Chapter 6 An Chen's Graduation Ceremony
"Chenchen, it was your father who hurt you. You studied so well, but you lost the chance to go to college." Anchen's father lay on the bed, sighing and feeling guilty.
"Ever since I got this disease, my body has collapsed. The whole family has relied on your mother's salary. Now that she is gone, the family has collapsed." At this point, Father An's eyes became even redder. .He held back tears and looked at An Chen's thin figure busy in the kitchen with great affection.
"Dad, don't say that. I am still in this family! I have already celebrated my birthday and am an adult. From now on, I will take care of this family!" An Chen comforted his father on the hospital bed and told him what he had just said. The cooked noodles were brought over.
"Chenchen, you don't have a college diploma. It's hard to find a job in today's society! You said you didn't take the college entrance examination and didn't discuss it with me, so you just made your own decision. You kid, how can you have such an idea!" An Dad's complaining tone contained regret, distress, and even more self-blame.
"Dad, it's just a diploma. I believe gold will always shine. As long as you have the ability, you can do well anywhere!" An Chen said while feeding his father noodles.
"Then what are your plans next?" An's father asked with concern.
Looking at his haggard father on the hospital bed, An Chen fell into deep thought.Yes, if I leave, who will take care of my father?If you just stay at home like this and count on the little savings left by your mother, you will soon be in vain.
Zhizi Mo Ruofu, seeing An Chen not talking, his father quickly said: "Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself. There is a washing machine at home, I can wash clothes, and I can use a cane to eat."
"Dad, I will definitely make money to take you to the best hospital, see the best doctor, and restore your body to its previous state!" An Chen secretly made up his mind to cure his father's disease no matter what.
"Chenchen, remember your father's words and be careful when you go out. Today's society is very complicated and there are many temptations. You are only 18 years old. You must learn to be an upright person from the beginning. You must not mess up your mind and take the wrong path. . A gentleman loves money, gets it in a wise way, and makes a living based on his ability. Dad doesn’t ask you to be rich, I only ask you to have a clear conscience." Dad An warned him sincerely.
"Yeah!" An Chen nodded heavily.
Early the next morning, An Chen prepared breakfast for the two of them, ate it in a hurry, and then took the luggage and got on the bus to the provincial capital.
When he arrived in the provincial capital, he first found a place to live and settled down, and then went to the job fair.
For several days, I couldn't find a suitable job.That afternoon, An Chen was eating steamed buns and walking aimlessly on the road.
Suddenly, he saw a car speeding in front of him, and not far away there was a little girl of four or five years old squatting in the middle of the road, playing with something attentively.An Chen didn't care so much, he rushed over, picked up the little girl, and rolled them onto the sidewalk together.At this time, cars were whizzing past.
"Oh, my little ancestor scared mom to death!" At this time, the little girl's mother, who happened to see the scene just now, rushed over and hugged the girl tightly in her arms.
The little girl was obviously frightened by the scene just now, and then she burst into tears! "Mom——" When An Chen saw this scene, he suddenly thought of his mother who had just died unexpectedly, and felt sad in his heart.
"Auntie, it's okay. Take good care of your sister and don't let her run around again." After saying that, he turned and left.
A burst of pain hit him, and An Chen realized that his arm was bleeding and his calf seemed to be twisted.
"Wait a minute, young man, it was all thanks to you just now." The little girl's mother saw the steamed bun in An Chen's hand, "Well, my home is nearby. If you don't mind, go to your aunt's house and she will cook for you. eat."
"No need to bother, Auntie, I'm leaving first." An Chen said while blocking the injured arm with his hand.
Seeing this, the aunt stepped forward: "Oh! You're bleeding! Let's go! Auntie will take you to the hospital!" Without any explanation, the little girl's mother took the girl's hand with one hand and dragged An Chen towards an Audi A6 parked nearby. .
"Husband, I went to the Third Hospital beforehand. Tell Director Liu that I will take a child to see the emergency room."
"It's not Nannan. There was an accident just now. A boy saved Nannan and was injured... Well, okay, okay, I will tell him. Hang up first."
After making the call, Nannan's mother drove An Chen and Nannan to the Third Hospital.
After being bandaged and discharged from the hospital, Nannan's mother said to An Chen: "Director Liu just said it was a skin injury and no bones were injured. Don't worry. It's all thanks to you today. I really got through it. It's so late. I'll treat you to dinner." Well, there is a restaurant nearby that tastes very good, I’ll take you there!”
"Thank you in advance, auntie." After all this trouble, An Chen, who had not eaten lunch, was already very hungry and could no longer be polite.
The three of them came to the restaurant and sat down.
"You can order whatever you want, you're welcome." Nannan's mother handed the menu to An Chen.
An Chen opened it and saw, oh, they are so expensive!An Chen said secretly.
After choosing a cheap dish, he handed the menu to Nannan's mother: "Auntie, what do you two want to eat?"
Nannan's mother took the menu and handed it to the waiter. Then she said a few dish names that An Chen had never heard of before asking An Chen: "What did you order just now?"
An Chen said: "Potato shreds."
Nannan’s mother smiled and added to the waiter: “Another order of shredded potatoes.”
