Getting rich in chronology

Mingzhu City, Liulin High School.

Before the class time, the students who came to the classroom one after another, some were reading and studying, but more of them gathered together in twos and threes, chatting enthusiastically before class.

A few boys sat around a corner, chatting loudly about the new delicious and fun things that Mingzhu City has recently released.

Liulin High School only requires school uniforms when there are assemblies on Mondays or when the school has group activities. Students from better-off families prefer to wear regular uniforms.

These boys obviously come from a good family background. The clothes and shoes on their bodies are all popular styles, and they even wear the latest electronic watches on their wrists.

Electronic watches have not been out for a long time now, and it is the most fashionable time. If anyone wears one, it will be more arrogant than ordinary watches.

Compared with other students' plain and flat-cut students' hair, their hair has obviously been carefully combed, carefully combed into threes and sevens or in the middle, and some even applied hairspray.

In the video hall of the skating rink, you can play whatever is interesting.

The latest movie, the fanciest ice skating skills are all their favorite topics.

Some students who couldn't get into their topic watched eagerly, talked in low voices, and couldn't hide their envious expressions on their faces.

The class time was getting closer, and there were more and more students in the classroom. At this time, several young and beautiful girls walked in together, talking and laughing.

The boys gathered together winked and pushed the tall boy sitting on the table in the middle.

Because the movement was too loud, it even attracted the attention of the girls who just came in. They didn't feel embarrassed at all, but laughed inexplicably.

"Get out, don't make trouble." The tall boy laughed and cursed, jumped off the table, walked up to the most beautiful girl, and asked with a smile: "Beautiful, I have an appointment with Jiang Peng and the others to go to the skating rink tomorrow weekend. Want to come together? It's fun, I can teach you."

A curly-haired girl who came in with Chen Meili glanced at him lightly, and said with a smile, "Just invite Meili alone, why don't you invite us?"

"Please, it is my honor, Sheng Yu, for all the beauties to show your face." Sheng Yu bent down and gave a gentlemanly salute.

Sheng Yu is handsome and has a wicked temperament when he smiles.

But he comes from a good family, and he has learned a set of so-called gentleman's etiquette. He treats girls very gently and is very good at speaking well. Compared with other boys who are rough and straightforward, Sheng Yu is very special.

He is the most popular boy in the class, and even many girls in other classes like him.

The girls around were flattered by his phrase "beauty", and they blushed and lowered their heads introvertedly, while a few lively girls started laughing.

The curly-haired girl who spoke just now smiled and said, "That's pretty sweet, but..."

She looked at Chen Meili, who was taking out books from her schoolbag with a calm face, and winked at her: "It's a pity, student Sheng, that your plan will come to nothing."

Sheng Yu raised his eyebrows: "Is there any problem?"

The curly-haired girl bumped into Chen Meili lightly, and said with a smile, "Are you going?"

Chen Meili was involved, and she was very embarrassed: "He is asking you, you can go if you want, and you don't want to go if you don't want to, don't ask me."

The curly-haired girl curled her lips: "Didn't you invite me first? Forget it, let's agree, I still won't go skating."

Sheng Yu's eyes quickly scanned the faces of the girls who came in together just now, and sure enough, several of them showed regretful expressions.

With a sudden change of thought, Sheng Yu pretended to be curious and said, "Are there any group activities? Can I participate?"

"Then we have to ask about beauty." The curly-haired girl said.

Sheng Yu's gaze was firmly locked on Chen Meili. Chen Meili was very uncomfortable being watched by him. After thinking about it, she couldn't hide this kind of thing, so she simply said: "I am going to tell everyone that tomorrow is my birthday , please come to my house to play, students who have time can come."

Liulin High School is not like her previous school. Now there are only more than 30 students in each class.

She transferred from another school half a year ago. Many students in the class are not familiar with her, so she probably won't go there.

The three or five girls who were actually invited were well-connected, but now they were exposed in front of Sheng Yu, and Chen Meili simply invited them together.

