Chen Daguang sat a little stiffly. He had been at this construction site for a long time and naturally knew Zhou Chen's status here. It was absolutely final and everyone called him "Mr. Zhou" when they saw him.

Not to mention that he now needs Zhou Chen's help, so his attitude is naturally more humble.

Zhou Chen didn't beat around the bush with Chen Daguang, and took the initiative to ask: "Daguang, I heard from Qiaogu that you are not satisfied with what you are doing now?"

Chen Daguang said embarrassedly: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, brother, it's mainly because I feel that working on the construction site all the time really has no future, and I want to change my way of life."

"Change your way of life, that's a good idea."

Zhou Chen smiled. What do you mean by changing the way you live? If this was said by a middle-aged man with rich experience, it would be somewhat credible, but how old is Chen Daguang?

It is really inappropriate for a person in his early twenties to say such things. After all, he just feels that working on a construction site is too hard and tiring, and he wants to switch to a job that is easy and can make a lot of money.

"So what do you want to do, or what can you do? If you have any ideas, you can talk to me now."

Chen Daguang looked embarrassed: "Brother, you know me well. I grew up in Chenjia Village. I have no education, no knowledge, and no education. You came back from a big city and lived in Hong Kong. You must know more than me. You should give me some advice."

Zhou Chen was not surprised by this answer. Due to his limited knowledge and experience, Chen Daguang's vision was still too narrow.

"Since you call me brother, I will tell you the truth. If it were a big city, such as the capital, Hong Kong or other big cities, I could tell you many ways to make a fortune. But in Yiwu, this place is too small. At present, there are too few directions for development."

"If you insist on me giving you one, I can only tell you that if you don't have money to invest, the best option is to set up a stall and do business. After the trade city opens, you can rent a stall and run it well. There is still a future."

"Rent a stall to sell small commodities?" Chen Daguang looked incredulous. He didn't expect Zhou Chen to give this answer.

You have to know that a year ago, he also sold things with Chen Jianghe. He felt that it was okay to earn some living expenses, but he couldn't make a lot of money at all.

He wanted to be like Zhou Chen, able to drive a car when going out, sit in an office when working, and be able to command people anytime and anywhere.

He didn't say anything about setting up a stall to sell small commodities, but he had already ruled it out in his mind.

Zhou Chen saw through Chen Daguang’s thoughts at a glance, and found that he was indeed an ambitious person.

"Don't want to do it?"

Chen Daguang smiled embarrassedly. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.

However, Qiaogu glared at Chen Daguang with dissatisfaction. She was much more sober than Chen Daguang and knew that Zhou Chen would definitely not agree to help if she hadn't begged.

As a result, Zhou Chen is now helping to give advice. Even if you don’t agree, you have to pretend.

Zhou Chen nodded to show that he understood, and then proposed a plan.

"Well, Mr. Xu from Hong Kong will come to Yiwu in a few days. He travels between Hong Kong and the mainland, and he must know more about ways to make money than I do. When he comes, I will arrange for you to receive him. When the time comes, you can ask him for advice. For my sake, he will definitely talk to you. What do you think?"

When Chen Daguang heard this, his eyes lit up. Of course he knew who Mr. Xu Zhou Chen was talking about. That was their current investment boss Xu Ruijie, Boss Xu.

Even Zhou Chen, the most amazing person in his eyes, was helping Xu Ruijie. If he had the opportunity to hang out with Xu Ruijie, given his intelligence, he might be able to do as well as Zhou Chen in the future.

Thinking of this, he immediately nodded frantically: "Okay, I think it's great, brother, leave this matter to me, I will definitely entertain Mr. Xu well."

He agreed quickly, but Qiaogu hesitated and said, "Brother, Mr. Xu is a big boss in Hong Kong, he is well-informed, can Daguang do it?"

Chen Daguang suddenly became anxious and kept winking at Qiaogu. He was very worried that this rare opportunity would be ruined by Qiaogu.

