Chapter 621: Inertial thinking, the gap between the couple
As everyone ate and talked, they naturally couldn't avoid talking about work, and they all had a lot of complaints when they mentioned it.
"Sister Zhu, there are too few leaders like you who are responsible and willing to stand up for their subordinates. Our company's leader not only makes things difficult for us, but also embezzles our performance and says that it is normal for us to get a share of the profits because we completed the work under his guidance."
"Our company's headquarters is in Beijing. He controls the communication channels between the upper and lower levels. There is nothing we can do."
Yu Chuhui took over the conversation, "He Minhong, what's yours? Basically, many companies are like this."
"Our company leader is even more disgusting. Our team worked so hard on the project and everything seemed to be ready, but he just signed his name and took all the credit. He even pocketed the bonus for the patent."
Ye Zhenzhen was a little surprised, "No, your leader is so excessive, isn't there anyone to take care of it?"
"In companies like ours, everyone has a stable job. The salary is not high but there are a lot of things to do. Most of the leaders have connections in higher-ups. Even if we want to file a complaint, we may not be able to find them. We may even end up getting punished..."
"Since you are not happy with your job, you might as well change jobs. With the reputation of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, it won't be hard to find a job."
Yu Chuhui took the opportunity to put forward his own ideas, "Zhenzhen, I'm really not interested in being an engineer. Well, you have a wide network of contacts, can you help me keep an eye out and see if there is a job suitable for me?"
"This..." Ye Zhenzhen hesitated, "Ah Chu, you studied optics, and none of my relatives do anything related to this."
"Actually, even if I'm not a professional, I can still give it a try." Yu Chuhui explained a little embarrassedly, "I just want to find a high-end working environment with a salary level that is higher than the average."
Looking at Yu Chuhui's appearance, Chen An couldn't help laughing.
Yu Chuhui said coquettishly, "Brother Chen, what are you laughing at? I know my idea is a little unrealistic, but didn't they say that we should always have dreams?"
Ye Zhenzhen was under the table and nudged Chen An with her leg to remind him.
"Achu, from what you said, it's not hard to tell that you're not simply dissatisfied with your career as an engineer, but because you've put in a lot but received little, so you feel unbalanced, right?"
"About the same. Compared with the same industry, our company's salary is almost the same, if not the lowest. If I didn't have a collective household registration, I wouldn't have chosen to work here."
In the original drama, it wouldn't be long before Yu Chuhui's colleagues would take her with them to change jobs. At this time, Chen An naturally wouldn't mind and would try to gain some favorability.
"Achu, let me ask you, what is the biggest advantage of having a residence permit in the Magic City?"
Yu Chuhui opened his mouth and said, "Of course it's buying a house, education resources, and retirement."
Chen An spread his hands and looked at Yu Chuhui, "Then may I ask, at this stage, what use is a Shanghai hukou to you?"
"Huh?" Yu Chuhui was also stunned. After thinking about it carefully, it was true. He couldn't afford to buy a house, and he didn't even have a boyfriend to educate him. Even if he got married and had children in the future, it would take at least seven or eight years before he needed educational resources. By that time, he would be eligible for settlement through the points system.
As for retirement, I am only twenty-three, so I still have a few decades to go.
"Hey, handsome Chen, I have to toast you. I've been led astray by my habitual thinking..."
Chen An waved his hand and continued to guide, "Achu, have you ever thought about what you desire most at the moment?"
Hearing this, Yu Chuhui felt somewhat melancholy. "Well, actually, I just want to make money, bring my mother here to live, and provide for her in her old age. However, with my current income level, the money I save can't keep up with the rising speed of housing prices. This is just a goal."
"Let me do the math for you. According to your idea, apart from marrying someone who is stupid and rich, there is only one way left. Find a job with an annual salary of around one million. After working hard for a few years, you should be able to take out a loan to buy a property in Shanghai."
Yu Chuhui had a face full of resentment, "Brother Chen, your words are too discouraging. I dare not even think about a million-dollar annual salary. If I could have a job with a four hundred thousand-dollar annual salary, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Chen An shrugged and smiled without saying anything, and continued eating.
