Confession of Rebirth

"Gu Chen, I heard you moved the dormitory?"

Coming out of Professor Xing's office, Gu Chen first went to the supervisor's office to ask for a leave of absence.The counselor's surname is Zhang and his name is Zhang Xinyang.I don't have much contact with Gu Chen, but I have dealt with Gu Chen's two original roommates a lot, and I often listen to their small reports.

——Usually it was trivial things like Gu Chen going back to bed too late and affecting their rest, Gu Chen drinking and making the dormitory smell particularly bad.Zhang Xinyang didn't bother to take care of his spare time, which wasn't even a violation of school rules.On the contrary, I think Gu Chen and those two roommates are quite good.

Knowing that Gu Chen changed dorms, I was quite happy for him.Just a little bit of worry: "In the new dormitory you moved to, the roommates are all seniors. They will graduate and leave school in June next year. Then you will be left alone. You have to change the dormitory."

Gu Chen smiled, but didn't speak.

After school has been open for so long, Zhang Xinyang also knows Gu Chen's quiet temperament.Smiled: "I mean, it's still early for the graduation season. You can get in touch with some classmates in the class. Or your basketball team. If you have a match, you can tell me in private. Change next year The dormitory, I'll just stuff you in."

I felt the care and kindness of the counselors.This time, the smile in Gu Chen's eyes was a bit more: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

"You're welcome. Isn't it my duty to take good care of you guys who are favored by heaven?" Zhang Xinyang smiled, and handed over the leave slip to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen put away the leave note.Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Xinyang opened the desk drawer, took out a box of happy candy and stuffed it to Gu Chen: "I went to attend an old classmate's wedding on the weekend, and took a few boxes of happy candy. I heard that you also like candy, so I'll share it with you." One box. Let you also be happy."

"A young man who is less than 20 years old still has a long life! Don't be sad all day long, he doesn't look energetic at all." Zhang Xinyang smiled and said, "It's not as energetic as an old man like me."

Gu Chen took the wedding candy stuffed by Zhang Xinyang, and lowered his head in a daze.Looking at the smiling cartoon villain on the wedding candy box, after a long time, he hooked the corners of his mouth and thanked him softly.

Zhang Xinyang waved his hand: "Hurry up and go to class! I'll be late in a while."

Gu Chen returned to the classroom with the candy in his hands.The news that he changed the dormitory last night has spread.Except for Wang Miao, Xia Tian and Gu Xiu looked a little uncomfortable, and many students went around to express their congratulations.

Shang Rui said with a smile: "It should have been changed a long time ago. Change the environment, change the mood."

Then, he took out a bag of colorful cotton candy from his bag: "Here, I wish you a happy housewarming."

He asked Gu Chen again: "Is the milk tea candy I brought you delicious?"

"It's delicious." Gu Chen nodded, and took the cotton candy Shang Rui gave him.Just about to use WeChat to transfer money, I heard Shang Rui repeat: "I said it all, congratulations on your housewarming. Today's cotton candy won't charge money, will it?"

Gu Chen paid the bill with a slight pause, raised his head and said with a smile, "Then thank you."

"You're welcome." Shang Rui smiled.After the class bell rang, return to your seat.

Before the teacher came in, Cheng Yi, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head and whispered, "Why haven't you come to the basketball team for training in the past two days? The coach has an opinion. Let me inform you that you must be there on time tonight In the arena for training."

Gu Chen came back to his senses and said, "I've been a little busy these two days, so I didn't take care of it."

Cheng Yi asked, "Then can you come tonight?"

Gu Chen nodded.

Gu Xiu sat in the other row.He has been paying attention to the interaction between Gu Chen and his classmates.No matter who came to talk to Gu Chen, Gu Xiu was always worried that Gu Chen was speaking ill of himself to the other party.So much so that I couldn't listen to what the teacher was saying during class.The whole person was in a trance.

This situation continued until the afternoon, when Gu Xiu saw that Gu Chen's seat was empty - he didn't even come to class.

Gu Xiu lost his temper immediately, and walked over to Cheng Yi and asked, "Why didn't my brother come to class?"

