Chapter 156: The Messenger of Flowers
With Li Chen's wealth, there is no question of buying a car now, let alone high-end cars like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, although the salary and benefits of civil servants are pretty good, there is still a big gap compared to those of real rich people.
Of course, this refers to legitimate income. In fact, most of the time, the income of an official cannot be calculated only. In ancient times, there was a saying that "three years of Qing magistrate, 100,000 snowflakes". In today's era, a small section-level cadre may make tens of millions, and the amount of corruption cases is calculated in tens of millions or hundreds of millions of yuan. This is still found out.[]
Of course, Li Chen would not look at him from such a majority, so there is really no possibility of asking him to buy a car now, so he had to take the subway with Shu Xuan, and then run a thousand meters away after leaving the station before he arrived at the bank building where Shu Xuan worked.
Binjiang Financial District is the most modern neighborhood in Shendong and even Shencheng. It is full of tall buildings and has three top ten buildings in the world. Skyscrapers over 200 meters are everywhere.
Being able to work here is the dream of many college students, but they don’t know that behind their glamorous appearance is heavy work pressure and mental pressure.
Coincidentally, Li Chen and Shu Xuan held hands. As soon as they arrived at the bottom of the building, a calm and atmospheric Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped on the side of the road. Behind the half-open window, a man in his thirties was exposed, and he looked over with surprise: "Shu Xuan?"
Shu Xuan was obviously surprised to see this car and the people in the car. She was originally very happy, but when she was about to arrive at the company, she became more and more nervous. At this moment, she was like a frightened bird, so scared that she almost jumped up. She held Li Chen's hand tightly and nodded restraintly to the man in the car: "Hello, Manager Cheng."
Manager Cheng stared at Shu Xuan and Li Chen's hands holding each other for a while, and a cold snorted from his nostrils. He didn't say anything, and started running again and moved forward.
Li Chen looked at Shu Xuan and smiled and said, "Why, are you afraid of the person just now? He is the leader who has the intention to you?"
Shu Xuan nodded carefully: "Yes, his name is Cheng Lin. The manager of our department has returned from studying in the United States. The company's senior management values him very much."
Li Chen smiled: "Then he'd better be polite to you, otherwise, I don't mind driving him back to the United States."
Li Chen said it very exaggeratedly, but when Shu Xuan heard it, she suddenly felt a sense of security and couldn't help but lean against Li Chen. The two of them walked closely toward the elevator.
"Ah, Shu Xuan!" A surprised voice sounded. A young woman in her thirties and plump body stood in front of the elevator, looking at Shu Xuan and Li Chen in surprise, her eyes constantly circling on them.
The young woman did not hide her surprise at all: "Shu Xuan, is this... your boyfriend?"
Shu Xuan quickly stood up and got a little further away from Li Chen, but she held hands with Li Chen and showed her boyfriend in front of an acquaintance for the first time. She was both excited and nervous.
Shu Xuan raised her beautiful face and looked at Li Chen, nodded vigorously: "Well, my boyfriend, Li Chen."
"Li Chen, this is my colleague in the department, Jiang Jiewen, and Sister Jiang take good care of me."
Hearing that Jiang Jiewen takes good care of Shu Xuan, Li Chen smiled and nodded: "Hello, Sister Jiang, thank you for your care of Xuan Xuan."
Jiang Jiewen smiled meaningfully, looked Li Chen up and down, and then stretched out a white and plump little hand: "Hello, Mr. Li is just high, Shu Xuan is our profession. You just pried it away like this. Be careful that our bankers are fighting with you."
Li Chen smiled slightly, reached out and shook Jiang Jiewen gently: "I work at the Dongjiang Management Committee. If you want to poach, you don't dare to be it. Shu Xuan and I were classmates from college and have known each other for a long time."
"Oh?" Jiang Jiewen's eyes lit up: "It turns out that Mr. Li is Shu Xuan's classmate, so it's no wonder. I don't know what position Mr. Li holds in Dongjiang, so my husband works in the Software Park."
When he heard that Li Chen works in the government, Jiang Jiewen said politely that people in the government are very energetic these days. Even if they are clerks, they can make people who go to work hard.
Although Li Chen and Shu Xuan are classmates and should have just become civil servants, and their level will not be too high, the first thing they can enter the agency shows that Li Chen should have some background and relationships; the second thing they say is not to deceive young people and poor people. Li Chen is young, which also means that there is a lot of room for growth in the future.
Although Jiang Jiewen doesn’t deal with government agencies much, it does not mean that there is no need for this in the future. Even if she doesn’t deal directly, if her child goes to school and someone at home is sick, she always has to find a relationship and know two more people. It’s not a bad thing.
Li Chen smiled and said, "Oh, I am currently in the Management Committee, serving as the deputy director of the office, in charge of information research. I am familiar with Mr. Tang and Mr. Tao from the Software Park. I don't know which company my brother-in-law is in?"
