What a coincidence
The people in Old Liu's family are always naughty. They won't calm down until they are scolded. As long as she takes a tough stance, these people won't dare to act recklessly. It's good that the will has been notarized. Those people want to gain benefits from her, but no other means will work. It all depends on whether she has good intentions.
Chen Jin came here and didn't see her cousin Meng Chong. Today he brought his father, her cousin, to Jinxiu Community to look at the shops there. They want to open a porridge and noodle shop in Jinxiu Community.
The occupancy rate of Jinxiu Community is rising rapidly now, so it is the right time to open a store there. If Qiaoxi Village is demolished, they won’t have to worry about cousin Mengchong losing his job to make a living.
"Third sister, why don't you eat here before leaving?" My cousin's mother-in-law thought that it was not easy for her to come here, so she wanted to keep her for dinner.
"No, I have other things to do."
Chen Jin drove out, but was stopped by her grandfather halfway. "What are you doing again? I already said I'm not going to your house for dinner."
Glancing at Liu Shisheng and Jiang Zijun behind her grandfather, Chen Jin suddenly poked her head out and asked, "What do you think I look like?"
Old Liu was confused by her question, "What does it look like?"
"Do you think I look like a crazy woman with lots of money and a lot of stupidity?"
Old Man Liu: “…”
It's a bit crazy, but you can't say with a clear conscience that Chen Jin is stupid and rich. She is clearly smart and rich.
Chen Jin said earnestly, "You guys should just earn money honestly. You don't act like cultured people if you do these little tricks all day long. You're always thinking about your ex-daughter-in-law's daughter's things. Do you have any shame? If you don't have money, don't learn from others who want to study abroad. Anyway, you won't necessarily have a bright future if you go abroad. It's meaningless to waste money to train a cheap labor force to wash dishes for other countries."
"Hey, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about my grandfather. He should retire when he's old. Why worry about it? Even if you want to worry about it, isn't the Liu family enough for you to worry about?" Chen Jin waved his hand, "I'll come back after the official signing another day."
Liu Shisheng and Jiang Zijun were speechless. They only smelled the exhaust fumes and dust raised by the car.
Old man Liu has already walked away with his hands behind his back. He is a grandfather with many grandchildren. He can't always go to Chen Jin to get scolded because of his youngest son's twins. Chen Jin is a stubborn person who won't respond to any advice or persuasion. You really can't rely on him.
Seeing Liu Shisheng's gloomy face and silent, and seeing her father-in-law leave without saying a word, Jiang Zijun pushed Liu Shisheng anxiously and whispered, "Chen Jin, there's nothing we can do. We have to fight with our parents, otherwise the money we have, even if we sell the house, won't be enough for Yinan to study abroad."
But she was soon glared at by Liu Shisheng. "Since you know that the family doesn't have much money, why did you lend money to your eldest brother to buy a house? The money your two brothers borrowed over the years has become a bad debt. When can the money be paid back? I think, in your heart, your eldest brother and second brother's family buying a house is more important than studying abroad in the south and the north. In this case, why bother to go abroad? Just continue your studies in China!"
Jiang Zijun almost jumped up and down, "How can that be possible?! Are the technical levels at home and abroad at the same level? Yinan was able to find a good job as an international student after returning from studying abroad. Look at Tongtong from Teacher Wei's family, he is now..."
"You only know how good other people's families are now. Why don't you mention that Teacher Wei saves money to support her children?"
"Then your family is in trouble right now. Besides, Yinan still has two years to graduate. I have agreed with you that I will pay you back within two years."
"You always say you'll pay me back, but I haven't seen you for all these years! I didn't bother to care about it before, but you don't even look at the situation of our family now, and you still want to lend money out..."
Old Liu heard the couple's quarrel getting louder and louder behind him, and felt even more ashamed. He said angrily, "If you want to quarrel, go home. Why are you being so rude outside?"
He called away his youngest son and his wife.
The neighbor who was watching the fun laughed and said, "This old man Liu is interesting. He himself was scolded by his granddaughter in front of others, but he didn't feel ashamed. Now that his youngest son and daughter-in-law are quarreling outside, he feels ashamed."
"Well, I think he's used to it. He never gives anyone face when he's causing trouble. This damn girl is really good at talking. Look, Liu Shisheng and his wife didn't get any advantage from her."
"Bah! How could you let the damned father who abandoned his wife and daughter take advantage of you?"
"That's true. You reap what you sow. What Rangjin said was right. Liu Shisheng and his wife are quite shameless."
