Confession of Rebirth

After the celebration banquet was over, Gu Chen originally wanted to go back to school directly, but Professor Xing did not agree.

"Your luggage is still at home, and you are busy going back to the dormitory right now, do you want to make another trip tomorrow morning?"

Gu Chen felt that Professor Xing's words made sense, so he followed the Xing family back to the Xing family.As a result, the next day didn't make it in the daytime. Teacher Qi made braised lamb chops and had to ask Gu Chen to finish dinner at home before asking Xing Lv to drive Gu Chen back to school.He also packed a box of braised lamb chops and two large packages of dried fruit snacks for Gu Chen, and asked Gu Chen to take them back to the dormitory and distribute them to his classmates.

When getting off the car, Xing Lv was very emotional: "My parents really like you very much. If you have time on weekends, can you often come to sit at home and accompany them?"

Gu Chen said with a smile: "I also like the professor and Teacher Qi very much. If I have time, I will visit them often."

Xing Lu looked at Gu Chen, and suddenly said, "Sorry."

Gu Chen was a little surprised: "Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?"

Xing Lu explained: "I was not familiar with you before, misunderstood you, and said those inappropriate things. I hope you don't take it to heart."

Knowing that Xing Lu was talking about stock trading, Gu Chen said with a smile, "You're right in reminding me. With my current status, I need to pay attention to some things. It's good for myself and Professor Xing."

Xing Lu smiled: "I will fly to country M next week. If you have any information or need my help with other things, remember to contact me at any time."

Gu Chen nodded: "You too. If you need my help, just tell me."

Gu Chen returned to the dormitory with his suitcase and two large packages of dried fruit snacks.The strong aroma of the braised lamb chops immediately attracted the attention of the roommates.Gao Haiyang sniffed: "What is so fragrant?"

"Looks like lamb!"

"It's the braised lamb chops made by my teacher." Gu Chen opened the lunch box and handed the braised lamb chops over: "I'll give you a taste."

"Wow!" The three roommates approached with bright eyes, Zhao Shu immediately grabbed one, and took a bold bite: "It smells so good!"

"This meat is not smelly at all. Master's wife is good at cooking."

"It's so delicious!" Gao Haiyang nodded, devouring the food, and still didn't forget to talk to Gu Chen: "We went to the February [-] market last night. We even saw the game booth of "Legend of Immortals and Demons", you It's too awesome!"

Gu Chen was a little surprised: "You guys went to the market, why didn't you call me?"

"Of course I went. How could my brothers miss such a lively scene! I even spent 40 yuan to make a pair of small clay figurines with your sister Weiwei!" Gao Haiyang said, pointing to the clay figurines on the desk, Very proud.

Zhao Shu explained: "I knew you must have been very busy yesterday, so we didn't call you. Anyway, the market was quite lively, and everyone had a great time."

When Zhao Shu said this, he paused, and added: "Kevin also went. I saw the photo he posted in his circle of friends. I heard that Mr. Li also called to inquire about this matter. Look After seeing the photos sent by Kevin, I regret that I was in Hong Kong Island this year for Chinese New Year, and I couldn’t catch up with such a lively market.”

He Qingchen said: "The photos of the market yesterday were posted on the Internet. There are a lot of photos and videos on FB and Youtube, and many fans of artists have also uploaded the videos from the live broadcast to the Internet. The response has been good. "

Many foreign netizens commented on the video and praised the antique scenery of the February [-] market, and many overseas Chinese and students cried watching it.Obviously, the excitement of the February [-] market aroused the nostalgia of these overseas travelers.

"Did you go online yesterday? In the middle of the night, many netizens regretted that such a good market can only exist for one day. It is too wasteful. This morning I heard that the market will not be canceled for the time being. The tourists in the city are sightseeing, and everyone is very happy."

Zhao Shu said with emotion: "My grandparents said that there will be a place for walking in the future."

Zhao Shu said this, looked at Gu Chen, and thanked Gu Chen solemnly: "Gu Chen, thank you."

Gu Chen laughed dumbly: "Thank me for what?"

"If the project to develop the commercial street in the old city is really successful, the housing prices in that area will rise. My grandma's courtyard house will at least double." Zhao Shu said with a smile: "You said I can thank you You!"

