The night was deep, Zhou Jing put down his pen and rubbed his sore eyes and turned to look at his phone. He saw the little crystal in the video lying on the bed snoring happily, her cheeks bulging up and down. She was so cute.
Seeing that the time on his watch was approaching eleven o'clock, Zhou Jinggang turned off the video and suddenly someone knocked on his office door, which surprised him.
"Xiao Jin, is it you? You've been at the company and haven't come home?"
"Commander Zhou, I..."
"Don't be in a hurry, sit down and talk slowly."
"Inside..."
At this time, Jin Yulong no longer had the high-spirited look of the past and his whole body felt a little uneasy. After he sat down, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing stood up, made a cup of hot tea, put it in front of him, and then slowly asked: "Xiao Jin, I already know about your family, do you have any ideas when you come to me now?"
As soon as Jin Yulong picked up the tea cup, his hand trembled when he heard Zhou Jing's words and he almost spilled the tea, "You...all know it."
"Well, you must have something to say to me if you stay in the company so late. Don't be nervous. You can speak freely here."
That being said, Jin Yulong still hesitated when facing Zhou Jing's earnest gaze. It took him a long time to muster up the courage to take out a piece of paper and put it respectfully in front of Zhou Jing.
"Resignation application?" Zhou Jing glanced at it and was immediately shocked, "You want to leave DPS, why?"
"I have decided to return to my hometown in Quanzhou." Jin Yulong bowed deeply to Zhou Jing and then said very sincerely, "Thank you very much for your training and teachings to me during this time, but now my family needs me, I...
"We must go back and send Hamida away."
Zhou Jing was silent. He fully understood Jin Yulong's mood at this time. After all, he had also encountered a similar situation. The inner suffering and helplessness were simply unbearable to look back on.
The two of them fell silent face to face. Zhou Jing looked at Jin Yulong in front of him with complicated eyes, and he could see that the young man was actually very reluctant to let go.
After a long time, Zhou Jing put the application form in his hand on the table. Jin Yulong thought he was going to sign it with a pen, but Zhou Jing suddenly asked with a smile: "Are you hungry?"
"Nei, Arnie, Commander Zhou..." Jin Yulong didn't understand what Zhou Jing meant, and Zhou Jing didn't let him finish his words at all.
"Whether you're hungry or not, I'm hungry anyway. Speaking of which, we haven't had a drink together yet. What do you think? Are you interested in going for a drink with me?"
"Ah? Okay."
"Then let's go?"
"Inside"
It’s the same horse-drawn carriage and tent shop that we often go to by the Han River. When Zhou Jing arrived, the proprietress just followed the old rules without taking an order. And unlike the other tables of guests, Zhou Jing’s table didn’t have kimchi or soju but fried peanuts.
Rice and Erguotou.
There is an episode here. Zhou Jing felt that it would be troublesome to bring wine every time, so he asked the landlady to go to the Chinese supermarket to buy some supplies. At first, Zhou Jing was the only one drinking. Unexpectedly, Koreans also liked this drink.
As a result, more and more local customers will order Erguotou, and some people even come here specifically to see it. The business in the store is booming. It can be regarded as an unintentional intervention by Zhou Jing.
As soon as Zhou Jing sat down, he sent a message on his mobile phone. The other party responded quickly. After reading the reply, he smiled and then grabbed the wine bottle to pour wine for Jin Yulong and himself.
"Boss, let me do it." Jin Yulong wanted to take the bottle and do it for him, but Zhou Jing gently pushed him away.
"We're not in a company now. There are no leaders who don't lead. Just call me brother."
"Ah? This...isn't appropriate." Jin Yulong scratched his head and felt a little abrupt.
"What's the point? Director Su also called me brother in private when he was my assistant. He can call you but you can't?" Zhou Jing said disapprovingly.
Can that be the same? Jin Yulong smiled bitterly in his heart. You must know that Su Dongpo's father is the executive director of Putie. Who is he? How dare he be compared with Xiao Su.
In the end, it was only after Zhou Jing's insistence that Jin Yulong changed his mind. As a result, the atmosphere of the chat between the two became much more relaxed. After Zhou Jing took a sip of wine, he suddenly asked:
"Yu Long, I remember that the industry in Quanzhou is not developed. You majored in engineering. Is it easy to find a job after resigning?"
"Well, I plan to go to Gunsan Industrial Zone to give it a try. It is said that many companies have settled there, and it is relatively close to home, making it easier to take care of my parents and younger sister." Jin Yulong sighed and seemed a little lonely when he spoke.
