Three years
Chen Jin's cell phone and phone were busy for a while. When she went to work at school, she got a new nickname from her students - Boss Chen.
Not to mention her friends, she used to joke that she wanted to be a rich woman, but now everyone just calls her rich woman.
"Why do I feel that it sounds better for you to call her Sister Jin?" Chen Jin is not used to Nie Rong and the others calling her "Rich Woman Jin" all the time. She feels that if she calls her that, she won't be rich enough.
"Oh, that's not important!" Nie Rong hesitated for a while, then found Chen Jin and said that he planned to propose to Lin Xinran after she graduated, and asked her for advice.
Chen Jin rolled his eyes. "Are you sure? You're asking me for advice? Do I look like someone with experience in proposing marriage?"
That's true, but, "Jin Jie, you have a good relationship with Xin Ran, so I have to come to you for advice..."
Chen Jin held the phone, shaking his head like a fan. "You should look for someone else. Let me put myself in Lin Xinran's shoes. I finally finished my master's degree, and my friends and I are doing well in our business. Suddenly, my partner proposed to me. Does that mean we will get married and have kids next? My eyes go dark when I think about it."
"Of course, these are all my own ideas. Maybe Lin Xinran has other ideas. If you ask me, don't have any surprises for such a big thing. Discuss it seriously and confirm that you want to get married, then choose a time to surprise you."
"Don't ask me. I really have no experience and don't know how to give you advice."
Chen Jin finished the call quickly, and after hanging up, he still felt horrified, saying to himself, "That was too scary."
Then he said to Shen Baichuan who was sitting opposite him: "You too, don't give me any surprises. It would be so embarrassing for both sides to lose face."
Shen Baichuan nodded and said ok. "If you want to get married, just tell me. My household registration book and ID card are here."
"......" She said it as if she couldn't help but abduct the person to her home's household registration book.
Chen Jin wanted to refute, but his eyes glanced over and he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He tutted and said, "Put on your clothes properly. If you really feel hot, you can learn from the old men and wear a big white vest. That way you will feel cool."
Shen Baichuan's mind instantly flashed the image of the old man in the village wearing a large white vest and waving a large cattail leaf fan. He had seen it quite often when he went to Qiaoxi Village before.
Silently, he buttoned up his shirt.
"Where are we going to go during the summer vacation?"
Chen Jin moved the calendar next to the table and said, "It's only the end of April. Summer vacation is in July, so it's still early!"
"By the way, when I went back to worship my ancestors during the Qingming Festival, I saw that the construction in Qiaoxi Village was almost done. It looks like it will be completed this year."
But Shen Baichuan shook his head and said, “A portion of the properties should be released for sale first, and the relocated houses will be sold later.”
That’s right. They separated the house for sale from the resettlement housing for Qiaoxi Village. Except for the name of the community, everything else is not shared.
But this really can't be explained.
"Okay, it's the same if it's completed next year. They wrote that it would take three years to deliver, so that's fine."
By then, I'll probably ask my third uncle to help take care of the house there. It is impossible for cousin Meng Chong to go back to help manage the business. Now, cousin Meng Chong has been transferred to the purchasing department. He is doing well in the company and has no intention of going back to manage the building.
Also, the construction of the land she owns near the East Railway Station is about to start, and the person in charge of the project will be transferred over there from Jinshun.
There are a lot of things, but there don’t seem to be enough people.
She had just talked about her own affairs when Shen Baichuan came to ask her where she wanted to go for summer vacation.
I spent more than half a month playing outside last summer vacation and had a great time.
Chen Jin was actually a little tempted. The clothes he bought last summer vacation had only been worn once or twice, so he could actually wear them again.
"It doesn't matter where we go. I don't have any other plans for this summer vacation."
She definitely doesn't need to keep an eye on the company every day, and there's nothing else important to do at home during the summer vacation. So, it’s still okay to go out and play.
"Grandpa and grandma said they will return to Rong City after the return. Will they return during the summer vacation?"
Shen Baichuan was not sure, “I will definitely go back to Rong City, but I may have to come back next year.”
Chen Jin said happily, "That's fine. As long as there's nothing serious going on in your company, we can go out for a walk. I'll go check the map..."
“Hey…” Shen Baichuan was able to stop people from shouting, and Chen Jin left as soon as he said he would.
The glass of juice on the table was still there, untouched, Shen Baichuan sighed helplessly, picked up the juice and followed him upstairs.
Another class of students was about to graduate, and people from Chen Jin's company came to the school to recruit people.
