Chapter 022: Play the long game to catch the big fish
The banquet for Zhou Wenjing's engagement ended quickly. Under the warm hospitality of the Zhou family, all the relatives from the Zhao family drank a lot of wine. Pan Hu even got drunk. Even Zhang Ying couldn't bear to lose face and drank two or three bottles of beer.
, and was 70% to 80% drunk.
When parting, Pan Hu went to pat Zhou Nan on the shoulder with drunken eyes, but was unaware that Zhou Nan avoided him in disgust.
"Brother, old classmate, old friend, my paging number is 126-#######. When you have free time, go out with your buddies to drink! What, you, a top student and cadre kid, look down on your buddies?..." Pan Hu
He was dragged into the car muttering.
Zhang Ying stood aside. She was drunk in body but not in heart. Her mind was clear and tight. She looked on coldly and accidentally noticed that Zhou Nan's eyes when he glanced at Pan Hu were filled with endless disgust, disdain and disdain, even with a hint of disdain.
There was a hint of hatred. Zhang Ying felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it and just assumed that Zhou Nan looked down on Pan Hu.
Even... Zhang Ying's eyes lit up, and Yingying walked towards Zhou Nan.
"Zhou Nan, we are leaving. I wonder if I will see you again in the future?" Zhang Ying's face was flushed. She stretched out her soft little hand and handed it to Zhou Nan, letting Zhou Nan "knead it" wantonly.
"Playing with it", giggled
, and then took out a small note that had been prepared from his pocket, "Zhou Nan, this is my home phone number, and the phone number of my workplace workshop is also on it. When you are free, come find me to hang out! I am Fourth
I usually have plenty of time when I work shifts."
Zhang Ying added another emphasis in a drunken way, fearing that Zhou Nan wouldn't understand. In fact, Zhou Nan really didn't know what the so-called "four shifts" was about, but that's not important. What's important is that
Zhang Ying's ambiguous hint.
Zhou Nan secretly felt happy, and took out his pen with a smile, and wrote down his home phone number on Zhang Ying's fair little hand. Fortunately, the Zhou family and the Zhao family were saying goodbye to each other politely.
Several people paid attention to them.
Zhang Ying was startled by Zhou Nan's almost wanton little move, but soon she felt secretly proud and happy.
After graduating from a technical school and entering a factory, Zhang Ying was lonely. Pan Hu was chasing her so she took advantage of the situation. But in fact, Zhang Ying didn't like Pan Hu very much. It was just that everyone had boyfriends, so she just
I just followed the crowd and found a free labor force to help my parents change the gas and buy briquettes. In fact, less than half a year after the two got together, Pan Hu really acted as Zhang.
The role of free labor at home.
To be honest, even without Zhou Nan's unexpected appearance, Zhang Ying had no idea of marrying Pan Hu. Otherwise, she would not have been willing to let Pan Hu get too close until now. At most, she would occasionally go out on the street to hold hands.
Give him a little sweet treat. Although Zhang Ying is just a low-level worker, and her appearance is not that outstanding, she really looks down on the men around her who are smelly and sweaty, wear street stalls, smoke cheap cigarettes, and often drink and gamble.
Including Pan Hu.
Even in the previous life, Zhang Ying would not have married Pan Hu in the end if Pan Hu had not followed Zhou Nan to make a fortune.
In fact, I can’t say that Zhang Ying is coquettish, but as a woman who comes from a lower class and is unwilling to live at the bottom, and who wants to escape from the "sea of suffering" and move up, Zhou Nan, who shows some "meaning" to her at this moment, is obviously more attractive than Pan Hu.
Attractive. If not compared with Zhou Nan, Pan Hu can still be said to be reasonable. At least he still obeys Zhang Ying and takes care of him in every possible way. But compared with Zhou Nan, Pan Hu becomes a pile of rubbish. He is not even considered a defective product. He is directly a
It's scrapped.
"Contact me when you have time." Zhou Nan waved his hand and looked at the back of Zhang Ying's figure with plump breasts and butt swaying away. He suddenly found that he had some impulses of primitive desire. He couldn't help but secretly feel ashamed and felt ashamed.
The Zhao family left, and Zhou Wenjing's engagement ceremony ended. The Zhou family courtyard was in a mess inside and outside, and the air was still filled with the nauseating smell of alcohol. But the Zhou family, from the Zhou family's grandparents to Zhou Ningyu and Zhou Ninghui, all seemed very happy. Behind them
It seems that the Zhao family is a reasonable and kind family, and it is good for Zhou Wenjing to marry into such a family.
Zhou Nan didn't drink much wine, at most just a bottle of beer. He was reserved and refused to drink, and the Zhao family couldn't resist but persuaded him to drink. In the eyes of the Zhou family themselves, Zhou Nan was a "good boy" and a "good student".
"It's normal not to drink. If he becomes drunk like Zhao Gang's cousin Pan Hu, Zhou Ningyu and his wife should suspect that their son is a bad learner.
