Ge Lanzhi poured Chu Yu a cup of tea and brought over a plate of fruit. "Now that you're going to university, you won't be able to take care of the business anymore, will you?"
“My clothing store has opened a chain. The one in Beijing has been open for half a year and business is good, and I’m making good money. I bought a house in Beijing and I’ll probably settle down there in the future. My sister is managing the one in Deyang now.”
Ge Lanzhi looked surprised. This girl was too capable. Getting into Tsinghua University would have been a great honor for her family, right? But she didn't care about that. She went to Beijing and even made her business bigger.
I got my diploma, and I made a lot of money too.
Ge Lanzhi gave Chen Baifu a wink, and Chen Baifu understood what she meant, but ultimately didn't dare to speak.
Chu Yu saw through it and smiled, "You two, please just say what you want to say."
Ge Lanzhi peeled an apple for her before saying shyly:
"It's about my daughter, Chen Shuangyu. To be honest, after graduating from vocational school, she hasn't been able to find a suitable job. Baifu and I haven't retired yet, and she can't keep up with us. We originally thought she could gain some experience in a few years and take over my position, but she started dating a boyfriend last year."
Chen Baifu sighed, looking utterly defeated. "She's never suffered since she was little, she's naive and foolish, always talking about 'love.' She doesn't even know how to find a proper boyfriend, she actually picked up a petty thug. At the beginning of the year, there was a crackdown, and that thug was arrested and sent to a labor camp, sentenced to 3 years in prison. And this girl, she actually wants to get a marriage certificate with that thug, have a child with him, and says she'll wait for him for 3 years."
Having a daughter who's obsessed with romance is a real headache for Ge Lanzhi, the mother.
She tried everything, but Chen Shuangyu just wouldn't change his mind.
Ge Lanzhi wanted to ask Chu Yu to find her a job in Beijing.
"Anything is fine, I just want her to change her environment, go to Beijing to broaden her horizons, and realize how naive and ridiculous her ideas were."
Chu Yu is expanding his business this year and is indeed short-staffed, but it's unclear how capable Chen Shuangyu is.
"He is a hardworking and capable person, and absolutely honest. It's just that when he falls in love, he's like he's possessed."
Just then, Chen Shuangyu returned with her bicycle keys and her eyes lit up when she saw Chu Yu.
Chu Yu smiled at her. Chen Shuangyu had a decent appearance, a dignified look, and a good height. She looked quite capable.
With just a little dressing up, she looks like a company leader.
This kind of temperament actually indicates a romantic mindset.
Chu Yu stared at her for a few moments, feeling inexplicably that she looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place her.
"Sister Ge, Uncle Chen, to be honest with you, the pay over there is just average. It includes room and board, the base salary is 20 yuan, plus commission. The best performers in the store can earn more than 50 yuan a month. If you get promoted to store manager, your salary can increase several times. There are also food and accommodation allowances for business trips. In short, it depends on your performance."
A base salary of 20 yuan is pretty good, and it also includes room and board. Even Ge Lanzhi herself wanted to go.
Chen Shuangyu was completely confused. "Mom, what are you talking about? What's this about base salary and commission?"
Ge Lanzhi glared at her and told her the truth. Chen Shuangyu was about to refuse when Ge Lanzhi's bloodline suppressed her.
"If you dare say no, I'll break your legs!"
Chen Shuangyu was so frightened that she shut her mouth.
"Chu Yu was the top science student last year, studying at Tsinghua University. Even so, she still owns a clothing store and bought a house in Beijing. Look at you, Mom doesn't mean to compare you to her, but you're only 20 years old, so young, how come you don't know how to work and earn money? All you do is focus on men. I think you haven't studied enough. A few words from a hoodlum and you think he loves you and cares for you. Your own parents are worried sick about you, and you still think we're meddling."
Chen Shuangyu was so scolded by Ge Lanzhi that he dared not talk back.
Ge Lanzhi and Chen Baifu had no sons, but they always treated their daughters well. Chen Shuangyu grew up surrounded by love and never experienced hardship. Her boyfriend's family was poor and couldn't afford a pair of shoes, so Chen Shuangyu felt sorry for him.
When a man complains about being poor, she gives him money.
When a man confides in her, she pours out her heart.
The man said she was a celestial maiden; after meeting her, he ate his fill, put on his shoes, and even started smoking.
Chen Shuangyu felt a sense of satisfaction from being needed.
But she knew that her parents truly loved her, so no matter how much they scolded her, she never talked back.
Chu Yu smiled and advised Ge Lanzhi, "It's inevitable to be a little blind when you're in love. Shuangyu is still young. The more you try to stop her, the more she'll think she's truly in love."
Ge Lanzhi sighed. She was at her wit's end. What parent would be willing to let their daughter marry into a poor rural family and suffer? Besides, the man was going to serve three years in prison. She thought that if they separated for a while, their feelings would naturally fade.
"I have a train ticket for three days from now. If Shuangyu wants to go, she can go after the Lantern Festival, then the tickets will be easier to buy."
After leaving Chen Baifu's house, Chu Yu went to visit Grandpa Luo.
After Luo Kangcheng recovered, the former director got involved in the Qiu family's case and was investigated by higher authorities. Luo Kangcheng was promoted from deputy director to director, making him one of the most prominent figures in Deyang.
Regardless of his bravery and the many medals he earned at the cost of his life, this promotion is well-deserved.
Grandpa Luo and Grandma Zeng were both home, and they beamed with joy when they saw Chu Yu.
"You silly girl, I heard you were back a long time ago. I thought you had forgotten about this old man."
Chu Yu smiled and said, "I came by a few days ago, but I saw that your door was closed, so I didn't come over."
"Oh, was it the time before the New Year? I went to visit your great-grandmother, and you just happened to be there. That was the only time you ran into her."
Chu Yu knew that Old Master Luo loved to drink, so she brought him two bottles of Moutai. Luo Kangcheng had just been promoted, and many people who wanted to ask him for favors would bring him Moutai when they came to visit.
