School of Finance, faculty and staff dormitory.
Su Zelin came to Vice President Dai's house for dinner again, and Kang Baohong was with him.
"Baohong, I heard that your company has allocated a room for you and Xiaosu. How big is it?"
During the meal, the vice president's wife asked gossipingly.
"The boss, I, and Mr. Yang were all assigned to the management apartment in Building A. It's over 170 square meters, with two living rooms and five bedrooms."
Kang Baohong grinned.
This is his second house.
Before he got involved with Su Zelin, buying a house in Lin'an was a luxury dream. He never thought that he would own two houses in the provincial capital, both of which were of considerable size, and the second one was free.
Moreover, as long as you want, you can buy a third, fourth, or even more sets.
Kang Baohong also had original shares of New Century, which were given to him by Su Zelin. Although it was only 5%, it was enough to make him a billionaire.
According to New Century's current market valuation, his shares are already worth hundreds of millions. Even if he doesn't sell them, the annual dividends, plus the general manager's salary and bonuses are also considerable. Kang Baohong is now definitely a high-income earner.
"It's over 170 square meters. It's so big. Our old staff dormitory is only over 120 square meters. Your company's benefits are really good!"
It was hard to tell whether Kang Yulian's tone expressed envy or happiness for her nephew.
"Aunt, of course. If the employees have better benefits, they will be more motivated to work and create more value for the company. Just like when New Century first entered the national market, and recently launched the Thousand Counties Plan, we often need to work overtime, but no one complains."
Kang Baohong was shoveling rice into his mouth desperately, like a starving ghost reincarnated.
If Kang Yulian hadn't asked him and Su Zelin to come over for dinner today, he would have been working overtime at the company after get off work or going on a business trip, and would have had to go back to deal with a lot of things after dinner.
"Baohong, you are not young anymore. You are now the small boss and general manager of New Century. Your career is very successful. You have to think about your life. Your father called me yesterday and said he hopes to have a grandson soon. But you haven't even had a girlfriend yet. How long do you have to wait?"
The vice president's wife got to the point, which was the real purpose of why he asked Kang Baohong to come over for dinner tonight.
Her brother, who is also her nephew's father, asked her to help lobby.
Kang Baohong's family is from the countryside. Rural people have somewhat feudal ideas. Many people hope that their children can have children and grandchildren as soon as possible. However, seeing that Kang Baohong has not made any progress for so long, his father became anxious. Every time he called his son to talk about this, his reply was: "I am busy with work, I don't have time!"
"Aunt, why are you acting as my father's lobbyist?"
Kang Baohong put down his chopsticks and said depressedly: "Our company is doing very well in the national market. It's time to seize the opportunity. How can I have time to fall in love now?"
Since entering the new century, all his enthusiasm and energy have been invested in his career. He has never considered a girlfriend, and he acts as if a woman will only slow down his sword-drawing speed.
"There is no conflict between career and love. There is a saying that goes, behind every successful man, there is a woman who silently supports him! As long as you find a virtuous wife, not only will it not affect your work, but it can also become your motivation, so that you don't have to worry about your career!"
After saying this, the vice president's wife winked at her lover, asking him to help say a few words.
So Dai Chuangxing also spoke slowly: "Baohong, your aunt's words make sense. There are many examples of people who have both career and love. For example, Xiao Su has managed the two very well."
The old couple had wanted to introduce a girlfriend to Su Zelin before, but was rejected. Hunzi told them that he already had a girlfriend and they were in a good relationship.
"Uncle, the eldest brother is different. Others and their girlfriends are childhood sweethearts. They have known each other for a long time and have a deep emotional foundation. If I just find a girlfriend randomly and know nothing about her, I'm afraid she will become a burden to my career."
Kang Baohong argued with reason.
For him, career is more important than anything else. Every time he sees New Century in the news or its market value increases, he can be happy for a long time. However, he has no interest in falling in love.