Some helpful relatives and friends were helping to clean up the mess. Zhou Nan stood alone on the dirt road leading from the entrance of the courtyard to the entrance of the village, staring at the path of Zhang Ying and others. In fact, there was no trace of them.
Go long and catch the big fish, take your time and play slowly to have fun. The faces of Zhang Ying and Pan Hu flashed alternately in front of Zhou Nan, with playful and detached expressions rippling between their brows.
After all, Pan Hu and Zhang Ying were just two little people. For the reborn Zhou Nan, he had more important things to do. Therefore, he quickly put the two figures out of his mind and walked back to the courtyard.
, smiled and said loudly, "Auntie, let me help you with some work!"
Wang Yuemei raised her head, glanced at Zhou Nan, and said with a smile, "Nannan, there is nothing you need to do here. Go back to the house and rest. You have been pampered since you were a child and you study all day long. How can you do such menial work?"
Yue Ping's dissatisfied voice came from the kitchen, "His aunt, Nan Nan is so squeamish, let him do more. Come, Nan Nan, help mom wash the dishes!"
***************************************
After finishing Zhou Wenjing's engagement ceremony on Tuesday, Zhou Ningyu's family of three took a day off. After lunch on Wednesday, they took a short break and prepared to return to Haidu. At around 3 p.m., a car driven by Zhao Liang rushed over. As the villagers watched with envy as they bid farewell
, Zhou Ningyu left his hometown in a car with his wife and children and drove towards Haidu.
The whole journey was speechless. Zhou Ningyu was relatively silent, but when he first got on the highway, he suddenly asked, "Xiao Zhao, is there nothing going on in the bureau these two days?"
When answering Zhou Ningyu's words, Zhou Nan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, clearly felt a slight change in Zhao Liang's expression. He hesitated for a moment, but Zhao Liang still laughed softly and said, "Boss Zhou, there's nothing wrong. You're still like that."
Since I haven't been at home these two days, Director Ma of the office gave me a day off, so I went home and rested for two days, hehe."
Zhou Ningyu said "Oh" and said nothing more. Zhou Nan turned his head and observed Zhao Liang's expression. He knew clearly that the current situation of the Haidu City Public Security Bureau was definitely not as peaceful as Zhao Liang said. Li Huimin would be dismissed soon. Time has passed.
Soon, he didn't believe that there would be no news at this time.
As Zhou Nan guessed, the Haidu City Public Security Bureau has actually become "rioted". Rumors that the top leader Li Huimin may be involved in a major corruption case spread secretly at some point, but because Li Huimin is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and concurrently
The Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee is one of the core leaders of the city. Such gossip cannot affect his supreme personal authority in the Public Security Bureau. Many people actually do not believe that something will really happen to Li Huimin.
This is an important reason why Zhao Liang did not dare to mention this matter to Zhou Ningyu. As an ordinary driver, how could he dare to chew the leader's tongue?
It was around six o'clock in the evening when we returned to Haidu. We found a restaurant near the community. The family and the driver Zhao Liang had a meal together. Then they sent Zhao Liang back, and the three of them walked home slowly.
Not long after entering the community, Zhou Ningyu suddenly discovered that his son Zhou Nan, who used to be inconspicuous in the past, had become a "celebrity" without knowing when. He met many city department leaders who usually did not say hello to Zhou Ningyu.
They all began to take the initiative to chat with him, and of course the topic couldn't be separated from Zhou Nan.
In fact, Zhou Nan did not expect that in just a few days, after "widely publicized" by Lin Xia, deputy secretary-general of the Haidu City Government, Xue Yuanyang's wife, word of mouth spread, that he would actually get a diagnosis in the municipal committee and government agencies' courtyard.
The nickname of "Stock God".
As of today, Lin Xia followed Zhou Nan's suggestion to buy 0518 Haiminyuan, which has soared to nearly 9 yuan, more than doubled. And it continues to rise unilaterally, and many people who follow the trend can't buy it. For a few days
At that time, Lin Xia met Zhou Nan by chance and listened to a few words from him. Her funds doubled, and the investment return rate was as high as 110%. The book income of this stock alone was as high as over 200,000... Even for Lin Xia, this was a huge sum of money.
huge sum of money.
Earning more than 200,000 yuan in a few days, in the second half of 1996 when the stock market was crazy, how could Lin Xia, a large stockholder, not be ecstatic. In ecstasy, she talked to everyone, Zhou Nan, the son of Zhou Ningyu's family,
He is definitely an unprecedented genius and so on, that's probably what he means.
The money-making effect has attracted the attention of many cadres in the city, especially their families, on Zhou Nan. Although at this time, Zhou Nan was still in his hometown and did not know about it. Four years ago, Zhou Nan became famous for being admitted to the Guanghua School of Economics and Management of Beijing University.
And four years later, this name, which had gradually faded out of the public eye, once again became an instant hit.
For Zhou Nan, this was both expected and unexpected.
