Chapter 624: Zhou’s father, whose child is sick, starts work
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Chen has been staying in Pengcheng for three months.
Although the time was not short, he was actually not too busy, because many things did not require him to do it himself. Naturally, there were people to help him with things. His stay in Pengcheng was more of a Dinghai Shenzhen.
And to be honest, now that he is investing in the Mainland, he has no expectation of making much money. If he really wants to make money, he can go to Xiangjiang or abroad, where there are plenty of opportunities to make money.
Financial markets, technology companies, etc. With his experience and experience, it is really not difficult to make money if he has funds on hand.
No matter how bad it is, even if you invest in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, you can still make a lot of money at this time, so why bother to go to the country to make money.
The reason why he invests in China is mainly to enhance his reputation and promote the country's economic development, and also for his own family. After all, his current family members are all in China, and he has the right to speak in China, and he has the right to speak to his family.
is beneficial.
Just like when he went to Jichun to invest and pretended to be a snake with those leaders, it was mostly for the Zhou family's parents and children, and he really didn't expect to make much money.
Because he is still planning to live in this world for decades and accompany his wife and children, something invisible and intangible like reputation and prestige is still very important.
In three months, everyone who should be busy has been busy, and Zhou Chen is not ready to stay in Pengcheng.
"Guangming, from now on, the things here will be left to you."
When Zheng Guangming heard Zhou Chen's words, he immediately responded: "Brother Bingkun, I understand. It's no problem to leave it to me."
After staying in Pengcheng for more than half a year, he gradually got used to the life here. When he was in Xiangjiang, he was the one who helped Zhou Chen manage the company.
Now that he has arrived in Pengcheng, Zhou Chen has helped him get almost everything done in the early stage. If he still can't handle it, all those years of being the general manager will be in vain.
"Guangming, if one day you no longer want to be the general manager, just tell me and I won't blame you."
In fact, according to Zhou Chen's opinion, there is not much problem in letting Zheng Guangming manage Chenxing Group, because in less than ten years, his son Zhou Rui will grow up and will be able to take over.
But Zheng Juan told him that she didn't want her brother to do things he didn't like, and if Zheng Guangming didn't want to, she hoped Zhou Chen wouldn't force him.
Zhou Chen understood what Zheng Juan meant. On the one hand, he felt sorry for his younger brother, but on the other hand, he was afraid that a company as big as Chenxing Group would cause discord between them, so he wanted to let his younger brother Zheng Guangming leave as soon as possible.
But now Zhou Chen can't find anyone he can trust except Zheng Guangming. Zheng Juan is trustworthy, but Zheng Juan can't manage the company at all.
The best way is to find a professional manager, but in this case, he will have to worry about a lot.
Zheng Guangming didn't expect Zhou Chen to say such words, but he quickly reacted.
"Brother Bingkun, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I think I can still do it."
If he hadn't been exposed to the life of a master, he wouldn't be reluctant to leave. However, he has been living in a privileged environment these years. He has been in a high position for a long time, and it is not easy to leave.
"Okay, you make your own decision."
Zhou Chen patted Zheng Guangming's shoulder and said nothing more.
A few days later, Zhou Chen returned to Jichun.
As soon as he came back, the Zhou family became lively again, and Zheng Juan and her three children were the happiest among them.
They had been affectionate with Zheng Juan for a long time last night, and today was a day off for the children, so in the morning, the two of them still didn't want to get up.
It's just that sometimes they can't afford to get up if they don't want to. The quarrels downstairs soon make it impossible for them to sleep.
"Why is it steamed buns again this morning? Can't we make something else?"
"What's wrong with steamed buns? We couldn't eat steamed buns before. They were all made from whole grains. Why don't you come here? Now you have white flour steamed buns every day. What else do you want?"
"Then you can't eat it every day."
"Children can eat it, why can't you? Besides, how old are you? With your teeth, what good food can you eat?"
"After all, why are you talking about this? No matter how old I am, I am only over sixty. Sixty is not old at all. Nowadays, people can live to be seventy or eighty years old. I still have at least ten years left.
If you can live for years, why can’t you eat something good?”
"Why are you shouting so hard? You just want to eat a steamed bun. Look at your red face and thick neck. The children have been woken up by you."
"Hey, you old woman, it's obviously your fault, why are you blaming me now?"
"Old man, you are being unreasonable. I get up early every day to cook for you, but you..."
"…………"
Listening to the argument between the old couple downstairs, Zhou Chen asked Zheng Juan speechlessly: "Juan'er, are they usually like this at home?"
Zheng Juan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "It wasn't like this at the beginning, but in the past month, our dad always complained. Our mom didn't care about him at the beginning, but then she couldn't help it anymore, so she changed
It has become like this, but after all, they are not angry at all."
