counselor
Maybe the second cousin’s persuasion worked. After being angry for a few days, my uncle temporarily put aside the matters concerning my aunt’s family. But my second cousin said that my uncle’s belly fat had shrunk because of his anger.
Chen Jin was concentrating on the progress of Jinxiu Community. At this time, Tian Miao also resigned from the supermarket and came back, ready to open a small supermarket.
Chen Jin didn't need to worry about purchasing goods. After all, he had the "Yongfei Supermarket" opened by his third uncle and aunt as a reference, so most of the things could be copied directly. During this period, Chen Jin asked Tian Miao to learn from his third uncle and aunt what he should pay attention to when managing a supermarket.
My third uncle had spent a lot of effort to get the tobacco license before. This time, he took Chen Jin to prepare all the materials and it was done with just one trip.
Chen Jin posted a rental notice for another shop and temporarily left the contact information of his third uncle's supermarket, and asked Tian Miao to contact them for negotiations. She was getting ready to go to work, so she had to put all the housework aside for the time being.
However, she had nothing to worry about. Jinxiu Community is now just waiting for ventilation and will start renting out in August. My third uncle will be there to help for a while, and the matter of collecting rent will be left to Tian Miao. She didn't need to worry about Xiuli Community, as her third uncle would take care of the rent collection. If someone didn't renew their lease, she could ask Bai Xinping to introduce a friend to them. As for Qiaoxi Village, my cousin Mengchong is in charge of it, so there is no need to worry about it.
So, now she really just has to sit back and collect rent. Even the hard work of running from house to house to collect rent is saved.
There is no need to clean up here. She will go back to the small western-style building and live there for a while. After working for half a month, she should come to live in Hanlin Garden again.
However, when she was pulling her suitcase downstairs to the parking lot, she actually saw Shen Baichuan waving at her. Rong City is so small that she can meet her neighbors here.
Oh yes, she almost forgot that Shen Baichuan mentioned that he also had a house in Hanlin Garden. That's normal, because one of the developers of Hanlin Garden is a real estate company under the Cheng Group.
Such a large family fortune can indeed support him to change luxury cars every day seven days a week. Tsk, it was another car she had never seen before, and it was red, quite ostentatious, and it didn’t look like Shen Baichuan’s style.
Shen Baichuan found it funny to see that she couldn't help but always glance at the red car behind him. In Chen Jin's eyes, he was really not as attractive as his cars.
"Is Teacher Chen going to work at school?"
“Yeah.” Chen Jin looked at Shen Baichuan enviously, she was going to work, and Shen Baichuan’s vacation had just begun.
It’s funny. Before I graduated, I thought I should find a job, but when I really started working, I became too lazy and didn’t want to work. But if I don’t work, I don’t know what to do.
My uncle often says that she has the potential to be successful, but in reality she is just a scatterbrained person, not doing anything well, and just doing everything in a sloppy manner to get by. The eldest cousin and the second cousin are busy with their own company matters, and Gu Minmin is a teacher. Oh, she is also going to have summer vacation now. Chen Ting works as a nurse in the hospital, and her third cousin is also busy with his travel agency business. As for Chen Jia and Chen Yongan, it’s not time for them to start working yet.
She doesn't seem to have any career aspirations, perhaps she hasn't found her own way yet.
Let’s put aside the long-term thoughts and career issues for now. She is going to start transforming herself into “Teacher Chen”.
Shen Baichuan had just returned from outside and would be staying at Hanlin Garden recently, so it was unexpected for him to meet Chen Jin in the parking lot. The parking lot was empty and any louder voices they spoke would echo. After a few pleasantries, Chen Jin said goodbye and drove away.
After Shen Baichuan and the others left, he went around the trunk to get something, and then he saw a long scratch on the side of the car. He laughed angrily, took out his cell phone and dialed the number heavily.
"I went to the old house today, and when I came back my car had a scratch. Either you transfer the compensation to my account now, or I will go back and continue what we discussed today."