"Don't worry about this. Your uncle and I will check for you. We will definitely find a girl who is both pretty and has good character. For example, your uncle's classmate, Chu Jie, the daughter of Chu Junyi, the head of the Drug Administration, is two years younger than you. After graduation, she also worked at the Drug Administration. The girl is beautiful, gentle, and a lady from a wealthy family. I think she is a good match for you!"
Kang Yulian highly recommends it.
A few years ago, she would definitely not dare to be the matchmaker.
Because at that time Kang Baohong was still a migrant worker from the countryside, he was not worthy of her.
But now it’s different. With my status as a nephew, I can easily find a job with a higher threshold in the provincial capital.
Kang Baohong was unmoved: "The leader's daughter? I think we should forget it. Women like this usually have the temper of little princesses. We can't afford to serve them!"
Even though he was rich, he had never thought of marrying a beautiful, rich and pretty woman. Instead, he felt that a woman who could live a down-to-earth life with him, was hardworking, and filial to her parents would be better, at least she would not cause him trouble.
Kang Yulian frowned: "You haven't met her, how do you know her little princess' temper? This is called conjecture. How about this, I will arrange for both sides to meet each other and see if it is suitable?"
Kang Baohong was about to say something when Su Zelin spoke up: "Baohong, since your aunt means so well, you should go and have a look. If it's not suitable, then we can just be friends. There's nothing to lose, right? It's time for you to start a family and build a career at your age. If you don't have a girlfriend, your dad will probably blame me for bringing you on board and delaying your lifelong event."
"Look at what you said, Boss. How is this possible? My father can't thank you enough."
Kang Baohong couldn't help but feel ashamed.
If it weren’t for Su Zelin, I might still be a worker and would not have achieved what I have today.
"Okay, I'll go then!"
Although he was still a little reluctant, Kang Baohong nodded this time.
Su Zelin was the person he respected the most, and he would listen to whatever Su Zelin said, even if it was his own private matter.
Kang Yulian thought that a hundred words she said would not be as good as one word from Xiao Su. If she had known this would happen, she would have asked Xiao Su to come forward to help persuade her, and she wouldn't have to waste her breath.
"Auntie, you don't have to worry. Regardless of whether the person you are dating this time is suitable or not, with Baohong's conditions, it is still easy for him to find a wife. There are many female employees in our company who admire him, which can flatten the door for him."
Su Zelin half-jokingly played the role of kneading the dough.
"Haha, actually we are not in a hurry. It's just that his father is always worried. We have to give him an explanation. Come on, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat."
Since Kang Baohong had already agreed, the vice president's wife no longer bothered about her nephew's blind date.
…
A month later, Yang Fen suddenly discovered something strange.
Kang Baohong suddenly seemed like a different person. He always had a smile on his face, worked tirelessly and energetically, and paid more attention to his manners and dress. Today he even wore a slightly sexy pink shirt, and he seemed to be a few years younger.
"What happened to Baohong?"
Brother Xiao Yang couldn't help but ask.
Kang Baohong must have had something good happen to him to be in this mental state.
Although the relationship between the three giants of New Century is very harmonious, after all, they have worked together for this company for so many years, but Kang Baohong and Su Zelin are closer. After all, it was the latter who dug them up, so Su Zelin may know more about some things that Kang Baohong does not know.
"A few days ago, Aunt Baohong asked him to go on a blind date, and it seems that both parties are quite satisfied."
Su Zelin revealed the secret in one sentence.
Kang Baohong never told him the result of the blind date, but he felt that he could guess it almost accurately.
"Hey, Baohong is in love too!"
Brother Yang became interested as soon as he heard it.
Among the three, he already has a wife and children, Su Zelin's girlfriend works in the company, and only Kang Baohong's love life is still unsettled.
"Baohong, was the blind date successful?"
Brother Yang even specially called Kang Baohong over to ask about the gossip.
"Haha, she's OK. We've been together several times. She's a nice person."
Kang Baohong's smile was so bright, and the happiness of being in love seemed to be about to burst out.
He was originally worried that the girl was a little princess, but he was proved wrong.
