After taking three days off and the weekend, Chen Jin hadn't been to school for five days. When he came back, it felt like a long time had passed.
As soon as I walked up the stairs and entered the gate of the college building, I met Vice Dean Sun. She couldn't help but think of that Saturday morning when she had severely beaten up Vice Dean Sun's cousin's daughter. Now that he had met Vice President Sun, Chen Jin carefully observed Vice President Sun's expression. He guessed that Bai Ling had not had time to complain, or it was possible that Vice President Sun did not take the matter to heart at all.
Vice Dean Sun looked up at Chen Jin and said, "Xiao Chen, so early?"
Chen Jin: “…”
She took back what she had just said. She suspected that Vice Dean Sun was trying to trick her into being late for work. I greeted her with a forced smile, and when I got to the office, she was actually the first one to arrive.
Well, Vice President Sun was sincerely praising her for coming early.
As soon as I arrived at my office, I first threw away the wilted flowers on the table and washed the vase with water. Then I went back to the office and wiped my desk with a rag. Finally, he took out the thermos and cup from his locked cabinet and went to the end of the corridor to get hot water.
After doing all this, Zhou Ding finally arrived.
Chen Jin joked, "You are becoming more and more experienced. You used to be number one." How come she was the most leisurely person in the office, but gradually became the one who seemed to be the most active at work?
Zhou Ding was stunned. "Now that you mention it, I realize that I am indeed coming in later and later." He sorted out the messy documents on the table and said, "After working for a long time, I found that the work of the day is just like that. It doesn't make any difference whether you come early or leave early, as you can get it done."
After that, he sighed and said, "To be honest, this job has a foreseeable end. When can I buy a house in Rong City? The school said it will build collective housing, but I don't know if it will really be built. If this is suitable and there is a small apartment, I can still scrape together the money to buy it. For houses outside, I can only buy old houses. The old houses near our Nanjing University are not cheap and they are old. It is too difficult to buy a new house. I can't buy one at all. There are ordinary new houses that have been opened now. I went to see one. It's in Xicheng District and it costs more than one thousand yuan per square meter."
Chen Jin listened quietly without expressing any opinion. Just after a weekend, Zhou Ding suddenly became anxious about the house. He didn't know what had stimulated him.
"One of my classmates in college joined Cheng Group right after graduation. This year, he was promoted to assistant to the vice president. He has already made a down payment on a house, and the monthly payments are very comfortable. Another classmate chose to return to his hometown county after graduation. He has now been allocated a house and is preparing to get married."
"Well, just think of me as just nagging." Zhou Ding took a deep breath and forced a laugh. "It's not right for me to think so. Most of my classmates are similar to me. I can't just stare at the person who is ahead."
Chen Jin scratched her face. She knew that Zhou Ding was just emotional and couldn't help but speak out, but she couldn't comfort him by saying "you will have money and a house." She was just lucky enough to catch the village demolition. As a middle-class wealthy woman, she felt that she was showing off and asking others to do the same for her when she comforted them.
Just say nothing and listen quietly.
The other person may not need comfort. After he said this, I guess in his heart, the matter is over.
Sure enough, when Teacher He and Teacher Chang came to work, Zhou Ding had already calmed down and was like an energetic young teacher again. However, that enthusiasm did not last for an hour. When his students came to him to apply, Zhou Ding's expression quickly fell.
A few minutes after the student left, the entire office was filled with his furious voice, "You're already a junior and you want to drop out? Three of you are dropping out at once? You won't be happy unless they cause trouble for me, right?! Ah!"
Everyone watched him vent silently. After a while, Zhou Ding contacted the student's parents again and spoke in a friendly tone.
Alas, such a good young man was driven crazy by the junior class. Chen Jin felt so sorry for them that he prayed for this class of students to graduate quickly and leave. It would probably be much better if a new class of freshmen came along.
Really, the students in the junior year are the craziest.
The sophomores taught by Teacher He were the most serious of the incidents last semester, where off-campus people beat up students from our school and parents of female students from other colleges complained about the counselor of the School of Arts. Everything else was fine. By the way, ever since the other girl’s parents came to make a fuss, the matter seemed to have died down, and she really didn’t pay attention to the follow-up situation.
Chen Jin asked Teacher He.
