Movies and TV: The heroine of the blind date

"Brother, sister-in-law"

Zhong Xiaoqin's big, Ka Ziran eyes were so distinctive that Chen Xu recognized him immediately at the exit.

"Chen Xu is here. You've become more handsome after not seeing you for half a year."

Compared with Zhong Xiaoqin's enthusiasm, Chen Yu was much colder. He just took a suitcase from Chen Xu's hand and stopped talking.

Chapter 161 New arrival

Chen Yu was a bit dull. He still didn't say much after getting in the car. Zhong Xiaoqin, on the other hand, chatted with Chen Xu in a casual manner, wanting to let this brother-in-law who came from afar feel the hospitality of Shanghai people.

"Brother, where are we going now?"

"I've rented a house for you. I'll take you there first."

Knowing that Chen Xu was coming, he started making various preparations; renting a house, asking friends to find a job, but he just didn't like to talk about it.

Half an hour later, the three arrived at the place Chen Yu mentioned; a single apartment. The house was not big, more than 40 square meters, but it had a separate bathroom and a small kitchen for cooking.

"Brother, I came all the way to Shanghai to seek refuge with you, so please let me live here."

Chen Xu joked with a smile, but to be honest, this was indeed the smallest house he had ever lived in. His house before he traveled through time was much bigger than this.

"What do you know? Housing in Shanghai is expensive. The monthly rent for your room is 4000 yuan, and I asked someone to bargain for it. If you want to live in a good place, wait until you have money and find a way yourself."

His kindness was taken as an insult, but Chen Yu had gotten used to it.

“I was just joking with you, but you took it seriously;

Sister-in-law, my brother is a very dull person. It is as hard to see him angry as it is to see him smile. Have you ever seen that expression before?"

Chen Yu was boring, so Chen Xu had to tease Zhong Xiaoqin.

“I’ve never seen this before.”

The two were newlyweds, and now they only saw the beauty of each other. Chen Yu had never lost his temper with Zhong Xiaoqin.

"Okay, today is your first day in Shanghai, so come to my place for dinner."

"Come to my house to welcome you", such a simple sentence was interpreted into this way by Chen Yu.

"Okay, it's a good opportunity for me to go and get familiar with the place. Mom also asked me to bring a lot of things with me, so I should bring them along as well."

Chen Yu is a taciturn person. If he doesn't take the initiative, the two brothers will really have nothing to say to each other.

"What did you bring? We have them all here in Shanghai."

"Nothing much, just some specialties from Shanxi, all in the suitcase you just picked up."

The suitcase was eight hundred by one meter, and it was filled with gifts brought by Chen Xu; the more gifts the better, so in addition to gifts for Chen Yu and Zhong Xiaoqin, there were also gifts for Zhong Xiaoqin's parents.

"Then take it out."

"What are you going to take? There's a whole box of them."

For convenience, Chen Xu put all the gifts in the same box.

There was a whole box full of Shanxi specialties. Chen Yu roughly knew what was inside.

.........

Half an hour later, Chen Xu arrived at the love nest of Chen Yu and Zhong Xiaoqin, a two-bedroom apartment of more than 90 square meters.

"Chen Yu, Chen Yu, this island is not that fish, brother, why do you raise so many fish?"

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Xu was attracted by the fish tank in front of him. The colorful tropical fish were indeed eye-catching.

"It's none of your business. Can't I have a hobby?"

The words were very harsh and very Chen Yu. He looked very nervous, afraid that Chen Xu would do something to his precious fish.

"Sister-in-law, if one day my brother values ​​these fish more than you, you can get a cat and let it eat all these voluptuous bitches."

Fearing that the world would not be in chaos, Chen Xu instigated Zhong Xiaoqin in front of Chen Yu.

"I do have a cat, its name is Pikachu, but I left it with my mom."

