Ye Chen came out of the shower and saw that his wife Xiao Churan had not returned to the room yet, so he put on his home pajamas and came to the living room.
In the living room, a family of three was chatting happily.
Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan, old enemies who had been arguing about separation, surprisingly did not choke on each other anymore.
Ye Chen came down and asked curiously: "Chu Ran, Dad, Mom. Why don't you go back to your room to rest?"
Xiao Churan stood up hurriedly, ran over to hold Ye Chen's arm, and said with a smile: "My parents said they would keep you happy, your 27th birthday is less than two hours away, everyone is waiting for it
I want to say happy birthday to you for the first time!"
Ye Chen smiled knowingly and said, "Thank you, wife, thank you parents."
Ma Lan immediately said flatteringly: "Oh, my dear son-in-law, why are you and mom so polite? You are really out of touch."
After saying that, he immediately asked: "By the way, my dear son-in-law, tomorrow is your birthday. Will your customers come to your house to give you gifts like they do during the Chinese New Year?"
Ye Chen was startled. He didn't know whether Chen Zekai and the others would come to give him gifts.
However, he did have a headache about the scene of queuing up to give gifts, so he secretly made up his mind to tell Chen Zekai and ask him to ask some other people indirectly. If he really prepared a gift for himself, he must not
Send it home.
So, while taking out his mobile phone and sending a WeChat message to Chen Zekai, he said to Ma Lan: "Mom, the reason why they come to give gifts during the Chinese New Year is mainly because I helped them a lot last year, so they come to say thank you at the end of the year.
, I definitely won’t come for my birthday, after all, people’s money doesn’t come from strong winds.”
When Ma Lan heard this, she couldn't help but said with some disappointment on her face: "I thought they would come tomorrow too. In that case, just wait patiently until the end of this year."
Xiao Churan on the side heard this and shook his head helplessly.
Afterwards, it was rare for the family to sit together and chat in peace and quiet.
Xiao Churan and Xiao Changkun both talked about their work situations.
Although Xiao Churan has been very busy recently, she feels extremely fulfilled.
Although she had been working for so many years, she had been working in the Xiao Group. Not only did she have to be looked down upon by the old lady, but she was also constantly squeezed out by Xiao Hailong and Xiao Weiwei. That kind of work was very frustrating and it was difficult to give full play to her talents.
Specialties and abilities.
Now that she started her own business and worked for herself, she was able to get rid of the previous gloom. Moreover, she received a lot of resource support and help from the Emgrand Group from the beginning of her business, so now she has gradually found the feeling of success in her career, and she feels very happy every day.
Fulfillment and a sense of accomplishment.
As for Xiao Changkun, he has made considerable progress in the Painting and Calligraphy Association recently.
He is now the executive vice president of the Painting and Calligraphy Association, a standard second-in-command, and has gained some fame and influence in the small circle.
He happily introduced to his family: "Recently, our Jinling City is actively building the image of a famous historical and cultural city. The city has allocated a lot of funds to specifically support the cultural field. Because of this, the calligraphy and painting association I am in has recently received several awards.
Without subsidies from local governments, things will get better and better in the future.”
"With the government's subsidies and help, our calligraphy and painting association is no longer just a non-governmental interest group focusing on hobbies, but has become a semi-public and semi-private non-governmental charity organization!"
"Moreover, this special subsidy from the government also gives all full-time staff of our Painting and Calligraphy Association a good salary package. From now on, we, Lao Xiao, will also have a fixed salary in the Painting and Calligraphy Association."
Ma Lan asked curiously: "Oh, your calligraphy and painting association has started paying you wages now?!"
Xiao Changkun said with an arrogant look: "Not only are wages paid, but they are also paid a lot!"
After saying that, Xiao Changkun said again: "Look, as the executive vice president, starting from this month, my monthly basic salary is 12,000 yuan. I am the second highest salary in our entire calligraphy and painting association after President Pei."
Two high salaries!”
Later, Xiao Changkun said: "This is just the basic salary given to us by Jinling City. In fact, many private enterprises have recently wanted to get involved in the cultural development business, so they have also donated a lot of funds to the calligraphy and painting association and contacted many
Resources, our Calligraphy and Painting Association has been undertaking many calligraphy and painting activities recently, so the next days of the Calligraphy and Painting Association will be very comfortable."
Ma Lan hurriedly asked: "Can you also make money by cooperating with private enterprises?"
