After nearly a month of inquiring and searching, Zhou Chen finally rented a house in a community about one kilometer away from the college.
It is still very difficult to find a rental house with three bedrooms and two living rooms nowadays. Zhou Chen rented it for two years at a time, and the price was slightly cheaper.
The house is on the third floor, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The area is only a little over 100 square meters. However, because it is not an elevator room and the shared area is very small, the space is still very large, which is more than enough for their family.
In addition, Zhou Chen also looked at a new building more than two kilometers away from the college. The foundation of the building is being laid and it has not yet been officially sold. However, after Zhou Chen looked at the model and drawings, he thought it was very good.
What he was interested in was the prime building in the community, which had only four floors in total. The east-side apartments had one staircase and one apartment. The most important thing was that the first floor could enclose a yard of about twenty square meters.
Many people think it is best not to buy a house on the first floor because of leaks, mosquitoes, etc., but Zhou Chen doesn't care about these, because these are all problems that can be solved through later decoration.
The conditions on the first floor of this building are obviously better than those upstairs.
Zhou Chen didn't hesitate to buy the house as soon as he liked it. Because it wasn't for sale yet, Zhou Chen paid the deposit first and settled on this house. As soon as it goes on sale, he has the right of first refusal.
According to estimates, it will take about one and a half to two years to hand over the house, so the time is more than enough for Zhou Chen, and it will be no problem even if the full payment is made by then.
The house problem has been solved for the time being, but Zhou Chen has not yet finished the newsstand work. He has looked at several locations, but he has not officially started working on it.
In this era, it is not possible to open a newsstand just when you want. There is no problem with the supply of goods, but other procedures need to be completed slowly.
Zhou Chen is not too anxious. Anyway, there are still a few months before he returns home for the New Year, so he has plenty of time to do it.
That's right, he is planning to abduct his parents to Yanjing when he returns home for the Spring Festival next year.
Boys dormitory.
"Zhou Chen, how did you study? You actually ranked first in the class and got so many points higher than the second place?"
The other five people in the dormitory gathered around Zhou Chen, especially the squad leader Hou Pu, who looked very shocked.
"Yes, you see, the monitor is very angry. This is his first exam, and he tried so hard to get first place, but the result is so much worse than you."
Xin Yi gloated and smiled. This time he failed the Magnolia exam, but his brother Zhou Chen scored high. As long as someone can hold Magnolia down and prevent his tail from flying up to the sky, it will be fine.
Zhou Chen seemed very calm: "Isn't it just a small exam? It's not a final exam or a professional exam."
Houpu said depressedly: "I just can't understand. You are either writing novels or going out with Zhao Yingnan all day long. You don't study half as much as I do. How come you get so many points higher than me?"
In terms of study effort, Houpu is definitely the hardest working person in their dormitory, and can also be said to be the hardest working person in their class.
On the contrary, Zhou Chen and the idle Qiu Shui definitely spent the least time studying in the class.
Qiu Shui counted down as expected, but Zhou Chen took the first place, which made Hou Pu unable to let go.
Qiu Shui said: "What's not to understand about this, genius, genius, do you understand? Although Zhou Chen has a shorter study time than you, his brain works very fast. Even if he takes half the time, he can learn faster than you.
You learn quickly, so don’t get too entangled, it’s useless to get entangled in some things.”
Xin Yi also patted Hou Pu on the shoulder and said, "Yeah, don't make yourself miserable. There is no need to compare with him. Have you seen less of his perversions in more than a year? His learning ability is better than yours.
Excellent, that is a fact that has been proven long ago. Even if you are still struggling, we have all become accustomed to it."
People who can be admitted to Renhe Medical College are definitely smart people, but Zhou Chen has lived for so many years, and his thinking ability and learning ability are much better than them. As long as he is willing to spend time to learn, most people really can't compare with him.
"You guys are really..."
Hou Pu looked at Qiu Shui and the others with hatred. Zhou Chen's results did not make him despair, but instead aroused his competitive spirit. He never thought that he was inferior to others.
Originally, he thought that everyone else in the dormitory had the same idea as him, but when he saw Qiu Shui, Xin Yi and others lying down, he felt his heart hurt so much.
This dormitory is too difficult and he is the only normal person.
"Pop."
Zhou Chen clapped his hands and said: "Don't talk about it yet, I need help tomorrow. If anyone is willing to help me, I will treat you when the restaurant opens. Let's drink and eat meat."
Qiu Shui was the first to shout: "We are all brothers, helping is just a matter of words. You are too polite."
Gu Ming nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah."
Du Zhong hesitated and said: "Originally, I planned to ask Gu Xiaoman to read in the library tomorrow. Since you want to help, I will go and help you first, and then I will make an appointment with Gu Xiaoman after I'm done."
Zhou Chen patted his shoulder vigorously: "Euzcommia ulmoides, I'm a brother. Just by saying this, I have to drink one later."
After saying that, he looked at the last two people, Xin Yi and Hou Pu.
