Chapter 780 Chen Jinshui reprimanded Zhou Chen and visited the Malu Department Store
Once Chen Daguang left, the only ones left were his own family members.
However, this family is really a bit strange. Three of the four people are named Chen, and only Zhou Chen is named Zhou, but he is indeed related to Chen Jinshui and Qiao Gu.
Although Chen Jianghe's surname is Chen, in fact, he has no blood relationship with anyone and is just an adopted son of the Chen family.
But no matter what, they are now a family, they all have each other in their hearts, and they are true relatives.
Qiaogu and Chen Jianghe took Zhou Chen to clean the room, while Chen Erli went to pack the food for the evening. Chen Jinshui had something to do in the afternoon, so after seeing Zhou Chen, he hurried back to the town government to work.
Even though Qiao Gu is less than twenty years old, in fact, Chen Jinshui is quite old. He is nearly fifty this year. But even so, he is still very enterprising and spends more time working than at home.
Much more.
"Brother, this room will be yours from now on. My dad attaches great importance to your room. It has been prepared a long time ago and is waiting for you to come back to live in it."
Qiao Gu was making Zhou Chen's bed while talking to Zhou Chen.
"Our new house cost a lot of money and uses the best materials. It has five rooms in total, one for my parents, one for me, one for you, and one for my brother."
Chen Jianghe said: "Second brother, my room is next to you."
"Brother, I'm right next to you." Qiao Gu also said.
Although she grew up with Chen Jianghe and had a deep relationship, she also had a very good relationship with Zhou Chen. Especially Zhou Chen has always been a particularly remarkable person in her eyes, whether it is his handsome appearance or temperament.
His skills were just like the Prince Charming in her dream.
Therefore, she has a pure brother-sister relationship with Chen Jianghe, and apart from the brother-sister relationship with Zhou Chen, she also has a particularly strong admiration for him.
Zhou Chen patted Qiaogu's head lovingly, and then said to Chen Jianghe: "Jianghe, go get my bag, I brought you a gift."
When Qiaogu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother, did you bring me a gift again?"
Three years ago, when Zhou Chen came back from the capital, he brought her a lot of things, all of which were trendy and could not be bought in a small place like Yiwu.
She has only worn those new clothes and bags a few times, but every time she puts them on, she becomes the focus of the whole village. When she goes to the town or county seat, she is also the focus.
Chen Jianghe was very obedient and went over to take the bag. Zhou Chen opened the bag and started taking things from inside.
"Come on, Qiaogu, this is your watch, silk scarf... Jianghe, this is yours, it's also the watch, and this suit is specially made for you. You can wear it if you go out to discuss business in the future.
.”
When Chen Jianghe heard that he still had his own, he immediately shied away: "Second brother, why did you buy these things for me? I don't have any use for them, especially this suit. You can wear it, but it looks weird on me."
No, I don’t want it.”
Zhou Chen forced it into his hand: "If I give it to you, just take it. If you don't need it now, you will need it sooner or later. There is also this watch, everyone can use it. If I give it to you, just wear it. If you don't wear it, you will look down on it."
Your brother me."
Qiaogu took it with a smile and looked at the watch curiously. Even though it was 1982, the watch was still an expensive luxury item to her. She had never thought about it before.
"Brother, this watch is still a ladies' watch."
"I bought it for you. If I didn't buy a women's one, why should I buy a men's one?"
"This watch is so beautiful, brother, it must be worth a lot of money."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "I bought it in Xiangjiang. This is my intention for you. You don't care how much it costs. If you like it, take it with you. If it breaks, I will buy you a new one."
He didn't tell the price of the watch because he was afraid that if he told it, Qiaogu would be frightened and give up the watch instead of taking it out.
Chen Jianghe has been traveling all over the country for many years, and he has some discernment. He can tell that this watch is not simple, and the price will definitely not be cheap.
But when he saw Zhou Chen shaking his head at him, it was hard for him to say it out.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chen took out the things he had brought for Chen Jinshui and his wife and asked Qiaogu to deliver them to them.
After a while, Chen Erli came over to thank him, then grabbed Zhou Chen's hands and kept praising Zhou Chen for his promise and ability.
It was evening in a blink of an eye. After Chen Jinshui came back from work, Chen Erli and Qiaogu started cooking, while the three grown men sat at the dinner table and talked.
