Chapter 403 Finale (Big Chapter)
He Jianlin sat on the sofa, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. The few times he opened his mouth he said something useless.
In the end, Zhang Ying next to him couldn't sit still anymore.
"Why is it so difficult for you to speak?" She glanced at the old man, feeling extremely angry.
I've been a deputy director for my whole life, and this is how I ended up doing it?
At this point, He Jianlin's face turned red, then he blinked and said nothing.
That's not a big deal. He has never had such a hard time speaking before. Think about his life. He has been a prominent figure for decades.
Ever since he became the deputy director of the automobile factory, he has never bowed his head to anyone below his superiors. Everyone who sees him must call him Director He.
Looking back now, He Jianlin still has a sense of heroism.
Zhang Ying turned her head with a stern face. All the fat on her body was on her upper body, with a double belly, a double chin and a round face.
It’s true, after gaining weight, she looks much younger than people of the same age, but her health is not very good.
"Chen Yi, your father and I came here today because we want you to find him a job." She didn't have the attitude of an acquaintance at all. Instead, she continued to give instructions: "You don't have to do anything else. You can be a store manager here, or a factory manager in your food factory."
"They are all my family, I definitely can't let you down."
She did not feel ashamed at all when she said this. Instead, she felt that being a factory manager was a waste of her talent.
He Jianlin's face turned red, "Just shut up!"
As he spoke, he pulled Zhang Ying and said to Chen Yi, "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. You can assign me any job. I just feel a little upset staying here."
After decades of ups and downs, he has nothing to do after retirement.
He is only in his sixties and he really can't stay still at all.
Zhang Ying seemed a little unhappy about what was said, but he didn't refute it in the end. He just sat there drinking tea with his big fat face.
"This tea is good. Bring me some when we go." She looked at the chrysanthemums and wolfberries in the kettle and thought it must be good stuff that would also be refreshing to drink.
He Jianlin didn't want to stay here any longer. He was so embarrassed.
He shouldn't have let Zhang Ying follow him in the first place, and it turned out to be a disaster.
Chen Yi ignored her and turned to look at her father-in-law, "Dad, do you really want to work here?"
He Jianlin nodded and said, "It doesn't matter where I work, as long as I get the same salary as everyone else."
To be honest, he couldn't control Zhang Ying, who often came to the hot pot restaurant to eat and drink for free.
Fortunately, she is not stupid and never brings others with her. She usually comes alone to eat. Otherwise, others will get the food for free. Just look at her figure and you will know how much good food she eats in the hot pot restaurant.
Chen Yi nodded and said, "Then you can go to the food factory tomorrow. It's too tiring here. It would be better if there are more people in the food factory. I will tell Director Liang when the time comes. You can go without worry."
She knew that He Jianlin would not ask for help easily, and no one would want him to work at his age.
And she won't dwell on a person's work.
It depends on whether this person gave them money and things when the two of them got married, or if they could give them something in return.
As for Zhang Ying coming here to eat and drink for free?
Chen Yi was too lazy to argue with such a shameless person. How many more years could she eat? Just give her whatever she wanted.
She doesn't take care of her body at all. Not only does she not give herself food, but she also speaks ill of them everywhere. I just don't care about it.
With Chen Yi's words, the couple left satisfied.
Before leaving, Zhang Ying did not forget to ask the waiter for a large bag of chrysanthemum tea.
Everyone knows her, so no one dares to mess with her. Just give it to her if you want it.
Chen Yi had said before that apart from money, she could eat whatever she wanted, and she was allowed to take small things, but nothing else.
Chen Yi watched the man leave, then returned to her desk, picked up the phone and dialed.
"Xiao Ju, this is Chen Yi." After the call was connected, she briefly explained the situation.
"Okay sister, I'll arrange it here." Liang Xiaoju understood what she meant and hung up the phone.
The next day, He Jianlin went to the food factory and was assigned the job of looking after the warehouse. Assisting him in the work was an old man who also worked at the automobile factory.
These two people are old acquaintances and were arranged by He Mingcheng.
The two of them had company this time, so they didn't worry about work or anything, and just chatted whenever they had time.
You don’t have to move anything when checking the warehouse, just open and lock the door.
The next step is to patrol regularly and make sure flammable and explosive items are not allowed near the warehouse, and everything else will be fine.
He Jianlin was very satisfied with this job and was grateful to Chen Yi for arranging him to be close to someone he knew.
It’s good to have something to do when you’re old and it doesn’t make you tired.
Even if he wasn't paid, he would be happy to come.
At the end of the second year, Chen Yi and He Mingcheng paid enough taxes and created a lot of income for Chuncheng, so the city nominated them both.
The two became a model couple and their story was reported in newspapers and on television. Even the city's radio stations were broadcasting their deeds.
Another person who followed them to do big business was Wang Jianguo. The couple raised chickens on a large scale in the countryside. They could not be compared with entrepreneurs in the city, but they were better than individual business owners in the city.
The annual profit is not small, so this time he followed Chen Yi's advice and leased a nearby hillside to plant fruit trees.
