The world of film and television begins from childhood

He Yun's performance was not very enthusiastic, but it was not rude either. She just maintained the proper politeness and smile.

As for Zhou Chen, he didn't say much. What he wanted to say to Zheng Guangming was not suitable to be said at the dinner table.

The meal lasted nearly two hours, and then Zheng Guangming and He Yun stayed at home for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

Originally, Zheng Juan wanted Zheng Guangming to stay at home, but there were only three rooms in the house and Zheng Guangming brought his girlfriend with him, which was very inconvenient, so in the end she had to agree to let Zheng Guangming and his girlfriend stay in a hotel.

Zhou Chen and Zheng Guangming sat together in the hotel suite.

"Brother Bingkun, you asked me to open a branch of the group in Pengcheng. Because of this matter, there was quite a stir in the group, and many people did not support this decision."

Zheng Guangming reported the situation of the head office to Zhou Chen. He followed Zhou Chen's instructions and wanted to develop in Pengcheng, but many people in the group disagreed with his decision, making it very difficult for him as the general manager.

Zhou Chen said calmly, "If you have any objections, can't you, as the general manager, handle them?"

Zheng Guangming said with embarrassment: "It's not that it can't be settled, but it's troublesome. Those senior executives are unwilling to go to Pengcheng. If we open a branch in Pengcheng, we can only start from scratch."

Zhou Chen glanced at him and said calmly, "I think not only they don't want to go to Pengcheng, you don't want to either, right?"

"No, no, Brother Bingkun, I really have no objection. I will go wherever you tell me to go. I promise I won't say a word." Zheng Guangming quickly expressed his loyalty.

Zhou Chen's expression became serious and he stared at Zheng Guangming.

"When I sent you to Hong Kong, your sister was worried. Now it seems that her worries were not unreasonable. In the past few years in Hong Kong, you have improved a lot, but you have also picked up a lot of bad habits, such as hanging out in bars and playing with celebrities. Look at how your health has deteriorated now."

Zheng Guangming had an awkward smile on his face. He knew that some of his actions displeased Zhou Chen, but sometimes he couldn't control himself and couldn't resist other people's advice.

Although Zhou Chen scolded him, he did not blame him too much, because Zheng Guangming's problems were not a big problem. After all, Zheng Guangming used to be blind and lived in a backward country. He went to the glamorous world of Hong Kong and had a lot of money, so it was inevitable that he could not control himself.

People will change as the environment changes.

Fortunately, Zheng Guangming listened to him and followed his instructions. He gradually developed Chenxing Group to its current scale. Apart from him, Zheng Guangming has made the greatest contribution to Chenxing Group's current success.

"Guangming, I can ignore other things, but there is one thing I must warn you about. I have told you so many times that you can have fun, but you must keep a clear mind. You have released so many people in the group for He Yun. You don't think I really don't know, do you?"

Zheng Guangming's face turned pale immediately, and he quickly explained: "Brother Bingkun, I arranged some jobs for Xiaoyun's relatives, but they are only low-level and middle-level jobs, which will not bring any impact to the group company."

"That's what you think. A tall building is built from the ground up, and every brick and tile is its foundation. You think those positions are insignificant, but sometimes they may play a key role."

Zhou Chen shook his head. Although Zheng Guangming had established Chenxing Group under his remote control and gained a lot of experience, he was still young after all, only in his twenties, and handled many things immaturely.

"When you go back this time, you must find a way to get rid of those people for me immediately. I don't care about your affairs with He Yun, but I still have to tell you, as your brother-in-law, I tell you that that woman is not suitable to be your wife."

If someone else said this, Zheng Guangming would definitely retort, but when Zhou Chen said this, he was willing to accept it humbly.

"Brother Bingkun, I remember this."

He was not surprised that Zhou Chen could clearly know the situation within the group, because he knew that although Zhou Chen was not in Hong Kong, there were many of Zhou Chen's spies in the company.

He did not complain either. The reason he could have the comfortable life he had now was all thanks to Zhou Chen.

He is a grateful person. Zhou Chen has taken care of him for so many years, cured his eyes, and given him a bright future. No matter what Zhou Chen asks him to do, he will do it without hesitation.

