In the blink of an eye, the first class 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 also assigned. I don’t know how many units are waiting for this moment.
For many units, college students must be more enlightened than the cadres and personnel mentioned below.
But there are no absolutes in the world. Some units want college students, but some units don't want college students.
It's just that in the era of this package distribution, most of them, whether they are work units or college students, do not have the right to actively choose.
After all, this is not a future corporate job fair. You can go wherever you want.
As one of the best universities in the country, Peking University is naturally allocated, and the positions allocated are not comparable to those of ordinary universities.
For example, Zhou Chen had decided not to continue his graduate studies, so he was directly assigned to be a university teacher in the Department of Archeology of Peking University.
In fact, the leader of the archeology 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 become a cadre in a government agency, etc.
In the end, Zhou Chen chose to stay in school as a teacher. Because of his outstanding ability, he was promoted beyond the ordinary and skipped the counselor and teaching assistant levels and became a formal lecturer.
Other people in the dormitory, except for one who is continuing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, the others have also been assigned jobs.
However, Wu Jingui and Huang Feilong had already decided to help Zhou Chen, so they did not go to the assigned tasks.
This is also because the jobs they assigned are relatively ordinary. Wu Jingui was assigned to a university, but he was in another city.
Huang Feilong was assigned to the economic department of a city near Yanjing. Although the level was not low, he still refused.
During this time, he saw the popularity of Zhou's small commodity store, and the money was pouring in. Naturally, he was very itchy.
Therefore, he is no longer satisfied with being a cadre and earning a dead salary. In addition, Zhou Chen has promised him that when the store is on track, he can consider letting him become a franchisee and open a small commodity store of his own.
Under this kind of inducement, Huang Feilong agreed without hesitation. Compared with the official career, he chose the money career.
Although this choice made his family very dissatisfied, he was very determined and persisted in his opinion regardless of their family's objections.
Another member of the dormitory, Chen Yan, entered the government agency and became a deputy section chief of the National Development and Reform Commission.
After graduating, Yang Huajian became a member of the Labor Bureau. Although he did not graduate from Peking University, his family had some background and his position was not bad.
Mao Tutu originally wanted to go into business with Zhou Chen, but he was ruthlessly suppressed by his father, and now he has entered a national unit and started to gain qualifications.
In fact, this is also because Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu's family have a relationship in Yanjing. If it doesn't matter, it will be really difficult for even graduates from some prestigious universities to be assigned to government agencies in Yanjing.
After all, this is the capital, and even a small position is nothing but a pitfall.
If you are not particularly outstanding and have no connections, why do you, a graduate studying abroad, think that you can be assigned to a good position in a Yanjing government agency?
Even prestigious schools like Peking University still have such problems. Zhou Chen heard that many people were dissatisfied with the jobs they were assigned.
But even if you are not satisfied, what can you do? If you look for it yourself, you may not be able to find such a unit, so for most people, you can only take your time.
Like Wu Jingui, although he gave up his assigned unit, but relying on Zhou Chen's relationship, he immediately became a senior member of the library after entering the library. If he performs well in a few years, it will be logical for him to become the deputy director.
matter.
Such a starting point is much better than that of many Peking University graduates, so he is naturally very grateful to Zhou Chen.
It is not Zhou Chen's first time to be a university teacher. He had been a medical school teacher before in the world of Qiao's children, so he is very familiar with this profession.
Summer vacation is a rare rest time for Zhou Chen. After the summer vacation, he will start to work as a teacher and start teaching.
The new class of students are no longer in their teens like Zhou Chen and his group, but are now in their thirties. The average age is probably around 20.
Moreover, after four years, the school's management is no longer as strict as before. The school is filled with the atmosphere of youth, and even Zhou Chen feels that he is much younger.
Zhou's small commodity store has completely stabilized, business is still very good, the monthly profit has reached more than 100,000, and the net profit is not low.
Anyway, since the store opened, the smile on Zhou Yi's face has never stopped. She is smiling and in a good mood every day.
And he has already started looking for a new store and is preparing to open a branch. According to the agreement, Huang Feilong will be mainly responsible for the branch this time, so he is more diligent than anyone else.
Zhou Chen only needs to go to the store two or three times a month. He can basically see the general situation by looking at the account books and reports. He doesn't have to worry too much about some of the details.
With the current trend and small commodity stores, it is inevitable that there will be fewer products every day. After all, human eyes are limited. You cannot keep an eye on every customer, not just the customers, but also the employees.
You may not be able to see it.
Although Zhou Chen emphasized it to Zhou Yi, he could still see some problems, but fortunately the problem was not big. After a few punishments, good results were achieved.
As for the future, he has already taught his sister. Whether she can do it well or not depends on her.
