The river is boundless and mighty.

Standing at the head of the Xunyang Yangtze River Bridge, the water vapor of the Yangtze River is blowing in the face, and at a glance, it is all white and boundless, as if there is no edge.

It was still raining lightly, the cars on the bridge were splashing in clumps, passers-by were hurrying, and the hawkers with flat shoulders wore hats, and the rain and sweat ran down their cheeks.

No one would have imagined that just a month later, their peaceful life would be completely shattered.

"Mr. Zhang, three days ago, in order to prevent the impact of the embankment, the Xunyang section of the Yangtze River has announced a ban on navigation, and the three barges can only dock at the Xunyang wharf, and each barge has 5,000 tons of stone transported from Qilu. A young man who looked to be in his twenties and had a baby face reported to Zhang Chen, "I said that this batch of stones was used by the Huhai Galaxy Center, and now it is stuck in Xunyang, and the construction period over there may be affected.

Zhang Chen shook his head: "No need, it's raining every day in Huhai, and the construction site has been delayed a lot, so let's wait for the resumption of shipping, it's not bad for a few days." Dachi, there is a lot of rain this year, and all our projects under construction must put safety first, and we must not allow blind construction in order to rush the construction period. Got it?"

The one who came to Xunyang with Zhang Chen was Mao Dachi, who was originally responsible for the renovation project of Zhang Chen's Houhai Villa.

After the completion of the main body of the villa, Mao Daqi was transferred back to the headquarters of Galaxy Real Estate as a senior manager of the operation department, reporting to Xiang Yang, the operation director brought by Huang Zhirong from Xiangjiang.

After Huang Zhirong stepped down, even if Zhang Chen did not have the heart to connect, he was limited to those ordinary employees, and Xiang Yang, as Huang Zhirong's sworn friend, would of course be wiped out.

A radish is a pit, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and if the old people can't go down, how can there be opportunities for young people? Zhang Chen also learned a lesson this time, paid attention to internal potential, and Mao Dachi's resume ability was the choice of a moment, and he successfully took over the position of director of operations of Galaxy Real Estate.

The president of Galaxy Real Estate is still in the process of selection, and now there are not many domestic commercial real estate talents, and there are even fewer who have the ability to manage the overall situation in Galaxy Real Estate.

To be a trader in commercial real estate, "insight" is more important than ability and marketing.

The residential real estate of later generations, for a long time, is sold after the house is built, no matter what the product is, at most add some foreign elements, and then give a name that sounds lofty, what Yongjing Mansion, Fairview Bay, Champs Elysees and the like, anyway, the house price is rising, do not worry about selling. No matter what you did before, you can insert a foot in the real estate circle and take the land to build a building, the threshold is too low.

But commercial real estate is different, especially high-end commercial real estate, you must at least know what high-end is and what high-end is.

If you know what high-end is, you must have participated in at least four or five high-end commercial projects before you are qualified to run a high-end project in person.

After at least personally operating two or three projects, he has a good grasp of the entire industry format and industry details, and only then can he take over a company like Galaxy Real Estate without going wrong. Otherwise, if you let Grandma Liu build the Grand View Garden, how much money will she give her, she will also have to install a soil kang for the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and she will have to plant a vegetable garden at the door.

Therefore, regardless of whether Zhang Chen is willing or not, the position of president still has to be hired externally.

This time, the net was sized.

At present, the list of presidents of Galaxy Real Estate is Sun Lianmeng, vice president of CapitaLand in Lijiapo, Hiroto Fujita of Mitsui Fudosan and Peter Donovan, cost director of Simon Real Estate in the United States.

Peter Donovan was recommended by Barbara, Donovan is not an American, but Canadian, who has worked and lived in the United States for many years, has worked in many American and Canadian real estate companies, and has no problem with his professional resume and ability.

Peter Donovan is also interested in coming to China to work, he knows that as a Canadian, he has touched the career ceiling in Simon Properties, and it is more difficult to take another step or two than to climb to the sky, so it is better to try his luck overseas.

Moreover, this is a part-time job for the super-rich. As a true North American, Donovan knows far better than the Chinese what the world's richest people represent.

Zhang Chen has a lot of doubts about Peter Donovan, as far as he knows, no Westerner can succeed in the Chinese commercial real estate circle, which is determined by two completely different modes of thinking.