Although he is the general manager of Chenxing Group, he is not the largest shareholder of Chenxing Group. He only holds 10% of the shares of Chenxing Group. The rest of the shares are in the hands of Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan, but Zheng Juan is not aware of it.

Zhou Chen gave Zheng Guangming another instruction: "Guangming, remember my words. Hong Kong is indeed one of the world's financial centers now, but no matter how prosperous it is, it is only a small place. The mainland of the future is the real treasure trove. It will be good for the group to enter Pengcheng as soon as possible."

Zheng Guangming had stayed in Hong Kong for a few days and had come into contact with many top tycoons, so he had gained a certain vision. However, he was still young and inexperienced after all, so he could not understand Zhou Chen's ideas. But he had one good point: he was obedient.

"Brother Bingkun, I know what to do. Don't worry, I promise to do as you say."

Zhou Chen chatted with Zheng Guangming for a long time in the hotel suite before going home alone.

As for Zhou Bingyi, after returning from Pengcheng after a long journey, he went straight to the provincial compound.

After senior official Hao left, the number of people dining at the Hao family dropped from four to three.

Zhou Bingyi told Jin Yueji and Hao Dongmei what he saw and heard in Pengcheng, and Jin Yueji and Hao Dongmei were both stunned.

Especially when they found out that Yao Lisong was fooling around outside, the two women felt resentful and felt sorry for Yao Lisong's wife Dong Weihong.

Jin Yueji was impressed by the prosperity of Pengcheng. Compared with Pengcheng, their place was really like heaven and earth. But even though it was backward, she felt that Jiangliao Province was still better than Pengcheng in some areas.

The family of three had a discussion about what they had seen and heard. It must be said that Zhou Bingyi was indeed capable. He gained Jin Yueji's approval by refuting Hao Dongmei and endorsing Jin Yueji's words.

Then Jin Yueji asked about Zhou Bingyi's work problems.

In fact, she has been paying attention to it over the past few years, but because of her special status and conservative thinking, she has never given Zhou Bingyi any substantial help.

But seeing that Zhou Bingyi valued her and her daughter so much and would rather spend the New Year with them than reunite with his parents, she was actually very touched and became more and more accepting of Zhou Bingyi.

As he was talking, Zhou Bingyi remembered what Yao Lisong had said to him, and he felt it necessary to ask his mother-in-law and wife to help him analyze the situation.

"Mom, Dongmei, actually, when I went to Pengcheng this time, I learned some things from Lao Yao. These things shocked me and made me confused. On the way back, I thought about it all the way, but I couldn't figure it out. I would like you to help me analyze it."

Jin Yueji laughed and said, "Really? If there is anything you can't figure out, come on, tell me about it."

Hao Dongmei was also very curious: "Bingyi, what on earth did Lao Yao tell you that made you think all this time and still couldn't come up with an answer?"

Since Zhou Bingyi had decided to speak out, he did not hesitate any longer.

"It's about something about my brother Zhou Bingkun. Well, it's very, very strange."

Chapter 617 Hao Family Meeting, Yao Lisong Visits

"Zhou Bingkun?"

Hao Dongmei and Jin Yueji were both very surprised when they heard what Zhou Bingyi said.

Especially Hao Dongmei, who was full of surprise and asked: "How is it related to Zhou Bingkun? Does Lao Yao know Zhou Bingkun?"

Zhou Bingyi said: "It is because they don't know each other that Lao Yao wants to get to know Bingkun through me."

Hao Dongmei was even more confused now: "No, Bingyi, Lao Yao is in Pengcheng, Zhou Bingkun is in Yanjing, why would he want to get to know Zhou Bingkun, is he trying to ask him to treat his illness?"

"What kind of illness is he seeking? Who is Lao Yao? If he wants to see a doctor, why can't he go to anyone else? Why does he have to go to Bingkun? He's not seeking medical treatment."

Zhou Bingyi was amused by his wife's idea.

"If it's not medical treatment, then what could it be?"

Hao Dongmei was puzzled, and Jin Yueji was equally curious, as the name Zhou Bingkun had not been mentioned in their family for a long time.

Although Hao's father asked Zhou Bingyi to reconcile with Zhou Chen before he died, Zhou Bingyi himself did not do it, and Jin Yueji certainly would not let Zhou Bingyi do it.

