In the living room on the first floor of the villa, Zhou Chen clapped his hands and said to his youngest son Zhou Hong, who was standing on the sofa.
The youngest son's name is Zhou Hong. Zhou Tao's name was originally decided by Zhou Chen, and it has no special meaning.
As for the name Zhou Hong, it was Luo Yuzhu's strong request to have someone tell his fortune.
The reason for this is that the eldest son was born at full term, the delivery process was smooth, and the birth was healthy.
But the younger son, Zhou Hong, was not full-term when he was born, more than three weeks later. He was not as healthy as his elder son when he was born. He was very noisy and cried non-stop.
Luo Yuzhu was worried about her youngest son, so she asked someone to tell her fortune. Finally, she calculated that the five elements were short of water, and after adding them up, she named Zhou Hong.
Zhou Chen doesn't really believe in fortune telling, but he doesn't reject it either.
Since fortune-telling can be passed down for thousands of years, it means that it still has a reason for its existence. You may not believe it, but you cannot deny the reason for its existence.
What's more, Zhou Chen has even experienced things like systems and time travel. Isn't this weirder and more incredible than fortune telling?
If that's the case, what reason does he have for rejection?
He doesn't really believe it, just because he has never met a real master. Nine and a half of the ten fortune tellers currently on the market are just trying to gain fame.
What's more, they just gave the child a name, which is not a big deal. After choosing a name, the family feels at ease, which is more important than anything else.
It was indeed not smooth when Zhou Hong was born, but later Zhou Chen and Luo Yuzhu took good care of him. Although he would get sick, Zhou Chen was able to take care of it, so little Zhou Hong, who is more than one year old, is now very healthy.
Little Zhou Hong is much happier than Zhou Tao. He was able to live in a big house when he was born. He grew up with not only his parents but also his older brother. He was the most favored one at home, and everyone looked after him.
Zhou Hong stumbled to Zhou Chen. When he was still more than one meter away from Zhou Chen, his two short legs ran very fast and rushed directly into Zhou Chen's arms.
"Giggle..."
Zhou Chen held his youngest son in his arms and said to Luo Yuzhu who was sitting next to him: "Yuzhu, I'm going to Xiangjiang in two days. It will take about half a month to come back. At home..."
Before he could speak, Luo Yuzhu interrupted: "Don't worry at home, I can handle it."
"If you feel bored at home, after sending Xiao Tao to kindergarten, you can leave Xiao Hong to Aunt Huang and go to the Trade City yourself. You have only been to the Trade City a few times in the past few years."
Luo Yuzhu smiled and said: "I really want to visit the Trade City. When Sister Feng came here before, she said that the Trade City is full of people and business is very good. She also asked me to thank you for giving them such a good thing.
Location."
The women who were selling goods with Luo Yuzhu, Sister Feng and others came to see Luo Yuzhu when they entered the trade city. Zhou Chen took care of them and gave them better positions in the trade city.
Because the location is relatively good, it has natural advantages, so the business of Luo Yuzhu and the other two sisters is very good.
Luo Yuzhu chatted with them, and sometimes she was very envious. She was a strong woman type. In the past few years, she had been staying at home for the sake of her children.
Although Zhou Chen makes money at home and lives a better life than anyone else, she still longs to go out and do work.
Zhou Chen went to Xiangjiang, naturally, for the company there. He mainly worked in the financial investment industry there, so sometimes he could control it remotely even if he was not there.
Now the company in Xiangjiang has developed to a certain scale, but he does not want to go public. This time he went there to deal with some company matters.
Zhou Chen was never ready to give up on the company in Xiangjiang, because even though the company in China has been reopened, many things are still not as convenient as in Xiangjiang, and it is easier to integrate with international standards in Xiangjiang.
In the future, he will have to complete side missions, deal with Ruan Wenxiong, and may even fight against the Ruan family, so before the fight, he must make himself strong enough. Only if he is strong enough can he make it easier to deal with Ruan Wenxiong in the future.
Can't Ruan Wenxiong spend money to hire foreigners to kidnap and extort? He will spend a lot of money to hire several mercenary groups to see who is more ruthless.
Of course, this is just a thought. Although Zhou Chen's views on the law have changed a lot as he traveled more and more times, he is still a good law-abiding citizen unless necessary.
This time he went to Xiangjiang. Zhou Chen said it was half a month, but in fact he stayed for a full month before returning home.
In 1989, Chen Daguang, who had been working outside for many years, came back, but his return was not a happy thing for many people.
A few years ago, Chen Daguang said he was going to get to know Xu Ruijie, and then went to Pengcheng.
