Poor and happy
But not everything is happy.
I kept waiting for Ling Yun to call and ask for dinner, but after waiting for a long time, Teacher's Day had passed before Ling Yun completed his task and went to No. 3 Middle School to do the pilot recruitment promotion.
I thought she was done with her work, but then she called me and said she had to go back to the office for something. I left without even seeing her.
Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan said, "If I had known earlier, I would have gone to No. 3 Middle School to watch her presentation."
"It's okay, we'll have a chance to eat together in the future." Shen Baichuan comforted her, and handed the untouched braised lion head on his plate to Chen Jin, "Please."
Chen Jin's mood improved again. She came a little late today and missed the braised lion head. It’s still the familiar taste. As expected of a great chef, the food he makes is delicious.
She was enjoying her meal when she suddenly noticed that the person next to her was unusually quiet. He looked up and said, "Why are you looking at me? There's no way I'm going to give you any more."
Who wants to share her food? !
Isn’t the focus on her and Teacher Shen? !
Teacher Chang and the other two were looking at Chen Jin, waiting for her to say something.
"My boyfriend, Shen Baichuan, is a teacher at the School of Computer Science." Chen Jin sighed, "Didn't Teacher He say the other day that seeing me so cheerful, I guess we were dating, and I replied, I said yes."
Teacher He didn't know what to say and wanted to roll his eyes.
What's the difference between the tone of her smiling head and saying "yes, yes" and when she said "I plan to go to the mountains to study for a while" before summer vacation? They didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking she was talking nonsense again.
Oh, I'm not kidding this time, I'm serious.
Teacher He couldn't resist the gossip and tried to find out about Shen Baichuan's situation, but was stopped by Chen Jin's words "You have to take the night college entrance examination this month, are you ready, Teacher He?" and didn't want to ask any more questions.
Zhou Ding was not surprised at all, as he had seen them eating together many times before, so it was normal for them to be together.
Chen Jin did not shy away from this and was very open about it. Before long, most teachers in the college knew about it. Some of them were guessed when they saw it in the cafeteria, some were heard from others who lived in the small western-style building, and some were known only after they saw Shen Baichuan delivering fruits and asked other counselors.
In short, although Chen Jin didn't use a loudspeaker to publicize it, everyone in the college knew who her boyfriend was.
Vice Dean Sun could only sigh and completely gave up the idea of introducing a partner to Chen Jin. It was easy to deal with other people, but Mr. Shen Baichuan from the School of Computer Science knew a little about the situation. Before, a leader wanted to bring Shen Baichuan and his niece together by inviting them to dinner, but Shen Baichuan directly said that if he did these messy things again, the donations from the Cheng Group would bypass Nanjing University in the future.
I never thought that these two people would talk about the same thing.
After further inquiries, I found out that Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan were neighbors. They saw each other every day, so it was normal for them to be together.
Only Wu Kai still looked incredulous, but if everyone said so, it couldn't be false.
"No, she's dating someone now?"
The teacher in the same office just thought he was baffled and said, "It's not illegal for them to date. If they want to, they can date. They are old enough and can get married. Xiao Wu, the project you mentioned last time needs to be submitted for application and will not be approved until it passes the assessment..."
Wu Kai said absentmindedly, "I know. I'm writing it now."
Chen Jin met Wu Kai several times on her way to and from get off work, and she always felt that this man's eyes were inexplicable. He looked at her with disdain, and Chen Jin was even more disdainful than him.
She even looked him up and down, then curled her lips in disdain, "Tsk tsk!"
"Chen Jin, what do you mean? What's that look in your eyes?"
"Ah? What kind of look can I have? I look at people the way I look at people, and I look at trash the way I look at trash. Teacher Wu, please be polite next time and call me Teacher Chen. By the way, are the prescriptions of your glasses not suitable? I heard that wearing inappropriate glasses every day will damage your eyes faster. Go get a new pair when you get your salary next month, so you don't have to be suspicious of others."
As he walked over, he snorted.
"What are you sneering at? You think you are so noble, but you just grab any rich guy you see...ah! Chen Jin!"
Chen Jin said to the stunned cleaning lady, "I'm sorry, this person's mouth is too dirty. I'll help him wash it, and I'll help you clean up later."
The cleaning lady quickly came to her senses, glanced at Wu Kai, whose head was dripping with water, then looked at the wet floor, and comforted the two of them, "It's okay, the water is clean, it was just taken from the toilet. You don't have to help clean, you're supposed to mop the floor anyway."
Wu Kai: “…”
"Chen Jin, give me..."
Chen Jinli ignored him and turned directly to find Vice Dean Sun. After all, he was the direct supervisor of the counselors, so he explained the whole cause and effect in detail.
Knowing that many teachers and counselors heard the noise and came out to watch, Chen Jin didn't care and said directly: "Teacher Wu's mouth is really disgusting. Oh, I don't like him. Is dating someone else considered marrying someone above his station? Young people dating is not like cheating after marriage. It's like he's made a big mistake. Is he simply mentally ill or has a problem with his thinking? All women in the world should revolve around him?"