Currently, Zhou Chen holds 50% of the shares in Zhou's small 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 is opened, Huang Feilong's shares will be handed over to Yang Ru, who will be responsible for the operation of the new store and occupy 30% of the new store's shares, while the remaining 70% will be owned by Zhou Chen.
Originally, Zhou Chen wanted to give Zhou Yi a share, but Zhou Yi said nothing. She said that managing one store was her limit, and she would not have any shares in future branches.
Zhou Chen knew that Zhou Yi was being reasonable, but at the same time he was doting on him and didn't want him to suffer, so he was so determined.
On this day, Zhou Chen was at home preparing for the class he would attend tomorrow.
The school actually assigned him a house, but it was just a small house with one bedroom and one living room, and it was surrounded by people and was 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 comfort, the villa is better. If there is any shortcoming of the villa, it is that it is not very popular.
Because it was daytime, Zhou Chen didn't lock the door. While he was preparing 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 went to the countryside to collect things?"
Han Chunming said: "I'm back."
"Did you receive anything good? Let me see it."
"I just collected a few inconspicuous things. You must not like them. I came here today to ask for your help."
Zhou Chen sighed and said: "You know, 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 things. I feel like I have raised an older son."
Same."
"Go away, you bitch."
Han Chunming cursed angrily, pointed at Zhou Chen and shouted: "Do you believe I will tell my second sister?"
Zhou Chen shrugged: "Okay, you go tell her and see if she is on my side or on yours."
Han Chunming's expression suddenly became helpless. He knew that even if he really went to find his second sister, his second sister would definitely not help him. The power of love is sometimes so incomprehensible.
"You are powerful, I can't fight you, but I come 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 it to you?"
"I know, what you asked me to do has something to do with this Meng Xiaoxing?"
Of course Zhou Chen knows Meng Xiaoxing, who is also an important supporting role in Zhengyang Clan, but Zhou Chen doesn't like her very much, because Meng Xiaoxing is somewhat similar to Su Meng, and they are both very capable.
The difference is that Meng Xiaoxing is a quick talker. Even though she often lacks eyesight, she still manages to thrive in the plot thanks to her shameless skills.
But what makes Zhou Chen look down on her the most is that this Meng Xiaoxing is really unscrupulous and has no limits on what she can do.
Take the hotel as an example. She originally worked well at the Chaba Restaurant, but as soon as Han Chunming's sister-in-law promised her some benefits, she immediately rebelled and wanted to bring the chef with her.
Also, she knew clearly that her fifth brother, Han Chunming, had nothing to do with Cheng Jianjun, but she still got together with Cheng Jianjun for the sake of profit.
The funny thing is that Cheng Jianjun made fake goods to deceive people, and she participated in the whole process. In the end, Cheng Jianjun became the villain, and she took it out instead. It was really a bit nonsense.
In short, in one sentence, he did not want to have any contact with Meng Xiaoxing. Even if he was with Han Chunyan in the future, he would not want to have anything to do with her.
Han Chunming chuckled and said: "That's right, Xiao Xing was originally working as a waiter at the Tea Shop, but because of my relationship with Cai Xiaoli, she was fired by Xiaoli. Now she is staying at home with nothing to do. I just want to ask you
, your store is not hiring, can you let Xiao Xing work at your place 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, you can't."
Zhou Chen refused without hesitation, which made Han Chunming stunned. In his eyes, Zhou Chen was not the kind of person who was unwilling to help, but why did he refuse today?
"Why? Isn't it just a job? Isn't it the same everywhere?"
"It's different, Han Chunming, this is not just a job issue. You should know that my sister is managing the store now. You said that if I let Meng Xiaoxing go, my sister would do it for my sake.
Should I take care of her? No matter what, what do other people in the store think? But, she is your sister, how should I take care of her? "
Han Chunming said quickly: "Just like everyone else, you can manage whatever you want. Xiaoxing is still very good and has a very discerning eye."
Zhou Chen sneered in his heart, if he was really discerning, he would not be driven away by Cai Xiaoli.
Although it was indeed inappropriate for Cai Xiaoli to drive away Meng Xiaoxing because of her personal affair, in the final analysis, it was Meng Xiaoxing's own fault. If she had done her job well, even if Cai Xiaoli had a conflict with Han Chunming, they would not have done anything wrong.
Drive her away without mercy.
For a person like Meng Xiaoxing, if he went to Zhou's Commodity Store, he might cause some problems. He didn't want to cause any trouble to his own sister.
"Forget it about working in the store. If you don't mind, I can arrange another thing for her."
"What's up?"
"Recently, my college classmate and I are planning to open a branch and he will manage it. We have just found a house and are preparing to renovate it. If your sister is willing, you can let her go to the renovation site and keep an eye on it. She will be paid for one day's work.
, and you can just use this time to help her find a job again."
"this."
Han Chunming looked hesitant. Watching decoration would definitely not be a long-term job, but he also saw Zhou Chen's concerns.
