"Cuckoo..."
Zhou Chen held his youngest son in his arms and said to Luo Yuzhu who was sitting next to him: "Yuzhu, I have to go to Hong Kong in two days. It will probably take about half a month for me to come back. Home..."
Before he could say anything, Luo Yuzhu interrupted him and said, "Don't worry about home. I can handle it."
"If you feel bored at home, after sending Xiao Tao to kindergarten, you can leave Xiao Hong to Aunt Huang and go to the Trade City by yourself. You have only been to the Trade City a few times in the past few years."
Luo Yuzhu smiled and said, "I really want to go and take a look at the Trade City. When Sister Feng came here before, she said that the Trade City is bustling with people and business is especially good. She also asked me to thank you for giving them such a good location."
The women who used to sell goods with Luo Yuzhu, including Sister Feng, came to find Luo Yuzhu when they entered the trade city. Zhou Chen took care of them and gave them better positions in the trade city.
Because of the good location and natural advantages, Luo Yuzhu and her sisters have very good business.
When Luo Yuzhu chatted with them, she was sometimes very envious. She herself was a strong woman and had been staying at home for the sake of her children in recent years.
Although her family lived a better life than anyone else with Zhou Chen earning money, she still longed to go out and work.
Zhou Chen went to Hong Kong naturally for the company there. He mainly worked in the financial investment industry there, so sometimes he could control it remotely even if he was not there in person.
Now the company in Hong Kong has grown to a certain scale, but he does not want to go public. This time he went there to deal with some company matters.
Zhou Chen has never planned to give up the company in Hong Kong, because although the country has reformed and opened up, many things are still not as convenient as in Hong Kong. It is easier to connect with the international standards in Hong Kong.
In the future, he will have to complete side quests, deal with Nguyen Van Hung, and may even have to fight against the Nguyen family, so before the fight, he must make himself strong enough. Only when he is strong enough will it be easier to deal with Nguyen Van Hung in the future.
Can't Ruan Wenxiong pay foreigners to kidnap and extort? He can then spend a lot of money to hire several mercenary groups and see who is more ruthless.
Of course, this is just a thought. Although Zhou Chen's views on the law have changed a lot as he travels through time more and more times, he is still a good citizen who abides by the law unless it is necessary.
Zhou Chen said he would stay in Hong Kong for half a month this time, but he actually stayed for a full month before returning home.
In 89, Chen Daguang, who had been working outside for many years, came back. However, his return was not a happy thing for many people.
Chen Daguang said that he went out with Xu Ruijie to broaden his horizons a few years ago and then went to Pengcheng.
Xu Ruijie brought him to Pengcheng and arranged for Chen Daguang to work as a salesperson in a company. At the beginning, Chen Daguang worked very hard and earned a lot of money.
Seeing that Chen Daguang was gradually becoming stable, Xu Ruijie stopped caring about him, because Zhou Chen did not ask her to take care of Chen Daguang all the time, and he had his own things to do, so after returning to Hong Kong, he no longer paid attention to Chen Daguang.
Chen Daguang worked as a salesperson in Pengcheng and met many people, including some well-known figures. Seeing how glamorous these people were, Chen Daguang became more interested. Later, he did not do his job properly every day and just ate and drank with these people, hoping to make a lot of money through their relationships.
Sales is about making money, but due to limitations in ability and culture, he earns much more money than in Yiwu, but in a place like Pengcheng, the money he earns is not even mid-range.
Chen Daguang was ambitious and wanted to move up in the social ladder, so he racked his brains to find a way to make a fortune.
It was not until he followed a friend who was a leader to engage in smuggling that he really broadened his horizons, especially when he saw the huge profits from the transportation of goods between Hong Kong and the mainland. He could no longer bear it and actually started the smuggling business as well.
After a few years, Chen Daguang did make a lot of money, so he could even buy several houses in Pengcheng.
It's just that once he made money, he started to get carried away and started spending it on eating, drinking, gambling, and making a lot of money, but he also spent it quickly.
So after a few years, he looked glamorous and successful, but he didn't have much savings.
