"Brother Zhou Chen, what happened in the past was my fault. I know I was wrong. I apologize to you. Brother Zhou Chen, you must forgive me."
While Zhou Chen, Qi Weimin, and Qiao Yicheng were talking, Qiao Simei suddenly came over, holding a wine glass, and solemnly apologized to Zhou Chen.
Seeing Qiao Simei speak, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became a little subtle. Wen Ju'an and Sun Xiaomo didn't know why, but everyone else looked at Zhou Chen.
Seeing that Zhou Chen was silent for a long time, Qiao Simei's expression became a little unbearable. The reason why she apologized was indeed that she realized that her behavior a few years ago was excessive, but more importantly she wanted to ease the relationship with Zhou Chen.
She has also worked for several years and has recognized the reality clearly. She knows that the reason why the Qiao brothers and sisters are living so well now has something to do with Zhou Chen.
Thinking that if she wanted to live a good life in the future, she would definitely be unable to do without Zhou Chen's help, so she immediately let go of her stubbornness and apologized to Zhou Chen.
Although Zhou Chen did not speak, his eyes were always on Qiao Simei's face, and he could clearly see the changes in Qiao Simei's expression.
With more than a hundred years of experience, how could he not understand Qiao Simei's thoughts?
After more than ten years of contact with him, he already knew very well who Qiao Simei was. Such a selfish person would never think that something was wrong with him.
Even if she apologizes now, she probably doesn't mean it sincerely. She just wants to ease the tense relationship with him.
How could Zhou Chen really believe someone who couldn't even apologize sincerely?
Zhou Chen didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the private room slowly became weird. Qiao Yicheng wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wen Ju'an.
Qiao Sanli's expression changed, and she wanted to persuade her, but in the end she didn't speak.
In the end, Qi Weimin felt that this was not good, so he advised: "Zhou Chen, Simei has already realized her mistake. As an elder brother and brother-in-law, please stop holding on to her and forgive her."
Zhou Chen's eyes swept across his face, then across the faces of others, and finally nodded.
"Okay, I forgive you."
It was a dry sentence, but it made Qiao Yicheng and others sigh in relief, and Qiao Simei even shouted happily.
"Brother Zhou Chen, you are so kind, I love you so much."
Chang Xingyu teased: "Simei, Sanli is still here, don't say such nonsense."
Qiao Simei smiled sheepishly, then returned to her job happily, and happily talked to Wen Ju'an and Qiao Sanli.
Several men were drinking and chatting, but the women in the private room found it boring, so under the leadership of Qiao Simei, the women walked out of the private room.
Without the woman by their side, the men had no worries and started chatting about their own personal matters.
Qiao Erqiang was an honest man and didn't talk much. He just listened to Zhou Chen and the others talking, while Qiao Qiqi stayed silent.
Two years later, Qiao Yicheng's drinking capacity still hasn't improved much. Once he drinks too much, he becomes more talkative, and it's the same now.
He talked about the troubles in his heart, especially when facing his mother-in-law. He said that he was under a lot of pressure, but at the same time he was very grateful to his wife Wen Ju'an for making him feel very happy.
Especially when it came to the issue of his child's surname, he choked up.
It can be seen that although he compromised, he still felt very uncomfortable, but he had no one at home to complain to.
Zhou Chen put his hand on Qiao Yicheng's shoulder and comforted him: "Yicheng, I think you should be more open-minded about this matter. No matter who the child's surname is, it can't change the fact that you are his biological father. If you really mind,
If so, you can still have a second child, as long as the second child has your last name."
Qi Weimin also advised: "Yicheng, I think Zhou Chen is right. Husband and wife are meant to accommodate each other. Think about how your family Wen Ju'an treated you in the beginning. In that case, she was willing
Marry you, so what if you sacrifice a little for her?"
"No matter what I say, I still feel aggrieved."
Of course Qiao Yicheng knew this truth, but he was also a man, so he would still feel uncomfortable if this kind of thing happened to him.
Zhou Chen patted him again. Compared to the current situation, you in the TV series were even worse. Not only did you almost die, but you didn't even have a child in the end.
"Qi Weimin, how are you doing down there? Life must be hard, right?" Qiao Yicheng asked Qi Weimin.
Qi Weimin: "The conditions down here are definitely not comparable to those in the city, but they are not bad. There are just a lot of things and it's very busy."
Zhou Chen said: "Just survive the first few years. Once you have enough qualifications, it will be easy to transfer back when the time comes."
Being a national cadre is not an easy task. You must endure hardships and stand hard work in the early stage. Once you achieve results at the grassroots level, it will be much easier to be promoted upwards.
"Serving the people, this is what we should do."
Qi Weimin's consciousness is quite high. Although the work is hard now, he doesn't complain about anything.
While chatting, we talked about Qiao Erqiang again. Now Qiao Erqiang is still working in Chenxing and has become a small leader of the logistics department. Because he has a relationship with Zhou Chen, his work in Chenxing is still easy.
