Confession of Rebirth

In the next few days, Gu Chen's whole mind was busy with the essay competition and the end-of-term review.He was so busy that he had no time to spare, Gu Chen didn't even go to his part-time job for the last week.I made a special call to Liao Chunhua, and planned to wait for the essay competition to come to an end before going to the sales office to handle the resignation handover.

Liao Chunhua also understood that Gu Chen was different from other employees, so he didn't bother to care about such trivial matters.He also told Gu Chen not to forget to rest just because he was obsessed with studying, and pay attention to the balance between work and rest.He also said that when Gu Chen came to handle the handover, everyone would treat him to a break-up meal together.

By the way, tell Gu Chen that he hasn't come to work for the past two weeks, and everyone misses him very much.

"I know that you are different from us, and you will definitely have a bright future. Then I wish you a prosperous future and a bright sky. If you have time, come to the sales office to have a look. You are always welcome here." Liao Chunhua said.

"By the way!" Liao Chunhua was talking, and suddenly remembered another thing: "The headquarters called me two days ago and asked about your affairs."

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Ask me what?"

"It's nothing, I'm just asking how you are doing in the sales office. Especially this month when you left." Liao Chunhua said: "I told the truth, you are busy with final exam review this month, so you basically didn't come to work. But the performance is not bad. Not bad. I can get a [-]% commission. The headquarters asked you how you did with the resignation handover. They also transferred all the orders you have closed in the past few months."

Liao Chunhua was a little worried: "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Gu Chen guessed that the Zhou family probably wanted to smooth out his connections among his clients.Of course, there might be other plots, and Gu Chen didn't care.On the left, soldiers came to block the water and cover them with soil.

"That's good." Liao Chunhua smiled.After several actions at the headquarters, Liao Chunhua realized that the relationship between Gu Chen and the Zhou family might not be as good as they imagined.Liao Chunhua is soft-spoken and doesn't want to get involved in this kind of rich family's grievances.But after getting along with Gu Chen for a few months, she also felt that Gu Chen was a good person.So where there should be a reminder, Liao Chunhua will also remind in private.

It's just that this kind of speculation should be tacitly understood by everyone, and no one will bring it to the table.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen logged into the blue V of the essay contest and announced the second round of lucky draw.The first round of sweepstakes that was posted earlier worked really well.As a result, the topic of #老照里的故事#, with more than [-] million readings and nearly [-] discussions, exploded like a blowout for a second round of discussions.Gu Chen took the opportunity to announce the registration requirements and shortlisting process of the Micro Film Contest, as well as the championship rewards.In addition, it also specifically mentioned that the Micro Film Contest will cooperate with the Jiliwala website to promote the theme of #摇老城城#.

However, due to filming—even a short 10-minute micro-movie, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, cost-intensive, and requires teamwork.It simply cannot be done overnight.Therefore, since the official announcement of the micro film competition, although there are many teams that have signed up, there is still no finished product.

Gu Chen knew that this process was not something to rush, so he could only wait patiently.However, while waiting for the upload of the microfilm works, it is impossible for Gu Chen to let the participating netizens idle, so as not to distract everyone's attention from other things and make anticlimactic jokes.

Therefore, Gu Chen started from the very beginning of the essay competition, posted a message with the topic of #老照里的故事#, randomly drew prizes to encourage netizens to post enthusiasm, and developed to the follow-up knowledge popularization and prize-winning quizzes, allowing Professor Qin and other literary The big V bloggers related to history popularize the history and anecdotes of those cultural relics and buildings in the old city every day, and also launched a topic of #改变老城#, allowing netizens to participate in the debate.Let's see if everyone's opinions are maintenance and renovation or directly tearing down and rebuilding.

In addition, Gu Chen even opened up a "high school special area" in a particularly "sinister" way.Collect the contributions of students from various colleges and universities, and let netizens who watch the excitement vote for the "Most Infectious Article" and "Your Favorite Old Photo".This is undoubtedly a hornet's nest.It directly caused students in various colleges to desperately vote for themselves, and netizens enthusiastically ate melons.Even the big Vs on Weibo from colleges and universities had to end the grand occasion of canvassing votes for their colleges.

All in all, thanks to Gu Chen's efforts, the topic of renovating the old city has gradually become a topic of people's livelihood that the whole society is concerned about, and the discussion is quite high.The coefficient of public opinion is growing explosively.

So far, Gu Chen's essay competition can be regarded as the first set of punches.

"The young man is very good! The young is the blue!"

On Friday morning, Gu Chen went to Professor Xing's office to report on work, and happened to meet a professor from the history department of the school.The professor's surname is Yan, and he mainly studies the history of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The "Outline of Modern History" in the first grade of A University was also taught by this professor.

Gu Chen is now Professor Xing's favorite student, and he is highly valued and supported by Professor Xing. Many people know this.Most people look at Professor Xing's face, and they will give Gu Chen a high look and be courteous.Occasionally, when Gu Chen asked for leave and skipped class, those professors would turn a blind eye.I won't be too serious about signing in.

