The last few days of June.
The urban villages are no longer as lively as they were in the middle of the month, mainly because many people get their salaries on the 15th.
By the end of the month, the little monthly salary in my pocket is basically spent.
With no money left, I had no choice but to live a quiet life and work honestly as a screwdriver in the factory.
Wuyou Restaurant has only been open here for more than ten days.
Chen Pingsheng is still like a leisurely old chef. Every day he takes his daughter to work and then goes home.
I'll also walk around the area in between.
After getting familiar with those small stall owners, even Chen Anan liked this kind of life.
I no longer reject it. I walk around with my hands behind my back every day when I have nothing to do.
At the end of June, the sun is shining brightly, and many shops will turn off the air conditioner in the afternoon when there are few people.
He doesn't do that, so there's no need to save money.
So many people like to come here to enjoy the cool air.
Among them is A Qiang, who sets up his stall at three o'clock. He sets up his stall from three in the afternoon to two or three in the morning.
Aqiang was holding a newly bought iPhone X in his arms. This is a special edition phone launched by Apple to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the iPhone.
He was reluctant to buy it himself, but his girlfriend said a word and he happily bought it.
"Master Chen, do you think she would be happy if I gave her this phone later?"
"Gladly not."
Chen Pingsheng was wearing a chef's uniform, and people here liked to call him Master Chen.
"You've developed her appetite over the years. She's graduated from college now, right? Why don't you let her come live with you?"
"I told you, she's going to find a job in the city, so she wants to rent an apartment downtown."
Okay... this reason is so powerful that some people actually believe it.
A female college student from the countryside rented a house in the center of Shanghai without even finding a job after graduation.
Even the smallest single room starts at one or two thousand.
Chen Pingsheng once advised Aqiang, but he didn't listen, and he didn't say anything more afterwards.
Chen Anan, on the other hand, didn't care. She jumped up and cursed, "Brother Qiang, she only graduated from an ordinary university. You've supported her for so many years. After graduation, she should definitely come and live with you!"
No one in the world understands him.
Aqiang just smiled and said nothing.
After he left, Chen Anan wanted to catch up with him and persuade him.
Chen Pingsheng stopped her in her tracks with just a look. No matter how outrageous the matter was, there was no reason for them to say too much if the other party was willing.
What's more, the stall owners here have been scolding him for two years, but he hasn't changed.
What else is there to say?
After a while, they had guests.
It was the college student son of that migrant worker. He wore thick glasses and had dull eyes.
He was holding a professional computer book in his hand.
His professional ability is actually quite good, but he is too taciturn and his eyes are evasive when he looks at people.
This gives people the feeling of extreme inferiority and lack of self-confidence.
Which big company would want such a person? Not to mention big companies, even the HR of ordinary small companies would shake their heads when they see him.
He had trouble finding a job and didn't even have breakfast or lunch.
Now I just come here to make some fried rice for twelve yuan to pass the time.
At most, Guo Shuai could communicate with some familiar people nearby, and now his father's excitement was not as strong as before.
If he can't find a job, his migrant worker father will probably be very confused.
How come a college student, who has been trained with decades of hard work, can’t find a decent job?
After he finished eating and left, Chen Anan came to ask him, "Dad, is it difficult to find a job?"
"While in school, you rely on your grades. After graduation, you rely on your parents. It's easy to find a general job, like screwing in a factory. But finding a decent job that matches your major is much harder."
Chen Pingsheng didn't care, in fact there were too many people like this.
You definitely won’t be able to recruit migrant workers with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, but you can recruit a large number of college students.
Guo Shuai already wants to join the factory.
Of course, he would definitely not go into the nearby factory, for fear that his father would be disappointed.
Most of the sufferings and sorrows of ordinary people can be solved with money.
Only after Chen Anan came here did she realize how exaggerated her monthly pocket money of several hundred thousand yuan was.
