Chapter 388 How to Loan 2 Million () Chen was young and walked briskly. In a few minutes, he arrived downstairs of the principal's office. Sure enough, there was a Buick commercial vehicle with its ignition on parked there. Just as Coaster is the exclusive bus for provincial-level leaders to conduct research, the seven-seater Buick business car is also the special car for welcoming and seeing off guests in many units in eastern Guangdong. The reason is that Buick, the manufacturer, is good at sales and is willing to spend a lot of money to grab such a big piece of the pie. The driver of the commercial vehicle was a man in his 30s with a flat head. He looked rather dull. He rested his arm on the window and stared blankly at the college students coming and going. The treatment of drivers in universities is much worse than that in the system, but it is relatively easier and suitable for honest people who don't have too many schemes. "Hello." Chen walked closer and asked, "Excuse me, are you waiting for Principal Xu?" "you are?" The distracted driver looked up and found a sunny and handsome male college student with bright and deep eyes, but not aggressive.
"I am Chen Zhuo from the 2007 Lingnan College Economics Class." Chen Zhuo took the initiative to reveal his identity: "I am also waiting for Principal Xu." "Oh oh oh." The driver originally thought that this was Principal Xu's student, but later he felt something was wrong. Principal Xu is very busy with administrative work. He has long stopped supervising master's students and only has three or four doctoral students under him. Which doctor looks so young? Just when I was wondering, I saw the boy took out two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes from his schoolbag and stuffed them directly into his hands. "no, I'm fine……" The driver quickly declined. He was not a full-time driver for Principal Xu, but just a member of the driver team. Whenever any school leader needed a car, he would just call and he would obey the arrangements. Usually, he only plays the role of a "driver" and is not given any other roles, such as "the leader's confidant" and so on. So basically no one would curry favor with me, let alone give me two packs of soft Zhonghua cigarettes at once. "Why are you being so polite? Just want to be friends." Chen Zhuo glanced at the office building and suddenly said, "Principal Xu is here. It's not a good idea for us to shove and shove like this." "what?" The driver couldn't help but be stunned. Two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes had been stuffed into his arms. The driver then realized that the entrance of the office building was empty and there was no one there. He realized he had fallen into a trap. However, since the thing was already in his arms, it would be a bit pretentious to return it. The driver could only accept it reluctantly, but he liked the male college student much more. He was also happy to respond to Chen Zhuo's conversation.
"Brother, it must be very hard for you to drive for Principal Xu." "It's OK. Principal Xu doesn't like to use the car very much. He usually prefers to take the bus. Unless there is a real need, he usually won't order us around." "Tsk! Principal Xu is truly an admirable teacher. For the development of the school, he probably doesn't have much time to cultivate hobbies." "Well... it's okay. Principal Xu likes to write poetry and then post it on his blog. It shouldn't take up too much time." "Principal Xu is so elegant! Brother, do you have the address of Principal Xu's blog? I want to learn from it." "I don't have that thing. I just heard about it from other people." …… In just a few minutes, under Chen Zhuo's deliberate questioning and with two packs of soft Zhonghua cigarettes, the driver inadvertently revealed some seemingly ordinary trivialities in life. "So Principal Xu likes poetry?" Chen thought of Zheng Wenlong's obsession with painting, and thought that he was still an intellectual of that era, with such stylish hobbies. For our generation, it’s karaoke and massage. In the next generation, Honor of Kings and Genshin Impact were launched. Spiritual food is becoming more scarce with each generation. However, in order not to arouse suspicion, Chen Zhuo only asked a little and then skipped these topics. After a while, the three school leaders, Xu Ning, Shu Yuan and Lin Jinping, really appeared at the entrance of the office building. Chen Zhuo stopped chatting with the driver. He took the initiative to say hello and opened the car door politely. It should be noted that for this type of seven-seater commercial vehicle, the two seats in the row behind the driver's seat are the most comfortable positions in the entire vehicle. The second is the co-pilot. As for the last row, not only is the space relatively narrow, but when it is full, three people have to squeeze in, which makes it very stuffy. But today there are only five people including the driver, how should we arrange it? With Chen's current status, he certainly couldn't take the initiative to speak. The correct approach would be to open both the passenger and rear doors, and then stand aside attentively. If you find someone sitting in the wrong seat, just remind them. What kind of situation is considered as sitting in the wrong place? If Principal Xu sat in the passenger seat, that would be a mistake. He should choose one of the two most comfortable seats. In other words, if Dean Shu or Dean Lin takes the initiative to walk to the last row because they are too modest, they must be stopped in time. The last row is Chen's position. Fortunately, the three school leaders were relatively easy going and did not cause any trouble for Chen. They all found suitable positions according to the normal social sequence. President Shu was in the passenger seat, while President Xu and President Lin were in the two most comfortable seats. Chen was sitting in the last row. He guessed that the reason why Dean Shu had rushed to sit on the front passenger seat was because Dean Lin was older and had more experience, so he took the initiative to give it up. After everyone was seated, the business car started slowly.
