Chapter 166 Richmond Company Opens
Chapter 166 Richmond Company Opens
Time flies like a white horse passing by, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed quietly.
Chen Xi was holding an opening ceremony in front of a two-story building. Under the repeated urging of Ho and Tran, he had no choice but to open the company in Richmond ahead of schedule.
As Sihai's cleaning business was progressing well, the two were very jealous after visiting Sihai and wanted to help their fellow countrymen from Yueguo solve their employment problems.
Today, Gouzi is dressed in fancy clothes. As the manager of the Richmond area, he knows that he has a heavy responsibility. He knows that Chen Xi's trust in him is priceless, so he will never let him down.
Gouzi was carefully examining the group of new employees in front of him. Most of them were Vietnamese, all selected by Tran after strict screening.
Chen Xi had very clear requirements for recruitment: clean hands and feet, hardworking, and possessing certain skills. Tran strictly followed these requirements in the selection process to ensure that all new employees met the standards.
In addition to the Vietnamese, there is also a small number of new employees who are Chinese living in Richmond.
Since the last incident, Tran has temporarily reached a settlement with Brother Feng.
The dispute between them was mainly about money. As long as the money issue was resolved, the conflict between the two sides would naturally be resolved.
Gouzi carefully evaluated and communicated with the new employees to ensure that they understood the company's rules and regulations and job requirements. They were also encouraged to ask questions and make suggestions so that they could better integrate into the team and adapt to the new working environment.
Chen Xi looked at the group of Yue employees in front of him. They had dark skin and their work clothes were somewhat untidy, giving people a weird feeling, like monkeys wearing vests.
He couldn't help but wonder if these people were up to the job, but since these employees were hired by Tran and Ho, they would definitely be responsible for managing and resolving any problems.
This small building was bought by Chen Xi, and the money was naturally obtained by loan. Smith from ANZ handled the matter very quickly, probably because he wanted to get a promotion. Chen Xi now has a regular cash flow, as well as Internet cafes and Sihai and other businesses, so it was very convenient for him to apply for a loan.
If you buy this building, when Richmond is redeveloped into a wealthy area, the house will definitely appreciate in value, and you can then sell it and make some money.
"Are the same two sisters from last time here tonight?" Ho walked over to Chen Xi, patted him on the shoulder gently, with a teasing expression on his face, his thoughts were self-evident.
"What two sisters?" Dongdong and Xiaoming looked at Chen Xi suspiciously.
"Hey, nothing..." Chen Xi coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Dongdong sneered.
"Come on, we had some conflicts last time. I heard that you like boxing, and I like it too. I'll treat you tonight and arrange two girls for you." Tran hooked his arms around Dongdong's neck enthusiastically, looking as if he regretted meeting her too late.
Originally Dong Dong had no intention of reconciling with Tran, but when he heard that there was a girl accompanying him, he immediately changed his attitude and became friends with Tran.
The tension between the two men dissipated instantly, replaced by laughter and mutual teasing.
"By the way, how did you solve the problem with the fruit shop last time?" Chen Xi was not familiar with Brother Feng, but since the other party came here to show his support, he couldn't ignore him, so he found a topic to chat with him.
"I've changed to selling flowers." Brother Feng said awkwardly. As a person that the Chinese in Richmond rely on, he felt ashamed that he couldn't protect the interests of his compatriots.
"That's great. They are all plants and it's best for them to live in harmony." Chen Xi laughed and said the second half of the sentence to Brother Feng. He hoped that there would be no conflicts on both sides.
The conversation between the two gradually deepened and they shared some of each other's experiences and insights.
Brother Feng gradually let go of his worries and started to have a chat with Chen Xi.
The atmosphere gradually became harmonious, as if we were old friends.
"Brother Gou, Brother Gou, we are going to be rich this time." Ergou and Sangou looked at the employees with beaming faces, as excited as if they were the bosses.
"Work hard, we're already on the aircraft carrier and will take off soon." Gou Zi encouraged his two younger brothers. Now he looks like a leader.
Looking back to a few months ago, he was still doing the heavy and dirty moving work, being soaked in stinky sweat every day, and the smell on his body was unbearable.
Today, his status has undergone a radical change, becoming the head of a regional company, a speed that makes him feel like he is in a dream.
Gou Zi is actually a very ambitious person, and the fact that he was able to achieve such great success in his previous life proves this.
Before, he had always dreamed of starting his own business and becoming his own boss, hoping to be able to independently control his own destiny.
Now he began to re-examine his ideas and thought that serving as Chen Xi's deputy would be a pretty good choice.
"Brother Gou, aircraft carriers can't fly. I have packed my luggage and will be living and eating in the company recently." Ergou reported.
"I've already told you not to call me that in front of outsiders. Call me by my English name. Some of the Vietnamese here may understand. Do you want them to call me Dog every day in the future?"
Gouzi pulled Ergou aside and whispered.
"Boss, your English name is the same as that of an NBA player. Every time I watch a game, I want to curse that guy. I can't just call you James B." Ergou said aggrievedly. He was used to the catchphrase now, and Ergou really couldn't change the name.