Li Chen is here to support Shu Xuan today. People are very open now. They will not consciously give up just because they know that you have a boyfriend and girlfriend to avoid becoming a mistress. They will say that you are not married yet, so you can compete fairly.
Moreover, Li Chen believes that the harassment Shu Xuan encounters is not just a normal pursuit of love, but may be sexual harassment in the office. This is immoral and others will not care whether you have a boyfriend or not.
Li Chen hoped that his identity could make some people more restrained, so he clearly told Jiang Jiewen about his position in the Management Committee.
Jiang Jiewen was slightly stunned. In some places, the park management committees of high-tech zones and development zones directly called the Management Committee Office. Although the Management Committee Office in Dongjiang is only a secondary organization under the Management Committee, it is also a deputy department-level organization. The deputy director should be at the level of a section. Li Chen is young, is he already a full-time department?
Jiang Jiewen was a little unbelievable, but she soon thought of a possibility that Li Chen and Shu Xuan were classmates, but they may not be from the same class. Maybe it is possible that they are several years older than Shu Xuan.
Jiang Jiewen's eyes immediately became different. A new clerk and a full-level official obviously had no choice, let alone her husband's boss.
Jiang Jiewen smiled and said, "Director Li, are you talking about Mr. Tang and Mr. Tao, two deputy general managers of the Software Park Company, Tang Xinyang and Tao Xinjie?"
Li Chen nodded: "It's them, Sister Jiang is very familiar with them?"
Jiang Jiewen smiled and said, "Haha, that's really a coincidence. Tao Xinjie is my family. When will you and Shu Xuan go to our house to make it? The steak made by Lao Tao is very distinctive."
Jiang Jiewen looked at Li Chen carefully, hoping to see Li Chen's reaction to infer whether he was lying.
Li Chen smiled, smiling naturally: "It's really a coincidence. We had dinner together two days ago. Sister Jiang remembers to greet Mr. Tao for me. We must go and chat if we have time."
Seeing Li Chen's reaction, Jiang Jiewen basically confirmed in her heart that Li Chen's words would not be false, so she smiled and said, "Okay, you are Lao Tao's leader. If we Lao Tao has something to do in the future, we will bother you!"
If Jiang Jiewen was just polite to Li Chen before, then after knowing that Li Chen was the deputy director of the Dongjiang Management Committee Office, she became a little enthusiastic. Li Chen was already at the level of a section-level at such a young age, and her future was bright.
"Ding Dong!" The elevator finally arrived. During the peak hours of work in the morning, the elevator in this building was a bit ineffective. Li Chen, Shu Xuan and Jiang Jiewen were polite and polite, and walked into the elevator one after another. Just when the elevator door was about to close, a young man in a well-equipped suit reached out to block the elevator door and walked in.
"Manager Cheng!" Seeing this person, Shu Xuan and Jiang Jiewen quickly greeted him. Shu Xuan's face was a little unnatural. This person was Cheng Lin who had just met just now at the door, driving a Mercedes-Benz.
Cheng Lin nodded slightly, and then saw Li Chen's hands placing Shu Xuan's waist. His handsome face was suddenly covered with clouds, and a jealous look flashed through him.
"Shu Xuan, who is this?" Cheng Lin looked at Li Chen, his eyes without any concealing the deep hostility.
Shu Xuan grabbed Li Chen's palm nervously, and Li Chen smiled slightly: "Hello, Manager Cheng, I am Shu Xuan's boyfriend Li Chen, who works in the office of the Dongjiang Management Committee, and I'm lucky to meet."
It is impossible for Li Chen to say that he is the director of the Management Committee Office when he meets someone, but he still pointed out his work unit to Cheng Lin, which is the Management Committee Office.
A trace of contempt flashed across Cheng Lin's face. He saw Li Chen and Shu Xuan walking to the bank with his own eyes. In other words, they got off the bus or subway. Not only did they have no buses, they didn't even get a call. When facing Li Chen, he had a strong sense of superiority.
Li Chen had no intention of reaching out, and Cheng Lin had never thought of shaking hands with Li Chen. He smiled contemptuously: "Oh, office, I don't know which university Mr. Li graduated from. As a man, I'm a little embarrassed to serve tea and water in the office!"
Cheng Lin said clearly that he was sarcastic, and the sarcasm in his words were fully visible.
Li Chen smiled slightly: "Manager Cheng was joking. The job we do is to serve, serve the people, and serve the leaders. We are no longer as good as white-collar elites like Manager Cheng."
"Oh, by the way, I graduated from Shen University and I am in the same major as Shu Xuan. We have been together for four years. Shu Xuan works here, and I will ask Manager Cheng to take care of him in the future."
Li Chen said very politely. He has been practicing in the officialdom for more than a year, and his kung fu has been perfect in this area, which is not comparable to an elite like Cheng Lin who thinks he is a pride of heaven.
Cheng Lin's face suddenly became ugly: "Oh, are Mr. Li and Miss Shu classmates? Why haven't I heard Miss Shu mention it before? I remember that Miss Shu doesn't seem to have a boyfriend yet?"
