Binhai is not a big city, and its history is not very long. Its population and urban size are in the middle and lower reaches of cities of the same level, but its economy is quite developed.
Especially in the last 30 years, many Binhai people have traveled across the sea to seek development in foreign countries. They are quite famous among overseas Chinese. Those Binhai people who have become rich in business have a strong sense of hometown. Many of them have come back to start businesses and companies, and use various ways to repay their hometown. Donations and good deeds are everywhere.
Lu Chen's donation of 50 million yuan to his alma mater was actually following this "tradition". On the other hand, it was also because he bought an island in the Maldives not long ago, which caused some criticism on the Internet. Although it didn't set off any storm, donating money to education undoubtedly helped to consolidate his image.
In a few years, Fang Yun will retire. She is reluctant to leave everything in Binhai and settle down in Beijing. With the title of chairman of the foundation, her retirement life will not be so lonely and boring.
Fang Yun is also very supportive of this.
After attending the centennial ceremony of Binhai Middle School, Lu Chen came to Hangzhou without stopping.
On the evening of the 31st, he will participate in the New Year's Eve concert held by Zhedong Satellite TV at Hangzhou Huanglong Stadium.
Two years ago, Lu Chen bought a house in Hangzhou's Xizi Haoyuan, so now that he is back in Hangzhou, he is not afraid of not having a place to stay. This 470 square meters penthouse mansion is empty most of the time. Before Lu Chen came, he had notified the property management company to have it cleaned.
The house is large and clean, but because no one has lived in it for a long time, it looks deserted, which makes Lu Chen, who is alone, regret that he should not have bought such a big house.
However, he doesn't really regret it. This house is a rare and out-of-print type. In the past two years, the price of houses in Hangzhou has risen sharply. He can easily sell this house for 20 million yuan, and he is sure that someone will be willing to take it over.
After resting on the sofa for a while, Lu Chen took out his mobile phone and called Gao He.
"Old Three, why did you think of calling me?"
Gao He quickly picked up, but there was a hint of ridicule in his voice: "Did you suddenly remember that there is your own company here?"
Lu Chen was speechless. To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to Happy Entertainment. He only gave them a few game ideas and left everything else to Boss Gao.
Pretty much all of Happy Entertainment's daily operations were managed by Lu Xi's side. She sent two people from the finance department to be stationed in Hangzhou, and as the chairman of the company, he only spent a few days here.
From a business point of view, Lu Chen was completely unqualified to be the chairman. It was too easy for him to be taken over by others. Who knew when he would suddenly go bankrupt?
But Lu Chen trusts Gao He. Perhaps this kind of trust is incredible to outsiders, because in the face of money and interests, friendship is difficult to withstand the test.
Lu Chen really doesn't care. Gao He has never failed to live up to his trust. Happy Entertainment is thriving, and several mobile games launched this year have made a lot of money.
"Cut the crap. I've just arrived in Hangzhou, and I'll be freeloading your lunch!"
Gao He smiled and said, "Let me treat you? Then let's go to the back street and eat! "
Lu Chen smacked his lips: "Okay, I'll see you at the old place."
This time, Gao He was shocked: "Are you really going to the back street to eat?"
Lu Chen despised: "What's the problem? I'm going now. You can come with your wife. "
Gao He said, "Xiaoling can't come now … Let's meet and talk."
His voice was a little strange.
Lu Chen didn't think much about it. He hung up the phone and rushed to the back street from home.
The back street was not called the back street. It was a small street behind Jianghai University. It was popular because there were many small restaurants and small hotels. Lu Chen and his roommates often ran to the back street to have a sumptuous meal.
The familiar back street, the familiar scenery, the familiar smell of oil, and the familiar menu …
After graduating for a few years, it seemed that nothing had changed here. Lu Chen, who returned here, couldn't help but recall his carefree college days.
The old place where they agreed to meet was called Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant. The main dish was Sichuan cuisine. Boiled pork slices, pickled fish with pickled cabbage, and beef lung slices, spicy tofu, and so on. The taste was authentic, and the price was cheap and the quality was good.
Lu Chen came early, so he grabbed the seat. If he came in a hurry, there would be no empty table.
The owner of the restaurant was still the middle-aged uncle with a silly smile on his face. The proprietress was still the shrewd and shrewd proprietress, but the waiter was replaced by a refreshing Sichuan girl. She asked Lu Chen what he wanted to order in Mandarin.
The little girl was holding the order list in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on Lu Chen's face. She probably felt that Lu Chen looked ridiculous wearing a pair of big sunglasses. The customers here were mainly students, not like him.
Lu Chen coughed twice and ordered four or five dishes in a row, all of which were the boss's specialties.
In order to protect his throat, he rarely eats too spicy food, but it doesn't matter if he enjoys it occasionally. Otherwise, it would be too boring to worry about this and that.
As soon as he finished ordering, Gao He came.
Although he is the general manager of a well-known game company with a market value of more than one billion yuan in the industry, Gao He, who came to the back street to eat with Lu Chen today, doesn't look much different from before, except that his temperament has matured a lot.
"I deliberately changed my clothes and came here …"
Gao He smiled and said to Lu Chen, "On the way here, I was thinking about whether you will cause trouble when you come here to experience life. I was thinking about whether I should call the police first!"
"Bullshit … What do you mean by experiencing life?"
Lu Chen couldn't help but give him a contemptuous look, but unfortunately, it was blocked by the sunglasses: "This is called reliving, uh, recalling the good times of the past. You won't understand even if I tell you!"
Gao He laughed.
"The old rules, the last one to drink first!"
Lu Chen skillfully picked up a bottle of beer and opened it. He first poured a glass for Gao He: "You didn't drive here by yourself. By the way, what happened to Xiaoling?"
Just now, he heard Gao He's voice on the phone was a little strange, and he wondered if something had happened.
Gao He picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp. He smiled and said, "I'm going to be a father. Xiaoling is at home!"
"What the hell!"
Lu Chen was stunned: "You didn't call me to tell me such a big thing?"
Gao He returned a contemptuous look: "I'm a father, not you. What's there to say to you, unless you are willing to be the godfather of my child!"
Lu Chen was convinced: "You are ruthless!"
"Seriously …"
Gao He picked up the bottle and filled it up for himself and said, "I'm going to be a father soon. When are you going to be a father?"
Everyone is very concerned about this problem!
Lu Chen laughed: "Let's not talk about this first, let's drink!"