But this doesn't mean that Gu Chen won't feel guilty when facing these professors.Especially this Professor Yan.

Because when Gu Chen was in the "Outline of Modern History", he skipped classes and didn't listen to the lectures. He stayed in the last row to draw mind maps or take notes, so that the final exam was less than a week away. Holding the Buddha's feet on the back of the teaching material.

"I hope you can get a good result in this exam." As expected, after Professor Yan politely praised Gu Chen, he immediately changed the subject: "Don't let Professor Xing down on you. "

Gu Chen: "..."

Professor Xing glanced at the student and said, "We are all vulgar people who are engaged in economics. I am like this, and my students are similar. I have never had any expectations for his literary and historical literacy."

Hearing this, Professor Yan gave Professor Xing a helpless look: "Are you still very proud of what you said?"

"My students follow me, how can I not be happy!" Professor Xing laughed and said, "Whenever you have time, go out with me to make a documentary and invite you to be a guest. Tell us ordinary people about those cultures at the dinner table. The incense of the historic site can be regarded as promoting the development and maintenance of the old city.”

Professor Yan also knows that various colleges and universities are holding that micro-film competition recently.The School of Economics and Management held a round table food talk meeting under Professor Xing's "struggling against all opinions".Professors from many faculties were invited to participate.I ate all over the restaurants in the old city with Professor Xing, a famous gourmet.I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to be invited.

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Professor Yan said with a chuckle, "I'm free anytime."

"Then tonight." Professor Xing said here, looking at Gu Chen: "At two o'clock this afternoon, Mr. Li was invited to come to University A to give a speech to the students. We will have an afternoon at that time , Talk to Mr. Li face to face. If it goes well, you can invite Mr. Li to take a half-day tour of his hometown after the conversation. In the evening, we will have dinner at a restaurant in the old city. This old restaurant is when Mr. Li did not move to Hong Kong Island. , a restaurant I often go to.”

Gu Chen smiled slightly, hoping that everything would be a matter of course.

At 01:30 in the afternoon, all students of University A gathered in the student hall.Mr. Li hasn't arrived yet.According to Professor Xing, Mr. Li flew to City A at one o'clock in the afternoon. University A has sent a special car to pick him up.

"Are you trying to persuade Mr. Li to fund and support the plan to develop the old city in the west?" While waiting, Zhou Xiaoting leaned next to Gu Chen and asked in a low voice.

Gu Chen glanced at Zhou Xiaoting, and it was not surprising that Zhou Xiaoting knew about it.

"You are amazing." Zhou Xiaoting's mood was a bit complicated: "My dad and my elder brother also said that I didn't expect you, a freshman freshman, to make such a loud noise."

Ever since Gu Chen started the essay contest on Weibo, the Zhou family and his son have been paying close attention to the direction of this matter.At first, I thought that Gu Chen was just hanging out banners to sell houses, using the few contacts he had contacted when selling houses at the sales office, gathering some customers to sponsor the essay solicitation activities, and using this to create a wave of influence, misleading the Urban Construction Bureau, and in the new business district Add a plus to the matter of site selection.

However, Gu Chen did not expect that from the essay competition to the micro-film competition, he would directly set off an upsurge of discussions on the Internet about "whether to maintain and renovate or to demolish and rebuild".Not only has it attracted the attention of netizens from all walks of life, it has even triggered an upsurge of debate in the economic and cultural circles and historical circles.Directly turn a matter that no one cares about into the focus of social and people's livelihood.And in the direction of public opinion, it has caused serious public opinion pressure on the Dongcheng faction who advocated "overthrowing and rebuilding".

It wasn't until this time that Zhou's father and son realized that they really underestimated Gu Chen.But they didn't let it go.In the past few days, there have been rumors on the Internet that the article that Gu Chen published on "The Economist" was not written by himself.Xing Changlian, who was in charge of finishing the article nomination, is the main author of this article.Gu Chen just provided some raw data.He also said that the reason why Professor Xing chose Gu Chen as the first author was because the two had private money transactions.Gu Chen made money for Professor Xing by speculating in stocks.In return, Professor Xing will help Gu Chen write his thesis.

This kind of gossip, which was originally circulated secretly among the graduate students of University A, suddenly spread on the Internet, and it became very popular overnight.The problem of academic corruption within universities has always been concerned by the whole society.What's more, Gu Chen's recent essay competition and micro film competition have pushed him to the forefront.For a while, rumors spread, although no one has officially mentioned it on the stage.But Gu Chen was also fully prepared.Just wait for the right time to fight back.

As a friend and relative of both parties, Zhou Xiaoting, caught in the whirlpool, also sensed something was wrong.But she didn't know what to do, so she could only carefully remind Gu Chen: "If there is a misunderstanding, explain it clearly in time. Don't make things worse."

Gu Chen didn't like Zhou's father and son.He even waited for the Zhou family to make a big fuss before he could do it.But his grievances with Zhou's father and son have nothing to do with Zhou Xiaoting.There is no need to involve Zhou Xiaoting in the intrigue between them.

Seeing that Gu Chen didn't take it seriously, Zhou Xiaoting's expression darkened.
