Chapter 638 Love in Water City

On the fourth day after arriving in the island country, according to the original itinerary plan, Chen Li should be preparing to head to Hong Kong Island at this moment.

But as the boss, Chen Li has complete control over this trip.

After all, he went to the port city just to escape and relax.

The reason why I went to Hong Kong City to escape and relax was because relatively speaking, staying there would be much more comfortable than staying in a foreign country.

But now Chen Li had other goals, so he naturally changed his itinerary accordingly.

As for his decision, it is naturally impossible for others to object.

In fact, both Zhang Ruolan and Wu Minyi knew very well that Chen Li came out this time to hide from some people.

If it weren't for this reason, Chen Li probably wouldn't have come to the island country.

Therefore, regarding Chen Li's reason for temporarily changing his itinerary, others only thought that Chen Li would continue to hide and was not even willing to go to Hong Kong City.

Needless to say, Zhang Ruolan, as a personal assistant, she has to be where Chen Li is.

And to be honest, for her as an assistant, this business trip was quite comfortable.

Mainly because this trip is not a business trip, and besides, the boss Chen Li is also very generous.

Every time he goes on a business trip, Chen Li always gives people around him a certain share of the shopping fund. The size of the money generally depends on how much benefit the business trip brings to the company or to Chen Li, the boss.

So far, the largest bonus Zhang Ruolan received was when she followed Chen Li to Hong Kong City.

As an assistant, she went to Hong Kong City with Chen Li in order to settle a sum of funds.

At that time, Chen Li waved his hand and gave Mu Xiaoqing a bonus of three million US dollars. Even her entourage also received a shopping fund of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.

However, Zhang Ruolan did not use the money for shopping, but bought a house.

Zhang Ruolan learned this from Chen Li, because Chen Li often mentioned that housing prices in Yanjing City would soon rise.

Zhang Ruolan has been able to work as Zhou Bowen's secretary for so many years and as Chen Li's assistant, so her ability and vision are certainly not bad.

If someone else often says this to their boss, they might think that the boss is complaining.

But in Zhang Ruolan's ears, this might be an opportunity.

So now Zhang Ruolan, Sister Zhang, owns four houses in Yanjing City, all of which were purchased in full.

Uh~ Okay! In fact, at this time, it is not popular to buy a house with a loan in China.

Not to mention that people who want to buy a house are unwilling to take out a loan, some real estate developers have not even opened up channels for getting a loan to buy a house.

Of course, there are fewer and fewer of these people now, and words like down payment, installment, and loan are becoming the daily life of ordinary people.

However, Zhang Ruolan belongs to the high-income group, at least for now, she doesn’t need any loan at all.

And not only that, her house purchase was even approved by Chen Li, and she said that if she needed help, she could go to him directly.

It was this sentence that not only strengthened Zhang Ruolan's confidence in continuing to buy a house, but also made her full of expectations for her future.

Hmm~ Actually, it’s strange!

Chinese people seem to be born with an obsession with buying houses and land.

Whether it is the older generation or the young people of the new era, this kind of behavior is almost engraved in everyone's bones.

Chen Li remembers a very nonsense topic in his previous life, which was whether to buy a house or a car first!

The reason why Chen Li thinks this topic is nonsense is mainly because in his opinion, it is a bullshit topic?

If you can only buy one thing, then you must buy a house first?

After all, you have a home only if you have a house!

As for the car, it’s not a necessity at all, right?

Well, of course, Chen Li was still relatively young at that time, and his life was actually very average. Anyway, he was not at the point where he needed a vehicle.

However, even if Chen Li is doing well, he will still think that he must buy a house first!

Chen Li remembered that there was a forum that held a poll on this issue, and then the number of people who voted to buy a house first was as high as 58%.

What? 58% is considered high?

Oh my god~ You know, this is a car forum, and people are doing this poll to promote a certain car.

To put it bluntly, that vote was definitely done behind closed doors, but even the car forum, which was operated behind closed doors, did not dare to put the option of buying a car first in the lead.

After all, they know very well that if "buy the car first" really comes out ahead, their vote will become a joke.

