Confession of Rebirth

"I happen to have time at noon, and I want to come over to look at the house." On the phone, Zhong Lisui's voice was gentle and casual: "I thought you might not have eaten yet, so I wanted to call you to see if we can make an appointment for dinner together ?”

An idol appointment vs eating with two ex-clients who don't have a cold, there is no need to think about it at all, the balance in Gu Chen's heart has been completely tilted to one side.

"No problem. I just haven't eaten yet!"

Zhong Li smiled and said, "I'm at the door of the sales office."

"Wait for me for a few minutes." Gu Chen hung up the phone, got up and said, "I'm sorry, I have something to do, so I can't accompany you to eat. Please take your time, I will pay for the meal."

After finishing speaking, Gu Chen turned around and left regardless of Yao Yuan's yelling to stop him.When passing by the bar, I did not forget to tell the cashier girl: "This meal will be charged to my account, and I will come to pay at night. Don't take their money."

The cashier girl nodded, and made an "OK" gesture to Gu Chen.

As soon as Gu Chen went out, he saw a black Maybach parked in front of the sales office.Gu Chen walked over and knocked on the car window, and Zhong Li rolled down the window helplessly: "It's cold outside, get in the car quickly."

Gu Chen went around to sit in the co-pilot's seat, put on his seat belt, and asked casually, "Where are we going to eat?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to eat Yangxiezi hotpot last time? I found an old restaurant with a particularly good taste." Zhong Li then turned the steering wheel and said with a smile: "It's just a matter of time to eat together."

Gu Chen was a little worried: "It won't be very spicy, right?"

"Let's order something slightly spicy." Zhong Lisui said, "And eating sheep and scorpion hot pot in winter is more nourishing."

While speaking, Zhong Lisui looked at Gu Chen's ears and nose that were red from the cold: "Is it very cold?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "It's okay. I don't feel cold."

Zhong Li smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the Yangxiezi hot pot restaurant recommended by Zhong Lisui.The hot pot restaurant is located in a residential building, and the door looks small, with a slightly retro archway shape.The signboard was wiped clean.The words "Lao Yang's Yang Scorpion Hot Pot" are written squarely.On both sides of the plaque, there are also two strings of red lanterns hanging. When the northwest wind blows, the swaying with the wind is particularly jubilant.

The entrance of the hot pot restaurant was full of cars, and there was no parking lot nearby.Gu Chen and Zhong Li then circled the street for a long time before finding a parking space.

Before getting out of the car, Zhong Lisui threw his scarf to Gu Chen and asked him to wear it.It was only then that Gu Chen remembered that he had used Zhong Lisui's scarf last time and hadn't returned it yet.

"I'll return it when I have time. It's not like we won't see each other in the future." Zhong Li said with a smile: "Hurry up and surround yourself, it's cold outside."

Gu Chen put on his scarf, and when he got off the car, he felt a gust of northwest wind blowing towards his face.Scratched on the face like a knife.Gu Chen couldn't help rubbing his face with his hands: "It's really cold today."

Zhong Li smiled and quickened his pace, and the two entered the hot pot restaurant as quickly as possible.You can smell the particularly strong aroma of the hot pot bottom material from a distance.

Gu Chen sniffed and suddenly felt very hungry.

"There are a lot of people!" Gu Chen looked at the crowded guests in the hotel lobby, and frowned: "It seems that there are no seats."

"I reserved a box in advance." Zhong Li said with a smile.Walked to the bar and reported the number of the box to the service staff, and immediately the welcome guests led the two of them to the second floor.

After ordering, the service staff gave free fruit and pickled radish.While waiting for the food, Zhong Lisui asked casually, "What have you been up to lately?"

"Study hard and improve every day." Gu Chen thought for a while, and added: "I even changed the dormitory. The new roommates are very nice."

"It can be seen." Zhong Li said with a smile, "You look much happier than usual today."

Gu Chen smiled.

Zhong Lisui asked again: "I heard that you and Professor Xing participated in last week's economic seminar. How is it going, what do you think?"

