The next evening.
Jianglan City, Liuzhi Lane, Chengzhong District.
"That brat, it's already New Year's Day, why hasn't he come home for so long?"
The Su and Qin families had a dinner together, and Zhao Lixia kept chattering while they ate.
Seeing that other college students had returned from other places, but her own son was still in Lin'an, Su's mother was very anxious.
"This is company business. Which company doesn't have a lot of year-end work?"
Su Jianjun understood it very well, after all, he was a businessman.
"Yes, Lixia, Zelin is now the leader of a large company. You can't treat him as an ordinary college student!"
Liu Subun was smiling, and even had a bit of pride in his tone when he mentioned Su Zelin, as if the gangster was his own son-in-law.
She indeed regarded Su Zelin as her future son-in-law.
Qin's mother felt that her daughter was pretty and sensible. She had grown up with the neighbor's kid since childhood, and they were childhood sweethearts. They were talented and beautiful, and they came from a well-matched family. They were simply a match made in heaven.
In addition, the two elders of the neighboring Su family like Qin Shiqing very much. The right time, right place and right people are all in place. This marriage is a foregone conclusion.
As for the likes of junior high school sisters, although they are a bit threatening, they are nothing to be afraid of.
"When Zelin comes back, I'll have to thank him."
Qin Daqing drank two cups and his face turned as red as Guan Gong.
"If we had bought those shops in the Chengnan New District Market later, we would have to spend a lot more money now."
During the summer vacation, both families bought several shops in the Chengnan New District market.
At that time, the Jianglan government had actually already planned the new district, but the construction had just begun and many things were not yet complete. There were vegetable fields nearby and the roads were dirt roads with little traffic, which discouraged many investors. At that time, people in small cities did not have much vision for investing in real estate and shops. It was no exaggeration to say that many ordinary citizens were short-sighted. Even after the government's plan came out, they still only saw the desolate status quo of the new district in the south of the city, instead of anticipating what it would become in the future.
At that time, Su's father and Su Zelin strongly recommended that their father and Qin Daqing buy in. As a reborn person, he naturally knew that the shops in the South City Market would be very prosperous in the future. If they bought those shops, the rental income in ten or eight years would be enough for the two elders of the Qin family to do nothing and live the rest of their lives comfortably as a rent collector.
As for my parents, there is no need to even mention them. After ten or eight years, I won’t even know what they have achieved.
In the past six months, the dirt road leading to the South City Market has begun to harden. From being ignored in the beginning to attracting more attention, the price has also increased. If you go to buy it today, you will have to spend a few thousand more for each shop, which adds up to more than ten thousand yuan.
"Yes, Zelin really has a good eye. Whether buying stocks or shops, he is always so accurate!"
Qin Ma echoed.
Zhao Lixia was very happy to see her neighbors praising her son.
If it were when Su Zelin had just graduated, Su's mother would never have thought that Su Zelin would go to college and become "someone else's child".
"Shiqing, you are already a junior, you are not young anymore. Speaking of which, the daughter of the old Zhou family at the end of our alley, I heard that she had a boyfriend in her sophomore year, and she brought him home to meet her parents in her senior year."
Liu Shufen sighed, and on the surface she seemed to be lamenting that her daughter had grown up without her noticing, but in fact there was something else behind her words.
What I mean is, why is your relationship with your neighbor Zelin still at the stage where you are friends but not lovers
"mom!"
How could Qin Shiqing not understand what her mother meant
"Other people have boyfriends, that's their business, don't bring it up with me!"
Do you think your daughter doesn't want to work hard
People have tried their best!
It can’t be said that there was no progress in the relationship. After all, they stayed together on Christmas Eve, even though it was an accident.
"You kid..."
Liu Shufen shook her head, she seemed a bit like the eunuch who was anxious even though the emperor was not.
Now that Su Zelin is getting better and better, she hopes more and more that the two children can grow up sooner, so as to avoid any more trouble and end up with the cooked duck flying away.
While they were eating and chatting, a news report from a provincial TV station attracted the attention of the two families.
