The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 304 is merely making amends to my past self (5.2K)

On the way, Chen Jingle chatted with Li Wenhui about the subjects she was good at and the areas she was interested in.

First, let the child have a basic understanding of university majors and the current development of various industries. Focus on explaining what industries and jobs can be chosen after graduating from each major, and what the salary and benefits are like.

These are all things that need to be understood to some extent.

It's not something you can just fill out any college application form for; it's about your future life plans. If your scores aren't ideal, you need to be even more careful.

In life, choices often outweigh efforts.

If you choose the wrong major or industry, your future development will definitely not be as smooth as those who choose the right one.

In addition, it is best to follow the student's interests when filling out college applications, rather than choosing whatever is popular. It is important to consider whether it is suitable for the student.

Although electrical engineering and electronic information are top engineering disciplines, it's a bit of a challenge to ask a student who isn't good at math and physics but is more interested in biochemistry to choose them.

Interest is the best teacher for children, and what suits them best is the best.

Overall, engineering majors are a good choice, after all, we live in an era where engineering is king, and they offer a wider range of career options compared to liberal arts majors.

In the past, it was said that biology, chemistry, environmental science, and materials science were the four most difficult majors to master, while civil engineering and mechanical engineering were the two best. But now, apart from environmental science and civil engineering, the others aren't as bad as they used to be. If you choose carefully within these majors, you can still find some decent programs.

For example, in the field of chemistry, there are new energy battery research and development, cosmetics research and development, and drug research and development.

Choosing a major involves understanding information gaps and judging future development trends.

No one can say they're 100% sure they won't make the wrong choice, but with enough information, you can first eliminate those terrible majors, and then, considering your family's circumstances, personal interests, and future career plans, prioritize suitable majors and universities. This will likely result in a good choice.

If Chen Jingle were to go back to the year he just finished the college entrance examination, he might have gone to a naval engineering and technology program with a score just above the second-tier university cutoff.

At that time, several military academies in Nandong Province had admission scores equivalent to the second-tier undergraduate program, and some even failed to fill their quotas.

However, engineering has one characteristic: if you want a high-paying job, you have to continue your studies.

You should at least get a master's degree.

Especially given the current less-than-ideal job market, it's quite difficult for graduates from non-elite universities to find employment.

Chen Jingle asked her, "Can you accept pursuing a master's degree? Or do you want to do it? After all, pursuing a master's degree in engineering requires a certain amount of talent and perseverance. If you just want to get a degree, it will be difficult to stick with it. You have to take initiative."

“I can!” Li Wenhui nodded seriously.

Chen Jingle nodded slightly: "If you have the idea of ​​pursuing a master's degree, it's naturally better to prepare as early as possible. Judging from your college entrance examination scores, the postgraduate entrance examination should not be too difficult for you. Just follow the steps. Of course, this is a long-term plan. Before that, we need to choose a suitable school and major based on your scores."

"Uh-huh!"

Li Wenhui has no career plans for the future, or rather, her plans for the future are limited to wanting to earn more money.

Can understand.

My aunt's family's living conditions are indeed just average. Children growing up in such families naturally have a strong desire for material things.

Chen Jingle was once like that too.

It was only later that I realized that for ordinary people, without special opportunities, earning their first million within ten years is already considered quite good.

Money is just a number. As long as you have a calm mindset and lower your desires and expectations, you don't need that much at all.

On the contrary, being healthy and happy is the most important thing.

Chen Jingle rambled on and on, but all he really wanted was to prevent his cousin from making the same mistakes he had made.

Let me also mention my upcoming work.

“My job isn’t too busy, and I don’t usually have to clock in or out. But it can be quite tiring when it’s busy, mainly because I’m outdoors and running around a lot. In this weather, most people couldn’t handle it. Fortunately, it doesn’t last long, only two or three days at a time. You just need to stay by my side and help me with some odd jobs. Don’t worry, I won’t entrust the really important things to a high school graduate with no work experience.”

"oh oh!"

Li Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously, "Outdoors... what aspect is it about?"

"An investigation into agricultural planting."

Chen Jingle smiled and said, "I now work for a company that integrates agricultural planting, purchasing, transportation and sales. I am responsible for the main strategic planning. Without investigation, there is no right to speak. First, we need to conduct on-site inspections, then write inspection reports, and then raise various questions based on the reports, which are then handed over to the big boss above to solve in detail with the heads of various departments."

