Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Chapter 568 You Will Support Me From Now On

Jiang Yanqiu was about to refuse, but Aunt Nan took over the conversation: "If you don't want it, we wouldn't be able to accept a single cent. Last time you helped us earn over three million, and we didn't say anything in return. This time, it was all your advice, so we only contributed a little."

Chu Tingnan also smiled and said, "Just accept it. Thank you, aunt and uncle."

Nanda's aunt said with a smile: "That's good, otherwise we will feel embarrassed to take advantage of you in the future."

Jiang Yanqiu no longer insisted and said with a smile: "As a family, why would anyone take advantage of others? If you don't believe us, that would be a lie. By the way, how is my brother doing? He didn't cause any trouble for the company, did he?"

Uncle Nan said cheerfully, "He's doing quite well. He's hardworking and clever, but he's a bit of a glutton. Your cousin called me a few days ago and said he particularly loves butter crabs and blue crabs, and he goes fishing whenever he has time."

Jiang Yanqiu was also amused when she heard this: "I guess he ran out of money, so he only brought a hundred yuan."

My aunt said cheerfully, "As long as boys don't break the law, gamble, or visit prostitutes, let them do whatever they want. I used to hear Nan and his brothers always go to the beach to catch seafood, staying there all day and sometimes even spending the night there. It's hard to control them."

Jiang Yanqiu said, "That's what my dad wanted. He wanted him to go out and try his luck. Even if he got a job in the capital, he'd only make 42 yuan a month, which wouldn't be enough for him to eat. The salary here is higher, so as long as he can take care of himself, that's fine."

The internship salary here is two hundred yuan a month, and I don’t know how much it will be after becoming a regular employee.

Nowadays, no one is willing to work in private enterprises. Jiang Chaojie is the first college graduate in their company and is a hot commodity.

Although Jiang Chaojie's grades are average, Chu Tingnan has ordered him around a lot during his four years in college, so he has some practical experience.

He is also a hardworking and hardworking person, so there is nothing to worry about.

Nan Da's aunt said: "Now the salary here is high, and college graduates are even rarer. Even ordinary factory workers can make 70 or 80 yuan a month, including overtime pay, and sometimes even more than 100 yuan. Otherwise, people from other places would not be willing to come here.

Your uncle heard that many people in the capital couldn't find jobs, so he wanted to open two branches there. However, his superiors disagreed, saying that if they were going to open them, they should open them here and develop our economy first."

Jiang Yanqiu asked in surprise, "Over a hundred, how do you calculate your overtime pay?"

Nan's aunt said, "We pay according to Hong Kong standards. Saturdays and Sundays are off. The normal working hours are eight hours a day. Anything over eight hours is considered overtime."

I didn't expect that I would be paid as overtime pay now. More than one hundred yuan a month is really not a small amount.

Thinking back to her previous life, when she graduated from junior high school and worked a summer job, she only earned 300 yuan a month. The prices at that time were more than ten times what they are now.

Chu Tingnan said enviously, "This treatment is much better than ours. We only have one day off a week, and they have two."

Uncle Nan said, "Our overtime uniforms were designated before the establishment of the Special Administrative Region. Too many people were running to the other side before, and the higher-ups saw that the factory was making more money there, and they were afraid everyone would run away, so they gave us the same standard as over there."

Jiang Yanqiu asked curiously, "Is anyone else trying to escape now?"

Uncle Nan smiled and said, "After the establishment of the Special Administrative Region, there haven't been as many people smuggling there as before. Now that the control is not strict, not many people are going there, but there are quite a few smugglers.

The wages there are high, the prices are high, and the security situation is terrible. It's not necessarily better there than in mainland China.

Your uncle said that they were being smashed here and robbed there all day long, and they even kidnapped big bosses or their families for ransom. Sometimes the identities of the dead couldn't even be found."

Chu Tingnan echoed, "There's no death penalty over there. People with connections can be released after a few years. They can pull off a crime and be released in a few years. Ordinary people can't earn that much money in several lifetimes, so everyone wants to take the risk."

"you do not say!"

Jiang Yanqiu rested at the Nan family for two days, so Chu Tingnan didn't have to follow her all day.

She finally had a chance to be alone. She could enter her space again and everything inside was still there. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yanqiu began to sort out the things she had collected on the boat that day. Surprisingly, there were still dozens of bags of soil.

Although she didn't know what the soil was used for, she simply loaded it onto the boat and planned to return it to the owner.

Seeing that Jiang Yanqiu was almost recovered, Chu Tingnan went to take care of other things.

After all, it has been a year since I joined Boss Xia, and as the second largest shareholder, I don’t know much about the situation.

I must check it out here this time, as last year’s performance figures are also out.

We also have to go and check out the farm that Uncle Nan helps manage, as they don’t even know where the land is.

Some projects in the Special Administrative Region have been completed and the government has taken over.

There will be an opening ceremony in a few days, and the government has specially invited them.

Gu Qingqing and the others were originally planning to go back, but they were delayed for a few days.

Since they had sent out invitations and I was already here, I decided to stay and attend the opening ceremony before leaving.

Chu Tingnan, Gu Qingqing and others went to the Special Administrative Region. All the Nan family members went there, leaving only Jiang Yanqiu and the nanny at home.

Hearing that they did not come back that night, Jiang Yanqiu waited until the nanny fell asleep and then ran to Sanjiang Wharf.

