rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 533 New Year’s greetings to the boss

Cao Xiong is from the Guangming Second Team of Erlong Town.

Speaking of which, Cao Xiong and Chen Li are classmates in the same class but in different classes, but they are only in the same class in junior high school.

After graduating from junior high school, Cao Xiong was sent to a vocational technical school in the city by his family.

In fact, in the early years, such vocational technical schools were still very popular, but in recent years, even secondary normal and technical secondary schools have almost lost their influence, let alone such vocational technical schools.

However, there is also an advantage to such a school, that is, it does not depend on grades at all.

No matter how bad your grades are, you only need to pay to get admitted.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this lack of bottom line that the current vocational technical schools have almost become a place where poor and bad students gather.

In these schools, smoking, drinking, fighting, and fighting are basically normal phenomena.

Teachers in schools often don’t care much about their students. Anyway, they just attend classes and get paid. As for whether the students learn anything

Then they have nothing to do!

In a school like this, it is conceivable that Cao Xiong, a poor student, naturally did not learn any skills that he could use.

"You go to college just to find a good job."

"Oh~ Is this the male child of Lao Cao's family?"

He left Erlong Town after graduating from junior high school, so he really didn't know much about Chen Li's current situation.

"Hmph~ That's it for you!"

Tang Bo continued to set up the dragon gate formation with a group of spirited young men, while Chen Li over there led Cao Xiong, who was carrying a jar, to the Guokui stall not far away.

"Then return the red envelope to me!"

In addition, as an employee, Cao Xiong is very clear about the concept of the wealth that Chen Li now possesses.

"Are they all Chinese?"

He doesn't expect that this will make his boss look at him with admiration. At least when he is likely to be promoted in the future, the boss may become familiar with him?

So ~ Cao Xiong considers himself a smart person.

However, Cao Xiong hadn't arrived at Chen's house yet, but he saw his boss at the town's carousel.

So, on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Cao Xiong brought some fermented glutinous rice made by his grandmother to pay Chen Li a happy new year.

Shenzhen City in 2000 has indeed developed in a decent way, but if compared with Hong Kong Island at this time, the gap is still very obvious.

"Dad, you can play mahjong!"

Moreover, Tang Bo has stayed in Shenzhen for almost five years, and Hong Kong Island and Shenzhen are almost separated by a thin line, but he has never been to Hong Kong Island once.

Moreover, the sales volume of the Minzu University branch where this guy works ranks among the top ten of all Ideal Fried Chicken stores.

"Give it back to me~ I just took a bite."

Chen Li took action directly, snatched a pot helmet with jelly from Chen Xue's hand, and then warned.

Chen Xue was obviously not happy that her pot helmet was robbed, and she immediately planned to snatch it back.

"Chen Li was admitted to a key university in Yanjing."

"Now that Chen Li has become the boss, it's just a matter of not being able to learn!"

"Chen Li just dropped out of school because he made a fortune in business."

Moreover, Chen Li dropped out of school not to make money, but mainly because Chen Li felt that studying in school was far less efficient than he was in the system space.

Wang Yan on the side stretched out her hand and handed the uneaten Guokui Cold Rice Noodles to Chen Li.

As a result, Chen Li's continued stay in school is basically a waste of time.

As soon as he arrived at Chen's house, Cao Xiong greeted Chen Li's parents.

When Tang Bo heard that Chen Li had dropped out of school, he subconsciously thought of some not-so-good situations.

Although Chen Li was actually quite impatient with this kind of entertainment, he really couldn't refuse these.

To put it bluntly, it would be better for Chen Li to accept this jar of glutinous rice. Even if he doesn’t accept it, he just needs to show his face in front of Chen Li, the boss.

Then Cao Xiong went to Yanjing.

"What are you talking nonsense~?"

"Hey~ don't tell me, this Chinese smoke is different!"

Chen Xue is not stupid, a pot helmet with jelly only costs two yuan, and the red envelope Chen Li gave her is a full five hundred yuan. Even a little kid can do the math.

What an inch of land is precious~ What a high level of consumption~ What a life of debauchery~ Urban temptation ahem~ I seem to be thinking a little wrong!

There's no way~ The impression behind it is actually the information Tang Bo got from his boss's boss.

But I didn't expect that after this guy went to Yanjing, he started working honestly.

And based on Chen Li's current wealth and status, it is estimated that in the first month of the year, there will be many people coming to visit him to pay New Year greetings.

"Have you ever heard of Marlboro?"

And although Hong Kong Island was returned to Hong Kong in 1997, there are actually not many people from the mainland who have been to Hong Kong Island these days.

Cao Xiong came to wish him New Year greetings, and he wanted to take him home for a cup of tea or something.

