In this life, I will no longer be a childhood sweetheart

Chapter 331 I got it, I started to dislike this beauty, right?
In September, after the autumnal equinox, the white dew arrives, the swan geese come, and the air is filled with a slight coolness at some point.

Su Zelin was sitting in Yang Fen's CEO's office, drinking kung fu tea with Kang Baohong, Yang Fen's younger brother.

The afternoon sun shines on the body through the floor-to-ceiling glass, and there is a feeling of tranquility in the years.

Looking at a report on the table, the Big Three are all in a good mood.

This is a harvest season, and it is the same for the new century.

The number of stores in the new century has exceeded [-]!

This is a milestone achievement!

The most impressive number of stores are in developed provinces or municipalities directly under the Central Government, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Lu, Yanjing, and Eastern Guangdong, etc. After all, these areas have strong consumption power.

Among them, those prefectures and cities with many colleges and universities made important contributions. After all, from the beginning of the new century, the universities started to make a name for themselves, and then gradually expanded their territory to the urban areas.

Although the performance of the urban area has already surpassed the former, the company in the university market will definitely not give up.

After all, this group of young people who are about to enter the society will also be a very important consumer force in the future. If you win their loyalty through service and word of mouth when they are in college, you will gain a lot in the future.

Therefore, instead of underestimating the decline of the university market, the company pays more attention to it, and the activities of the stores in each school are always the most.

The speed of store increase was really beyond Su Zelin's expectations. You must know that when the Spring Festival Gala was held, there were only more than 2000 stores in New Century, but it quadrupled in just half a year, which is a bit scary.

Originally, Hunzi estimated that he would have to wait until next year to achieve the goal of breaking through [-] stores.

Although the company pays great attention to work efficiency and keeps opening direct-sale stores, it is absolutely impossible to complete this task by relying on direct-sale stores alone. Franchise stores have become the biggest contributors to this milestone.

Su Zelin underestimated the power of the Spring Festival Gala, and the exclusive red envelope sponsorship plan he personally designed was an unprecedented success. It improved the reputation of the company far beyond any other brand in the past. It has also won the favor and trust of many investors. Every day Received a large number of applications to join.

Then the "Thousand Counties Plan" was implemented, and after a lot of fueling, the number of stores exceeded five figures.

The rapid increase of stores, compared with the financial statements of the previous year, the performance and profit of the company are not a problem.

After all, before October last year, New Century's territory was only in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Lu regions, but now stores have blossomed in every province, city, and even county town in the country.

"According to the speed of new store development, it is no surprise that we will be able to do the township market next year!"

Brother Xiao Yang said happily.

The first year is the Lin'an university market, the second year is the Lin'an market, the third year is the provincial market, the fourth year is the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Luzhou market, and the fifth year is the national market...

At the beginning of the partnership with Su Zelin, Xiao Yang was still surprised by Su Zelin's super fast pace. He felt that it was too fast, unsteady, and even a little worried. However, gradually he got used to this rhythm. I feel overwhelmed.

Kang Baohong was also very excited.

When he opened the first Caiyuan store, he never dreamed that the new century would have more than [-] stores in five years' time!
This is nothing short of a miracle!
"There are now 18765 towns in our country. If each town has a New Century store, it should be no problem for us to have more than [-] stores!"

Kang Baohong looks forward to the future with excitement.

When this topic was mentioned, the three of them chatted about their initial thoughts on the township market.

Although it's early days, it's always good to plan ahead.

After talking about the business, Kang Baohong said again: "Mr. Yang, Su Zong, if you are free tomorrow night, come to my place for dinner."

"Oh, the decoration is finished, ready to move into the new house?"

Yang Fen asked casually.

The "dormitory" that Kang Baohong said naturally refers to the staff apartment, not the house he bought outside.

The staff apartments have already been handed over, and many of the staff who have obtained the quota and completed the loan procedures have already started to decorate.

"Well, we won't hold a banquet this time, just have a meal with your family and best friends."

This is his second house, and Kang Baohong is not as excited as he was when he dreamed of a house for the first time. Besides, it is not difficult for him to buy a house now.

"Okay, that must be there!"

Su Zelin nodded: "My set is later, but it will be almost the same next month, ha ha."

Hunzi is not in a hurry to renovate the house. Although he still lives in a rented house, there are good friends and little Yanzi over there. The two couples who have known each other since high school usually have an occasional dinner together, which is very comfortable.