"Today, Zhejiang Province chain enterprise New Century Digital Co., Ltd. held a grand annual meeting at its Lin'an headquarters, and various parties came to congratulate. The following is the detailed content of the news..."
"It's Zelin's company. It's on the news!"
Several people became excited instantly. They didn't even bother to eat, and put down their bowls to watch the news first.
They all learned from Qin Shiqing that Su Zelin's company was going to hold an annual meeting, but they didn't know it would be on TV.
"This annual meeting venue is really big, and the decoration is luxurious, it's worthy of being a big company!"
"It's so lively, there must be hundreds of people here!"
"Even the deputy governor is here. This is incredible!"
"Zerlin was interviewed! Our son is on TV!"
"… "
The person who was most excited was Zhao Lixia when she saw Su Zelin appear on the TV screen.
Being on TV is a rare thing these days, and it wasn't just that she was accidentally captured on camera as a passerby. Su Zelin, the operations director, also accepted an interview with reporters. Although it was finally edited into a short shot of a few seconds, it was still enough to make Zhao Lixia proud.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will become Su Ma's topic of conversation during this winter vacation. Starting tomorrow, she will have to show off this matter to every household in Liuzhi Lane.
Su Zelin on the screen was facing the microphone, talking eloquently in front of hundreds of people. His mature and steady demeanor made Su Jianjun and Qin Daqing nod their heads repeatedly.
This child has been brave and positive since he was young, and he is never stage-frightened. He performed very well in this speech.
Qin Shiqing had a strange feeling in her heart.
My childhood sweetheart was the absolute protagonist of Willow Lane. He was so smart that he could learn anything quickly and almost always got full marks in exams. People in the lane hailed him as a child prodigy.
Although I was considered smart at that time, unfortunately I was dull compared to Su Zelin.
So Qin Shiqing could only work hard silently to catch up with her childhood sweetheart.
When she entered junior high school, she caught up and became a top student. However, Su Zelin had too many diverse interests, including music, street dance, sports, chess, photography, and video games. He did not focus on studying and gradually lost the aura of a child prodigy.
After entering high school, Qin Shiqing completely overtook others and became a top student, class leader, evening party host and announcer, with all-round development in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor aspects. However, Su Zelin at this time became a goofball in the eyes of his neighbors, and the girl replaced his childhood sweetheart and became "someone else's child."
Many people felt very sorry at the time, thinking that Su Zelin was the real-life version of Shang Zhongyong, and used him as a negative example when teaching their own children.
For example, "Look at Su Zelin, the son of the Su family. He was so smart when he was young and always got full marks in the exams. But unfortunately he didn't make progress and was at the bottom of the class in high school. You must study hard, but don't learn from that kind of person. On the other hand, Qin Shiqing from the Qin family is different. When she was young, she couldn't keep up with her studies. She was tutored by Su Zelin. Now she ranks first in the grade in almost every major exam in No. 2 Middle School!"
However, those people were wrong.
Xiao Linzi was never Zhongyong.
It has never wiped out the people.
It’s just that adults focus on studying and ignore other aspects.
After entering university, grades are no longer the only criterion for measuring a person. In comparison, comprehensive ability is more important. The childhood sweethearts burst into love again, returned to the focus of neighbors, and became the protagonists of Willow Lane again.
When talking about Su Zelin, the adults' attitudes changed again.
"Look at your brother Zelin. Although his grades were not very good in high school, he learned from his mistakes and became the class monitor in college. When his transcript was sent back, he got full marks in many subjects, and the worst score was over 95. Don't you feel ashamed when you take make-up exams and retake classes all the time?"
"Su Zelin hasn't even graduated yet, but he's already become the head of a big company, and he even has a company car. He doesn't have to worry about finding a job anymore. You have to learn from him, be more diplomatic, and know how to talk. Don't just read books like a nerd. You'll never get promoted in the company!"
"… "
Since he entered higher education, Su Zelin has been the talk of Liuzhi Lane and even the entire town almost every holiday.
From being the top scorer in English in the college entrance examination, to driving home in a small car, to this wave of being interviewed on TV.
New Century is getting better and better and has become a well-known chain brand in the province. If one day people find out that Xiao Linzi is the founder and boss of this company, it will definitely cause another big storm in Jianglan.
