Chapter 135: Delicious Buns
The news spread rapidly in the department as if it had wings.
The teachers were all very excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Many teachers went around to Chen Feng's seat or took the opportunity to see him in the corridor just to ask him in person whether the story about the house was true.
It’s not that they don’t trust Professor Chi, but the issue of housing is so important to every family. Who doesn’t want to confirm it again and again?
Even the teachers who were not very familiar with Chen Feng would greet him with a smile and take the initiative to talk when they met.
As for Chen Feng, he did not put on airs at all just because he became a "celebrity". He was polite and humble to every teacher.
As a result, his reputation in the department soared and he received rave reviews.
Teacher Zhu Hewei was even more of an action-oriented person. He directly pulled his newly married bride and insisted on treating Chen Feng to a meal.
Chen Feng knew that Teacher Zhu came from an ordinary family and had a low salary, so this meal would probably cost him a lot of money. He felt bad about it and wanted to rush to pay the bill.
Teacher Zhu waved his hand, refusing to give in. "Chen Feng, you gave me a room, and I have nothing to thank you for. I'm treating you to a meal, and you're still being polite to me? No way!"
At this point, Chen Feng couldn't refuse any longer and had to accept. But he was thinking that once the operating system project was launched, the teachers in the department, including Professor Zhu, would have a better life, and money would no longer be an issue.
On the other hand, Chen Feng was busy helping his seniors solve the accommodation problem of working overtime at night.
He consulted with the professor and converted a large warehouse on the same floor as the computer room into a temporary lounge, divided into men's and women's sides.
There was a folding sofa bed that he specially customized inside. It was a sofa during the day and a bed at night. It was also equipped with brand new bedding, which was much more comfortable than the dormitory.
The seniors were delighted and said that this was a great tool for overtime work.
Chen Feng hadn't finished yet. He remembered something and called Teresa Teng who was far away abroad, asking her to help buy a few microwave ovens and send them back.
At that time, microwave ovens were still a rarity in China. Most people had never heard of them, let alone used them.
It was not until the late 80s that a few brands such as Panasonic and Sharp entered the domestic market, but ordinary families could not afford them and only a few families could use them.
When the microwave arrived, Liu Dongdong was the first to try it out. He put his food in to heat it up, and when he came out he exclaimed, "How convenient! Junior brother, where did you get this treasure from?"
Chen Feng smiled and replied, "I bought it from a friend abroad. I'll be using it to heat up food from now on. Just remember not to put any metal in it."
Liu Dongdong smiled and patted Chen Feng's shoulder, her beautiful eyes full of admiration. "You kid, you're really good at being a capitalist. It's so comfortable here, I don't even want to go back to the dormitory. I feel like I'm being 'exploited' by you every day."
Chen Feng laughed heartily: "This is just the beginning! I still have my ultimate move to make!"
Not long after, Chen Feng got a refrigerator from somewhere and filled it with all kinds of ice cream.
Now, several senior sisters have completely "fallen" and set up camp in the lounge at night, not even returning to the dormitory.
Especially Mo Zhaodi, who directly occupied the sofa bed closest to the refrigerator. Chen Feng had to remind her from time to time not to drink too much cold drinks and be careful of stomachache.
...
As soon as Luo Zhongli and Axia arrived in Shenzhen, they were almost shocked by the scene before them.
How can this be the legendary hot land?
The dilapidated little fishing village was full of desolation, and it looked much inferior to the villages in their hometown in Sichuan.
"Is this where we are going?" Axia looked incredulous.
Luo Zhongli also frowned: "If I hadn't taken the 200,000 yuan from Lao Qi, I really wanted to pack up and go back immediately."
The two looked at each other!
But unexpectedly, in just half a year, the situation here has changed dramatically.
Construction was in full swing everywhere, with large and small companies flocking in. Even many Cantonese-speaking people from Hong Kong Island came and were busy planning and building factories.
Factories and office buildings popped up like mushrooms after a rain, allowing Luo Zhongli and Axia to truly feel what "hot land" means.
"Fuck, Lao Qi's vision is amazing!" Luo Zhongli was so excited that he slapped his thigh and even cursed.
Not wanting to lag behind, they immediately plunged into the entrepreneurial wave.
They acted immediately and opened the first Sichuan restaurant "Nanfengju" in Luohu.
As soon as the store opened, the business was booming.
At that time, not many people could afford to open a restaurant with 200,000 yuan, so their restaurant was of high quality, luxuriously decorated, and one of the largest in Luohu area.
People flocked to their restaurant for dinners and business talks. The place was packed every day, and Ah Xia couldn't handle it all by herself. She had no choice but to hire a team of chefs from her hometown to help.
After hearing this, Chen Feng was also very happy.
Luo Zhongli incorporated his name into the store name, and he appreciated the kindness.
As for what would happen to the restaurant in the future, he didn't worry too much.
Even if Axia later brought a bunch of relatives over and the restaurant gradually became a family business, Chen Feng didn't care.
He had only invested 200,000 yuan, which gave him a 15% stake. With the current business momentum, making money was a sure thing.
What’s more important is his own business!
Chen Feng transferred another 500,000 yuan to Luo Zhongli and asked him to help register the company.
Once everything is ready for the company, he plans to remotely control Luo Zhongli to make a fortune in the Special Administrative Region!
Luo Zhongli was also very motivated. Taking Chen Feng's money, he started running around, busy with handling procedures, looking for venues, and preparing to do a big job.
He was busy every day, but his heart was filled with joy. He realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and he must not miss it!
Ning Hezhong sat behind a large desk, looking down attentively at the documents in his hands, his brows sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed.
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door, interrupting his thoughts. He looked up and said in a steady voice, "Come in."
The door was gently pushed open, and Secretary Gao Qi walked in, holding a document in his hand with a serious expression.
He walked up to Ning Hezhong and respectfully handed him the documents. "Governor Ning, Minister Gao from the Organization Department has submitted a few candidates. I'd like you to review them and give me some advice."
Ning Hezhong took the document and quickly scanned it, only to see three names listed on it.
His eyes first fell on the first name - Li Minghui, Executive Vice Mayor of Ninghai City, followed by a long list of responsibilities: economy, finance, taxation, state-owned assets management, urban and rural planning, land resources, etc.
Gao Qi explained, "Minister Gao ranked him first. He is said to be Secretary Peng's preferred candidate."
