Chapter 52 Angry Feng Huacheng
Jichun, Jishantang main store, in a private room.

After a round of toasts, the atmosphere in the box became even more lively. The president of Jiangliao University looked at Zhou Bingkun beside him with a slightly dazed look in his eyes, "Teacher Zhou, I just found out a few days ago that you three brothers and sisters are all from the first batch of college students!

Two Peking Universities in Beijing, and one Normal University in Northeast China!"

"Mr. Zhou, I really admire the results of your family education!"

Hearing the praise from the president of the best university in Jiangliao, Zhou Zhigang, Zhou's father, was as happy as if he had eaten honey. "No! It's really the children who have done well!

As for my studies, I often work away from home, so I rarely ask about them!"

"Mr. Zhou is wrong. Parents are the most important teachers and role models for their children!
Children’s success is inseparable from their parents’ education!

Your daughter, Teacher Zhou Rong, is now an associate professor at Jiangliao University!" The president of Jiangliao University said disapprovingly.

"Oh? Really?" Zhou Zhigang, Zhou's father, suddenly showed a surprised expression.

“Of course, the school just announced the results today!
Your daughter, Professor Zhou Rong, is now the youngest associate professor at our Jiangliao University.

The future is truly limitless!"

"Haha, Mr. Zhou, what our principal said makes sense!
I heard your teacher Zhou Rong is a talented literary woman from Peking University in Beijing!" Another school leader also said with a smile.

Seeing the proud look on Zhou Zhigang's father's face, Zhou Bingkun also smiled happily. As children, it is their honor to make their parents proud.

Of course, Zhou Bingkun also knew that the school leaders of Jiangliao University in front of him suddenly mentioned Zhou Rong's affairs at the dinner table today just to take credit for it.

Although Zhou Bingkun is just a businessman, his achievements and status are not low. Whether now or in the future, they may have intersections with Zhou Bingkun. Of course, they need to establish a good relationship with him in advance. After all, it is a cost-effective thing.

Cai Xiaoguang, a name that Zhou Bingkun almost forgot, suddenly appeared in front of him again one day.

After hearing Cai Xiaoguang's explanation, Zhou Bingkun realized that it was because of his sudden warning to him and Zhou Bingyi during the Spring Festival of 1976 that a gap was created between him and Cai Xiaoguang.

At the end of 1977, the first college entrance examination was resumed, and he was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. He was also harassed by the director of his former unit, the tractor factory. However, this time he did not come to Zhou Bingkun or ask Zhou Bingyi for help, but looked for other channels.

"Brother Xiaoguang, you are awesome!
He turned out to be a top student at the Beijing Film Academy.

Now he's the head of the troupe!"

"No! What am I doing?
There's no way I can compare to your achievements, brother-in-law!"

"Haha, Brother Xiaoguang, let's stop bragging about our business!

You must have come to see me for no reason this time!"

"Huh? Yes! I came to you this time specifically to ask for your help!"

"Oh? Brother Xiaoguang, tell me if there is anything you need my help with!" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.

"Our troupe is mainly focused on plays, but I want to try making a movie, and we have a funding gap!"

After hearing Cai Xiaoguang's explanation, Zhou Bingkun thought to himself, Cai Xiaoguang, it's not that you have a funding gap, but that you have no funds at all.

Of course, Zhou Bingkun would not reveal it.

"Brother Xiaoguang, there is no problem with funding!

I just need you to help me advertise my company in the movie and future drama performances!"

"Ah? This"

Cai Xiaoguang's expression was very interesting. He was surprised at first, but when he heard Zhou Bingkun's conditions, Cai Xiaoguang became a little conflicted again.

There is nothing wrong with investors wanting to advertise, but Cai Xiaoguang considers himself a perfectionist and does not want his work to have any flaws.

“Bingkun, my pursuit of art has always been very demanding!
I'm worried that your request will cause a conflict with my work!"

"Haha, I understand what Brother Xiaoguang means!

I don’t actually run many businesses. I own the restaurant chain Jishantang, the real estate company Zhou’s Construction Engineering Company, and the bookstore chain Zhou’s Bookstore!
Actually, all of these can appear in your films and plays. As long as the plot connections are handled well, they won't necessarily cause plot conflicts." Zhou Bingkun explained disapprovingly.

