Big move (minor repair)
After dinner, Chen Jin wanted to drive Ms. Shen and George back to the hotel or take them around, but Ms. Shen refused, saying that she would be going back to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow and that things here had not been completed yet.
Chen Jin calculated the time and found that the day after tomorrow was Monday, so he couldn't even think about sending someone to the airport with Shen Baichuan.
The college has a meeting on Monday morning.
Ms. Shen took her hand and walked aside, patted it gently, and said, "Baichuan's father should have told you about me and him. You live in Rong City. If they come to show off their power as elders, don't confront them. Tell Baichuan to talk to them. Baichuan grew up in the Shen family. Even Mr. Cheng can't control Baichuan."
"Baichuan has been independent since he was young, and he went abroad to study very early. He has a cold personality and doesn't have a very good relationship with his family. I didn't agree with him settling in Rong City before, but now it's just right."
Ms. Shen told her a lot about Shen Baichuan, and from time to time they looked back at Shen Baichuan who was waiting not far away.
Shen Baichuan wanted to go over and listen to what they said, but there was nothing he could do. He glanced at George next to him, and their eyes met, and they both smiled politely.
After Ms. Shen and George got in the taxi and left, Chen Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Shen Baichuan with his hands on his hips, carrying a large bag of meeting gifts.
Shen Baichuan felt guilty when he saw this. He opened his mouth, but although he couldn't say anything, his lip shape was very obvious: What's wrong?
Chen Jin raised his eyebrows and said with certainty: "You were blowing cold wind and acting as a speaker yesterday, so you can't speak today, right?!"
Being a loudspeaker again? This is a strange metaphor, but it seems to be correct.
It is impossible for Ms. Shen to say that he cursed at his grandfather's house yesterday, so it must be that Ms. Shen told her something that made her guess.
Shen Baichuan chuckled and looked back, his eyes filled with the smug look on Chen Jin’s face after he guessed the truth correctly.
Then, Chen Jin said she wanted to walk along the ancient street, and her voice was heard all along the way:
"It must have been quite lively yesterday, wasn't it?"
"I think Ms. Shen will not be able to say much. Did your father go there yesterday? And the people from your second uncle and third uncle's families? Did they make some crazy demands? Or did they say bad things about you in front of Ms. Shen?"
"When you go back, you must take your medicine and get better soon. I'm really curious."
"Were you just yelling at the top of your lungs yesterday? That won't do. Why don't you buy a small speaker? It's very useful. Daju has one. You won't have to yell at the top of your lungs anymore."
"You can curse until you lose your voice, how long will you curse...hiss! Next time if I go to meet your grandfather's people as your partner, they won't come to me as well, right? Your grandfather looks healthy, he shouldn't be mad at us..."
"By the way, your grandpa's family is really rich, giving me so many gold and glittering things. I have to buy a safe to store these things. If they are lost, I can't afford to pay for it. If we can't continue the discussion in the future, I will have to pay it back..."
Her hand was suddenly grabbed by Shen Baichuan, and he looked at her with accusatory eyes: How come we just met the parents and already talked about something that we can’t continue the discussion? That’s too much!
"I'm just assuming, so I won't say anything."
"Your stepfather is not a foreigner. Don't say that about him next time..."
"Your grandparents and uncles and aunts have prepared gifts for me, so I have to give gifts in return. I don't know what to prepare, so you can help me think about it. Ms. Shen asked me to attend her wedding at the end of the year... She also wants us to give her a bouquet. What kind of custom is this? I have never heard of it. But I said, it depends on what you think..."
Shen Baichuan held Chen Jin's hand and stuffed it into his coat pocket. Due to objective reasons, he couldn't answer her at all.
I thought to myself: I had so many questions in my mind, I must have wanted to know them immediately while I was eating just now.
Thinking about what Ms. Shen said to him yesterday when he came out of his grandfather's house, he now feels that it was the right decision to come to Rong City to develop after graduation.
It was a rare occasion for him to get away from Daju and go out on a date alone. Although today's date was with a mute speaker version of Shen Baichuan, Chen Jin was quite happy. He walked around all the streets and alleys in the ancient street and visited the former residences of celebrities.
Not only that, we also went to Guxi Road to eat some cakes.
