Chapter 39: The First Quarrel
The personnel director of Zoomlion Zhihang is not as polite as Chen Sui, after he finished talking about business, he hung up the phone, without too much explanation, anyway, the leader asked him to do it, he only needs to finish what he should do.
Lu Mingqiao also heard the content on the phone, and she looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously, but Jiang Chen's expression was the same as hers, and she was also very puzzled.
"What's going on with these big units?" Lu Mingqiao said, in the end, the big unit is too capricious, after all, the more bullish the company, the more initiative. Or is Jiang Chen's self-examination academic qualifications not suitable for the current recruitment needs, or is this unlucky guy in the world too unlucky, and he really caught up with that project and didn't do it?
Jiang Chen already clearly felt that something was wrong, the problem between Zhimei and Zoomlion Zhihang was too sudden, as if it was suddenly aimed at him.
"Sister, I'll make a call."
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he went to the end of the corridor and called Professor Qin.
Professor Qin received a call from Jiang Chen, and he didn't seem to know that he had left Zhimei, so he also asked, "How about Xiaochen, are you still used to working in Zhimei?" β
"Professor, I would like to ask you, when you introduced me to Director Chen Sui at that time, did you tell him that I had a self-examination degree?"
"I said it, but your highest education is a graduate student, not an undergraduate, whether it is a self-examination or a full-time exam, it doesn't affect anything, is there anything wrong?"
"I'm no longer at Zhimei, and Director Chen Sui said that my education doesn't match Zhimei."
"You wait, I'll ask Chen Sui." When Professor Qin heard this, he felt that something was wrong, so he called Chen Sui.
Chen Sui's rhetoric was basically the same as what he said to Jiang Chen that day, and he also told Professor Qin the truth about the situation that day, and he really didn't know why the boss didn't let Jiang Chen be used.
After listening to the ins and outs, Professor Qin had an answer in his heart, but he was not very sure.
"Xiaochen, I'll introduce you to individual jobs again, do you want to try it again?" Professor Qin discussed.
"I submitted my resume to Zoomlion yesterday and passed their interview today, but just now they called me and said that the project of the department I applied for was stopped, so I don't plan to recruit people, professor, I think something is wrong."
Professor Qin was silent for half a minute, and then said, "Otherwise, you ask the family?" β
"It's just that I'm speculating, I think you should go and talk to your family, Chen Sui said that he suddenly received a notice from above, and he didn't tell him the specific reason, the person who can talk to Zhimei may be no one else except your father."
As soon as Professor Qin said this, Jiang Chen suddenly understood that the Jiang family did not threaten him with the old lady, but instead sabotaged his work to force him to comply, no accident, no matter what company he found in the future, it is estimated that he will not be used.
Jiang Chen clenched his fists and smashed against the wall next to the window, why did he have such a complicated background?
He would rather be destitute and poor than have anything to do with that family.
Jiang Chen suppressed his emotions, and Lu Mingqiao was still waiting for him in the corridor.
"Sister, it's late today, I'll send you back."
"Huh?"
"Have you asked what is going on with Zoomlion?" Lu Mingqiao asked.
"I asked clearly, I got rid of what Professor Qin asked, it was indeed like that, the project was stopped." Jiang Chen didn't tell Lu Mingqiao the real reason.
"It's okay, you can look for something else." Lu Mingqiao comforted.
"Otherwise, I'll contact people I know and see if they need people in their company."
"No need, let me figure it out myself." Jiang Chen said.
"Okay, don't send me, I'll call a car to go back by myself, and I'll give you information when I arrive, don't be frustrated, it's not a big deal."
Lu Mingqiao could see that Jiang Chen was in a very low mood, and she wanted to leave him some free time so that he could sort out his mood.
Jiang Chen sent Lu Mingqiao out of the hospital, and the two walked side by side.
It seems that after the New Year, the weather becomes warmer, at this time, the moon is shining in the sky, the cold in the air has long been unconsciously withdrawn, there is a little sign of warmth, everything is ready to go.
Spring is really coming.
Tomorrow morning, I guess the sun should be fine.
