Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 10 Shancheng's job is over

Chen Man's birthday ended perfectly with Shen Qingqing's company. They should have been leaving after dinner, but she stayed for another two hours.

Before leaving, Chen Man was particularly reluctant to part with Shen Qingqing. She held Shen Qingqing's hand and asked Shen Rongzhou eagerly if she could let Shen Qingqing stay overnight at her house.

Of course, in the end, there was no such thing. Shen Qingqing was still thinking about Li Xunjin and Li Xunli. After making an appointment with Chen Man to meet at school tomorrow, she followed her father into Mr. Zhang's car.

"Rongzhou, should I take you back to the factory to get the car first, or should I take you back directly?" Mr. Zhang asked as he started the car.

How could Shen Rongzhou dare to let his boss send him off? Besides, he had to ride the motorcycle to work tomorrow. "Boss Zhang, just go back to the factory. It's getting late. I won't delay your return home."

"Okay, you don't have to call me Mr. Zhang all the time. I'm seven or eight years older than you. You can call me Brother Qin in private." Mr. Zhang's real name is Zhang Zeqin.

Shen Rongzhou smiled honestly and politely, and changed his tone readily: "Okay, Brother Qin!"

Shen Qingqing immediately understood the deeper meaning of this opening remark.

This was the topic that we had planned to continue but were unable to continue when we were at Chen's house.

As expected, Zhang Zeqin didn't mean to beat around the bush and spoke directly to his heart: "Rongzhou, you've been in the factory for a few days now, and you've seen the current situation of our two businesses. The stainless steel side has a stable output, but the ceramic side is sporadic. I've also been trying to think of a solution for a long time, but I still don't know what to do."

"I never thought I'd find the key to solving the problem today! It's your lover!"

Shen Rongzhou's expression turned serious. "Brother Qin, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Zeqin: "Listen, our company's ceramics business is a little smaller than that of other specialized ceramic companies. So my plan is not to compete with them specifically for the daily-use ceramics business, but to think about how to make ceramics more creative and move as far as possible towards the mid-to-high-end market."

"But most of our local ceramic masters specialize in making everyday ceramics, and aren't very good at designing and innovating ideas for the mid- to high-end market. When I saw the set of ceramic figurines your wife made today, I knew I had found the person I was looking for."

"So you can go back and discuss it with your wife. I can offer her a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan to work in my ceramic factory, where we produce mid- to high-end ceramics. Ask your wife if she's interested."

Zhang Zeqin made two invitations in a row. The first time was to ask Shen Rongzhou to go back and discuss it, and the second time was to ask Shen Rongzhou to ask Li Xunli for her opinion.

It can be said that the posture has been lowered very low.

Shen Rongzhou could also feel Zhang Zeqin's sincerity and nodded solemnly: "Okay, Brother Qin, I will definitely have a good talk with my wife when I get back."

Zhang Zeqin was satisfied, so he sent the father and daughter to the factory and left.

Shen Rongzhou put a children's helmet on Shen Qingqing, carried Shen Qingqing onto the motorcycle, and took her home.

Shen Qingqing felt that she needed to test her father's opinion.

"Dad, do you also want Mom to work in Uncle Zhang's factory?"

Shen Rongzhou smiled and said, "Doesn't Mom have a job?"

"But Uncle Zhang offers a higher salary. Mom's salary in Shancheng is less than 2,000." Shen Qingqing's voice came from the helmet in a muffled voice.

Shen Rongzhou patted his daughter's head and said, "It depends on where your mother wants to go. If she wants to work in Uncle Zhang's factory, then Dad will find another factory to work in."

Shen Qingqing leaned over the gas tank, uttered an "oh," and didn't say anything more. It was a taboo in Chaocheng for a couple not to work in the same factory.

Although it doesn't count as her parents working in a factory before getting married, there are also many women in Chaocheng who quit their jobs after getting married and go home to take care of their husbands and children.

The father and daughter did not continue talking about this topic, but unexpectedly, when they were almost home, they saw the light coming through the window of their house.

"Who's home?" Shen Qingqing jumped off the motorcycle, took off her helmet and held it in her arms, then turned to look at Shen Rongzhou, "Could it be my uncle?"

"Let's go in and take a look first." Shen Rongzhou took the helmet from Shen Qingqing's hand and hung it on the motorcycle, then took Shen Qingqing into the house.

As soon as they entered, they saw Li Xunli and Li Xunjin sitting silently on the sofa. The atmosphere was a little stagnant, and they didn't even seem to notice that they had returned.

It was Shen Qingqing who walked over and called out, "Mom, Uncle."

Li Xunli seemed to wake up at this moment, and smiled at Shen Qingqing, "Are you back? Hurry up and take a shower and go to bed. Yangyang has already fallen asleep, be careful not to wake her up."

Shen Qingqing hesitated for a moment, but seeing that they had no intention of saying anything, she had no choice but to go back to the room and give them space to talk.

As soon as she entered, Shen Qingqing closed the door until only an almost invisible gap remained, and she leaned close to the gap to eavesdrop.

Seeing that the child was no longer there, Shen Rongzhou walked over to Li Xunli and sat down, asking, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to Shancheng to look for work?"

Li Xunli glanced at Li Xunjin and saw that he had a sullen face and didn't seem to want to say anything. She thought for a moment and then explained to Shen Rongzhou.

"After we arrived in Shancheng on Saturday morning, we visited my brother's classmate's company. We looked at the business license and various qualification certificates, toured the factory, and looked at the recent financing cooperation contract. There were indeed no problems. I thought I had to visit my aunt first, so I put the contract signing on hold and signed it in the afternoon."

"Then we went to my aunt's house. My aunt and her family have lived in Shancheng for more than ten years and are quite familiar with the local area. Then they asked us why we suddenly came to Shancheng. We told them that my uncle, who is a well-connected person, heard that we were looking for a job and offered to help us find one and told us not to worry."

"As a result, I found out that there was something wrong. There was nothing wrong with my brother's classmate's company, but there was a problem with the financing funds. The partner in the financing was a fraudster who specialized in making money under the guise of financing."

"My brother had to tell his classmates, but the financing was already halfway through. My brother's classmates rushed to the bank to verify and found that half of the company's account had been withdrawn. After being discovered, the person directly disappeared. The company's capital chain was broken, and now they are worried."

Li Xunli spoke pickily up to this point, and Shen Rongzhou understood what happened next.

His company is almost going bankrupt, let alone providing jobs.

So Li Xunjin and Li Xunli returned empty-handed.

But unexpectedly, Shen Rongzhou had good news.

"Wife, Mr. Zhang came to me today to talk about something. He wants to pay you 5,000 a month and ask you to make porcelain for him. I want you to make the small porcelain that you asked Qingqing to give to her classmates."

"do you want to go?"

　Something bad has happened. I have run out of stock...

　　We might meet at around 11 o'clock tomorrow night...
