"Bingkun, I know very well that the reason why Chief Ma and others are willing to help me must be because of your face. If they didn't know about our relationship, they would definitely not be so interested."
Gong Weize is also a smart man, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the director so quickly. He knew that he was influenced by Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen, however, did not take credit: "Uncle Gong, Uncle Ma and others are willing to help you because you are fair and just and have a clear conscience. This has nothing to do with me directly."
No matter what Gong Weize has become in the plot, in terms of his work in the past few years, although he has some irregularities, he is definitely a good person, and he sincerely serves the people, and he is a qualified film police officer.
"Uncle Gong, come on, sit down and talk."
Xiao Guoqing asked Gong Weize to sit down, and then told Wu Qian: "Wu Qian, go and pour a cup of tea for little Uncle Gong."
Wu Qian muttered a few words, but still obeyed Xiao Guoqing's words and went to pour tea for Gong Weize.
Gong Weize's identity is different now. He is the director of the police station. Looking at the photos, he is also the most capable one besides the Zhou family.
Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian knew very well that the reason why Gong Weize came to visit them was entirely because of Zhou Chen, otherwise he would not have visited them once after they moved for so long.
Gong Wei sat next to Zhou Chen and asked harmoniously: "Bingkun, I heard that you have moved back to Jichun, and are you planning to develop in Jichun next?"
Not knowing the details, he was actually very puzzled. In his opinion, Zhou Chen was doing so well in the capital and even bought a house, so why did he return to a small place like Jichun?
"Yes, our family will stay in Jichun from now on. If I have anything to ask of you, you can't pretend that you don't know us, little Uncle Gong."
Zhou Chen said to Gong Weize with a somewhat joking tone.
Gong Weize's face straightened up and he said loudly: "Bingkun, judging from what you said, even if I don't help others, I will definitely put your family's affairs first."
He is just the director of a police station now. Zhou Chen has not pursued an official career, but Zhou Bingyi is a provincial cadre and a big shot at the deputy department level. Even if he is directed at Zhou Bingyi, he will definitely curry favor with the Zhou family.
With Gong Weize joining, Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian no longer had any disputes. After chatting for a while, Gong Weize said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, he also invited Zhou Chen to be a guest at his place, but Zhou Chen refused.
As soon as Gong Weize left, the atmosphere became a little more lively.
Sun Qianchao said with some disdain: "Kun'er, you have been staying in Yanjing and don't understand the situation at home. Let me tell you, our little uncle Gong is doing great things now. Since he became the director
, he has completely lost his previous attitude, and he no longer cares about our neighbor of Guangzipian. In short, in one sentence, he has changed too much."
Xiao Guoqing didn't say anything. He often traveled in sports cars and didn't know much about this aspect. What's more, they had moved away from the optical film in the past two years.
It's not surprising to Zhou Chen. People are fickle. As their status changes, their mentality will naturally change.
It cannot be said that Gong Weize's changes like this are all his fault. After all, he is in a higher position now. If it is still the same as before, and everyone can ask him for a few words and help, then should he still do things?
Not everyone has that kind of consciousness.
"You're celebrating the Chinese New Year, why are you talking about these unhappy things? Talk about something happy."
Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan stayed until the evening. After the driver arrived, they left Xiao Guoqing's house.
Although the Spring Festival was lively, time passed quickly. In the next few days, Zhou Chen and his family went to Lao Ma's house again, visited Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen, and stayed at their house for the whole day.
As for the schools for Zhou Rui and his three children, Zhou Chen has already made preparations to send them to the best school in Jichun.
While Sun Qianchao was there, Zhou Chen had another meal with Shui Ziliu. After discussing the matter, Shui Ziliu agreed without saying a word.
"Mr. Shui, there is one more thing. I may have a big investment in Jichun in the second half of the year, and I may use your logistics company by then."
When Shui Ziliu heard Zhou Chen's words, he didn't hesitate at all and replied directly: "That's no problem. I will give you as many people as you want."
He now has more than a hundred people working with him, so he is very confident.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Friendship is friendship, and business is business. What I want to do is a big project. I can do whatever I want to do. We will discuss the specific matters when the time comes."
Whether you are building a factory or building a building, you need a logistics company. When it comes to hiring people, you should naturally use them who are familiar with them and not raw ones.
Seeing Zhou Chen say this, Shui Ziliu didn't insist anymore: "Then I'll wait for your news."
He hadn't seen Zhou Chen for a long time, but he didn't dare to underestimate Zhou Chen at all. Not to mention anything else, the Mercedes-Benz that Zhou Chen was riding in when he first arrived was worth a lot of money.
