The car parked in the yard and Qi Jinxin just opened the car door. In addition to the cold air that made her shrink her neck, she was greeted by the aroma of food wafting from the house. She smiled and said to her sister: "Sister, It¡¯s really strange, how did our parents know we would be back today?¡±
The nanny Xiao Zhou who came in to open the courtyard door for them said: "Principal Qi invited Vice Governor Ma over for dinner, and Aunt Gu and I spent the whole afternoon preparing"
"Did you express your feelings wrongly?" Qi Jingyao took the car keys and got out of the car, smiling.
The sun has not completely set, the temperature has already reached below zero, and the yard is freezing cold. The two sisters took things from the car and pushed the door open and entered the house.
Seeing her mother still wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen, Qi Jinxin couldn't help but asked her sister in confusion: "When did Ma Zhenyuan become so close to our family?"
Qi Jingyao certainly knew about the various entanglements surrounding the construction of Nanwan Lake New District during this period, but she was unwilling to explain it in too much detail to Jinxin. She shrugged and said, "How did I know? Our previous relationship was not bad."
The relationship was not bad before, but Ma Zhenyuan moved from the compound and became the deputy governor. Although he was also in charge of education and had contacts, it was rare for him to be invited to his house for dinner. Without further questioning, he took his things and went upstairs to his room to tidy up.
Although they both work in Xiapu, Qi Jinxin does not have a close relationship with her sister. She just went back to Xucheng temporarily today and did not want to have the school driver drive her to see her off due to personal matters, so she thought of taking her sister's car and returned home, but she was unwilling to do so. Talk too much.
As soon as she entered the room and put down her things, she heard a car stop in the alley outside the yard. Qi Jinxin thought that it was Ma Zhenyuan coming in the car. She had no intention of rushing downstairs to say hello, thinking that her sister was downstairs, or maybe she was not interested in Ma Zhenyuan. Zhenyuan was quite eager to arrive, but a moment later she heard her sister's surprised voice: "Why did Secretary Shen and Governor Ma come to my house today?"
Qi Jinxin was still thinking about which "Secretary Shen" would make her sister so surprised. After lingering in the room for a while, she opened the door and went downstairs. She was shocked to see Shen Huai, who had entered the room with Ma Zhenyuan, putting the scarf on his neck. Untie it.
Shen Huai had long been able to collect the emotions in his heart without leaking. He raised his head and saw Jin Xin standing at the top of the stairs looking at her blankly. Even though the fair and clear face and the deep eyes stirred up the deepest waves in his heart, he was only superficially aware of it. He smiled slightly and asked, "Teacher Qi, don't you welcome me to come over and have a meal?"
Qi Guangwei walked out of the secretary's room and said with an enthusiastic smile: "Jingyao and Jinxin have just returned to Xucheng, and they don't even know that Secretary Shen is here for dinner"
"" Qi Jinxin didn't know why Shen Huai and Ma Zhenyuan showed up at her house at the same time. She remembered that after Shen Huai was transferred away from Xiapu, she hadn't seen him for nearly two years. After being a neighbor in Xiapu for two years, she thought he was very friendly. Luo Luo smiled generously and said, "I really didn't expect that Secretary Shen would show up today."
When Qi Jingyao saw Shen Huai's appearance, she knew that her father's appointment as the chairman of the University Town Holdings Company was settled. She felt strange that the total investment in Nanwan Lake University Town in the future would reach 40 to 50 billion, and Shen Huai really wanted to do this. Easily hand over control of the holding company?
Seeing the suspicion in Qi Jingyao's eyes, Shen Huai guessed that she probably didn't understand why he gave in without insisting for a while, and came to have a meal with Ma Zhenyuan with a shy face.
The purpose of forming a holding company to build a university town is mainly to build new campuses for each institution. The main contractor must be the Provincial Construction Engineering Group, and after the new campus is completed, it will also be taken over by each institution. Therefore, the formation of a holding company will lead the four universities in the future. A huge investment of 50 billion was invested in construction, but it mainly played a transitional and organizational role.
The start of construction of the University Town has rapidly weakened the role of the construction of the International Expo Park east of Nanwan Lake in promoting the construction of Nanwan Lake New District.
The initial plan for Ronshine to join forces with Baohe to gain leadership in the construction of Nanwan Lake New Area was for Baohe to inject capital into Ronshine Real Estate. However, Ronshine Real Estate would exchange the surrounding 8,000 acres of construction with Xucheng City on the condition that it undertakes the construction of the International Expo Park for free. Development rights to the land.
Since the University Town, which covers an area of ??more than 40 square kilometers and has a total investment of more than 40 to 50 billion, is about to be launched on the east bank of Nam Van Lake, the International Expo Park is under construction, and its role in promoting the construction of the new area has become limited.
