When everyone was persuading Han Chunming, Zhou Chen said nothing and his presence was extremely low.
This is also his usual style in the Han family. He doesn't want to stand out. He has many brothers and sisters, and they may have deep feelings, but there will also be many gaps between them. He doesn't want to cause trouble.
But sometimes it’s not that he doesn’t speak, others just ignore him.
Mrs. Han glanced at Zhou Chen, and suddenly her eyes turned, with a smile on her face, she asked Zhou Chen with a smile: "Second brother-in-law, I heard that your Zhou's store opened another branch not long ago. Counting this new one, Zhou's small commodity store has opened five stores in Yanjing, right?"
More than two years have passed, and Zhou's Commodity Store has expanded from the original two to three branches, and now has a total of five.
Who is Zhou Chen? As soon as you hear the tone of the sisters-in-law around you, you know what she is thinking.
"That should be the case. My sister manages the store, so I don't know much."
Mrs. Han smiled and continued, "I heard that your small commodity store is very popular and can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year."
Hearing this number, everyone in the Han family had different expressions.
Brothers and sisters like Han Chunsong, Han Chunsong and Han Chunxue all looked envious. Hundreds of thousands, this was a number they would never dare to imagine in their entire lives.
Han Chunyan was lucky. Although she didn't know the truth, the money Zhou Chen gave her was tens of thousands. Even though it was not as much as hundreds of thousands, she did not show any envy.
Han Chunming, on the other hand, had a nonchalant expression on his face. He was a man of hidden talents, and he also knew Zhou City Small Commodity Store, but in fact Zhou Chen was the big boss.
Han's mother is old, and money is no longer of much concern to her. She thinks more about her children.
Zhou Chen's expression was calm, and he said, "I really don't know about this."
Seeing that Zhou Chen was not taking the bait and looked indifferent, Mrs. Han could no longer hold back.
"Second brother-in-law, you may not know this, but I have been laid off and still have no job. Can you recommend me to work in your store? I don't need to be a good sister-in-law, I just want to be a store manager."
Hearing this, Zhou Chen almost couldn't help but splash her in the face. She was really shameless. She didn't want to be a good person, but just wanted to be a store manager.
Looking at Mrs. Han’s sarcastic face, I really want to ask, are you worthy of it?
When Han Chunxue, the eldest sister of the Han family, heard what her sister-in-law said, she immediately became excited and said to Zhou Chen: "Brother-in-law, our factory is no longer doing well and we can't even pay our wages. Can you help me get a job in the store? I don't want to be a store manager, I just want to be a manager."
Han Chunsheng's face was also full of anxiety: "Brother-in-law, I am the same, I will be laid off soon, please help me too, we are all family, we are definitely more trustworthy than outsiders."
"Yes, brother-in-law, we are all family. Instead of letting outsiders make money, it is better for us to make money, don't you think?" Mrs. Han said shamelessly.
"Zhou Chen, what your sister-in-law and the others said makes sense. If you can help, please help them."
Han Chunsong acted like the boss of the Han family and gave orders to Zhou Chen.
Listening to their words, Zhou Chen did not answer, but his eyes slowly narrowed. He finally understood that the reason for today's dinner was probably because of this matter.
He glanced at Han's mother aside, and found that she was shocked, and she didn't seem to be fake. It seemed that even her old mother didn't know the purpose of the children.
Han Chunming stopped eating and slowly put down his chopsticks. He knew Zhou Chen's ability and he was actually not opposed to asking Zhou Chen to help his brothers and sisters.
It’s just that the demands of my sister-in-law, eldest sister and second brother are really too much. They are store managers and managers. This is not the attitude of begging for help at all.
On one side were his own brothers and sisters, and on the other side was his brother-in-law and good friend. He couldn't say anything and could only remain silent.
However, Han Chunyan, who was holding her son, turned red with anger.
"Brother, sister-in-law, elder sister, second brother, what are you doing? Zhou Chen never asks about the store. It's useless for you to look for him like this."
Mrs. Han retorted, "How can it be useless? That's his biological sister. My brother-in-law is the only son of the Zhou family. His sister will definitely listen to him. Besides, we are all brothers and sisters. We are all family, so we should help each other."
Han Chunxue also agreed: "Yes, Chunyan, your family has become rich, but you can't forget us. Take us with you."
Han Chunsheng also said: "Sister, I am your biological brother, family members should help each other, Mom, don't you think this is the truth?"
Wow, he even carried his old mother out.
Han's mother didn't look very happy. She looked at her children, then at her second daughter, and finally her eyes fell on Zhou Chen.
"Zhou Chen, your sister-in-law and elder sister do have a hard time, but don't make it too difficult for them. If possible, just let them work as cashiers or something."
Zhou Chen felt unhappy. Although he understood that Han's mother did this for the sake of her children, he would definitely feel uncomfortable if this happened to him.