After hearing Zhou Bingkun's explanation, Cai Xiaoguang finally became interested. After a long period of consideration, he finally bowed his proud head to the capital. It's not Cai Xiaoguang's fault that he was poor and short-sighted. He had put so much effort into this first film in his life, but he couldn't get the most important investment.

As for this time he came to Zhou Bingkun, it was also Cai Xiaoguang's attempt to save the situation. He just came here to try his luck. Unexpectedly, he really got Zhou Bingkun's investment. It was really a pleasant surprise.

After discussing some details, the investment contract was finally signed. Cai Xiaoguang got the film investment and left Zhou Bingkun with satisfaction.

Feng Huacheng was a little surprised to hear that Cai Xiaoguang had actually obtained film investment from Zhou Bingkun. It was he who reminded Cai Xiaoguang to come to Zhou Bingkun, but Feng Huacheng did not expect that it would actually be done.

Feng Huacheng couldn't help but think of his recent predicament, and he also wanted to try his luck with his brother-in-law Zhou Bingkun.

"Bingkun, our Writers Association is electing a vice president this time!
I, your brother-in-law, am determined to get him!
Bingkun, please help me think of a solution!" Feng Huacheng did not have any intention of being polite to Zhou Bingkun, but instead asked directly.

"Brother-in-law, I just run a small business. I have no chance of having a say in such an elegant place as your Writers Association!"

"Bingkun, don't you have a good relationship with the president of Jiangliao University?

Why don't you just introduce me to him?"

"Huh? What does this have to do with your Writers Association election?"

"Haha, Bingkun, you always focus on business and ignore the most important issue of interpersonal relationships!
The president of Jiangliao University has great influence in the Northeast cultural circle!"

"Haha, what my brother-in-law said makes sense!
Just recently, my sister Zhou Rong was awarded the title of associate professor because of the relationship between the principal and me.

If I ask him to help you now, it would seem like I’m really ungrateful!
So, brother-in-law, can you wait a little longer? "

Feng Huacheng was very angry when he heard the rejection in Zhou Bingkun's words. He didn't expect that Zhou Bingkun was so hateful and didn't give him, his brother-in-law, any face at all.

"Humph!"

Feng Huacheng didn't argue anymore, but snorted coldly and turned away.

Seeing his cheap brother-in-law Feng Huacheng leave, Zhou Bingkun shook his head helplessly. He thought Feng Huacheng was a young man who never considered the consequences of his actions.

In the original drama, Zhou's mother Li Suhua's paralysis was also caused by her son-in-law. If he had not acted so willfully and gone to the capital to cause trouble, the Zhou family would not have been frightened.

Of course, Feng Huacheng and Zhou Rong are one and the same, and they both have responsibilities, so Zhou Bingkun chose to stay away from them in this life.

Zhou Rong saw Feng Huacheng return home angrily, and then exchanged a helpless look with her daughter Feng Yue beside her. Then she asked with a smile, "Hualeng, what's wrong with you?"

"What else can I do? I'm mad at your brother Zhou Bingkun!"

"Ah? What's going on?"

"Our Writers Association is holding an election recently, and there's a good chance that I'll be elected as vice president.

I wanted Zhou Bingkun to help me, but he refused.

Then I asked him to introduce me to the president of your Jiangliao University, but he refused."

"Dad, doesn't my mom always say that my uncle is selfish?
Why would he care about something that has no benefit to him? " Feng Yue, standing aside, showed even greater disgust towards his uncle Zhou Bingkun.

"What Yueyue said is absolutely right!

Zhou Bingkun is selfish.

He thought it would be profitable to invest in Cai Xiaoguang, so he agreed to Cai Xiaoguang's request for help.

He thought there was no benefit in helping me, Feng Huacheng, so he simply refused! "Feng Huacheng agreed with his daughter Feng Yue's point of view.

"Hey! Huacheng, let's be more positive!
Since Zhou Bingkun is unwilling to help you, I will go to see my uncle Professor Wang tomorrow.

He is also from your Writers Association, he will definitely be able to speak up for you!"

"Really? That's great!" Feng Huacheng suddenly looked at Zhou Rong in surprise.

Because of Zhou Rong's words, the Feng family, which had seemed dull, suddenly became cheerful, and then the three members of the family were filled with laughter.