Li Wenhui clicked her tongue in amazement. Although she didn't quite understand, it seemed really impressive.

"Here, get out of the car."

After parking the car, Chen Jingle said to Li Wenhui.

Li Wenhui was a little puzzled after getting off the bus. "Isn't this Baida Shopping Mall? What can I buy here?"
Soon she found out.

Chen Jingle first picked out some sun-protective clothing and sun hats for her, as well as sunscreen, so that she wouldn't get tanned after running around for a few days and her aunt might think she was abusing her cousin.

Li Wenhui was initially a little embarrassed to accept, but after Chen Jingle said it was necessary for work, she didn't say anything more.

After buying sunscreen and related products, Chen Jingle took her to Hua Zi's offline experience center.

If you're looking for high cost-performance in Huawei's products, forget it. At least for now, chip availability is limited, and it's unlikely they'll be making friends with people as easily as they used to.

The ecology is alright.

Standing in the notebook section, Chen Jingle smiled at Li Wenhui and said, "Choose one, consider it a gift from your older brother."

"what?"

Li Wenhui was stunned, and quickly waved her hand: "No, no, it's too expensive."

She was terrified when she saw the prices marked on them. To her, each one was an enormous sum.

I hesitate and struggle even when asking my parents to buy it, so how could I possibly ask my cousin to buy it for me?

Chen Jingle laughed and said, "It's okay, just choose one. Many families have computers now. Your family doesn't have a computer, so you're already behind others. You'll definitely need to buy a computer when university starts, so why not take advantage of the discount now and buy one? You can learn how to use a computer at home during the summer vacation. There's no need to feel guilty. Working for me will be very hard, so just consider it an advance on your salary and bonus."

Even so, Li Wenhui still dared not accept it and quickly shook her head.

"Stop dawdling, hurry up and choose. After you've chosen, I'll take you to the company to get used to your intern status." Chen Jingle waved his hand.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Wenhui said softly, "I don't know much about computers, so why don't you help me choose one, Brother Le?"

"Row!"

After considering the overall performance parameters and appearance, Chen Jingle ordered a GT14, and after thinking about it, he also ordered an 11.5S soft-light tablet and seven P80pro+ tablets.

I was originally thinking of buying Li Wenhui a Mate70, since she doesn't have a cell phone, only a Little Genius smartwatch that she uses to contact her parents.

The store manager then said that today was a new product launch, and the store had received a batch of new Pura series phones.

Upon inspection, Chen Jingle noticed that although the camera on the new P80 looked rather ugly, its functions were indeed quite powerful, and the black, white, and red colors were reasonably attractive, so he bought several units.

His parents, in-laws, himself, Teacher Li, and Li Wenhui—this amount of money was nothing to him.

However, Li Wenhui was somewhat shocked. She stared in disbelief at Chen Jingle's massive shopping spree, and the amount she paid made her dizzy.

Tens of thousands have already been spent?!
When Chen Jingle handed her the computer, tablet, and phone, she took them instinctively, only to find them burning hot.

"Don't think of these things as too valuable. A computer, tablet, and phone set like this can be bought with a month's salary after you graduate, provided your technical skills are good enough. So, after you enroll, your first priority is to improve your professional skills."

Chen Jingle said with a smile.

Seeing that Li Wenhui was still hesitating, he knew that it was a bit difficult for a young girl to accept such an expensive gift: "Don't worry about what your aunt will say, just say it's from me. If you're really sorry, just consider it a reward for your college entrance exam results."

His kindness to his younger siblings seems to be a way of making up for his younger self.

I remember my first computer was a second-hand laptop that I bought with the money I saved from a summer job. I used it for three years until I bought a new one with my salary during my senior year internship.

If someone could tutor him, reward him for every exam, and offer advice on his life planning, perhaps his 20s and 30s wouldn't be so difficult.

For a family to escape poverty and break free from its original social class, in addition to everyone's joint efforts, it also needs a visionary leader to guide them.

"But the results haven't come out yet," Li Wenhui stammered.

Chen Jingle laughed: "It's okay. It's not like you have to give up studying if you don't do well on the exam. As long as you're willing, you can study. There are different application strategies for each score range. It's not a big problem."