Of course she understood what her husband meant, but her husband was able to take it lightly because he no longer had time. But she was different. She felt that her family did not need to be involved with Zhou Chen at all.

She even had some dark thoughts. She felt that the current situation was very good. Her son-in-law Zhou Bingyi was more dependent on their family. With Zhou Bingyi around, the family would be more lively and she would have someone to talk to.

If that’s the case, why push the son-in-law to the Zhou family?

As for Zhou Bingyi's little thoughts, she naturally saw them clearly, but in this kind of situation, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, and everyone is happy.

Zhou Bingyi slowly told Jin Yueji and Hao Dongmei about his conversation with Yao Lisong. After hearing it, Hao Dongmei's eyes widened, and even the cunning Jin Yueji was shocked.

"Bingyi, you are not kidding, are you?"

"I didn't say that. It was Old Yao who said that. To be honest, I also doubt it very much. But from the look on his face, he doesn't look fake. Mom, what do you think?"

Jin Yueji thought for a while before giving an answer: "Since Yao Lisong told you this, it means he must have done an in-depth investigation. This matter is very likely true. What you dare not believe now is that the person behind Zheng Bowen, the general manager of Chenxing Group, is your brother Zhou Bingkun, right?"

Zhou Bingyi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's it. It's mainly because it's too scary. Lao Yao gave me information about Chenxing Group. On the way back, I read it several times. I only have one thought, the boss of this Chenxing Group is definitely a talent, no, a genius, his business ability is amazing."

"Let's talk about my brother. How should I put it? I admit that he is relatively smart. Otherwise, he would not have been able to enter university with the second-highest college entrance examination score in the province. But he is just a medical student. I have never heard that he has any business acumen. How could he have founded a large group with assets of over 1 billion in just a few years?"

"Yes, yes, I think so too. This is too scary. Over 10 billion, what does this mean? In our Jiangliao Province, there are no such rich people, right?"

Hao Dongmei was no less shocked than Zhou Bingyi, mainly because there was so much money. She was frightened. Although she was the child of a high-ranking official, she had never seen so much money.

Jin Yueji was much calmer. She asked Zhou Bingyi, "Bingyi, do you think you know your brother well?"

"I don't know him very well, but I know him inside and out."

Jin Yueji shook her head and smiled: "If you think so, then I tell you, you are totally wrong."

Zhou Bingyi was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Mom, what do you mean by that? Is there something else about my brother that I don't know?"

Jin Yueji: "I didn't know much about your brother Zhou Bingkun at first, but later I heard some things. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that before he was admitted to university, do you know what he did?"

Hao Dongmei rushed to answer: "Before Zhou Bingkun entered university, didn't he work in a publishing house? Later he became a great poet. Although he is not a good person, his poems and articles are indeed well written."

Jin Yueji shook her head again and said, "These are all true, but how much was the salary at that time? Even if you can make money by writing poems and articles, how much can you earn as a reward? But look at him, not only can he afford a big house, but he also makes his family live better than anyone else. Bingyi, your father did send money home at that time, but how much could he send?"

Zhou Bingyi said: "My father's salary was not low at that time, but I heard from my mother that Bingkun never used the family's money at that time. It was all his own money."

"That's right. I guess at that time your brother not only worked in the publishing house, but also had other ways to make money."

Zhou Bingyi's expression changed: "Speculation?"

"No way?"

Hao Dongmei found it a little hard to believe. Speculation was a serious crime at that time, and she didn't think Zhou Chen had the courage to do that.

Zhou Bingyi's expression kept changing: "If it was someone else, I wouldn't dare to say, but Bingkun is so bold, maybe it's really possible."

Jin Yueji smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. In the past, it was indeed called speculation, but that is a thing of the past. It is no longer popular now. What I want to say is that Zhou Bingkun at that time was able to make money in that special environment, and no one knew about it. How can you say that he has no business acumen?"

Zhou Bingyi asked hesitantly: "Mom, do you mean that my brother might really be the behind-the-scenes boss of Xiangjiang Chenxing Group?"

"That depends on whether the Zheng Bowen you are talking about is your brother's brother-in-law."

