Chapter Eighty-Eight: Arrangements and Dinner
In the mid-90s, affected by the bursting of the real estate bubble in the South China Sea, the national housing prices were sluggish, and even the house in the center of Pujiang was only more than 3,000 yuan per square meter, and the cloud city was even lower, the house price was low, and the rent was naturally low, and the rent of this luxurious and finely decorated house was 1000 a month, which was a sky-high price for ordinary people, so it was not rented out for two or three months, and there were few people who even came to see it.

Du Qiu did not see the "beautiful and temperamental" Miss Zhou as the agent said, and only signed a rental contract with an old lady about sixty years old, but before signing the contract, he made a request to replace the lock of the anti-theft door, and the old lady readily agreed, and personally accompanied him to find a locksmith, and after the change, he also took away the old lock carefully, saying that he would change it back after returning the rent, so that everyone could rest assured.
After finishing the work, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, when Du Qiu returned home, he saw that the door of Wang Yong's house on the opposite side was open, Wang Yong's wife held a six-month pregnant belly, and Jiang Danfeng sat in the living room chatting, looking at the familiarity of the two, it seemed that they had been chatting for a while.
"Du Qiu, you're finally back, Danfeng has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
"Mr. Du. ”
Du Qiu looked at Jiang Danfeng, who was a little sluggish, then looked at the suitcase she was dragging, and said, "There is no overtime pay for going to work early." ”
Jiang Danfeng had a premonition that Du Qiu would say some strange things with a cold face, but when he heard it, he didn't feel cold, but felt very warm, because the subtext of this sentence was to take her in, and the originally gloomy mood suddenly improved, so he frowned, drooped the corners of his mouth, made a grimace that wanted to cry, and said, "I know." ”
"Alas, Danfeng, you can really be funny, my family Xiaoya has this expression every time she is wronged, which is funny. Wang Yong's wife's name is Liu Xiaoju, a very warm and cheerful housewife, she supported her waist with one hand, stood up and explained: "Danfeng quarreled with her parents and ran over to your boss, but you were not at home, she stood at the staircase outside and waited, waiting for more than an hour, if I didn't open the door to take out the garbage and see it, I would have to stand for more than an hour to wait for you to come back." ”
"Really?"
After Du Qiu and Mrs. Wang Yong exchanged a few words of gossip, he opened the door of his house, let Jiang Danfeng in, and said, "You can make do with the sofa or study for a day tonight, and I will arrange a place for you to live tomorrow." ”
"Okay. ”
"I'm going to have dinner with Principal Chen in the evening, so you can go over with you, find out that box of cigars, and bring it over as a gift. ”
"Okay. ”
Du Qiu didn't ask Jiang Danfeng why there was a quarrel between her parents, and she didn't say anything, and at about half past five in the evening, Du Chunhua got off work early and picked up Lin Jinyan from the kindergarten, and was a little surprised to see Jiang Danfeng, and after chatting for a while and gossiping, she knew the cause and effect, and immediately turned things around, and made a final judgment, letting Du Qiu go to sleep on the sofa and let the bedroom go to Jiang Danfeng.
"Little brother, you are Danfeng's boss, even if you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, you should be more considerate of your subordinates, so as to improve the morale and loyalty of your employees and work better for you." ”
"I sleep on the sofa and she sleeps in the bedroom, doesn't she lose the majesty of being a boss?"
"This is a home, not a hotel, not an office! Besides, Wu Qi licks the wounds of the wounded soldiers. ”
Chen Zhiyang also invited Du Chunhua in the evening, after she taught Du Qiu a few words, she went to the bedroom to take off the small suit she wore when she went to work, and changed into a loose smock of rock gray, with washed blue jeans, which looked elegant and fashionable, if the house rented in the afternoon refreshed Du Qiu's impression of domestic home decoration in the 90s, then this dress refreshed his impression of domestic popular clothing in the 90s.
Mom, you're really trendy......
This style is not too old-fashioned to get it in 2016......
Jiang Danfeng is the opposite of Du Chunhua, replacing the gorgeous floral long skirt with a business-style windbreaker and skirt, she is tall, her face is round, her facial features are atmospheric, and after her long hair is coiled up, she doesn't look like a little secretary, but more like a big star.
In contrast, Du Qiu's clothing is the most ordinary, which is a three-piece suit commonly used by programmers: a plaid shirt, khaki pants and canvas shoes.
When Su Wenxiu came back at about six o'clock, after Lin Jinyan had someone to take care of, the three of them took a taxi to Sanjiang University, and when they got off the bus at the south gate of the school, they saw Chen Zhiyang's secretary Gao Mingda standing next to an Audi, and he had been waiting for a long time.
The last time Chen Zhiyang visited the company, Du Chunhua saw Gao Mingda once, and said politely: "It's troublesome Secretary Gao, in fact, we don't have to pick it up, we just go over ourselves." ”
"Principal Chen likes to be quiet, and he lives a little out of the way, so I just came out to buy something, so I'll take you there by the way. Gao Mingda looked like he was about 30 years old, with an ordinary appearance, and he shook hands with Du Qiu in a very gentle manner, and said, "Mr. Du, please give me more advice in the future." ”
Snapdragon Software settled down in Cloud City, and it is indispensable to use Chen Zhiyang's social connections, and as the vice principal, he can't do it himself, and he will definitely send a secretary to contact in the middle, so this Gao Mingda is very important, Du Qiu responded with a smile: "Secretary Gao is polite, I am young and ignorant, and I will have to ask Secretary Gao for more help in the future." ”
Gao Mingda and Jiang Danfeng got to know each other again, and then drove the Audi into the campus with the three of them, the geographical environment and area of Sanjiang University are similar to those of Yuncheng University, but the architectural style and landscape design are completely different, one pursues beauty, chic and exquisite, one pursues practicality, the board is rigorous, one plants a lot of flowers and plants on the side of the road, colorful, and one plants a lot of trees on the side of the road, lush.