Zhou Chen said: "Since Daguang has this confidence, let him try it. Anyway, I won't have much time by then, so let him entertain Mr. Xu on my behalf."

Introducing Chen Daguang to Xu Ruijie was the idea he had thought of yesterday. He knew that Chen Daguang had ulterior motives. If he could stay with Xu Ruijie, his heart would surely become restless, and he would be prone to making mistakes, which would give Qiaogu a chance to see Chen Daguang's true face.

Although doing so may be a bit calculated, Qiaogu is after all the only cousin he has a relationship with in this world. For Qiaogu's sake, he is still willing to do this.

"Don't do anything else these days. Come here every day to practice driving. Once you learn how to drive, you can work behind Mr. Xu."

"No problem, bro. I can learn it right now."

Chen Daguang felt that his body was full of strength and now he wanted to do great things.

After deciding this matter, Chen Daguang left with a smile on his face and full of gratitude.

After dealing with Chen Daguang's matter, Zhou Chen was ready to take action against Zhou Yong and his wife. Revenge has always been one of his styles.

He inherited everything from his predecessor, so naturally he had to take responsibility for seeking justice for his predecessor and making Zhou Yong and his wife pay the price. This was seeking justice.

In a private room of a state-owned restaurant, Zhou Chen met the person he had an appointment with, a middle-aged man with a big belly.

As soon as this person saw Zhou Chen, he came forward to greet him enthusiastically and shook hands with Zhou Chen.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I have heard a lot about you."

"Hello, Director Guan. It's great to meet you. Please take a seat."

Zhou Chen invited the other party to sit down, then said with a smile: "Director Guan, please forgive me for my presumptuous invitation."

Director Guan said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, you are joking. I should feel honored to meet with Mr. Zhou. I don't know how many people want to meet with Mr. Zhou now, but they don't have the chance. Mr. Zhou is looking for me, which means he is giving me a huge honor."

Zhou Chen has been one of the benchmark figures in Yiwu for more than a year. Especially when Xie Shuji was vigorously developing the economy of Yiwu, Zhou Chen, as the spokesperson of the big boss of Hong Kong, attracted countless attention. I don't know how many people are staring at him.

As the director of a state-owned factory, although he has a fixed position, who would not want to do so if there is a chance to expand the factory?

Therefore, big investors like the boss of Xiangjiang are quite welcome even in state-owned factories.

"Director Guan, you are too polite. I am just an employee. I am not a big shot. I cannot compare with leaders like you. I cannot compare."

As he spoke, Zhou Chen called over the waiters and asked them to start serving the dishes.

The service attitude of today's state-owned restaurants is much better than that of many years ago when "it was forbidden to beat customers without reason".

During the meal, Zhou Chen and Director Guan chatted enthusiastically. Both of them were talkative people, so even

Chapter 788 Punishing Zhou Yong, Chen Daguang is proud

After three rounds of drinks, Director Guan began to lose his temper.

"Boss Zhou, I heard that your eldest brother is the workshop director in our factory. It's my fault. I should have asked him to come with me today."

Zhou Chen saw that Director Guan mentioned Zhou Yong before he even opened his mouth. He understood that Director Guan wanted to use the relationship between him and Zhou Yong to bring them closer.

"Director Guan, you are too polite. It's not just Zhou Yong. My father also worked in your factory before. If I wasn't so young at the time, I might have taken over my father's job."

"Oh, really? Haha, then it's really fate."

Director Guan was very surprised. He had been in this factory for less than ten years, and Zhou Yong had been taking over before he came. So he really didn't know much about this matter. He only knew that Zhou Yong, Zhou Chen's elder brother, was the workshop director in their factory.

He was so polite to Zhou Chen because he had something to ask for. He was the director of a state-owned factory, so it might not be convenient for him to directly attract investment, but he had made inquiries.

Xu Ruijie, the big boss in Hong Kong, is very powerful. Now there are too many goods piled up in their factory, and they cannot sell them all with their strength.

