Except for Xue Chen, everyone was startled by Luo Jiang's fierce reaction. They didn't know why Luo Jiang suddenly became so excited, as if he was a different person, completely losing his usual poise.
Luo Jiang panted slightly and asked him to ask Xue Chen to help his son arrange work. Not to mention whether Xue Chen could agree or not, he himself could not afford to lose face.
The Treasure Appraisal Conference had been completely defeated, Zhenbaoxuan's business had plummeted, and the two parties were already sworn enemies. It was absolutely impossible for him to say good things to Xue Chen and ask him to do things in a lowly manner!
When Xue Chen saw Luo Jiang's reaction, he had already expected it. It was precisely because he knew that Luo Jiang would not be so shameless that he would arrange a job for his son, so he readily agreed. In this way, he could also let
Luo Bing felt uncomfortable not being caught in the middle. It also made it difficult for Luo Hai and Wang Hongmei to find fault. It wasn't that he didn't agree to arrange the work, but the other party didn't need him, so it had nothing to do with him.
"Da Jiang, what's wrong with you today?" Luo Hai asked. As soon as Luo Jiang came in, he felt something was wrong.
Luo Jiang's face was as dark as water: "Excuse me, brother, sister-in-law, please don't worry about it. There is no need to look for Zhiqiang's job now. I will explain to you later. Let's go first. Zhiqiang and I are leaving."
When Luo Zhiqiang saw his father turning away, he muttered: "You are really sick."
Although he was very reluctant, he still followed.
Seeing Luo Jiang not saying a few words, he suddenly and inexplicably opened the door and left with his son. Luo Hai's family of three were still confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Uncle Luo and Auntie, since I don't need to arrange work, I'll leave first. I still have things to do." Xue Chen said, picked up the coat on the sofa, nodded and walked out the door.
went.
Luo Hai and Wang Hongmei didn't stay either.
"Xue Chen, I'll see you off." Luo Bing followed.
When only Luo Hai and Wang Hongmei were left in the living room, they looked at each other with unhappy expressions on their faces.
"What's this? I've prepared all the dishes. I spent more than 200 yuan to buy crabs. Isn't it all wasted?" Wang Hongmei held a spoon in her hand, her face was tangled, and she patted her thigh.
Luo Hai also frowned: "What's going on with Dajiang? We spent so much time trying to persuade Xiaobing to find Xue Chen and persuade him to help arrange the work. He was fine, but he was inexplicable.
Pushed."
"Xue Chen, is there any conflict between you and my Uncle Jiang?" After going downstairs, Luo Bing followed Xue Chen and asked.
"Why did you say that?" Xue Chen asked with a chuckle.
"Just now I saw that Luo Jiang's uncle didn't want to beg you, so he left. And you two knew each other before, so they are definitely not friends. It's just possible that they are not on good terms." Luo Bing analyzed and said, his eyes suddenly brightened.
After a moment, he said, "Well, did you already guess that my uncle would definitely not let you arrange work after seeing you, so you agreed readily?"
Xue Chen stopped, turned around and looked at Luo Bing: "Your previous guesses are all right, except for the last sentence. I do have some grievances with you, Uncle Jiang, but even if there is no grievances, I will agree because of you. No
Make it difficult for you."
Luo Bing looked at Xue Chen who looked serious. When he heard these words, his pretty face turned red and he lowered his head, and his heart seemed to melt.
When Xue Chen was about to get in the car, Luo Bing stood aside, pursed her thin lips, and had a soft light in her eyes: "If you have time, remember to contact me."
When she got home, Luo Bing saw her parents sitting at the kitchen table, looking at a table of sumptuous dishes with a bad look on her face. After she sat down, she said in a brisk tone: "Mom and Dad, did you promise me?"
, as long as Xue Chen agrees to help Zhiqiang find a job, he will no longer prevent me from contacting him. Now that Xue Chen has agreed, Uncle Jiang himself no longer needs it, so you are not allowed to regret it."
Luo Hai and Wang Hongmei were already in a bad mood. After listening to Luo Bing's words, their mood suddenly worsened. They felt that all their busy work was in vain, everything was in vain, things were not done, and they even lost a favor to Xue Chen.
On the way back, Xue Chen received a call from Wang Dong.
"Old Xue, what do you think about the branch Yang Guang mentioned?"
"Why, are you tempted and want to open a branch?" Xue Chen asked with a smile.
Wang Dong chuckled and said very matter-of-factly: "I'm a little tempted. I just want to work hard and give it a try while I'm young. Although I can eat and drink just by guarding this antique shop, a man must be a little ambitious, right?"
"Opening a branch is not something you just say. You have to think carefully about where to open the branch. You also have to think carefully about whether to rent or buy the store. There is still a lot of work to do later. I
Now at Yunteng Auction, it is impossible to deal with it separately, and you have to manage excellence, so it is difficult to allocate your energy."
Hearing Xue Chen say so much, Fatty Wang was a little discouraged: "Then you mean not to open a branch?"
