Chapter 607: Two years later, with his reputation rising, Guangming went to Hong Kong
Just as Zhou Chen thought, Wan Shibing's friends are all a group of second generation, and they are not too young, they are all in their twenties and thirties.
People of this age basically have their own jobs. There are seven of them in total. Except for one who just joined the team and returned to Yanjing and just entered college last year, the rest of them have jobs.
And it's not just any ordinary job. Basically, they work in government agencies. The highest-ranking one is a division-level cadre, who works in the tax bureau. It can be said that he has a lot of power.
The rest of the people also have different levels, ranging from deputy director to major and minor.
Perhaps many people in later generations have a bad impression of the second generation, but in fact, most of the officials' children have abilities and vision that exceed those of ordinary people.
As long as the education at home is good, the chance of success is much higher than that of children from poor families.
After all, their living environment and experiences since childhood are different, so they are destined to be ahead of most people.
Zhou Chen has met many such second-generation people before. Judging from his experience, most of the second-generation officials are basically relatively low-key. Those second-generation people who rely on their family background and are very high-profile will not last long.
.
Wan Shibing took Zhou Chen to eat with these people. There was no so-called contempt or disdain, but they were very enthusiastic. Especially after Zhou Chen showed his vision and ability, everyone became even more enthusiastic towards him.
Outstanding people will be valued wherever they go. These people have been hanging out in the compound since they were young. They may have a bit of a dandy temperament, but they still have a sharp eye.
This meal was in a secret private kitchen. Although it was private, the place was not small. It gave Zhou Chen the feeling that it was a bit similar to a private club later.
Zhou Chen knew why Wan Shibing brought him here. It was just to increase his connections.
It must be that Wan Shibing saw that he was not the kind of person who was willing to be ordinary, so he introduced so many friends to him.
One more friend means one more way out.
This sentence may not apply to everyone, but as long as there is mutual benefit, it is still worthy of belief.
Life in Yanjing is actually not much different from that in Jichun City. The family still revolves around the children. Apart from that, Zhou Chen goes to school.
However, there are more things to prepare for this year. After this summer, Zhou Rui and Feng Yue will both go to elementary school when they reach the age.
Although there is no need to worry about not being able to go to school now, because of Zhou Chen's household registration, only Zhou Chen moved to Yanjing, so it is not easy for the children to go to a good elementary school.
Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng were very worried about this matter, and they discussed it many times during the Chinese New Year.
Zhou Chen is not in a hurry at all. When he chose to rent his current house, it was not just for the convenience of going to school, but he also had more plans.
Not far from their current community, there is a newly opened community that was completed in the first half of this year.
Real estate today is still very different from later. Most houses are bought and sold after they are built.
Zhou Chen had already set his sights on a house in that community. According to his estimate, it would cost several thousand yuan to buy a three-bedroom apartment.
Even in the capital Yanjing, the current houses cannot be considered real commercial houses in a strict sense. They are basically built by the state. Most of them are purchased by employees within the factory, and only a few houses are put up for sale.
Zhou Chen didn't know much about real estate in this era, especially in Yanjing. He learned a lot of information from Wan Shibing.
However, although a house is difficult to buy, Zhou Chen has already found a way to buy one, so there is no problem in buying one.
The reason why I chose the house here is because there happens to be a public primary school nearby, which is pretty good in Yanjing.
As long as you buy a house and find someone, you can transfer your household registration. With a Yanjing household registration, it will be much easier to go to school.
In the following time, apart from studying, Zhou Chen was busy buying a house, changing his household registration and arranging for his children to go to school.
In the blink of an eye, more than two years have passed.
Zhou Chen did not attend medical school for four years, but after the third year, he went to work at the First Hospital.
Although he has only been employed for one year, Zhou Chen has quickly established a reputation in the hospital with his excellent medical skills.
In the operating room of the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhou Chen, wearing a white coat, pushed open the door of the operating room and was about to pull down his mask and take a long breath.
"Zhou Chen, you're out, how is my dad?"
Zhang Shiyuan ran to Zhou Chen with a nervous look on his face and asked uneasily.