After much persuasion, Li Wenhui finally accepted the gift.

……

Next, Chen Jingle took Li Wenhui to Hongqi's place.

After asking her to wait in the reception room, Chen Jingle went to Li Qiguang's office.

He handed over the two phones with a smile.

"I just went to Huazi's experience center and saw that they had a new product launched today, so I bought two for you and Sister Qin."

"Hey, I just got a new phone recently, why waste money on this?" Li Qiguang waved his hand.

He used the three-fold fold of Hua Zi.

There's no way around it; most successful middle-aged men use this product. If everyone uses it and you don't, you'll seem a bit out of place.

Besides, he himself is a loyal user of Huazi.

"I'll just use it as a backup. I'll keep my stuff here anyway." Chen Jingle said nonchalantly.

"Alright then." Li Qiguang didn't refuse again.

The gift from the son-in-law is not the same as the one you buy yourself.

Based on his observations over this period of time, Li Qiguang naturally became more and more satisfied with Chen Jingle, whether in terms of work, family, or personality.

Although he and Li Beixing were married, he never made any demands in his personal capacity, and his material desires were very low.

If there are no unforeseen circumstances, we will consider giving him more responsibilities. He has done a very good job in the company's strategic development planning, and his achievements are obvious to all.

"By the way, the news says a typhoon is coming."

Chen Jingle, unaware of what Old Li was thinking, took the initiative to change the subject.

Based on the projected route, it will most likely make a direct landing on Hainan Island, then cross the strait into the Nanlei Peninsula. This would likely affect the Jiangbei area.

Although the central wind force is not strong, it is highly likely to bring heavy rainfall.

This is what Chen Jingle mentioned before: the drought was severe in the first half of the year, and floods may occur in the second half.

"Yes."

Li Qiguang sighed, "I hope the wind won't be too strong, otherwise the unharvested lychees will be badly damaged."

Although I've become accustomed to it, I still feel heartbroken every time I encounter this situation.

There's no other reason than it's purely a rural instinct: they can't bear to see crops ruined by disasters.

Since 1949, my country has recorded more than 680 typhoons making landfall, with more than 200 of them making landfall in Nantong Province, the most in the country.

The highest number of cases was in Jiangbei and the surrounding areas, with 84 cases. If this one is included, the number would be 85.

It can be described as having suffered many disasters.

"Let's harvest as many as possible and get more people involved in the harvesting effort."

Chen Jingle didn't have any good solutions either.

Individual strength is insignificant in the face of nature, but if we can mobilize the masses to participate in the harvesting operation, perhaps we can still save the situation.

Unfortunately, not everyone can do this.

Hongqi is ultimately a private enterprise; it's already good enough if it can take care of its own planting area.

It was only then that Chen Jingle realized that he lacked a lot of experience and knowledge in emergency management.

I need to take good care of myself later.

"Well, we'll collect as much as we can, and the rest is up to fate," Li Qiguang nodded.

Hongqi's lychee revenue this year has increased significantly compared to previous years. This is due not only to production volume but also to the optimization of various aspects from production to sales.

When a typhoon hits, it will inevitably have some impact.

Besides lychees, other crops grown on a large scale will likely face a major blow.

Hopefully, the losses won't be too great.

The key issue is that even if the harvest is completed, the transportation capacity is insufficient to move all of them away in a short period of time. If too many are piled up, the cold chain storage warehouses will not be able to hold them, and they will rot in our hands.

It's a dilemma!

However, we still need to prepare in advance for what needs to be done, what needs to be done to save lives, and what needs to be prevented.

……

After leaving the office, Chen Jingle took Li Wenhui to the HR department to process her internship certificate.

After greeting his father-in-law, the HR department didn't say anything. In any case, the intern's salary wasn't high, and since Li Wenhui's job was basically running errands for Chen Jingle, Chen Jingle would personally pay her an extra salary.

As expected, when Li Wenhui returned home, her mother was astonished to see her carrying so many bags.

When they saw that there were also computers, tablets, and mobile phones among them, especially when they learned that the mobile phones were newly released and worth nine thousand yuan each, they were even more confused.

"Why do you want something so expensive from your brother Le?"

