New Friends
On Chen Jin's first day back at work, he was busy thanking people. When I met an acquaintance in the hallway, they would basically say, “Congratulations, Teacher Chen.”
When I was holding a meeting with students, I was cheered by them. But it didn't matter. As soon as Chen Jin talked about work and graduation, they were no longer in the mood to make a fuss, and there were many bitter faces below.
It’s a new semester, and there are new things happening in the college.
"Wu Kai resigned and said he was going to start a business." Teacher He came back jogging, and his face was flushed with excitement as soon as he arrived at the office. "I just heard it outside the dean's office. He came here today to resign!"
"Really?!" everyone else in the office asked in unison.
"Really! I even asked a teacher from the psychology department, and he confirmed it!" Teacher He was very excited. She said, coming to work is definitely more lively than staying at home!
Teacher He looked at Chen Jin and asked, "Is business very profitable? I think Wu Kai might have been stimulated by you."
Although there are no TV dramas this year, Baiyou is still in great demand. As soon as a new model is released, people rush to buy it; some signature styles are even sold out.
Not to mention other places, Baiyou has made a name for itself in Rong City.
Chen Jin is surrounded by flowers, not to mention Wu Kai, she is also jealous. But she didn't have a big family background, so she couldn't afford to do anything, and she didn't dare to take such risks.
"Of course there is a way to make money. Who would think of doing business if there is no way to make money? However, now is definitely not as good as it was ten years ago. It is really hard to say whether you can make money. Look at the past few years, there have been waves of people who have taken unpaid leave from their jobs to start businesses. Only a few of them really make money. Most of them don't make any money and go back to shore."
I’m afraid that even if I want to get ashore, I may not be able to do so. Now that you're gone, even if you could go back, what good job would it be? Overthinking.
The changes outside are happening in waves, and whoever can catch the trend will reap the benefits. But if you are unlucky and have no way out, and you blindly follow the trend and go into business, you are basically doomed to be ripped off.
Even her uncle said that timing is sometimes more important than hard work. He also said that if he and his aunt had not started early, they would not have been able to make it later.
Chen Jin agreed with this statement very much. For example, if she hadn't been lucky enough to buy the land she has now, would she be thinking about starting a company and doing business now? Even if you increase the invested capital tenfold, it may not be enough.
But there was no need to say more of these words, lest people think she was taking advantage of them.
"It's good that he wants to do business." Chen Jin smiled and said, "Finally, I don't have to see him in the academy anymore. Otherwise, it would affect my mood at work."
I came to work happily, but as soon as I entered the gate of the college office building, I saw a quack quack. Oh!
But Chen Jin didn't expect that when she went downstairs to the administrative building, she would meet Wu Kai who was moving his personal belongings away.
"Teacher Chen, maybe we can be partners in the future. Please leave me your contact information."
Chen Jin glanced at him and said, "Let's talk about it someday when you have a conversation with the uncle who guards the gate of our company."
"Others go to sea to ride the wind and waves, but you don't want to be beaten to death on the shore, otherwise it will be a joke. I wish you success."
Wu Kai gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be so sure. It will be hard to say in the future."
"Well, it's hard to say what will happen in the future, but it's easy to say what's happening now. You don't look like someone the God of Wealth would like."
Chen Jin laughed, and suddenly thought of his uncle's sigh one day: Our third sister looks like the God of Wealth's biological daughter.
Wu Kai was so angry that he clenched his fists and wanted to walk towards Chen Jin, but Chu Qi suddenly appeared next to him and stared at him: You want to fight? Stay away from me!
"Oh, so? He even brought a bodyguard with him on his last shift."
"You don't understand the pain of rich people. If you make a lot of money and need to hire a security guard, you can come to me and I can recommend one for you."
After Chen Jin finished speaking, he called Chu Qi to go together.
Chu Qi looked back and saw that the person hadn't caught up with him, but he looked very angry, as if his head was about to burst into flames.
She had followed Chen Jin to school and had often seen this man talking to Chen Jin about all sorts of things, but each time he was blocked by Chen Jin and she had to show her head every time to get scolded.
This person really seems to be crazy and his brain is not normal.
"Next Monday, I'm going to choose a room. Are you brothers free? Bring two more people with you. I'm afraid they'll start a fight again. It's okay for them to fight, but it's not okay if they hit me."
"Okay, I'll find a few strangers to go with me."
It’s Qiaoxi Village again. The boss was really wise not to attend their village meeting last time. They started fighting for no apparent reason, and it was said that the cause was just a cup.
Because Wu Kai resigned and started his own business, a new teacher came. This time it was a female teacher who was particularly good-looking. Chen Jin even pretended to have something to do with the psychology teacher and went to see what she looked like.
"How is it?" Teacher He asked quickly when he saw her come back.
"I saw a fairy." Chen Jin laughed.
