Volume 1 The Year of Hair Bundle Chapter 92 A lot of helplessness
Of course, there are many heroes in Baicheng City, and Lu Guoping is the only entrepreneur who can do this, and the city government will definitely not reward her so much for this alone.
In addition to being a large taxpayer, Lu Guoping has also been a moral model for the city's law-abiding. At the same time, she has always been a leader in fulfilling her social responsibilities, and Lu Guoping's financial support can often be seen in the construction of many homeless resettlement sites in the city, the establishment of orphanages, and even the protection and restoration of cultural relics in Baicheng.
It is said that character determines fate, Lu Guoping was born to be left and right, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and the relationship with the city leaders has always been good. The friendship has accumulated more and more, and finally last year, the municipal government gave her a Hongqi L9, which can be regarded as an affirmation and gratitude for her contribution to the healthy development of Baicheng City over the years.
This car looks really luxurious, and the paint on the body has been properly maintained, it looks like new, Chen Jie glanced at Wu Hanfan, and said in his heart that Uncle Wu usually works this car.
In contrast, Wu Hanfan's previous vehicles were not so attentive. Chen Jie understood that there must be a reason why Wu Hanfan liked it so much, so he asked: "This is the Hongqi L9 that money can't buy?" β
This question can be regarded as asking the root of the problem - you can't buy it even if you have money, this is the fundamental reason why Wu Hanfan likes this car, after all, scarcity is expensive.
I only heard Wu Hanfan smile and replied: "Yes, it turns out that you know." If it weren't for the fact that this matter was led by the municipal government, in fact, it would be a bit difficult to apply for this car just as Mr. Lu. It is one thing that scarce things are expensive, and it is also a reason to take advantage of them. β
Yes, and the boss's son wants to be called "you", and the drama of the wealthy family did not happen to Chen Jie.
However, Wu Hanfan's title was also after some ideological struggle.
When the two met for the first time, Chen Jie was still a junior high school student, so it was actually good to call him by his name, but after all, Lu Guoping's relationship was there, and Wu Hanfan always had concerns in his heart, so when they met for the first time, he didn't dare to call Chen Jie's name directly.
So what should it be called?
Called Mr. Chen? Wu Hanfan felt that it was inappropriate, firstly, Chen Jie was too young, and secondly, he was not a person in the company, so it was inappropriate to call him so.
Called the young master? It's not suitable, after all, he is a company driver, not Lu Guoping's personal housekeeper, and besides, what age is this, and it is no longer fashionable to call the employer's son a young master.
After holding back for a long time, Wu Hanfan came up with a title of "young president".
Chen Jie, who has been low-key in Fancheng for many years, heard this title for the first time, and he was embarrassed, and said that it was enough for Chen Guogang to call himself a young master, and you have an extra young master here......
And Chen Guogang called himself the young master, it was a joke, it was often a backword, and it was usually a foreshadowing of wanting to suppress the first.
Once the word young master is exported, it will either be sarcastic or ideologically educated. So after a long time, as soon as Chen Jie heard Chen Guogang call himself young master, he knew that there was nothing good in the future.
But Wu Hanfan, the young man, is too formal, right?!
Chen Jie's positioning for himself has always been that of the ordinary people, so that you call it like a privileged class, but you don't actually have a name first, how wronged would it be if someone beat a local tyrant? !
Chen Jie is used to keeping a low profile and doesn't like this title, so he doesn't accept this name at all.
As soon as the title of Mr. Shao came out, Chen Jie asked Wu Hanfan to call him by his name, he felt that even if you work for my mother, I don't have a job now, and the second is a junior, you can just call your name directly, there is no need to be so twisting and turning.
But how did Chen Jie know the helplessness that Wu Hanfan was facing?
Wu Hanfan is in a first-tier city, and he has just reached middle age, at that time, he had just bought a house, his child had just been born, and he asked for money for a mortgage, right? Milk powder costs money, right? In the future, children will need money to go to school, right? The vanity of the wife asks for money, right? Parents' health costs money, right?
Lu Guoping's salary for him is much higher than that of his peers, Wu Hanfan feels that as long as he can serve Chen Jie well, his job will be guaranteed, and maybe Mr. Lu is happy, and it is possible to increase his salary.
So don't talk about Mr. Shao, if it weren't for the fact that the sycophant smell was too strong, he would directly call Chen Jie's ancestors happy!
Although Chen Jie asked him to call him by his name, Wu Hanfan had too many concerns, so he couldn't call him out. In the end, after discounting, it becomes "you", and sometimes even "you" is omitted, and it simply becomes a praying question.
Chen Jie saw that he couldn't let go of him so much, so he let him go. Wu Hanfan had a request in his heart, so he invisibly lowered Chen Jie's head. This is just like Jiang Dahai has a request for Chen Guogang, so he always has to be polite to Chen Guogang.
However, in contrast, Jiang Dahai has a lot of natural needs, because he is in a third-tier city, there are no expenses and high prices waiting for him, even if the stock is lost, it is a big deal to go back to open a lease, he has the most basic sense of security.
And Wu Hanfan is different, Lu Guoping and he are in a master-employment relationship, and the livelihood of the family depends on the former's face, so in the face of Chen Jie, he lacks the most basic sense of security, even if he is a man.
Therefore, Wu Hanfan must be professional enough, in first-tier cities, any flaw may cause unemployment, and the chain reaction after unemployment is something that Wu Hanfan cannot afford.
