Chen Jin was holding a new form, with the room numbers of 20 apartments in the vertical row and the five months from August to December in the horizontal row. The middle grid is used for tenants to sign after they have paid the rent.
She collected rent from each household and asked them to sign.
In fact, it is quite troublesome to collect rent for just one month, but tenants feel it is too much trouble to ask them to pay three months' rent at once. Never mind. Let’s just leave it like this for now.
The house my uncle bought is being prepared to be transferred to his three children, but the house is still rented out. The houses of my third uncle and second uncle are also rented out. Chen Jin was thinking whether he should discuss with them and find someone to be responsible for collecting rent every month.
Or you can learn from Chen Wenzhen and find a trustworthy person to be the manager, responsible for collecting rent every month and handling some house issues.
But it’s not easy to find this person in charge, you have to trust him.
In fact, Tian Miao is a very suitable candidate, but she likes to open a convenience store or a supermarket. She is now working in a newly opened large supermarket in Xicheng District.
Thinking about how to collect rent conveniently in the future, Chen Jin quickly drove to Xiu Li Community. In order to avoid not being able to find anyone, she chose to go out at 8 o'clock in the evening. Her third uncle also came with her.
The rent collection went smoothly. The tenants paid and signed, and the small bag Chen Jin carried with him was full in no time. She came out of Building 4 and was about to return to Building 2 to wait for her third uncle to come down from the car when she was suddenly stopped by someone.
Chen Jin looked back and saw, oh! Aunt Ke Xin? !
If it weren't for her distinct facial features, Chen Jin would not have recognized that this was Jiang Keyin, the village girl who worked in the wind and rain with Chen Wensong in the fish pond and had no time to dress up!
Jiang Kexin now has long brown curly hair, delicate makeup, and high heels. The tight white silk skirt sways gently with her steps. A fashionable new woman!
The surprise in Chen Jin's eyes made Jiang Keyin happy. He was indeed a smart kid in the village with good vision!
"Aunt Ke Xin, you are so beautiful!" It was a huge loss to marry Chen Wensong and suffer with him. But it’s not too late to dress up now. Look, how good Aunt Ke Xin is now. She has a building to collect rent! Tens of thousands of rental income per month!
"Haha, you are still the sweet talker, Third Sister." Jiang Kexin said with a smile, "Where do you live now? I would like you to try the barber shop opened by my eldest sister someday. I had my hair done in her shop. I promise to give you a nice hairstyle."
Chen Jin was a little interested, but felt it was too high-profile, so he didn't say whether it was a good idea or not. However, he still exchanged mobile phone numbers with Jiang Keyin and told her that he would live near the west gate of Nanjing University in the future.
"Are the houses over there expensive? I also want to buy one for our Chen Yue. She is now in her third year of high school. With her grades, she can get into Nanjing University." Jiang Kexin was a little distressed again. "She has been in a bad mood recently because of the bad relationship between her father and I."
Chen Jin: "Students in their third year of high school are under a lot of pressure. Take them out to relax on weekends and holidays. Parents should not ask them too much about their grades. If they ask too much, they will feel stressed."
"Okay, thank you very much, Third Sister. When Chen Yue is on holiday someday, if you are free, let's go out and play together. You two are about the same age, so you should have something to talk about. I want you to help me enlighten Chen Yue."
The adult matter has come to this point, but Chen Wensong and his family don't care whether the big deal will have an impact on Chen Yue. When they heard that the mistress was pregnant, they went to the hospital for a check-up and found out it was a boy. Now Chen Wensong has remarried.
Chen Jin agreed immediately, "Ask Chen Yue to contact me some other day, and my brother and sister, we can also arrange to go out for dinner and watch a movie together when we are free."
"Okay, I'll contact you then." Jiang Kexin saw Chen Jin's uncle coming downstairs, nodded to him, and smiled at Chen Jin, "I'm here to collect the rent, and I have to go back. Let's talk when we have time."
"Goodbye, Aunt Ke Xin."
Uncle San came over and saw Jiang Kexin leaving on a motorcycle. "Why did you start chatting with her?"
"Oh, she said she would ask Chen Yue to come and play with me when she is free. We chatted for a while." They are all friends who have grown up in the same village, so there is nothing wrong with interacting more.
"She has changed a lot since her divorce."
