Chapter 409: Human life is at stake, elevator accident
Years of biological clocks made Zhou Chen wake up early in the morning. He put on his sportswear, told his mother who had already gotten up to make breakfast, and went out to exercise.
Although Ode to Joy Community is a mid-range community, the environment is pretty good. There is a large sports square. Zhou Chen started running around the small square to exercise.
Andy gets up early in the morning to exercise. She is a very self-disciplined person. Not only in terms of work, she is also strict with herself. When to do, what should be done, what should not be done, she has perfect rules.
planning.
After getting up every morning, she would exercise, run, and move her body to wake herself up quickly from sleep, refresh her mind, and recharge her batteries.
While running, she was on the phone with Tan Zongming, the boss of Shengxuan Group, who asked her to return to China to help.
After what happened last night, she was very impatient with the Ode to Joy community and didn't want to live here anymore, so she called Tan Zongming and asked him to change her apartment.
After hanging up the phone, Andy continued running, preparing to run one more lap before returning.
"Um?"
Suddenly, she saw someone who was also running. The other person was a man. If she recognized it correctly, this man was the man who suddenly appeared last night.
Among the group of people last night, the person who impressed her the most was undoubtedly Zhou Chen, who appeared last.
Even though she had met many business elites and high-quality men, the man yesterday still left a deep impression on him.
Especially the last look made her feel baffled.
She was a very active person, and with doubts in her heart, she quickly ran towards Zhou Chen.
"Hello sir."
Zhou Chen, who was running, heard the voice behind him, slowly stopped and turned his head to look.
He was very surprised to see that the person calling him was Andy. He unexpectedly met Andy, but Andy was not the kind of person who would talk to strangers casually.
"Hello."
Andy said: "We met yesterday. I am a resident of 2201. My name is Andy. Do you live here too? Why didn't I see you exercising a few days ago?"
She has lived here for a few days and gets up every morning to exercise. But for Zhou Chen, this is really the first time she has seen him exercise.
"Zhou Chen, my parents live downstairs from you. I don't usually live here."
Zhou Chen had no feelings for his half-sister, but no matter what, they both had similar blood flowing through them, and relatively speaking, they were closer than other strangers.
Some.
It's just that he knows the relationship between Andy and himself, but Andy doesn't know the relationship between them.
After Andy said "Oh", she didn't know what to say. She was not a talkative person to begin with, let alone a stranger.
Andy didn't know what to say, and Zhou Chen didn't know what to say either. After all, he knew Andy's character, and he didn't have the habit of being hot-faced and cold-blooded.
His skill is that of Voldemort, not Sister Voldemort.
In the end, the two of them ran away and dispersed, and their first meeting ended hastily.
"eat more."
Sun Yi showed the meat buns she made to Zhou Chen: "The meat buns made at home are the cleanest. Eat more."
"Okay, Mom, you eat too, don't patronize me."
Zhou Chen was drinking porridge, eating pickles, and eating steamed buns.
He still prefers this more traditional breakfast to having bread, milk, etc. for breakfast.
"Mom, if you are okay, you can go out and play. I will let Liuzi pick you up. There is no need to stay at home all day."
Zhou Guofu rolled his eyes and said, "If your mother and I go out, we can drive by ourselves. We don't need you to arrange a driver for us. Don't worry about us. We are busy with your business."
"I'm not afraid that my mother will be bored at home alone."
He is not worried about his father Zhou Guofu, because Zhou Guofu has not retired yet, but his mother Sun Yi is different. If her father is not at home, she will have to be at home alone.
It's impossible to do housework all the time when you're at home alone. Going out for a walk more often is good for your health.
Sun Yi said: "Okay, don't worry about us and eat slowly."
After breakfast, Zhou Chen drove to the company. As the chairman of a large group, although he has many capable people under him, many things still need to be handled by him personally, so he is also very busy.
Zhou Chen stayed at Chenxing Building until the afternoon. Just when he was preparing to pack up and get off work, an unexpected thing happened.
Zhou Chen picked up a medicinal plant in front of him, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, then frowned.
"Is this all the medicine in this batch?"
Sitting in front of Zhou Chen is the director of the pharmaceutical factory, who is in charge of production. He just came to Zhou Chen with a bag of medicinal materials and said that there was something wrong with this batch of medicinal materials.
Chenxing Pharmaceutical Factory is said to be a factory, but in fact it is a small group. It is also the most profitable and largest company under Chenxing Group.
After all, this industry is a company that Zhou Chen has established through several worlds and using the most professional methods. Several new drugs on the market have also caused a huge sensation at home and abroad.
Therefore, Zhou Chen attaches no less importance to Chenxing Pharmaceutical than the mobile Internet industry, especially focusing on medicinal materials and production.
Within the framework of Chenxing Pharmaceutical, medicinal material review and finished product testing are the most important links, and no mistakes are allowed. Any finished drug that fails the final test will be disposed of directly and will never be allowed to enter the market.
Director Sun said with a serious face: "Director Zhou, we have already checked and found that nearly 50% of this batch of medicinal materials are like this. If we produce these medicinal materials, the final finished medicine will definitely not pass the test."
