"I'm coming."
Qiao Erqiang, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, ran over to open the door. When he saw Zhou Chen, he immediately called out, "Brother Zhou Chen, you're here."
Zhou Chen is one year older than him, but he has never called Zhou Chen brother before. Today is the first time.
Zhou Chen asked: "Erqiang, are you and Simei ready? Wait for me to take you to the factory. I have already made arrangements with the personnel department."
"I haven't had breakfast yet, Brother Zhou Chen. Have you eaten? Do you want to eat something together?" Qiao Erqiang led Zhou Chen in and asked casually.
"I have already eaten."
As they were talking, a few more people walked out of the room, including Qiao Yicheng, Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei.
When Qiao Yicheng saw Zhou Chen, he snorted twice and said nothing. Qiao Simei ran up to Zhou Chen and called him "Brother Zhou Chen" sweetly.
Zhou Chen deliberately asked Qiao Simei: "Simei, what's wrong with your brother? Does he have a toothache?"
Qiao Simei smiled and said, "No, brother is upset because you took Third Sister to a western restaurant yesterday but didn't take him."
"Qiao Simei, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb." Qiao Yicheng roared. This weird girl could say anything.
Qiao Simei was not afraid of him. She chuckled twice and ran to the bathroom: "I'm going to wash up."
Qiao Sanli walked up to Zhou Chen and asked softly, "It's so early, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten. I get up early every day."
Qiao Yicheng asked, "Zhou Chen, isn't it a little late? Why don't you skip breakfast and go over now?"
He was very concerned about his brother and sister's work, so he was afraid that something might go wrong and wanted to go early to make a good impression.
Zhou Chen waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You can't skip breakfast. Have breakfast first and then go."
At this time, Qiao Zuwang walked out of the master bedroom with a laziness on his face. When he saw Zhou Chen standing in his yard, he was stunned.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Zhou? You come here so early, what are you doing here?"
The sarcastic tone made the Qiao brothers and sisters frown, especially Qiao Yicheng.
Zhou Chen helped Erqiang and Simei find jobs, but his father ended up having this attitude. If it were someone else, they would probably be very angry.
Zhou Chen didn't care. When facing someone like Qiao Zuwang, he couldn't be irritated by him.
"Uncle Qiao, you just got up. Do you want to go to the factory with us later? After all, Erqiang and Simei are going to work. As a father, you should go over and take a look at the environment."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned this. Once he did, Qiao Zuwang became so angry that his teeth ached. This little bastard came here to stab him early in the morning.
"Chenxing Textile Factory is a very large factory. People like us who have no status are not qualified to go there."
"Uncle Qiao, look at what you said."
Qiao Yicheng glared at Zhou Chen and signaled him to stop talking. Today was a good day and he didn't want to be disrupted by his father Qiao Zuwang.
"Dad, go wash up first. It's time to eat."
Qiao Zuwang walked out of the main hall, looked at Zhou Chen with dissatisfaction, and spat in a very ungraceful manner.
"dad."
Qiao Sanli shouted in dissatisfaction. Zhou Chen was her boyfriend now, and her father was really going too far.
Qiao Zuwang glared at him and shouted, "What's wrong? This is my home. I can do whatever I want. If you are not satisfied, just leave. And you, Qiao Sanli, what did I tell you the other day? I told you to study hard and not date casually, but only one day later, you are dating this Mr. Zhou. If this gets out, people will say that our Qiao family is trying to climb up the social ladder. Where can I put my old face?"
Qiao Sanli stamped her feet in anger, her eyes red: "Dad, how could you say that to me?"
Zhou Chen held Qiao Sanli's hand, signaling her not to be angry, and then was about to speak, but Qiao Yicheng was faster than him.
"Dad, who Sanli dates is her own business. Let others say whatever they want to say. As for your old face, just put it where it should be."
Qiao Yicheng has let go of the matter between Zhou Chen and his sister. He had thought about this before, but Zhou Chen had never had a girlfriend in order to wait for Sanli. This loyalty alone was worthy of his admiration, so he felt that it was natural for Sanli and Zhou Chen to fall in love.
As for being well-matched, he felt heartbroken when he thought about himself and Wen Ju'an, so he was the one who most wanted Sanli to be happy.
"Haha, all of you, do you still take me, your father, seriously? Let's go, all of you."
Having said that, he left home angrily.
Qiao Yicheng walked up to Zhou Chen and said, "Zhou Chen, I'm so sorry to have embarrassed you."
Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "What is our relationship? It's you who has had it really hard. You have paid the most for the Qiao family."
