"That's a deal, Xiao Zhou. I'll let my comrade know, and I think I'll be able to arrange a meeting for you guys in a while."

"Thank you, chief."

On the way back, the leader sent a driver to take Zhou Chen away and drove him all the way to the gate of the courtyard.

Zhou Chen had a very good impression of the chief couple. They were not arrogant and were very approachable. They got along very well, otherwise they would not have introduced him to any partner.

He remembered that in the TV drama plot, the leader seemed to be affected soon after, but then recovered and lived to the end.

He originally wanted to give a reminder, but after considering it, he gave up. After all, a leader of such a high status as the chief is helpless. Even if he reminded him, it probably wouldn't have much effect. Instead, it might change the original trajectory and cause more serious consequences.

When the leader said "after a while", it really meant after a while. Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and the matter has not been finalized yet. If Zhou Chen did not have a good memory, he would have probably forgotten it long ago.

During this period, Zhou Chen clearly discovered that there were fewer and fewer young people around him. Many of them went to the countryside to become educated youth, and some of them had met with accidents.

But the working class is still extremely stable, which also makes Zhou Chen feel satisfied. His original choice was really correct.

Although the Liu Haizhong incident happened last year, it did not have any impact on him. The subsequent turmoil also kept him in a safe position because of his work and identity.

What made Zhou Chen most satisfied was that the progress of the system task had made a big step forward. Well, it was about three-fiftieths completed.

"Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen."

As soon as Zhou Chen came out of the factory, Xu Damao caught up with him with a flattering look on his face.

"Zhou Chen, are you free tonight? Come to my house for a drink?"

Zhou Chen looked him up and down: "Do you think I will agree to you?"

Xu Damao licked his face and said, "Zhou Chen, I know that the incident last year caused a rift between us, but it's really not my fault. It was all that old bastard Liu Haizhong who forced me to do it. He said that if I didn't help him, he would punish me. I had no choice but to do that. But in fact, I really feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I haven't been able to forgive myself until now."

"Then don't forgive me."

"Don't worry, Zhou Chen. It's been so long. I'll treat you to a drink tonight and apologize to you in person. Please forgive me for my mistakes. We are both gentlemen. Please forgive me this time, okay?"

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Xu Damao, I'm not He Yuzhu. I don't have a big heart like him. I'm a petty person. I know very well who treats me well and who doesn't. You, Xu Damao, don't try to play tricks on me."

He hasn't even taken revenge for what happened last year, so how could he possibly make peace with Xu Damao?

Xu Damao's smile slowly faded: "Zhou Chen, do you really want to be so ruthless? We are neighbors in the same courtyard after all. We will see each other every day. It is better to be friends than enemies, right?"

"Then go ask He Yuzhu if he's willing to be your friend."

Seeing Zhou Chen mention He Yuzhu again, Xu Damao's expression became even uglier. The relationship between him and Shazhu would never be reconciled.

"That means there's no need to discuss it?"

"Let's go, Team Leader Xu. I hope you can stay as team leader for longer. Don't learn from Liu Haizhong."

Zhou Chen waved at Xu Damao. He had also heard that Xu Damao had recently become the leader of the special task force.

But his words made Xu Damao feel very uncomfortable. What happened to Liu Haizhong? How could he, Xu Damao, be as stupid as Liu Haizhong? Moreover, he suspected that Zhou Chen must have participated in Liu Haizhong's affairs.

Looking at Zhou Chen's back, Xu Damao said fiercely, "Zhou Chen, just wait for me. I'll see how long you can be so arrogant. Sooner or later, I'll kill you."

He took the initiative to find Zhou Chen today because he wanted to reconcile. He felt that since he had become the leader of the task force, Zhou Chen should at least give him some face.

However, he didn't expect that Zhou Chen would not give him any face at all and had no intention of reconciling with him.

He is a narrow-minded person. Since Zhou Chen is unwilling to reconcile, he will treat Zhou Chen as an enemy, an enemy like Sha Zhu, and will kill Zhou Chen sooner or later.

"Humph!"

Zhou Chen could naturally guess what Xu Damao was thinking, but he only had ill will towards Xu Damao and had not taken action against him. It was not because he was going to let Xu Damao go, but because the recent situation was not stable and he did not want to create trouble.

But today Xu Damao came to him, and he felt that he should take action. Even if the means were a little despicable, it was better than doing nothing.

That night, after drinking, the drunk Xu Damao was lying on the bed when he suddenly felt his stomach churning and then his stomach became uncontrollable...

Zhou Chen was leaning on the bed and hadn't fallen asleep yet. Then he heard bursts of noise in the yard and the sound of an ambulance outside, so he walked out of the house leisurely.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw several men carrying a stretcher and running out of the yard, followed by a group of neighbors who were watching the fun.

Zhou Chen did not step forward to join in the fun, because he knew that someone would come back soon to tell him the answer.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, Yan Bugui, who had returned from the door, staggered to his door.

