Zhou Chen had just finished the operation and returned to the office to rest.

He has been working in the hospital's oncology department for more than six years and is now an associate chief physician. Looking at the entire oncology department, he has the most scheduled surgeries and many people seek him out for treatment.

Nowadays, as long as he is at work, he is very busy most of the time and has very little free time.

To be honest, after several years of such high-intensity work, he felt exhausted.

He hadn't complained before because he wanted to enrich his experience through surgery, but over the past few years, he felt that it was difficult for him to make any progress.

Mainly because I have reached the limit of this body.

Surgery depends on talent and experience, and human talent is limited. For example, his hand speed is only so fast. Even if he practices a lot, once he reaches the limit of his talent, it will be basically impossible for him to be promoted.

Zhou Chen’s talent has now reached its limit and his experience is extremely rich, so he feels tired and even a little bored.

Anyone who does the same thing intensively every day will feel bored. He is here to experience life, not to suffer. There is no need to keep oppressing himself.

Having worked as a doctor for several worlds, his biggest feeling is that he is busy and tired.

After all, he is different from those doctors who work for money and prospects. He is not short of money. He has been one of the top doctors in the country and has received many honors.

The most important thing is that his mission in this world is to give Zheng Juan a better life. However, after so many years, he feels that he has given Zheng Juan a better life, but the system has not prompted that the mission is completed.

He thought about it for a long time and felt that this mission would most likely require him to accompany Zheng Juan for the rest of her life, until the end.

But in recent years, he has been basically busy with hospital affairs and rarely spent time with Zheng Juan. He feels that he should spend more time with Zheng Juan.

"The old man will retire next year, so it's time to think about it."

Thinking about the current time, Zhou Chen slowly made a decision in his heart.

"Dong dong."

"Enter."

"Director Zhou, someone is looking for you."

"patient?"

"No, it was a gentleman. He said his last name was Yao, and he was a friend of your eldest brother. He came to see you on purpose."

After hearing what the intern said, Zhou Chen thought about it and remembered someone.

"I see. Bring him over here. I may need to talk to him later. Don't let anyone else in."

"Okay, Director Zhou, I'll go right away."

Soon, a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hair walked in with a briefcase. When he saw Zhou Chen standing up, he approached him enthusiastically and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Doctor Zhou. Hello, I'm Yao Lisong. I'm sorry for the intrusion."

Zhou Chen shook hands with him, then pointed to the chair opposite him: "It's okay, Mr. Yao, hello, please sit down."

Yao Lisong sat down with a smile on his face. "Doctor Zhou, I have actually wanted to visit you for a long time, because I heard Bingyi say many years ago that you are a famous poet and writer in China. Although I am a rough man, my wife is an intellectual. She has told me more than once that she wants to meet you. The poems you write are number one in China."

Zhou Chen said politely: "Thank you for your compliment. Thank you for your compliment. That was all due to my youthful recklessness. I won't do that now."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhou Chen asked, "Mr. Yao, are you here to see me today for medical treatment?"

"no no."

Yao Lisong quickly waved his hands and said, "You must be joking. This is the oncology department. Coming here to see a doctor is like cursing yourself."

"Doctor Zhou, I'm here to visit you today because I want to talk to you about something. I wonder if it's convenient for you tonight. I'd like to treat you to a meal and we can talk while we eat."

Zhou Chen, who had watched the TV series, naturally knew exactly who Yao Lisong was. This man was greedy, but one had to admit that he was a powerful figure.

He has been in charge of the Shangneng Group for decades without any failure. This is a skill that not everyone can possess.

Although Zhou Bingyi persuaded him to surrender himself at the end of the TV series, this ending is just for fun. He has been in power for decades without any setbacks. Do you really think he has no backup plan? Would he be persuaded by Zhou Bingyi's few words?

He remembered that Shangneng Group was located in Pengcheng and was a very powerful company. He was about to enter Pengcheng, and Yao Lisong, the local tyrant, might be able to help him a lot.

"Since Mr. Yao has brought up my eldest brother, how can I not give him this honor?"

Zhou Chen checked the time and said, "I have another operation to be performed later, which will probably end around seven o'clock. If Mr. Yao doesn't mind..."

Yao Lisong said quickly, "Don't mind, don't mind. Then I'll go book a hotel first and pick you up later."

"No need. Just give my office a call when the time comes. There aren't many places in Yanjing that I can't find."

"That's great, Dr. Zhou. Let's make it a deal. I'll wait for you."

"no problem."

After seeing Yao Lisong off, Zhou Chen fell into deep thought. Yao Lisong's sudden visit must have come with a purpose.