Gao Haiyang exclaimed: "The courtyard house in your house is worth 8000 to [-] million now, right? If it is multiplied a few times, can it still be sold for several hundred million?"

Gu Chen interjected: "Brother Zhao's courtyard house is in a good location, and it's an old house left over from the late Qing Dynasty, so it can be regarded as a historical relic! It's worth the price."

"It's a matter of being 'a bit more expensive'!" Gao Haiyang's envious eyes almost turned green: "It's so quiet, and there is a rich second generation beside me!"

"This is a happy event, shouldn't we invite guests to dinner to celebrate?"

Zhao Shu joked: "Do you want to celebrate? I think you just want to take my meal!"

Gao Haiyang chuckled: "Just say you want to please!"

"Of course please." Zhao Shu was also very happy in his heart: "I'll treat you to supper tonight, and let's have some skewers."

Gao Haiyang hurriedly said: "Forget supper. The braised lamb chops that Gu Chen specially brought us should not be wasted. If you invite everyone to dinner tomorrow night, you won't be able to enjoy all the good times."

"Look at your little scheme!" Zhao Shu couldn't laugh or cry: "All right! Then I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."

Gao Haiyang's scheme succeeded, and he smiled very proudly.Eating the mutton chops that Gu Chen brought back, he still didn't forget to press for the manuscript: "...how are the remaining two mind-mapping books? You promised me that the manuscripts will be handed in before school starts."

Gu Chen has gotten used to it: "It's almost finished. Give me another week, and it's almost done."

Seeing this, Zhao Shu couldn't help shaking his head and complaining: "It's just a slapstick!"

"How do you talk!" Gao Haiyang glared at Zhao Shu: "What is Gao Papi? Did I crow in the middle of the night, or did I force you to become long-term workers? I am earnest and kind. I always urge my juniors to work hard!"

As he said that, Gao Haiyang suddenly remembered something, pulled out the suitcase from under the bed, and found several bags of vacuum-packed salted duck, rice noodles, and stinky tofu: "This is a specialty of our hometown. I have finished sharing the two of them. It's yours."

Seeing this, He Qingchen also said, "I brought it too. Just wait."

Zhao Shu looked at Gao Haiyang, then at He Qingchen, spread out his hands, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "I don't have anything to bring. Otherwise, what do you want to eat, I'll buy it for you?"

Before Gu Chen could speak, Gao Haiyang immediately complained, "You're being too perfunctory, aren't you?"

Zhao Shu was also a little embarrassed to be complained about.It would be fine if there were only two old classmates, Gao Haiyang and He Qingchen. We had been classmates for four years, and it didn't matter who didn't know who.But the key point is that this year there is a new elementary school boy like Gu Chen. Looking at Gao Haiyang, He Qingchen and Gu Chen have carefully prepared local specialties from their hometown, but he has not prepared anything.

Zhao Shu thought for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Why don't we go to my grandma's house tomorrow. How about I ask my grandma to make fried noodles for you? The fried noodles made by my grandmother are delicious."

Seeing that Gao Haiyang still wanted to talk, Gu Chen immediately said, "Okay! The fried noodles made by Grandma Zhao are very delicious, and I really want to eat them too."

Gao Haiyang muttered unconvinced: "Is this the kebab replaced by fried noodles?"

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "The skewers are skewers, and the noodles with fried sauce are fried noodles. I invite them both."

"That's about the same!" Gao Haiyang snorted.

The next afternoon, Zhao Shu drove to the courtyard with three roommates.Because Yangwei Hutong was too narrow to fit a car, Zhao Shu parked his car next to the lotus pond as usual.When I got out of the car, I happened to bump into Director Yi of the Bureau of Cultural Relics, Director Sun of the Urban Construction Bureau, and several other leaders of the city.Gu Chen had met the other party a few times.When I see you now, I will inevitably say hello.

Director Sun said casually: "The city has passed the project plan for the development of commercial streets in the old city. Now we need to finalize the specific planning scope, so we want to come over and inspect it on the spot. See which areas need to be demolished and which areas need to be protected. stand up."