Xu Ruijie took him to Pengcheng and arranged for Chen Daguang to work in sales in a company. At the beginning, Chen Daguang worked very seriously and made a lot of money.
When Xu Ruijie saw that Chen Daguang was slowly becoming stable, he stopped caring about him, because Zhou Chen didn't let her take Chen Daguang with her all the time. He still had his own things to do, so after returning to Xiangjiang, he stopped paying attention to Chen Daguang.
.
Chen Daguang worked in sales in Pengcheng and met many people, many of whom were famous. Seeing the glamor of these people, Chen Daguang had more thoughts on his mind. Then he did not do his job every day, but just ate and drank with these people, trying to establish relationships with them.
, make yourself a lot of money.
When selling is about making money, but it is limited by ability and culture. The money he makes is much more than in Yiwu, but in a place like Pengcheng, it is not even a mid-range level.
Chen Daguang was ambitious and wanted to climb up, so he racked his brains to find a way to make a fortune.
It wasn't until he followed a friend who was a leader to do smuggling that he really gained knowledge, especially when he saw the huge profits from goods traveling between Hong Kong and the mainland. He couldn't help it anymore and actually started smuggling.
Buy and sell.
Over the past few years, Chen Daguang has indeed made a lot of money. He can even buy a few houses in Pengcheng.
It's just that when he makes money, he starts to drift off. He eats, drinks, buys, and gambles. He earns more and spends it faster.
So after a few years, he looked glamorous, but he really didn't have much savings in hand.
But this did not affect his return home in fine clothes. He wore a brand-name suit and drove a car he bought, and returned to Yiwu and Chenjiacun very proudly.
Chen Daguang's return caused a huge sensation in Chenjia Village, which was even greater than when Zhou Chen and Chen Jianghe came back.
After all, Chen Daguang is different from Zhou Chen and Chen Jianghe. Zhou Chen and Chen Jianghe are both outsiders, while Chen Daguang is a native of Chenjia Village. He grew up in Chenjia Village and is related to many people in the village.
Therefore.
This time he came back, and he came back in a car, wearing gold and silver, and looking well-off, which naturally shocked the folks in Chenjiacun.
However, some people were very unhappy when Chen Daguang came back, and one of them was Qiao Gu.
Qiaogu is almost twenty-six years old and has never gotten married. In fact, she is just waiting for Chen Daguang to come back.
Now that Chen Daguang is back, she is not happy at all, because Chen Daguang did not come back alone, he also brought back a gorgeous woman.
Chen Daguang has been living outside for so many years and has picked up many bad habits. He has experienced countless women, and there are many women more beautiful than Qiaogu, so he has long forgotten his childhood sweetheart Qiaogu.
It's over.
He brought the woman back to show off, because the woman he brought back this time was indeed very beautiful, and he spent a lot of effort and money to get it. He was also planning to marry this woman, and he brought her back this time to make him
Dad and mom, take a look.
Qiaogu wiped away her tears while telling Zhou Chen about Chen Daguang.
Zhou Chen was a little surprised when he heard about Chen Daguang, but not too surprised.
It had been several years since Chen Daguang left, and he had not been paying attention to Chen Daguang for a long time. Now that Chen Daguang suddenly came back with such a high profile, it was clear that he was returning to his hometown in fine clothes to show off.
But Chen Daguang brought the woman back, and he was quite happy. Now Qiaogu and Chen Daguang were no longer possible.
Thinking of what happened after Qiaogu married Chen Daguang in the TV series, he would rather Qiaogu never marry than see Qiaogu marry Chen Daguang.
Now that Chen Daguang has started to do it himself, it saves him so much trouble. It seems that the original decision was not wrong at all.
"Okay, Qiaogu, it's not worth doing this for Chen Daguang. If Chen Daguang really cares about you, he won't not keep in touch with you for several years. Not to mention calling you, he won't even write a letter."
When Chen Daguang first went to Pengcheng, he could call Qiaogu once a month, but within a year, contact was cut off.
Qiaogu also asked Zhou Chen to ask Xu Ruijie to look for him, but Zhou Chen agreed, but didn't care. He only asked Xu Ruijie to look for him once. After knowing that Chen Daguang was still alive and well, he told Qiaogu and stopped taking care of it.
Later, Qiaogu gradually stopped asking questions, until now Chen Daguang came back.
Qiaogu choked up and said: "Why did Daguang become like this? Brother, do people become bad once they get rich?"
In her opinion, no matter how glamorous Chen Daguang is now, he is not as good as before. The current Chen Daguang is too fake and full of lies, and she doesn't like it at all.