In addition, in the voting post at that time, a lot of people's comments were about buying a house first. When the results come out, buying a car first will win. That is nonsense.

Of course, Chen Li also has to admit that for some people, buying a car first is indeed more practical than buying a house first.

But to be honest, people who are in urgent need of vehicles usually do not do too badly.

In other words, for this kind of people, the difference between buying a house first and buying a car first is just a matter of time.

Just like Master Cheng!

As Chen Li's personal driver, Master Cheng actually owns a Xiali.

The main reason why he bought this car was because when he used to drive for Zhou Bowen, he would often work late.

At that time, there was definitely no public transportation, but taking a taxi for many years would naturally be expensive.

So at that time, Master Cheng and his wife discussed it and bought a Xiali as a means of transportation.

Of course, Master Cheng can actually use Zhou Bowen's bus. But in fact, the reason why Master Cheng is valued by Zhou Bowen as his driver is because Master Cheng has an upright character and is unwilling to take advantage of the company.

So, this thing is actually a drink and a peck!

But here’s the problem~ As a driver, even if it’s Zhou Bowen’s driver, his income can only be considered pretty good.

After buying a Xiali, I didn’t have enough money to buy a house in Yanjing.

Of course, in the eyes of Master Cheng and his wife, this is actually no problem.

After all, if they can save a car, they can also save a house.

It's a pity. What they didn't expect is that as time goes by, the price of cars has not changed much, but the housing price has undergone earth-shaking changes.

To be honest~ If Master Cheng had not followed Chen Li, Chen Li would not even know whether this previous life bought a house in Yanjing.

Of course, there is a high probability that I bought it. After all, the profession of driver was definitely a high-income group in the early days.

But even if they bought it, Chen Li estimated that in his previous life, Master Cheng's family probably spent all their family savings to buy a house.

After all, the Zhou family also collapsed in the previous life. I wonder what kind of job Master Cheng found later?

Of course ~ this is the past life, as for now!

Not to mention draining his savings, the shopping bonuses that Master Cheng received from several business trips with Chen Li were enough to buy a house.

In fact, he actually bought it, and even became neighbors with a certain apartment that Zhang Ruolan bought.

And all of this actually has a lot to do with Chen Li.

To put it bluntly~ Zhang Ruolan, Master Cheng, and even many people in the company all have a special obsession with buying a house because of Chen Li's influence.

Including Su Mei~Deng Weimin~Ren Xiaobo and others, even though some of them no longer work in Yanjing, their behavior of buying houses has not stopped.

The most exaggerated one is the new deputy general manager Zhang of the food company this year. It is said that he spent almost all his salary to buy a house.

In daily life, food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc. are almost all paid for and reimbursed by the company!

Logically speaking, such behavior should actually make the boss Chen Li dissatisfied.

But this Vice President Zhang is definitely a good person. Even when he takes advantage of the company, he doesn't hide it behind closed doors, but takes advantage of it generously.

Manager Su Mei and Su mentioned this matter several times, but in the end, Vice President Zhang took the bill directly into the boss's office.

And the most speechless and puzzling thing happened, the young boss Chen Li actually signed.

Although Chen Li was heard scolding Vice President Zhang in the office at that time, he still signed the word in the end.

This made Zhang Ruolan think for a long time before she figured out the twists and turns. Finally, her consciousness told her that the future of Vice President Zhang was absolutely unlimited.

As for the reason, it seemed particularly simple after Zhang Ruolan figured it out.

Because Vice President Zhang has no problems at all in terms of work, except for taking advantage of the company in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Even this person relied on his own ability to directly lead the people to conquer the entire East China market.

Based on this alone, Vice President Zhang’s contribution is not inferior to Su Mei, General Manager of the food company.

You must know that although Su Mei is diligent, the development of the food company under her leadership can only be regarded as steady development.

Of course, a big reason for this is the company's early development plan, but many people still think that Vice President Zhang's ability exceeds that of General Manager Su Meisu.

This is actually not surprising~Su Mei and Xiao Zhang were actually halfway through becoming monks.

But the difference is that Su Mei was a teacher at first, and after joining Ideal Fried Chicken, she directly became a manager.
