When Chen Duo raised his head and saw that the person standing in front of him was Zhao Shanhe, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face and he asked in disbelief: "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here? But you, why are you here?" Zhao Shanhe saw the scene just now, so he felt a little confused in his heart.
"This...it's hard to put it into words." Chen Duo shook his head, sighed, and said with some bitterness.
"It's too difficult to say, so how about we talk slowly? Find a place to have a drink and chat for a while," Zhao Shanhe said.
"good!"
Anyway, no one came to buy shaved ice, so Chen Duo simply gave up. After closing the stall, he followed Zhao Shanhe to a barbecue stall next to the night market. After the three of them ordered a bunch of skewers, they sat down and started drinking beer.
"Tell me, what's going on? You haven't been to my place for a while. I thought you were promoted or your job position was adjusted, so you don't need to go shopping."
"But it seems that's not the case now. How did you end up selling shaved ice at the night market?" Zhao Shanhe asked straightforwardly after having a drink.
"It's hard to describe in words!"
After a few glasses of wine, Chen Duo began to talk. He was also panicking and wanted to find someone to complain to. He never had the chance. Now that he met Zhao Shanhe, how could he hold back?
Start talking.
It turns out this thing is very simple.
Everyone in Yongxing Department Store knows that Chen Duo follows the eldest son Chen Jinzhang and is Chen Jinzhang's absolute confidant. Logically speaking, as long as Chen Jinzhang is around, his position cannot be shaken.
But here's the problem.
Chen Jinzhang is sick, and he doesn't know what kind of disease he has, but it is very serious anyway. He has been sent abroad for treatment in the United States, and he will not be able to come back for a while.
When Chen Jinzhang fell ill, his second son, Chen Jinjun, was promoted by the old man and entrusted with important responsibilities.
One emperor and one courtier.
Chen Jinjun didn't even think about wooing Chen Duo, so he fired him directly and replaced Lin Hongwei, the deputy chief of the purchasing department.
In the past, with the support of Chen Jinzhang, Chen Duo despised people like Lin Hongwei who only relied on flattery to get to the top, so he often dealt with him.
It's good now. Lin Hongwei has seized the opportunity. How can he say he won't retaliate?
"That's what happened, it's so bloody, isn't it?" Chen Duo smiled bitterly and drank the wine boredly.
"It's ridiculous, but it's normal. Once an emperor, there are always ministers. When Chen Jinjun came to power, he had to support his own people no matter what. Is it possible that he should continue to use you? Impossible." Zhao Shanhe said casually.
"Yeah, I know it's impossible, but I just feel uncomfortable."
After Chen Duo finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and drank another glass of beer. He didn't even bother to wipe the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, so he grabbed a mutton skewer and started licking it.
While masturbating, he complained and said: "I have been working at Yongxing Department Store for five years. I have paid a lot for Yongxing Department Store in these five years, but in the end I ended up in such an end. It makes me angry just thinking about it."
"Don't Chen Jinzhang know that you are like this?" Zhao Shanhe asked.
"I know, but what can I do if I know? He is not in power now."
Chen Duo smiled bitterly.
"I told him about this, but do you know what he said? He said what he wants to do most now is to cure the disease. If he can't cure the disease, he doesn't want to worry about anything else."
"I was just given up by Chen Jinzhang!" Chen Duo spread his hands, shrugged, and sighed helplessly.
Give up?
Yes, Chen Jinzhang did give up on Chen Duo by doing this. After all, even if he is not in power now, he is still the eldest son of Yongxing Department Store, right?
If he said he was willing to stand up for Chen Duo, how could Chen Duo end up like this? No matter how bad he is, he can find a suitable position in Yongxing Department Store and support his family, right?
"Then what are you going to do next? You don't really want to sell shaved ice at the night market for the rest of your life, do you?" Zhao Shanhe asked.
"What's wrong with selling shaved ice? Do you look down on people who sell shaved ice?"
Chen Duo glared.
"Didn't you start your own business selling shaved ice?"
"Yes, I started my business by selling shaved ice, so why would I look down on people who sell shaved ice? It's just that the market for shaved ice has long been saturated. Even in Zhongzhou City, you can't make much money."
"Besides, you still have to support your family, right? Is this money enough for food and drink?" Zhao Shanhe picked up a mutton skewer and ate it.
"What can we do if it's not enough? Let's do this for now." Chen Duo said helplessly.
"Come to me!"
Zhao Shanhe put down the bamboo stick in his hand, stared at Chen Duo, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Duo, we have dealt with you a lot. I know who you are and I know that you are a capable person."
"People like you shouldn't waste your talents on selling shaved ice. You should have a broader stage to display your ambitions. Since Chen Jinzhang and Chen Jinjun are both blind, then just follow me!"
"You want to use me?"
Chen Duo was stunned for a moment.
He really never thought about following Zhao Shanhe. After all, no matter what he said in the past, the two of them had a cooperative relationship. With such a sudden change, he would become Zhao Shanhe's subordinate, and he wouldn't be able to change it for a while.
This one is curved.
"Yes, I want to use you."
Zhao Shanhe said calmly: "Chen Duo, we all know everything about it. You also know about my Shanqiu Food and Hetu Manufacturing, and I also know about your affairs at Yongxing Department Store."
"Besides, this isn't considered job-hopping, right? You've already been abandoned by the Chen family, so you have to find a way to make a living, right?"
"As the old saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost in. Do you want to stay here all your life and be laughed at and humiliated by people like Lin Hongwei?"
Chen Duo, who was still a little hesitant at first, suddenly had a flash of determination in his eyes when he heard these words.
Yes, I'm already like this, why do I still want to think about so many messy things? I should feel honored that Zhao Shanhe is willing to give me a chance. It would be hypocritical to hesitate here anymore.
What's more, Zhao Shanhe is not a penniless pauper. He now owns two factories, Shanqiu Food and Hetu Manufacturing, and his annual economic benefits are not low.
Working here has a better future than staying at Yongxing Department Store.
Thinking of this, Chen Duo directly picked up the wine glass in front of him and said with some excitement: "Director Zhao, since you said so, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse you again."
"Okay, I agree to what you said. From now on, I will be a soldier under you."
"Okay, do it!"
Zhao Shanhe happily raised his wine glass and the two drank it down in one gulp.
To be honest, Zhao Shanhe did not expect that he would encounter such a thing during his trip to Zhongzhou City.
You must know that he has full faith in Chen Duo's ability and has long wanted to recruit him. There was no chance before, but now the opportunity has come.
Otherwise, it means that the flowers planted intentionally do not bloom, but the willows planted unintentionally create shade.
"Director Zhao, where do you want me to go? Is it Hetu Manufacturing or Shanqiu Food? I can do both, and I will follow your arrangements." Chen Duo put down his wine glass and followed.
"Shanqiu Food? Made in Hetu?"
Zhao Shanhe waved his hand and said with a raised corner of his mouth: "None of them!"
