assistant
From then on, Chu Qi began her life as the boss's assistant.
I thought he was going out for social events with his boss every day, scolding and beating anyone he scolded.
In fact, her boss is as idle as a street urchin.
I come here every day and the question I'm asked most often is "Have you eaten? If not, come out with me to eat. I can't finish it all by myself." They also don't want her to drive and be on call at all times, saying that there is only one car, and if she drives it, the boss will have no one to drive.
When the boss didn't come to the company, he asked her to stay in the company and learn what to do from the two factory managers' assistants.
At noon, several senior brothers and sisters followed the crowd of the company and ate their boxed lunches sitting on red plastic stools under the parasols set up outside the company.
Take a look at the scorching sun, then look back at the company's unfinished cafeteria.
"Just bear with it for a while. They said they'll install a big fan in the cafeteria."
"Why did I hear someone talking about installing an air conditioner?"
"Really? Hey, Junior Sister, aren't you the boss' assistant? Have you heard any news? Can we live in the company dormitory in the future?"
Chu Qi ate his lunch box and sighed, "I suspect I followed a fake boss."
"That's too much. I want to switch jobs with you. It's so nice to be relaxed every day. You should learn from others and put your brain back into it. We can't stay in this martial arts school for long. You should change jobs as soon as possible."
"Second Brother is right. The martial arts school can no longer be run. If we want to go out and be bodyguards, they either think there is something wrong with our past and refuse to hire us, or they want us to do something shady. We should not get involved in such things. It's not like we can't make a living, so there's no need."
"Just keep working here for now. This company is pretty good. I'll change jobs when I find a suitable one. I still want to go back and open a martial arts school."
The people in their row were particularly eye-catching because they looked strong and energetic. Several middle-aged women came over and asked them if they had a partner and said they would introduce them to someone.
Chu Qi silently distanced himself from his fellow apprentices.
"Assistant Chu, are you having dinner here? The boss just said she wanted to see you. She said she was going out to have dinner with someone this afternoon and asked you to go with her."
After expressing their gratitude to Director Geng’s assistant, Chu Qi quickened his eating pace, ignored his fellow apprentices, and turned back after finishing his meal.
"I envy my junior sister, who can go out to eat and drink with the boss again. Why am I not a woman?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped on the back of her head by the second senior brother, "You have only one line in your head, so why don't you keep talking? You can't say such things outside. Junior sister is going out with the boss to do serious work, stop talking nonsense."
"Oh." Still envious.
When the HR manager went to the Security Department to talk to someone, he wanted to recommend himself, but the HR manager said it was inconvenient for the boss to take a male comrade out.
The eldest and third brothers both went to work as drivers and bodyguards for the two factory managers. He and a few other fellow disciples were not selected. Alas, they envied their junior sisters.
Chen Jin really went to eat this time, and was called by his uncle.
In fact, it was because of the piece of land in Dongcheng District that they bought together that my uncle and Uncle Zhuang invited many friends to dinner.
Chen Jin also called Wei Zhenhua and Xiang Qian, and Wei Zhenhua also brought two friends along, so the dinner went relatively smoothly.
Tang Zuming's father, Mr. Tang, was also there. When he saw Chen Jin had invited so many people over, he started to get excited again.
Tang Zuming rolled his eyes. His father just wouldn't listen. He had told him many times that Chen Jin was not someone to be trifled with.
You see, in the past Chen Jin was only known for her mouth and was not easy to mess with, but now she has found herself a female assistant who graduated from a martial arts school. To put it bluntly, I just plan to find someone to fight with when I get tired of arguing.
You mean Chen Jin won't take action? You're really overthinking it. When she was in high school, she got violent and then pretended to be sick and told on the matter. She is so cruel.
"Hey, where did you hire this bodyguard? No, he's an assistant?" Tang Zuming remembered what Chen Jin said, asking him to "be more cautious" and not get too close, and he just slightly leaned sideways to talk to her.
"Our company's security department selected them. Do you also want to find an assistant who can fight? I recommend one to you. I think you may need two." Chen Jin helped him analyze the situation carefully.
"What do you mean? Two is safer?"