I originally thought that the College of Humanities was better, at least with Chen Jin's name, it could attract some outstanding students, but it might be difficult to recruit students from other colleges.
But unexpectedly, the results of the recruitment were quite good and I received quite a few resumes.
Chen Jin took some time to go to the company and happened to visit the Human Resources Department. He looked through the list of people to be hired and saw a name that looked familiar. He thought about it carefully and pulled out that resume separately.
"This student is not suitable for our company. Let's find someone else to fill the position."
The HR manager looked at the student's resume and found out that he was hired for a publicity position. Judging from his resume alone, he was actually very suitable for the position. When I saw again that it was from the School of Humanities, I wondered if there was something wrong with this student’s resume and the boss found out?
"Let's change someone else." Chen Jin didn't explain much. He couldn't just tell the people in the company that this student was two-timing while studying, and that she looked down on people with this kind of character, right?
Besides, who knows if all his troubles have been resolved? If any girl he had been with came to the company again in the future...she didn't want her company to be on the gossip news column.
The HR manager didn't think much about it. The boss had already spoken, and the talent was not that rare, so changing to another one would not have any impact at all.
Maybe because they are about to graduate, Lin Xinran and the other two are as busy as three pandas.
They met by chance in the cafeteria that day and heard the three of them and the three people from Feng Cunzhen's dormitory whispering about their respective mentors.
Chen Jin reminded them to talk after dinner.
Lin Xinran let out a long sigh of resentment, "I'm so unhappy that I'm going to be tortured to death if I don't say it. I always have to change this and that. I think I may not be able to graduate."
I am as worried as a bitter gourd.
Even Chen Lu, who always had the upper hand in studying, felt uncomfortable and her eyebrows were wrinkled like a caterpillar.
"You're fine, I'm following Professor Jiang..."
Yang Qian also looked up at this time and said faintly: "I am also Professor Jiang."
Chen Jin instantly recalled the scene when he went to see Professor Jiang Chaosheng with his graduation thesis that he had revised countless times during his senior year. It was terrifying!
To be honest, Professor Jiang is a good teacher and very responsible. He was really angry when Yang Qian and Chen Lu dragged their feet on submitting their graduation thesis.
Now three years have passed, and these two troublesome students are here again... For a moment, she didn't know whether she should feel sorry for Yang Qian and Chen Lu, or Professor Jiang.
But no matter what, she doesn't have to write the thesis. It turns out that this world cannot be completely full of joys and sorrows. Anyway, she certainly can't be sad now. She is even in a good mood because her students have been so well-behaved recently and have not caused any trouble. hey-hey!
but! but!
"Stop talking, let's go back to the dormitory at noon and talk about it."
Lin Xinran snorted, "You are happy that you don't have to write a paper now, but are you still trying to stop us from complaining?"
Hearing this, Chen Jin stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he greeted the people sitting in the row behind them, "Professor Jiang, Professor Zhong... It's rare to see you come to the cafeteria to eat."
"I heard that the food in the cafeteria is delicious, let's give it a try. Hey, aren't these my two students? Haha, Lao Zhong, your students are here too."
"!!!"
Chen Jin received shocked looks from the opposite row of people.
"Hey, I told you to stop talking. I winked at you so many times but you didn't respond. You said there was something wrong with my eyes and that I spoke in a mosquito-like voice."
Coming out of the cafeteria, Chen Jin couldn't help laughing. The scene just now was probably something he would never forget in his life.
Shen Baichuan almost laughed out loud at that time. The teacher in the opposite row was sitting with his back to them, and he was not very familiar with him, so he did not recognize him at all.
Chen Jin smiled and said, "It would be hard for me not to recognize the teachers in our college."
Especially the teacher in the Chinese department, who had taught her for four years. When she became a counselor, the person who complained to her the most in the past three years was her own teacher. Don’t recognize anyone? That doesn't make sense.
But as time went by, Nie Rong never mentioned his wish to propose to her as a surprise again, as he had mentioned to her the last time.
As the graduation defense was approaching, Chen Jin suddenly remembered this and couldn't help but give Nie Rong a call to ask out of curiosity.
"Wait a year or two before getting married? Okay, don't worry, I will definitely give you a big red envelope when the time comes, and yours will definitely be included."
She guessed that Lin Xinran was under a lot of pressure. Nie Rong's family wanted him to get married and have children as soon as possible, and Lin Xinran's family also wanted her and Nie Rong to settle down as soon as possible.
If this was Lin Xinran when she just graduated from college, she might have gotten married earlier. But now? In Lin Xinran's words, making money is always more reliable than finding a man.
