Chapter 1052: Resigning on the First Day of Work, Brother K Attacks
Zhou Chen didn't care what his colleagues thought. After entering his office, he directly lowered the blinds to block the gaze of others.
Turn on the computer, go to the website about antiques, and browse the information about antiques.
The Yuan blue and white plum vase in his hand has not yet been restored, but it does not delay him from starting to understand the antique industry.
Because he is a big collector himself, he can easily tell whether the information on the Internet is true or false.
After reading a few antique bloggers, I can tell you that they are basically novices with relatively low levels of skills. Most of the photos they post are of ordinary objects, and many of them are even stolen pictures.
After searching online for a long time, Zhou Chen closed the website. It seemed that he still wanted to go shopping in several major antique markets in the Magic City, but the Internet was still unreliable.
He was not planning to take the item for appraisal, and the appraisal certificate was just to bluff laymen. He was planning to sell it to someone who knew the goods, and it was a private transaction, so there was no need for the appraisal certificate.
"Dong dong, dong dong!"
"Come in."
The person who walked in was a middle-aged beautiful woman. Although she was older, she still looked charming. Like Zhou Chen, she was the manager of the sales department. She was second only to the director in the sales department, and compared to Zhou Chen. A deputy manager without real power is much better.
Xingchuan Group is a foreign trade company, and the sales department is one of the core departments of the group. Therefore, the sales department not only has great power, but is also one of the most profitable departments of the group.
"Sister Gu."
"Manager He."
Gu Xueying walked to sit opposite Zhou Chen with a smile: "Manager He and Mr. Li are back from their honeymoon, have fun."
"Not bad, I'm quite happy." Zhou Chen answered officially.
Gu Xueying's eyes flickered and she felt suspicious.
Regarding Zhou Chen and Li Muzi, there are a lot of rumors circulating in the group, and the company has no secrets. He Fei has been in the company for more than half a year, and his origins have long been dug out, and everyone knows what kind of person he is. .
There was news before that He Fei lost a large amount of money on Ao Island and fell out with Li Muzi, but then it was said that the two went on vacation abroad together and did not come back until a month later, so many people were curious. .
Gu Xueying was also curious, but since the male protagonist came to work again, it meant that the relationship between the couple was not broken as rumored.
"Manager He and Mr. Li have a deep relationship as a couple, which is really enviable."
Zhou Chen ignored her compliment and asked in a stiff tone: "Sister Gu, if you have anything to say, you can speak directly."
Gu Xueying smiled awkwardly. If the man in front of her was not the husband of the group boss, she would not take him seriously at all.
But there is no way, who would let her identity be put there? She said it sounds nice, she is the middle level of the company, but in fact, it is not indispensable.
So even though she knew that the man in front of her was a skinny, incompetent person, she could only smile and talk nicely.
"Manager He is so quick to talk to people, so refreshing."
Seeing that Zhou Chen was unmoved, her eyes flashed. For some reason, she felt that He Fei today was different from the past.
"Have you heard, Manager He? Director Ma of our sales department is going to be promoted to vice president."
"Is Lao Ma going to mention the vice president?"
Director Ma of the sales department still has the impression of Zhou Chen. He is a company executive with outstanding abilities and a veteran figure. It is not surprising that he is promoted to vice president.
"Sister Gu has your eye on Director Ma's position?"
Gu Xueying smiled: "Manager He, I won't play tricks on you. I do have ideas, but this position is not so easy to get. I don't know how many people in the company are watching. I am single and weak, so I Let’s ask Manager He for help.”
Zhou Chen shook his head and shied away: "Sister Gu is joking, you are not alone and weak, I am the one who is weak. I understand what Sister Gu means to come to me; but I can only say that Sister Gu You have found the wrong person, I am a marginalized person, even if I am Muzi's husband, we never talk about work when we are at home, this is the bottom line, so I really can't help Sister Gu, I'm sorry."
Of course Gu Xueying would not take it seriously. Li Muzi is the company's largest shareholder and has veto power. Although she does not directly manage the company, her words are definitely useful. As Li Muzi's husband, Zhou Chen, if Zhou Chen helps her say a few good words, the effect will definitely be Very big.
She felt that Zhou Chen was pushing back, just because he didn't want to.