But before he could say anything, Han Chunyan spoke first.
"Mom, it's not as simple as you think. I've been to my sister's store, and they recruit cashiers who are all in their twenties. My eldest sister-in-law and eldest sister are already forty years old, which doesn't meet the requirements at all."
Mrs. Han said dissatisfiedly: "We are all relatives. Since you can't be a cashier, you can still be a store manager or something like that."
Han Chunyan said bluntly: "The store managers of other stores are all college students. Sister-in-law, can you compare with them?"
Mrs. Han was so angry that her face changed immediately. She screamed, "What's wrong with being a college student? I just studied a few more days. I can do things no worse than them."
After that, she said sinisterly: "Chunyan, you married Zhou Chen and now you have a good life. Instead of helping us brothers and sisters, you make all kinds of excuses. What do you mean?"
Han Chunsheng also said dissatisfiedly: "Chunyan, what the sister-in-law said makes sense. Now that you are rich, you should not forget us and should help us."
Han Chunyan said angrily, "How am I rich? Am I not in class now and am I taking care of the kids at home? Our family relies on Zhou Chen to earn money to support the family. How is our family better than yours?"
Mrs. Han said sarcastically, "How good is that? We all ride broken bicycles when we go out, but you guys drive cars when you go out. How can that be bad?"
"That car was given to us by Sister Zhou Chen. We didn't buy it ourselves." Han Chunyan said loudly.
"Since my brother-in-law's sister can give us such a nice car, why can't they arrange a job for us?"
"Sister-in-law, you, you are making up stories."
Although Han Chunyan is also a good speaker, she is no match for her unreasonable and sarcastic sister-in-law.
Seeing his wife suffer a loss, Zhou Chen's expression turned cold.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you may not know that my sister's chain store has clear hierarchies. Even the store managers and management staff are promoted from the most ordinary employees. Only college students are given some preferential treatment, but it is limited."
"If you are interested, I can talk to my sister for you. But even if my sister is willing to let you work there for my sake, you can only start as a low-level employee. If you are capable, there will be room for promotion in the future. If your work ability is average, I am afraid you can only be an ordinary employee."
When they heard that they could only be ordinary employees and that their abilities would be required for future promotion, Mrs. Han and the others all looked particularly unhappy.
"Brother-in-law, we are brothers and sisters. It's okay to open a back door, right?"
Zhou Chen said calmly: "If it is my property, there will be no problem, but it is my sister's property, and I can't interfere."
Mrs. Han's face fell all of a sudden, and she said in a gloomy tone: "Sure enough, even brothers and sisters are unreliable now. Let's find a way ourselves."
She wanted to go through the back door just to get a better position. She wouldn't be willing to go if she was just an ordinary employee.
Zhou Chen sneered at this ruthless behavior, while Han Chunyan, who was very cunning, looked very ugly.
Han Chunxue and Han Chunsheng had similar ideas to Han Dasao. Seeing that there was no hope, they lost their enthusiasm for Zhou Chen.
After the meal, everyone left.
When Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan left, Han's mother was still holding them back.
"Zhou Chen, your elder brother and sister-in-law didn't mean it, so don't blame them."
Zhou Chen smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Mom, I don't blame them, I just..., I'm sorry to embarrass you."
After saying goodbye to Han's mother, Han Chunming saw Zhou Chen and the others off. Zhou Chen saw that Han Chunming had something to say to him, so he let Han Chunyan get in the car first.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, hemming and hawing."
Han Chunming said: "I know Zhou's Commodity Store, you are the big boss, even if you don't want my sister-in-law and sister to be store managers, you can arrange easy jobs for them, after all, we are brothers and sisters."
Zhou Chen patted his shoulder and said, "You think too simply. It's hard for a judge to judge family affairs. I know you think I'm heartless, but I can only tell you that this is better for them. If I really let them go, it will be more troublesome."
"It's just a few jobs, what kind of trouble can it be?" Han Chunming still feels that feelings are more important.
Zhou Chen sneered and said, "One pot... Never mind. When you encounter the same thing in the future, you will understand what I said. Go back. We are leaving."
Han Chunming watched Zhou Chen drive away, still feeling a little uncomfortable.
At this time, he had not experienced these things yet and always felt that the relationship between brothers and sisters was more important.
Zhou Chen also saw through his good-natured mentality, so he didn't say more to him. It would be useless even if he said anything.
This incident made Han Chunyan angry for a long time, and she was in a bad mood for several days.
It's not that she disregards the friendship between brothers and sisters, but she doesn't want to make things difficult for her husband. After all, once the elder sister-in-law and others start talking, they will be the ones who have to ask for help in the end.
Between her brothers and sisters and her husband, she would definitely choose her husband without hesitation.
For Zhou Chen, this incident also made him very unhappy, but he was not really ruthless.
