next time
This meal has lasted nearly two and a half hours since everyone came in. The guests at the surrounding tables changed, and after dinner time, the tables on the first floor gradually became empty.
This group of people still feel that they have not yet achieved their goal. Chen Jin looked at the people who were still chatting, and glanced at her watch. It was time to disperse at this time. Was everyone as free as she was?
Among Shen Baichuan's three friends, his cousin Qin Yi is not mentioned. When introducing himself, he said very frankly: "I am just a small leader in my grandfather's company. I don't want to suffer the hardship of work. As for making money, it's still up to the three of them."
After saying that, he pointed at Shen Baichuan and Shen Baichuan’s other two friends.
He looks quite proud.
Sure enough, people who have money but don’t want to make progress do live a happy life. Just look at Qin Yi.
If it were her, she wouldn't be able to do it. She is more or less ambitious.
Shen Baichuan's other two friends are also interesting. One is a friend he met when he was studying abroad. His family is engaged in foreign trade and export. His name is Xue Zhonghua, which sounds very patriotic.
There is also a man whose family works in medical equipment. He is the friend who can eat a lot as Shen Baichuan said. He is a little fat and his name is Xiong Jiahao. Because he is the second child in the family, he has always been called Xiong Er. This person is the child of a friend of Shen Baichuan's grandfather in Rong City... There are quite a lot of connections. When Shen Baichuan specifically asked her to go to the front desk to add more dishes, he also mentioned it a few more times, but it confused her.
Not to mention her friends here, she and Nie Rong are in quite frequent contact now, and she often calls to tell him about the news of Qiaoxi Village. But the relationship with Wei Zhenhua was just average, and we only had one meal together. Jiang Ze, his colleague and friend, is a know-it-all. No matter what is said, he can always connect with the conversation. He speaks cheerfully and talks a lot, but it doesn't make people feel disgusted.
Chen Jin stood up to pay the bill, and Shen Baichuan followed him.
"It's my treat, don't try to grab it." Chen Jin carefully checked the bill first, then took money out of his bag to pay the bill, and said proudly: "My income has been increasing recently, so I can still afford to treat you."
This seafood restaurant also offers good value for money, much more cost-effective than the seafood buffet she had eaten at Wanmin Square in Xicheng District before, and the food tastes better. Shen Baichuan knows a lot of restaurants!
I can treat him to a meal next time.
Shen Baichuan glanced at the busiest table in the corner across from him and sighed helplessly, who knew that this would be the effect when he and her friends got together? They are both very talkative, and once they start talking they always talk about anything else. They probably have already forgotten about him and Chen Jin who asked them to come out today.
"They are quite talkative. Next time I invite them out for dinner, I'll ask them to be more restrained."
Chen Jin raised the corner of his mouth. Are you planning your next meal now?
But it’s not impossible.
"It's about the same. My third brother and my other two friends are about the same." Chen Jin smiled and said, "I think it's not bad. Listening to them talk about the development of Rong City is really an eye-opener for me."
Everyone has different positions and works in different industries, so they have different opinions, and they are all very fresh.
"To be honest, I really like listening to my friends talk about their work. Unfortunately, I still have a few friends who are at their busiest on weekends and don't have time to come out."
"We can have dinner together next time if we are free."
"Okay, I'll let you recommend a restaurant next time. By the way, where did you find so many delicious restaurants? To be honest, if no one had recommended this restaurant, I wouldn't have come in just by looking at the sign and decoration outside. I didn't expect it to be so delicious..."
Shen Baichuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how much we chat, the meal will have to end. It is true that not everyone is free and everyone still has to get busy with their own work.
Chen Jin plans to go back to Hanlin Garden tonight and then go to Sifang Travel Agency with his third cousin. Since he and Jiang Weiguo were both back and she was free, they wanted to hold a staff meeting to discuss their next plans. As one of the four bosses, Chen Jin still has to show up when he is free.
Chen Jin first and Shen Baichuan watched his friends leave one by one.
"Teacher Chen, let's go to Brother Chuan's house for dinner and talk about this next time."
After sending his friend off, Chen Jin said, "Wait a minute, I'll go talk to my third brother and I'll take you back."
"No, I'll take a taxi." Shen Baichuan stopped her, "Didn't your third brother say that your travel agency will have a meeting later? You... Anyway, you don't have to work tomorrow, Sunday, so you can stay at Hanlin Garden. There's a new restaurant opened in Wanmin Square. Xiong Er and I went there some time ago. You can go and try it."
His suggestion was a good one, as she really had no plan to go back to the villa today. It would be so embarrassing if the excitement at the small Western-style building didn't end. It's not that she's embarrassed, someone has to be embarrassed after all. Come to think of it, there’s no need to worry about it, so I’d better not continue to cause trouble for Professor Song.
After struggling for a while, he said seriously, "Thank you for today."