"Of course!" Xiao Changkun said immediately: "Private enterprises themselves have sponsorships, and each event will give us some transportation and consultant fees. I heard President Pei do some calculations. If there are two events a week, and I have all
If everyone attends, you can probably get anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 yuan for one event."
"Oh my god!" Ma Lan said in surprise: "How much can you earn from one event?! There are two events a week, eight events a month. If one event costs 3,000 yuan, that's more than 20,000 yuan! Plus,
With a basic salary, wouldn’t it be possible to earn more than 30,000 yuan a month?”
"Yes." Xiao Changkun nodded and said with a smile: "I used to never understand why so many people like to volunteer to join various associations and societies with little remuneration. I thought they were just for fame and reputation, but now I understand.
, it turns out that there are still many ways to do it, and if you do it well, there will be a lot of room for profit."
Ma Lan became interested all of a sudden. She looked at Xiao Changkun and asked in a flattering tone: "Chang Kun, when my leg heals, can you get me to join your calligraphy and painting association? Then I'll give you whatever you want.
I will arrange a part-time job and give me a salary. If there are any activities, I can also go along. Anyway, being idle at home is idle."
Speaking of this, Ma Lan touched her right leg and sighed: "Hey, I have been really miserable for the past six months. I have done nothing but stay at home to raise my legs, but I am so depressed."
Xiao Changkun was startled and hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Oh, our Painting and Calligraphy Association has stopped recruiting new members for a long time. Recently, there are dozens of people queuing up to join, all waiting to participate in interviews and defenses.
You don’t know much about calligraphy and painting, so I’d say don’t bother with it. Wouldn’t it be nice to stay at home peacefully? When your legs heal, you can walk around and take a trip.”
In the past, Xiao Changkun would have ridiculed me a long time ago. You, Ma Lan, a shrew, still want to join the calligraphy and painting association? You are probably crazy.
However, he knew very well that if Ma Lan got angry if he said such words at this time, he might have to leave, so he could only persuade her with good words.
But even so, Ma Lan was still a little dissatisfied and snorted: "What? You look down on me? You Xiao Changkun can join the Painting and Calligraphy Association as the executive vice president, don't I even have the qualifications to become a member? Don't think that I
I don't know about you
How did you come to be the executive vice-president? Isn’t it because of my good son-in-law? Otherwise, your character, which can’t be beaten with three sticks, would have been squeezed out long ago. Wait until the dog raised at the door of the Calligraphy and Painting Society becomes the
It’s not your turn to be the vice-president!”
Xiao Changkun's face suddenly turned red and he thought to himself: "What this shrew Ma Lan said is really right. I was almost squeezed out at the beginning. Fortunately, Ye Chen gave me a face in Tianxiang Mansion. Pei Hui
Chang Jian Hong
After the Fifth Master treated me with respect, he rushed to curry favor with me and gave me the position of executive vice-president. It’s just that Ma Lan’s speech was too unpleasant. What kind of calligraphy and painting association can a dog be the vice-president?
Is it long?"
Just as he was thinking about it, Ma Lan saw that he was silent and immediately said: "Since you are not willing to help me, I will ask my good son-in-law to help. Maybe then I can also go in and become the vice president, and the two of us will do it."
When word spreads about this husband-and-wife team, it will be a good story!"
Xiao Changkun was so frightened that his sphincter almost lost control.
He knew what Ye Chen was capable of. If Ye Chen really spoke up, it wouldn't be difficult to get Ma Lan a vice president.
In that case, if Ma Lan haunts him every day, he will be finished, and there will be no chance for development with Han Meiqing.
When he thought of this, he hurriedly said: "Oh, my wife, you said that I am on the rise of my career now, and you suddenly found a relationship and started a husband-and-wife partnership with me. How will others see me? Then what will happen to me, Xiao Changkun, in the eyes of others?
Here, isn't it just nepotism? If you really support my career, you have to take the initiative to avoid suspicion!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Changkun saw that Ma Lan's expression turned ugly. He immediately waved his hand and gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, you don't have to go to any calligraphy and painting association in the future. I will give you half of my salary, and you can spend it on whatever you want."
,How about it?"
When Ma Lan heard about the money, his eyes suddenly lit up and he blurted out: "No! You have to hand over all your wages to me!"
Xiao Changkun gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, spitting out one word between his teeth: "Okay!"