Not all daughters of leaders are so difficult to please. His blind date Chu Jie is really as gentle and generous as his aunt Kang Yulian said. Kang Baohong originally planned to be perfunctory and leave after the blind date, but he didn't expect to fall in love with her at once. He left his contact information and later made several appointments with her.
Of course, his current status is also very important. If he doesn't have a career foundation, as a poor boy, he can't make a living by relying on his looks, figure and personal charm like Su Zelin, so it's unrealistic for other ladies to be attracted to him.
"Sure, I'm worried that you'll only think about your career and not talk about a girlfriend. I don't know when I can drink this glass of wedding wine!"
Brother Xiao Yang was also happy for him.
"Since it's a good match, strike while the iron is hot and date her more often. It's important for a man to work hard outside, but starting a family is also a major event in life. Don't just think about the company all the time. You have to have a private life once in a while."
Su Zelin also spoke at the right time.
"Yes, I know. I have made an appointment with her for dinner tonight."
Kang Baohong nodded vigorously.
"After dinner?"
Su Zelin asked.
"After dinner?" Kang Baohong was startled: "Send her home."
"That's it?" Su Zelin was a little speechless: "It was like this several times before?"
"yes."
Kang Baohong nodded.
Su Zelin thought to himself that you are such a fool. How can you have a meal on a date? You said that you were not familiar with each other the first time, so it's ok to send someone home after the meal. It's easier said than done. And you have to have a meal every time. How can there be any progress
"You can't just eat. There's still so much time after dinner. You can ask someone to watch a movie, or go for a walk or something. It's not wrong to send flowers."
Teacher Su gave guidance in an expert tone.
When it comes to relationships, Kang Baohong is a complete rookie and needs guidance from an expert.
"Send flowers. We've only known each other for less than a month. Isn't it too fast?"
Kang Baohong was a little confused.
"If you think sending flowers is too sudden, then don't be too deliberate. For example, you can go to the town square and hang out there. There are many girls who come from poor families and are still studying, but they sell flowers at night to reduce the burden on their families. You can help buy a bouquet of flowers. This way, sending flowers will be very natural, and the girl will most likely not refuse, and will think you are a caring person."
Su Zelin gave him a suggestion.
“Master!”
Kang Baohong gave a thumbs up.
“You can have this!”
Kang Baohong's eyes lit up: "I'll try it tonight, I hope it will succeed!"
"It will definitely work, I said!"
Su Zelin transformed into Su Banxian and made a prediction.
In fact, the result is obvious.
If Chu Jie had no interest in Kang Baohong, she would have found an excuse to turn down the second date and would not have dated him so many times. Her advice was just icing on the cake to make their relationship heat up faster.
After get off work, Su Zelin did not go home because he had a dinner party.
Some time ago, I asked a few city leaders to help me with some things. Although the higher-ups have already regarded New Century as the godson of Zhejiang Province and have been training it with even greater efforts than some of the state-owned enterprises that are their own sons, most of the time it is convenient for them to do things. However, I still have to treat others to a meal or something. After all, Xia Country is a society based on personal relationships.
Let's go to Pinweiju and ask Zhang Yuanhang to prepare some hard goods. Of course, drinks are also indispensable, because no party is complete without wine.
He was already very familiar with these people. The meal lasted more than two hours. He drank a few bottles of Feitian Moutai. After walking out of the restaurant and seeing the leaders off to the car, Su Zelin's forehead was already a little hot and he felt dizzy.
"Brother Ze, do you want to find another place to have some fun?"
Zhang Yuanhang chased out and asked.
After getting on the big tree of Su Zelin, things have been very smooth for this kid.
Not to mention anything else, just your network of contacts will be greatly improved.
Su Zelin often brings some important people to Pinweiju for dinner. Through his connections, Zhang Yuanhang can also become familiar with it.
"No, some other time!"
Hunzi's alcohol tolerance is good, but there is still a big gap between him and Ding Lina. He drank at least one and a half kilograms of Moutai tonight, and he has almost finished it, approaching his limit.
"Okay, I'll make an appointment with you another day!"
