Shang Xiaoshu really thinks that the Chen family, except for Chen Sancheng, other people, including the big boss Chen Ercheng and Chen Jiayi, are a little difficult to understand with ordinary people's thinking.

Let's talk about the big boss Chen Ercheng, the business has been so big, many things are still used to doing it himself, and at the age of less than 50, he tired himself into a seventy or eighty-year-old body. The reason why Chen's Group did not take the road to listing is that, in Shang Xiaoshu's view, it is not that there is no shortage of money, but that the big boss is accustomed to having the final say and is unwilling to introduce external partners. The advantage is that a decision, as long as the big boss makes a decision, can immediately be promoted with the strength of the whole group. The bad part is like now, even if the big boss is going out to see a doctor, a bunch of people in the company are still used to waiting for him to decide on many matters.

The chairman can't be idle, and the chairman's secretary will of course only be busier. For a few days in a row, Shang Xiaoshu was busy for another hour or two after work before returning to the apartment. When she received a call from a yoga instructor asking her when she was free to go to a yoga class, she remembered that she had made a yoga annual card on a whim at the beginning of the year, and now that more than half a year has passed, she has only gone two or three times. Fortunately, she has the habit of running in the morning, try to go to bed early, and you can also insist on getting up early and running for an hour, otherwise it is estimated that she will also be healthy sooner or later.

Of course, this kind of busy life is also what Shang Xiaoshu is used to. Compared with the occasional punctual off-duty, overtime is the normal life of Shang Xiaoshu. Especially in the first two years of joining Chen's and the days when he was responsible for the establishment of an e-commerce company, Shang Xiaoshu could not leave the office until after 8 o'clock in the evening, and it was common for him to stay up all night when he encountered urgent or major matters to be dealt with.

At the beginning, my aunt often counted Shang Xiaoshu distressedly, but it was better to be leisurely, and her body was important, "the body is the capital of the revolution." Shang Xiaoshu disagreed, she felt that she was only in her 20s, and she should still work hard, "It's better to work hard for life in your 40s, right?" ”

The aunt gave her a roll of her eyes, "I'm desperate to marry an unreliable person, and I'm in foreign debt, as long as you don't meet a scumbag, have a job to support yourself, and live a peaceful and stable life, where do you need to work so hard......"

"Wrong, you have to make money as soon as possible, and it has nothing to do with whether you meet a scumbag or not. Judging from the current social situation, only with money can you choose the life you want. Auntie, let me tell you, if you didn't have the conditions at the beginning, even if you loved me again, you wouldn't be able to sponsor me to study......"

Shang Xiaoshu said what was in her heart, she regretted that she didn't study hard when she was studying. If she used the energy of her current work to study hard in middle school, it is estimated that it is possible to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and why is her college entrance examination score only enough to enter a city university to study for a junior college, and she was also transferred to her least favorite English major. After the notice, she didn't want to study, and the annual tuition fee was several thousand, so it was better to go to the factory as soon as possible to work and make money. It was my aunt who insisted on sending her to school. Of course, at that time, my aunt and my uncle's clothing workshop was still operating normally, which was enough to cover her and her cousin's study expenses.

After three years of junior college, Shang Xiaoshu didn't put much effort into studying, first, he was really not interested in his major, and second, he was busy working part-time to earn living expenses. My aunt has already borne all her tuition and living expenses since middle school, and I don't want to ask my aunt for money after going to college.

She didn't expect to find a good job after graduation. I originally planned to graduate, so I went back to my aunt and uncle to help run the business, to see if I could help make the small workshop bigger, make more money and replace it with high-end intelligent machines, so as to save my aunt so hard every day. As a result, before she could get her graduation certificate, something happened to her aunt. To be exact, it was the little uncle who had an accident.

The little uncle, who has always thought that making quick money is his goal in life, hid from his aunt, took out all the family's savings and some payments received in advance, a total of more than 3 million, and invested in a "big business" with his so-called friends, but he lost all his money. Because of this change, my aunt's small clothing workshop is gone, and the house is sold, but it is still not enough to pay off the debt. Her uncle Zhang Xiaojun left Shenshui City immediately after the accident, leaving her aunt alone to face a bunch of door-to-door debt collectors.

