Chapter 163 Returning home in glory
Chapter 163 Returning home in glory
In the graduation season, we say goodbye and the love between classmates is unforgettable.
We met when we were young, but now we part in summer.
We have shared joys and endured hardships together.
It’s graduation season again, and it’s also the time for Far East Group to recruit new employees.
On a busy street in the capital, seeing a KFC store surrounded by people, Zhang Ting stood not far away and felt like she was in another world.
KFC, the current fast food brand is not affiliated with PepsiCo. Watsons acquired the permanent franchise rights of KFC and Pizza Hut in Asia as early as two years ago.
The sky-high price of US$1.8 million spent at that time was reported by the media, and they felt that PepsiCo had made a good deal.
After all, there are many such fast food in Europe and the United States, and KFC is not very popular among European and American people now.
Those operating in Europe and the United States generally do not mean that the same is true in Asia. Who else knows the influence and sales power of this brand in Asia better than Luo Nianzhong.
At its peak, Asia contributed more than 70% of KFC's turnover, and the Greater China market accounted for more than half.
So after Watsons bought KFC and Pizza Hut, Luo Nianzhong asked Watsons to start a store expansion plan.
In Rabbit, fifty stores were opened in the capital, Magic City, Pengcheng and other cities to test the waters. The effect is naturally self-evident, and the popularity cannot be described.
For this fresh foreign fast food, young people expressed their love with their actions.
"I said, when I come to the capital with you, you don't want to treat me to this, do you? If so, don't blame me for not being a sister to show off to you.
But I really didn’t expect this fast food restaurant to have so many people, it’s not so popular on Hong Kong Island.”
The ear-piercing voice interrupted Zhang Ting's trance. Zhang Ting smiled and put her hands on her best friend's shoulders.
"How can I treat you to these fast food? How about taking you to try the roast duck from Quanjude Headquarters later?"
"Roast duck?" My best friend's eyes lit up.
"Okay, okay, I like Quanjude's roast duck, but it's a pity that the restaurant on Hong Kong Island has a hard time queuing up. I want to eat as much as I can today."
"You are a foodie." Zhang Ting stretched out her right finger and poked her forehead.
Seeing her best friend sticking out her little tongue cutely, Zhang Ting said, "Let's go back to the hotel first. I'm going home after we finish dinner. Will you go with me?"
"Is it appropriate?" my best friend asked, and then she denied it.
"Forget it, I didn't bring much money to buy gifts. Let's forget it this time. Let's talk about it next time."
"What kind of gift is not a gift? You don't need to be so polite with my parents." But Zhang Ting didn't try to persuade her.
"Then you go home and spend time with your parents in the afternoon. I will go to the school to communicate with the leaders here about the specific matters."
Zhang Ting nodded in agreement without saying anything about waiting for me to come with her.
After working at the Far East Group for a year, she knew that what she did was not self-serving. As long as the assigned work was completed, no one would care about what you did the rest of the time.
This is why she took the initiative to apply to come to Rabbit to be responsible for the school recruitment.
……
Standing at the entrance of the compound where she has lived for eighteen years, Zhang Ting felt a little unreal about the wooden gate and the historic courtyard wall.
A year ago, she was a girl born and raised in the capital city. She became the pride of her family because she was admitted to Tsinghua University. She was a child of someone else's family among the people in the courtyard.
Many people say that Zhang Ting will work in the government department after graduation and become the first leader in the compound.
No one thought that Zhang Ting chose another path and decided to go out and have a look.
When they learned about her choice, her parents and the elders and aunties in the compound didn't understand it very well.
Many people even gossip behind their backs, saying that they are good at studying are just an illusion. Zhang Ting is the last person in Tsinghua University, and the government departments don't look down on her at all, so they go to work in private companies.
Thinking about how sad my mother was when she heard these words, it was really ridiculous when she went to find someone to argue with her.
Zhang Ting was very grateful for her choice. She went to Hong Kong Island and the Far East Group before she realized how wonderful the world was.
If this decision had not been made, I would probably have been like those people who inquired about the situation in the neighborhood every day, gossiped about the Zhang family and the Li family, and lived a life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
So after successfully signing a contract with Far East Group and becoming a formal employee of the Human Resources Department, she took the initiative to apply for this team leadership task.
Her boss, Liu Lili, who was promoted to supervisor, agreed after knowing that she was from the capital, and also allowed her to find a colleague to go with her.
So I had my best friend Guo Shuya as my companion.
Guo Shuya is from Wanwan. The two met during training. After the internship, they were both assigned to the human resources department. Over time, they became good friends.
