The world of film and television begins from childhood

"It's okay. It's just popular now, but it won't work after a while. This kind of store won't make much money."

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Mao Ditu couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Yang Huajian, you heard it, didn't you? Listen to the tone of his voice now. He can't make much money? He's being modest to us. If he didn't make money, would you make such a big fuss?"

Yang Huajian said: "Zhou Chen, to be honest, I am quite interested in your store. This is a new model, and I think it will definitely be popular."

Zhou Chen said: "I really don't expect to make much money from it. In fact, it is more to find something for my sister to do."

Not wanting to talk more about this topic, Zhou Chen asked, "You two have graduated, have you thought about your future career? Are you going to work in a government agency, or something like that?"

Yang Huajian sighed, "As for me, my old man has arranged for me to work in a government agency. To be honest, I don't want to go. I still think it's more promising to do business with you. Look at Han Chunming, he rides a motorcycle and has opened a restaurant. He's doing better than us college students."

Mao Ditu also agreed: "What Yang Huajian said is right. I originally wanted to work in a government agency, but now I have changed my mind. Since we have already started reform and opening up, pursuing a career in government may not be the best path. I want to start a business, and I have some experience in this area."

"It's good that you can have your own ideas. Whether you go to government agencies or start your own business, both are promising."

Zhou Chen did not rashly give them any advice. Sometimes, what he thinks is good may not necessarily be good for others. Everyone has their own ideas and fate.

Mao Ditu rolled his eyes and said, "Zhou Chen, how about I partner with you? No matter what you do, I will listen to you."

Whether it was the supply and marketing cooperative business they did in the beginning, or the small commodity store Zhou Chen opened this time, he had witnessed Zhou Chen's business acumen.

He felt that if he partnered with Zhou Chen, it would definitely be much better than working alone.

Zhou Chen did not give a direct answer, but said: "Let's not talk about this now. We are here to attend the banquet. Have you prepared the red envelopes?"

Mao Ditu understood what Zhou Chen meant, so he didn't continue the topic.

"Now that everyone is here, we must prepare the red envelopes."

"Then let's give the red envelope to Han Chunming together later."

"OK, no problem."

Chapter 658 Distribution, Marriage

In the blink of an eye, the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination graduated four years later, which caused quite a stir in the country.

Because in this era, as long as college students graduate, they are basically at the cadre level, and college students are guaranteed jobs. I wonder how many units are waiting for this moment.

For many units, college students are definitely more conscious than the cadres and personnel promoted from below.

But nothing is absolute in this world. Some units want college students, but some units do not want college students.

However, in this era of guaranteed job assignment, most people, whether they are employees or college students, do not have the right to make an active choice.

After all, this is not a corporate job fair in later times where you can just go wherever you want.

As one of the best universities in the country, Peking University naturally guarantees job placement, and the positions allocated are not comparable to those of ordinary universities.

For example, Zhou Chen had already decided not to continue his postgraduate studies, so he was directly assigned to the Archaeology Department of Peking University as a university teacher.

In fact, the leaders of the Archaeology Department had already discussed this matter with him and gave him several options.

You can join the school's archaeological team and participate in archaeological work across the country; you can also choose to work in a museum, or work as a cadre in a government agency, etc.

In the end, Zhou Chen chose to stay in school as a teacher. Because of his outstanding abilities, he was promoted out of turn, skipping the levels of counselor and teaching assistant and becoming a formal lecturer.

Except for one person who continued to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, the other people in the dormitory were assigned jobs.

However, Wu Jingui and Huang Feilong had already decided to help Zhou Chen, so they did not go to the assigned work.

This is also because the jobs assigned to them were relatively ordinary. Wu Jingui was assigned to a university, but it was in another city.

Huang Feilong was assigned to the economic department of a city near Yanjing. Although the rank was not low, he still refused.

During this period, he saw the popularity of Zhou's small commodity store. The money was pouring in, so he was naturally very tempted.

Therefore, he was no longer satisfied with being a cadre and receiving a fixed salary. In addition, Zhou Chen had already promised him that once the store was on track, he could consider letting him become a franchisee and open a small commodity store of his own.

Faced with such temptation, Huang Feilong agreed without hesitation. Compared with a career in politics, he chose a career in money.

Although this choice made his family very unhappy, he was very determined and insisted on his own opinion regardless of his family's opposition.

Another member of the dormitory, Chen Yan, joined a government agency and became a deputy section chief in the Development and Reform Commission.

After graduation, Yang Huajian became a member of the Labor Bureau. Although he did not graduate from Peking University, his family had some background and the position was pretty good.

Mao Ditu originally wanted to go into business with Zhou Chen, but was ruthlessly suppressed by his father. Now he has entered a state-owned unit to gain experience.

In fact, this is also because Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu’s family have connections in Yanjing. If they don’t have connections, even if they are graduates from some prestigious universities, it would be very difficult to be assigned to government agencies in Yanjing.

