Confession of Rebirth

A group of people drove into Xicheng District, and the closer they got to the Confucius Temple, the more excited Mr. Li became.Chatted with Gu Chen and Zhao Shu a lot about the past when they were young.Gu Chen is not from City A, so he doesn't have a deep impression of that time.Zhao Shu is an authentic local, and when he was a child, he used to swim in summer and ice-skate in winter to smoke ice monkeys.

When passing the Confucius Temple, Mr. Li even got out of the car at Zhao Shu's suggestion, went into the temple to burn a stick of incense, asked for a talisman, and walked around the temple. The cameraman followed behind and took pictures all the way.Gu Chen said with a smile: "When the film is finished editing, I will send you the video. Keep it as a souvenir."

"Very good." Mr. Li nodded, pointed to his assistant and said, "Just contact Kevin when the time comes."

Gu Chen smiled at Mr. Li's assistant, and the two exchanged contact information.

Kevin also took the initiative to tell Gu Chen his personal contact information, and said with a meaningful smile: "I think we should have a great chance in the future, and there will be a chance to connect."

Gu Chen hooked the corner of his mouth: "I accept your good words."

Next to the Confucius Temple is the lotus pond.It was winter, but the frozen lotus pond was as lively as if the dumplings had been cooked.Tourists in heavy clothes can be seen walking back and forth on roller skates everywhere.Professor Xing and Mr. Li were so excited that they even sat on the sledge for a while.I played hoops, balloons, and darts along the small stall next to the lotus pond, but unfortunately I didn't hit anything in the end.

Mr. Li also bought candy figurines of the Chinese zodiac and distributed them to everyone.

Just walking around like this, when the group arrived at the braised meat shop, it was already dark.Under the dim light of the street lamps, the facade of the stewed meat shop looked even more outdated.Mr. Li looked a little dazed.

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Let's go in! Buy two catties of sauced beef, buy a sauced elbow, and use a pig's ear to shoot a cucumber. I just called my grandpa, and he said he would cook Beijing sauced pork himself. Si, please eat."

Mr. Li smiled and said, "I haven't eaten such an authentic local dish for a long time."

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "It's just home-cooked food. There is no way to compare it with the chef's craftsmanship. Just as long as you don't dislike it."

"That's the only thing I was thinking about!" Mr. Li shook his head: "The taste of home-cooked food cannot be prepared by any restaurant or star chef."

"It's just too annoying."

"My grandparents are very hospitable." Zhao Shu said with a smile, "They like me to bring people home for dinner."

While talking, a group of people arrived at Yangwei Street.The alleys are too narrow for cars to get in.The big guys got out of the car and walked to Zhao's courtyard.With the help of his assistant, Mr. Li touched the blue bricks on the wall all the way, listening to the bustling voices, and smelling the aroma of food wafting from the kitchens from door to door, as if he had returned to decades ago in a trance.

"This is the taste of humanity." Mr. Li said with emotion: "It's a pity that such a good place should be demolished."

Gu Chen and Professor Xing looked at each other and smiled.

When we arrived at Grandpa Zhao Shu's house, Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao, who had already received the letter, were already busy in the kitchen.The rich aroma of food wafted out from the kitchen. Mr. Li sniffed, and asked in surprise, "Have you made a chive box?"

"It seems to be." Zhao Shu chuckled: "This food has a strong taste, but it is very delicious."

Zhao Shu led him into the main room.The brewed tea and melon seeds and peanuts are already set on the table.Zhao Shu asked everyone to sit down first, and went to the kitchen to find grandparents.

Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao's meal was also ready. They cut up the cooked food bought by Zhao Shu and put it on a plate. They also patted cucumbers with pig's ears and mixed them with a cold dish.Gu Chen also followed into the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

It is said that Zhao's family treats guests, taking care of Grandpa and Grandma Zhao's age, it is impossible for the two old people to really set up a big table.I just cook two dishes, and the rest of the dishes are takeaways that Gu Chen ordered from an old restaurant nearby.

When the dishes were ready, Mr. Li, Professor Xing and several other guest professors, as well as Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao sat at a table, Gu Chen, Zhao Shu, Mr. Li's assistant, and seniors from the filming team sat at a table.While eating, listen to the old people chatting about ancient times.