"Don't you know?" Cheng Yi looked at Gu Xiu in surprise, "Gu Chen asked for leave this afternoon."

Gu Xiu blurted out, "Ask for leave? Why did you ask for leave?"

"Professor Xing is going to attend an economic seminar, and Gu Chen is asked to go with him by name. Professor Xing asked Gu Chen to ask for leave. The whole class knows about it. I guess the whole school will know about it soon." Cheng Yi sneered. One: "Why don't you know anything? Don't you go online?"

Someone posted this on the school intranet.It caused a burst of excitement among the students in the school.Passionately guessing why Professor Xing is so kind to Gu Chen.

Gu Xiu was stunned, as if he hadn't reacted yet.

Cheng Yi had personally seen Gu Xiu's troublesome behavior in the basketball gymnasium, so he didn't want to talk to him too much.After saying these words, he turned around and chatted with his classmates.

The classmate couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You said that Gu Chen is really good! He can play basketball, sell buildings, make money by speculating in stocks, and write good papers—"

"However, there is one thing to say. If his paper hadn't been embellished by Professor Xing, it wouldn't have been published in The Economist, right?"

"I didn't say that his academic level is comparable to Mr. Xing's, right? I'm talking about the original manuscript of his thesis, no matter how you say it, it's at the level of a graduation thesis. It's much better than ours, right?"

"Better than most graduation thesis, right? At least the data collation and analysis, it's amazing!"

"The argument is also very powerful!"

"Python is really strong. Have you seen the reports he made? Data analysis and visualization are so comfortable."

"No wonder Professor Xing took a fancy to him, so he specially asked Gu Chen to sort out the data for him. But that work is really tiring, I have seen it with my own eyes. Gu Chen is busy every night until eleven or twelve o'clock, and the next morning Get up at four o'clock and continue to sort out the data."

"It's not just about sorting out data, is it? I think he also draws mind maps."

"Yes. It's the mind map notes of the CPA textbook. It's also published. Have you read it?"

"I don't take the CPA exam, so why watch that stuff?"

"Anyway, it's quite tiring. I'm tired just looking at it. I'm just a freshman. Is it so hard?"

"The hard work was not in vain! Isn't Professor Xing taking him to see the world?"

"That's an economic seminar held by XXX. Is the specification enough for the news broadcast?"

"Do you think Mr. Xing will take care of Shen as a disciple?"

"Who knows about this kind of thing? But seeing how Mr. Xing cultivated Gu Chen, he recommended "The Economist" for his thesis, and he took him to participate in economic seminars. It's probably the same."

"I'm so envious."

"There's nothing to envy. That's what Gu Chen deserves, right?"

"I just don't understand that Gu Chen is so awesome, why do people still say that he can't do this or that?"

"I still don't understand? It's a mediocrity not to be envied by others!" When Cheng Yi answered the words, he inadvertently glanced at Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu's face turned red, and he mustered up the courage to ask Cheng Yi, "What do you mean by that?"

"What did I say?" Cheng Yi was stunned by the question, and didn't react for a while.

Cheng Yi's deskmate pushed Cheng Yi, smiled and explained to Gu Xiu: "Gu Xiu, don't worry too much, we didn't mention you."

Cheng Yi came to his senses and looked at Gu Xiu with some embarrassment.He really didn't mean Gu Xiu just now.

Gu Xiu pursed his lips, trying to say something.I don't know what to say.

He knew that once Gu Chen moved out of the dormitory, someone would gossip about him behind his back.Sure enough, Gu Xiu's eyes were slightly red, and she felt that she was particularly wronged.Without saying a word, he turned and ran out of the classroom.

Cheng Yi's tablemate felt nervous, and asked Cheng Yi with some uncertainty: "He won't go to Huo Mingzhang to complain?"

They have witnessed Huo Shao's school bullying style in University A.

Cheng Yi swallowed nervously, and said without confidence: "It's okay. I didn't say anything."

But Gu Xiu obviously didn't think so.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, completely losing interest in chatting.

On the other side, Professor Xing was also chatting with his students.