Chen Jin smiled and said, "Anyone who has a building in a beautiful community for rent will see a lot of changes!"
"That's right." Uncle San thought what she said made a lot of sense. Do you feel sorry for people who are getting divorced? In fact, she no longer has to suffer the bullying at her husband’s house, nor does she have to put up with her cheating husband. Her daughter was awarded to her, and she also got a building. Winner in life!
As soon as the National Day holiday was over, Chen Jin called the village chief Chen Guangman to make an appointment and went to him to get a certificate.
Chen Guangman was very straightforward. When she came over with the fruit, he had already issued the certificate to her.
"Your uncle bought land in the suburbs of Xicheng District and didn't take you with him?" Chen Wenzhen's family lived just opposite. When he heard that Chen Jin was coming, he walked a few more steps over to take a look. He had heard before that Chen Jin was going to move his household registration to Qiaoxi Village and would be able to get a lot of residential land. He was wondering in his heart: Could it be that Chen Wenqiang had heard some news again?
In the past, he thought that Chen Wenqiang had some ability but not much. But later, when he got much more land than him, he began to wonder if Chen Wenqiang really had some connections.
"No, I won't get involved in my uncle's business. I don't know much about real estate. It's better to make money in a safe way." It would be nice to build two buildings in the village and rent them out to collect rent, but the business is too big for her to handle.
However, Chen Guangman admired Chen Jin very much and asked her whether she would work in an unit or a company in the future.
"I want to stay in school and be a counselor, but I don't know if I can pass the exam. There are a lot of competitors."
Chen Guangman smiled and said, "It's good to stay in school. This job is decent." Anyway, Chen Jin is now the richest girl in their Qiaodong Village. If she can find a job she likes, which is decent and stable, her life will be much more smooth.
Speaking of being rich, Chen Guangman felt even more satisfied when he looked at Chen Jin. Look at Chen Jin, he has a lot of money and real estate in his hands, but his mentality is more stable than others. People spend money when they need to, but they don't show off. They just look for a job honestly according to the plan.
How many people just have a little money and they become so rich!
"Come to my house more often when you have time. Hanlin Garden and Rose Garden are also close. Oh, your third uncle also bought a house in Rose Garden, right?"
"Yes, but my third uncle and his family have been busy looking for shops recently, hoping to open a store to find something to do. He also said that he would come over to visit us after he was done with his work."
"Haha, then go back and tell him that he's welcome to come often. There are several families in our village who have bought houses in Rose Garden, so you can visit more often in the future."
Chen Jin nodded "hmm".
There are indeed several families in Qiaodong Village who have bought houses in Rose Garden. In addition to her third uncle, the village chief and his two sons, there are also Mr. and Mrs. Chen San and their son Chen Wenxing's family, Uncle Chen Wu and his family, and the old branch secretary and his two sons.
That’s right, Chen Wensong finally came to Rose Garden to buy a house. He failed to buy the villa, but he and Chen Wenzhen bought a piece of land to build a building.
The Rose Garden is really lively, but it’s a pity that she bought a house in Hanlin Garden, so it will not be so convenient to hear gossip in the future.
Chen Jin drove with his uncle and Lawyer Mo to Qiaoxi Village again, taking the village chief Liu Mantang with him, and then went to the suburban police station in Nancheng District. Chen Wenhao took them to handle the affairs, and soon, Chen Jin's new household registration and new ID card were obtained.
When she was born, she was not registered in Qiaoxi Village. After more than 20 years, she was finally registered in Qiaoxi Village.
The uncle patted her shoulder and said, "Don't think too much." He looked back cautiously and saw that no one was following him. He whispered, "It doesn't matter where your household registration is. What's real is getting the benefits. Your mother will only praise you for being smart when she sees you."
Chen Jin chuckled, "That's right, what's the point of being famous? How can it be really good? Don't worry, uncle, I know what's going on."
After the household registration issue was settled, he went to Qiaoxi Village again that day. Chen Jin signed a homestead transfer agreement with the village chief, village party secretary, and accountant of Qiaoxi Village. Immediately, 400 square meters of homestead land was added to his name.
Look, if she hadn't found Lawyer Mo, if something really happened in the future, these people could use the law to take back her homestead, and she would not be in the right.
Looking again, except for the 100 square meters of land allocated to her by the village, the remaining 300 square meters were transferred by these three people.
