Chapter 301 Everyone looks down on you, but you just don’t try to live up to your expectations
Holding the phone, Lin Jiang sent a message to He Siyao, asking her to help him receive the express delivery.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, I saw Shen Qingqiu walking out of the police station in high heels.

Under the hem of the cashmere coat are legs wrapped in thick black stockings.

Her tall figure and charming charm made her out of place with the people in the small town, as if they were from two different worlds.

"Is everything done?"

Shen Qingqiu nodded happily, his face showing obvious joy.

For her, as long as she moved her household registration, she would be able to completely leave this place.

Afterwards, the two went back to say goodbye to her aunt and uncle and embarked on their journey back home.

As the car got farther and farther away, Lin Jiang looked at the small town behind him through the rearview mirror, feeling a little absent-minded.

With the development of the times, the environment and people here seem to be a generation away from those in big cities. It seems that leaving here is the most correct choice for Shen Qingqiu.

Just like Shen Ziquan and Liu Qianglong, they thought that as long as they wrote a written agreement, Shen Qingqiu would be theirs.

It’s magical enough when you think about it.

When the car arrived at the provincial capital, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Under normal circumstances, the two could buy tickets to leave that evening, but because they had a car and needed to contact a logistics company for transportation, they booked tickets for the next day.

Lin Jiang slowly drove the car to the hotel. After putting down the luggage, the two went out to eat together.

After tasting the local specialties, the two did not rush back, but drove around the city.

Shen Qingqiu was in an especially good mood and took Lin Jiang to the local night market and to her former high school.

"This is where I went to school. It's the best high school in the province. It should be pretty good." Shen Qingqiu introduced proudly.

"So you've been living on campus since then."

"Well, this is a private school. My high school entrance exam scores were pretty good, so the school waived my tuition and gave me a 500 yuan subsidy every month in order to recruit me. So I came here to study."

The cold wind ruffled Shen Qingqiu's hair. Looking at the brightly lit teaching building, her eyes were filled with relief.

"If the school hadn't given me this kind of treatment, I might not even be able to go to high school."

Faced with the difficult life he had once lived, Shen Qingqiu could now face it calmly.

At this moment, it is really most appropriate to describe her as a light boat that has passed through thousands of mountains.

"So there is always a way out. Talent is like pregnancy, it cannot be hidden."

Shen Qingqiu smiled playfully, "Thank you, boss, for providing me with such high emotional value."

"Work hard in the future and strive to create greater value for me."

“I am willing to work all my life for the accumulation of capitalist wealth.”

As he said that, Shen Qingqiu pulled Lin Jiang and said, "Come on, let's go. I'll take you to eat something good."

There is a fried chicken shop a few dozen meters to the left of the school gate. Judging from the plaque in front of the door, it is quite old.

"Boss, a burger."

"Okay, six dollars."

Shen Qingqiu paid the money, and the two of them waited in the store.

Lin Jiang looked around and saw that the decoration of the store was very old and the chairs were almost covered with patina.

Soon, the burgers were ready and the two men took them back to the car.

"Taste it."

Lin Jiang first looked at the outer packaging, then took out the hamburger and found that it was very ordinary inside and out, with nothing special about it.

I tried it based on the principle that bad movies can produce great songs and shabby shops can produce delicious food.

"How do you feel? Give me some comments."

Lin Jiang chewed it slowly, feeling as if everyone else was looking down on him, but he just wasn't doing enough to live up to his expectations.

“Evaluation is…”

Lin Jiang looked at Shen Qingqiu, "Do you want to tell the truth?"

"of course."

"The taste is quite ordinary, nothing special." Lin Jiang looked at Shen Qingqiu, "Do you think their taste is good?"

“It does taste a bit ordinary, but the price is not expensive.”

"If it's 10 yuan, I won't buy it. But at 6 yuan, it's very cost-effective."

"This shop has been open for many years. When I was in school, I wanted to buy one every time I passed by it. I wanted to know what the burger tasted like, but I never had the heart to do so. Then I was admitted to Jiaotong University and received a scholarship in my freshman year. When I went home, I bought one of each flavor, but after trying them, I found that the taste was indeed quite ordinary."

Lin Jiang looked at the hamburger in his hand and felt that it was full of extraordinary meaning.

Shen Qingqiu hosted a banquet for her childhood self, and at the same time, she brought herself into her childhood story...

……

The next morning, Lin Jiang contacted the logistics company, checked in the car, and then took a taxi to the airport.

Before checking in their luggage, they both changed into the clothes they wore when they came here. The temperature in Zhonghai was still above zero, so it would be a bit inappropriate to wear the same clothes.