Little brother Yang is not in a hurry. Like Kang Baohong, he has bought houses outside. The staff apartment is mainly for the convenience of taking a break at noon after moving into the new headquarters. However, it is still in the Dingsheng Building, which is a bit far from the new headquarters. Well, I won't live there for the time being, it might as well be closer to home.

"Bring your daughter-in-law, let's have fun!"

Kang Baohong urged again.

The seemingly unintentional sentence made Su Zelin's heart move: "Chu Jie will come over then, right? You're done?"

"Well, it's done."

Kang Baohong grinned, a little embarrassed: "Just a few days ago, she agreed to be my girlfriend."

"Hey, congratulations, isn't that double happiness!"

Little brother Yang patted Kang Baohong on the shoulder, happy for him.

"Oh, it's alright."

Kang Baohong was very happy.

Kang Yulian asked him to go on a blind date. In fact, this kid was still a little bit resistant, and his mind was full of thinking about his career. Unexpectedly, he saw the right woman and felt that the woman was really good. After falling in love, he was more motivated to work. Kang Baohong secretly said Fortunately, I listened to Su Zelin's words, otherwise I would have missed a good wife.

During his pursuit of Chu Jie, "Old Jianghu" Su Zelin also came up with a lot of ideas, which made the other party nod to be his girlfriend so quickly.

After getting off work the next day, Su Zelin drove to Building A of the staff apartment building of the new headquarters in Binjiang District with Qin Shiqing.

The owner of this apartment house is either the manager, supervisor or deputy of each department of the company, or an important position such as an engineer. There are three households in each unit. The houses of Yang Fen, Su Zelin and Kang Baohong are located in the same unit on the top floor. is a neighbor.

"Ding dong, ding dong..."

The doorbell rang a few times, and it was Kang Baohong who walked out and opened the door.

"President Su, Qin Shiqing, you are here!"

"Mr. Kang, the new house is happy, the lucky star is shining, everything is going well!"

Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing each handed over a big red envelope, familiarity with each other, and the world's sophistication is indispensable.

"Thank you, I'm very happy to be rewarded with face, so why are you being so polite, please come in!"

Having said that, Kang Baohong still accepted the red envelope, after all, it was a wish and blessing.

Putting on slippers, the two followed him into the living room.

A total of more than 170 square meters of houses, two halls and five rooms, Chinese-style decoration, almost all wooden furniture, huanghuali sofa, red sandalwood coffee table, mahogany dining table and TV cabinet...

Su Zelin still has a lot of research on expensive solid wood furniture. In his previous life, the suite was also decorated in Chinese style, and he brought almost all the most expensive solid wood in the world.

The first apartment Kang Baohong bought was decorated in European style. At that time, this guy was still a bit of an upstart mentality. He felt that the European style was the best in the world, and it was a symbol of local tyrants.

But with the rise of the new century and the improvement of their own status, they come into contact with more and more big bosses, only to find that the European style is not so popular among this group in the 21st century, but the traditional Chinese style is more popular.

For example, when drinking tea in a certain boss’s office, the other party will pretend to say what kind of wood this tea table is, and how many W’s it gets, which sounds very compelling.

Then other bosses also echoed in various ways, talking freely, such as the wooden sofa, dining table, bed or coffee table in their own home also got a lot of W.

At this time, Kang Baohong was very depressed because he couldn't talk to him.

His house is decorated in European style, and it is true that the furniture is not that expensive.

Over time, under the influence, Kang Baohong's taste gradually changed, and he became more obsessed with Chinese style and solid wood furniture, so he just took advantage of the decoration of the staff apartment to satisfy his interest.

But in Su Zelin's view, he can only be regarded as a junior player at best.

At a glance, Hunzi can tell that the material quality of these wooden furniture can only be regarded as mediocre.

That sofa set is more expensive, maybe ten W at the current domestic market price.

Ordinary people may think that a sofa of [-] yuan is already a sky-high price, but it is nothing in the eyes of experienced players in the industry.

Take ebony as an example. For high-quality ebony, the material alone can be sold for more than tens of millions per ton in later generations, while ordinary ones are only tens of thousands per ton.

Therefore, even if the same kind of solid wood furniture, the price is very different.

If your financial resources are a little weaker, you can't even afford high-end products.

Kang Baohong's current financial resources do not allow him to be a high-end player, although he is already a billionaire in terms of shares.

But his worth is only his worth after all. His main savings come from his high salary as a general manager in the past few years and dividends from minority shareholders, especially in the last one or two years.

