Chapter 279 I never consider money when making friends

"Hurry up, I still have to paint when I come back!" Zhou Hanxue picked up the shopping basket reluctantly and waved to Chen Xi.

She studied art painting at Qinhuai, and it was quite difficult to find a job after graduation from this major.

Zhou Wenbin originally planned to arrange a job for his granddaughter, but now that he saw Chen Xi, he had an idea. He thought it would be better to send his granddaughter to work in Chen Xi's company directly, so that he, as a consultant, could take better care of her.

"I knew you wouldn't come to our house for no reason. You came here to discuss business."

"No, I always come here to wish Grandpa Zhou a happy new year."

As soon as he went out, Zhou Hanxue looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Chen Xi couldn't figure out why this woman had always disliked him since she was a child.

"Did that damn woman Zhao Lingshan also study with you in Tu'ao?"

"Shanshan is in Xi Village, and I am in Mo Village."

On the way to the vegetable market, Zhou Hanxue asked Chen Xi several questions in a row, most of which were related to Zhao Lingshan.

When they were young, they were always bickering and even fighting. If Chen Xi hadn't intervened, they would probably have both been beaten to a bloody pulp.

"Why are you always so hostile to Shanshan? And can you be a little more polite to me? You won't even be able to find a boyfriend if you continue like this."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Zhou Hanxue kicked angrily, but the nimble Chen Xi dodged it.

This woman has an even worse temper than Jin Nana!

Now that I think about it, that little stick still feels very gentle.

Chen Xi compared the two women in his mind. If Jin Nana was a mild hot pepper, then Jin Nana would only be medium spicy.

Zhou Hanxue is a very hot-tempered person. She probably thinks she is superior to others because her grandfather was a leader.

After all, Su Province was one of the richest provinces in the country. When her grandfather was on duty, the guests who came to visit her home must have been of high status. She was used to seeing big shots, so she had a natural sense of superiority.

"Why did you buy so many peppers!" In the vegetable market, Zhou Hanxue took a bunch of peppers and put them into the basket.

We are all from the south of the Yangtze River, and we hardly ever see chili peppers in our food.

"It's so spicy that you'll die of it. It's so spicy that you'll die of it!" Zhou Hanxue was still angry about what happened just now. She kept muttering to herself, which made Chen Xi want to laugh.

"Then take your time shopping. I'll go shopping nearby."

He smiled and walked towards the shop on the side.

This is where the fruit is sold, and he wants to see if his kindergarten classmates are here.

After a few steps, Chen Xi saw a dark-skinned, tall and thin young man sitting in front of the fruit shop in a daze.

The young man's name was Xu Sheng, his parents were both fruit vendors, and judging from his current appearance, he might have taken over the family business.

Chen Xi sighed inwardly, thinking that if people like them who run small businesses in the vegetable market don’t bravely go out and try their luck, they may never be able to achieve social class advancement in their lifetime.

"Buying fruit? Just take whatever you want." When Xu Sheng saw someone coming, he didn't even raise his head, but just pointed to the fruit stall next to him.

"Hey, Xu Sheng. It's me, Chen Xi." Having not seen each other for many years, he still missed this childhood friend a little.

"Huh? Chen Xi? Oh, it's you! Long time no see." Xu Sheng raised his head and looked at the strange man in front of him. He recalled for a moment and then stood up.

"I came to buy groceries and came to see you."

"Ha, I heard you went abroad. You're 13 years old, but I've never even left my province!"

"Huh? Who did you listen to?"

Chen Xi was a little surprised. He had heard that Xu Sheng was not doing well and had not seen many of his friends. He couldn't help but wonder where he got the information about him.
"It's Cui Zeming, he's here too! He opened a store next to my vegetable market. I didn't expect that the former young master would come here and become my neighbor. It's really fate."

"Ah? He opened a shop here? Selling vegetables?" Chen Xi remembered that he had met the other party last year. He was still in school at that time. How come he suddenly opened a shop?

"Cui Zeming is different from me. He won't lower himself to sell vegetables. He opened a labor agency nearby. It's an employment agency, just a different name. I didn't know what it was at first. I thought it was some high-end industry. Come on, I'll take you to have a look."

After Xu Sheng finished speaking, he wanted to pull Chen Xi over to take a look.

He looked at his dirty hands, then at the other person's clothes that looked very valuable, and finally retracted his hands.

As if sensing the other's embarrassment, Chen Xi reached out his hand without hesitation and gently hooked his neck, just like when they were children. The two walked towards the next door together.

"Chen Xi, you are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all. Now, my old friends see that I'm not doing well and they don't associate with me anymore." Xu Sheng said with some discomfort in his heart.

"Okay, don't take it to heart. Maybe you will become rich someday. As the saying goes, fortunes change! Besides, I never look at money when making friends, because they don't have as much as I do..." Chen Xi, who originally wanted to comfort the other party, suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his words, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Zeming Labor Service Company."

Next to a tobacco shop, Chen Xi muttered to himself as he looked at the small shop sign.

