1997
I don’t know if it was the students from the College of Humanities who did the publicity outside, saying that Jinshun Company’s winter vacation internships were particularly good, with a good salary, and that during the New Year, one could receive New Year gifts and participate in lotteries just like regular employees. So, before the end of this semester, many people went to Jinshun Company to ask if they were looking for winter vacation interns.
When Chu Qi reported these situations to her, she asked the human resources manager to handle it and hire if needed and not hire if not.
She didn’t make any special arrangements for her own students. She just gave them the information and let them register themselves.
Teacher He sighed and said, "The company is yours. You can arrange your own students as you wish. Your students won't have to worry about finding jobs in the future."
"I am their counselor, not their parents. Why should I make arrangements for them? Do I have to pay for my job to get a job?"
Chen Jin rolled his eyes at her and asked, "Zhou Ding has passed the accounting exam, have you passed it?"
Teacher He choked, smiled awkwardly, and pretended to be busy with his own things.
Zhou Ding quietly gave her a thumbs-up. When he went to the cafeteria after get off work in the afternoon, Zhou Ding shared the inside scoop with her:
"Didn't we completely cancel the graduation assignment this year? The leaders are now paying attention to the graduation destinations of the students. Teacher He is thinking about stuffing the students into your company."
"Let her think about it. She's just daydreaming all day long."
If students from Nanyang University are really determined, they would not be unable to enter even private enterprises. Those who need teachers to use their connections to get into the company either have incompetence or are just lazy.
Is it because she has too much money that she hires students like this into the company?
"I don't want to talk about her." Chen Jin asked gossipingly, "How is the progress between you and the female teacher in the Student Information Center?"
"What?"
"Tsk tsk." Chen Jin reminded him to touch his neck and face to see if they were red and hot.
"I saw you at the sports meet. Were you introduced by the organization? Or did you know each other on your own?"
Zhou Ding hesitated for a while before saying, "I met her at a party held by the school union. Well, we just started talking."
"Hey, do I have to get married before I can apply for housing from my employer? Wouldn't working couples have a higher chance of getting housing?"
"Yes. However, it is not easy to apply for it. You have to queue up. I don't even know how many people are in line in front of me. Now I am waiting for the company's house, so I might as well start saving money to buy a commercial house outside. I guess it will take me three years to get the company's housing allocation. Wait, you and Teacher Shen can't apply, right?"
"No application, I'm just asking. Curious."
Zhou Ding smiled teasingly and said "Oh", "Are you and Teacher Shen going to get married soon?"
Only then did Chen Jin realize that Zhou Ding's question was ambiguous.
"It's still early. Maybe you and your partner are faster than us."
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Shen Baichuan just caught up, and Zhou Ding very tactfully said that he would go ahead and not delay their leisurely walk.
As they walked, the two talked about inviting friends to their house for dinner this Saturday.
"Did you really borrow the chef from the old house? What did you say on the phone?"
"They called and said they didn't get it, so I went directly to the old house to get it." Shen Baichuan said, "I went there last night and caught up with them going crazy again. They said the old man wanted to change the contents of the will."
Chen Jin raised his eyebrows, "You really arrived just in time, or did you know about what happened last night and rush over specially?"
“I knew you would definitely see through it.” Shen Baichuan sighed and smiled, “I only knew about it an hour in advance.”
"What happened in the end? Did it really change?"
"It has been changed, but I don't know the specific content. Now they are facing each other again." Shen Baichuan chuckled and said, "My second uncle found out some news in Hong Kong. My second uncle has a son outside who is quite capable."
"Then these people won't come away empty-handed, right?" Chen Jin said, "No wonder the old man loves to mess around so much. He doesn't like anything and plans to mess around for a while before leaving the company to his grandson outside, right?"
"Well, it's very likely."
"Will you spread the news?"
"No, let them watch the fight." Shen Baichuan smiled and said, "Anyway, the old man won't give me more things, and I don't want to get involved in their affairs. It's better to stay and watch the fun. When the cousin outside is brought back one day, I will take you back to watch the fun."
Chen Jin's eyes lit up, "Okay, I can't miss such a big event."
After that, he urged Shen Baichuan to hurry up, to go to the stadium for a walk twice after dinner, and then go home.
"When you went out this afternoon, did you leave some food for Daju?"
"I left it there. I put it in the gazebo in the backyard. The door to the backyard at home is not closed."
"That's fine."
Chen Jin discovered that in recent days, when they came to the stadium for a walk, they often ran into their students, either her students or Shen Baichuan's students.
It would have been fine if they just met each other, but these students would have said hello and walked away, and would have looked back from time to time, as if they were watching the fun.
Many friends came on Saturday.
They knew that they would definitely make a fuss and say that the door to the backyard was opened. Shen Baichuan and Chen Jin watched them make a fuss and fought back when they got the chance.
One by one, everyone was asking when the TV show invested by Shang Jing and Yang Qian would be broadcast. It was confirmed that it would start on January 13, and everyone said they wanted to help promote it.
Chen Jin calculated in his mind that it wouldn’t be long, and it was very close to January now. Students start their winter vacation on January 10th, but their teachers have to stay for two more days, so the official vacation starts on the 13th.