But this did not affect his return home in glory. He wore a brand-name suit, drove the car he bought, and returned to Yiwu and Chenjia Village very proudly.
Chen Daguang's return caused a huge sensation in Chenjia Village, even greater than when Zhou Chen and Chen Jianghe returned.
After all, Chen Daguang is different from Zhou Chen and Chen Jianghe. Zhou Chen and Chen Jianghe are both outsiders, while Chen Daguang is a native of Chenjia Village. He grew up in Chenjia Village and is related to many people in the village.
His return, driven back in a car, wearing gold and silver, looking wealthy, naturally shocked the elders and villagers of Chenjia Village.
However, some people were very unhappy about Chen Daguang's return, one of them was Qiaogu.
Qiaogu is almost 26 years old and has never been married. In fact, she is waiting for Chen Daguang to come back.
Now Chen Daguang is back, but she is not happy at all, because Chen Daguang did not come back alone, he also brought back a gorgeous woman.
Chen Daguang had been out there for so many years and had picked up many bad habits. He had been with so many women that he couldn't even count them, many of whom were prettier than Qiaogu, so he had long forgotten about his childhood sweetheart, Qiaogu.
He brought the woman back to show off, because the woman he brought back this time was indeed very beautiful, and he spent a lot of time and money to get her. He was also planning to marry this woman, and he brought her back this time to show off to his parents.
While wiping her tears, Qiaogu told Zhou Chen about Chen Daguang.
Zhou Chen was a little surprised when he heard about Chen Daguang, but not too surprised.
It has been several years since Chen Daguang left, and he had not paid any attention to Chen Daguang for a long time. Now Chen Daguang suddenly came back in such a high-profile manner. It was obvious that he was returning home in glory and wanted to show off.
But he was still very happy that Chen Daguang brought the woman back. Now Qiaogu and Chen Daguang would never be together again.
Thinking of what happened in the TV series after Qiaogu followed Chen Daguang, he would rather Qiaogu remain single for her entire life than see her marry Chen Daguang.
Now that Chen Daguang has started doing it himself, it has saved him a lot of trouble. It seems that the original decision was absolutely correct.
"Okay, Qiaogu, it's not worth it for Chen Daguang. If Chen Daguang really had you in his heart, he wouldn't have stopped contacting you for several years, let alone calling you, or even writing you a letter."
When Chen Daguang first went to Pengcheng, he would call Qiaogu once a month, but they lost contact within a year.
Qiaogu also asked Zhou Chen to ask Xu Ruijie to look for him, but Zhou Chen agreed verbally but did not care. He only asked Xu Ruijie to look for him once, and after knowing that Chen Daguang was still alive and well and telling Qiaogu, he did not care about it anymore.
Later, Qiaogu gradually stopped asking until Chen Daguang returned.
Qiaogu choked up and said, "Why did Daguang become like this? Brother, is it true that once people have money, they will become bad?"
In her opinion, no matter how glamorous Chen Daguang is now, he is not as good as before. The current Chen Daguang is too fake and empty, and he is full of big talk. She doesn't like him at all.
Zhou Chen patted Qiaogu on the head and advised: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Forget about Chen Daguang. He is not worth it. You should have your own happiness."
In fact, Qiaogu and Chen Jianghe are quite good friends, but it's a pity that they only have a brother-sister relationship and no love.
But Zhou Chen sincerely hopes that Qiaogu can find her own happiness.
Qiaogu, who is 26 years old, is actually not young anymore. In this era, there are very few women who are still unmarried at this age.
Qiaogu has worked with Zhou Chen for six years and has become a white-collar worker. She may not be as good as the better ones, but she is definitely more than enough compared to the worse ones.
It’s not that no one has pursued Qiaogu over the years, but Qiaogu is a very simple person. She still wants to wait for Chen Daguang, so she has been dragging it on until now.
Qiaogu wiped away her tears and said softly, "I know, brother, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine."
She was really sad, but she was no longer the little girl who only followed Chen Daguang to play. She had become strong.