"Look, this is it. Lao Cui, look who's here." Xu Sheng pushed the door open and shouted inside.

Although the place is not big, it has all the necessary office equipment.

There are computers on several tables, and they look quite decent.

"Wow~"

Soon, the sound of flushing was heard, the toilet door was opened, and Cui Zeming walked out.

"Hey, Chen Xi, why are you here?"

Cui Zeming wiped his cheap suit with his wet hands as he walked. "I ran into Xu Sheng while buying vegetables at the market. He told me that you opened a company here, so I came to see you."

"What kind of company is this? It's just a small agency."

"I think it's pretty good."

"There are only three people in the company, one is me, and the other is out doing business."

"What about the other one?" Chen Xi looked around and it seemed like there was no one else.

"The other one is my dad. He was embarrassed to let others know that he set up a small agency company, so he registered it under my name." Cui Zeming pulled Chen Xi aside and told him in a low voice.

"Oh, uncle is okay."

"He's fine, but he's often a little depressed. You know, people forget about him when he's gone, and he was fired because of that kind of thing, so he doesn't want to stay in Xinlu anymore."

"Your company's business..."

Chen Xi didn't know what to say, so he could only find a random topic.

"It's just to make a living. Fortunately, the old man used to hold a high position and helped many people. Some people still remember his kindness..."

"So you can't study anymore?"

"Of course I go to school. I run between both places. I'm usually quite free in college, and there are still opportunities to retake the exams if I fail. The worst that can happen is that I can just take one more exam. However, I wouldn't even dare to think about this in the past. My dad only let me study and he took care of all the financial matters. Now the situation is different, and I also have to share the burden for the family." Cui Zeming said with a tired face.

It can be seen that he is now a completely different person. He used to be a second-generation rich man who only knew how to spend money, but now he knows how to make money actively. It seems that people are forced to do things.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Xi suddenly cried out inwardly that something was wrong. He was so busy meeting his friends that he forgot that Zhou Hanxue was still in the vegetable market.

"I'm leaving first. My friends must be waiting anxiously." After saying hello, he left in a hurry.

In the vegetable market, Chen Xi walked around but didn't see Zhou Hanxue.

After thinking about it, I figured that this woman must have gotten tired of waiting and left first.

"Where have you been? Do you know how long I have been looking for you here?"

I had only taken two steps out of the vegetable market when I saw her carrying a vegetable basket and looking angry.

"Sorry, I ran into a classmate from kindergarten and went over to say hello." Chen Xi apologized quickly.

"You carry the food!"

Zhou Hanxue stuffed the basket of vegetables into his hands.

Feeling guilty, he could only take it in silence.

"Um...are you and Zhao Lingshan in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?" Zhou Hanxue walked in front and asked without turning her head.

"No, why?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I just asked. That woman is so arrogant every day, she is so arrogant, how can a man be interested in her!"

Ok?
Chen Xi found it a little funny when he heard this. Was that person feeling too good about himself to the point of blaming others?

"You didn't really buy that many peppers."

"Do you think I'm an idiot? Would I do something so stupid as to hurt the enemy by a thousand and myself by eight hundred?"

"Uh... that's right."

He looked in the vegetable basket and saw that there seemed to be no peppers in it, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Every time he ate something spicy in the middle of winter, he would feel doubly uncomfortable.

When you visit someone's home, you definitely can't be picky about food and refuse to eat this or that. Fortunately, Zhou Hanxue was just trying to scare him.

"Your dad can draw, ask him to help me find a teacher!"

"I don't have a good relationship with him, go find your grandfather."

"He didn't want me to pursue a career in art at all. He said I wasn't cut out for it. Asking me to be a teacher would be embarrassing for him and a waste of a favor."

"Now that you've graduated, you should just go back to work. Painting is something you probably can't even support yourself in China."

Chen Xi said it very directly, because even someone of Chen Yifeng's level had to give up painting and go into business, let alone a half-baked person like Zhou Hanxue!
"I have no choice. Based on my grades, if I don't apply for art, I won't even be admitted to university..." Zhou Hanxue stopped talking halfway and soon returned to her original arrogant look.

He had forgotten about this. Zhou Hanxue was a poor student, and there was someone who was even worse than him...

You definitely won’t be able to get into a good school just by focusing on cultural courses.

"I asked you to find me a good job, but you insisted on sending me to a chemical factory. If I continue to stay there, I'm going to turn into a cyborg."

"Where can you go with your level? I, your father, graduated from Fudan University. Look at you and Han Xue, each one is worse than the other. You didn't inherit my good genes at all."

"I heard that a major renovation is about to start and our factory will be relocated. Please have someone transfer me to a better place to work."

"Come on, I'm embarrassed."

When I arrived at Zhou Wenbin's door, I heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a bald head rushed out. It was Zhou Hanxue's father, Zhou Xiang.

"Ah, Chen Xi, you're here. I have something else to do, so I can't accompany you." Zhou Xiang's face turned pale. He forced a smile and then left in a hurry.