"Fifty percent?"
Zhou Chen's face instantly became extremely ugly. In the few years since Chenxing Pharmaceutical was established, he has been getting medicines from major drug dealers. Although there are occasionally some defects, the quantity is not large. Like this time, nearly 50% of the medicines have problems.
, this is simply appalling.
"It seems that some people have begun to swell and feel that we, Chenxing, have been fooled."
Director Sun looked bitter: "I didn't expect that Lao Fei has been cooperating with us for six years and is one of our largest suppliers of Chenxing Pharmaceutical. This kind of mistake has never happened before. How could it happen this time?"
matter?"
Zhou Chen looked gloomy: "I personally negotiated the cooperation with Lao Fei. In recent years, he has relied on our Chenxing Pharmaceutical to become one of the largest medicinal material dealers in northern Jiangsu. Although he is very capable, he is absolutely
I dare not do such a thing."
Chenxing Pharmaceutical is definitely at the top in the pharmaceutical industry today. Although Lao Fei's pharmaceutical company is not small in scale, it is incomparable to Chenxing Pharmaceutical. More than half of their company's profits are provided by Chenxing Pharmaceutical.
Logically speaking, they would not dare to offend Chenxing Pharmaceuticals if they offend anyone. How could they fool them with substandard medicinal materials at this time?
"Yes, I think so too, but the facts are in front of us. I have asked people to keep all the goods. Director Jay, will you inform Lao Fei directly?"
Zhou Chen snorted coldly: "Although the pharmaceutical factory is not a hospital, it is still in the business of treating diseases and saving people. Taking unqualified medicinal materials is harming people. There is no need to notify Lao Fei, but directly use the name of the company to notify them to terminate cooperation with them.
"
"End the cooperation directly?"
Director Sun didn't expect that Zhou Chen wouldn't even give him a chance to explain. After all, they had cooperated with each other for many years and still had a good relationship.
"Old Sun, I know you have some friendship with Lao Fei, but some things can be forgiven, but some things cannot be forgiven. Just do as I say."
Director Sun felt a chill in his heart. He knew that this was Zhou Chen's warning to him, because he did have some friendship with Lao Fei, and they often drank together.
But facing the furious Zhou Chen, he did not dare to say a word of mercy.
"Okay, I will issue an official announcement immediately."
"Dr. Jay, do we need to recruit new suppliers?"
"How long will the inventory be enough for production?"
"According to normal production, the inventory should be enough for three months."
"Then just wait, someone will come to your door soon, and we will take advantage of this incident to give those suppliers a good beating and let them know that Chenxing can still operate without them, and they have left.
Chenxing, I can’t even drink the broth.”
Zhou Chen is not the kind of person who is only interested in profit and wants to make all the money himself.
When he does business, whether it's with employees or partners, as long as it's within the scope he can accept, he doesn't mind sharing a little profit.
But the premise is that you don't cause trouble for him. If anyone wants to cause trouble and goes too far, he will let them know that he is not easy to mess with, and he has plenty of means to deal with them.
Although Director Sun was also a powerful figure in front of others, in front of Zhou Chen, he was very humble and did not dare to say a word of objection.
"Okay, you go back first. Remember the bottom line of our Chenxing Pharmaceutical. No matter what kind of medicinal materials it is, as long as it is unqualified, we will not use it, and no one can say it."
"Yes, Director Jay."
After Director Sun left, Zhou Chen leaned on the back of his chair with deep eyes.
In just ten years, he was able to develop from a college student from another city to the top figure in the business world of Shanghai. He cannot rely solely on his ability.
In terms of connections, methods, etc., he is no worse than anyone else. Although he basically does not appear in public, many people in the business community of Shanghai City know that the chairman of Chenxing Group is a ruthless master.
A melodious cell phone ringtone rang. Zhou Chen picked up the phone and saw that it was Xiao Zheng, the property manager.
Xiao Zheng knew his identity and did not dare to call him at all. He would only call him when his parents had something to do.
"What happened again?"
Zhou Chen was confused and answered the phone. After a few seconds, he suddenly stood up.
"What?"
"I don't care what means you use, rescue my parents immediately. I will go there now."
I quickly hung up the phone, then called Liuzi and asked him to drive over.
Xiao Zheng just called to inform him that his parents had an accident while riding in the elevator. The elevator suddenly stopped between floors for unknown reasons, and they are now looking for someone to repair and rescue them.
His parents were having trouble all day long, and he, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
There may be many things in this world that can make him lose his temper, but there are really only a few people who can make him lose his temper. Among them, the ones at the forefront are his parents.
Fortunately, Xiao Zheng said that there were not only his parents in the elevator, but also five women on the 22nd floor.
But even so, Zhou Chen's heart was still full of urgency. He suddenly thought that there seemed to be this scene in the TV plot, where five women on the 22nd floor were trapped in the elevator.
Although there was a near miss in the plot in the end, but now in the real world, with two more people, who knows if an accident will happen.
Zhou Chen arrived at Ode to Joy very quickly. The elevator hadn't been repaired yet, so he couldn't care less and headed straight for the stairs.