Against the backdrop of the woolen coat, Shen Qingqiu's figure looked even more curvy, and people passing by the airport would subconsciously take a few more glances at him.

Of course, there are also people who look at Lin Jiang.

When we returned to Zhonghai, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Lin Jiang drove and sent Shen Qingqiu back.

"Any plans for tonight?"

"It's okay, what's wrong?"

"Would you like to have dinner together?"

"also."

buzzing-

On the way back, Shen Qingqiu's phone rang and someone sent him a video.

"Sister Shen, have a nice trip."

After the video was connected, a familiar and cheerful voice was heard.

Lin Jiang glanced at the screen and saw that the person who sent her the video was Zheng Wenqi.

But Zheng Wenqi's way of addressing Shen Qingqiu was quite interesting.

When it comes to graduate school, the way students address their teachers will change.

Some people would call him teacher, some would call him boss, and some, like Zheng Wenqi, would call him sister or brother.

As for what it is called specifically, it depends on each person's personality.

However, it can also be seen from this point that Zheng Wenqi and Shen Qingqiu should have a very good relationship.

"It's not a trip, it's to go home and do some things. Now it's all done." Shen Qingqiu said:
"Hui Pin City will open soon, how do you feel about it?"

"There are so many supply chain issues. I just had a quarrel with my manager. I am so angry. I urgently need Sister Shen to treat me to a big meal to comfort my young heart."

Shen Qingqiu glanced at Lin Jiang, who also understood what she meant. He nodded and mouthed the words "barbecue restaurant" to her.

"On the fourth floor of Berkeley, Zhongjiang BBQ Restaurant, call Shengyao to come along."

"Okay, I still have an hour before I get off work, see you later."

"it is good."

Shen Qingqiu hung up the video, and Lin Jiang said with a smile:
"You two have a pretty good relationship. I call you Sister Shen."

"Wenqi's personality is more cheerful. In comparison, Shengyao is more honest and calmer than her."

After a pause, Shen Qingqiu continued: "I talked to Sheng Yao before, he has no plans to study for a doctorate. After he finishes his graduation thesis, I will recommend him to come to you. As for whether he will stay, I can't say."

After all, they are graduate students of Jiaotong University. They have enough strength to choose a better platform, so whether they can stay or not is not up to Shen Qingqiu.

"If it doesn't work, I'll just throw money at them. It would be best if I could keep both of them."

"Shengyao is more likely, but Wenqi may not be. Her parents are both civil servants, and she will most likely join the system after graduation. I'll talk to her alone when I have a chance to see what she thinks."

"If your family has connections in this area, it's unlikely that you'll be able to work outside."

"I think so too. Let's put our hopes on Sheng Yao."

Lin Jiang nodded. If he could win the other party over, he would be considered a high-level talent.

Soon, Lin Jiang drove to Shen Qingqiu's house, took the luggage, and went upstairs together.

This was Lin Jiang's second time coming to her home, but his first time coming inside.

The area is not big, about 50 square meters, with two bedrooms and a living room. It is very clean and enough for one person.

"Please sit for a while. You must be tired after driving all the way. I'll make you some tea."

"Don't bother, it's almost time. You're a teacher, you can't go too late."

"That's right, I'll go change my clothes, and then we'll go."

Shen Qingqiu returned to the room. Lin Jiang took out his phone and sent a message to the manager of the Berkeley barbecue restaurant, asking her to reserve a table for him.

Not long after, Shen Qingqiu came out.

She was wearing a very casual sportswear and a pair of white socks. Her hair was casually tied behind her head. She looked relaxed and casual.

"I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be right back."

Lin Jiang nodded, as if every girl's last step before leaving the house was to go to the bathroom, and Shen Qingqiu was no exception.

After coming out of the bathroom, Shen Qingqiu took out a pair of sneakers from the shoe cabinet, and the two of them went out together and drove towards Shell.

……

Phase II of Xingcheng Bay, Huipin City.

At six o'clock in the evening, Zheng Wenqi turned off the computer and stretched.

The worker finished his day's tasks and prepared to have a feast with Shen Qingqiu in the evening, and vent his anger at the same time.

Seeing Zheng Wenqi picking up her bag and leaving, the other colleagues around her subconsciously looked at her.

Although it was time to get off work, everyone in the office stayed to work overtime on their own initiative.

At this moment, Zheng Wenqi stood out from the crowd.

Everyone knew she was leaving, but no one dared to go with her.