Zhang Yuanhang could also see that Su Zelin's condition was almost the same, so he called a younger brother and threw him the key to his new Honda Accord: "A Biao, drive my car to take Brother Ze back!"
Every time there was a dinner party where he had to drink, Su Zelin would not drive. Perhaps it was a habit brought about by the strict penalties for drunk driving in later traffic regulations, and it was also for his own safety. In fact, the company also had a full-time driver, but Su Zelin was too lazy to bring one. It was convenient to take a taxi anyway. Besides, every time after dinner at Pinweiju, Master Zhang was very sensible and would ask someone to take him back.
"Yes, Brother Ze, please wait a moment, I'll drive the car over right away!"
I took the order and left.
Not long after, a brand new black Honda Accord drove up to Su Zelin.
"Brother Ze, take care!"
Watching Su Zelin sitting in the back seat, Zhang Yuanhang still had a flattering smile on his face. Although they were former competitors, this guy now completely regards himself as Su Zelin's younger brother.
I know the rental car driver very well and have driven him there several times, so he knows the driver well without me having to tell him.
Su Zelin lowered the car window, and the evening breeze made his head a little clearer. He took out his cell phone to check the time and noticed the date: August 27th.
There was a sudden movement in my heart, as if I remembered something.
Yan Qiuwen's birthday according to the new calendar seems to be August 29th, but Lin'an is accustomed to the lunar calendar, so it should be very recent, and may have already passed, or may not have passed yet.
Turn the calendar forward twenty years and compare it with the lunar calendar.
Upon closer look, Su Zelin discovered that it was such a coincidence that Yan Qiuwen’s lunar birthday was today!
The female military advisor never mentioned it and didn't invite anyone.
She was a very quiet girl and regarded celebrating her birthday as a hassle. Qin Shiqing also said that Yan Qiuwen had never celebrated her birthday with anyone in her four years in college, and even as her roommate, she didn't know when the other person's birthday was.
Su Zelin also learned about Yan Qiuwen's birthday from her file. That year, she came to New Century with a lot of certificates to apply for an internship, and specifically wanted to work in the operations department. The human resources department didn't know what position to assign her, so they came with her file to ask Hunzi for his opinion. Su Zelin wrote it down at that time, as he has always had a good memory.
August 29th belongs to Virgo.
As we all know, the biggest character trait of Virgo is the pursuit of perfection. This type of people are born perfectionists and are almost stubborn in this regard. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as nitpicking. They pay great attention to details. No matter what the matter is, as long as they insist on doing it, they will demand themselves to do it to the extreme.
Virgos are usually very intelligent, so never try to play tricks on them.
At the same time, Virgos are more mature and stable than their peers. They are reliable and never give up easily. They give people a sense of wisdom and intellect, and often give people a perfect impression. Their active thinking and rational and calm mind enable Virgos to accomplish things perfectly. No matter how difficult the task is, there will be no problem if you give it to Virgo.
Many Virgos are also mysophobic and cannot tolerate any dirt or mess. They are unwilling to eat unhealthy food and even refuse to go to public swimming pools.
Although the theory of astrology has no scientific basis, in fact, Hunzi himself does not believe in it. The reason why he is so familiar with the theory of astrology is that many girls like it and it is easy to pick up girls if he is familiar with it.
But when you compare Hunzi with Yan Qiuwen, hey, you know what, he does have a bit of a Virgo vibe.
Usually Qiuwen doesn’t like to celebrate her birthday with friends. She thinks it is troublesome and would rather stay quietly in her own world.
However, Su Zelin felt that the main reason was that she did not regard other people as her "kind", including Qin Shiqing. They lacked common topics and were unable to exchange and communicate spiritually.
Virgos seem very cold, with an aloof and strong appearance, but in fact it is just a way to cover up their inner loneliness.
Only if she truly recognizes you will she treat you as a good friend, be willing to tell you her true feelings, and show her unknown side in front of you.
Su Zelin hesitated for a moment, then made a decision: "A Biao, send me to Xihu District first!"