Qiao Yicheng remained silent. With such an unreliable father, he was the eldest brother. If he didn't contribute, who would?
After Qiao Zuwang left, everyone relaxed and the brothers and sisters finished their breakfast laughing and joking.
"Zhou Chen, I want to go with you too, can I?"
When Zhou Chen and Qiao Yichen and the other two were about to leave, Qiao Sanli followed.
Zhou Chen would naturally not refuse: "Of course, the car can fit five people, so let's go together, and we can also help Simei and the others clean up the house."
The five people got in the car. During the journey, Zhou Chen said, "Yicheng, I have already informed the Human Resources Department. I plan to let Simei work as a cashier. As for Erqiang, let him go to the warehouse to learn first. He can become a warehouse manager in the future. Both are relatively easy jobs."
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Qiao Yicheng asked.
"It's okay. To be honest, Chenxing is preparing to expand its scale and is no longer limited to textile and garment factories. Cashiers can transfer to accountants to work in finance, and warehouse managers can manage logistics. There is a lot of room for development in both."
When Qiao Simei heard that it was a relatively easy position, she smiled even more happily. She didn't want to do hard labor all day long. She preferred a decent job.
Qiao Erqiang didn't care and seemed to be taking things as they come.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 501 Yicheng becomes a reporter, and everyone sends blessings
With Zhou Chen stepping forward, there would naturally be no problem for Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei to do their work.
Qiao Erqiang became a warehouse keeper, and Qiao Simei became a cashier. Their dormitory was arranged together, with two bedrooms and a living room.
Originally, the Guoxing Textile Factory occupied a large area, and later Chenxing bought a piece of land around it, so Chenxing now occupies a large area.
Today, Chenxing Textile Factory includes a textile factory and a garment factory, with more than 2,000 employees. The dormitory area is also very large, but most of Chenxing’s employees live at home, and there are not many employees living in the dormitory.
Even if they live in the dormitory, few people live in a two-bedroom apartment. After all, forty-one months, there are also water and electricity bills, which are also expenses. Therefore, most people who live in a two-bedroom apartment bring their families with them.
After taking Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei to pick up the factory uniforms, the group came to the dormitory that had been arranged for them.
"Brother Zhou Chen, why are the uniforms in your factory bright red? Isn't it too bright? It doesn't matter if we girls wear it, but wouldn't it feel awkward for men to wear it?"
Chenxing's factory uniforms are completely different from those of other factories. In addition to the bright red color, the styles are also very fashionable. The quality is impeccable. The clothes produced in their own factory are naturally made of good materials.
Qiao Sanli retorted: "I think red is a good color, Chinese red, so festive, and my second brother will definitely look very handsome in it."
Qiao Simei raised her nose and said in a delicate voice, "Sister, you haven't even married Brother Zhou Chen yet, but you're already speaking for Brother Zhou Chen's family. You don't even take me, your own sister, seriously."
"Bullshit."
Qiao Sanli pointed her finger at Qiao Simei's forehead and said, "After you start working, don't be so slick."
The group soon arrived at Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei's dormitory. Seeing the brand new two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, Qiao Simei cheered and was the first to rush into the bedroom to check.
"Wow, the room is so big."
When Qiao Simei saw that the master bedroom was more than ten square meters, she exclaimed in surprise. You know, the small house in their house was probably only ten square meters and several people lived in it.
In comparison, this master bedroom is only a dozen square meters and is really very large.
Qiao Yicheng was also looking around: the living room, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, and most importantly, there was an independent balcony.
"Zhou Chen, how big is this house?"
"More than 60 square meters, less than 70 square meters."
"It looks so big."
Zhou Chen smiled but said nothing. The reason why it seemed big was because the house did not have a common area. It was said to be more than 60 square meters, but the difference was only a few square meters at most.
"Second brother, second brother, I want this bedroom."
Qiao Simei ran out excitedly, pointed at the larger master bedroom and declared her sovereignty to Qiao Erqiang.
Qiao Erqiang didn't care: "Okay, then I'll live here."
Qiao Simei said happily, "Great, this will be my room from now on. I will decorate it well and put posters of Fei Tianwang and the Four Heavenly Kings on the wall."
Qiao Yicheng said in a stern voice, "Then you have to work hard, otherwise if you give up after a few days, all your efforts will be in vain."
"Brother, how can you say that to me?"
Qiao Simei was very dissatisfied. She said loudly: "Even if it's just for this house, I will work hard. I will definitely make a name for myself."
Zhou Chen encouraged: "As long as you are willing to work hard, there are plenty of opportunities to move up in Chenxing."
"Did you hear that? You have to work hard, okay?"