Even if you have finished the work at hand, you still have to stay and pretend to win the favor of your leader.

"Zheng Wenqi, where are you going?"

Just as Zheng Wenqi walked to the door, a middle-aged man in a suit walked out from the independent office in the partition room.

The man's name is Liu Chenyou, and he is the purchasing manager of Huipincheng.

"It's just six o'clock, why are you getting off work?" Liu Chenyou said very dissatisfiedly.

Zheng Wenqi looked at her watch and said, "Isn't it six o'clock when I get off work? It should be okay for me to leave at this time."

"It's a busy time at the company. Who is leaving get off work so early? All my colleagues are busy, why do you want to leave early?"

"They are them, I am me, I have already finished my work, why can't I leave?"

The post-2000s generation is cleaning up the workplace, and this statement is not made in vain.

Zheng Wenqi had been spoiled since childhood. Her family was not short of money, let alone a job, so naturally she did not spoil Liu Chenyou.

"Can't you see that I stayed here? Even I, the leader, didn't leave, but you left. How can that be reasonable?"

"That's also your problem. Besides, I've already worked overtime in the first few days, and you didn't pay me overtime, so I have to go home when the time comes, and no one can stop me."

The other colleagues in the office were silent. Although they were looking at the computer, their peripheral vision was on Zheng Wenqi and Liu Chenyou.

This girl is so awesome, she is worthy of being a post-00s, she is just extraordinary.

Liu Chenyou felt a little embarrassed and raised his tone, ready to teach her a lesson.

"You are too disorganized and undisciplined. You don't even think of the company as your home. You don't have any dedication at all. How can the company trust you to train you?"

"Are you happy only if you stay here and do useless work? Don't manage employees with the mindset of a slave owner. Work is about efficiency. Power exists to better maintain order, not as a tool for you to maintain your dignity."

Zheng Wenqi scolded Liu Chenyou mercilessly, picked up her bag, and left in big strides.

The office was filled with silence and pressure. Other colleagues did not even dare to breathe and mentally began to cheer for Zheng Wenqi.

They thought so too, but no one dared to do it.

They did not graduate from prestigious universities, and have no connections or background. This job is their lifeline and they dare not lose it easily.

"Damn it! It's a bad habit!"

After cursing, Liu Chenyou left.

I have lost so much face that if I don't leave now, others will laugh at me.

As soon as Liu Chenyou left, a girl in work uniform followed him out with a folder in her hand.

The girl's name is Li Shuting, and her position is the same as Zheng Wenqi's, both are management trainees.

But their status is completely different.

Li Shuting is just a graduate student at an ordinary 211 school, and her undergraduate degree is from a non- university.

On the other hand, Zheng Wenqi has both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree from a top 985 university. It is somewhat beyond her reach for Huipin Group for her to be able to come here as a management trainee.

When it comes to Li Shuting, it's the opposite. She is trying to get ahead of herself by marrying into Huipin Group.

As time went by, the gap between the two became apparent. When there was an opportunity for promotion, Zheng Wenqi would definitely be the first one considered, and Li Shuting would have to wait a little further.

For these reasons, the two became competitors.

"Manager Liu."

Seeing Li Shuting behind him, Liu Chenyou, who was about to light the cigarette, put away his lighter.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"Manager Liu, this is the purchase plan and project list for the 31st. I just sorted it out. Please take a look."

After taking the document handed over by Li Shuting, Liu Chenyou pointed out several errors.

"Make some changes to these parts and bring them to me tomorrow."

"I'll change it in a minute. It doesn't matter when I go back. It's the same at home and at work." Li Shuting said with a smile.

"Although your academic qualifications are not as good as hers, your hard-working spirit is much better than hers."

"In fact, Wenqi is also very good, but then again, she hasn't graduated yet and has less work experience. She will definitely not be able to adapt to the workplace. She just needs some training to get used to it."

Standing beside Liu Chenyou, Li Shuting had no intention of leaving.

"My first job was at Xintiandi as a management trainee. I was mainly responsible for the food procurement supply chain. I had to face various problems every day, as well as customer complaints. Although I was exhausted every day for more than a year, I was lucky that I persisted. Now that I think about it, that experience was also a training for me."

Liu Chenyou said nothing, took out his lighter and prepared to light a cigarette.

Li Shuting was very considerate and helped him block the wind.

"What you said reminds me that a troublemaker like this must be taught a lesson. Let her go to the food section tomorrow. I don't believe that I can't cure her!"

"Why don't you let me take care of her? After all, I have done this kind of work before."

"That's fine. By the way, teach her some lessons on how to behave."