The main thing is that what Zhou Chen said, Chen Jinshui and Chen Jianghe listened to, all about Xiangjiang, and they both listened with great interest.
Chen Jianghe has traveled all over the world in the past few years and is quite well-informed.
But Chen Jinshui, despite his age, has actually not been to many places. At most, he has only traveled around the surrounding areas.
Not to mention that he has not been out of Yiwu for many years, so how can he possibly understand a place as far away as Xiangjiang?
When they heard Zhou Chen say that Xiangjiang is so developed, they all looked shocked. People can easily earn several thousand a month, but in this place, such a large county, there are very few people who earn more than a thousand a year.
.
Like the villagers in Chenjia Village, a family can probably earn a few hundred yuan a year or several thousand yuan a month. They really can't imagine it.
When they heard Zhou Chen talk about Xiangjiang's tall buildings and developed economy, they were all shocked. They didn't expect that there was such a big gap between China and Xiangjiang.
Chen Jianghe asked curiously: "Second brother, since Xiangjiang is so developed, you have never thought of staying in Xiangjiang for development? With your ability, second brother, it must be very simple for you to stay."
Zhou Chen said: "Stay in Xiangjiang? Why stay there? You have no relatives. The current domestic situation is not as good as Xiangjiang, but there will be good development in the future."
If he stays in Xiangjiang, he can rise quickly and even aspire to be the world's richest man. However, he has lived in many worlds and has taken these things lightly.
Business needs to develop. After all, if you want to live a good life, you must have money.
But life also requires enjoyment. He doesn't want to spend all his time in business wars, which is too tiring.
Chen Jinshui frowned secretly: "Xiaochen, when you return to Yiwu this time, don't you want to stay?"
"I have this idea, uncle, don't you support it?" Zhou Chen asked puzzledly.
Chen Jinshui said in a deep voice: "The university you went to in the capital is also a famous university in China. You are the number one top student in Yiwu. If you stay in Yiwu, it will be a waste of your talents and abilities. I support you going to the capital.
I support development, even going to Hong Kong and abroad."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Uncle, other parents are eager to keep their children by their side, but you are better off. Are you trying to drive me out?"
"This is not called rushing. Yiwu, a small place, is not suitable for your development. I am here for your own good. Good men are everywhere."
"Uncle, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I have already made a decision to invest in Yiwu. I already mentioned this matter when I had dinner with Xie Shuji at noon today."
"Did you have lunch with Xie Shuji?" Chen Jinshui looked surprised.
"Yeah, didn't I tell you in the afternoon?"
"Second brother, it seems we haven't said anything yet."
When Chen Jinshui saw that Zhou Chen was talking about this, he knew that he really couldn't persuade Zhou Chen. This nephew had too many ideas of his own, and he had learned from them in the past few years.
If it were Chen Jianghe, he could still give some persuasion, but with Zhou Chen, he thought about it and stopped persuading him.
"You said you want to invest in Yiwu, what to invest in? Do you have money?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "I already have a countermeasure for this, but I haven't started talking about it yet. I will explain it in detail to my uncle when the discussion is completed."
"Well, now that you have made your decision, I won't advise you anymore. Anyway, you are a college student. Even if you fail this time, you will have nothing to do in the future."
Nowadays, college students are very popular, let alone a college student from Peking University like Zhou Chen, which is even more incredible. No matter where you go, you can become a cadre.
The three of them clinked glasses and drank. The three of them were talking at the table. Chen Erli and Qiaogu just listened with open ears and rarely spoke.
After drinking for three rounds, Chen Jinshui talked about another thing.
"Xiaochen, I have something to ask you."
"Uncle, you ask."
"Do you know this woman Luo Yuzhu?"
"I know you. What's wrong? Uncle, did she have a conflict with you?"
Zhou Chen remembered that in the TV plot, Luo Yuzhu and Chen Jinshui didn't deal with each other, but that was all because of Chen Jianghe. Now that Luo Yuzhu and Chen Jianghe don't know each other, is it possible that they still have conflicts?
Chen Jinshui showed dissatisfaction: "I don't know how you met this woman, but I tell you, cut off all contact with this woman from now on."
Zhou Chen knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it. There must be a conflict, but fortunately, he had already been mentally prepared for this matter.