The two commute to get off work together, go shopping and watch movies together, and are currently looking for a house together to move out.
Sometimes they joke and promise to be the godfather and godmother of each other's children, which shows their affection.
"Sister Xiaoting?"
At this time, a young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, came out of the courtyard. He looked at Zhang Ting standing at the door and shouted uncertainly.
The face was still the one he was familiar with, but it was much more refined, and the beautiful clothes on her body made him a little unsure.
The white floral T-shirt, jeans and short leather boots, the fashionable hairstyle, earrings, watch and other decorations make him look like a Hong Kong star, completely different from the way he remembers him.
Seeing the confused look on the young man's face, Zhang Ting smiled and said, "It's Huzi. Are you on holiday too? Isn't Xiaofeng with you?"
After hearing this, Huzi finally confirmed that the beautiful star-like woman in front of him was Zhang Ting, his sister Zhang Feng.
"Sister Xiaoting, is that really you?" After saying this, she ran towards the courtyard without waiting for Zhang Ting's answer, shouting as she ran, "Sister Xiaoting is back, sister Xiaoting is back, Uncle Zhang, Xiaofeng, Xiao Sister Ting is back."
Zhang Ting laughed when she heard the shouting. Hong Kong Island has the blooming flowers of Hong Kong Island, but also the family ties of neighbors here. It can be said that each has its own advantages.
Stepping into the courtyard, a strong figure rushed out and rushed into Zhang Ting's arms.
"Sister, I miss you so much." After saying that, the person in his arms started crying.
Looking at her younger brother in her arms and her parents who followed closely behind her, Zhang Ting's eyes were moist and she shouted with a trembling voice, "Dad, Mom. I'm back."
The words "I'm back" made Mother Zhang, who was still calm, burst into tears instantly. She walked over quickly and hugged them, leaving Father Zhang standing there with red eyes and looking at them happily.
Through Huzi's publicity, everyone in the yard knew that the talented girl from the Zhang family was back. She was dressed more beautifully than the celebrities, and everyone came out to watch the fun.
Zhang's father felt that it was okay for the three of them to hug each other in the courtyard, so he quickly said, "Xiaoting just came back. She must be tired. Let her go back to the house to rest."
"Yeah".
Zhang's mother quickly wiped away her tears and took Zhang Ting back to the house, saying, "Are you thirsty? Come in, drink some water, and take a rest."
The family's return to the house did not lessen the enthusiasm and curiosity of the neighbors. The elders in the courtyard followed them into the house, and many people crowded at the door to watch and listen.
This is also a characteristic of this era.
Looking at her busy mother, Zhang Ting stopped her and said, "Mom, stop being busy. I have to go back to the hotel in the evening. My colleagues are still waiting there."
Zhang's mother paused when she heard this, and Zhang's father's original joyful expression also changed. He hurriedly asked, "Aren't you going to stay at home for a few days?"
Even the old man sitting next to him said, "Yes, Xiaoting, why do you have to leave just after you come back?"
"Yes, why did you leave just after you came back? It would be great to stay at home for a few days to spend time with your parents."
Zhang Ting had no choice but to explain, "Dad, Mom. I'm on a business trip to the capital this time. I only have some time to come back to see you today. This is because my colleagues considered that I would go back to the capital and go do some work. a little time".
Seeing Zhang's mother about to cry again, Zhang's father said understandingly, "Why are you crying? Xiaoting has work to do. It's good to come back and see her. We can't delay the child's work."
Zhang Ting knew that her father said this to prevent herself from being stressed. Look at your parents and tell them.
"Mom and Dad, I will come back to see you during the Chinese New Year. I am now a regular employee and can stay for a long time during the Chinese New Year."
Mother Zhang was also a sensible person, knowing that she could not delay her child's work, so she comforted her with a forced smile.
"Okay, when you come back during the Chinese New Year, mom will make your favorite pork dumplings for you."
"Okay, mom, you have to keep your word." Zhang Ting looked a little coquettish as before.
"You kid". Seeing Zhang Ting like this, Zhang's mother was no longer sad.
At this time, an aunt couldn't help but asked, "Xiaoting, I heard that you went to work in a big company on Hong Kong Island. How is it there? Is it as good as our capital?"
"Aunt Wang, each has its own merits. There is no way to compare two different styles." Zhang Ting replied with a smile.
"Is the salary in Hong Kong high? How much salary do you get every month?" This should be what they want to know most.
Zhang Ting did not hide anything. Although she no longer cares about the rumors at the time, she also wants to prove that her original choice was not wrong and that she is living a good life now.