Well, it is said that there is no residential land in Qiaoxi Village, but in fact, all these lands are in the hands of certain people. In the past, the management of village housing land was not strict, and each village had its own internal rules. Unlike now, various regulations have gradually become standardized, and it is difficult to divide large pieces of housing land.
Chen Jin paid for the 400-square-meter residential land, but she used the 100-square-meter land that she was allocated to build a house, and the remaining 300 square meters was used to build four buildings, which belonged to her three uncles and aunt.
My aunt refused to get involved, thinking that there was no need to build a piece of land in the village to collect rent. It would be better to do other things with the money, which would bring more profit than building houses for rent. My uncle and the others didn't try to persuade me much. They had already tried their best, and they couldn't force the cow to drink the water if it didn't want to.
My aunt couldn't come up with the money, but my third uncle and aunt said that the money was a loan to her. My aunt thought it was a good thing this way, as the houses would not be in her name, and she would not have to argue with the Zhang family in the future.
The demolition of Mutang Village has finally made some progress. My uncle's house and contracted land are finally going to be demolished, and we will get the money after a while. Even if my aunt agrees to a divorce now, the Zhang family may not be able to give her much. My aunt gritted her teeth and said she would not divorce for the time being.
The elders’ affairs are now gradually being told to the younger generations because we are worried that they know nothing. My uncle said that if you don’t know anything, you won’t be able to take on responsibilities in the future.
After obtaining the residential land, the subsequent construction of the house was handed over to my uncle to arrange people to do it. Chen Jin is just a hands-off boss.
"Look, it's 30,000 yuan as agreed. I'm a man of my word." Chen Jin gave the 30,000 yuan in cash to her grandfather.
Old man Liu put the money directly into his pocket without counting it. Boss Liu's eyes widened. He really didn't expect that after Chen Jin got the housing land in the village, he would give his old man a commission of 30,000 yuan. He can also earn this money!
"Have dinner at home before going back? I'll tell your grandma and make two dishes you like."
"No, I have a date with a friend. Let's go."
Chen Jin felt that it was boring to stay at home every day. Her thesis was also making some progress, so she planned to go to Lin Xinran to ask if the internship at Cheng Group she had agreed to last time was still possible.
Although she is not short of money now, she might get sick if she stays at home all day. Money will be spent, but the skills you learn will never disappear, so why not try an internship?
Students majoring in Chinese have a wide range of employment options after graduation. If they rely on the school's assignment, they may not necessarily get a good job. The situation now is not like the 1980s, when college students were a scarce resource and large companies were scrambling to recruit them. But now, it’s hard to say.
For example, Chen Jin, whose registered residence is still in the rural area, will most likely be assigned to an ordinary school in the suburbs of Nancheng District or a school in the county town below. To get a good job, you now have to rely on your ability and connections.
Of course, if you don’t strive to work for a large company and go to outside companies to apply for a job, it won’t be difficult to find a job, but the salary and benefits may not be very good. After all, clerks are not technical personnel, and the salary they receive is basically a fixed salary.
She still wanted to give it a try, and she thought it would be nice to be an office clerk in a company.
Lin Xinran received the pager and called Chen Jin back. When she heard Chen Jin say that he also wanted to do an internship, she immediately agreed. It just so happened that Chen Jin was free, and she wanted to ask her to go out with her to watch a movie or go shopping.
Now her place in graduate school has been confirmed, and she has been confirmed to continue her studies at the same university. Her father gave her 2,000 yuan as a reward. She will be going to internship in November, and she wants to buy some clothes to wear to work.
"Well, I'll buy two sets too." Chen Jin asked her address and said, "Then I'll pick you up at your house."
Lin Xinran agreed. She thought that when Chen Jin said "pick you up", he meant coming from home to meet her.
She had just finished packing when her mother called her downstairs to say that her classmate Chen Jin had arrived.
"Chen Jin, you came so quickly, I..." Lin Xinran looked down from the balcony and saw Chen Jin standing next to a white car waving at her. No wonder she came so quickly, her family drove her here.
But when she got out, she found that there was no one else in the car. "You drove here by yourself? When did you go to get a driver's license? You're driving too fast!"
"I'll take the exam when I'm free in August."
"Weren't you busy at home in August?"
"It's true that I'm a bit busy at home, but it's mainly July, and there's nothing to do in August."
"This car is pretty good. Is it your relative's?"