Even with his physical ability, he was still panting from exhaustion after rushing to the 21st floor in one breath.
"Dad, Mom, are you okay?"
Seeing the old couple sitting on the sofa watching TV, Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief and asked again.
Zhou Guofu smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just that your mother was a little frightened."
After all, Sun Yi is a woman. When encountering such a thing, her mentality will definitely be much worse than that of a man.
She grabbed Zhou Chen's hands with force: "Xiao Chen, you really scared me just now. I heard other residents said there were problems with the elevator before, but this was really the first time we encountered it. Fortunately, it was
There are a few little girls upstairs in the elevator. If it were just me and your dad, we would definitely be scared."
Zhou Guofu said dissatisfied: "I wasn't scared at all. I calmly contacted the property management company at that time."
"Hmph, I don't know who's legs were shaking after they came out, but they were helped up."
Sun Yi mercilessly exposed her husband's pretense of being strong, making Zhou Guofu look embarrassed.
"Xiaochen, you have to thank the little girls upstairs. Thanks to them, especially the little girl named Xiaoguan, she was very frightened herself and kept comforting us.
She also took the initiative to help us go upstairs."
"Guan Ju'er?"
Zhou Chen looked surprised.
"What? Son, do you know Xiaoguan?"
Zhou Chen said: "I've met him twice before, but I'm not familiar with him."
Sun Yi said: "Then you have to thank me properly. Apart from Xiaoguan, the other girls are also pretty good."
Perhaps because they had experienced danger together, Sun Yi had very good feelings for the girls upstairs.
"Especially Xiaoguan. This child is beautiful, polite, and has a sense of elegance. You can tell at a glance that he was raised by a well-educated family."
Zhou Guofu smiled and said: "Your mother was telling me just now that she wanted that Xiaoguan to be her daughter-in-law."
Zhou Chen immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, you have only met her once, so you think too much."
Sun Yi rolled her eyes: "I am not forced by you. If you have a partner, should I pay attention to a good girl when I see one? But this test is really good, but she looks a bit young, but she should
I'm not much older than you; you are only twenty-six, but you act like you are thirty every day, without any vitality at all."
"My son is the chairman of the group, so of course he has to act mature. If not, how can he control those people in the company?"
Zhou Guofu understands Zhou Chen very well. As a young and famous Zhou Chen, although his wealth is astonishing now, he is really young in the business world. He needs to dress more mature and dignified.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Dad and Mom, it's fine that you are fine. But if something like this happened, the property management company must give an explanation."
Zhou Chen was very dissatisfied when he thought of the elevator incident. If one happened, there would be two. Who knows if similar things will happen in the future.
Sun Yi said: "Forget it, Xiaochen, we have lived here for a few years, and this time an accident happened. There is no need to hold on to it."
On the other hand, Zhou Guofu said: "Old Sun, although we are fine this time, we still need to warn when we should. We also paid the money. Now that something like this happened, it was a mistake in their work. We must give him an explanation no matter what.
"
"Mom, Dad, I'll communicate this, so you don't have to come forward. The neighbors upstairs also want to thank you, so why don't I invite them to have a meal together."
Zhou Chen thought this was a good opportunity. He was worried that he had no excuse to contact the people upstairs. This time, it was a blessing in disguise, and a good opportunity appeared.
Sun Yi and Zhou Guofu both agreed: "That's okay. I'll leave it to you. You are all young people and easy to communicate with. We old people won't come forward."
Zhou Chen comforted his parents again, and then took the stairs to the 22nd floor.
There were three doors on the 22nd floor. Zhou Chen didn't hesitate and chose 2202 directly.
The elevator incident that happened in the afternoon frightened the three women in 2202. After returning home, they all collapsed on their own beds to rest.
Speaking of the three people in 2202, it is a bit strange. In addition to the common area, there are three rooms in total, one for each of the three people.
Strangely, among the three, Fan Shengmei, who works the longest and has the highest salary, lives in the worst room of the three, which is separated from the original living room.
Guan Ju'er, who had just joined the internship, lived in the best room, which not only had good sunlight, but also had a large window, which was very convenient for sunlight and ventilation.
Qiu Yingying lives in the middle house, but the sun and windows are neither closed nor closed.
The prices of three different rooms are naturally different. Guan Juer's room is the most expensive, followed by Qiu Yingying's room, and Fan Shengmei's room is the cheapest.
The three of them had just recovered from the thrilling elevator incident. Some were playing with their mobile phones, some were reading, and some were sleeping.
"Dong dong dong!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the three women sat up from the bed and walked out of the room.
"Who, who of you ordered takeout?"
Fan Shengmei's room was facing the door, so she was the first to come out and curiously asked the other two rooms.
Guan Ju'er walked out and said, "I didn't order takeout."
Qiu Yingying also walked out and said in a daze: "I didn't order takeout either."
"I haven't ordered takeout, so who's going to knock on the door?"
Fan Shengmei was confused, but she still walked to the door and opened it.
When she saw Zhou Chen at the door, her expression suddenly changed: "Is it you?"