"I am still a low-level employee and my salary is not very high, about HK$6000 per month." "Si".
I originally heard Zhang Ting say that the salary was not much and thought it was only more than 100 yuan, but she didn't expect that she would directly say 6,000 yuan. Everyone inside and outside the room took a big breath, even Zhang's father and Zhang's mother. No exception.
"Xiaoting, you mean six thousand a month, not six thousand a year?" Aunt Wang asked in disbelief.
Seeing Zhang Ting smiling and nodding, Aunt Wang exclaimed, "Oh my God, what kind of company is this? If the bottom-level employees are paid so much, aren't they afraid of going bankrupt?"
Not only Aunt Wang didn't believe it, but many people didn't believe it. They all started talking quietly about everything.
Even Zhang's mother walked up to Zhang Ting and whispered, "Daughter, don't talk nonsense just to save face. Who can offer such high wages to low-level employees?"
Zhang Ting also wanted to explain, but a voice interrupted the noisy environment.
"Zhang Ting, does Ms. Zhang live here? Who is Ms. Zhang Ting Zhang?"
The crowd looked for the sound and made way for them, only to see two young men wearing blue work clothes standing outside them, with the four characters "Glory Store" printed on the clothes.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Ting." Seeing the work clothes of the two of them, Zhang Ting knew that the things she bought had been delivered.
"Hello, Ms. Zhang, the TV series, refrigerator, and washing machine you bought have been delivered to you. Where should we put them for you?"
"Please just carry it into the house."
"okay"
After saying that, the two of them went outside. In a short while, they carried three household appliances into the house. Finally, they asked Zhang Ting to sign and left.
Only three people were talking during the whole process, and everyone else was dumbfounded. It wasn't until the two Glory store staff left that everyone came to their senses.
"The person who came just now is the employee of the Glory Store, right?"
"Yes, it's them. I've seen their work clothes, they are exactly the same."
"Hey, darling, they are all made by Hitachi. This is a big brand. I heard that each home appliance costs thousands of dollars."
"I can't stop watching it. Didn't you see that the TV is an 18-inch large color TV? I went to the Honor store to see it. It costs more than yuan."
"What, more than three thousand? That adds up to less than ten thousand yuan."
Everyone was exclaiming, especially when some people pretended to know all the details and shocked many people.
This time they no longer doubted Zhang Ting's salary mentioned before. If it was only a few hundred yuan a month, where would they get the money to buy these things?
Not to mention them, even Zhang's father and Zhang's mother had expressions of pain and disbelief upon hearing the price.
"Daughter, are you telling the truth? Is your monthly salary really that much?" Father Zhang pointed at the home appliances after speaking, "Are these things really as expensive as they say?"
Seeing Zhang Ting nod, Zhang's mother slapped her, "You're a prodigal, you can't spend it randomly even if you have money? Don't you know how to save it?"
Seeing his mother angry and his father also sullen and silent, his younger brother Zhang Feng was very happy. He led Hu Zi around the packaging of the TV, touching and looking at it.
"Mom, these are our company's products. We buy them very cheaply at our employees' internal prices, and the company also provides subsidies.
The most important thing is if you don’t use it this year, it will be invalid next year.”
In fact, the latter sentence was a lie to her parents. Far East Group employees have discounts on any group products, which is considered a benefit.
Of course, it would be different if you use this kind of benefit to make profits. The company has records, and no one can buy hundreds of home appliances a year.
Zhang Ting said this because she wanted to tell her parents that if they don't buy it, it will be wasted when the subsidy is gone. It also makes parents more accepting and less distressed.
These words did have an effect. Zhang's father and Zhang's mother's expressions did improve a lot. Although they still hurt, they no longer bothered about their daughter's spending money.
Just because they don't speak doesn't mean others don't. "Xiaoting, you mean you work at Hitachi? I remember it is a brand from an island country. Don't you work on Hong Kong Island?"
"Uncle Chen. Hitachi is indeed a company from the island country, but it has been acquired by our group. Now it is a subsidiary company of our group, and it can also be regarded as a Hong Kong Island brand."
"My dear, Xiaoting is really promising. The place where she works has acquired all the big companies in the island country."
Zhang Ting didn't know how to tell them specific things, so she just smiled and said nothing, which was considered acquiescence.
"Xiaoting, what are you mainly responsible for in your company?" someone else asked.
"Oh, I'm from the Human Resources Department, responsible for recruitment. That's why I returned to the capital this time."
Hearing Zhang Ting say that she was responsible for recruitment, some people couldn't hold it any longer and said, "Xiao Ting, how about you recruit my Xiaojun to your company? It's okay to pay less, even three thousand a month."
