Chapter 88 Arrangements and Dinner

In the mid-1990s, affected by the bursting of the real estate bubble in the South China Sea, housing prices across the country were sluggish. Even the houses in the center of Pujiang were only more than 3,000 yuan per square meter, and Yuncheng was even lower. The house prices were low, so the rent was naturally low. This luxury and finely decorated house cost 1,000 yuan per month, which was a sky-high price for ordinary people. Therefore, they were not rented out for two or three months, and there were not even many people who came here to see it.

Du Qiu did not see the "beautiful and elegant" Miss Zhou as mentioned by the agent. She only signed a rental contract with an old lady about sixty years old. Before signing the contract, she made a request to replace the door lock of the security door. The old lady agreed readily and accompanied him to find a locksmith in person. After the replacement, she took away the old lock with great effort and said that she would change it back when the rent was cancelled, so that everyone would rest assured.

After finishing his work, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. When Du Qiu returned home, he saw the door of Wang Yong's house opposite, and Wang Yong's wife sat with Jiang Danfeng in the living room chatting. Seeing the familiar look of the two, she seemed to have been chatting for a long time.

"Du Qiu, you are finally back. Danfeng has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Mr. Du."

Du Qiu looked at Jiang Danfeng, who was a little depressed, then looked at her dragged suitcase, and said, "There is no overtime pay when you go to work in advance."

Jiang Danfeng had already had a premonition that Du Qiu would say something strange in a cold face, but he didn't feel cold when he heard it, but instead felt very warm, because the subtext of this sentence was to take her in. His originally gloomy mood immediately improved, so he frowned and drooped the corners of his mouth, made a grimace that was about to cry, and said, "I know."

"Oh Danfeng, you are really funny. My Xiaoya's expression is so funny every time she is wronged." Wang Yong's wife is Liu Xiaoju, a very enthusiastic and cheerful housewife. She supported her waist with one hand and stood up from the sofa and explained: "Danfeng quarreled with her parents and ran over to join you as the boss. As a result, you were not at home, so she stood outside at the stairs and waited for more than an hour. If I hadn't opened the door and saw the garbage, I would have to stand for more than an hour before I could come back."

"Is that true?"

After a few gossips from Du Qiu and Mrs. Wang Yong, they opened the door of their own room and asked Jiang Danfeng to go in, saying, "You can make do with it on the sofa or study tonight. I will arrange a place for you tomorrow."

"OK."

"I'm going to have dinner with Principal Chen tonight. You can go there together, find the box of cigars and take them as a gift."

"OK."

Du Qiu didn't ask why Jiang Danfeng had a quarrel with her parents, and she didn't say anything. At around 5:30 pm, Du Chunhua got off work early and took Lin Jinyan back from kindergarten. She was a little surprised when she saw Jiang Danfeng. After chatting for a while, she learned the cause and effect. She immediately turned the situation around and made a final judgment, asking Du Qiu to go to the sofa and give the bedroom to Jiang Danfeng.

"Brother, you are Danfeng's boss after all. Even if you don't know how to be polite, you should be more considerate of your subordinates. This will increase the morale and loyalty of your employees and work for you better."

"I slept on the sofa and she slept on the bedroom. Wouldn't I lose the majesty of being a boss?"

"This is home, not a hotel, nor an office! Besides, Wu Qi licked the wounds of the injured soldiers."

Chen Zhiyang also invited Du Chunhua to the evening. After teaching Du Qiu a few words, she went to the bedroom to take off the small suit she wore when she was working, changed into a loose blouse with rock lime, and washed blue jeans, which looked elegant and fashionable. If the house she rented in the afternoon refreshed Du Qiu’s impression of domestic home decoration in the 1990s, then this outfit refreshed his impression of domestic popular clothing in the 1990s.

Mom, you are so trendy...

This style is not at all old-fashioned until 2016...

Jiang Danfeng, contrary to Du Chunhua, changed the gorgeous floral long skirt to a business-oriented windbreaker and skirt. She was tall, had a round face and generous facial features. After she tied up her long hair, she didn't look like a little secretary, but more like a big star.

In comparison, Du Qiu's clothes are the most ordinary, which are the three-piece sets commonly used by programmers: plaid shirts, khaki pants and canvas shoes. Fortunately, he is tall and has a bit of a clean erotic attitude, and is very clean. He doesn't care about the price when standing with two beauties.

When Su Wenxiu came back at around 6 o'clock, Lin Jinyan had someone to take care of him, the three of them took a taxi to Sanjiang University. Get off the bus at the south gate of the school and saw Chen Zhiyang's secretary Gao Mingda standing next to an Audi, and had been waiting for him for a long time.

When Chen Zhiyang visited the company last time, Du Chunhua met Gao Mingda once and said politely: "Please trouble Secretary Gao. Actually, it's not necessary to pick him up. We can just go there by ourselves."

"Principal Chen likes quietness and lives a little bit off. I happened to come out to buy things, so I will take you there by the way." Gao Mingda looked about 30 years old, with an ordinary appearance and gentle appearance. He shook hands with Du Qiu in a very gentle manner and said, "Mr. Du, please give me more advice in the future."

Snapdragon Software settles in Yuncheng, and it is necessary to use Chen Zhiyang's social relations. As the vice principal, he cannot do things himself. He will definitely send a secretary to contact him. Therefore, this Gao Mingda is very important. Du Qiu responded with a smile: "Secretary Gao is polite. I am young and ignorant. I must ask you for more help in the future."