After getting in the car, Chen Jincai said, "The car is mine. Our village was demolished, so..."
! ! ! Demolished? !
Lin Xinran went from being shocked to envious, and was so excited as if her own house was demolished. "Wow! You are so good at hiding it! Demolition? Doesn't that mean you are rich?"
"Xiao Fu, Xiao Fu." Chen Jin laughed and waited for Lin Xinran to calm down. "So don't fight with me for my treat today. Thank you for helping me find an internship."
"Then I'm going to choose an expensive restaurant to eat at!"
"no problem."
Lin Xinran had no idea what Chen Jin meant by "her house was demolished". She didn't recognize the car Chen Jin was driving. The restaurant they ate at was a bit expensive, but she could afford it if she gritted her teeth. When buying clothes, Chen Jin also picked similar brands as her and didn't buy very expensive clothes.
When she got home at night, her mother asked her what her classmate's family did, and she said that her classmate's house had been demolished.
Father Lin casually asked, "Demolition? Where is your classmate from?"
"Her family has an orchard in Qiaodong Village, which is located in the southern part of the city. She should be able to get a good share of the proceeds."
Father Lin was almost choked, "Qiaodong Village?" Is that the village where every family can get at least millions after the demolition? My daughter's classmate is said to be still single, so what about her wealth... When I look at the way my daughter seems to know nothing, it seems that she is very low-key.
"You are a good classmate. We can interact more often in the future."
"Needless to say, Chen Jin is my best friend in college. By the way, Dad, please help me take care of the internship. Chen Jin and I have agreed to do the internship together."
"It's a small matter, don't worry. I'll report next Monday. When you go out to work, it's different from what you have in school. The social etiquette..."
"I understand. I understand the theory. It's just a matter of putting it into practice. I'll understand everything if I go there myself." Lin Xinran was impatient to listen to her father's nagging, as he kept talking about the same things. What should I do when having a meal with my boss? I have to lower my glass when toasting. How long-winded!

After confirming the internship, Chen Jin contacted Professor Jiang and went to the school to discuss with him some ideas about writing her thesis. She obtained a lot of reference books and prepared to borrow some books from the library to read.
Professor Jiang: "I heard from your counselor that you want to stay on as a counselor after graduation?"
Originally, he thought that Chen Jin had good academic performance and a positive learning attitude, so if she was going to pursue graduate studies, he could ask her to come over. However, he did not expect that after the list of guaranteed admissions came out, he did not see Chen Jin's name. After asking, he found out that Chen Jin had given up on further studies and wanted to go directly to work.
"Yes, but the college hasn't started sending out notifications yet, so I don't know what the requirements are for recruiting counselors this year."
"Well, go back and prepare well, and don't delay writing your thesis." Professor Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Prepare a backup plan. If you can't stay in school as a counselor, you can do something else."
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Professor Jiang looked up at her again and asked, "Have you moved to the little western-style building now?"
Chen Jin was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that the previous owner of her small villa was Professor Shen, and Professor Shen and Professor Jiang had a good relationship, so it was not surprising that he knew about it.
"It was only renovated last month, and we'll move in after a while."
"No wonder. Dean Xi and Professor Song from your neighbor's house praised you a lot. My house is on the far right of the third row. Come visit me when you have time."
"OK!"
It sounds like Professor Jiang not only has a good relationship with Professor Shen, but also has a good relationship with the two teachers next to her.
She has heard the phrase “Come to my house when you have time” a lot recently! But sometimes I really feel conflicted, whether to go or not? There seemed to be no reason to visit, but they brought it up again...
So, sometimes she is afraid of hearing some "serious" compliments. She is good at studying and taking exams, but she is really not good at figuring out what strangers are thinking.
Let’s talk about it later. She can always be “busy”.
~
Starting from November, Chen Jin began his internship journey.
The Cheng Group Office Building is located in Dongcheng District and was once one of the landmark buildings in Dongcheng District. Ten years later, Rong City developed rapidly, high-rise buildings sprang up, and the Cheng Group office building was lost in the crowd.
The group's business covers a wide range. There are more than a dozen subsidiaries under the Cheng Group, such as Cheng Technology Company, which will move there once the science and technology park is developed.
On the first day that Chen Jin and Lin Xinran reported to work, they were arranged to attend employee training with the latest batch of employees joining the company this year to learn about the group's culture and business.