On the other end of the phone, the old man was so angry that he cursed loudly. It was unclear whether he was scolding his half-brother for being naughty, or taking the opportunity to scold him for being so powerful that he could take advantage of the family company.
Shen Baichuan held the phone a little further away, and sat calmly on the front of the car, waiting for the old man to give the final plan.
Then, he had extra money to buy a car.
No matter how many cars there are in the Cheng family’s old house, they are not enough to compensate him. Now they have fallen to the point where they can only pay him money.

When Chen Jin returned home, he walked up and down barefoot. It felt so cool and comfortable. But Professor Song heard the noise and came over to bring her some food. When he saw that she was barefoot, he insisted that she put on shoes or socks.
"It's too hot today. We plan to live in the country for a while."
The countryside that Professor Song mentioned is an ancient village around Rong City, which has been developed for tourism. Big banyan trees can be seen everywhere in the village, almost covering the entire village. You don’t need to bring an umbrella when walking on the village roads during the day.
Chen Jin had been there once when he was in college, for a class activity, and was deeply impressed. It was an ancient village that was very poetic and seemed to have come out of an ink painting. But if Professor Song hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten that there was such a place in Rong City.
She'll drive over there for a walk some other day on the weekend.
"By the way, your high school classmate sent me a wedding invitation. I didn't expect to get married so soon." Professor Song knew that Chen Jin didn't mind hearing about her ex-boyfriend, so she wanted to ask Chen Jin if she had received the invitation.
Chen Jin said with a smile: "They probably don't dare to send me an invitation."
They invited her, but she didn't want to go. She had no appetite even if she went, so it would be a waste of time.
The two of them were finally married and tied together, so she felt relieved. If these two people break up and find someone else, it will be a harm to others. It is better to lock them up together.
By the time Professor Song and Dean Xi went out with their bags, no one on either side of the neighborhood was home, so she could turn up the volume at home without disturbing anyone else.
I started working the next day after I came back.
The working hours during the summer vacation are quite humane. We start work at nine in the morning and get off work at five in the afternoon, with a two and a half hour break at noon.
Her previous counselor, Chang Jianshe, whom Chen Jin called Teacher Chang, is now her guide in her work. After teaching her class, Teacher Chang was supposed to start from scratch to teach the new students, but the counselor for the next class resigned and went into business, so the college finally let him take over.
If a counselor had not resigned, the college would not have had any vacancies to recruit, otherwise Chen Jin would have had to look for jobs outside.
"As a counselor, the most trivial thing is the daily management of students. Today someone asks you for leave, and tomorrow someone asks you for something else. You also have to judge whether the reason for their leave is true or not. The most important thing is the safety of students while they are on campus. Two years ago, a female student went out to play with other students from other majors and did not return home at night. If she hadn't met the police on the way, she would have been caught in a car."
"Safety is the most important issue. We have to emphasize it over and over again. We have to explain it again even during holidays. A few years ago, a girl from another college was invited by her roommate to go back to her hometown to play. She was almost kidnapped to the mountains and sold to old bachelors who couldn't find wives. Students are still very simple-minded and have not seen much evil in human nature. They may believe it if others coax them..."
"In addition to daily management, you just need to talk to them more often. Your young age is also an advantage, and it is easy for you to get along with students. The other thing is the scholarship evaluation. I don't need to tell you about this. You should know the process as you have received scholarships every year. But you are a counselor now, and what you need to do is to maintain fairness in the evaluation..."
"I have some work summaries and experiences here. You can take them back and read them. Maybe they will be helpful to you in managing students in the future."
"Besides student management, there are some administrative matters. Sometimes I have to prepare materials for assessments and inspections."
This morning, Teacher Chang went over with her the general content of a counselor's job.
At noon, Teacher Chang said he wanted to welcome her and invited her to dinner, and also invited two counselors in the office.
One is Teacher He Chunmei, who is in charge of the sophomore class. She is a counselor in the same batch as Teacher Chang. They have been working as counselors in the School of Arts for seven years. Both of them were assigned here after graduating from the Normal University.