She was lost in thought when Xie Ning suddenly came over to her and asked if Ling Yun had contacted her recently.
"Yes, we did. She said she couldn't come back for the New Year because she didn't have the holiday." Chen Jin thought for a moment and said, "You guys don't usually contact each other? Or are you embarrassed to tell me after you contacted each other?"
Xie Ning looked at her in confusion.
"It's impossible that Ling Yun only calls me every time, right? If you really want to ask, take the initiative to ask her next time she calls! You dare to follow us to get a beauty treatment, and you still don't dare to ask her?"
No wonder Brother Hua and the others said that Xie Ning and Ling Yun were so anxious, she looked anxious too.
Ling Yun called her and asked about Xie Ning's situation in a roundabout way, but how would Chen Jin know? !
She hasn't had dinner with everyone for a long time. She opened a company but was still as idle as ever. They were all so busy that they couldn't find anyone to go out for dinner with.
It took a long time to plan today's meal.
Xie Ning's porcelain-white skin slowly turned red, and she pursed her lips, "I'm afraid of disturbing her training."
"...Why don't you ask her next time? I think as long as the sky doesn't fall, no one can disturb her training."
"Yeah." Xie Ning sat aside silently again.
Chen Jin sighed silently, and went to the kitchen with Shen Baichuan to see how the chef was preparing. Then he whispered, "I think they are quite anxious."
Shen Baichuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry. Qin Yi and the others looked at us before and said they were anxious. You know your own business."
Oh, yes.
It took her and Shen Baichuan quite some time to get used to each other after they officially confirmed their relationship.
"Forget it. I'm not a matchmaker. Those who are meant to be together will naturally be together, and those who are not meant to be together cannot be forced."
Chen Jin walked into the kitchen and asked the chef in surprise, "What is the name of this dish?"
Shen Baichuan took a look, then turned around and went to the cabinet to find tea leaves, preparing to make milk tea himself.
When the weather started to get colder this year, Aunt Yang made hot milk tea for Chen Jin. After drinking it, he couldn't stop himself. He thought about drinking it every now and then, and sometimes he would put it in a thermos and bring it to school to drink.
It was quite simple, and he learned it after following it twice.
On a cold winter day, I eat and chat with friends around the table, and drink a sip of hot milk tea... Today's milk tea has a burnt smell...
When the others took a sip and began to frown, Chen Jinna had already taken a sip and said, "Not bad, you have made progress again this time, Teacher Shen. The burnt taste is much lighter."
The others looked at Shen Baichuan and Chen Jin silently, with condemnation in their eyes: “How dare you two do this? One said he could make milk tea, and the other said it tasted good?
Chen Jin tried hard to help Shen Baichuan make up for it, “Actually, once you get used to it, the slightly burnt taste is quite unique, you’ll find it delicious if you drink a little more.”
Everyone tried to take another sip, and finally put the cup aside tacitly.
"Don't waste it. I just saw the tea he took. That can is a bit expensive."
After saying that, he glared at Shen Baichuan: “If you come and waste my few tea leaves next time, you’ll be finished!
She kept it specifically for making milk tea for Aunt Yang!
Shen Baichuan silently looked away and called everyone to eat.
Although the milk tea made by Shen Baichuan was not very good, today's meal was nothing to complain about.
"Brother, where did you find this chef? The chefs in other restaurants are not of this standard."
"It was dug up from the old house and will have to be sent back later."
Qin Yi exclaimed in shock, "You are really amazing. You poached employees from the company and then went to the old house to poach the chef. No wonder Cheng Yanzong scolded you in the company."
"You can ask him to scold me in person some other day."
"He doesn't dare, and neither do I."
Qin Yi knew his own worth very well and would not compete with those Cheng guys for anything. Cheng Yanzong also knew that he couldn't argue with Shen Baichuan, so he would definitely not curse in front of Shen Baichuan.
After finishing the meal, Chen Jin said, "Speaking of which, can we go to a different house next time? Don't come to ours every time."
Everyone looks at each other. Either we still live at home and it is inconvenient to invite so many friends, or our house outside has nothing in it and is just a place to live, or the place is too small to accommodate so many friends.
Finally, everyone looked at Zhuo Jiyu and Yang Qian, and without asking for their opinions, they unanimously decided to go to their house next time.
It's almost 97 now, and the last time they gathered at Chen Jin's house was in 95.
This year has passed especially quickly. Maybe it's because everyone is busy.
The busiest ones are definitely Lin Xinran and Chen Lu. They still have half a year left before graduation, and they have papers, institutions, and night school classes to deal with. Moreover, this year, they have expanded outward and now have four campuses.
Chen Jin really admired the two of them. They had many disagreements, but despite all the quarrels, their business grew bigger and bigger.
Almost everyone who mentioned this year said that time passed particularly quickly this year.
Except for Qin Yi who has nothing to do, he is really idle. There is also Xie Ning, who said that this year has been slow, but he did not explain why.
But everyone understands. There was a period of time when everyone was watching the news and they were all very nervous. All kinds of noise outside are so loud and noisy that it is even more torturous.
