"I'm sorry, Teacher Zheng."
Chen Zhu answered the phone a little late. After he got through, he apologized to Zheng Ju first.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Zheng Ju said cheerfully: "Du Xiu asked me to go to the propaganda department's dinner party tonight. He said you would also be there, so I called to make sure."
Chen Zhu and Zheng Ju are also very familiar with each other. This is a relationship that they met "at a time of poverty" and is even more solid than Wang Youqing's.
At present, the relationship with this big civil engineering gangster is mainly based on cooperation, but trust is slowly building up.
So, Chen Zhu asked Zheng Ju directly: "Looking at this tone, it seems that if I don't go, you won't go."
"Hehe~"
Zheng Ju knew that Chen Zhu was not an ordinary student, so he smiled and did not lie: "Tonight is also a joint dinner for the Secretariat and Liaison Department. I originally planned to attend there."
"Oh~"
Chen Zhu suddenly realized.
However, it is also understandable that the Publicity Department is a "grandma does not love, grandma does not love" existence among the six departments of the student union. Zheng Ju did not even know the name of the director Du Xiu before.
Now it is another joint dinner between two important departments, and Zheng Ju will definitely go to them.
"Teacher Zheng, please don't leave."
Chen Zhu quickly said: "There is a small matter that is not very important that I want to talk to you about."
Chen Zhu still remembered his roommate Liu Qiming's troubles and was ready to help him find a relationship.
"What a coincidence!"
Zheng Ju immediately said: "I also have a small matter that is not very important, and I plan to inform you in advance."
"Okay, we'll meet at 7pm."
Chen Zhu chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone. Only then did he see that Liu Qiming had already received several missed calls and messages.
"This kid is really anxious."
Chen Zhu smiled knowingly and looked up to find Wang Youqing staring directly at him.
"What's wrong, Brother Wang?"
Chen Zhu asked doubtfully: "Did I just say something wrong?"
"No."
Wang Youqing sighed: "It's just that you don't look like a college student."
Chen Zhu was not angry when he heard this. He raised the book he brought and said, "Why doesn't it look like it? I wanted to review it in the afternoon, but I forgot about it while we were chatting."
"If you can't get the scholarship if you pass the final exam."
Chen Zhu said with great regret: "It's really not interesting to study in this university."
"How much is your scholarship?"
Wang Youqing asked.
"The lowest price is about 400 yuan."
Chen Zhu replied honestly: "I can only get the lowest grade."
"day……"
Wang Youqing lost interest for a moment.
I was just talking about a future cooperation that might be worth 40 million or even 400 million, and now I actually said that I cherish the 400 yuan scholarship.
Why is this person so hypocritical!
"Okay, okay, I'm going to have a drink!"
Wang Youqing stood up and stretched: "You have also met Ma Haijun. This man is a retired soldier. He has a very strict tone and he also knows the basic etiquette of driving."
Chen Zhu was stunned for a moment: "What is basic etiquette?"
"Just getting in and out of the car and opening the door for you."
Wang Youqing said: "Let him take you back tonight to experience this kind of service."
"I don't care about this."
Chen Zhu sneered, but still planned to trouble Ma Haijun to send him back.
The main reason is to see if he can drive stably and how the borrowed S600 performs.
Before leaving, Chen Zhu also said politely: "Thank you, Brother Wang, for lending me the car and the person, so I plan to tell you some good news."
"What good news?"
Wang Youqing perked up.
“In order to increase the intermediary company’s ability to resist risks, we adhere to the lofty concept of drinking water without forgetting the man who dug the well.”
Chen Zhu said solemnly: "I donated 15% of the company's shares to our school."
"ah?"
Wang Youqing's smile solidified little by little: "Why don't you discuss this with us?"
"Discuss only bad news."
Chen Zhu said with a half-smile: "The good news should be regarded as a surprise. Brother Wang, don't you feel happy?"
After saying that, Chen Zhu took the book, closed the door politely, and left.
Wang Youqing in the office was stunned for a long time, and finally understood that this was Chen Zhu's warning to Qu Dong for breaking his promise last time.
If Wang Youqing completely sides with Qu Dong, this is definitely bad news.
Because if it is not done well, it is likely that a 985 principal at the deputy ministerial level will pay attention to this matter.
However, if Wang Youqing has the tendency to side with Chen Zhu in his heart, this is another good news.
This kind of warning is definitely necessary. The first time it can satisfy Qu Dong's request, but if there are no corresponding measures, there will definitely be a second and third time.
A vicious cycle gradually forms, and the real estate agency must end hastily.
"It's also a very smart move."
Wang Youqing smacked his lips.
Introducing CUHK from 985 into the game not only creates a figure that can make Director Qu fear, Chen Zhu can also gain a good reputation in the school, and maybe even gain some benefits.
It's like killing three birds with one stone.
Wang Youqing walked to the window, silently lit a cigarette, and watched the S600 slowly leaving the office building downstairs.
After a while, Wang Youqing blew out a wisp of white smoke from his breath, his eyes gradually became firm, as if he had made an important decision:
In this matter, Wang Youqing planned to side with Chen Zhu.
