Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 258
"Change? Are you planning to..."

Lan Qimei said uncertainly, unable to imagine what Xu Jichang would do next.

"Simple. Currently, including you, everyone in the chef team is part-time."

"When the business becomes stable later on, I will mobilize some people to resign and work with me. Then I will receive more orders and earn more money."

"Well... what about the food stamps and cloth stamps of those who resigned?"

While Lan Qimei agreed with Xu Jichang's idea, she was worried.

In the voucher era, you can only receive material vouchers when you work at your workplace.Lan Qimei was worried that no one would be willing to come out to work with Xu Jichang because she couldn't get tickets for private work.

"This is easy to handle. When we work for others in the future, we can't just ask for money."

Xu Jichang had already prepared the answer, "We still need material tickets."

"I guarantee that the chef will work with me just like working in the workplace."

……

Winter is approaching, and more and more families are organizing weddings and weddings.

After all, the winter in the north is cold, and as soon as the temperature drops, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in the elderly will increase.

Xu Jichang's business is also getting busier.

As planned in advance, when he took the order, in addition to asking for payment, he began to ask the boss to provide material tickets.

During this period, Xu Jichang hired two more chefs, both of whom were part-time employees working in state-owned units.

And as the scale of his business expanded, the day finally arrived when the paper could no longer contain the fire.

One winter morning, Xu Jichang received a notice from Factory Director Gao, asking him to go to the factory director to handle the matter.

Xu Jichang went in without knowing it. When he arrived, he saw Director Gao leaning on the sofa instead of sitting upright behind his desk as usual.

"May I ask Uncle Gao what your orders are?"

Xu Jichang sat next to him and asked.

"It's no big deal, I just want to ask about your work."

Factory Director Gao waved his hand to signal the secretary to leave, and then his expression became serious, "Jichang, how busy has business been recently?"

Xu Jichang's pupils trembled slightly, and he understood that there were some things that he could no longer hide.

"Just like that, a small fight."

He said nonchalantly, but in his heart he was wondering how Director Gao knew.

That local employee in your department was stabbed out?No, he also took money that time, and if he reported it to the factory, he would have to suffer the consequences.

Did any of the chefs speak loudly?That's even more impossible.I have provided them with an important part-time income, and no one will talk about it in the factory.

Xu Jichang was puzzled, but finally Director Gao made the point.

"Don't be modest, your scale is not small. I had dinner twice this month, and I saw you bringing the chef there."

"The business has been covered to this extent, how can it be a small matter?"

Director Gao shook his head and smiled.

Well, it turns out that’s how he knew it.

"That can't be compared to a real hotel."

Xu Jichang said calmly, "I just hope that Uncle Gao won't tell anyone about this, so that I can keep doing this."

"Why am I talking about this outside?"

Director Gao shrugged, "I just think you kid has some ideas, and you actually started a side business."

Xu Jichang felt a stone fall in his heart.

Since Director Gao said so, it must be safe.

"No one thinks it's too much money."

“As long as it’s reasonable and legal, who doesn’t want to make a little extra money in their spare time?”

Xu Jichang said frankly, "And this business has indeed solved everyone's needs."

"Remember not to affect your job."

Director Gao did not comment on his statement, but simply said, "A side job can only be a side job after all."

"Thank you, Director Gao, I will always do my duty."

Xu Jichang stood up and said solemnly.

Speaking of which, he can be 100% sure that he is safe.At least Director Gao will not interfere with his business operations.

After the conversation, Xu Jichang returned to the office and saw Chen Xiaoen looking at him with a worried look on his face, as if he was hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Xu Jichang said simply.

"Is it okay for the factory director to find you?"

Chen Xiaoen's water-clear and translucent eyes revealed a worried look, "I always feel like it was a bit sudden for him to come to you today."

"Of course it's okay. But I'm curious how you noticed the suddenness."

Xu Jichang was very interested.

"Although Director Gao talks to you from time to time, there is a pattern. Either the factory assigns a major task, or it happens at the end of every month and in the middle of the month."

"It stands to reason that he shouldn't be looking for you today."

Chen Xiaoen explained his reasoning.

"My observation skills are good. He had something to do temporarily today."

Xu Jichang smiled and said, "By the way, are you still used to living in the capital?"

