Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 532 The Pen Name of Cosplay Sister
After lunch, Professor Guan needed to rest.

Li Xianglan suggested that, regardless of whether a contract could be signed in the end, she would first take Yu Xuan to visit the gallery district in the capital.

“Handsome, you can come along too.”

Li Xianglan turned to Chen Zhe and said.

"...I have something to do this afternoon."

Chen said hesitantly, "I might not have time."

"Oh?"

Li Xianglan was quite curious: "What important thing could you possibly have to do, little one?"

"I made an appointment to chat with a friend."

Chen didn't lie.

"Oh~"

Li Xianglan glanced at Yu Xuan and asked with a smile, "Male or female, college classmates?"

"male."

Chen scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

He seemed like a shy young boy, somewhat embarrassed by the teasing of a middle-aged, greasy aunt.

"Geese, geese, geese~"

Li Xianglan found the young couple quite interesting, and only then did she remember to ask Chen Zhe's name.

"My name is Chen Zhe, you can just call me Xiao Chen."

Chen said.

"You are Chen Zhe!"

Li Xianglan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Chen thought that Supervisor Li had heard about his deeds, but she seemed to have mentioned that she had been abroad for a while and had only recently returned to China.

"Yu Xuan's paintings are all marked with this name. So it turns out they came from you."

Li Xianglan suddenly realized.

At this moment, Director Chen's expression remained unchanged, but his heart began to pound.

Li Xianglan has repeatedly stated that after the Eighth Academy Exchange Competition, she will widely promote Yu Xian, a rising star in the art world.

Even if Sweet Sister didn't care about these things back then, what about her family and friends?

Don't forget, Lu Lin even had the idea of ​​visiting the Eighth Academy's exchange competition.

When everyone saw that one of the top-ranked people was named "Chen Zhe," they found out that the winner was using his boyfriend's name as a pen name, and the real winner was named "Yu Xian."

Yu Xuan and Chen Zhe.

?

Then, the world exploded.

Therefore, Chen Zhe plans to persuade cosplay sister to change her "bad habit" of using other people's names as pen names.

It's just that Sichuan girls have a temperament; you can't force them. You have to take it slow and steady.

So, Chen sat down in the chair and made a "hehe" sound, using a pretentious gesture that seemed indifferent but was actually quite speechless, to attract the cosplayer's attention.

"What are you doing~"

Sure enough, Yu Xian walked over, naturally put her hands on her boyfriend's shoulders, and asked while kneading them, "You're not happy about it?"

"I'm willing, but it just feels weird."

Chen said with a smile.

"Humph~"

Xianmei applied a little more pressure: "What's wrong with it?"

"come here……"

Chen Zhe made the cosplayer bend down and whispered in her ear, "What if one day we can't control ourselves and cross that final line? Then I'll be called 'Chen Zhe,' and you'll be called 'Chen Zhe,' wouldn't I be 'Japanese' then?"

"Do you want to die!"

Yu Xuan was stunned for a long time before finally realizing what was happening. He spat and stopped massaging her shoulders, not wanting to pay any attention to this lecherous scoundrel who was talking more and more outrageously.

Chen did not continue to persuade him with other reasons, as going too far would make him seem guilty.

In fact, Li Xianglan also felt that it was better to use her own name, as it would be more convenient for promotion.

However, she wasn't the type to judge people based on limited observation. Regarding Yu Xian's behavior, Li Xianglan felt that young people's love was truly sweet and innocent, so she simply rested her chin on her hand, watched the interaction between the two with a smile, and didn't offer any support.

Fortunately, she didn't speak up. If it were a "mocking NPC" now, she might have pointed at Chen Zhe's nose and said disdainfully, "You're a grown man, and you actually need to rely on your girlfriend to become famous!"

Then the sky collapsed.

Given Xuanmei'er's personality, she was determined to use the pen name "Chen Zhe" until she stopped writing. At this moment, Wang Changhua and Wu Yu returned after washing the dishes. Hearing that Yu Xuan was going to stroll around the gallery's base in the afternoon, the two of them clamored to go with her.

Li Xianglan did not refuse, but said that they should go home with her first to change their clothes.

"why?"

Wu Yu was a little confused: "Aunt Lan, is your current casual wear not acceptable?"

"You can wear whatever you want, but I can't."

Li Xianglan smiled slightly: "I am the head of the gallery, and I must dress formally whenever I appear in the office. This is not only a sign of respect for art, but also an interpretation of the gallery's value."