In Zhang Chen's heart, the first choice is still Sun Lianmeng, who is also Chinese. CapitaLand is equivalent to the state-owned enterprise of Lijiapo, and Sun Lianmeng has successively managed two high-end commercial projects of CapitaLand in the mainland, far surpassing the other two competitors in terms of experience and familiarity with the mainland.

Zhang Chen is not worried about another incident similar to Huang Zhirong, he has already figured out how to check and balance the management of Galaxy Real Estate.

It is still a little early to say this, and the most important thing at the moment is still the monstrous flood in front of us.

Zhang Chen and Mao Daqi walked around the embankment several times, and the surface of the embankment was still quite bluffing, the cement was smooth, and it looked extremely solid.

It's a pity it's an empty shelf.

Zhang Chen shook his head slightly and sighed.

————————————————

When I saw Lu Xinyi again, it was already evening.

Along the way, Lu Xinyi consciously kept a distance from Zhang Chen, polite and unfamiliar. Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was also a little strange.

His initial dislike for this girl did not come from the incident of stealing information, but the diamond ring in the other party's hand when he first saw him, and it was this diamond ring that made Zhang Chen suspicious of Lu Xinyi.

People can do wrong things for a variety of reasons, and if they are forced to do so, they are not unforgivable. But if there is original sin in our nature, that's another matter.

Although Zhang Chen does not believe in religion, he still agrees with some views in religion.

For example, the seven deadly sins in Abrahamic monotheism, whether arrogant or jealous, lazy or greedy, are all inherently evil.

In Buddhism, there are also three poisons of greed, hatred, and ignorance, which are actually the same thing.

It's just a spy, and as soon as she got the money, she couldn't wait to buy a luxury item that far exceeded her spending power, which shows how strong and irrational this girl's vanity and materialism are.

People have vanity, and pretending to be forced is to satisfy vanity, but if vanity is strong to this extent, it will be difficult to make people feel good.

By accident, the two had a special relationship on the plane back from Europe, and the first thing Zhang Chen thought of afterwards was to send Lu Xinyi away with money.

Now it seems that although Lu Xinyi is vain, at least she can carry it clearly, and she has not had some unrealistic illusions because of this accidental special relationship between the two.

Moreover, many people around Su Wenjin are full of praise for Lu Xinyi, saying that Lu Xinyi is so beautiful, but her work is very down-to-earth and her ability is strong, which is really rare.

This made Zhang Chen's impression of her a great change.

After all, she is a woman who has had a skin-to-skin relationship with herself, and seeing such a beautiful girl running around alone in the rain for the past two days, Zhang Chen is indeed a little unbearable.

"Xiao Lu, several leaders of Jiangyou have arranged a dinner party in the evening, if there is nothing to do, let's come together. Zhang Chen thought about it and said to Lu Xinyi.

Lu Xinyi was stunned, she didn't expect Zhang Chen to let her go too.

"Nope. Lu Xinyi shook her head, "Don't trouble you, I'll just deal with it at night." ”

Zhang Chen waved his hand: "You're welcome, you are alone, what can you deal with every day, rest assured, no one drinks today." ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Chen realized that something was wrong, and glanced at Lu Xinyi with a little embarrassment and said, "Well, I didn't mean that... If you don't want to go, it's okay to rest at the hotel. ”

Lu Xinyi couldn't see any expression on her face, Zhang Chen thought that she was bored, touched her nose and was about to say something, so she heard Lu Xinyi nod and said, "Okay, I'll go back and change my clothes first, what time will I come down to find you?"

Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's six o'clock, there's still an hour, don't worry, just tell Xiao Lele and Hu Kaixuan when you come down." ”

Zhang Chen also knew that with his current wealth and status, even if he didn't show any kindness to Lu Xinyi, others would not say anything.

After all, this is a society where even student union officials can shout at ordinary students, and many people, as long as they have a little power in their hands, they have no respect for those who they think are inferior to themselves, and treat others like domestic servants, and their faces are really disgusting.

Zhang Chen is not a pure person, and he also disagrees with some concepts of absolute equality, but at least one thing, he treats people as people.

His kindness to Lu Xinyi is only out of treating the other party as a human being like himself.

When Zhang Chen went downstairs, Lu Xinyi was already waiting in the lobby downstairs, and when he saw Lu Xinyi in front of him, Zhang Chen was a little surprised.

After refreshing and changing clothes, Lu Xinyi didn't draw too thick clothes, but just put a thin layer of foundation on her face and a little eyeliner, which was basically nude. Although a lake-green dress is not a big name, it shows off her figure. The bare pair of calves are evenly bone, round and plump.