"It's pretty good. I like it here. It's more prosperous than the county town."

Chen Xiaoen's attention was diverted and he replied excitedly, "But my parents still hope that I can go back."

"Oh. Have they found a unit for you over there?"

When Xu Jichang heard what Chen Xiaoen said, his heart skipped a beat.

In the past six months, he has been busy relocating and starting a new business, and he has not had time to continue to develop further with Chen Xiaoen.

It would be a shame if she went back like this in two days.

"We have found a good unit."

Chen Xiaoen smiled and said, "Will you see me off then?"

Xu Jichang adjusted his mood for a while: "Send it off, it's not convenient for you to carry so much luggage alone."

"I can help you then."

"puff."

Chen Xiaoen laughed and lowered his voice, "Are you really willing to give up?"

"So what if you don't want to let go. Everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't force you to stay because of my own feelings."

"Not only that, I also wish you can achieve better development and live a more exciting life after you go back."

Xu Jichang was very frank when he said this, without any pretentiousness.

Parting with joy and sorrow has been difficult since ancient times.

Naturally, he doesn't want the girl next to him to leave him.

But when the day comes, he won't forcefully stop it, as that would be too selfish.

Besides, when the transportation becomes more convenient in the future, I can go to Shanghai to see Chen Xiaoen from time to time without being separated forever.

Chen Xiaoen was moved by Xu Jichang's attitude.

"Your realm is quite high."

Chen Xiaoen covered his mouth and smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, my parents did find a job for me at home."

"But I didn't agree. I said development here in the capital is very good. I like it here."

I see……

Chen Xiaoen was deliberately testing herself.

Xu Jichang breathed a sigh of relief: "What did your parents say? Will they be unhappy?"

"They are okay. My family doesn't pay much attention to whether our children are around. After all, my father went to Nanyang to build the family business when he was young."

"He also encouraged me to work hard here in Beijing and to be brave enough to seize every opportunity."

"The old man has a very high vision."

Xu Jichang nodded and said, "Then what opportunities do you think you have now?"

"and many more."

Chen Xiaoen stood up and closed the office door before returning to his seat to express his thoughts.

"I think our unit has little chance. The stage of major development has passed and there will be no further large-scale expansion."

"The move of the factory to the capital certainly means that the unit as a whole has the opportunity to obtain more development resources. However, it also makes personnel exchanges between the agency and the production department more difficult, and promotion opportunities become more scarce." "It can be seen with the naked eye that our factory wants to To make progress, you can only keep passing qualifications, and I cannot accept this."

Chen Xiaoen stared into Xu Jichang's eyes and said, as if seeking his approval.

Xu Jichang did not express his position, and looked like a smile but not a smile: "You continue to talk."

From the bottom of his heart, he agreed with Chen Xiaoen's point of view: the opportunities for a unit are concentrated in the years when it develops rapidly.

After this village, there is no such shop.

In the future, even if you make contributions and gain recognition, you will have to wait until a seat becomes available before you can make progress.

This girl sees things very clearly.

"My current plan is to observe the capital here to see if there are any opportunities to start a small business of my own."

Chen Xiaoen said, "My parents told me that no business is too small, and any business is accumulated bit by bit."

"Then have you found an opportunity?"

Xu Jichang asked.

"We have found a small opportunity so far."

Chen Xiaoen said enthusiastically, "Repair electrical appliances."

"This business is so small that state-owned units have not even noticed this industry. It is completely blank."

"Although I don't know the technology myself, I can learn it. As long as I work hard, I will be able to master the repair skills."

The vision is fine.

Being able to see the electrical appliance repair market is an unusual feeling.

At present, the electronic products sold by state-owned units, such as radios, are not guaranteed to be repaired within many years, and the quality level is mostly the same.

Many big names in the private electronics industry made their first pot of gold by repairing equipment.

"You have a good vision. Does your family support you in this business?"

Xu Jichang looked at Chen Xiaoen with admiration.

"My family doesn't know yet. I'll tell my parents later."

Chen Xiaoen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What, are you interested?"

"Let's talk after get off work."

At this time, Xu Jichang glanced out the window and said.

The fact that Director Gao was aware of his business operations heightened Xu Jichang's vigilance, causing him to be much more cautious than usual when doing things.