Shen Baichuan nodded and said with a smile: "Next time there is a lot of fun, just call me." He raised the business card in his hand, "It's just right, with your friend's help to make connections, the land in Qiaoxi Village will be much better."
"I'm glad I can help."
After she finished speaking, Shen Baichuan stopped a taxi and said, “Let’s go.”
Watching the yellow taxi disappear at the end of Tai'an Road and turn onto the nearby Guxi Road... Chen Jin looked up at the big tree with lush branches and leaves, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
Looking forward to the next meal.
After everyone had left, Chen Jin turned around and went back. His third cousin, Nie Rong, Wei Zhenhua, and Jiang Ze were still there.
Wei Zhenhua put the business card in his pocket and said, "Chen Jin, thank you. I'll treat you to dinner next time."
"Well, I'm just offering you something." Chen Jin waved his hand. "Don't think too much. I have selfish motives too. I originally wanted to find a few people to have dinner together so that we can have more food. By the way, I wanted my eldest and second brothers to get in touch with you, but I didn't expect they were busy. You don't have to invite me alone. If you invite me alone, I don't know what I can talk about with you. Next time Ling Yun comes back, just invite both of us."
Since she was being frank, Wei Zhenhua didn't bother to be polite with her. "Okay, we'll call you when Ling Yun comes back some other day. Or, if your elder brother is free, you can help set up a dinner for us friends."
Chen Jin said that she wanted her elder brother and second brother to come over to meet some people, and I guess they are also in the family business.
Lingyun's friend is really a low-key person. They just invited Shen Baichuan to come for a casual dinner. Shen Baichuan also brought a few friends. All of them said that they were uneducated and had only a little background at home. They looked at the business card. Wow, they are all the best in their respective fields in the province...
After a meal, we could barely be considered friends. There is no need to say anything else. After greeting them, Chen Jin took Daju, who was sleeping on the chair, with him to Sifang Travel Agency.
Wei Zhenhua and Jiang Ze went to get a ride in Nie Rong's car. As soon as they got in, Jiang Ze leaned forward and said to Wei Zhenhua, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Wei Ke, who is your friend?"
It was Nie Rong who called them over, and Nie Rong was called by the girl named "Chen Jin". But Chen Jin just asked everyone to introduce themselves at the beginning, and then invited everyone to eat. After that, she just buried her head in eating. She had the most shrimp shells piled up in her place. She just listened the whole time and didn't say a word... He always felt that this was a powerful person, so he quietly observed her reaction from time to time...
Apart from eating, he just slurps fruit tea...I can't figure it out.
Nie Rong laughed and said, "My usual job is to be a counselor at Nanjing University, and my hidden identity is a celebrity in a village on the outskirts of Nancheng District."
This made Jiang Ze even more confused.
Wei Zhenhua glanced at him and asked, "You and Chen Jin have such a good relationship now?"
Today, Nie Rong suddenly called him, and as soon as he answered, he said: Chen Jin invited Shen Baichuan to dinner, the Shen Baichuan he knew, and asked him to come quickly...
If it weren't for this meal, he really wouldn't have known that Nie Rong and Chen Jin were now so close that they could call each other "Sister Jin".
"I was in Qiaoxi Village after the New Year. It just so happened that Chen Jin had a house there, and her grandfather's family was also in Qiaoxi Village, so we met in the village. Later, we exchanged information and contacted each other more often. Sister Jin is now a major client that I am planning to develop, so we have to keep in touch often."
"You are such a busy person. I can't find you even if I want to. Where can I talk to you?"
Nie Rong spoke in a hurry, and then said, "I saw Sister Jin and Shen Baichuan coming to the village the day before yesterday, and I casually mentioned it to her to help make the connection. How is it? Isn't that a good brother? He's still helping you with the investment promotion at this time... Don't mention it, I thought Shen Baichuan just had some relationship with the Cheng Group, but I didn't expect the relationship to be so deep. Cheng Yuanqing is his real grandfather..."
"Oh, I've gone off topic. I thought there was no hope for this matter." After all, Shen Baichuan was known to be difficult to talk to in their law firm. Who knows, "Today she suddenly called me and said that she invited Shen Baichuan to dinner and asked me to call you. When I thought about it, how could you get the dinner party that Sister Jin had finally arranged? It's hard to say whether there will be this opportunity in the future."
He was overthinking it. It looked like Sister Jin and Shen Baichuan were quite familiar with each other and seemed like good friends. It wouldn't be a problem to organize a dinner party for them next time.
Sister Jin is such a modest person. She just casually said "friend, neighbor" and he thought they were just ordinary friends. Who would have thought! This average friend also brought other “average” friends.
Wei Zhenhua sighed. Nie Rong still seemed a bit out of touch. However, he had to be lucky. He could take this opportunity to meet more people and expand his big customer resources in the future.
Many people in the compound laughed at him for being so busy with his law firm that he moved to the village. They thought it was not decent and would not sound good if it were spread out to others. Little do people know that when they get rich, they won’t go out and brag about it. It’s enough for them to just know the benefits themselves.