The scope of protection that has been initially finalized is the Confucius Temple, Lotus Pond, Maoer Alley, Yubone Alley, Yangwei Street, Houermao Alley and Qingluo Alley.That's where Gu Chen held the February [-]nd market.The opinion of the city is to preserve all the cultural relics and buildings in this area, maintain and repair what should be maintained.Then, the wiring and heating problems of the courtyard house will be improved, and natural gas will be connected.Ensure the water and electricity of merchants.Then part of the surrounding shantytowns and urban villages will be demolished to create a new commercial street in the form of antique buildings.In this way, the scope of the new business district is sufficient.

At that time, a new subway line will be built according to this plan to ensure convenient transportation for new tourist attractions.

It's funny to say.Previously, the Western School wanted to promote the project plan of the commercial street in the old city, but it was difficult to make any progress due to various reasons.Now that Gu Chen has set up a February [-] market to let everyone see the consumption potential of the folk commercial street, it is those developers who are anxious to build a new business district in the shortest possible time.I heard that many investors from the east turned back on the spot after seeing the sales data of the February [-] market.Also urged relevant departments to invite tenders as soon as possible.

This is also an important reason why the city acted vigorously this time.

After parting from Director Yi and his group, Gao Haiyang said with emotion: "All the leaders of this city have come down for field inspections. It seems that this time it must be a sure thing. Your old neighbors in this area are going to be released."

"Didn't you listen to what the leader said! Our land is at most an increase in land prices. The shantytowns and urban villages that were classified into the demolition area are really paid. They can get cash." Zhao Shu shook his head. : "However, it would be nice if we could renovate the wiring and install natural gas. This courtyard house is so convenient to live in. My grandparents would not be happy if it were really demolished."

Passing by a stewed meat shop, Gu Chen went in and bought two catties of sauced beef, a sauced pork knuckle, four pig's trotters and a pig's ear.Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Didn't you say that this braised pork tastes mediocre?"

Gu Chen replied: "Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao love to eat."

Gao Haiyang raised his hand: "I like to eat too."

Zhao Shu asked back, "Is there anything you don't like?"

The four talked and laughed and entered the courtyard of Zhao Shu's grandfather's house.Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao are already rolling out noodles in the kitchen.It turned out that Zhao Shu mentioned fried noodles, even the noodles were rolled out by Grandma Zhao herself with a rolling pin.

Seeing this, Gu Chen felt a little embarrassed.I went into the kitchen and wanted to help Grandma Zhao roll out noodles, but was pushed back into the house by Grandma Zhao: "I don't need you. You don't know how to use strength. The noodles you roll out are not as strong as mine."

Zhao Shu also persuaded: "You all go into the house! I'll just help my grandparents. The kitchen is such a big place, and there are too many people to stand there. Besides, there is no etiquette for letting guests into the kitchen."

Grandpa Zhao said: "I don't need you either. You go into the room to chat with your classmates. Dinner will be served later."

When Zhao Shu heard the words, he no longer insisted.Back to the hall with three roommates.Not long after sitting down, a neighbor heard the news and rushed over.It turned out that these old neighbors all saw Gu Chen and his party chatting with the leader in the lotus pond.I hurried to find it, naturally to inquire about the news of the demolition.

Of course Gu Chen couldn't say that, Zhao Shu also knew the rules.Besides, there was really nothing to say about the few words they had just talked about.But the neighbors didn't believe it, and some people complained that Zhao Shu knew the news but didn't tell them.He was blocked by Grandpa Zhao who came into the house with fried noodles.

Grandpa Zhao sent people away half-jokingly and half-seriously, and turned to Gu Chen and said, "Don't worry about it. Those people don't necessarily want to inquire about any news, they just have nothing to do."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Shu sneered: "I think they just want to know which area will be demolished, so let's change the household registration in advance!"

It should be known that the demolition compensation at this time is distributed according to the head of the registered permanent residence.Therefore, many demolition households will change their household registrations before they are sure that their houses will be demolished and their household registrations have not been frozen. Try to increase the number of people on their household registrations.

"It's all unprofitable." Zhao Shu said: "But it's useless. Our area can't be moved in all likelihood. It can be directly transformed into a commercial street."

"That's good. Your grandpa and I don't like to make trouble." Grandma Zhao put the fried noodles on the table: "Eat."

After eating fried noodles, Zhao Shu sent three roommates back to school.As soon as he arrived downstairs in the dormitory, Gu Chen was stopped by someone.