.
Qi Weimin suddenly sighed in a low voice: "I don't worry about anything else now. The only thing I can't worry about is Qiqi."
As he said that, several people looked at Qiao Qiqi, who was sitting next to him like a bottle of oil.
"Qiqi graduated from junior high school this year but didn't go to high school. I still don't know where to go to school. I want to enroll him in a vocational school, but I'm worried that it will be too chaotic and his temperament is too soft, so he will definitely suffer."
He had watched Qiao Qiqi grow up. In Qiao Qiqi's heart, her elder brother was her closest relative, so she was particularly attached to Qi Weimin, and Qi Weimin couldn't trust him the most.
Qiao Yicheng suggested: "If that doesn't work, let him work directly, or become an apprentice. After all, he is a boy. If he has a job, he can support himself."
Qi Weimin suddenly said angrily: "Qiao Yicheng, Qiqi is your biological brother. He is so young, so you let him go to work?"
Qiao Qiqi is also sixteen years old, which is actually not too young. In this era, it is common for people to work as apprentices at the age of sixteen or seventeen.
It's just that Qi Weimin couldn't bear to let Qiao Qiqi do hard work. He always wanted Qiao Qiqi to have a good diploma so that he could find an easy job in the future.
I have to say that Qi Weimin is definitely the person who cares most about Qiao Qiqi in this matter.
Zhou Chen looked at the quiet Qiao Qiqi, and he also had a good impression of this young man who didn't talk much.
Having watched the TV series, he knew that this young man was actually a kind and loving child. At the end of the plot, he was able to donate a kidney to Qiao Yicheng, who had no deep relationship with him. After the woman ran away, he was able to focus on raising the child and even taking care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Not everyone can do this.
At least compared to the white-eyed wolf-like Qiao Simei, Qiao Qiqi is definitely pitiable.
Thinking of Qiao Qiqi's tragic ending, he felt that he had the responsibility to change Qiao Qiqi's ending so that he would not be as miserable as in the TV series.
"Weimin, if you feel at ease, ask Qiqi to go to the Medical University for me and I can make arrangements for him?"
Zhou Chen's words shocked Qi Weimin and asked hopefully: "Can Qiqi go to the Medical University? He just graduated from junior high school."
Zhou Chen said: "It is definitely impossible to get a diploma from the Medical University, but I am very familiar with the leaders of the Medical University. If I go and intercede, I can let Qiqi study as an auditor. It just so happens that I want to work at the Medical University.
, you can take Qiqi with you as an assistant and let him learn some medicine, so that he can work in a hospital pharmacy even if he is not in a medical university."
Qi Weimin was overjoyed. He was worried that no one would take care of Qiao Qiqi. It would be best if Zhou Chen was willing to help.
The Medical University is a university. Even if you don’t have a diploma, studying there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And with Zhou Chen’s identity, working at the Medical University will definitely have a high status. With Zhou Chen watching, Qiao Qiqi will definitely not
Be wronged.
At the very least, it's much better than going to a vocational school, technical secondary school, or the like.
"If that's possible, thank you very much."
Zhou Chen said: "You go back and discuss with Qiqi. If he is willing, I can take him there after the summer and let him study in my laboratory first."
When he came back, he had already communicated with the school and a special laboratory would be set up for him according to his needs. He would naturally choose the people in the laboratory.
"No problem, I'll make arrangements when I get back."
Qiao Qiqi had a place to go. Qi Weimin was obviously relieved and in a much better mood, and he and Zhou Chen started to exchange glasses for each other.
…………
Although the school has not yet started, Zhou Chen has successfully joined the job. Now he is no longer a student of the Medical University. His identity has changed and he has become a specially appointed teacher.
However, although he has become a teacher, he currently does not teach many classes. He is mainly responsible for some courses in clinical medicine and spends more time busy in the laboratory.
Qiao Qiqi was arranged by Zhou Chen in his laboratory. For convenience, Qiao Qiqi was also allowed to live in his original staff dormitory. As for himself, he lived in his and Qiao Sanli's new house.
Zhou Chen is not in a hurry to go to the hospital for a temporary job. He plans to go to the hospital for treatment in two years.
Time flies, and another year has passed in a flash.
A lot of things happened this year, such as the birth of Qiao Yicheng and Wen Ju'an's daughter, who was named Wen Jin by Wen Xue, and the family was very happy.
Zhou Chen and others all went to see the child and gave them red envelopes, but Qiao Zuwang was so angry that he didn't even go to see the child.
I don't know if God paid off, but Qiao Erqiang actually found his master, and because of his master's affairs, he had a huge conflict with Sun Xiaomo, and his marriage was on the verge of breaking up.
Zhou Chen also heard what Qiao Sanli said about this matter, and he didn't care about it. Qiao Erqiang looked honest, but he was stubborn. Even the Qiao family couldn't persuade him. Zhou Chen didn't think he had any problem.
This ability can convince Qiao Erqiang.
