At the food stall opposite the Internet cafe, Zhou Chen called Shen Mo, Fu Weijun and others over to eat together.
"Zhou Chen, have you been very busy recently? Are you always away from Hualin?"
This question has been in Shen Mo's mind for a long time, because Zhou Chen has met her several times in the past two months, which made her feel uneasy, fearing that Zhou Chen would no longer want her.
Zhou Chen said: "I'm a little busy. I have a profitable business and I went out to inspect it for a while."
"Oh, I'm on a business trip."
When Zhou Chen said he was on a business trip again, Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and had no doubts at all.
Zhou Chen asked Wu Qifai and Fu Weijun about the recent situation of Xingchen Internet Cafe and learned that the business of Xingchen Internet Cafe was as good as ever. Although several departments came to inspect the Internet cafe, it did not cause any trouble. Wu Qifai spent
Just a little money and it's settled.
"Since the Internet cafe business is good, are you interested in opening a branch?"
"Branch?"
Shen Mo and the others all looked surprised. They had never thought about this. In fact, they were ordinary people and did not have much ambition. The business of the Internet cafe was booming now, which made them particularly satisfied.
Give birth to more ambition.
"Yes, it is a branch. In the next few years or more, Internet cafes will become an important entertainment venue in the country. As long as they are well run, they will definitely make money. If you open a chain store now, there is a great opportunity to become bigger and stronger."
Zhou Chen naturally knows everything about the future development prospects of Internet cafes.
Shen Mo didn't say anything, because she didn't work in an Internet cafe, so it had little to do with her not being able to open a branch.
Fu Weijun and Sui Dong also had no big reaction. Sui Dong even said: "I just need to follow Brother Jun, and everything else is fine."
Fu Weijun said that it is very good here now. He likes it here very much and does not want to go anywhere else.
Only Wu Qifai's eyes lit up. He was now a technician at an Internet cafe. Although his salary was not low, if Zhou Chen opened a branch, he would have the opportunity to participate in the management.
If he had to choose between technicians and managers, he would certainly know which one had a greater future.
Zhou Chen saw Wu Qiqi's intention, so he asked: "Old Wu, if you are tempted, I can leave the matter of opening a branch to you and arrange a few people for you, how about it?"
Wu Qifai took a breath: "Boss, I want to do it."
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Just do it if you want to. Don't think too much. Come to me in the billiards room near Huagang in a few days and I will make arrangements."
"Yes, boss." Wu Qifai replied excitedly.
Zhou Chen's arrangement was naturally to arrange Liu Feng's people. Since Liu Feng decided to hang out with him, he also happened to lack some available people. Letting them be in charge of the new Internet cafe was a good choice for the time being.
After dinner, Zhou Chen stayed in the Internet cafe for a while and then left the Internet cafe with Shen Mo.
The two were walking on the dim road, Shen Mo holding Zhou Chen's arm. Ever since Zhou Chen beat Shen Dongliang, the relationship between the two has grown by leaps and bounds.
It just so happened that Zhou Chen had graduated from Hua Medical University, so he no longer had to worry about it, so they naturally became boyfriend and girlfriend. Although it has not yet reached the end, it is progressing rapidly.
"Has there been a lot of school work lately?"
"Well, my sophomore year is obviously busier than my freshman year, but I can handle it."
"I believe that studying medicine is a very good choice for girls. If you want to be a doctor in the future, study hard. If you don't want to be a doctor, it doesn't matter. You are my girlfriend and I can do whatever you want.
Support you."
Shen Mo stopped, raised his head, and looked at Zhou Chen carefully. Suddenly he stood up on tiptoes and kissed the corner of Zhou Chen's mouth.
"I want to be a doctor. My dream before was to cure Xiaojun's disease, and I haven't changed that now."
"Okay, I believe you can do it."
Zhou Chen in turn kissed Shen Mo. Shen Mo might have some personality problems, but who in this world has a perfect personality?
Shen Mo is the kind of person who, if you treat her sincerely, she will treat you sincerely, so Zhou Chen treats her well without asking for anything, and Shen Mo can feel it, so he also has a special dependence on him.
Zhou Chen sent Shen Mo to the school gate, and then waved goodbye to Shen Mo.
The next morning, when Zhou Chen got up for his morning exercise, he heard many conversations between Huagang employees and their families in the dormitory area, and learned a more important thing.
