It is very rare for guests to come to the house late at night.
Zhou Chen recognized two of them at just one glance. They turned out to be Xiao Guoqing's mother and Wu Qian. In addition, there were two other people, a boy and a girl.
"This is?"
Zhou Chen asked Zheng Juan, who shook her head.
"I don't know. Mom and Guangming took Ruirui and Yueyue out."
When Wu Qian and the other two saw Zhou Chen coming back, they all stood up. Wu Qian said hello first: "Bingkun, you are back."
Zhou Chen nodded, and then said to Xiao Guoqing's mother: "Auntie, Wu Qian, what are you doing?"
Wu Qian said nothing, but Xiao Guoqing's mother suddenly bowed to Zhou Chen.
"Bingkun, aunt came here today to ask for your help."
When Zhou Chen heard this, he immediately asked in confusion: "Did something happen during the National Day?"
Wu Qian said quickly: "It's okay on National Day."
"That?"
Wu Qian glanced at her mother-in-law and said nothing, but Zhou Chen also understood and looked at Xiao Guoqing's mother.
"Auntie, sit down. If you want anything, please sit down and say, Juan'er, go and pour tea for Auntie and the others."
Xiao's mother waved her hands quickly: "No, no, Bingkun, we have already drank."
Zhou Chen nodded, and then asked: "Auntie, if you have any questions, just tell me. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."
He already had a guess in his mind that Xiao Guoqing probably didn't know about this, otherwise, the person who came was definitely not Xiao Guoqing's mother.
Mother Xiao asked cautiously: "Bingkun, I heard from Guoqing and Qian'er that you work in a publishing house, right?"
"right."
Xiao's mother showed a flattering smile on her face, and then said: "Bingkun, let me tell you straight, this is the National Day, his second sister and second brother-in-law, his second brother-in-law graduated from junior high school, is an educated man, you are in a publishing house
As a cadre, can you please find him a job in a publishing house?"
"Um?"
Zhou Chen suddenly showed an expression of astonishment, surprised that Xiao's mother actually made this request, but he quickly reacted and regained his calm expression.
"Auntie, I'm really sorry. If you had come here a few months ago, maybe I could have helped. But now, I am no longer the deputy editor, just an ordinary editor. I don't have this right at all. Even I
I may lose this job at any time, so I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this."
When Xiao's mother and others heard this, they were all shocked. Wu Qian even asked impatiently: "Bingkun, what is going on? Aren't you a good deputy editor? How could this happen?
?”
Zhou Chen sighed helplessly: "Who can say for sure when it comes to work? Madam, I really can't help with this matter."
Xiao's mother and her daughter and son-in-law looked at each other, unable to hide their disappointment. They did not think that Zhou Chen would lie to them, because there was no need at all. This was something they would know with just a little inquiry.
Xiao Guoqing's second sister asked hesitantly: "Bingkun, you have worked in the publishing house for so many years, so you must know a lot of people. Can you please help introduce the leadership of the publishing house? Our family is really well-educated and talented.
Able to write articles.”
Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, he had already said it very straightforwardly, why couldn't Xiao Guoqing's second sister understand?
Although he and Xiao Guoqing were childhood friends, they really had no impression of his sister. As for Xiao Guoqing's brother-in-law, he didn't know much about her at all.
Who can't write articles, but being able to write doesn't mean he can write well. It's not like he looks down on this person. How good an article can he write after graduating from junior high school?
What he just said didn't want to be too straightforward, as it would make everyone look bad, but it seems that Xiao Guoqing's second sister is not as discerning as Wu Qian.
"Second sister, it's because I don't have a good relationship with the leader that I have become a small editor now. If I go to the leader, there may be no hope at all."
The second sister Xiao Guoqing looked a little unhappy, and as for her man, he sat there without saying a word, which made Zhou Chen sneer in his heart.
This man, when I just saw him, he was all smiles;
Now that I learned that he was not a cadre and could not help me, his expression immediately turned cold. It was so realistic.
If it wasn't for Xiao Guoqing's sake, he would have kicked them away directly.
Wu Qian, who usually didn't have much discernment, was quite discerning at this time. She suddenly stood up.
"Mom, second sister, it's getting late. My dad and I are waiting for us to go back to get food during the National Day. Let's go back first."
She actually didn't want to come this time, because even if the matter was successful, she wouldn't get any benefits.
