Chapter 499: Yi Cheng becomes a reporter, everyone sends blessings
With Zhou Chen coming forward, there will naturally be no problems with Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei's work.
Qiao Erqiang became a warehouse keeper, and Qiao Simei became a cashier. Their dormitories were also arranged together, with two rooms and one living room.
Guoxing Textile Factory originally occupied a large area, and Chenxing later bought a piece of land around it, so Chenxing now occupies a large area.
Nowadays, Chenxing Textile Factory includes a textile factory and a garment factory. It has more than 2,000 employees, and the dormitory area is also very large. However, most of Chenxing's employees live at home, and there are not many employees living in dormitories.
Even if they live in a dormitory, few people live in a two-bedroom apartment. After all, forty-one months, there are still water and electricity bills, which is also an expense, so most of those who live in a two-bedroom apartment bring their families with them.
.
After taking Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei to receive factory uniforms, the group arrived at the dormitories that had been arranged.
"Brother Zhou Chen, why are your factory uniforms so bright red? Isn't it too bright? It doesn't matter if we women wear them, but wouldn't it feel awkward if men wear them?"
Chenxing's factory clothes are completely different from other factories. In addition to the bright red color, the style is also very fashionable. The quality is also outstanding. The clothes produced in our own factory will naturally use good materials.
Qiao Sanli retorted: "I think red is good, Chinese red, so festive. My second brother will definitely look handsome in it."
Qiao Simei straightened her nose and said in a sweet voice: "Sister, you haven't married brother Zhou Chen yet, but you are just talking to brother Zhou Chen's family like this, and you don't even look down on me, your biological sister."
"Nonsense."
Qiao Sanli pointed her finger on Qiao Simei's forehead: "After you go to work, please stop being so glib."
The group soon arrived at Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei's dormitory. Seeing the brand new two bedrooms and one living room, Qiao Simei immediately cheered and was the first to rush into the bedroom to check.
"Wow, the room is so big..."
When Qiao Simei saw that the master bedroom was more than ten square meters, she exclaimed. The cabin in their house was probably only ten square meters, and there were several people living there.
In comparison, this master bedroom is more than ten square meters, which is really very large.
Qiao Yicheng was also looking at the living room, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, and most importantly, there was an independent balcony.
"Zhou Chen, how big is this house?"
"More than sixty square meters, less than seventy square meters."
"It looks so big."
Zhou Chen smiled and said nothing. The reason why it looks bigger is because the house does not have a shared area now. If it is more than sixty square meters, the difference is only a few square meters at most.
"Second brother, second brother, I want this bedroom."
Qiao Simei ran out happily, pointed at the larger master bedroom, and declared sovereignty to Qiao Erqiang.
Qiao Erqiang didn't care: "Okay, then I'll live here."
Qiao Simei said happily: "Great, this will be my room from now on. I will decorate it well and put posters of King Fei and the Four Heavenly Kings on the wall."
Qiao Yicheng struck: "Then you have to keep working hard, otherwise you will stop working after a few days and all your efforts will be in vain."
"Brother, how can you say that to me?"
Qiao Simei was very dissatisfied. She said loudly: "Even if it's just for this house, I will work hard. I will definitely make a difference."
Zhou Chen encouraged: "As long as you are willing to work hard, there are plenty of opportunities to rise in Chenxing."
"Did you hear that? You have to work hard, you know?"
Qiao Yicheng once again warned Qiao Simei that he was not worried about the second strongman. What he was most worried about was Simei who escaped, so he must give a stern warning.
"Okay, okay, brother, I understand."
After settling down Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei, the five of them had lunch together, and then Zhou Chen left Chenxing Textile Factory with Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Sanli who were reluctant to leave.
On the way back, Qiao Sanli's mood became very low. Once Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei left, there were two less people in the family. If her eldest brother was not at home, she would not want to go back.
Seeing Qiao Sanli's downcast expression, Zhou Chen comforted her: "Sanli, if you want to see the second strong and the fourth beautiful, just tell me and I will drive over. I guarantee it will be quick and convenient."
Qiao Yicheng also said: "Sanli, Erqiang and Simei have their own jobs. We should be happy for them. We don't let them live at home because of the special circumstances. Besides, I won't wait until class starts."
You will live at home, and you will also live on campus. On weekends, you can invite the top two and four beauties to have dinner with them."
