Chapter 563: Gong Weize, the unbalanced Zhou Rong couple
"This water flows by itself, so it's a bit alert."
After leaving Taiping Hutong, Zhou Chen was quite surprised when he thought of Shui Ziliu's decisiveness.
In the drama "Human World", Shui Ziliu was originally Luo Shibin's eldest brother, but later as Luo Shibin's business talent showed, Shui Ziliu gradually took the lead between the two, and Luo Shibin took the dominant position.
From being the eldest brother before, to being overshadowed by the younger brother, he was still able to handle the relationship between the two parties very well. From this alone, it can be seen that Shui Ziliu is not a simple person.
But judging from Zhou Chen's two contacts with them, his evaluation of Shui Ziliu is definitely higher than Luo Shibin's.
To be honest, in the TV series, the contrast between the two people is really big.
The original big brother who was a think tank turned into a little brother who was a drag. The little brother who used to be a reckless brawler turned into a business wizard.
Although this era is quite special, after the reform and opening up, many people suddenly became rich.
But Luo Shibin, a man who had not even gone to school for a few days, eventually became a business tycoon. He spoke with great momentum, as if he understood everything at once.
In Zhou Chen's view, this change was a bit abrupt, as if Luo Shibin had become the protagonist and Shui Ziliu suddenly became wise.
Of course, Zhou Chen only found it weird, not ridiculous. There are many strange things in this world. In the next ten or twenty years, too many uneducated people suddenly became rich. Many of them did not even graduate from elementary school. .
However, although Shui Ziliu was somewhat competent, Zhou Chen didn't take him seriously. From the moment he agreed to the deal, the two of them had already fallen into his scheme.
Entering the realm of light words, Zhou Chen was riding towards his home. Suddenly a person appeared in front of him. Zhou Chen was startled and he quickly braked.
"Zhou Bingkun, why did you come back so late?"
Zhou Chen took a closer look and found that he was an acquaintance.
"Uncle Gong, why are you here? It's so late. Are you still patrolling?"
It turned out that the person who suddenly appeared was Gong Weize, the police officer of the Guangzi film section. Although he was a generation older than Zhou Chen and others, he was not much older, so Zhou Chen and others in his generation called him Uncle Gong.
Gong Wei then walked closer and sighed: "I can't help it. Someone recently reported that someone in our optical film was speculating and scalping votes behind the scenes, so the superiors asked me to patrol more to see if there are any suspicious people."
"Then it's really hard for you. It's cold and dark at night."
"Who told me to do this job? Bingkun, you are now the most promising child in our optical film. I heard that you and a girl from Taiping Hutong are dating, and it seems that you are about to get married?"
Zhou Chen said: "Yes, my partner's name is Zheng Juan, and I plan to get married on the sixth day of the new year."
Gong Wei smiled and said: "That's a great thing. I will definitely go and support it when the time comes."
"Then thank you Uncle Gong."
"Yes, they are all from the village, but will your father and others come back for the Chinese New Year?"
"If they don't come back, we won't have a grand wedding, so we'll just invite some close relatives and friends to witness it."
"That's such a pity. Your father will be very happy if he sees you are so promising now. But I remember that you were often taught a lesson by your father when you were a child. Unlike your brother and sister, by the way, your brother
Are you and your sister okay now?"
"It's all good." Zhou Chen responded politely.
Speaking of Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, he really didn't pay much attention to them. He cared a little about Zhou Bingyi, but he was too lazy to care about Zhou Rong.
Don't talk about siblings, it's all bullshit. It can be seen from Zhou Rong's behavior that she doesn't take him seriously, why should she think about her?
To be fair, even Zhou Bingyi's wife Hao Dongmei has made greater contributions to the Zhou family than Zhou Rong.
Speaking of Hao Dongmei, when he wrote to Zhou Bingyi before, he mentioned implicitly in the letter that he asked Zhou Bingyi to pay more attention to Hao Dongmei. It is cold in winter and he should be more careful when doing things.
He could only do this. He couldn't tell Zhou Bingyi directly that Hao Dongmei would fall into the well, causing physical problems and making her infertile.
Although there is no such thing as time travel in this era, predicting the unknown is really scary, and Zhou Chen will not expose this, not even to his closest relatives.
As for whether Hao Dongmei can escape this disaster, it depends on her luck. Anyway, he has done everything he can do.
After chatting with Gong Weize for a few words, Zhou Chen was about to go back, but Gong Weize suddenly pulled him back.
"Bingkun."
Zhou Chen looked at Gong Weize in confusion. He was puzzled by the entangled look on his face.
"Uncle Gong, if there is something wrong with you, just tell me. If I can help, I will definitely help."