Compared with Tang Miaomiao, Lu Xinyi is not a beauty at first sight, but she is very attractive, and her non-aggressive appearance is especially pitiful, which is very in line with the aesthetics of a straight man.

Zhang Chen is a straight man.

"Let's go. Zhang Chen calmed down, swallowed his saliva quietly, and got into the car with Lu Xinyi one after the other.

The rear space of the Audi A6 assigned by Xunyang City is not bad, and Lu Xinyi also deliberately kept a distance from Zhang Chen, but the faint body fragrance from her body still made Zhang Chen a little uneasy.

That...... It actually feels pretty good。。。。。。

Zhang Chen couldn't help but recall what happened on the plane that day, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Xinyi.

Zhang Chen must admit that Lu Xinyi's feelings for him, if not counting the psychological bonus of identity, are even better than Britney.

It's a pity that she is a beautiful woman, so why be a thief.

Lu Xinyi kept looking out the window, her cheeks were slightly red, and she didn't know if she had thought of the same thing as Zhang Chen.

A6 drove all the way east along Nanhu Road, and after driving for a short time, it drove into a quiet garden.

The official banquet was naturally arranged at the Xunyang State Guest House, and it was needless to say that the banquet was staggered, Zhang Chen said that he did not drink, but on this occasion, he still drank two or three glasses of red wine, fortunately, everyone is a person with status, and it is a business entertainment, and there is not much to drink.

Everyone didn't know who Lu Xinyi was, but since it was brought by Zhang Chen, naturally they would not slack off, no one really forced Lu Xinyi to drink, but Lu Xinyi herself took the initiative to salute Jiang You's group of leaders a few glasses.

"Brother, yes. Wu Ying squeezed his eyebrows at Zhang Chen in private and said, he was a thief, he had already found that there was a problem with the relationship between these two people, and guessed that Lu Xinyi might be Zhang Chen's new favorite, so he laughed a few words.

This dinner was originally brokered by Wu Ying, Xunyang, as the 25th prefecture-level city to sign a contract with Starcom, has a great influence on the Jiangyou market, even if there is no such thing, Zhang Chen should come to participate in this dinner.

Zhang Chen glanced at Wu Ying: "This is my mother's assistant, I came here for other things, so I happened to come with me on the way." Don't talk about these useless, PHS has only won a municipality directly under the central government, and the prefecture-level city has only won twenty-five, at this rate, the day PHS technology is eliminated, you can't cover the whole Chinese market, and the speed is slow. ”

Wu Ying rolled her eyes, this topic is too blunt, right? But since Zhang Chen asked, and the question was a key question, Wu Ying had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, I know in my heart, by next year at the latest, PHS will definitely be rolled out nationwide." Some time ago, the Ministry of Information Industry was established, and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications was abolished. My side has just dredged up the relationship, and after the argument, I will be able to get a normal business license. ”

Zhang Chen nodded, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

After eating a meal for three hours, after eating, the leaders of Xunyang insisted that Zhang Chen move from the hotel to the guest house, saying that the room had been arranged here. Under the graciousness, Zhang Chen had no choice but to agree.

The affairs of the hotel will naturally be dealt with, although the Xunyang State Guest House covers a large area, divided into several buildings, each building has only two or three floors, many trees in the garden are higher than the building, and a small building is hidden in the shade of the trees.

Exercise before going to bed naturally still has to be done, lifting an iron in the gym for an hour, swimming two laps in the pool, and returning to the room after taking a shower, it is already past eleven o'clock.

People who don't exercise often are easy to get excited when they exercise before going to bed, but this amount of exercise is just normal for Zhang Chen, and it does not affect sleep at all.

"Boom~Woowoo~Whew~" As soon as he fell asleep, Zhang Chen was awakened by a series of muffled noises from afar.

As soon as Zhang Chen turned this thought in his mind, he heard someone shouting outside the courtyard.

"Oh no! Burst! Burst! Everybody go up to the roof!"

Before Zhang Chen could completely react from his sleepiness, there was a dense sound of footsteps in the corridor, and the doors of each room were knocked open by eager knocks.

"Mr. Zhang, hurry, go to the roof. The embankment has burst!"

What?

Isn't it going to take another month for the levee to break?

! Why did I catch up with the embankment again in this life? Did God confiscate me in Xunyang in my previous life, and regret it?

These chapters are more than 4,000 words in two, which is equivalent to the usual two chapters。。。。。。