There was no profit from this thing in the past few years, but raising chickens has always been profitable.
Wang Jianjun and Fang Xiaoli stopped working as workers in the first two years. They became bolder and took their savings to go south. There has been no news of them for two years.
That day, Chen Yi was watching workers building a wall in front of the food factory when she heard someone calling her.
"Chen Yi..."
She turned around and found Fang Xiaoli standing not far away.
Compared to the first two years, she looks a little older now. She is in her thirties, but looks like she is in her forties.
"Xiao Li? When did you come back?!"
Chen Yi was extremely surprised because there had been no news for two years. It was useless for her to be anxious. There were no phone calls or letters, and she couldn't find anyone.
Fang Xiaoli couldn't hold back her tears and couldn't utter a word.
Seeing this, Chen Yi hurried over to comfort her, and then took her to the food factory's office.
Although she doesn't have to work every day, she must have an office.
After the two of them sat down, Chen Yi gave her a wet towel to wipe herself, then poured hot water on it and handed it to her.
After Fang Xiaoli calmed down, she said, "Chen Yi, Jianjun and I have been through a lot outside these past two years."
"We made a lot of money at first. We could earn more than 100 yuan a day by rummaging around in small things, but later we were threatened by the locals and had to pay protection money..."
It turned out that the couple did not not contact their family, but they did not dare to do so because those outsiders controlled them and they made money for others every day but did not get a penny.
They also wanted to run away, but they were watched very closely and someone even watched them go to the toilet.
Later they tried to escape once, but were severely beaten when caught.
The person was able to escape this time because he was discovered by the local police and was rescued.
As for the money, it was naturally squandered. They were left penniless and were sent back.
Their child Wang Lin has been raised in Liu Qinglan's home. Chen Yi has visited them often in the past two years, but has not heard any news about the couple.
After hearing these words, Chen Yi felt very complicated. This situation was so rare.
Out of a thousand outsiders who go to the south to start a business, only one may encounter this situation. In their case, both the couple will be arrested.
"You've suffered so much." Chen Yi knew from her expression that she must have suffered a lot over the years.
Fang Xiaoli didn’t know how many tears she had shed, but she still felt sad and cried now.
"Where's Jianjun?" Chen Yi then realized that she had not met her brother-in-law yet.
Fang Xiaoli's eyes dimmed when she heard this. "He...his leg was broken by someone, so he has been staying at home since he came back."
After that escape, she was not beaten because she was a woman, because women sell goods very quickly, and those who are clumsy or ugly will not be able to sell anything.
But Wang Jianjun was different. His leg was broken. Although it did not affect his walking, he was still lame.
Hearing her words, Chen Yi had mixed feelings, but a man's self-esteem cannot be comforted by just a few words, so she didn't say any nonsense.
"So what are your plans now?" Chen Yi turned around and asked.
Since her old friend is in trouble, she will definitely not sit idly by.
Fang Xiaoli thought about it, and finally shook her head, "I don't know either. I saw a lot of breakfast shops near the school, so I want to give it a try."
She has no money now, but she can borrow some from her parents' home. Making breakfast doesn't require much money, just a little more hard work.
Chen Yi frowned and disagreed, "Xiao Li, the school over there is already full. Which school doesn't sell food? I think you should not go."
Mainly, I feel sorry for this girl. She turned out to be like this. It's so pitiful.
It’s also my fault. Why don’t I go to the south to look for it?
In fact, Chen Yi had thought about it a long time ago, but the South is so big, and they left without even saying which city they were going to, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Fang Xiaoli knew what she meant, smiled and said, "It's okay, I can still endure a little hardship."
"How about this." Chen Yi thought for a moment and said, "You come to work at the food factory. You used to be an accountant. You still can do it now, right? The accounting department just happens to need someone, so come and help."
"If Jianjun can't do physical work, let him go to the Quality Inspection Department. It's not hard there and he can sit down."
She thought of a job that was suitable for the couple and tried to let them try it.
Fang Xiaoli fell silent after hearing this.
She was tempted because the job did not require any capital, and the two of them had no money at the moment, so they couldn't really ask her parents for help.
She knew that Liu Qinglan felt sorry for her, but her brother's wife would definitely not agree if she got married and had children.
Thinking that her mother would have to live with her younger siblings in the future, Fang Xiaoli didn't want to make things difficult for her mother.
"Shall I go back and ask?" She did not agree immediately.
Chen Yi didn't say anything else, "Okay, you two can discuss it. If you want to do other business, you can tell me. I can give you the capital."
"Thank you, Chen Yi." Fang Xiaoli's eyes were filled with tears. Although she didn't know how to lend money, she was satisfied that her friend could still say these words to her when she was in trouble.
The two chatted for a long time before parting.
In the evening, Chen Yi went home and talked about it with He Mingcheng, sighing that the couple was so unlucky.
He Mingcheng disagreed, "Do you think going to the South is all about making money? The people there are all very smart, and there are many crooked ways, no worse than here."
"There are many people who have been deceived, and I heard there are even more evil ones."
As for how weird it was, he didn't tell Chen Yi for fear that she would be scared.