"Dad is alone at home, are you okay?" Qiao Sanli was still too kind, and couldn't bear the thought of her lonely father.
But Qiao Yicheng was not as sentimental as her, and snorted coldly: "No matter what he does, he hopes that we will leave him alone. When we run out of money, he will come looking for us."
He couldn't understand his father very well. He used to worry about them and spend his money, so that he no longer had any spare money for himself.
But now, he is afraid that they will not support him. As long as they give him money, he will definitely not hesitate. Unless he has no money, he will not take the initiative to find them.
What Qiao Yicheng said made Qiao Sanli think of her father's virtues. She sighed slightly and agreed with her elder brother's words.
Time flies, half a year passes in a blink of an eye, and this summer, Qiao Yicheng's postgraduate studies are also over. Instead of obeying the school's assignment, he applied for several units on his own, and was finally admitted by Jinling TV Station.
In this era when the Internet has not yet begun, television is the largest media. In particular, Jinling TV Station is a state unit, a proper civil servant and a good unit.
In a private room of Jinling Hotel, a large group of people gathered at this moment.
As the protagonist, Qiao Yicheng wore a black suit today, which was extremely brand-new.
"Tell me about you. Didn't you just get admitted to the TV station and become a reporter? Why are you wasting this money to come to Jinling Hotel and buy new suits?"
Qiao Yicheng was full of complaints, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
To be honest, he didn't expect that he would be able to successfully enter the TV station, which was considered very good among the several units he applied for.
After he told his younger siblings the good news, Qiao Sanli and the others immediately mobilized. The three of them jointly paid for a private room at the Jinling Hotel to celebrate Qiao Yicheng becoming a reporter and about to start working.
Qiao Sanli smiled and said: "Brother, Zhou Chen ordered the private room, but the three of us paid for it. As for the suit you are wearing, Zhou Chen bought it."
When Qiao Yicheng heard this, he immediately complained to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, I'm not telling you, why are you wasting this money? Even if you want to buy it, buy a cheaper one. This looks expensive to you, right?"
Although he has never worn a suit, this suit looks unusual.
Zhou Chen, who was standing with Qiao Sanli, smiled softly and said: "If I buy it for you, just keep it. Why are we so polite? Besides, you are going to report on the TV station soon. You don't have a good suit."
No matter how good the outfit is, this kind of unit also cares about image and cannot give the leader a bad impression."
Qi Weimin walked up to Qiao Yicheng and handed him a shoe box in his hand.
"What Zhou Chen said is right. We are all working people. Image is very important. Zhou Chen bought you a brand-name suit. I am not as rich as him, so I bought you a pair of leather shoes. See if they fit.
.”
Qiao Yicheng pointed at Qi Weimin helplessly: "Qi Weimin, you, what do you want me to say?"
"Brother, if you don't know what to say, just don't say it and just accept it all. This is everyone's good intention."
Qiao Simei was very happy to take the shoe box and open it, then squatted down and said, "Brother, lift your feet and let me try it on you."
Qiao Yicheng had no choice but to smile and put on his new shoes.
"Ah, the size is just right, brother Min, you have such good taste." Qiao Simei said coquettishly.
After Qiao Yicheng changed into his leather shoes, Chang Xingyu, who was standing behind Qi Weimin, slowly walked forward.
"Brother, this is my gift to you."
Qiao Yicheng: "Chang Xingyu, what are you trying to do?"
Chang Xingyu said with a smile: "You are my senior brother. You have found a job and it is appropriate to celebrate you. I personally selected this pen. I hope you like it."
Qiao Yicheng opened it and looked at it, and his smile became even bigger: "I like it, I like it, then thank you, Xingyu."
Qi Weimin smiled and said: "We are all family members from now on, so don't thank me."
There was a burst of laughter in the box, and Chang Xingyu shyly twisted Qi Weimin's waist.
Everyone gave gifts, Qiao Yicheng greeted: "Everyone, please sit down."
Several people sat down one after another. The four brothers and sisters of the Qiao family, plus Zhou Chen, Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu, as well as the youngest Qiao Qiqi, there were seven people in total. Such a big table still seemed very empty.
This was the first time Zhou Chen had seen Qiao Qiqi. She was really pretty, but she was very shy and didn't speak much.