"Sister Jin, we won't have to expand again next year, right?" Nie Rong changed the heavy topic that everyone knew was the key to the conversation and turned the conversation to Chen Jin.
Others followed suit, saying that her current scale was truly incredible, with two companies occupying a considerable area. If we expand further, the scale should soon exceed 1,000 people.
Chen Jin waved his hands quickly, "We can't expand anymore. There are already used factories around us. There's no room for expansion. Let's just do it step by step."
“Are you going to buy land this year?”
"Well... I can consider it." Chen Jin thought of the land he owned near the train station and hesitated again, saying, "I don't have to buy it. I'm short of money to build a building."
The construction of the land that she, her uncle and Uncle Zhuang bought together is about to begin.
The third cousin raised his eyebrows. When the third sister said seriously that she was short of money, she was basically not really short of money.
With the dividends from Sifang Travel Agency and Xicheng Home Project, plus the success of her two companies, she's probably already saved enough money to build a building.
Not to mention my third cousin, no one else believed it either. They didn't know that Chen Jin had other investments, but just by looking at Baiyou, Lemei and Nan'an, they knew that Chen Jin would definitely not make less money, and the money for building the building could be saved up quickly.
Chen Jin sighed and said seriously, "I really need money. I'm not kidding."
Everyone had no choice but to cooperate and say that she was short of money.
I don't know who suggested that we touch each other, but we did, and for some reason, everything suddenly became quiet.
It's awkward not to say anything.
"Well, I wish Sister Jin will continue to grow bigger and stronger tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, and so do the others. Let's make it bigger and stronger and create brilliance together."
Someone takes the lead and others follow.
"Sister Jin said something."
Chen Jin laughed and said, "No, you guys made me think I was having dinner with my uncles."
Why do you have to say something? Just eat, why do you have to say that? We are the same age, how embarrassing.
Everyone laughed, and Nie Rong urged, "Everyone has said it, Sister Jin, hurry up and say something too."
"Then, I wish the country prosperity and world peace."
The room was quiet for a while, and Nie Rong said, "Jinjie, your awareness is good."
"You've already said everything. I can't think of anything else."
"That's good. I wish the country prosperity and world peace!"
After a day of fun with friends, 1996 also became history in a flash.
Before she had time to lament the passing of another year, the end of semester and winter vacation came and kept her busy.
The lively start of 1997 started with a TV series.
Chen Jin finished his last day of work this semester. When he left work, he said to others: "I didn't take any leave this month, so I should be able to get the full salary."
When others were laughing, Chen Jin reminded them, "You must watch the TV series on the provincial TV station at 8 o'clock tonight!"
"Don't worry, I have already notified the microphones in every building in the family compound." Teacher He is quite good at publicity. He had already spread the news while gossiping with others.
Zhou Ding smiled and said, "I will also promote it to the people in my village when I get home."
Chen Jin went downstairs with satisfaction, and then saw Shen Baichuan waiting by her car with Daju in his arms, and hurriedly quickened his pace to walk up.
"My uncle told us to go back early to eat."
Chen Jin calmly got into the car, started the car, and said, "It won't start until eight o'clock."
"It doesn't start until eight o'clock. Yongan said he wanted to put TV on in the neighborhood so that everyone in the neighborhood can come down and watch it. It will be lively this way."
Isn’t this what it used to be like when we used to huddle together in the village to watch TV?
"Every family has a TV, but it's so cold that no one would go down to join in the fun."
"Besides, don't we need more people to turn on the TV to see it, so that the ratings can be good?"
Shen Baichuan said: “Yongan said that we will attract everyone to watch it in the first two days, and let them know about this TV series, and then let everyone go back to their homes to watch TV.”
"Haha, Chen Yongan's idea is great. Let him work in the company's publicity department during the winter vacation."
Chen Jin thought that no one would come out to get blown by the wind in such a cold weather, but she really underestimated the gossipy aunties, grandmothers and old men in the rose garden.
Everyone was fully equipped with cotton coats, cotton pants, and cotton slippers and went downstairs to join in the fun.
Some people even bring their own small heaters.
At first glance, most of them were from Qiaodong Village, but later other people joined.
When it comes to having fun, the people of Qiaodong Village are somewhat united.
Crossing my legs and watching TV, click, click.
Then from time to time I heard someone say, "This evil mother-in-law on TV is comparable to my former neighbor next door..."
"Oh, my mother-in-law used to be this kind of person."
"That's not easy for you, Miss Zhou."
"Youth's brain was muddled, but later on, you became ruthless and everything got better."
"Why does the sister-in-law in this drama look so much like my sister-in-law? Just looking at her expression, I really want to rush in and slap her!"
Chen Jin hid behind, leaning against Shen Baichuan to block the wind, and roasting the small sun heater, feeling that the current situation was not right.
"Don't they see that the young people there are all dressed very nicely?"
Shen Baichuan rubbed her hands and said with a smile: “Just watch a few more episodes.”
"Yeah, let's move up a little bit, I want to hear their gossip too."
Shen Baichuan was helpless, you don’t think it’s cold outside now, right?
