Reborn: Billionaire in College

"Mr. Chen, long time no see! This must be the chairman's wife, she's so beautiful."

After Zhu Yuanlan had been in office for a long time, not only did her temperament become more graceful, but her appearance also changed even more.

Using high-quality cosmetics, wearing expensive clothes, coupled with a completely transformed temperament and increasing knowledge, is enough to change a person.

You will become like the friends you hang out with.

Now Zhu Yuanlan is surrounded by company executives and high-level people, which naturally makes her different.

The somewhat rustic and shy girl is gone, replaced by a decisive and efficient brand leader.

While saying hello, Zhu Yuanlan took advantage of the dim light of the flashing neon lights to secretly glance at Yan Yan who was standing next to Chen Pingjiang, her eyes full of curiosity.

After just one glance, Zhu Yuanlan couldn't help but admire in her heart: "What a beautiful girl, more beautiful than any girl I've seen before."

In her mind, she compared Yan Yan and Ge Mengshi, but she found that the two women were not comparable and were completely different types.

One is like a fairy, the other is like a mixture of a caring and warm older sister and a domineering female president.

The relationship between Chen Pingjiang and Ge Mengshi is no secret in the small circle of the golden flowers of Zhizhen Catering, but everyone knows it tacitly and never discusses it. They continue to pretend not to know and secretly support this couple crazily.

For example, "Boss Chen came over again today, and CEO Ge was smiling all morning." "CEO Ge has been looking very gloomy lately. I heard that Boss Chen is preparing for his wedding."

That’s about it.

It turned out that Zhu Yuanlan was still curious about what kind of girl could attract Chen Pingjiang's attention and be willing to spend the rest of his life with him.

After seeing Yan Yan, Zhu Yuanlan understood. She wisely placed herself in a neutral role, impartial, not a member of the Ge Party or the Yan Party, she was a die-hard Chen Party.

She knew very well that it was Chen Pingjiang who gave her everything, and without Chen Pingjiang she would be nothing.

Besides, how could a subordinate interfere in such household affairs? She was not like Qin Suqin and Nan Xinzhi! These two had been with Ge Mengshi for many years.

Chen Pingjiang hadn't seen Zhu Yuanlan for a long time, so he smiled and said, "Manager Yuanlan has changed a lot. I won't be able to recognize you in a few years. I just asked you to prepare a place, why did you come here in person?"

Zhu Yuanlan said, "The old people here have been gone for a long time. I'm afraid that I won't be able to entertain the newcomers well. I think I'll do it. I've asked the manager to clear out the largest private room. Let's go upstairs directly."

Chen Pingjiang nodded and glanced at the students queuing for lunch at the door. He had just taken two steps when someone exclaimed, "Isn't that the famous alumnus Chen Pingjiang on the wall of our Student Union Office?"

"It's too dark, it's not very clear. I guess it's not true. How big of a celebrity is Chen Pingjiang? Why would he come to such a small place to eat barbecue? Haha."

"Not necessarily. This is where he made his fortune."

"..."

Chen Pingjiang touched his nose with a wry smile, thinking that he was quite famous in the University of Finance and Economics.

"Uh, Manager Yuanlan, please have someone deliver the food directly to the old address of Renren.com. We won't eat in the store to avoid too many people."

Chen Pingjiang was destined to be unable to be involved in the mundane life of the city. It was not that he did not want to, but that he could not.

As long as he stepped into the door of Xiao Chen BBQ Restaurant, believe it or not, the students would surround him, and even a steady stream of students would come to him.

Chen Pingjiang may not like this kind of atmosphere, and he also feels that he doesn't want to be disturbed on such a good day for a gathering. Besides, Yan Yan, who is pregnant, is there. If something gets out of hand and they are surrounded, it would be bad if Yan Yan gets hurt.

There's no need to make sure everyone knows about your trip.

"Okay, next time you come over, give me half a day's notice and I'll have the store closed."

"Don't bother. I just came over on a whim. No need to disturb everyone."

Chen Pingjiang is not Mr. Xu and never likes to show off.

Look, there’s not even a dance troupe!

After walking for about five minutes, Chen Pingjiang and his team arrived at Renren's original office location.

Xu Rui had already asked for the key and opened the door.

After entering, I thought it would be covered with dust as no one had been there for a long time, but I didn’t expect it to be so well preserved.

There was no dust or cobwebs as imagined, everything was clean and natural, retaining its original appearance without any changes.

"Wife, look, that's my office. It was only seven or eight square meters at the beginning. If it were a little more, you wouldn't be able to turn around." Chen Pingjiang pointed to a room with a smile, and the dead memories slowly revived.