In the evening, when Zhou Chen was drinking with Chen Jinshui, Chen Jinshui got drunk and started to curse Chen Daguang, saying that it was Chen Daguang who had delayed his daughter's development. He listed all kinds of faults of Chen Daguang and belittled Chen Daguang to the point of being useless.
Zhou Chen also said a few words along with what Chen Jinshui said. His disdain for Chen Daguang did not come from the TV series, but his opinion after meeting him.
Chen Daguang stayed in Chenjia Village for a few days, and when he had shown off enough, he left.
During this period, Chen Daguang also visited Zhou Chen and met with him. He was very arrogant and wanted to invite Zhou Chen to dinner, but Zhou Chen refused without hesitation. He didn't want to have any contact with Chen Daguang again. He thought that this guy was destined to be a scammer, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Chen Jianghe, who had not returned to Yiwu for a long time, suddenly came back and found Zhou Chen first.
"Brother, I listened to your advice and went to the Magic City some time ago. Wow, I really broadened my horizons. This time, I also saw a single-needle electronic jacquard machine, which is very useful. I want to buy a few."
Zhou Chen didn't know much about the sock industry, but after listening to Chen Jianghe's words, he remembered that in the plot, it seemed that Chen Jianghe met Yang Xue because of the jacquard machine.
Could it be that Chen Jianghe has already met Yang Xue?
"As long as you think it will be useful to the factory, then buy it. How is the performance of the sock factory recently? Is there enough capital to circulate?"
For Zhou Chen, acquiring the sock factory was just a trivial matter. After handing it over to Chen Jianghe, he never asked about it again. Every time, it was Chen Jianghe who took the initiative to report to him, and then he knew the situation of the sock factory.
The last time he went to the sock factory was more than a year ago.
Chen Jianghe nodded repeatedly: "Enough, the funds are enough. Fortunately, you help me control the general direction. The sock factory has developed well in the past two years."
Zhou Chen said: "It's your credit that the sock factory can get better. I didn't help at all. Jianghe brand socks are very popular here recently. You have done a great job. You should continue to maintain this brand."
The newly registered brand of Chen Jianghe is his own name. Now Jianghe brand socks are quite famous in China.
After finishing the official business, Zhou Chen asked about personal matters.
"Jiang He, you are also twenty-seven, right?"
"Yes, it will be the twenty-eighth after the Chinese New Year."
"You are not young anymore, and you haven't met the right person yet?"
Chen Jianghe immediately laughed: "Second brother, why are you still concerned about my matter? I'm so busy now, how can I have time to think about those things."
Zhou Chen said: "No matter how busy you are, getting married and starting a family is also a big deal. Starting a family and building a career are both important things. Starting a family comes before building a career."
Chen Jianghe scratched his head and said, "I really haven't thought about these things. To be honest, I'm really afraid of meeting my uncle. I'm afraid that he will pair me and Qiaogu together again."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "He really worries about you and Qiaogu."
Seeing that Chen Jianghe never mentioned Yang Xue, Zhou Chen was also confused. Was it that Chen Jianghe didn't meet Yang Xue, or didn't he create sparks with Yang Xue?
"By the way, do you remember what I told you before? I have reserved a house for you in the neighborhood next door. It has been renovated. If you don't want to live in Chenjia Village when you return to Yiwu, you can live there. You can move in after a little cleaning."
Chen Jianghe said: "Second brother, look at you, why are you giving me a house? The houses here cost a lot of money."
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes: "You're still talking to me about money. The sock factory has made money in the past few years. It's all thanks to you. Just take it if I give it to you. Don't talk so much nonsense."
Chen Jianghe couldn't argue with Zhou Chen, so he had to accept it in the end.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 794 In the s, Yang Xue appeared
In Zhou Chen's office, Qiaogu was complaining to Zhou Chen non-stop, her face full of resentment.
"Brother, I'm really going crazy. I'm going crazy."
Seeing Qiaogu who was about to lose her mind, Zhou Chen not only did not comfort her, but instead showed a gloating smile.
