Chapter 122 The joy of housewarming
In the afternoon, Li Chen greeted Hang Tiecheng and spent a long time moving his belongings from his friend to the Youth Apartment.
Deng Yingming heard that Li Chen was moving today and was clamoring to treat him. Li Chen smiled and agreed: "Let's do this, on Saturday afternoon, I'll invite everyone to sit and have a meal." [bsp; Deng Yingming said: "Saturday, I'm not free, so why not just today. I'll have time tonight, so I can barely give you a face."
Li Chen knew that Deng Yingming was very busy and this guy was always busy dating women. Li Chen had to agree: "If you have time, others may not have time. I will try to find a few people to be lively together."
Li Chen called a few friends he knew, and everyone complained that Li Chen's notification was too sudden and the time he arranged was a bit tricky.
Li Chen said: "It doesn't matter. I'm just warming up tonight. I'll invite you again on Sunday. Deng Yingming said he is not available on weekends. If you don't have time today, come again on Sunday! Of course, I'm here today and you can also come on weekends."
Li Chen's good friend Jiang Jinhua when he was in college said, "Wow, that's not a two meal? Do you want to give me two gifts?"
Li Chen smiled and said, "Even if you give me a gift, I am a leader now. You should pay attention to the influence and never accept gifts."
Jiang Jinhua said: "Don't accept gifts? If you don't accept any gifts, the black hat on your head will probably not last long."
Although Li Chen was busy with part-time jobs in college, he did not lose his college life. In addition, he was cheerful and optimistic, so many of his friends had a good time, some of whom became indifferent after Li Chen went to the west.
After Li Chen returned from the west, Deng Yingming organized a dinner for him to rebuild the relationship.
However, only Deng Yingming, Jiang Jinhua and other particularly good friends knew about Li Chen's specific situation in the west. As for Li Chen's entry into the Dongjiang Management Committee and serving as the deputy director of the department-level office, no one knows that Li Chen also needs to pay attention to the influence and cannot promote it everywhere.
The job of civil servants is envied by most people in the country, but most people are scolding them.
Even Deng Yingming and Jiang Jinhua only knew that Li Chen had joined the Management Committee, but he didn't know his level and position. Jiang Jinhua even thought that Li Chen had to pass the civil service examination at the end of the year before he could obtain the formal establishment.
After receiving the temporary invitation, only Jiang Jinhua and others could have time to come to the evening. Li Chen thought about it and called Fang Hui and Cheng Rui while the boiling point was still there, asking if they were free, and if they had time, they had dinner together tonight.
The working hours of the consulting company are the least fixed, but Fang Hui and Cheng Rui happened to have time today and agreed.
After finalizing the dinner tonight, Li Chen has to move alone.
Li Chen had a lot of things to move, and there were people from moving companies who helped him move them quickly, but it took a lot of effort to clean up these things in a regular manner.
Looking at the room filled with all kinds of things, Li Chen felt a little regretful. He had known that he would have wanted a larger room, and the time to stay in the place was less.
House prices in Shencheng have risen very quickly in recent years. Li Chen has basically spent all his savings. He has done so many projects in Changba, but he has not made a penny from it. In order to thank him for his contribution to the village, Changba Township unanimously decided to give him a share of the same shares as villagers and participate in the dividends.
Originally, there were quite a few shares proposed by the village, but Li Chen refused. He wanted to reject the proposal, but Xu Ping said it sincerely: "Xiao Li, you must have this share. The people of Changba have regarded you as a member of us. If you do not accept the treatment that this villagers have, it is to cut off relations with our Changba, and everyone will be very sad."
Hearing Xu Ping say this, Li Chen had no choice but to agree.
However, Li Chen's shares are just like other villagers. On average, each person's share is minimal. Even if the projects in the village develop well in the future, there will not be too many dividends.
Li Chen had already decided that he would not ask for this part of the money and would donate it all to the Qimingxing Plan.
Li Chen is also worried about money now. The expenses in Shencheng are huge, but as a civil servant at the level of the department, he spends enough on daily expenses. However, when it comes to buying a house, it seems that this possibility is not possible within three to five years.
Li Chen always wanted to bring his mother to him. He used to go to school and went to the west, but now he still let his mother live alone in his hometown and is lonely, so he feels very uncomfortable.
Although the income of civil servants is good, they are not enough compared to the rich people in Shanghai. With standardized wages, they may not be as good as employees of high-tech enterprises in the park.
If Li Chen wants to make money, he will eliminate corruption and gray income, and exclude unregulated practices such as business that are strictly prohibited by policies. There are not many left. He may only choose from using his own expertise and part-time jobs, or buying stocks, investment and financial management.
If he is engaged in investment, he has no capital now. As for part-time jobs, it will definitely affect his job.