Gong Weize also plays a lot of roles in the plot. Although he later became a corrupt member and perverted the law, his achievements in the first half of his life must be acknowledged.
Especially in the memory of "Zhou Bingkun", Gong Weize can definitely be regarded as a responsible film policeman who is very enthusiastic towards the folks in the optical film village.
This is 'Zhou Bingkun''s impression of Gong Weize. After all, he is young and cannot see more.
But Zhou Chen knew that Gong Weize was still a very smooth person and was very good at getting things done. Being able to secure a position as a police officer in the optical film area showed that his ability was quite good.
Gong Weize hesitated for a moment and finally stated his purpose.
"It's Gong Bin."
"What happened to Gong Bin?"
Gong Bin is Gong Weize's nephew and has lived with him since he was very young. Gong Bin is a few years younger than Zhou Chen. Because he witnessed his father's death since he was a child, his spirit was stimulated and he is a mental patient.
Gong Weize said: "Gong Bin has also arrived at work. My ability is limited and I cannot find a suitable job for him, so I would like to ask you for help."
At the end of the sentence, his expression looked very embarrassed. After all, he was an elder, but now he came to beg Zhou Chen, a junior, and his face was dull.
But even if his face was dull, he still had to say this for his nephew.
"Can you please help me find a job for Gong Bin?"
Zhou Chen looked surprised, then frowned and said: "Uncle Gong, it's not that I don't want to help. My abilities are limited and I really can't find a good job for Gong Bin. If it's a temporary job, I can ask someone to think about it."
It’s a good idea, but I want to be a temporary worker. Uncle Gong, you probably don’t like it either, right?”
Of course Gong Weize looked down on temporary workers. In this regard, temporary workers were inherently inferior to regular workers with established establishments. But if there was a choice, no one would choose temporary workers, only regular workers.
"Bingkun, I heard that you did a very good job at Jiangliao Publishing House. You are now a leader. You must know a lot of people. If you can help me solve Gong Bin's work problem, I will contact you whenever you have anything to do in the future.
I, I will never refuse."
Although he is just a police officer, Gong Weize still has some power. He believes that he can definitely help Zhou Chen in some aspects.
Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "Little Uncle Gong, it's not that I don't want to help, it's really that I can't do anything. If I were so capable, I would have found a job for my partner Zheng Juan a long time ago, so that she wouldn't have to spend all day
You go out to set up a stall in the wind and rain, right?"
A look of disappointment flashed across Gong Weize's face, and then he asked tentatively: "I understand, Bingkun, I heard that you know Qu Shuji from the soy sauce factory?"
Hearing this, Zhou Chen immediately understood Gong Weize's purpose. After saying so much, it turned out that he was just setting the stage for this sentence.
"Uncle Gong, I do know Qu Shuji from the soy sauce factory, but we only met once, and I heard that Qu Shuji is a very upright man. If you want me to ask Qu Shuji for help, I think it's best
It’s better not to have this idea, otherwise there was still some hope, but if you go to find Qu Shuji, then there will be no hope at all.”
"Is Qu Shuji really that selfless?"
Gong Wei was a little unconvinced, thinking that Zhou Chen was unwilling to help.
Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said: "It's true. You only need to go to the soy sauce factory and ask around to find out what kind of person Qu Shuji is. I can only say that you can find anyone. Don't even think about going to Qu Shuji's place."
The right path."
Gong Weize's face looked quite ugly, but he quickly returned to normal. If one plan didn't work, then he would try another one.
"If that's the case, forget it. Bingkun, I heard that you have a very good relationship with Cai Xiaoguang?"
Zhou Chen's eyes twitched, Gong Weize really didn't give up until he achieved his goal. Qu Shuji couldn't do it, so he started to play Cai Xiaoguang's scheme again.
As for his purpose in talking about Cai Xiaoguang, Zhou Chen naturally knew it clearly.
Cai Xiaoguang is nothing, his father is the key. Now, Cai Xiaoguang's father has been reinstated and serves as the top leader of the provincial commerce department, with terrifying power.
Cai Xiaoguang was able to become the office director of a unit such as a tractor factory in his early twenties, not because of his ability, but because of his father's help.
Gong Wei talked about Cai Xiaoguang, naturally because of Cai Xiaoguang's father.
Zhou Chen said: "Uncle Gong, I'm not really close to Cai Xiaoguang. He is a classmate of my sister. If you want to get to know Cai Xiaoguang through me, I can help you. But whether he is willing to help you or not, I don't know.
It’s hard to say.”
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to help Gong Weize a little bit. He just wanted to be a middleman. Whether he could succeed or not had nothing to do with him.