Teacher He's expression was hard to describe. "The boy was warned by the girl's parents not to go looking for the girl, but she still went looking for the boy. The girl's parents even called me from time to time. Didn't you see me going out to look for students often this semester?"
This...why would she care about what Teacher He is doing?
"I tried to persuade her, her counselor tried to persuade her, her parents tried to persuade her, but the boy still didn't dare to show up. I doubt she had to have that boy, I guess she was just deliberately going against her parents."
Teacher He sighed and said, "I don't dare to control our daughter too much now, for fear that she will rebel. In our generation, there is only one child in the family, and she is a girl. If she is deceived by a man with bad intentions, it will be very infuriating. We have worked so hard to raise her."
Chen Jin added quietly, "My mother also worked hard to raise me, so I definitely won't even look at those mediocre guys out there. Otherwise, I'm afraid my mother will be so angry that she'll jump out of her bed."
The other three: “…”
Teacher He stammered. She really couldn't win the argument with Chen Jin, so she simply said, "Alright, alright, I won't introduce you to anyone in the future, okay? Really, it's just after Qingming Festival, and you're saying these things..."
"I don't need your help to introduce someone! If I really want to find someone, what can't I find?" Chen Jin laughed proudly, "What are you afraid of? If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. You can do a good deed by introducing fewer people to your relatives. The matchmaker's money is hot to handle. If you don't do it well, you will become enemies. Hey, Teacher He, I'm not targeting you. Don't take it to heart."
Chen Jin is always like this, smiling happily, and you can't be sure whether she is really warning you to "mind her own business" or joking, or both. But it's just this half and half that makes it difficult for people to quarrel with her.
Oh, she is not afraid of you getting angry. She never said, "At worst I can quit," but her attitude and behavior said so.
Teacher He decided to ignore her so that she would be less angry. He turned around and took his thermos to get hot water.
"I'll go get some hot water too." Teacher Chang said with a smile. It was quite interesting to watch Chen Jin and Teacher He bickering every day.
Chen Jin asked Zhou Ding and confirmed that no students came to see her during her leave, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Zhou Ding had another headache, "Why is there such a big gap between other people's students and my students?!"
After a while, Teacher He came back and said mysteriously, "A male teacher has come to our college. He graduated with a master's degree last year and will start teaching next semester. He looks okay. I heard that he was recommended by a friend of the dean."
What's so mysterious about this? Anyway, we all work in the same college building, so we will meet sooner or later. Occasionally, when the college holds a meeting, we will also meet each other.
Before twelve o'clock, Chen Jin had already arrived at the cafeteria. He looked left and right with his food tray in hand, and when he didn't see anyone familiar, he found a seat in the corner and sat down. When she finished eating and was about to leave, Shen Baichuan came belatedly with a meal tray, “A student asked questions today, so it took a while.”
Seeing that her plate was clean and not a grain of rice was left, he said, "No need to wait for me, you can go back first."
Chen Jin looked at him as if he were a monster, and she didn't say she would wait for him!
Forget it, just treat it as his unintentional nonsense.
"Then I'll leave first. Daju will wait for me at home." Chen Jin walked out of the cafeteria for a while, clicked his tongue, and said to himself, "It's incomprehensible. What else should I explain to him? Really..."
For the next five days, Chen Jin always caught up with Shen Baichuan who had reserved a seat in advance, so he went over to eat together. Among the ten times, he addressed him as "Teacher Shen" seven times, and the remaining three times he called him by his name "Chen Baichuan".
Chen Jin just shouted it casually, and didn't do any of these statistics. It was all calculated secretly by Shen Baichuan himself.
After dinner in the evening, Chen Jin would sometimes take a walk in the school for half an hour before going back. Sometimes, he would take Daju with him and walk around Wutong Road twice after going back.
The sign of the tutoring institution diagonally opposite the community was flashing, and Chen Jin only once felt like going over to take a look. After that, he always wanted to go over and play. Because there was a parent there with his puppy waiting for his child to go to cram school, and her orange dog was naughty and had to go over and paw the dog. Fortunately, she picked up the orange dog and ran away quickly, and did not tell anyone that she was friends with the three bosses of this institution. Otherwise, she was afraid that parents would complain to the institution.
"It's no use calling you meow. I can't take you there anyway." Chen Jin stood at the gate of the community, looking at the newly opened tutoring institution opposite, the sign of which was flashing.
"Chen Lu and the others are already troubled enough by facing external competition, so don't add to the chaos."