You must know that he is now a pretty big boss and has a reputation in Jichun. But even so, his car is just an ordinary car, which cannot be compared with the Daben that Zhou Chen rides.

"Juan'er, why are you collecting so many things? You can buy these in Pengcheng."
Because she was going to Pengcheng tomorrow, that night, Zheng Juan packed so many things for Zhou Chen and prepared for him to take them to Pengcheng.
Zheng Juan's eyes were slightly red: "Didn't you say that you may have to stay for a while when going to Pengcheng this time. These are necessary things. You can buy them outside, but they are definitely not as useful as those at home."
Zhou Chen pulled Zheng Juan over and held her tightly: "I'm sorry, Juan'er, I originally said I would spend more time with you, but now I've broken my promise."
Zheng Juan wiped her tears and shook her head: "It doesn't matter to me. You have to do something important. Guangming must be too busy to let you go."
Although Zheng Guangming has controlled Chenxing Group in Xiangjiang for several years, the domestic situation is still very different from that in Xiangjiang. Sometimes doing business does not rely on money. Doing business in China is more complicated than in Xiangjiang, so Zheng Guangming does not dare to
He made the decision privately and asked Zhou Chen to rush over as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, I will take care of things as soon as possible and then come back to be with you."
"You don't have to worry about me, just do your thing."
The next day, when Zhou Chen left, all three children had gone to school, and only his parents and Zheng Juan saw him off.
After saying goodbye to Zheng Juan, Zhou Chen said to his father Zhou Zhigang: "Dad, after I leave, you will always have to worry about the family affairs, and the children. Juaner may not be able to control them, and you will always have to take care of them personally.
That’s fine, don’t let them make too much noise.”
Zhou Zhigang said impatiently: "I am your father, and I still need you to give me instructions? You go and do your business quickly. You don't have to worry about things at home."
Parting was imminent, and Zhou Chen didn't care about Zhou Zhigang's tone.
"One more thing. Uncle Ma and Aunt Qu come here a lot recently. They are very pitiful. If Ruirui and Congcong are on vacation and they want to take over, don't stop them and let them have more contact.
, they are all capable people, and children can learn a lot from them."
Zhou Chen knows the character of Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen, so he is very willing to let his children come into contact with them. Many of the qualities of these two old people are worth learning from the younger generations.
Because Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen have been here several times recently, Zhou Zhigang and the others are also familiar with them. They know that the old couple used to be fighting heroes, but now they have become lonely old people.
He also fully agreed with what Zhou Chen said.
"Lao Ma is indeed a capable person. Okay, I understand."
"Then, Dad, I'm leaving."
Zhou Chen said goodbye to his parents and Zheng Juan again, got in the car and left.
More than ten days later, Zhou Chen and Yao Lisong were sitting in a booth at a lively dance hall in Pengcheng, drinking together.
"Bingkun, how is this store? It's lively, right? This is the largest dance hall in Pengcheng, with the largest flow of people. Look, you haven't seen all kinds of beauties in Jichun, have you?"
Yao Lisong pointed at the exposed women on the dance floor with a lewd smile on his face.
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes at him: "Old Yao, is this your vision? In this day and age, how many women from good families can come here?"
Yao Lisong laughed and said, "Bingkun, don't you understand this? Just because we are not women from a good family, there is no pressure to play together. If you really go to a good family, you may be in big trouble."
"Hey, Lao Yao, didn't you see that you are quite experienced?"
Zhou Chen did not refute, because what Yao Lisong said made some sense.
"But I also advise you that you'd better have less contact with these women. Who knows if there is anything wrong with them. Don't contract any disease just for the sake of temporary pleasure, which will really ruin your life."
Zhou Chen is not afraid of those infectious diseases, but he really has no interest in these women. It's not that he is so noble, but that even if he needs them, he can't find these women.
Yao Lisong smiled and said: "That's right. You are not an ordinary person now. It is normal to look down on these women. Do you want me to introduce you to some better ones?"
"Don't."
Zhou Chen stretched out his hand to stop her: "Don't say this again. I have a very good relationship with my wife. I don't have such thoughts. I'm more interested in making money than this."
"Haha, I agree with this, and I am more interested in making money." Yao Lisong gave two thumbs up in agreement.
Zhou Chen picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Yao Lisong: "I really want to thank you these days. If it weren't for your help, I would have really put in a lot of effort."
Yao Lisong drank the wine in one gulp: "That is, what is our relationship? If you say these words, it will be revealed. Now that the factory land has been secured and the procedures for the pharmaceutical factory have been completed, are you going to start work next?"