Thinking of Meng Xiaoxing's character, he felt that Zhou Chen's concerns may not be unreasonable. If he forced Meng Xiaoxing to get there, he would cause trouble and would affect his relationship with Zhou Chen.
On one side is my cousin who is in the fifth server, and on the other side is my future brother-in-law.
Han Chunming made a decision quickly.
"I understand. I will do as you say. I will go back and ask Xiaoxing to see if she is willing. If she has no objection, I will bring her to you."
"good."
Seeing that Han Chunming had finished speaking and still had no intention of leaving, Zhou Chen asked, "Is there anything else?"
Han Chunming scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "One more thing, I want to tell you, I have withdrawn from the Chabal Tower. If you go to Chabal Tower to eat in the future, you can charge it to my account.
Yes, I will check out regularly."
"You're overthinking it. I've never thought about going to the Tea House to eat, so it doesn't make any sense for you to tell 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 the Tea House to eat for free.
"I can only say that you are bringing the blame on yourself now. I have told you a long time ago that you cannot partner with Cai Xiaoli, but you just don't listen. Who is to blame?"
Han Chunming smiled bitterly and said: "Things are not what you think. Actually, alas, forget it."
Thinking of the plot in the TV series, Zhou Chen felt it was 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: "Really or not? Zhou Chen, this is not a joke. Don't talk nonsense."
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes at him and said: "Do you think it is necessary for me to joke with you? That boy Cheng Jianjun is not a good person. I told you this because I saw that Cai Xiaoli has a good relationship with you. The reason why Cheng Jianjun hooked up with Cai Xiaoli was because
You, he knows that if he marries Cai Xiaoli, it will definitely make you uncomfortable, and Cai Xiaoli is indeed quite capable, so he did this."
Han Chunming was shocked and did not recover for a long time, but after he came to his senses, he asked Zhou Chen doubtfully.
"How do you know this?"
Zhou Chen pointed to his head: "The brain is a good thing."
Han Chunming's face fell. Zhou Chen's obvious ridicule left him speechless.
"Thank you for telling me this. I'll leave first."
After learning about this matter, Han Chunming couldn't sit still. He just wanted to verify the authenticity of this matter as soon as possible.
Because this matter concerns him, Cai Xiaoli, and Li Chengtao, he knows that Cheng Jianjun is a villain, so he doesn't want Cai Xiaoli to fall into the pit of fire.
At the same time, Taozi is crazy about Cai Xiaoli. If Cai Xiaoli and Cheng Jianjun get together, it will definitely be a devastating blow to Taozi.
To Zhou Chen's surprise, Han Chunming did not bring Meng Xiaoxing to see him the next day. He guessed it was because Han Chunming was dealing with Cai Xiaoli's affairs and had no time to take care of Meng Xiaoxing's work issues.
Zhou Chen felt relieved if he didn't come looking for him. He didn't want to accept Meng Xiaoxing anyway.
Day by day passed by, Zhou Chen was teaching well at Peking University, and his life was quite easy.
The relationship with Han Chunyan also developed slowly over time.
To say how much he likes Han Chunyan is really a lie. He can only have a good impression of Han Chunyan now, but it is not at the level of falling in love. It is estimated that he will not have such deep feelings for Han Chunyan in the future.
love.
He felt that the love between him and Han Chunyan was not as passionate as his previous marriages.
From falling in love to getting married, he has experienced it many times. Except for the time with Gu Jia, he had no feelings at all. When marrying other women, he has invested a lot of love, including romance, quarrels, and all kinds of things.
Not going well...
But this time with Han Chunyan, it was more Han Chunyan's accommodation to him. There was never any quarrel between the two, and as for romance, there was no such thing.
I always feel like it's like living together as a couple. I like them, but I don't love them enough.
Zhou Chen felt a little sorry for Han Chunyan, but he could see that Han Chunyan was still very happy. As long as he was with her, she would be happy.
Zhou Chen knew that Han Chunyan's love for him was nothing but love, but his love for Han Chunyan was far inferior.
He feels that he is really getting worse and worse now. He has experienced more and his heart is getting colder and colder. This may also be the last world. He invested so much emotion that in this world, his emotions
He became a lot more indifferent.
Even though he knew that Han Chunyan was so kind to him, he should love her more, but it was difficult to do so.
He also wanted to understand that if two people get married together, it may not necessarily be because of love, and a marriage without love may not be unhappy.
He and Han Chunyan are together, and as long as he treats Han Chunyan well and doesn't betray her, it doesn't necessarily mean it's not a relationship.
What's more, he has experienced decades later, how many of the couples in the future world are together because of love? Most of them are not the type to live together?
Even if they got together because of love at the beginning, after several years of married life, how many couples can still maintain the same love as before?
I'm afraid that in the end, most people are supported by habits and driven by responsibility...
