Age of Legends

Chapter 188 Some or not
On September 9, the opening ceremony of Huang Huifen and Chen Xuran’s “Xuhui Real Estate Company” was launched.

The company has already obtained all the qualifications, it just needs a sense of ceremony. Huang Huifen and Chen Xuran specially calculated the date and today is suitable for laying the foundation, breaking ground and raising the beams. It is a good time to open a real estate company as its main business, so the opening ceremony was scheduled on this day.

Huang Huifen specially wore her most expensive woolen coat today. She bought it with Zhang Chen's father Zhang Zhonghua at the mall after selling Hexianju. It cost more than one thousand yuan and was the most expensive piece of clothing she had ever bought.

But in Rongcheng with the temperature over 19 to 20 degrees in this season, it seems a bit thick and slightly unsuitable for this weather.

Chen Xuran was much more fashionable. She wore a dark brown dress with large pleats that showed off her waistline, black high heels, and crystal-clear jewel earrings. She looked like the top female host in Rongcheng. Anyone standing next to her would feel embarrassed.

But her mother didn't feel that way at all, and even put her arm around Chen Xuran's elbow. How should I put it, when the two of them stood together, her mother didn't look like a country girl, but she still had the air of a worker who had worked in a state-owned enterprise for a long time. It was like she was in a unit performance, wearing stage costumes and performing a chorus, while the other one looked like a complete star. The contrast was sharp.

But the smiles of both of them were very genuine.

Today is Saturday, and Zhang Chen is also here to watch the ceremony. Unexpectedly, there are so many people on the scene. Xuhui Real Estate’s office is located in a commercial building with two connected floors. There is a large platform outside the second floor, which can be used. The first floor is eight meters high and has a very wide opening. Now there are sand tables and PPT display boards of future blueprints on display.

There were many people who came, many of whom were Chen Xuran's contacts, and the flower baskets they sent also represented many well-known large companies. There were also reporters from the Commercial Daily and Metropolitan Daily taking pictures at the scene.

Compared to the huge amount of flower baskets sent by Chen Xuran due to his connections, the flower baskets sent by Huang Huifen and Zhang Zhonghua for their face were much smaller. Zhuang Yanyue's family came, and Zhuang Xuefeng also sent a flower basket on behalf of their company. He also said to Zhang Chen's parents, "I am really moved to see you guys doing real estate. It's not easy. Make a fortune, make a fortune, and make a fortune in the future!"

Zhuang Yanyue was a more eye-catching presence at the scene. She was wearing wide-leg pants, a hooded sweatshirt, and a small shoulder bag. She attracted a lot of attention the moment she appeared.

There were also people present with their children. Some of them were from companies, and some were officials. They came to show their support at the invitation of Chen Xuran. Chen Xuran was a local celebrity, and the establishment of her company was also news. Many people came to join in the fun and to socialize on this occasion. Many of them brought their children with them to make themselves familiar with the crowd. If the adults have jobs, they can also rely on their connections to find opportunities and pave the way.

These children generally look mature, and they also compete with each other in dressing up. But when you see Zhuang Yanyue appearing with her parents, you can immediately understand what it means to wear heavy makeup in a variety of ways, and that natural beauty is the most enduring.

Zhuang Yanyue was so youthful and energetic that she immediately attracted several young men who were doing business at home and were smoking and bragging to each other. The young men in suits or shirts and ties were all silent and looked in her direction from time to time. It was probably because they had just met and were not very familiar with each other, otherwise they would have probably started flirting with each other.

Some girls kept looking at Zhuang Yanyue, looking from head to toe, from top to bottom, to see if she had her Cartier bracelet, and if the bag she was carrying was not a big brand, maybe it was a niche boutique, and her Nike shoes were ordinary. They continued to chat with the people around them about travel and food, but they could clearly feel that the people around them were distracted and not fully engaged in the conversation.

"Yanyue, just play with Zhang Chen." Zhuang Xuefeng took Zhang Zhonghua aside to talk about something and asked him about the company's policy support.

