The sound of firecrackers is coming from far away, and the air is also filled with the smell of nitrate and sulfide. It is not too exciting, and it seems to be celebrating the passing of the old year.
New Year's Eve in the village is very simple. I have breakfast, put up Spring Festival couplets, and go out for a walk to visit other places. However, the small fisherman's house is now extremely lively.
"What a talent. Xiaoyu is a girl who has been sensible since she was a child. I would say that she will be blessed when she grows up. It seems that she is marrying into a good family." A middle-aged aunt with a somewhat bloated figure said.
"It's not just about being lucky, it's about virtue accumulated by our ancestors. Just now my daughter told me that he runs a big company and is a billionaire."
"Billionaires? They have already met with the country's leaders. Can billionaires meet with the country's leaders?"
…
Several women sat together, looking directly at Chen Mo, and kept talking. It would be a lie to say that I am not envious, I wish that Chen Mo was their son and son-in-law.
Chen Mo, who was sitting in his seat, looked helpless.
Now I feel like a baby panda in a zoo, surrounded by a crowd of people. I have experienced a lot and am used to all kinds of strange looks, so I don't have much psychological fluctuations, just helpless.
"Hello, are you Chen Mo? Can I take a photo with you?" A girl came over with a mobile phone and looked directly at Chen Mo, with excitement and admiration in her eyes.
Chen Mo is the idol of the new generation of young people. After the exposure, all kinds of news were overwhelming. Anyone who pays a little attention to mobile phone news can recognize Chen Mo. She just didn't expect that such a super influential figure was right in front of her.
This is the daughter of a cousin of Xiaoyu. Chen Mo remembered it when she was introduced just now.
"Okay." Chen Mo nodded and agreed.
After taking the photo, the girl left, and then two more girls ran over with excited faces, and several men also walked over excitedly.
After taking a photo, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Today is New Year's Eve. In the evening, Chen Mo will take Xiaoyu away and go home to celebrate the New Year. Knowing that Xiao Yu has a very outstanding and very rich boyfriend, many neighbors, relatives and friends came to visit Xiao Yu's house and wanted to meet the son-in-law of the old He family, which led to the current situation.
Chen Mo was sure that all three aunts and uncles were here. Fortunately, the yard is big enough to accommodate many people. But Chen Mo felt like an animal being visited.
It's not polite to hide in the room, so I can only sit here and play games with the ignorant neighbor's children next to me.
"Xiaoyu, your boyfriend is the boss of the Army Ant Company, right?"
In the hall, a middle-aged woman spoke with a smile. She was dressed a bit gorgeously, with permed and dyed curly hair. She was jeweled and looked more like a noble lady. The LV bag is placed in the most conspicuous position, for fear that others will not see it.
"Can you ask him to arrange a position as department manager or vice president of the company for your brother?"
"You really dare to say, then I can be the president?" Xiaoman, who was peeling an apple next to him, muttered, his voice could only be heard by the people next to him.
Xiaoyu next to him didn't know what to say.
The woman in front of me is my father's cousin. This was the first time Xiaoyu saw this cousin, and he didn't even know her name.
She had never seen this situation before. I didn't expect that when I brought Chen Mo back, I would attract such a person.
"Auntie, the company has a personnel system and requires interviews. We can't arrange them casually." Xiaoyu said.
The middle-aged lady looked condescending: "Your boyfriend is the boss of the company, and you are the assistant to the president. Can't you just arrange a job for him?"
"As the assistant to the president, I don't have this right. Employment matters are decided by the personnel department and the president. I can't interfere in these matters, and Chen Mo doesn't care about these matters."
Xiaoyu tried her best to refuse with tactful words. She knew Sister Zhao's temper. No matter who it was, it was impossible for her to use the back door, and she would not do so. The company belonged to Chen Mo, and she could not embarrass Chen Mo.
"It's just a matter of one sentence? Is it that difficult?" The middle-aged lady said with an impatient tone.
He Zhenghua looked very unhappy. Because his cousin was married to a rich man, he rarely interacted with ordinary relatives like them. He had the face of a nouveau riche and would not even look at poor relatives like them.
Since she got married, the two parties have had no contact at all, and there is no relationship.
If he hadn't come here this time, he wouldn't have thought of this cousin. It would be troublesome if he went out to call Chen Mo now and delayed his daughter.