Chatting and chatting, some old neighbors came to visit.The scene suddenly became more lively.A group of people chattered about the past, and talked about decades ago when everyone was not rich, and only one or two families on a street could afford a TV.When TV dramas are broadcasting in the evening, I can't wait for the whole street to gather at that house, move a few benches in the yard and sit, and being able to crack two melon seeds is considered a luxury.

Gu Chen had never heard of these things before, and was listening intently, when he suddenly received a call from Zhong Lisui.

Gu Chen picked up the phone and left the main room, and stood under the eaves to answer the phone.Hearing the other end of the phone, Zhong Li asked with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Li went to University A to give a speech this afternoon. How is it? Have you persuaded Mr. Li to invest in the development of the old city?"

"We are now listening to the old man talk about ancient times in the old city. We are going to impress Mr. Li with our feelings." While speaking, Gu Chen broke the ice skates under the eaves with his hands: "What about you? Have you had dinner yet?"

"Not yet." Zhong Li glanced at the unfinished documents in his hand: "I have a lot of work today. I have to work overtime again."

"I ate a leek box tonight," Gu Chen said with a smile, "It's quite delicious."

Zhong Li then smiled: "You mean, if we have time some other day, let's go eat together?"

"Forget it." Gu Chen shook his head, thinking of the smell of the leek box, he decided to maintain his image: "I just want to say that even if you work overtime, you can still have a good meal."

Zhong Li then called Gu Chen, originally wanting to find out whether Gu Chen's plan to win over foreign businessmen was going well or not.Unexpectedly, the topic suddenly turned to the leek box.It made Zhong Lisui a little hungry.However, he still insisted on finishing the serious matter: "The economic seminar next Monday will finalize the location of the new commercial center. Are you sure about it?"

"It depends on human effort." Gu Chen said.In fact, what he wants to say is that it is up to people to make things happen.But that's too negative a word.Gu Chen felt that it was really unnecessary.

Zhong Lisui said: "I will also be invited to attend the economic seminar next Monday."

Gu Chen frowned: "Tiansui Capital also wants to invest in new business circles?"

"Director Sun of the Urban Construction Bureau was very interested in Tiansui Capital's sponsorship of the essay competition. He called me specifically and asked if Tiansui Capital was interested in investing in the real estate industry."

Zhong Lisui said euphemistically: "I told him that if it is profitable and beneficial to the common people, our Tiansui Capital also has a high sense of social responsibility."

Gu Chen understood what Zhong Lisui meant.He frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Business is business." Gu Chen said, "If you really think the return on investment of this project is good, you might as well think carefully about it."

Zhongli then smiled: "Okay. I'll listen to you and think carefully."

Gu Chen hung up the phone.Throw the ice skate in your hand out of the corridor.The seemingly hard ice skates hit the ground and immediately shattered into pieces.

The next morning, the owners who had bought a house in Dazhou Group suddenly collectively posted on the official Weibo of Aite Dazhou Group on the Internet, complaining that the sales manager of Dazhou Tianxia cooperated with the decoration company internally and externally, and cut corners to deceive customers about decoration material fees——

Recently, Dazhou Group has done a lot of marketing publicity in order to be listed on the Hong Kong stock market.Coupled with the "sales department junior incident" some time ago, netizens still remember it.Although Dazhou Group's public relations were timely, it did not cause too much negative impact.However, such scandals that broke out one after another still made the netizens who eat melons everywhere smell the breath of gossip.

"...Why is it this Da Zhou Group again?"

"It's another money-sex transaction, and it's another scam to cheat the owner of the decoration money. Why does the sales department of the Dazhou Group always have troubles?"

"When the sales department signs a house purchase contract with the owner, it is normal to directly recommend the decoration company to the owner to get a kickback. But while recommending the decoration company, at the same time cooperating with the decoration company to cut corners and materials to cheat the owner of the decoration fee, that would be too much ?”

The world of adults is mostly daily necessities.But when it comes to money, it is definitely not a trivial matter.If we say that the previous "female employees in the sales department of Dazhou Group have money and sex transactions" is just a romantic news that makes everyone sigh with emotion after dinner.It might even make some people wonder.So this time the sales manager and the decoration team Yingwai co-pit the owner's money, which really angered the netizens.
