Chapter 387 How to get a loan of 100 million (2)
Chen, who looked young and walked briskly, arrived downstairs in the principal's office in a few minutes. Sure enough, there was a burning Buick business car parked there.
Just like Coaster is the exclusive bus for provincial leaders to conduct research, the seven-seater Buick Business in eastern Guangdong is also a special bus for many units to welcome guests.
The reason is that the Buick manufacturer is better at sales and is willing to spend a lot of money to bite such a big piece of cake.
The driver of the commercial vehicle was a man in his 30s with a crew cut and a dull appearance. He put his arm on the window and stared at the college students passing by in a daze.
The treatment of drivers in colleges and universities is much worse than in the system, but it is relatively relaxed and suitable for honest people who don't have too many concerns.
"Hello."
Chen Zhu came closer and asked, "Are you waiting for Principal Xu?"
"Who are you?"
The distracted driver looked up and saw a sunny and handsome male college student with bright and deep eyes, but no overbearing aggression.
"I am Chen Zhu from the economics class of Lingnan University in 2007."
Chen Zhu took the initiative to reveal his identity: "I'm also waiting for Principal Xu."
"Oh oh oh."
The driver originally thought this was Principal Xu's student, but then he felt something was wrong.
President Xu's administrative work is very busy. He no longer has master's degree students, and only has three or four doctoral students under him.
Which doctor looks so young?
Just when he was wondering, he saw the boy take out two packs of Chinese cigarettes from his schoolbag and stuff them directly into his hands.
"No, no, no.—"
The driver quickly excused himself.
He is not driving for Principal Xu full-time, but is just a member of the driver class. Usually, any school leader who wants to use a car will just make a phone call, and he must obey the arrangements.
Normally, he only plays the role of [driver] and is not assigned other roles, such as "the leader's confidant" and so on.
So basically no one would curry favor with me, let alone give away two packs of Soft China at once.
"Why are you so polite? Let's make friends."
Chen Zhu glanced at the office building and suddenly said: "Principal Xu is here. It won't be good if we push him around like this."
"ah?"
The driver couldn't help but be stunned. Two packs of Chinese had already been stuffed into his arms.
Only then did the driver realize that the entrance to the office building was empty and no one was there, so he understood that 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 half-heartedly, but the male college student was already very pleasing to the eye.
He was also happy to reply to Chen Zhu's chats.
"Brother, you usually have a hard time driving for Principal Xu."
"It's okay. Principal Xu doesn't like using cars very much. He likes to take the bus most of the time. Unless he really needs it, he usually won't use us."
"Hey! Principal Xu is really an admirable teacher. For the sake of the development of the school, he probably doesn't have much time to cultivate hobbies."
"Hmm---it's okay. Principal Xu likes to write poems and post them on his blog. It shouldn't waste any time."
"Principal Xu is so elegant! Brother, do you have the address of Principal Xu's blog? I want to learn about it."
"Where do I have that thing? I heard it from other people."
Within a few minutes, under Chen Zhu's deliberate clichés and with two bags of soft Chinese words, the driver accidentally revealed some seemingly ordinary trivial matters in life.
"So Principal Xu likes poetry?"
Chen Zhu thought again of Zheng Wenlong's obsession with paintings, and thought that he was still an intellectual of that era, and his hobbies were so stylish.
In our generation, singing karaoke and massage.
In the next generation, King of Glory and Genshin Impact are launched.
Spiritual food is becoming increasingly scarce from generation to generation.
However, in order not to arouse suspicion, Chen Zhu only made some inquiries and then skipped these topics.
After a while, three school leaders, Xu Ning, Shu Yuan and Lin Jinping, actually appeared at the door of the office building.
Chen Zhu stopped talking to the driver. He took the initiative to say hello and opened the door politely.
It should be noted that in this kind 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.
Second is the co-pilot.
As for the last row, not only is the space relatively narrow, but three people have to squeeze in when it is full, making it very uncomfortable to sit there.
But there are only five drivers today, how should we arrange it?
With Chen Zhu's current status, he definitely couldn't take the initiative to speak. The correct approach was 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 called sitting on the wrong seat?
If Xu Xiao sits in the passenger seat, that would be wrong. He should choose one of the two most comfortable positions.
In other words, if Dean Shu or Dean Lin takes the initiative to go to the last row because they are too modest, they must be stopped in time.
The last row is where Chen is.
Fortunately, the three school leaders were relatively worry-free and did not cause any trouble to Chen Zhu. They all found suitable positions according to normal social order.
Dean Shu is in the passenger seat, and Principal Xu and Dean Lin are in the two most comfortable positions.
Chen was sitting in the last row. He guessed that the reason why Dean Shu grabbed the passenger seat was because Dean Lin was older and more senior, so he took the initiative to let him go.
After everyone was seated securely, the commercial vehicle started slowly.