"What do you want to eat tonight? I know there is a good private restaurant nearby. The braised pork is very authentic. After the meeting, I will take you there to eat."

Gu Chen was busy sorting out Professor Xing's manuscript, and nodded casually upon hearing this.Immediately realizing something was wrong, he raised his head and asked, "Is your blood pressure and blood lipids normal? Can you eat braised pork?"

Affected by the plot, although Gu Chen is also a student of University A, he was not familiar with Mr. Xing in his previous life.However, in Gu Chen's impression, as long as people get older, they will more or less have three highs.It should be common sense not to drink too much and not to eat too greasy.

Professor Xing: "..."

I didn't expect my elementary school student to be so difficult when he came out with him for the first time.Professor Xing said unwillingly: "It doesn't matter if you eat less. It's the first time you come out to a meeting with me, so I will take you to have a good meal anyway."

Gu Chen shook his head, not wanting to take the blame: "I keep healthy. I don't want to eat too greasy at night."

When Professor Xing heard what Gu Chen said, he couldn't laugh or cry: "What kind of life do you have at such a young age? Didn't you go out to eat hot pot with your new roommate last night?"

Gu Chen didn't expect Professor Xing to pay so much attention to his affairs, so he was a little surprised.Still said: "I still drink chrysanthemums soaked in goji berries! Last night was a special occasion. I invited my new roommate to have supper."

"Then tonight is also a special case—"

Before Professor Xing could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Old Xing. What are you doing?" The person who came was a man in his 50s, wearing a blue cotton shirt and a very casual suit jacket.Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.The sound is like a bell, full of confidence.

"Old Shen!" Professor Xing glanced at the visitor, and introduced to Gu Chen: "Shen Xingzhou, the editor-in-chief of "The Economist", he was the one who reviewed your previous manuscript."

Shen Xingzhou glanced at Gu Chen, and said with a smile, "So you are Gu Chen. The young man looks quite energetic."

Saying that, he patted Gu Chen on the shoulder very satisfied: "You have a good talent, let's learn from your teacher!"

Gu Chen nodded.

Shen Xingzhou said to Professor Xing again: "Today's meeting—"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted again: "Mr. Xing, Mr. Shen, I really didn't expect such a coincidence. We met at the door."

This time, the person who came was a middle-aged man who looked like a cadre.Surrounded by a group of seven or eight people at the front, they greeted Shen Xingzhou and Professor Xing with a smile when they walked over.

Professor Xing and Shen Xingzhou nodded towards the visitor.The visitor noticed Gu Chen standing next to Professor Xing at a glance, and asked with a smile: "Didn't Qi Yue come here with you in the past, why did you change people today?"

Professor Xing nodded, and introduced to Gu Chen: "This is Director Sun of the Urban Construction Bureau."

After finishing speaking, he responded to Director Sun's words: "Qi Yue will graduate next semester. I have to plan ahead and train people first."

Director Sun was just a gossip.Unexpectedly, Mr. Xing's attitude towards Gu Chen was quite caring.Immediately, he looked at Gu Chen again.Someone also recognized Gu Chen who was standing beside Professor Xing, and greeted with a little surprise: "Gu Chen? I really didn't expect that we would meet here."

Professor Xing glanced at Gu Chen: "Do you know each other?"

Gu Chen glanced at Zhou Yueting and Zhou's father, and said, "My classmate's parent."

Father Zhou said with a smile, "My little girl is also studying at University A. She is very close to Gu Chen. She took Gu Chen to eat at home two days ago."

Speaking of this, Zhou's father looked at Gu Chen, and said meaningfully: "The hospitality is not good!"

Gu Chen smiled, but didn't speak.

Zhou Yueting said: "Gu Chen worked part-time in the sales department of Dazhou Tianxia before, and helped us solve a reputation crisis. I told my father that Gu Chen is a talent. I also felt that the quality of the students in University A is good. One generation is better than the other. At least when I was in school, I was not as good as Gu Chen. I didn't expect Gu Chen to be a student carefully cultivated by Xing, so it's no wonder."

After saying this, the faces of the other company representatives present changed subtly.

