Chapter 1579 Zhou Chen shows off his skills and helps Shen Lin find a job
After eating, Li Xiaoyue took a sip of beer and picked up the article happily.
"I have a gourdful of drink, enough to soothe the wind and dust."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lei immediately interrupted and corrected: "Yes, I have a ladle to drink, which can comfort Fengchen. This is enough to comfort Fengchen. It means enough, but it can be used, but it is not enough." , but I can make do, and I can make do with it to achieve the goal, so it’s just one word difference, but it’s still a big difference.”
Shen Lin looked at her younger brother, who had been a little depressed all night, and suddenly started talking, with a happy smile on her face.
Showing off proudly to her husband Na Wei: "Did you see it? You are a top student."
Zhou Chen also smiled indifferently. What should Shen Lei say? There is absolutely nothing wrong with this person's character. He is an upright and kind person, but his character cannot be said to be bad. I can only say that his character is like that of a scholar in ancient times. .
What does that sentence say? A scholar is useless. This sentence is a bit one-sided, but it is also very reasonable. Scholars can be romantic, talk about the past and present, and have impressive literary talent, but they are really going to encounter something big. , many people cannot bear it.
The reason why Xie Meilan was attracted to Shen Lei in the first place was not because of the scholarly spirit in Shen Lei. The reason why she is disgusted with Shen Lei now is also because of the scholarly spirit in Shen Lei.
Different ages have different pursuits. When they were young, they pursued love and romance. Now that they are thirty, they pursue a wealthy life. This is also the biggest contradiction between the two.
The most suitable thing for people like Shen Lei is that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. If the relationship is too in-depth, it will not be so good, because this kind of person is often a bit arrogant.
Na Wei suddenly remembered something and asked Zhou Chen: "I suddenly remembered, Juan Juan, last time you went to my company, you said you were going to learn painting. How did you do? When will you show us your skills?"
"Learn to draw?"
Shen Lin and Shen Lei both stared with surprise.
Li Xiaoyue said with a smile: "Brother, I wouldn't have thought of it if you didn't tell me. He has been studying painting for a while. He said before that he was talented and would give me a big surprise. But he hasn't done anything yet. See where the surprise is, then Juan, where is the surprise you mentioned?"
Zhou Chen said confidently: "I don't dare to brag about anything else, but when it comes to painting, I have no modesty at all. I am absolutely talented. That means I don't have the tools in my hands right now, otherwise I have to let you see it... "
"Why are there no tools? I just saw colored pens in Yue Yue's room. Please show us what you gained some time ago."
Seeing Li Xiaoyue's big eyes blinking with a smirk on her face, Zhou Chen gently knocked on her head.
"Look, look, this is my wife, she just wants to see me embarrassed."
Na Wei and the other four laughed heartily. In fact, they, like Li Xiaoyue, did not believe Zhou Chen's words.
"Okay, anyway, I've almost eaten and drank enough. Small talk is just small talk. Today I have to give you a hard slap in the face to let you know what a painting genius is. Yue Yue, go get the pen from your room. Don't ask for color. Pen, just take a pencil, and some blank paper, I will show you my skills today."
"Okay."
Seeing the excitement, Yue Yue immediately ran back to the room and quickly brought the pencil and a lot of blank paper.
Li Xiaoyue just teased Zhou Chen and didn't expect Zhou Chen to really agree, so now she regretted it and gently touched Zhou Chen.
"How about forget it, you drank several bottles of beer today."
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said: "It's okay. I said I would let you see it, so I will let you see it."
He cleared the desktop in front of him, then began to sharpen his pencil, looked around, and then began to write.
Seeing that Zhou Chen was really preparing to draw, Na Wei and the others looked at each other. They actually cooperated with Li Xiaoyue and teased Zhou Chen. It turned out to be true, so they all stretched their necks. Shen Lei was the farthest. , he even stood up and leaned forward to look.
Zhou Chen's painting skills have been tempered in many ancient and modern worlds, and have already reached a very high level of proficiency. Even the simplest pencil can become a brush in his hands to outline the painting. The only disadvantage is that the paper is not very precise. It's not good, but it's not difficult for Zhou Chen.
Under the watchful eyes of Li Xiaoyue and others, they saw that after Zhou Chen made a few simple strokes, a scene that surprised them appeared. But at this time, they all held their breaths and did not make any sound to disturb Zhou Chen, waiting quietly.
"Is this what we are now?"
After watching for a while, Shen Lei asked in shock.
Although he hasn't finished the painting yet, he has already seen the clues. What Zhou Chen painted is the scene of their dinner together now.
Li Xiaoyue and the other three were equally shocked, especially Li Xiaoyue. She and Zhou Chen slept together every day, but they didn't realize that Zhou Chen could really draw that well.
Ten minutes later, a piece of A4 paper was covered with patterns, which was the scene when they were eating and drinking in the living room today.