Tiansui Capital is one of the best investment companies in China.Investment projects span all walks of life.Gu Chen would not be surprised that Zhong Li would know that he and Professor Xing attended the economic seminar together.

Gu Chen thought for a while and said, "I think it should be very difficult to extend the scope of urban construction to Xicheng District."

Zhongli then nodded: "Developers also want to make money. If the scope of urban construction is planned to the west city, the cost of demolition will be too high. It is far less easy than directly developing a new business center in the suburbs of the east city."

Gu Chen sighed: "But I wrote a plan. If it can be implemented, I think the benefits of developing the West District will not be less than that of the Dongcheng District."

As he said that, Gu Chen roughly mentioned his proposal to Zhong Li, picking out the part that could be said.

Zhong Lisui heard Gu Chen's proposal to lobby foreign investors to invest in the development of Xicheng District, and smiled: "The old Mr. Li Shaozhou you mentioned happens to be known to me too. Would you like me to recommend it for you?"

Gu Chen's heart moved slightly, after thinking about it, he still shook his head and refused: "I'd better wait for Professor Xing's letter first. This plan may not be approved."

Zhong Li said with a smile: "I think your plan is very good. It is feasible. It should be passed."

"Accept your good words." Gu Chen said, the door of the box was opened, and the service staff served Sanyang Kaitai's mutton scorpion pot.There are lamb chops, lamb tails, and lamb scorpions inside, and the slightly spicy thick soup is constantly churning with the aroma of lamb.

Gu Chen swallowed his saliva.Picking up a sheep's tail with chopsticks: "I'm not welcome."

Zhong Li then smiled, and also picked up a piece of lamb chops for himself.The mutton has been stewed so soft and rotten, and it is so tender that it doesn't smell bad at all.Just a mouthful of incense.Very satisfied.

"It's so cold, it's really a blessing to be able to eat warm sheep and scorpions." Gu Chen sighed and poured himself a glass of juice: "When I was inspecting Xicheng District some time ago, the more famous old restaurants I've been to them all. Some restaurants taste really good."

Zhong Li asked casually, "Did you go by yourself?"

"I went with my classmates on the first day. He drove me. In the next few days, I rode a small electric donkey and ran around." Gu Chen was coughed twice, and quickly took a sip of fruit juice to suppress it.

Zhong Lisui said, "Why didn't you call me? It's such a cold day and the ground is slippery. Riding a battery car is cold and unsafe."

"Don't bother." Gu Chen shook his head with tears in his eyes: "You are so busy, it's not appropriate for me to disturb you for such a small matter. Besides, in the Xicheng District, especially those villages in the city, driving is really bad Go shopping. Some alleys are so narrow that you can’t even get in.”

While talking, Gu Chen immersed himself in his food. He finished a piece of lamb tail and picked up another piece of lamb chop.Very busy.

Zhong Lisui looked at Gu Chen's increasingly familiar face, and smiled slightly: "That's fine. But in the future, if you have something to do, you can call me. Where I can help, I will definitely help."

Gu Chen nodded without any further evasion.

Since he had to go to work in the afternoon, Gu Chen didn't intend to drink.Zhong Lisui didn't like drinking during the day either.After the two finished their meal, Zhong Li sent Gu Chen back to the sales office.Stop by to see the room.

Gu Chen followed Zhong Lisui to Building B 808, and returned the decoration key to Zhong Lisui by the way.

Zhong Li then opened the door and went in, looking at the brand new house with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"It's not bad!" Gu Chen looked around, "It's all made by me watching them little by little, you can rest assured about the quality."

"Of course I don't worry about you." Zhong Li said with a smile, "I'm still very satisfied. This house must be very comfortable to live in."

Gu Chen nodded, he thought so too.

After chatting with Zhong Lisui for a while, Gu Chen hurried back to the sales office before going to work.Another order opened this afternoon.When getting off work in the evening, all the colleagues in the sales department changed their clothes and left. Gu Chen followed his colleagues to the sales office, ordered various skewers and tinfoiled enoki mushrooms, eggplants and green peppers at a barbecue restaurant across the street, and then carried two bags full of them. Dadou returned to the financial room after supper.

The girls who were working overtime were so excited when they smelled the barbecue aroma permeating the accounting room.