"Yeah, you're a bit of a jerk. There should be a lot of people who want to beat you up. Recruiting just one person is definitely not enough. You can recruit two, or three or four."
Tang Zuming: "......"
Every time he talked to Chen Jin, he had to remind himself again and again in his heart: This is Ling Yun’s good friend!
"Do you want it? I'll give you the phone number of our security department, so you can contact them yourself."
She was so active in promoting the product that Tang Zuming almost felt she was setting a trap. "Are you so kind? You want me to poach the talented young man from your security department?"
"You're crazy! Does my security department need so many good fighters? There's a police station across the street, and there are factories all around. One person working in the furniture company's workshop can knock down two skinny guys. They are wasting their talents in my place."
Tang Zuming thought so too, and accepted the number copied by Chen Jin, and asked, "Do you have Ling Yun's contact information? Otherwise..."
"I'll have my assistant talk to you later. Let me give it a try. Who is better at fighting, Ling Yun or my assistant?"
"......" Tang Zuming smiled and refused, "That's not necessary, just pretend I didn't ask."
"Also, could you please stop mentioning the time when Ling Yun beat me up?"
When mentioning the word "beat", Tang Zuming lowered his voice. He really couldn't say it.
Chen Jin simply ignored him.
After his uncle and the others finished their discussion, Chen Jin helped to see them off, especially Wei Zhenhua and Xiang Qian.
"Brother Hua, Brother Qian, I have to thank you again this time."
Wei Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "They are all small matters. Just speak up if you have any problems in the future."
Xiang Qian smiled and said, "You are quite famous in our compound now."
"Could it be that Nie Rong spread the news that I had a quarrel with someone outside?"
"Haha." Xiang Qian recalled the words spread in the compound and laughed so hard that tears came out. Under Chen Jin's puzzled gaze, he said:
"It's rumored in the compound that there's a nouveau riche named Chen who donated several million to Ling Yun's unit in order to pursue her."
Chen Jin: "...your compound is even more outrageous than our village. Once this gossip was passed on, not only did they distort the facts, they even changed the gender."
However, this gossip was so hilarious that it reminded her of someone who had previously misunderstood Ling Yun as a man, and her boyfriend.
Wei Zhenhua and Xiang Qian laughed happily.
When they first heard the rumor, they were all silent. They didn't know who spread the news of the donation, but they couldn't figure out who the man surnamed Chen was after thinking for a long time. Now there is no way to contact Ling Yun, and everyone is scratching their heads and thinking about it.
Finally, it was Nie Rong who said, "Jin Jie's surname is Chen!"
So they guessed that it should be Chen Jin. Later I went to ask someone to confirm it, and it turned out to be Chen Jin.
But it is not known where the message went wrong, which resulted in the distortion of the original intention of the donation and the gender of the donor.
Although this misunderstanding is a bit funny, there are still many leaders in the compound who know the whole story.
Their parents also said that Ling Yun’s friend was a good one.
"We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
"Okay, when Lingyun comes back, I'll treat you to a meal together."
Wei Zhenhua smiled and said, “Okay!”
As soon as he sent the people away, Tang Zuming popped up and asked, "Are those two Ling Yun's friends? I saw them last time at Juchun Garden... Hey, Chen Jin, are you going back to the company? Why don't I go with you? I'll go to your company's security department to meet my future assistant..."
"If you don't have anything else to do and you don't want to go back to the company, don't follow me. The one who just had his hair cut is from the city police's criminal investigation team. If you want to go to the bureau for tea, I'll call him back now."
"That's fine. Next time Lingyun comes back, just take me with you to dinner. Your second brother and I are in the same boat now. We will often cooperate in the future. We are old classmates. You say... Tsk! I'm leaving right away."
Mr. Tang at the back sighed with regret.
After Chen Jin got in the car, he reminded Chu Qi, "You should ask your fellow apprentices to carefully consider whether to be his assistants. I think it's only a matter of time before Tang Zuming is put in a sack."
"Okay." Chu Qi sighed silently while driving. Why did she feel that her boss was the same?
A few days ago, I wanted to take her to help the village aunties quarrel, but halfway through she received a call from her boss saying that it was over and told her not to go.
