Age of Legends

Chapter 190 Truth Must Have a Sheath

Zheng Xue was still the same Zheng Xue. She followed them to inspect the garden and expressed many opinions. They only went downstairs when the opening ceremony officially began and the music sounded. In a short while, the hall downstairs was full of people.

They could only stand on the second floor. Wang Shuowei squeezed over and said, "Where have you been? I just looked for you for a long time but couldn't find you."

Zheng Xue said, "I saw you were quite popular just now! Why didn't you call someone if you couldn't find him?"

This guy is Versailles. Wang Shuowei is quite popular when he shows up today. The main reason is that Wang Bowen is also a top figure now. When he shows up with Wang Shuowei, he will be immediately widely respected. Wang Shuowei has been praised by people for "the young man is quite impressive!" "Teacher Wang has a good son!" "Shuowei has grown up so much! Time flies!"

Wang Shuowei was surrounded by praise. Although he was also looking for Zhang Chen, it was probably not his main task.

Coming to Zhang Chen's side, Zhang Chen looked at Wang Shuowei and smiled: "I feel like you are the protagonist."

Wang Shuowei smiled and looked at the people surrounding Wang Bowen below, saying, "When my dad was down and out, none of these people could be found. They all avoided him. But now they are very enthusiastic..."

Zheng Xue looked over in surprise, as if she was seeing Wang Shuowei like this for the first time.

Zhuang Yanyue also glanced at Wang Shuowei. It turned out that this best friend of Zhang Chen was not as carefree as usual.

Wang Shuowei said: "Actually, I just want to feel the atmosphere. It turns out that saying is really good: when you are down and out, you don't see many people. When you are successful, you are surrounded by good people."

Zhang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you can't think like that. People seek benefits and avoid harm. This is the law of survival in society. There is nothing wrong with it. People are not obliged to pay too much for people who are not related to them. Keeping a reasonable distance is the norm. So there is no need to be too concerned about this reality. Just remember those who helped you in times of need and cherish those who are good to you."

Zheng Xue glanced at Zhang Chen and said, "Damn, this person is sober now!"

Wang Shuowei exclaimed, "Huh!", thought for a moment, and nodded, "That's right!"

Zhuang Yanyue glanced at him, then quickly looked away.

Wang Shuowei asked again: "What were you doing just now?
"Look at the garden." Zhang Chen said.

"What's so good about the garden?" Wang Shuowei was suspicious. Seeing that Zhang Chen ignored him, he tried to ask Zheng Xue and Zhuang Yanyue.

"It's okay." Zheng Xue said casually.

Zhuang Yanyue also nodded, and Zhang Chen glanced at her, but she was staring down and not looking at him.

In the lobby on the first floor below, Huang Huifen, wearing a khaki tweed jacket, picked up the microphone. Behind her was a projector playing a commercial film that Wang Bowen had helped make. It was produced by a TV station and was very professional. Combined with the music and Chen Xuran's recorded voice-over, it was shocking at first glance. They were using the production level of "A Bite of Rongcheng" to make their company promotional video.

But the narrator was Huang Huifen.

In addition to the guests, the people present were the people Huang Huifen had gathered together. They had spent half a year at the Real Estate Exchange Center to build a basic team. Although recruitment advertisements were still being run and there was still a shortage of people, basically all departments had begun to take shape.

It’s just that the overall personnel composition is somewhat legendary.

The head of the sales department is called Xiao Yang. He looks reserved but confident, though a little short. He used to be the top order-placer in a famous real estate agency in Rongcheng. But he was probably ostracized by his boss because he was too aggressive. He was fired because he revealed to a client who was buying a villa that the house he liked was a haunted house. The client paid several million yuan for the house, but ended up suing the agency and was asked to pay compensation.

But he was born with a natural affinity and could get along well with others after just a short while, especially with some rich old men and women. When asked how he became the top seller in his previous company, he said that he often went to the People's Park blind date corner for blind dates. It was the elders who set him up, but the girls he met rejected him because of his height. This skill of dealing with people was something he learned in the People's Park, it was outrageous.

Huang Huifen brought him into the company.

The current head of the cost accounting department is called Aunt Chen. She used to be an accountant at the nearby Yimin Vegetable Market. It is said that there had never been any mistakes in the accounting management of the vegetable market. When the vegetable market was demolished, she had nothing to do, so she was pulled over by Huang Huifen. She has an account book, which records in detail the history of price changes in the nearby community over the past 20 years.

Uncle Zhao from the Property Department is a retired police officer from the factory police station. He used to be very familiar with Zhang Chen's family. When he lived in the old house, he often sent Zhang Chen's family some peanuts that he fried himself to go with wine. After he fried a pot, he would bring a basin to Zhang Chen's family and feed them to Zhang Chen as snacks.

Fan Zhengheng from the Engineering Department was a former contractor and set up a construction company. He had a good relationship with Huang Huifen when they were at the Real Estate Exchange Center. Later, Huang Huifen planned to set up her own company, so she moved Fan Zhengheng's entire company over to form the Engineering Department.

Zhang Chen was also drunk. This was Huang Huifen. If she went out and made friends, she could get to know a lot of people. The key was that with such a lot of people, she could actually set up a company.

Oh, by the way, without Chen Xuran, all this would be in vain. After all, it was Chen Xuran who supported his mother and gave her the confidence to do whatever she wanted.