Zhou Chen patted Qiaogu's head and advised: "Don't think nonsense and forget about Chen Daguang. He is not worthy. You should have your own happiness."
In fact, Qiaogu and Chen Jianghe are quite good, but it's a pity that they only have a brother-sister relationship, not love.
But Zhou Chen sincerely hopes that Qiaogu can find her own happiness.
Twenty-six-year-old Qiaogu is actually quite young. In this day and age, there are really very few women who are not married at this age.
Qiaogu has been working beside Zhou Chen for six years and has become a white-collar worker. It may not be enough compared to the previous ones, but it is definitely more than enough compared to the inferior ones.
It's not like no one has pursued Qiao Gu in recent years, but Qiao Gu is very simple and she still wants to wait for Chen Daguang, so she has been putting it off until now.
Qiaogu wiped away her tears and said softly: "I understand, brother, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine."
She is really sad, but she is no longer the simple little girl who only plays behind Chen Daguang. She has become stronger.
In the evening, when Zhou Chen and Chen Jinshui were drinking, Chen Jinshui got drunk and yelled at Chen Daguang, saying that Chen Daguang had delayed his daughter. He scolded Chen Daguang in various ways, which made Chen Daguang useless.
Zhou Chen also followed Chen Jinshui's words and said a few words. His disdain for Chen Daguang did not come from the TV series, but his opinion after contacting him.
Chen Daguang stayed in Chenjiacun for a few days. After showing off enough, he left.
During this period, Chen Daguang also visited Zhou Chen and met with him. He was extremely loud and wanted to invite Zhou Chen to dinner, but Zhou Chen refused without hesitation. He didn't want to meet Chen Daguang again.
After contacting him, this kid was destined to be a scammer, so he didn't bother to talk to him.
Chen Jianghe, who had not returned to Yiwu for a long time, suddenly came back and found Zhou Chen immediately.
"Second brother, I listened to your opinion and went to Magic City some time ago. Oh my, I really learned a lot. This time I went, I also saw a single-needle electronic jacquard machine, which is very useful. I think
How many units should I buy?”
Zhou Chen didn't know much about the sock industry, but after listening to Chen Jianghe's words, he remembered that in the plot, Chen Jianghe seemed to have met Yang Xue because of the jacquard machine.
Could it be that Chen Jianghe has already met Yang Xue?
"As long as you think it will be useful to the factory, then buy it. How is the profit of the sock factory recently? Is the capital sufficient to circulate?"
The acquisition of the sock factory was just a small matter for Zhou Chen. After handing the sock factory to Chen Jianghe, he never asked about it again. It was Chen Jianghe who took the initiative to report to him every time, and he only learned about the situation of the sock factory.
The last time he went to the sock factory was more than a year ago.
Chen Jianghe nodded repeatedly: "Enough, the funds are sufficient. Fortunately, you helped me control the general direction. The sock factory has developed well in the past two years."
Zhou Chen said: "The improvement of the sock factory is all thanks to you. I didn't help at all. Jianghe brand socks are very prosperous here recently. You have done a very good job. We must continue to maintain this brand."
Chen Jianghe's newly registered brand is his own name. Now Jianghe socks are somewhat famous in China.
After talking about business matters, Zhou Chen asked about personal matters.
"Jiang He, you are also twenty-seven, right?"
"Yes, it's twenty-eight during the Chinese New Year."
"You are not young anymore, and you haven't met the right person yet?"
Chen Jianghe suddenly laughed: "Second brother, why do you still care about me? I'm so busy now, how can I have time to think about those things?"
Zhou Chen said: "As busy as you are, getting married and starting a family is also a big deal. Starting a family and starting a business is before starting a family."
Chen Jianghe scratched his head and said, "I really haven't thought about this. To be honest, I'm really afraid of seeing my uncle, afraid that he will pair me up with Qiaogu again."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "He is really worried about you and Qiaogu."
Seeing that Chen Jianghe never mentioned Yang Xue, Zhou Chen was also confused. Did Chen Jianghe not meet Yang Xue, or did he not have any sparks with Yang Xue?
"By the way, do you remember what I told you before? I have left you a house in the neighborhood next to it. It has been renovated. When you return to Yiwu, if you don't want to live in Chenjiacun, just go and live there.
, you can move in with a little cleaning.”
Chen Jianghe said: "Second brother, look at this, why are you giving me a house? The house you have here costs a lot of money."
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes: "You're still talking about money with me. The sock factory has made money in the past few years. It's all your fault. Just keep it if you give it to me. Don't talk so much nonsense."
Chen Jianghe couldn't convince Zhou Chen, so he had to accept it in the end.