This difference may not be felt by others, but Du Qiu is a little emotional, because Sanjiang University and Yuncheng University belong to the same city, and there is not much difference in strength, from academics to employment, from leaders to students, he has been in a state of competition and hostility, he has been fighting in Yuncheng University before crossing, but after crossing over, he cooperated with the vice president of Sanjiang University, if those students know, he must scold a traitor.
Chen Zhiyang lives in a villa specially built for school leaders and experts, which looks very low-key from the outside, just an ordinary three-story small building, but only one family lives on each floor, the area is very large, and the living room is especially spacious, even if seven or eight people have a dinner together, it is not crowded at all.
Confucius once said that learning and excellence is the best, the university is excellent and the sea of people are gone, but there are very few people who can enter the official office, Chen Zhiyang can be the vice president, and the ability to communicate with each other is naturally excellent, so the family banquet is not only delicious food, the atmosphere is also excellent, the flowers are full of flowers, the guests and hosts are happy, and the feelings between each other have been quickly enhanced.
"Come on, try this almond snow clam crisp, made by my wife herself, it is an excellent dessert. ”
"Being a guest at President Chen's house today is not only a feast, but also an eye-opener. Du Chunhua looked at the exquisite pastries in the bowl with golden yellow and snow white contrasting with each other, a little reluctant to eat, and said: "I usually think I have good cooking skills, but after seeing Aunt Xue's skills, I don't dare to say that I can cook." ”
"Qiu Ping's ancestors were imperial chefs, and the Suzhou-style pastries she made were unique in the world and enjoyed a high reputation. Chen Zhiyang smiled, patted his wife Xue Qiuping's hand lightly, and said: "I have done a lot of things in my life, but there is only one thing that I am most proud of, that is, I stood out from the thousands of troops and horses back then, was selected in the screen, and married Qiuping to my family." ”
Xue Qiuping is very well maintained, she is 50 years old, but she looks only in her early 40s, and there is still a little bit of youthful charm between her eyebrows and eyes, she enjoys Chen Zhiyang's praise very much, and said with a smile: "If you have time in Chunhua in the future, you can often come to my house to sit, and I will teach you how to make these pastries." ”
"If Principal Chen and Aunt Xue don't think I'm cheeky, I want to come and sit every day and stay up until the meal is over before leaving. ”
Chen Zhiyang stroked his palms and laughed, and said: "Yes, yes, now that Dayou has gone to the United States, Qiuping is bored at home alone, Chunhua, you can come every day, just chat with her and go shopping." ”
After the banquet was dismissed, Du Chunhua and Jiang Danfeng stayed to help Xue Qiuping clean up the leftovers, while Chen Zhiyang took Du Qiu to the study and talked about the company's business.
"Du Qiu, before the financing negotiations, you asked Morgan Stanley to come forward as a representative, they are investment experts, of course it is okay to do this, but China and the United States are different, and domestic business pays attention to human relations, and it is too formal to hurt feelings. If you take some time to come out in the past few days, I will take you to meet with the CEOs of those 6 companies, and everyone will make a difference and enhance their relationship. ”
"Good. ”
"You don't despise them because of the small number of shares in these 6 companies, I don't just pull people over to make up the numbers, each one is a well-thought-out choice of partners, each background is not simple, many times money can't solve the problem, they can solve it in a word. ”
"I know, I won't snub them. ”
"That's good. Chen Zhiyang saw that Du Qiu had a good attitude, so he let go of the topic and talked about the specific affairs of the company: "I have already helped you communicate with the Institute of Quantum Physics, and there is no problem with using their network, but it is a little difficult to rent a house, you only had 6 employees before, which can barely accommodate it, but after the expansion, there are more than 20 people, and there are not so many free dormitories over there." ”
Du Qiu has a good idea of this, and said: "I plan to let employees live in the city at night, go there to work during the day, and use buses to pick up and drop off work, so there is no need for a dormitory, as long as there is a place to work." ”
"If it's just daytime, the institute should be able to solve it. Chen Zhiyang bowed slightly and said: "There are a lot of vacant student dormitories in our school, which can be lent to employees to live temporarily, and then find a better place when there are conditions in the future." ”
It was a pleasure to work with a black-hearted businessman and saved a lot of money......
"That couldn't be better. Seeing that the accommodation was easily solved, Du Qiu asked the question of eating: "Do they agree to partner with their canteen?"
"There is no problem with this, Secretary Gao has already communicated, but the food cost is higher than that of the internal staff of the institute. ”
"The food in their cafeteria is good, and it doesn't matter if it's a little higher. ”
After Chen Zhiyang and Du Qiu talked about the trivial matters of the company for a while, they proposed: "The name of Snapdragon software has been on the People's Daily, and Dayou also said that many foreign experts and professors have a high evaluation of you, and the employees have not come to report these days, you should be relatively free, how about coming to our school to give a technical speech?"
Du Qiu was slightly stunned and said: "It's no problem to give technical speeches, but Sanjiang University can't use the Internet yet, and no one has used the iView browser, so I'm afraid students don't like to listen to it." ”
"Then don't talk about iView, talk about open source software, I think it's a good concept, and students should know more about it. ”
Open source software? What's the point of that......
Browsers will be popularized in China next year at most, and open source software may not be popular in ten years......