When Sheng Yu celebrated her birthday before, she was also invited, so I wanted to invite her back.

"Jiang Peng, Zhang Xin, if you have time, come too." Chen Meili said warmly.

Since Sheng Yu was invited, he might as well call out a few more boys.

The most beautiful girl in the school took the initiative to ask, and there was no one who would not agree, and the boys expressed that they would definitely go.

Sheng Yu patted his head in frustration: "Look at my memory, I even missed your birthday."

In fact, he didn't know about Chen Meili's birthday at all. He had intentionally inquired about it before, but no one knew about it, so he forgot about it later.

Chen Meili smiled, but didn't answer. She took out her homework book and asked her deskmate, "Have you finished your homework? Yesterday's quiz paper will be covered today."

The curly-haired girl immediately forgot to watch the excitement, and hurriedly opened her schoolbag: "No! Lend me to copy!"

Sheng Yu wisely returned to his seat, thinking about what kind of gift to give tomorrow, so as to overwhelm everyone else and impress Chen Meili deeply on him.

As the people walked away, Chen Meili breathed a sigh of relief. She was really not very good at getting along with boys, especially the ones who could tell at a glance that they were looking for her good looks, which naturally made her feel defensive.

She even suspected that if this continues, she may not be able to find a partner, because there is no way to tell whether a boy likes her because she is beautiful.

She told Chen Yu about her troubles in the letter, and Chen Yu told her that her excellent appearance is her own advantage, and she should try to accept it instead of rejecting it.

But if you really feel distressed because of this, you don't have to force it too much. Nothing can stop love when it really comes.

Chen Meili's mouth was sore when she saw it, hum, it means that she has a partner, the tone of this person who came here really makes people... envious!

Originally, she didn't want to fall in love, but seeing that Chen Yu was living so happily, every time she mentioned Shen Qiao, she always seemed to be very happy. When a person just mentions another person's name, the joy in his eyebrows and eyes cannot be hidden.

Of course, Sheng Yu definitely couldn't do it.

Although he looks good, has good conditions in all aspects, and is gentle to girls, but he is gentle to all girls!

As soon as she saw him having a good time among the girls, Chen Meili thought of the "central air conditioner" that Chen Yu once said, probably like Sheng Yu, who can warm all the girls.

I was thinking about other things, so I was distracted and didn't notice a letter in the book.

Wen Anni, who was at the same table, was picking up the homework on her desk. When she scanned the letter, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed it immediately: "Oh, Chen Yu? This is your good friend, right? The handwriting is pretty good."

"Give it back to me!" Chen Meili was anxious, and quickly reached out to grab it.

I received a letter from Chen Yu yesterday, she read it and put it on the desk, and read it again after finishing her homework. When grandma called her to eat, she put it in the homework book, and then forgot to take it out.

"Don't worry, I'll give it to you." Wen Anni returned the letter to Chen Meili. Although she likes to make noise and make noise, she still has a bottom line. She doesn't know how to peek at other people's letters.

Chen Meili smoothed out the creases that she accidentally pinched, put it in a tutorial book that she won't use today, and carefully put it in her schoolbag.

Wen Anni was speechless: "I like him so much... What does he look like? Is he more handsome than Sheng Yu?"

"Of course." Chen Meili raised her chin proudly: "Chen Yu is one of the most handsome boys I've ever seen...!"

Wen Anni burst out laughing: "One?"

"What do you know." Chen Meili muttered, "there is another... his brother."

Although he doesn't want to admit it, but Shen Qiao is also very handsome, he is a different type of handsome from Chen Yu, they are both very good-looking boys.

"Oh..." Wen Anni dragged out her voice, propped her chin, and looked curious: "I really want to see how pretty she is, who can make us so beautiful that no one wants it."

"Don't talk nonsense, Chen Yu has someone he likes, he and him...he has a very good relationship with him."