“Shen Baichuan, my uncle asked if you are going back to Hong Kong or staying in Rong City? We will all get together for dinner then.”
While answering the phone, Chen Jin walked around to Shen Baichuan's house from the backyard, but didn't see anyone downstairs. He went up to the study on the second floor and saw someone reading a book.
After asking the question again, Shen Baichuan said without hesitation: “Stay in Rong City and have dinner together.”
Chen Jin replied to the phone: "Uncle, Shen Baichuan wants to stay at home for dinner. He said he wants to eat braised pork ribs, braised pork, and fried chicken legs. Remember to give the menu to Uncle San, and we'll go back to eat."
There is still half a month until the 1st, and my uncle has already made arrangements.
Shen Baichuan still had the book in his hand, and looked at her with a half-smile as she finished the call without changing her expression.
"Who wants to eat?"
"Of course it's you! I think you eat the most delicious food." Chen Jin said confidently.
It certainly wouldn't be her.
Chen Jin turned to look at the books in Shen Baichuan's study. Many of the books he had here were very serious, and there were no novels or anything like that.
Most of the books she has don't overlap.
Chen Jin suddenly thought of the study room in his future home. He must connect two rooms to accommodate it.
"What are you thinking about? I called you hello three times but you ignored me." Shen Baichuan leaned over from behind, and Chen Jin came back to his senses.
He said casually, "I'm thinking about preparing for the end of this semester. This class is graduating, and my students will graduate next year... It's too hot, don't come over here... I say you're really good at saving electricity. Not only do you not turn on the air conditioner, you don't even turn on the electric fan, you take a sauna at home..."
"Chen Jin, every time you are shy you will talk a lot of nonsense." She keeps talking, and if you are not careful, you will be led by her.
But he was very experienced now, and when he was about to be led away, he woke up in time and pressed her "horn button".
"Why should I be shy? Don't run away later. Come here."
"......"
Shen Baichuan took a deep breath, and when he was about to walk over, Chen Jin turned around and went downstairs in a flash, and the stairs were clattering with her footsteps.
While walking, he hummed a song, "I have horns on my head and a tail behind me..."
He could imagine how proud she was at this moment. If she had a tail following her, she would really be so proud.
She came upstairs for a few minutes, and he no longer had the heart to continue reading, so he followed her downstairs.
As soon as I walked into the living room, I heard the conversation between Professor Song and Chen Jin coming from the backyard.
"Xiao Jin, Aunt He made some jelly. You and Baichuan can come over and have some."
"Okay, I'll go call him now."
The half-hidden door leading to the backyard was pushed open, and the sunlight poured in. Chen Jinzhao waved at him and said, "Let's go to Professor Song's house to drink jelly! Where's Daju? Daju..."
So, when Ms. Shen called him again in the evening and asked him to return to Hong Kong after the end of the semester, he refused again.
"It doesn't matter where you watch TV. Chen Jin's house is more lively."
Ms. Shen didn't insist anymore.
When asked by his parents and brothers, he replied, "I told him not to come back. It's not easy for someone to want him, so it's better to keep a close eye on him."
Therefore, no one from the Shen family said anything about calling Shen Baichuan back to celebrate together.
Before the end of June, Yang Qian and her classmates finally completed their graduation defense.
Before the defense, everyone felt as if their energy had been sucked away by a demon. After the defense, they all looked like lively monsters capable of destroying the world.
Chen Jin reminded Lin Xinran for the third time, "Don't smile so stupidly. If the photos turn out ugly, you'll blame me for my poor photography skills."
Is this a problem with photography technique? It's clearly a human problem!
But Lin Xinran really couldn't hold back, and she was still very excited to show Chen Jin her diploma, "It was too difficult, I thought I couldn't graduate! You're right, Xichan Temple is a bit spiritual."
Chen Jin was shocked. "No, I just said that. Did you really go and burn incense and pray to God to let you graduate smoothly?"
"Don't talk nonsense, it's really accurate. We are planning to open an institution in another place, and I'm going to ask where is the best place to go first." Lin Xinran is now the number one feudal superstitious person.
Chen Jin smiled at Chen Lu and Yang Qian and said, "Doing business with this big liar, you must be very nervous, right?"
Yang Qian and Chen Lu smiled but said nothing: Who could be a bigger liar than you? !
They ran around the school laughing and taking a lot of photos.
Lin Xinran suddenly sighed: "Look, three years just passed in the blink of an eye. When we graduated from our senior year, we said we could just take some photos casually and wait until the next graduation to take some serious photos."