After eating the barbecue, Gu Chen came to the financial manager's office alone.Sister Ling has to pick up the child at night, so she has already left work early.Sitting in front of the computer, Gu Chen called up his billing records and contract numbers for the past six months, sorting out all the things that needed to be handed over.Then enter Cao Yan's name, and roughly browse through the clients that Cao Yan has been in charge of before.Record the list one by one.

After finishing this, Gu Chen looked at the financial status of the Dazhou Group, especially the interest-bearing liabilities and net asset-liability ratio.Then estimated the funding gap of Da Zhou Group.

Under normal circumstances, the main source of funds for real estate companies is debt financing.Dazhou Group is now preparing to list on the Hong Kong stock market. In order to make the books look good and stimulate good news, the group headquarters issued a series of sales incentive policies and financial policies.In terms of company announcements, it also spent a lot of money on public relations for corporate image.

From the dazzling array of financial statements, it is not difficult for Gu Chen to see the ambitions of the Dazhou Group.Unfortunately, the implementation of these policies will cost a lot of money.Judging from the current book information of Dazhou Group, the funds that Dazhou Group can currently mobilize are far from enough to support the expenditure of these financial policies.

——In other words, the current funding gap of Dazhou Group is still very large.If the listing of the Hong Kong stock market cannot be completed in time, or if there are any problems in the process of operating the listing, it will easily cause a crisis of capital chain rupture.

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, exited the system, and cleaned up all the traces he had browsed.Then turn off the computer.Hand over the account that I have sorted out to the young lady in the finance department: "It's done. When I leave at the end of the month, whoever takes over my client, just let her see this."

The finance lady flipped through the handover accounts that Gu Chen sorted out, and couldn't help sighing: "Your accounts are so clear! They are much better than mine. How can you know everything? Are all the students in your A university like this?" Great. Have you already learned this level in freshman year?"

Gu Chen smiled and said casually, "I've been watching CPA recently—"

Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by the financial lady: "You are only a freshman, are you already preparing for the CPA exam?"

"I'm just looking around." Gu Chen glanced at the time: "I won't chat with you guys anymore. Otherwise, I won't be able to catch the last train."

"Oh, see you tomorrow then." The finance lady waved at Gu Chen.

When Gu Chen left the financial office, he couldn't help sighing to his colleagues around him: "It's so annoying to compare people to people."

The colleague smiled: "Don't think so much. Hurry up and work! Otherwise, you won't be able to leave work before twelve o'clock in the middle of the night."

When Gu Chen came out of the sales office, it was completely dark.The sky was dark, with no stars and no moon.It is estimated that it will snow tomorrow.Gu Chen stood in front of the bus stop, and after waiting for less than 2 minutes, he saw a black Maybach slowly driving out of the community and parked in front of him.

Zhong Li then rolled down the car window and said with a smile, "Get in the car, I'll take you back to school."

Gu Chen bent over and tilted his head, looking at Zhong Lisui who was sitting in the driver's seat: "Why did you leave?"

"I bought some daily necessities, took a shower at home and slept, and that's it." Zhong Li said with a smile: "My partner called me and asked me to go back to the company. Just now When I came out, I met you waiting for the car here."

After a pause, Zhong Li then asked, "Why are you leaving get off work so late?"

Gu Chen opened the door and got into the car, and explained to Zhong Lisui while fastening his seat belt: "I will stop this part-time job until the end of this month. Before leaving the job, there are some things that need to be dealt with."

Gu Chen didn't say anything specific, and Zhong Lisui didn't ask either.Just curiously said: "You are leaving your job? Then what are you going to do next?"

"I haven't figured it out yet." Gu Chen said, "Maybe I will follow Professor Xing to complete the development of Xicheng District. Then we are about to take the final exam, and I have to study hard."

Zhong Li then smiled.

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Zhong Lisui explained while driving, "It's just that it's a little weird to hear the word "review carefully" from your mouth."

"What's so unbelievable?" Gu Chen said with a smile, "I haven't paid much attention to my lectures this semester. If I don't study well before the exam, I really have to make up the exam."

