Toast
At the main gate, the ruffians who came to cause trouble had not yet left. Three of them were carried away by their own children. A few were still there, not daring to continue making trouble but sticking their necks out, pretending to be "I'm not wrong, I'm not afraid", but no one paid any attention to them.
My uncle and several elders, as well as Geng Xin and Baiyou’s former workers were talking to the police from the police station. After sending the people away, they invited the people who came to watch the fun to go home and have dinner.
The third cousin smiled helplessly and said, "One time is enough to make ten times the noise. You thought it through and prepared the horn in advance."
When he saw her carrying out a box of speakers from the office, he was shocked: Do we have to upgrade our "equipment" when we have a fight now? !
In the past, when people in the village quarreled, whoever had the loudest voice or spoke fastest would have the advantage. Now you can’t rely on your voice anymore. Once the loud speaker is turned on, your voice is useless and the sound can be completely suppressed.
"I waited for many days but no one showed up. I knew they would definitely pick the opening day to cause trouble." Chen Jin said, "I'm just giving them face today. Next time they come, I'm really going to cause trouble at their families' workplaces."
Seeing that everyone was driving to the restaurant one after another and Shen Baichuan was still standing nearby, she waved her hand and said, “You go greet your friends first, and I’ll wait for the others.”
Shen Baichuan just drove out, and the third cousin looked back and saw that Chen Jin's friends and the people in the village had driven away, and the eldest and second brothers also followed to entertain people. The rest were either people from the company or their own family members. The smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he asked, "What is your relationship with Shen Baichuan now?"
"Don't tell me you two have nothing to do with each other. Although I've never been in a relationship, I still have eyes. Are you being worthy of me? Didn't you promise not to bring someone home for dinner without saying a word?"
"Ah?" Chen Jin was shocked. "Third brother, you really have never had a date?! When Third Aunt told me, I didn't believe it. I even said you are really good at hiding things. Look, no one knows."
The third cousin snorted heavily and glared at her, "Trying to change the subject again?! Tell the truth!"
Chen Jin spread his hands and asked confidently, "When did I bring people home for dinner? Don't worry, even if I don't notify others, I will definitely notify you, the third brother, in advance, don't worry."
How can he be at ease? Does this mean you really plan to bring someone home for dinner?
As soon as Chen Jin finished speaking, he caught sight of someone walking towards him from the door. Chen Jin quickly waved and said, "Let's go, let's go over there and eat early. We're hungry."
After saying that, she arranged for someone to take the bus. The taxi they called was already waiting outside the door. Uncle Wang wanted to stay and watch the house, but Chen Jin simply had someone take him into the taxi.
The third cousin wanted to continue asking, but he didn't find the opportunity to ask. He thought, let it go for now. He could avoid it today, but not tomorrow. He didn't believe that she would find an excuse to change the subject tomorrow.
There aren't many valuable things in the company, and the police just came. Who would dare to cause trouble at this time? I asked the owner of the convenience store diagonally opposite to keep an eye on the door, and the rest of the people went to the restaurant.
Chen Jin took Geng Xin along, and because Daju refused to give up its passenger seat, Geng Xin had no choice but to sit in the back.
"If you make a scene today, you're going to be famous in the family compound."
Chen Jin smiled, "It doesn't matter whether you become famous or not, as long as you get the benefits."
After saying that, Chen Jin thought of the former garment factory leaders who showed up later today, and said, "They might really not be able to withstand the investigation in the past." After hearing what Liao Ke from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission said, everyone became scared.
"I didn't go back to Baiyou for the bad debt. I investigated privately at that time, but couldn't find any evidence. I won't find anything if I investigate again now. It's good to make them feel afraid." Geng Xin smiled and said, "To be honest, I feel very happy today."
"Hehe, I've already said that going crazy occasionally is good for your physical and mental health. However, I've already gone crazy in our company today, so you don't have to worry about it. Just work honestly and quickly put up the Hundred Excellent flag again. The most important thing is."
"The storefront has been rented and is being renovated. We still need to consider the first batch of new models..."
After Geng Xincai and Chen Jin reported the latest progress, the car had already arrived at the hotel.
There were quite a few people coming to the opening today, and the second floor was reserved by them.
The division was quite clear. One table was for Shen Baichuan's friends, one table was for Wei Zhenhua's friends, one table was for his family, one table was for the company's people, two tables were for Geng Xin's guests, and eight tables were for the villagers...
There are really quite a lot of people.
In the past, she would attend other people's banquets and only care about eating and drinking by herself. It was finally her turn to treat everyone, so she couldn't just focus on eating and drinking.
