"Bingkun, let's eat first and let's chat while we eat."
Zhou Chen looked at Feng Huacheng and could clearly feel that Feng Huacheng was very nervous, so he made a guess in his mind.
"Okay, let's eat first."
It was different from having dinner with Yao Lisong before, when Zhou Chen and Yao Lisong met for the first time. Yao Lisong was a very talkative person and kept a low profile, so the two of them chatted happily and the atmosphere was very good.
But it was different from Feng Huacheng. Feng Huacheng was a noble scholar and his brother-in-law, so he couldn't let go of his airs in front of Zhou Chen.
As a result, the two of them fell into embarrassment without even talking a few words.
Finally, it was Zhou Chen who spoke: "Feng Huacheng, if you come to see me today, what's the matter with you? If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Feng Huacheng looked very embarrassed and said in a grumpy tone: "Bingkun, you also know my situation. I work in the Writers Association, but in fact, it is a casual position with no power at all, so now I can only squeeze in with Zhou Rong.
In the dormitory of Tongzilou."
"No, there will be an election within the Writers' Association soon. If I can offer a reward to the director, I can be assigned a house and my salary can be improved."
"This is a good thing."
"Bingkun, you don't know. If the election of the Writers Association is based on talent, I will definitely be fine. But talent alone is not enough. It also needs connections and support. I have always been a loner in the past.
, I don’t have any connections in the Writers Association, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to choose based on talent alone.”
Zhou Chen understands this truth. Where there are people, there is a world, and the Writers Association is just a small world. Talent is important, but not everything, unless your level reaches the level of being arrogant. But obviously, Feng Huacheng is still far behind.
"Then why did you come to me? I can't help you with this kind of thing."
Feng Huacheng said quickly: "I can help, Bingkun, as long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely be able to help."
"How can I help you? I'm not from the Writers' Association, and I don't know the people in it. There's no way I can help you canvass votes."
"Bingkun, you may not know how high your pen name is in the national cultural circle. Even many people in our Yanjing Writers Association respect you very much. Many people want to meet you.
No, after knowing that you are my brother-in-law, many people want to meet you through me."
Zhou Chen understood now: "Do you want me to establish a good relationship with the people from the Writers' Association and then help you canvass votes?"
"Yes, that's the truth. If you can join our Writers Association, I believe many people will welcome you, and the possibility of me being elected as a director will definitely become very high; as long as I become a director, I will be able to share
When the time comes, we can bring Yueyue to me and Zhou Rong, and you will be much more relaxed."
"Bingkun, I never ask for help. This time I beg you to do me this favor."
Feng Huacheng's tone was pleading and full of expectation. He even analyzed the pros and cons with Zhou Chen, hoping that Zhou Chen could help him.
But after Zhou Chen heard this, his expression became not so good.
It's impossible to join the Writers' Association. Now that he's even planning to resign as deputy chief physician, how can he join the Yanjing Writers' Association again? This will only create trouble for himself.
Although the Writers Association was not as busy as the hospital, he did not think that he would be very free after joining.
More importantly, he is well-educated, but it is not too troublesome to hang out in this circle.
Zhou Chen was unwilling, but he was not prepared to refuse on the spot, he just asked.
"Does Zhou Rong know that you came to see me?"
Feng Huacheng's expression was slightly stiff: "I haven't told Zhou Rong about this yet, mainly because I want to give her a surprise after it's done."
Zhou Chen secretly sneered in his heart. With Zhou Rong's character, surprise is impossible, fright and anger are certain.
"Feng Huacheng, I can't agree to this matter. I think you should go back and discuss it with Zhou Rong."
"Bingkun, I can make the decision on this matter. There is no need to discuss it with Zhou Rong. Let's talk about it later."
"No, I think you should tell Zhou Rong that that's it, I'll leave first."
As soon as Zhou Chen left, Feng Huacheng's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. His brother-in-law's refusal without giving any dignity made him very embarrassed.
He was angry, but he didn't tell Zhou Rong about the incident after he returned home, because he knew Zhou Rong's character. If he told Zhou Rong, he would be the one who would be humiliated in the end.
