The Three Spirit Stones
Chapter 6: Working hard to earn money
After finishing the third year of junior high school, Ah Cai was admitted to the provincial key high school in S City with excellent grades.
Being able to get into a key high school from a township junior high school is already very impressive!
Cheng Yu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling every day. He felt that in his era, this should be considered a scholar!
You know, it is very impressive to pass the examination and become a scholar.
After a happy summer vacation, he quit his job at the cemetery, packed his bags and took Ah Cai to school.
He planned to find a new job in S City. Although she could only go home on Saturdays and Sundays, living nearby would make it convenient to take care of her.
After sending Acai to school and paying several thousand yuan for tuition, accommodation and food expenses, Cheng Yu's family only had seven or eight thousand yuan left, and he also had to rent a house nearby.
You won’t know until you look for it. Once you look for it, you’ll be shocked.
Houses in S City are too expensive, the worst ones cost one or two thousand yuan, and the prices here are also very high, and there are also water, electricity, gas, and other miscellaneous expenses. Looking at the money in my pocket, it is barely enough to cover two months of expenses.
For the first time, he frowned over money.
In fact, with his current ability, it would be easy for him to make money, but that is an improper channel. After living a new life and having A Cai as a relative again, he hopes to live like a normal person.
After paying the rent and packing up, I had to go out and look for a job.
But finding a job also made him feel frustrated. The better jobs required a high level of education, while those who didn't were only offered low-paying hard labor jobs such as moving and cleaning.
At this moment, he deeply realized that everything is inferior, only reading is superior!
Fortunately, my Ah Cai is good at studying.
When he thought of this, a sense of pride immediately surged in his heart!
After searching for two days, I found a job moving goods at night in a wholesale market, and also found another job as a porter in a supermarket. The total amount was barely enough to cover my expenses.
Cheng Yu was very emotional!
Although it is a rare prosperous era now, it is not easy for ordinary people to survive.
There is a saying that goes, in troubled times, we are cannon fodder, in prosperous times, we are cattle and horses!
But he really enjoyed his life as a cow and horse.
He is very strong, so carrying things is child's play for him. He can do the work of three people. He has a good temper and is handsome. He soon became the favorite of his aunt colleagues. He is also very satisfied with this workplace atmosphere.
If something unpleasant had not happened, he thought he would have continued doing it.
That night, the supermarket was about to close, and five men walked in. The manager was about to tell them that it was time to go off work, when suddenly, one of them turned around and pulled down the gate, and the other four pulled out several fruit knives and shouted fiercely at the clerks,
"Robbery~,"
This sudden scene scared everyone and they screamed. The shop assistants were forced into a corner by three gangsters with knives, while the other two went to the counter to get money.
As soon as Cheng Yu came out, he heard a noise outside. One of them saw him, pointed a knife at him and ordered, "If you don't want to die, come here and squat down."
He stood there with a frown on his face, wondering whether to beat them now or wait until later, when the gangster shouted again,
"Get down, or I'll stab you to death,"
His colleagues were afraid that he would suffer a loss and called him immediately.
"Ayu, squat down quickly.
"Ayu, come here quickly and don't make him angry,"
"You are the only one who talks too much,"
The criminal became impatient and kicked the female colleague who was talking.
All I heard was a "boom".
Before the criminal kicked out, he was kicked out like a ball and knocked down a row of shelves.
The goods on top were knocked down with a loud crash, and finally he collapsed to the ground and lay motionless.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Cheng Yu beat the other four people to the ground in just a few moves.
Seeing the tragic scenes of these criminals with blood all over their faces, the colleagues could not close their mouths!
They couldn't imagine that this boy, who would blush when hearing dirty jokes, was actually so good at fighting!
……
Having a skill is popular!
A few days later, Cheng Yu received a notice to meet with the general manager.
What he could not imagine was that the general manager was actually a young woman.
Facing this beautiful general manager with outstanding temperament and fashionable clothes, he seemed a little uneasy.
The general manager is Ou Yawen, and her father is the founder of this supermarket chain.