Moreover, she also knew very well the character of Xiao Guoqing, the second sister and brother-in-law. Before she came, she knew that this would not work.
Xiao's mother was a little embarrassed, but Xiao Guoqing's sister and brother-in-law were very straightforward. They stood up, said something and left.
After they all left, even Zheng Juan, who had a particularly good temper, couldn't help but said angrily: "Who are these people, Bingkun, don't be angry."
Zhou Chen laughed and said, "I'm not angry, I just find it funny."
It's really funny to encounter this kind of thing, but there are everyone in this world, so there's no need to make a fuss.
He quickly forgot about this, but the next day, Xiao Guoqing found him in person and apologized to him very ashamedly. No matter what Zhou Chen said, he still apologized, which made Zhou Chen even embarrassed in the end.
A month later, Zhou Chen drank with Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chaochao again. As they drank, Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chachao got a little carried away and began to vent.
"Kun'er, you don't know, what those people in Guangzidiao said about you now, even when we heard it, we were so angry that our teeth hurt. What kind of people are you?"
Sun Qianchao took a sip of wine and patted the table with a red face.
Although Zhou Chen and his family have moved away from Guangzi Film, there are still many topics about them, especially not long ago, when they learned that Zhou Chen's cadre was pulled down, and he suddenly became the seventh aunt of Guangzi Film.
Auntie’s gossip theme.
In the past, when Zhou Chen was doing well, he would naturally say all kinds of good things and praise him, but now that Zhou Chen has become worse, all kinds of unpleasant things would come out.
As Zhou Chen's childhood friends, Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing, who had received help from Zhou Chen, were naturally extremely angry. At first, they helped Zhou Chen to say a few words to those people, but they soon discovered that it was useless.
People are still gossiping like that.
Zhou Chen smiled casually: "What do you care about those rumors? I don't rely on them to live my life."
Xiao Guoqing's face was full of guilt: "Kun'er, this matter is still my fault. If it weren't for my sister and the others, your matter wouldn't have spread so quickly."
Zhou Chen patted him on the shoulder and advised: "It's a long time ago. Why are you talking about it? This matter has nothing to do with you."
"I just feel unhappy and feel aggrieved for you." Xiao Guoqing said angrily.
Sun Qianchao said to Zhou Chen: "Kun'er, you know, the reason why this matter spread so quickly has a lot to do with Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao. Qiao Chunyan's mother said a lot, everything was
They program you."
Xiao Guoqing also said: "Now we all compare you with Qiao Chunyan in our editorial department. You used to be the deputy editor and a cadre, and Qiao Chunyan was just a pedicure worker; but now that you are here, Qiao Chunyan is like shit."
Fortunately, I became the deputy director of women’s films, and now I’m a celebrity in phototype films.”
Zhou Chen asked: "Has Qiao Chunyan been promoted?"
He had seen this in a TV series, so he was not surprised.
"Yes, their family is very proud now, and Cao Debao is even more dragged down. Those who don't know may think he has become a cadre."
Sun Qianchao's tone was very strange. He was unhappy, envious, and had a hint of regret.
Zhou Chen could understand what he was thinking. It was just that he didn't marry Qiao Chunyan in the first place, and ended up taking advantage of Cao Debao.
Who would have thought that a pedicurist in a bathhouse could rise to the top and become a women's director? It's really a bit fantasy.
Zhou Chen comforted her: "There is no need to envy others, and don't just see her current glory. Believe me, you will have the opportunity to be better than her in the future."
Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao both smiled. Although they were not confident, they were also very hopeful.
"Then we can lend you some good advice."
Zhou Chen smiled. To be fair, these two people were good to him. As long as their minds remained unchanged in the future, he would definitely take care of them.
With his ability, as long as he takes a little care of Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao, they will definitely live a better life than Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao.
In the autumn of 1976, Zheng Juan gave birth to Zhou Chen's second child. What made Zhou Chen a little disappointed was that the second child turned out to be a boy again, so they didn't make a good baby.
The second child, Zhou Chen, did not argue with Li Suhua, and the name was decided to be the name Zhou Zhigang left behind when he left, Zhou Cong.
When Zhou Zhigang left, he specially chose two names for his unborn grandson, one male and one female.
Zheng Juan gave birth to a boy, so the name she chose was naturally Zhou Cong.