She was also afraid that everyone would start to jeer and ask her to "say a few words". Cursing a few words would be a good way to express herself, but saying a few words would leave her with nothing to say. As soon as she arrived, she asked the waiter to serve the food, and then greeted everyone, "Enjoy your meal, don't be polite." She also quickly found a seat at the company's table and sat down.
It’s tiring to argue, let’s eat something first.
After eating just a little, Chen Jin received a hint from his uncle and hurriedly took another bite of the dish. Then he invited Geng Xin to toast together.
You can't just invite people to have a meal and then send them away, right? This won't work.
Chen Jin first went with Geng Xin to toast the people at the next table, who were all friends invited by Geng Xin. There are former purchasing directors, sales directors, department store managers, and even several distributors from Parkview.
It was only after she had established the company that she learned from Geng Xin that Baiyou had originally intended to engage in franchise chain business. However, as soon as Geng Xin achieved some success, he lost the title of acting factory director, and a new factory director was parachuted in directly.
Now, Geng Xin plans to continue to develop the chain franchise, and the dealers she invited are all relationships she had maintained before.
This table was Geng Xin's home turf, and Chen Jin had no intention of showing off. From now on, the person who would be in the forefront doing things would still be Geng Xin, and the person who would be dealing with these people would still be Geng Xin, so she would not interfere blindly.
But when they got to the two tables of friends, she had to take Geng Xin to meet everyone one by one. Although she wasn't particularly familiar with them, there were people at these two tables who were very good at creating a good atmosphere. On Shen Baichuan's side, there is Qin Yi, and on Wei Zhenhua's side, there is Nie Rong, both of whom are eloquent and familiar with each other.
Geng Xin gave out a lot of business cards and also received a lot of them.
Lin Xinran and Chen Lu were naturally sitting at Shen Baichuan's table with Yang Qian and Zhuo Jiyu. Seeing Chen Jin coming over, Lin Xinran gave her a thumbs up and whispered to her, covering her mouth with her hands: "We just said that it's a good thing you didn't think of using a loudspeaker when you were in college."
Chen Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Lu who was smiling secretly with her head down. Needless to say, these words must have been said by Chen Lu. If she used the loudspeaker, Chen Lu would definitely say that she was disturbing her studies.
"It shows that the students in our class were easy to talk to."
Lin Xinran thought to herself: Are you trying to say that they are vulnerable?
There were other people at the table who she was not very familiar with, and she had to rely on Chen Jin to maintain her image. If it were just the few of them, they would definitely list all of Chen Jin's great achievements during his college years.
In fact, they were very curious about why Chen Jin suddenly wanted to open a clothing company, but recently it was the busiest time for classes during the summer vacation, and even Yang Qian was called away to help, so she had no time to find Chen Jin. Call Chen Jin when you have time, and he will tell you, "Seeing that you all have successful careers, I also want to start my own business, so I started a company."
They didn't believe this. Chen Jin then said, "I want to make money to build a building."
Every reason sounded very real, but they felt that Chen Jin was not telling the whole truth. I didn’t expect so many friends would come to the opening ceremony, so I had to put my curiosity aside for the time being.
When he went to the table next to Wei Zhenhua and his friends, Chen Jin had to thank them very much, because he did rely on their power, especially the friends Xiang Qian and Wei Zhenhua called over.
Liao Ke smiled bitterly and said, "You're welcome. It's my duty. This was originally a problem that we should have solved, but in the end, we ended up piling the trouble on you."
It's not easy for laid-off workers, but do people who take over the mess have it easy? The most hateful are those who deliberately cause sabotage and sell state property at a low price. It's a pity that he can't make the final decision alone, and there is only so much he can do.
Chen Jin said: "Let's not talk about the past. Now the trouble has been solved, that's all."
"Okay, feel free to contact me if you have any questions in the future. You can also ask Wei Zhenhua to find me."
"Okay." Maybe we'll really get in touch again.
Everyone at their table was an acquaintance, so there was no need for Chen Jin to entertain them. Moreover, they had a good chat with the table next to them, Shen Baichuan, so Chen Jin felt relieved. So, he took Geng Xin to toast the villagers.
She and Geng Xin whispered, "It's a good thing you're not a man, otherwise the grandmothers and aunties in our village would spread the word that we were having a wedding banquet today and we were going to toast them."
Seeing Geng Xin's incredulous expression, Chen Jin said calmly: "Village gossip is sometimes so outrageous."
Even if you have seen and heard the matter with your own eyes and ears and know the truth of the matter, but once you turn around and tell it to others, it will immediately change in meaning. It's so normal.
"Aunt Zhou, you are definitely the one today!" Chen Jin gave a thumbs up and said, "When I thought someone might come to cause trouble, the first person I thought of was you. With you on the scene, they can't make any trouble."
"Thank you, Aunt Wu. You've worked so hard today."