Although she was once again overwhelmed by Su Zelin's dominance, Qin Shiqing was still very happy for her childhood sweetheart.
Xiao Linzi is still Xiao Linzi, he has always been that genius!
Lijing Community.
Huang Hongbo and his wife and Huang Panpan were also watching the news channel.
Huang Tuhao has the habit of paying attention to the evening news on the provincial TV station, not just for fun. A lot of news is very important to businessmen. You can be aware of Guo Jia's policies and market changes at any time.
Then the family of three also saw the report of New Century’s annual meeting, which of course also included the scene where Su Zelin was interviewed and gave a speech.
"Pan Pan, you, Senior Su, are really amazing. You can even meet the Deputy Governor and have a direct conversation with such a big leader!"
Li Juan found it unbelievable.
No matter how outstanding an early college student is, at most he or she can be good in both character and academics, and can be a student union president or something like that on campus. No one would associate him or her with a corporate executive.
However, Su Zelin became such an outlier.
"Of course, Senior is the most powerful boy in the world!"
Huang Panpan's eyes were twinkling with little stars. When she was a high school scoundrel and was looked down upon, she was a die-hard Su fan.
No matter how other people around her criticized Su Zelin, and some girls even mocked her for having no vision, the junior sister was determined to praise the gangster.
Those of you who look down on seniors, you laugh at me for being short-sighted, and I laugh at you for being short-sighted!
Huang Panpan suddenly felt a little excited about the high school reunion in a few days. She really wanted to see the faces of those girls who had quarreled with her and had a bad relationship with her because of Su Zelin.
"The vice governor was invited to the scene. This is incredible. It shows that the provincial government attaches great importance to New Century. Who knows, there may be policies to strongly support it in the future!"
Compared with the two women, Huang Tuhao has a more far-sighted vision.
The provincial government's attitude shows one thing: it is also optimistic about this new enterprise and believes that it has a promising future and has the potential to receive key support.
If we can win the support of the provincial government, the road ahead in the new century will be easier.
In fact, it is not only television stations that report on the New Century Annual Meeting, but also newspapers and other media.
The media outlets that have had a long-standing cooperative relationship with New Century wrote long soft articles, saying that this was a high-standard annual meeting, that an entire floor of a hotel was booked, that the dinner and party were very grand, that the employees' year-end bonuses and benefits were enviable, and that even the lucky draw was 100% certain to win, with the lowest prize being a red envelope of 100 yuan, not to mention the other computers and mobile phones.
Once the soft article was released, many employees from other companies became jealous and complained that their employers were stingy.
The guest lineup is also very strong, with the highest-ranking person being a deputy provincial governor.
This was a surprise that even Su Zelin didn't expect.
New Century also sent an invitation letter to the government, originally thinking that it would be good enough to have a deputy mayor.
In terms of company size, New Century is not yet qualified to invite leadership guests of this level.
However, the government is very optimistic about this company and attaches great importance to it.
With the arrival of this big shot, the level of the entire annual meeting was invisibly greatly enhanced. The TV station's news reports were even more detailed. After all, with the big shot in person, it couldn't just be a few shots and then disappear.
All in all, this annual meeting can be summed up in two words - appearance!
Due to the continuous advertising bombardment in the past six months, New Century’s popularity in the province has already been quite high.
The annual meeting will give people more insights into this company that has only emerged in recent years.
The ignoring crowd suddenly discovered how powerful this company is. The annual meeting was so grand and the vice-provincial governor personally attended. It is conceivable that it will greatly enhance the image of New Century and bring in more investors with a keen sense of smell to open franchise stores. The 500,000 yuan will be well spent.
…
A few days later, at Dingsheng Building, New Century Headquarters.
Su Zelin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, looking into the distance.
Two and a half years after my rebirth, my career is finally taking shape.
The start may be a little slow in the early stages, but with a foundation, the steps will become bigger and faster.
There is nothing important in Lin'an for the time being, so my mother isn't pushing me too much, but I should go back tomorrow.
Because she hadn't left yet, Nanazi stayed in Lin'an for quite a few more days. She hasn't returned home yet. I guess her family is urging her to go home.