When Gu Chen turned his head, he saw Gu Xiu standing under the streetlight with a gloomy face: "I received a call today, and Huo Mingzhang told me not to go to Huo's Group for an internship. He said he would arrange another job for me. Are you talking to me?" What did he say?"

Because of this matter, Gu Xiu couldn't stay at home anymore.Fly back to City A two days in advance.He just wanted to ask Gu Chen face to face - he suspected that Gu Chen must have said something to Huo Mingzhang, otherwise why would Huo Mingzhang ask him to resign from the Huo Group for no reason?

Gao Haiyang subconsciously stood in front of Gu Chen: "The surname Huo won't let you go to work in their house, so you go to the surname Huo to ask the reason. You came here to ask Gu Chen what to do. Do you think this is still your house? What do you think? How can you be wild?"

Gu Xiu's face was livid with anger: "I'm talking to Gu Chen, it has nothing to do with you."

"Gu Chen doesn't want to talk to you." Gao Haiyang said impatiently, "Stay where you are cool."

After finishing speaking, Gao Haiyang dragged Gu Chen to go upstairs.

Gu Xiu then followed, ran up to Gu Chen, and blocked her with both arms: "No! You have to make it clear to me today! Gu Chen, you are too despicable, right? Just because my parents treat me better, you are jealous, Just ran to Huo Mingzhang and said bad things about me, and asked him to fire me. Don't you think your behavior is too much?"

Although it's not the time to start school yet, many students have rushed back one after another in the past two days.Seeing the two brothers Gu Chen and Gu Xiu confronting each other at the door of the dormitory building, some students excitedly took out their mobile phones and started secretly taking pictures.

Gu Chen was too lazy to talk to Gu Xiu, so he took out his mobile phone and called Huo Mingzhang: "You fired Gu Xiu, come down and explain to him yourself. Take care of your people, don't let him bother me."

Gu Xiu's expression changed, and she went up to snatch Gu Chen's phone: "Gu Chen, what do you mean? Are you deliberately using Huo Mingzhang to suppress me?"

"Don't you want to know the reason why you were fired by the Huo Group?" Gu Chen avoided Gu Xiu's hand: "You dare not ask Huo Mingzhang, come to me. I don't know what the hell is going on between you and Huo Mingzhang .”

"It's clear that you're playing tricks!" Gu Xiu blurted out, "You're just jealous of me! Jealous of my parents treating me better than you!"

"That's my own parents. Ken is kind to you, the child you picked up. Shouldn't you be grateful to Dade? How can you have the cheek to use such things to annoy your own son?" Gao Haiyang couldn't stand it anymore, and pointed Gu Xiu snorted and scolded: "Are you still shameless? Don't you dare to bully his son like this because Gu Chen's parents are good to you. You are very proud, right? On the second day of the new year, you forced your own son I can't stay in my own home anymore, so I went back to city A to work overtime. You stayed at home comfortably, and you turned the shit bowl on Gu Chen!"

"You still have the face to ask why the Huo Group dismissed you! I ask you, which employee who works normally dare not come back to work until February [-]? You stay at home for such a long time without going to work, even if you are absent from work, you will be resigned Or is it that you didn't abide by the personnel assessment system at all when you were working in Huo's Group, and you can work as you want?"

Gao Haiyang's few words left Gu Xiu speechless.He could only stare at him angrily: "What's the matter with you?"

"It's none of my business! But you can't bully Gu Chen in front of me!" What Gao Haiyang wanted to say, Huo Mingzhang hurried down.

"Gu Xiu!" Huo Mingzhang glanced at Gu Chen and asked, "What are you doing?"

Seeing Huo Mingzhang, Gu Xiu subconsciously restrained her arrogance: "I, I—"

"Firing you is my decision, and it has nothing to do with Gu Chen." Huo Mingzhang said: "Didn't we talk on the phone? If you have any questions about this matter, you can ask me directly. Why bother Gu Chen? "

"I didn't—" Gu Xiu hesitated to speak: "I just suspect... It was Gu Chen who said something in front of you that made you fire me."

Before Huo Mingzhang opened his mouth, Zhao Shu said directly: "Gu Chen has been preparing for the February [-] market since he came back, and he is free today. He has no time to do such boring things at all. Don't try to provoke discord, I thought everyone was so shameless."