The tutoring institutions across the street now not only offer low prices, but also provide free final sprint courses when you sign up, and there are also classes to predict the questions for the high school entrance examination... I have to say, this gimmick is really enough to attract parents from outside. The key is that the teachers they invite are not bad either. Many of them are old teachers from well-known schools in Rong City, with many years of teaching experience, and some even have experience in setting questions for the high school entrance examination!
As high school teachers, both sides are the same, there is not much difference. But the other organization did a good job in publicity, and now their flyers are everywhere in Nanjing University Affiliated High School.
No wonder Lin Xinran and Chen Lu don’t get enough sleep.
There is only one day off this week, and Chen Jin doesn’t want to go anywhere. He feels that this weekend is not happy enough.
She didn't want to go out, but someone wanted to come to her door.
First, the group of little kids in the community saw that her door was open, so they lay on the gate and called Daju in to go out and play. They also kidnapped Xiaobai from Professor Shen's house.
Just as Chen Jin was about to go out to open the door, he heard Professor Shen shouting in the community not far away: "Le Le! Ping Ping! Have you seen my Xiao Bai?"
Chen Jin stood in the yard, staring silently at several children outside the yard across the fence. Xiaobai, who was held by Lele, seemed quite happy... This is also a heartless cat.
"Have you brought Xiaobai out and told Professor Shen? Go and tell Professor Shen. Look, Professor Shen is looking for Xiaobai everywhere."
Lele pouted and said, "Grandma Shen said that she could carry Xiaobai out."
This is fine, as long as they don't sneak over here. Chen Jin hurriedly waved to Professor Shen.
After some explanation, Xiaobai decided to stay. A group of kids took Xiaobai to the backyard to find Daju. Finally, Daju took Xiaobai to play in Shen Baichuan's backyard, leaving them staring blankly in her backyard. One by one, no one dared to go to Shen Baichuan’s house. When asked why they didn't dare to go, they all said that they were a little afraid of Teacher Shen. When we asked them why they were afraid, they couldn't answer. They touched their heads and said, "I don't know. I just feel scared when I see it."
As a result, Shen Baichuan came out to the backyard and asked them if they wanted to go over to eat cake. One by one, they were no longer afraid of Teacher Shen and started chattering in the pavilion in the backyard of Shen Baichuan's house.
Chen Jin suddenly remembered what he had thought of before, which was to hang a sign that said "Daju Kindergarten" at the door of his house. In less than half a year, the "Daju Kindergarten" has doubled in size.
The two chatted across the fence, and Shen Baichuan said that he and his friends were going to Qiaoxi Village next week to see the situation in person, and then asked: "Do you want to go with us?"
Chen Jin laughed, "You sent me this invitation because you are afraid that you will be embarrassed when you go to the village, so you want me to go over and help you, right?"
"Not really. I just thought that maybe after this week, I could see some fun things to do." Seeing some fun things once would make me feel good for the whole week. "Hasn't there been any results for the last incident? Let's go next week, there should be some results."
"No, no." Chen Jin waved his hand and said, "Before I left that day, I told my grandfather that it might take two or three years for Qiaoxi Village to be demolished. Now everyone in the village is saying that it won't be demolished. I won't go over to join in the fun. I suggest you keep a low profile. You went there with me last time. People must have thought you and I were in the same group."
She has an appointment with Chen Jiaxin to take a photo next week, which will be taken on the NTU campus. The week after next is the May Day holiday. She had to go back to Hanlin Garden because the property would be launched on May 1st and she had to be there.
I'm not free.
“Your doorbell rang.” Shen Baichuan reminded her.
"Oh, then you just watch here. Don't let my Big Orange get bullied." Big Orange is so small, only half a year old. In front of the chubby Little White, he is like a little chick. It feels like Xiaobai can control Daju with just one claw.
"......Yeah." As soon as she walked out, Shen Baichuan turned around and took a look. Xiaobai was sitting there obediently, while Daju would stretch out his claws at every turn.
Who is bullying whom here?
Seeing Shen Baichuan looking over, Daju became even more arrogant, as if he had a backer and was more confident.
Chen Jin went out to open the door and was surprised, yet not surprised, to see Professor Song, who came over with a plate of exquisitely shaped pastries. "Xiao He made some new pastries. He said they are made of coconut. You should try some too."