Director Sun asked curiously: "Is it the incident in the sales department of Dazhou Group that made a lot of noise some time ago?"

Zhou Yueting nodded, and praised Gu Chen without concealing his admiration: "It happened on Saturday morning, and the public relations department was on vacation. Fortunately, Gu Chen responded in a timely manner. He called Xiaoting as soon as possible, and then personally guided How our public relations department did public relations finally resolved the crisis smoothly."

"Oh?" Director Sun nodded and said with a smile, "That's really a boy born from a hero."

"What kind of hero is a teenager, this brat just likes to make money." Professor Xing said with a smile: "You don't know that I, a student, skipped my professional class on the first day of school and went to the sales office to sell buildings. I caught it straight. I punished him for a defense, and told him that if I was not satisfied with what he wrote, his usual grades for this semester would be lost.”

"And then?" Director Sun listened with gusto.

"Then student Gu wrote an article. Lao Xing and I read it and found it very inspiring. So I asked Lao Xing to retouch the pen and send it to The Economist." Shen Xingzhou answered with a smile.

"I have an impression of that article. It is very practical."

"In this way, Dazhou Group is also responsible for Mr. Xing's ability to find such an excellent student." Director Sun joked.

"It's almost time, everyone go in!" Shen Xingzhou looked at his watch and said.

A group of people filed into the conference room.Gu Chen sat down behind Professor Xing, took out his notebook and recorder, and concentrated on taking notes.

The main content of today's economic seminar is to discuss urban construction planning.

In order to promote the development of city A and stimulate economic consumption, the government of city A plans to plan a new commercial center.Spend huge sums of money to build a shopping plaza integrating shopping, food, cultural and sports activities.The construction area alone exceeds 18 square meters.Not to mention the various other infrastructures that will radiate to the surrounding after the square is completed, such as food courts and commercial pedestrian streets.And in order to match the development and prosperity of the new commercial center, a new subway line is planned.

In general, this investment has to stimulate at least hundreds of billions of infrastructure consumption.

At present, this plan is still in the initial stage of finalization.Even the location of the new commercial center has not yet been finalized.

At present, there are two loudest voices. One is to propose to build a new commercial center in Xicheng District, because Xicheng District is an old city with a lot of traffic.But the urban planning is old.Over the years, the urban transformation of the old city has also been a headache for the government.If we can take advantage of the selection of a new commercial center this time and directly put the renovation of the old city on the agenda, it will solve a serious problem for the government.

The disadvantage is that the urban planning of the old city is too dense, and some places are even in the state of a village in the city.If you want to transform this area into a commercial center, the compensation for the demolition alone is a huge figure.Developers certainly don't want to invest so much in the early stage.So it's more stalemate

The other is to develop a new commercial center on the outskirts of Dongcheng, and radiate food streets, pedestrian streets, colleges, residences, hospitals, schools and other infrastructure to the surrounding areas.Then open a subway line to drain traffic.Create a new commercial center directly from scratch.

The disadvantage is that the risk is too high.Because no one can tell whether this can successfully attract traffic, whether it can turn the new commercial center into a consumer center with dense passenger traffic.Is it possible to revitalize this big project.

Because government support and other aspects are involved, the companies participating in the bidding also have their own calculations.

For example, the Zhou family and the Huo family tend to build a new commercial center in Dongcheng District.Because the two bought several pieces of land together in the suburbs of Dongcheng a few years ago, which happened to be within the scope of this plan.If the government can choose the location of the commercial center in the suburbs of Dongcheng, and open a subway line, the land in the hands of Zhou Huo and his family will immediately increase.

The Ling family is more inclined to develop the old western city.Because many properties and office buildings of the Ling family are in Xicheng District.If the government chooses to develop Xicheng District, the Ling family's property will naturally double in value.

Of course, no matter where the commercial center is finally selected, the initial capital of this project will be tens of billions, and the total development funds will exceed hundreds of billions.For the several companies that intend to participate in the bidding, it is an important indicator of whether the company's performance can meet the standards in the next few years, and it is also an important symbol that determines their status in the business world of City A. It is a piece of fat that they must take down.