Qiao Yicheng once again reminded Qiao Simei that he was not worried about Erqiang, but what he was most worried about was Simei's escape, so he had to give her a stern warning.
"Okay, okay, brother, I get it."
After settling Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei, the five of them had lunch together, and then Zhou Chen left Chenxing Textile Factory with the reluctant Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Sanli.
On the way back, Qiao Sanli became very depressed. Once Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei left, there were two people missing at home. If her eldest brother was not at home, she didn't want to go back.
Seeing Qiao Sanli's depressed look, Zhou Chen comforted her, "Sanli, if you want to see Erqiang and Simei, just tell me. I'll drive over. It will be fast and convenient."
Qiao Yicheng also said: "Sanli, Erqiang and Simei have their own jobs. We should be happy for them. We don't let them live at home because of special circumstances. Besides, I won't live at home when I go to school. You have to live in school too. On weekends, you can invite Erqiang and Simei to have dinner together."
"Is Dad okay at home alone?" Qiao Sanli was too kind. She couldn't bear the thought of her lonely father.
But Qiao Yicheng was not as sentimental as she was. He snorted coldly, "Why bother with him? He would rather we don't bother with him. When he runs out of money, he will come to us on his own."
He knew his father very well. In the past, he always annoyed them and spent his money, leaving him with no spare money to live a carefree life.
But now, he is afraid that they will not support him. As long as they give him money, he will definitely not say anything. Unless he is out of money, he will not take the initiative to look for them.
Qiao Yicheng's words reminded Qiao Sanli of her father's virtue. She sighed slightly and agreed with her elder brother's words.
Time flies, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye. This summer, Qiao Yicheng's postgraduate studies also ended. He did not obey the school's assignment, but applied for several units on his own, and was finally accepted by Jinling TV Station.
In this era before the Internet, television was the largest communication medium, especially since Jinling Television Station was a state-owned unit, a perfect combination of civil servants and a good unit.
A large group of people gathered in a private room of Jinling Hotel.
As the protagonist, Qiao Yicheng wore a brand new black suit today.
"Look at you guys. You just passed the exam to become a reporter for a TV station. Why did you waste your money by coming to Jinling Hotel and buying new suits?"
Qiao Yicheng was full of complaints, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face at all.
To be honest, he didn't expect that he could be successfully admitted to the TV station, which was considered very good among the several units he applied for.
After he told his younger brothers and sisters the good news, Qiao Sanli and the others immediately mobilized. The three of them pooled their money and booked a private room at the Jinling Hotel to celebrate Qiao Yicheng becoming a reporter and about to start working.
Qiao Sanli smiled and said, "Brother, Zhou Chen had someone book the private room, but the money was paid by the three of us. As for the suit you're wearing, it was bought by Zhou Chen."
When Qiao Yicheng heard this, he immediately complained to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but why waste this money? Even if you want to buy something, buy something cheaper. This one of yours looks very expensive, doesn't it?"
Although he has never worn a suit, this suit looks special.
Zhou Chen, who was standing with Qiao Sanli, smiled gently and said, "I bought it for you, so just keep it. Why should we be polite to each other? Besides, you will be reporting to the TV station soon. How can you do it without a good outfit? This kind of unit also values image, and you can't leave a bad impression on the leaders."
Qi Weimin walked up to Qiao Yicheng and handed him a shoe box.
"What Zhou Chen said is right. We are all going to work now, and image is very important. Zhou Chen bought you a brand-name suit. I am not as rich as he is, so I bought you a pair of leather shoes. See if they fit you well."
Qiao Yicheng pointed at Qi Weimin helplessly: "Qi Weimin, you, what can I say to you?"
"Brother, if you don't know what to say, then don't say anything. Just accept all of them. This is all out of everyone's kindness."
Qiao Simei happily took the shoe box and opened it, then squatted down: "Brother, lift your feet up, I'll try the size for you."
Qiao Yicheng had no choice but to smile, lift his feet and put on his new shoes.
"Oh, the size is just right, Brother Min, you have good taste." Qiao Simei said coquettishly.
After Qiao Yicheng changed his leather shoes, Chang Xingyu, who was standing behind Qi Weimin, slowly walked forward.
"Brother, this is my gift to you."
Qiao Yicheng: "Chang Xingyu, why are you joining in the fun?"
Chang Xingyu said with a smile: "You are my senior brother. It is only right for me to celebrate for you since you found a job. I personally selected this pen. I hope you like it."
When Qiao Yicheng opened it, he smiled even more: "I like it, I like it, thank you, Xingyu."
Qi Weimin smiled and said, "We are all family from now on, so don't thank me."