"Uncle, if she offended you, I would like to apologize to you on her behalf. She is just a little girl. There is no need for you to be familiar with her."
"Hmph, little girl?"
Chen Jinshui sneered: "She is not an ordinary woman. We have suppressed speculation in the past two years. She is the number one. She does whatever is illegal. She is not a good person. This kind of woman is not a good person. You listen to me.
, no matter what happened to you in the past, please don’t interact with each other again in the future, did you hear me?”
Zhou Chen looked serious and said very seriously: "Uncle, I really can't do this. Uncle, Luo Yuzhu and I met three years ago. We have a crush on each other. She has been waiting for me for three years, and I can't
It would be unmanly to just cut off all contact with her."
Chen Jinshui slapped the table angrily and shouted: "What kind of man is not a man? How old are you? Do you know what a man is? I eat more salt than you eat rice. In this kind of thing, I am better than you."
You have experience. This woman, Luo Yuzhu, has too many thoughts and is too messy, so she is not a good match for you."
"Uncle, that's not what you said. What we are advocating now is free love. Although Luo Yuzhu and I have not been together for a long time, we have a good impression of each other. Between men and women, affection is the foundation, and we already have this foundation."
Zhou Chen patiently explained to Chen Jinshui, hoping to change Chen Jinshui's mind.
But Chen Jinshui scoffed.
"I don't know the basis, but I know what kind of woman you can't find based on your conditions. What is Luo Yuzhu? She is a woman who doesn't even want her biological father. She has cheated and kidnapped her. She has never done anything.
?If you stay with her, you are lowering your own status."
Zhou Chen frowned slightly and said softly: "It's not her fault that her biological father doesn't want her. It's her biological father and uncle who are wrong. Although Yuzhu has no education, she grew up in the market and her character is not perfect either.
, But, I like her and identify with her, and I will not change this."
"It's just nonsense."
Chen Jinshui stood up and shouted angrily: "I am your uncle, I can ignore other things, but I must take care of this matter. You are a phoenix bird that can spread its wings and fly high. Luo Yuzhu is just a phoenix."
A mouse that can burrow in the ground, if you are with her, you will only be dragged down by her, and she will make it impossible for you to fly, do you understand?"
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Uncle, I understand what you mean and I understand your concerns. I understand that you are doing it for my own good, but I will also tell you the truth. If you let me choose between career and love,
If I had one, I would choose love now."
If he were faced with such a choice before getting the system, he would definitely choose career. If he has a career, would he still worry about not having love?
But having experienced more than a dozen film and television worlds, he would choose love more, because a career is available to him at any time, but a woman who can be extremely loyal to him is rare.
Once you have knowledge, experience and ability, you will be more prepared when faced with choices.
"I love you so much. I think you've lost your mind. Are you still in love?"
Chen Jinshui was angrily scolded by Zhou Chen on the spot. Their generation is more pragmatic, and love is really too luxurious. Life is so difficult. Who cares whether it is love or not?
He believes that love exists, but compared to a man's career and future, love is really nothing.
"Dad, why are you so fierce? Can't you talk to my brother properly?" Qiaogu stood up and urged anxiously.
An angry Chen Jinshui ignored her and scolded her directly: "It has nothing to do with you. Sit down and stop talking."
Qiaogu looked aggrieved, and now Chen Erli couldn't help it anymore: "Her dad, Qiaogu is doing it for your own good, why are you angry?"
"Okay, you two, please stop causing trouble." Chen Jinshui was very impatient.
Chen Jianghe also hurriedly tried to persuade him. When he spoke, Chen Jinshui did not angrily criticize him, but he was not satisfied either because he felt that he was not wrong at all. It was Zhou Chen who had a problem and there was no one to turn to. He had to turn to that woman Luo Yuzhu.
Isn't it self-destructive?
Although Chen Jinshui was angry, Zhou Chen kept smiling. No matter what Chen Jinshui said, he was not angry, but he did not agree with what Chen Jinshui said.
Chen Jinshui was so angry that he stopped drinking and turned back to the room, thus ending the dispute.
As soon as Chen Jinshui left, Chen Jianghe and the others looked at Zhou Chen.