Cui Weiping could not directly instruct the city government to accept the conditions proposed by Rongxin and Baohe. The city government was responsible for the specific negotiation work. After Li Gu took the initiative, he only agreed to allocate 4,000 acres of construction land as Rongxin Compensation conditions for the real estate company to undertake the construction of the International Expo Park.
In addition to directly doubling the actual land acquisition cost of Ronshine Real Estate, more importantly, the Nanwan Lake New District is planned to be built on the west bank of Nanwan Lake in the financial and commercial gathering area, retaining most of the elite construction land. , don¡¯t expect Rongxin and Baohe to swallow it up cheaply this time.
All exchangesEverything has mutual advantages and disadvantages, and the future does not depend on the gains and losses of one city or one place.
Looking at Qi Guangwei's rosy face, Shen Huai knew that he was nearly sixty years old and had no hope of serving as the top leader in Huaigong University. The position of chairman of the University Town Holding Company was extremely tempting to him. He really had not struggled out of the vanity fair in these years. I thought that he would still stand firmly with Hu Xi in the future, and there was no chance for him to fight for it.
Ma Zhenyuan lived nearby and did not notify the driver to pick him up. After dinner, he stayed to play a game of chess with Qi Guangwei and continue to communicate with each other. Shen Huai said goodbye and left first. After leaving the family area, he planned to pass through Huaigong University. On campus, take a taxi on the street outside the south gate.
"Secretary Shen"
The campus of Huaigong University has not changed much in more than ten years. Shen Huai was looking through the street lights to look at the familiar old buildings with black tiles and green walls on the campus when he heard Qi Jingyao calling him from behind.
Shen Huai stood still and saw Qi Jingyao walking from behind wearing high heels and an orange coat. He was probably surprised to see him wandering around the campus leisurely at night, and he was surprised when he raised his hand to say hello.
Shen Huai also didn¡¯t know why Qi Jingyao left the house behind him and came to the campus?
Shen Huai asked in confusion: "Why didn't Secretary Qi drive home instead of wandering around the campus?"
Qi Jingyao is nominally married, but her "husband" has never been seen in public, and Shen Huai doesn't know her either. I only heard that he is an editor of Huaihai Daily; like the Qi family's family dinner today, Qi Jingyao This "husband" is not qualified to participate. Presumably the Qi family does not really recognize this "son-in-law" who is just used to decorate and cover up.
Seeing that Qi Jingyao came out without driving, Shen Huai guessed that Hu Lin might have driven to the south gate to wait for her, and Hu Lin drove to the south gate to pick up Qi Jingyao, probably to avoid meeting him.
"" "Qi Jingyao" heard Shen Huai say this, but she smiled and said, "Secretary Shen, you really think too much. I am not my sister, or I just casually wore my sister's coat when I went out, so Shen Secretary, you have recognized the wrong person."
Shen Huai blushed. Unexpectedly, he didn't recognize Qi Jingyao wearing her sister's clothes back then, and he didn't recognize Jin Xin wearing her sister's clothes today. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "You and your sister are wearing these clothes." The same clothes, I really can¡¯t recognize them"
In fact, if you look closely under the light, Jin Xin¡¯s face and eyes are softer than her sister¡¯s. If Qi Jingyao had just seen him wandering around the campus, she probably wouldn¡¯t be so surprised and innocent
Shen Huai thought this in his heart, and subconsciously glanced at Jin Xin again. Although she was already in her thirties, her deep and bright eyes were still so charming, with an innocent temperament, which made him feel uncomfortable. tight.
Qi Jinxin also noticed that Shen Huai was peeking at her. She looked away with some embarrassment and asked quietly: "Why is Secretary Shen wandering around the school?"
"Oh, isn't it easier to take a taxi through the school and to Nanmen Street?" Shen Huai said with a smile.
"Secretary Shen is quite familiar with Huaigong University."
"It's been more than a year since I was transferred to work in the province; I also worked in Xucheng for a few years before." Shen Huai smiled and asked, "What about you, why did you run to school just after eating? Here we go for a stroll, is it so windy outside?"
Hearing the concern in Shen Huai's words, Qi Jinxin couldn't help but smile playfully and said, "I ran out on such a cold night to carry out your instructions, Secretary Shen."
"" Shen Huai touched his head, wondering what was related to him.
Qi Jinxin did not play riddles with Shen Huai and said, "My college classmate Li Xiaochen wonders if you have heard of Secretary Shen?"
"Oh, I've heard that Li Xiaochen is also a young scholar at Huaiyong University, right?" Shen Huai said.