"Of course not, the branch still needs to be opened, but before opening the branch, you need to hire a person with strong work ability to handle all the preliminary preparations for opening the branch."
"Okay, I'll leave the job of finding someone to you, Lao Xue." Wang Dong became cheerful again, and finally told Xue Chen that his father had sent a construction team to build a house in Liushu Village, and construction had already begun.
.
"That's really troublesome for Uncle Wang. Dongzi, please say thank you to Uncle Wang and me."
"Thank you, aren't you just slapping me in the face? I'm done."
After hanging up the phone, Xue Chen was driving while thinking about where to find a suitable person to run the branch. This person must be capable and trustworthy. For a while, he couldn't think of one.
Good candidate.
In the past two days, the villagers of Liushu Village have seen a novel thing. Xue Hongfa in the village wants to build a new house. It is very common to build new houses. It is enough to find a few masons from the town and a few helpers from the village.
Yes, but Xue Hongfa's construction team came from Haicheng City, which is more than a hundred miles away. The construction team of twenty people also drove several mechanical vehicles, and the scene was very big.
The villagers who had something to say went up to ask the people from the construction team. When they learned that Xue Hongfa's family was going to build a three-story villa, the whole village was shocked. Among the seven or eight villages with a radius of more than ten miles, the best one was a two-story villa.
It's a building, and it's the first time I've heard that a villa is going to be built.
Xue Hongfa and his wife Luo Huijuan knew that their son had hired the construction team, but they panicked when they heard that they were going to build a villa. They found the foreman of the construction team and asked what kind of house they were going to build.
The captain of the construction team showed the drawings to the two elders in his hand and started explaining while pointing at the drawings.
"The whole villa is in a garden style, but the main three-story villa is mixed with Baroque and Chinese architectural styles, which is more beautiful and more suitable for your two elders to live in. Here is a garage, and here is a set of fitness equipment for the elderly.
, here is a flower bed..."
The second elder became even more confused as he listened to the introductions everywhere. He only had one thought in his mind: how much would it cost to build so many things.
The captain of the construction team is from Wang Tianhai's construction company, and he has a good relationship with Wang Tianhai. Before departure, Wang Tianhai specifically told him that the villa he built was hired by a very big person, so he must build the house.
It's beautiful, but not all material fees, engineering fees and a series of expenses are also borne by the company, do not accept payment from anyone.
Hearing that the two elders were concerned about the price, they told them that there was no need to spend money.
Villagers passing by every day would stop, point at the Xue family's extensive construction work, and start talking privately.
Soon, the villagers also learned from Xue Zhenfen that Xue Hongfa's son, Xue Chen, had become a big leader in a large company in Haicheng City and had made a lot of money. They were not only envious but also envious.
Suddenly, the number of relatives and friends who came to visit suddenly increased. Even distant relatives who had not been in contact for several years came to visit Xue Hongfa and Luo Huijuan, carrying fruits and cans.
When Xue Hongfa's family built a house, uncle Xue Chen, his fourth uncle, and relatives from the same village, such as Xu Deji, naturally rushed over to help. Xu Deji, in particular, worked very hard and was not lazy at all.
When Xue Hongxi saw this scene, he said with a sullen face: "Deji, you are not kind. When my uncle's house was renovated, I asked you to help you, but you resisted. Why are you working so hard now for your second uncle's house?"
Xu Deji put down the work in his hands, scratched his head, and smiled: "Uncle, look what you said, your house is just a simple decoration, not much work, but Brother Chen's family is building a villa again, there is a lot of work,
Naturally, I have to help."
Hearing what Xu Deji said, Xue Hongxi felt a little unhappy. How could he not know that it was because when Sanmei's family bought a car, Xue Chen's friend not only gave him a huge discount, but Xue Chen also gave him 30,000 yuan as compensation.
The difference in money.
"Hey, your old Xue family member Xiaochen is the most promising. He started a family in the city, and even built a small villa for his parents in his hometown. He is really capable." Xue Hongfa's neighbor looked at him enviously across the fence.
Xue Hongxi said.
Xue Hongxi remained silent, did not reply, and turned around to go home.
After returning home, Xue Hongxi sat on a chair, feeling awkward. After thinking about it, he called his son Xue Chao and talked about Xue Chen's family building a villa.
"Since your second grandpa's family moved to Yang'an City, your third uncle has not been in contact with each other for several years. He drove back once the day before yesterday, but guess what? He went to your second uncle's house and didn't even stop at our door. Now,
People."
Xue Hongxi sighed, feeling sulky when he thought of this incident.
Xue Chao felt unhappy as he listened to his father's nagging on the phone: "Dad, don't be angry. They just want to see Xiaochen making money. After a while, our family will build a new house."
"Son, don't waste that money. It's not easy for you to make money, and you still have to pay off your mortgage." Xue Hongxi said.
"Dad, don't worry about it. Money is not a problem. This matter is settled. We will talk about it when I have time to go home." After Xue Chao hung up the phone, he looked at a batch of purchase orders on the table in front of him, and his eyes moved.