Another person who was selected after interviewing with her is Mr. Zhou Dingzhou, who graduated with a degree in psychology. He was supposed to take over the students who were about to enter their third year, but the handover is not so quick now because Mr. Mo, the counselor for this class of students, is still in office.
It seems that Zhou Ding's job handover is not easy. Teacher Mo said that he will be transferred to work in the administrative building, but there is no confirmed news yet. But the college has already recruited someone to take over Teacher Mo's position...
Chen Jin watched and felt that this might be another big drama.
Teacher Mo declined the suggestion to have dinner together and chose to go home to eat.
This morning, Chen Jin had not seen Teacher Mo in a good mood. Especially after he came back from the Dean's office in the morning, he was in a low mood. Chen Jin tried his best not to say anything. But Teacher Chang was an experienced teacher and didn't care. He just continued to explain the situation to her. Then, she saw Zhou Ding also taking notes silently with a pen and a notebook.
I shed a tear for Zhou Ding, it's so embarrassing.
Teacher Chang said they would go to a small restaurant outside the west gate to eat, and then go home after dinner. He and Teacher He both got married a long time ago, and their spouses were both faculty and staff of the school. When the school was allocating housing to working couples, they both settled down here.
However, it is unknown when Zhou Ding will be assigned a room. Currently, he lives in a student dormitory with counselors from other colleges. The living conditions are better than those of the students, as only two people live in one dormitory.
The sun was too strong outside. Although the road was not far, Chen Jin still chose to drive. He first dropped Teacher Chang and the other three off to the side of Wutong Road, then drove back to the community and parked in the open space inside the community gate. He said goodbye to the guard before walking towards the restaurant.
It’s time to keep an extra umbrella in the car. It seems that the umbrella in her car was left at her home in Hanlinyuan and she forgot to take it with her.
Teacher Chang and others who came out in Chen Jin's car truly felt Chen Jin's "wealth".
They had heard the news that Chen Jin's family had money for the demolition, and the students spread the news privately, so it was sure to reach the teacher. But before, we only knew that Chen Jin was rich, but we didn’t know to what extent he was rich.
When I got in the car, I remembered that a Santana costs more than 100 or 200,000 yuan. Then I thought about the current price of houses... Oh, I really can't envy this.
Teacher He became even more numb when he learned that Chen Jin had a small Western-style house. A small western-style building, how much would that cost? Now you can’t buy it even if you have money.
Chen Jin went back to the small restaurant and when she sat down, she saw that everyone was looking at her with complicated expressions, so she smiled at them and asked if they had ordered. The topic immediately turned to the signature dishes of this small restaurant which looked ordinary but was actually a "master". It was obvious that Teacher Chang was a regular customer and knew every dish on the menu by heart.
Chen Jin didn't intend to keep a low profile in front of her colleagues. She would hide most of her wealth, but the car and the small villa were where she often drove and lived, so she couldn't hide it, so she might as well let people know.
In fact, there is no need to hide it. Teacher Chang taught her class and he must know her home address.
"Come on, let's have tea instead of wine to welcome the two new colleagues." Teacher Chang raised his glass and gave her and Zhou Ding some advice: "At the beginning, talk less and watch more. Ask questions when you don't understand. Don't panic when you encounter problems. If the sky falls, the leader will be the first to take the lead."
Chen Jin was happy. It would be best if the leader could take charge, otherwise she would have to take charge even if it was not her business.
"Chen Jin and Zhou Ding, do you have a partner? If not, please tell me your requirements and Sister He will introduce you to a suitable one."
Here it comes, Chen Jin’s alarm bells rang. I remembered what my second uncle said, that when the older brothers and sisters in the unit have free time, their favorite thing to do is to act as matchmakers and introduce potential partners to the young people in the unit.
But you have to judge carefully in this case. Some people really think you are good, and they happen to know someone with similar conditions, so they want to bring you together. But some people are much more complicated. When they see that you have good conditions, they will introduce you to people they know as a resource. They don’t care about the conditions of the person they introduce you to or whether he or she is suitable for you. To put it bluntly, they are treating you as a favor or a stepping stone.
