The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 341 Yan Xiecheng Goes to Ye University
In the next few days, some workers came to the construction site one after another, and the progress of the project was obviously faster than before.

The one-story building, which was originally expected to be completed in half a month, was completed in just over a week.

Now the workers are building the outer frame and preparing to start the second floor. According to this speed, the construction can be completed more than a month ahead of schedule.

Bosses Huang and Zhang in Shanghai also found a good store and sent a group of employees over for training. Because the new main store hadn't been completed yet, Yan Xiecheng had no choice but to send people to Yu Haitang.

In order to expand the fried chicken and let more people know about it, the shop Yan Jiecheng also specially posted information on recruiting agents and franchise stores in his restaurant.

The restaurant of Yan Jiecheng's family is very famous in the vicinity. People who come to the capital to do business from other places often come to eat at his restaurant. Many people have got the news, but few people really want to join or act as an agent.

After all, it is not acceptable for ordinary people to pay Yan Jie thousands of dollars or tens of thousands of dollars before making any money. After all, they have never encountered this kind of model before, which makes many people hesitate. After a long time, only five people have joined, and others will ask at most, and when they hear that the franchise fee will be paid, there is no further information.

Yan Jiecheng has no good way to do this, take his time, anyway, he is not in a hurry, it should be better when the new store is built and put into use.

After all, the appearance of a business is still very important. Like the previous store that opened half a year ago, two people came to inquire about it. It’s because the store is too small to make people feel unreliable.

If it weren't for the fact that private individuals can't afford to buy cars now, Yan Xiecheng wanted to import a car to be in charge of the store. Even though he didn't use it much, even if he didn't have to put it here, it was still a kind of face.

Don't Chinese people pay attention to a row of noodles when doing business?As long as the arrangement is in place, everything will get twice the result with half the effort. Since you cannot change others, you must learn to adapt. After all, the survival of the fittest will survive, and those who cannot adapt will eventually be eliminated by the times.

Yan Jiecheng walked around the construction site and found nothing wrong. He told Master Wang to pay attention to safety during construction, and then turned his head back to the courtyard.

Yan Jiecheng has nothing to do now, and he doesn't need to take care of the restaurant with Yu Li in charge of it, so he goes to the back kitchen from time to time to discuss new dishes with Heizi and the others, or he goes to the construction site to supervise the construction , The rest of the time is basically reading at home.

When he got home, Yan Jiecheng took an English book from the shelf, sat on a chair and read it.

Since last year, the state has required all localities to vigorously develop correspondence education and evening colleges in colleges and universities. Yan Xiecheng thought about whether he should also enroll in a class. Although he went to college in his previous life, his English skills were really not that good.

It’s no problem to read English books. If you want him to read it out, he probably can understand it by himself. It just so happens that Peking University’s foreign language class is recruiting people recently.

Yan Jiecheng wanted to get a letter of introduction from the street to sign up for. Anyway, he has nothing to do now, and it would be good to study an evening school, and he can go at night and on Saturdays and Sundays freely.

It doesn't matter if he can't pass the graduation certificate, the graduation certificate is not important to him anyway, as long as he can learn spoken English, thinking of this, Yan Xiecheng put the book back on the bookshelf, got up and went out to ask for a letter of introduction on the street.

When he came to the sub-district office, Yan Jiecheng explained his purpose to Director Wang. Although Director Wang didn't quite understand Yan Jiecheng's need to go to school at such an advanced age.

After all, at this time, only young cadres from factories and units are studying at night colleges. If you want to go further without a degree, there are not many people like Yan Jiecheng, but Director Wang didn't stop him from learning more knowledge whether it is useful or not. It was also good, so I happily wrote a letter of introduction to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Xiecheng came to Peking University's foreign language class with a letter of introduction, and the teacher who signed up frowned with Yan Jiecheng's letter of introduction.

"Comrade, although there is no age limit for going to night university, there are still certain requirements for academic qualifications. At least a high school or technical secondary school is required. Your junior high school education level is not enough." The teacher said a little speechlessly.

I thought to myself, how could a junior high school student have the confidence to sign up? He still enrolled in an English class. Does he know what English is?

"Teacher, don't look at me. I only went to junior high school, but I did a lot of self-study in private, and I don't speak English very well, but I know English, and I can read English books."

The teacher was a little surprised to hear Yan Jiecheng's words. After all, there are not many people who know English in China at this time. After all, we have been studying Brother *** before, and it is only in recent years that we have paid attention to English.

So he picked up an English book, opened it, pointed to a line of words and asked, "Since you know English, take a look, what does this sentence mean?"

"Behind great wealth lies evil."

"What about this sentence?" The teacher turned another page and asked Yan Jiecheng.

"I will never impose friendship on someone who doesn't need it—who thinks I'm insignificant." Yan Jiecheng glanced at him and replied directly.

"What about this sentence?" The teacher turned a page and asked Yan Jiecheng in disbelief.

"Great people are not born great, but show their greatness in the process of growing up." Yan Xiecheng just glanced at it and replied.

Yan Xiecheng read the novel "The Godfather" published in [-] several times, and he could recite the classic quotations in it backwards and forwards.

