Chapter 663 Giving a Watch

Chen Qing was about to travel to Haishi. During the meeting, he gave his subordinates a lot of instructions and also asked Xi Gaomin and Wang Weiqiang to coordinate resources with Shen Yaopeng and Qi Yuanchao: "They will sponsor our technical school. There will be no shortage of teachers, students, and supplies. Remember to be a little nicer to them."

Xi Gaomin and Wang Weiqiang were both stunned!
How could their factory manager cause such a big incident out of the blue!

The fact that technical schools guarantee job placement is already a huge attraction. Now, with abundant resources, excellent equipment, outstanding teachers, and promising prospects, it's easy to predict that vocational schools will become a highly sought-after institution.

Tian Mengya raised her hand and asked, "Can these chefs work night shifts?"

She couldn't learn the technical skills, but she really wanted to learn about the experience of working for a foreign trade company.

Chen Qing hesitated and said, "I'm not sure. If the teachers are willing to work overtime and get a raise, we can consider it."

Life-long learning.

She is not omnipotent.

If she could work night shifts, she would like to learn how to do it properly.

Contemporary foreign trade experience is always of some significance.

Chen Qing instructed Xi Gaomin: "We need to do a good job of publicity. The number of students coming to take the exam will definitely increase. Then we can select students. Try not to let any troublemakers come. I hope the school is a place for good study."

Everyone understands what she means.

She dislikes people who go on a reporting spree over the smallest things.

Xi Gaomin: "Okay, I understand."

Seeing that everyone was alright, Chen Qing adjourned the meeting and began preparations for the trip to Haishi.

Qin Sanhua was extremely nervous.

She's never left the area within a ten-mile radius of her home since she was a child. The thought of suddenly having to go to Haishi with the factory manager is terrifying!

She didn't know if she was a country bumpkin, whether she would be laughed at, or whether it would be shameful for her to follow the factory manager. A jumble of thoughts swirled in her mind, making her feel very troubled.

The day before departure, Qin Daya saw that her daughter was so nervous that she couldn't eat, and asked, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Qin Sanhua patted herself and shook her legs wildly: "I can do it!"

She passed the exam.

He was even specially instructed by the factory manager.

It definitely works!

But Qin Sanhua was a little scared to go to an unfamiliar place.

As a mother, Qin Daya was even more open-minded than her daughter: "Why are you so nervous? Comrade Chen is a very capable person, and he's good to us. He definitely won't harm you."

"I didn't say that Director Chen harmed me... I was just nervous!" Qin Sanhua broke down.

Shanghai is a big city.

And she also had to accompany the factory manager to meet some high-ranking officials!
What if I don't do it well and cause trouble for the factory manager?!

Qin Daya couldn't understand her daughter's breakdown either, so she just silently stuffed twenty yuan into her daughter's schoolbag containing her personal belongings.

Qin Sanhua didn't notice.

The tension remains.

Meanwhile, Chen Qing was also preparing all the necessary items for his trip to Shanghai.

Xiao Yu tugged at her aunt's clothes, following closely behind.

My aunt suddenly had to go on a business trip, and she was really, really sad!
"Auntie, remember to think of me!"

"Yes, I always carry your photo with me." Chen Qing touched her little face, and seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, he comforted her, "I'll be back soon, don't be sad, okay?"

"I understand. I'll carry your photo with me, and I'll think of you no matter what I do." Xiaoyu's voice choked with sobs; she felt her heart was breaking, and she wasn't the complete Xiaoyu anymore. Chen Qing hugged her to comfort her.

Xiaoyu pressed her cheek tightly against her aunt, reluctant to part.

Chen Qing held her and coaxed her to sleep.

Xiao Yu's eyes were dark and bright, and her soft black hair was wet with tears, clinging to her snow-white cheeks. It was heartbreaking to see.

Once Xiaoyu's breathing was even and she was fast asleep, Chen Qing tiptoed back to the room. After she got back, she stretched and realized she had been a bit neurotic.

When I was looking at Xiaoyu just now, I felt so sorry for her and thought business trips were incredibly annoying. But when I got back to my room and saw my suitcase, and thought about the wonderful business trip that was about to begin, I was overjoyed.

He Yuan stared at her with a deep gaze: "Tone it down a bit."

"What did I do wrong? I'm just having a good time, and you're still criticizing me? That's going too far!" Chen Qing checked her luggage again, then took out her savings and counted out two thousand yuan.

This money represents half of the family's savings.

Since they hadn't bought any big items for the family and both she and He Yuan had high salaries, they saved more and more money.

Although He Yuan's working hours were not long, the research institute still paid him a salary because he was worth many people, and it would be unreasonable not to pay him.

Therefore, the family's current savings are approaching five thousand.

Chen Qing took out a needle and thread and sewed the money up.

He Yuan complained, "You're acting like you're about to run away."

"Why are you being so sarcastic all the time? When you're out and about, you need to have money to feel secure. Besides, He Yuan, you have to think about it. I won't be able to travel alone for the next three to five years... or maybe not. You'll find someone to take care of the child, so I can still go on business trips." Chen Qing laughed.

He Yuan's face darkened.

He felt that business trips were normal.

But she was too happy.

That seems abnormal!

The key point is that she also wore nice clothes and bought special cosmetics!!!
He Yuan fell silent.

Chen Qing questioned, "Are you not going to spend money on me?!"

He Yuan's eyes were deep and his thin lips were tightly pressed together; he was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

Chen Qing glanced at him cautiously. He was holding a book, sitting casually on the bed. His pale skin, thick features, and dark, narrow eyes made him look like a traditional Chinese ink painting. Her mood instantly improved, and she was willing to coax him. "I just wanted to see if Shanghai had a Friendship Store like the one in the capital. If there is, I'll buy us both something valuable to save for our old age... Sigh, a Rolex!"

Chen Qing stepped forward in shock to look at him.

Seeing her incredulous expression, He Yuan smiled and helped her put the watch on her wrist: "I bought it secretly."

"You borrowed money from Fu Anhua?!"

Chen Qing asked.

He Yuan nodded: "It's already been returned."

"How did you pay it back? Did you take the money?" Chen Qing didn't remember He Yuan asking her for money.

“Many people owe me money, and in order to repay Fu Anhua’s debt, I went to collect the debts.”

He has many, many pen pals.

Occasionally, someone would borrow money from him, and he would take on extra jobs to earn money for them. Since he didn't hand over this extra income, he ended up with a lot of IOUs.

Chen Qing looked down at the Rolex and felt its weight. The champagne dial shone softly in the light, and the unique triangular fluted bezel shimmered with a diamond-like luster. The cool metallic touch and the delicate friction of the five-link bracelet felt like a gift spanning different eras was gently tied to her wrist. Her heart felt as if it had been gently poked, a bittersweet ache.