"Well, that's a way." Zhou Jing nodded calmly, but his next sentence instantly broke Jin Yulong's guard, "Have you told Cui Tea? I heard him say that you just entered the factory.
I think very highly of you and take great care of you, is that right?"
"I..." Jin Yulong's eyes suddenly turned red. Recalling Cui Tea's eager anticipation before coming to Seoul, large tears quickly fell silently on his cheeks.
"You're a good-for-nothing man. He bleeds, sweats, and sheds no tears. What's the use of crying?" Zhou Jing curled his lips and seemed not to be touched by Jin Yulong's sadness.
However, even though Zhou Jing said this, he still let the other party cry freely. It was not until Jin Yulong's mood stabilized a little that he continued:
"You are the eldest son. When your family is in trouble, you would rather give up your own future and let your younger brother go to college. You have done better than me in this regard, so I want to toast you."
"Ani, Brother Zhou Jing, I...don't dare to take it seriously."
"Axi... here we go again, I say you can do whatever you want."
Zhou Jing ignored Jin Yulong's excuse and directly touched the wine glass he placed on the table and drank it in one gulp. Seeing this, Jin Yulong had no choice but to follow suit.
But as soon as he drank the wine, he felt something was wrong. His stomach and throat were all burning, and his head began to feel dizzy. At the moment when Jin Yulong was confused, Zhou Jing's calm voice came to his ears.
"Yulong, I don't think you should leave. If you are willing to stay, how about I accept you as my apprentice?"
What? Jin Yulong trembled all over and his mind immediately woke up. He stared at the smiling Zhou Jing in front of him with wide eyes and had no idea how to answer the question.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There has been news circulating within the company that Executive Director Su really wanted Zhou Jing to be Xiao Su’s master, but Zhou Jing didn’t seem to agree.
The master-apprentice system also exists in South Korea, and is generally called the "internal disciple system." However, this tradition is not common in modern manufacturing companies, but is quite common in the arts and sports world.
If according to South Korea's strict hierarchy, once Jin Yulong becomes Zhou Jing's apprentice, it means that he has a great chance of inheriting Zhou Jing's mantle in the future.
This is not just painting a cake, but directly placing a broad road in front of Jin Yulong. Will this make him unmoved? But...
Zhou Jing lit a cigarette and looked at Jin Yulong's troubled expression. He understood very well what the young man's concerns were, so he asked him an interesting question.
"Yulong, do you believe me?"
After all, it was the rising star that Zhou Jing was interested in. Jin Yulong immediately realized it. In this case, he had nothing to hesitate, but his next movement was really a bit loud.
Jin Yulong picked up the wine glass and knelt down with a plop. This sudden move startled the other guests. Although South Koreans are accustomed to kneeling, this kneeling was too sudden.
"Master, I'll give you a toast. From now on, you must be strict with me. I will never let you down. Please."
Zhou Jing took the wine glass from Jin Yulong's hand and drank it in one gulp, then helped him up and apologized to the guests around him. This made Jin Yulong blush and feel very embarrassed.
"Yu Long, since you call me master, please rest assured that I will not stand by and watch your difficulties, master. Do you understand?"
"Hey, Master, I understand."
"Also, you are my disciple of Zhou Jing. From now on, please don't kneel down. There is gold under the man's knees. We won't kneel down to anyone except our parents and elders. Do you remember?"
"Nai, remember."
"Very well, here's the last one."
"Master, please speak."
"Can you stop pink Taeyeon? Those short legs are there
What’s good, really.”
Now Jin Yulong stopped talking. He wanted to glare at her but he didn't dare. After all, he had just recognized his master, but asking him not to like Taeyeon... I can't do it.
"Okay, I'm just joking with you. I hope I scare you." Zhou Jing patted Jin Yulong on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Jin Yulong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It was more difficult for him to quit his fandom than to decide to resign and go home. It was simply a fatal multiple-choice question.
At this time, when a customer came into the store, the proprietress immediately greeted him warmly. Zhou Jing calculated the time and estimated that it was her who came, so he raised his eyebrows at Jin Yulong and teased:
"Today is our first day as master and apprentice. Master, I will give you a apprenticeship ceremony, but please be quiet and don't get too excited."
After saying that, he turned to look at the person who came, but was stunned on the spot. The person wearing a hat and mask was indeed walking towards them, but...
When did Kim Taeyeon grow taller? From a visual inspection, she was taller than Crystal. Zhou Jing was filled with doubts for a while and couldn't figure out what the hell was going on with that short body.