By this time, the cafeteria had already opened for dinner, and college students were walking in groups on Yixian Road on campus, with happy and satisfied smiles on their faces.
"Deep~, drip~"
The commercial vehicle honked its horn several times, like a rowing boat, gently pushing aside these simple college students.
Occasionally, some students would look at the commercial vehicle curiously, but their view was blocked by the gray-black window film.
Who would have thought that Chen Zhu, who was only a freshman at this time, would already be sitting in the same car with three school leaders based on his ability and skills.
In and out of the car.
People in front and behind.
On the way from school to Lei Garden Restaurant, the three school leaders kept chatting.
The content of the chat is relatively complex, including current social affairs, academic research, and occasionally a bit of family gossip.
Chen Zhu was very quiet in the last row and did not interfere in the chat among the bosses.
There is no need to adjust the atmosphere in this situation. Speaking out randomly will only leave the impression of "not stable enough and like to show off" to the teachers.
Unless Dean Shu takes the initiative and asks, "Chen Zhu, what are you holding in your hand?"
Chen Zhu then replied: "Looking back on the financial records of the past three months, I would like to ask Brother Zheng and Director Lu to help guide the company's management issues."
The three leaders are not fools, especially Xu Ning and Shu Yuan. They all heard that Chen's "asking for guidance" was fake, and that it was true to show off the company's strength.
So, the topic turned to Chen Zhu again.
"Chen Zhu considers the problem quite thoughtfully.
Shu Yuan praised the students in his courtyard without hesitation.
"The understanding is also relatively strong, which shows that he has political sensitivity and political stance."
Professor Lin Jinping from the Horse School also echoed.
He always felt that a student who could draw some important conclusions from his father's conversations and discussions was simply a born "Marxist-Leninist".
Principal Xu and Chen Zhu didn't usually have close contact, but they were very aware of what this student was doing.
While listening to the comments from his colleagues, he turned to look at Chen Chen with a smile, his eyes gentle and a little curious.
Chen Zhu immediately responded with a kind smile.
Just chatting leisurely like this, more than 20 minutes later, the business car arrived at Lei Garden Restaurant.
When Chen Zhu got out of the car, he took a glance and saw that the Mercedes-Benz S600 loaded with gifts was already parked in the open-air parking lot, and Ma Haijun was taking a nap while leaning on the back of his chair.
Chen Zhu did not go to say hello, but brought three school leaders to the private room. Soon a waiter wearing a cheongsam came in to pour tea.
The antique decoration style, coupled with the rising aroma of tea, all exudes the charm of an oriental banquet.
Xu Ning and the others did not serve the food directly, but drank tea on the sofa in the private room while waiting for Zheng Wenlong.
This is also a very important etiquette. Some people arrive early. They will choose a big chair on the table to sit down, and even pick up the goblet on the table to pour tea and drink water.
What are the disadvantages of this?
The meal has not started, the position has not been completely decided, that chair is not necessarily your final seat, and the cup you drank from is considered "contaminated".
Some people say, just change to a goblet!
Some guests are more particular or pretentious, so they pay more attention to these details.
Therefore, the more important the dinner is, the more attention should be paid to every word and action.
Before finishing a cup of tea, a middle-aged woman wearing a black suit and shiny black leather shoes walked in from outside.
Before they met, a professional smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Chen, good evening."
The middle-aged woman said to Chen Zhu.
"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, Shuyuan 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 a little strange in their hearts. Are Chen Zhu and Li Yuan familiar with each other? How come they are familiar with the floor manager here?
Chen Zhu seemed to know what they were thinking. He crossed his hands and explained, "I'm coming over this afternoon. I just met Manager Zou."
"Mr. Chen is very careful in his work."
The floor manager was also very knowledgeable. She immediately followed up and said, "Not only did she check the environment of the private room, she also checked the dishes twice."
"Chen Zhu, you came here specially this afternoon?"
Shu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
Chen Zhu is driven and enterprising, very down-to-earth in his work, and has a high emotional intelligence. His conversation is very sophisticated despite his young age.
From a teacher's point of view, there is almost nothing one dislikes about students like Chen Zhu.
What's more, Shu Yuan also wants to use Chen Zhu as a model to study the upper limit of entrepreneurship for college students.
"Look, he even checked the dishes before eating. Dean Lin even clapped his hands and said regretfully: "I'll just say he chose the wrong major. It's perfect for the horse academy. His career in the future will definitely be smooth sailing!"
Principal Xu's eyes also showed appreciation. Chen Zhu's performance so far was worthy of Dean Shu's usual descriptions and praises.
At this moment, Dean Shu's cell phone rang. He glanced at it and said, "President Zheng's message. He said there was a traffic jam, otherwise he should have arrived earlier. We are still a few hundred meters away."
After hearing this, Chen Zhu straightened his clothes and stood up.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished tidying up, he saw Shu Yuan turning his head.
Chapter completed!