Of course, she was the only one eating, and Shen Baichuan, the patient, could only watch.
"Just look at it and enjoy it. You can't eat it. What if it makes you more sick? You have to go back to class the day after tomorrow... No, have you finished your class too?"
Shen Baichuan nodded, so he should be able to eat it too.
"I really envy your teacher. He finishes classes early and doesn't have to take advantage of winter and summer vacations." Chen Jin sighed, so he didn't let Shen Baichuan eat with him. "You have to get better soon, otherwise when will I be able to hear about the exciting things you're going to see?!"
After that, two more spoonfuls of cake.
So happy!
When I went back home in the evening, it was almost ten o'clock, and my third aunt called to ask about the situation of meeting Shen Baichuan's family today.
Chen Jin looked at the six boxes neatly arranged on the desk. The big orange boy stretched out his paw to touch one of them and tried to push it away as if it were a toy, but was taken back by Chen Jin.
"I met his mother and his future stepfather today. I received gifts from his grandparents and uncle and aunt. Ms. Shen is very easy to talk to. There is nothing special."
The people in Chen Jin's family knew about the situation in Shen Baichuan's family a long time ago, and now they are a little confused about how there is a future stepfather.
Knowing that everyone in Shen Baichuan's family stayed in Hong Kong and did not come here to live, the third aunt breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the Cheng family on Shen Baichuan's father's side, Shen Baichuan has said that he will not live with the people over there, and the elders over there have no control over him.
Seeing this, I feel much more at ease.
“It’s OK as long as people are easy to get along with.” Actually, I’m still a little worried. I’m afraid that some people may appear to be nice on the surface, but I don’t know what they’re thinking deep down.
The third sister is still young and doesn’t understand some things well enough. Some people are just so evil.
Not living together can save you a lot of trouble.
"Third aunt, are you and Third Uncle back from visiting relatives?"
"Yes, I'll be home in the evening. OK, I won't say any more. Go to bed early."
When my third aunt heard this, she knew she was trying to change the subject, but she also understood most of it, so there was no need to ask any more questions.
"Oh, by the way," the third aunt reminded, "Your second sister-in-law will give birth in a few days. When she gives birth, you have to find time to go to the hospital to see her."
The closer the relationship is with family members, the more important it is to save on these favors.
I’m afraid my third sister will forget about it.
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Jin put the boxes that had been messed up by Daju in order again, and opened them one by one to look at them again.
“It’s really beautiful.”
These are things that I wouldn’t dare wear out to show off, so I have to keep them away carefully.
"Where should I put it?"
Chen Jin carried the six boxes back to the room and locked Daju outside the door.
If Daju knew where this thing was placed, he would definitely dig it out and play with it.
She dug out the small wooden box containing her belongings from deep inside the cupboard, sorted the contents, and then put the six small boxes in. Only after hiding did he open the door for Daju.
Then I saw Daju walking around the room, scratching everywhere.
She just knew it!
When she returned to school on Monday, Teacher He smiled strangely as soon as he saw her and said, "I saw you and your boyfriend on the ancient street on Saturday."
Oh, I thought it was something else! The ancient street is not owned by her family, and it’s the weekend, so it’s normal to run into her.
When he went back in the evening, Chen Jin got the invitation letter to Xiong Jiahao’s family banquet from Shen Baichuan. Judging from the style, it looks very expensive.
Shen Baichuan took medicine for two days but didn't get better. He went to the school hospital to get an IV drip today. Now he can finally speak, but when he speaks, he's like a different person.
When Daju heard his voice, he looked at him doubtfully for a long time before confirming that it was Shen Baichuan himself. Otherwise, Daju would definitely ignore Shen Baichuan.
"February 2nd, it's winter vacation then. Are you going? If you don't go, then I won't go either. There aren't many people I know there."
“Those who want to go, and the Cheng family, will definitely go too.” After Shen Baichuan finished speaking, he took another sip of water to moisten his throat.
Seeing that he still had trouble talking after talking too much, Chen Jin did not embarrass him until he came back from work on Friday, went to Shen Baichuan's house for dinner, and asked him about his visit to his grandfather's house last Friday.
"Auntie Yang has gone back, you can talk now." Chen Jin was already prepared, with an expression as if he was ready to listen to something exciting.