The boss is quite normal in the company, and she's also quite normal when she's talking about serious matters with people outside, but she's really a chatterbox in private.
Anyone who joins the company and doesn’t know what the boss did on the opening day is not considered an insider.
Chen Jin sat in the back seat, leaned back, closed her eyes and rested, and directly held down the big orange boy who was about to pounce on her.
"The people you're going to meet are from Qiaoxi Village. Just follow me in and don't say much. Just watch."
Chu Qi knew that after all, she had appeared in the Rose Garden Community before, and she was the only prominent woman in the martial arts hall, so it would be difficult for others to forget her.
"You don't have to think too much. Every wrong has its perpetrator. You shouldn't be blamed on anyone else. Most villagers are hoping that all the village officials will be investigated. We can just sit back and watch the fun."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at a hotel near the suburbs of South City.
Chen Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought they were booking the restaurant next door. The food in that restaurant is terrible."
Before Chen Jin could get out of the car to pick up Daju, Chu Qi had already come over. She was able to pick up Daju with one hand, so Chen Jin had to use both hands to pick up Daju.
So, she has to arrange an assistant. If she gets beaten up before it’s her turn one day, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
"The troublemaker brought her cat here again." Someone reminded in a low voice.
"He brought a woman with him this time. She looks familiar. Does she look like the woman from the martial arts gym I saw in the neighborhood before?"
"Well, now that you mention it, it does seem like she is a troublemaker. Bringing this person here..."
Chen Jinyi looked around in the restaurant and saw that all the tables were full of people. Just as he was about to find a seat, Liu Mantang in front of him called him to sit in the front.
Chen Jin instantly locked onto his target, and when he saw the smiling Liu Yang, he took Chu Qi and went straight to Liu Yang's table.
"Move over a little and leave us two empty spots."
"No, the village chief specially reserved a seat in the front for you, so you should go to the front." Liu Yang looked at her, then looked at Chu Qi who was holding the familiar big orange cat, and looked at Chen Jin with complicated eyes: What a stubborn person.
"I'm not from your village, so why should I sit at the main table in front? I'm afraid your village's ancestors will come looking for me. We don't have many people in the Chen family."
Chen Jin arranged it directly, squeezed out two seats, and then pulled Chu Qi to sit down.
"This person..." Liu Yang said with a sigh, "How dare you bring her here?"
"Why can't I bring the bodyguards I paid for? If a fight breaks out later, don't let me get hurt."
The village chief who had just walked over happened to hear these words. When he saw Chu Qi, he immediately recognized her as a member of the martial arts school. It was impossible for him to say that he was not angry at all.
Chen Jin was the first to speak: "Village Chief Liu, let me make it clear in advance that I have no other intentions. I asked the company to hire an assistant who can fight for me, and the company hired her for me. They have already hired her, and the salary is not low. I can't just say no, right?"
Liu Mantang naturally knew that this matter had nothing to do with Chen Jin. It was normal for someone to hire a bodyguard, and it was not something he could interfere with.
To put it bluntly, the relationship between Qiaoxi Village and Chen Jin is not very good, so it would be strange if he could replace the assistant for them.
"Haha, it's Mr. Chen's freedom to invite anyone. Our family's affairs have nothing to do with Mr. Chen's assistant."
"Yeah, it really doesn't matter." Chen Jin followed Liu Mantang's words and said, "Assistant Chu is paid to do the job."
"Hey, is it time to start now? I won't go to the front. My cervical spine has been a bit uncomfortable recently. If I sit in the front, I have to look up to watch the people talking on the stage. It's just right for me to sit here. Village Chief Liu, there's no need to arrange a seat in the front for me."
Liu Mantang had no choice but to give up. He turned around and went upstairs to talk to the others, then went straight to the stage in front.
Chen Jin very familiarly ordered Liu Yang beside him, saying, "Bring me a bottle of drink."
"By the way, according to seniority, you should call me aunt, right?"
Liu Yang had a gloomy face and didn't want to get her a drink. He was reminded by his father at the table behind him with a slap. He reluctantly got her a drink and said, "You are now a big boss known to everyone in our village. I'd better call you Mr. Chen."