The goods cannot be sold, but production cannot be completely stopped, which causes the situation to keep getting bigger and bigger, and the factory naturally becomes increasingly difficult to sustain.

What he was thinking about was whether he could use Zhou Chen's connections to help their factory find sales channels. He was confident that the quality of his factory's goods was very good, but they just lacked connections.

As for Zhou Chen, although he had no specific knowledge of their machinery factory, he was certainly familiar with the problems they encountered.

"Yes, it is fate, Director Guan, we got along very well today, so I won't hide it from you. Actually, I came to you this time because I want to ask you for help with a small matter."

Director Guan's eyes sparkled. "Boss Zhou is so polite. Just tell me what you want me to do. As long as I can do it, I will do it without hesitation."

"Director Guan, thank you very much."

Zhou Chen thanked him solemnly, and then said, "Zhou Yong and I are indeed brothers, but our relationship is not like that of ordinary brothers. In short, the matter between us is very complicated. The favor I would like to ask Director Guan is very simple. Can you fire Zhou Yong or lay him off?"

"what?"

When Director Guan heard this, he was confused and suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

Shouldn't Zhou Chen ask him to take care of Zhou Yong? Why is he asking him to find a way to lay off or fire Zhou Yong? What kind of operation is this?

Brothers killing each other?

Although he was filled with endless gossip and surprise, he still knew his limits. This was someone else's family affair and it was not convenient for him to interfere.

"Boss Zhou, I'm not afraid of losing face. I'll tell you the truth. Our factory is indeed facing some difficulties right now. We've held a meeting and are considering layoffs and buying out seniority, but the specific implementation has not yet begun."

Zhou Chen understood the meaning of the song: "Director Guan, I have a younger brother named Chen Jianghe. Have you ever heard of him?"

Director Guan frowned slightly, and then his pupils dilated slightly.

"Chen Jianghe, is he the Chen Jianghe that Xie Shuji once mentioned, the one who had a good relationship with Director Qiu Yingjie?"

Zhou Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's him. He is my younger brother. He is very capable and can sell a lot of unsalable goods at a suitable price. I can introduce him to you and let him sell the inventory for your factory. With his ability, I dare not say everything, but he can definitely help your factory."

Director Guan was skeptical, but if Zhou Chen took the initiative to help them sell the inventory, he still believed that Zhou Chen was capable.

But Zhou Chen now recommends someone else, even the somewhat famous Chen Jianghe, but he is still unsure, mainly because he is not familiar with Chen Jianghe and has no confidence in him.

"Then consider it as me making friends with you, Mr. Zhou."

Considering the three of us, Director Guan decided to agree to Zhou Chen. For him, laying off Zhou Yong was not a big deal. As long as he was willing to do it, it would only cost some money. Compared to building a good relationship with Zhou Chen, it was definitely not a loss.

Zhou Chen smiled brightly: "Director Guan, this time I owe you a favor. If there is anything in the future, I will never refuse."

Although he has many ways to deal with Zhou Yong, this method is the simplest and most effective, and he doesn't have to show up.

Although I paid a favor to someone, as long as it can make my thoughts clear, one favor doesn't matter.

Zhou Yong has been in a very bad mood these days. He is not happy at work or in his life.

At work, the performance of the machinery factory where he works has been getting worse and worse in recent years. He originally relied on his connections to become the workshop director and had a very comfortable life in the factory.

However, in the past two years, he, as the workshop director, has had almost no benefits, and sometimes even the basic salary cannot be paid in full. Compared with the past, the gap is really too big.

It was because of the problems at work that the family's living standard plummeted, and he was recently very annoyed by the noise from his wife and children.

What's even more upsetting is that the relationship with Zhou Chen has become very bad.

He still remembers vividly the beating he received at Zhou Chen's house last time. It was the first time in his life that he was subjected to one-sided abuse, including slaps and kicks.

