Two women and two stories, this is Chen Zhu’s New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

Chen Zhu was a little unexpected, and he didn't know if these people would be there during next year's Spring Festival.

It's normal now, we are all still friends, and things like that that lead to disconnection shouldn't happen.

It’s understandable even if you’re not here, after all, flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year.

Anyway, what is certain is that the first day of the new year is the "breaking line" for winter vacation.

The first day of the new year has not passed yet, and the holiday always feels like a long one.

But after the first day of the new year, time is like water between the fingers. There is still a lot of it, but it also leaks out very quickly.

Soon all that's left are wet holiday memories.

CUHK starts on February 25th, which is basically the same date for colleges and universities in Guangzhou, because that day is a Monday.

However, with Chen's status, he is destined to not be able to enjoy the holidays like normal college students.

Work started retroactively on February 9, the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Zeng Kun, Xia Huilan, Song Qing, and Zhang Guangfeng are considered the company's leaders, and they all reported on time.

Yao Lan, Xiang Qing, Lu Fan, Feng Zhuolin, and Huo Qiaoling are the second batch of customer service staff, and they are not absent either.

When we recruit people after the new year, these will become old employees.

As for Fang Qing, Zhuang Mengshi and Ning Lianlian are not from Guangzhou, they are still celebrating the festival in their hometown.

The second sister Mao Xintong is also still in Heyuan, but I heard that she has bought a ticket for the third grade of junior high school to go back to Guangzhou.

Chen Zhu gave everyone 100 yuan in red envelopes, and then received 20 yuan in red envelopes from several married people. All in all, he still lost a lot.

Firecrackers are not allowed inside the Science and Technology Valley Park. Everyone will have a meal outside at noon to celebrate the start of the New Year.

The business process of Zhongda Learning Network has been very stable. It now has more than 4,500 annual members, including about 4,000 in Guangzhou.

Winter vacation is the golden period for students to make up for classes. Under the influence of advertising and the praise of Amway by parents, the conversion rate of annual membership is very high.

The retroactive income is also good. In addition to the huge membership fee of 4500*399, the company has to charge a certain amount of agency fees every time it arranges for a tutor to come to your home.

The employees are very excited because this means another big profit.

Zhang Guangfeng often laments that he never expected that a website could create so much revenue.

Chen Zhu smiled, is this still too much?

After all, Chen Chu has seen the big world and has participated in the construction of projects worth hundreds of millions or even tens of billions, so he doesn't feel that retroactive development is too exaggerated.

Besides, the essence of Taobao is just a website, but how much economic value does it create? How many people does it support?

Including the later Douyin, it was even just a mobile application, but it could make Zhang Yiming the richest man in the country.

In addition to work, Chen Zhu will also make some necessary visits.

For example, Cao Jingjun, the grade dean in high school, Chen Zhu specially bought some gifts after the new year and made an appointment to go to his house.

Now Lao Cao is not of much help to Chen Zhu's career, because even Teacher Qi Zheng cannot keep up with Chen Zhu's development pace.

However, Chen Zhu is not the kind of mediocre person who "uses you to step forward, not the back". On the contrary, when there is no conflict of interests, the more comfortable they get along with each other.

When Chen Zhu went to Lao Cao's house, he happened to meet some stubborn parents who were also giving gifts, hoping to find more ways for their children's future.

Cao Jingjun's attitude towards them was quite cold. This was not a sign of not helping, but a gesture.

And in front of these parents, Lao Cao also praised Chen Zhu unreservedly.

It seems like this is a ready-made example.

Just listen to him.

What you have today is the future for your children!

In addition to Cao Jingjun, Chen Zhu also had a meal with Liang Zhuang, the son of the deputy director of the TV station Liang Haoquan.

This was a meeting we had arranged for years ago.

Senior Brother Liang had good intentions. He saw something called a "super potential stock" in Chen Zhu and asked Liang Zhuang and Chen Zhu to get to know each other so that they could become familiar with each other.

In addition, I also hope that my son, who has been studying abroad for many years but cannot speak a word of English fluently, can seriously learn from the strengths of others.

You know, Chen Zhu is four or five years younger than Liang Zhuang.

However, Liangzhuang suffers from a common problem among young people - a first glance but a low skill, or it can also be called having a high self-esteem.