If he could help, he would definitely do his best, but looking at the attitudes of those people, it didn't look like they were asking for help, it was as if they were ordering him.
He is not a saint like Han Chunming. You have made me angry, so why should I help you?
Because of this incident, Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan did not go to the Han family compound for the next two or three months, nor did they have any contact with the Han family's brothers and sisters.
Han Chunming was not affected and still often came to eat and visit Zhou Chen's collection room to admire it.
But every time he went to the collection room, Zhou Chen or Han Chunyan would keep an eye on him. Several times he was discovered and severely punished.
Han Chunming is single now, so all his attention is focused on making money and collecting antiques.
In order to collect antiques, he specially bought a yard in the countryside to store his treasures.
At the same time, he was planning a big operation recently, but he couldn't handle it alone, so he found Yang Huajian.
Naturally, Yang Huajian would not object to Han Chunming's offer to partner with him in business. Although he is still working in a government agency, his mind is no longer on it.
Because he saw that Zhou Chen and Han Chunming were both getting rich, he couldn't wait any longer. If it weren't for the pressure from his old man at home, he might have gone into the sea business long ago.
Now that Han Chunming took the initiative to find him, he certainly would not refuse, and the two of them hit it off immediately.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 662: No rules, no order
Han Chunming and Yang Huajian sat together for dinner and discussed the business cooperation.
Suddenly Yang Huajian asked Han Chunming: "Chunming, are we really not going to let Zhou Chen participate in this matter? He has a lot of assets. If he joins, we will definitely make more money this time."
He was not opposed to doing business with Han Chunming because Han Chunming was a reliable person.
But he still felt that Zhou Chen was more reliable, because he had worked with Zhou Chen before, and Zhou Chen was very strong and the richest among them.
So he felt that if he brought Zhou Chen along, it might be safer and he could earn more.
Han Chunming said: "No, he is afraid of trouble and definitely doesn't want to go to Qiong Province with us, not to mention that we may be gone for a long time this time."
"Then you can let him invest some money. I think he will definitely be willing to make money."
"No, I can't tell him. If I tell him, it means my second sister will definitely know. Once my second sister knows, my mother and the others will definitely know. No, no."
Han Chunming shook his head repeatedly. If Zhou Chen was not his brother-in-law, he would definitely find a way to bring Zhou Chen along. But now that Zhou Chen was his brother-in-law, he thought it would be better to be cautious so as to avoid worrying his family.
"Not really. Zhou Chen should be very tight-lipped."
"Just in case. Okay, this time the two of us are enough. At worst, we can earn less, and this way we can take less risk."
This time they were planning to go to Qiong Province to import cars. He was responsible for paying the money, finding suppliers, etc.; while Yang Huajian was responsible for handling various procedures, as well as the subsequent sales of the cars, etc.
Yang Huajian thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. With fewer people, he could earn more. Who doesn’t want to earn more money?
"That's right. Zhou Chen is very rich now. Even if we tell him, he may not be interested in our business."
"Let's not waste any more time. Let's go back and prepare. We'll set off in a few days."
"Okay, then it's settled."
Zhou Chen was unaware of Han Chunming and Yang Huajian's actions. He was still teaching at the university. He took his wife and children out for a stroll on weekends and took two days every month to visit a few stores. His life was simple and fulfilling.
Having lived in so many worlds and for so many years, he had already passed that period of confusion. If he had free time, he would find something to do for himself so that he would not be too idle.
Han Chunyan is indeed a capable householder. When she is alone at home, she keeps the house clean and tidy, takes good care of the children, and even prepares Zhou Chen's meals every day. She basically doesn't let Zhou Chen do anything, and at most she just asks him to help take care of the children.
Zhou Chen knew very well how difficult it was to raise a child, so he was very touched by Han Chunyan. He tried his best to relieve Han Chunyan's pressure and would take her out for a drive and have fun during his breaks.
"Zhou Chen, can you contact Xiao Wu?"
During dinner, Han Chunyan suddenly asked Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen asked in surprise: "What happened? He disappeared again?"
"Yes, my mom said that Xiaowu told her that he was going out for a while, but he didn't say when he would be back. It's been almost ten days, and there's no news at all. So my mom is quite anxious and asked me if you can contact him."
Zhou Chen frowned slightly: "You know, this guy doesn't even have a pager. I can't find him even if I want to."
Han Chunming's problem is indeed very serious. Some things can be concealed, but some things still need to be made clear.
You said you just disappeared casually without leaving any contact information, how could your family not be worried?
Although Su Meng is acting a bit pretentious, you really can't blame Su Meng in this matter. If any boyfriend or girlfriend disappears for a while without telling you the reason, what would you think?
Han Chunyan angrily scolded: "This Xiaowu is not a worry at all. He is already over 30 years old, but he disappears all day long. It makes people angry to death."