Zhou Chen looked at Zhang Shiyuan in front of him. This was one of the friends introduced to him by Wan Shibing. He was also the one with the highest rank and the oldest age.
More than two years have passed, and Zhang Shiyuan has changed from a department-level cadre to the current deputy department-level cadre. He is a deputy department-level cadre in his thirties and is still a department with real power. Zhang Shiyuan is destined to have a bright future.
Zhang Shiyuan's father is a retired leader. He got cancer and saw many doctors. Because he was old and he was a former leader, even the experts did not recommend surgery for him, or they did not dare to give him surgery easily.
Surgery is recommended and conservative treatment is recommended.
But Zhang Shiyuan couldn't bear his father's pain and asked many experts to find him. In the end, he had no choice but to listen to Wan Shibing's advice and found Zhou Chen, who worked in the oncology department.
Zhou Chen did not go to pediatrics or other departments this time, but chose the oncology department.
I stayed in the hospital for more than a year. In the first half year, I barely performed a few surgeries. But later on, I showed my superb medical skills and was valued by the director of the oncology department. I started to participate in surgeries in less than a year.
Here, dozens of surgeries were performed.
What is shocking is that none of the dozens of surgeries failed. It is precisely because of this that he has become a popular figure in the oncology department.
Doctors who can perform such major surgeries are very scarce these days, not to mention Zhou Chen's amazing success rate, which is as rare as pandas.
It was only after Zhang Shiyuan learned about Zhou Chen's achievements that he safely handed over his father to Zhou Chen, which led to today's scene.
"Brother Yuan, the operation went well. Uncle will have to wait for a while before he can come out. We will discuss the follow-up matters in detail in my office later. I have to take one step in advance."
The operation lasted several hours and was extremely intensive. Even Zhou Chen spent a lot of energy, and at the same time, the physical aspect also needed to be addressed.
"Thank you, thank you, Zhou Chen..."
When Zhang Shiyuan heard that the operation went smoothly, his eyes turned red with excitement.
Although the old man in his family is retired, as long as he is alive, he is a sign and is helpful to their family. Therefore, Zhou Chen saved his father's life, which is a great kindness to their family.
This is also the biggest reason why a superb doctor can be respected by others.
After all, no matter who you are, you will inevitably suffer from illness. It would be absolutely gratifying to have a good doctor to help you.
Although Zhang Shiyuan and others knew Zhou Chen and had many meals together, their group still did not put Zhou Chen on the same level as them.
But this time I saw Zhou Chen's medical skills and knew that he could even perform major surgeries accurately, so my attention to him immediately increased several levels.
In order to express his gratitude to Zhou Chen, Zhang Shiyuan even called other people to do the hosting in person to express his gratitude to Zhou Chen.
As a result, Zhou Chen's relationship with this group of second generations has become better. No, it can no longer be said to be the second generation, because these people have now performed their respective duties and have achieved their own achievements.
On this day, after Zhou Chen completed the operation, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and he rode his motorcycle home.
Although it is already 1982, it is not easy to buy a car, and Zhou Chen does not want to be too high-profile, so he asked someone to buy a new motorcycle. It is not as good as a car, but it is much more convenient than a bicycle.
.
Now they have moved to a newly bought house, which is far away from the hospital. It takes twenty minutes by motorcycle, and even slower by bicycle.
Speaking of houses, Zhou Chen asked Zhang Shiyuan and others to help him search some time ago to see if anyone had sold courtyard houses recently. He wanted to buy one.
He is very clear about the future value of the courtyard house. As long as he keeps it for twenty or thirty years, it may be worth hundreds of millions in the future. It is a good deal to buy it as a real estate investment.
In the past few worlds, he had bought a courtyard house, which was still a large one, but he also discovered that living in a courtyard house was actually not as comfortable as a modern new villa.
The main reason is that the courtyard house is a traditional residence and can be bought or sold, but it cannot be modified at will. Even though the area is large, if you really want to enjoy it, a large modern villa is better.
After all, the villa can be modified according to your own ideas. If you have money, it is very convenient to get a swimming pool, basketball court, gym, etc.