Being scolded like this in front of Huo Mingzhang, Gu Xiu couldn't accept it, her eyes turned red immediately: "What did you say?"

He Qingchen said: "Zhao Shu means that Gu Chen is very busy and has no time to do boring things."

Zhao Shu ignored Gu Xiu, and looked at Huo Mingzhang with a serious face: "You two should solve the matter by yourself, and don't involve innocent people. We are all adults, and we are busy with work and study. Time to accompany you to play dog ​​blood romance drama."

Huo Mingzhang didn't expect that Zhao Shu would dare to talk to him like this, so he laughed back angrily: "Who are you, and you deserve to talk about me?"

Gu Chen stood in front of Zhao Shu and confronted him tit-for-tat: "Who are you, you're making trouble for me, and you dare to murder my friend?"

Huo Mingzhang took a deep breath and barely suppressed his anger: "I didn't expect Gu Xiu to come to you—"

"There are so many things you didn't expect, so please think about it before you do it, and use your brain more." Gu Chen said, "I don't care what you fire Gu Xiu for. If Gu Xiu comes to trouble me next time, I'll put the blame on you. The Huo Group and the Da Zhou Group have always been in the same spirit, do you think you can avenge the Da Zhou Group by pestering me with such a dog skin plaster and slandering me everywhere? "

Huo Mingzhang's expression changed: "I've said it all, I didn't expect Gu Xiu to come to you, do you really want to miss me that much?"

"Then take care of your people." Gu Chen glanced at Gu Xiu: "You'd better take care of yourself too. Don't do things to humiliate yourself. Don't be too sentimental—"

"I really have no interest in insulting you."

After Gu Chen finished speaking, he passed the two dull-looking people and went straight upstairs.Gao Haiyang, Zhao Shu, and He Qingchen followed closely behind.

After returning to the dormitory, He Qingchen comforted him, "Don't pay attention to that kind of person, you're not clear-headed."

Gao Haiyang answered: "You don't need to be angry. With this kind of cerebral palsy, it would seem very stupid of us to be angry with him."

"I'm not angry." Gu Chen took out the two books "Audit" and "Accounting" from the bookshelf: "I'm going to the common room to draw a mind map, is there any one of you?"

"I'll go!" He Qingchen said, "Wait for me."

Gu Chen and He Qingchen studied in the common room until eleven o'clock in the evening, and then went back to the dormitory to rest.When I got up at six o'clock the next morning, I met three pairs of curious eyes.

"Didn't you get up at four o'clock to endorse?" Gao Haiyang asked gossipingly, "Has the time changed?"

"The professor asked me to sleep seven hours a day." Gu Chen explained, "Let me have enough sleep, so that I can have better energy to study."

"That's right!" Gao Haiyang said with emotion: "Last semester, you studied every day at [-] or [-] o'clock in the middle of the night, and got up at four o'clock in the morning to study. I am really worried that your body will not be able to resist it, and you will become Mediterranean at a young age."

Gu Chen: "..."

He Qingchen couldn't help but burst out laughing, and asked Gu Chen, "What are your plans for today?"

Gu Chen said: "Draw a mind map, finish drawing early and be free early."

He Qingchen immediately said: "Then I'll go with you. Let's have breakfast first, and then go directly to the library."

Gu Chen nodded.

The other three waited for Gu Chen to wash up and went to the cafeteria together.Unexpectedly, I saw many students whispering to them on the road.Gao Haiyang frowned, and immediately moved closer.A few minutes later, he ran back with a "fucking" expression on his face: "Fucking hell, are you on the Internet? The confrontation between us and Gu Xiu at the door of the dormitory building last night was posted on the Internet!"

Zhao Shu and He Qingchen looked at each other, and immediately took out their mobile phones to log in to Xiaonei.

In contrast, Gu Chen's performance was very calm.Still thinking about whether to eat custard buns or Xiaolongbao in the morning.As a result, before he entered the cafeteria, he was overwhelmed by a phone call from Professor Xing——

"Let me go to a seminar on the demolition scope of the commercial street project in the old city?"

Gu Chen was stunned.What can he do?Draw a circle!
