and don't overthink it!"
Qin Mahua came in with a plate of cut fruit, "Xiao Ze is right, learn easily and take your time!"
After putting down the fruit plate, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Mu Chenze saw that his mother had something to say.
"Mom, do you have something important to announce?"
Qin Mahua looked apologetic and said, "It's not a big deal. I'll tell you when your father and eldest brother come back."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Fu Qing whispered to Chu Xuan, "Mom, are you going to admit your mistake? It's about lending money to uncle."
Chu Xuan gently rubbed his temples, thinking of what happened today in his previous life, and shook his head gently, "Probably not. We'll know when our father and eldest brother come back. Be patient and wait! Read the book first."
Fu Qing patted the book a few times and sighed, "Okay! Continue reading."