Speaking of this, Gu Chen was still a little worried.In freshman year courses, Gu Chen is not worried about science-based exams such as "Principles of Economics", "Calculus", and "Linear Algebra", but "Outline of Modern History", "Western Civilization" and Elective courses like "Aesthetic Appreciation" can really suffocate Gu Chen to death.

It's not just a question of not listening to the whole class from the beginning to the end, it's really hard to see!

Gu Chen let out a long sigh, and said why did he have to be reborn until the first year of freshman year!It would be great if you graduated directly.

Zhong Lisui looked at Gu Chen's serious worry, and couldn't help but smile: "I believe in you, there must be no problem."

Gu Chen shook his head, not wanting to say anything.

The car drove to the gate of University A, Gu Chen was just about to get out of the car when Zhong Li called to stop him.

Zhong Li handed over the scarf that he had brought to Gu Chen before.Gu Chen was a little embarrassed: "No need. I haven't returned the scarf I borrowed from you before!"

Zhong Li smiled and said, "Since you haven't paid back that one, it's not bad for this one. Let's pay it back together at that time."

Before Gu Chen could speak, Zhong Lisui said again: "It's so cold outside. It will only get colder at night."

After thinking about it, Gu Chen still took the scarf.Ask Zhong Lisui: "Then you will be in Dazhou tomorrow? I will return the scarf to you when I go to work."

Zhong Li then nodded, but said: "Call me tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Gu Chen got out of the car.

Zhong Lisui kept watching Gu Chen's back as he entered the school before driving away.

As soon as Gu Chen returned to his dormitory, he received a call from Professor Xing.

On the phone, Professor Xing's tone was a little excited.Tell Gu Chen that after his lobbying, most of the representatives of the western faction have agreed to the planning plan written by Gu Chen.The specific details may need to be adjusted, but most of them will be implemented according to the plan.

"Do you have time tomorrow?" Professor Xing asked, "Let's meet someone. You can ask her to write an article about remembering the old city. Then help us invite more people to join us and speak out for the maintenance of the old city."

"And the online essay competition you mentioned before can also be carried out. Can you take charge of this matter?"

Gu Chen nodded, realizing that Professor Xing couldn't see his movements, and said, "No problem. I can handle the online essay solicitation."

"That's good." Professor Xing said: "Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, I will wait for you at the school gate."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen immediately called Zhong Lisui.

Zhong Lisui had just arrived at the company, and was a little surprised when he received a call from Gu Chen.Just as he was about to ask Gu Chen if he had left something on the car, Gu Chen said very apologetically: "...I have to meet someone with the professor tomorrow, so I can't go to work. Can I return the scarf another day?" you?"

Zhong Li was slightly disappointed, and said with a smile: "Of course it's no problem, I'm not in a hurry to use it."

"Then thank you." Gu Chen was extremely embarrassed.After thinking about it, he said, "I'll treat you to dinner next time."

"Okay." Zhong Li then smiled.

After hanging up the phone, he sighed slightly.

Jiang Mingfan looked at Fa Xiao's slightly disappointed look, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Zhong Li came back to his senses: "The kid who made a dinner appointment with me is going to miss the appointment."

Jiang Mingfan immediately reacted: "That Gu Chen?"

Zhong Li then nodded.

Jiang Mingfan was curious: "Why did he miss the appointment?"

Zhong Li then simply explained a few sentences.I saw Jiang Mingfan complaining with disgust on his face: "Why don't you turn your head around? He and the professor go to see people, and it's impossible to see them all day. You can call him at noon or at night, send a message, and ask Ask him what he is doing!"

Zhong Li was a little tempted.After thinking about it, I still shook my head: "Forget it. Don't put too much pressure on him. He must be very busy recently."

Zhong Lisui still remembered Gu Chen's radiant look when he mentioned the plan to develop the old western city.It is rare for a person to fully devote himself to one thing, not to mention that it seems to be a very big project at present.Zhong Li didn't want to bother Gu Chen too much, and make Gu Chen feel burdened.

Jiang Mingfan shrugged his shoulders: "I'm too lazy to talk to you. Let's get down to business!"