Later, even though his wife Zhao Chunhua cried and made a fuss at the door of Zhou Chen's house, Zhou Chen ignored them in the end. Instead, they got themselves into trouble.

Embarrassment is one thing, but more importantly, their relationship with Zhou Chen has become strained, and it will be difficult for them to benefit from Zhou Chen in the future.

Now Zhou Chen is developing better and better and has become a well-known figure in Yiwu. As long as they help them a little, they will definitely be able to do very well.

Therefore, every time he thought of this, he felt a pang of heartache and blamed himself for being short-sighted and making the relationship between the two parties so rigid. Now there was no room for maneuver.

However, he had also discussed with Zhao Chunhua that he must not give up on repairing his relationship with Zhou Chen.

He thought of a way. If anyone could help them now, it must be Chen Jinshui.

When Zhou Chen was driven out by them, he was taken in by Chen Jinshui. Then there was the story of how Zhou Chen was admitted to university and became rich now.

So, even though Chen Jinshui is not Zhou Chen's biological parent, they are definitely much closer to him than his older brother, and Zhou Chen will definitely listen to Chen Jinshui's words.

Zhou Yong made up his mind that after two days of rest, he would personally bring some things to apologize to Chen Jinshui and ask for Chen Jinshui's forgiveness. As long as Chen Jinshui could forgive him and say a few words for him, he believed that it would definitely be more effective than going to Zhou Chen's house again.

"Director Zhou, someone is looking for you."

Zhou Yong was awakened by the workers' calls. He stood up and asked, "Who's looking for me?"

"It seems to be someone from the personnel department."

"From the HR department?"

Zhou Yong was surprised. Why would someone from the human resources department come to see him, the workshop director, during working hours?

Although he was curious, he still walked over and later learned that it was the head of the human resources department who called him over and said there was something.

Zhou Yong went to the personnel department's office with doubts in his mind. A few minutes later, he became extremely angry.

"What? Buying out my years of service and laying me off? Why? I'm a regular employee. Why should the factory lay me off? I don't accept this. I want to find the factory director."

"Comrade Zhou Yong, this is a decision made after discussion within our factory. The factory is in a special situation right now. In addition to you, there are other people involved. We are not targeting you alone."

The head of the human resources department did not back down at all in the face of the furious Zhou Yong. He was very assertive and had no intention of negotiating at all.

But Zhou Yong was so angry that he lost his mind and yelled, "I don't accept it. I am taking my father's job. My father even lost his life for the factory. How dare you treat me like this? The factory cannot be so cold-blooded and heartless."

"Comrade Zhou Yong, this has already been decided. If you really don't agree, go find the factory director yourself, don't make a scene here."

Zhou Yong continued to make trouble for a while, and then went to find the factory director angrily.

He was very confident when he arrived, but less than an hour later, he left the factory director's office dejected and in a disheveled state.

He did meet the factory director and made a scene in front of him, but no matter what he said, it didn't change the final result. He even wanted to play rogue, but Director Guan's attitude was very firm, and no matter how he made a scene, it was of no use.

Zhou Yong left, but he certainly would not be willing to give up, nor would he just let it go.

In the next few days, he still came to the factory every day to block the factory director, and even made a big fuss in the factory and carried Zhou Chen out.

But unfortunately, even though Director Guan had gotten rid of Zhou Chen, how could he be afraid of this? When Zhou Yong was making a big fuss, he directly asked the factory security to "invite" Zhou Yong out of the factory.

Although Zhou Yong later went to other places to make trouble, the result did not change. The main reason was that all the procedures in the factory were legal and compliant, so in the end he was forced to buy out his years of service and leave the factory.

Zhou Yong, who lost his job, became very bad-tempered after returning home. Over the course of several days, he quarreled with Zhao Chunhua countless times and even fought with her several times.

In short, after losing his job, Zhou Yong's family has never had peace. They are always quarreling or fighting. The neighbors around them come to watch the fun every day. The couple has become the monkeys in the eyes of others.