And they had never met before, so there was only one possibility, that Yao Lisong might have found out about the situation of Chenxing Group and guessed his relationship with Chenxing Group.

Zhou Chen was not surprised by this. Although Zheng Guangming changed his name and settled in Hong Kong, it would not be too difficult for those people in the agency to investigate.

If we can find Zheng Guangming, we can naturally find out their relationship, and thus make associations, which is also very likely.

"He's a smart guy. If you want to talk, then let's talk."

When doing business, as long as it does not harm others, it does not matter who you cooperate with, as long as you can achieve your goal.

"Ding ding ding..."

The phone suddenly rang, Zhou Chen answered the call, and half a minute later, his expression became very strange.

"Why did Feng Huacheng invite me to dinner?"

The person who just called him was Feng Huacheng, and he actually wanted to have dinner with him, which made him very strange.

Although they lived in the same city, they did not have much contact with each other. Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng would only see him during the Chinese New Year or other holidays, or when they went to visit Feng Yue.

This was the first time that someone called him specifically to ask him out for dinner without Zhou Rong.

Zhou Chen didn't know what Feng Huacheng was up to, but he still agreed, because Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng hadn't caused him any trouble in the past few years. Instead, they were very polite to him, so he just regarded it as giving him face.

He didn't have long to think about it, because he immediately entered the operating room again.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 618 Cooperation, at the end of 87, preparing to return to Jichun

"Doctor Zhou, come in, please come in quickly."

Yao Lisong warmly invited Zhou Chen to walk into the private room. If he had some doubts before coming, he no longer had any doubts after meeting Zhou Chen.

He has been in both the government and business circles, and has achieved considerable success, so he has quite a good eye.

"Mr. Yao, since you are friends with my eldest brother, you are also my friend. Just call me Bingkun."

Yao Lisong laughed happily: "Okay, that's great. I won't be polite then. Bingkun, just call me Lao Yao like your elder brother."

While he was happy, he was also worried in his heart. Zhou Bingyi had told him before that he had a conflict with his younger brother. They had not seen or spoken to each other for several years and their relationship was very strained.

But looking at Zhou Chen's expression in front of him, it didn't look like he was in conflict with Zhou Bingyi at all. When he mentioned Zhou Bingyi, there was no hesitation or change at all, and it was very natural.

But he felt that Zhou Bingyi would not lie to him.

"Okay, then I'll be generous and call you Old Yao."

In fact, Yao Lisong is much older than Zhou Bingyi, and more than ten years older than Zhou Chen. If you convert the numbers, he can be considered an elder.

"Waiter, serve the food."

Yao Lisong shouted to the waiter outside the door, and then said, "Bingkun, I have never been to this place, but I heard from my friends that their food is good."

Although Zhou Chen had been to Yanjing, he had not been there very often in the 1980s. However, he still knew a lot about Yanjing's famous restaurants, mainly because he often ate there with Wan Shibing and his group.

He happened to be in this restaurant before, so he smiled and said, "Although the taste here is not top-notch, it is also pretty good."

"Haha, once I see you, Bingkun, I know you have a way with food. It's great to be young and have such a good appetite."

Both of them were experienced businessmen and were very patient. Yao Lisong did not speak first and Zhou Chen did not ask anything. The two of them just ate and drank.

Yao Lisong was also a talkative person. He kept telling Zhou Chen about his relationship with Zhou Bingyi in the Corps, and also told Zhou Chen about the current development of Pengcheng.

Zhou Chen listened with a smile on his face, responding from time to time, and the atmosphere did not seem awkward.

It was not until the dinner was almost over that Yao Lisong started to get to the point.

"Bingkun, actually, I came to you this time because I want to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation, Lao Yao, I am just a doctor, how can we cooperate?"

Although Zhou Chen guessed that Yao Lisong had guessed his identity, he did not admit it.

Yao Lisong smiled and said, "Bingkun, let's not talk in code anymore. You should be the behind-the-scenes boss of the Xiangjiang Chenxing Group, right?"

Zhou Chen gave Yao Lisong a thumbs up and praised him, "Great! I've heard that Chairman Yao of Shangneng Group is a great man. Now that I've met him, I really admire him."

Yao Lisong asked in surprise: "Do you know my identity?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You already know my identity, so if I don't know your identity, wouldn't it be too rude? To be honest, I have already asked people to conduct research on Pengcheng, so I know you, Lao Yao."

"admire."

Yao Lisong was surprised that Zhou Chen actually knew him. It seemed that Zhou Chen had indeed conducted in-depth research on Pengcheng.