Zhuang Yanyue's mother Liu Jun also said, "See if there is anything you can help with, and follow Zhang Chen."

Huang Huifen hurriedly said, "Hey, what are you doing? Nothing, nothing. There is a VIP lounge on the second floor. You can go and rest first. Zhang Chen will help you! Zhang Chen, take Yanyue to the sofa to rest and eat something!"

Zhang Chen looked at Zhuang Yanyue. He was just doing odd jobs today, but since his mother said so, he had no choice but to lead Zhuang Yanyue into the hall.

Zhuang Yanyue was looking around, looking at the various snacks and cakes placed on a long table. She was quite curious.

Although there are already some high-end buffet restaurants in Rongcheng these days, the way of opening a company and offering some snacks and self-service is still quite avant-garde. This was of course Zhang Chen's suggestion. Huang Huifen originally refused, saying that it was a waste of money and it was unnecessary. It was not a cocktail party on TV, it was just a business opening. As a result, Chen Xuran disagreed. She said that Zhang Chen had a good idea, so she adopted it. The result was of course good. Everyone's eyes were brightened. First of all, it gave people a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere. Moreover, Chen Xuran was in charge of the decoration of the office area. She had a very good vision. Even Zhang Chen thought it was beyond this era. What about the fully transparent spiral staircase guardrail, the wavy second-floor elevated platform, and the blade-like facade? Many designs are very avant-garde, at least ten years ahead of the current office design, and will not be outdated in the future.

In this environment, coupled with these leisure salon areas and self-service light meals and drinks, many people’s first glance is not “Oh, this is a normal company opening!”

Rather, “I really want to work here?” or “It would be very pleasant to have a few people here to drink tea and chat about things!”

After these thoughts started to float, they immediately shifted to - "Chen Xuran has some taste!" "This company seems to have potential!"

It has invisibly broken the stereotype of traditional office spaces and carried out marketing for potential partners and the public who came to the site through environmental psychology and brand aesthetics.

I won't say much. Today, the reporters from the Metropolitan Newspaper who came to take photos could put a whole page just for these photos. The first impression readers get from reading them is definitely "Is this a company, or a cafe? A bar? How can the office area of this company be like this?" "It must be very comfortable to work in it, right?"

No matter what era, people's imagination of a better life has a strong spreadability.

Zhang Chen led Zhuang Yanyue to the long table, took a disposable paper plate and a small white plastic food fork, picked up a small piece of cake cut into thumb-sized squares, picked up a strawberry, and handed it to Zhuang Yanyue.

Zhuang Yanyue's face turned red as she watched him do this the whole time. She took it from Zhang Chen and put it on the table again.

"Don't want to eat?" Zhang Chen was puzzled, thinking, I made it for you myself, so what, are you trying to lose weight?
As a result, I saw Zhuang Yanyue also picked up a paper plate, selected a small piece of tiramisu, and placed it in front of Zhang Chen. Then she picked up the paper plate that Zhang Chen handed to her, cut a small piece of cake with a fork, opened her mouth, put it in her mouth, and tasted it carefully.

Zhang Chencai smiled and said, what is this...reciprocity?
Well, he picked up the paper plate given by Zhuang Yanyue, forked up the cake on it, and said, "This is not as good as the one over at Wenshu Temple. It was my idea to set up this self-service dining area, and my mother agreed at the last minute. We found a small family cake shop nearby, and they rushed the work, so they only delivered it this morning. It's definitely not comparable to what you usually eat..."

"good to eat!"

Before Zhang Chen finished speaking, Zhuang Yanyue's voice came.

Zhang Chen was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at her. Zhuang Yanyue was biting the small white fork gently, looking at him with a smile on her face: "It's delicious!"

A smile spread.

Then she picked up the strawberry again and took a bite of it.

The pearly teeth bite through the flesh, creating a crack in the strawberry, and the freshness of the lips and the strawberry compete with each other. I don’t know whether it is the refreshing and sweet flesh or the bright red color that is more alluring.

Those young men who were staring at the hall and chatting with each other outside the door suddenly became bored, with a trace of melancholy and envy in their hearts.
