Chapter 246 From Dongchen Street to Chifeng Road
Xie Bingran's competition in Osaka is in mid-to-late September. As the date is approaching, she needs to apply for a tourist visa in advance.
The procedures are cumbersome.
Fortunately, my father has a company and there are many people who can do it for him.
Xu Chen went to the immigration hall to get his passport, and handed the rest to the administrative director Wu Yue.
Wu Yue is very familiar with it and said that finding a travel agent is the fastest, but it also takes some time to get back and forth.
We can only wait for Xu Chen to arrive in Shanghai, and then mail it to him after it is done here.
Xu Chen also contacted coach Cheng Hong in advance and asked her to help get tickets for the Osaka game.
Asked again about Xie Bingran's daily life, Coach Cheng said that she prepares step by step and concentrates hard on the competition, which roughly means "obsessed with training and unable to extricate herself."
Xu Chen couldn't help but curse in his heart, this ruthless girl really doesn't miss me at all...
……
The production line at Chenfeng Technology Park has been installed, but debugging and trial operation will take some time.
Xu Zhiquan rushed to hold a grand and festive ceremony before Xu Chen left to celebrate the official launch of the electric vehicle production line.
Lao Xu is a lively person.
On that day, red flowers and banners were hung all over the park. Hundreds of employees gathered together and made noise with gongs and drums in front of the North District factory for most of the day.
Teacher Fang Jun's "bar" came in handy. As the "chief beverage officer" of Chenfeng Technology, she was very busy that night.
By the end of the dinner, Fang Jun didn't even have time to drink a sip of wine.
Her face was expressionless but obviously sulky. Xu Zhiquan smiled heartily and organized a second drinking party for Teacher Fang Jun.
……
……
Registration at the university is on September 1st, but in order to take care of out-of-town students, registration will also be open on August 31st.
Xu Chen made a schedule for the 29th.
I went there two or three days in advance to meet Nie Fei from Jiaduobao, and there was still some business to discuss.
Nie Fei is now the financial backer, and is about to deliver an advertising order, so she must take good care of it.
What's more, it's also about Xie Bingran's endorsement...
Fang Jun will arrive in Shanghai two days earlier. She needs to check and decorate the newly rented office of Dongchen Advertising.
She has never been very fond of the office in Jinfeng Building.
Xu Zhiquan still has some "township entrepreneur" preferences. The overall office decoration is still in a retro tycoon style, which probably makes Fang Jun feel a little uncomfortable.
So she obviously cared deeply about this small house in Shanghai. Although in most cases, it is estimated that only Xu Chen uses it.
However, Xu Chen was relieved to leave the office layout to Fang Jun.
She still has some high-end tastes. She had previously shown Xu Chen a reference sketch of the office layout. They were all in a simple and clean style, and Xu Chen liked them very much.
Xu Chen approached Sun Amy again and asked her to help make a "Dongchen Advertising" logo.
The overall color scheme is black and white, which is also simple and high-end. Xu Chen is also very satisfied.
This was sent to Fang Jun, asking her to find someone to make a sign when decorating her office.
In addition, Xu Zhiquan specially arranged for Zhao Feng and Fang Tao to go to Shanghai with Fang Jun first.
First, considering the need to buy some tables, chairs, furniture, electrical appliances, etc., and also involving moving heavy objects, I was worried that Fang Jun, a girl, would not be able to handle it.
In addition, it was also considered that after Xu Chen arrived in Shanghai, he might need to buy some bedding and daily necessities to carry to the dormitory. Zhao Feng and Fang Tao could help him then.
Xu Chen couldn't help but think to himself that his father had arranged for two people to help him move things, which was quite a "young master" attitude.
I recall the train station I went to with my father when I went to the next city to study in my previous life.
It's just that Xu Zhiquan went to the south to work with his snakeskin bag, and he boarded the train alone with a big backpack on his back.
The overlapping memories of past lives are still a bit confusing.
……
……
In a blink of an eye, it was the day to leave Tiancheng on the 29th.
Xu Zhiquan cooked at home and made a table of Xu Chen's favorite dishes.
Lao Xu is actually very good at cooking. When he was planning to open a factory in the village, he also considered opening a restaurant.
The father and son enjoyed the meal very much.
Although they are about to part ways, there is no sentimentality at all.
Lao Xu chewed a piece of crab leg:
"If you feel homesick, ask Wu Yue to book a flight for you. You can fly back on the weekend."
Xu Chen smiled: "Okay!"
Xu Zhiquan: "I will give you 100,000 yuan for living expenses first. If it is not enough, you will tell me later."
Xu Chen: "Dad, I am a college student, how can I have so much money..."
He thought back to his previous life. All the expenses for four years of college were definitely less than 100,000 yuan.
Even after graduating from college, I worked for three to five years and my annual salary was barely 100,000.
All right.
It’s great to be a rich second generation...
Xu Zhiquan: "Shanghai is a big city. Your classmates probably have good family conditions. My son can't show his timidity!
In addition, Ran Ran is also in Shanghai. She is lonely and helpless, so you should take more care of her. ”
Xu Chen said with a smile: "Xie Bingran is a little rich woman now. Last time Yangcheng won the championship, the bonus was 300,000 yuan."
Xu Zhiquan naturally knew about the bonus.
He took a puff of cigarette and couldn't help but said: "This little girl is so capable!"
He smiled heartily again and glanced at his son:
"But my son is more capable and can make more money than me!"
Xu Zhiquan stretched out his big hand and squeezed his son's shoulder, with a proud and doting look on his face.
