Xu Banxia, who didn't want to say much to Zhou Chen, suddenly changed his face when he heard these words.
"What did you say? Xiao Chen is sick. What does that mean?"
"Can you sit down and talk slowly now?"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly, what happened to Xiao Chen?"
Seeing that Xu Banxia, who had been retreating just now, had already grabbed his hand excitedly, Zhou Chen stopped hanging her.
"You already know that I asked Chen Yuyu to meet today, and you also know that I understand Chinese medicine. When I met Chen Yuyu, I could tell from his face that something was not right. Later, during the chat, he
He coughed several times in a row. According to my observations, he should have a lung disease, and he himself has a blood disease. If not treated in time, it may lead to more serious symptoms."
Because of his appearance and intervention, Chen Yuyu avoided a lot of harm, the polluted seawater did not invade his body, and the environment of the stockyard was much better than in the original plot.
However, because Chen Yuyu's body is weaker than ordinary people, he has been helping Xu Banxia for the past two years, which is a bit overloaded. Although he did not evolve to the advanced stage of lung cancer as quickly as in the plot, his weak physical fitness still allowed him to contract the disease.
There are some diseases, and lung diseases are only more obvious.
"how so?"
Xu Banxia looked panicked. She and Chen Yuyu had grown up together since childhood, and their relationship was closer than that of real brothers and sisters.
"You're not going to lie to me, are you?"
"I told you I wouldn't lie to you."
Xu Banxia felt her body become weak, Zhou Chen supported her, and she also held Zhou Chen's arm.
"Xiao Chen, is he seriously ill?"
"His health is not very good to begin with, but he still has to go to the hospital for a checkup before he can be sure. So you'd better take him to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow so that the problem can be detected and treated early. Nowadays, with the advanced medical technology, as long as it is not a terminal illness,
There is hope for a cure.”
Xu Banxia walked to the sofa and sat down, holding his head in his hands, with his fingers inserted into his hair, with a painful expression on his face.
"I clearly knew that Xiao Chen was in poor health, yet I still made him work so hard. How could I do this..."
Zhou Chen walked to sit next to her, gently put her in his arms, hugged her, and comforted her softly: "Some things are not what you want, but fortunately you discovered them early. I think Xiao Chen is doing well."
With treatment, there will definitely be no problem. Trust me, I won’t lie to you.”
The softness in Xu Banxia's heart was touched, and she no longer refused Zhou Chen's hug. Instead, she hugged Zhou Chen, as if Zhou Chen's arms were her warm harbor.
Maybe Xu Banxia was too sad or too tired, but as strong as she was, she actually cried herself to sleep in Zhou Chen's arms. In the end, she didn't even know how she ended up on the bed. She just woke up the next morning,
Only then did she see the note left by Zhou Chen. After reading it, she crumpled it into a ball very angrily and threw it into the trash can.
She came to the company as quickly as possible and then went straight to the finance department. Chen Yuyu was now in charge of the company's finances. He was also staffed by two college student accountants. In the past, when the company was still small, he could still do the financial calculations.
But now that the company is so big, counting millions and tens of millions, he really can't play anymore.
Tong Xiaoqi, who had nothing to do, happened to be there. The team that Tong Xiao was riding in didn't have helpers like in the original plot. Now, relying on him alone, his Overlord Flower Team could only make a little money in the yard to support the family.
Problem, but you can't make a fortune.
But he doesn't care about this. He runs a team mainly to have something to do, and to gather his good brothers together so that they can make money and avoid going astray again.
Usually when he has nothing to do, he would come to Banxia Steel Company to hang out with Chen Yuyu, and he happened to be there today.
"Boss."
Tong Xiaoqi saw Xu Banxia and stood up immediately. Chen Yuyu heard the sound and looked over.
Xu Banxia didn't say any nonsense and directly ordered Tong Xiaoqi: "Tong Xiaoqi, grab Xiao Chen and go to the People's Hospital with me."
"Ah? Why are you going to the hospital?"
Chen Yuyu still looked confused, but Tong Xiaoqi was already very obedient and pulled Chen Yuyu up.
"Tong Xiaoqi, what are you doing? Don't pick on me. I still have a job."
"Work is such a waste. I didn't listen to what the boss said. Do you want to go to the hospital together? Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
While they were talking, Xu Banxia had already walked out the door and headed straight outside. Tong Xiaoqi pulled Chen Yuyu, who looked reluctant, downstairs and chased after him.