The annoying guy left and a fairy came. Seeing someone who is good-looking, gentle and generous will definitely make you feel better!
This class is more meaningful.
Shen Baichuan saw that she was not very happy to go to work on the first day of school, but in the following days, she became happier day by day.
When asked the reason, they said that there was a new female teacher in the college who looked like a fairy.
"Just because of this?"
"Isn't this enough?!"
"By the way, school has started for a week and I haven't seen Yang Qian. What is she doing at home? Ask your good brother Zhuo Jiyu."
Shen Baichuan is married now, so how could he dare to call Zhuo Jiyu casually. He would not do anything that would harm the enemy by a thousand and destroy his own eight hundred.
Chen Jin stretched out in bed, and just as he was about to get up, he suddenly realized something was wrong, why didn’t Shen Baichuan get up and go for a run this morning?
Oh, today is Saturday.
He fell back, and his head, which had been completely awake just now, was instantly filled with sleepiness. "I'll sleep a little longer."
Seeing that she had rolled up the quilt, Shen Baichuan reminded her, “I have an appointment with the decoration company to come over in the morning to discuss the house renovation, and you still have to go out to have dinner with Aunt Zhao and the others in the afternoon.”
Chen Jin has already covered his ears. How could there be something going on during the weekend?
Shen Baichuan didn't urge her to get up now. When I finished washing up and left the room, I went to the small living room first and took a look, but Daju was not there.
After going downstairs, I saw the big orange cat on the sofa. It was lying with its four paws facing the sky on the fluffy pillow that Chen Jin had just bought, and its tail was gently wagging.
He then opened the front and back doors, and as soon as he went out, he met Aunt He who was coming back from buying groceries.
This time, Aunt He no longer had to quietly remind him to be aware of the impact.
At ten o'clock in the morning, people from the decoration company arrived on time.
Professionals do their professional work. Some are responsible for taking measurements of the house, some are responsible for communicating with the property management of the community, and some are responsible for understanding the two of them's needs for the house.
Today is just a preliminary communication. Later, we will have to come up with a design plan based on the actual situation, and it must be reviewed by the Planning Bureau before we can start construction...
It is a bit troublesome, but it will only be troublesome for a while. The key is to live well in the future.
"It's OK if we just open it up, there's not much to dismantle."
Maybe it wouldn't take as long as she thought, and she was even more satisfied.
"The decoration company opened by He Feiyang is quite reliable. I can still find him next time."
All in all, her department store, company and now her home have all looked for He Feiyang, which is already several orders. She still trusted He Feiyang and was not afraid that he would cheat her.
Those who can bring mutual benefits are the ones worth making friends with.
After seeing off the people from the decoration company, Chen Jin went upstairs to change clothes, and then went out to eat with Shen Baichuan.
At noon, Shen Baichuan was dragged by her to the beauty salon. But Shen Baichuan was experienced this time, so he only accompanied her here and did not follow her on the project.
You can take a nap in the beauty salon and stop by the makeup store next door to put on some makeup before going to your appointment.
This itinerary was perfectly arranged.
"Then Chu Qi and I will go over there. No need to pick me up. I will go home after I finish here."
Shen Baichuan didn’t fully agree, and said, “It depends on the situation. I’ll go to Cheng Group to find Qin Yi. Call me first when it’s over.”
"Oh." Chen Jin nodded and joked, "Are you not afraid that Aunt Zhao and I will go somewhere else?"
Shen Baichuan raised his eyebrows and said, “My uncle said, don’t think you can mess around outside just because you have money. If you dare to mess around, your legs will be broken.”
Chen Jinle smiled, "If it ends early, I'll call you again. Let's go."
After watching Chen Jin go to the restaurant opposite Aunt Zhao’s house, Shen Baichuan turned around and went to Cheng Group.
"Xiao Jin is here, come and sit here."
As soon as Chen Jin came in, he saw several familiar faces. Two of them were the older sisters who had taken makeup classes with him before, and there were a few others he had seen with Aunt Zhao, as well as Aunt Fan whose family owned Wanmin Plaza.
It was much better than she thought. After all, there were a few girls here who were about her age. After Aunt Zhao introduced them, I realized that they were all daughters or relatives of these older sisters and aunts.
Chu Qi told her that she would wait at the door, and Chen Jin felt at ease.
"I heard that you and Mr. Shen got married. When are you going to hold the wedding? You have to send us an invitation then."
"I haven't figured out the date yet. I'll send the invitations to the elder sisters once it's confirmed."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for your invitation." Aunt Zhao pulled her to sit next to her and said with a smile, "I don't have a daughter myself, but I envy Xiao Jin so much. Your mother raised you so well."
"Yes." Chen Jin nodded in agreement.
Her mother raised her really well.
