Han Chunming and Yang Huajian were sitting together for dinner, discussing this cooperation business.
Suddenly Yang Huajian asked Han Chunming: "Chunming, do we really not want Zhou Chen to participate in this matter? He has strong assets. If he joins, we will definitely make more this time."
He does not object to doing business with Han Chunming because Han Chunming is a reliable person.
But he still thinks Zhou Chen is more reliable, because he has cooperated with Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen is very powerful and is the richest among them.
So he felt that if he brought Zhou Chen with him, it might be safer and he could make more money.
Han Chunming said: "No, he is afraid of trouble and is definitely not willing to go to Qiong Province with us, not to mention that we may have to go for a long time this time."
"Then you can also let him invest some money. I think he will definitely be willing to make money."
"No, you can't tell him. If you tell him, it means that my second sister will definitely know about it. Once my second sister knows, my mother and the others will definitely know about it. No, no."
Han Chunming shook his head repeatedly. If Zhou Chen was not his brother-in-law, he would definitely find a way to bring Zhou Chen with him. But now that Zhou Chen is his brother-in-law, he thinks it is better to be cautious and save his family from worrying.
"That's not true. Zhou Chen should be quite strict with his mouth."
"Just in case, okay, just the two of us are enough this time. At worst, we will make less, so we can take less risks."
This time they were going to Qiong Province to import cars, and he was responsible for paying, finding suppliers, etc.; while Yang Huajian was responsible for handling various procedures, as well as the subsequent sales of the cars, etc.
Yang Huajian thought for a moment and thought this was good. With fewer people, he could make more money. Who doesn't want to make more money?
"That's right, Zhou Chen is very rich now. Even if we tell him, he may not be interested in our business."
"No more nonsense. Let's go back and prepare ourselves. We will set off in a few days."
"Okay, then it's settled."
Zhou Chen didn't know about the actions of Han Chunming and Yang Huajian. He still taught at the university. He took his wife and children out for shopping on weekends. He also took two days every month to visit several stores. He lived a simple and fulfilling life.
.
Having lived in so many worlds and for so many years, he has already passed through that period of confusion. If he is free, he will find something for himself to do so that he will not be too idle.
Han Chunyan is indeed a woman who can take care of the house. She keeps the house clean by herself and takes good care of the children. She even prepares Zhou Chen's daily meals and basically doesn't let Zhou Chen do anything.
At most, Zhou Chen can help take care of the children.
Zhou Chen knew very well that raising children was not easy, so he was very touched by Han Chunyan and tried his best to relieve Han Chunyan's stress. He would take her with him during breaks and drive around to play.
"Zhou Chen, can you contact Xiao Wu?"
During dinner, Han Chunyan suddenly asked Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen asked in surprise: "What happened? He disappeared again?"
"Yes, my mother said that Xiao Wu just told her that he was going out for a trip, and he didn't say when he would come back. It has been almost ten days and there is no news at all, so my mother is quite anxious. Come on.
Ask me if you can contact him."
Zhou Chen frowned slightly: "You also know that this guy doesn't have a BP machine. I couldn't find him even if I tried to find him."
Han Chunming's problem is indeed a big problem. Some things can be hidden, but some things still need to be made clear.
You said that you disappeared casually without leaving any contact information. Can your family not be worried?
Although Su Meng did it, you really can’t blame Su Meng for this matter. For any boyfriend or girlfriend, if the other person disappears for a period of time without telling you the reason, what would you think?
Han Chunyan scolded angrily: "This Xiao Wu is not at all troublesome. He is already in his thirties, and he disappears all day long. It makes people mad."
Zhou Chen advised: "Don't think so much. You also said that he is already in his thirties. He is such an old man and is not a child. He can take care of himself. You also ask the old lady to relax."
Since you can't control your heart, let it go."
It is true that Han Chunming is filial, but sometimes he really does not care about his family.
Han Chunyan sighed: "Fortunately, my mother still has Xiao Xing with her, so she won't be too lonely. I wanted her to come live with us before, but she was unwilling no matter what."
"This is normal. The old lady is used to being the master of the house. She has lived in that courtyard for so many years. If you ask her to leave suddenly and come to our place, she will definitely not be willing."
Zhou Chen himself has been old, so he can sympathize and understands that most old people are not willing to live with children.
It's okay if it's a son, and the old people will think it's natural, but it's different if it's a daughter. I guess not many parents can live with their daughter and son-in-law for the rest of their lives.
"Zhou Chen, Xiaowu has the best relationship with you. If you have time, persuade him that he should know something since our mother is so old."
"Okay, I will tell Chunming when I see him next time."
…………
It's only 1985. Although pagers already exist, the contact method of pagers is far inferior to that of mobile phones. It is still several years before the current mobile phone can enter the country.
So it's not that easy to find someone now. What's more, Han Chunming is obviously rich, but he doesn't even have a BP machine.
Several days passed, and Han Chunming still didn't show up.
Zhou Chen carried two bottles of wine and arrived at the door of Mr. Guan's house. Before he entered, he saw a man standing on the stone pillar at the door.
The people sitting on the stone pier also saw Zhou Chen and suddenly stood up.
