Chapter 1610 Zhou Zhigang's coercion
In fact, when Gong Weize came to Zhou Bingkun to ask for help, Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua both wanted to agree. In their hearts, they still thought it was an honor to help others, not to mention that Gong Weize had always been very caring towards the neighbors of Photon Film.

Before Gong Weize left the Zhou family in disappointment, Zhou Zhigang gave Li Suhua a cryptic look, and Li Suhua naturally understood what he meant.

Li Suhua looked at the old man in front of her with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Bingkun, isn't it just a job for Gong Bin? Why did you just refuse it outright? This is too embarrassing."

"Mom, you should know my situation best. How much money did I take out of home when I left Jichun in 1976?" However, Zhou Bingkun looked at his mother disapprovingly and asked back.

"Huh? I didn't bring a single cent." Zhou's mother responded with a face full of shame.

"That's right! I didn't take a penny with me when I left. Brother Ning took me all the way north, across the border river to the Soviet Union, and then to Vladivostok in the Far East. I then applied for identity documents for Chinese in the Soviet Union, took an international cruise to settle in Hong Kong Island, and applied for a Hong Kong Island ID card. After arriving in Hong Kong Island, he arranged for me to learn English and Cantonese, and even sent someone to send me to Hong Kong University. Finally, he gave me shares in his company. Do you think I can still cause trouble for him now?"

"..."

At this time, Zhou Zhigang on the side sneered and said, "Humph! It's just a low-level employee, how can it be called trouble?"

Zhou Bingkun, however, suppressed his anger as he looked at Zhou Zhigang in front of him and asked, "Dad, there's no way to cure Gong Bin's illness. Who can predict when he'll have a relapse? What if he gets into trouble? How do you want the company and Brother Ning to handle it? Don't forget, he just wasted three tons of soy sauce from the soy sauce factory."

"This..." As expected, Zhou Zhigang was confused by Zhou Bingkun's question.

"Kunlun Group Co., Ltd. is a purely private enterprise, not one of those state-owned factories and enterprises in Jichun. Naturally, we cannot demand that Kunlun Group must benefit the world."

"..."

Zhou's mother noticed Zhou Zhigang's unpleasant expression and looked at Zhou Bingkun again and said, "Bingkun, why don't you give that Su Ning a call and ask him what he thinks. Maybe he doesn't care at all."

"Brother Ning is a righteous man. We can't pretend to be ignorant when we know the truth, right? I, Zhou Bingkun, am not such a shameless person." Zhou Bingkun resolutely rejected his mother's suggestion.

At this time, Zhou Zhigang on the side said sarcastically, "Humph! I think your life has become comfortable, and your conscience has become cold."

"Dad, I don't care how you treat me. I'm your son after all. But I would never do such a jerk thing as to take advantage of others."

"You..." Zhou Zhigang was once again speechless after being confronted by Zhou Bingkun.

Zhou's mother, standing by, quickly tried to smooth things over with a splitting headache, "Alright! Alright! You two just can't talk. You've only just said a few words and you're arguing again."

"..."

Now, Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingkun, father and son, have both realized the problem. It may be that their horoscopes are incompatible. In the original drama, Zhou Zhigang always disliked his youngest son every time he came back.

Zhou Bingkun could always sense Zhou Zhigang's disregard for him, as if Zhou Zhigang had never even looked at him straight in the eye. After all, his heart was always filled with his eldest son Zhou Bingyi and his little sweetheart Zhou Rong.

Zhou Zhigang, who had taken a few deep puffs of his cigarette, suddenly said in a sarcastic tone, "Bingkun, you're a father now, and a student at Hong Kong Island University. I, as your father, can no longer control you. From now on, you'll have to make your own decisions."

Zhou Bingkun, who understood what he was saying, felt particularly chilled. He suppressed his grief and looked at Zhou Zhigang to assure him, "Dad, I understand what you mean. Having overseas connections is not a glorious thing these days. I solemnly promise you and Mom that even if I am arrested and executed one day, I will not cause any trouble for my brother and sister."

"Hmph! You promise? What can you promise?" However, Zhou Zhigang pressed Zhou Bingkun step by step with a sneer on his face.

"Dad, when I decided to leave Jichun, I had already thought about this issue. My original identity is a genuine Suzhou Chinese, and I obtained Hong Kong citizenship as a Suzhou Chinese. Aside from my name being exactly the same as your son Zhou Bingkun, there's no other connection between our household registration and identity."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course! The identification documents that Brother Ning and I obtained in the Soviet Union are genuine, and all the file information is real. Even KGB agents can't find any problems."