Chen Jin was only relatively familiar with Aunt Zhao, and the others were just average. She had thought that those of similar age might be able to go together, but she was busy chatting with the older sisters and had no chance to talk to anyone else.
Aunt Fan talked to her about Jinshun Department Store. Jinshun Department Store and Wanmin Plaza are not really rivals. It’s not that she thinks they are superior to others, but Jinshun Department Store is not good enough to be their rivals.
Since we are not rivals, the conversation is much calmer and we can exchange ideas.
Moreover, Baiyou and Lemei now have rented storefronts in Wanmin to open stores. Wanmin Square in Dongcheng District is about to officially open, and Baiyou and Lemei will continue to move in...
Everyone else wanted to chat with Chen Jin about Jin Shun.
They were all curious about how Chen Jin suddenly built up the company. I heard that Chen Jin has a backer, but it is definitely not the Cheng Group.
The source of this rumor is not clear. It is impossible that Chen Jin can be promoted as a model of an outstanding entrepreneur just because of her company.
Aunt Zhao and Aunt Fan knew a rough idea of it. They heard that Chen Jin had donated a lot of money. They just felt that Chen Jin had a long-term vision and was worth interacting with.
There was also an acquaintance of Chen Jin present, that was Zhang Sihua, who had accompanied her mother to the dinner hosted by Professor Song before. She came out to play with her aunt today.
When she saw Chen Jin come in, she was stunned for a moment, but because of that, she missed the opportunity to say hello, and then she was just busy listening to the elders chatting with Chen Jin.
After finally finding a free time, Chen Jin went to sit opposite Zhang Sihua, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I finally have a friend I know."
I heard that Zhang Sihua has now gone to the Foreign Trade Bureau, and Lemei from Chen Jin's company has recently won a lot of overseas orders, and I can really talk a lot with Zhang Sihua.
"I didn't expect that you started a company now." Zhang Sihua's impression of Chen Jin still remains in that crushing confrontation. Her mother's student is still studying for a doctorate, and I heard that they have been going through a divorce for half a year.
At first glance, I thought Chen Jin was gentle and kind. Later, I thought she was a person with a temper and personality, but I never thought that Chen Jin would ever go into business.
He really doesn't look like a businessman.
As soon as she expressed her thoughts, Chen Jin said, "No, I'm still a counselor in school."
Zhang Sihua was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't know why, but I still think that the role of counselor suits you best."
"Maybe it's because I seem to be a gossiper." Chen Jin joked, "Being a counselor is pretty good."
"Really? Being with students can make you feel much better. It's good to be a university teacher, so you don't have to worry about students' troubles." Zhang Sihua sighed and said, "I wanted to stay in school to teach, but I didn't make it. In the end, I went to the Foreign Trade Bureau."
"As a counselor, you still have to deal with students' troubles. However, the Foreign Trade Bureau is also very good. Many people want to go there but can't."
Chen Jin said as he took out his business card and said, "Leave me your contact information so we can hang out together when we have time."
"That incident before... well, I didn't feel like hanging out with you afterwards, and I didn't run into you at school anymore."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Just call me next time." Zhang Sihua quickly wrote down the number for her.
The two of them had a great chat, and soon other people of similar age came over.
They saw that Chen Jin only talked about work and business with their elders, and thought that there was nothing to talk about with Chen Jin. As a result, when they arrived, Chen Jin knew much more than them which street in Rong City was the most worth shopping for clothes and where the afternoon tea was the best.
"You work and run a company, how can you still have so much time to go out and find delicious food?"
His tone was full of admiration. It is said that successful people make good use of time. Chen Jin seemed to have forty-eight hours in a day.
"My friends recommended it to me. I've been to all the places I mentioned. They're really delicious. Let's go out and eat together next time when we have time."
"Okay! Hey, leave me your contact information."
"Being a counselor must be interesting, right?" Otherwise, why would you leave your company behind and work as a counselor?
Chen Jin smiled and said, "It's OK. It's quite lively sometimes."
"lively?"
"It's just a lot of gossip."
"......"
Chen Jin stayed for half the afternoon, ate three desserts, drank two drinks, and after chatting with the older sisters, he chatted with the younger sisters of similar age.
The more we talked, the more our eyes curved into a smile.
We didn’t go out to eat together in the evening and I declined the suggestion of my new friends to go out for dinner.
"Oh, yes! Your husband said he would come pick you up, right? It's like that when you're newly married, we understand. You have to come out and play some other day."
"good!"
Chen Jin felt that the word "husband" was quite hot to the tongue. Anyway, she had never called him that before. She actually felt awkward when she heard others calling him "your husband" all the time.
It seems that we haven’t been married long enough.
As soon as Shen Baichuan arrived, Chen Jin got into his car directly and gave his own car to Chu Qi to drive back.
"You made new friends again?"
"Yeah. There's an old friend here too." Chen Jin said, "I've found that I've made more and more friends since I graduated."