Who doesn’t want to make a lot of money and live a good life, and buy various home appliances at home.
"Fat Aunt, I'm afraid this won't work. The employees our company recruits are all world-famous college students, like me, they are just barely up to standard."
Zhang Ting's words are not a lie. Although it will not be so strict and requires world-renowned universities, the minimum standards are indeed students from famous universities.
Sure enough, after hearing this, many people gave up their ideas, and some even complained, "They said that studying is useless. Look at Xiaoting. Lao Zhang was right when he insisted that Xiaoting go to college."
Zhang's father was a little proud when he heard this, but he said modestly, "It was also when I resumed the college entrance examination. Xiaoting wanted to go to school again, so he had no choice but to agree to let her try. Unexpectedly, she actually passed the college entrance examination, and she also got it. Skipped a level."
Everyone sighed that Zhang's father had a good life and would be able to enjoy a happy life in the future, and then left one after another.
After all, everyone knows that Zhang Ting only has one afternoon to give their family some time to talk about home.
She and her parents said goodbye to the neighbors. After closing the door, Zhang Ting looked at her father who sat down and said, "Dad, I want to take Xiaofeng to Hong Kong Island."
"What?" Father Zhang, who had just sat down, stood up when he heard this. He asked, "Why are you taking Xiaofeng to Hong Kong Island?"
"Dad, don't get excited yet, listen to me slowly."
After helping her father sit down again, Zhang Ting said, "Xiaofeng's studies are average and he can't get into any good university in the capital.
Our group has cooperation with many universities on Hong Kong Island, and there is a point reduction policy for group employees."
"Xiao Feng and I can go to Hong Kong Island to receive a better education, get into a good university, and find a better job in the future."
After hearing Zhang Ting's explanation, Zhang's father understood that her purpose was to consider his brother's future.
He also knew that what Zhang Ting said made sense, but he just didn't want to.
My daughter is no longer around and I barely see her all year round. What will happen to our family if our son is like this in the future?
It is the current concept to raise children to prevent old age. Sons should be taken care of by their parents.
Seeing that her father was silent, Zhang Ting didn't know what he was thinking.
“Dad, now our country is opening up, and the more advanced talents will be, the more popular they will be.
Our group also plans to set up a capital branch in the next few years, and I will apply to come back then.
If Xiaofeng joins our group after graduation, you can apply to come back to work. By then, your children will be with you and they will all be successful. How great would it be? Then you can enjoy your old age at home with your mother."
Zhang's father was persuaded to relax a little by Zhang Ting, and asked hesitantly, "Is everything you said true? Does your company really want to set up a company in the capital? Can you really apply to come back to work?"
"Really, dad. Do I need to lie to you? If you are reluctant, can you go with mom, and you can still take care of us?"
"I won't go. This is my home. Our family has been here for generations. If I die, I will die here."
Zhang Ting was not surprised at all by what Zhang's father said. She had heard it so many times since she was a child.
Otherwise, she would not have said that she would take Xiaofeng to Hong Kong Island in the first place, instead of the whole family going, even if she knew that her father would not leave despite her words.
Father Zhang, who was complaining, glanced at Zhang Ting's eyes, and then at his youngest son who was about to move, wanting to ask for his opinion, "Xiao Feng, what do you think?"
"Of course I am willing to go to Hong Kong Island with my sister."
Zhang Feng agreed without even a fight. He was at the age where he was curious about the outside world.
Seeing that Zhang Feng had no nostalgia at all, Zhang's father yelled angrily, "Go, go, get out of here, and don't come back again."
Knowing that his father agreed, but because Zhang Feng's attitude made him feel unhappy, Zhang Ting slapped her brother on the back of the head.
"You are sent to Hong Kong Island to study. If you dare not study hard, see how I deal with you."
Zhang Feng, who was slapped hard, covered the back of his head and cried out in pain. Zhang's father was relieved a lot when he saw his son's pain.
In the evening, when Zhang Ting left, everyone from the hospital came to see her off. Many people who didn't have a day off on Sundays also came back. Naturally, they were envious of Zhang Ting's current situation.
In addition to sending Zhang Ting off, everyone also knew that the only son of the old Zhang family was going to school on Hong Kong Island soon.
In addition to lamenting that Zhang's father was courageous and willing to let all the children in the family go out to work, there was also deep envy. Everyone knew that the old Zhang family had achieved enlightenment by one person.
What they didn't know was that it was precisely because of Zhang's father's decision that an Internet tycoon who would be worth billions in the future was born in their compound.