The middle-aged women in the village don't like Leshijin, but when it comes to the relationship between Leshijin and Liu Shisheng, they think Leshijin has done nothing wrong. This Liu Shisheng is the modern-day Chen Shimei. Which married woman can have a good impression of such a man? If I put myself in her shoes, I would be ostracized by my husband's family and forced to divorce, and move back to my parents' home with my child... Chen Fang was considered to have a good temper for not chopping Liu Shisheng with a machete.

Chen Jin drove directly to Dongcheng District and found a small restaurant near Sister Jiang's beauty salon to eat. Then he went to the beauty salon to do his skin care and take a nap.
Maybe it was because she had a good sleep, when Chen Jin looked in the mirror after finishing her skin care treatment, she felt that her skin had improved a lot.
"I haven't seen you for a while. Are you going to work now?" Sister Jiang Jiang Ke'an is also a busy person now. She is busy running a factory to produce beauty products. She only comes to the store occasionally to check on the situation.
Jiang Ke'an's business empire expanded so quickly that Chen Jin was amazed. Last year she came to the barber shop she opened. At that time, Jiang Ke'an was still working as a barber, but now he has completely withdrawn from the job to become a helmsman.
"Yes, students have started school now, and I have to go to work. I won't have so much free time in the future." Chen Jin followed Jiang Ke'an to sit in the rest area next to them, and then a waiter brought them a cup of beauty tea.
This is another expansion of the business scope.
However, it smells quite nice.
"By the way, is Aunt Ke Xin going to live in Shanghai in the future?" She had heard that Aunt Ke Xin had mortgaged her building in Xiuli Community to the bank for a sum of money, and then went to Shanghai to buy a house.
Chen Jin actually had some thoughts and was hesitating whether to sell the house in Hanlinyuan and use the money to buy a house in Shenzhen. Compared with Beijing and Shanghai, she is more optimistic about Shenzhen, but she has not made up her mind yet.
Now, after hearing what Aunt Ke Xin did, she wondered if she could use the house under her name to mortgage a bank loan...
"It's the same in Shanghai and Rong City. The distance is not far. It only takes an hour by plane." Jiang Ke'an said, "Because the house prices in Xiuli Community have increased rapidly, she thinks that the house prices in big cities will increase even more in the future. She is now squatting in Shanghai and wants to buy some properties as soon as possible. She doesn't know how to do business, so she wants to live on the rent, which is not bad."
Chen Jin: "Me too. Doing business is too difficult. I just want to make a living on the rent."
Jiang Ke'an smiled, took a sip of the beauty tea, and said, "You are the only one who doesn't know how to do business? You are too modest."
It's fine to just listen to such words, but if Chen Jin doesn't know how to do business, what would he do with all the properties and shares under his name? She had heard that Chen Jin not only invested a lot of money in her uncle's project, but also did business in partnership with her cousin, and she also owned several properties of her own. She didn't run a serious company, but she took advantage of every opportunity to make money around her.
Do you think the job Chen Jin found is average? How stupid! University counselors come into contact with so many college students and university teachers. Won’t they all be her connections in the future?
"I'm just a little clever, but I can't compare to your great wisdom, Aunt Ke'an." I'm afraid that most of the business of the wealthy women in Rong City will flow to her in the future.
"Even if you have great wisdom, you still need the help of friends." Jiang Ke'an came to see Chen Jin specifically after receiving a call from the store manager. Maybe Chen Jin was not aware of the situation. Chen Jin brought Yang Qian with him, which brought the business of her barber shop, cosmetics shop, wedding shop and beauty salon to a higher level.
Her business was originally aimed at wealthy people, and it had been doing well before. But since the beginning of this month, the business has been booming, with hundreds of new senior members alone. Upon asking, I found out that it was recommended by a friend brought by Chen Jinchang. By holding a wedding, they were implicitly advertising for them.
Jiang Ke'an thanked Chen Jin specifically for this matter.
"Is there such a thing?" Chen Jin could only say that it was an accidental achievement.
However, when Jiang Ke'an asked her about Yang Qian's family background, Chen Jin spread her hands and said, "To be honest, I don't really know much. I just know that she and her husband come from well-off families. We were in the same class in college and only became friends in the last few months. I haven't dug into her family background."
The main thing is that there is no point in going into it too deeply. She can't get close to him and has no intention of doing so anyway. Knowing too much will only hinder her interactions with her friends.
Jiang Ke'an had no choice but to give up asking Chen Jin, and thought: No wonder Ke Xin could talk to Chen Jin, they really don't make friends based on other people's background.
After Jiang Ke'an finished thinking about it, he expressed his feelings verbally.