"Cheer up." Before Lu Mingqiao got into the car, he patted Jiang Chen's next door.
Jiang Chen nodded and watched the car leave.
After Lu Mingqiao left, Jiang Chen called Jiang Zhili.
"Come out, let's talk, I'll wait for you at the gate of the Deep Water Pool Hospital."
After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Jiang Zhili agreed or not, he hung up the phone.
There is a row of 24-hour restaurants in front of the hospital that sell fast food and the like.
Jiang Chen sat in a small noodle shop waiting for Jiang Zhili.
After about ten minutes, Jiang Zhili's car drove up and stopped outside the shop.
"Xiaochen, are you sick? What's uncomfortable? β
Jiang Zhili thought that Jiang Chen was sick, so he asked him to be at the door of the hospital, and he hurried over.
"I'm not sick, I ordered you a bowl of noodles, eat it." Jiang Chen pushed the noodles in front of Jiang Zhili.
"What are you?" Jiang Zhili didn't know why.
"Thank you for taking care of me these days."
Jiang Zhili was stunned and said, "You know." β
"What the hell can you do to let me go? Except not going back to that home. Jiang Chen asked.
"That's your home, how can you not go back?"
"I didn't live there, and neither did my mom."
"That's why I'm going back!"
"The Jiang family won't have anything to lose because I don't go back, and I'm far from being so good enough to take over the industries you are responsible for in the Jiang family."
"You can learn." Jiang Zhili's attitude was very resolute.
"You don't have to talk about it, do you?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Xiaochen, don't be willful, going back is only good for you, there is no harm, what's good for you to live a life of suffocation like now?"
"Good and bad are not determined by your standards."
"So what are you looking for a job for? Isn't it because you don't have enough money? As long as you come back, the money, the house, and the old lady, I will take care of it, and you won't be running around for it anymore. β
"Then you go and ask my mother, has she forgiven you, if she forgives you, I will go back with you, you can't repay your grievances with her, and you still have to interfere in my life now, don't you feel a bad conscience at all?" Jiang Chen asked expressionlessly.
"I'm sorry for your mother's death, but I can't be resurrected from death, and I'm destined to owe her, but I'm not interfering with you now, I'm asking you to come back and do what you have to do."
Even though he owes a lifelong love debt, his heart is full of regret and dull pain when he thinks about it, but Jiang Zhili is a businessman and a businessman, he has worked hard for most of his life, and he can't give up his family property to others because of his eldest son's leukemia, the eldest son can't do it, doesn't there be a younger son? There will always be a way to get him back.
"That's a big deal, I won't look for a job in the future, anyway, I was born at the bottom, and I'm not afraid of living a poor life." Jiang Chen got up, didn't talk to Jiang Zhili anymore, and left the noodle shop.
At night, his back was thin and lonely, but with his inherent stubbornness.
"Jiang Dong, little master, does he still refuse to come back?" The assistant saw Jiang Chen come out, but Jiang Zhili sat in the store for a long time and did not move.
"Pack up the noodles and we'll go back." Jiang Zhili said.
Jiang Zhili returned home with noodles and said to the servant: "Warm this noodles." β
His wife, Luo Lan, dressed in a lilac silk nightgown, walked down from the second floor and asked, "What are you doing when you go out so late?" β
"Do I need to keep you informed of what I do?"
"Since you know that there is Jiang Chen's son, you have slept in a separate room with me, and you don't bother to say a word to me all day long, Jiang Zhili, have I been sorry for you for so many years?"
"I don't have much to communicate with you, and it's not a day or two."
"But when Hua Ming was fine, you weren't like this. Could it be that you can't see that Hua Ming can't do it, just as you wish, and support you and that woman's children to get on top? β
"Enough!" Jiang Zhili stopped Luo Lan and said, "That woman has a name, and Jiang Chen is also my son!" I haven't asked you how Xiaoyun left me back then, and I don't hold you responsible, it's just for Hua Ming's sake, don't be unreasonable and unreasonable! β
"Sir, your face is warm." The maid carries the hot noodles and places them on the table.
