Confession of Rebirth

Sun is always kind.But Gu Chen was still worried.He doesn't believe in general moral conduct.It's like not believing that a gambler will turn his back on his ways.

The project of developing the commercial street in the old city is too important, and Gu Chen doesn't want to lose everything because of his negligence.So there are some people and things, Gu Chen would rather be more cautious than take risks.

When Gu Chen returned to Professor Xing's house, Teacher Qi was cooking dinner.Xing Lu looked at the slightly tired Gu Chen: "Is there anything I can help with?"

Gu Chen shook his head, and went into the study to report the work progress to Professor Xing.

Professor Xing admired Gu Chenla's means of sponsoring.But he never expected that when Gu Chen went out, he not only got sponsors, but also found so many brands.

"Thanks to Mr. Sun's help. They are willing to introduce artists to endorse brands for us." Gu Chen said: "I will go to Jiliwala's headquarters tomorrow to finalize the various procedures for live broadcast sales."

After saying this, Gu Chen pondered for a while.

Seeing this, Professor Xing asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Chen thought for a while, but still said: "There is one thing, I am a little undecided."

As Gu Chen said, he still told Professor Xing the whole story of Mr. Yu: "...In this situation, if we can win the contestants of "Angel's Voice" to help us promote it, it will definitely have a multiplier effect .but I'm really worried..."

Gu Chen didn't say what he was worried about, but Professor Xing understood: "You don't believe him?"

Gu Chen nodded.

Professor Xing smiled: "Then don't cooperate."

Gu Chen was a little confused: "But——"

Professor Xing said: "You don't trust him. Even if you reluctantly cooperate with him for a short-term goal, you will worry about what will happen to him during the cooperation process. This worry may affect your future. emotions and judgments that distract you. Once you’re not fully focused on your project work, you’re likely to make mistakes.”

"Instead of making mistakes because you're worried about making mistakes, it's better not to cooperate in the first place. You can concentrate on dealing with other things, and you can do as much as you can." Seeing Gu Chen hesitated to speak, Professor Xing posed Waving his hands, he said in a gentle voice: "Gu Chen, this project is not your responsibility alone. You have done a good job. Far beyond our imagination."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't force yourself. It's man-made."

Gu Chen looked at Professor Xing.

Professor Xing said with a smile: "That's it. I think you have already found a lot of brands and sponsors. We will go all out to do our best. As long as we can fully express our folk commercial street Its core competitiveness and operating model are valuable. I believe that the goal of [-] million is not important."

Gu Chen blurted out: "Why is it not important? After setting a goal, isn't it just to accomplish it?"

If it is not completed, God knows what those investors who support the development of Dongcheng District will say.

Professor Xing shook his head with a smile: "Sometimes, setting goals is to complete tasks. Sometimes, setting goals is to gain motivation to move forward."

Professor Xing looked at Gu Chen: "You are still young. You can do the latter one."

Hearing Professor Xing's words, Gu Chen suddenly thought of another sentence: But if you do good deeds, don't worry about your future.

Are goals just for motivation?

Gu Chen thought of the after-school homework assigned to him by Professor Xing, as well as the list of books, which seemed to emphasize that Gu Chen read as much as possible and wrote as much as possible, and did not ask Gu Chen to read them all.

Is this the difference between academics and entrepreneurs?

Gu Chen was a little curious.But inexplicably, after listening to Professor Xing's words, the sense of urgency that has been pressing on him and making people breathless is really not so great.It was as if a small hole had been punctured by a needle in the inflated balloon, and the pressure was slowly released.

Seeing this, Professor Xing said with a smile: "I see you have lost weight over the past year. Your teacher's mother stewed chicken soup at night, you should drink more."

So that night, Gu Chen drank three full bowls of chicken soup.Early the next morning, I went to Jiliwala's headquarters to discuss cooperation.

In the next few days, the manager of Mr. Sun's film and television company also finalized the cooperation with the brands endorsed by the artist.Most of the brand parties paid attention to Gu Chen's previous essay solicitation activities and micro film competitions.It is also known that the sponsors of this event earned a high degree of brand exposure and communication during the event.Sales have also doubled several times.Knowing that Gu Chen was going to hold a February [-] market and a live broadcast event, these brand owners hardly thought about it, and immediately agreed.He also took the initiative to find Gu Chen to pay the booth fee.