"Manager He, if you help me this time, I will definitely not treat you badly. I have a lot of resources at hand. When the time comes, I will introduce a few big customers to you. The commission will definitely be indispensable."
Zhou Chen sneered in his heart. It seemed that his original reputation was really not good. People bribed him in front of him without hesitation.
"Sister Gu, that's not necessary. To be honest with you, I'm afraid I won't come back to work again."
Gu Xueying was immediately confused: "Ah? You quit? Why?"
Zhou Chen replied: "Because I figured it out, my wife is the boss of the company, why should I come to work hard every day? Anyway, I just come here every day to hang out and sit around. Wouldn't it be better to enjoy life at home?"
"Well."
Gu Xueying was speechless. Can the class you attend be considered hard?
"Manager He, it's okay if you want to enjoy life, but is it really okay for a man to not have his own career?"
All he had to do was point at Zhou Chen's nose and say that he was eating soft food and was a pretty boy.
"hehe."
Zhou Chen smiled sarcastically: "Sister Gu, men can not only conquer women by conquering the world, but they can also conquer the world by conquering women. Do you think what I say makes sense?"
Gu Xueying: ...that makes so much sense...
"Are you really not ready to continue?"
"Yes, I chose to lie down."
Gu Xueying left with a complicated expression. She originally wanted to find foreign aid, but she couldn't find any foreign aid and was about to lose a 'general'. She felt extremely complicated.
Gu Xueying's purpose made Zhou Chen more sure that he had made the right choice. If he continued to do this in the future, things like this would inevitably happen, so leaving as soon as possible was the best option.
He typed a resignation letter and sent it directly to the human resources department. Then he just picked up the photo with Muzi Li on the table and left the office.
No one in the sales department found it strange to see Zhou Chen leaving like this during work. This was a routine operation, and even the boss of the sales department wouldn't ask.
But after a while, they learned that Zhou Chen had resigned. There were no cheers or warm farewells, and most of them felt melancholy.
Look at the people in this class, they can come and go when they want. More importantly, even if they quit, they can still hug their wives when they go home, while they can only touch their mouths in pain. Pi continued working.
When Zhou Chen returned home, he saw Li Muzi visiting the things he brought back from Balandia, carefully wiping them and placing them.
"Honey, you're back. I just received a call from Mr. Lu, saying that you submitted your resignation letter. Are you really not going to continue working?"
Li Muzi put down the rag in his hand and asked in surprise.
Although Zhou Chen had told her before in Balandia, she didn't expect that Zhou Chen would move so quickly. He resigned directly after just two days after returning.
Zhou Chen walked over, took out a piece of wet tissue, and gently wiped Li Muzi's hands.
"Yes, didn't I say that instead of going to the company and sitting around, I might as well leave this time to you. I will also learn to draw from you. When you get pregnant and have difficulty moving, I will still be responsible. Taking care of you."
Li Muzi was very moved after hearing this: "Husband, you are so kind. I was afraid that you would be boring if you stayed with me every day."
"How can you be bored when you are with the one you love?"
For Zhou Chen, going to work at Xingchuan Group is the real boring thing. Drawing and reading with Muzi Li every day is very comfortable and comfortable, and it is not boring at all.
Besides, just because he doesn't go to work doesn't mean he doesn't do other things.
"Okay, if you can't tell me, then just do it."
Li Muzi actually didn't care much about whether Zhou Chen went to work at Xingchuan Group. He asked him to go before, just to take care of him from a different perspective. Now that Zhou Chen doesn't want to go, then he won't go.
After lunch, Zhou Chen took Li Muzi for a walk on the lawn outside the villa.
"Honey, I'm going to visit the antique market in the HP area in the afternoon. Do you want to go and have a look with me?"
"Are you going to sell that Yuanqing flower plum vase?"
"No, I haven't finished the bottle yet, and it's not easy to sell such a good thing. I'm going to visit the market first and learn more about it."
"Oh, I won't go then. I want to rest at home."
Li Muzi refused to go together and stayed in Balandia for nearly a month. She was now two months pregnant and started to have reactions, so she didn't want to go far.
Zhou Chen asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No, I'm just a little tired. Maybe I haven't fully recovered from traveling for so many days. Don't worry about me."
"Then you have a good rest. When I come back, I will buy you some supplements that pregnant women can use. Although you can't take a lot of supplements in the early stages of pregnancy, you can't skip them."
