Three days later, the first Xia Guochao Show ended, which caused quite a stir among fans.
Although it cannot be compared with traditional fashion shows abroad, considering that this is the first fashion show held by the domestic trendy people, its level is already remarkable and worthy of recognition, and we cannot expect too much.
Of course, a fashion show alone cannot completely transform the Chaozu brand. It can only improve its image and popularity to a certain extent. This is also the path to the rise of many big brands. You have to take one step at a time and don't dream of eating a fat man in one bite.
In comparison, Nanako's popularity in the circle has skyrocketed.
Whether speaking as a founder or walking on stage as a model, Nanako's performance on the show was outstanding.
Such a young girl founded her own brand right after graduating from university. While other people of the same age were getting stable jobs in companies or working in private enterprises, she took a different path and lived the life imagined by many trendsetters who yearn to be different.
Moreover, this girl is very beautiful, independent and has a strong personality.
Therefore, it was easy for her to become the idol of this group.
After the fashion show, Nana seems to be sought after by thousands of people. Any post she makes on the forum will get a lot of responses, which shows how popular she is.
In addition, the Qilu girl also became the protagonist of the class group chat during this period.
Naitang: "Nana, I saw the video of the trendy show held by your company. You are so stylish and cool, just like the domineering female CEO in the pocket novel [holding face]"
Single noble: "I didn't expect that in addition to the eldest brother, there is also a talent like Nanako in our class. Nanako was simply buried in college [smile]"
Sakura no Hanami: "It's okay, there are many people who achieve success late in life, not to mention that Nanako is still young!"
Nanako: "You all flatter me. How can I be so amazing? [covering her mouth]"
Lao Hou: "Nana, please stop being so modest. By the way, it seems that the boss has invested in your company. Is that true?"
Nanako: “Well, that’s true.”
Lao Hou: "Boss, you have a sharp eye [thumbs-up]"
Future Lieder Tycoon: "That's not true. Our Third Brother knew that Nanako would be a great man [Silver Smile]"
Chenxi Weiliang: "I envy Nanako so much. I hope I can live like her in the future, but I don't know how long I have to work hard [crying]"
"Oh my god, Ah Xi, you also want to start your own business. If you succeed, then our class will have another strong woman. How will we men feel?"
"… "
During off-get off work hours, university class group chats are always lively.
Su Zelin was actually also watching the chat group in front of the computer, but this time he just acted like a quiet submarine, watching without saying a word.
He didn't turn off QQ and his computer until Qin Shiqing walked into the office.
After graduation, Nanako's popularity overshadowed everyone except herself, even A-Xi was eclipsed. This was something that those college classmates had never thought of before.
…
In late July, the new century ushered in two good news.
The first one is that the first office building of the new headquarters was successfully delivered.
However, the engineering team has only completed the task on schedule and has not yet been officially put into use.
After all, the engineering team has only completed the theme and exterior decoration, and the interior is just rough. It will take some time to renovate, but it is expected to be moved in before the end of the year, ending the days of renting an office in Dingsheng Building.
The second good news is what makes the old employees most excited.
The first batch of staff apartments were completed, with a total of more than 500 units. In addition to important management, the main recipients of the purchase quota were old employees of the headquarters.
This type of apartment is a corporate collective housing. The company cooperates with the bank to provide ultra-low down payment loan plans so that every qualified old employee can afford a house.
Su Zelin doesn't need to buy one. He is the boss and senior executive of the company, so he can be directly allocated an apartment. The same goes for Xiao Yangge and Kang Baohong, but the latter two have already bought houses outside.
Managers of various departments and those in some important special positions can receive housing purchase subsidies from the company, such as exemption from the down payment and only need to make subsequent mortgage payments.
Song Yuwei also got such a special position and was promoted to deputy director of the operations department. She is also considered a member of the management team.
Although I already have a house in West Lake Impression Fengyue, how could I miss this great value employee apartment? The price is low and the company will also help with the down payment. Besides, it is undoubtedly more convenient to commute to work in the employee apartment. For example, I don’t have to take a nap in the office during lunch break, I can go back to the apartment and have a good sleep.
Of course, there are some conditions for buying employee apartments. In addition to identity and qualifications, you must also sign a lifelong labor contract with the company. This long-term contract will bind the employees until they retire in the new century. After all, the company cannot let you change jobs just a few years after buying a house, otherwise the benefit will be given in vain.
