Chapter 83 - Gossip (3)
Shu Yan cleaned the place up personally and had a simple lunch before Boss Zhang and his team arrived. Chen Fei was there as well. He walked through the store inside and out as though he was looking for something.
“Yes? Something’s the matter?” Shu Yan thought that the discussion that they’ve had covered all the details. She wasn’t expecting any issues with it.
“Oh, no. I just came with them to go over some details with them, just in case.” Chen Fei asked in a seemingly casual manner, “Boss Lady, the person I ran into this morning was here for a job interview?”
“Yes, she’s the aunt of my daughter’s classmate.” Shu Yan’s eyes rolled and she smiled. “The factory she was working at wasn’t doing too well, so she planned to resign and get a job outside. She happened to find out that I was hiring so she came and took a look. She is two years older than me but looks about ten years younger. That’s the difference between a single woman and a married woman.”
Chen Fei already looked somewhat disappointed when Shu Yan said Zhang Huaxiu was two years older than her but his eyes lit up again when he heard the part that she was still single. “She’s still single.”
“Yeah, she never found that right person. I think that’s a good way of looking at it. Marriage is no simple matter. You don’t just get married because you are at the right age.” Shu Yan glanced over at Chen Fei and asked, “I seemed to remember that Architect Chen is also single? Well, are you interested in Xiuxiu?”
Chen Fei blushed right away and said, “No, no such thing. I’m just.... Just asking was all. I still have something else to take care of back at the office. I will be back.” Chen Fei was almost out the door before he came back and asked, “Will she be working here?”
“Yes, that’s the plan. But she needed to take care of matters at the factory first. I am not sure exactly which day she will be starting.” Shu Yan raised her brows. And he still said he wasn’t interested in her? Yeah, right.
After Chen Fei had taken off, Shu Yan couldn’t help but went to find out more about him from the foreman.
“How old is your Architect Chen? He looks much younger than me?” Even though the female being the older one in a relationship wasn’t too much of a problem, those of the older generations would gossip about it. So it’s always better if the female was younger.
“He’s 29 years old. They are white-collared workers. All he does is sit in the office and draft plans all day long so naturally he looked much younger than us.” The foreman was quite envious of him. “Plus he has part ownership. Just his bonus is higher than our salaries combined.”
“Oh, so he is one of your bosses?” That was unexpected.
“Yeah. He was recruited over from a big company by our boss. Other than his high income, we’ve heard that he even has 10% ownership of the company.”
“More than that. I heard 20 %,” said the concrete man next to the foreman.
“What? I’ve heard 30%,” said the electrician.
Yup. Women were not the only ones who loved to gossip; men, too, enjoyed it as well.
Well, no matter the actual percentage, one thing for sure was that Chen Fei has ownership of the company. His income wouldn’t be bad at all. He has a pretty good appearance and mild temperament. Seemed like he’d be a good catch.
“Where is he from? So mighty.” Shu Yan looked gossipy.
“Province Chuan. Architect Chen doesn’t talk much normally. We don’t know much more beyond that.” The foreman turned and chatted with the others about how much of the company did Chen Fei own.
Shu Yan listened to them for a while. Not gleaming any more new information, she bid the foreman farewell and went to pick up her kids.
“Mom, I got a little red flower again.” Tianbao lifted his head up high and showed Shu Yan the little red flower on his head.
“Our Tianbao is so awesome! Earning his little red flower again! Mommy will go buy a new notebook today just for your little red flowers.” In order to encourage Ye Tianbao to be more proactive, Shu Yan figured she’d adopt the little red flower system at home as well. Hmm, maybe one for Ye Jingjing as well. That’s right, she could have a spot at home dedicated to measure their heights and also a wall for all their awards. These would all become the milestones of the kids growing. It might not look like much right now, but they’d all become good memories once they were grown.
She made a mental note to go tell the master at Nanfu Mansion tomorrow to make some modifications to the wall in the living room.