But Chen Jin refuted her, and she said seriously: "I'm not that noble. If the background is suitable, I will also make friends with people."
"A suitable background? What does it mean to have a suitable background?"
"That's hard to say." Chen Jin laughed and interrupted.
When Chen Jin went back, he first bought an oven and juicer recommended by Shen Baichuan. In order to make friends with the one with the "right background", he went to Guxi Road to buy a cake.
"Boss, I want two of each of these three."
The owner of the cake shop took a special look at her. He had some impression of her. She was the girl who had eaten cake with Mr. Shen in the store last time. She and Mr. Shen are quite interesting people. They came to his shop one after the other today and both ordered these three items, and they both wanted two servings.
The boss kindly reminded me: "If you buy too much, it won't taste good if you keep it for a long time. It's better to buy the right amount. Don't let your family come to buy more later, and you buy more..."
Chen Jin rubbed his arms and said, "Boss, don't scare me. I'm the only one at home."
"...Oh, I got the wrong person." The cake shop owner changed the subject and wrapped the three small cakes she ordered and handed them to her. "Come back next time."
After returning home, Chen Jin was hesitating whether to knock on the door of the neighbor's house, when he suddenly looked towards his own backyard, picked up a piece of cake and walked out.
Hey! Shen Baichuan is really in his backyard!
“You’re back.” As soon as the door to the backyard of the house next door was opened, Shen Baichuan noticed it, and when he looked up, it was indeed Chen Jin.
"I just got back and brought a cake for Teacher Shen." Chen Jin raised the package in his hand to show him, then handed it directly through the fence. "I went to Dongcheng District in the afternoon and stopped by Guxi Road."
Shen Baichuan smiled, “Wait for me.”
Under Chen Jin's puzzled gaze, he returned to the house, took out an identical packaging bag, and handed it over through the fence. "I happened to have something to do in Dongcheng District this afternoon, and I also went to Guxi Road on the way."
"...What a coincidence."
Chen Jin returned to the room and saw two identical cakes. He found it inexplicably funny as he looked at them.
Okay, eat one portion today, and bring it to school tomorrow and share some with other counselors.
However, the cake that was brought to school to be distributed to other counselors failed to enter the office smoothly. The graduate students came to have a meeting with the tutors. Yang Qian saw her and saw the cake in her hand. She opened it and saw three pieces. She took them directly and said that she could also give some to Lin Xinran and Chen Lu.
“What’s it like being a counselor?”
"It's OK. The students are all normal now." Chen Jin asked in return, "Do you feel much different after getting married than before?"
Chen Jin swore that she really just asked casually and had no other intention, but Yang Qian smiled at her meaningfully, "You can find a man and try."
Ahhhh! She thinks her ears are dirty!
What's going on with Yang Qian? In her heart, although she found that Yang Qian was not as cold and arrogant as she thought after making friends with her, she never thought that one day Yang Qian would actually discuss this issue with her!
It feels like my goddess' image has collapsed into ruins.
Just as Chen Jin was sighing with emotion, Yang Qian counted the items on her fingers, saying, "There's one more person in the study at home, and Auntie has to cook for two people. From time to time, people ask you where you're going and where you want to go. When you wake up in the middle of the night and suddenly find someone next to you, you're scared to death..."
"Hey, stop it!" Chen Jin knew he had misunderstood her after hearing her two words, "Stop talking. I don't want to hear about your daily life as a young couple. Is graduate school easy?"
Yang Qian said expressionlessly: "Your words have hurt my good mood for the day. I'm going to the meeting."
"Hey, let's have lunch together at noon. I have a teacher's meal coupon."
The dishes that teachers can buy with their meal coupons are different from those for students, but they are all delicious. Just for this reason, she has been going to the third canteen to eat recently.
After get off work at noon, Chen Jin went to meet up with Yang Qian, Lin Xinran and Chen Lu. They ordered some food and found a seat to sit down. The four of them just occupied a small dining table.
After class, Shen Baichuan came to the third canteen. When he got his meal and walked towards the "old place" with a happy face, he happened to see Chen Jin and her three friends sitting together. There was no extra seat next to them.
Finally, I had to find a vacant seat somewhere else.
Yang Qian waved her hand in front of Chen Jin and said, "I just saw your neighbor."
Chen Jin didn't even raise his head. Today's pork elbow is so delicious!
"He's a teacher, isn't it normal for him to eat in the third cafeteria?"
"I thought he wanted to come over here just now."
"Oh, I've been having lunch with him these past few days. I came early so I can save a seat."
Yang Qian and Lin Xinran looked at each other, put down their chopsticks tacitly and prepared for interrogation.