However, he did not ask further. Zhou Chen did not come forward himself, but instead let his brother-in-law take the stage, and even settled his brother-in-law in Hong Kong. This shows that Zhou Chen is very clear about how big the preferential policies are for investors from outside the mainland, and he is definitely targeting this point.

"In that case, I'll be frank. Bingkun, since you have conducted research on Pengcheng, does that mean that your Chenxing Group has the intention to invest in Pengcheng?"

"Yes, I do have the intention to invest in Pengcheng, but whether it will be successful in the end will depend on the local situation. At the latest next year, I should go to Pengcheng in person."

Yao Lisong was shocked. He heard what he wanted to hear the most, so he asked impatiently: "Bingkun, can you tell me which industry you plan to enter if you enter Pengcheng?"

Zhou Chen looked at him with a half-smile: "Old Yao, this is our company's secret."

Yao Lisong did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he said frankly, "Bingkun, your brother and I are comrades-in-arms and close friends. Based on our relationship, we are definitely closer than those with others. I have been in Pengcheng for quite a few years and I think I have some connections. I should be able to help you out a little. I..."

"Real estate, pharmaceutical factory."

Yao Lisong's tone suddenly froze, and he immediately asked, "Bingkun, are you saying that you are planning to get involved in Pengcheng Real Estate and build a pharmaceutical factory?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes, it's real estate and pharmaceutical factories."

Yao Lisong immediately started thinking. He thought about the structure of Chenxing Group. Chenxing Pharmaceutical could definitely be ranked first. As for the real estate company, it was not well-known in Hong Kong.

However, he did not doubt the strength of Chenxing Group. Moreover, Chenxing Real Estate Company was not well-known, but that was for big companies in Hong Kong. It was another matter in China.

"Bingkun, is it really profitable to do real estate in Pengcheng?"

The domestic real estate industry is still in its infancy and is far behind Hong Kong, so Yao Lisong is not sure.

But Zhou Chen just smiled. No one knew better than him how profitable the real estate industry was, especially in its early stages. If one could get enough land, he would definitely make a fortune in the future.

"I can't say whether I made any money or not, but I just want to get involved in real estate. Lao Yao, I'm telling you the truth because of your close relationship with my eldest brother. I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

"That's for sure. Don't worry. I, Yao, am very tight-lipped."

Yao Lisong patted his chest to assure him, and then said, "Real estate is easy to deal with, but if you want to open a pharmaceutical factory in Pengcheng, this will be a bit troublesome."

Zhou Chen said calmly: "I know it's a little difficult, but everything depends on human effort. As long as we give enough benefits, I believe there is still a chance."

No matter which country, pharmaceutical factories are subject to strict controls. Unlike other industries, you can’t just open one whenever you want. The procedures involved are quite cumbersome.

Yao Lisong's eyes turned and he said, "Bingkun, if you want to open a pharmaceutical factory, I can help you a little."

Zhou Chen said: "Lao Yao, although you and my brother are close friends, I always believe that there is no free lunch in the world."

"Hahaha……"

Yao Lisong laughed: "You are a quick-witted person, Bingkun. You are better than Bingyi in this respect. Since you have made it clear, I will also speak frankly. I can help, but if you have the opportunity to make a fortune, Bingkun, I wonder if you can give me a share of it?"

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Why, Lao Yao, you are a state official. If this gets out, it will be a mistake."

Yao Lisong was not worried at all: "It's just friends helping each other, how can it be considered a mistake, Bingkun, I dare not brag about other things, but in Pengcheng, I, Yao Lisong, definitely have some face. If we cooperate, it will definitely be helpful to your Chenxing Group."

"I don't expect to get a stake or anything like that. I just hope that while you're making money, you can think of me and guide me. That will make me satisfied."

The words had been said so bluntly, Yao Lisong did not say anything else. He just stared at Zhou Chen without blinking, waiting for Zhou Chen's answer.

Whether to continue the discussion or part ways depends on what Zhou Chen says.

Zhou Chen said, "Old Yao, when I do business, I believe in making money together. In a word, as long as you can help Chenxing Group quickly take root in Pengcheng and settle the official affairs, I can make the decision and I will definitely not lose any benefits."

"Got it."

Yao Lisong slapped his thigh happily and laughed, "That's right, Bingkun, you are still straightforward. Don't worry, I, Yao Lisong, keep my words. Since I dare to boast, I will definitely do it."

Zhou Chen nodded: "Okay, then I will call Bowen and ask you to meet. Let's start with this. I will deal with the follow-up matters slowly after I arrive in Pengcheng. But you can rest assured. I dare not say anything else, but in terms of making money, I will definitely satisfy you."