"Alright! It seems your friend is very powerful. I hope you won't regret your decision today."

"..." Zhou Bingkun was undoubtedly feeling extremely chilled at this moment. He had never expected that Zhou Zhigang was still thinking about Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong. "Dad, if you're willing, I can provide a death certificate. For example, when your youngest son Zhou Bingkun was trying to escape to Hong Kong, he was shot dead by the border police in Bao'an."

"..." However, Zhou Zhigang couldn't help but feel a little moved. He was still worried that Zhou Bingkun's affairs would affect Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong.

Zhou's mother, standing by, burst into tears, overcome with grief. She loved her youngest son the most in the world. "Wuwuwu... Bingkun, what nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you stabbing your parents in the heart?"

Zhou Bingkun then spoke his heart out with a face full of sorrow, "Dad, Mom, I know what fleeing to Hong Kong means, but there's no turning back now. Of course, I don't regret my decision in my heart. The only thing I can do now is to reassure you."

"..." At this time, Zhou Zhigang was smoking without saying a word, while Li Suhua was sitting there crying.

"Mom, I'm planning to bring Yu Hong and our two children to settle down in Hong Kong Island. Life there is really convenient, the education level is very high, and everything is in line with international standards. Would you like to come with us to Hong Kong Island?"

"What? Going to Hong Kong Island?"

"Yes! Hong Kong Island is a completely different world. Even Beijing and Shanghai are not as developed as there. You can buy whatever you want, and you don't need to provide any additional tickets."

"But what about your father, your brother, and your sister?"

"Mom, my dad has been working in Chongqing's third-tier cities for years, and my brother and sister are also studying, working, and striving to be successful. It doesn't make any sense for you to stay at Photon Film alone to look after the house."

"Then...what about our house?"

"Just lock the door! Can't we just come back as a family when everyone has time to come back for the New Year reunion?"

"But I don't know anyone in Hong Kong? There's no one to chat with me. At least I have Aunt Qiao to keep me company at Photon Film."

"Haha, Mom, Brother Ning will also bring his mother-in-law and family over. There are so many theaters in Hong Kong Island. Some of these theaters perform plays, and some specialize in showing movies. Our Kunlun Group has a film production company under its umbrella. I guarantee you will absolutely be happy here."

"But...but I have never left Jichun?"

"Mom, the weather in Northeast China and Jichun is too cold. It's not like the south where it's spring all year round. I promise you'll like it."

"Bingkun's father, what do you think about this?"

"Suhua, just go and take a look. This is the children's filial piety. If you really don't like it, just come back."

"That's right! Mom, we have had an airport in Jichun for a long time. Now there are direct flights from Beijing to Hong Kong Island, so it is very convenient to go back and forth."

"Okay! Then I'll go to Hong Kong Island and take a look. This way I don't have to worry about you every day."

"Hey! That's right! With you and Yu Hong watching over me, I won't make any mistakes in Hong Kong Island. You know, Hong Kong Island is very prosperous and bustling. I'm really afraid that one day I won't be able to resist the temptation and do something stupid."

"Hmph! How dare you."

"Hey, Mom, as long as you're here, I won't dare to do anything wrong."

"You little bastard! You're such a jerk."

……

Soon Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing made their own decisions. Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian both decided to take their children to Mohe, and Zhou Bingkun also promised to arrange a job for Wu Qian. The canteen of the Mohe warehouse alone needed a large number of people.

However, Sun Ganchao and his wife were unwilling to give up their positions, and ultimately did not decide to follow Zhou Bingkun. After all, being cautious is always the mentality of most people.

"Bingkun, I'm sorry! Yu Lan and I discussed it, and I still don't want to give up the unit's establishment."

"Everyone has their own ambitions! Just make your own decision."

"Bingkun, I heard that you want to take my aunt, wife, and children away this time."

"Yes! My dad, brother, and sister are all too busy. Instead of leaving my mom alone at home, we might as well take her along and treat it as a trip."

"Then your house will be empty, right?" "Huh? Not necessarily! After all, my mom might not be used to living in Hong Kong Island, so we'll send her back when the time comes. Besides, the family still has to come back to reunite during the holidays."