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, I can start at any time. Building a new factory is not complicated for me. Next, I want to continue to buy land, but this time it is not to build a factory, but to build a new factory."
building."
"Is this the real estate you were talking about?"
Yao Lisong sat upright and his expression became very serious.
"Yes, but the building I want to build is different from the one now. I want to build a high-end community that is not available in Pengcheng now, with the most advanced design, the most luxurious house, the most complete property, etc."
"Can high-end communities make money? Even if Pengcheng is developing well now, not everyone is willing to spend money to buy a house in a high-end community."
Yao Lisong has been in Pengcheng for many years. Over the years, he has seen countless nouveau riche, but compared to the population base of Pengcheng, these people are still too few.
Zhou Chen smiled confidently and said: "I have experience in this area. Since I dare to invest, I will definitely make some money. I can handle the follow-up matters, but I still need your help with the land."
While talking, Zhou Chen took out a long box from his arms and gently pushed it in front of Yao Lisong.
"This is?" Yao Lisong looked at Zhou Chen doubtfully.
Zhou Chen stretched out his hand and said, "Open it and take a look."
Yao Lisong opened the box, and the next second, his expression changed immediately, because there was a check in the box.
"This is a Swiss bank cashier's check, payable at sight unconditionally."
Yao Lisong is also a knowledgeable person. As soon as Zhou Chen said it, he understood. It was just the number on the check that made his heart beat violently.
One million, a full million.
In today's China, households with ten thousand yuan are not out of date, and households with ten thousand yuan represent wealth. Even though he is the chairman of Shangneng Group, his own assets are still not much. To him, one million yuan,
It is definitely a huge fortune.
Zhou Chen saw the change in Yao Lisong's expression and continued calmly: "Old Yao, we are so familiar with each other, so I will tell you some things directly. As long as we continue to cooperate in the future, I can promise you,
This check is just the beginning."
Hearing this, Yao Lisong couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He didn't doubt Zhou Chen's words because he knew Zhou Chen had this strength. What he was worried about was what Zhou Chen would ask him to do.
As if seeing Yao Lisong's worries, Zhou Chen continued: "Old Yao, don't worry, I will definitely not let you do anything illegal or disciplinary. I want your help to be legal and compliant.
If we can shorten the review process as quickly as possible, to me, time is money.”
"time is money?"
Yao Lisong chewed on these words. After more than ten seconds, he closed the long box and put it into his arms.
Picking up the wine glass, Yao Lisong faced Zhou Chen with a cheerful face: "Bingkun, come here, cheers."
"cheers."
Zhou Chen also smiled. Sometimes business is like this. A simple drink can eliminate many tedious processes.
Of course, such a situation will not suit everyone, but greedy people like Yao Lisong are very suitable for this method.
"Lao Yao, brother can give you a thorough explanation. As long as you trust me, brother, I can guarantee you that there will be many opportunities to make money in the future."
Yao Lisong showed a hearty smile. He was very happy when Zhou Chen said this. Why did he do so much? It was not just to make money.
Instead of taking huge risks and embezzling your own company's money, it is better to follow Zhou Chen and make money from such middlemen.
As for Zhou Chen being so loud and not even respecting him much, he doesn't care at all. As long as Zhou Chen can make money for him, what if he lowers his attitude?
In the past, when he was in the army or working in the city, he would often flatter his leaders. This was not a shameful thing, but now he was a different person.
"Bingkun, my good life in the future will depend on you, brother."
Zhou Chen was very satisfied with Yao Lisong's attitude. He was not afraid of Yao Lisong's greed, but he was afraid that Yao Lisong would not be able to distinguish priorities and would turn around and point fingers at him.
But fortunately, this situation did not happen, otherwise, he would have to consider changing his partner.
In today's Pengcheng, it is not difficult to find a suitable and capable partner.
Zhou Chen suddenly asked: "Old Yao, I heard that my sister-in-law seems to have no job and is dedicated to taking care of the children at home, right?"
Yao Lisong asked in confusion: "Bingkun, why do you care about my personal affairs?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "I am not celebrating the New Year. I heard my elder brother mentioned it later, so I remembered it in my heart. Lao Yao, do you think this will work? Go back and tell your sister-in-law to come to my place.
At work, I will arrange a manager position for her."
Yao Lisong's eyes lit up: "Bingkun, what do you mean?"
"Yes, it means exactly what you think."
"Okay, since you are so willing, then what room do I have to refuse? It's settled."