"No, Fatty, what are you doing? I still have a job, and I have to continue to review the matter of the provincial steel industry."
Xu Banxia opened the car door directly: "Get in the car and take you to the hospital for a physical check-up."
Chen Yuyu was even more confused: "Check your body? Why do you need to check your body properly? Don't you know exactly what my condition is? Blood diseases cannot be cured."
Xu Banxia didn't know how to explain it to her, but she believed Zhou Chen's words.
"What nonsense? Tong Xiaoqi got him into the car and looked at him."
Tong Xiaoqi chuckled and said, "Xiao Chen, do you want to get in the car obediently, or do you want me to invite you to get in the car?"
"No, what do you two want to do?"
Despite his unwilling resistance, he was successfully dragged to the hospital. Xu Banxia went directly to his old friend Su Guodong and asked him to arrange a full physical examination for Chen Yuyu, especially the lungs.
As a result, Chen Yuyu could only cry and carry out examinations all day long.
The examination was not completed until the afternoon, and then Chen Yuyu was arranged to be hospitalized.
Xu Banxia already knew Chen Yuyu's physical condition from Su Guodong. There were many abnormal blood indexes, severe inflammation in the lungs, and respiratory problems...
In Su Guodong's words, although these diseases are not life-threatening for the time being, if they are not treated in time and continue to be delayed, they will become very serious in a short time.
As soon as Xu Banxia heard this, he sent Chen Yuzhou to the hospital for treatment without saying a word. Even though Chen Yuzhou fiercely resisted and objected, Xu Banxia was still easily suppressed in the end, and even gave Tong Xiaoqi a death order, telling him to keep an eye on Chen Yuzhou.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the bidding of the Second Provincial Steel.
There are several parties participating in the bidding this time. Wu Jianzheng, Qiu Bizheng and others are on one side, Xu Banxia's Banxia Steel Company is on one side, and the others are all well-known steel industry companies in the province and can bid.
The company's strength will naturally not be weak.
At the bidding meeting, after Xu Banxia and Wu Jianshe met, although there was no cynicism, the eyes they looked at each other were not friendly. After a confrontation, they each sat down in their seats.
After Gao Yuejin gave an inspiring speech, the bidding for Provincial No. 2 Steel officially began, with a base price of 30 million and an additional price of 500,000 for each sign raised.
To be honest, this price is not low in this era. Even if Provincial No. 2 Steel is a large steel plant, the problem is that because it is a state-owned enterprise transfer, there are many restrictions.
However, companies that can participate in the bidding naturally know the situation and are well prepared.
As soon as the hammer hit, someone immediately raised the price. After increasing the price, the price soon exceeded 40 million, which was the price quoted by Wu Construction who had never said anything.
As Wu Jianshe raised the price, Xu Banxia followed suit, but she was so fierce that she directly increased the price to 45 million, which shocked the whole audience.
When Wu Jianshe saw Xu Banxia's menacing approach, his eyes changed. He added one million without hesitation, and then raised the price twice. With his eyes red, he directly called for fifty million.
This price is already quite high. If other people compete with him like this, Wu Jianshe may consider giving up. But the person who increased the price is Xu Banxia, a former little girl. He, who has always been called the boss and loves face, cannot come to Taiwan at all.
, and don’t want to step down.
But after calling 50 million, he stared at Xu Banxia with red eyes. If Xu Banxia continued to increase the amount, he didn't know if he would have the courage to continue.
Xu Banxia slowly raised her hand, but at this moment, Zhou Chen's face appeared in her mind involuntarily.
"If the bidding price of the Second Provincial Steel is too high, the gain will outweigh the loss. Large state-owned enterprises also have many restrictions and cannot fully control it. It is better to open a new steel plant. Even if the investment is larger and the cycle is longer, it will be our own steel plant.
You can make the decision by yourself..."
Thinking that Zhou Chen had helped her several times and that she had succeeded time and time again, she slowly put down the price increase sign in her hand.
Finally, she closed her eyes, opened them again, took a long breath, leaned back on the chair, and threw the price increase sign on the table.
"Fifty million for the third time!"
As the hammer fell, cheers suddenly erupted from the scene, and Wu Jianshe stood up to receive all the cheers and blessings.