Any electronic watch in these people's hands represents a savings that they could never achieve in their entire lives.
My dad said he had a worry-free dream, but the reality is that he never acts rashly.
It's been almost half a month, and I haven't seen him take action once.
No matter who it is, anyone who can get his help can basically easily cross the class.
Having the ability but not misusing it is, to some extent, a way of preserving one's foundation.
Chen Anan kept daydreaming.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, my dad started cooking again.
No one in the urban village realized that the legendary boss of Tengying Group would actually work as a chef here in obscurity.
If you ask them whether they have any worries, of course they do.
That's because the deputy store manager Jiang Peiyao is so beautiful that as long as she stands there, there will be endless people chasing after her.
Some people wear Rolexes from Guangdong Station West Road and their hair is sprayed with hairspray to show their unique accent.
Some people try to be humorous on purpose, while others want to show off their handsomeness in front of her.
The ghost-fire boy is the funniest, and when he rides a motorcycle he is the coolest guy on the street.
Chen Anan laughed, feeling that these people were just playing tricks. There was no way they could pursue Aunt Pei Yao.
Jiang Peiyao was embarrassed. She was surrounded by romantic interests wherever she went, and there was nothing she could do about it.
"An An, please stop laughing. I'll feel embarrassed if you continue laughing."
"Don't laugh, don't laugh. I just can't help it."
Chen Anan giggled, and the little brat imitated her and put his hands on his hips and laughed beside her.
Jiang Peiyao ignored her, and she went to receive the guests herself, and cleaned up the table that had just been left.
After a while, Li Qian came.
She is still very decent. She seems to be on vacation today and brought two friends here to eat.
One of them even had a look of disgust on his face, a typical person who looked down on the environment in the urban village.
Chen Anan had a good impression of her and went to greet her quickly, "Sister Qian, what would you like to eat today?"
"An An, just make two of your dad's best Hunan dishes."
"Okay, do you want to drink today?"
"No need for wine, I haven't even finished the bottle you gave me last time."
"Okay, that's braised carp with some stir-fried pork with chili peppers."
Zhang Qian is quite simple and doesn't have too many particularities about food.
It is because of her colleagues at the company that she has certain requirements for her own dress.
"Tengying Group has purchased over 1,000 acres of commercial and residential land in Jinshan, planning to invest over 20 billion yuan to build an eco-community for senior employees. Our leaders held a three-day meeting on this matter, insisting they were determined to acquire a portion of the design. I'm afraid he's going to act out of his wildest dreams again this time."
"Everyone in the industry knows Zhang Sitong, the person who proposed the Tengying Future Forest City plan. She's related to the Tengying Group. It's a pipe dream for us to want to compete with her."
Speaking of which, Zhang Sitong has been very popular in the design circle in Shanghai recently. In the past, she was about the same as Zhang Qian.
God knows how she got on the Tengying connection and she has been rising rapidly to the top, with her peers no longer able to see her.
It would be a lie for Zhang Qian to say that she is not envious. It’s just that everyone has their own opportunities in life.
Who can tell?
"I secretly heard that the boss lady of Tengying Group is now nine months pregnant and is expected to give birth in August. When she gives birth, we might as well do her laundry and mop the floor like slaves."
"Forget it, with her status, even if you want to serve her, you'll have to wait ten years."
It was quite helpless. Everyone complained about Zhang Sitong racking his brains and being a mean person.
But secretly they all want to be her.
Unfortunately, there is no such way.
Tengying has been growing bigger and bigger in Shanghai over the years, and in the field of investment, it is definitely one of the best private enterprises.
Outsiders may not know, but how could those who work in the CBD office center not know?
If they can connect with Tencent Video, their future will be very promising, if not meteoric rise.
"The fish are coming."
Chen Anan brought a plate of fish and handed it to them.
The appearance is okay, and the taste is pretty good overall.
Although he can't compare to the top chef at home, her father's amateur skills are still very good.