That's why his father urged him to hurry up. According to his father, if he could get on board Chen Jin and work in her company, it would at least be a serious job, much better than sitting idle at home like he is now.
"It's all fine. You can call me aunt." Chen Jin poured himself a glass and also poured a glass for Chu Qi.
Liu Yang rolled his eyes quietly.
Liu Mantang on the stage had already started speaking, and he admitted his mistakes as soon as he opened his mouth. After all, the fact that the village cadres were corrupt was already a foregone conclusion.
But judging from the reactions of the villagers, everyone had known about it for a long time, and they just turned a blind eye to it before.
Some people are definitely dissatisfied, but their dividends are still distributed through the village, and they are afraid of being deducted.
I don’t know who took the lead, but someone cursed the village cadres, and then others immediately followed. But those who were seriously corrupt were arrested, and their family members hid away and did not come.
The village chief still has the image of a good guy. After all, he did not take much bribes. In comparison, he is considered to have a conscience. The fact that the corrupt village cadres were caught this time was thanks to the village chief, so no one took their anger out on him.
A group of people shouted for a few minutes, and the restaurant owners all came out to see what was happening.
So many people gathered, shouting in unison, no one knew what they were saying. They were afraid that someone was running a pyramid scheme here.
Liu Mantang stopped only after the people had finished cursing.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss again how dividends were distributed in the village, as well as the reconstruction of the village ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall in Qiaoxi Village has nothing to do with her, so she just needs to listen to how the dividends are distributed.
Now that she's free, she wants to listen to more gossip. She's been living a dull life for quite some time.
Chen Jin took a quick look and found that Old Man Liu and his family were sitting together, but Liu Shisheng's family of four were not there.
"Liu Shisheng didn't come?"
Liu Yang suspected that she was gloating, but when he found that she seemed to be unaware of the situation, he said, "I heard that he harassed female students at school and was blackmailed. He lost all his money and is embarrassed to show his face."
"Could this kind of news have come from their own family?"
Liu Yang gave her a thumbs up and said, "That's right, it was spread by our family. Otherwise, we don't know any teachers or students in the university, so who would know these things? I dare not say anything else, but the villagers of Qiaoxi Village who live in Xicheng Homeland know about it."
"Oh, no wonder, otherwise he would have missed such an opportunity to share the money." Chen Jin chuckled and said, "Then their family is quite united, and they are all focused on making money for themselves."
Liu Yang couldn't respond to this.
Chen Jin asked again: "Why don't you see that person from the village chief's house?"
Liu Yang immediately guessed that the person she wanted to ask about was Liu Guangyao. After all, they had been gossiping partners for several times, so they were able to talk it out together.
Liu Yang covered his mouth and whispered, "Run away. If you don't run, someone will cut off your arms and legs. I heard that the village chief sent you to another province, but I don't know where."
“People can’t get carried away just because they have money.” Liu Yang sighed.
After the official demolition last year, all kinds of demons and ghosts appeared. Some people lost their fortunes in gambling, some were jealous of their neighbors and poisoned them, some became rich but despised their wives and planned to find another one, and some even had fathers and sons, brothers and sisters who turned against each other...
"Some people have already lost all their houses before they even got them. Even if the houses are built, they won't be able to get them. It's better not to demolish them."
If there is no demolition, it would be enough to live a good life just by renting out your own house.
When a large sum of money is raised from demolition, that money becomes worthless and becomes just a string of numbers which has no sense of reality at all.
Chen Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't say it's the money's fault. If a person has a crooked heart, no matter how much money he has, it won't stop him from going astray."
"You just don't learn your lesson. There are a lot of people who live a good life when they have money. To put it bluntly, you are just greedy. After receiving the demolition compensation, you just want more money."
Liu Yang nodded and sighed.
"You can be a big boss."
"Isn't that right?!"
Chen Jin and Liu Yang were talking back and forth, although they were speaking in low voices, they were chatting animatedly and basically covered the entire Qiaoxi Village.
In the middle of the meal, she did not forget to remind Chu Qi to eat.
"Eat, don't be polite. The village charges each household a fee, and this money is deducted from the dividends. I only have a cat and I, so I'm losing a lot. Eat more and make up for the money you put in."
