From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 390 Heading to the Capital to Resolve a "Big Matter"

Gao Cheng efficiently resolved his wife's problem, thereby increasing his political capital.

Chen Jun wanted to learn, but unfortunately he had no way to do so.

The main reason is that Liao Qiuxue has the heart of a strong woman, and her style of doing things and personality are more independent. Her well-off family background also allows her to not have to consider external factors.

The fact that Gao Cheng was able to get the marriage certificate so quickly suggests that they had developed feelings for each other after dating for over a year.

Secondly, their different social statuses are attractive enough to the woman.

If it were Chen Jun and Liao Qiuxue who were to say that he needed to increase his political leverage in his bid for brigade commander, he hoped that Liao Qiuxue would get their marriage certificate with him right now.

It's estimated that their relationship is doomed.

Moreover, when Chen Jun and Liao Qiuxue parted ways last time, they only had a slight mutual attraction and felt that the other was a friend they could get along with.

We've been chatting on our phones ever since, and we haven't met in person a second time.

Therefore, the relationship between the two remained unresolved. Even though they had talked for so long and thought the other was great, they hadn't officially confessed their feelings and become boyfriend and girlfriend.

Chen Jun was too busy with too many things to think about this matter.

Liao Qiuxue was also very busy, and she didn't have time to think about this matter.

They both tacitly felt that they were actually enjoying this relationship, which was somewhere between good friends and boyfriend and girlfriend.

In other words.

The two are currently just good friends, so suddenly saying they want to get a marriage certificate together is just too ridiculous.

Therefore, Chen Jun only thought about it in his mind and did not actually intend to eat Liao Qiuxue's "flesh".

but.

Although he couldn't discuss their whirlwind marriage with Liao Qiuxue, mentioning her gave Chen Jun a real reason to seek her out.

While waiting for the order to form a combined arms brigade, there was nothing important going on in the 7th Steel Battalion.

Chen Jun simply took a week off and made a special trip to the capital to see Liao Qiuxue and have a good talk with her about this important matter that needed to be put on the agenda.

Gao Cheng learned that Chen Jun had asked for leave and was leaving, and he also knew that Chen Jun was chatting with a girl.

Instinctively, I thought Chen Jun was "falling for love," and seeing that he had found a wife after going home, I wanted to follow suit and find a wife to "eat fresh meat" (i.e., enjoy the company of young men).

So, on the night before Chen Jun left, he went to Chen Jun's room specifically to "share his experience".

He clearly has no talent for picking up girls, and the wife he found now is all thanks to his "prestige." It's almost the most traditional kind of marriage, arranged by parents and matchmakers.

But Gao Cheng kept bragging without thinking, believing that having a wife made him better at picking up girls than Chen Jun.

He would catch Chen Jun and start bragging, teaching him how to pick up girls and how to get them registered in his household within a few days.

In this regard.

Chen Jun was completely overwhelmed and speechless.

I must solemnly and formally declare that this leave request has absolutely nothing to do with finding a wife, nor is it some nonsense about being genuinely tempted to have sex.

He really had something very important to do and needed to ask for leave to figure out how to get it done.

Gao Cheng, preconceived notions, certainly wouldn't believe it.

She even started saying increasingly bizarre things, wanting to make a pact with Chen Jun right now so they could team up for their wedding.

Or something even more exciting.

After the combined arms brigade passes the inspection and is incorporated into the organization, a grand group wedding will be held on an auspicious day for all eligible officers and soldiers in the brigade.

The joyous and lively scene of the group wedding added to the happiness of the successful completion of the combined arms brigade.

have to say.

Gao Cheng's idea is quite good.

For someone as straightforward as Gao Cheng to come up with such a romantic idea is truly remarkable; he's definitely got a brilliant idea.

Chen Jun quite liked the idea, but marriage wasn't just a matter for him alone.

So I can only think about it in my heart and leave the rest to fate.

……

the next day.

Early in the morning, Chen Jun packed his things, changed into civilian clothes, and took a few simple clothes as luggage, asking the battalion's motorcade to send him directly to the city.

The base is only a little over 100 kilometers from the outermost ring of the capital, which is a good distance for soldiers who are used to extreme driving.

It wasn't even a warm-up.

Xiao Liu, the driver, was a perceptive soldier. He was fortunate enough to be able to take the "soul" of the Seventh Steel Battalion on leave, which allowed him to use the best skills he had ever had.

Not only did he drive the car fast and steadily, but he also worried that Chen Jun would be bored in the car, so he kept finding topics to chat with Chen Jun.

