Chapter 260 Returning to Shenzhen
Chapter 260 Returning to Shenzhen
Meanwhile, Chen Runping, far away in the army, was also working hard.
With his perseverance and outstanding performance, he has won numerous awards.
On one occasion, when he received a precious medal, he immediately sent a photo of it to Zhao Zhaodi, along with the following sentence in the letter:
"This is also your honor, because you have always inspired me to forge ahead."
Before we knew it, the end of the semester was approaching.
Zhao Zhaodi knew the importance of this final exam, so she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the intense review and preparation.
During the day, she listened attentively in the classroom and took notes; after returning home at night, she would stay up late to review what she had learned that day. After several weeks of hard work, the day of the exam finally arrived.
Just then, the auntie in the gatehouse called her over and handed her a letter from Chen Runping.
Zhao Zhaodi happily accepted the letter, but upon opening it, she found that its contents instantly tugged at her heartstrings.
It turns out that Chen Runping said in his letter that he might be selected to carry out a special mission, and due to the mission's confidentiality and danger, communications might be interrupted for a period of time.
Although she couldn't help feeling a little worried, Zhao Zhaodi knew clearly that this was the mission Chen Runping, as a soldier, was shouldering.
She silently put the letter away, praying in her heart that Chen Runping would successfully complete his mission and return safely.
She firmly believes that no matter how great the difficulties and challenges, Chen Runping will be able to overcome them and continue to move forward bravely with his own glory and unwavering faith.
Time flies, and a semester has passed in the blink of an eye. The long-awaited holiday has finally arrived.
At this moment, the lively scene in the dormitory gradually dissipated, because the students here came from all over the country.
As soon as the bell rang for the last final exam, everyone's heart was set on returning home, and they eagerly packed their bags and set off on their journeys home.
Before long, the entire dormitory became empty, as if it had been abandoned in a corner of time.
Zhao Zhaodi, on the other hand, appeared exceptionally calm and diligent. After her classmates left, she quietly cleaned the dormitory thoroughly and tidied it up in an orderly manner.
After finishing all this, she slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and left this temporary little world with light steps, heading towards home.
Meanwhile, high school students who were studying in other cities gradually returned to Beijing.
They were filled with excitement and joy, and busied themselves with various holiday gatherings.
However, Zhao Zhaodi did not participate in it.
Before summer vacation even started, Zhao Yuan had already arranged a trip. He was going to take Zhao Zhaodi on a special year-end inspection tour of the family business, starting from the bustling city of Shenzhen.
After several hours of flight, the plane landed smoothly at Shenzhen Airport.
Han Yufei, the Shenzhen-based head of the Zhaoshi Group who had been waiting there, quickly stepped forward, warmly took the luggage from Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhaodi, and led them to the car that had come to pick them up.
Along the way, the scenery outside the window kept changing, with skyscrapers standing side by side, and a modern atmosphere was overwhelming.
Upon arriving at the Zhao Group, to everyone's surprise, two brand-new buildings now stand on the land that was acquired through an auction during the summer vacation—a tall and magnificent four-story building and a relatively small and exquisite two-story building. There are also some green paths and trees around it, and a large area of undeveloped land next to it.
Moreover, both buildings have been completed and put into use.
That four-story building is the "Zhao's Kitchen Shenzhen Branch," which just opened last month and is extremely popular, attracting many diners.
In a corner of the bustling city, there stands a relatively short but distinctive building—the office building of the Zhao Group.
Although the building is not tall, the business it houses is diverse and vital.
The second floor houses the office of "Zhaoshi Kitchen Catering Service Co., Ltd.", where a group of passionate and creative staff are dedicated to providing people with delicious and unique dining experiences.
The first floor houses the sales center of "Zhaoshi Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.", with a spacious and bright lobby displaying various exquisite building models and detailed property information.
On this day, the sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze was blowing.
Zhao Yuan personally led Zhao Zhaodi around the streets and alleys of Shenzhen, tirelessly visiting one sales center after another to carefully examine the current market situation.
Along the way, Zhao Zhaodi was surprised to find that the Shenzhen real estate market had undergone tremendous changes in just a few months.
Compared to that summer, Shenzhen now seems to have become a hotbed for real estate development, with real estate companies of all sizes springing up like mushrooms after rain.
Walking through the city's streets and alleys, you can see large promotional posters and advertising slogans for all kinds of brand-new real estate developments everywhere.
These advertisements are brightly colored and eye-catching, attracting attention either with unique design styles or with enticing offers.
On the construction sites, tower cranes and hoists stand tall like a dense forest, busily transporting building materials and equipment. Workers are working enthusiastically, and the whole scene is lively and bustling.
The sales office is always packed with people, overflowing with customers every day.
Homebuyers flocked to inquire about and purchase properties. Some were young couples looking to build a cozy family, others were middle-aged people carefully selecting properties to improve their living conditions, and still others were shrewd investors seizing the opportunity to make their move.
Faced with such strong demand, developers are employing various innovative marketing strategies to attract customers.
For example, some developers regularly hold home purchase lottery events with generous and diverse prizes, ranging from luxury home appliances to free renovations. Such events undoubtedly greatly increase the attractiveness and attention of the properties.
Meanwhile, as the market continues to heat up, housing prices in Shenzhen are showing a steady upward trend.
Astute investors had already recognized the enormous business opportunities involved and flocked to the real estate market without hesitation, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
The injection of large amounts of capital has not only further boosted the booming development of the real estate industry, but has also made the market more active and competitive.