"Have a date? Then what are you thinking about?" Wen Anni was surprised.

Chen Meili stared at her angrily: "Oh, what are you talking about, I've told you several times, we are friends, best friends!"

Wen Anni shrugged. She really didn't understand. A boy who is very handsome and a girl who is very beautiful are not related by relatives, but they have a good relationship, and they are not in a romantic relationship.

what is this?Anyway, she didn't understand.

But when Chen Meili said that, she didn't insist that it was impossible. She was even more curious about the boy Chen Meili couldn't forget: "Do you have any photos? Show me."

Chen Meili hesitated for a while, and Wen Anni said pleasantly: "There really are? Show me, it's so beautiful, I'll just take a look and see what the legendary beautiful boy looks like, I'm so curious!"

Chen Meili couldn't help laughing, she decided to write Wen Anni's words into the letter next time, and ask the "beautiful boy" what she thought.

"Well, you go to my house tomorrow, and I'll show you secretly, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What's the matter, tell me." Wen Anni was heartbroken.

"Don't always bring me and Sheng Yu together in the future, I really don't have feelings for him, it's impossible to be with him." Chen Meili whispered.

Anni Wen squinted at her: "You really don't like Sheng Yu? He's very popular, and there were other school girls who came to send love letters to him before, so he's very popular."

Chen Meili nodded firmly: "I really don't like it."

After Wen Anni finished speaking, she didn't like it anymore. She had seen girls send love letters to Sheng Yu more than once.

Every time Sheng Yu accepted the love letter, and then said something very gentle to reject those girls, saying that he was not good, praising the girls for their beauty, cuteness, quietness, good temperament, etc. Every girl who sent him a love letter He can praise others.

Everyone thinks that he has such a good personality, even rejecting people so gently, so more girls like him, and those who have been rejected before are unwilling to give up, and even like him more.

"Okay." Wen Anni sighed regretfully: "I also said that Sheng Yu is the only boy who is worthy of you in school, but you don't like it, what kind do you like?"

Chen Meili shook her head and said confusedly: "I don't know either, maybe I'll know it when I meet it. It's really impossible for Sheng Yu to be like this."

"Sheng Yu is really gentle, how kind he is to girls." Wen Anni said unwillingly.

"Annie, think about it, if you fell in love with Sheng Yu and became his girlfriend, and saw that he was still so gentle to all the other girls, how would you feel?"

Wen Anni froze for a moment, tried to think about it, her scalp exploded, isn't that cheating?

It's not cheating, but it's disgusting enough that it's hard to accept even thinking about it.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not match you up in the future." Wen Anni gave up completely. She felt that Sheng Yu was a good person so she encouraged her tablemate, and she didn't want to push her into the pit of fire.

"I believe you."

"Hey, shouldn't I tell you about your birthday?" Wen Anni regretted what she had done stupidly.

"It's okay, he invited me for his birthday last time, and it just so happens that he invited me back this time."

Her family moved to a new home two months ago. It is a small western-style building. There is enough space in the house to hold a birthday party and invite classmates to come and play.

At that time, her grandparents, father, and nanny will be at home, but they will not come out to disturb them.

"Okay, remember to show me the photo."

"Know it……"

On the weekend of the next day, today is Chen Meili's birthday, and Chen Zehai intends to hold a birthday party for his daughter.

In the morning, the whole family had dinner together. Grandma personally cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for her granddaughter. Chen Meili ate all the noodles to save face, and even drank up the soup.

I made an appointment with my classmates at noon, we had dinner together, and we could play for a while in the afternoon.

In the evening, Chen Zehai booked a banquet hall at the hotel and invited some friends from the shopping mall. There were many outsiders, so Chen Meili just showed up at that time.

Students can go to play together if they want, there is a special entertainment room.

All of this was discussed with Chen Meili in advance. When Chen Meili invited her classmates, she also explained to them that if she wanted to go, she could go, and if she didn't want to go, she could go home in the afternoon.

