Night School
After the National Day, Chen Jin started to be busy again.
I work during the day and have to go to classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights. The good thing is that whether I am working or attending night school, it is all in Nanyang Technological University, which is close to home.
In addition, we also need to ask Nie Rong for help in purchasing the factory opposite the company.
Of the four people in their counselor's office, three attended night school.
Teacher Chang only said once, "If I didn't open a calligraphy class, I would still go to class with you," and he never mentioned this sentence again. Because this class of freshmen is not one that is easy to take care of, Teacher Chang feels that his work is already busy enough, and if he were to divide his time and energy to study at night school, he would be exhausted.
There are always a few troublesome students in every grade, and Chen Jin is used to it. Even though she was not familiar with students from other grades, she still knew a few "famous students" in each grade. Some of them were too outstanding, and some were too troublesome.
The sophomores she teaches are not all that worry-free either, so let's not talk about them.
Zhou Ding studied accounting with Teacher He. Not long after Zhou Ding graduated, his mind worked much faster and he learned faster. After Mr. He started studying accounting, he was often worried. He said in the office several times: "It's too difficult. I don't want to learn it anymore. I'd rather not go."
Then, he was blocked back by Chen Jin.
"Then just give up. Don't bother us in the office. I don't want to hear you complain."
Want to hear others' comfort and encouragement? No, Chen Jin would only advise people to give up and escape from the sea of suffering as soon as possible.
After being blocked several times, Teacher He no longer dared to spread bad emotions in the office. But although she talked about giving up enthusiastically, she actually had no intention of giving up at all.
Chen Jin didn't want to spoil her. He hated people who ruined his mood and made others feel bad. If you meet such a person in an office, there is no way to avoid him and you can only keep quiet.
Chen Jin finished the student work at hand, then took out the book next to him and started reading. The fan in the office was creaking. The weather in late October had become much cooler, and my mood had calmed down as well.
The office was filled with the sounds of shuffling papers and writing. Suddenly, everyone's phones started ringing one after another, as if they had made an appointment in advance.
The phone in the office was so busy that one person even called in to complain that it took several calls before they could get through.
When Teacher Chang received the call, he stood up and looked for a notebook and a pen, saying that the secretary wanted to talk to him.
Teacher He received a call from his daughter’s school teacher, saying that the child was sick. Because the flu was severe recently and the teacher was afraid of infecting other children, he notified the parents to pick up the child.
Zhou Ding received a call from an outside unit, who wanted to find out about a certain student's situation at school. The class of students Zhou Ding is teaching will graduate next year, and some of the smart ones have already started to secure jobs for themselves. So some outside units would call counselor Zhou Ding to find out about the situation.
Chen Jin's own phone also rang. It was Nie Rong calling, asking her to prepare the materials and fill out the application and submit it tomorrow. There would be no further step until the other party reviewed it. It is impossible to find anyone this time. It is not a problem of expediting the process. The factory opposite the company is also a state-owned factory, but it went bankrupt before, and some idle assets have not been recovered or sold. When she applied, the higher-ups discovered a number of historical issues, which are still under evaluation.
Chen Jin said: "If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, it's my fate. You can't force it. You have helped as much as you can. There is no need to look for anyone else. Forget it if you can't buy it. I still have a large workshop behind my company with vacant space. At worst, I can build another workshop inside the company."
Having said that, it is better to separate them. In the future, the company will have two lines: clothing and furniture. They can be mixed together in the beginning, but as they develop in the future, the furniture factory will definitely not be short of people, and there will definitely not be enough space in the future.
Well, it’s only the beginning and she has already thought a lot about it.
Nie Rong also told her frankly: "I want to help, but there is really nothing I can do. I have already found everyone I can. We cannot intervene in the rest of the situation."
After that, Nie Rong smiled and said, "Xiong Er said he's going to Teacher Shen's house for dinner this Saturday. I want to go over and eat there, too."
Oh yes, Shen Baichuan said that his friends were coming over to his house this weekend, and asked if her friends would come.
He patted his forehead and said, "I was so busy that I wanted to call you to ask, but I forgot. It's just right, are you guys coming? When you go home and see people, please ask for me. If everyone comes, we can prepare more food."
"Brother Qian is busy with a big case recently, so I'm not sure if he's available. Brother Hua may also be busy with the investment promotion conference in December. I'll ask the others. So, you invited them, why don't you call?"