……

In the afternoon, after get off work, Xu Jichang and Chen Xiaoen walked out of the unit and sat down in a teahouse three streets away.

"No one should be eavesdropping here."

After Xu Jichang ordered Hulongjing for [-] cents, he said to Chen Xiaoen, "Do you have a business model planned?"

"Is it pure repair, or half-repair and half-recycling?"

"Part repair and part recycling, this way you can make money faster."

Chen Xiaoen said without hesitation, "Do you want to partner with me?"

"500 yuan is my half share."

Xu Jichang expressed happily.

He had just thought that if Chen Xiaoen only considered the repair business, then there was no need for him to be deeply involved.

Because simple repairs were just piecemeal, Xu Jichang looked down upon them.

But if she also starts a recycling business, then Xu Jichang will be interested.

Recycled used electronic products can be disassembled into intact parts and reassembled, and the profits can be huge.

Seeing Xu Jichang's support, Chen Xiaoen happily raised his tea cup: "Deal."

Xu Jichang also raised his tea cup and took a sip of tea: "Actually, your family is not short of money."

"Why did you invite me to become a shareholder?"

"I want to bind the two of us together."

Chen Xiaoen showed a charming smile and lowered her voice to a minimum, "And it's impossible for us to get married and have children."

"It's impossible to get married, but you can consider having children."

Xu Jichang said seriously.

Chen Xiaoen blushed: "Bah, did I agree?"

Can you have children without getting married?

This somewhat challenges her outlook.

But...since these words came from Xu Jichang's mouth, it's not too surprising...

After saying goodbye to Chen Xiaoen, Xu Jichang took the subway back home and waited for someone from the telecommunications bureau to come to his door.

He spent 8000 yuan a few days ago and made an appointment with someone from the telecommunications bureau to install a phone at his door.

From the perspective of future generations, the price of 8000 yuan is naturally extremely expensive.

But Xu Jichang needs this very much now. His business is gradually growing, and convenient communication is more important to him than anything else.

He can't wait until the price of telephones drops in 30 to [-] years before installing them.

After waiting in the room for about half an hour, the installation master from the telecommunications bureau came over and installed all the telephone lines and landline phones after a lot of work. He also tried it and confirmed that there were no problems.

"Excuse me."

Xu Jichang poured the other party a cup of tea.

If the back is broken, you have to rely on the other party to help repair it.

"No, I'm still in a hurry to go home, thank you."

The master finished speaking and left in a hurry.

Xu Jichang sent the other party to the door and then closed the courtyard door.

At this time Lan Qimei came out of the house: "I'm going to a family to cook the day after tomorrow."

"You have to prepare lunch and dinner by yourself then."

"Well, hard work."

Xu Jichang turned around and said.

"It's not hard. You can earn much more by doing this than cooking at work."

Lan Qimei pursed her lips and smiled, "You still have vision and many ideas."

"What, you want to resign now?"

Xu Jichang asked keenly.

"I kind of want to wait until this year is finished."

"No. You have to do it at least until the middle of next year."

Xu Jichang rarely rejected her idea.

Lan Qimei was puzzled: "Why, what's the explanation here?"

"I have my arrangements, just remember it."

Xu Jichang wanted to say that Director Gao already knew about their business, and if Lan Qimei resigned at this time, he would be suspected of poaching.

But when the words came to his lips, Xu Jichang felt that saying such things would make Lan Qimei worried, so he simply didn't mention it.

Lan Qimei nodded silently without saying a word.

After being with Xu Jichang for so long, Xu Jichang's image in her mind has become extremely tall.

Since Xu Jichang said it, then he should do it.

……

After get off work the next day, Xu Jichang and Chen Xiaoen sat in the teahouse again.

"Well, here it is for you."

After drinking tea for a while, Xu Jichang took out a stack of envelopes from his pocket and handed it to Chen Xiaoen, "This is my principal."

Chen Xiaoen took the heavy envelope and said, "Well, I'm reading a textbook on repair knowledge."

"I'll contact the neighborhood committee or something for you later. See if we can open a repair point at their office. At the worst, we'll pay them the rent."

Xu Jichang said calmly, "This way the passenger flow can be larger."

"That's a good way."

Chen Xiaoen said excitedly, "It is equivalent to getting the endorsement of the neighborhood committee at the same time, and everyone's trust will be higher."
