Ruicheng Jade Building, founded in 1889, was once the family heirloom library of a great writer surnamed Sun in modern times. Covers an area of more than 8,000 square meters, the pavilions and pavilions in it are readily available, plus surrounded by water on three sides, there is a lotus pond in the courtyard, there is quite a trace of the beauty of the classical garden of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, Chen Hao wanted to rent this place as the new store address of [the world's first fresh], but it was just his whim.

The jade building is one of the four major library buildings in Jiang Province. In addition, with the sign of the national key cultural relics protection unit, who dares to use power for personal gain in this minefield and lease the ancient buildings of the Jade Tower for illegal profit, it is purely the old birthday star who eats arsenic and lives for a long time!

"You can't rent this jade building, it should be no problem to rent the old house next to it. Chen Hao climbed into a small two-story attic, and the wooden planks under his feet were "creaking".

Looking east through the wooden window of the small attic, several old-fashioned residential buildings with bedding and clothes caught Chen Hao's eyes.

The style of these old-fashioned residential buildings is actually the same as the ancient cultural building of Yulou, which is some antique buildings that are old.

When the specific cultural relics protection units were demarcated, the surrounding old houses were demolished. Most of the things that can be taken away are used to develop real estate. The remaining few old mansions next to the jade building, because the property rights are in the hands of the common people, and there are people living in them, they are simply left to fend for themselves.

In addition, most of the buildings in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River have the characteristics of passing through the halls and alleys.

These old mansions are only a distance away from the "Jade Building", and as soon as the back door of the side wall is opened, you can enter and exit the Jade Building unimpeded. Therefore, it is understandable that Chen Hao will focus on these old mansions.

It's just that the thought of how to persuade the stationmaster of the cultural relics protection station of the "Jade Building" to open the backyard door between the old mansion and the Jade Building made Chen Hao a little difficult.

After all, they are state officials with iron rice bowls, and they can't find a side with a businessman like Chen Hao.

"Huh?"

"Are you...... Chen Hao!"

Just as Chen Hao was anxiously picking his ears and scratching his cheeks, he kept wandering around outside the office of the Yulou Cultural Relics Protection Station. A young woman in a navy blue uniform with a bright red work sign on her chest stopped him.

Chen Hao turned his head and found that this young girl was a little familiar.

It's just that it may be because he hasn't been in touch for many years, coupled with the change in the appearance of the eighteenth female college student, Chen Hao didn't think of the other party's name for a while, but just squeaked a few words, and a pair of eyes were alertly aimed at the other party's badge.

"Are you Zhu Lingling?"

"Our 4th class study committee?" Chen Hao looked at the name on the other party's work card, and thought of a little girl in high school.

"Yes!"

"I haven't seen you for years, you won't even forget about me as a classmate, will you?" Zhu Lingling generously stroked the oblique bangs in front of her forehead, and said with a hint of red smile.

"Uh...... It's true that I haven't seen each other for too long, and I almost didn't recognize it......" Chen Hao scratched his head, and squeezed out a wry smile a little embarrassed.

Because of the time he graduated from high school, Chen Hao went to the imperial capital to go to college. Four years of college plus two years of North Drifting experience made him almost cut off contact with his high school classmates in Ruicheng.

Although I see someone bubbling in the class group every year, Chen Hao has never been to a real high school class party.

It's just that when he thought of the inconspicuous female nerds in the former class, now they are all so staggered, Chen Hao still couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Society is really a big dye vat." ”

"By the way, Chen Hao, why are you here in the Jade Tower? Zhu Lingling asked with a puzzled face.

"Uh...... to inspect the ...... of the business What about you? Are you working here?" Chen Hao scratched his head and replied shyly.

"Came to the Jade Tower to inspect business?"

"Are you planning to open a store in Ruicheng Harbor?"

"Go over there to open a store, why did you come to our Jade Building to investigate?"

Zhu Lingling was stunned for a moment, then pointed to a corner of the photo wall outside the office and said, "I am now a staff member of the cultural relics protection station here, and I was recruited two years ago. ”

"Clerk?"

"In this way, you are a civil servant who has been admitted!" Chen Hao frowned, and looked at the wall along Zhu Lingling's fingers. Sure enough, the other party's round ID photo was hanging in the square of the staff on duty.

What surprised Chen Hao even more was that the title on the photo wall indicated that this old high school classmate who had not seen him for 6 years had actually become the deputy director of this cultural relics protection station!

"No wonder I've been promoted to a section member!"

"I remember taking the civil service exam, and when I first entered the unit, I usually started from the deputy department. Chen Hao touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

However, it took only two years to move up one level within the civil service system. This high school study committee member who has not seen him for 6 years must still have a good background and ability.

As soon as he thought that he might have to ask the other party for a while, Chen Hao couldn't help but greet the other party for a while.

Of course, old classmates who have been reunited after a long absence, naturally have endless gossip. For example, I mentioned that a certain class girl in class 4 of high school had married a rich second generation in Wenshi two years ago, and I heard that even two children were born.

and a certain teacher in high school, due to the bankruptcy of his family, was chased to the school by a debt collector to ask for debts, and Chen Hao was even more uncomfortable.

However, when talking about Chen Hao's plan to open a high-end restaurant next to the Jade Building, Zhu Lingling's beautiful eyes lit up for a while, as if she had discovered a novel continent, and began to look at Chen Hao, an old classmate who had not seen him for 6 years.

Because Zhu Lingling remembered that in the 4th class of high school, the female classmates in the class took turns gossiping about all the boys in the class. A boy like Chen Hao, who is tall and middle-looking, is the focus of female classmates.

But later I heard that Chen Hao's family was just from the countryside, and he didn't even have a decent set of real estate in Ruicheng, and many female classmates who had high requirements for appearance began to ignore Chen Hao.

No, the high school reunion has been held 3 or 4 times, but I didn't invite Chen Hao, the handsome guy in the class, to go once. One can imagine how realistic this group of high school girls is in the circle.

"Chen Hao, you mean...... Do you want to open the side door of our jade building and lead to the courtyard of the old house next door?" Zhu Lingling asked thoughtfully.

"Well, that's probably what it means. ”

Chen Hao nodded, and then threw out the price code in his heart and said, "But don't worry, I definitely won't let the Jade Building open it to my guests for free." As long as your cultural relics protection station agrees to open this side door, I can provide a financial donation of one million yuan to the Jade Tower every year, which can be regarded as a contribution to the protection of cultural relics in Ruicheng. ”