Chen Jun had a very good impression of him.

Considering that I don't have a full-time driver yet, Xiao Liu would be a good choice once the combined arms brigade is established.

The second ring road of the capital is the oldest urban area, the third ring road is the core area of ​​the city, the absolute center of commerce and politics, and the fourth and fifth ring roads are residential areas and emerging business districts.

The Sixth and Seventh Ring Roads haven't been built yet, and even the Fifth Ring Road only opened to traffic this year.

Chen Jun was heading to the HD district of the Fourth Ring Road.

After instructing Xiao Liu to return the empty vehicle to the base, Chen Jun hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Zhongguancun Entrepreneurship Building.

Speaking of the "Zhongguancun Entrepreneurship Building," Chen Jun still has a deep memory of it, and a constant stream of information begins to surface in his mind.

As the birthplace of the Chinese internet, it was the "first-generation incubator" for Chinese internet companies.

Zhongguancun Innovation Building holds profound significance in China. Its opening in 1999 predates the Tencent Building in Shenzhen and the Alibaba Park in Hangzhou, making it the physical origin of technology companies starting businesses after my country's reform and opening up.

The timeline is now at the end of 2000, and there are less than six months left until 2001.

If Chen Jun's memory serves him correctly, many companies have moved into the startup building, and many of them have become very successful.

This includes NetEase, Sina, and other early internet companies in China.

Say something.

These days, with the support of the national policy—the "Decision on Accelerating Scientific and Technological Progress"—the environment for science and technology entrepreneurship is truly comfortable.

As the birthplace of the Chinese internet, the startup building saw companies like NetEase and Sina, among the first to join, pay a mere 1.2 yuan per square meter per day in rent for the first year.

It's equivalent to renting 200 square meters as an office area, which would only cost six or seven thousand yuan a month.

Compared to the nationwide real estate boom that followed, and the subsequent skyrocketing rents in the capital, renting a 200-square-meter office in Zhongguancun would cost at least several hundred thousand yuan per month.

The rent of only a few thousand yuan a month is practically free.

Especially around the year 2000, due to the impact of the bursting of the stock market bubble, more than 50% of the companies in the Zhongguancun Startup Building terminated their leases.

This caused the rent for Zhongguancun Startup Building to drop to a level even cheaper than the initial rent.

Chen Jun took a taxi specifically to the Zhongguancun Entrepreneurship Building because of a major issue he needed to resolve; the person in question was currently working inside the building. That person was the capable businesswoman Liao Qiuxue!
have to say.

Liao Qiuxue is truly courageous and bold, a perfect example of a tough, daring woman.

The stock market bubble is currently having the biggest impact on the emerging e-commerce and internet sectors, with many newly established companies going bankrupt and running away as a result.

Liao Qiuxue also wanted to work in the internet industry, but she entered the field against the odds at this time.

At this very special juncture, she rented a small space of over 100 square meters in the startup building and set up her internet company.

Although she is the only one in the company now, it does not affect her enthusiasm at all.

The main reason Liao Qiuxue came here to open a company at this time was not the wave of tenant terminations in Zhongguancun Entrepreneurship Building, which caused rents to drop to an all-time low.

Instead, they cleverly used reverse thinking and saw an opportunity for rise amidst this difficult tide.

The Zhongguancun Innovation Building is full of internet companies. Now, a large number of companies are terminating their leases, which means that a large number of companies are going bankrupt and a large number of internet talents are losing their jobs.

Liao Qiuxue is now going against the tide by starting a new company; all she has to do is post a job advertisement at the door.

That's like turning the entire building into a talent pool.

As long as the salary isn't too low, most internet professionals would choose to join Liao Qiuxue's new company, given the choice between losing their job and immediately getting a new one.

Liao Qiuxue wasn't worried about not having enough employees; she was only worried about not being able to retain all the best talent in the company.

That's why she's full of energy now!

Chen Jun and Liao Qiuxue maintained contact, exchanging messages almost daily and calling each other every day or two, much like a couple in love.

The only difference is that they didn't confess their feelings and didn't go from being good friends to being boyfriend and girlfriend.

Therefore, the things Liao Qiuxue has done recently, including officially setting up the company just a few days ago, have even saved money on renovations.

Liao Qiuxue rented the space left behind by an internet company after it withdrew.

Once the equipment is purchased and installed, the company can immediately begin operations.

Chen Jun contacted Liao Qiuxue last night, saying he wanted to come over today to discuss business matters with her, but Liao Qiuxue was still busy at the company at the time.