Gu Chen got the brand's information, and then went to negotiate with a certain treasure for online shopping and external links on the day of the live broadcast, as well as related logistics cooperation.Strive to handle all online work properly.

On the other side, people from the props team also worked with the masters from the Bureau of Cultural Relics to decorate the scene of the February 2000 market.After more than half a month of intense preparations, the [-]-meter-long temporary market surrounding the Confucius Temple and the lotus pond was finally built on the day before February [-].

After asking the relevant departments to check and accept, Gu Chen immediately arranged for the brand to enter the market.

The 2000-meter market is decorated in an antique style, with red lanterns and plaques everywhere.A red dragon head was tied with a lantern.It means that the dragon raises its head on the second month of February.

The brands stationed here, as well as the food stall owners specially invited by Gu Chen, also put on Hanfu skirts and peddled along the street.

Gu Chen also asked the project team to set up two stalls, selling masks and headgear at the entrance of the market, and selling wishing river lanterns next to the lotus pond.They also invited people from the props team of President Sun Film and Television Company to move a lot of cleaned ancient props and costumes for rent at the entrance of the market.Through the relationship of Professor Qin, a poetry club was invited to set up a stall in the market to guess lantern riddles.It's not for making money, but mainly to give tourists who come to play more sense of participation.

In addition, Gu Chen also asked Professor Xing to apply for the step of setting off fireworks with the relevant departments.Hope to give visitors a surprise that night.

As for the artists invited to do the promotion and the UP owners of the Jiliwala website, they also "stepped on a little bit" at the market one day in advance to familiarize themselves with the locations of restaurants, taverns, teahouses and inns.Make sure that there will be no problems during the live broadcast the next day.

The headquarters of the Jiliwala website even started to rehearse the live broadcast room several days in advance to ensure that there will be no problems with the live broadcast signal.At the same time, the website also released three days in advance, and successively released video clips of the project team building the market, as well as the UP owner's advance checkpoints.Professor Qin and several other experts and scholars were also invited to explain to netizens the historical anecdote about the rise of the second dragon in February, which whetted the appetite of the audience.

Everything was ready, and on February [-]nd, early in the morning, countless tourists who had nothing to do came rushing to the fair.

In order to match the atmosphere, Gu Chen also changed into a cloak.He also actively lobbied Professor Xing's family to put on ancient costumes.Professor Xing was still a little awkward at first, but when he arrived at the market, he found that both Shen Xingzhou and Professor Qin were dressed in accordance with the atmosphere of the scene.Even Mr. Sun is dressed like Yuanwailang.

"It's been a long time since it's so lively!" Professor Qin looked at the crowded market and said with emotion, "After so many years, I think today is the most festive day."

"I'm just worried about how much we can sell today!" Shen Xingzhou frowned: "Is it impossible for [-] million?"

"It doesn't matter how much it is!" Professor Xing said: "As long as we can run this market in its entirety, make the common people have fun, and publicize everything that should be publicized. Then we will be successful."

"The event started at [-] o'clock in the evening, and there are only so many people now. Firefighting and personnel clearance must be done well." Director Sun of the Urban Construction Bureau was also invited to join in the fun. Seeing such a hot market scene, he couldn't help telling road.

"Don't worry about this! We have asked the relevant departments to review it before. There will be absolutely no problems."

While speaking, Gu Chen's phone rang suddenly.He took two steps back to answer the phone, and then Zhong Lisui said warmly, "I'm here."

"Where are you?" Gu Chen asked, and said, "I'll pick you up."

When Gu Chen walked to the intersection of the market, he saw Zhong Lisui standing quietly beside him in a black windbreaker.The people around were coming and going, laughing and talking loudly, and it seemed that they couldn't affect him at all.

Gu Chen walked up to Zhong Lisui, and asked with a smile, "You're just wearing a windbreaker, is it cold?"

Zhong Li looked at Gu Chen, who was wearing a silver-gray cloak and looked more and more handsome and elegant, and was slightly taken aback.

Gu Chen noticed Zhong Lisui's eyes and said, "I asked Mr. Sun to make this suit for me. It's the craftsmanship of their prop team. But the costumes that their prop team rented out today are all costumes worn by others. You Can not fit."