Therefore, even if Zhou Chen was planning to buy a courtyard house, he never thought about actually living there regularly. It would be okay to live there occasionally.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a suitable courtyard house for sale. There are some for sale, but they are either too small in size or have a complicated composition of residents. If I buy them, I may have trouble.
Zhou Chen didn't want to get into trouble, so he never thought about buying those courtyard houses.
As soon as she opened the door and walked into the house, she heard Zheng Juan yelling angrily.
"This question is so simple, why do you always get it wrong? This...this...is equal to..."
Zhou Chen knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. This situation had happened more than once.
Walking into the bedroom, as expected, Zheng Juan was helping Zhou Rui with his homework, while Feng Yue was sitting aside 'trembling'.
"uncle."
When Feng Yue saw Zhou Chen, she ran over excitedly as if she had seen a savior.
Zhou Chen touched her head and asked, "Have you finished your homework?"
Feng Yue stuck out her tongue: "No."
After saying that, he secretly glanced at Zheng Juan and Zhou Rui.
When Zheng Juan saw Zhou Chen coming back, she straightened up and breathed out slowly: "Bingkun, you are back. You should tutor them, and I will cook for you."
Without waiting for Zhou Chen to respond, she quickly left the room, as if she was escaping from a wild beast.
Zhou Chen looked at Zhou Rui who looked aggrieved and asked with a smile: "Ruirui, have you made your mother angry again?"
He didn't find it strange at all that Zheng Juan lost her temper. No matter how good-tempered a mother was, she would have no problem tutoring her children in their studies for a day or two. But over time, something would definitely go wrong.
Zheng Juan is a living example. She has been married to Zhou Chen for so many years and has never lost her temper a few times. However, she has been tutoring Zhou Rui and Feng Yue in their homework for more than a year, but she can't control her temper.
Zhou Rui looked aggrieved: "Dad, can you please stop asking my mother to tutor me? I can do it myself."
Feng Yue and Zhou Rui are a few months apart. They are both in second grade now, and they are in the same class. They have the same homework every day.
Feng Yue is a niece, Zheng Juan can control herself even if she is anxious, but facing her son Zhou Rui, she can't control herself, and vents her depression on Feng Yue to Zhou Rui, so Zhou Rui just
It would be so aggrieved.
Zhou Chen walked over and sat down next to Zhou Rui: "Your mother is doing it for your own good, but you don't know how to show appreciation."
"But, she can't do it at all. What she says every time is different from what you and the teacher said. I was good at it, but when she says it, I always get confused."
Although Zhou Rui is only eight years old, he is like a little adult and has a relatively mature mind.
Zhou Chen didn't refute this. Zheng Juan's cultural level was indeed not good. She graduated from elementary school. When he taught Zheng Juan, he was so angry that he almost shut himself down.
But Zheng Juan didn't understand. She felt that teaching her son and niece elementary school questions shouldn't be a problem, and what she did was indeed correct, but her thinking was different from Zhou Rui and Feng Yue, so she always ended up being more serious.
Anyway, if Zhou Chen was asked to comment, there would only be one sentence: Zheng Juan is a good person and loves to teach.
"Okay, stop complaining. If your mother hears it, you will suffer. There is nothing wrong with it. I will teach you."
Zhou Rui and Feng Yue immediately smiled. They liked Zhou Chen's tutoring the most because Zhou Chen taught better than their teachers.
After tutoring the two children, Zhou Chen walked to the living room and saw Zheng Juan and his mother Li Suhua already sitting at the table waiting for him.
"Mom, Juan'er, is Congcong asleep?"
Li Suhua nodded and said, "Yes, I fell asleep."
Zhou Chen sat down, picked up the tomato and egg noodles made by Zheng Juan and started eating.
Zheng Juan looked at it and said: "I received a letter from Guangming today. He said that he has done everything you asked him to do. He also said that if you are free, go to his place. You told him
He doesn’t understand many things very well.”
More than a year ago, Zheng Guangming was sent to Xiangjiang through Zhou Chen's connections, his identity was established, and a school was found for him.
Going to school is one of the goals, and the other is to develop in Xiangjiang through Zheng Guangming.
Although Zhou Chen chose to be a doctor, he definitely couldn't let go of making money. There was nothing else he could do, but without money, many things wouldn't be possible.
