Volume Two, Chapter 46, Fourth Sister Chen Ziqiao
Chen Ziqiao is now the financial director of a certain unit.
In the past few years of reform and opening up, various vendors and enterprises have sprung up one after another.
As the demand from various units increases, more and more people come to see her, and her daily schedule is fully booked.
The most important thing is that every time people come to see her, they come and leave with a full load.
At the beginning, everyone brought some local products, such as fungus, walnuts, chestnuts, potatoes, eggs, noodles, etc.
Once someone gave her some pairs of self-made cloth shoes as a gift.
At first they didn't accept anything, but they wouldn't leave until she accepted them. They were afraid that she wouldn't do anything for them.
Chen Ziqiao had no choice but to keep it, and gave away the uneaten food to colleagues or friends.
One day, a township entrepreneur came
"Mr. Chen, I need your help this time."
"What's wrong? Funds are tight again?"
"Recently, the project has not been handed over. It has been raining for a few days and the workers have no work. However, I still have to pay wages and funds are a bit tight. I would like to ask you to help me again."
"It shouldn't be a lot to pay workers, right? Why do you still want to borrow money?"
"Oh, isn't this a tight financial situation?"
"You have several loans here that are about to expire, so I won't borrow them this time."
"Mr. Chen, you see the money is not yours, so please help me. I'm really desperate."
"If it's okay to say it's personal to me, then I'll lend it to you. Just because it's not personal to me, I have to abide by the rules."
"Oh, Mr. Chen, rules are dead and people are alive. Please help me."
"No, no, you can go back." Chen Ziqiao refused.
But the next day the entrepreneur came again, this time not alone, but also her leader, Mr. Ma.
"Mr. Ma, why are you here?"
"This is a relative of mine who is having some difficulties. Please help him." Mr. Ma said.
"He has not paid back several dues recently."
"Let him go through all the procedures again, and then we can pay it back together."
"is this okay?"
"People are alive."
Chen Ziqiao re-opened the business for the township entrepreneur.
A few days later, township entrepreneurs came to thank Chen Ziqiao with a basket full of local eggs.
"Mr. Chen, thank you for helping me get through this difficult time. The project has been inspected and accepted in the past few days, and I am ready to pay. I will be able to repay the money after a while."
"Why are you thanking me? You should thank our leader." Chen Ziqiao felt uncomfortable with this person moving out and their leader.
"Why don't you, the county magistrate, take charge now? I have to thank you no matter what. If you don't give Mr. Ma face, Mr. Ma won't be able to do anything about it, right?"
"Don't take anything else. I have a lot at home and I can't even finish it." Chen Ziqiao refused.
"You must take this. These are the eggs laid by the old hens fed by my old mother. My old mother asked me to take them to thank you."
"You are really interesting. You have moved out of your old mother's house."
"We are of the same age. You are a filial daughter. You must accept the old man's things, right? Otherwise, if I take them back, she will feel very disappointed. Maybe she will come here by herself."
"Then just let it go."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Chen. You must take this egg home and eat it. It must be my mother's wish."
Chen Ziqiao found it very funny, even giving an egg made the old man move out.
I really still have some free-range eggs at home. These guys are really interesting. You can’t help but collect them. Forget it, just take them home after get off work.
I'll clean it up another day and have it taken back to my dad. Dad loves eggs the most. This basket of eggs weighs at least ten kilograms.
Chen Ziqiao carefully carried the eggs home.
There seemed to be a few broken eggs inside. She picked them up and saw that there was a pile of things placed under the eggs.
Desire is like a devil. When you reach out to it for the first time, you have no choice but to take it back. It keeps pulling you forward until there is an abyss in front of you.
Township entrepreneurs will still come often, and they will come when funds are tight. Later, they will introduce some people they know.
They are like a snowball, and the circle they roll out is getting bigger and bigger.
They often invited her to dinner, music, sauna, and of course Mr. Ma.
There are a few businesses in the middle that are getting bigger and bigger, all in construction.
Those who build roads, build infrastructure, build buildings, etc.
Chen Ziqiao was their treasurer. Anyone who needed money came to her. Chen Ziqiao became friends with them. Later, Chen Ziqiao became the wife of a township entrepreneur.
Chen Ziqiao moved into a new building, and Chen Ziqiao drove a car.
Chen Ziqiao traveled around the country with Mr. Ma, attending meetings, business trips, and seminars.
"Zi Qiao, these days are getting better and better. What do you feel in your heart?"
"It's not Mr. Ma's promotion that made life better." Thinking of it, if Mr. Ma hadn't come to her that time, the township entrepreneur probably wouldn't have given her anything, nor would he have become her husband.
"How can you just thank me? You have to thank the policies. Now with the reform and opening up, economic development is happening everywhere. We just benefit from the policies."
"That's right. I remember that when I was a kid, I couldn't even eat enough. Now I'm really happy."
"Don't worry, the good times are yet to come. This is just the beginning. By the way, Zi Qiao, come with me to Xicheng in a few days."
"Why are you going to Xicheng?"
"I want to be transferred to Xicheng. Mr. Lu in Xicheng knows me. I'll go find him."
"Then you won't be here anymore?"
"Let me explore the path first. Transferring requires a process."
"It's not good for me to go."
"What's wrong? We have been partners for so many years." Mr. Ma took Chen Ziqiao's hand.
Chen Ziqiao wanted to withdraw, but thought about it and gave it up.
"Zi Qiao, are all the girls in Quancheng so beautiful?"
"Well, she is much prettier than me. My fifth sister and eighth sister are both prettier than me, especially eighth sister."
"You are already so beautiful, is your eighth sister more beautiful than the person in the painting?"
"The people in the painting are all drawn, but my eighth sister is alive."
"In my eyes you are the most beautiful."
"You know how to say nice things." Chen Ziqiao smiled slightly.
"Your third sister, I will say hello to you people in Quancheng after a while."
"It's okay, my third sister is very capable at work."
Chen Ziqiao followed Mr. Ma to Xicheng, and it turned out that Mr. Lu whom Mr. Ma met was a very powerful person.
Soon, Mr. Lu came to Los Angeles and met with Chen Ziqiao alone.
Half a year later, Mr. Ma became the department manager of Los Angeles City. Later, Chen Ziqiao also followed Mr. Ma to the main department and still managed the economic power of the unit.
Whenever Mr. Ma goes on a business trip, he takes Chen Ziqiao with him. Today, Chen Ziqiao is no longer the little girl from the countryside. She is a social butterfly who shuttles between major cities, amidst all kinds of flying birds and flying swallows, and all kinds of financial arrangements.
Her smile became brighter and brighter, and she became more confident and beautiful, and her beauty was a sharp weapon in Mr. Ma's hands.
She shuttles between various occasions, using her beauty to benefit herself and Mr. Ma. Mr. Ma appreciates Chen Ziqiao's emotional intelligence and social skills.
Wherever she is, there is always laughter and laughter, making everyone laugh.