"Zhou Chen, do you know what big thing happened?"

Zhou Chen cooperated very well and asked, "What happened, Third Uncle?"

Yan Bugui said with a smile: "Third uncle sounds better to me. I don't even want to do the second uncle."

He seemed to have forgotten how much effort he had put in to become the second uncle, but ever since Liu Haizhong went in, he didn't want to be the second uncle anymore.

"It was Xu Damao from the backyard. This wicked guy really got his comeuppance. After dinner, he lost control of his stomach for some reason. He didn't even have time to run to the toilet before he made a mess. Oh, you didn't see it. His house... Oh, ugh, forget it. I can't tell you. If you want to see it, go and see it yourself."

Zhou Chen immediately waved his hand: "No, I'm not interested and don't want to watch it, Uncle San, please stop talking."

He is the culprit. The laxative he used was too strong. After all this, Xu Damao will have to stay in the hospital for a week sooner or later.

Although the means are a bit despicable, the mood is really good. No wonder many people like to stab people in the back, it really feels good.

"Oh, look."

Yan Bugui suddenly nudged Zhou Chen with his elbow and shook his head to signal Zhou Chen to look over.

Zhou Chen turned his head and saw He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu walking side by side from the door into the front yard intimately, without actually turning their backs on anyone.

Chapter 912: Blind date, Sha Zhu provokes, Zhou Chen kills

Yan Bugui also said with a sigh, "This situation between the two of them has been going on for a long time. At this rate, are they going to get together? Zhou Chen, what do you think?"

"I stood and watched."

Although he was one more person in the courtyard, Zhou Chen knew that Qin Huairu would not let He Yuzhu go, especially after she was betrayed by her unreliable cousin Qin Jingru, she regarded He Yuzhu as her last straw.

He Yuzhu's experience is different from that in the plot. He has never been with Lou Xiao'e, and has never experienced any woman before.

How could an old bachelor who has never even had a girlfriend be a match for a White Lotus of such a high level?

Qin Huairu deliberately approached him and used some tricks, and He Yuzhu was under her control.

Yan Bugui said meaningfully: "But I think it's not that easy for the two of them to be together. Not to mention Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu's mother-in-law is a powerful person."

As they were talking, Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu came over.

"Third Master, Zhou Chen, you have all seen it, Xu Damao doesn't know what's going on, it's so serious all of a sudden."

Qin Huairu greeted Yan Bugui and Zhou Chen with a smile. She and Sha Zhu also helped out just now, so she knew exactly how bad Xu Damao's situation is now.

He Yuzhu said sarcastically, "In my opinion, he did too many bad things and got his retribution."

"Say less." Qin Huairu glared at him.

He Yuzhu had a rebellious look on his face: "I am like this. To be honest, I have to say what I have to say. Third uncle, just tell me if I am right or not, okay?"

Yan Bugui laughed dryly: "If you are right, then it is right."

Although he didn't have a good impression of Xu Damao, he didn't think much of He Yuzhu either, so naturally he didn't want to talk to him.

He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu talked and laughed and walked back to the middle courtyard, but Yan Bugui did not go back, and still chatted with Zhou Chen.

"What on earth is this idiot Zhu thinking? Qin Huairu is not bad. She is pretty, filial, and can take good care of her mother-in-law and three children. But his conditions are not bad either, and it's not like he can't find someone better. Why is he..."

Zhou Chen asked: "If it were you, would you choose Qin Huairu?"

"Cough, cough, cough."

Yan Bugui couldn't help but cough loudly, and asked with a strange look on his face: "How can you ask such a question? It would be embarrassing if someone heard it."

"Third Uncle, you've always talked about people behind their backs. It's just the two of us here, so what's wrong with discussing it?"

"How old am I? You're telling me these things. I should be the one asking you these questions. If it were you, would you be like Sha Zhu?"

Zhou Chen replied calmly: "Finding a widow is nothing, but helping someone raise their children and mother-in-law, do you think I would do it?"

Yan Bugui spread his hands: "That's it, you can't, how can I? Only Shazhu is stupid. Qin Huairu is a good person. If she didn't have elderly parents and young children, even if she was a widow, it wouldn't be Shazhu's turn to think about her."

"That's true."

Zhou Chen nodded in agreement. Although Qin Huairu was in her thirties, she had a good figure and appearance. If she didn't have a mother-in-law and three children, and was alone, she would definitely be able to find someone with good conditions.

The two talked for a while, and then stopped talking. In their courtyard, everyone could see that there was something fishy going on between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu. Just like Yan Bugui said, it was only Sha Zhu who was so stupid that he was tricked by others, but he still treated others as treasures.

Sha Zhu in the TV series at least has a son, which is one of the few bright spots in his miserable life.

In fact, when Zhou Chen watched the TV series at the beginning, he found it weird that a son who had never raised his father was actually more filial than the one who was raised by his side.

Well, if you say there are such people, then there are.

