Chapter 33: Make plans early
"Sir, can I see your business card?"

The secretaries all felt that Li Kang was a little rude. "We all took the initiative to hand over our business cards, but you are not a big shot, so why don't you give us your business card?"

My expectations for Li Kang dropped a point or two.

"Sorry, I don't have a business card. You can just call me Li Kang."

Several secretaries looked at each other, somewhat unable to believe it.

Not even a business card? Is there such a translation?
"Did you just graduate?" They were not sure either, mainly because Li Kang looked too young.

“Do you have a resume?”

……

“No graduation, no resume.”

Not graduated? They all thought Li Kang was a college student. "Which university did you go to?"

"I didn't go to college." Li Kang replied simply.

Chen Xu felt fortunate, "Fortunately this kid is honest. Just wait for the consequences. Good things are delivered to your door, but you can't accept them."

I couldn't help but envy Li Kang for having so many people looking for him.

If he could cooperate with the company behind this group of people, his income this year could double again.

Sure enough, when the secretaries of those big companies heard that Li Kang had never been to college and had no resume, their interest faded a lot.

He left the scene on his own initiative.

Chen Xu saw that his opportunity had come and took the initiative to follow.

"Hey, wait, we can work together."

Chen Xu handed each of these people a business card, and the resume he mentioned before was also very good.

Many secretaries accepted it anyway, saying, "Okay, we'll contact you if we have any needs." At least five secretaries accepted his business cards.

This could mean thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in income in the future.

The prices offered by big companies are very high. And Chen Xu has bargaining power.

One thousand an hour is just his minimum standard.

Every additional customer he has will bring him more income.

There is no shortage of opportunities for exchanges between China and foreign countries in Shanghai today.

What is most lacking is capable simultaneous interpreters.

There were still a few people from small companies in the private room who were reluctant to leave.

They don't care much about Li Kang's educational background.

I know that the price I offer is not as good as that of big companies.

If Li Kang really had a very good resume and outstanding abilities, they might not be able to afford to pay him a salary.

The current Li Kang just meets their standards.

"Mr. Li, we value your ability very much and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you."

Li Kang gave out his pager number. In fact, these smaller companies were his target.

Big companies place a lot of emphasis on academic background. He has nothing, and if he tries to get a job by force, he will only leave others hanging.

In fact, the money offered by these small companies is not much lower, and they also attach great importance to him.

Only one or two companies were given out.

There are too many and he can’t handle them all.

"I'm sorry, I don't have much time, so I can only accept one or two invitations."

The others who didn't answer the call quickly found Chen Xu.

Chen Xu never refuses anyone who comes.

With a dozen invitations in hand, he returned to the private room humming a little tune happily.

He asked Li Kang with some pride: "Li Kang, how many invitations have you accepted?"

"Two, I'll be too busy if there are more." "Only two? You have the ability, make more money while you're young. This is the best time for us foreign language graduates. Talent is in short supply, and we can't do without it. In a few years, there will be more and more foreign language students graduating, and this market won't exist anymore."

Li Kangxin said: "I have many ways to make money. There is no need to spend too much time on translating one thing."

Besides, he hasn’t even found his father yet, so he can’t focus on making money.

The obsession of his predecessor has been affecting him.

If this problem is not solved, you will never have peace of mind.

Fortunately, while they were eating, the telephone lines in the Shimen Road area were finally reconnected.

When it was Liu Guangqing's turn to make a phone call, Grandma Cai ran over, panting, and said, "The phone at home has been repaired. Go home and make the call."

When the other people in the queue heard the news, they dispersed.

The number of people lining up in front of the store to make phone calls suddenly dropped by 90%.

Liu Guangqing was so angry.

Well, he waited in line for two or three hours in the morning, and when it was his turn, it was already repaired.

I had cursed the person who cut the phone line maliciously countless times in my heart.

"Go back and have a meal first and then call their parents."

"Whose parents are you going to call first?" the old woman asked.

"The first thing I called this morning was Meixia's father. The call was already connected, but then this happened. I thought about it and decided to contact Guo Yixing's father first. After all, the child is missing now, and the police are also helping to contact his father."

Granny Cai looked at the old man with some complaints, "Are you stupid? Guo Yixing's disappearance is related to our Liu Lang. If you tell his father first, what if he blames our grandson?"

After hearing what the old woman said, Liu Guangqing also began to hesitate.

"Go back first."

Chen Lijuan had already prepared the meal and was waiting for her mother-in-law to call her father-in-law back so that they could start eating.

Shanghainese who live on Shimen Road also live a frugal life.

The daily food is still vegetables, tofu, pickles, not much meat.

Their income is enough to support themselves with meat every day. Just from renting out the bungalow, they can earn one or two hundred yuan a month.

It’s just that their meals are much better when there are children at home.

The lean meat was left in the refrigerator, and Chen Lijuan didn't dare to take it out to cook without the two elderly people's permission.

"Lijuan, how much money did you give Liu Jun when they left?" asked Grandma Cai.

"Three thousand dollars."

When the two old men heard this, they put down their chopsticks and asked, "When did you become so generous?"

"Three thousand yuan is enough for the two of you to earn for several months."

"Isn't my nephew your only grandson? I, as his aunt, can't be stingy." Chen Lijuan said nonchalantly.

When Liu Jun left, Granny Cai only gave him 2,000 yuan to buy a TV, and she didn't give him a penny for the rest of the clothes.

In fact, the idea was to test the couple's attitude towards their grandson.

Hearing that Chen Lijuan gave so much, Liu Guangqing was very happy. He said calmly:

"It's not easy for you two to save money. You will need to buy a house in the future, and the housing prices in Shanghai are not cheap now. We two old people will give you 1500 yuan back to relieve your pressure."

Chen Lijuan quickly declined, "Mom and Dad, no need. Liu Lang is also my relative, I don't feel bad at all for spending money on him."

In fact, she was still unhappy. Liu Jun asked her for three thousand and she really gave it to him.

The moment I gave it away, I felt a little regretful.

One hand quietly touched her belly, "It's all Liu Jun's fault. We've been married for several years, but we haven't even had a child."

If they had a child, the two old guys' expressions would definitely be much better.

Granny Cai looked at Chen Lijuan and said earnestly, "You two should also try hard to have a baby soon. You have been married for several years, but there is still no sign of pregnancy. Why don't you take some time to go to the hospital for a checkup?"

Chen Lijuan also had this idea. If there was really something wrong with Liu Jun, she would