After all, this is the capital, and even the smallest position will be filled by each person.

If you are not particularly outstanding and do not have any connections, why do you, a graduate who studied in another place, think that you can be assigned to a good position in the Yenching government agency?

Even a prestigious university like Peking University has this problem. Zhou Chen heard that many people were dissatisfied with the jobs assigned to them.

But even if you are not satisfied, what else can you do? You may not be able to find such a unit if you look for it yourself, so for most people, they can only wait and see.

Like Wu Jingui, although he gave up the assigned unit, he relied on Zhou Chen's relationship and entered the library. He directly became a senior executive of the library. If he performs well in a few years, it would be natural for him to become the deputy director.

Such a starting point is much better than that of many Peking University graduates, so he is naturally very grateful to Zhou Chen.

This was not the first time that Zhou Chen worked as a university teacher. Before, in the world of Qiao's children, he had been a teacher at a medical school, so he was very familiar with this profession.

Summer vacation is a rare rest time for Zhou Chen. After the summer vacation, he will start working as a teacher and begin teaching.

The new class of students is no longer like Zhou Chen's class, with students ranging from teenagers to those in their thirties. The average age is around twenty years old.

Moreover, after four years, the school's management is not as strict as it was at the beginning. The school is filled with a youthful atmosphere, and even Zhou Chen feels a lot younger.

Zhou's small commodity store has completely stabilized and business is still good. The monthly profit has reached more than 100,000, and the net profit is not low.

Anyway, since the store opened, Zhou Yi has had a constant smile on her face. She is smiling every day and in a very good mood.

They have also started looking for a new storefront and are preparing to open a branch. According to the agreement, Huang Feilong will be primarily responsible for this branch, so he is more diligent than anyone else.

As for the matters at the store, Zhou Chen only needed to go there two or three times a month. Just by looking at the account books and the reports, he could basically get a general idea of ​​the situation. He did not ask too much about some of the minor details.

With the current atmosphere and the fact that it is a small commodity store, it is inevitable that some goods will be missing every day. After all, human eyes are limited, and you can't keep an eye on every customer. Not only customers, but even employees, you may not be able to keep an eye on them.

Although Zhou Chen emphasized this to Zhou Yi, he could still see some problems. Fortunately, the problems were not serious. After several punishments, there were good results.

As for the future, he has already taught his sister, and whether she can do it well depends on herself.

Currently, Zhou Chen holds 50% of the shares in Zhou’s Commodity Store, Zhou Yi holds 40%, and the remaining 10% is divided between Huang Feilong and Yang Ru, the female college student who assists Zhou Chen.

However, after the new store opens, Huang Feilong's shares will be transferred to Yang Ru, who will be responsible for the operation of the new store and hold 30% of the shares of the new store, while the remaining 70% will belong to Zhou Chen.

Originally, Zhou Chen wanted to give a portion to Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi refused everything, saying that managing one store was already her limit, and she would not have a share in future branches.

Zhou Chen knew that this was because Zhou Yi was understanding and at the same time spoiled him and didn't want him to suffer any loss, so she was so determined.

That day, Zhou Chen was at home preparing for tomorrow's class.

The school actually allocated him a house, but it was just a small one-bedroom house, and it was surrounded by people and very noisy. Zhou Chen was not used to living there, so he basically lived in a courtyard house.

However, he has already started planning to buy a villa. In terms of living comfort, a villa is better. If there is any disadvantage of a villa, it is that it is not very popular.

Because it was daytime, Zhou Chen did not lock the door. When he was preparing his lessons carefully, he suddenly heard footsteps. He got up and walked to the door to take a look.

"Han Chunming, why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to the countryside to collect things?"

Han Chunming said: "I'm back now."

"Did you receive anything good? Let me see it."

"I just collected a few insignificant items. You will definitely not like them. I came here today to ask for your help."

Zhou Chen sighed and said, "You know what, Han Chunming, I really don't want to see you now. Every time I see you, you either borrow money or ask me to do something. I feel like I've raised a big son."

"Get out of here, you bitch."

Han Chunming cursed angrily, pointed at Zhou Chen and shouted, "Do you believe me or not? I'll tell my second sister."

Zhou Chen shrugged: "Sure, go tell her and see if she's on my side or yours."

Han Chunming's face suddenly became helpless. He knew that even if he really went to find his second sister, she would definitely not help him. The power of love is sometimes so unstoppable.

"You are so powerful that I cannot defeat you. However, I came to you this time because I really have something to ask of you."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I have a younger sister named Meng Xiaoxing. I wonder if my second sister has ever mentioned her to you?"

"I know that what you asked me to do is related to this Meng Xiaoxing?"

Of course Zhou Chen knew Meng Xiaoxing. Meng Xiaoxing was also an important supporting role in Zhengyang Sect. However, Zhou Chen did not like her very much because Meng Xiaoxing was a bit similar to Su Meng, both of them were very pretentious.

