After dinner, Tian Zhen piled down the bowls and chopsticks and left. However, old lady Zhou Xiaojiao had watched Cao Mo since she was a child and liked him very much. She even said to Cao Mo in a flattering manner: "A Zhen is a high-spirited girl. I introduced her to my family before."
Neither of the two boys set their sights on her - she was almost twenty-five years old when she returned to China after graduation, and after a slight delay, she would be in her thirties. Of course, Amo, don't think it's bad that A-Zhen is two or three years older than you.
If the girl is older, you have to be able to subdue her. She knows how to be considerate. And the old woman lives longer than the old man. If the girl is a little older, that’s just right!"
"Grandma, I just like people who are older than me." Cao Mo washed all the pots and dishes, took off his apron, and said to please old lady Zhou Xiaojiao.
"Your house is going to be rented out. What if you also live in my house? Grandma Littlefoot won't charge you rent." Old Mrs. Littlefoot Zhou said, looking like she hated her granddaughter for not being able to get married, and now she wanted to repay the rent.
"Tian Zhen will think that my education is low." Cao Mo said with a smile.
"What's the point of having low education? It's enough if one of you in the house is capable and can make money. Your grandma said it well, if both of them are capable and make money outside, who will take care of the house and wash the pots and pans for whom?
What about a pot or something? Why don’t you go to pieces? Tian Zhen is not very sensible yet, but she will understand soon." Old lady Zhou Xiaojiao said.
Cao Mo had just wiped his hands when he heard Jiaying calling him upstairs, so he walked upstairs and pushed open the room where Jiaying and grandma lived.
Old Mrs. Zhou Xiaojiao also gave them the largest room to live in, but with an old-style wardrobe, an old desk, and two single beds in it, there was not much space.
"Don't listen to grandma and grandma with little feet talking nonsense. Tian Zhen had a boyfriend before. I heard that he was cheated on by others, so he went to study abroad in anger..." Jiaying complained mysteriously.
"What kind of brain do you have? You can even have a boyfriend and remarry after getting divorced. What's wrong with having a boyfriend? I don't have any objection. What's your objection?" Cao Mo couldn't help but hit his sister on the head.
"I have an objection. Didn't you see her looking down on others just now?" Jiaying said.
"Okay, okay, your brother is not that picky, so you don't need to worry about it - why did you call me up?" Cao Mo asked.
"This is your salary card. I took out all the money in it and deposited it on a regular basis. The interest is much higher than the current deposit..." Jiaying handed over a bank card and a passbook.
Cao Mo took the passbook and opened it and took a look. When he saw that there was a deposit of 500,000 yuan on it, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
The wages paid by Dongsheng to overseas employees are directly deposited into domestic bank cards.
Cao Mo left his salary card in Jiaying's hand, and asked Jiaying to exchange dollars from the bank for whatever money he needed in Draculamore.
When he goes to the Draculamore branch, he will be paid a living allowance of one hundred US dollars every month. In addition to the three years' salary, overseas allowances, etc., the total total is about 400,000.
He asked Jiaying to remit 12,000 U.S. dollars to him one after another, and the remaining 300,000 U.S. dollars were kept by Jiaying's side so that the family could spend all their budgets from it. However, he did not expect that after three years of absence, this amount of money would be spent.
Not a cent was lost, and an extra two hundred thousand was offered.
Cao Mo reached out and rubbed Jiaying's head, handed her the bankbook, and said, "This money belongs to you. Don't hold on to the door like that in the future. I even got scolded for being stupid..."
"No, I think you should buy a house quickly - although it is said everywhere that housing prices have risen, the country will not just ignore it, and there are many demolished houses, housing prices will definitely come down, but I think, housing prices
It is unlikely to be reduced," Jiaying said. "There is another thing. Xinhai girls are very picky. They must have a house when they get married. They will not agree to be crowded with the groom's parents after marriage. Even if they are not picky, they are being punished.
Pick the rest. With this 500,000 down payment, you can apply for a bank loan and now you can buy a nice house near the Second Ring Road. If the housing prices continue to rise..."
"How old are you? Why are you thinking about so many things in your head?" Cao Mo was a little soft-hearted and wanted to tell him about his decision to take over the house in Tianzifang. After hesitating for a long time, he said cruelly, "You can already make money.
How can I be worse than you? I have other income in Kanem, and I can afford to buy a house. You can keep this money for yourself... By the way, didn't you say that you have been teasing me to pursue Chengxi? Why do you think Chengxi is the same?