No matter what the situation is, no matter who introduces her to someone now, she will have to shake her head.
She didn't even understand the job, and wasn't sure what kind of people her colleagues were like in private. Even though she had known Teacher Chang for four years, she didn't know much about him.
Zhou Ding smiled shyly and said, "I don't have a partner yet, but I'm not in a hurry. I just graduated."
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Jin.
Chen Jin also laughed and said, "Me too, I don't think there's any need to rush. My family also said that we are still young, so we should have more fun for a few years. It's considered late for my brothers and sisters to date and get married, and the elders in the family don't urge us to get married."
"It's okay. Playing first and watching slowly don't conflict. Now that you have a standard, it will be easier to find it later, right?"
Teacher Chang looked up at Chen Jin, interrupted Teacher He, and told everyone to eat quickly because they had to go home for a nap at noon. Teacher He didn't notice anything wrong, thinking that since they were already colleagues, there was still a long way to go and he could ask later.
After dinner, Chen Jin said goodbye to everyone and went to the fruit shop to buy two bags of fruit.
She has a big appetite for fruits. Since moving into the small western-style building, she has come to this fruit shop frequently to buy fruits, and she buys a lot every time. The proprietress of the shop was impressed by her. After weighing the food and paying the bill, she gave her a handful of longan as a bonus.
"Is your school going to have a holiday?"
"We are ready. Some colleges will be later, and some students have gone home."
When students go on vacation, at least half of the shops on both sides of Wutong Road will be closed.
Lan Meiying said she wanted to set up a small stall near the school. She went to the Normal University, where there were more girls. When the holidays come, I don’t know where she will move to set up her stall.
After taking a nap, Chen Jin went to work at 2:30 in the afternoon. She dawdled until 2:10 before leaving the house. It took her only six minutes from getting in the car from her home to starting it and parking it in front of the college building. The remaining four minutes were enough for her to walk to the office.
When she arrived, she only saw Teacher Mo there. She was so scared that she thought Teacher Chang and the others were called to a meeting. But soon, Zhou Ding also arrived.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
These are all the "aftereffects" of her internship at Cheng Group. She was an intern at the time and people didn't have high expectations of her. But it’s different for formal employees. Chen Jin has often heard Sister Ming, with whom he often gossips, say that sometimes the leader will arrive at the company early and ask everyone to go to a meeting, and those who arrive late will be criticized.
She was a little hesitant about whether to come earlier in the future, but when she saw that Teacher Chang and Teacher He arrived more than 20 minutes later, and when Teacher Chang and Teacher He told her and Zhou Ding, "If there is nothing special, you can just come before three o'clock," she felt relieved.
She made the right choice for this job!
In the afternoon, Teacher Chang took the two newcomers to meet the leaders and said that there would be a college staff meeting at the end of the semester, and they would be introduced to everyone in public at that time.
Chen Jin imagined the scene. Many of her professional teachers were sitting in the audience, which suddenly reminded her of her graduation thesis defense. Fortunately, there were no questions this time, so she didn't have to worry about not being able to answer.
After working for three consecutive days, Chen Jin has completely adapted to the working hours. He is quite happy when he goes out every day, humming little songs, swinging his key chain, and taking a leisurely walk.
The teaching work of the School of Arts this semester has come to an end with the final exams. Chen Jin went to help Teacher Chang prepare materials, which are to be sent to the students who are currently in their third year and are about to become seniors.
Teacher Chang took over this class of students midway through and currently only recognizes a small number of them. Several classes did not hold separate class meetings, but instead held a unified grade meeting.
Chen Jin followed Teacher Chang to learn from him, from determining the time, place, and content of the meeting, to writing the meeting content draft, instructing the class committees of each class to do the notification work... every little thing has a lot of knowledge, and Chen Jin felt that he had learned a lot. It seemed that the job of a counselor was not that simple.
Holding meetings is not a difficult task. For example, now a student submitted an application to leave school, and his destination was neither Rong City nor his hometown, but Beijing. The student said he wanted to go out and have a look during the summer vacation. Well, if students want to go out and have a look, the counselor has to ask around, call the student's parents to confirm, and ask about the student's itinerary...