"Chen Li dropped out of school? Did he get into trouble at school?"

"But~ this Huazi is actually like this. Let me tell you, the outside smoke is actually the most exciting."

After all, he was from a small town, and the people who came to his door were all customers. Naturally, Chen Li had to follow suit.

Therefore, Chen Li’s aunt usually makes the mash at Chen Li’s house and brings it to him.

"Uncle Chen~Auntie Wang~Happy New Year~!"

No big deal. Just don’t brag about domestic stuff!

On the contrary, because it is very close to Hong Kong Island, Tang Bo has some information about Hong Kong Island.

But at the same time, the Chen family may also choose to pay New Year greetings in the first month.

It wasn't until June last year that Cao Xiong received a call from his former classmate and his brother Wei Laoer who used to hang out together.

"Sister Ling~ Keep an eye on them, mainly Chen Xue. Don't play with firecrackers."

The purpose of the visit is naturally very obvious. One is to inquire about the situation at Chen Li's side, and the other is to ask Chen Li to take more care of Cao Xiong in the future.

The National University branch where he works makes a lot of money every month, but there are more than 200 ideal fried chicken branches like this.

Chen Li made an introduction on the side, and then Chen Guofu and Wang Dongmei reacted instantly.

"Holy shit, this guy Chen Li is so awesome!"

Of course Cao Xiong had some considerations in bringing only a little glutinous rice.

"But~ I heard that he has dropped out of school now."

"I can just say hello to Cao Xiong."

Tang Bo looked at the Huazi in his hand, lit it, took a sip, and then looked at Chen Li's leaving back and asked the person next to him.

However, this is considered human nature. After all, in Chinese schools, very few people drop out of school normally.

Originally, Cao Xiong wanted to go out to work, but his parents were worried that he would cause trouble outside, so they delayed letting him go.

Tang Bo looked at Chen Li's leaving figure, rolled his eyes, then turned his head and continued to blow his shell.

So, after Cao Xiong asked Chen Li if Hong Kong Island was fun, Tang Bo suddenly fell silent.

Of course, some of the credit for this is due to Wei Laoer's ears.

"It is said that Chen Li opened dozens of stores in Yanjing, and the business is huge."

"Um~ I have something to do, please come back soon!"

It was the glutinous rice made by his grandmother, which was a rare delicacy in Erlong Town.

The salary of Ideal Fried Chicken is directly linked to sales and profits, so Cao Xiong, the so-called store manager of the Minzu University branch, made a lot of money last year.

Okay~ The guy who explained it to Tang Bo actually didn’t know much about Chen Li’s situation.

But Cao Xiong didn't care about this. Rather than worrying about his image, he was more worried that Chen Li would not accept the jar of glutinous rice wine from him.

Generally speaking, New Year greetings must be in the first month.

"That old man is Cao Jiali from the Second Guangming Team."

Chen Li did not refuse. After taking it, he handed it to Cao Xiong next to him.

After Chen Li warned him, he led Cao Xiong towards the Chen family.

After all, I received a bottle of Wuliangye as a gift from the Cao family at that time!

In fact, it was not Chen Guofu who wanted to accept the gift~ He was not short of the money for the bottle of Wuliangye. It was Cao Jiali who secretly put the bag containing the wine in the Chen family's kitchen, and Chen Guofu discovered it after the others left.

"And you even went to Hong Kong Island? Are you going there to have fun or to make money?"

Speaking of which, Cao Xiong is not very good at studying, and he even behaves a bit mischievously.

Chen Li's parents naturally don't know the current Cao Xiong, but they do know Cao Jiali, the captain of the Guangming Second Team.

Now, Chen Li was a little helpless. He wanted to hear someone bragging, but he couldn't!

After all, Erlong Town is too small and does not have a dedicated station. Passenger vehicles usually pick up and drop off passengers here.

There are many smart people in this world, and Cao Xiong considers himself one of them.

The spirited young man next to him said this while lighting up the Chinese cigarette that Chen Li handed him. After taking a puff, he pretended to be a long-time smoker and commented.

With his education and experience, it would be really difficult to find a job with such a salary.

So when Chen Li mentioned Cao Jiali, the two of them immediately remembered it.

There is no way~ Tang Bo is bragging about the prosperity of Shencheng to the few people around him who have never seen the world.

But then again~ Even if Chen Li refuses to accept it, as long as Cao Xiong has his heart, some things will be settled.

On weekdays, Tang Bo often learned about the prosperity of Hong Kong Island from his boss and his boss’s boss.

Anyway, for young energetic guys, they have a lot of cool stuff to brag about.

Cao Xiong was also very knowledgeable and nodded quickly to express that he did not need to be greeted.