Seeing Nannan's mother ordering dishes as if she were reciting names from a book, An Chen guessed that they must be regular customers who come here often.
Nannan's mother looked at An Chen and asked with a smile: "How old are you?"
"Just celebrated my birthday."
"There are no classes today? Why are you outside alone?"
"Auntie, I...I graduated from high school. Due to family reasons, I didn't go to college." After saying this, An Chen lowered his head.
Nannan's mother noticed An Chen's embarrassment and stopped asking any more questions.
After a while, the food came, and Nannan's mother hurriedly went to Luo Anchen to eat.
"Xiaochen, what are you doing in the provincial capital?" Nannan's mother knew his name because of a trip to the hospital.
"I came to the provincial capital to find a job."
"did you find it?"
"not yet……"
"Oh, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. There was a traffic jam on the road, so I hurried and hurried slowly, and finally I got here!" While he was talking, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came over, apologizing and standing next to him. Nannan sat down.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Nannan's father, Uncle Song." Nannan's mother pointed at the middle-aged man to introduce An Chen, then turned around and told Nannan's father: "This is our daughter's savior, Xiaochen."
"Hello, Uncle Song!"
"Hello, Xiaochen, thank you very much. What a talented person! The young man is so energetic!"
An Chen felt a little embarrassed to be praised by Uncle Song like this.
After the introductions were completed, Nannan's mother briefly told Mr. Song about Anchen's situation.
"Well, what about me! I have opened a company and am doing real estate business. If Xiaochen doesn't mind, you can come to work in our company. What do you think?" Mr. Song admired Anchen's bravery and wanted to help him from the bottom of his heart. A handful of this handsome young guy.
"Really! Thank you so much, Uncle Song! Let me offer you a cup of tea instead of wine." After hearing Uncle Song's invitation, An Chen was overjoyed and quickly picked up the tea cup and drank it all.
"You're welcome, it's our whole family who should be thanking you. You are our savior. We are just the apple of our eye. If something happens, why don't you take my life, Lao Song!" After Nannan's father said, He also picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
After a pleasant meal, the sky also darkened.Nannan's parents insisted on sending An Chen back, so An Chen had no choice but to obey.
"I live near University H. You can just take me to University H and I'll walk back by myself."
"Brother, why do you live there?" Nannan asked An Chen.
"Because my brother wants to take self-study exams for college! If you live nearby, you can attend classes and go to the library to read. My brother likes reading the most!" An Chen chatted with Nannan.
When Nannan's parents heard their chat, they appreciated and liked the young man in front of them even more.
"Xiaochen, what kind of books do you like to read?" Mr. Song asked.
"I read some books in all fields, but I prefer biographies and economic books."
"Uncle, there are many economic books in front of you. When you go to work, I will lend you some to read, and we can also communicate."
"Thank you so much uncle!"
"No need to be polite to me, just think of me as your uncle." Mr. Song said with a smile.
In August 2003, the state issued the "Notice on Promoting the Sustained and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market", referred to as Document No. 8, which clearly regarded real estate as a pillar industry of the national economy.This was an important turning point in China's economy and society. Since then, China's real estate industry has ushered in a magnificent golden development period.
Mr. Song, whose original name is Song Mingzhi.He is the boss of Shangpin Real Estate Company. Although the company is not big, it has caught up with the good times. The company's sales performance has been rising steadily and it is prosperous.
"The sales volume of the real estate has increased significantly this time, and it was sold out as soon as it opened. Now the company has decided to reward several employees with outstanding performance." Mr. Song stood on the award podium and spoke happily.
"An Chen, as a new member of the company, down-to-earth and with outstanding performance, he was officially promoted to supervisor. In addition, he received a bonus of 1 yuan!" After Mr. Song finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.
An Chen walked towards the stage with a smile on his face.
He received the certificate of honor for outstanding employees from Mr. Song. An Chen excitedly expressed his gratitude and bowed deeply to his colleagues in the audience.
"Thank you to the company for giving me this platform, thank you to Mr. Song for his cultivation and appreciation, and thank you to all my colleagues for their long-term guidance and help..."
Song Mingzhi looked at An Chen, who was new to the stage but spoke and behaved generously, and his love for talents was particularly strong.The first time he saw this young man, he knew that he would definitely not be mediocre in the future.Not long after An Chen came to the company, he made another secret observation and found that An Chen was indeed a rare business wizard.Song Mingzhi is a man with great ambitions, but he is suffering from the difficulty of recruiting talented people to take the lead in his company.An Chen's appearance obviously changed his mind.
But An Chen seems to want to go to college more, or as long as the conditions are met, he will return to the nest.Song Mingzhi knew that if An Chen wanted to go to college, he would go to a prestigious school.Recently, the country has just introduced an interest-free policy for scholarships, and it is impossible for An Chen not to be excited.Of course, if he wanted to show his compassion, it would not be difficult for him to pay for An Chen's college tuition.But Song Mingzhi was a businessman after all. He knew that if An Chen finished college, his small temple would not be able to afford the Buddha.In order to firmly capture An Chen for his own use, he would never let An Chen go to college.