"Okay, you want to say that back then, I was alone back then, did I have so much power? You go and ask Mom, she doesn't approve of you being with that woman either! Although she forced Li Xiaoyun to leave back then, she also participated, but she couldn't be counted alone.
"What's the use of saying that now? People are dead. β
Luo Lan hated it very much in her heart, she and Jiang Zhili have been husband and wife for more than 20 years, they have always been inseparable, the two of them are suitable for business marriage, she thinks that after a long time, people will always have feelings, who knows, over the years, Jiang Zhili has no love for her, she has a grudge against Jiang Zhili, but if she lives like this for the rest of her life, it will be okay, and she will be fine, but now, her son has leukemia again.
Before getting leukemia, Jiang Zhili's branch is very promising to inherit most of the Jiang family's property, Jiang Zhili has always been very good, responsible for the development of the Yanjing courtyard series, originally took Hua Ming to train him well, and he will have peace of mind in the future, who would have thought that God would not follow people's wishes, so that Hua Ming had this disease.
Looking for Jiang Chen to come back, Luo Lan can't stop it, this is related to the distribution of property in the future, she and Jiang Zhili only have a son and a daughter, and now even the son is gone, Old Man Jiang will definitely redistribute assets.
She knew that Jiang Zhili's purpose for Jiang Chen to come back was partly to keep the assets from falling on the two brothers, but a bigger part was because he was obsessed with Li Xiaoyun's feelings, so whether Jiang Chen was willing to come back or not, whether he was suitable for managing the family business in the future, he would definitely pour all his efforts into Jiang Chen.
And what did she Luo Lan get? Is the bamboo basket empty?
**
Jiang Chen was in the hospital, looking at the hospitalization list for the past two days, and still owed Lu Mingqiao the money he asked for a nurse, and then looked at the balance of his bank card, he had to go out to make some money first.
The Jiang family is putting pressure on him, and he has little confidence in finding a job.
"Xiaochen, haven't you found a job? Did you take a leave of absence? You don't have to accompany me in the hospital, go to work, here is your eldest sister Liu to accompany me, you go and do your job. β
The old lady saw that Jiang Chen didn't go out to work for a day, just stayed in the hospital, and thought that he had taken leave.
"Okay." Jiang Chen got up, approved his coat, and drove a small truck to MG to sell alcohol.
After the New Year, there are also a lot of people in the bar, especially when the weather is getting warmer, and people like to run outside.
Shen Yunfei fiddled with his guitar, and now that the bar was not yet occupied, he saw Jiang Chen coming.
"Dude, aren't you going to be an elite? How can you still have time to push the drinks? So desperate to make money? β
Shen Yunfei thought that he had come over to work part-time after work.
"It didn't work out."
"What's wrong? Is something wrong? β
"The Jiang family sabotaged it, and in order to force me to go back, whichever company I went to refused to accept me."
Shen Yunfei also heard Jiang Chen mention some of his family affairs, although he didn't know much, but one thing was clear, that is, Jiang Chen had a very rich father.
"Otherwise, go back, you are his own son, can he still treat you badly if you go back? Maybe after you go back, you will have a house, a car, and a job, won't you be able to marry Lu Mingqiao at that time? β
"I'm going back, how can I marry her when the time comes? Isn't my mom a living example? Thinking of his mother, Jiang Chen is even more unlikely to go back, he and Lu Mingqiao have already started, and he must not let her down.
"He just wants to control me so as to stabilize his position in the Jiang family, I am a tool to him."
"Then does Lu Mingqiao know about these things?"
"I haven't figured out how to tell her, if I keep going like this, I'm afraid she will suffer with me." If the Jiang family keeps putting pressure on her, and it reaches an uncontrollable situation, what will he do to protect her.
"It's okay brother, if you don't have enough money to marry Lu Mingqiao, I'll borrow you." Shen Yunfei assured.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, Lu Mingqiao went to Shenshuitan Hospital after working overtime, Jiang Chen was not in the hospital, and the old lady said that he went to work.
Lu Mingqiao still wondered, he found a job again so soon?
Looking at the time, Lu Mingqiao called Jiang Chen.
"Brother, have you found a job?"