"Then...then can you let our family stay in the house for a few days? My two sisters have returned to the city at the same time, and there really is no room for them."

"This……"

"Bingkun, I've never asked you for anything. I'm really in a difficult situation this time, otherwise I would never have asked for this."

"Gua Chao, I really can't make the decision on this matter. Why don't you go ask my dad?"

"This……"

"Catch up, this matter is really not my fault, it's me who really is not suitable to make the decision. After all, my father is still the head of our family."

"Okay! I understand. I won't let my imagination run wild."

"Catch up, if I want to ask you, I have to ask you quickly, because my dad is leaving on the eighth day of the New Year."

"Eh? Okay."

Then Sun Ganchao personally found Zhou Zhigang and told him his idea again, holding various canned foods, cigarettes and alcohol as gifts.

Zhou Zhigang, however, smoked a cigarette with a melancholy look on his face and thought for a long time. Then he looked at Sun Ganchao in front of him and said, "Ganchao, I agree to lend you the house temporarily."

"Uncle Zhou, thank you! I will definitely take good care of the house."

"Listen to what I have to say first."

"Uncle Zhou, go ahead."

"I won't charge you a penny for the rent! Also, whenever your aunt comes back, or when our family comes back for a reunion, we'll notify you in advance, and you must vacate the space unconditionally."

"Understood! Uncle, I'm definitely not someone who doesn't know what's going on, and I won't make things difficult for you and Aunt."

"That's fine! I'll give you the key after I leave on the eighth day of the new year. Just put our things in the corner and cover them up."

"Uncle, don't worry! Yu Lan and I will definitely make arrangements."

"it is good."

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Guoqing took his family to Mohe Warehouse, accompanied by the deaf-mute Chang Jinbu. In the end, Zhou Bingkun still wanted to help others to the best of his ability.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Bingkun also took his mother, wife and children on a plane, transferring through Beijing Airport and then to Hong Kong Island. Naturally, this made the entire Photon Film envious.

For the remaining two days, Zhou Zhigang stayed at home alone. Looking at the Zhou family that suddenly became quiet, Zhou Zhigang felt very uncomfortable.

"Dad, I'm back."

"Bingyi, haven't you returned to school?"

"I knew the first person was left alone, so I came back to accompany you."

"Hey, I'm an old man now, why do I need you to accompany me?"

"I mainly want to chat with you. As far as I can remember, we haven't chatted for a long time."

"Oh! Yes! When we were little, you and Zhou Rong were the most sensible ones. You never gave me any trouble. Plus, I was busy with work outside every day, so I really didn't know you very well."

"Dad, Bingkun has suddenly grown up. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Hehe, it's true! You brothers and sisters have all grown up, and I, an old man who is stuck in the past, have to step aside."

"Dad, please don't say that. Bingkun and I both respect you very much."

"Hmph! Bingyi, stop trying to please me with nice things."

"Dad, I really mean what I said! Thank you for supporting our family. Without your efforts, Zhou Rong and I wouldn't be so free."

"Hey! But Zhou Bingkun doesn't think so!"

"Dad, you still don't understand. Bingkun is the one who depends on you the most."

"He depends on me?"

"That's right! Not only do I depend on you! I also admire you the most! And of course, I'm the one who most desires your approval."

"..."

"It's a pity that you and Mom's attention are all on Zhou Rong and me. Zhou Rong and I are the good kids in your eyes, while Zhou Bingkun is always the annoying one."

"Have it?"

"Dad, Bingkun is no worse than me and Zhou Rong. It's just that he hasn't found the right path. And you and mom mistakenly believe that being good at studying is the only way to be truly good. So Bingkun has become that pearl that has been covered in dust."

"Humph! He's Mingzhu? I think he's just a dung beetle."

"Dad, have you ever thought about why Suning values Bingkun so much?"

"This……"

"Or is there anything in our Zhou family that he values?"

"..."

“Dad, after all, Suning still values Bingkun as a person and believes that Zhou Bingkun is worthy of his investment and training.”

"Bingyi, but there's nothing good about Bingkun?"

"Dad, you're just too confused! You don't even realize the real situation."

"Bingyi, Bingkun has already agreed to get a fake death certificate. I don't want his situation to affect you and Zhou Rong."

"Dad, are you crazy?"

"Humph! Who can predict the current political situation and policies? Even your father-in-law is just going with the flow, right?"

"This……"