My previous friends are Ling Yun and Lin Xinran.
She sighed and said, "As I get better, I will have more friends," and stopped worrying about it.
On the way back, she called out "Shen Baichuan" many times, but after Shen Baichuan responded to her, he didn't say anything.
I heard her say, "It's easier to call you by your name."
"What's the weird thing to shout?"
"Hehe, I won't tell you." Chen Jin rolled down the car window, and the moist wind from outside blew in.
"Ah, Hui Nan Tian is coming."
The return of the south wind is coming, and the resettlement housing will be available soon.
When Chen Jin returned home, he remembered that he forgot to ask for leave when he went to work on Friday, so he picked a time that was neither too early nor too late to call Vice President Sun to report his leave.
"Ask for leave? Sure. By the way, Mr. Chen, you mentioned earlier that you wanted to hold a job fair. When are you going to hold it? Will it be held in the lecture hall of our college?"
Chen Jin replied with "Let me ask", then called the company's human resources department and asked them to contact the human resources managers of her uncle's companies as soon as possible to finalize the plan.
"By the way, don't forget Boss Shen's Baichuan Technology."
After Chen Jin finished the call, he asked for credit and said to Shen Baichuan: “Look, I said I didn’t forget, right? Shen Dashui.”
"Why not Shen Dahai?"
"...Fulfill your wish. Shen Dahai."
Chen Jin smiled and threw himself on Shen Baichuan, pinched his ears, and said, “Your earlobes are a little easy to pinch, like my grandmother’s ears. My mother said that when I was a child, I would not fall asleep until I pinched my grandmother’s ears.”
Shen Baichuan laughed, and he asked why she always came to pick his ears before going to bed, and when she fell asleep, she wanted to kick him under the bed as if they were in a war.
Chen Jin buried his head in his neck and took a deep breath, then said, "Your clothes also smell like oranges."
Now he and she wash clothes together every day, and they use the laundry detergent and toiletries selected by her. Moreover, she has recently become obsessed with the scent of oranges, and everything smells like oranges.
Not only did his clothes smell like oranges, his entire body looked like a giant orange.
On Monday, Chen Jin took "Big Orange" Shen Baichuan and Daju and set off for Qiaoxi Village together.
Chu Qi also set off, and asked the fellow apprentices who were called to go to the new building in Qiaoxi Village and wait first.
Although the houses are now under Chen Jin's name, there are still shares for his three uncles and aunt, which will have to be transferred when the time comes.
Her three uncles and her aunt all said they wanted to go together and set off earlier than her. By the time she arrived at Qiaoxi Village, they had already arrived. There were also a few tall and strong fellow disciples that Chu Qi called over.
There is an office here, but people are sitting and waiting in the open space outside.
There is no way, there are too many people in Qiaoxi Village and there is no room inside.
The former Qiaoxi Village was divided into two, one fifth of which was used as resettlement housing for Qiaoxi Village, and is now called Qiaoxi New Village. The remaining four-fifths are commercial housing sold to the public, which is called the Science and Technology Park Community.
Although it is divided into two communities, the buildings and community infrastructure of Qiaoxi New Village are not bad.
However, if they were to sell the property to the public, they would definitely not be able to sell it at the price of the Science and Technology Park.
People will think that this is just a village gathering place, and the price will drop sharply.
It would be great if it could be rented out. The targets of leasing are basically workers and white-collar workers in industrial parks and science and technology parks.
Uncle Wenhao, who I haven't seen for a long time, is here, but he doesn't have much to say today. Also here today is the leader of the Public Security Bureau, who is here specifically to keep an eye on things, fearing that someone will cause trouble.
Chen Jin said: "Big villages are different. The Public Security Bureau is here."
Aunt Fat, who I hadn't seen for a long time, had a happy face, but when she talked about the Public Security Bureau, her tone was not so cheerful.
"This is not a good thing. There are too many things going on in our village. The public security bureau doesn't trust us."
The last gang fight had a bad impact and many people were taken to the police station.
Uncle Wenhao glanced at Aunt Pang indifferently, with a look in his eyes that said: You know that too!
The Public Security Bureau guards against disturbances in Qiaoxi Village as if they were bandits.
"Wow, this old man, how come he has aged so much?" Chen Jin asked in surprise.
Auntie Pang followed Chen Jin's gaze and looked at Old Man Liu. She sneered and said, "Why else? It's just the filial son and grandson making trouble."
"I don't know what these old people are after? Are they afraid that they will live too long and are looking for someone to piss them off? They have so many things in their hands, and they haven't even distributed all the leftovers. Can what they are holding be wealth? They are holding death warrants!"
Chen Jin gave Auntie Pang a thumbs up and praised her, "You are still very clear-headed. I think you are the most sober in the entire Qiaoxi Village."
"That's it! Let me tell you..."