It was already 10 p.m., and the boss was still at the company, not having gone home yet.

No wonder she's a woman with the genes of a strong woman!

On the way over in a taxi, Chen Jun was quite curious about what Liao Qiuxiang's company, which she had only opened a few days ago, had become. Now, four or five days later, it was in such a state.

He was actually quite conflicted, hoping the company would thrive while simultaneously wishing it would flounder.

The important matter that Chen Jun came to discuss with Liao Qiuxue this time was the digital command system, which he had mentioned many times before, essential for expanding the combined arms regiment.

Now it has changed from a combined arms regiment to a combined arms brigade, which is at least twice the size of a combined arms regiment.

The need for a digital command system is even more urgent.

Chen Jun hoped that Liao Qiuxue's company would get off the ground, so that she could immediately take over Chen Jun's order and develop a digital command system in the shortest possible time.

However, Chen Jun did not want to start the business, otherwise Liao Qiuxue would have to give up on opening the company.

At that time, Chen Jun will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to find a way to recruit Liao Qiuxue into the army and make her a soldier like him.

With the addition of Liao Qiuxue, a technical expert, Chen Jun now had a reason to submit a report to his superiors to apply for the position.

A brigade-level laboratory was established in the combined arms brigade, and a group of programmers were transferred from the military to form the laboratory, with Liao Qiuxue serving as the director of the laboratory.

Liao Qiuxue led the entire laboratory in a concerted effort to overcome the challenges of the digital command system.

This way.

This would allow Liao Qiuxue to pursue her passion for software development and become a leading figure in the field, while also allowing Chen Jun to deepen their relationship.

Military marriages where couples live apart and rarely see each other are not the kind of family Chen Jun wants.

Liao Qiuxue and I were in the same brigade, each doing our own work.

That would be the most perfect.

Unfortunately, this was Chen Jun's own idea, and he didn't know if Liao Qiuxue liked this kind of life, so Chen Jun never asked Liao Qiuxue.

Life in the military is not as exciting as outside, and most people cannot stand the monotonous life in the military.

Therefore, Chen Jun hoped that Liao Qiuxue's company would also fail and go bankrupt under the influence of this internet bubble, just like other companies.

That way, Chen Jun would have a chance to persuade her.

But now that he doesn't know the company's situation, Chen Jun can only take the first step: talk to Liao Qiuxue about cooperation and see if she has the ability to develop a military command system.

Ideally, a mature and usable command system should be developed within six months.

If that's not possible, we'll have to find another way.

of course.

Chen Jun himself hopes to achieve this.

As I got out of the taxi and looked up, the 21-story building looked exceptionally magnificent, making people appear as insignificant as ants standing in front of it.

Chen Jun knew where Liao Qiuxue's company was, and with the idea of ​​sneaking over to check it out, he didn't call Liao Qiuxue in advance to inform her.

Instead, I took the elevator directly to the twelfth floor, wandered around for a bit, and found it.

"Huaxing Technology Co., Ltd., that's a pretty good name."

Chen Jun stood outside and did not go in. He chose a corner that was not easily noticed and observed the situation inside through the door, vividly applying the skills of special forces soldiers in the army.

"Wow, that's pretty fast. There seem to be quite a few people inside. Behind the counter by the door should be the reception desk. I can see several people inside, but I don't know if they are newly hired employees or construction workers who have come to renovate."

After observing for a moment, Chen Jun had an answer, feeling both happy and disappointed.

I'm happy that Liao Qiuxue's company is progressing well, and as a good friend, I must feel gratified for him. But if the company really takes off, going to the army will be impossible.

This is truly a pity for Chen Jun.

"Well, putting everything else aside for now, no matter what, we made this special trip, and we absolutely can't let it go to waste. We have to get the digital command system sorted out."

Chen Jun gathered his scattered thoughts and focused his attention on the important matter at hand.

I walked out from around the corner and went straight into the company.

"Hello, may I help you?"

When the pretty receptionist saw Chen Jun come in, she immediately smiled and greeted him loudly.

"Your boss is Liao Qiuxue, right? I'm looking for her," Chen Jun said, getting straight to the point.

"You need an appointment to see our boss. Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist spoke clearly and with a smile, demonstrating excellent professionalism.

“I made an appointment in advance. My name is Chen Jun. Just tell her your name and she will know,” Chen Jun said.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The other beauties picked up the phone and dialed the number. Liao Qiuxue said something, then put down the phone and smiled even more sweetly, saying in a crisp voice, "Mr. Chen, please wait here for a moment. The boss is coming from his office."