Gong Weize was overjoyed, "That's great, Bingkun, thank you, thank you so much."
Zhou Chen said: "It might be a little troublesome to ask Cai Xiaoguang for help directly. In this way, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year when I get married, I will invite Cai Xiaoguang to my house to attend the wedding and introduce you to me."
Gong Wei held Zhou Chen's hand tightly, his face full of gratitude: "Thank you, Bingkun, no matter what trouble you encounter in the future, just come to me, as long as I can help, I will never refuse."
"You don't have to be so polite, little Uncle Gong. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
"Go on, go back quickly, don't let your mother worry."
Because he decided to get married on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Chen has been thinking about who he will invite when the time comes. Although he is not planning to have a big event, he still wants to invite some people.
The most important thing for Chinese people is face. He will definitely invite the colleagues and leaders of the publishing house. As for whether they come or not, it depends on them.

Save your money!
Zhou Zhigang took a train from Shancheng to Guizhou Province. Fortunately, Shancheng was not too far from the Guizhou Province area where he wanted to go, so he didn't spend too much time on the road.
From the letter sent by Zhou Chen, Zhou Zhigang learned that his daughter Zhou Rong was in a village called Jinba Village in the mountainous area of Guizhou Province.
It's just that you know it, but it's not easy to find it.
After asking, walking, and searching, Zhou Zhigang spent a day finally finding Jinba Village.
Zhou Zhigang met his daughter Zhou Rong as he wished. After seeing that Zhou Rong lived in a cave, he felt extremely heartbroken and sad.
She, the only daughter, had been the princess of their family since she was a child. How had she ever endured such hardship and lived in such a place, let alone wearing clothes full of patches?
The father and daughter argued for a while, but in the end Zhou Zhigang compromised first and forgave Zhou Rong. He had no dignity as a father at all and was easily manipulated by his daughter.
Later Zhou Zhigang also met his son-in-law Feng Huacheng. Although he was very angry with Feng Huacheng, he somehow forgave Feng Huacheng and got along harmoniously.
Zhou Zhigang has been staying with his daughter for a few days. Not long ago, he also sent a telegram to his wife and children in his hometown, saying that he would not go back during the New Year and would spend the New Year together with his daughter and son-in-law.
That night, Zhou Zhigang had dinner with his daughter and son-in-law, and the three of them chatted happily.
In fact, Zhou Zhigang has not been comfortable living here these days. Because the conditions here for Zhou Rong and others are very poor, it is impossible for him to squeeze in with his daughter and son-in-law, so he sleeps alone on a temporary bed made of benches.
He suffered from back pain.
But for Zhou Zhigang, although he felt uncomfortable physically, he was very satisfied mentally.
"Dad, if you don't go home during the Chinese New Year, my mother and Bingkun might blame me." Zhou Rong said to her father with a smile.
Zhou Zhigang also smiled and said: "Your mother will definitely not, but maybe that brat Bingkun will. That brat is very messy."
Zhou Rong said: "Bingkun is really a mess, but isn't he already working at Jiangliao Publishing House? Dad, I only know that he works there, but I don't know how he got in?"
Her eldest brother Zhou Bingyi wrote her a letter before, mentioning this matter. When Zhou Zhigang came here a few days ago, he also mentioned it, but she didn't know the specific reason yet.
Feng Huacheng was also very curious and asked: "Dad, I heard Zhou Rong mention her younger brother Bingkun. Didn't it mean that he didn't even graduate from junior high school? Jiangliao Publishing House is the best publishing house in Jiangliao Province. How did he do it?
Are you going to be an editor?"
He learned about Zhou Bingkun's situation from Zhou Rong's mouth, so he felt somewhat unbalanced. He, a famous poet in the capital, was reduced to reforming here.
On the contrary, a person like Zhou Bingkun, who only went to the first year of junior high school and has no education, can work as an editor in the best publishing house in Jiangliao Province. The difference is huge.
Zhou Zhigang said: "Rong'er, don't tell me that you find it strange. Even I, as a father, find it incredible. Bingkun's education level is simply not qualified to work in a publishing house, let alone to be a content editor.
Already."
"Yes, Dad, you see it that way too, right?"
Feng Huacheng was unbalanced, and so was Zhou Rong. She, Zhou Rong, was a top student in optical film, and her younger brother Zhou Bingkun was far less educated than her, let alone compared to her husband Feng Huacheng.
As a result, her brother Zhou Bingkun is now living a better life than them, and she feels a little unbalanced.
Zhou Zhigang said: "Bingkun's letter said that he was able to join the publishing house because he met a magazine editor. That person admired him very much, so he recruited him to the publishing house as an editor. As for why that person admired him, Bingkun said