"Okay, then you come in and sit down." Chen Jin also smiled, took the pastries brought by Professor Song, and then got a cup of warm water for Professor Song.
The white pastry exudes a fresh coconut fragrance and looks like jelly. "Mm! Delicious! Aunt He's cooking skills have improved greatly again."
Chen Jin ate three pieces of cake in a row. Each piece was quite large, and three pieces were enough to fill him up. He leaned back and touched his stomach. Suddenly he said, "Professor Song, I want to enroll in night school recently, but I haven't decided what major to choose. Can you give me some advice and see which major is more suitable for me?"
"I may make some small investments in the future, or I may want to build a factory. Uh... that is, my current plan is not very clear, and I don't know what is suitable for me to study. Professor Kong said that economics is a panacea, and the theory of business management can be learned by reading more books. After all, Professor Kong is a professor, and his suggestions may not be suitable for me. I want to listen to the opinions of other teachers. What do you think?"
Professor Song looked at the densely packed information that Chen Jin handed over, which were all sorted out by her, mainly analyzing which courses currently offered in the night school were suitable for her...
"I have been studying physics for most of my life, so I really can't give you any advice on economics and management. So, let me ask my old friends for help and see if they have any good suggestions."
"Thank you so much, Professor Song!" Chen Jin sighed and said, "I didn't expect that after all the hard work of graduating, I still have to continue studying."
"I see that you are very motivated. Wouldn't it be better if you could apply for graduate school?" Although she usually seems to be only focused on eating, drinking and having fun, you can tell from the information that she does not neglect eating, drinking, having fun or studying.
Chen Jin shook his head. "No, no. Professor Kong also said that it would be a waste of time for me to take the postgraduate entrance examination. It would be better for me to go to night school to study a practical course."
Professor Song came over and sat for more than an hour, and the two avoided talking about what happened on Saturday. We ate some pastries, watched some TV and chatted, and half an afternoon passed.
After seeing Professor Song off, Chen Jin collected the materials on the table and called his third cousin, asking him, "You said you were coming to get the materials. When are you coming?"
"We're ready." The third cousin said, "Call the guard. I can't get in."
My third cousin parked his car in front of Professor Song’s house.
He walked in and asked, "Is it okay to stop there?"
"It's okay, don't think too much. I don't take that little thing to heart." Chen Jin went upstairs and gave the three copies of the documents in the study to his third cousin.
Seeing that he was not in a hurry to leave, she took out the unfinished pastries that Professor Song had brought.
"On the day of the meeting, Jiang Weiguo said he wanted me to work at a travel agency. They don't really want to do that, do they?"
"Half and half." The third cousin didn't like the sweet taste of the cakes, so he reluctantly ate one piece before stopping and said, "We used to call it a travel agency, but now there are more people, so we have to call it a company. With more people, management is not a simple matter. I estimate that by the end of this year, we will have more than a hundred people. The second brother suggested that we should standardize all departments of the company first, saying that we are just a makeshift team now, so we should either continue to learn or find a professional to help with management."
"If we hire someone, we will definitely have to share some shares. These are all small matters. Sharing some shares is what everyone agreed on. However, Huang Hao has not let it go and is meddling in too many things... Before, Jiang Weiguo and I went out to lead a group, and he was in charge of the rear. In the future, Jiang Weiguo and I will not go out, and we will definitely participate in the management of the company. Jiang Weiguo didn't have many ideas. He thought that since he and I were both going to participate in the management of the company, he would let you come along as well, so that it would be fair. Given our relationship, we will definitely have the right to speak."
When Chen Jin thought of the scene that day, he understood.
"Because the rear area can no longer have the final say, Huang Hao feels uncomfortable, right? No wonder Jiang Weiguo wanted me to go over to work, Huang Hao looked a little unhappy." Chen Jin said again: "You're not still thinking of asking me to give up my share, are you?"
"I can't give up my share." Chen Jin said confidently: "When I invested the money, I was expecting the worst-case scenario that the money would go down the drain. I can't take the risk and then kick me out once they start making money."
Chen Jin patted the three documents on the table and said, "Third brother, you should let them prepare for the night school entrance exam. Their ideological awareness and vision need to be improved. If they are not doing well now, there will be many more times when they are not doing well in the future. Anyway, I will definitely make additional investments in the future, and no one can get rid of me and eat the meat."