"Call, I'll call and ask, but I'm afraid everyone is busy and I may not be able to answer the phone. The day after tomorrow is Saturday."
Before Chen Jin started to get busy, she felt that there were still a lot of idle people around her. But after she got busy, she found that the people around her were busier than each other.
I took a day off on Friday morning and went to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to submit the materials and application.
In the afternoon, I went back to the college to work as usual. Then he was also called by the secretary for a talk. We talked for half the afternoon. From work to personal issues, he was "concerned" about everything. Chen Jin responded to every question without any flaws and with a very good attitude.
This kind of thing is normal. For about half a semester, the college leaders would find time to talk with their counselors one by one. Chen Jin is used to it. It's just a procedure.
After get off work in the afternoon, I eat in the cafeteria first, and then go home to prepare food for Daju. Seeing that it was almost time, I started packing up and getting ready to go out.
When she first started attending night school, Daju was not used to it. When he saw her going out, he wanted to go too. After being locked up at home by her several times, he gradually got used to her going out at night every other day.
It would be fine if Shen Baichuan was at home at night, Daju would go to his house to play and wait for her to come back. If Shen Baichuan was not at home, Daju would play in the backyard by himself.
The fence between her house and Shen Baichuan's house was not removed, but a small door was made to make it convenient for Daju to run between the two sides. It's bigger now and can't squeeze through the gaps in the fence like before.
"Daju, I'm going out for class." Chen Jin greeted Daju as usual before going out.
There were no cars in the parking space in front of the neighboring courtyard. Shen Baichuan only had the first class in the morning on Fridays this semester, so every Friday, he would go directly to the South City Science and Technology Park after class.
I just don't know when he will come back. If I don’t come back, I will stay in Hanlin Garden or the villa in Jingshan Park.
Professor Qi, who teaches business management courses in the evening, also lives in the small Western-style building. After class, Chen Jin would occasionally go home with Professor Qi. During the short few minutes of driving back, he could also ask Professor Qi for help in answering questions that he did not understand in class.
After class that evening, Chen Jin looked up and saw that several classmates had gone up to Professor Qi to ask questions. She was not busy, as it would take a while for Professor Qi to finish answering them.
"Chen Jin, next time I'm free, can I come visit your company?"
Chen Jin looked up and saw that the person asking the question was Wei Hongqi, the former director of the Third Textile Factory in Panxiarong City. She was an impetuous older sister who had volunteered to be the class monitor on the first day of class and could get along with anyone.
After attending this night school class, Chen Jin finally understood why Professor Kong strongly recommended that she attend. The need to systematically learn theoretical knowledge was one reason. Another reason was that the students who came to attend this business management class were either entrepreneurs themselves or managers from various companies and units who came here for further studies.
These classmates will be her future connections.
At the beginning of the school year, everyone introduced themselves and exchanged business cards. After more than a month of classes, everyone is now relatively familiar with each other. At least we know who is from which unit and who runs his own company.
As soon as Wei Hongqi mentioned it, several people followed suit and said they wanted to go together.
Chen Jin saw that besides running a clothing company, there was also a department store manager and a processing factory... "Sure, I have other plans this weekend. Any other time, as long as it's a weekend, you can call me."
Everyone laughed. They all knew that Chen Jin was a counselor at Nanjing University and had to go to work at school on weekdays. So they naturally understood why she said she was only free on weekends.
The first class of their course is a class meeting, which is specifically for the 27 classmates to get to know each other. Chen Jin is the youngest in the class. When he stood up and introduced his unit, he said that he was a counselor at Nanjing University. At that time, everyone thought they had misheard, so why was the counselor arranged to come in?
Later I heard that he opened a small clothing company and then I understood. Well, running a small company and being a counselor at the same time is a pretty strange combination.
It was not until the end of the class on Monday when everyone went downstairs together that Wei Hongqi jokingly asked Chen Jin why she always wore Baiyou clothes. Chen Jin then said that Baiyou was her company, and everyone was stunned.
Baiyou was once a business card of Rong City, although it later declined. But recently, Baiyou has been making a comeback, having first opened two stores in Xicheng District and Dongcheng District. Business has been booming, and it is now renovating its third and fourth stores. Anyone who pays attention to the development of the industry will more or less know Baiyou.