She found that the sea area was still blocked.

But it's normal to think about it. A ship full of antiques and cultural relics just sank, so we have to salvage them no matter what. Even if we can only bring back some fragments, it would be great.

Jiang Yanqiu didn't care about that. She took away the warships from the Northern Soviet Union that she had captured on the battlefield before, as well as the antique cultural relics that she had collected this time.

Throw it all onto the sea and then run back.

She kept them in the space, but she didn't know if the space would disappear one day. She couldn't use those things, so she just took them out.

When she came back, she found that Chu Tingnan and the others had returned.

Fortunately, she ran fast, otherwise she would have bumped into him and not come home.

She went upstairs first.

Just as I returned to the room and lay on the bed, Chu Tingnan came upstairs.

As soon as he entered the house, he said, "You pighead, how come you don't even lock the door when you sleep? It really makes me worry."

As if talking to himself, he then spoke to Jiang Yanqiu.

Jiang Yanqiu pretended to have just woken up and mumbled sleepily, "I'm afraid you'll wake me up when you come back! Didn't you say you weren't coming back? Why are you back again?"

Chu Tingnan replied, "I woke you up. Old Seven went to poke the blue crab nest and found some butter crabs in there! He said he wanted to bring some back for you to try. There's nothing going on over there. My uncle came back for something, so I came back with her."

Jiang Yanqiu suddenly became excited and asked curiously, "How many did you catch? And you even found a blue crab nest!"

Chu Tingnan said proudly, "I don't know. I brought back more than 20 blue crabs and 6 yellow crabs. Let Tian Mi and the others come to my uncle's house for dinner tomorrow to try some of the fresh crabs!"

Jiang Yanqiu rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "Doesn't he have to go to work? He catches blue crabs every day."

Chu Tingnan smiled and said, "You don't know, their dormitory is so comfortable. Gu Qingqing said it's a large flat with a sea view, and it even has an elevator! Not only can you see the sea, but you can also see the Hong Kong River. It's only a few minutes' walk to the beach. They go to the beach whenever they have nothing to do!"

Jiang Yanqiu said in disbelief: "Their company treats them so well, and they even have a large flat with a sea view."

Chu Tingnan sighed and said, "That house is actually ours. My uncle asked him to collect the rent, so he gave it to a few of his engineers as a dormitory. Currently, he and his cousin live there, and two of his colleagues also live there!"

Jiang Yanqiu suddenly realized that when Gu Qingqing came here for internship, she was mainly responsible for supervising the renovation of the house.

They were allocated four twelve-story elevator apartments in proportion: three for Uncle Nan and his family, two for Gu Qingqing and his family, and one for Tian Mi and his family.

Jiang Yanqiu only knew how many square meters the house was, but had no idea what it was like.

Speechless, he said, "I was wondering why the treatment was so good, but he moved in before I even saw him."

Chu Tingnan smiled and said, "They are all bachelors. It's not safe for them to live in the staff dormitory. Besides, they all go out to play around. They are all relatives' children, so of course they need to live in a better place! This way, they won't go out to play around. Let me tell you a joke."

Jiang Yanqiu asked curiously, "What joke?"

"Today, a Hong Kong business owner chatted with us and said that the housing prices here are very cheap. In Hong Kong, a slightly better house would cost 500,000 or 600,000 yuan!

We asked, "What kind of house costs $500,000 or $600,000? How big would such an expensive house be?" They said 600 square feet.

Tian Mi immediately shouted, "Robbery! A 600-square-meter house costs 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, and this square meter must be more than 1,000 yuan!"

Gu Qingqing quickly explained that it was 600 square feet, which was only 56 square meters. Tian Mi immediately said "national quintessence."

Jiang Yanqiu said, "Then that house is not bad. Hong Kong is so small, how many people can live there? There are hundreds of thousands of refugees alone."

Chu Tingnan said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect it to be so expensive. A house of more than 50 square meters only costs a few thousand yuan in the Magic City where housing is tight.

No wonder Gu Qingqing had suggested turning that area into housing, saying it had a good environment and was close to Hong Kong. Now someone asked if it was for sale, and Gu Qingqing said they had no shortage of housing and would only rent it out, so we listened to him.

Jiang Yanqiu nodded repeatedly and said, "I think so too. The housing prices will definitely go up again, and there is no urgent need for money now."

Chu Tingnan said, "Gu Qingqing still wants to buy land, but all the land near Xiangjiang is sold out. She said she wants to focus on business first and talk about it later. When Tian Mi saw that she didn't want to buy, she didn't buy either."

Jiang Yanqiu explained, "Both the Imperial Capital and the Magic City are developing rapidly now. They are attracting investment everywhere. The government will provide some preferential policies wherever you invest. She might also want to invest in the Imperial Capital and the Magic City."

Chu Tingnan joked, "From now on, I'll focus on my studies and collect rent from you. You have to support me in the future."

Since you are studying for a master's degree, you must produce some results, otherwise what is the point of studying for a master's degree.

Jiang Yanqiu also said cheerfully: "No problem, but before we go back, let's go to the temple we visited last time."

Jiang Yanqiu felt that the monk who saved them that night was from that temple and wanted to see it with her own eyes.

Chu Tingnan said, "I still have to go. I have a psychological trauma about that place."

Jiang Yanqiu said nonchalantly, "There aren't that many surprises."