Late at night, in a booth at RICHMOND nightclub.
Chen Xi and others sat together, holding wine glasses in their hands, talking about each other's lives and future plans.
They were accompanied by several beautiful, sexy and charming Vietnamese women who poured wine and lit cigarettes for them from time to time, and the atmosphere seemed relaxed and pleasant.
Xiao Ming and Dong Dong seemed a little uncomfortable. Although they had been to nightclubs before, they felt a little uneasy when facing these two sexy women.
They didn't dare look each other in the eye, but just lowered their heads to drink, occasionally looking up at the lively scene in the center of the dance floor.
The music in the middle of the dance floor was deafening, and a group of young people were dancing crazily, their bodies twisting to the rhythm, their faces filled with expressions of joy and excitement.
The colorful lights cast mottled shadows on them, as if a group of happy elves were dancing in the night sky.
Dongdong and Xiaoming seem out of place here, like strange beings from another world.
When they saw Chen Xi and others drinking with the women beside them, they felt an inexplicable anxiety in their hearts.
The two men looked at each other, mustered up their courage, and gently extended their hands to the woman beside them.
The two women, who were originally feeling depressed because of being ignored, immediately changed their attitudes when they felt two hesitant hands touching them.
They narrowed their eyes and raised a mischievous smile, as if to say, "You two little guys finally dare to make a move."
These two new guys are like naive little white rabbits in front of these experienced women, making people want to tease them.
Soon, with the help of alcohol and the guidance of the two women, Dongdong and Xiaoming also became proficient in their work.
"I wish our business will grow bigger and bigger!" Ho and Tran took the lead in raising their glasses, everyone clinked their glasses, tilted their heads back and drank.
Gou Zi has dark skin and looks like someone from the south, close to the Yue State, but in fact, he is a genuine northern man.
Gou Zi had a very pleasant chat with Ho and the others. Perhaps it was because of Gou Zi's appearance that made them feel somewhat familiar with him.
Several people were drinking and chatting happily, and all they talked about was taking care of each other.
Tian Gou was in a very happy mood at the moment. His recent hard work had finally paid off. His boss's appreciation of him made him a lot more financially secure.
In order to repay the customer's trust, he even cleaned the toilet in the customer's home until it was almost smoking. This meticulous service spirit is awe-inspiring.
Today, he excitedly took his long-saved salary to the city center and bought a bag.
Although the price of this bag is not expensive, it means a lot to Tian Gou, as it is more than one month's salary for him.
The moment he got the bag, his heart beat faster, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
He imagined the scene of confessing his love to Li Yuqing, and his heart was filled with anticipation and excitement.
It was a bitterly cold winter night in Burwood, but Tian Gou was hiding in a corner downstairs of Li Yuqing's apartment, persistently dialing her number.
He did not choose to enter the warm hall to avoid the cold because he wanted to give Li Yuqing a special surprise.
However, there was no answer from the other end of the phone, which made Tian Gou feel increasingly heavy-hearted, and filled with loss and anxiety.
He kept rubbing his hands, trying to dispel the coldness in his body, while also hoping that the call would be connected soon.
However, as time passed, there was still no response on the phone, and Tian Gou's heart gradually grew cold.
Just when Tian Gou was about to lose confidence and prepare to leave sadly, a black car slowly stopped on the side of the road near the apartment.
"Thank you for taking me back, Eric." Li Yuqing smiled sweetly at the man in the driver's seat.
"Yuqing, be my girlfriend." Eric suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Yuqing's small hand tightly. His body was so close to her that he could even feel her body temperature.
Eric's mouth was slightly pouting, as if waiting for her response. This intimate gesture caught Li Yuqing off guard.
"Let me think about it. I'll go back first." Li Yuqing tried her best to break free from Eric's hand and cleverly avoided his further attacks.
She heard the car door slam open and quickly jumped out of the car.
She rubbed her hands vigorously on her body, as if trying to wipe away some disgusting touch.
In her hands she held tightly several luxury bags, which were the gifts Eric gave her today.
However, Li Yuqing had already planned to sell them in a few days to repay Tian Gou's debt.
After all, she really didn't want Tian Gou to stick to her like a dog-skin plaster.
"You bitch, why are you pretending to be innocent? You've probably been played with by others a long time ago." Eric angrily punched the steering wheel hard in the car.
He widened his eyes, watching Li Yuqing's back getting farther and farther away, and stepped hard on the accelerator. The car made a deafening roar and quickly disappeared into the night.
The roar of the car seemed to vent his inner dissatisfaction, filling the air with a depressing atmosphere.
Tian Gou was extremely excited at the moment. All he could see was the goddess walking towards the apartment door, and he completely ignored the car she had been riding in before.
He couldn't wait to rush out from the corner of the apartment, hoping to give Li Yuqing a surprise.
However, his sudden appearance scared Li Yuqing so much that the luxury bags in her hands fell to the ground.
Looking at Tian Gou in front of her, Li Yuqing's face showed a complex expression, which included fear of being frightened, disgust at Tian Gou's endless entanglement, and a hint of deep loss.
This complex emotion was intertwined on her face, making it difficult to interpret.
