For the next few days, Mu Chen went to school, while Lin Chuchu took leave to help out at the exhibition hall for a few days.
Of course, this kind of help comes with a salary.
After several days, the bustling exhibition finally came to an end. Lin Chuchu received a salary of 800 yuan, which was a lot, after all, she had saved a lot of losses for the exhibition and the country.
This incident has led to recognition of Mu's mother's culinary skills, and she was among the candidates recommended by the principal for obtaining an individual business license.
Lin Chuchu also entrusted the principal with the task of drafting intellectual property and trademark laws.
After all, the principal is also a representative of the National People's Congress.
The principal sighed, "Our country is indeed lacking in such systems nowadays. If I report it, the higher-ups will definitely take it seriously."
Lin Chuchu nodded. "I've heard that the international community attaches great importance to this. If a country wants to introduce something from abroad, it must refer to the foreign legal system."
Lin Chuchu said this because of her previous life.
In the previous life, the country broadcast certain countries' animations and movies without their permission.
The state paid a considerable amount in compensation as a result.
The principal nodded. "I understand. Let me organize my thoughts and then I'll report this to you."
"By the way, are you going to take a second degree next semester?"
Lin Chuchu nodded, "Yes, I want to study computer science and contribute to the country's computer industry."
Computers are not yet popular in China; only a few universities offer computer science programs.
Modern computers are still those big, heavy, and clunky ones.
The principal hesitated for a moment, looking at her stomach; he knew Lin Chuchu was pregnant.
"I suggest you wait until after the baby is born before learning computers, since computers emit radiation that is bad for the baby."
"There's a year difference, so there's no need to learn it this year."
The principal earnestly advised.
Lin Chuchu was taken aback; she had indeed forgotten to consider that.
She remembers those old-fashioned computers; sitting next to one for too long made her feel uncomfortable.
"Thank you, Principal. I'll skip computer studies this year and start next year."
Lin Chuchu wasn't ungrateful; she naturally listened to others' advice.
Back home, after dinner, my older brother called to say that the accountant had been found.
Lin Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief. With an accountant, at least the tax handover wouldn't be neglected.
The government attaches great importance to taxation; if Great Wall Freight forgets to pay taxes, it will be unable to continue operating.
It was now April, and the weather was gradually warming up. They received their first payment after the investment. Lin Chuchu and Mu Chen received 8,000 yuan, and their parents received 10,000 yuan, which was just enough to break even.
Now that the freight company is on the right track, last month they bought ten more trucks, some of which were raised by the eldest brother and some were financed by bank loans.
This was the accountant's suggestion, saying that owing money to the country gives you peace of mind, at least you won't be betrayed by the country.
The freight company acquired its own office building and expanded its scale. The original shares of other people decreased, but they received more money. No one in the company complained; they felt that they had earned a good deal.
The eldest brother's shares gradually increased, eventually reaching 60%, giving him absolute control.
Because a solid foundation had been laid, no one else interfered and unconditionally supported the company's decisions, allowing the eldest brother to successfully complete the major change of personal control.
Great Wall Freight was a pilot project for a privately owned company, and the results were good, so the higher-ups were naturally satisfied.
Lin Chuchu is now four months pregnant, and her belly is bigger than that of an average pregnant woman. During her regular prenatal checkup, the doctor said it might be twins.
But it will take a while before we can confirm.
Lin Chuchu held a pen and scribbled on the paper, while Mu Chen sat next to her, staring blankly into space.
He glanced at Lin Chuchu's belly every now and then.
Half an hour later, Lin Chuchu stopped and saw his appearance, which made her laugh.
"What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing, Chuchu. Are you really carrying twins?"
Mu Chen said in disbelief.
"Who knows?"
Lin Chuchu touched her belly, wishing she could have twins. After all, in 1982, family planning would be enshrined in the constitution, and it would be very difficult to have another child then.
This year is 1980. She will have a baby in October. If she has one, should she consider having another one next year?
After all, one is too few; one would be lonely.
Forget it, I won't think about it too much. I'll wait until this baby is born before I think about it.
One day, Lin Chuchu had just finished school when she saw a girl standing next to Mu Chen.
The girl was of average appearance, very thin and tall, and had a sharp and mean-spirited look on her face.
Mu Chen's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Chuchu.
He strode forward and said, "Chuchu, let's go!"
Lin Chuchu looked at the girl's pitiful expression as she looked at Mu Chen and spoke up.
"Is this your colleague? Does he need something?"
Lin Chuchu asked curiously.
Mu Chen's face darkened instantly, and he glared at the girl with annoyance.
"We're not familiar with each other, so we have nothing to say to each other."
Lin Chuchu became even more curious about the girl's identity.
The girl walked up to the two of them and raised her hand to shake hands with Lin Chuchu.
"Hello, Comrade Lin, I am Mu Chen's ex-fiancée."
Lin Chuchu suddenly realized and said "Oh," remembering the girl's parents.
Lin Chuchu asked with a half-smile, "I wonder what business you have with Mu Chen?"
This family has quite a big face.
She took the initiative to break off the engagement, not wanting to have anything to do with the Mu Chen family, so why are they coming to her door again?
Something bad happened to the girl's family. Just two months ago, her father was fired and is now in prison, never to be released.
Her mother went out to find work, and most of the money she earned had to be used to pay off her father's former employer.