In a fit of anger, the aunt divorced, but admitted the remaining foreign debt of nearly 1 million. Shang Xiaoshu began to be puzzled by this, the money was borrowed by his uncle, and he should pay it back. But the aunt said that the creditors are relatives and customers who have known each other for many years, and many of them borrowed it because of the aunt's face, and she didn't know that it was her housework with Zhang Xiaojun, blaming her for not knowing people clearly, but the person who borrowed the money was not at fault and could not let the family bear the loss.

Money, of course, is important, but the affection between people is even more rare. When the money is gone, you can make it again. Love is lost, but it is not easy to get it back.

Then, Yu Xin told Shang Xiaoshu and her son Zhang Meng that they should not be afraid, work hard, and pay back the money slowly, just when they just came out of the town. She was alone then, and now there are at least three people who rely on each other.

After listening to Shang Xiaoshu, he silently hugged his aunt who lowered his head. What else can she say, of course, is support. There is also a secret pride in her heart, and her aunt, who is soft and weak on the outside, is worthy of being the person she loves the most since she was a child.

For Auntie's decision, Shang Xiaoshu is action and spiritual unanimous support. My aunt joined a fabric factory owned by Chen's family, the largest private enterprise in the town, as a production supervisor. Shang Xiaoshu returned to Shenshui City in the second semester of his junior year and applied for an intern at Chen's Group, starting from the front desk.

At that time, the Chen Group had not yet moved into the headquarters building it is today, and the group office was located next door to one of the group's largest furniture factories. The office building is also very close to the fabric factory where my aunt works, and the two of them rented a private house nearby, which is convenient for work and the rent is cheap. My aunt's cousin, Xiaoshang Xiaoshu, was 8 years old and was in his first year of junior high school, and was sent to boarding school and only came home once a week.

In 2008, even in China's most developed economic regions, intern salaries were not much higher, not to mention that Shenshui City, where Shang Xiaoshu was located, was only a small town closer to the metropolis. The initial internship salary is only enough for daily expenses. In order to help her aunt share the burden, Shang Xiaoshu can only find some part-time jobs, such as advertising on local forums and providing tutoring services for primary and secondary school students. Of course, with Shang Xiaoshu's professional level, she generally selects primary school students and junior high school students for tutoring, worried that tutoring high school students will overturn.

For example, with a little self-taught PS technology, he provides photo and retouching services for online stores. Whether during the internship or after becoming a full-time employee, she is often the last to leave the company, in addition to the fact that the front desk work is really cumbersome, there is also an important reason, which is that she often has to rub the company's computer and network when she works part-time.

The front desk location is the front of a company, of course, the computer should be configured as high as possible, the company's optical fiber network speed is fast, and it is much easier to use than Shang Xiaoshu's small notebook that is earned by the university himself as a part-time worker.

It was during this period that Shang Xiaoshu met Chen Jiayi and became familiar with it. Both of them often work overtime, and they are often urged and urged by the security guards to leave the office. At this time, Chen Jiayi had just been transferred from the cashier of the store to the headquarters as an accountant, she was originally a graduate of the finance major, and there was no shortage of theory, but the accounting practice still needs to be studied hard.

Later, Shang Xiaoshu knew that Chen Jiayi had always been under pressure for the identity of the niece of the big boss, and at that time she was preparing for the CPA exam, hoping to speak with strength among colleagues.

One night, Shang Xiaoshu was urged by the security guard to walk out of the company's gate, and found that it was raining heavily outside, she didn't bring an umbrella, so she could only stand in a daze on the porch outside the gate, and couldn't think about whether to run directly to the bus station in the rain, or wait for the rain to light up before leaving. It's quite cold at night.

At this time, a car drove out of the parking lot next to her, the headlights shook her, and stopped in front of the porch, and an unfamiliar voice sounded, "Shang Xiaoshu, where do you live?" I'll send you back".

With this gift, Shang Xiaoshu gained his first friend after work.