Shen Baichuan laughed. For her, talking about love was not as interesting as gossip.
He was beginning to suspect that if he was not someone who liked to join in the fun, he would at most be just one of the friends she invited out for dinner.
Although Chen Jin said that she valued his character and ability... He remembered what Ms. Shen said about him.
Chen Jin waved his hand in front of him, "Don't be distracted, speak quickly!"
As he said that, he also picked up a large shrimp for Shen Baichuan.
Shen Baichuan was about to speak, but when he saw Daju staring at him at his feet, he paused again.
I feel that Chen Jin and Daju’s expressions are exactly the same.
After clearing his throat, he said, "Actually, there's nothing special. Ms. Shen and I went to the villa where the old man lived, and my father and my two uncles ran over with their families."
"My third aunt and my second aunt spoke rudely, thinking that Ms. Shen came here to help me fight for things. You can see that Ms. Shen is a person who can only say one sentence when I can say ten sentences. She can't even keep up with the words when arguing with others, so she must be at a disadvantage. I said that my third uncle has several girlfriends outside, all of whom are prettier than my third aunt, and that my cousin is more promising than my cousin, and my third aunt and second aunt were furious."
"I call them crazy. They smashed grandpa's antique vase."
When Chen Jin heard that an antique vase was broken, his eyes widened. "No, they are really crazy. They are just arguing. What does it have to do with antiques? Are they sick?! What does your grandfather say?"
"No one said much. They said it would be deducted from their pocket money. I guess it will be deducted until the year after next."
"Good job! Then your second uncle and third uncle will just watch?" How could just these two people quarrel until their voices became hoarse? There must be something else!
"I didn't intend to tell my second and third uncles, but they said that our Shen family had bad upbringing, so I told them about their embezzlement of public funds and having illegitimate children."
Shen Baichuan couldn't help laughing, "You didn't see them like that, their faces were blue and white, they were so angry that they jumped up and down, like crazy men."
"They have so much to do that my voice has been ruined. Next time I will record it in advance and play it for them."
"......" Chen Jin put the shrimps he had peeled into his bowl and said sincerely, "I never thought that I could record and broadcast it in advance. You are really smart."
"Well, if you've recorded it, remember to let me listen to it so I can learn more."
"You've worked so hard and talked so much. Eat some shrimp to replenish your energy."
"In the end? What did you get if you won the argument?"
"It's not good. But some people must have had a hard time during this period."
"Oh, then this is also a benefit. They deserve it." It does not benefit oneself, but it harms others.
After a while, Chen Jin suddenly felt a little guilty.
Shen Baichuan never used to talk about crazy husband and wife, but why does his tone now sound like her tone?
She was under an illusion.
Hiss...Ms. Shen, you won't think that Shen Baichuan is sharp-tongued and vicious just because he calls him a crazy man or a crazy woman, right?
This is just the beginning.
I feel a little guilty, but I have no intention of correcting it.
"The food tonight is really delicious. Eat more, this is Aunt Yang's specialty." Chen Jin called Shen Baichuan to quickly pick up his chopsticks, "If you don't eat it, it will get cold."
Shen Baichuan followed suit and picked up his chopsticks, ate a few bites, and suddenly looked up at her, “Chen Jin, whose house is this?”
"......" Chen Jin said confidently: "This is your home! Come, eat some shrimp to nourish your throat. I feel uncomfortable listening to you talking now, so please stop talking."
She had no fondness for the hoarse bass, and still preferred Shen Baichuan’s original clear and clean voice.
Shen Baichuan was about to laugh out of anger, now he wanted him to mute himself after listening to the excitement, right?
She is the most domineering!
"It's really interesting." Chen Jin exclaimed again.
Because of these gossips, she ate half a bowl of rice more today. It’s a pity that it’s too cold outside, otherwise she would have to ask Shen Baichuan to go out for a walk to digest the food.
On weekends, she and Shen Baichuan went to their respective companies to work.
Nie Rong came to her with a file bag, "Hey, what big happy event is going to happen to you today, sister?"
"It's a big happy event. A furniture company has placed a big order. We will have a good New Year this year."