Gao Mingda met Jiang Danfeng again, and then drove the Audi and drove the three of them into the campus. The geographical environment and area of ​​Sanjiang University are similar to that of Yuncheng University, but the architectural style and landscape design are completely different. One pursues beauty, uniqueness and exquisiteness, the other pursues practicality, and the other cultivates a lot of flowers and plants on the roadside, colorful, and the other plantes many trees on the roadside, lush and green.

Others may not be able to feel this difference, but Du Qiu was a little moved because Sanjiang University and Yuncheng University belong to the same city, and their strengths are not much different. From academics to employment, from leaders to students, they have been in a state of competition and hostility. Before crossing, he has been hanging out at Yuncheng University, but after crossing, he cooperated with the vice president of Sanjiang University. If those classmates find out, they will definitely curse him as a traitor.

Chen Zhiyang lives in a villa specially built for school leaders and experts. It looks very low-key outside. It is just an ordinary three-story building, but only one family is living on each floor. It is very large and the living room is particularly spacious. Even if seven or eight people have dinner together, it doesn’t seem crowded at all.

Confucius once said that if you are good at studying, you will be an official. There are so many people in college who are good at studying and excellent at studying. The competition is very fierce. Chen Zhiyang can stand out and become the vice president. He is naturally very good at interpersonal communication. The food at night is exquisite, the atmosphere is warm, the flowers are gathered, and the guests and hosts are happy, which quickly enhances the relationship between each other. By the time the dessert was finally served, the two sides were already close as if they had been old friends for many years.

"Come on, try this almond snow clam, which my wife made in person, is a very good after-dinner dessert."

"Today I visited Principal Chen's house, which was not only a feast, but also a wide eyelid." Du Chunhua looked at the exquisite pastries that contrasted with golden yellow and snow white on the plate, and felt like looking at artworks. He was a little reluctant to eat them. He said, "I usually think I have a good cooking skills, but after seeing Aunt Xue's craftsmanship, I dare not say that I can cook anymore."

"The ancestor of Liping's family was an imperial chef. The Su-style pastries he made were unique and enjoyed a reputation." Chen Zhiyang laughed and patted his wife Xue Liping's hand, saying: "I have done a lot in my life, but I am the only thing I am most proud of, that is, I defeated dozens of competitors, and I was chosen by Que Ping and married Liping to my family."

Xue Liping is well maintained. She is already 50 years old. She looks only in her early 40s. There is still a little bit of youthful charm between her eyebrows and eyes. She and Chen Zhiyang have a harmonious relationship and said with a smile: "If Chunhua has time in the future, she can come to my house often and I will teach you how to make these pastries."

"If Principal Chen and Aunt Xue don't mind my shamelessness, I want to come and sit every day and wait until after dinner."

Chen Zhiyang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, now Dayou has gone to the United States, Liping is bored at home alone. Chunhua, you can come every day, just for her to chat and go shopping."

After the banquet ended, Du Chunhua and Jiang Danfeng stayed to help Xue Liping clean up the leftovers, while Chen Zhiyang took Du Qiu and Gao Mingda to the study and talked about the company's business.

"Du Qiu, you asked Morgan Stanley to be the representative of the financing negotiations. They are investment experts. Of course, this is OK, but China and the United States have different national conditions. Doing business in China requires personal relationships, and harmony makes money. It is too formal to hurt feelings. You can take time out these days and I will take you to meet the bosses of those six companies. Let's talk to each other and enhance your feelings."

"good."

"Don't underestimate these six companies just because they have few shares. I'm not just pulling people over to make up the numbers. Each company has chosen a partner after careful consideration. Each of them has not been simple in the background. Many times, problems that cannot be solved by money can be solved in one sentence."

"I know, I won't neglect them."

"That's good." Seeing that Du Qiu had a good attitude, Chen Zhiyang let go of this topic and talked about the company's specific affairs: "I have already communicated with you at the Institute of Quantum Physics. There is no problem with using their network, but it is a bit difficult to rent a house. In the past, you only had 6 employees, which could barely accommodate them, but after the expansion of enrollment, there were more than 20 people, and there were not so many free dormitories there."

Du Qiu had a long accusation about this and said, "I plan to let employees live in the city at night, go to work there during the day, and use a bus to pick them up and drop them off. So there is no need for a dormitory, just a place where you can work."

"If it's just working during the day, the institute should be able to solve the problem." Chen Zhiyang nodded slightly and said: "We have many free student dormitories in our school, which can be loaned to employees for temporary residence. We will find a better place when we have the conditions in the future."

It was so pleasant to work with the black-hearted businessman, and it saved a lot of money...

"That would be great." Seeing that the accommodation was easy to solve, Du Qiu asked the question of eating: "Does their canteen agree to join the group?"

"This is no problem. Mingda has communicated, but the food fee is more expensive than the internal staff of the institute."

"Their canteen food is well made, it doesn't matter if it's a little expensive."

After talking about the company's trivial matters for a while, Chen Zhiyang and Du Qiu suggested: "The name of Snapdragon Software has been published in the People's Daily. Dayou also said that many foreign experts and professors have a high opinion of you. The employees have not come to report these days. You should be relatively free. How about coming to our school to give a technical speech?"

Du Qiu was slightly stunned and said, "It's okay to give technical speeches, but Sanjiang University can't access the Internet yet. No one has ever used the iView browser. I'm afraid students don't like to listen."

"Then don't talk about iView, open source software. I think this is a good concept and should let students learn more about it."

Open source software? What's there to say about this...

Browsers will be popularized in the country at most next year, and open source software may not be popularized in ten years...