You don’t have to worry about tickets. If it’s too late and you can’t buy train tickets even from scalpers, you can still take a bus or even a plane.
Lin'an's airport was completed and opened to traffic at the end of 2000.
It is still easy to buy plane tickets as there are few people flying at this time and the demand is not high.
Just as Su Zelin was thinking this, his cell phone rang.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
It’s a message from Nanako.
"Squad leader, are you busy?"
"No, I'm done with the company's work!"
"Then can you come back to school earlier so we can go out and play in the evening?"
"Okay, I'll go back now!"
Nana stayed in Lin'an for so long because of me. Everyone has to go home for the New Year tomorrow, so we must make an appointment before that.
After the conversation, Su Zelin immediately drove back to the School of Finance.
I took Nanako out for most of the day, and it was not until ten o'clock in the evening that we decided to find a place to stay.
"Squad leader, let's not go to the hotel tonight."
When the gangster heard Ding Linna say this, he was very surprised.
That's not right. Everyone will have to go back to their own homes and mothers tomorrow. Logically, everyone would want to have a farewell party or something on the last night.
Could it be that Nana's relatives are here
However, even if we can't practice yoga, it would be nice to chat about life, ideals, etc. tonight.
Besides, there is a saying that different paths lead to the same destination.
Teacher Ma told us that there are always ways to solve problems and we should not always limit ourselves to conventional thinking.
"I mean, let's go to my dormitory." Ding Lina smiled and said, "All the girls in our class have gone home, and I'm the only one left. My computer is broken. Class monitor, you can definitely fix it, right?"
Apart from Ding Lina, the girl who went home last in the Finance Management Class 1 was Popcorn, and she and Cai Wensheng from Class 302 both left Lin'an yesterday.
But the boys haven't left yet, so it's not convenient to go to the boys' dormitory.
"Girls' dormitory?"
Su Zelin's eyes lit up.
Then again, in his previous life, he and many of his partners had left traces of love in countless places, but there was no girls’ dormitory in the GPS track.
Repairing the computer was fake, the real thing was Nanako inviting me to spend the night with her.
Maybe she was tired of going to the hotel all day and wanted to try something new.
Normally, boys are not allowed to enter the girls’ dormitory at will, but it is different during the holidays. The dormitory manager doesn’t care. During this period, many boys often go to their girlfriends’ dormitories, and some boys simply don’t go back at night.
"Nana, you've found the right person to repair computers. This is what I'm best at!"
The gangsters all understood it tacitly.
He did it right away and went to the girls' dormitory with Ding Lina.
The entrance was smooth.
The dormitory manager is already asleep and the door is open, so you can just slip in. If you run into her when you leave tomorrow, just say you're here to fix your computer or move your luggage.
The girls' dormitory was dark. Occasionally, I would run into people in the dormitory area, and they were almost always in pairs. If they didn't have boyfriends, few people would stay in school for so long during the winter vacation.
When I arrived at Room 501, Building 2, no one turned on the lights in the entire floor, let alone the Finance Management Class 1.
Opening the door and walking in, Su Zelin was quite curious.
The layout is not much different from the boys' dormitory, except that there are not so many clutters.
"This one is for candy, that one is for popcorn, the one on the upper bunk is Ah Xi..."
Nanazi randomly pointed to each bed and introduced them to Su Zelin.
When he arrived at the bed of the capable young assistant, the gangster couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
The class beauty's bedding had been put away and sealed in a large transparent wax paper bag.
The bedding is also purple.
Well, Axi really likes purple.
The gangster thought secretly.
Seeing his dazed look, Ding Lina misunderstood: "What's the matter, squad leader, you are not interested in A Xi, are you?"
Su Zelin came back to his senses, coughed dryly, and said sternly: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not true, we are just the class monitor and the deputy class monitor!"
"Really?" Nanako chuckled, "I don't think so, squad leader, how about we go to Axi's tonight?"
Su Zelin was shocked.
Damn it, Nanazi, you can actually come up with such a heartless suggestion!
You are so good at having fun, does your best friend know
But I like rice!
…