Everything for him started from here.

Renren.com was founded here and its first batch of employees were recruited here.

Yan Yan also smiled, "I've been here before, but I've been to your Entrepreneurship Base 201. Do you remember that Christmas day?"

Chen Pingjiang smiled knowingly, and it was also on that day that Chen Pingjiang and Yan Yan confirmed their relationship to some extent.

Suddenly feeling interested, Chen Pingjiang sat back in his original seat and turned on his old desktop computer.

It took almost three minutes just to start up this broken computer. What surprised Chen Pingjiang was that there were several Word and Excel spreadsheet files on the desktop.

June Payroll

《Sales Team Sponsorship Completion Status》

These documents made Chen Pingjiang feel both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Xu Rui, you are thoughtful. You can protect this place so well." Chen Pingjiang praised sincerely.

Xu Rui waved his hands quickly: "Mr. Chen doesn't deserve it. Mr. Song also deserves credit for this."

The so-called Mr. Song is Song Xinyue, currently the executive director of Renren Group.

"Oh, this place is so well protected, I never expected it. I thought even if it was preserved, no one would take care of it."

"Shu Mang, this is not your table, that's over there, this is mine."

"Hehe, of course I know."

"Li Xi, the commendation certificate is still on your desk. Tsk tsk, you made 40,000 yuan a month in commission at that time. I was so envious of you."

"Wen Yan, do you want to go upstairs and take a look at your doghouse? I lived and ate with you for those two years, and your snoring when you slept almost gave me a nervous breakdown."

Not long after, Wan Yuqian and others who had returned from visiting the entrepreneurship base rushed back. As soon as they entered the house, they were surprised and exclaimed one after another.

People tend to reminisce about the good old days.

For these people, the past was tough, but full of happy memories. The team worked together to move forward.

Although I have achieved success now, I no longer have that feeling.

It’s just like students have the deepest memories of preparing for their senior year exams.

These memories can bring emotional comfort and satisfaction to people. When facing various pressures and challenges, they are like a gentle medicine that can temporarily relieve anxiety and fatigue.

At the same time, this kind of recollection is also an identification and affirmation of one's own identity and experience.

The past of these people has shaped who they are today, and those beautiful memories are indispensable milestones on the road to growth.

By comparing the past and the present, I can see my hard work over the years and feel the growth and progress of my team and myself.

It is meaningful in itself.

Yan Yan smiled as she watched everyone sighing, then turned her back to Cao Jie and said, "This feeling is really good. Let's do this again on Xiaohongshu and bring together the first batch of employees from that year."

Cao Jie nodded seriously: "Okay, this is indeed very helpful for strengthening team cohesion. But no matter what, we can only do it after you give birth, right? I don't dare to do it now."

Zhu Yuanlan acted quickly. In just half an hour, she and a group of waiters brought over a variety of delicious food.

They are all barbecue and Xiao Chen BBQ’s specialties.

Grilled chicken wings, grilled potatoes, grilled gluten, lamb kebabs, beef kebabs, lamb ribs, beef pot, etc.

"Thank you, Yuanlan, you are so thoughtful." Yan Yan thanked Zhu Yuanlan when she saw that she had asked the chef to stir-fry a few vegetarian dishes and prepare a few dishes suitable for pregnant women.

"Boss Yan, it's my duty today. My mission is to serve you well."

"I'll help pour wine for everyone too." Seeing that the girls were all doing it, Yan Yan felt a little embarrassed and hurried over to help.

But unexpectedly, Wan Yuqian held him down and said, "Stop it, Sister Yan, just sit still."

Before long, the men gathered in a group around Chen Pingjiang to chat, while the women gathered in a group to prepare dishes and other things.

Three women make a drama, and these five or six women are even more powerful.

Although Yan Yan and Shu Mang are both gentle and quiet, Wan Yuqian and Cao Jie are able to liven up the atmosphere. They just brought up a few topics and immediately brought everyone closer together.

Although Yan Yan is a quiet person, she is an exception today. These people are Chen Pingjiang's work partners, and they are naturally different from other outsiders. Yan Yan still tries to change herself and get more involved in the topic.

While chatting, people like Shu Mang, Wan Yuqian and others were also secretly looking at Yan Yan.

I knew that Chen Pingjiang was in love when I was in school, and I had also seen Yan Yan's back.

But Chen Pingjiang is a very good hid guy. I have never seen him in person before. Today I finally saw him.

After meeting her once, Shu Mang felt that only a girl like Yan Yan could be worthy of Chen Pingjiang.

One is responsible for external affairs while the other is for internal affairs; one is active while the other is quiet; the two complement each other and their personalities complement each other.