On the other side, after Gu Chen hung up the phone, the three roommates in the dormitory also surrounded him.

"Are you going to meet someone with Professor Xing tomorrow?" Gao Haiyang was particularly curious: "Who?"

"I don't know yet." Gu Chen said while taking off his down jacket, "I won't know until we meet tomorrow morning."

"Then you must behave well." Gao Haiyang knew how to measure, and didn't ask too much: "Anyway, no matter who you go to meet, the person Professor Xing took you to meet must be a boss."

"I agree with this." Zhao Shu also said: "Anyway, it's always good to leave a good impression."

He Qingchen thought of the gossip he had heard in the graduate student group, but he didn't say anything, he just shared the apple he bought in the afternoon with Gu Chen: "Good luck."

"When you took the apple, I suddenly remembered," Gao Haiyang rubbed his chin: "It's almost Christmas Eve, right? How are you going to spend it?"

Gu Chen blinked his eyes, but he didn't really have any concept of celebrating Christmas Eve: "Look what day of the week it is! Anyway, it's either at school or at the sales office."

Gao Haiyang suddenly smiled very meaningfully, pointed at Gu Chen with both hands, and said meanly: "Say a little, let's not talk about it, civilized you and me."

Gu Chen: "..."

Zhao Shu shrugged: "In the Internet cafe."

He Qingchen tapped on the postgraduate entrance examination materials: "It's in the library."

He asked Gao Haiyang again: "What about you?"

"It's up to Weiwei." Gao Haiyang said in an ordinary tone: "You don't know me yet. As long as our family Weiwei speaks, any festival should be celebrated as Valentine's Day."

"This kind of monotonous and boring life, you single dogs will never understand it!"

"Virtue!" Zhao Shu couldn't stand it anymore, and went to the next bedroom to play games with his laptop.

Gu Chen called Liao Chunhua again to ask for leave.Liao Chunhua also knew that Gu Chen was about to leave his job.With only a few days left, Liao Chunhua didn't want to be strict with Gu Chen.If he wants to come, he will come, and if he doesn't want to come, he will be given leave as usual.Anyway, Gu Chen's achievements are beyond words.

He Qingchen looked at Gu Chen after asking for leave, and said with a smile: "If you don't do that part-time job, then you won't do it. Although it's a pity to have a few hundred thousand a month, but with your ability, it's not bad. Or It is more promising to follow the professor."

Gu Chen smiled, and was about to speak when He Qingchen said, "Are you going to the common room later? The two of us are together."

Gu Chen nodded.Pick up the computer and a few books you often read and go to the common room for self-study.As usual, study at 11:30 in the evening and go back to bed.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Gu Chen arrived at the school gate on time.I saw the professor's car was already waiting across the street.

Gu Chen got into the car, and Professor Xing looked up and down Gu Chen, who was wearing the down jacket and jeans as usual, a little disgusted: "Why don't you wear it more energetically?"

Gu Chen: "...?"

Professor Xing shook his head: "Forget it. This is not bad. After all, we are here. Let's drive!"

Before Gu Chen understood what Professor Xing meant, he saw the car start slowly and leisurely turned into the teacher's family building of University B next door.

Gu Chen: "..."

Gu Chen sighed: "You should have said it earlier! If you said that you brought me to meet a professor from University B, I would definitely look like a peacock in my fancy dress."

"It's okay! We're here!" Professor Xing patted the student on the shoulder and comforted him.

The two get out of the car.Professor Xing walked in front, followed by Gu Chen, carrying two gift boxes in his hands. The faculty’s family building in University B was built many years ago, and there is no combination lock at the door of the unit.The teacher and the student went directly to the third floor and knocked on the door.

Only someone inside the door raised his voice and asked, "Who is it?"

Inexplicably, Gu Chen felt that this voice sounded familiar.When the door opened, Gu Chen looked at the person standing inside the door, and was stunned.

Hong Yun who opened the door for the guests was also a little dumbfounded, looked at Professor Xing standing outside the door, and Gu Chen who was carrying the gift box, and immediately smiled and said: "It seems that it is destined that we will sit down for this meal after all. food."