The difference is that Meng Xiaoxing is good at talking and even though she lacks good eyesight most of the time, she is able to thrive in the plot thanks to her shameless ability.

But what Zhou Chen disliked most about her was that Meng Xiaoxing was really greedy for profit and had no moral integrity.

Take the restaurant for example, she was doing well at Chabalou, but as soon as Han Chunming's sister-in-law promised her benefits, she immediately defected and wanted to take the chef with her.

Also, even though she knew that her fifth brother Han Chunming and Cheng Jianjun did not get along, she still got together with Cheng Jianjun for the sake of profit.

What's funny is that she was involved in the whole process of Cheng Jianjun making fake goods to deceive people. In the end, Cheng Jianjun became the villain and she was the one who got out of it. It's really ridiculous.

In a nutshell, he didn't want to have any contact with Meng Xiaoxing. Even if he was with Han Chunyan in the future, he didn't want to have anything to do with her.

Han Chunming chuckled and said, "It's like this. Xiao Xing used to be a waitress at Chabalou, but because of my relationship with Cai Xiaoli, she was fired by Xiaoli. Now she's sitting at home with nothing to do. I wanted to ask you if your store is hiring. Can I let Xiao Xing work there for a while?"

"If you ask me to help her find another job, I can agree, but if you want her to work in Zhou's store, I can't."

Zhou Chen's refusal without hesitation stunned Han Chunming. In his eyes, Zhou Chen was not the kind of person who was unwilling to help, but why did he refuse today?

"Why? It's just a job, isn't it the same everywhere?"

"It's different, Han Chunming. This is not a simple job position issue. You should know that my sister is in charge of the store now. If I let Meng Xiaoxing go, should my sister manage her for my sake? If she doesn't care, what will other people in the store think? If she cares, she's your sister, how can she manage her?"

Han Chunming quickly said, "Just like everyone else, we should manage her as we should. Xiao Xing is quite good and has good judgment."

Zhou Chen sneered in his heart, if he had really good eyesight, he would not have been driven away by Cai Xiaoli.

Although it was inappropriate for Cai Xiaoli to drive Meng Xiaoxing away because of her personal affair, in the final analysis, it was Meng Xiaoxing's own fault. If she could do a good job, even if Cai Xiaoli and Han Chunming had a conflict, the other party would not have driven her away mercilessly.

If someone like Meng Xiaoxing went to Zhou's small commodity store, who knows what kind of trouble might arise. He didn't want to cause trouble for his own sister.

"Forget about working in the store. If you don't mind, I can arrange something else for her."

"what's up?"

"Recently, my college classmate and I are planning to open a branch store, which he will manage. We have just found a house and are preparing to renovate it. If your sister is willing, you can ask her to go to the renovation site and watch over it. She will be paid for one day's work, and you can use this time to help her find a new job."

"this."

Han Chunming looked hesitant. Supervising the decoration was definitely not a long-term job, but he also saw Zhou Chen's concerns.

Thinking of Meng Xiaoxing's personality, he felt that Zhou Chen's concerns might be reasonable. If he forced Meng Xiaoxing over there, it would cause trouble and would affect his relationship with Zhou Chen.

On one side is the fifth-degree cousin, and on the other side is the future brother-in-law.

Han Chunming made a decision quickly.

"I understand. I'll do as you say. I'll go back and ask Xiao Xing if she's willing. If she has no objection, I'll bring her to see you."

"it is good."

Seeing that Han Chunming had finished talking and had no intention of leaving, Zhou Chen asked, "Anything else?"

Han Chunming scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "There is one more thing I want to tell you. I have withdrawn from Chabalou. If you go to Chabalou to eat in the future, you can put it on my account. I will settle the bill regularly."

"You think too much. I have never thought about going to Chabalou for dinner, so there is no point in you telling me this."

Zhou Chen told the truth. Not to mention that Han Chunming had withdrawn, even if Han Chunming had not withdrawn, he had never thought of going to Chabalou for a free meal.

"I can only say that you have brought this upon yourself. I told you a long time ago that you should not partner with Cai Xiaoli, but you just wouldn't listen. Who do you blame?"

Han Chunming smiled bitterly and said, "Things are not what you think. Actually, oh, forget it."

Thinking of the plot in the TV series, Zhou Chen felt it necessary to remind Han Chunming.

"Chunming, there is something you may not know. Cheng Jianjun and Cai Xiaoli may have hooked up."

"what?"

Han Chunming jumped up in shock and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief: "Is this true? Zhou Chen, this is not a joke, don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you think I need to joke with you? Cheng Jianjun is not a good person. I told you this because I saw that you and Cai Xiaoli have a good relationship. The reason why Cheng Jianjun hooked up with Cai Xiaoli was because of you. He knew that if he married Cai Xiaoli, you would be uncomfortable. In addition, Cai Xiaoli is indeed very capable, so he did this."

Han Chunming was so shocked that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. But when he came to his senses, he asked Zhou Chen in confusion.

"How do you know this?"
