Chapter 165 You are just an old cow
Zhang Yunqi knew that Chu Jian should go to work today, so he asked Ji Ling if she wanted to go to the cold drink shop where Chu Jian worked during the summer vacation. Ji Ling said no, so he smiled and nodded.

The two of them walked around Ximen Street for an afternoon. In the evening, Zhang Yunqi suggested that they go to Guihuafang to eat tea oil roasted chicken. Ji Ling said she didn't want to eat it, but he had to smile and nod his head.

When this girl is in a bad mood, it is best not to provoke her, otherwise your head will hurt. Zhang Yunqi stopped a taxi on the side of the road, sent Ji Ling into the car, then stopped another taxi and went straight to Lianzhong Trading.

Not counting the Lianzhong trade offices set up in other urban areas, the company headquarters has now expanded into a team of more than 30 people, half of whom are sales staff, some of whom are new faces that Zhang Yunqi has never met.

When he arrived at the company, it was already past the time to get off work, but there were still five or six marketing department staff members working overtime and making phone calls to communicate with clients. Zhang Yunqi did not disturb them and walked towards his office.

"Our company is about to close. Who are you looking for?"

Zhang Yunqi hadn't walked a few meters when he met a young man wearing black-framed glasses. He was not very old, in his early twenties. Zhang Yunqi glanced at him. He was a new face with a good attitude and a smile on his face. Zhang Yunqi thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I'm here to learn about the Subor computer learning machine."

The young man in the black frame said, "It's already off work now. How about you leave your contact information and I'll talk to you in detail tomorrow?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "I'm not free tomorrow."

"Then I will talk to you now. Please wait." The young man in the black frame did not neglect him. He invited Zhang Yunqi to sit on the sofa next to him and poured him a glass of water. Then he sat opposite him and asked with a smile: "Sorry for waiting for a long time. What's your name?"

"My surname is Zhang."

"It seems that you have a strong connection with Lianzhong. Our company's boss is also named Zhang." The young man was very good at getting into the topic. He pushed his black-framed glasses, talked about a few irrelevant things, and then began to introduce Lianzhong Trade and Subor Computer Learning Machine in detail. There was nothing outstanding about it, but he spoke clearly and got to the point of every question. It was obvious that this new employee had put a lot of effort into his business.

Zhang Yunqi asked a few tricky questions, and the young man in the black frame was able to explain himself clearly. The only bad thing might be that he always referred to him as Mr. Zhang. Although it is a respectful title, it creates a sense of distance. Look at the excellent sales staff in the new environment in later generations, they all call each other brother or sister in a very sweet way.

"Mr. Zhang, you're here."

At this time, Tan Yun, the director of marketing department, came out of the office. He saw Zhang Yunqi chatting enthusiastically with his new employee Liao Heng. He was extremely surprised. Liao Heng had only been in the company for a few days, but he had already started dealing with the boss.

The black-framed young man named Liao Heng was also a little surprised. He stood up and asked, "Mr. Tan, do you know this Mr. Zhang?"

Tan Yun couldn't help but feel like crying. She looked at the young man in the black frame and was about to speak, but Zhang Yunqi waved his hand and asked, "Are all the employees in your department working overtime?"

Tan Yun immediately nodded after reacting: "Mr. Zhang, there are many customers who want to do this Xiaobawang now, and the employees also hope to do more for the company."

Zhang Yunqi said, "Then call everyone over and have a chat." After a pause, he said to the black-framed young man who was looking at him in confusion, "Please go to Guihuafang and pack a few servings of roast chicken with tea oil. I'll treat everyone to a midnight snack."

＊＊＊＊＊＊
On the first day of summer vacation, Chu Jian got up early as usual, fetched two buckets of water from a nearby well, washed her and her sister Chu Xin's clothes and hung them in the yard, and then ate the noodles cooked by her mother.