It's not entirely because of the friendship with Chen Zhu, but more of his own interests.
Wang Youqing had told Chen Zhu before that he wanted to use the intermediary company as a retreat after the failure of Wan Tu's struggle.
Therefore, I don't want to be ruined by Qu Dong like this.
Of course, what Wang Youqing has to do is very simple. Taking advantage of the fact that Director Qu still trusts him, he can just conceal the news of Zhongda's investment in the company and continue to use the group's resources to help the intermediary company develop.
"Wait until the day Director Qu finds out..."
Wang Youqing snuffed out the cigarette butt.
Let's wait until the day we find out, and just be a little bitch who eats everything!
······
The Mercedes-Benz S600 was a million-dollar luxury car in 2008.
CITIC Song Zuomin also drove this car.
With smooth lines and a shiny appearance, when gliding on the noisy road with constant flow, there is a quiet and cold atmosphere that prevents strangers from entering.
Anyway, even people who don’t know anything about cars know that this car is definitely not cheap.
Sitting in the back row, Chen Zhu, from the perspective of ride comfort, the overall performance is still very good.
However, there is a small problem. Although this car has been taken care of frequently, you can still smell a faint smell of tobacco and alcohol on the leather.
This car is a reception vehicle for a real estate company. I don’t know how many drunk leaders it has received, so it looks like a red card in a brothel.
Although beautiful, it has been used many times.
But it doesn't matter, Chen Zhu's purpose is to be "beautiful", it is enough to be able to control Wang Haibin tomorrow.
Chen Zhu was thinking in his mind while reciting the knowledge points from the book.
After all, if you bring a book here, if you don't learn something, it's like you brought it in vain.
But from Ma Haijun's point of view, it was really unbelievable.
He has driven many people, some of them fell unconscious after being drunk, some of them kissed their female lovers without any scruples, and some of them loudly reprimanded their subordinates on the phone...
This is the first time a college student boss has served me with such quiet endorsement.
Guangzhou was indeed quite congested at this point. Ma Haijun was worried that he would not be able to make it to the 7 o'clock time requested by Chen Zhu, so he looked at Chen Zhu in the rearview mirror.
After hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, we may not be able to arrive at 7 o'clock."
"oh?"
Chen Zhu looked up from the sentence "Currency is the core of economic activities...".
Glancing at the long queue of vehicles outside the window, Chen Zhu gently replied:
"It doesn't matter. Since it's already late, let's stop when we pass by the gift shop. There is a senior sister who plans to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Send her a bouquet of flowers and wish her all the best."
Ma Haijun nodded. The college student boss's mood was quite stable.
Moreover, Mr. Chen is not like some leaders who brag about their children just by catching a stranger.
Or you may ask questions about other people's families, as if you want to seek a sense of superiority from a driver.
Chen Zhu didn't do this because in his long career in the system, he encountered too many such idiot leaders during business trips.
After listening to Ma Haijun's words, he took out his mobile phone and sent messages to Zheng Ju, Du Xiu and Liu Qiming respectively that he might be late.
Sending it to Zheng Ju is a kind of notification between friends;
I sent it to Liu Qiming to tell my roommate not to be too anxious, and I will not break the promise I made to you;
Sending it to Du Xiu is more of a courtesy. After all, tonight is the year-end dinner of the Publicity and Communications Department, and Du Xiu is the head of the Publicity and Communications Department.
However, after receiving the information, the three people had different reactions.
Da Liu was a little helpless and told this guy not to be late, but he was still late.
Du Xiu smiled bitterly in his heart.
Chen Zhu attended a total of three dinner parties held by the Publicity Department, and he was late every time.
The first time I was late, I was teased by Yang Jinxiang, so I ate half of my meal and left.
The second time he was late, everyone in the department, including himself, was patiently waiting for him.
The third time he was late, this time he was even more awesome. Not only did he wait for him, but even Teacher Zheng Ju from the Youth League committee waited without any complaints.
"so……"
Du Xiu lowered his head and played with the lines on the tablecloth, thinking about this question in his mind:
We and Chen Zhu went to the same school and ate in the same cafeteria. How did we become so different?
"Teacher Zheng, would you like to add some hot water for you?"
At this time, a sweet voice interrupted Du Xiu's reflection.
It turned out that Bian Xiaoliu noticed that there was no water in Zheng Ju's cup and took the initiative to stand up and help refill it.
Seeing Bian Xiaoliu doing something interesting, Du Xiu suddenly wanted to laugh, and felt inexplicably better.
Everyone knows that Bian Xiaoliu and Yang Jinxiang are Chen Zhu's junior high school classmates, and Bian Xiaoliu and Chen Zhu are roommates.
But these two people didn't know what happened when they first started school, and they were able to say arrogant words to Chen Zhu.
It's fine now. Chen Zhu has been eating and chatting with the school leaders, and they are still making do with each other in front of Teacher Zheng.
With Chen Zhu's current network of connections in school, whether he wants to help a classmate or wants to trick a classmate, it may be relatively simple.
"But none of this has anything to do with me."