The person in charge of leading them was An Lan, the team leader of the administrative department.
"After three days of training, do you have a general understanding of the group now?"
Chen Jin and Lin Xinran both nodded.
The Cheng Group is involved in real estate, hotels, technology, entertainment and culture, among other industries. Chen Jin and the new employees were amazed when they heard about it during the training. However, the two of them were just here to do odd jobs.
Starting tomorrow, they will start learning how to use the printer, where in the office they need to restock toilet paper and paper cups as soon as possible, how to arrange the meeting room...
To be honest, Chen Jin felt a little disappointed. She thought a clerk just sat at a desk and typed on a keyboard. Well, not everyone in the office building has a computer. She was overthinking it.
"You two didn't apply for a dormitory, so you're both locals?"
“Yes, we are all local.”
"Is it far from work? If it's too far, it would be more convenient to apply for a dormitory."
"No, no, it's very convenient for us to go home." Chen Jin absolutely refused to live in the dormitory. She had finally gotten out of the school dormitory and really didn't want to live in the company dormitory with eight people again.
Lin Xinran's home is not far away. After get off work, she can walk a short distance from the downstairs door to the bus stop. Moreover, in the old city area, all the provincial government units and government units are there, so the public security is the safest.
Chen Jin now drives back and forth every day. She plans to pack up the things she often uses in Hanlin Garden and bring them to the small western-style building on the weekend, and then officially move in to live there permanently.
Moreover, the company is closer from the small western-style building.
During the first two days of work, Chen Jin and Lin Xinran were in an awkward situation. They often didn't know what to do. An Lan was too busy to take care of them, and other people in the office were busy with their own things and seldom asked them for help.
I go to work on time and get off work on time every day. After two awkward days, the first weekend after my internship is about to arrive.
"Isn't it a bit easy for us to make money?" Lin Xinran joked.
"Cherish the present day. I think Sister Lan is too busy to take care of us now. We won't be able to have it so easy in the future."
This weekend, Chen Jin packed his things, put them in the trunk of his car, and moved into his new home.
Driving on Wutong Road outside the west gate, Chen Jin saw a flower shop in front of him. He pulled over and bought two bouquets of flowers and two vases, then drove forward and entered the family quarters.
There was a car parked in front of the neighbor's house, which was different from the last time, but this time the courtyard gate and the main house door were closed tightly.
"Xiao Chen is here? What did he buy this time?" Professor Song came out when she heard the sound of a car. She saw that it was indeed her little neighbor who came over.
Chen Jin first brought the vase and flowers in, "This time I'm moving my luggage in. I'm going to live here for a long time from now on."
"That's great!" Professor Song clapped her hands, turned back to the house and called her nanny to come over for help.
"No, no, I can move it all by myself."
Chen Jin didn't bring much stuff with her. She hadn't even brought in her winter clothes yet. The heaviest items were the books and materials she borrowed from the library. There are household appliances, pots, pans, and everything else in the house. She just had to spread out the sheets she brought and put in the pillows and quilt, and the bedroom was ready. She had prepared daily necessities early on, and at most she would go out to buy some snacks, rice and noodles, and occasionally cook a meal for herself.
The refrigerator at home is still empty. It needs to be filled up, otherwise the electricity will be wasted.
After putting everything in place, Chen Jin drove out again and bought two large bags of food, so there was finally something in the refrigerator.
It was starting to get cooler in Rong City in November, but after being busy for a long time, Chen Jin felt hot all over.
I called my three uncles and told them about the move. I don't plan to have a move-in banquet this time. I told them so that they wouldn't have trouble finding me when they go to Hanlin Garden.
"Xiao Chen, come over for dinner later." Professor Song called over here from her yard. Chen Jin got up and went out. She responded with hello, then hurried upstairs to take a shower and change clothes. She blew her hair 70% dry before going out.
Then I met my neighbor next door for the first time at the gate.
They met briefly, and Chen Jin didn't have time to take a closer look at what the person looked like. The neighbor took a step forward, got into the car, and drove away.
The neighbor next door seems to be in a bad mood.
"Xiao Chen, come and have dinner." Professor Song came out and urged.
"Oh oh, here I come."
Chen Jin withdrew her gaze and shrugged indifferently. He was just a neighbor. Whether he had a good temper or not had nothing to do with her.