Hua Steel is preparing to lay off a group of employees. Because Hua Steel's current profits are decreasing year by year and it can no longer afford so many employees, Hua Steel's leadership team has decided to lay off a group of employees, and the number will not be small.
After this incident came out, it caused a huge sensation in the factory, and even the families in the dormitory area were talking about it.
After all, it is hard to find a job these days, let alone an 'iron rice bowl' like Hua Steel, especially for ordinary employees. Even if the wages are low now, and many times the wages are not paid on time, and some workshops have stopped working, they still can
No one wants to leave Huagang.
Especially those old employees who have worked for Huaigang for a long time. Many of them have stayed with Huaigang all their lives. If they are suddenly laid off at this time, it will definitely be a huge blow.
So although everyone knows that this matter is irreversible, everyone is praying that they will not be laid off.
Zhou Chen can understand the panic and worry of these people. Even twenty years later, a good job is crucial to a family, not to mention that in this era, many families rely on one person's work.
Life, if this job that depends on survival suddenly disappears, it is unimaginable what a disaster it will be.
But he also knew that Huagang was already terminally ill and there was basically no possibility of saving him.
If you want to save Hua Steel, you have to invest a huge amount of money. But the question is, with so much money, who will save this half-dead factory? Isn’t it good to start a new business?
What's more, Zhou Chen clearly knows that the management of Hua Steel is already rotten to the core. The factory director has taken the lead in corruption. How do you expect the following to get better?
He knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Wang Xiang would also be on the laid-off list this time.
In the plot, he was removed from the list because he broke up the good relationship between the factory director and his lover, which made the factory director feel that something had fallen into his hands. However, later because of Gong Biao and Huang Liru, he was removed from the list.
He was resented by the factory director Song Yukun and was laid off.
In fact, from Zhou Chen's point of view, if Wang Xiang is laid off, it may not be a good choice. After all, Huagang will only get worse and worse, and it will be completely closed down soon. Instead of waiting until then, it is better to come out early.
, find a new job to survive.
In the evening, as soon as Zhou Chen came out of the dormitory, he was stopped by a man.
"Comrade, I want to ask you something."
Zhou Chen looked at the young man with a haircut in front of him, nodded, and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"Wang Xiang, Master Wang lives here, right?"
"Yes, you are looking for Uncle Wang, who are you?"
When the man heard this, he immediately smiled: "Hello, comrade, I am Gong Biao from the Hua Steel Factory. I came to see Master Wang for something. On which floor does he live?"
Zhou Chen was greatly surprised when he heard that this man actually announced his name as Gong Biao. After a long season, the last of the three elders finally showed up.
In this plot, if you choose the most miserable person, I am afraid most people will choose Gong Biaobiaozi, because he is really miserable, very miserable.
Gong Biao may have many shortcomings, but he is definitely a kind person, a truly good person. Even if he has experienced such tragic things, he has not become worse, he has only become worse.
"I live in this unit on the second floor, the one on the east side."
"Comrade, thank you."
After Gong Biao got what he wanted to know, he immediately smiled, thanked Zhou Chen, and then rushed into the building.
Zhou Chen looked at his leaving figure thoughtfully. He originally thought that if the corpse dismemberment had not happened, Gong Biao and Wang Xiang would not have crossed paths. But now that Gong Biao came to see Wang Xiang, it was obvious that the two had already crossed paths.
The reason for this situation is probably due to Luo Meisu's cousin, the nurse Huang Liru.
In the TV series, Huang Liru and Song Yukun, the director of Hua Steel Factory, got together, but the specific time when they got together was not clearly stated in the plot.
It may be that Song Yukun and Huang Liru met during the episode when Wang Xiang was hospitalized, or they may have known each other before.
Shaking his head, Zhou Chen didn't think much about this matter, got on his motorcycle and went straight to Victoria.
Xu Zhiyun just came back from Xiangjiang and asked him to go to Victoria to celebrate, because this time she was in Xiangjiang and relied on Zhou Chen's remote command to make a lot of money. Now that the dust has settled, she couldn't wait to fly back and wanted to follow Zhou Chen.
Chen celebrates.
As soon as Zhou Chen walked to Victoria's door, the little man in charge of welcoming guests at the door shouted very respectfully: "Mr. Zhou, welcome, please come in."