Chu Qi then picked up the chopsticks again.
After eating, I can work better, although I don’t know what kind of work it will be.
After Liu Mantang finished speaking, he asked everyone to come to the front and donate money for the reconstruction of the ancestral hall, and to leave their names and amounts, as they would be engraved on the ancestral hall's stele.
“How much are you donating?”
Chen Jin was shocked. "I am a person with the last name Chen. What does building an ancestral hall in your village have to do with me?"
Liu Yang had nothing to say. That seems to be the case.
Chen Jin felt relieved when he confirmed that the previous dividends would be deposited into each family’s bank account.
Just as she was scooping herself a bowl of soup, she saw Third Aunt rushing over and asking her whether Lan Meiying was in her company.
"You're sick. If you can't find him, report it to the police. Don't even think about coming here to act crazy."
"Even if she's not in your company, you must know where she is! Who...who are you?"
"I hired an assistant." Chen Jin glanced at the Third Aunt who was blocked by Chu Qi with one hand, and said proudly, "Don't get mad, I just scolded you before, but now I have a helper, I can beat ten of you."
Chu Qi frowned and thought to herself: The boss is really good at fanning the flames. If there were really ten of them, she could beat them up, but it doesn't mean she can protect them at the same time!
Old man Liu came over and helped Third Aunt, then said to Chen Jin, "If you have Meiying's phone number, talk to your Third Aunt. She must have gone crazy because she couldn't find her for such a long time."
Chen Jin snorted and said with a smile, "Are you going crazy because you can't find the person, or are you going crazy because of poverty? You want to find the person and continue to make money and bring him home? Maybe you can even sell him for a good price."
"Come on, stop pretending in front of me. If I say I don't know, then I don't know."
"You, you! I'm going to call the police right now. I'm going to report you for hiding someone."
Chen Jin was even more straightforward than her and dialed the number directly, "Uncle Wenhao? I'm at the Xingfu Hotel on Xinghua Street in the suburbs. Someone wants to call the police and say that I'm hiding someone. Are you free? Come and take a look. I suspect they are the thief crying thief."
"Chen Jin, you are sick!"
Chen Jin put his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "You said you wanted to call the police, so I called the police for you. It saves trouble. Let me see who the thief is. Maybe you sold him out, and now you are pretending to be dead outside, and you want to throw dirty water on me."
"I don't!"
"Then why are you afraid that I will call the police? You must have done it!"
"I don't!"
"Look, look, I hit the nail on the head, and you're getting angry out of shame."
Old man Liu said with a sullen face, "Alright, stop embarrassing yourself here and go back. Chen Jin, don't let anyone come."
“Oh, I didn’t make the call.”
Other people watching the fun: “…” You are such a cunning person.
Chen Jin added: "You guys haven't really done anything bad, have you? Are you so afraid of calling the police?"
"I said no, no! I just can't find anyone!" Third Aunt was almost driven crazy by her, especially the people around her who followed Chen Jin's words and looked at her with speculative eyes.
Chen Jin curled his lips and said, "If there is no, then there is no. Why are you angry? You look suspicious."
Only then did Liu Mantang come out to smooth things over and say it was all a misunderstanding.
Chen Jin said, "If it's just a misunderstanding, forget it. It's better to have fewer misunderstandings like this in the future."
"I'm leaving."
Chen Jin got in the car and made a phone call. After the call was connected, he said, "I came here specifically to help you test it today. They haven't thought about calling the police yet. I was still thinking of an excuse to try, and she came to me on her own. It really saves me a lot of trouble."
"You better hide well. I think your mother is crazy. I don't know what has stimulated her to insist that you come back."
"Well! If you don't want to see each other, then don't see each other. How close are we? Do we have to see each other?"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jin felt itchy and went to pinch the big orange cat's paw, but was glared at by it.
"I really want to find someone to put a sack on the crazy man and woman."
Chu Qi pursed her lips and reminded her: "Don't do anything illegal or criminal. The company's image cannot be damaged."
This is not what she said, it is what the boss said himself. Let her mention it when she is impulsive.