"It's funny. Dating someone with better conditions is marrying up. It sounds like he doesn't want to find someone with better conditions. Why is he pretending? If you are so noble, don't use the back door to get in. Just take the exam based on your own ability."
Wu Kai's chest heaved with anger, but he calmed down and said, "I never said such a thing."
"Oh, if you say so, then I haven't thrown water on you." Chen Jin didn't want to listen to the leaders' attempt to smooth things over. She just wanted to make things clear.
"Teacher Wu is also interesting. She doesn't work properly at work, but goes to the bathroom to wash her hair and style it. She is really fashionable."
Vice Dean Sun pinched his brows in pain. Wu Kai was such a brainless guy. Why did he have to mess with Chen Jin, the most undisciplined person in the academy?
It’s not true to say that Chen Jin is not managed. He is doing his job well and is also leading the sophomore class well. Although he has money, he is not greedy and he has done all the work he needs to do well.
There is no need to think about this matter. It's all Wu Kai's fault. He gossiped in front of others and spread rumors and threw dirty water on others. It's really... I can't imagine it. Is this the child raised in a so-called scholarly family?
He got the job through the backdoor, has his eyes in the sky, speaks without thinking, and really thinks that everyone revolves around him?
Wu Kai still knew that he was in the wrong. He was irritated by Chen Jin's eyes today and said things he shouldn't have said. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is the one who is wrong. If he continues to worry about right and wrong, he will only make more mistakes.
"Teacher Chen, I'm sorry, what I just said is not what you think. I didn't mean anything else."
"Oh, you didn't mean anything else." Chen Jin smiled and said, "You are ugly and have a dirty heart. You like married old men and don't like good-looking people, so you pick on me every time you see me. You look like you are going bald, and your face looks so pale, so you can't be good at anything. You are lucky to be reborn, otherwise you don't know where you are now."
"You're not angry, are you? I didn't say what you thought I meant, and I didn't mean anything else. Teacher Wu, I'm sorry."
Chen Jin chuckled and said, "Teacher Wu needs to control her temper. Why does she get angry so easily? Was I the first one to attack others today? I don't think so. Why is it that the person who speaks first is the first to lose his temper? It's really interesting. You also teach psychology. You know that you should provide psychological counseling to students. Take some time to provide counseling to yourself and straighten out your twisted mentality."
"President Sun, this is what happened today. Teacher Wu didn't say anything, and I didn't do anything. I just wasted your time listening to a joke. I'll go back to work now."
Chen Jin added: "If Teacher Wu's family has connections here and needs me to resign, just let me know."
As soon as Chen Jin left, those who came to watch the fun didn't want to stay any longer. With gossipy gleams in their eyes, they looked at each other and left silently.
Vice Dean Sun glanced at Wu Kai, whose hair was still wet, gritted his teeth, and said, "Close the door and come in to talk."
Chen Jin didn't take this unpleasant little episode seriously. After returning to the office, she was humming a tune while sorting out the things on her desk.
Teacher He carefully looked at her expression and asked, "Are you not angry?"
"Why should I be angry? Anyway, I didn't suffer any loss." Chen Jin chuckled and said, "He should be thankful that the bucket of water that was poured on him was just taken out of the toilet by Auntie, otherwise he would stink for the whole day."
Then, Chen Jin said, "People like him, who can't eat grapes, say that grapes are sour. He looks down on me for finding a partner with good conditions. Just wait and see, if Shen Baichuan says he likes him, don't you think he won't chase him with his tail wagging? He thinks others are stupid. He looked down on me before, and then secretly wanted to chase me, isn't it because he knew that I had a lot of things? He pretends to be noble, he is that kind of character, and he has the nerve to say others. "
"I've said it before. I'm not looking for a partner to help with poverty alleviation. Why should I look for someone who is inferior to me in every way? If he wants to say something, he can say it outside, but he can't say it in front of me. I can't stand hearing unpleasant words. If it's too unpleasant, I will say something unpleasant in return."
Wu Kai will not be the last person to speculate about her like this, and there will be other people who will think that she is marrying above her station. But you dumped someone just because of these people’s sour words? Humph, beauty can’t kill them.
Let them watch, alas, she won't tell the difference.
"You are quite open-minded." What Teacher He admires most about Chen Jin is that she never thinks she is wrong. If she is wrong, it is always someone else's fault.
See things clearly and think positively. It’s no wonder that she always stands on the moral high ground, because she can be immoral towards people she hates.
"I can take it easy. I have everything I want, so why should I not take it easy? I just listen to the rumors spread by others, but do I really need to reflect on myself? That's called eating without suffering. If anyone needs to reflect, it should be others who should reflect. Why don't normal people spread rumors, but he is the only one who spews shit everywhere?"
Wu Kai, who had been scolded in Vice Dean Sun's office, passed by the counselor's office and heard people talking inside. He listened for a while longer and then heard what Chen Jin said.
So, he was the only one who was angry and being scolded, but Chen Jin was still happily chatting with others? !
He walked over angrily and was seen by the sharp-eyed Chen Jin. He only heard her voice saying, "A quack quack just passed by..."