As a person who relies on his eyes to eat, Zhou Chen, who is a natural doorman, is a big customer. This is a guest that Manager Ge must be careful to entertain, and of course he does not dare to be careless.
Zhou Chen nodded at him and then walked into Victoria.
This time Xu Zhiyun did not make an appointment in the lobby, but in a private room.
"Zhou Chen, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for half an hour."
When Xu Zhiyun saw Zhou Chen come in, she came over very happily, hugged Zhou Chen, and then gave him a sweet kiss.
"We haven't seen each other for more than two months. Do you miss me?"
Zhou Chen also responded enthusiastically and directly picked up Xu Zhiyun by the waist. The princess sat on the sofa and kissed her affectionately.
Then let go after a minute.
"Do you feel it?"
"I feel it. I thought that since you had your little girlfriend, you were no longer interested in me, an old and lustful old woman?" Xu Zhiyun said coquettishly.
"Old age and beauty?"
Zhou Chen pretended to be angry: "Which blind bastard said that our sister Yun is old and wan? Tell me and I will break three of his legs."
Xu Zhiyun rolled her eyes and tapped Zhou Chen's forehead: "You are the only one who knows how to act poor. Why am I in your hands? There is nothing I can do against you."
"There's nothing you can do about it."
The two were cozy for a long time, and then started talking about business.
Xu Zhiyun told Zhou Chen everything that happened in Xiangjiang this time, and then asked Zhou Chen what he should do in the future.
In fact, she has her own ideas about future development, but she is able to do so smoothly now only because of Zhou Chen's guidance, so for the sake of safety, she still wants to listen to Zhou Chen's suggestions more and avoid detours.
Zhou Chen didn't hide anything, but whenever Xu Zhiyun asked, he answered truthfully.
Xu Zhiyun is doing well in life, which has only advantages and no disadvantages for him. He is still very confident in his abilities. This woman has been conquered by him in all aspects, and the possibility of betrayal is extremely slim.
After talking about business, Xu Zhiyun led Zhou Chen to sing and dance. The main reason why she likes to come to Victoria is that she likes to sing and dance.
She once told Zhou Chen that her childhood dream was to be a singer, but her voice was not good enough, so she had to give up this path.
But even though she is over thirty, has been married and divorced, she still likes to sing, but she usually just entertains herself, but now her goal is to make money and build a money empire of her own.
Zhou Chen is a musician himself, so he is no stranger to singing and dancing. He had a great time playing along with Xu Zhiyun.
While they were playing around, Lao Ge carefully knocked on the door and came in. He flattered the two of them a lot and toasted several glasses of wine before leaving the private room.
"Come with me to the bathroom."
"OK."
Zhou Chen accompanied Xu Zhiyun to the bathroom. As a man, he was naturally very fast. Then he stood at the door of the bathroom and waited.
"I know, Nong..."
A very strange accent attracted Zhou Chen's attention. He turned around and saw a short man wearing a vest and wearing mousse making a phone call not far away from him. Although the strange accent made sense
It is Mandarin, but it is very different from the locals, and is somewhat similar to the accent in the south.
"From Guangdong Province or from Xiangjiang?"
He had shopped at Victoria Entertainment International Plaza many times, but he had never met anyone with a Cantonese accent, so he couldn't help but look at each other.
The person's call ended quickly and he walked towards the bathroom. At this time, Xu Zhiyun also came out. She naturally took Zhou Chen's arm and prepared to go back to the private room.
"Miss Xu?"
Suddenly, the person Zhou Chen had just noticed came to Zhou Chen and the two of them and looked at Xu Zhiyun with surprise.
Zhou Chen frowned and said nothing, while Xu Zhiyun looked at this man in surprise.
"Ms. Xu, you don't know me. My surname is Lu, Lu Wenzhong. I'm from Xiangjiang. Are we taking a flight together today?"
Seeing that Xu Zhiyun didn't recognize him, the man hurriedly introduced himself.
After being reminded, Xu Zhiyun finally reacted: "Oh, it's you, Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize it just now."
Lu Wenzhong said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, after all, we only met once, but being able to see Miss Xu here again shows that we are still destined."
Xu Zhiyun smiled: "It's a bit of fate."
She came back by plane today, and this Lu Wenzhong happened to be on the same flight as her. He even talked to her on the plane, but she just chatted with her casually. She didn't expect to meet this person in Victoria.