Both Qiaogu and Chen Erli have met Luo Yuzhu, but Chen Jianghe has only heard of it but has never seen it, so he is curious about what kind of woman can make his second brother, whom he admires, fight against Chen Jinshui for her.
dispute.
"Second brother, is that Luo Yuzhu my uncle mentioned?"
Zhou Chen said: "If you have time, I will introduce you to each other, but don't say it now, otherwise my uncle will come out and give me a lesson later."
Chen Erli said: "Xiaochen, don't blame your uncle. He is doing it for your own good and thinking about your future, so he said it so seriously."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Auntie, don't worry, I really don't blame my uncle. Of course I know that he is doing it for my own good, and I let him down. But when it comes to choosing a partner, I still want to follow my own ideas, no matter what
Whatever happens in the future, at least I won’t regret it.”
Chen Erli sighed and said nothing more. She is a woman, more emotional than Chen Jinshui. When she and Chen Jinshui were together, to be honest, there was no so-called love at all. That is to say, they couldn't live without each other after they were together for a long time.
To each other, this is their love.
So she was quite touched by Zhou Chen's attitude towards love. She didn't know what attracted Luo Yuzhu to such an outstanding nephew.
After eating, Chen Jianghe and Qiao Gu did not go back to their own rooms, but rushed into Zhou Chen's room together.
Zhou Chen did not chase them away, but followed their request and told them about his experiences outside and some interesting insights.
The next morning, Zhou Chen got up early. He went out for a run as a habit. After exercising, when he came back, he saw Chen Jinshui dressed and ready to go out.
"uncle."
Chen Jinshui nodded without looking angry. Instead, he said: "If nothing happens these two days, just rest at home. If nothing happens, let Ji Feo accompany you to go out and see how Yiwu has changed in the past few years."
.”
"I see."
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention what happened last night again.
After Zhou Chen had breakfast, he did not ask Chen Jianghe to accompany him. Instead, he left Chenjiacun on his bicycle and came to the house he rented for Luo Yuzhu.
Luo Yuzhu went out early today because the recent opening of the street department store market allowed those who are in the small commodity department store business to set up stalls and sell things on the roadside, so she always went out early to do business recently.
.
Zhou Chen came to the door of the house he rented three years ago. Looking at the locked door, he knew that Luo Yuzhu was not at home.
Through the crack in the door, I could barely see the scene inside. The yard was very clean, and there were trees planted inside.
After looking around, Zhou Chen was not ready to go in, so he rode away. He was going to check out the newly opened road market. He knew that unless Luo Yuzhu was going to purchase goods, there was a high probability that Luo Yuzhu would be there.
Things are sold there.
When Qiu Yingjie talked to him on the phone before, he told him that Luo Yuzhu was already known as the "Sock King" in Yiwu. This was no different from the TV series. She still started her business by selling socks.
Zhou Chen has been shopping on the streets of Yiwu a lot before, so even after three years, he is still relatively familiar with Yiwu. Chen Jianghe told him the location, so he quickly found the first street department store in Yiwu.
market.
Not to mention, when he arrived at the place, he found that this street was really lively, with people coming and going, making the place very congested, and there was an endless stream of chaotic hawking sounds.
It was indeed lively, but the biggest feeling given to Zhou Chen was that of chaos.
But he could understand it. After all, this was just his first attempt, and the stalls were set up on both sides of the road. There were so many people coming and going, so it would be strange if there was no chaos.
Some stalls have very good business, while others have very few customers.
The items sold at various stalls are also messy, and many stalls have duplicate products.
Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to find anyone, but pushed his bicycle and started shopping from the beginning, picking up things to look at from time to time.
While casually dealing with the merchants setting up stalls, Zhou Chen looked at things seriously. It must be said that most people at this time were very sincere and simple.
The items sold at the stalls are not expensive at all, and many of the items may not look good at first glance, but once you get started, they turn out to be quite good.
From Zhou Chen's perspective, these products are naturally mediocre and very backward.
But in this era, most of the merchandise and department stores here are necessities of life, and there are basically no luxuries.
It looks chaotic here, but Zhou Chen knows that this is just the beginning. In the future, Yiwu will become the world's largest small commodity wholesale market, starting from here.
My child is not feeling well today, he is too tired from work, and his whole body hurts, so there will only be one chapter today. Please forgive me.