But what is weird is that this son is not only filial to his biological father, but also to an incomprehensible "stepmother". What is even weirder is that he treats those ungrateful "brothers and sisters" as if they were his own brothers and sisters, giving them money when they ask for it and doing whatever they ask him to do.

Zhou Chen has lived for hundreds of years, but he has only seen such strange situations a few times. Only in the last world, in the ancient feudal society like Langya Bang, did such people exist. But that was a different era after all. At that time, filial piety was the most important thing.

Even a good man like Han Chunming from Zhengyang Sect could not do this.

Anyway, in Zhou Chen's opinion, He Xiao in the TV series is an unrealistic person. How much does he lack love to do such a "crazy" thing.

Don’t say that reality is often more exaggerated than TV dramas. Anyway, he has lived for hundreds of years and has only seen this a few times.

But seeing He Yuzhu being manipulated by Qin Huairu, Zhou Chen didn't feel sympathetic at all, but felt happy instead.

When I watched TV before, I was from the perspective of a bystander and felt that it was really pitiful for Shazhu to be tricked like that.

But after coming to the real world, not to mention the several conflicts with He Yuzhu, based on his observations over the past year or so, He Yuzhu is definitely not a good person, and has done just as many terrible things as Xu Damao.

It’s just that Xu Damao is really evil, while He Yuzhu is still relatively humane, but his behavior and actions are also annoying.

He was not exaggerating. In their courtyard and the surrounding courtyards, few people had a good impression of He Yuzhu. When many people mentioned He Yuzhu, they all looked disapproving, or looked down on him, and more often they were disgusted with him.

Zhou Chen originally thought that the boss had forgotten about the blind date he talked about last time, so he let it go.

But he didn't expect that a month later, the boss actually called him over again, talked about a blind date, and even set a date for the meeting.

"Commander, do you really want to see me?"

The big boss looked at Zhou Chen and laughed, "Why, are you still afraid? In my impression, it seems that I have never seen you afraid. When I first met you, you didn't seem to be nervous or afraid at all. Now it's just a blind date, a meeting, why are you afraid?"

Zhou Chen smiled wryly: "Chief, I'm really not afraid, I just wonder if it will cause you trouble."

"How can it cause me any trouble? To be honest, I really hope that you can succeed. Although I have never seen that child, I am very familiar with that comrade-in-arms. His child should not be the kind of person that is difficult to get along with. Of course, the details will depend on you two meeting each other and slowly understanding each other."

"OK then."

The big boss had said this, what else could Zhou Chen say but to nod in agreement.

A few days later, the day agreed by the boss arrived. Zhou Chen took a day off, had lunch, dressed neatly, and prepared to set off.

Today he was going to the famous Beihai Park in the capital. The leader told him that the woman was only going there alone and would wait for him at the gate of Beihai Park at two o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as he went out, he saw the third aunt. The third aunt looked at Zhou Chen and asked in surprise: "Are you getting ready to go out?"

"Yes, I have something to do outside. I'll leave first, Third Aunt." Zhou Chen greeted the Third Aunt and walked out of the front yard.

The third aunt looked at Zhou Chen's back thoughtfully: "You are dressed so neatly, are you going on a blind date?"

I have to say that sometimes women's intuition is really sharp, even for older women like Aunt Thirty.

Zhou Chen arrived at the gate of Beihai Park ahead of time, and then started looking for someone according to the characteristics that the big leader said.

About ten minutes later, Zhou Chen found the target.

It was a very capable looking young girl with a ponytail. The jacket she was wearing was a popular corduroy fabric, inside was a Dacron shirt, the trousers were common styles, and she was wearing a pair of pull-backs. white shoes.

Fresh, capable, tall, and straight, this was Zhou Chen's first impression of her.

Zhou Chen walked up to the girl and asked politely, "Hello, are you Comrade Chen Lin?"

Nowadays, if you dare to greet someone by calling them "beautiful" or "little sister" or something like that, you will probably be called a hooligan. In serious cases, you may even be arrested for hooliganism.

The other party also replied very politely: "Hello, I am Chen Lin, and you are Comrade Zhou Chen?"

Zhou Chen smiled slightly: "Yes, I am Zhou Chen, nice to meet you."

Chen Lin also responded politely, and did not seem as shy or embarrassed as other girls. However, Zhou Chen felt relieved when he thought that the other party had also been a female soldier.

Although not all women who have served in the military are tomboys, they are definitely not weak little women.

According to the top leader, Chen Lin is still a cadre in the supply and marketing cooperative and belongs to the leadership class.

After the two got to know each other, Zhou Chen took the initiative to invite Chen Lin to go for a walk in the park, and Chen Lin readily agreed, so the two walked into the park together.

Although Zhou Chen had never dated anyone in this world, he had rich emotional experience. After just a few simple chats, he figured out some of Chen Lin's habits. With his deliberate guidance, the two of them had a very pleasant chat.