Zhong Li came back to his senses and said with a smile: "This market is really lively."

"That's where it is," Gu Chen said confidently, "It's more lively at night."

While talking, Gu Chen suddenly glanced at a person out of the corner of his eye.He felt a little familiar, and called out, "Boss Jiang?"

Jiang Mingfan didn't expect Gu Chen to catch him hiding in the crowd, and he was a little embarrassed.He walked forward with a smile: "What a coincidence, you are here too."

Zhong Lisui looked at Jiang Mingfan expressionlessly.

Jiang Mingfan immediately said: "Then what, Tiansui Capital wants to invest in the commercial street project in the old town! I'll come over today to experience the atmosphere for myself. Let's take a closer look at the operation mode of this folk commercial street. See if it's worth it. Not worth our investment."

Zhong Lisui still showed no expression.

Gu Chen smiled and said, "I hope Mr. Jiang will have a good time."

Jiang Mingfan touched his nose embarrassingly: "Definitely. Definitely."

Gu Chen asked again: "Jiang always came here alone?"

Just as Jiang Mingfan was about to answer, he met Shangfa's cold eyes and immediately said, "I came here with my colleagues. For project inspections, of course I have to bring my colleagues from the investment department with me."

Gu Chen smiled: "Then I won't—"

Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Jiang Mingfan immediately said, "Don't worry about me. You shop at yours, we shop at ours."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Gu Chen: "..."

Zhong Lisui looked at Fa Xiaofeng's furious back, and said warmly, "Let's go too."

Gu Chen came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Let's go."

Gu Chen looked at Zhong Lisui's slightly flimsy windbreaker, and said, "Let's go to the teahouse. The market activities don't start until eight o'clock in the evening, and the professor and the others are all sitting in the teahouse."

While drinking tea and chatting, while watching the background information of the Jiliwala website and a certain treasure.com, staring at the online transaction volume.

Zhong Lisui said: "It's rare to come out here, and it's so lively here. Let's go shopping first."

"That's fine." Gu Chen nodded, and said: "If you're cold, just tell me. Let's go to the teahouse and sit."

Gu Chen has followed the project team and the leaders of relevant departments for several times.I also checked the process several times with the brand.It can be said that he knows every corner of this market like the back of his hand.Know which stalls are delicious and where there are fun activities.

"...Don't look at the inconspicuous food stalls in the market. They are all found by Professor Xing's family. Our professor is a famous foodie. Where there is delicious food in city A, we can't hide it from the professor." Gu Chen As he said that, he stopped in front of a food stall, bought two bowls of sugar, and handed one of them to Zhong Lisui: "Try it. Ginger juice is added to it, which can drive away the cold."

Zhong Li then took the candy without throwing it away.Gu Chen was already eating while walking.Zhong Lisui watched Gu Chen's movements, thought for a while, and followed Gu Chen's example and ate one.As soon as you eat the snow-like dumplings, they are crispy and sweet, especially appetizing.

Zhong Lisui's feeling was a little strange.He lived for more than 20 years, and it was the first time he walked on the street to eat.

"How is it? Does it taste good?" Gu Chen looked at Zhong Lisui's reminiscing expression, and said with a smile, "There's a store in front that sells tofu skewers in chicken soup and radish balls. It's also very delicious."

Now that the chat has come to this point, Gu Chen asked casually: "Did you eat these things when you were young? It's the kind sold outside the school, fried chicken tenders, oden, grilled sausages, pancakes, grilled cold noodles... Hey, you guys It seems that there is no cold noodles."

Zhong Lisui looked at Gu Chen's lively appearance while eating while talking, and smiled warmly: "I haven't eaten."

Zhongli paused for a moment and said, "When I was young, I went to an international private school, and there were no food stalls selling these outside the school. Our family would send a driver to pick me up sooner or later, and I didn't have a chance to eat outside."

Gu Chen looked at Zhong Lisui and said with emotion: "That's right. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I wouldn't have been able to imagine you standing next to the roadside stall eating."

Zhong Li smiled and said, "Thank you."

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Why are you thanking me? I just treat you to a bowl of candy without throwing it away. There is no need to thank me so solemnly."

"It's not because of this." Zhong Lisui explained: "I just want to thank you for always bringing me different experiences."