After the exhibition, their furniture company received a small order. Unexpectedly, a week later, several more orders came in. As soon as she came to the office this morning, Director Gao came to report the good news, saying that they had received a large order of 300,000 yuan.
The furniture factory across the street has hired a new batch of workers, but they are now temporary workers. If orders continue to come in, these temporary workers can be converted to regular employees.
"Congratulations! You've made a fortune now. You have enough money to buy a building."
It is indeed a two-way success. Baiyou is preparing to open two new branches in the northern part of the city, right next to Nanjing University and Normal University.
Not only is the number of their own branches increasing, the number of franchisees from other places has reached ten, covering eight cities in Southern Province, and one has been opened in the neighboring province.
It is gradually gaining fame in the province, and there is hope that it will become bigger and stronger.
Chen Jin chuckled twice, "I think so. I've been waiting to buy the building. I think that building should be mine."
"What do you mean?"
"The God of Wealth told me this in my dream." Chen Jin made it up.
Nie Rong didn't know how to respond to this, but she spoke it as if it were true. "Take a look first. The auction is tentatively scheduled for mid-March after the New Year. Among those who want to buy it is Nansheng. They want to build their own shopping mall. There is also Wanmin Company, and they are also planning to build a new shopping mall in Dongcheng District. Both companies are interested at the moment, but it is not certain whether they will actually participate in the auction. You should be mentally prepared."
Chen Jin, who was smiling just now, now began to frown, "Others are rich and powerful, I can't beat them with my weak arms and legs."
These two are the most difficult to compete with, but for the rest, you can still give it a try.
"Forget it. If someone really wants to take over the old department store, I can't stop them. It depends on fate."
Every time I say "it depends on fate", and every time I exert my strength quietly. They had known each other for quite some time, and Nie Rong didn't believe her lies. "So you're just going to do nothing?"
"We still have to fight for it."
Look, he said, is Sister Jin the kind of person who would give in when faced with a little difficulty?
"What are you going to do?"
"We'll have to wait and see. I'm a bit busy right now with my student work at the end of the semester and the company's year-end summary."
Looks like a big move!
"Tell me how you can fight for it." Nie Rong said again, "If you can't say it, then don't say it."
Sometimes business secrets cannot be disclosed casually, and he understands this rule.
Chen Jin had an unfathomable expression and chuckled, which made Nie Rong suddenly feel that this might not be a serious method.
really.
"I will go to Xichan Temple to burn incense after the Chinese New Year and donate the 8888. I promised to donate money if Baiyou becomes bigger and stronger. Since I am so honest and trustworthy, I will make another wish and it should work."
Nie Rong's breathing stagnated and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"I thought you might hire someone to put sacks on the bidders and take them away, or steal their official seals or something..."
Chen Jin quickly waved his hands, "Don't do illegal things like this. If you do it, you'll end up in jail."
He also taught him: "Young people should keep their minds right and not do these illegal things."
Nie Rong's eyes were complicated.
You can’t do anything illegal, but you can do something legal, right?
After getting this information, Chen Jin saw Geng Xin in the company, so he called her over and gave her a shot of prevention.
"You may not be able to buy it, so don't hold your hopes too high. Don't worry, if you can't buy this one, you will definitely be able to buy something better in the future."
Geng Xin had nothing to worry about. In the words of his boss, he should do his best and leave the rest to fate.
She just wanted to promote her reputation as a top 100 company and make a lot of money. Buying a building is the boss’s job.
But she felt that her boss was still a bit lucky.
She was just waiting to take down the sign on the old department store and replace it with the Parkview Greenwich sign.
"Okay, boss, I got it. I'll go back first."
"Well, work hard. If we can't buy the old department store, we can always buy something else later."
When Geng Xin heard this, it automatically changed its meaning: You work hard, and when you make money, I will not only buy the old department store, but also other buildings!
Chen received the lists of New Year goods submitted by the purchasing departments of the two companies this afternoon.
I remember what Teacher He said last year, that only good companies will distribute Sun God oral liquid.
Although she thought the thing tasted bad, seemed useless, and was expensive, she still added it to the notes.
I flipped through the year-end bonus details compiled by the Finance Department, and thinking of the bonus I missed out on because I took frequent leave, I made a note to add a holiday allowance.
"That's it for this year. Next year, we'll try to have everyone eat meat together."
