Chapter 166: Richmond Company Opens
Time flies, like a fleeting moment, and a month has passed quietly in the blink of an eye.
Chen Xi stood in front of a two-story building holding the opening ceremony. Under repeated urging from Ho and Tran, he had no choice but to open a company in Richmond in advance.
Since the cleaning business in Sihai was going well, the two of them were very jealous after going to Sihai to observe, and they also wanted to help the Vietnamese fellow countrymen solve their employment problems.
Today Gouzi is well-dressed. As the manager of the Richmond area, he knows that he has a heavy responsibility. Knowing that Chen Xi's trust in him is priceless, he will never live up to this expectation.
Gouzi is carefully examining the group of new employees in front of him. Most of them are Vietnamese and were selected by Tran after strict screening.
Chen Xi’s requirements for recruitment are very clear: clean hands and feet, hardworking and uncomplaining, and possessing certain skills. Tran strictly followed these requirements to ensure that all new employees recruited met the standards.
In addition to Vietnamese, a small number of new employees are Chinese living in Richmond.
Since the last incident, Tran has temporarily reached a reconciliation with Brother Feng.
The dispute between them is mainly about money. As long as the money problem is solved, the conflict between the two parties will naturally be resolved.
Gouzi carefully evaluates and communicates with new employees to ensure that they understand the company's rules, regulations and work requirements. They are also encouraged to ask questions and suggestions to better integrate into the team and adapt to the new work environment.
Chen Xi stared at the group of Vietnamese employees in front of him. They had dark skin and their work clothes were a little uneven, giving people a weird feeling, like monkeys wearing vests.
He couldn't help but wonder whether these people were qualified for the job. However, these employees were hired by Tran and Ho. If there are any problems, they will definitely be responsible for managing and solving them.
This small building was bought by Chen Xi, and the money was naturally obtained from a loan. Smith from ANZ handles things very quickly, probably because he wants to get promoted. Chen Xi now has a regular turnover and an Internet cafe. With businesses such as Sihai, it is very convenient to apply for a loan.
Buy this building. After Richmond is renovated into a wealthy area, the value of the house will definitely increase, and you can make a lot of money by selling it by then.
"It's the same two sisters as last time tonight?" Ho walked up to Chen Xi and patted his shoulder gently, with a teasing expression on his face, and the thoughts in his heart were self-evident.
“What two sisters?” Dongdong and Xiao Ming looked at Chen Xi suspiciously.
"Ahem, it's nothing..." Chen Xi coughed lightly to resolve the embarrassment.
“You think I’m stupid!” Dongdong sneered.
"Come on, we had some conflicts last time. I heard that you like boxing, and I also like it. I will be the host tonight and arrange two girls for you." Tran hooked Dongdong's neck enthusiastically , as if it was too late to meet him.
Originally, Dongdong had no intention of reconciling with Tran, but as soon as he heard that a girl was accompanying him, he immediately changed his attitude and became brothers with Tran.
The tension between the two people dissipated instantly, replaced by laughter and mutual teasing.
"By the way, how did you solve the problem at the fruit shop last time?" Chen Xi and Brother Feng were not familiar with each other, but he couldn't ignore the other person when he came here to support him. He took advantage of the situation and found a topic to chat with him. .
"Changed to sell flowers." Brother Feng said awkwardly. As the person whom the Chinese people in Richmond relied on, he felt a little embarrassed that he failed to protect the interests of his compatriots.
"It's good. They are all plants. It's better to live in harmony." Chen Xi chuckled. The second half of the sentence was meant for Brother Feng. He hoped that there would be no conflicts between the two parties.
The conversation between the two gradually deepened, and they shared some of their experiences and insights.
Brother Feng also gradually let go of his knot and began to talk freely with Chen Xi.
The atmosphere gradually became harmonious, as if we were already old friends.
"Brother Gou, Brother Gou, we are going to be prosperous this time." Ergou and Sangou looked at the employees with red faces, as excited as if they were the bosses.
"Work hard, we have already boarded the aircraft carrier and are about to take off." Gouzi encouraged the two younger brothers. Now he is full of leadership.
Recalling that a few months ago, he was still engaged in the heavy and dirty moving work. He was soaked in stinky sweat every day, and the smell on his body was unbearable.
Now, his identity has undergone earth-shaking changes and he has become the leader of a regional company. This speed made him feel like he was in a dream.
Gouzi is actually a very ambitious person, and his ability to achieve such a big career in his previous life proves this.
Before, he had always dreamed of starting his own business and becoming his own boss, hoping to be able to independently control his own destiny.
Now he is beginning to re-examine his thoughts and thinks that serving as deputy next to Chen Xi is also a pretty good choice.
"Brother Gou, aircraft carriers can't fly. I've packed my luggage and have been living and dining in the company recently." Ergou reported.
“I told you, don’t call me that in front of outsiders. Call me by my English name. Some Vietnamese people here can understand it. Do you think they will call me Dog every day in the future?”
< br>Gouzi pulled Ergou aside and whispered.
"Boss, your English name is the same as that of an NBA player. I want to scold that person every time I watch the game. I can't call you James B." Ergou said aggrievedly. He is used to it now. As for the mantra, Ergou really can’t change his name.