Xu Chen thought for a while and said:
"I am going to find a suitable EMBA class in several universities in Shanghai...
Dad, you can come over and read it. ”
Xu Zhiquan lit a cigarette and said with a smile:
"Studying? At my age, I'm afraid I don't have the brains."
Xu Chen:
“You are not young when you study EMBA. The main thing is that you can make some connections.”
Xu Zhiquan: "Okay, then I will listen to my son's arrangements.
It would be great to go to Shanghai to see you! ”
He remembered something again:
"The conditions of the university dormitories are probably average. If not, I will rent you a house to live in.
Dad originally considered buying you a small house to live in, but I took a look at the housing prices in Shanghai, and they were so high that I really can’t afford it now.
Fang Jun also said that there are current purchase restrictions in Shanghai, and it is impossible to buy a house without a household registration. Dongchen Advertising will pay social security for you in Shanghai. Just wait a few years, and your father will save some money and buy you a house after graduation. ”
Xu Chen: "Mr. Xu is so domineering, he is already planning to buy a house in Shanghai!"
Xu Zhiquan took a puff of cigarette: "The house in Tiancheng is not valuable, and there is no point in buying it."
Xu Chen smiled: "I'll live in the dormitory first. I won't be able to experience university life if I move out."
……
After eating, Xu Chen went to pack his things again.
There is not much luggage, just a backpack and a small suitcase.
The suitcase is naturally the small black box with a small national flag printed on it.
There are also some things that have been packed and sent to Shanghai, directly to the office rented by Fang Jun.
Xu Chen looked around in the past two days and found that the office was right across the road from the school. It was indeed very convenient for work and school.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
……
Xu Zhiquan drove the car himself and drove his son out of the town.
As we passed through the center of the town, a road was being dug and repaired.
Xu Zhiquan rolled down the window and pointed:
"That is the road we donated, and it will be called 'Dongchen Street' from now on..."
……
After parting, Lao Xu finally showed some sadness.
He rubbed his son's head and took something out of his arms.
"These are a pair of peace charms. I don't understand them very well. I went to the mountain to ask for them."
Xu Chen reached out and took it. Just when he was about to ask why they were a pair, Xu Zhiquan said:
"One for you and one for Ranran."
……
……
Shanghai city.
After Xu Chen landed, he took a taxi directly to "Chifeng Road".
The south gate of Tonghai University is on Chifeng Road.
At the same time, the office Fang Jun rented was opposite the south gate of Tonghai University.
Late afternoon.
Xu Chen got out of the car with his suitcase and was already standing at the south gate of Tonghai University.
College students of both sexes were walking in and out of the school gate.
Thinking of the shabby and humble school he attended in his previous life, Xu Chen couldn't help but feel some contrasting feelings.
In addition to the differences in schools, the mental outlook of the students is also very different...
There are no fried noodle and barbecue stalls, boys and girls with unconventional hairstyles, or cigarette butts and drinks bottles everywhere.
Everything you see is neat and orderly, and the students coming in and out also make people feel a lot of sunshine...
Xu Chen couldn't help but laugh at himself.
This is obviously his own "prestigious school filter", beautifying what he sees on his own.
……
In 2006, we had not yet experienced the epidemic lockdown, and the universities were open to the outside world. There were no card swiping, face swiping access control, etc.
The hotel booked these two days is the guest house on the campus of Tonghai University. Wu Yue helped make the reservation.
But Xu Chen didn't rush into school, but turned around and looked across the road.
Hudong Science and Technology Park, Tonghai Creative Design Building.
The office Fang Jun rented was upstairs. It was indeed separated by a road, which was very convenient.
……
Eighth floor, room 806.
Xu Chen walked to the door and saw a large flower basket.
[He Dongchen Advertising relocates to Jiaduobao Group Marketing Department]
Unexpectedly, it was sent by Jiaduobao. It seems that "Sister Fei" also has intentions.
"Brother Chen!"
There was a lot of noise in the office, and several figures were busy inside.
Xu Chen looked through the glass and saw that it was Zhao Feng, Fang Tao, and three or two other workers who were moving and arranging tables and chairs together.
As soon as he saw Xu Chen come in, Zhao Feng quickly smiled and said:
"Brother Chen, you are here!"
Fang Tao also hurried over to say hello, still in the same angry tone.
"Thank you for your hard work, where is Teacher Fang Jun?"
Zhao Feng: "She went to the building's property manager to go through the formalities and should be back soon."
Xu Chen put down his luggage and was about to reach out to help, but Zhao Feng stopped him:
"Brother Chen, you need to rest first. We'll do the work."
Xu Chen rolled up his sleeves and wanted to join, but Zhao Feng dragged him to the sofa next to him:
"Brother Chen, sit down... Mr. Xu arranged for us to come here to do this."
Xu Chen smiled:
"Okay, let's have dinner together later!"
"Okay!"
With that said, Zhao Feng turned around and went back to work.
Xu Chen stood up and turned around, and couldn't help but nodded.
Although the decoration has not yet been completed, Fang Jun's arrangements are indeed very appropriate, and the entire office is also very tasteful.
The area is not large, only about 60 square meters in total.
But I still made a simple partition.
A small independent office, a small conference room, and then an open office area.
In one corner of the office area, there is also an open resting and reception area with a sofa and coffee table.
Xu Chen walked to the window and looked out through the large and bright window.
You can see the campus of Tong Hai University across the street.
That main road on campus is the legendary "Sakura Avenue", right?