Does Xi care about this, or do you feel in your heart that your brother has no chance at all?"
"Of course you are the best in my mind, but people have to consider some reality." Jiaying said with a guilty conscience.
"Go!" Cao Mo knocked Jiaying's hair.

Kanem is seven hours later than in China. Cao Mo wakes up at seven o'clock, while Kanem wakes up at fourteen o'clock in the afternoon.
He first communicated with Kabuga, Lucy, Abacha, and Wendy Scarf about work matters. Ibogu connected the communication cable, but the communication speed was really amazing. The video conferencing that was just becoming popular was not necessary.
Yes, it's already past eight o'clock when I put down an international long-distance call.
At this time, when he heard Yu Jing who was sharing the door with him, Chen Chang opened the door and came out.
They are currently at the counter of Yinguang Plaza. They just have to report to the mall before 9:30. As for the other two couple tenants, Cao Mo didn't hear them coming back before going to bed last night. At about 7 o'clock, he heard someone downstairs.
There was the sound of people moving around. They went out before eight o'clock, and they didn't even have a chance to meet each other.
I didn't feel anything in the house, so I opened the window to let some air in, and found that the temperature had dropped last night.
Cao Mo, who has long been accustomed to the hot summer in Kanem, did not bring any clothes back to Xinhai. When he got off the plane yesterday, in addition to jeans and a T-shirt, he only wore a sweatshirt with a pocket - all the clothes in Xinhai were sold by Jiaying
I packed it up and took it to old lady Zhou Xiaojiao.
With no choice, Cao Mo could only tremble and wear a sweater as usual and go out to wash up. He thought about taking Song Yuqing shopping in the afternoon and adding some outfits.
"Aren't you on vacation and you got up so early?" Chen Chang went downstairs carrying the washbasin and filling it with toiletries. When he saw Cao Mo holding a toothbrush bowl in his hand, he asked curiously.
"When I return to China for vacation, I have to report to the company first," Cao Mo asked, "By the way, do you know where Dongsheng Building is?"
Cao Mo knew that the headquarters building was near Tianzifang, but the headquarters building had not been renovated before he went abroad. He had no chance to go there, and he forgot to ask Jiaying yesterday.
"Dongsheng Building is right behind our shopping mall. If you invite us to have breakfast, we will take you there!" Chen Chang said.
"Okay, let's go out together later!" Cao Mo said.
Chen Chang always had to come with some conditions when doing things for others. Cao Mo couldn't care less about buying a chicken tripe for breakfast, but thinking about having him buy every meal during a month's vacation in China, of course that was impossible.

Yinguang Plaza and Dongsheng Building are very close to Xikang Street. It is less than three kilometers away through several blocks. It is not convenient to take bus or subway. Both girls have bicycles, and it does not take ten minutes to ride there leisurely.
minute.
More than half an hour had passed since Yu Jing and Chen Chang had finished packing. There was a breakfast restaurant near his house. The three of them gulped down two plates of fried dumplings and three bowls of millet porridge and set out on the road.
Chen Chang felt a little disgusted with Cao Mo. He pushed her bicycle and said it was too small and Cao Mo was too big. Fortunately, Yu Jing was generous and let Cao Mo ride her bicycle. She sat on the rear frame and held her hand.
He grabbed Cao Mo's clothes.
Yu Jing has a very close relationship with Cheng Xi University's four-year dormitory. She met Cao Mo four years ago, and she doesn't feel unfamiliar to Cao Mo. We are both urban men and women, and there is not much left of the embarrassment of yesterday's honest meeting.
There are traces.
When he arrived at Yinguang Square, he threw his bicycle to the two girls, and Cao Mo walked to Dongsheng Building.
The thirty-two-story Grade A office building was no longer very conspicuous in Xinhai at this time.
It is usually said that Dongsheng Group has a market value of tens of billions, and that the founder Ding Xuesheng’s family’s equity and other assets in listed and unlisted companies may total one billion U.S. dollars, which sounds like a number.
However, when I actually stood in front of Dongsheng Building, looking at the urban men and women going in and out, it felt very uncomfortable to think that there was a person or a family standing above the heads of these urban men and women for others to praise and look up to.
Same.
If it wasn't for Cao Mo's style, he would have thought about building an office building in Xinhai in the future.