She feels that students' parents are quite casual. When they hear their children say they want to go out, they will say yes. The counselors are more worried than the parents.
Because the student is a boy, Teacher Chang feels much more at ease. But when I saw that the destination the girl applied to leave school was her classmate's home, I found out that it was a small town in another province. And when I asked the girl, her parents didn't know about it. Teacher Chang refused to approve the female student's application and immediately called the student's parents.
The parent became more concerned and immediately said he would contact his daughter and ask her to come home.
Teacher Chang saw her listening attentively while poking her notebook with a pen, and smiled helplessly, "Do you think it's trivial and different from what you thought?"
Chen Jin nodded, "It's a little different. I used to think the counselor was a village chief, but I didn't expect it to be a mediator from the street office."
Teacher Chang smiled and said, "You are right in understanding it this way."
After working for a few days, Teacher Chang also realized that Chen Jin and Zhou Ding were completely different situations. The reason why Zhou Ding is quiet may not be entirely due to his personality, but also due to Mr. Mo’s “exclusion”. But this involved the internal affairs of the current college leadership, and he could not interfere. He could only advise Zhou Ding not to think too much about it, and to go to work. Since there was no handover yet, he should just watch and learn more.
Chen Jin was different from Zhou Ding. He was curious and asked questions about everything he saw. He was not afraid of the leaders of the college and answered them openly. But he saw that Chen Jin didn't think about showing off in front of the leaders. He guessed that Chen Jin was probably just looking for a job. She was not like them. Without this job, she could just go home and lie down.
If you have confidence and a way out, you can relax in doing anything and will never exhaust yourself.
For example, Mr. Mo wanted to take advantage of the fact that he had worked for a few more years and asked Chen Jin to fetch water for him.
If this was a normal tone and something that happened between colleagues, he believed that Chen Jin would not refuse. But Teacher Mo has an air of being bossy, and if you don't know him, you might think he is the leader of this office.
Chen Jin said, "Oh," and said, "Do your own thing. I don't think Teacher Mo has anything to do."
After saying that, he walked out of the office briskly.
There was silence in the office, followed by Teacher Mo's dissatisfied snort. After Chen Jin came back with the water, he was talking to himself in a sarcastic tone. Chen Jin was busy with his own things and completely ignored Teacher Mo.
Teacher Chang was secretly happy, finally there was a piece of iron plate to discipline Teacher Mo! Do you think he can control others? ! The last teacher who resigned was because he was squeezed out by him and he didn't want to stay anymore, so he resigned to start a business. He and Teacher He came earlier, but only one year earlier than Teacher Mo, and he was often tricked by this guy.
When he was teaching Chen Jin, Teacher Chang heard Qin Xuemei, who lived in Chen Jin's dormitory, complain that Chen Jin scolded his roommates and classmates in the dormitory. Later, he asked someone to verify and found out that Chen Jin only targeted Qin Xuemei because Qin Xuemei had done something excessive. At that time, he felt that this student had a stubborn temper.
Now...it's good to have a strong temper!
He also reminded Chen Jin to be more gentle in the office.
Chen Jin said at the time: "No, I just got here, I can't be so soft-tempered." She was familiar with this kind of thing, having experienced it in high school and college. She had to make her bottom line clear from the beginning and let others know that she was not someone who would be bullied, which could save her a lot of trouble.
So Teacher Chang didn’t mention it again later.
People still stand up straight and speak with confidence.
After a week at work, Chen Jin found that few people called her "Teacher Chen" anymore, but "Xiao Chen" instead.
The college faculty and staff meeting was held on the last day of this week. Two new teachers, Chen Jin and Zhou Ding, stood on the podium and introduced themselves.
Chen Jin looked down and saw that the teachers from their School of Arts were sitting two rows away. They looked at her with kind eyes, as if they were saying that their child was finally becoming successful.
Chen Jin sighed. When school starts and she goes to them with various problems from her students, she wonders if the teachers will still remember their kindness at this moment.