Li Xiaochen is also a classmate of his, but he has changed his appearance and survived. Except by chance, many former classmates and old friends rarely have the opportunity to contact and communicate with him again. He only knew that after Li Xiaochen married Zhao Zhenjiang, he went abroad to study and had been teaching at his alma mater since returning to China. As for what would happen between her and Zhao Zhenjiang in the future, he didn't know.
In addition to Li Xiaochen and Zhao Zhenjiang, Shen Huai also has several classmates from the same department staying at the school to work.
However, Huaigong University has more than 2,000 faculty and staff. Due to his work, he has many contacts with Huaigong University¡¯s metallurgy, chemistry and other departments. He also unearthed Yang Lin and others from Huaigong University, except Jin Xin who happened to be in charge of the joint venture at that time. Apart from errand work, Shen Huai had no chance of direct contact with other students.
"Li Xiaochen is the youngest female professor at Huai University. President Sun intends to hire her to teach and do research in Donghua University, and asked me to come and do her work. President Sun has always said that we will strengthen the scientific research and teaching strength of Zhuda University."??This is your instruction, Secretary Shen. Secretary Shen, do you think I am following your instructions? "Qi Jinxin smiled.
Shen Huai remembered that Li Xiaochen was younger than him, but two years older than the Jin Xin sisters. Although there were many professors of young and middle-aged scholars of this age in China, for female scientists, they could only serve as full professors at this age. It is indeed quite difficult - the full professors of Huaigong University are still very valuable.
Since he has not been in contact for many years, he does not know how many of his former classmates are still engaged in teaching and research, how many have become key players in enterprises and institutions, or have taken up leadership positions?
Although it was a bit abrupt, but if he did not take this opportunity to bring it up today, Shen Huai thought that he would never have the opportunity to have any contact with his old classmates Li Xiaochen and Zhao Zhenjiang. Thinking of this, Shen Huai smiled and said: "Mr. Qi, what are you doing?" I can't just sit back and watch when I visit the thatched cottage on a cold night. I'll accompany you to visit where Li Xiaochen lives, as a way of showing concern for the development of Zhuda University"
Qi Jinxin has always been close to Li Xiaochen and Zhao Zhenjiang. After dinner, she didn't want to be bored at home, so she wanted to chat with Li Xiaochen. However, she heard that Shen Huai also wanted to visit Li Xiaochen's house with her. Her scalp It was numb, she had never thought of making the visit so formal.
"As soon as Shen Huai opened his mouth, Qi Jinxin couldn't refuse. She took Shen Huai from the east gate of Huai University to the youth apartment community outside the east gate and found Li Xiaochen's home.
"Is it Jinxin? You walked over very quickly!" The people in the house heard a knock on the door, and a crisp voice came from inside. After a while, they heard a "click" sound in the house, and the door opened from the inside. Open it inside.
Li Xiaochen, who is now entering middle age, has a fair face with a few fine lines. He wears glasses with thin metal frames and has short hair. In addition to looking more mature and intellectual, he still looks like the quiet girl he used to be. Shen Huai recognized him at a glance.
Li Xiaochen saw Qi Jinxin standing outside the door and happily wanted to pull her into the house. After a while, she saw clearly that there was another person standing behind Jinxin. She looked at Shen Huai in surprise. She didn't know what Shen Huai was for a while. Although her identity did not prevent her from giving Qi Jinxin a warm and ambiguous glance, she asked:
"Jinxin, you called just now, but you didn't say you were going to bring such a person over for us to see. Who is this?"
Qi Jinxin was familiar with Li Xiaochen, and knew that her words were joking, so she explained with a blushing face: "Shen Huai is the former secretary of the county party committee of Xiapu County. Zhujiang University of Science and Technology also pushed hard to establish it. He today I happened to be a guest at my house, and I heard that Sun Xun wanted to invite you to work in our school, so we went over to visit you."
It¡¯s okay if Qi Jinxin doesn¡¯t explain, but as soon as she explains, Li Xiaochen becomes even more arrogant:
As Shen Huai, the former county party secretary who was transferred from Xiapu, Li Xiaochen doesn¡¯t understand that the future development of Zhujiang University of Science and Technology and the selection of teaching and scientific research personnel in actual work have any direct relationship with him?
She was thinking that Shen Huai was visiting Qi's house today and asked Jin Xin to come to her house after dinner. Isn't the relationship between Jin Xin and him obvious?
"So you are Secretary Shen who Jinxin has always missed," Li Xiaochen looked at Shen Huai warmly, and said to Qi Jinxin with a look of relief, "I thought you were really determined to pay attention in this life. Even though you are married, it turns out that there is still someone who can open your heart?"
Qi Jinxin blushed and became more and more confused. Shen Huai felt a slight sting in his heart when he listened to Li Xiaochen's words
