The Pentium Era - South to North

Tan Shuzhen and the others quickly determined that two pieces of land in Xixi, Hangzhou, would be their key projects in Hangzhou. The two pieces of land were connected together, one was for commercial and residential use, and the other was for residential use.

They plan to combine the two plots of land into one project to build a super five-star hotel and a high-end residential community.

The purpose of building a hotel and a residence together is of course to use the hotel to improve the quality of the residential area. The two pieces of land are adjacent to the Xixi Wetland, and the geographical location can be said to be quite superior.

They took pictures of these two pieces of land four or five years ago. At that time, Xixi was still deserted and deserted.

Nowadays, Xixi Wetland has become the most popular scenic spot in Hangzhou, especially after the screening of the New Year film "If You Are the One" directed by Feng Xiaogang at the end of last year. ", which made this place completely popular.

The original focus of Hangzhou's tourism was on the West Lake. There was not even a decent hotel near the Xixi Wetland. Tan Shuzhen and the others are now planning to build a super five-star hotel here, which can be said to be the right time.

Tan Shuzhen and Lao Tan said that we will work on this project slowly, just like Taohuayuan, and work slowly and carefully.

Lao Tan made it clear, this is our flag-planting project.

Tan Shuzhen said yes, waving her sleeves, but we have to leave a cloud. After all, we are a real estate company in Hangzhou. We cannot have no projects in Hangzhou. With this project, we can often appear in the media. , showing that our Jinxiu Group still exists.

Lao Tan said: "Why does this sound a bit sad?"

"That's it, brother." Tan Shuzhen said, "I don't want to leave Hangzhou, but there is no place for us in Hangzhou now."

I made up my mind to start this project from scratch, overturn all the original planning and design, re-plan, re-design, and re-apply.

In addition to this project, other projects in Hangzhou should be cleared as soon as possible according to what Tan Shuzhen said. Those that cannot be sold should also be booked as soon as possible.

In Shanghai, they chose a piece of land by the Huangpu River on Puming Road. The land was large enough, more than 140 acres. This place is not very busy yet, but it is located between Lujiazui and Xingjian In the middle of the Expo area, Tan Shuzhen believes that after the Expo, this place will definitely become lively and has unlimited potential. They are not in a hurry anyway and will take their time.

Like Hangzhou, other projects in Shanghai should be cleared as soon as possible. Tan Shuzhen asked Lao Wan to focus on Songjiang.

…

In October, there are two major events for Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen, one is the wedding of Xiao Wu and Xu Qiaoxin, and the other is also the wedding of Xiao Shu and Yao Fen.

Xiaoshu is a graduate student in the United States and has not graduated yet. She was not in a hurry at first, but Zhang Chen’s mother said that Yao Fen is not young, already in her thirties. Women are too old and are not good for fertility. If she gets pregnant now, , she is already an advanced maternal age.

Xiaoshu's parents also support Zhang Chen's mother's idea, so they are still planning to hold Xiaoshu and Yao Fen's wedding this year.

Xiaoshu has settled down, and of course there will be no problem with Yao Fen. She has already severed ties with her family and has not had contact with her for several years. She can make the decision on this matter by herself.

The weddings of the two couples, Xiao Wu and Xu Qiaoxin's, were scheduled for October 2, and Xiao Shu and Yao Fen's were scheduled for October 5, three days apart.

After the wedding date was set, Xiaoshu's mother told Xiaoshu that he should go meet Yao Fen's parents and invite them.

Zhang Chen’s mother is right. After all, they are Yao Fen’s parents. Even if they have conflicts with Yao Fen, they don’t have any conflicts with you. You still have to take the initiative to come and marry someone else’s daughter. You can’t be silent at all. We still need some courtesy.

When Zhang Chen saw Xiaoshu's expression of embarrassment, he said to him, "I'll go with you, Xiaoshu. Just ask Yao Fen for their address."

When he heard that his brother-in-law was going with him, Xiaoshu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said okay.

At noon the next day, Zhang Chen took Xiaoshu to the supermarket first. The two of them didn't know what Yao Fen's parents liked or what they should buy. When they asked Yao Fen, Yao Fen refused to tell them. She also kept opposing them. Go, even when Xiaoshu asked her for the address, she refused to give it to her. It was Zhang Chen who called her. She had no choice but to send a text message to Zhang Chen.

All the old people are probably the same. Zhang Chen and Xiaoshu said that cigarettes and alcohol are essential items for giving gifts. They bought cigarettes and alcohol. Zhang Chen added that there are also health care products. They also bought Qingchun Bao and Tiepi. Maple Dou Jing.

Yao Fen's parents' home is on Jiangcheng Road, a little past the Chengzhan Railway Station. It is the dormitory of the Shanghai Railway Bureau. The house is very old, a five-story building built in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Entering through an iron gate, there is an open space the size of half a basketball court, with a house on each side and two units in each house. Up the stairs, there is one house on each side. There are a total of forty households in the entire yard.

Parking was not allowed inside the iron gate, so Zhang Chen could only park the car on the side of Jiangcheng Road. The two of them got out of the car and walked over carrying their things.