In fact, Chen Yi knew it clearly in her heart. What kind of dirty tricks had she not seen from later generations?
This is not about where people come from, but there are two kinds of bad people in the world. One is a bad person, and the other is even worse.
So it’s not that one person is unlucky, but that these people are just bad. If you are not unlucky, someone else will be.
The two people didn't say any more about it. The matter had already passed and the police had handled it. There was no need to dwell on it.
At noon the next day, Chen Yi arrived at the factory and found that Fang Xiaoli and Wang Jianjun were both there.
However, Wang Jianjun, who was introverted before, is now even more unwilling to look people in the eye.
Chen Yi couldn't bear it, so she said to him, "Jianjun, if you have any problem getting used to it here, just tell me. You can also talk to Director Liang. You two can stay here for a while, and we can talk about opening a store later."
Her words had no effect on Wang Jianjun. He still didn't look at her, just nodded and said nothing.
Seeing this, everyone felt helpless.
Fang Xiaoli didn't say anything, and the couple was arranged to go to work.
At least working here is better than working outside. The work is easy and the salary is not low.
If the couple works hard for a month, they can save some money and support their children.
Chen Yi actually doesn't like Wang Jianjun. No matter how hard a man suffers, he should look at the people around him.
It's not that she doesn't have any worries when she's talking. A man is the pillar of the family. Even if he doesn't care about his wife, children and the elderly, he still has to fight for his place.
He just has a slight limp in his leg, but he can still work. Why can't he cheer up and make his wife and children worry so much about him?
Anyway, she couldn't figure it out, and maybe no one could understand it unless they reached that point.
However, what Chen Yi did not expect was that the following year Fang Xiaoli gave birth to a plump, white daughter, and this person underwent a drastic change.
After seeing his daughter, Wang Jianjun was no longer as silent as before, but instead had a smile on his face every day.
After his daughter was born, he quit the food factory, while Fang Xiaoli continued to stay.
Wang Jianjun started his own business with one thousand yuan, from selling tapes to his own cinema, and experienced many ups and downs in between.
By the time the new era came, he already had more than a dozen cinemas in major cities...
Chen Yi felt relieved after seeing him cheer up. After all, Fang Xiaoli was her good friend, and the person she entrusted him to was her brother-in-law...
As their lives improved, she became happy too.
Another happiest thing is that Chen Guoqiang has been doing business for so many years, buying houses and cars, and his son Chen Gong is doing well at the age of retirement.
This son relied on his family's little money to fool around outside all day long, and no one talked about him. Later, he was framed and involved in gambling.
In the end, Chen Guoqiang's family property was squandered. At his old age, he had no money and could only pick up scraps to make a living with Wang Limei.
Their son Chen Gong was sentenced to 20 years in prison when he was only in his twenties. Ultimately, they had lived their whole lives in vain.
Chen Yi didn't take this little thing to heart. She knew that evildoers would eventually be punished. It's not that there will be no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet...
As the days passed, Chen Yi's business grew bigger and bigger. In addition to the fruit juice and soda business at the beginning, the food factory later also started making popsicles and ice cream.
This kind of thing is easier to make than other foods. Of course, there is a reason why she did not choose to name the factory a cold drink factory.
After completing the market, she began to develop new instant noodles by combining the recipe of Space with the recipe of Kimchi Country.
In this way, her food factory can truly live up to its name!
In the early 1990s, Chen Yi started a foreign trade company with her avant-garde vision. With her previous experience and the help of her grandmother Wen's family, her foreign trade company turned out to be the most profitable industry.
He Mingcheng's transportation company also grew bigger and after the 1990s it was renamed Aiyi Logistics Company.
In addition to land logistics, he also did maritime logistics.
The reason why their business has grown so big is simply because of Chen Yi's foresight.
If she had not come from the future, if there was no space, perhaps she would not have been able to achieve what she has today.
Chen Yi felt emotional, she didn't get what she wanted in her previous life, but she got it all in this life.
I love my husband, my smart children, and some friends...
Everything is going smoothly at work and I am positive.
Come to think of it, there is no regret at all.
Many years later...
Chen Yi has silver hair and light makeup on her face. Sitting next to her is He Mingcheng, who is also old.
The two looked at the camera, and the interview host next to them asked, "Mrs. He is so business-minded, did she also realize that Mr. He would become a business tycoon in the future?"
"Who knows? Haha..." Chen Yi smiled and looked at the person next to her. They both had each other in their eyes.
She has no regrets in her life and feels it is perfect.
If there is an afterlife, she will meet He Mingcheng again...
The full text is over.
The book has come to an end. To be honest, I am reluctant to let it go, but I just can’t hold on any longer.
Also, because I stopped updating for a month due to the Chinese New Year, all my readers left and they blamed me.
As for the new book, I haven’t made any plans yet. If it is released, I will notify everyone and publish new chapters in this book.
So, don’t cancel this book from your bookshelf. You will know when there is a new book.
I am very happy to have your support. This book has been published for eight months. It is fate to meet you. See you later!
See you in the next book!