In the past half a year, the garment factory managed by Chen Zehai has expanded rapidly. From a small factory with fifty sewing machines at the beginning, to over a thousand workers now, it has become one of the leaders in the garment production industry in Mingzhu City.

There are many reasons why it can develop so fast.

Not short of money is the most basic thing. The only thing is that neither of the two shareholders has a character of indulging in pleasure. The profits they earn can be used for investment, and the funds are very abundant.

With the way of Shenqiao, no matter what kind of machine to buy, it is very convenient, and the money is in place, and the machine will be delivered at the fastest speed.

The latest lathe, buy it when you say it.

They also have a mature process for training workers, and will not restrict the development of factories due to the shortage of local labor force.

The male worker Chen Zehai contacted the veterans who were laid off during the mass disarmament, and the female workers recruited directly from the countryside. Some of them were willing to come out to work to support their families in poor and remote places.

There was even a special training class. The first batch of workers had just arrived, and the latter batch of newly recruited workers were immediately sent for training.

Because the advance tolls are deducted from wages in installments, they have signed contracts for more than half a year. If they break the contract, they will lose money, and other factories will not be able to poach people. The cost is too high.

After six months, these mature workers were poached away, but that didn't matter, the training class was still continuously training new workers.

Chen Zehai discussed with Chen Yu whether to hold a special training class, recruit people to train various factory practical skills, and then recommend them to other factories to earn training fees.

Chen Yu: "..." Isn't this a technical school?

Of course, the scale has expanded and the output has also increased. The biggest problem is not being able to sell.

But Chen Zehai was on the right track at the beginning. The employees of the factory's sales department had traveled to countless second- and third-tier cities before. No matter how small the order was, even a few pieces of clothing were sold, so they were familiar with the way.

Whenever you go to a city, you must advertise. Local newspapers, message boards, etc. must leave enough small advertisements.

It was Chen Zehai who proposed to open up the market in second and third tier cities, but the idea of ​​advertising was proposed by Shen Yu, who paid a lot of travel expenses and advertising fees for this.

It turns out that these efforts are worthwhile.

Later, Chen Zehai expanded the factory crazily, because he received too many orders, and the phone in the factory was almost ringing off the hook.

In order to seize the market, small orders are also accepted, and shipping is free for more than ten pieces.

There are even ordinary citizens who saw the advertisement, relatives and friends made an appointment to order ten pieces together, and got one point back. It is trendy and beautiful, and the price is not too expensive.

When other people saw it, they enviously asked where they bought it, and why they couldn’t buy it in this city. They went to department stores and private clothing stores to ask. If they asked too much, these dealers themselves would call and place orders.

In this way, the scale of the factory can not be more reasonable, except that the speed is a little faster.

Chen Zehai also listened to Chen Yu's advice and began to form a designer team. Mermaid is still making ordinary fashion clothes, but one day, what people pursue is not to be similar to the public, but to be different.

Having said that, with the expansion of the factory, Chen Zehai's status in the Mingzhu City business district has also increased.

I didn't think of turning my daughter's birthday into a business party, but everyone did it this way. If he celebrated his daughter's birthday quietly, people would not think that he was trying to be pure, but that he didn't value his daughter.

Someone had introduced him to someone before, implying that at his age, he could have another son. Otherwise, would such a large family fortune be left to a girl who was destined to marry an outsider?That's not making a wedding dress for someone else.

Chen Zehai pissed this person off in his heart, if it wasn't for the sake of his daughter not being angry, he would live whatever life he wanted in the future, why should he work so hard.

It seems that he didn't tear himself apart for the sake of cooperation, but the woman who introduced him refused without hesitation.

But he didn't tell people directly that everything he had would be left to his daughter, mainly because he was afraid that someone with a heart would stare at his daughter and deceive her about her feelings.

At this birthday party, Chen Zehai still had a bit of a headache. His girl is so beautiful and soft-tempered. If she brought it out, those people might think about marriage or something like that.