"Nope."
"Why are you so noisy over there? Where are you? β
"I'm in a bar, selling alcohol."
"Aren't you looking for a job?"
"Sister, don't worry about it for now, I'll go back late today, and you should go home early."
"I asked my classmate today, and one of my classmates also works in a financial institution, and I told her about your situation, and she said that you can find a time to meet and talk, can you try it?"
"No need, sister, I'm a little busy here, I'll hang up first."
Jiang Chen hung up Lu Mingqiao's phone, feeling uncomfortable, the more she treated him and cared for him, the more uncomfortable he became.
Although Lu Mingqiao didn't know why Jiang Chen rejected her proposal, she still felt that something was wrong with him.
So, she plans to go to the bar to find him.
He usually goes to the bar at seven o'clock to push the wine, and at ten or eleven o'clock, it will be sold out.
Lu Mingqiao stood at the door of the bar and waited.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Jiang Chen came out.
He walked briskly out with the empty basket of wine.
"Jiang Chen." Lu Mingqiao stopped him.
Jiang Chen turned around, saw her, and asked, "Why are you here?" Didn't I tell you to come home early? β
"Why did you reject my suggestion?" Lu Mingqiao asked straightforwardly.
"I don't want to look for a job just yet."
"Why?"
"I just don't want to look for it."
"No way, to be honest."
"Sister, I'll send you back." Jiang Chen pulled Lu Mingqiao's arm.
Lu Mingqiao flashed for a moment and said, "You are refusing to communicate with me." β
"I know that you studied in A University, you are a graduate student, you are very capable, and the first two jobs you found are also very good, maybe you don't like what I introduced to you."
"Not really." Jiang Chen said that he didn't look down on the job she found him, but if he went, there would only be a result, or he would be rejected inexplicably.
"How's that? Do you feel uncomfortable as a man and accept help from women? β
"Not really."
"Since it's neither, why not give it a try?" Lu Mingqiao asked.
"I may not be fit for work."
This sentence, as if it was said by her younger brother Lu Mingxuan, sounded very naΓ―ve.
"Don't you think it's ridiculous to say that? Just go to my classmate's company and talk about it, if it's not suitable, let's think of another way, if her company doesn't use you, I can still help you ask the real reason, what's wrong with that? Why are you so stubborn? β
"Sister, can you let me make my own choice?" Jiang Chen asked.
"You can choose, you can choose to live like you are now, no problem, but you have to explain why you don't continue to look for a job."
"I'm suitable for doing this, I can't do anything else, I have a good education, but I can only theoretically, I can't operate, big companies can't enter, small companies don't want to, so now I don't want to look for it, okay?"
Lu Mingqiao sneered: "You just continue to lie." β
She will always remember the light in his eyes when he was on the first video with her on the first day of Zhimei's video, warm and bright.
It must be something he likes, so he can be in good spirits.
Now he says he can't do it? I'm afraid I just don't want to tell her the truth.
After finishing speaking, she ignored Jiang Chen and went directly to the side of the road to take a taxi.
"Sister!" Jiang Chen went to pull Lu Mingqiao, but only grabbed a little of her clothes, and she broke away.
"Ming Qiao!"
"Lu Mingqiao!"
"Didn't you say that I wouldn't be looking for a job and that I would? What are you doing now? β
"I said it, but only if you like it, but do you? Don't you really like AI or what you do professionally? You got two jobs and hit a wall, and then you just hid like that? I help you find you and you still refuse, how do you let me understand you? β
"Beauty, I'll take you for a ride." At this time, a convertible sports car stopped in front of Lu Mingqiao, and a person who looked like a rich second generation in the car said to Lu Mingqiao.
Jiang Chen directly grabbed Lu Mingqiao and took her away.
"Hey!" The rich second generation got out of the car and blocked their way.
"I've been watching you two for a long time, and the big beauty doesn't want to follow you, right? Don't be strong. β
"She's my girlfriend!"
"Your girlfriend? I don't think so, I think she's like my girlfriend, it's the type I like. β
"What nonsense are you talking about!" When Jiang Chen heard this, he punched the rich second generation.