"Hello, you are Han Chunming's brother-in-law, right? My name is Li Chengtao, do you still remember me?"
"Remember, Tao Zi from Cha Bar Towers? I went there when it opened, but I heard that Chunming has been kicked out of Cha Bar Towers?"
When Li Chengtao heard Zhou Chen's words, he immediately felt embarrassed. In order to please Cai Xiaoli, he indeed went too far in this matter.
Fortunately, Han Chunming didn't mind. After Cai Xiaoli left, he still helped him make suggestions and found a better Guan Xiaoguan.
"It's not like that. Chunming is still one of the owners of Chabalou. We have reconciled."
Zhou Chen said: "What you do with him has nothing to do with me, but why are you sitting in front of Mr. Guan's house?"
Li Chengtao in the TV series is indeed a very loyal and good brother, but that is to Han Chunming.
However, when facing women, whether it is Cai Xiaoli or Guan Xiaoguan, he always stands beside the woman he likes.
Zhou Chen doesn't have any dislike for him, but he doesn't have much favorable impression either. He is a typical bad boy, which is very similar to Han Chunming.
Li Chengtao smiled awkwardly, but his advantage is that he is not afraid of being criticized.
"Mr. Guan's granddaughter is the manager of my place. I made her angry today, so I came over to ask for her forgiveness. But Mr. Guan wouldn't let me in, so I had to wait outside."
"Guan Xiaoguan?"
"Yes, it's Guan Xiaoguan. You should be very familiar with Guan Xiaoguan and Mr. Guan. Can you please help me?" Li Chengtao looked at Zhou Chen hopefully.
Zhou Chen said: "I don't have any friendship with Guan Xiaoguan. She may not be able to help you. As for Mr. Guan, I'll go in first to see the situation."
"Thank you then." Li Chengtao bowed down with his hands in hand, his face full of gratitude.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything else and walked directly into the small courtyard. As soon as he reached the door, he heard angry comments coming from inside.
"Who asked you to come in? Get out."
Zhou Chen chuckled and walked into the house. He saw Mr. Guan sitting there angrily without saying a word. Guan Xiaoguan sat next to him to please him. When he saw Zhou Chen come in, he immediately regained his calm and indifferent expression.
.
"Hey, old man, who made you angry? You are so angry."
Only then did Mr. Guan see that the person coming in was Zhou Chen. He thought it was Li Chengtao.
When he saw Zhou Chen, his stern expression finally softened a little.
"Why are you here, kid?"
Zhou Chen walked over and before he could say anything, Mr. Guan suddenly shouted at Guan Xiaoguan: "Why don't you get up and give up your seat?"
Guan Xiaoguan was about to retort, but when he saw his grandfather's expression, he took a breath and stood up obediently.
Zhou Chen was not polite, sat down, and put the two bottles of wine on the table.
"No, I heard that Han Chunming disappeared for more than ten days without any trace. I was worried that you were out of wine, so I sent you two bottles."
Mr. Guan smiled: "You are much more reliable than your brother-in-law. That brat is running around, and I don't know where he is."
"He ran out to engage in smuggling." Guan Xiaoguan suddenly interrupted.
"Going into smuggling?"
Zhou Chen was a little surprised, because he really didn't know about this matter, and Han Chunming never mentioned it in front of him.
Guan Xiao's concern is also filled with anger, and now he has a chance to vent his anger.
"Yes, he is engaged in smuggling. This is a crooked way. Moreover, he also received 200,000 yuan from Chabalou. I didn't want him to waste the money from Chabalou, so I quarreled with Taozi.
stand up."
After listening to what Guan Xiaoguan said, Zhou Chen finally understood the cause and effect. During this period, Han Chunming should go into the car business, and then take money from the tea shop, which angered Guan Xiaoguan and caused an argument between Guan Xiaoguan and Li Chengtao.
had a quarrel.
It seems that there is indeed such a plot in the TV series, but he can't remember the details clearly.
"No wonder I just met Li Chengtao outside and he asked me to intercede for him,"
Guan Xiaoguan said coldly: "He deserves it. It's useless for anyone to plead for mercy."
Zhou Chen ignored the domineering Guan Xiaoguan, but looked at Mr. Guan.
Mr. Guan didn't see his granddaughter, but asked Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, what do you think about this matter?"
Zhou Chen said: "This kid Han Chunming, although sometimes he is a fool, he is still relatively stable in business. Although his approach is not fair enough, he will not do anything that he is not sure about. I don't think this is a big problem.
.”
Guan Xiaoguan rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "Han Chunming is your brother-in-law, so of course you speak to him."
Mr. Guan said angrily: "You don't understand anything at all. Your level is far from Chunming. Zhou Chen is right. Chunming is more prudent than you in doing things. To say the least, even if Chunming loses all his money, you
It shouldn’t be stopped.”
Guan Xiaoguan looked unconvinced: "Why, Grandpa, we earned the money for the tea shop table by table, why should Han Chunming waste it?"
Mr. Guan looked disappointed and pointed at the cabinet: "Go and open the top drawer on the right."