After just one hour of spending time together, the even-tempered Zhong Xiaoqin noticed that the two brothers had very different personalities; one had social phobia, the other was a social stunner; one was terribly dull, the other was terribly lively. How could two people like these be brothers who grew up together?

Four dishes and a soup, Chen Yu's home course, Chen Xu didn't say anything and just let me do it, and accepted his hospitality with peace of mind.

At the dinner table, Zhong Xiaoqin also took the opportunity to talk about how she had asked Gu Jia to arrange a job for Chen Xu.

Being a good driver is one of the tasks Chen Xu has to complete in the current world, so he readily accepted Zhong Xiaoqin's arrangement.

"Then let's do it tomorrow. I happen to be on vacation tomorrow, so I can accompany you to Gu Jia's company."

From childhood to adulthood, Zhong Xiaoqin has always been the younger generation and the one who was taken care of; the appearance of her brother-in-law today made her feel like an elder, and she became more enthusiastic.

After dinner, Chen Xu did not stay long. He wisely said goodbye before Chen Yu started to chase him away.

"What on earth is in this box?"

After Chen Xu left, Zhong Xiaoqin began to look at the suitcase he brought.

"Don't expect too much. From what I know about him, there is a box of old vinegar inside. If you don't believe me, you can open it and take a look."

Chen Yu, who had just finished washing in the kitchen, came out and said.

"Just take a look."

Zhong Xiaoqin opened the suitcase.

"There's really some vinegar."

There were quite a few things in the suitcase, but because of Chen Yu's reminder, the first thing Zhong Xiaoqin noticed was the two bottles of Shanxi aged vinegar.

"I said so."

Upon hearing that it was really jealous, Chen Yu didn't come over. He turned back to the kitchen and continued washing.

"There's a note on the vinegar bottle: Shanxi aged vinegar, the king of Shanxi vinegar - Chen Yu's favorite. Honey, this is for you."

The note was posted by Chen Xu. It had a picture and words on it. The picture was a cartoon version of Chen Yu slurping at a vinegar bottle, and the words read - I am the King of Vinegar, I love to be jealous.

Zhong Xiaoqin was amused at just one look.

"What are you laughing at?"

Hearing the noise, Chen Yu came out of the kitchen again.

"Come and see for yourself, it's quite funny, the Vinegar King of Shanxi."

Zhong Xiaoqin took the opportunity to joke.

"This brat dares to make fun of me"

Chen Yu laughed and cursed when he saw the note, and at the same time he saw the other things in the suitcase.

To be honest, Chen Xu did prepare a lot of things; Pingyao beef, Fenjiu, Taiyuan Daqu, Liuweizhai braised pork, these are truly Shanxi specialties. Others include two ten-year-old wild ginseng and two boxes of top-quality bird's nests, all of which were labeled with notes saying that they were prepared for Zhong Xiaoqin's parents.

“These should cost a lot of money.”

Zhong Xiaoqin pointed at the things in the suitcase and said.

"It should be a little gift from my mother. When you have time, send these wines and ginseng to my parents. You can keep the bird's nest for yourself."

Chen Yu automatically supplemented his brain. In his opinion, these gifts were specially prepared by his mother in order to find a good job for Chen Xu in Shanghai.

.........

The next morning, Chen Xu arrived at Xu Huanshan's company, Jiamei Fireworks, on time according to the address. Zhong Xiaoqin was already waiting at the door.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you say half past nine? I thought I was early enough, but you were even earlier."

The appointment time was half past nine, and it was only nine o'clock now, so Chen Xu said this.

"It's my day off and I have nothing to do at home, so I came here early. By the way, thank you for the gift you brought. Chen Yu and I both like it very much."

"The King of Shanxi Vinegar?"

"Haha, how can you say that about your brother? But your cartoon drawing is so good, I recognized it was Chen Yu at first glance."

Zhong Xiaoqin was not angry either, she really liked this atmosphere.

Chapter 162 Enjoy life

Zhong Xiaoqin is also a frequent visitor to Xu Huanshan's company. Many employees greet her enthusiastically, and she responds to them one by one.