"Who can you blame for this? Who told you not to get married at such an age? You are his only daughter, and he can't control Jiang He. If he doesn't force you, who else can he force?"
Qiaogu collapsed and said, "That can't be the case. It's been less than half a month and I've already been found more than 30 blind dates. The most outrageous thing is that I met two people at the same time. It's too scary. Second brother, you don't know, I don't even dare to go home after get off work. Now when I see my dad, I tremble all over."
Zhou Chen couldn't help laughing even more. He had also experienced being forced by his parents to go on a blind date.
However, the blind dates he had experienced were not as horrible as Qiaogu's. In order to let his daughter get married early, Chen Jinshui was really "desperate".
He really didn't know what his uncle was thinking as he was going on blind dates with two men at the same time. I guess Qiaogu was so embarrassed that she could have saved enough money to buy a three-bedroom apartment.
"Didn't I leave you a house in the community? If you don't want to go back, you don't have to."
Unexpectedly, Qiaogu shuddered and said bitterly, "If I don't go back, my dad will probably bring people over here directly, and I can't stand it."
Not to mention a weak-willed woman like Qiaogu, even a woman with a strong personality would have no better way than to hide when faced with her parents forcing her to get married.
"There are so many men, and you don't like any of them?"
It cannot be said that all the people Chen Jinshui found were successful people, but they were not bad either.
Qiaogu shook her head: "It's not that I don't like them, it's that I just don't think it's right. I don't want to get along with them anymore. I don't even want to be in a relationship now."
Zhou Chen also had a headache. He could see that Qiaogu was a little afraid of marriage.
On the one hand, she was constantly forced by Chen Jinshui, and on the other hand, Chen Daguang's changes led to her not wanting to get married, let alone fall in love.
"You don't want to be in a relationship, do you want to be alone for the rest of your life?"
"I, I don't know."
Qiaogu spoke hesitantly, she didn't know what she was thinking, but in short, she didn't want to go on blind dates, fall in love, or get married now.
Zhou Chen saw the fear in Qiaogu's heart: "It's okay if you don't know. Maybe your destiny hasn't come yet. If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. It's not necessarily a bad life to be alone."
"what?"
Qiaogu looked at Zhou Chen in astonishment. Was he trying to comfort her?
It was indeed comfort, but it was more because Zhou Chen had rich experience and had seen many people who remained single until old age.
Being alone for the rest of your life sounds scary, but if you get used to it, it's no big deal, and there are many people who like being alone.
The subjective thought in China is still to raise children to provide for old age, but this kind of thing is also probabilistic. Who knows whether raising children is a way to provide for old age or to make you old. If the children are not filial, it is better not to raise them.
The same applies to marriage. If you find an inappropriate person, and you quarrel and make trouble every day, and never have a moment of peace, it is better to live alone.
However, Zhou Chen did not tell Qiaogu this, because if he really led Qiaogu astray, his uncle would fight with him.
After little Zhou Hong went to kindergarten, Luo Yuzhu came out again and asked Zhou Chen to find her a shop in the commercial city so that she could start a business.
Luo Yuzhu's original plan was to sell socks, but unfortunately, because Chen Jianghe became the director of the sock factory, many people in Chenjia Village purchased goods from the sock factory and started selling socks on commercial vehicles or roadside stalls.
So Luo Yuzhu had to give up the idea of selling socks. Zhou Chen wanted to help, but Luo Yuzhu was stubborn and refused to let Zhou Chen help, insisting on doing it herself.
In the end, Luo Yuzhu chose to buy jewelry, the cheap kind. She didn't ask Zhou Chen for money, but just used the money she saved as capital to purchase the goods.
Seeing that Luo Yuzhu didn't want him to help, Zhou Chen didn't help. Since Luo Yuzhu was so confident, he also wanted to see what Luo Yuzhu could do.
Facts have proved that Luo Yuzhu is indeed cut out for the small commodity business. In less than a year, her business was booming.
Although Zhou Chen helped her pick a good position, she also needed talent and ability to make the business prosperous.