But I didn’t expect that Baiyou was from Chen Jin’s company.
Wei Hongqi has been learning about the situation of Chen Jin's company these days. Seeing that every time Baiyou launches a new model, it becomes a big hit, he wondered if there would be any opportunities for cooperation in the future.
She heard that Baiyou was now doing OEM, and she was quite curious about how they operated.
After everyone discussed it, they decided to visit Chen Jin’s company next Saturday morning.
Someone even laughed and said, "My daughter said that young people like Baiyou's clothes and asked me to learn from her. She also said that the clothes we produce are too old-fashioned. Mr. Chen, no, Mr. Chen, you have to give me a membership card so that I can go to your store more often."
Chen Jin said that he would give everyone membership cards in the next class, and then said: "Why don't you just call me Teacher Chen? My main job is actually still to be a counselor."
After all, sometimes I don’t go to the company for a week.
Everyone laughed again and started calling him "Teacher Chen" readily.
"Teacher Chen, your boyfriend is here to pick you up from get off work again." The person who walked out of the classroom turned back and reminded her.
No one laughed out loud, but there was a clear mocking smile on their faces. Chen Jin was calm and still packed his things slowly, saying, "Don't worry, we still have to wait for Professor Qi to come back together."
Professor Qi on the podium heard this and waved his hand to send them away, saying, "It's just a short distance. I'll walk back by myself. I won't delay you young people from dating. Let's go."
He really didn't want to go back with the young man and sit in the back seat. Although Chen Jin drove and asked him questions and Shen Baichuan didn't say a word, he just felt embarrassed and delayed others.
It's not easy for these two. They are both busy with school work and their own companies. They finally have some time to fall in love, but he interferes. How inappropriate!
Chen Jin thought about it and realized that he really wanted to talk to Shen Baichuan, so he packed up his textbooks quickly and said goodbye to Professor Qi.
When she went downstairs, she was often teased by older brothers and sisters, but Chen Jin was not a shy girl. She smiled and nodded when she was teased and said, "Yes, my girlfriend is really good-looking!"
She was not talking nonsense, others could doubt Shen Baichuan's financial resources, but they could not doubt Shen Baichuan's face, although it was not particularly handsome, but it was completely in line with her aesthetic point. He looks like a very smart man.
Shen Baichuan came here for a walk from home, and when he got here, he almost just waited for Chen Jin to finish class. The person who had just come downstairs with Chen Jin nodded, then greeted the two counselors in Chen Jin's office, and then said, "Second brother."
Chen Lu and Lin Xinran also came out. Said hello again.
There are many friends of Chen Jin in this small night school class.
My second cousin always finds it funny when he sees this lively scene. Wherever my third sister goes, there seem to be a crowd of friends around her. He had no idea that the night school classes were so popular.
"Your second sister-in-law and I will come over to talk tomorrow. Let's go and hurry home."
Chen Jin warned from behind: "Drive carefully at night!"
After saying goodbye to their classmates and friends, Chen Jincai and Shen Baichuan drove away and bought a portion of fried noodles from a food stall on Wutong Road.
"I use my brain a lot, and I'm hungry."
Every time Shen Baichuan went to pick her up, he felt that she was having a great time in this night school class, and today he even mentioned that several of her classmates would visit her company next week.
When they went to eat fried noodles in her backyard, Shen Baichuan said, “You get along well with your classmates.”
"It's okay. It's comfortable to get along with smart people." There are competitors in the company, but they know how to talk and behave. They all come here to learn and make friends. No one wants to cause trouble. Although there is a big age gap between them and they are inevitably a little incompatible in terms of ideas, no one thinks it is a big deal. If you get along well, make friends and communicate more in the future. If you don’t get along well, just be classmates quietly for two years. Don’t offend others when you say or do things. What if something happens in the future?
Chen Jin said: "I think I'm easy to get along with, as long as others don't go crazy."
"By the way, I have a lot of friends coming here tomorrow. How about splitting them into two sides? There might not be enough space for them at your house." Chen Jin looked at the fence in the middle thoughtfully, then shook his head and threw away the idea that had just popped up.
Take down the fence now? It’s too early, let’s wait and see.
"Well, when they come, let them do what they want. It's not the first time they meet, they will find someone to talk to themselves."
Chen Jin burped and said with emotion: "I have so many friends now."