This type of labor contract is legal, provided that the company and the employee reach an agreement and both parties are willing, and there is no deception or deception involved.
Few employees are willing to sign such contracts. After all, from working to retirement for decades, many people may face better opportunities and choose to change jobs.
However, almost all New Century employees who were given the quota to buy a house signed it. The company's employee apartments were such a great value, nearly half the price of houses of the same location and grade on the market, which could save hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was a great benefit that was hard to resist.
The old employees are all very clear that this company not only has a bright development prospect, but is also quite generous, with good treatment, high bonuses, and fast salary increases. Taking into account various factors such as the team atmosphere and the future work and living environment at the headquarters, it is really not easy to find a more suitable company.
Therefore, there are very few people willing to give up this quota. If you are unwilling to sign, there are a lot of people scrambling to fill your spot.
Apart from the Big Three, there is only one exception who does not have to sign this lifetime contract.
"Qiu Wen, this is the property contract for the staff apartment. Please take a look at it."
Su Zelin walked into Yan Qiuwen's office and handed her a contract.
"oh!"
Although Yan Qiuwen was not active in the company, the issue of employee apartment subscription was the most discussed hot topic recently, so she had naturally heard about it.
"I don't plan to sign a long-term contract because I can't guarantee how long I will stay in the company!"
Yan Qiuwen said lightly before looking at the real estate contract.
"It doesn't matter. You don't have to sign or even pay for the house, because this house is given to you for free."
Su Zelin smiled.
The female military advisor's identity is very special. Strictly speaking, she does not belong to the management. However, her importance to the company even exceeds that of some department heads, so Su Zelin directly gave her a house for free.
He had also anticipated Yan Qiuwen's statement.
Such a genius will not give up his freedom for a house.
If you want to keep her, a long-term contract is useless, you need sincerity.
Yan Qiuwen was a little surprised: "You should know that I may leave the company at any time."
"Haha, it's okay, Qiuwen. In the one year or so since you joined the company, the value you have created for the company is more than a few hundred houses like this. If one day you really want to resign, this house will still be yours, and I will thank you for everything you have done for the company during this time!"
The gangster acted very generous.
It's just a house, what's the big deal
If Yan Qiuwen is willing to stay, there is no harm in buying her eight or ten sets of houses with my own money.
"Of course, I certainly don't want this to happen."
Su Zelin shrugged.
"What would you do if I really quit my job someday?"
The female military advisor suddenly raised a question.
"I would be reluctant to do so."
Su Zelin touched his nose.
"Why? Because you lost a talent who created value for the company, or a wingman who helped persuade Qin Shiqing to accept your romantic and philandering heart?"
Yan Qiuwen's words are sharp.
"Well, it's both!"
The bastard confessed it.
It is extremely difficult to fool Yan Qiuwen.
After a pause, he changed his tone: "But, besides this, there is another reason!"
"What's the reason?"
Yan Qiuwen asked.
"It's a great pleasure to have a friend who understands you. Sometimes it's actually quite lonely when a person is too smart."
Su Zelin sighed.
This kind of loneliness does not mean having no friends.
The gangster is very popular and has many friends.
But apart from Yan Qiuwen, no one really understands me completely, including Qin Shiqing, who grew up with me. She is not the one who understands me best. My childhood sweetheart understands my personality and hobbies, but she does not really understand my inner world.
Not to mention others.
Only Yan Qiuwen and I have an indescribable understanding. It is a tacit understanding between geniuses, and we are in tune with each other.
Therefore, Su Zelin was willing to confide even the most troubling and private matters to Yan Qiuwen, but the person he would confide in would not be Qin Shiqing, nor would he be his good friend Lu Haoran.
Yan Qiuwen was silent.
She understood this kind of loneliness because she had also been very lonely and couldn't find anyone to talk to. It was because of this that she chose to come to New Century for an internship and become a full-time employee after the internship because there was a person here, Su Zelin, who understood her.
After a while, she opened the real estate contract and signed her name on the last page with a fountain pen.
Seeing this, the gangster breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
As long as Qiu Wen is willing to sign, she will definitely not leave New Century in the short term. Not for too long, but at least not until the company completely captures the national market. If she really wants to leave, it will be after that.
