After dinner, Lei Jun and Liu Qiangdong went to get a foot massage together. Lin Chen wanted to go too, but he had to go see Shen Yue's father, so he had to say goodbye with regret.
Lin Chen and An Rou returned home together. As soon as he opened the door, Lin Chen called out, "Mom and Dad, I'm home!"
"Oh, Anrou's back! Come here quickly, Mom bought you your favorite cherries."
Lin Chen: ? ? ?
Is this still my home? Why can't I feel any warmth from home? Can't you see my big son?
To get revenge on his parents, Lin Chen secretly took two bottles of Lao Lin's Moutai and two cartons of Zhonghua cigarettes from the storage room, then left and drove alone to Shen Yue's house.
"Uncle and Aunt, I'm here."
"Lin Chen is here! Come in and sit down, Auntie will pour you some tea."
"Isn't this some capitalist? How come he would think of me, a member of the working class?"
"Ahem, Uncle, you're joking. This is some Moutai and Hua Zi for you. Thank you for what you did before."
"That's more like it, at least it has some humanity, but..."
Halfway through her sentence, Aunt Chen came out of the kitchen with a cup of tea. When she saw Hua Zi on the table, she immediately picked it up and said, "No smoking!"
Shen's father: "...I didn't smoke it, Lin Chen brought it."
Upon hearing that it was Lin Chen who brought it, Aunt Chen's serious face instantly turned kind and friendly: "Oh, Lin Chen, it's alright to come all this way, but you brought so much stuff. Remember next time, don't bring cigarettes for your uncle."
"I understand, Auntie."
"Good child, I'll go cut some fruit for you."
After Mrs. Shen went back into the kitchen, Mr. Shen slowly said, "But next time, you have to give me the cigarettes secretly, don't bring them home."
Lin Chen gave an awkward smile: "Uh, haha, Uncle, you said it's too slow."
Mr. Shen waved his hand and began to get down to business: "Shen Yue has already told you about my friend's daughter, right?
"They told me, how about we arrange to meet at my place now? I don't know if that's convenient?"
"Sure, we're all in the same neighborhood anyway, let's give each other a call."
"Hey Lao Ye, is your daughter home? The thing you told me about last time, my daughter's boss is at my house right now. Can you have Qianqian come over and have a chat? Okay, I'll wait for her."
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Shen turned to Lin Chen and said, "Let me tell you about the situation first. My friend's daughter is named Ye Qian. She just graduated with a master's degree this year. She studied both her bachelor's and master's degrees at China University of Political Science and Law, so her professional skills are absolutely beyond doubt. My friend originally wanted her to work at my law firm, but she wants to develop her career in a big city, so I came to ask you. Don't feel pressured. If you feel it's not suitable later, just say so."
"Let's meet them first."
Five minutes later, Ye Qian arrived. Lin Chen glanced at her; she had a beautiful face and delicate features, and wore frameless glasses. Although she was dressed casually, she still exuded a mature and capable aura.
Lin Chen was quite satisfied with his first impression.
"Uncle Chen."
"Qianqian, this is my daughter's boss, Lin Chen, who is also from Wushang."
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
"Hello, do you have any previous work experience?"
“I interned at my mentor’s law firm for a year before.”
What areas of legal proceedings are you most skilled in?
"Commercial contracts, disputes, and the like."
"You know Shen Yue, right?"
"I know him, but it's been many years since we last met."
Lin Chen thought about it and realized it made sense. After all, there was a six-year age gap. They played together when they were little, but they couldn't play together anymore when they grew up.
"Okay, then you can contact Shen Yue directly. She's now the director of our company's legal department, and you can become her deputy director."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Seeing that things were settled, Lin Chen prepared to leave.
"Uncle Chen, it's getting late, so I'll be going now."
"Okay, I'll see you off."
"Why would I give you anything? We're so close, Auntie. I'm leaving now. I'll come back for a meal next time I'm here."
"Sure, come visit anytime!"
After Lin Chen left, Ye Qian asked Shen's father, "Uncle Shen, which company does Mr. Lin work for?"
Actually, Ye Qian didn't agree to work for Lin Chen's company at first. How big could a company founded by a college student be? She wanted to work for a large company or a large law firm.
But her parents were worried about her, fearing she would work too hard, and said she shouldn't go to Shanghai unless she worked for a company she knew.
Ye Qian finally compromised, thinking that she would go to Shanghai first and then find another job later.
"It seems to be called Star Technology."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qian realized it wasn't a big company at all; she'd never even heard of it.
Dad continued, "Oh, by the way, that website you young people like to use, Huasuan.com, belongs to their company."
Ye Qian's hand trembled as she picked up the teacup, and she almost dropped it.
Hua...Huasuan.com? That was the hottest internet company in China last year, and according to Weibo, its market value was almost 10 billion. And you immediately gave yourself a deputy director position? It seems that Shen Yue and this CEO Lin have a complicated relationship.
Ye Qian thought to herself that it was a good thing Uncle Shen couldn't hear her inner thoughts, otherwise he would have laughed himself to death.
After returning home, Ye Qian's father said, "How's work? Ye Qian, let me tell you, don't think it's okay just because it's a small company. Since you've decided to go to work, you have to give it your all. Unless you encounter something unreasonable, you can't quit easily, understand?"
Clearly, Ye Qian's father had long understood her thoughts; no one knows a daughter better than her father.
"Dad, don't worry. They're not some small company; they're one of the top internet companies in China. And they even offered me the position of Deputy Director of the Legal Department. I'm already very satisfied."
"Huh? Didn't Lao Shen say the boss was her daughter's classmate?"
"It really is Shen Yue's classmate. They founded the company while they were still in college. From now on, Shen Yue will be my boss. Dad, I remember Shen Yue was studying medicine, wasn't she?"
"Yes, I also remember last year Lao Shen said that he and his wife both studied law, but their daughter went to study medicine. But after all, her parents both studied law, so she must know a little bit about it."
When Lin Chen returned home, he saw his parents and An Rou's family of three sitting in the living room eating fruit and watching TV. A background music involuntarily started playing in his head:
I should be under the car, not inside, watching how sweet you two are...
Never mind, I'm going back to my room to sleep.
The next day, Lin Chen drove with Lei Jun and Liu Qiangdong to the logistics park site. Looking at the wasteland in front of him, Lin Chen could already imagine how lively it would be in the future.
"Mr. Lei, brother, leave the logistics park construction to me. JD.com has a lot of experience in this area."
"Haha, Dong-ge, I was just about to say that, but I didn't expect you to bring it up first. We're really good buddies."
"Hehe, tell me if you have any specific needs."