Anyway, in Zhou Chen's opinion, for most couples, after many years of marriage, family affection will replace love, and the previous affection for each other will be greater than love.
Zhou Chen truthfully told his sister Zhou Yi, his second uncle and his second aunt about falling in love with Han Chunyan.
After learning that the person he was dating was Han Chunyan, both his sister and his second uncle and second aunt were very dissatisfied.
In their eyes, Zhou Chen graduated from Peking University and is now teaching at Peking University. He is an elite in society.
And what about Han Chunyan?
He's just a factory worker. He's not pretty enough, doesn't have much education, and has a poor family background. How can he be worthy of Zhou Chen?
But their opposition was useless. Zhou Chen had already made up his mind, and they could only agree.
Since persuasion was useless, they urged Zhou Chen to get married as soon as possible and expand the branches of the Zhou family as soon as possible.
After knowing Han Chunyan for many years, Zhou Chen believed that Han Chunyan would not change much after they were together.
Even if there is, he is not afraid.
A natural marriage took place just like this.
Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan got married. On the wedding day, it was held at the Chaba Tower, and more than a dozen tables of guests came.
From this day on, Zhou Chen became Han Chunming's second brother-in-law.
…………
"Second sister, I'm staying for dinner today and want to add a bowl."
Han Chunming sat carelessly on a chair and said to Han Chunyan in the room.
Han Chunyan walked out of the house and asked, "Have you said hello to our mother?"
"I told you, when will Zhou Chen come back?"
"What Zhou Chen? He is your brother-in-law."
Han Chunming sighed: "Second sister, we are so familiar with him. If you ask me to call him brother-in-law, I really can't say it out loud. Besides, Zhou Chen doesn't even care, so just leave it alone."
Han Chunyan glared at him: "Not polite at all. He should be back soon. What do you want to eat for dinner? I'll get it for you."
"Hey, second sister, please be nice to me. You can do whatever you want, and I will eat whatever you do."
"Virtue."
"Second sister, please give me the key to the east wing. I'll go over and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Han Chunyan immediately stared at Han Chunming warily: "Don't even think about it. Zhou Chen has already told you that you are not allowed to enter the east wing."
Han Chunming shouted angrily: "Second sister, you can't just do whatever he says. You are also the mistress of the family, and I am your biological brother. I will just go in and take a look. Why can't you do it?"
Han Chunyan sneered: "Xiaowu, who are you, how can I not know? Not to mention your brother-in-law's explanation, even without his explanation, I will not let you in. Everything in there belongs to him.
Baby, don’t even think about taking any of it away.”
Although she and Zhou Chen had only been married not long ago, they had known each other for many years, and they knew very well how much Zhou Chen valued those old objects. If Chunming took away a few of them, she would not be able to explain to Zhou Chen.
Han Chunming's face was full of depression: "Well, you are quite capable. It's okay for Zhou Chen to guard against me. You are my second sister, but you are also guarding against me. We are siblings."
"It's useless what you say to me. I'm going to the kitchen to cook. Just wait here."
When Zhou Chen returned home by bike, he saw Han Chunming sitting in the main room drinking tea and eating melon seeds.
"Chunming, did you come to see me about Cheng Jianjun and Cai Xiaoli? Did you also receive the invitation?"
Han Chunming was stunned when he heard this: "What happened to Cai Xiaoli and Cheng Jianjun? What invitation?"
Zhou Chen took out a wedding invitation from his bag and handed it to Han Chunming.
"I thought you already knew. After all, you live in the same courtyard. It turns out you didn't know."
Han Chunming took a look at the invitation and his expression changed drastically, because it turned out to be a wedding invitation for Cheng Jianjun and Cai Xiaoli.
"I told you before about the matter between Cheng Jianjun and Cai Xiaoli. I thought you could stop it, but I didn't expect it to turn into this."
Cai Xiaoli had flaws, but she was actually a pretty good person. It turned out that Zhou Chen wanted to help her, so he told Han Chunming.
But now it seems that some things cannot be changed by his will, perhaps because he did not directly intervene.
Han Chunming's face turned pale: "Cheng Jianjun, this bastard, and Cai Xiaoli, how long have they been dating? They are about to get married. They are getting married, what will Tao Zi do?"
"Just do whatever you have to do, Chunming, you just worry too much. He, Li Chengtao, is not a three-year-old child. He can't live without Cai Xiaoli?"
In Zhou Chen's opinion, Li Chengtao was stupid, and Cai Xiaoli had already made her attitude clear that she would not be with him, but he still refused to please her.
Licking the dog, licking the dog, licking until the end, there is nothing left.
He is talking about people like Li Chengtao. The reason why he ended up like this is actually because of himself. Even if Cai Xiaoli did some things that were unreasonable, at least she never deceived him emotionally.