The current domestic situation is still relatively average. In Yanjing, even if he knows some people, it is difficult to become bigger and stronger at this time.
So he set his sights on Hong Kong, which is a highly prosperous free port and international metropolis. It is one of the global financial centers and a true first-tier city in the world.
For Zhou Chen, Xiangjiang is now a golden land. As long as the method is right, the money earned must be packed in sacks.
Zhou Chen had no way to go there with his family, so he asked the trustworthy Zheng Guangming to go to Xiangjiang to work for him.
At the beginning, when Zheng Juan heard that Zhou Chen was going to send her only brother to Xiangjiang, she refused even if she was killed.
But Zhou Chen did not listen to her, but let Zheng Guangming make his own choice.
Zheng Guangming finally chose to follow Zhou Chen's decision, because Zhou Chen told him that men can't stay in their comfort zone all the time, so they should go out and have a try.
After Zheng Guangming's eyes recovered, he was curious about everything. After hearing Zhou Chen talk about the prosperity of Xiangjiang, he naturally yearned for it.
After Zheng Guangming went to Xiangjiang, Zhou Chen was responsible for remotely controlling him and letting him act according to his plan.
In more than a year, under Zhou Chen's instructions, Zheng Guangming also made a lot of money.
However, he was not blinded by the prosperity of Xiangjiang and the large amount of money. He still obeyed Zhou Chen and did whatever Zhou Chen asked him to do. He never went beyond it.
"I understand. I will reply to him tomorrow."
Zheng Juan whispered: "Guangming said he won't come back for the New Year next year. Plus last year, I haven't seen him for almost two years."
Zhou Chen knew that Zheng Juan missed Zheng Guangming, so he put down Kuaizi and said, "If you really miss him, then when Ruirui and the others go on summer vacation, I will take you to Xiangjiang to see him."
"Really?"
Zheng Juan was happy at first, but then she shook her head and said: "Forget it, Xiangjiang is so far away, and I'm a little scared of flying. Forget it, let's wait for the light to come back."
Hearing Zheng Juan talking quietly, Zhou Chen smiled and did not refute. He knew that his wife just wanted to complain.
After eating, Zhou Chen saw Li Suhua wandering into her room, her mind wandering.
"Mom, what's wrong with you today? You don't look in good spirits?"
Li Suhua sighed and said: "I was thinking about your eldest brother. I asked Xiaorong to bring him a message and ask him to come over, but your eldest brother refused to come. It's been two years, why can't he let go?
.”
Since the quarrel during the New Year two years ago, Zhou Bingyi has not visited Zhou Chen's house for more than two years. He went back to Jichun to spend the New Year at Hao's house twice.
During this period, Li Suhua met Zhou Bingyi several times outside, but Zhou Chen and Zhou Bingyi never met once or even made a phone call.
Zhou Chen was also very unhappy when his mother talked about this matter.
"Mom, he is trying to fight with me. It has nothing to do with you."
To be honest, he didn't expect Zhou Bingyi to be so petty. He didn't come to his house for more than two years. He even didn't even see his mother during the Chinese New Year. He only stayed with his parents-in-law.
Zhou Chen knew that Li Suhua must be feeling very uncomfortable. Seeing Li Suhua feeling uncomfortable, he became even more angry with Zhou Bingyi.
Li Suhua wiped her tears and said: "I corresponded with your dad. Your dad said that he has leave next year and will come back to celebrate the New Year with us. Bingkun, do you think we should let your dad come to Yanjing for the New Year, or should we go back together as a family?
Auspicious Spring Festival?"
Zhou Chen said: "I don't care. I can take leave during the New Year. The key depends on what you and my dad think. If you want to spend the New Year in Yanjing, then we will spend the New Year in Yanjing. If you are homesick and want to go back to your hometown,
Then we will accompany you back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year."
Li Suhua was in a dilemma: "You are so promising now, you have bought a house in Yanjing, and you have a decent job. I kind of want your dad to come to Yanjing to see you, but I'm afraid your dad won't want to come."
"That's simple. Just talk to him. My dad may not listen to us, but he is still willing to listen to you."