He is already relatively noble, but Zhou Chen is even more noble and good-looking than him. If she knew that he was asking Zhou Chen for help, Zhou Rong would definitely go crazy.
Yao Lisong returned to Pengcheng and immediately met with Zheng Guangming. Zheng Guangming also followed Zhou Chen's instructions and discussed with Yao Lisong about buying land and building a factory.
Time flies and it’s the end of 1987.
Zhou Chen had a day off, and the family gathered around the table to eat.
"Mom, Juan'er, do you miss home? Do you want to live in Jichun's hometown?"
As soon as he said these words, everyone at the table was stunned. Li Suhua and Zheng Juan even raised their heads and looked at Zhou Chen in surprise.
Li Suhua asked in confirmation: "Kun'er, do you want to return to Jichun?"
"Yeah, I'm just asking you, do you want to go back and live?"
Li Suhua did not answer immediately, but Zheng Juan said: "Bingkun, I will be where you are, but you are a good person, why would you ask this question?"
Zhou Chen said: "There are many reasons. On the one hand, isn't our dad retiring after the year? He also said that he doesn't want to come to Yanjing to live and wants to go back to his hometown of Jichun. We can't let dad go back alone; and the other is, you guys
I’ve also seen how busy I am as a doctor. Many times I can’t even go home, and I can’t even take care of my children. This kind of life is too tiring and boring, so I’m going to quit this job.”
"Ah, how can that be done?"
Li Suhua was the first to object. She said eagerly: "Kun'er, don't be confused. You are doing such a good job now, and you are the deputy director and respected by everyone. How can you resign? No, it can't be because of your father.
Just quit your job, I would rather let your dad live alone in his hometown than see you quit your job for him."
Zheng Juan also advised: "Yes, Bingkun, you are going to be promoted to director soon, how can you just throw it away?"
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "There is not much difference between a director and a deputy director. You cannot be idle when you become a director. If you are worried that I will lose my job and make no money, then don't worry, Juan'er, you
Do you know why I sent Guangming to Xiangjiang?"
Now that things have happened, he feels that if he tells the truth, Li Suhua and Zheng Juan will no longer object.
Zheng Juan asked doubtfully: "You sent Guangming to Xiangjiang, didn't you ask him to study?"
"Studying is only one aspect. On the other hand, I asked him to help me go to Hong Kong to do business."
"How can Guangming do business?"
Zheng Juan was shocked. She knew how her younger brother could be in business if he had never studied much.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "He doesn't know how, but I taught him, and he did very well. He has already opened a big company in Xiangjiang. This company is now on the right track, with a large scale and assets exceeding hundreds of millions.
"
"How many?"
The whole family screamed in disbelief. Even the youngest Congcong, who is twelve years old this year, knows that money is good.
Zhou Chen said word for word: "You heard it right, the company's assets have reached more than 100 million, of which Guangming holds 10%, Juan'er, you hold 50%, and I hold 100%.
Forty."
He didn't say more, only 100 million, but even so, looking at the expressions of his family, you can tell how shocked they were.
"One hundred million? Uncle, are you kidding me?"
Feng Yue shouted in a fuss, which really scared her.
She knew that her uncle was very rich, so the living conditions at home were very good, and she was never short of pocket money every month.
But she always thought that her uncle earned money from being a doctor. He had money, but it was limited.
But now I heard that my uncle actually has a large company with assets of over 100 million. 100 million, how much money does that cost?
At this moment, Feng Yue became a little money addict, thinking of many things that she wanted but dared not buy before, and she couldn't hide the restlessness in her heart.
Zhou Chen glanced at her: "Uncle, I'm fine. Why are you kidding me?"
Li Suhua was shocked. She hadn't realized how much 100 million was, but she knew it must be a lot.
"Kun'er, although you are rich, the job of a doctor is so respectable. It would be a pity to lose it."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Mom, I just quit my job as a doctor, it's not that I won't work anymore. After quitting my job, I plan to take charge of the company. Guangming is still a little too young. The company has developed to the current stage and it is already difficult for him.
Now that we have control, I must personally take charge."
After saying that, he looked at Zheng Juan and saw Zheng Juan lowering her head and mumbling something unknown.
"Juan'er, Juan'er?"
"ah?"