"As long as you don't get red-eyed, just make a little noise if you want."
Knowing that he was not really angry, Zhou Chen no longer worried.
Zheng Juan said: "Our mother said that our father became like this because he had just retired, suddenly had nothing to do, and was unhappy. Bingkun, how about you advise our father?"
Zhou Chen said: "This kind of thing cannot be explained in a few words. You have to let him go through this process."
After working hard all his life, he suddenly retired and had nothing to do. Zhou Zhigang felt uncomfortable.
This is just like the movie he watched, The Shawshank Redemption, in which the prisoners were unable to adapt after being released because they had been in prison for too long.
Some people choose to commit suicide, some people commit crimes again in order to return to the prison they are accustomed to, and some people...
In short, when something becomes a habit, it will be really difficult to change it.
And Zhou Zhigang just regarded work as a habit. It was fine when he first retired, but as time went by, he couldn't control it and started to find troubles in various ways.
This can also be regarded as a type of mental illness.
Zheng Juan said: "But I found that when Uncle Ma came, our dad was better. They seemed to be able to chat very well. These days, he talks more to Uncle Ma than to us combined. Recently, even Yue
Yue and the others no longer dare to talk to him, for fear of making him angry."
Zhou Chen thought about it carefully and felt that if it continued like this, there was no solution. Soon, an idea came to his mind.
"Okay, I understand, leave this to me."
During lunch, Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua were already fine again, as if the quarrel in the morning had never happened.
Zhou Zhigang took a sip of wine, and then asked Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, it's been a few days since you came back. I see that you haven't done anything these days. In a company as big as yours, don't you have anything to be busy with?"
He really couldn't understand that when he worked in the past, he was just a worker and was already very busy. But as Zhou Chen, as the boss, he should be very busy, so why did he seem to have nothing to do all day long.
Zhou Chen was speechless. This old man had nothing to do and was irritated. Why did he get involved with him?
"It's not that I'm not busy, but it's not that busy yet. Besides, I'm the boss. I don't need to do many things myself. I can just leave it to the people below. I mainly control the direction."
Zhou Zhigang: "I don't know what a boss should do. I just know that work must look like work. Don't just wander around like you have nothing to do all day long."
Hey, this old man.
"Dad, I heard that you have been quarreling with my mother lately?"
"I didn't quarrel with your mother, it was your mother who didn't like me..."
"What are you talking about? When did I dislike you? It's because you are too idle and always looking for trouble. Kun'er, let me tell you, your dad is just idle. He didn't feel anything bad when he was not at home before.
, I don’t know what’s going on now, but my temper has become so bad, and I won’t let anyone talk about it.”
Li Suhua complained more than Zhou Zhigang. In the past ten years, she was at the level of the Queen Mother at home, and the whole family would give in to her and listen to her.
But as soon as Zhou Zhi came back, he would quarrel with her, which made her feel bad.
When Zhou Chen heard this, he asked tentatively: "Mom, how about finding something for him to do?"
When Zhou Zhigang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, while Li Suhua frowned and said: "You want to find something for him to do? But he is so old and has worked for most of his life. Now is the time to enjoy happiness. How can he have the energy to go there?"
Working?"
When Zhou Zhigang saw his wife trying to make trouble, he immediately said angrily: "I told you, I'm not old yet, I'm very strong, why can't I work? Kun'er, don't listen to your mother's nonsense, you are such a big boss, you can definitely give it to me
To do something, tell me, what do you want your dad to do?"
Zhou Chen did not answer, but continued to look at Li Suhua: "Mom, what do you think?"
Of course Li Suhua didn't want Zhou Zhigang to go to work again, but when she saw Zhou Zhigang's 'threatening' look, she found it funny.
Finally, she sighed softly and said: "Since your dad can't sit still at home, then you can find a job for him. However, your dad is so old and you can't let him do hard work anymore. You can give him something to do."
Get an office job."
She didn't know how big her youngest son's company was, but she thought it would be easy to arrange an office job for Zhou Zhigang.
Who knows that Zhou Zhigang is anxious: "I won't sit in the office, Bingkun, don't listen to your mother, he doesn't understand anything, I am a construction worker, how can any construction worker sit in the office?"
"Dad, what you said is wrong. There are too many construction workers sitting in offices."
"That's someone else. Anyway, I don't go to the office."
Looking at Zhou Zhigang with a reluctant look on his face, Zhou Chen was even more speechless. He was such a cool person before, but now that he is old, why has he become such a rogue?
"Didn't I have contact with the city leaders before? I bought a piece of land from the city. When I came back this time, I planned to use this land and build a pharmaceutical factory to produce medicines. This matter has been put on the agenda.
, just waiting for work to start.”
"Dad, I remember you are an eighth-level construction worker, right?"
