The sudden concern made Zheng Juan feel very sweet in her heart.

"This is what I should do. I'm just useless and can't help you. I can only take care of the children at home."

Zhou Chen hugged her into his arms and said softly: "No, you are not useless, you are the most useful. Without you, I would not know what clothes to wear every day. Our family can live without me, but we can never live without you.

"

"Nonsense, you are the head of the family. Without your hard work to make money, our family would never have the good life we ​​have now."

Zheng Juan felt extremely satisfied when she thought about the life she had lived these years, and all of this was brought about by Zhou Chen.

Wu Qian has one saying that she agrees with very much, that is, she married the right person.

After the two of them were cozy for a while, Zheng Juan, who loved to worry, asked worriedly: "Bingkun, you'd better go and comfort mom as soon as possible."

Zhou Chen said calmly: "My comfort won't help with this kind of thing. The key is for our mother to figure it out on her own. She is competing with herself now."

Zheng Juan asked with some confusion: "Bingkun, why didn't your eldest brother inform our mother? He knows our home phone number."

Zhou Chen sneered and said: "This is not simple. He has no say over there. The Hao family is not going to inform our parents. Do you think he dares to inform us?"

Perhaps Zhou Bingyi also thought about informing his parents, but Jin Yueji was not prepared to let the Zhou family go to express condolences, so he certainly did not dare to make the decision privately.

"Okay, I don't want to worry about these unhappy things. I have to work the night shift next week, plus two days off, so I have three days to spare. I want to take you around Yanjing City to play around. How about it, Juan'er?"

"Are you taking Ruirui and the others with you?"

"No, we haven't been together in the world of two for a long time. We won't take them with us these days. It's just the two of us. We can leave early and come back late."

"ah?"

Zheng Juan's expression was very surprised. Since having the child, the two of them had not gone out alone a few times. Now that Zhou Chen wanted to take her out to play alone, she felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Ah, what, it's settled. Life only lasts for a few decades. We are already over thirty. We can't live for our children all our lives. We should have some time of our own. After all, we two have to live our whole lives.

people."

Zheng Juan was a little hesitant, but more moved. She nodded vigorously: "Well, I listen to you. I will listen to you whatever you say."

It's not that she doesn't have her own opinion. When she lived with her mother and younger brother, she picked everything in the house.

The reason why she married into the Zhou family was that she was willing to be the woman behind Zhou Chen, because she knew that Zhou Chen would support the family and she didn't need to worry.

"Then it's settled."

Li Suhua's anger went away as quickly as it came. More than an hour later, when Zhou Chen went to find her with cooked rice, he quickly persuaded her to eat.

More than a week passed quickly. When the three children heard that their parents were going out to play without them, they were all very unhappy. Who doesn't want to go out and play?

It's a pity that Zhou Chen settled them easily and took Zheng Juan out to be cool.

In order to enjoy the trip, Zhou Chen borrowed a jeep from a friend and drove it. In three days, he visited many tourist attractions in Yanjing and took Zheng Juan to eat a lot of delicious food.

At the end of the year, Zhou Zhigang wrote a letter saying that he would not have time to come back to celebrate the New Year in the next few years, and that he was supposed to retire in 1985. In response to the country's call, he planned to stay and work for another two or three years. It might take about 1988 to retire.

.

After Li Suhua found out, although she was a little disappointed, she still supported her husband's decision. She was just a little woman and fully supported her husband's career. Anyway, it would only be a few years later to reunite, so nothing would happen.

Zhou Zhigang's letter also mentioned the matter of Zhou Bingyi and the Hao family, but there were only a few words to comfort Li Suhua not to think too much, and also said that Zhou Bingyi had written him a letter and apologized, etc.

Time flies and it’s 1987.

In recent years, because Zhou Zhigang did not go home to celebrate the New Year, Zhou Chen's family did not return to Jichun, but stayed in Yanjing to celebrate the New Year.

Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingyi also graduated from graduate school. More than three years ago, after Zhou Bingyi graduated from graduate school, he returned to Jichun and worked in a government agency.

At the beginning, he only served as the deputy director of the general department of the research office. In more than three years, relying on his "own" efforts, he became the director of the provincial research office, and was promoted from the department level to deputy director.