Wan Yuqian was more or less convinced. She knew that she had a lively personality and was at two extremes from Yan Yan.

While Wan Yuqian and others were looking at Yan Yan, the elegant and graceful Yan Yan was also looking at others.

A woman's sixth sense told her that the girls in front of her might have been interested in Chen Pingjiang to some extent. But Yan Yan's personality was just like that, generous and gentle, and she saw it very well.

Your lover is good enough, so it's normal for someone to like him or her. There's no need to be too serious about some things and get jealous.

Otherwise, she would not be worthy of entering the Chen family, a truly wealthy family.

Yan Yan has always understood this principle.

"Come on, come on, let's have a meeting!" After everything was arranged, Wan Yuqian smiled and waved her hand, calling the men outside into the meeting room.

There was a burst of laughter from outside.

"The terrifying memories of being dominated by Senior Wan are coming back again."

"Hey, don't mention it. My performance was not good for two or three months in a row. I was often pulled over for talks by my senior students. I was full of pressure and was always under pressure." Gao Songbin's scalp tingled when he thought about it.

Wan Yuqian sneered: "Who told you to be unable to get into the working state at that time? Li Xi almost dropped out of school to discuss the project, and you not only talked about girlfriends, but also loved playing games. If not you, who would be under pressure?"

After his past was exposed, Gao Songbin, who was thick-skinned, couldn't bear it: "My senior sister! Some words should not be said today to hurt feelings. My sister-in-law is still here, how will people look at me when they come back?"

Yan Yan responded with a pursed smile.

Chen Pingjiang naturally sat in the main seat, and next to him was Yan Yan.

The seating order for other places is random and not so particular.

Looking at the table full of dishes, even though Zhao Shaoyang was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, he still swallowed his saliva, grabbed a grilled chicken wing and stuffed it into his mouth, showing an excited and satisfied expression while eating: "It's still the same taste, it hasn't changed at all. Back then, I counted on Brother Chen to bring some barbecue back to the dormitory after work every day. I miss it so much. Hey? Manager Yuanlan, have you never changed your barbecue chef? It's strange, it hasn't changed at all in all these years."

Zhu Yuanlan explained with a smile: "Of course there have been changes. The former chef of the main store was called Ai Zhiwei. He was transferred to the training center of the central kitchen a long time ago. Now these barbecue chefs are all his disciples. Master Ai has also personally developed many new flavors. Although the people have changed, our training center has a strict barbecue process. There are unified standards for what ingredients need to be baked at what temperature and for how long, and what kind of stove to use. These standards have been slowly developed over the years."

Zhao Shaoyang nodded in understanding: "Amazing, no wonder Xiao Chen BBQ has opened so many branches. After so many years, the business is still booming."

Gao Songbin does takeout and naturally deals with barbecue: "Don't underestimate this barbecue restaurant. There is actually a lot of knowledge involved. It's just that Mr. Chen manages it well. If you change the brand, you will understand that each restaurant has its own flavor and each chef has his own flavor."

Chen Pingjiang suddenly remembered something and smiled at Zhao Shaoyang, "I didn't expect that you would still remember the barbecue I brought back to the dormitory every day after get off work. But don't be too touched, and don't thank me, because those are the leftovers of the guests. It would be a pity to throw them away, so I just brought them back for you to eat."

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Zhao Shaoyang replied with a joking smile: "What are you laughing at? Did you have any to eat back then? The remaining food is not eaten by others, it is all clean food that has not been touched. Wasting food is shameful, you know? Brother, I have also made a contribution to energy conservation and emission reduction."

Everyone in this room had been together back then, so it was possible to revisit many of the old feelings. Adding on the familiarity of the place, it didn’t take long for the atmosphere to pick up, as if we were back in the old days.

Looking at the familiar faces, and seeing them grow from immature and immature to mature and wise, Chen Pingjiang was filled with emotion, "It can be said that this life is worth living again."

As he picked up his glass and stood up, the laughter in the room stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at him, waiting for his next words.

Chen Pingjiang said with a smile: "It has been seven years since October 06. We have passed the seven-year itch. Let us look forward to the next seven years. In short, I, Chen Pingjiang, am very happy and satisfied to know you all. Over the years, it is because of your support that Renren.com, Renrengou and Juzi Technology have come into being."

"After what I said above, you are not allowed to talk about work today. Enjoy your leisure time! In short, everyone eat and drink well."

"Okay! Cheers!"

Some people laughed and said, while others suggested, "Sister-in-law, please say a few words too!"

"That's right, we didn't even get to drink the wedding wine." (End of this chapter)
