The world of film and television begins from childhood

Although he knew that he had a trading company under his name and was aware of its size and location, he had never visited it so far.

"Thank you so much, classmate Zhou Chen."

"It's no trouble. You helped me. Besides, Fang Yifan and I are classmates and have a good relationship. Most importantly, it's our honor to have a talent like you, Uncle Fang, join our company."

Fang Yuan felt a little flattered by Zhou Chen's praise, and wondered secretly in his heart, is it true that my personal charm is so high that I can conquer Zhou Chen, a rich second-generation man?

"Fruit, come and eat fruit, Zhou Chen, come, eat fruit."

Seeing that Zhou Chen and Fang Yuan had almost finished their conversation, Tong Wenjie immediately brought over the prepared fruit and said with a smile: "Zhou Chen, I heard that you live here alone. Come and visit us more often when you have time."

"Thank you, Auntie. I will definitely come and bother you if I am free in the future. I just hope you don't find me annoying."

"Haha, how is that possible? If you could come, I would be so happy."

"Mom, why didn't you give me the fruit you made?"

Fang Yifan, along with Lin Lei'er and Qiao Yingzi, rushed out, grabbed the food and started eating.

"Zhou Chen, what are you talking about with my dad? Are you talking about crickets and grasshoppers? My dad likes this the most."

"Brat, is your dad as bad as you say?"

Chapter 258 Tong Wenjie's feelings, struggle is not as good as birth

After having lunch at Fang's house, Zhou Chen took Fang Yuan to his trading company in the afternoon. To be precise, it was also the first time that Zhou Chen visited "his own" company.

After I went there, I got a more intuitive view of the trading company in which I hold a 90% stake.

The company was not listed, and Zhou Chen originally held full control of the company. However, Song Yuan found a very capable professional manager for him, and in order to win over this professional manager and make him work better for the company, he gave him shares.

So, in addition to Zhou Chen holding 90% of the shares of this trading company, the remaining 10% is in the hands of professional manager Zhao Lingbo.

Zhao Lingbo has taken over the company for five years. The company's business has grown year by year and has become larger and larger. Zhao Lingbo has made great contributions to the company's current scale and performance.

Zhao Lingbo and Song Yuan are classmates and friends for many years. They are trustworthy people, so Zhou Chen is not worried that he will do anything wrong.

When Zhou Chen went to the company, he did not go to find Zhao Lingbo, but went directly to the company's human resources director.

The director of the human resources department is a distant relative from Zhou Chen’s mother’s hometown. He followed his mother in starting a business for many years and now holds an important position in the company. He is one of Zhou Chen’s most important eyes.

Upon learning that Zhou Chen was going to bring someone to apply for the job, the director of the human resources department personally went downstairs to greet him. After meeting Fang Yuan, he asked a few simple questions and immediately gave him an employment contract.

Fang Yuan looked at the contract in front of him in a daze, his mind blank.

Thinking back to the past two months, he got up early and went to bed late every day, begging everyone for a job, but he couldn't find a suitable job. He was so angry that he wanted to deliver takeout.

But now, just because he helped Zhou Chen and invited Zhou Chen to have a meal, he was going to find a job immediately.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang."

Seeing that Fang Yuan had not put down his pen, Song Chengye asked, "If you don't sign, do you have any opinion on our company's contract?"

As the head of the Human Resources Department, Song Chengye also holds a high position of power in the company. Only if the boss comes in person will he be responsible for signing the contract with Fang Yuan.

There is absolutely no problem with the contract. As for the salary, he raised it a little bit within his authority for Zhou Chen's sake.

Fang Yuan suddenly woke up and said quickly: "No, no, I am very satisfied, I will sign it now."

He had just read the entire contract. The salary was considered relatively high, although not as high as his previous salary. But the problem was that he had worked in the previous company for more than ten years.

Now that he has just joined the company and hasn't started working yet, his salary is already close to his previous salary. This salary can really be said to be very high.

He quickly signed his name, then Fang Yuan let out a long breath.

At this moment, he actually had the urge to cry. For his work, he had been tossing and turning for two months, encountered major setbacks in his life, and received countless cold stares.

So he feels that this job is hard to come by now. If his son didn't happen to have this classmate, and he happened to have a good relationship, then he would definitely not be able to find this good job today.

In the past, he was always very lax and muddle-headed at work, but at this moment, he secretly swore in his heart that he must do this job well and not lose face for his boss Zhou Chen.