The speed of promotion is quite fast, but because Zhou Bingyi himself is a graduate student and was once the son-in-law of Hao Gaoguan. Hao Gaoguan had just left at that time, so he still had some affection, so he could be promoted so quickly.

It's just that although his rank is very high, his position is very embarrassing and he doesn't have much real power. This is different from what he imagined.

Because he was relatively free at work, he accepted the invitation of his old friend Yao Lisong and went to Pengcheng for a chat.

Yao Lisong was Zhou Bingyi's comrade-in-arms and old friend when he was building the Corps more than ten years ago.

Later, he transferred from the army to work in the Jiangliao Provincial Department of Transportation. However, various changes later caused Yao Lisong to give up his official career and choose to enter the business world, serving as the chairman of the large state-owned enterprise Shanneng Group.

Yao Lisong is an ambitious and greedy man. After becoming the chairman of Shangneng Group, he used his power to make money crazily.

In just a few years, he made a lot of money and became a famous boss in Pengcheng by virtue of his status as the chairman of Shanneng Group.

But at the same time, I have to admit that Yao Lisong is very greedy, but he is indeed very capable. Shangneng Group has become stronger and stronger in his hands, so his position is very secure.

He had been in contact with Zhou Bingyi over the years and maintained a good relationship. This time he took the initiative to invite Zhou Bingyi over, which actually had his own purpose.

Yao Lisong first took Zhou Bingyi to a famous song and dance hall in Pengcheng to have fun, and then found a secluded place to talk to Zhou Bingyi.

"Bingyi, how do you feel about today's trip?"

Zhou Bingyi said with emotion: "It has gained me a lot of experience. I really have gained my experience. It is worthy of being a national key special economic zone. It is not comparable to our cities in Jiangliao Province."

Thinking of the scenes he had just seen in the dance hall, he felt both excited and anxious, and felt like he was not up to date with the times.

Yao Lisong laughed and said: "You who are doing research should come here more often. This is also called studying people's sentiments. Only by seeing more can you think more, right?"

"Don't be in a hurry to leave for the next two days. I'll show you around and show you my friendship as a landlord."

In the next two days, Zhou Bingyi followed Yao Lisong around Pengcheng. He gained a lot of knowledge and broadened his horizons. At the same time, his mind was also very active.

Zhou Bingyi was leaving tomorrow, so Yao Lisong found a secluded hotel private room to talk to Zhou Bingyi.

The two chatted all over the world, from the Construction Corps to going to college, from Hao Dongmei to Dong Weihong, and from official circles to shopping malls. They talked freely.

At the end of the conversation, Yao Lisong suddenly changed the subject.

"Bingyi, let me ask you about someone."

Zhou Bingyi asked: "Who do you want to find out? Is it someone I know?"

"Zheng Bowen."

"Zheng Bowen, who is it?"

Zhou Bingyi thought about it carefully, and then his face was full of doubts. There was no such person in his memory.

Yao Lisong smiled and said: "You may not be familiar with the name Zheng Bowen, but I think the name Zheng Guangming will be familiar to you, right?"

"Zheng Guangming?"

Zhou Bingyi looked surprised: "I do know Zheng Guangming, because my brother's brother-in-law is named Zheng Guangming. Is the Zheng Guangming you are talking about the same as the Zheng Guangming I am talking about?"

Yao Lisong did not answer directly, but suddenly asked: "Bingyi, do you know why I mentioned this Zheng Bowen and who is this Zheng Bowen?"

Zhou Bingyi didn't know what Yao Lisong was selling, so he could only follow his words and asked: "Who is this Zheng Bowen?"

Yao Lisong chuckled and said: "This Zheng Bowen is not a simple person. He is from Xiangjiang and is the general manager of Xiangjiang Chenxing Group."

"From Xiangjiang?"

"Yes, the Chenxing Group in Xiangjiang was only established a few years ago. In just a few years, it has become a big name and has become an upstart in the wealthy circle in Hong Kong. As the general manager of the Chenxing Group, Zheng Bowen is not very popular in Xiangjiang.

Famous, but powerful and wealthy."

Zhou Bingyi frowned: "Old Yao, you shouldn't just talk to me briefly. Is this Zheng Bowen related to my brother's brother-in-law Zheng Guangming?"

Just now, Yao Lisong first mentioned Zheng Bowen, and then Zheng Guangming. If there was no connection between the two, he would not believe it even to death.
