"Hmm? Xiao Chen, this can't do. This is speculation, you know?”
The only way to sell furniture was to go to the mall and buy it with tickets.
You can only make it for your own family, you can't sell it.
Of course, no one investigated the money transactions between neighbors.
For example, hadn't Chen Qi's furniture been bought by these neighbors at an extremely low price?
However, Director Zhang was an official after all. He might have enemies, so he could not do such a thing.
Especially with so many people watching.
If it was in private, it would be more like it.
Director Zhang regretted it even more now. If he had known earlier, he would have told Chen Qi to buy his chair during dinner.
The main reason was that he did not know that Xiao Chen's cooking was so good.
It was completely beyond her understanding of furniture.
This was normal.
It wasn't like in the past where everyone could see exquisitely designed furniture on TV.
Dragon chairs, dragon beds, and so on.
It was as exquisite as it could be.
It was as domineering as it could be.
Those were all designed by professional designers.
How could people in this era have seen it before?
Although this armchair was also very beautiful and exquisite in Chen Qi's eyes, it was not to the point where he could not take his eyes off it.
Carving was one aspect.
All kinds of polishing, cutting, and assembling were the essence of technology.
They could not understand at all.
"What is Director Zhang talking about? Didn't you ask me to make you an armchair? What business? This is labor, alright?”
Chen Qi reacted immediately and thought to himself that this era was really troublesome.
However, he immediately changed his mind.
They couldn't buy or sell, but if they worked for others, it was called labor.
"Oh, right, right, right. It was indeed the armchair that I asked you to make for me!”
When Director Zhang saw how smart Chen Qi was, he couldn't help but praise her in his heart.
The others also knew.
As long as Chen Qi and Director Zhang insisted, there was nothing they could do even if they reported it.
And would they dare to report Director Zhang?
It was too late to curry favor.
"Then what about your labor fees and the cost of your wood?”
Director Zhang asked again.
"I've only just started and haven't set the price yet. I'll ask Uncle Zhao and the others tomorrow. I'll go to Director Zhang and report it to you then!”
Chen Qi said with a smile.
"Alright, then come and find me tomorrow!”
Everyone else understood.
What was there to report? It was clearly for Director Zhang.
"Alright, then I'll leave first. I should be able to contact you for a job in the next two days. Xiao Chen, perform well then!”
"When the reputation of your craftsmanship is established, those who need it will take the initiative to ask me!”
Director Zhang was grinning from ear to ear.
Chen Qi asked her for help in finding work, invited her to dinner, and even gave her a chair.
Do you think that when the time comes, there will be no need for others to go to her to ask about Chen Qi?
Of course, it was just to inquire about a person. There was no need to give him any big gifts.
He just needed to give them a box of eggs, a pound of meat, and some salted duck eggs.
But every little bit makes a mickle.
Director Zhang knew very well that with Chen Qi's skills, there would definitely be a lot of people who would ask about her in the future.
Especially after some of Chen Qi's works were circulated.
For example, Chen Qi had given Zhang San an eight-square table today.
Such an exquisite eight-square table, he should invite his close friends to eat, right?
When a large group of people came and saw this thing, they would naturally want it, so they had to ask around.
Zhang San only knew that it was Director Zhang who found the person, so the others could only go to Director Zhang.

What was the way of the world? This was the way of the world.
This was how the Xia people did things.
If he didn't give her something, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
"By the way, Director Zhang, I have requirements for my work. Don't look for me for work that ordinary carpenters can do. Not only does it earn less, but I also have to put in a lot of effort.”
Chen Qi quickly added when he saw that Director Zhang was about to leave.
Chen Qi's tone sounded very arrogant, but the others did not think there was anything wrong with it.
If they had such skills, they would be ten thousand times more arrogant than Chen Qi.
"I know that. A leader came to greet me today and said that I can't tire you out! There's a special supply factory that will ask you for help from time to time!”
Director Zhang smiled and said,
"Actually, I don't even need to help you find a job. Do you know the director of the special supply factory? He'll find you a job!"
When the surrounding people heard the word 'special supply plant', their eyes immediately widened.
Of course, the special supply was for those institutions and courtyards.
There was another round of discussion.
"You mean Uncle Zhao? He did say that he would introduce me to work. He wanted me to work for him, but I still want to be an individual and be more comfortable!”
Chen Qi said.
If Chen Qi was not married, he would definitely have gone.
This was because in the 1950s, the country had organized educated youths to go to the countryside.
Those who graduated from primary and secondary school, those who were old enough, and those who did not have a job seemed to have to go to the countryside for a few years to help build the countryside.
In fact, the general rule was that one had to go at the age of 16.
However, Chen Qi's family was special, and they had never been given a spot.
After that, Chen Qi got married at the age of 18, so he didn't have to go.
Therefore, if Chen Qi was not married, he would definitely not be an individual and work in that special supply factory.
With a job, there was no need to go to the countryside.
Fortunately, Chen Qi was married and could be at ease as an individual.
It was not that Chen Qi was deliberately avoiding national policies.
It was because the country's resources were biased towards the cities, and the rural areas were really suffering.
Look at Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, and later Qin Jingru. After coming to Beijing, none of them wanted to return to the countryside.
Nowadays, the villagers were earning a living, and it was difficult to even fill their stomachs.
Not to mention eating well.
In a few years, when the wind blows, the supplies in the city will be greatly affected, and the countryside will be filled with hungry people.
It would be fine as long as he could get through those few years.
After that, the supplies began to slowly fill up, and they no longer needed tickets.
At that time, he could buy whatever he wanted and eat whatever he wanted.
"Well, if you have the ability, you can naturally be more picky. Aiyo, it's so heavy!”
Director Zhang said as he moved the armchair.
However, Chen Qi had made this armchair big and made it out of jujube wood, so it was very heavy.
Director Zhang worked as a civilian all year round, so it was normal that he could not move it.
"Hey, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, help Director Zhang move the stool back!”
Chen Qi pointed at the Liu brothers who had come to watch the show.
Liu Guangtian had already been assigned a job and would be able to go to work in two days.
Liu Guangfu was still unemployed.
Therefore, the two brothers were still watching the show.
Not only them, but also the Yan Family's Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekang, and Yan Jiedi siblings.
The Yan Family had four siblings, three older brothers and one younger sister.
Yan Jiecheng had already started working, but he still lived in the courtyard house.
The other three had yet to start working.
After all, Chen Qi had transmigrated three to four years earlier.
The second brother, Yan Jiefang, should be getting a job soon.
"Why should we go? Who do you think you are? I'm not going!"
The two Liu brothers were instantly annoyed by Chen Qi's words.
Especially Liu Guangtian, who was about the same age as Chen Qi and had grown up together.
He had bullied Chen Qi quite a lot in the past two years.
Now that he saw how capable Chen Qi was, he felt extremely jealous and unbalanced.
