Chapter 826 There's a telephone at home
At the end of March, we finally got a telephone connection at home!
The privatization of telephones is a day of tension and excitement for a small family, akin to watching a rocket launch.
Chen Qing, He Yuxiang, Pingping, and Youyou all stared at the telephone. The first call they made was to Comrade He Yuan.
Chen Qing was a little nervous holding the microphone, hoping that he would be in the office!
When He Yuan called out "Hey!", his family cheered.
Youyou jumped up and exclaimed happily, "It's really Daddy!"
He Yuan: "..."
Is there a fake father?
They quickly realized that they would all gather around him and call him, and they were so excited, as if they had just installed a telephone at home!
"Is the home phone service activated?"
"Yes! Write down this phone number. You can call our home phone anytime you want. Because of the nature of my work, I have 200 minutes of free calls. It feels like my salary has increased by 200 yuan. Congratulate me!"
"Congratulations to Comrade Chen Qing for his outstanding performance, which earned us two hundred minutes of conversation."
"Hahaha, it's all a small matter," Chen Qing said smugly.
He Yuan chuckled: "I..."
"It's almost been a minute. I still need to call Xiaoyu. I'll hang up now."
Snap—
The call ended.
He Yuan was still in a daze. Couldn't we chat a little longer?
What happened to the promised two hundred minutes?!
Never mind, I'll call back later.
It's inconvenient for Chen Qing to call Xiao Yu.
Because Xiaoyu lives in the dormitory, someone has to notify her and arrange a time before they can call her.
When Xiaoyu greeted everyone, her family cheered again.
Xiaoyu was equally excited on the other end of the phone: "Our family actually got a telephone! Auntie is amazing!"
Chen Qing couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
So-so.
You performed as expected!
"No, once your uncle's villa is completed, you'll also be able to get a telephone connection."
"But Auntie, you're the first one!"
"Hahahaha..."
Chen Qing wanted to endure it.
After all, as a parent, she's grown up and should be more humble, but she can't help it.
He Yuxiang rubbed his forehead.
Pingping and Youyou kept asking to talk to their older sister.
The siblings are the kind of people who save up money to call their older sister.
Now it's free to call my sister, and she chatters on and on.
He Yuxiang had a hard time getting a word in edgewise, but his factory wasn't authorized to install telephone lines, making it difficult to contact clients. Now that he had a phone at home, things would be much easier for him.
to this end.
He specially ordered business cards!
After receiving the business card, Chen Qing took it up to the light and examined it closely: "You've got some serious connections, kid."
Ring ring—
The phone rang.
Youyou ran to answer the phone: "Hello, who are you looking for? Are you looking for He Sheng? Oh, I'm his brother. Who are you? I'll write this down and tell my brother. He'll contact you later."
He Yuxiang slowly walked behind his younger brother, leaning on the telephone table with one hand. His narrow eyes watched him carefully record the customer's information and needs, his eyes full of affection.
Youyou hung up the phone, looked up at her brother with a sweet smile, and handed him her small notebook. "Brother, look, I've categorized the information. Some people are looking for investment, some are your business partners, and some have invited you for drinks!"
He Yuxiang took the examination: "Not bad, even better than the professionals."
Youyou was happy, her big, round eyes filled with joy.
He Yuxiang ruffled his fluffy hair and picked him up in his arms: "I'll take you to buy a refrigerator!"
Youyou's smile widened: "Brother is amazing!"
He Yuxiang's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, exuding a nonchalant air.
The joy was palpable to the naked eye.
When the refrigerator was delivered home by handcart, almost all the appliances were complete.
Pingping, holding the newspaper, commented: "Our family has fully entered the modern era and has become a well-off family."
Now that you mention it, it's true.
We have all the necessary appliances.
They have no worries about food or clothing.
Life is indeed quite good.
Chen Qing circled the refrigerator once: "When Comrade He Yuan comes back, have him make popsicles."
Youyou followed suit: "I really hope Comrade He Yuan comes back soon."
Chen Qing chuckled: "You still have to go to your father's place with your brother next month."
Pingping and Youyou were both puzzled.
He Yuxiang said, "I'm going to look at houses in the capital, and I'll take you there to study while I'm at it."
The two siblings are currently enrolled in two schools. Chen Qing and He Yuan have discussed that since the children will likely be traveling between the two schools during their primary school years, they will attend both schools. If the children fall behind, the parents will provide support.
First grade was alright.
The two siblings had no pressure in their studies.
We'll see what happens next.
Pingping and Youyou went to study in the capital last year and are doing well now.
After Pingping arrived in the capital, she tried every means to go to the library, and even thought of bringing her bicycle to the capital so that she could secretly ride to the library.
The two siblings asked about the specific time they would be going to the capital, and then continued making the sweet soup to put in the refrigerator to play with.
Chen Qing went to the calendar, tore off the date March 30th. Tomorrow would be the end of March, and then the Canton Fair would be coming.
Starting in early April, Chen Qing kept a close eye on the sales figures from the Canton Fair.
The fact that she didn't attend the entire Canton Fair for the first time was to give the factory workers a chance to learn and grow.
We've been training them for so many years.
We should see the results by now.
The outside world is also closely watching the sales performance of Chen Qingshengxia Garment Factory. Even if Chen Qing is not present, the factory can still achieve impressive sales figures. This not only proves Chen Qing's management ability but also demonstrates that his methods of cultivating talent are replicable!
If sales are mediocre, it means that Chen Qing himself is indispensable.
It is widely believed that Chen Qing has no loss no matter what.
Chen Qing understood that if she couldn't cultivate a group of successors, it might seem like a good thing in the short term, but in the long run, it might not be good for her career.
April.
This was the most anxious month for Chen Qing.
It's difficult to maintain a stable job if you're constantly monitoring sales figures and don't check them at least ten times a day.
April of this year was a disappointing month for Xiaoyu.
The Chinese Ministry of Sports officially announced that China would not participate in the 1980 Olympic Games.
Athletes who were expected to qualify for the Olympics collapsed.
The professional lifespan of athletes is too short. If you miss this competition, you may not be able to have the same strength next time.
Xiao Yu was so disappointed that she bought five fried dough sticks and two cups of soy milk, and sat on a school bench to eat them angrily.
Yang Yihe finally found Xiaoyu after searching around, and patted her on the shoulder: "What if you get a sore throat from eating so much?"
"To commemorate the lost Olympics, I'm not afraid of getting a sore throat!" Xiao Yu raised a cup of soy milk to the sky, then drank it. Mmm...it tastes very fragrant and delicious.
Yang Yihe was both amused and exasperated: "Why are you making such a fuss about drinking soy milk like you're drinking alcohol?"
Xiaoyu: "I'm using soy milk instead of alcohol."
"Okay, you decide. I have something to tell you."