The cafeteria had already opened for lunch at this time, and college students were walking in groups of three or five on Yixian Road on campus, with happy and satisfied smiles on their faces. "Beep~, beep~" the business car honked a few times, like a rowing boat, gently pushing away these naive college students. Occasionally, some classmates would look at the business car curiously, but their view was blocked by the gray-black window film. Who could have imagined that Chen Zhe, who was only a freshman at that time, had been able to ride in the same car with three school leaders based on his own abilities and skills. Inside and outside the car. In front of and behind people. …… On the way from the school to Li Garden Restaurant, the three school leaders were chatting all the time. The topics of conversation are quite diverse, ranging from social current affairs to academic research, and occasionally some family matters. Chen Zhuo was very quiet in the last row and did not join in the conversation between the big guys. There is no need to adjust the atmosphere in this situation. Speaking out will only give the teachers and leaders the impression that you are "not stable enough and like to show off." Unless Dean Shu took the initiative to ask: "Chen Zhe, what are you holding in your hand?" Chen Zhuo then replied, "Looking back at the financial flow of the past three months, I would like to ask Senior Brother Zheng and Director Lu to help guide the company's business operations." The three leaders were not fools, especially Xu Ning and Shu Yuan, who were very smart. They could tell that Chen's request for "guidance" was fake and that showing off the company's strength was real. So the topic turned to Chen Zhuo again. "Chen is quite thoughtful in considering issues." Shu Yuan praised the students in his college generously. "They are also quite perceptive, which shows that they have political sensitivity and political stance." Professor Lin Jinping from the School of Marxism also echoed this. He always felt that a student who could draw some important conclusions from conversations and discussions with his father was simply a natural "Marxist-Leninist". Principal Xu and Chen Zhuo did not have close contact with each other on a regular basis, but they were very clear about what this student did. While listening to his colleagues' comments, he turned around and looked at Chen with a smile, his eyes gentle and a little curious. Chen Zhuo immediately responded with a shy and kind smile. We chatted leisurely for more than 20 minutes before the business car arrived at Li Yuan Restaurant. When Chen got out of the car, he took a look and saw that the Mercedes-Benz S600 loaded with gifts had already parked in the open-air parking lot, and Ma Haijun was taking a nap leaning back in the chair. Chen Zhuo didn't even say hello and brought the three school leaders to the box. Soon a waiter in cheongsam came in and poured tea. The antique decoration style, coupled with the rising tea fragrance, exudes the charm of an oriental banquet. Xu Ning and the others did not go directly to the table, but sat on the sofa in the box, drinking tea while waiting for Zheng Wenlong.
This is also a very important etiquette. Some people arrive early. They will pick a chair at the table and sit down, and even pick up the high-heeled glasses on the table to pour tea and drink water. What are the disadvantages of this? The dinner hasn’t started yet, the seats haven’t been completely decided, that chair may not be your final seat, and the cup you’ve drunk from is considered “contaminated”. Some people say, why not just change to a highball glass? Some guests are more particular, or even pretentious, so they pay more attention to these details. Therefore, the more important the dinner is, the more attention you should pay to your words and actions. Before I finished my cup of tea, a middle-aged woman in a black suit and shiny black leather shoes walked in from outside. A professional smile appeared on his face before they even opened their mouths. "Mr. Chen, good evening." The middle-aged woman said to Chen. "In front of the three teachers, please don't call me Mr. Chen. Call me Xiao Chen." Chen replied jokingly, and then said to Xu Ning, Shu Yuan and the others: "This is the floor manager of this floor of Liyuan Restaurant." "Oh~" The three school leaders all nodded slightly, but they were all a little puzzled. Are Chen Zhuo and Li Yuan familiar with each other? How come he is familiar with the floor manager here? Chen Zhuo seemed to know what they were thinking, crossed his arms and explained, "I came here this afternoon, and I just met Manager Zou." "Mr. Chen is very careful in his work." The floor manager was also very knowledgeable. She immediately followed up by saying, "Not only did he check the environment of the private room, he also checked the dishes twice." "Chen Zhuo, you came here specially this afternoon?" Shu Yuan nodded with satisfaction. Chen Zhe is energetic and enterprising, down-to-earth in his work, and has high emotional intelligence. Despite his young age, he speaks in a very sophisticated manner. From the perspective of a teacher, there is almost no one who dislikes students like Chen Zhe. What's more, Shu Yuan also wants to use Chen's work as a model to study the upper limit of entrepreneurship for college students. "Look, you guys even checked the food before eating..." Dean Lin clapped his hands and said regretfully: "I said he chose the wrong major. He is too suitable for the School of Marxism. His career in the government will definitely be smooth sailing!" Principal Xu's eyes were filled with admiration. So far, Chen Zhe's performance lived up to President Shu's usual descriptions and praises. At this moment, President Shu's phone rang. He glanced at it and said, "It's President Zheng's message. He said there was a traffic jam, otherwise he would have arrived earlier. Now there are still a few hundred meters." After hearing this, Chen Zhuo straightened his clothes and stood up. Sure enough, just as I finished tidying up, I saw Shu Yuan turned his head. He found that Chen Zhuo was already prepared, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Chen to go down with me to pick him up."