"Where are you two?"
Xin Yi said seriously: "First of all, let me explain, I am not helping you to drink and eat meat, but because we are brothers, and we must help brothers."
Zhou Chen pretended to be moved: "Good brother, good brother."
Houpu said cautiously: "I still have to study tomorrow, and there are things in class that I need to deal with."
Zhou Chen said calmly: "After I finish helping out tomorrow, I will have a meal."
"Zhou Chen, look at what you did, it's too..., okay, no matter how big the problem is, it will definitely not be as big as yours. I promise to help you tomorrow." Houpu patted his chest and said loudly.
"Look at how mean you are."
Qiu Shui and others looked at him with contempt, but Hou Pu was thick-skinned enough and didn't take it seriously at all.
Zhou Chen added: "In addition to us, the girls' dormitory will also come, so your opportunity has come."
"Will Xiaohong come?" Gu Ming asked impatiently.
"I made an agreement with Zhao Yingnan. She said she would bring people from the dormitory over. Xiaohong, who lives in the same dormitory as her, will definitely come back."
"That's great."
Gu Ming jumped up happily: "You guys talk first, I'll find some clothes to change into."
"Look how happy he is."
Ignoring everyone's ridicule, Gu Ming hummed and picked out clothes.
Du Zhong asked curiously: "Zhou Chen, you told us to help you tomorrow. Why are you helping us? Not only did you call us, but you also called the girls?"
Everyone also reacted and looked at Zhou Chen curiously: "Yes, what are you going to do?"
"move place."
"Moving? Have you found a house?"
Qiu Shui and others were greatly surprised. They all knew that Zhou Chen was looking for a house and had been looking for it for a long time. Unexpectedly, they had already found it and were ready to move.
"Well, I've found three bedrooms and two living rooms. I'm going to the mall tomorrow to buy fake wine supplies, so I'll leave you guys to do some hard work."
Hopu was surprised: "Why are you renting such a big house? Even if you want to kiss Zhao Yingnan and live in a world of two, you don't need such a big house, right?"
Qiu Shui chuckled and said: "Monitor, don't you understand this? There are advantages to having more rooms. Today I can be in this room, tomorrow there, and the day after tomorrow I can be in the bathroom. There are many choices and a lot of fun."
"Hey, hey hey hey..."
Xin Yi and Du Zhong, two bad friends, immediately understood what Qiu Shui meant and started laughing, while Hou Pu and Gu Ming had their eyes darkened and didn't understand what it meant.
Zhou Chen slapped her over: "You are the only one who can say, stop talking nonsense, if you want to have dinner with a girl, pack up quickly and set off to the hotel."
"Let's go, let's go."
As soon as they heard that they were having a meal, or having a meal with a girl, the animals immediately became excited and quickly changed their clothes one by one and got ready to go.
There are six people in one dormitory for boys and six people in one dormitory for girls, which adds up to twelve people. As for the other people in the class, Zhou Chen called Wu Ruixiang.
Originally there were thirteen people, but Liu Tingting came in midway.
Liu Tingting and Zhao Yingnan were not in the same dormitory, and because Liu Tingting had thoughts about Zhou Chen, Zhao Yingnan didn't even think of calling her.
But when Gu Xiaoman's big mouth came out, Liu Tingting insisted on coming to help. Zhao Yingnan had no choice but to take her with him.
Wu Ruixiang had a good relationship with Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen took the initiative to call him.
As a result, thirteen people became fourteen people.
A table for fourteen people couldn't fit in an ordinary small restaurant, so Zhou Chen found a larger restaurant near the school with a large round table that was just big enough to sit.
"Everyone, everyone."
As soon as the food was served, Houpu stood up and loudly attracted everyone's attention.
"Today is our first large-scale gathering after military training, so we would like to thank the host, Zhou Chen, and everyone applauds."
"Pa bang..."
Applause rang out, but Houpu's face quickly became very embarrassed, because apart from himself, there were only two people applauding.
One was Gu Xiaoman, the other was You Yue, and the others looked at him expressionlessly.
Qiu Shui said with a smile but not a smile: "Squad leader, you are being unkind. Today is Zhou Chenchan's game. Is it appropriate for you to jump out and speak?"
"Yes, squad leader, are you used to being the squad leader? How about you treat me to this meal?" Xin Yi also said in a strange tone.
When Houpu heard that he was going to treat a guest, he was immediately frightened. He smiled brightly and sat down.
"Zhou Chen, come here and say a few words."
Zhou Chen was not polite, picked up the wine glass and stood up.
"Thank you very much for giving me this face and being willing to help me. I won't go into details. Let's pick up the wine glasses and have a drink together."
As soon as Zhou Chen spoke, the atmosphere at the wine table changed again. Everyone raised their glasses and drank a toast.
"Just treat it like eating at home. Everyone is free to do as you like. But as I said, don't think about being lazy. I'll ask everyone for help tomorrow. Don't drink too much and you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