Li Muzi tilted his head and looked at Zhou Chen curiously: "Husband, why do I think you know more than me?"
"Of course. I've been reading a lot about the precautions and knowledge points during pregnancy these days. When I say I'll take care of you, I have to keep my word."
Li Muzi was moved and hugged Zhou Chen's arm tightly, leaning against Zhou Chen with a happy face, enjoying the noon sunshine.
When he went to work in the afternoon, a message arrived. Although he only worked a few days this month, the finance department still paid him a full salary.
Of course Zhou Chen won't pretend to be polite. Do you understand the paid leave?
After Li Muzi went to bed to rest, Zhou Chen drove alone to the Chenghuang Temple antique market in HP area. First, he went to the basement antique market of Huabao Building.
As one of the largest first-tier cities in China, Magic City also has a large number of antique markets. After years of development, it has become increasingly formalized.
Entering the antique market, Zhou Chen felt like a fish in water, scanning with sharp eyes.
Although he had a huge sum of "tens of thousands" in the card, he did not buy it casually. As a senior collector, ordinary things could not catch his eye.
After shopping all afternoon, Zhou Chen didn't buy anything. It wasn't because he didn't have real things, it was mainly because he didn't like them. He came here with the idea of picking up the missing items.
After shopping around for so long, he also chatted a lot with many people in the market. He knew that the antique market nearby was the busiest on Saturdays and Sundays. There were quite a few people bringing old things to set up stalls these two days.
It was almost time for dinner, and Zhou Chen received a call from Li Muzi, so he drove back directly without going around any more.
In the evening, Zhou Chen hugged Li Muzi, leaned against the bed, and started class.
Serious painting course.
In order to teach Zhou Chen to draw, Li Muzi specially prepared lesson plans in the afternoon. Because Zhou Chen basically had zero basic knowledge, he had to teach from scratch.
Li Muzi is a very patient person, and Zhou Chen is now an academic master who can draw inferences from one example to other cases, so one teaches and the other learns, and the theoretical learning effect is surprisingly good.
In the next two days, Zhou Chen would study painting with Li Muzi in the morning and evening, and go to the antique market in the afternoon.
Teaching Zhou Chen to paint has obviously aroused Li Muzi's strong interest. He prepares and teaches lessons very seriously every day. Especially when he sees Zhou Chen's continuous progress, he feels a sense of accomplishment, and then he asks for help. Work harder.
In her words, the sooner Zhou Chen learns how to be a teacher, the sooner he can discuss things with her. She likes her husband to make progress and discuss things with her in the fields she is best at.
After visiting the antique market for a few days, Zhou Chen bought two gadgets, a square inkstone from the Ming Dynasty and another from the Qing Dynasty.
That evening, after Zhou Chen and Li Muzi had dinner, they walked out of the community arm in arm and walked along the roadside.
"Husband, there is an art exhibition in Baoshan in the middle of this month. Let's go see it together."
"Okay, I haven't been to the art exhibition yet. You have to introduce it to me then."
"Well, actually going to art exhibitions will greatly promote your learning of painting. Husband, I think your talent is very high. Even if you learn late, you may not have the potential to become a master."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Wife, you really think highly of your husband and me."
He learned painting from Muzi Li, on the one hand, to communicate and get along better with Muzi Muzi, and on the other hand, he also wanted to learn the skill of painting.
There are many arts that don’t overwhelm one’s body, not to mention that painting itself is a very practical skill.
The two walked for several kilometers, not very fast, but when they came back, it was Zhou Chen who was carrying Li Muzi on his back.
Li Muzi hugged Zhou Chen's neck and pressed tightly against Zhou Chen's body. He was very happy and comfortable, and would sway naughtily from time to time.
Li Muzi is 1.73 meters tall and is not a very thin type, but her weight is really nothing to Zhou Chen, and there is no pressure at all on her back.
Just when Zhou Chen was carrying Li Muzi on his back and was about to walk into the community, a group of people suddenly stood in front of him.
"He Fei, I've finally waited for you."
Zhou Chen looked at the fierce-looking men in front of him, and after a moment's thought, he guessed their identities.
"Are you Brother K's subordinates?"
"You still know about us. How dare you block Brother K's mobile phone number and refuse to answer our calls? Are you tired of living?"