Ahhhh! Even more angry! So angry!
Later, every time Wu Kai saw Chen Jin in the academy, he would hear her shouting "Gu Gu Gu Gu", but she wasn't talking to him. After each "Gu Gu Gu Gu", she would ask the teacher next to her if she was learning like him...
Because of the incident with Chen Jin, he was the only one who was embarrassed in the whole college. Chen Jin is embarrassed? No, she doesn't care at all and is very thick-skinned. He goes to work every day with high spirits and vigor. Other teachers in the psychology department office all say that this young man Chen Jin has a strong personality.
The teachers in the psychology department didn't say anything, but the teachers in the Chinese department all looked at him as if his eyes were not eyes and his nose was not a nose, especially the one called Professor Jiang Chaosheng. When the whole department held a meeting, they specifically mentioned that the personal quality and ideological conduct of the teaching staff should be strengthened. It was too ugly to throw dirty water on female comrades all the time. This kind of teacher is not suitable for teaching and educating people...
Knowing that his teacher was there to support him, Chen Jin specially bought a lot of Laoyoufu pastries and sent them to the Chinese Department teacher's office. I also gave one to the cleaning lady. After all, I really caused trouble for my aunt's work. I felt bad for not staying to help her clean up.
Shen Baichuan saw that she was smiling while eating and asked her if there was anything good.
"No, I'm just happy despite being poor."
"You're still poor? I think you can start construction on that piece of land in Dongcheng District soon."
"Don't worry." Chen Jin said mysteriously, "Maybe there's some movement up there. Don't ask me how I know, it's just intuition. I went to the company a few times and passed by my land and saw someone doing surveying there. Well, there's one person I've seen and I have some impression of him. He's an expert who did surveying in our village before."
Shen Baichuan thought about the location of her land and said, “I’ll go back to the old house in a couple of days and help you find out.”
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to a piece of braised pork." Chen Jin took the fattest piece from his plate.
Chen Jin's good mood continued and he went to work happily every day. I will go to the company on weekends to check on the situation.
No matter what time it is, there are always people in the company and someone has to guard the warehouse. Their days off are not exactly the same as others. For example, employees who work in a store cannot rest on weekends, which is their busiest time. They can only rest on weekdays. The good thing is that the company firmly implements the two-day weekend system, so everyone can have two days off every week.
Putting himself in other people's shoes, Chen Jin himself doesn't like to have one day off a week. It's already a rare achievement for him to work five days in a row. If he is not given two days of good rest, this rest will be meaningless.
In order to cooperate with the company's employees in achieving performance goals, the company's administrative department also adjusted its rest time to Mondays and Tuesdays. I originally thought that everyone would have some opinions, but unexpectedly it was actually okay and everyone accepted it quite quickly.
Cousin Mengchong usually gets along well with the employees in the company and understands everyone's feelings the best. He said frankly: "They all say that the salary the company offers is twice what they used to get at Baiyou. It's no big deal to move the rest time."
Well, it's that simple.
Although this salary is said to be high, it is actually not that high. After all, it has been more than a year or almost two years since Baiyou was still producing normally. In the past two years, the salary outside has definitely increased a bit. It is said to be twice the previous salary, but in fact the increase is not that much.
But the company has just started out, and there is still a long way to go in terms of future development. It is impossible that the company is getting better and better while everyone's salary is getting lower and lower.
Cousin Meng Chong said, "Everyone privately says that you are generous. If the company does well in the future, you will definitely not treat everyone unfairly."
Chen Jin waved his hand and said, "Pour some cold water on them, don't flatter me. I still want to make money. Of course, it's best for us to make money together in harmony. If one day we can't make money together in harmony, it's hard to say what will happen."
Well, before thinking about these things, let’s make the name of Baiyou known first.
Chen Jin then asked about the current purchase of office supplies, pointed to his desk and said, "I told Director Geng that when the company makes money, we will change everyone's office and make it look better. Otherwise, we will not be in the mood to go to work."
"Okay." Cousin Meng Chong laughed. "Director Geng mentioned this matter at the meeting last week. He asked the purchasing department to submit a budget."
The company’s two stores have been open for more than half a month. With the National Day approaching, there will definitely be another wave of popularity. Geng Xin has already started looking for a new storefront, and the franchisees he has contacted are still waiting and watching.
After Chen Jin learned about the company's affairs, he went to the gate to find Uncle Wang, pulled a small stool over, raised his chin towards the factory opposite, and asked, "Uncle Wang, is there anyone else visiting the factory opposite?"
"No, some people came last time, but now there is no movement. These people can't settle down without coming a few times. They must want to lower the price." Uncle Wang said, and suddenly asked: "Boss, you don't want to..."
Chen Jin sighed, staring at the opposite side with his eyes, almost staring two holes in the big iron gate opposite, and said: "I want to, but Director Gao is too busy to deal with me now. There is another main reason."
"What?"
Chen Jin spread his hands and said, "I'm poor."
The next second, the big orange cat placed its paw on her palm.
Chen Jin touched Daju's head and joked, "Do you want to share some of your fortune with me? Here you go."