What happened to Li Chen in the information research department today made him decide to study for a postgraduate degree. Now his bachelor's degree doesn't seem to be very dependent. He doesn't have time to stay on campus for two or three years, so he plans to apply for a part-time graduate student, preferably not from the Party School.
It takes a lot of time to review the exam, and there is not much free time left for him.
In the afternoon, Chen Yu called Li Chen and asked with a smile: "Director Li, I heard from Section Chief Chu, you want to live in the Youth Apartment too?"
Chen Yu laughed very well. It was not surprising that she knew about this situation from Chu Xinru. Although Chen Yu was not in charge of the comprehensive department, the reception work she was in charge of often requires the cooperation of the comprehensive department. She is also one of the leaders of the comprehensive department. The department is not so rigid. The deputy director of the office can be said to be the joint leader of the following departments, but generally does not involve the content in charge and will not interfere with each other casually.
Li Chen smiled and said, "Yes, everyone will be neighbors in the future. We will ask Director Chen to take care of him!"
"Director Li is polite," Chen Yu smiled and said, "To celebrate your move in, I will find a few colleagues who also live in the youth apartment. Let's have a meal together tonight?"
Li Chen was immediately embarrassed: "Sorry, I moved out of my classmates. They all said they would celebrate my housewarming. Just tonight, why not let it go?"
Chen Yu was a little curious about Li Chen's background and asked, "Then have you settled in your place? Is it here in Dongjiang?"
Li Chen said: "The place has not been settled yet. I will go out to check it out later. Let's settle it nearby. What good places can Chen Ke introduce?"
Chen Yu was in charge of the reception and was very familiar with the places to eat around: "If it was a dinner party for friends, the Yingshan Hongxiang Restaurant at the food court of Dongjiang Metro Station will have a good life."
"Director Li, since you are your classmate, why would we join together? How do you think?"
Li Chen didn't expect Chen Yu to be so enthusiastic. He thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes, but I'm quite strange. Director Chen, you are responsible for the reception work. Do you have no tasks tonight?"
Li Chen is indeed quite strange. The leaders of the agency are sometimes busier than during the day and have to go to different venues. They have to eat and drink every night, so they can't make arrangements.
As the chief executive in this regard, Chen Yu should naturally be busier.
Chen Yu smiled and said, "I have some reception tasks, but I am also at the Furong Hotel in the food court. Our management committee will have reception tasks, and most of them will be arranged there."
After all, the development history of Dongjiang High-Tech Park is not very long, and the location of the park is relatively remote from the traditional central urban area. Moreover, it focuses on the development of high-tech industries. The population is not large. Unlike the central urban area where food and entertainment are everywhere, it is mainly concentrated near the subway station.
Chen Yu said: "Director Li and I have a chance to have dinner, but I just told a few acquaintances that you want to live in a youth apartment. Everyone is very excited. If you want to meet you, it won't be too abrupt, right?"
After spending time together at noon, Li Chen and Chen Yu were quite familiar with each other. Chen Yu knew that Li Chen's personality was still relatively close, which was also the main feature of the cadres of the Dongjiang Management Committee. They were both young and easy to talk.
Li Chen smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's great to know two more new friends!"
Chen Yu said happily: "Then it's settled. Let me arrange the place. Let's have a meal together for life. How about it?"
Li Chen said: "Okay, there are about seven or eight people here, please see what you want to make arrangements!"
On the side of the classmate, Li Chen made an appointment with Deng Yingming, Jiang Jinhua, Xue Zhi, and Deng Yingming's girlfriend, a total of four people, as well as Fang Hui and Cheng Rui, who were boiling. After thinking about it, Li Chen called Yu Yaoyu from the research department again.
"Yu Yaoyu, do you have time tonight? I just moved to the Youth Apartment in the afternoon. Director Chen Yu said he would celebrate my housewarming. He made an appointment with a few colleagues who also live in the Youth Apartment. If you have time, come together?" Li Chen said.
Yu Yaoyu felt very strange when she received the call from Li Chen, especially when Li Chen asked her if she had time tonight, which made her sweat even more.
Yu Yaoyu is still very confident in her appearance. Thinking of Li Chen's background, she might be a romantic playboy.
However, after hearing Li Chen's words, she realized that she was thinking too much and hurriedly said, "Okay, I live in a youth apartment, do you want to help?"
Li Chen is the immediate boss of the research department, so Yu Yaoyu could not refuse such an invitation.
The work pace in Shencheng is very fast and works late at night. Li Chen told everyone that the place was good. If you get off work early, you should go to the room first and then go to the restaurant for dinner. If you get off work late, you should go to the hotel directly.
Deng Yingming was very chic. Just after five o'clock, he came with a fashionable and tall girl. When he came in, he introduced to Li Chen: "Little Li Zi, this is my girlfriend Zhao Jie, Zhao Jie, this is my brother, Li Chen, everyone calls him Xiao Li Zi."
Li Chen was helpless and smiled and greeted Zhao Jie: "Hello."