Gu Chen also had a slight impression of this project.He remembered that in his previous life, due to various external factors, this project was finally finalized in Dongcheng District.The Ling family was excluded at first.

However, the joint development project of the Huo Zhou family in Dongcheng District was not very pleasant at the beginning.The main reason is that although the two companies are cooperating happily, they are also silently fighting for the initiative during the project process.At first, the Zhou family had the upper hand.Later, after Gu Xiu recognized their ancestors and returned to their clan, the Ling family hooked up with the Huo family through Gu Xiu's relationship, and successfully squeezed into this urban construction project.

Because of this matter, the Huo family and the Zhou family were not very happy for a time.

The reason why Gu Chen has an impression of this is because after Gu Xiu returned to Ling's house, he was in charge of this project when he first joined the company.At that time, Gu Chen, as Gu Xiu's assistant, also had access to some materials and core secrets of the project.

Unexpectedly, after reliving the first life, Gu Chen went around and participated in it again, and even mixed it in more completely.

After a meeting, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon.After the meeting ended, Professor Xing slowly stood up from his seat, walked to Gu Chen's side, and asked, "Let me see how your record is going? Is there anything you missed?"

As Professor Xing said, he opened Gu Chen's notebook and found that in addition to concisely recording the main content of the meeting and the main points of the speakers, it also drew various ghost symbols that normal people could not understand. He frowned .

"What are you drawing?"

Gu Chen shook the recording pen in his hand: "Don't worry, I will sort out the records with the recording pen later and hand them over to you. There will be no omissions."

As for the ghost symbols on the notebook, they were some information that Gu Chen casually thought of when he heard other people speak.Because it involves the planning of the entire project in the next few years, including policy support, the response of several companies, and social incidents, etc., Gu Chen didn't want to reveal the secret, so he drew a mark that only he could understand.

Professor Xing shook his head, before saying anything, Shen Xingzhou also came over, picked up Gu Chen's notebook and looked at it very familiarly, although most of them didn't understand, but this did not prevent Shen Xingzhou from praising Gu Chen: "This The notes are much more detailed than the previous assistant. The organization is also clear."

While speaking, Shen Xingzhou discovered the two words of political achievement and people's livelihood that Gu Chen had marked on the back of the urban construction plans of Dongcheng District and Xicheng District respectively, and took a look at Gu Chen calmly.

Can't help but ask the school: "Do you think this urban construction plan should implement the project in Dongcheng District or Xicheng District?"

It was the first time for Gu Chen to accompany Professor Xing to attend such a high-level meeting, and he was still an assistant. He didn't want to be too high-profile, so he said vaguely: "Each has its own advantages."

"Tell me specifically." As soon as Shen Xingzhou urged, he was interrupted impatiently by his old friend Professor Xing: "What are you talking about? What time is it? Are you hungry? I found out that you cultural people, did you have a meeting?" Is it enough?"

One sentence immediately made most of the people present laugh.Shen Xingzhou pointed at his old friend, dumbfounding: "Who is the most educated here? We are educated people, aren't you? Cooking beans to burn Osmunda, why bother to embarrass your own people?"

"It was you who made things difficult for my belly first." Professor Xing said relentlessly, "Hurry up and eat. I'm hungry."

Because of Professor Xing's insistence, everyone finally went to the private restaurant recommended by Professor Xing.After Professor Xing got the menu, he couldn't wait to order their signature dish, braised pork, and said to Gu Chen, "This is specially ordered for you. Try it."

Gu Chen held onto the pot that was abruptly pushed up, and said helplessly, "Professor, it's late at night, can you stop eating so greasy?"

"Then you order." Professor Xing directly handed the menu to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen ordered a few light vegetarian dishes.Professor Xing watched coldly, and hummed twice in disbelief.I don't believe that when the food comes, Gu Chen really eats green vegetables.

Shen Xingzhou really liked Gu Chen's behavior of knowing how to take care of his old friend's body, and said with a smile: "You are a very thoughtful kid. Unlike your senior brother, who is afraid of Lao Xing losing his temper, he dare not stop him every time."

Zhou's father and son, who also came over to eat, couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this interaction.
