Forty minutes later, we finally arrived at Zhuang Shuo's home.
It is an old community. Because the floors are all within eight floors, there is no elevator.
Zhuang Shuo said with some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry. Living on the top floor at home is indeed a bit difficult, but you'll get used to it."
Chen Mo smiled slightly: "It's okay, they are all people who have climbed stairs before, and they have long been used to it!"
He didn't pick up his daughter, who was already a little breathless. This girl liked to play with computers and was very inactive, so it was just right for her to move around.
"Jingyan, I'm back!"
As soon as he opened the door, Zhuang Shuo shouted into the room.
Then rapid footsteps sounded, and a little boy about three years old ran over: "Dad, you are finally back! Hey, why do you have an uncle and a sister?"
"It's a guest!"
Zhuang Shuo knelt down and picked up his daughter Jingyan: "Yanyan, this is Uncle Chen Mo, and this is Sister Luoluo. Call someone quickly."
"Hello Uncle Chen Mo, hello Sister Luoluo!"
Xiaotuanzi shouted in a sweet voice, then struggled to get off Zhuang Shuo and walked to Shen Xingluo: "Hello, sister Luoluo, I am Yanyan, can I play with you?"
"Hello sister Yanyan, of course you can!"
Originally, Shen Xingluo just wanted to find an excuse to help her father. She didn't care if there were children playing with her. But when she saw this little dumpling who was more than a year younger than herself, she immediately found it very interesting. After all, she was not the youngest. Yes.
At this time, a woman wearing an apron also came over: "Back? Who is this?"
Zhuang Shuo walked to his wife in two steps: "Xiaohui, this is my high school classmate Chen Mo, and that is his daughter Shen Xingluo...Chen Mo, this is my wife Zhou Xuehui."
"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm here to visit and bother you!"
"What did Mr. Chen say? Please come in quickly. The house is a little small. Don't mind." After saying that, she turned to her husband and whispered, "You really don't know how to make a phone call if you have guests coming. I don't even know what to do. No food has been prepared!”
"It's okay, we bought some cooked food outside."
Zhuang Shuo said to his wife with a smile, and then invited Chen Mo and his daughter to sit down in the living room.
They said they were sitting in the living room, but they were actually sitting at the dining table. Because the house was not big, the living room and dining room were actually squeezed together.
Zhou Hui had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her husband to come home.
As soon as he entered the house, Chen Mo looked around the whole house without leaving any trace. It was roughly a two-bedroom apartment, which was not very expensive in such an old community.
And on the way here, he also chatted with Zhuang Shuo for a while and knew that the other person was not having a satisfactory life.
After dinner, the two little girls ran to the room to play. The three of them sat on the sofa without saying a word.
Finally, it was Zhuang Shuo who took the lead to break the calm: "Chen Mo, I remember that your hometown is Songcheng, Sichuan Province. When you came to me today, it must not be as simple as looking at me, an old classmate, right?"
"Indeed, I went to the Three Treasures Hall this time for no reason. I wanted to ask your old classmate for help."
Now that the other party has spoken out, there is nothing Chen Mo can't say.
After hearing his words, Zhuang Shuo was stunned for a moment and realized that the other party now knew about his situation, so asking him for help might only be related to his profession.
Seeing the former staring at him, Chen Mo coughed dryly and took out his laptop from his bag.
"Look, Zhuang Shuo, my computer seems to be infected with a virus. As a result, many files cannot be opened. Even after calling many people, I can't solve it. I heard from my former high school classmates that you are very accomplished in computers. Some of the files in the computer are very... It’s important, so I have no choice but to come and seek your help.”
Although this statement was full of loopholes, Zhuang Shuo just glanced at Chen Mo and took the computer.
Soon he got into the mood, and his fingers kept tapping on the keyboard. After about ten minutes, he handed over the computer: "Okay, now try to see if you can open the files you mentioned."
But Chen Mo just closed the computer and put it back into his bag: "I'm really sorry, Zhuang Shuo, sister-in-law, I lied to you. I just wanted to test Zhuang Shuo's ability."