Du Xiu looked indifferent on the surface, but actually heaved a sigh of relief.
I will be a senior next year, and I will definitely step down from the position of minister. Originally, according to the order, Ai Wentao would take over this position.
But now that Chen Zhu is a variable, the outcome is really hard to say.
It's not that Chen Zhu will replace Ai Wentao. It's unheard of for a first-year minister to be a minister, and Chen Zhu wouldn't do such a thing with his low-key style.
But who will be the head of the Propaganda Department in the future? Du Xiu felt that given the poor nature of the school youth league committee, he would probably seek Chen Zhu's opinion.
This is probably how society is. Chen Zhu made it clear that he had no interest in the student union, and he never showed up to meetings.
But just because they are so capable, the student union now needs to lick others.
The waiting time in the box was quite long, and the enthusiasm for greetings, the things that needed to be warned, and the polite remarks that needed to be made were all basically exhausted.
Everyone could only check their mobile phones, then raise their heads, and accidentally saw acquaintances across from them who were not very familiar with each other, and gave each other a polite fake smile.
Or simply pretend not to see it, glance around in the air, and then lower your head to browse the phone again.
There is an awkward atmosphere flowing.
It wasn't until Teacher Zheng Ju's cell phone rang and he went out to answer it that everyone relaxed a little.
It seems that the presence of a teacher makes me feel more or less uncomfortable.
"Qiming, you and Chen Zhu are roommates."
Vice Minister Ni Kexin suddenly asked: "Do you know where he went?"
Ni Kexin will not be in the student union next semester, so she is relatively relaxed.
There are things that others dare not say or are inconvenient to say, so she will have much less scruples.
There is another reason. Although today is nominally the year-end dinner of the Publicity and Communications Department, it is actually my farewell party.
Although there were no flowers or gifts, Minister Du Xiu said it had this meaning.
Now that Chen Zhu was late, Ni Kexin felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"I don't know either."
Liu Qiming replied awkwardly: "He hurried to catch the bus after class in the afternoon."
"It has been a long time since I started my business, and there has been so much noise."
Ni Kexin said in a joking tone: "Why does Chen Chen still take the bus when traveling now?"
No one in the box responded.
Ni Kexin has left, but the remaining people have to hang out in the student union. Knowing that Chen Zhu is so influential in the school, who is willing to openly mock him.
Besides, everyone here has been slapped in the face by Chen Zhu, from Bian Xiaoliu and Yang Jinxiang to Du Xiu and Ai Wentao.
Only three girls, Ni Kexin, Yan Rui, and Jiang Yun, were left.
However, Yan Rui, Jiang Yun, and Chen Zhu didn't have many opportunities to meet each other, so there was no misunderstanding or bad feeling at all.
Hearing Senior Sister Ni Kexin's slightly offensive joke, Yan Rui wisely chose to change the subject.
She pointed to a group of people outside and said, "Minister Du, look there are Teacher Zheng, Senior Sister Shang Dongling from the Secretariat and Senior Sister Tao Li from the Liaison Department."
"Finally something can break this embarrassing atmosphere."
Everyone was thinking this in their hearts, and then looked over one after another.
Unexpectedly, they were actually members of the secretariat and liaison department of the school student union.
"Were they the ones who called Teacher Zheng just now?"
Seeing Zheng Ju, Shang Dongling and others chatting and laughing, Bian Xiaoliu suddenly reacted.
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Du Xiu could only tell him frankly:
"Actually, today is also a joint dinner for the Secretariat and the Liaison Department. Teacher Zheng agreed to it from the beginning."
"Later I heard that Chen Zhu was coming, so I decided to join our party."
"Shang Dongling and Tao Li probably didn't know the reason, so they came over to question her."
…
"So that's it."
Everyone finally understood the whole story.
But to be honest, it's better not to know, why do I feel like I'm being picked over and left over.
Ni Kexin, who was already in a bad mood, suddenly became even more angry.
"The two seniors are too domineering!"
Ni Kexin is now like an employee who is determined to leave his job, venting all the complaints he usually keeps in his heart.
"Because my department is more important, I always have to steal the limelight."
Ni Kexin said in a dissatisfied tone: "Now that Teacher Zheng is sure to attend our dinner party, she comes here to question us. Do you really think that the student union is run by their family?"
"Forget it, forget it."
Du Xiu waved his hand and advised: "Dong Ling and Tao Li have that kind of character, just don't argue with them."
"No! I can tolerate it normally, but I don't want to tolerate it today."
Ni Kexin stood up suddenly: "I want to ask senior sister what you mean, and why do you want to snatch Teacher Zheng away?"
After saying that, Ni Kexin walked out quickly.
Du Xiu was also afraid of causing a dispute, so he hurried to catch up. When he got outside, he found that Zhao Chen, the chairman of the student union, and Wen Quan, the vice chairman, were both there.
Only then did I know that not only Zheng Ju was invited to the joint dinner, but also Zhao Chen and Wen Quan were invited.
"Good guy!"
Du Xiu thought to himself that half of the student union would be here tonight, so there wouldn't really be a fight.