And Wu Hanfan's professionalism also formed a natural distance between him and Chen Jie, making it difficult for Chen Jie to treat him as a friend.
However, in terms of work attitude and ability, Chen Jie also recognized him, was on call, hard-working, and for this reason, Chen Jie praised him in front of Lu Guoping.
As soon as he heard that Wu Hanfan still used "you", Chen Jie had no choice but to smile helplessly.
However, now he understands Wu Hanfan's helplessness and the taste of mid-life crisis, although Chen Jie didn't understand it before, but Lu Guoping understands it.
The first time Chen Jie came to Baicheng, he chatted with Lu Guoping about this little episode, and after Lu Guoping's explanation, he understood the source of Wu Hanfan's concerns, and he no longer forced him.
Lu Guoping's mother's role is a bit poor, but the boss is doing a good job, she doesn't understand her son's thoughts, and she feels the thoughts of employees very clearly, after all, time is not spent in vain.
Chen Jie looked at the L9 and felt that the design of this car was too retro, and the masculinity was a bit heavy, which was actually not suitable for women, so he muttered: "If I want my mother to buy the car herself, I don't think she will choose this style." β
Wu Hanfan replied with a smile: "Actually, Mr. Lu complained in private, saying that the style of this car is too masculine and not suitable for her." But who said that this was the intention of the city government? Even if Mr. Lu doesn't like it, he has to laugh at it, right? β
Chen Jingxin said that since it is the official expression of his heart, it is harmless for his mother to sit, but there is no need to use such a symbolic car to pick him up, right?
This car was originally very public, and now there are already people pointing around the parking lot, once Chen Jie sits in, let people take pictures and post them on the Internet, and then he is touched by a group of good deeds, and finally related to Lu Guoping, then he is easy to be deducted by others as a privileged class persona.
Because Chen Jie has recently gradually accepted the concept of the opposite of things and the dialectical unity, he now dislikes others to label him and set up people.
Just as the only certain thing in a person's life is death, the only outcome of a person's life is collapse. Not to mention that he won't accept the character of the privileged class, he doesn't even need the character of a good child or a little adult!
No matter what kind of persona you are, once you stand up, you must maintain it, and you will inevitably be constrained in doing things.
For example, if one day Chen Jie was ready to clean up Ma Tianlai on a whim, but he was set up by the people around him, saying that you were not good enough, saying that you were naΓ―ve, and even deducting the hat of a privileged class bully, then Chen Jie couldn't stand it.
Chen Jie doesn't need to use his personality to circle fans like an idol star, and his personality is not good for him except for his burden, so why does he want to get on this thief ship? Do you still have to carry this psychological baggage?
Chen Jie also wants to live a simpler life, but in this era, people's hearts are indeed too complicated, if you don't think so, it doesn't mean that others won't think so, and Chen Jie's style of doing things has always been to prepare for the worst.
Although the online violence at that time was not as serious as it is today, the trend was such that Chen Jie could already smell the smell at that time. And Chen Jie likes freedom and enjoys freedom, he just wants to live an ordinary life in a low-key manner like ordinary people.
Does this kind of thinking sound familiar?
Is it particularly like the feeling that Feng Shinan felt when she didn't want others to know about her father's position? It's just like, it's the same!
So why can Chen Jie understand Feng Shinan very well? At the end of the day, the two of them are the same kind of people.
Because of this, when Chen Jie first met Feng Shinan, he felt that she was a girl, if it was a boy, the relationship between the two would probably be Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi. But who made her a girl? So the question is a bit more nuanced and complicated.
The so-called think twice before acting, thanks to Chen Guogang's blessing, Chen Jie has lived with the people since he was a child, and he knows too well the little ninety-nine in the hearts of the people, so he is naturally not the kind of person who "why not eat minced meat".
Although this Hongqi L9 is parked in front of Chen Jie now, even if he is curious, even if he is eager to try, Chen Jie's rationality tells him that he can't get on this car today.
These inconveniences Chen Jie can think of, can't Lu Guoping think of it?
In fact, Lu Guoping also had concerns when she sent the car, but she always felt that Chen Jie had been growing up for many years, and she felt guilty that she couldn't be by her side as a mother, and she couldn't make up for it mentally, so she could only give it materially, so no matter what Lu Guoping gave, she must give the best, including sending the car.
In fact, Lu Guoping's mentality is the epitome of many parents in China today, but didn't Lu Guoping see that although you give Chen Jie the best, Chen Jie doesn't need it at all?!
Not only is it not necessary, but it is often counterproductive to the growth of Chen Jie, if it weren't for Chen Guogang to mention Chen Jie from time to time, your son would have been led astray by you. If Lu Guoping really wants to play a positive role in Chen Jie's growth, do you dare to spend more time on her family? Can you just talk about money when you don't have trouble?!
Although Lu Guoping has a large group of people to raise, it is really unrealistic to let go of it, but it is always okay to take a little effort to understand Chen Jie's temperament, right?
But Lu Guoping is engaged in international trade, and she has a lot of Western-style concepts in her mind, how can she know what her ancestors mean by teaching them according to their aptitude.
She doesn't even have the concept of temperament, so how can she start with temperament? Not to mention that Lu Guoping is gone, even many Chinese who claim to be traditional do not have this concept.
Role dislocation, cultural disconnects, midlife crisis...... Alas! Why is there so much helplessness in this era?