"Well, Mr. Fang, congratulations, you are now a part of our company, please report to the HR department on Monday, and we will arrange for you to join the job."

Fang Yuan immediately stood up, solemnly shook Song Chengye's hand, and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you very much."

Song Chengye smiled and said, "You shouldn't thank me. I am just following orders. If you want to thank someone, thank Zhou Chen. He is our boss."

"Yes, yes, I should thank you."

Fang Yuan nodded repeatedly. He certainly knew who he should thank the most, but he still had to do his best to save face.

Zhou Chen sat in the rest area outside and waited. When he saw Fang Yuan and Song Chengye coming out, he asked, "Is it done?"

Song Chengye said: "It's done. Mr. Fang can come to work on Monday."

"Thank you, Uncle Chengye."

"Why thank me? You're my boss, and it's my duty to help you."

"You are still my uncle, so why are you being so formal? How is the company doing recently?"

"Very good, Mr. Zhao is indeed capable..."

Zhou Chen chatted with Song Chengye for a while, and then left the company with Fang Yuan. Now he has no intention of coming back to work.

Anyway, the company is booming now, and he has to go to school again, what kind of class will he be back in?

Even after graduation, he has no plans to come back. It would be more interesting to start his own business than to come back here and be the boss.

"Zhou Chen, thank you so much for what happened today."

After walking out of the company building and before getting into the car, Fang Yuan expressed his sincere gratitude to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen said, "Uncle Fang, why are you saying this? I am recruiting talents for the company. Besides, Fang Yifan and I are classmates. If you really want to thank me, you can invite me to eat something delicious next time."

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Of course. We have already agreed that we don't have enough time today. I will ask Fang Yifan to call you tomorrow at noon. Don't refuse."

"Not tomorrow. I have something else to do tomorrow."

"How about next week?"

"Next week, maybe."

……

After Fang Yuan returned home, he immediately told Tong Wenjie that he had found a job and explained the whole process.

Tong Wenjie was also extremely excited when she learned that Zhou Chen had really helped Fang Yuan find a job.

Although she had always said that she was not in a hurry before, it was because she did not want to cause psychological burden to Fang Yuan. In fact, she was also very anxious. Now that Fang Yuan had finally secured a job with good salary, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In a family of four, it is definitely much easier for two people to earn money than for one person.

“Is that company really that powerful?”

Fang Yuan recalled what he saw today and nodded, "Yes, the office area is very large, much larger than your company. There are dozens of staff members that I saw, and there are probably more that I didn't see. The assets may be more than hundreds of millions."

Tong Wenjie exclaimed, "You are so rich, Fang Yuan, don't you think we are both failures in life?"

Fang Yuan looked puzzled: "Why did we fail, wife, where did we fail, what are you thinking?"

"Look at Fanfan's classmate Zhou Chen. He is the same age as Fanfan, but he already drives a luxury car, lives in a luxury house, and owns a company with assets worth over 100 million yuan. All we can leave to Fanfan now is a house with an unpaid mortgage. We are such failures. I used to think that our life was pretty good, but now compared to others, it's not even close."

It was something to be happy about that her husband found a job, but for some reason, seeing that it was so difficult for her and her husband to find a job, while someone else with a child easily got a well-paid job, Tong Wenjie felt an inexplicable sense of imbalance in her heart.

It's as if they have worked hard for so many years, but in the end they are still not as good as others. Anyone with a little self-esteem will feel a little unbalanced.

Gratitude and a sense of imbalance are not in conflict.

Chapter 259 The Optimistic Fang Family Father and Son

Fang Yuan saw that Tong Wenjie was inexplicably emotional and said so many decadent words. After years of experience together, he immediately knew what he should do next.

"Wife, you can't think like that. Your idea is wrong from the root."

Tong Wenjie asked: "What did I do wrong?"

Fang Yuan: "You are right that Zhou Chen is richer than us, but being rich doesn't mean happiness. Look, he is rich, but is his family happy? He has no mother, and his father found him a stepmother and forced him to donate bone marrow. I have never seen such a family. Even if they are rich, I think they are not happy."

"Look at our family. Although we don't have much money, we are happy and complete. We have enough food and money. Our son's grades are not very good, but he is very filial. Now we have a nephew who has good grades and is sensible. A family like ours is truly happy and complete."