The accumulation of wealth in the new century is like a snowball. It was relatively small at the beginning, and then it got bigger and bigger. The company's profits and shareholders' dividends also broke through the peak time after time with the development of the market and the increase in the number of stores.

This rapid growth trend will continue until the layout of the town-level market is completed, and the channel network of [-] stores across the country is completely completed, and then it will gradually stabilize.

There may be some growth in the future, but the previous terrorist momentum will definitely not appear.

At that time, Kang Baohong's income can be used as a high-end solid wood furniture player.

"President Su!"

As soon as Su Zelin appeared, an old man sitting on the sofa greeted him.

He is thin and short, slightly hunchbacked, with dark skin, wrinkles engraved on his forehead, gray temples, and silver threads mixed in the sparse beard, his calloused hands are like rough pine bark, and his whole body is full of years The traces of the old man, with a look of vicissitudes, should have suffered a lot when he was young.

Kang Lixiang, Kang Baohong's father.

The two have met.

It was when Kang Baohong bought his first house and moved in.

Rural people attach great importance to the ritual of moving to a new house, and the family members naturally have to participate, so Kang Baohong ran back to pick up his parents.

In fact, the two elders had long wanted to visit their son in Laian, but they had no chance to study when they were young. They lacked education, were illiterate, and didn't even know how to take the train, so they never came.

Not long after their son moved to his new home, they went back again. Although Kang Baohong had been trying to persuade him to stay, the two elders even considered moving here.

However, they all said that they were not used to living in the city, and they didn't know many people. They were busy all day long, and it was better to go to their hometown, so they didn't stay in the end.

Kang Baohong has never dared to find a boss with a good family background or a daughter of the boss to date, because he also considered his family situation, for fear that the woman would dislike him.

The first time he had a blind date with Chu Jie, he had a showdown.

If even your own family can't accept it, it's a waste of time.

Fortunately, although Chu Jie is the daughter of the leader, she didn't mean to dislike her. She also said that her father, who was the top leader of the Food and Drug Administration, was also from a rural background. Because of this, Kang Baohong quickly developed a good impression of this girl, and later he frequently Date her and develop into a girlfriend.

"Boss Su, Baohong has been taken care of by you!"

The woman beside Kang Lixiang was also respectful and authentic.

This is Miao Guilan, Kang Baohong's old mother.

Both elders knew that Su Zelin was actually a nobleman whose son made a fortune, so they respected him very much.

Su Zelin hurriedly said: "Uncle Kang, Auntie, you've spoiled me like this. I'm the same generation as Baohong, just call me Xiao Su!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they all sat down.

There were three other people sitting on the sofa, a man and a woman, two middle-aged men in their 50s, and a young woman in addition.

Needless to say, the woman is Kang Baohong's girlfriend, Chu Jie.

Not very tall, she is a small and exquisite type, with a round face, good facial features, low eyebrows, soft-spoken, and looks like a tigress.

As for the middle-aged man and woman, the man was Chu Jie's father, Chu Junyi, the head of the Lin'an Food and Drug Administration, and Dai Chuangxing's classmate. It was because of this relationship that Kang Baohong had the opportunity to have a blind date with Chu Jie.

The woman is naturally his lover, Chu Jie's mother.

Because they met each other on a blind date, and the woman's father is also his uncle's classmate, although the relationship has not been established for a long time, Kang Baohong still invited the two elders of the Chu family to move to the new house this time, and he took this opportunity to meet the parents and express himself Take this relationship very seriously.

Su Zelin has a very wide network of contacts in Lin'an. He knows a lot of leaders from the government and other departments, but he has never met this leader. After all, this department does not have any intersection with New Century's business.

No matter what, I still exchanged pleasantries with the other party. After all, he is Vice President Dai's classmate, and he is likely to become Kang Baohong's father-in-law and mother-in-law in the future.

Not long after, Brother Xiao Yang and Sister-in-law Yang also came. Brother Yang went to pick up his wife first after get off work, so Su Zelin and the others were a bit late.

The last guests to arrive were Dai Chuangxing and Kang Yulian.

This time, besides his own family, Kang Baohong invited his girlfriend's family, Su Zelin and Brother Xiao Yang, and Vice President Dai and his wife to move to the new house. Ordinary friends and company colleagues are not invited, so it is no different from a family banquet.

As soon as Kang Yulian arrived, her eyes fell on Qin Shiqing who was beside Su Zelin.

