20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3532 Zou Huanan

It was almost 1 p.m. when Zou Huanan finally arrived. When Yu Chaofei shook hands with Zou Huanan, his voice and his whole body were trembling, and his face was flushed with excitement, as if he had been drinking.

Then everyone took their seats and began to eat.

"Ji Zhenqian came to my place before the New Year to report on his work. Chang Shu also spoke highly of his work in Wanyang over the past two years. As an old industrial reserve city and oil-producing area, Wanyang faces new economic requirements and situations, which are inherently complex. As a female comrade, Qin Yuxiao's cooperation with Liu Yi and Ji Zhenqian since taking office more than a year ago is evident to all."

Although Yu Chaofei was completely bewildered, he was still thrilled and wanted to clap his chopsticks in praise.

Zhao Chang'an was a little surprised that Zou Huanan was so frank and cooperative. Ji Zhenqian was a leader in Danjiang before, and two years ago he was appointed as the deputy mayor of Wanyang in charge of enterprises. He has worked hard and his achievements are obvious to all. However, he is still too young to take over Feng Jianfei's work.

Ji Zhenqian, Shan Qiang, and Xiao Xuecheng all grew up in the same compound. Shan Qiang was two years younger than Ji Zhenqian, and Ji Zhenqian was six years younger than Xiao Xuecheng.

As far as Zhao Chang'an knew, the relationship between Ji Zhenqian and Xiao Xuecheng was very distant, but there should still be some face-saving involved.

Seeing the doubt in Zhao Chang'an's eyes, Zou Huanan added, "Comrade Duan Fengqing has worked at the grassroots level in Shancheng for over thirty years. Her vision for Shancheng—developing it into a tourist city—aligns with the province's thinking. It's not that we don't need the districts and cities below to develop industry and technology, but rather that we should tailor our approach to local characteristics, adapt to local conditions, and achieve a more efficient division of labor. Just like last year—the government repeatedly issued orders to cool down the development of development zones nationwide, especially those in townships and counties that simply don't meet the requirements—that's the same principle."

"Pfft~"

Ke Yaqing couldn't help but burst into laughter, her smile both charming and beautiful.

Seeing everyone's gaze, she smiled and said, "This time, I went on a trip to Mr. Zhao's hometown. The mayor and secretary of a local township actually wanted to set up a development zone, saying it would cover several square kilometers. I was stunned when I heard that."

Zhao Chang'an knew that Ke Yaqing was referring to the idea of ​​merging the villages at the foot of the mountain to form a development zone and attract investment after Wu Yudong rejected the reconstruction of the new town in Qiaojiashan Town.

Seeing that everyone was laughing, he smiled and moved on from the topic.

Zou Huanan didn't say anything more, but kindly asked Yu Chaofei where he was from. The guy then excitedly began a long narration, revealing all his family's wealth.

Although he seemed a bit silly, Zhao Chang'an could tell that Zou Huanan was very satisfied with the assistant Zhao Chang'an had recommended to his son. Originally, this labor agency didn't require much technical skill, and if someone too shrewd cooperated with his son, they might get ripped off and end up counting the money for the other party.

"I'll leave Xiaojun to you, Mr. Zhao. If he does anything wrong, just give him a slap. If you're too embarrassed to do it, tell your Aunt Ke and have her tell her I'll give him a slap."

Zou Huanan has a refined and scholarly appearance, but he speaks very bluntly, and this sentence also reveals more than just that.

This at least suggests that he values ​​the Ke family.

No one drank alcohol at lunch. Zou Huanan had something to do in the afternoon, and Zhao Chang'an also needed to see Ai Qiuqiu, so the meal ended in less than half an hour.

Although he said he wouldn't get involved in the matter, he still didn't want Liu Yihui and Ai Qiuqiu to have a serious falling out over it.

Ke Yaqing did not see the guests off, but asked Liang Qian to escort them downstairs. Then Zou Huanan left home by car first, while Zhao Chang'an, Zou Xiaojun, and Yu Chaofei walked out of the theater troupe's residential compound.

“This driver and secretary are really good at keeping hungry. When I was Wu Yudong’s secretary, I would never wait outside for him to eat, but would go to the table with him.”

Yu Chaofei couldn't help but sigh.

"By the way, have you told Wu Yudong yet?"

Zhao Chang'an only remembered this matter after being reminded by Yu Chaofei. He recalled that Xu Wanrong had clearly stated that she would not get involved and that Yu Chaofei should handle it himself.

"What are you talking about? He'll know if I don't go then."

Yu Chaofei said with a frank expression: "Actually, I know that Lao Wu doesn't like me. He would be happy if I got rid of him as soon as possible. It's just that my sister has a lot of face, so he has always been embarrassed to kick me out. But he really thinks I care about a salary of a thousand yuan a month!"

"I rely on!"

Zhao Chang'an looked at Yu Chaofei's face carefully and confirmed that An Chuyu had not cheated on him before giving birth to Yu Chaofei, because this kid not only looked like his father, but also had the personality of a complete idiot.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about it."

He decided to tell Wu Yudong about it himself, even though he was sure Wu Yudong would be extremely grateful to Zhao Chang'an after hearing the good news.

After thinking about it, he still offered Yu Chaofei a piece of advice: "Do you know why your face has been slapped so much since you were a child?"

"That's because they don't understand humor."

Yu Chaofei quickly added, "And another thing is that they are too hypocritical. Even though it is something that everyone knows and can see clearly at a glance, they all act as ridiculously as Zhao Gao pointing at a deer and calling it a horse."

"That Mr. Zou has an even more foul mouth than you, so why was he never slapped by anyone but his father?"

"I'm not mean, you've got it wrong."

Zou Xiaojun immediately corrected Zhao Chang'an's erroneous statement.

"Because he has a good father."

It's easy to see that Yu Chaofei just has a big mouth, but he's not a real idiot.

"What does this have to do with my father?"

Zou Xiaojun still denies it.

"Yes, you can also understand it as, because he has real strength that even if his mouth is very foul, no one dares to slap him for the sake of it. Since you don't have such a good father as a backer, then you have to work hard to make yourself more powerful, to become someone important, so that when others want to slap you, they have to consider whether it's worth it."

"Aren't I working hard right now?"

Zhao Chang'an shook his head and said, "It's far from enough. At least until you're truly awesome, you need to watch your mouth. Don't say what you should say, and definitely don't say what you shouldn't say."

"Mr. Zhao, you've confused me. Just say what you have to say."

Yu Chaofei was starting to understand, but he still didn't quite grasp the meaning behind Zhao Chang'an's words.

"So, you're saying that you shouldn't tell anyone about what Zou Shu said about things in Shancheng today? That shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

This is the real purpose behind Zhao Chang'an's long string of nonsense.

Moreover, he still doesn't understand why Zou Huanan would so bluntly discuss Feng Jianfei, Duan Fengqing, and Ji Zhenqian with him during a meal.