"Grandma Chen, I really misunderstood you before. Today you are the second best performer." I really underestimated Grandma Chen before. Chen Jin suspected that Grandma Chen had been suppressed in the village for a long time. She finally found an excuse to vent her anger. Today she cursed people fiercely... Tsk tsk, who would have thought that she was beaten and scolded by Aunt Zhou before? I can't tell at all.
I heard that Aunt Zhou was tortured a lot by Grandma Chen San when she first got married... It seems that Grandma Chen San becomes weak when facing a strong opponent and strong when facing a weak opponent. As the saying goes, bully the weak and fear the strong.
Geng Xin could hardly keep the smile on her face, but her boss was still happily praising people and toasting. She had no choice but to say “very good” and “thank you for your hard work”.
She even wanted to ask her boss, is this something to be proud of and worth bragging about?
Fortunately, she didn't ask, because she felt that the person being praised was quite proud.
The boss's village is a little different and is indeed very united.
The other people in the village didn't take the fact that Chen Jin brought people to curse others to heart at all. In their minds, it was others who made trouble, and Chen Jin was completely right to fight back, so of course the people in his own village had to help.
What they were more concerned about were the friends that Chen Jin called over.
I visited Chen Jin's company today, and their little thoughts popped up one after another. They had been guessing what connections Chen Jin had before, and now they knew that one of the friends Chen Jin invited was from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission...
They felt that they had previously focused their attention on Chen Wenqiang, thinking that he had some connections, but now it seems that it might be Chen Jin who found the connection himself.
When Chen Jin arrived at the table of Chen Wenzhen and Chen Wensong, the two of them looked at each other. Finally, Chen Wensong spoke to Chen Jin, "Third sister, why don't you introduce us to your friends?"
He thought, his mother stood up for his third sister today, so he should give her this face, right?
Chen Jin didn't say whether to introduce him or not, but said: "Uncle Wen Song, after buying the factory, you will get the land, but it is not so easy to change industrial land to commercial land. There are not many people in your current development company. It is enough for you to rent a house as an office. There is no need to buy a big factory. Or are you planning to do some other business?"
She also heard it from her uncle. Chen Wensong and Chen Wenzhen probably saw that she only spent 200,000 yuan to buy the factory and had already acquired the land, so they wanted to buy the land at a low price. It is not impossible for industrial land to be converted into commercial land, but how can ordinary people handle such a thing?
It's obvious that these two people don't want to do things down to earth and only want to take shortcuts. It's impossible to introduce them to friends so as not to cause trouble for them.
Chen Wensong smiled awkwardly, "More friends mean more paths. Whether to buy the factory or not, we'll talk about it later."
The old branch secretary spoke soberly for once and directly helped him to reject the offer, saying, "He was just drunk and talking nonsense. Third sister, you don't have to worry about him. There's no need to introduce any friends to him."
It's okay to do some minor things at home, but if you get involved in some other things, it's a crime and you'll be shot. Want to buy industrial land at a low price, change the land use to commercial land, and then sell it at a high price? You wish. The old branch secretary is not completely brainless, he can see things clearly.
Chen Wensong's face changed, and he wanted to say that he didn't drink, but Chen Jin had already followed the old branch secretary's words and said, "Okay, you guys eat and drink well." After saying that, he had already gone to the next table, and then there was another round of praise.
When I got to the village chief, he was concerned and asked, "Third sister, will your company not only make clothes in the future?"
"I don't know what will happen in the future. I have to build up the Baiyou brand first before I can have a future."
The village chief nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He felt that Chen Jin might know about this and must have some ideas, but just didn't want to say them out loud. When everyone arrived at the next table, the village chief said to Chen Yongming who was following him: "Learn more from your third sister in the future, not from your father. Be energetic before things even begin. It's not too late to talk about it after things are settled..."
After lunch, some people started to leave one after another. Basically, they were all her friends and friends of friends, and they were all busy people. They took half a day off to attend the opening ceremony and have dinner, and then had to go back to work in the afternoon. Especially Chen Lu and Lin Xinran, they are the busiest two.
"Teacher Chen, let's have dinner together another day." Qin Yi wanted to say something else, but was taken away by Xiong Jiahao and Xue Zhonghua.
"Sister Jin, we're leaving first." Nie Rong also led people to say goodbye.
Xie Ning fell behind by a few steps, and Chen Jin immediately said, "Ling Yun hasn't called me recently, so I don't know anything."
Xie Ning followed.
After seeing off his friends, he then saw off the people in the village, especially the aunt who helped today. Chen Jin thanked her again and again. Finally, we escorted the company’s people out of the hotel.
The rest are our family members.
Chen Jin turned back to continue eating and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally over."
I realized belatedly that something was wrong, and there was also an outsider named Shen Baichuan.