With Yu Chuhui's intelligence, he will figure it out himself, and if I say too much, it's inevitable that people will think too much...
Yu Chuhui almost got hurt from holding back. He had originally thought of bringing it up to see if there was a suitable job, but now it seemed impossible. After all, he had just asked Zhenzhen for help, which was already a bit presumptuous. If he asked Chen An for help, that would be too...
Ye Zhenzhen took over the conversation and said, "How about this, Ah Chu, give me a copy of your resume later and I'll keep an eye out for you."
"Thank you so much, Zhenzhen..."
Lucy hardly spoke the entire time, only occasionally interjecting a few words, and no one was surprised by this. After all, although they had not known each other for a long time, in the eyes of everyone, she was a cool and beautiful woman with a chivalrous air.
She had been observing everyone, with her focus on Chen An. She found that Chen An and the others were very nice. They were not simply friendly, but seemed to have some unknown purpose.
As the saying goes, behind every kindness, there is an unknown intention. For the time being, Lucy can't figure out Chen An's purpose, but she has become more vigilant.
On the other hand, Gu Jia invited Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu to a banquet today. In name, it was a housewarming party, but in reality, it was a subtle way of telling Chen Yu that her bestie was pregnant.
Chen Yu was stunned when he heard the news. What the hell? His wife was pregnant, and as an investor, he was not as well-informed as outsiders. However, because Gu Jia's family was present, he did not react directly.
It’s just that he is a man who can’t keep things to himself, and he felt extremely depressed during the meal.
This made Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan extremely puzzled.
From Gu Jia's perspective, her best friend's pregnancy is naturally a good thing. They are almost 30 years old, and the timing of having a child is just right.
Moreover, Zhong Xiaoqin's income is not bad, Chen Yu's income is not low, and Zhong Xiaoqin's parents can both help out. Even if there is pressure, it should not be too big. It is better than taking the risk of having an abortion.
After dinner, on the way home from Grand Hyatt Mansion, Chen Yu had a gloomy face the whole time, suppressing the anger in his heart.
Zhong Xiaoqin felt that she had lost face today and was very angry, so the two of them started arguing before they even got home.
"Chen Yu, what do you mean? You kept a cold face the whole time. They all meant well. Why do you have to be so harsh?"
Chen Yu parked the car on the side of the road, turned around and glared at Zhong Xiaoqin, questioning, "How dare you ask me that you are pregnant? As the father of the child, I was the last to know the news. Is this a warm-up today? I think this is more like forcing the emperor to abdicate."
Zhong Xiaoqin felt very aggrieved. Ever since people in the company found out she was pregnant yesterday, many people congratulated her, and no one supported her in doing this or that. She could be considered to be enjoying the preferential treatment for a pregnant woman.
Although the two had agreed not to have children within five years of marriage, Gu Gu was right. It was all fate and it was not something that was planned at all. She thought that by using the happy atmosphere of her best friend's home, she could let Chen Yu feel it and maybe he would agree. She didn't expect to get this kind of attitude in return.
"I just want to ask you one question, do you want this child or not..."
Seeing Zhong Xiaoqin's tearful eyes, Chen Yu's anger subsided a lot, and he felt a little guilty. But when he thought about his current situation, he felt that his leader was somewhat dissatisfied with him and was making things difficult for him everywhere.
Zhong Xiaoqin is a child who has not grown up. She runs back home whenever he is on a business trip and rarely does housework. If she has a child, she will have to go back to the life she had as a child, which will be even more difficult. He is very resistant to the thought of it.
"Xiaoqin, didn't we agree not to have children within five years of marriage? This happened too suddenly, and we are not prepared at all. Let's wait two days. We will go to the hospital tomorrow..."
"Stop, I understand what you mean. Let's go to the hospital tomorrow and have the child aborted." After saying this, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't hold back any longer. She turned her head to the window, tears falling like a kite with a broken string.
Chen Yu felt bad too. He wanted to comfort the child but didn't know how to start. He could only say that the child came at the wrong time.
