"Okay, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? I have time."
Listening to Zhang Zhong's straightforward answer on the phone, Xu Yuhan curled her lips. She knew it would be like this. It would be strange for this guy to be afraid.
"The day after tomorrow." Xu Yuhan said.
"Okay, then I'll book a hotel for lunch the day after tomorrow."
"Uncle and aunt, please don't take them with you this time. Let's meet again next time we have a chance."
"Okay, I know, I'll take the lead first." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
"Well, I won't tell you anymore."
After talking to Xu Yuhan on the phone, Zhang Zhong called Lin Lin and asked him if he had any good hotel recommendations.
Zhang Zhong has been back for such a long time, and the place he went to most was Hong Yun Lai, but the fat man Lin Ruoshui was too enthusiastic, so he didn't want to have this kind of private gathering there.
Lin Lin loves to eat and drink, but he may not be proficient in other things. You are right to ask him about this.
Things went as Zhang Zhong thought. When the call came through, he just asked which hotel was good, and Lin Lin kept talking to him for seven or eight minutes.
There is a mutton restaurant in the east gate, a big pot restaurant in the south gate, a new authentic soup dumpling restaurant in the west gate, and the steak in the north gate is passable, and Lin Lin has it all.
Finally, according to Zhang Zhong's request, Lin Lin recommended a local restaurant not far from Shouchun Road. Although the place is not big, the environment is good. The most important thing is that the boss is good at cooking, authentic and delicious.
"Let's do this. Tell me the time. I know his boss well. I'll order it for you. He won't fool me. In addition, I also saved a jar of liquor at his place. Don't bring any wine with you. Just go directly.
Just drink from me."
"You reserve a seat for me first, and then we'll do the rest."
"Okay, I'll let you know when it's decided later."
Zhang Zhong smiled and shook his head. He was the right guy to ask for dinner, but why did this guy keep the wine wherever he went? It wasn't too much trouble.
Later, after the seats were reserved, the restaurant owner called Zhang Zhong and asked him what he wanted to order. Zhang Zhong asked the owner to cook a few special dishes. It must be for Lin Lin's sake that the owner would not fool him.
…
Chen Qing came very early, Zhang Zhong asked him to come for dinner, and he came before the others at four o'clock in the afternoon.
When he came, he was carrying a bunch of gifts, and Zhang Zhong scolded him, "I told you not to bring anything. Do you think I'm being polite to you? If you do this, I'll invite you over for dinner every day."
Chen Qing smiled and said, "I brought something for my uncle, aunt and Pengpeng. Boss, if you ask me to come for dinner every day, then I can't ask for more. Don't worry, this little thing won't make me rich."
"Okay, stop showing off your wealth to me and go in."
Chen Qing was very familiar with Zhang Zhong's family. He entered the room and said hello to the couple, then asked, "Where's Pengpeng?"
"I'm painting, and I just have something to tell you. Come with me to the second floor."
"good."
The two went to the study room, and Zhang Zhong poured Chen Qing a glass of water.
The study room on the second floor is well-equipped and has a sofa. The two of them sat on the sofa with tea.
"What does the boss want to say to me?" Chen Qing asked.
"It's not anything important, I just want to ask how your negotiation with TEDA Real Estate went."
Chen Qing frowned and said, "It's not good, it probably won't work. I also asked Principal Hong about this matter. It seems that the school and TEDA Real Estate had an unpleasant quarrel because of this land before. This time TEDA Real Estate is like this
It should not be aimed at us, but at the school."
Zhang nodded and said, "If that's the case, don't force it. The land TEDA acquired has nothing good about it except that it's close to Jiangyang University."
There is really nothing good about it. If you build a community on that land, it will be okay. If you want to build a shopping mall, you probably won't be able to build it within ten years.
The commercial center around the school is Fangda Square in the southwest, while the northeast is still a wasteland.
The most important thing is that most of the Jiangyang University buildings are on the southwest side. There are two gates on the south side and two small gates on the north side. The small door in the northeast is still closed. Students who want to go to the northeast have to go through
wall, or make a big circle.
This door was closed a long time ago, and now it is probably even less likely to be opened because of TEDA Real Estate.
"There is a piece of land behind the mountain to the north of the school. Although it is not next to the school, there is a hill in the middle. If we can get that piece of land, we should be able to use it."
Zhang Zhong waved his hands and said, "I won't consider this in advance. In addition to this matter, I also want to ask about the Zero Zero One website. I saw they held a science fiction essay competition a few days ago. How is it going now?"
"The event is in cooperation with a magazine, and it's almost over. The first prize has been announced, and it's Qin Zhao's "Small World." This novel will be serialized in the magazine next week."
"Oh? Is it Qin Zhao's work?" Zhang Zhong said with some surprise, "What is this "Small World" about?"
Chen Qing said with a smile, "Boss, do you still know?"
"I don't know if it's weird?"
Chen Qing was stunned, "Boss, you really don't know. Qin Zhao attached a note at the end of the submitted manuscript, saying that he was not the only author of this novel, but co-signed it with you. Could it be that this guy is deliberately trying to be a gimmick?"
"
Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows. He knew a little about Qin Zhao, and he shouldn't be able to do such a thing.
"Tell me first what this novel is about."
"The plot of the story is probably that humans have invented a technology that can shrink people many times..."
After listening to Chen Qing's description, Zhang Zhong suddenly realized that Qin Zhao's novel had something to do with him, because this was exactly the outline of the "Micro Era" story he had told Qin Zhao before, and he had indeed told him that at the time.
He could also write it, but I didn't expect that he would really remember it in his heart and write a long story.
Zhang Zhong looked at Chen Qing and said with a half-smile, "Let me tell you, your memory is not as good as that of a child. Didn't I tell you this story when we were together during the Spring Festival? You were also there."
"Really? I'm not very impressed." Chen Qing scratched his head and said.
"You see, this is the difference between you and Qin Zhao. You are so focused on work now, how can you think about this?"
"That's right, otherwise why wouldn't I be a writer? What about this signature thing?"
"Forget it being signed. If he really wants to mention it, just mention the source of inspiration in the book."
"I think so, and it may not be a good thing to actually sign. He is still a newcomer. Putting your name in the author column with his name will have no positive impact on either of you."
Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "I don't care. I'm just afraid that some people will say that he is deliberately clinging to you. Besides, he doesn't need these extra things."