This saved Chen Xuran, but it also led to Zhang Chen's mother setting up a sister company with her. Zhang Chen didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Huang Huifen's voice came from the speakers below, her Mandarin with a mixture of ups and downs and dialects. Compared with Chen Xuran's clear and distinctive voice in the recorded commercials, Zhang Chen wanted to cover his face.

But Huang Huifen was extremely hard-working and excited. She looked as if she had been brainwashed by a health product pyramid scheme in later life and was still promoting it on stage.

It seems like a lifetime ago. Huang Huifen is now standing in front of the newly established company, and she is still as energetic as ever.

Talking about her philosophy.

"Based on our reconstruction of the garden project and the government-supplied land we have obtained, we plan to build a garden-like community. This is my dream!"

Next, Huang Huifen talked about her beautiful imagination of the real estate industry. She wanted to create her own utopia.

"The quality of our construction must be first-rate! We will not allow cutting corners. We welcome the media and the owners to inspect it in person. If it does not match what was promised in the contract, we will pay ten times the compensation!"

"I used to pass by those real estate projects and was so excited. When I asked about the price, my god, I couldn't afford it even if I sold myself! At that time, I thought, is there no one who wants to build good houses that ordinary people can afford? No! No one, I tell you... Now I will do it!" Zhang Chen now thinks Huang Huifen is very talented, very talented in talk show. This rhythm, this dialect mixed with the ups and downs of Mandarin, plus the occasional ridicule and actions, she is a talk show queen! And the more she speaks, the more free and easy she is. Now Zhang Chen understands that his mother is an E person, commonly known as a crowd-pleaser. The more people there are, the more free and easy she is.

Zhang Zhonghua was forced to become autistic.

"Our house must have a big balcony. I've always wanted ventilation. A big balcony can be opened to hang out big quilts. Why can't we have one? The house we built by Xuhui must have one!"

"We also want to create community butlers and building butlers to make guests feel at home..."

"We will also set up community colleges so that the elderly can continue to study, children can be taken care of, and young people can continue to learn skills..."

The scene was already very lively, with media flashes clicking and people's discussions becoming increasingly noisy.

Wang Shuowei turned his head to look at Zhang Chen, a little surprised, "Your mother is so talkative!"

Zhang Chen glanced at him and said, "Didn't you see it when she beat me and chased me across several blocks?"

Zheng Xue and Zhuang Yanyue both wanted to laugh.

Only Zhang Chen noticed that every time she said this, the people from various departments who followed Huang Huifen had different expressions. Ordinary people like Aunt Chen all looked excited and yearning, wanting to work with Huang Huifen.

As for the people in the engineering department, every time Huang Huifen made a promise, they had a stern face and couldn't smile.

Many visitors present looked at Huang Huifen in surprise, while some people in the industry were puzzled. They thought that there are companies that do not rush to start construction of projects, but build buildings as quickly as possible, obtain pre-sale licenses, and then engage in crazy marketing to make money, and then immediately use the money to buy land, mortgage it, and expand rapidly.

On the contrary, this company is involved in community construction, park-style apartments, universities, and housekeepers... Is this... stupid?

Are you a careerist? You are doing charity!

The media doesn’t care, just keep filming. There is enough material and topicality today.

The title is - "A new leader emerges in the property market, Xuhui Real Estate's 'ambition'!"

This can be used in the real estate pages of newspapers and magazines.

The subtitle could also be - "Who will hold the spear in the race of thousands of sails? Xu Hui will dominate at dawn!"

When Huang Huifen finished her speech, there was applause, no matter whether it was sincere or not.

Zhang Chen's heart sank. What was my mother trying to do? In this era of rapid real estate expansion, you're being abstract?
We haven't reached that stage yet. Twenty years from now, when her concepts are put into practice, people will have an urgent need for upgrading their housing. As the times change and concepts progress, the fourth generation of housing may have a market.

Now... this is fucking abstract!
In recent years, who among the wealthy real estate developers does this? It is all a routine capital operation.

Zhang Chen was a little speechless. Of course, he didn't ask Huang Huifen to become rich and powerful, but he always felt anxious because she had a great opportunity but didn't seize it.

And it was impossible to persuade her.

Zhang Chen could only wait until the opening ceremony was almost over before finding Chen Xuran.

"Godmother..."

Chen Xuran blushed, "Hey kid, I'm not your godmother..."

"Okay, okay, godmother, why don't you talk about my mom? Is she making money? If what she promised today is true, can your company make money?"

"Can make money..." Chen Xuran said.

"Bar?"

You are Shen Gongbao!
Zhang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You guys haven't calculated it yet? The cost must be fixed! Don't let it go unnoticed! Who can you go to for justice?"

"No, no, I've calculated it, I should be able to make some money..."

"You guys made such a big fuss, and you 'should make a little money'?" Zhang Chen couldn't understand, but he knew that these two people were not shrewd businessmen.

"Then why don't you try to persuade my mother? Didn't I give you advice on how to do it most safely at this stage?"

"Oh, I did say that, but your mother thinks that since we are going to build a house, we should build a good house. She went to the real estate exchange center and collected opinions from many people. This is the ideal house for people. What she said is the truth!"

"Truth must also be combined with reality. Otherwise, what is the use of truth alone? You will not be able to make any progress."

Chen Xuran smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. Just have some faith in your mother! You are right. Truth alone is useless. No matter how good the truth is, it needs a sheath to preserve it."

She blinked her left eye at Zhang Chen again, "I'm the hot one!"