Chen nodded. It was like why saleswomen in luxury stores, even though they were just sales clerks, wore such formal little suits.

Because their solemn attire itself makes them guardians of the rituals of the "high-class space".

This also gave Chen an idea.

A satisfying shopping experience for customers doesn't necessarily require expensive goods; sometimes, a shopping process with deliberate barriers can achieve the same effect.

However, before Li Xianglan and Cosplay Sister left, Chen Zhe pulled Wang Changhua aside and quietly instructed her, "When you're at the gallery, take the time to hint that the pen name [Yu Xian] is better and more suitable."

Aside from being bad at studying, Wang Changhua was incredibly clever in other aspects and immediately understood what Chen was worried about.

"Sure, but you'll have to call me 'Big Brother' then."

“No problem, brother. I will never tell Wu Yu about you checking for urinals in the girls’ restroom when you were in junior high.”

"Chen Zhe, you are my godfather."

"I don't accept men."

……

After the cosplayer left, the secretary came over to ask when she would be going to the Mobile Building.

Chen came to the capital this time to meet with Lu Xiangdong, the mobile operator.

So he didn't lie to Li Xianglan at noon; he just wanted to meet a friend for a chat.

This was also introduced by the "CUHK Gang." The "CUHK Gang" is not an individual, but a group—students who graduated from CUHK and are now widely distributed in various industries such as politics, business, medicine, and art.

Some of them may not be that good.

Some people may not have such a deep affection for CUHK.

However, after so many years of establishment, Sun Yat-sen University, known as the "Little Tsinghua of Guangdong," has tens of thousands of graduates every year. There are always a few outstanding alumni who are both successful and have a deep affection for their alma mater.

Over time, through continuous contact, they gradually formed a group, which is known as the "CUHK Clique".

If a junior student has excellent background, great potential, and good interpersonal skills and needs help, such as making a greeting, introducing someone, exchanging information, etc., everyone is happy to lend a hand.

Strictly speaking, Chen Zhe can now be considered one of them.

However, unlike his seniors who had to work hard for over ten or twenty years after graduation to enter this field, Director Chen is already thriving in it.

Unlike Zheng Weizhong, Lu Xiangdong did not harbor strong hostility towards the reply, so when someone used connections to make the connection, he quickly agreed.

Vice-ministerial level leaders are no longer unfamiliar to Chen Zhe. Leaving aside Principal Luo Jun and the provincial leaders of eastern Guangdong, the current leaders he's vying with are also vice-ministerial level.

How can a company call itself a nationally renowned enterprise if it doesn't have a "vice-ministerial level" official as both a friend and a rival?
So the two got along quite well in Mr. Lu's office, since they now had the same opponent.

Just as Chen was leaving after their conversation, he unexpectedly bumped into Ren Tong, who had returned to his original post.

Ren Tong was also very surprised. He did not expect to meet Chen Zhe here. He felt a momentary panic, as if he had encountered one of our comrades in the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics building.

Chen Zhe was quite composed and a good actor. In front of many people, he tossed his head and walked past arrogantly.

However, on the way back, I received a message from Ren Tong: Why did President Chen come to the company?

Chen Zhe: I'd like to pay my respects to General Manager Lu and thank Director Ren for pointing out this path. It wasn't convenient for me earlier, so I could only put on that show. Please don't take offense.

Ren Tong: We brothers don't stand on ceremony. Should we report this to General Manager Zheng?

Chen: I didn't intend to hide it. How about we report it to Director Ren and see how General Manager Zheng reacts?

Ren Tong: Received.

"Hello! Mr. Zheng!"

Ren Tong returned to his office, and after some deliberation, expressed his loyalty and anxiety in the most urgent words.

Zheng Weizhong was on duty at the command center last night and was catching up on sleep at home when he was suddenly woken up. He was a little grumpy, but thinking that the straightforward Lao Ren must really have something to say, he replied in a deep voice, "What is it?"

"I just saw Chen Zhe come out of President Lu's office!"

Ren Tong said in a panic.

"what?"

Zheng Weizhong was startled at first, but he calmed down very quickly and said after a moment, "I understand."

After saying that, Zheng Weizhong hung up the phone and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

The security door slammed shut, followed by his wife's voice: "Please don't stand on ceremony, find a place to sit, I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes, I'll be right back."