Yao Fen's parents' home is in Unit 402, the building on the right hand side of the entrance. The corridor is dimly lit. The further you go up, the smaller the tree falls behind Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen smiled and said, "What are you doing?"

Xiaoshu said quietly: "Brother-in-law, I have never done such a thing."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "It would be wrong if you do it often. How many times do you want to get married?"

Xiaoshu chuckled.

Arriving at the door of Room 402, Zhang Chen knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened a palm-wide crack, and a man appeared inside the door. He was about sixty years old, with a slicked back hair and a fair face. He looked up and down. After sizing up Zhang Chen, Xiao Shu had already hid behind Zhang Chen. He could see a head, but he couldn't look up and down.

He asked Zhang Chen: "Who are you looking for?"

"Uncle, is this Yao Fen's home?" Zhang Chen asked.

The man didn't say yes or no. He didn't open the door or close it. There was still a gap as wide as a hand, but the other person turned around and walked away.

Zhang Chen was considering whether he should open the door and go in. Another woman of similar age appeared in the door. She looked Zhang Chen up and down, then looked at the things he was carrying, and asked: " Who are you looking for?"

Zhang Chen could only ask again: "Auntie, is this Yao Fen's home?"

"No." The other party said without thinking, but he still stood in the crack of the door with no intention of leaving. Zhang Chen remembered and asked a supplementary question;

"Aunt, are you Yao Fen's mother?"

The other party still didn't say yes or no, but asked instead: "Who are you?"

Zhang Chen said: "I am the general manager of Yao Fen's original company."

"what company?"

"Yao Fen of Banmutian Group turned out to be the curator of our 'Lakeside Oil Painting Gallery' below." Zhang Chen said.

"Where is she now?" the person at the door asked.

"Now I am the assistant to the chairman of Jinxiu Group." Zhang Chen said.

The other party's eyes jumped. It was obviously the first time he heard the news and he was a little surprised.

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "Auntie, can we go in?"

The other party hesitated for a moment and said nothing, but finally opened the door.

Zhang Chen saw that the house was about forty or fifty square meters, and the layout of the house was clear at a glance. It was similar to all the houses of that era, with two bedrooms, one living room, and one bathroom.

The hall you enter is multi-functional. It is a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen. There is a cement table built against the left foot of the wall, covered with white tiles, and a gas stove placed on it. On the left side is a square, slightly higher platform, also covered with white tiles.

There is a chopping board placed on the slightly higher table. Under the table, there is a wooden door. There should be a gas tank in the door.

To the right of the gas stove is a terrazzo pool. There is no range hood above the gas stove. There is only a ventilation fan installed on the window behind the gas stove. When cooking, turn on the ventilation fan and it will be the range hood.

The whole place is only about seven or eight square meters. Apart from the stove, there is no room for any other furniture. Apart from a refrigerator, there is also a square table.

This table is used for eating and entertaining guests. The leftovers from lunch are still there, covered with a blue plastic mesh dish cover. Zhang Chen looked around and saw that the things in his hands were also there. There was no place to put it, so he put it on the ground next to the refrigerator and against the wall. The little tree followed suit and put down the things in his hands.

Yao Fen's father, who had appeared before, disappeared when Zhang Chen and the others came in. He should have disappeared behind one of the two closed doors. There was also a closed door, which was the bathroom, bathroom and The rooms are very distinguishable, not only because the bathroom door is much smaller than the room door, but the lower part of the door is also made into a shutter.

Although the bathroom door was closed, Zhang Chen and the others smelled the smell of the toilet as soon as they entered. The smell came from the blinds below. Zhang Chen knew that such a bathroom must not even have a flush toilet. It was still squatting. Houses in that era were like this. Having a separate bathroom of your own was considered very high-end.

After Zhang Chen and Xiao Shu put down their things, the other party probably confirmed that the things they were holding were for her. If she were to be more polite, she would be embarrassed. She asked Zhang Chen and Xiao Shu to sit at the table.

Zhang Chen introduced himself and said, My surname is Zhang, my name is Zhang Chen, my bow is long, and in the morning, I am a small tree, a small tree like a big tree.

Yao Fen's mother nodded and finally spoke. She asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Aunt, we are here to send invitations to you and uncle." Zhang Chen said.

"Invitation? What invitation?"

Xiaoshu took out two invitations from the bag, hesitated for a moment, and handed them to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen handed them to Yao Fen's mother. Zhang Chen said:

"I am Xiaoshu's brother-in-law. So, aunt, Xiaoshu and Yao Fen are getting married. We are here to invite you and uncle to attend their wedding."

Yao Fen's mother retracted her outstretched hand. She did not accept the invitation, and her face slowly turned cold. This scene was a bit embarrassing. Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment and could only put the invitation on the table. Zhang Chen was about to say something else. Yao Fen Mom waved her hand and said coldly:

"You don't need to tell me. I don't know the person you're talking about, and I don't want to know her. Whether she wants to get married or who she marries has nothing to do with us."