Chen Jin immediately stopped the tendency of sadness and said, "Don't be pretentious. If you want to take pictures, you can take them any day."
Now that I look at it, I didn’t take it that seriously. Chen Jin took a day off from work and was too lazy to even dress up. If she wasn't afraid that her students would see her and ruin her image, they suspected that she might go out to take pictures in just a pair of slippers.
The three of them were too lazy to dress up. It was useless anyway. The haggard look on their faces would slowly recover after graduation.
Only Yang Qian is smiling now, but she will have to suffer in the next three years.
That's right, she is going to stay in school to continue her doctoral studies.
Chen Jin looked at Yang Qian like a warrior and admired her very much.
They were filming like this, just like they were three years ago, finding a place to sit lazily, not wanting to move at all.
It’s also a little different. Three years later, Chen Lu joined the team. Think about it, making friends really depends on fate. We saw each other every day at school in college, but we weren't friends. Three years later, we had meals together a few times and slowly became friends.
Chen Lu said, "It depends a lot on fate. I used to be really annoyed with you because you always got first place in the exams, but it's like I was cursed and couldn't pass the exam no matter what."
After saying that, he laughed.
Later, I lived my life well and began to accept my own shortcomings and the excellence of others peacefully.
Chen Lu added: "When it comes to tutoring, you can't compare to me."
Chen Jin laughed out loud and said, "Who wants to compete with you in tutoring? Every time I tutor someone, I feel like I will live one day less."
After saying that, Chen Jin nudged Yang Qian with his elbow and said, "You and Zhuo Jiyu are going to have a child in three years. His family didn't say anything, right?"
"How dare they say that to me?" Yang Qian chuckled and said, "The whole family knows that Zhuo Jiyu can't have children. If I were pregnant, then they would have a lot to say."
Chen Jin and the other three had their eyes wide open and their mouths opened involuntarily.
"No, he can't have children, so you... Tsk! Hey... You're not trying so hard because you can't have children, are you?"
This time it was Yang Qian's turn to look at Chen Jin in shock. Yang Qian, a married woman, blushed at what she said, especially Chen Jin's tone, "Chen Jin, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
Yang Qian really wanted to roll her eyes at them, "Can't you hear that? Zhuo Jiyu is just talking nonsense. I don't know how to tell my family now. My parents even asked me if we can't live together anymore and we can get a divorce."
Speaking of this, Yang Qian couldn't help but call Zhuo Jiyu a bastard again. "He didn't even tell me in advance. During this period, my parents and my in-laws looked at me as if I had done something wrong. I can't imagine how I'm going to undo this lie in the future."
Don't let people think it was her idea...
In this regard, Chen Jin could only say that it was not unreasonable for Zhuo Jiyu and Shen Baichuan to become friends. The way of thinking is quite strange.
"From this perspective, Zhuo Jiyu has been pretty good to you, so why do you keep scolding him every day?"
Yang Qian looked at Chen Jin and sighed, saying, "You'll know when you get married."
After she said this, Chen Jin's recent thoughts about getting married were put to rest.
The four of them sat huddled together, giggling from time to time, and you could tell at a glance that they were not saying anything good.
After saying goodbye to the others, Chen Jin turned around and went to look for Shen Baichuan.
"What did you say that makes you so happy?"
"Haha, I can't tell you this." Chen Jin made a gesture to cover his mouth.
"But I'm really happy today." Chen Jin tossed the keys in her hand up and down, and the keys made a cheerful, crisp tinkling sound as they collided, as if expressing all the happiness in her heart.
“You are so happy every day.” Shen Baichuan followed closely behind her.
The light passed through the lush branches and leaves, falling on Wutong Road like star-like dots. Chen Jin stepped on one beam of light, and then another. He also stepped on it, which was quite interesting.
"I am much happier today than I was yesterday."
Yesterday she wrote recommendation letters for another twenty students, saying that her students were really promising and that they didn't even need her to mobilize them, and were now looking for internships and jobs on their own.
Some units even called her to inquire about the situation and asked for people, which made her so happy that she ate half a bowl of rice more in the evening.
So, what's the happy thing today?
Chen Jin said briskly: "If it weren't for Lin Xinran and the others saying that, I would have thought that I had wasted the past three years."
"Actually?" Shen Baichuan asked following her words.
"My family is fine, I have 123456 more friends, I have so much money that I don't know how to spend it, and there is also Shen Baichuan..."
In fact, if you take a closer look, wow! She is really a “rich woman”!