Anyway, when Chen Zhu was politely looking for a topic, Liang Zhuang took out his mobile phone and was busy sending messages and playing games, as if he didn't want to answer questions.

If this were Liang Haoquan, Chen Zhu would not mind at all with a smile.

But this is my son!

How could Chen Zhu be polite to his son?

He simply didn't bother to coax him and asked the waiter for a bowl of rice. After finishing the meal, he found an excuse to pay the bill and left.

This leaves the stupid son who was half-pretending and left to hang out.

When Liang Zhuang returned home, Liang Haoquan asked how the two chatted.

Liang Zhuang complained angrily, saying that Chen Zhu was an impolite person.

Liang Haoquan has been in contact with Chen Zhu many times, and he knows that this junior brother is ambitious, well-organized and skillful, but does not have the airs to show off. The problem should probably be caused by Liang Zhuang.

Liang Haoquan felt very sorry that there was no spark of friendship between his son and Chen Zhu. He sighed and said, "You will definitely regret it in the future."

"What do I regret? Didn't he just set up a small website?"

Liang Zhuang said disdainfully: "I will graduate in June this year. Get me some resources and start a business when I return to China. I can easily surpass that pretty boy!"

"I found resources for you, but you didn't cherish them!"

Liang Haoquan said unceremoniously: "What else do you want me to do? Your father is just a deputy director of the TV station affiliated with the municipal government's propaganda department, not the mayor of Guangzhou!"

"When did you find it for me?"

Liang Zhuang was stunned for a long time, and finally realized: "Is that the one - Chen Zhu, who is just a freshman?"

"I asked you to read more books on traditional culture, but you just didn't listen! Do you know what [The Hidden Dragon in the Deep] of the Book of Changes is?"

Liang Haoquan shook his head and said: "Chen Zhu hasn't fully gained momentum yet. If you can make friends with him well, you will gain more respect than if you try to get close to him after he has become famous."

"dad."

Liang Zhuang was very confused: "Are you so optimistic about Chen Zhu?"

"The TV station is like a show that comes and goes. Under the spotlight, there are all kinds of colorful people.

Beiliang Haoquan sighed and said, "I've met countless people in Taili, and there won't be any deviation here with Chen Zhu. When he finishes his four years of college, I guess I'll have to make an appointment in advance to see him."

""Ah? Are you kidding me?"

Liang Zhuang thought his father was joking.

Chen Zhu didn't even know that Senior Brother Liang was speaking so highly of himself behind his back.

Of course, this may be to use "other people's children" to motivate Liang Zhuang, hoping that he will be brave enough to make progress after realizing his shame.

Back when work started, Chen Zhu often traveled between his home and the Science and Technology Valley, sometimes going back to his dormitory to take a nap at noon.

During the Chinese New Year, the CUHK campus can be described as “deserted”

Walking on the familiar Yixian Avenue, the surrounding buildings are still the same, and the buildings are still the same. Even the flowers and plants seem to have not changed.

But the former students seemed to disappear out of thin air, and it felt like a science fiction blockbuster had descended on me.

Occasionally, I can meet one or two people at the entrance of the library or canteen.

When they passed each other, they were all curious about each other's identity and the reason for staying in school.

It's a pity that this leisurely life was interrupted by a phone call from Wan Xulin within two days.

He said he had returned to Guangzhou.

Wan Xulin was sent by Chen Zhu to Macau a few years ago to perform an important task - "fraud under orders", and he was also given a fraud fund of 100,000 yuan.

During this period, he didn't call back a single call, and Chen Zhu was so worried that he seemed to have forgotten that such a thing happened.

"Where are you?"

Chen Zhu asked.

"I just arrived at the Provincial Passenger Terminal."

Wan Xulin hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry—"

When Chen Zhu heard "I'm sorry", he knew that things were not going that smoothly.

But this task itself is difficult, and failure is understandable.

Chen Zhu has actually been a leader, and he knows very well that an outstanding leader must have the heart to tolerate the failures of his subordinates.

Chen Zhu has encountered some very low-level leaders. Once a subordinate messes up something, they will scold or even punish them regardless of the consequences.

In fact, sometimes it is really caused by objective reasons.