It's a bit ridiculous to say it~ This guy even put on a new suit that he bought during a blind date today, but it looked a bit weird to be carrying a clay jar in his hand.

In short~ Cao Xiong is very careful and resourceful. But I have to say that his trick is actually quite effective.

Therefore, Cao Xiong deliberately chose New Year’s Eve to come and wish him New Year’s greetings in advance.

It was precisely because of his grandmother's craftsmanship that Cao Xiong dared to bring a small jar of glutinous rice to his house to pay New Year greetings.

Therefore, Cao Xiong was very respectful when facing Chen Li.

Wei Laoer, a guy who used to be fearless except for the old man and his mother's rolling pin, was extremely well-behaved when he saw Chen Li in Yanjing.

It's a pity that he couldn't listen now, so Chen Li had no choice but to take out his cigarette and give it to these energetic young men, then turned around and left.

Chen Guofu and Wang Dongmei were somewhat confused because they did not know Cao Xiong.

"Uncle Chen, just play with yourself, I'll just chat with Brother Li for a while."

"That's not right~ I remember Chen Li's grades were pretty good~ Could it be that he didn't get into college?"

In fact, Cao Xiong had considered choosing the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month to come here to pay New Year greetings.

In addition to being a carousel itself, this carousel is also a station in Erlong Town.

There is definitely no shortage of general gift presentations. After all, he is a big boss.

Not to mention that Cao Xiong learned from Wei Laoer that his boss, who came from the same town as himself, was still engaged in some high-tech Internet technology.

"Oh~ I remembered it, I remembered it!"

In fact, it's not that they don't know each other, it's just that they don't know the current Cao Xiong.

It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, the reason why Chen Li dropped out of school was really just to make money in business.

It is true that Tang Bo has never been to Hong Kong Island, but his boss's boss often travels between Shenzhen and Hong Kong Island.

"No wonder they all smoke soft flowers."

"I'm coming over today to wish you a happy New Year in advance!"

Cao Xiong was shocked to see Chen Li here. He thought Chen Li was going to another place by car, so he quickly came over to say hello.

Especially when Cao Xiong chose a somewhat "appropriate" time to come over and say hello, Chen Li had a profound impression of Cao Xiong.

Chen Li, a guy of the same age, is definitely a real guy.

However, Chen Li waved his hand, indicating that he could just leave it to him.

As for other bacon and so on, Chen Li, who is also a local of Erlong Town, probably has no shortage of it at home.

"Well, the boss of the Chen family is doing well now, isn't he?"

Chen Li straightened his face and took out his trump card. Chen Xue immediately became honest.

"You don't know this?"

Chen Guofu and Wang Dongmei naturally remembered who Cao Xiong was. To be precise, they thought of Cao Xiong's parents.

He knows that it may be difficult to make a fortune based on his own abilities, but if he can join someone, then it shouldn't be a problem to live a well-off life.

In fact, after Cao Xiong received a call from Wei Laoer, his parents, Cao Jiali and his wife, came to visit Chen Guofu and Wang Dongmei.

At this stage, generally speaking, there are basically three situations in which students drop out of school. Either they drop out due to illness, or they have no money to pay tuition, or they get into trouble in school and are ordered to drop out.

What he knew was information from a long time ago.

After being kicked out of the school, Cao Xiong hung out in Erlong Town for two years.

Every year, people come to his grandmother's house and ask her to help her make glutinous rice.

So at this moment, Chen Guofu quickly stood up and prepared to greet Cao Xiong.

As a result, Cao Xiong came over and gave Tang Bo a blow on the head.

Of course~ Chen Li’s family actually has this kind of thing, and Chen Li’s mother can make it, but she’s not that good at it.

Now~ this guy is already the manager of the Ideal Fried Chicken Minzu University branch.

"Brother Li~ I'll give this to you too!"

Chen Li often explained this kind of thing to others at first, but later he didn't bother to explain it anymore and let outsiders see it how he wanted!

But compared to the mash made by Cao Xiong's grandmother, it's still a little bit inferior.

In fact, Chen Li was quite happy to hear Tang Bo bragging like this. He found it quite interesting.

He didn't even get a diploma because in the second grade, he was expelled from school for fighting in a group.

Although Cao Xiong didn't know much about these things, it didn't stop him from confirming one thing.

Especially in a small place like Erlong Town, Chen Li might be the first person to go to Hong Kong Island.

"That's alright~ Xiaoli, greet a nice person!"

Chen Guofu also knew that the other party was actually here to find his son, so he did not persist.

"Let's go~ let's go up and chat!"

Chen Li glanced at Cao Xiong and nodded.

Cao Xiong also nodded and followed Chen Li upstairs, holding in his hand.

He was also carrying a jar of glutinous rice made by his grandmother!
