"Thank you very much for last night. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened."
Thinking of the hallucination caused by poisoning last night, Xu Hongdou felt a chill in his back. Although his memory is now blurry and incomplete, the situation at that time must have been critical. If he accidentally fell from the building, or did something else while hallucinating,
Dangerous things, the consequences are really unimaginable.
Zhou Chen comforted him: "No need to thank you. As long as you are fine, I'm relieved. You must be careful when eating mushrooms in the future. They must be cooked before eating."
Xu Hongdou waved her hands after hearing this: "No, please don't mention mushrooms to me again. It will kill you just this time. I won't dare to eat mushrooms again in the future."
I feel scared just thinking about it, and at least I won’t dare eat fungi again for a long time.
Zhou Chen picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water, but found that the water was already cold.
"I'll go down and get you some hot water."
"No, I'll just drink something cold to feel more comfortable."
"All right."
Zhou Chen poured her a glass of water.
"How do you feel now?"
"I feel much better, but I'm still a little tired and my head is a little dizzy, but everything else is fine."
"That's good, don't go out for the next two days, have a good rest in the courtyard, and wait until you have fully recovered before going out."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xu Hongdou nodded obediently, and then she remembered what happened yesterday.
"Where were you yesterday? Why can't I get through when I call you? I heard from Damai that you went out in the early morning?"
"Well, I have some personal matters at the moment and I need to go to the city. I forgot to charge my phone while I was busy."
Zhou Chen lied a little. He couldn't say that he was going to pay homage to his wife in his previous life, so he could only use white lies to fool him.
"Oh, I thought something happened to you." Xu Hongdou breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Are you concerned about me?"
Xu Hongdou said calmly: "We are friends, isn't it normal for me to care about you?"
"Really? It's just the concern between friends, nothing else?"
"if not?"
Xu Hongdou's face turned slightly red and she quickly changed the subject: "Help me open the window, it's too stuffy in the room."
Zhou Chen went over and opened the window. As soon as he opened the window, he heard the rapid chirping of birds outside.
"Hey, is there a bird in this nest?"
Zhou Chen stretched his head out of the window and was very surprised to find two more birds in the bird's nest.
Xu Hongdou replied: "It was available a few days ago."
"Can you sleep peacefully now?"
"I've gotten used to it these days, but you are used to it too?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "If I want to sleep, the birds can't wake me up. This is the advantage of the countryside. You can see the bird's nest at such a close distance."
In fact, there is no shortage of birds in the green forests of urban communities, but people in big cities are so busy that they don’t have time to go see birds. They spend their time working and playing with their mobile phones.
"I won't disturb you anymore. You have a good rest. When you are well, I will invite you out to do some collecting."
Just as Zhou Chen was about to walk out the door, Xu Hongdou suddenly stopped him and said solemnly: "Zhou Chen, thank you."
Zhou Chen didn't even look back, he just waved his hand towards Xu Hongdou.
"I'm just helping my future girlfriend."
After saying that, he walked downstairs slowly, leaving Xu Hongdou with an angry look on his face.
"You're so passionate, who is your future girlfriend?"
After being away for many days, Mr. Ma, who went home to sell his house to raise funds, also came back. He was frightened when he learned that Xu Hongdou and the other three were poisoned by fungi.
In the evening, everyone in the small courtyard gathered together to eat porridge, steamed buns and vegetarian dishes. Now everyone is familiar with it. If everyone is at home at night, they will basically gather together to eat.
Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaochun were also there, and they were also spreading the news about mushrooms to Zhou Chen and others during the meal, saying that the mushrooms must be cooked before they can be eaten.
After dinner, Mr. Ma pulled Zhou Chen aside and asked in a low voice: "I have raised the money, Mr. Zhou, when will your investment be paid?"
Zhou Chen said: "You should sign a contract first, private investment, the money can be received at any time."
"No problem, it's already been prepared for you."
Master Ma said with a smile, and then took out a contract and placed it in front of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen looked at the contract and chuckled: "Master Ma, you are here well prepared. What about having dinner?"
Ma Qiushan chuckled and said: "Be prepared and the money will arrive early, so I can start taking action early."
"Okay, let me take a look at the contract first."
Zhou Chen picked up the contract and read it carefully from beginning to end. Although we are neighbors and friends, in business, we must have a business-oriented attitude.
After reading it from beginning to end, there were no problems or text traps, so Zhou Chen signed his name and stamped his fingerprints.
"Ten percent of the funds will arrive tomorrow morning."
"Come on, it's more fun to deal with Mr. Zhou, unlike Mr. Xie, who is slow and inefficient. How can you make a lot of money like this?"
Mr. Ma happily put away the contract. Although ten percent was not much, at least he had an additional partner to share the risks equally. If he wanted to expand in the future, Zhou Chen would also be a very good partner.
"Why do I hear someone talking bad about me?"
Xie Zhiyao came over, sat down next to Ma Qiu Shan, and saw Ma Qiu Shan's contract.
"Old Ma, you are really like a goose that plucks your hair. You don't even let Mr. Zhou, your neighbor in the same hospital, be spared."
Ma Qiushan glared at him: "You're just talking nonsense. I even took out the daughter-in-law book my parents gave me. This time I will definitely be able to rise again and create greater glory. Mr. Zhou can just wait and count the money."
Xie Zhiyao smiled noncommittally: "I hope you will do what you say."
Then he looked at Zhou Chen and asked expectantly: "Zhou Chen, you have been thinking about the B&B in our village for a long time, do you have any ideas?
After looking for Zhou Chen that day, he later also looked for many investors, but unfortunately, after so many days, there was no suitable one.
In fact, many people have inquired or even come to see it, but after understanding the situation and bargaining, they finally gave up.
He was disappointed time and again, so he placed his greatest hope on Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen was willing to invest, it would really no longer be a problem.
Zhou Chen said: “Mr.
It’s huge, but it’s not easy to get back the money, it takes a long time.”
"More importantly, I don't have that much time and energy to manage the B&B. So if I take over the B&B, I have to find professional people to manage it. But the problem is that Yunmiao Village is a bit remote after all. I want to find a B&B."
It is not easy to find a qualified manager to take care of a B&B, and I don’t want to spend this time and energy looking for someone.”
"That's it."
Xie Zhiyao looked disappointed. Zhou Chen seemed to be his biggest hope, but Zhou Chen had no such idea. If even Zhou Chen was not willing to take over, it was really unknown when someone would take over the B&B.
If the B&B cannot be built, it will be even more difficult for Yunmiao Village to develop into a tourist attraction in the future.
Just when he was disappointed, Zhou Chen suddenly said: "But if the management problem can be solved, even if the profit is not much, as long as it can make a profit and not lose money, I am actually still willing to make some investment."
Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao was instantly overjoyed.
"Is this true?"
"If I can find someone to help manage the B&B, are you really willing to take over the B&B?"
Zhou Chen raised his hand and said: "Just management is not enough. I said, I don't ask for much profit, but at least I can't lose money. And I have another request. If you can't make a profit within three years, you have to be responsible for selling the B&B."
.”
"Three years?"
Xie Zhiyao looked serious. He had been back to Yunmiao Village for several years. Not to mention making money, he also had a lot of loans.
Although he is full of confidence in the village's planning and future, he is not sure whether the B&B will be profitable within three years.
“Mr.