"Anyway, thank you today. I haven't forgotten you, brother. If your old man scolds you next time, I will speak up for you."
Nie Rong chuckled twice and said hurriedly, "Don't do that. You and the others must not speak up for me. If you come to speak up, my old man will scold me even more vigorously."
As for what he was scolding, he could guess it without using his brain. It was nothing more than: Look at Zhenhua, Lingyun and the others, they have all made achievements in their units, and then look at you, you are busy with your law firm, but I haven't seen any achievements. I don't understand, why do you have to go out and set up a law firm? Isn't the court good enough? ......
That's his father's idea. He thinks public institutions are better and all others are capitalist. You can't say it directly to them, otherwise, if you open your mouth, they will refute you with more than a dozen words.
His parents didn't say anything, the old man was the most enthusiastic, who could refute him?
That means he is filial. What if you change it to Sister Jin being his granddaughter?
Thinking of this, he smiled foolishly again. It was exciting just to think about it. He felt that someone in their compound would be angry every few days.
—
Chen Jin followed him to Sifang Travel Agency, then sat at the edge of the first row and attended the travel agency's staff meeting. Now they have spacious offices and various departments. Although some departments have only one or two people, at least the team has been set up. It is only a matter of time before they continue to grow bigger and stronger.
Chen Jin has not yet gotten the night school class information for Huang Hao, but it is too late to sign up for the exam in the first half of the year, so he can only wait until the second half of the year.
"I'm also planning to enroll in a night university class. Wait for me to collect some information. I wonder if Nanyang Technological University has a tourism management course. If so, would it be better for you to study this?"
Seeing that his third cousin, Jiang Weiguo, and Huang Hao all shook their heads in confusion, Chen Jin knew that he couldn't expect them to give any answers. "Then you guys wait a little longer. I'll collect more information, and then we can analyze it together."
Jiang Weiguo is now so dark that he is almost like a piece of charcoal. Only his eyes and teeth are the brightest. When he smiles, the color of his skin makes his teeth look particularly shiny.
"Third sister, our makeshift team depends on your brainpower. Look, even you who graduated from college still need to continue studying. I told the three of us to study harder, but the other two said no. Especially your third brother..."
Huang Hao rolled his eyes: I don’t know who it was, he insisted that I don’t need to learn it.
That's really a joke. She is at most a data collector. If she really has to come to a travel agency to work with her brain, she is afraid that she will destroy the entire travel agency.
"I have to study. What I learned before is not enough." I didn't know before that college is not the end. There is a huge difference between majors. This was the shortcoming of my previous lack of knowledge. Everyone in my family thought that girls should just study liberal arts majors.
Especially Chen Lu and the other two are now making the organization flourish. And listening to the topics and perspectives discussed by those people at dinner today, I feel that I am now a frog in a well. I still need to listen more, learn more, and observe more.
"By the way, don't you two still have to lead tours out? Do you have time to study? This study requires exams, and the teachers are strict. You can't take leave casually. If you take leave too many times, it will affect the normal completion of the course, and you won't be able to get the certificate." The second cousin is busy as hell during the day, but he still goes to study at night without fail.
"Starting from the second half of the year, we won't go out anymore. There are too many things to do in the company, and Huang Hao can't handle it all by himself." Jiang Weiguo said jokingly, "Third sister, why don't you quit your job at school and come to work here."
Huang Hao looked over when he heard that.
"No, we agreed before that I will only be in charge of investment matters. If there is more investment in the future, I will follow, but I will not come to the travel agency." Chen Jin waved his hand.
Big Orange seems to like this pink and green place very much. He followed her obediently last time he came, but now he runs around by himself. He clearly heard her calling him, but pretended not to hear him and continued to run around in the front yard.
When the third cousin saw her angrily about to catch the cat, he tried to stop her and said with a smile: "Weren't you like this when you were a child? You covered your ears and ran around the village." The second aunt was so angry that she wanted to catch her and teach her a lesson, but her parents stopped her and said it was okay to run around the village. As expected, it’s a cat raised by my third sister. Its temperament and personality are exactly the same.
So Chen Jin stayed at Sifang Travel Agency until his third cousin got off work, and then went back together.
Huang Hao wants to borrow his third cousin's car to pick up a business partner tomorrow, so his third cousin can only go home in her car.
As soon as he got in the car, he rolled his eyes around, "I haven't ridden in your car for a long time. After looking around, I still think your car is the best."
He still remembers clearly what his third sister said when he accompanied her to buy a car and brought it home: “Third brother, I feel like I am the richest person in the world now.”
Chen Jin heard him sigh out of nowhere, "One should be content with what one has."
The next second, someone caught up with her on a motorcycle. A frivolous and crazy man controlled the motorcycle with one hand and waved to Chen Jin with the other hand, "Beauty, let's have dinner together."
Two years later, the third cousin sat in the passenger seat of her car again, rolled down the window, and scolded the person.