Xu Banxia sat for a short while, looking at the excited and cheering Wu Jian and the others, and she suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly.
Thinking that she had always resisted Zhou Chen's approach, but at the most critical moment, she could not help but believe in Zhou Chen. The only person she thought of for the bidding just now was Zhou Chen.
Shaking her head in disappointment, she slowly stood up, picked up her clothes and bag, and slowly left the venue amidst cheers.
After the bidding started, Gao Yuejin has been paying attention to Xu Banxia. In fact, she is more optimistic about Xu Banxia than Wu Jianshe and others, because Xu Banxia is younger and more courageous. Compared with Wu Jianshe and the others, she has more
potential.
She wanted Xu Banxia to win the No. 2 Steel, because she felt that in the hands of Xu Banxia, the No. 2 Steel might be able to come back to life and create greater glory.
But unfortunately, this is just her expectation. After all, expectation and reality are different.
After leaving the venue, Xu Banxia came to the car. She took out her mobile phone and dialed a number.
"You should already know the result."
Zhou Chen's familiar voice came from the phone: "I know, I know you will make the right choice."
Xu Banxia hummed: "I don't know if this is the right choice, it's just my choice after weighing the pros and cons. The new steel plant you mentioned last time has the way of building a large steel plant in the United States. I need it."
"Haha, I thought you would refuse my kindness."
"Don't talk nonsense, I will die if you don't say anything."
"I have prepared the information. I will go to your house and I will bring it to you."
Xu Banxia hung up the phone and breathed a long sigh of relief. Building a new steel plant is not something that can be done just by thinking about it. Zhou Chen said that he had connections in the United States and could help. Out of respect for Zhou Chen
Trusting her, she decided to listen to Zhou Chen's opinion.
1999 is the last year of this century and the last year of this millennium. It is a very memorable year.
Wu Jianshe and several others have taken over the No. 2 Provincial Steel and started drastic rectification, and then quickly put it into production, ready to start making money.
Although in the plot, Wu Jianshe and others don't look very good, and they are not as good as Xu Banxia in everything, but in fact, in Jiangdong Province, they have a good reputation in the steel industry, and they are also figures in the steel industry, and they still have some abilities.
.
Not long after Wu Construction took over Provincial No. 2 Steel, Xu Banxia also made a decision to let the steel mill technicians brought from the Northeast go to the United States to learn more advanced technologies in the name of the company, and then come back to build the company.
New steel plant.
In the blink of an eye, Gao Xinyi's Xinyi International Trading Company has been open for half a year, and everything is on the right track. With Zhou Chen's guidance behind the scenes, Gao Yuejin's overt and covert protection, and Gao Xinyi's increasingly outstanding skills.
Management capabilities, the company's performance has been booming.
Recently, Gao Xinyi has indeed become a strong woman in the workplace, and her aura has become as fierce as a two-thirds leap forward.
At the dinner table, while Gao Xinyi was answering the phone, Gao Yuejin asked Zhou Chen: "Do you know about Xu Banxia's plan to build a new steel plant? Does it have anything to do with you?"
Zhou Chen pretended to be surprised and asked: "Auntie, why do you ask that?"
Gao Yuejin snorted coldly and said: "Xu Banxia is a radical person. She gave up the Second Provincial Steel and wanted to build a new steel plant. I don't believe she doesn't know how difficult this road is, but she still chose this road.
I have to wonder if someone was pointing her behind her back. As far as I know, you don’t seem to have cut off all contact with her. You may still be disconnected."
"Ahem."
Zhou Chen coughed twice quickly: "Auntie, these words are not going to cause chaos and spread rumors. If Gao Xinyi hears this, he may not complain."
"Hmph, I don't care what plans and thoughts you young people have, I just want to warn you, if you dare to let Gao Xinyi down, I will never let you go."
"You don't need to say this. If I fail Xin Yi, I will not let myself go."
"Remember what you said."
Gao Yuejin nodded and suddenly asked: "You and Gao Xinyi have been together for a long time. I think she is getting busier and busier now. Don't you have any plans to get married and have children?"
In fact, Gao Xinyi's career is booming now, and she also knows that this is not a good time to get married, but she will always think of the pie that Zhou Chen drew for her before.
If Zhou Chen and Gao Xinyi could get married earlier and have children earlier, she would be able to hold her grandchildren earlier and hear them call her "grandma" earlier. This is what she has always looked forward to.