After everyone sat down, Qiao Yicheng still stood.
"I am really happy that everyone is celebrating me today. You are all my dearest people and best friends. With your blessings, I feel very satisfied and happy."
As he spoke, Qiao Yicheng's eyes became slightly red. He had suffered for so many years, and at this moment, he felt that his life was about to become more exciting.
Qi Weimin said loudly: "It's a big day, don't say any more sensational words. If you have anything to say, put it all in the wine. Zhou Chen, take out the wine you brought."
"As long as you speak quickly."
Zhou Chen put the two handbags aside on the table and took out four bottles of wine.
"Today we have both men and women, so we will not drink white wine, but just drink red wine. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, you should drink it when you are happy."
Qiao Yicheng saw the four bottles of beautifully packaged red wine and frowned: "Zhou Chen, why did you bring wine here? This wine is very expensive. You can keep it for yourself and drink it. We can get something cheaper."
Zhou Chen raised his hand and took Qiao Yicheng's extended hand.
"I have brought all the wine. There is no way to bring it back. As for whether the wine is expensive or not, it is not your concern. No matter how expensive the wine is, it is for others to drink."
Qi Weimin said: "If it's 10%, just listen to Zhou Chen. I can prove that he really didn't spend a penny on the wine. It was given to him by someone else."
Qiao Yicheng asked in surprise: "How did you know?"
"Because I know the person who delivered the wine, he was my teacher in graduate school."
"Really? What's going on? Why did your mentor give Zhou Chen wine?"
Several people present, except Zhou Chen and Qi Weimin who knew about it, all showed doubtful expressions, even Chang Xingyu was the same.
Qi Weimin explained: "This happened not long ago. Once, my teacher's grandson got a strange disease, and he went to many hospitals but couldn't find a cure. Later, I thought that Zhou Chen had bragged to us before, saying how superb his medical skills were, especially
He is even more powerful when it comes to looking after infants and young children. I was hesitant, so I introduced him to my teacher."
"To be honest, I just wanted to give it a try. Even my teacher didn't have any hope. But none of us expected that after Zhou Chen saw the child, he just prescribed a few medicines and massaged it.
After a few times, he actually recovered."
"My teacher originally wanted to give him money, but Zhou Chen didn't want it. In the end, he had no choice but to ask me to bring a few bottles of good wine to him."
"Really? Is there such a thing?"
Qiao Yicheng's face was full of surprise. They all knew that Zhou Chen studied medicine, but Zhou Chen was still studying, so they instinctively thought that Zhou Chen didn't have much medical skills.
Who would have thought that Zhou Chen would be able to treat people now.
Zhou Chen said modestly: "It's not as exaggerated as Qi Weimin said. It's just a coincidence. Okay, Yicheng is the protagonist today."
Skillfully open the red wine and pour it into the decanter.
Zhou Chen explained: "As for this red wine, you need to sober up before drinking. There are three main purposes for sobering up: first, to separate the sediment in the wine to make the wine clearer and more transparent; second, to soften the tannins and reduce the
Third, it allows the wine to fully "breathe", thereby releasing richer floral and fruity aromas and developing more subtle and complex flavors."
“In short, decanting is usually done to enhance the flavor and texture of wine.”
Qiao Erqiang looked confused. He didn't understand and asked: "How much is there to pay attention to when drinking?"
Zhou Chen laughed and said: "Westerners are sometimes more particular. The customs in each place are different. Red wine does need to be sobered to taste better, especially old wine."
Qiao Erqiang muttered: "It's so troublesome, I might as well drink white wine."
"That's different. It's okay for us men to drink white wine, but not Sanli and the others. Red wine is just wine. Although it has alcohol content, it is also very suitable for girls to drink. Good red wine can make girls' skin more rosy.
It can also play an anti-aging and preventive role.”
"real or fake?"
Several people present looked doubtful, but the eyes of the three women, Sanli, Simei and Chang Xingyu, all brightened.
There is no woman who doesn't care about her skin or her age, even if they are still very young now.
Zhou Chen said: "It's true. There is scientific basis for this. However, you should drink red wine in moderation. If you drink too much, it will not be a good thing for girls."
"How long does it take to sober up?"
"Normally it takes about fifteen minutes. It also depends on the quality of the wine. Anyway, the dishes haven't been served yet, so let's chat first."