Shen Lin came back to her senses and murmured to herself: "I really believe Juan Juan's words now. He is really talented in painting."
Due to problems with pencils and paper, Zhou Chen's drawings were not so detailed, but several laymen could still tell that Zhou Chen's drawing skills were very superb.
Li Xiaoyue took it over and looked at it carefully. The six of them were all on the paper. You could tell who they were at a glance. Even the clothes patterns were very clear, and you could even see different expressions.
Zhou Chen chuckled and asked, "How is it, Xiaoyue?"
Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but give a thumbs up and saluted: "Mr. Lang, I am short-sighted."
"Naughty."
"Xiaoyue, let me see, let me see."
Na Wei eagerly took the painting from Li Xiaoyue's hand, his eyes widened to the maximum size, and he looked at it carefully.
"It's amazing, it's amazing, Juan Juan, you actually have this kind of talent. Why didn't you notice it when you were a kid? It's because we delayed you."
Shen Lin nodded with deep approval. She couldn't tell how good it was, only that it was very good. And this was just a random drawing by Zhou Chen. If he was serious, he would definitely be better, so Zhou Chen is definitely talented.
Shen Lei also took the painting and looked at it for a long time, his eyes filled with wonder. In the past, his biggest impression of Zhou Chen was that he was a man in science and engineering who knew how to do homework all day long. Although things have changed in the past two years. , but I didn’t expect that Zhou Chen could still have such ability.
"Awesome, Na Juan, that's awesome, you really should become a painter."
"This is not a big deal, it's just the simplest sketch."
Zhou Chen smiled casually. His painting skills were slowly honed over hundreds of years. He would definitely not be able to do it before the system.
But now his physical attributes have been improved in all aspects. The talents that he did not possess before are gradually and naturally strengthened as his spirit becomes stronger and his physical fitness becomes better and better.
What's more, he still has enough time to study and practice, and he will naturally become more and more refined and outstanding.
After being amazed, Na Wei solemnly said: "We must keep this painting. Wife, you can buy a picture frame tomorrow. We will frame it and hang it on the wall of the restaurant. We can look at it every time we eat. arrive."
"Okay, no problem." Shen Lin agreed.
Shen Lei said with a smile: "Na Juan, I think you are really right to learn painting. Not to mention your talent in this area, learning to paint can also cultivate your sentiments and relieve stress. In today's society, involution It's too serious, the pace of life is too fast, it would be much better to live at the pace you live now."
Zhou Chen smiled, neither agreeing nor objecting.
Of course, what Shen Lei said makes sense, but the current social environment is like this. If ordinary people want to live a good life, they can't do it without studying hard. If you don't work hard, you will be left behind by others.
In the domestic environment, if you want to stay out of trouble, the best choice is to calm down and choose to lie flat. Shen Lei's civil servant is very stable and suitable for lying flat, but how many people like him have such a good job?
The vast majority of people are still struggling to make ends meet, so how can they have the right to lie down, let alone not be in trouble.
How many people can truly achieve a balance between the two and be as open-minded as Zhou Chen?
Rolling, rolling, this is the current domestic situation. Children start from childhood, go to kindergarten, school, work, get married..., there is no chance that they will not roll.
To put it bluntly, even if you are a monk now, you still have to take exams.
Seeing Shen Lin standing up to clear the table, Zhou Chen quickly stopped her.
"Wait a minute, sister-in-law, don't rush to accept it now, I have something to ask your opinion on."
"Ask me? What's going on?"
Shen Lin looked surprised. She just stood up and sat down again as instructed.
Na Wei also asked curiously: "What do you want to ask your sister-in-law about? Do you want to learn how to make braised food and bad goods from your sister-in-law?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "It's not impossible if my sister-in-law is willing to teach me, but that's not what I want to say. Sister-in-law, I see that you have been submitting resumes to Xiaoyue recently. How is your job search going? Is there a suitable one? ?”
Speaking of this, Shen Lin suddenly became depressed and pushed her long hair behind her ears.
"Speaking of this, I feel strange. The current workplace is really not easy. It is so difficult to find a suitable job. After submitting so many resumes, only two companies called me and asked me to go for an interview. One is the company of my former colleague, but he is a human resources specialist in a small company, and his after-tax salary is only 6,000; the other one has a higher salary, but may have to be sent to other cities, so of course I cannot go."
"I haven't been in the workplace for five years. I didn't expect the changes to be so drastic. We, the people, can no longer keep up with the times."
In fact, the reality is not as miserable as Shen Lin said. If you really want to find a job, there are still many jobs.
It's just that Shen Lin's requirements for finding a job are a bit high. One is that she can't live far away from home, and she has to take care of two children. She also wants a good position with high salary, preferably in an office, and the rest does odd jobs. She doesn't even like it.
As a result, it will certainly be difficult for her to find a job.