Zhou Bingyi: "Old Yao assured me that he was very sure that Zheng Bowen was Zheng Guangming. He brought me the results of his investigation. I looked at it several times. Although the person in the photo has changed a lot, I can be sure that it is Zheng Guangming."

“That would be really interesting.”

Jin Yueji laughed out loud. She agreed with her husband's words, but not completely.

Her husband said that Zhou Chen was capable, visionary and competent, and she did not deny it, but she disagreed if someone said that Zhou Chen was really better than Zhou Bingyi.

But as of now, Zhou Bingyi's achievements are really not as good as Zhou Chen's.

Although Zhou Bingyi is now a deputy director, everyone knows exactly how he got the position of deputy director.

On the other hand, Zhou Chen has supported his family by working hard with his own hands, and now he has even built a behemoth like Chenxing Group. Zhou Bingyi is really far behind him in this regard.

"Mom, that means Zhou Bingkun might really be the behind-the-scenes boss of Chenxing Group, and Zheng Guangming, also known as Zheng Bowen, was pushed out by him?"

Zhou Bingyi actually already had the answer in his mind, but he was too nervous. Now that he heard his mother-in-law mean the same thing, his mood became much more complicated.

Jin Yueji gave the answer: "If Zheng Bowen is Zheng Guangming, then it is nine out of ten."

"This, this is too..."

Hao Dongmei was dumbfounded, because this completely subverted her three views. She was now wondering how much money ten billion was.

It’s not that she is too vulgar, but anyone would involuntarily have similar thoughts when hearing the news.

Zhou Bingyi remained silent, no one knew what he was thinking, while Jin Yueji kept sighing.

"Interesting, really interesting. It seems your father was right about Zhou Bingkun. I'm just curious, how does he control everything in Yanjing? Isn't he afraid that his brother-in-law will collude with him and sideline him?"

Zhou Bingyi explained: "I have met Zheng Juan's brother Zheng Guangming. He is a kind and honest guy."

Jin Yueji sneered: "Honest and kind? What kind of honest and kind can be maintained in the face of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars? So your brother is definitely not relying on family affection and kindness to maintain his relationship. He must have his own methods. But no matter what the method is, I have to say that I admire him. This kind of scheming is seriously inconsistent with his age."

Zhou Bingyi sighed, "If all this is what we think, then I really need to re-evaluate my brother. He hid it well enough."

Hao Dongmei was annoyed when she heard this: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Lao Yao asked you to help contact Zhou Bingkun. Don't tell me that you promised him?"

"No, how could that be possible? You know the relationship between Bingkun and I now. How could I agree to Lao Yao's request?"

"It's good that you didn't agree. Zhou Bingyi, I'm warning you, even if Zhou Bingkun is really the boss of the Chenxing Group, don't go looking for him, otherwise people will think that we are coming to him eagerly because we want his money. I can't do such a shameful thing. I still have my dignity to protect."

Even though she knew Zhou Chen was rich, Hao Dongmei's opinion of him remained unchanged. Instead, she wanted to distance herself from him.

Jin Yueji looked at her daughter and shook her head. She knew that her daughter was mentally unbalanced.

"Bingyi, don't listen to Dongmei. You two are brothers. No matter how fierce the fight is, you are still brothers. If he really has such a big group under his control, then it's a good thing."

Hao Dongmei was unhappy: "What good news? Mom, you won't forget what he did to you and Dad, right?"

Jin Yueji pushed her glasses and said calmly, "Let's put things in perspective. What Jiangliao Province lacks most right now is investment. If you can convince Zhou Bingkun to invest in Jiangliao Province, you can put aside the conflict between you for now. After all, compared to personal gains and losses, national affairs must be put first."

After hearing this, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei responded differently.

Zhou Bingyi looked thoughtful, while Hao Dongmei became extremely anxious.

"Mom, you can't be like this, Bingyi, you can't do that. I can't afford to lose face."

…………

Zheng Guangming stayed in Yanjing for two days, and then went to Pengcheng and began to discuss investment matters with the leaders of Pengcheng. Everything was carried out according to Zhou Chen's plan.

I have to say that if you come to the mainland to invest at this time, especially as a Hong Kong compatriot, the preferential treatment you will receive is really extraordinary.
