My sister-in-law from Qingdao

My cousin's wife left, and I looked around my dormitory room.

The floor was swept clean, and a snow-white towel hung on the clothes rack next to it. Soap, shampoo, toothbrush, and toothpaste were placed on the table.

There was even a bag of snacks in the corner next to it.

On the small bed, brand-new bedding was laid out, and a faint fragrance wafted in the air.

Seeing this, I couldn't quite describe the feeling in my heart. I hurried to the window and just then saw my cousin-in-law open the car door and get into the car.

Her car drove further and further away, disappearing from my sight.

Thinking about my sister-in-law's every move, I hesitated for a long time before finally taking out my phone and calling my cousin.

"Xiao Dong, I'm sorry, I've been quite busy these past few days, so I haven't been able to help you find a job or take you to any companies. Has your sister-in-law already arranged everything for you?"

When I answered the phone, my cousin's voice came through. His voice was a little hoarse, and he looked tired and hungover.

"Brother, thank you, and thank you sister-in-law too. There are a few things I'm not sure if I should say to you."

"Just tell me what's on your mind, and come to me if you have any difficulties."

"I've been here for two days and stayed at your house for two days. I've heard you and your sister-in-law arguing three times. Can you two please stop arguing all the time?"

I regretted it as soon as I said it. I was worried that my cousin was overthinking things and that he would have another argument with his wife when he got home.

Sure enough, my cousin's tone changed, becoming serious and earnest, even with a hint of coldness.

"What did that bitch say to you?"

"Brother, don't overthink it. My sister-in-law didn't tell me anything. I overheard everything. I stayed at your house for two nights, and you two argued three times. Do you think I didn't know?"

My cousin sighed softly and said, "There are some things I can't tell you. You've been here for several days, and I haven't been able to spend much time with you. How about this, I'll come find you tonight, and we'll have a good drink together. We brothers can also have a heart-to-heart talk."

I'm pretty busy right now, so I'll have to go later. See you tonight.

After hanging up the phone, I lay in bed, and for some reason, I kept feeling the fragrance of my sister-in-law in the air.

I couldn't resist calling my sister-in-law.

"Xiao Dong, is there anything you need? If so, I'll buy it for you now." Su Xiaoya's warm voice came from the phone.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. You told me not to call my brother, but I couldn't help myself and called him anyway."

My cousin's wife gave a wry smile and said, "So what if they made the call? What's there to be afraid of when it's just a phone call?"

"I called him because I didn't want you two to fight anymore. You're both so young. If you start arguing now, how are you going to live your lives in the future?"

"Thank you. I wish your cousin was like you. Ignorant people are unreasonable and scary."

The sister-in-law's voice carried a hint of loneliness and helplessness.

"My brother is coming to see me tonight, and I'll have a good talk with him. Don't worry too much, and don't be too sad."

"Okay, if he comes to see you, you should both drink less. Alcohol is no good; it damages the brain, the liver, and the relationship."

I spent the whole afternoon familiarizing myself with the business.

Near the end of the workday, Lin Moli called me on the internal line and asked me to come to her office.

I arrived at her office and saw the woman wearing a white blouse and a navy blue pencil skirt. She was standing by the window, arms crossed, looking out.

Seeing me enter, he casually pointed to the sofa next to him and smiled, inviting me to sit down.

"How's it going? Got a day at work? Getting used to it?"

"Great, I'm slowly getting used to it, but I haven't started looking for clients yet."

"Clients can't be found overnight. We need to attend trade fairs and visit clients. You can get used to it for a week first, and then I'll have Manager Yu arrange a few clients for you."

Our Linglong drawnwork factory has accumulated a considerable number of clients over the years. If you work hard, achieving tens of millions in sales annually is quite easy.

Lin Moli's words finally put my mind at ease. I came from the countryside to work and earn money. If I can close tens of millions of deals in a year, my commission can reach hundreds of thousands. With my basic salary, life will probably be a little easier.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. I will definitely work hard."

"I see you're about the same age as Su Xiaoya, is she really your sister-in-law?" Lin Moli asked, changing the subject.

"Yes, she is my cousin's wife. My name is Chen Dong and my cousin's name is Chen Fang. My cousin is only two months older than me, so my cousin's wife is about the same age as me."

"I see. I've met your cousin before, but I just can't understand why Su Xiaoya would marry him?"

When Lin Moli said those words, I was stunned. I thought I was the only one who felt that my cousin was not good enough for his wife, but I didn't expect Lin Moli to have the same idea.

Seeing me in a daze, Lin Moli hurriedly apologized, "My damn mouth! Why did I blurt out all that stuff? I forgot you and your cousin are brothers. I'm so sorry, so sorry!"

"It's okay, what you said is very objective. My cousin has a lower level of education, but he's still quite capable."

"Education level is not important, wealth is not important, character is very important."

I both believe and don't believe Lin Moli's words.

Rich people talk about character, poor people talk about money.

When a person is poor, their character deteriorates; when a ghost is rich, he can still appear to be a gentleman.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Now that you've joined the company, how about I throw you a welcome dinner tonight? I'll invite everyone from your foreign trade department, and a few middle-level managers as well."

I was taken aback. I never expected that the CEO of a company would host a welcome dinner for me.

But I still said, "Mr. Lin, I've already made plans with my brother. He's coming to see me tonight and wants to have dinner with me."

"Oh, I see. Then let's set it for tomorrow. You and your brother can have a good talk tonight. I heard from your sister-in-law that since you've only been here a few days, your brother hasn't had much time to spend with you."

With such an understanding and considerate female boss, I suddenly felt that life had become much brighter.

With the help of my cousin and sister-in-law, and a boss like this at work, I believe life will only get better and better.

"Do you smoke?" Lin Moli asked suddenly, as if she had just remembered something.

"I smoke occasionally, not much." I mistakenly thought Lin Moli wanted to give me a cigarette, after all, I saw a box of Yuhua stones on the table.

"Men can do better in business if they smoke and drink a little. If they don't smoke or drink, it's sometimes difficult to conduct business."

Lin Moli stood up and went to the rest room inside, where she actually took out two beams of Taishan Buddha light.

"This was given to me by a customer last time. I only smoke slim cigarettes; this one is too thick. You can take it and smoke it."