Shen Lei comforted him: "Sister, you don't have to be too anxious. Anyway, you haven't worked in five years. Don't be anxious for a while. Just look for it slowly. You will definitely find the right one. Don't you still have a brother-in-law at home? I'm not that kind of person." To the extent that you have to work."
"Hey, Shen Lei is right. Wife, you can't be in a hurry when it comes to finding a job. Take your time." Na Wei also advised him.
Shen Lin said: "I wasn't in a hurry at first, but with your company's current situation, the options are useless. The two children are getting older, and the living expenses are getting bigger and bigger. I can't be in a hurry."
Na Wei has nothing to say. When he first signed the option, he was so high-spirited, but now, he can't be so high-spirited. He is lucky to be able to keep his current job.
"Jianjuan, why did you remember to ask me about finding a job?"
"It's like this, sister-in-law, I had dinner with a friend two days ago. When we were chatting, I heard him say that their human resources department was preparing to make adjustments recently and was short of people. When I thought about it, sister-in-law, didn't you work in the human resources department before? I used to be a human resources director, so I mentioned it to him, and he was very interested, so I wanted to ask you if you want to give it a try at my friend's company."
Shen Lin was overjoyed when she heard this and said hurriedly: "I'm interested, of course I'm interested, but will it cause you any trouble?"
Na Wei also asked: "Yes, Juan Juan, your sister-in-law is not in a hurry. If it is troublesome and you owe a favor, let it go."
"It's no trouble, and there's no need to owe a favor. In fact, he still owes me a favor. Xiaoyue has also met that man, Tang Wenbo. I saved his daughter's life before."
As soon as Zhou Chen talked about saving lives, Li Xiaoyue suddenly remembered what happened on the plane.
"It's him, I remember, brother, sister-in-law, if it's that person, it's indeed true. Na Juan saved his daughter."
Zhou Chen said: "He is short of people now. I helped him find someone. He should thank me. Sister-in-law, you don't have to think so much. If you want to give it a try, I will say hello to him."
"But I've agreed in advance that they are a listed company with a large scale and have their own management system. If you go there, you won't be able to get a high position at the beginning, and you may even have to study for a period of time in the early stage. As for salary and benefits, Then don’t worry, they are a large listed company and have strict regulations in this regard, and the salary will not be low. The specific amount depends on the position you end up in."
"Still a large listed company?" Na Wei was even more surprised.
As for Shen Lin, her face was full of excitement. She was already moved. After all, there was no way that her brother-in-law would trick her. Now that Zhou Chen said it was so good and it was a large listed company, how could she not want to go?
"Juanjuan, my current situation is that it is so difficult to find a job. You said it so well. Of course I want to go. But at my age, can people think highly of me? I really won't cause you any trouble." ?”
Zhou Chen advised: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Large listed companies like them are actually different from ordinary entrepreneurial companies. What they need is stability and maturity. Sister-in-law, you have many years of experience, so you definitely meet the requirements."
"If you decide to give it a try, sister-in-law, I will call him when I get back tonight. I can go to their company for an interview next Monday. By the way, their company headquarters is in the CBD."
"That's quite convenient." Na Wei is very satisfied with this place of work. It's close to home and has convenient transportation, which can save a lot of trouble.
Shen Lei also advised at this time: "Sister, I think it's very reliable. You'll be fine. You can give it a try."
Shen Lin was originally excited and wanted to give it a try, but now that her husband and brother supported it, she was even more excited.
"Juanjuan, if it's really not troublesome, I want to give it a try."
Zhou Chen smiled and nodded: "It's not troublesome. Since there's no problem with you, sister-in-law, I'll call him when I get back. Forget it, I'll treat him to dinner tomorrow and talk to him in person."
Na Wei said: "Tomorrow is the weekend, why don't you let us treat her? You help your sister-in-law find a job, and you are asked to treat her. How can this be justified?"
"Yes, Juan Juan, let me and your brother invite you." Shen Lin also agreed.
"It's really not necessary."
Zhou Chen refused: "We are all a family. If you say this, you will be out of touch. It is not good if there are too many people. It is more convenient for me to talk alone. I have a very good relationship with Old Tang. It is really not a problem." thing."
Not to mention that he and Tang Wenbo got along well, even if it was for saving Tang Xintong's life on the plane, this little thing was nothing to Tang Wenbo.
In fact, it would not be difficult for him to really want to find a good job for Shen Lin, but that would be too deliberate. He was worried that Na Wei and Shen Lin would overthink it, which was embarrassing.
Through Tang Wenbo's friendship, it was easier for Na Wei and Shen Lin to accept it.
"One more thing, sister-in-law, Lao Tang and his company are mainly engaged in foreign trade business, so the requirements for foreign languages may be higher. You must learn and practice more English."
"English, no problem."
English is not Shen Lin's strong point, especially after so many years have passed and she has almost forgotten it.
But if there are difficulties, solve them. She has been studying English seriously since dinner today. She doesn't believe that she can't learn English well.