"You envy others for being rich, but others envy our family. So, we should be content with what we have. There is no need to compare ourselves with others. There are too many rich people in the world. If we compare ourselves with others, we will be exhausted to death."

Tong Wenjie couldn't help but roll her eyes at Fang Yuan after hearing these words: "Anything can become a good thing when it comes out of your mouth."

Fang Yuan said with a smile: "I have an optimistic attitude. I always think on the bright side. It would be so tiring if I were to dwell on things that make me unhappy every day."

"optimism?"

Tong Wenjie sneered: "You are no longer simply optimistic, but heartless. Fang Yifan inherited this from you, so he is not good at studying."

"No, wife, can we please be reasonable? Fang Yifan's poor grades, even if it's due to my problems, it's genetic. How can it be related to optimism?" Fang Yuan cried out in injustice.

"Okay, stop being sarcastic. I just said it casually, but you took it too far."

Tong Wenjie took the initiative to end the topic and talked about work.

"Now that you have found a job, regardless of whether you have used connections or not, you must perform well when you go to the company on Monday. In the current environment, finding a suitable job is really no easier than getting into college."

"Also, even though you know the boss of the company, you still have to keep a low profile when you are in the company, otherwise the rumors behind your back will be enough to make you suffer."

Tong Wenjie is also a white-collar elite who has been in the workplace for many years and is very clear about what the workplace environment is like.

"Don't worry, honey. I'm not a rookie in the workplace. I know what to do and what not to do. Besides, your husband's professional level is absolutely top-notch. I guarantee there won't be any problems."

Fang Yuan is extremely confident. He feels that he is a bit lazy, but his professional skills are absolutely impeccable and he should have no problem integrating into the work environment.

"Having said that, you still need to be more serious and learn more about the company, especially in terms of interpersonal relationships. You need to pay extra attention to that."

"No problem. Tomorrow is Sunday, and you can rest. Honey, to celebrate my finding a job and Fang Yifan and Lei'er doing well on their midterm exams, let's go out for a nice meal together as a family. How about that?"

"Of course you can, but where do you want to go?"

"It doesn't matter where we want to go, what matters is where the children want to go. I will ask them tomorrow morning."

"Then you arrange it. I'll take a rest first."

On Monday morning, Zhou Chen took the elevator from the fourth floor. When he reached the second floor, he happened to meet Fang Yifan and Lin Lei'er.

"What a coincidence."

Zhou Chen greeted them, and Lin Lei'er also greeted them. However, Fang Yifan responded with a bad look on his face, not as lively as usual.

"Leier, what happened to Fang Yifan?"

Lin Lei'er glanced at Fang Yifan, pushed his glasses, and was about to speak when the elevator reached the first floor.

The three of them walked out of the elevator, and Lin Leier said, "My cousin had a quarrel with my aunt yesterday."

"in argument?"

Zhou Chen couldn't help laughing, which immediately angered Fang Yifan. He asked in dissatisfaction: "Zhou Chen, what are you laughing at?"

Zhou Chen said: "I think I guessed why you quarreled with your mother. It must be because of the midterm exam."

Fang Yifan, who was originally a little dissatisfied, stopped immediately after hearing this and stared at Zhou Chen with wide eyes.

"Zhou Chen, how did you guess that?"

"Parents quarrel with their children for a few reasons, such as premature love, fighting, skipping classes, playing games, etc. Without exception, these things will eventually affect their grades. So, most of the quarrels between parents and their children are over grades. And our most recent exam is the midterm exam. Do you want me to say more?"

Lin Leier looked at Zhou Chen with admiration: "Zhou Chen, your reasoning is amazing."

Fang Yifan was also amazed: "You can even guess this, amazing, really amazing."

"Tell me what's going on?" Zhou Chen asked.

Fang Yifan suddenly said depressedly: "I thought my mother would treat me better if my grades improved, but I didn't expect that she would drag me to the cram school yesterday after having a good meal. She scolded me when I refused. In the end, I couldn't help it and had a big fight with her."

"That's it?"

Zhou Chen couldn't help but shake his head. In his opinion, this was indeed not a big deal.

Tong Wenjie and Fang Yifan did not think they were wrong. In fact, they did not do anything wrong. Tong Wenjie was just impatient because she wanted her son to be successful.

As for Fang Yifan, to put it nicely, he has no ambition; to put it bluntly, he is a hopeless case.

One doesn't want to learn, and the other forces him to learn. How can there not be quarrel?