After signing, Yan Qiuwen suddenly asked, "When are you free, let's go play tennis together?"
Su Zelin couldn't help but be stunned.
In fact, since the first time he played tennis with Yan Qiuwen, Hunzi had been urging her to exercise and would ask her out at least once or twice a month.
However, Yan Qiuwen was always the passive one every time, and it was rare for her to take the initiative to ask me out.
It seems that the apartment I gave away did have some effect.
Sincerity is important!
"Okay, anytime is fine, but playing tennis all the time is boring. Why don't we go swimming some other day while the weather is still hot?"
Su Zelin chuckled.
By the way, I haven’t seen Yan Qiuwen in a swimsuit yet, it should be quite exciting.
“No!”
Yan Qiuwen flatly refused.
"Swimming pool water should be disinfected with bleach regularly. Chlorine-containing bleach will make the pool water alkaline. Normal conjunctiva is more adapted to an acidic environment. After contact with alkaline pool water, the acid-base balance is disrupted, and the disease resistance will decrease. Bacteria in the pool water take the opportunity to enter the eyes, which can easily cause conjunctivitis."
"There are many pathogens in the swimming pool, such as E. coli and Cryptosporidium. If you accidentally drink the water from the swimming pool, it may cause diarrhea or even intestinal diseases!"
"In addition, among the skin diseases caused by unsanitary swimming pools, there are quite a few patients suffering from the three major types of skin diseases, fungal skin diseases, molluscum contagiosum, and plantar warts!"
"… "
Su Zelin: “…”
Well, Baidu Encyclopedia is online again.
Qin Shiqing did not get a quota for staff housing. Although she was at a high level in the company, she was not in management and was not a long-time employee. Su Zelin did not use any backdoor channels for his girlfriend, but he was not in a hurry. Anyway, he already had an apartment to live in.
Even if there are two sets of houses, given their current cohabitation relationship, Qin Shiqing would not live in the other one unless she has nothing to do.
Besides, the staff apartments will continue to be built, and she will definitely have one in the future, just a little later.
In the evening, when Lu Haoran and Xiao Yanzi came over for dinner, Qin Shiqing told them about this matter.
Although they had known for a long time that New Century was building staff housing, and Su Zelin's position made it a foregone conclusion that he would be allocated one, the couple were still a little sad to hear the news.
After all, we have been good friends since high school. After graduation, we started to contact more frequently because we rented a house. Those days were pretty good.
Xiaoyanzi put down her chopsticks and lost her appetite instantly: "Shiqing, so you and Su Zelin are going to move out soon?"
"Not so fast, it will take some time to renovate, and it will take at least two or three months to move in. During this period, we still have to rent a house. Besides, aren't you and Haozi planning to buy a house by the end of the year? Even if we don't move, you will have to move out sooner or later."
Qin Shiqing comforted her best friend.
"That's right!"
Little Swallow nodded.
She has been saving for a down payment on a house, and estimates that by the end of the year, with her own money and that of her boyfriend, and some support from both families, the money will be enough.
When I buy a new house and renovate it, I will naturally have to give up the rental house here. I can't waste this money in vain.
The honest man sighed: "It would be great if you could buy another house outside so that we can live in the same neighborhood again!"
"Mouse, don't tell me, I really have this plan."
Su Zelin picked up a piece of fried pork belly and put it into his mouth, mumbling while eating.
"Really?"
The other three were all cheered up.
Not to mention Xiaoyanzi and Lu Haoran, even Qin Shiqing had never heard of Su Zelin's plan to buy a second house.
"Staff housing is only for convenience of commuting. If you want to live comfortably, it's better to go to high-end buildings outside."
Su Zelin explained casually: "So you can consider it when the time comes, hehe."
Of course, a staff apartment could not satisfy Su Zelin.
He has never bought a house outside. In fact, he is just waiting for his good friend and his wife to move in together.
The staff housing is mainly used for lunch break or when working overtime until late. For example, Yang Fen and Kang Baohong also have staff housing, but they still drive back to their homes at night.
"That's great! It's settled now. We can be neighbors again. It will be so much fun with four of us!"
Xiaoyanzi's mood suddenly improved.
Since Su Zelin said this, he is most likely going to buy a house outside.
For a guy like him, a house is just a piece of cake.