It's just that I didn't expect that someone still carried this novel with him, and he was also a teacher.

"Have you read this novel?" The teacher closed the book and asked curiously.

"I've seen it, Godfather, he's very famous."

"Okay, it seems that your background is not bad. Fill out this form, and come to class in the evening and on Saturdays and Sundays. By the way, you still have to pay two yuan of tuition every month." The teacher saw that Yan Xie had come true. His knowledge of English did not fool her, so he spoke.

After filling out the form and paying the money, Yan Jiecheng took the card and left the school and walked towards the courtyard, where he can learn English in the future.

…………

At this time, in a female dormitory of Beijing Foreign Language University.

There is no class today, Friday, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, boy Wan intends to go home to live, so she returns to the dormitory after class and starts to pack her things.

After more than half a month of school, everything else is fine, and the seven classmates in the same dormitory are also very easy to talk to, but the only thing I can't bear is the food in the cafeteria.

When she lived at home, Yan Jiecheng used to cook. Although she moved out later, she didn’t feel wronged when it came to food. She either went to a restaurant or a fried chicken restaurant. Anyway, they were all run by her own family. After eating, remember her dad Yan Xiecheng's name will do.

But since I came to school, it's either cabbage, potatoes, or radishes, and I'm reluctant to put oil in the canteen when cooking.

One or two meals is okay, but she can't bear to eat it often. Although there are pickles that Yan Jiecheng brought her, eating too much of that will make her sick.

She just wants to go to the fried chicken shop and get a family bucket of fried chicken. When she thinks of fried chicken, she can't help drooling, and the movements of her hands speed up a little unconsciously.

"I really envy those of you who are close to home, you can still go home during the holiday." Zhang Man said enviously.

Her home is more than 1000 kilometers away from the capital, and it takes several days to go back and forth by train, and she can't go back except for winter and summer vacations.

"Oh, I really regret that I didn't apply to the local university. My home is more than 500 kilometers away from the capital, which is farther than your home." Li Wei also said melancholy.

"What's so sad about the two of you, I want to go to university in other places, but my parents don't agree." Xiao Ziwan rolled her eyes at the two, thinking that they were in the midst of blessings and didn't know their blessings.

Originally, she wanted to apply for a university in the south when she filled out her application, but Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li disagreed at all and insisted that she study in a local university.

It's all because of Xiao Ziyang's secretiveness. Originally, she wanted to hide it from Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li until the deal was done, but she didn't expect Xiao Ziyang to be so unreliable, so she told Yu Li about it the next day.

"It's good that you didn't go to other places to study in university, otherwise you can go home as soon as you can, like the rest of us, even if you are on vacation, you can only stay in the dormitory."

"You don't know how to go out to play. Let me tell you that there are many interesting places in the capital. By the way, if you don't know the way, it's useless to say it. In this way, if you have no place to go, come to my house tomorrow. I invite you Eat a hamburger." Xiao Ziwan said very proudly.

"Xiao Ba, what is a hamburger?" Li Wei couldn't help asking after hearing what Xiao Ziwan said.

"I know, I know, a hamburger is two pieces of bread with chicken steak, vegetables and jam sandwiched between them. It's delicious. My dad took me to eat it before, but it's a bit expensive. A hamburger costs one yuan and two cents. It costs a few dollars to feed a person." Lin Qi contended, saying that she is also from the capital, and she has seen food like hamburgers that have only recently appeared.

"It's too expensive, let's forget it, it's worth my food expenses for seven or eight days." Li Wei retreated when she heard the price.

It’s fine if it costs one or two cents, but she doesn’t dare to eat anything worth a few dollars. The family only pays her 20 yuan for living expenses a month.
This is because her parents are both working in good conditions, and with the subsidy from the state, there is still some surplus every month, but she still feels reluctant to spend so much money on a meal.

"It's okay, you can come anyway, I can still take care of a meal." Kid Wan said, patted his chest.

"Old Ba, why don't your parents talk about you for spending so much money?"

"My parents never care about my own New Year's money. Besides, we are good sisters. You guys have come all the way to the capital. How can I not show my kindness as a landlord? Don't worry, my parents won't you?" I'll take care of it."

"That's what you said. If your parents beat you for this, you can't rely on us."

"How is it possible? My parents have never hit me since I was a child, but they often beat my younger brother."

"Why?" Several people asked curiously.

"My dad said boys were beaten all the time."

"This... well, I really envy you for having such a sensible father."

"Okay, remember to come and find me early tomorrow, I'll be leaving first." Said the boy Wan out of the dormitory, got on his bicycle and galloped towards home.

She had mentioned her home address when registering in the dormitory before, so she didn't need to tell a few people.

When I left the school gate, I saw a boy holding a bicycle, looking boredly at the beautiful women passing by on the side of the road.

"Why don't you come home to our school during the holidays?"

"I said big sister, you really think that I am willing to come. If Dad said that the road is not safe and insisted that I go back with you during the holiday, I would have left long ago."

"Then don't waste your time, let's go, my stomach is almost starving." Hearing that Ziyang said it was what his father meant, Ziwan could only sigh.