In the past, her family cooked noodles in clear soup with a little salt, very little oil, and sprinkled with some chopped green onions, but no matter how delicious it was, Chu Jian would always finish the soup and noodles, because this way she would not be too hungry to read before the third class in the morning was over; and because she only had money to buy a steamed bun for lunch every day. Now it is different.

Every day, her mother would cook noodles with a poached egg and broth. Since her mother went to work at Zhang Yunqi's fish meal shop, the family no longer had to worry about food and daily necessities.

After breakfast, Chu Jian went out with her mother and sister, and then parted ways at the intersection. Her mother took Chu Xin to Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Powder Shop, and she went to a Guangming brand cold drink shop on Ximen Street to work during the summer vacation.

Guangming brand cold drinks was born in 1950 and was founded by Yimin Food Factory No. . It mainly produces cold drinks such as popsicles, ice cream, ice bricks, etc. in various flavors. It must be mentioned that the "Guangming brand", a well-known national brand that has been passed down to this day, was created by a top boss.

Under his leadership, Guangming brand cold drinks defeated the leader of the cold drinks industry at that time, Meinu brand cold drinks, in the early days of the founding of New China, and became the best-selling cold drinks brand in China from the 1960s to the early 1990s. There were Guangming brand cold drinks supply points everywhere in the country, especially in the hot summer season, when countless mobile sales teams would appear on the streets, wearing large straw hats to protect the sun and carrying foam refrigerated drink boxes on their backs. They would knock on wooden signs and sing in a long voice, "Guangming brand popsicles", and sell their products from door to door.

The Guangming cold drink shop on Ximen Street has been open for several years. It is located at the intersection of Ximen Street and Guihuafang, where there is the most traffic. Business has always been good, especially in the summer.

The owner of this cold drink shop is a middle-aged woman in her fifties. Now the management is handed over to her son. Her son is Wei Ting, who is in his twenties, has dyed yellow hair, and has a tiger tattooed on his left arm. He looks very playful. He basically does not come to the shop at ordinary times, but is recruiting people to do work. About ten days ago, on a weekend, Chu Jian came for an interview. He stared at Chu Jian's face for a while, and then asked her to come to work directly after the final exam.

Working in this kind of cold drink shop, the job content is actually quite simple. All you have to do is provide cold drinks according to the customers' requirements. In addition to various kinds of ice cream and popsicles, this shop also supplies a variety of beverages and iced tea that needs to be mixed manually. She got the hang of it quickly at first. Although the young boss Wei Ting was very concerned and asked her to watch and learn by the side on the first day, she was more diligent and busier than another old employee.

This busy work lasts the whole day.

She worked from nine in the morning to eight in the evening, eleven hours a day, and the salary was 80 yuan a month. It was quite tiring at first. Except for lunch, she basically never sat down. But her boss Wei Ting was a nice man. When she got off work, he gave her 10 yuan, saying it was a joining bonus for good luck.

What Chu Jian didn't know was that Wei Ting had never given any red envelope to the old employee who had come a while earlier than her; what she didn't know was that because of her arrival, the business of Guangming Cold Drink Shop had increased significantly today; what she didn't know was that when she left, Wei Ting stared at her vague back under the street light for a long time...

Finally, the view was blocked by Ji Ling.

Not long after Chu Jian went out, Ji Ling appeared in Guangming Cold Drink Shop with a tall, mighty, masculine and handsome young man. She saw Wei Ting staring at Chu Jian's back in a daze, and said with a smile: "Boss, this girl is pretty, isn't she? But please, do you know that you are just an old cow in front of her?"

Wei Ting's face suddenly turned red, but when his eyes swept to the girl's face, his voice became weaker: "What did you say?"

Ji Ling said: "Nothing, please fire one person."

Wei Ting felt that the girl in front of him was unreasonable: "Who are you? Why?"

"Based on this."

The young man that Ji Ling brought over had been leaning against the counter with his hands folded without saying a word. Upon hearing this, he directly took out a sign: "Jiang Xinzhou, the captain of the Public Security Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, buddy, I see you have dyed your hair yellow and tattooed tigers, let's talk, which nightclub do you like to go to?"