She wouldn't even dare to dream of owning a phone that costs nine thousand yuan!
Is this something that ordinary families like theirs should be exposed to?

"Brother Le said it was a reward for my college entrance exam, and also an advance on my salary and bonus," Li Wenhui said softly, her head down.

Chen Xiaomeng sighed deeply, rubbing her forehead, and after a long while said, "Never mind, we've already accepted it."

This favor is quite substantial.

She paused for a moment and said, "You need to know that these things aren't cheap. Don't think that you can relax and become lazy when you get to university. You still have to work hard, understand?"

"Yes, I know!" Li Wenhui nodded seriously.

When Chen Jingle talked to her about her school major and the development of various industries, she already had a vague idea of ​​her career plan.

Just then, Chen Xiaomeng asked, "What did your brother say to you about choosing a major at school?"

Li Wenhui then roughly recounted what Chen Jingle had told her earlier.

After listening, Chen Xiaomeng nodded: "As expected, it was the right thing to ask your brother Le for help. Your parents aren't very educated, so they can't really help you much with college application."

The mother and daughter whispered and talked a lot in the room.

After much hesitation, Chen Xiaomeng finally decided to let Li Wenhui handle the computer, tablet, and mobile phone herself.

After all, Chen Jingle had said that this was a reward for her.

As parents, we really feel bad about taking things from our children.

Chen Xiaomeng then called Chen Jingle again, first complaining a little, then expressing her gratitude.

Chen Jingle had to explain again to avoid putting any pressure on his aunt.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief and cheered herself up.

I don't expect that when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs will benefit. At least being able to help and guide others would be quite good.

My daughter got into university. We just need to work hard for a few more years until she graduates. That will be the end of our ordeal.

I hope things get better and better at home.

……

Starting from the evening of the 12th, all primary and secondary schools in Jiangbei City suspended classes.

The morning of the 13th was still extremely hot and humid, but Chen Jingle knew that this was just the prelude to an impending storm.

Make the most of the time before the typhoon arrives to arrange all the work-related matters, while also taking care of your own tasks.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the situation suddenly changed.

Storms and rain can come on any day.

If you live on a high floor, you will clearly see the dense dark clouds and torrential rain rolling in with overwhelming force as the typhoon sweeps through.

With their rich experience in typhoon relief, the people of Jiangbei have already prepared meals in advance, closed doors and windows, downloaded novels, movies and TV series on their phones, filled plastic buckets with water for the next two days, and fully charged their power banks and flashlights.

At Chen Jingle's home, his parents closed and locked the shop and came back at noon.

Although the wind force at the center is only level 9-10, a typhoon is still a typhoon. It would be foolish to underestimate it just because the wind force is low. Staying at home and keeping the doors and windows closed is the safest thing to do.

If you don't believe in superstitions, you can go for a walk in the street or go to the beach.

Chen Jingle had already stuffed rags and old clothes into the gaps in the doors and windows to prevent rainwater from flowing back in. The bougainvillea in the yard had also been pruned to prevent it from being broken by the wind.

The studio also took precautions.

After confirming that there were no problems, I locked the front door and stayed at home obediently with my parents and Teacher Li.

“I remember one year when I was a child, there was a typhoon. At that time, my family still lived in a tile-roofed house. We watched helplessly as the roof tiles were blown off. My mother and I were so scared that we ran from our bedroom to another room.”

Chen Jingle lay on the bed, listening to the howling wind outside the window and the large raindrops pattering against the glass. He held Teacher Li's little hand and said with a smile.

Li Beixing was slightly taken aback, her heart tightening: "That sounds terrifying."

Chen Jingle laughed: "Yes, ever since then, I don't like to go out during strong winds and heavy rain. I find a safe place to hide, even if trees are blown down or telephone poles are knocked down, I wait until the wind passes. My life is more important."

Although he spoke lightly and with a smile, Li Beixing knew that his childhood must have been very difficult.

I felt a pang of heartache.

She quickly hugged him tightly, comforting him like a child: "It's okay, we have a big house now, we don't have to worry about the roof being blown away anymore."

Chen Jingle was taken aback when she hugged him like that, then smiled slightly and silently returned the hug.

Outside the window, a fierce wind and torrential rain raged, but inside the room, all was quiet.