Although Miss Ou was born into a noble family, she was very approachable. She chatted with Cheng Yu for a while and told him that because she often had to socialize and sometimes got home very late, and all her secretaries were girls, she needed a bodyguard and driver. She offered a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan and asked Cheng Yu if he was willing to do this job.
20,000 per month? ! !
Cheng Yu's eyes widened. He needed money right now. Ah Cai needed to buy tutoring books again, which would cost nearly a thousand yuan.
He swallowed and agreed immediately.
I have to say, money is a really good thing!
Twenty thousand is not much for rich people, but it is a good income for Cheng Yu.
After receiving his first month's salary, he moved into a bigger house because Acai disliked the previous one, saying it was small, narrow and old, even worse than one in the countryside.
After deducting the monthly fixed expenses, the remaining money was almost all spent on Ah Cai.
Because he saw on the Internet that girls must be raised in wealth and have high standards so that they will not be easily abducted by men.
He felt that this sentence made a lot of sense!
So whenever she had a day off, he would take her to various high-end restaurants to taste delicious food, to various high-end shopping malls to go shopping, and he would try to buy the best daily necessities for her.
However, in S City, a city with high consumption, he couldn't buy many high-end goods with his little money.
He was very impressed by this!
No wonder so many people take risks for money, it feels so good to be rich.
Although Ah Cai is young, she is very practical.
She doesn't care much about brand-name clothes or brand-name bags. What she likes most is gold. She likes to collect gold beans the most. Every time she goes shopping, she buys a few gold beans. When she is free, she pours out the gold beans and counts them one by one for fun.
If I want my baby daughter to have a better life, I need more money. To earn more money, I need to work harder.
His job now is not only a driver and bodyguard, he also has to accompany Miss Ou to social events, and his role is to drink for the boss.
Alcohol plays a huge role in business.
Employees who can drink well can often attract more business. This job is not too suitable for him. He can drink all kinds of wine, including Maotai and XO.
The bosses saw this shy man and wanted to bully him, so they kept forcing him to drink with various reasons, but often in the end, when everyone at the table was drunk, he remained calm and collected.
Miss Ou soon discovered that A Yu was not a simple-minded person. Apart from his lack of academic qualifications, he had outstanding abilities in other aspects. Although he looked young, he was actually very skillful, calm and careful in dealing with things, and was very considerate in all aspects when dealing with people.
For example, once, he brought a few cans of milk powder to Miss Ou, saying that there was something wrong with the milk powder and asked her to ask a background check company to investigate.
Miss Ou saw that it was a domestic milk powder that sold well, and there was no problem with the qualification certificate, so she asked him the reason.
He said his daughter grew up eating formula milk, and the first stage of feeding a baby is the most complicated and the price is definitely the most expensive.
But this year, the price of the first stage of this milk powder is only slightly higher than that of the second stage. The reason given by the manufacturer is that the production is too large and the price is reduced for promotion.
It is possible to lower the price, but it is impossible not to adjust it back to normal price for a whole year. Don’t manufacturers want profits?
Miss Ou also felt that it was unreasonable, so she hired a background check company.
The feedback was that this first-stage milk powder was more expensive than other brands before, so it didn't sell well.
Because the single food testing requirements gave them an opportunity, manufacturers added some illegal additives to reduce costs, and then lowered prices to grab market share.
Ms. Ou immediately removed the product from the shelves and asked someone to report the manufacturer.
The higher-ups ordered a thorough investigation and discovered that many infants who consumed this milk powder had developed side effects. This incident later caused quite a stir, and the company was rewarded by the government for its meritorious reporting.
After one year of employment, Cheng Yu was promoted and given a raise due to his outstanding abilities. He is now Miss Ou's right-hand man.
He bought a car and took Ah Cai on trips whenever he had the chance, to taste local delicacies, and would try his best to buy her anything she wanted.
He hopes to give his daughter the best of everything in her short life of several decades.
Perhaps, in the distant future, we will have no regrets when we recall the happy times today!