"We can't help with this." He Zhenghua said: "Don't your family run a company? Can't you just ask your nephew to help in the company?"
"We are all relatives, why don't you want to help with such a small favor?"
The middle-aged lady's voice was a bit loud, so that people sitting in the courtyard could hear her. Everyone immediately looked at the window curiously, but since Chen Mo was present, they couldn't be too obvious.
Chen Mo naturally heard the sounds inside, said hello to the neighbors in the yard, and walked in.
The argument in the room stopped and Chen Mo came in. He Zhenghua and Wang Lan had worried eyes, but the middle-aged lady looked happy.
"Hello, Mr. Chen." The middle-aged lady stood up and said hello to Chen Mo. Her impatience disappeared and she had a smile on her face.
"Hello."
Chen Mo smiled slightly and sat down next to Xiaoyu.
"Chen Mo..." Xiaoyu gave Chen Mo a look.
"It's okay." Chen Mo patted the back of Xiaoyu's hand and gave her a reassuring smile.
He Zhenghua and Wang Lan left their seats and walked out. At this time, Chen Mo wouldn't be too embarrassed if they weren't there, and there were other neighbors and relatives outside to greet.
"Mr. Chen, you are really a talented person. Are you interested in coming to my house? My daughter has always wanted to see you." The middle-aged lady looked at Chen Mo.
"Thank you for your kindness. I have to go back today and don't have time." Chen Mo shook his head and said.
"Then next time."
The middle-aged lady was not impatient, but instead had a flattering smile.
"Xiaoyu has an older brother who wants to change his working environment. See if you can let him join your company as a supervisor or something. After all, relatives can be trusted more and feel more at ease."
"Our company has no precedent of opening a back door, but it's not impossible for you to come and ask me for help." Chen Mo comforted the anxious Xiao Yu next to him.
These words made the lady's face light up: "Mr. Chen, I know you are a very kind person."
"Does your son have management experience? Our company is preparing to open up the market in Africa, and there is a shortage of manpower there. I value the market there very much, and I send ordinary people there. I don't trust it very much. I can just let him go, and I can do it myself. rest assured."
These words made the lady's smile freeze.
Africa
so far away
It is impossible for a son who has been pampered since childhood to be able to withstand that kind of environment. Moreover, she heard that Africa was a mess and there was nothing she could do about anything that happened there.
"What's wrong?" Chen Mo asked.
"My son is not good at foreign languages, so why can't he stay in China?" the lady asked in embarrassment.
"You can learn foreign languages over there. No one is born with it, and there are also translators. It's good to learn a foreign language, but you really have to learn it hard." Chen Mo nodded matter-of-factly.
Xiaoman next to him was holding back his laughter and almost spit out the apple in his mouth. Xiaoyu also wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare.
"You call him and ask him to come here now. I will arrange for him to join the African branch. He can join the company after the year." Chen Mo picked up the phone.
"No need for now." The lady hurriedly stopped Chen Mo: "I'll go back and ask for his opinion before I get back to you. Can you give me your phone number?"
"Can."
The lady left happily after getting Chen Mo's phone number.
"Brother-in-law, do you want to learn a foreign language?" Xiaoman next to him finally couldn't help laughing.
"I don't want to." Chen Mo glanced at Xiaoyu and immediately shook his head.
He Zhenghua and Wang Lan also walked in after the middle-aged lady left: "Xiao Mo, please go home now."
"Dad, what's wrong?" His father's tone seemed to be driving people away, and Xiaoyu asked with some worry.
"I'm afraid that other people from their family will come over again. I know who your two cousins are, otherwise I'll make things difficult for Xiao Mo again. Xiao Mo, you take Xiao Yu back to celebrate the New Year. I agree to your affairs. Well, take good care of Xiaoyu from now on." He Zhenghua said to Chen Mo.
Who doesn’t have a few weird relatives
Everyone knows the neighbors and villagers, and the people in the village are also simple and honest. They just envy and envy them. They discuss before tea and after meals, and occasionally compare their children's work and achievements with each other, but they will not make any excessive demands.
Like just now, he was already good at not losing his temper and dared to ask for anything. Sure enough, a person who is shameless is invincible in the world.
As a result, Chen Mo and Xiaoyu were almost kicked out of the house by their parents. Sitting in the car, Chen Mo and Xiaoyu were still speechless.