If nothing unexpected happens, this girl should be Xiao Su's childhood sweetheart.

She was such a juicy and pretty girl, no wonder I was declined when I introduced him to a blind date.

She and Xiao Su are indeed talented and beautiful, a natural couple!

"Shiqing, this is Dean Dai of the Finance Institute and her lover, Aunt Kang, who is also Kang Baohong's uncle and aunt. I was taken care of a lot when I was studying, and I often go to their house for dinner after graduation."

"This is my girlfriend, Qin Shiqing, who also works in New Century!"

Su Zelin briefly introduced the two sides.

"Dean Dai, Aunt Kang, hello!"

Qin Shiqing greeted politely.

She has a gentle and demure personality, and Wu Nong's soft language is pleasant to hear, and it is easy to win the favor of others.

Vice President Dai nodded slightly at her, while Kang Yulian smiled and said, "Hehe, girl, I heard that you and Xiao Su are still neighbors. We've known each other since we were young, right?"

"Yes, Auntie, Zelin and I are not only neighbors, we are also classmates from elementary school to high school."

Qin Shiqing said with a smile.

"This is fate, you two are so well matched!"

"Thank you auntie!"

Although it was a pity not to be Su Zelin's matchmaker, after meeting Qin Shiqing, Kang Yulian realized that the girls she planned to introduce before were really inferior to them.

Even for some leading daughters with good conditions, their appearance, temperament and conversation are a few blocks away.

After asking a few words casually, and knowing that she is still a top student who graduated from Zhejiang University, Kang Yulian was completely relieved that her matchmaking was not successful.

The vice president's wife has almost treated Su Zelin as a godson these years, so she naturally hopes that he can find a good wife.

Not only is Qin Shiqing outstanding in appearance and temperament, but she also has a good personality. She belongs to the type of virtuous and virtuous. home for dinner.

After a meal, Su Zelin could tell that Chu Jie had a good personality, good temper, patience, hard work, and would help with housework. He was also very kind to the old-fashioned Kang family who were born in the countryside. It's like it's faked.

It seems that Baohong has found a good wife!

Chu Junyi was also very satisfied with Kang Baohong.

He is also from a grassroots background, so his family background is not very important.

Chu Jie's mother needs to be picky, but Kang Baohong is the general manager and shareholder of New Century, which is more than enough to be worthy of her own daughter, so she has no objection to her prospective son-in-law.

As for the two elders of the Kang family, not to mention Chu Jie, even though Kang Baohong has made a fortune, it is different now, but they still feel that it is absolutely admirable for their son to find a daughter of the leader of the provincial capital.

After dinner at Kang Baohong's house and some tea, Su Zelin and Brother Xiao Yang left.

After all, I am just a partner and friend, not his family, and it is difficult for the two parties to talk about family affairs when they are left behind.

On the way back to the rented room, Qin Shiqing happily said: "Xiao Linzi, Aunt Kang said tonight that we are a match made in heaven, a fate destined by heaven!"

"What kind of fate? It's not that someone left Qingbei alone and didn't want to read it, so he just reported to Zhejiang University, and followed brother lingeringly... Ouch."

Before she finished speaking, Qin Shiqing pinched the soft flesh of her waist.

The girl's eyes widened, and she said angrily: "What haunts you? It's a book in which a beautiful woman found out that someone had a crush on me. After graduating from high school, she sold all the books, but only left the Chinese book that I made the cover for him by hand." At that time, I felt that this guy was too pitiful. I liked it but didn't dare to say it. I applied to Zhejiang University for a moment of soft-heartedness!"

"Ah, did you find out?"

Su Zelin was a little embarrassed.

Qin Shiqing really never mentioned this matter.

She should have discovered it when she was tidying up the drawers, because the queen mother often asks Qin Shiqing to help tidy things up.

"Tch, with your thoughtfulness, can you hide from this beauty's piercing eyes?"

Qin Shiqing looked disdainful, and then pretended to be fierce: "Now that I have it, I'm starting to dislike this beauty, right?"

The strength of the hands increased during the speech.

The bastard hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Daughter-in-law, don't pinch, if you pinch again, it will be broken!"

"I want to pinch you so that you dare to despise me and say that I am haunted, hehe!"

"How can I, just kidding, how can I despise such a good daughter-in-law, I won't let go even if I die!"

"That's almost it!"

"..."

The sound of flirting and cursing came from the car, which was the sour smell of love.