Late at night, in the booth of RICHMOND nightclub.
Chen Xi and others sat together, holding wine glasses in their hands, talking about each other's lives and future plans.
Beside them, there were several good-looking, sexy and charming Vietnamese women who poured wine and lit cigarettes for them from time to time. The atmosphere seemed relaxed and happy.
Xiao Ming and Dongdong seemed a little uncomfortable. Although they had been to nightclubs before, they felt a little embarrassed when facing these two such sexy women.
They didn't dare to look directly into each other's eyes, they just lowered their heads to drink, occasionally looking up at the lively scene in the middle of the dance floor.
The music in the center of the dance floor was deafening, and a group of young people were dancing crazily. Their bodies squirmed to the rhythm, their faces filled with expressions of joy and excitement.
The colorful lights cast mottled shadows on them, like a group of happy elves flying in the night sky.
Dongdong and Xiao Ming look out of place here, like strange beings from another world.
When they saw Chen Xi and others drinking with their arms around the woman beside them, they felt an inexplicable anxiety in their hearts.
The two looked at each other, gathered up their courage, and gently stretched out their hands to the woman beside them.
The two women, who originally felt depressed because of being left out, immediately changed their attitudes when they felt two hesitant hands touching them.
They narrowed their eyes and raised a naughty smile at the corners of their mouths, as if to say: "You two little guys finally dare to do something."
These two junior brothers In front of experienced women like them, they are like immature little white rabbits, making people want to play tricks on them.
Soon, with the blessing of alcohol and the guidance of two women, Dongdong and Xiao Ming became proficient in their business.
“I wish our business will grow bigger and bigger!” Ho and Tran took the lead in raising their glasses. Everyone touched one to each other and drank.
Gouzi has dark skin and looks like someone from the south near the Yue Kingdom, but in fact, he is an authentic northern man.
Gouzi and Ho chatted happily, perhaps because of Gouzi's appearance, which made them feel a little familiar.
A few people chatted happily over wine, talking about taking care of each other.
Tian Gou is in a very happy mood at the moment. His hard work at work has finally paid off recently. His boss's appreciation of him has given him a lot of money.
In order to repay the customer's trust, he even wiped the customer's toilet until it was almost smoking. This meticulous service spirit is awe-inspiring.
Today, he happily went to the city center with his long-saved salary and bought a bag.
Although the price of this bag is not expensive, it is of great significance to Tian Gou. This is more than a month's salary for him.
The moment he got the bag, his heart beat faster, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
He imagined the scene of confessing his love to Li Yuqing, and his heart was full of expectation and excitement.
On a winter night in Burwood, the wind was biting, but Tian Gou was hiding in a corner downstairs of Li Yuqing's apartment, persistently dialing the other party's phone number.
He did not choose to enter the warm hall to escape the cold, because he wanted to give Li Yuqing a special surprise.
However, there was no answer from the other end of the phone, which made Tian Gou feel gradually heavier, filled with loss and anxiety.
He kept rubbing his hands, trying to get rid of the chill on his body, and at the same time hoping that the call would be answered soon.
However, time passed by and there was still no movement on the phone, and Tian Gou's heart gradually cooled down.
Just when Tian Gou was about to lose confidence and prepare to leave sadly, a black car slowly parked on the roadside of the apartment.
"Thank you for sending me back, Eric." Li Yuqing smiled sweetly at the man in the driver's seat.
"Yuqing, please be my girlfriend." Eric suddenly took action and grabbed Li Yuqing's little hand tightly. His body was so close to her that he could even feel her body temperature.
Eric's mouth was slightly pursed, as if he was waiting for her response. This intimate move caught Li Yuqing off guard.
"Let me think about it again, I'm going back first." Li Yuqing tried her best to break free from Eric's hand and skillfully avoided his further attacks.
She heard the car door slam open and she quickly jumped out of the car.
She wiped her hands vigorously on her body, as if trying to wipe away some disgusting touch.
She held several luxury bags tightly in her hands, which were gifts from Eric today.
However, Li Yuqing had planned to sell them in a few days to repay Tian Gou's debt.
After all, she really didn’t want Tian Gou to stick to her like a dog-skin plaster.
“You bitch, why are you pretending to be innocent? You’ve probably been beaten to death by others.” Eric angrily punched the car and hit the steering wheel hard.
He stared at Li Yuqing's retreating figure with wide eyes, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car made a deafening roar and quickly disappeared into the night.
The roar of the car seemed to vent his inner dissatisfaction, filling the air with a depressing atmosphere.
Tian Gou was extremely excited at the moment. He could only see the figure of the goddess walking towards the apartment door, completely ignoring the car she was riding in before.
He couldn't wait to rush out from the corner of the apartment, hoping to surprise Li Yuqing.
However, his sudden appearance startled Li Yuqing, and the luxury bags in his hands fell to the ground.
Looking at Tian Gou in front of her, Li Yuqing had a complicated expression on her face, including fear of being frightened, disgust at Tian Gou's persistence, and a hint of deep loss.
Such complex emotions were intertwined on her face, making it difficult to decipher.