Zhou Zhigang replied happily: "Yes, I am an eighth-level construction worker. Do you want me to help you build a factory?"
"How can that be possible? You are my father, the father of the boss. How can I let you start working? I mean, let you go to the construction site to look at it, check the drawings, and supervise the construction site. If there is any problem,
If so, help correct it in time; there are not many skilled construction workers like you now, and there are too many cheaters. This time it is your son. I am paying to build a factory. I must find someone who knows the job and can be trusted absolutely.
I looked at it, so I thought of you."
Zhou Chen half-truthfully told Zhou Zhigang that it was not difficult to find someone to supervise him, and doing so only gave Zhou Zhigang an excuse.
Sure enough, when Zhou Zhigang heard this, he immediately beamed: "Bingkun, you have a good eye. I dare not say anything else. Your father and I are definitely experts in architecture. If you want to deceive my eyes, you will definitely not do it."
If possible, leave this matter to me."
Li Suhua was a little hesitant at first, but when she heard it was related to her son, she immediately changed her attitude.
"Kun'er, I also think you are right. Your father will definitely be more reliable than outsiders when it comes to your company's affairs. I agree with this."
"Ha ha."
Zhou Zhigang laughed loudly and proudly: "Did you see that? Damn it, are you still calling me old?"
"Okay, don't be complacent. This is our son's business. You have to be careful and don't let your son's money go to waste."
"Of course, I'm here to ensure that no one can fool us."
Seeing the old couple rolling up their sleeves and preparing for a big fight, Zhou Chen was speechless. That was not his intention.
But seeing the happy appearance of the old couple, he couldn't say anything.
In the afternoon, Zhou Chen called Shui Ziliu and asked him to notify Sun Qunchao to come, and then waited for Sun Qunchao at home.
Because Sun Qianchao didn't dare to drive, he had been working at Shui Ziliu some time ago. Although the salary was not high, the work was not heavy either. At least it was many times easier than when he took the job before.
Two hours later, Sun Ganchao hurried over. Zhou Chen asked Zheng Juan to make two cups of tea, and then he and Sun Ganchao chatted about business in the study.
"Ji Chao, I called you here to tell you that what I told you before is ready to start. You will leave from Shui Ziliu tomorrow. I have already told Shui Ziliu."
Sun Qunchao was immediately overjoyed. Although he had been doing well at Shuiziliu in the past few months, he still wanted to work with Zhou Chen.
Now I hear Zhou Chen say that he is ready to start work, which means that he will have a formal job soon.
"Kun'er, what exactly is that job you mentioned?"
"Didn't I tell you before that our company is planning to build a factory, and this time we are planning to build a factory and a building."
Sun Qianchao looked confused: "But I don't understand this either, but if I work hard, I'll be fine."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "With our relationship, how can I ask you to do hard work? I plan to ask you to help me look at the construction site. You are to be a supervisor responsible for checking the construction site. Specifically, when the time comes, you will follow
My dad will study later and he will teach you."
"My uncle also wants to work there? Isn't he retired?"
Sun Qunchao was shocked when he heard that Zhou Chen's father was there.
Zhou Chen explained: "My dad had nothing to do at home, so I tried to find a job for him and asked him to help at the construction site. He is an old construction worker, so there must be no problem in this regard, so I
I want you to go to my dad's place to study. Even if you work on a construction site, you still need to learn some skills."
"It's definitely no problem, Kun'er. You can rest assured that I will learn from you seriously."
Sun Qianchao patted his chest and assured that Zhou Zhigang was his uncle. If he was with others, he would be a little at a loss, but following Zhou Zhigang, he felt no pressure at all.
"Then it's settled."
Zhou Chen guessed that Sun Qianchao had this reaction, so naturally he wasn't surprised, but he just mentioned another thing.
"Catch up, I heard that your wife Yu Hong hasn't found a job yet?"
Sun Qianchao didn't think too much, and said truthfully: "Yes, I used to work in public baths, but now the public baths are privatized, their boss disliked Yu Hong's age, so he opened them. Although Qiao Chunyan is now
She was the vice president there, but she didn't have much power. She kept saying she wanted to get Yu Hong in, but she never succeeded."
Zhou Chen said: "If our company's construction site opens, we will definitely need people to cook on the construction site. It will be hard work, but the salary will not be low. You can go back and ask Yu Hong to see if she is interested in cooking on the construction site.
.”
"That must be no problem."
Sun Qianchao's face was full of eagerness and he couldn't wait to answer.
"It's really no problem? You'd better go back and discuss it with your wife. After all, the construction site is full of rough guys, and cooking a big pot of rice is hard work."
Strictly speaking, cooking at a construction site is not a decent job, but Zhou Chen is not a saint. He found a good job for Qianchao and an easy one for Yu Hong. What will he do if others find him again?