Of course, most of the floors of the 32-story Dongsheng Building are rented out to other companies, offices and other institutions. Dongsheng headquarters and the directly affiliated institutions of the four major business divisions occupy the top eight floors of the building.
, covering an area of nearly 20,000 square meters.
There may be less than 600 employees in the headquarters, and the office area per person is nearly 30 square meters, which is really a luxury!
As soon as Cao Mo entered the lobby from the main entrance, he felt a little dissatisfied when he saw the turnstiles blocking the elevator on both sides of the front desk.
He originally calculated the time to go to the business hall to apply for a mobile phone card, but he didn't expect that it would take more than half an hour for the two girls to wash up and dress up - but now, he has neither a domestic mobile phone card to contact Song Yuqing nor a pass to pass the gate.
Go in and take the elevator.
"Hey, which unit are you looking for?" Seeing Cao Mo hesitating to turn over in front of the turnstile, the security guard in red uniform at the lobby door ran over vigilantly, staring at him and asking.
"I am an employee of Dongsheng Overseas Department. I just returned to China for vacation. I reported to the company today and I haven't applied for a domestic work permit yet!" Cao Mo said.
"Who is your supervisor? Give him a call to confirm." The building's property management company is also affiliated with Dongsheng Group. The security guard softened his tone, but still watched Cao Mo's phone call with vigilance.
"I just returned to China yesterday, and I haven't got a domestic mobile phone yet..." Cao Mo said awkwardly.
"Don't have a domestic mobile phone card? Follow me to the front desk." The security guard was very suspicious. Who would not have a domestic mobile phone card at this time?
He motioned for Cao Mo to follow him to the front desk, and said to two girls sitting inside who looked as good as Yu Jing and Chen Chang:
"This person says she is from overseas. She has just returned to China for vacation and does not have a mobile phone. Zhang Li, please help her contact her!"
"The overseas department doesn't have a mobile phone?" The two girls also looked at Cao Mo, who was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, with surprise. It was hard to imagine that overseas employees, whose wages were two or three times higher than those at home, didn't have mobile phones.
"There are no mobile phone cards in China." Cao Mo estimated that the two girls were probably used to seeing colleagues in suits and leather jackets working in overseas European and American offices. He corrected the security guard, pointed to the landline phone at the front desk, and asked humbly:
"I'm Cao Mo, West Africa Branch of the Overseas Investment Division - two sisters, lend me a call and treat you to dinner at noon..."
"Do you know Manager Song of the West Africa Branch?" The two girls still didn't believe it and asked.
"Song Yuqing, we know each other, we know each other - we have a good relationship with me," Cao Mo said.
The two girls couldn't imagine how good the relationship between the overseas goddess-level Song Yuqing and the guy in front of them could be.
The girl named Zhang Li picked up the landline phone, opened a brochure, and looked for the internal contact number of the Overseas Department while staring at Cao Mo warily.
She can't imagine not having a mobile phone or a domestic mobile phone card.
If he wasn't quite handsome and didn't look like a liar, she wouldn't be willing to call him.
Seeing that the girl at the front desk was struggling for a long time without finding the contact number of the Overseas Department, Cao Mo saw Tian Zhen in a brown uniform walking into the lobby with a group of people from the outside, and shouted: "Tian Zhen!"
He waved to the two girls at the front desk and said, "That's Tian Zhen from the headquarters. She's my neighbor. I'll mix in with her. Thank you - I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free..."
Seeing Cao Mo approaching, Tian Zhen smiled reluctantly. When he saw Cao Mo sneaking past the turnstile behind him, he couldn't say he ignored him completely. He asked him in a low voice: "Why did you come to the company to report? Now you are here."
what time is it……"
"I was delayed for a while this morning." Cao Mo thought to himself that he was on vacation. He was going to report to the overseas department today. He didn't have any work commitments, so he still had to work nine to five?
He doesn't have to work nine to five in the West African branch. Showing up once a week will give Yang Deshan a lot of face, okay?
Everyone else just glanced at Cao Mo indifferently, and no one asked Tian Zhen who the dirty-dressed young man in front of him was.
The elevator door opened, and a group of people walked into the spacious elevator. Just as Cao Mo was about to walk in, a person stopped him with his hand and said, "Get in the next elevator."
"Why, it's not overloaded?" Cao Mo looked like "Who are you?" He just put a toothpick in his mouth, looked at the man for a few times, and saw that he was no more than two or three years older than himself, so he directly picked him up.
Pushing his hand away, he squeezed into the elevator...