Guan Xiaoguan looked unruly: "I don't want to take action."
Mr. Guan also said the same: "I don't want to take action either, Zhou Chen, don't do it either, let's just waste it like this."
Zhou Chen had a wry smile on his face. These two men are quite interesting. He never thought of taking action. You two are fighting for yours. I can just watch mine.
In the end, Guan Xiaoguan couldn't bear it anymore, sighed, and went to take out things from the drawer.
"open to take a look."
Guan Xiaoguan reluctantly opened the file bag, and immediately saw that it was a share transfer agreement, an agreement in which Han Chunming transferred the equity of Chabo Building to her, which made her expression suddenly change.
At this time, Mr. Guan spoke: "Are you wrong?"
Guan Xiaoguan's expression kept changing, and finally he apologized: "I was wrong."
"What should I do if I make a mistake?"
"Then I won't go back either." Guan Xiaoguan threw the agreement on the table.
Mr. Guan said: "You don't have the face to go back, right? Look at what Chunming is doing. In order to achieve your career and fulfill my wish, I didn't even ask for a single share of the tea house and gave it all to you. What kind of state is this? Look again
Look at you."
Guan Xiaoguan was still dissatisfied: "I didn't ask for the shares. Even so, I won't go back."
Mr. Guan turned to look at Zhou Chen: "Boy, what do you think?"
Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "This is your business. I'm an outsider, so I won't interfere."
"If you are asked to speak, just speak. There is so much nonsense."
Seeing that Mr. Guan would not let him go, Zhou Chen could only express his thoughts.
"As far as I'm concerned, they all have problems."
"How to say?"
Mr. Guan and Guan Xiaoguan both showed surprised expressions. They thought Zhou Chen would speak for Han Chunming, but they didn't expect Zhou Chen to say this.
"Old man, you are speaking for Chunming from the perspective of friendship. Chunming has feelings and righteousness. If it weren't for him, the Chabalou would not be able to open. From this point of view, it is reasonable for him to move some money from the Chabalou.
according to."
"But there's nothing wrong with Xiaoguan's idea. In business, it's not just about human relations and morality, but rules are equally important. If everyone doesn't do things according to the rules, you will get two hundred thousand from the store today, and I will get two hundred thousand from the store tomorrow.
One hundred thousand, this restaurant will go bankrupt sooner or later."
"Yes, that's right, that's the truth. Grandpa, you heard it too. It's not my fault."
Before Zhou Chen finished speaking, Guan Xiaoguan looked at her grandfather arrogantly. Although she was very surprised that Zhou Chen spoke for her, she couldn't care less now.
Mr. Guan glared at Zhou Chen dissatisfied: "Rules are dead, people are alive, and rules are made by people."
"If there are no rules, there will be no rules." Zhou Chen replied calmly.
This made Mr. Guan very angry. He pointed at Zhou Chen and said, "Whose side are you on?"
Zhou Chen said: "You two didn't even wait for me to finish what I said, so you rushed to argue with me with a white face."
"You say it, go on."
Zhou Chen continued: "According to me, you should have come up with this share transfer agreement as soon as possible, so that things wouldn't be as bad as they are now. I think Chunming's half-spoken problem must have been inherited from you. When things happen,
If you don’t open up and say it, isn’t this just looking for a misunderstanding?”
"Hey, you kid actually dares to teach me a lesson?"
Mr. Guan became anxious, pointed at Zhou Chen, and scolded him dissatisfied.
Zhou Chen didn't care: "This is not a lesson, it's just telling the truth. I think you should settle the matter with your granddaughter quickly, send them away, and let us two have a good drink."
Mr. Guan was still a little dissatisfied, but he did not quarrel with Zhou Chen anymore, and went to resolve the matter between Guan Xiaoguan and Li Chengtao.
After a while, Mr. Guan sent Guan Xiaoguan and Li Chengtao away, and then sat down next to Zhou Chen again.
"You kid still dare to laugh at your grandpa, the nine-door admiral, how courageous are you?"
"No, I just saw you two arguing and found it quite interesting."
"When your son grows up, you will understand this feeling."
Zhou Chen smiled and didn't answer. He was a grandfather who had done it many times and was much more experienced than Mr. Guan.
"Here, let me pour some wine for your admiral grandpa. Your good mood has been ruined."
"It's okay, just drink two glasses of wine and you'll be fine."
Zhou Chen opened the wine bottle cap, poured a glass for Mr. Guan, and then poured another glass for himself.
"Old man, I think there is something going on between your granddaughter and that Li Chengtao. Don't you have any ideas in your mind?"
Mr. Guan picked up the wine glass and sniffed it happily: "My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I'm old and can't care about that much anymore."
"hehe."
Zhou Chen sneered. This is because Li Chengtao is easy to bully, so you have no objection. If it were a strong man, you would have become anxious.
"Come, old man, have a drink."
"Dry."
Mr. Guan finished it in one go, then closed his eyes to reflect, and then opened his eyes after a while.
"I have to say, you know a lot more about wine than that brat in Chunming. The wine you bring every time is good, unlike that brat who fools me every time by buying two bottles of wine for one or two yuan at the canteen."