The virus on the computer was planted by his daughter Shen Xingluo. It is not difficult, but it is not that easy to remove.
But his old classmate only took about ten minutes to eliminate the virus. Even if his ability was not as good as Luoluo's, it was not far behind.
Zhuang Shuo laughed when he heard this: "Your words are full of loopholes. I have known it for a long time. Tell me, what is it?"
Zhou Xuehui next to her was also very curious. Is this Chen Mo going all the way to test her husband's strength? It can't be justified.
"It's like this. I plan to set up an entertainment company in the near future, but I can't find suitable candidates for management in terms of network technology. I found out that your university major is electronic information engineering and technology, so I came over to ask you what you think. After all, such a I can rest assured when important departments are handed over to people I know well.”
"You want to set up an entertainment company, so why did you leave her alone..."
Zhuang Shuo held it back mid-sentence. It had always been his own fault in judgment. Because Luo Luo was almost five years old and hadn't gone to school yet, he thought Chen Mo's life was too...
Zhou Xuehui's eyes did brighten up after hearing this, but she did not speak, but waited for her husband to make his own decision.
Knowing that Zhuang Shuo had misunderstood something, Chen Mo smiled and said, "That girl doesn't like going to school. She always feels that she is too childish. By the way, the virus that I asked you to remove just now was planted by that girl."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. His daughter was really great.
Zhuang Shuo smiled awkwardly after hearing this. He spent more than ten minutes planting a computer virus on a little girl less than five years old. It was really annoying to compare people to each other!
Then he thought of Chen Mo's words and suddenly became hesitant to speak.
"I'm talking about old classmates. There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Ahem, um... Chen Mo, you mean to ask me to help you manage the network technology department. I wonder how much... salary you can give me?"
After stumbling over his words, his face turned red, and even Zhou Xuehui next to him became very embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mo sighed after hearing this. He still vaguely remembered that this old classmate had very good grades in high school and was once called the pride of No. 3 Middle School.
But now, in order to support his family, his sharp edge has been worn away.
After sighing, he said: "Because the company is in its early stages, I can't offer you a very high salary. In the first year, it will be around 350,000 yuan!"
"What? Three hundred and fifty thousand a year?!"
The one who exclaimed was Zhou Xuehui. She takes care of everything at home, so she knows very well that even though her husband earns more than 10,000 yuan a month, he can only barely get by in a first-tier city like Jinhai.
Chen Mo nodded with certainty: "Yes, three hundred and fifty thousand a year in the initial period, excluding welfare bonuses."
However, Zhuang Shuo was not dazzled by the unexpected annual salary, but continued to ask: "The company has not been established yet, right? Then Chen Mo, when do you plan to establish it?"
"Well~~~ It's almost mid-September now. According to my plan, I will register the company around mid-October or the end of October."
"The company will definitely be successfully established?"
"Of course, I have almost raised the funds, about 40 million, but there is still a lack of opportunity."
Chen Mo once again brought up a key point that could further dispel the other party's concerns.
Zhuang Shuo opened his mouth but didn't say a word. They were almost the same age and went to the same high school. The gap between the two was really not that big.
But now he has no reason to refuse.
So he stared at Chen Mo closely and said: "In other words, there is almost a month left, just enough for me to submit my resignation and hand over the work. As for this house..."
"Sell it. Since I choose to follow you, the place with you and Yanyan is my home!"
Zhou Xuehui directly made up her mind for her husband. Speaking of her being with her husband, she completely disobeyed her parents at home. Now she will not go back except for the Chinese New Year.
Moreover, she also remembered who Chen Mo was.
Since giving birth to her daughter, she has become a full-time housewife, so she sometimes pays attention to things in the entertainment industry, and the name Chen Mo has been on the hot search several times.
Combined with what I just learned, the Chen Mo in front of me graduated from Yancheng Conservatory of Music, so he should be the same person.
Just when Chen Mo was about to say something, Shen Xingluo came out of the room: "Dad, it's already eight o'clock now. I'm afraid Mom's singing has ended, right?!"
(To be continued!)