How could he let his daughter marry off in order to cooperate with others? He met a few of the children of those friends’ families. .

But now it's all right, when the time comes...

"Dad, you smile so strangely." Chen Meili felt strange when she saw her father frowning and smiling.

Chen Zehai coughed lightly, and tidied up his clothes: "Dad, go out, the gift is placed on the table in the study for you, you go and get it yourself."

"Where are you going?" Chen Meili asked curiously, she remembered that her father did not arrange work today.

Chen Zehai smiled mysteriously: "Go pick up a friend."

Chen Meili curled her lips disinterestedly. Her father's friends were all talking about business.

"Be careful, come back early." Chen Meili waved her hand to see her father off.

I cleared the table with the nanny, and the kitchen started to prepare the food for the noon party.

Because students may come early, snacks, fruit, tea and the like must be prepared in advance.

Sure enough, around ten o'clock in the morning, students came over one after another.

They all brought presents to Chen Meili, from trinkets to birthday cards, everything, Chen Meili happily accepted them and thanked her friends.

Among the friends Chen Meili invited, some of them had good family backgrounds and some had average family backgrounds, but the good ones were the ones who were richer than ordinary people by doing some business.

Seeing the beautiful small western-style building of the Chen family, everyone was very envious. Under Chen Meili's introduction, everyone walked around, and found it interesting everywhere in the flower room, entertainment room and tea hall.

In fact, there is Chen Meili's dance studio upstairs, and her father specially installed it for her, but Chen Meili thinks that learning dancing is just a hobby, and no one is ashamed to say so.

"Wow, so many videotapes!" Seeing the full videotapes in the drawer of the TV cabinet, several students who love to watch movies were very moved.

"Then let's watch a movie, what do you want to watch?" Chen Meili asked.

Several people discussed it, and quickly chose what they wanted to see.

The movie started to show, and everyone was quickly attracted by the plot, but Wen Anni was a little absent-minded, lightly poked Chen Meili's waist, and whispered: "Agreed to show me the photos."

Chen Meili was ticklish, so she hid back and pulled her up: "Come with me."

Taking Wen Anni to her room, Chen Meili found out the photo with Chen Yu and Shen Qiao.

She took the photo with Shen Yu before she left, originally wanted to take a photo with Chen Yu alone, but that cheapskate Shen Qiao didn't want to, so the three of them took the photo together.

"Here, this is Chen Yu, handsome."

Wen Anni stared at the photo with bright eyes: "You are more handsome than a movie star!"

She stared stupidly for a while, making Chen Meili worried that she might drip her saliva on it.

Wen Anni suddenly raised her head and stared at Chen Meili: "The one next to you is Brother Chen Yu, right?"

"Yes."

"Chen Yu has a date, so what about his brother? Does his brother have a date?" Wen Anni clearly wrote on her face, "I've fallen in love with this man, if you don't have a date, please introduce him to me."

Chen Meili: "...Yes, I have, and the relationship is very good."

Wen Anni: "..."

She clutched her chest and collapsed on the chair in an instant: "My heart hurts so much. Why do good-looking men have their own boss? What kind of girl is so lucky!"

Chen Meili looked left and right but didn't look at her. How should I put it, the two of them clearly digested it internally.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the auntie yelled outside the door: "It's beautiful, there are other students here."

"Come on!" Chen Meili raised her voice.

"Maybe Sheng Yu and the others are here, let's go down."

Wen Anni glanced at the photos with reluctance, and sighed, "I know why you don't like Sheng Yu anymore."

Chen Meili said angrily, "I told you it's not because of your looks."

"It's all the same, there's no difference, anyway, Sheng Yu has nothing to do."

After putting away the photos, the two went downstairs, and sure enough, boys Sheng Yu and Jiang Peng came over together.

Wen Anni glanced at it, then turned her head bored, such a comparison was boring.