In the general manager's office, Chen Xu met the heroine of the show, the hexagonal warrior, the new urban woman Gu Jia and her eldest son and husband Xu Huanshan.

"Let me introduce you. This is Chen Xu, Chen Yu's younger brother. Chen Xu, this is Gu Jia and his lover Xu Huanshan."

Zhong Xiaoqin is very shallow in her worldly affairs, which can be seen from her introduction, but Chen Xu is not like that. He is an old goblin; he has seen a lot.

"Hello, Mr. Xu, and Mrs. Xu."

It is not appropriate to be too close when meeting for the first time; you should have a sense of awe towards your leader. Chen Xu played the role of a normal job seeker very well.

"Why call me Mr. Xu? That's too formal. Your brother Chen Yu and I are good friends, and Gu Jia and your sister-in-law are also good friends. Work hard in our company in the future, and I won't treat you unfairly."

This meeting was actually just a formality. As soon as Xu Huanshan saw Chen Xu, he decided to keep him; the young man looked energetic and it would be prestigious to take him out.

"Chen Xu, although we are all friends, we should still make some things clear first. The company has its own rules. There is a two-month internship period when you first join the company, and you will be promoted to a regular employee after two months. The internship salary is 6000 yuan per month, and 8000 yuan per month after promotion, plus some bonuses at the end of the year.

The social security includes five insurances and one housing fund, and the vacation is two days off a week. However, as a driver, your rest time is a bit unstable. Can you accept such conditions?"

Compared with Xu Huanshan, Gu Jia is much more rational.

"Sure. It doesn't matter how much money you make. I mainly want to learn something from Mr. Xu."

In Shanghai in 12, the treatment given by Gu Jia was not bad; Chen Xu said this to pave the way for what happened next.

"If it's ok, I'll ask HR to handle your entry procedures later. Also, since you just arrived in Shanghai, you can get familiar with the environment in the next few days and start working officially next Monday."

Having just given birth to Xu Ziyan and planning to be a full-time housewife in the future, Gu Jia needed someone in the company who could help her look after Xu Huanshan; Chen Xu was a good choice, she thought.

Seeing that Chen Xu successfully got the job, Zhong Xiaoqin breathed a sigh of relief; her brother-in-law had a job and a place to live, so he shouldn't disturb the world of two people between her and her husband.

As it turned out, she was overthinking it. Two weeks later, Chen Xu came to her again.

Girls all like to eat desserts, so Chen Xu asked her to meet him at a dessert shop that she and Gu Jia often went to.

Driving for your boss or his wife can really help you understand a lot of things.

"Chen Xu, what do you want from me?"

On a rare day off, Chen Yu was working overtime, so she went back to her parents' house to pet the cat, but was called out by Chen Xu.

"Sister-in-law, I ordered a cup of milk tea for you. Sister Jia said that you usually drink this."

"Oh, thank you."

"Sister-in-law, you are a Shanghai resident, right?"

After Zhong Xiaoqin sat down, Chen Xu began to get to the point.

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Have you paid social security for five years?"

"Counting last month, it's exactly five years. What's wrong?"

Zhong Xiaoqin was confused by Chen Xu's question.

"That's good, sister-in-law. The place I live in is too small and far from the company. It's not convenient for me to go to work. I want to buy a house in Shanghai."

"Pfft, what did you say?"

When buying a house in Shanghai, Zhong Xiaoqin was startled by Chen Xu's words, and spewed out a mouthful of milk tea.

"Sister-in-law, you..."

The two people's seats were facing each other, and Chen Xu was sprayed directly.

"Um, sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

Zhong Xiaoqin also reacted and quickly used the tissue to wipe Chen Xu.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, I can do it myself."

As Chen Xu spoke, he took the tissue and started wiping it himself.

"Chen Xu, you just said you want to buy a house in Shanghai. Do you know the housing prices in Shanghai?"
