Chapter 788: Three Heroes from One Family

At this time, Zhou Zhigang had been forced into a desperate situation by Suning. Looking back, he found that he had no way to retreat. He wanted to refuse his youngest son's request and then said "wishful thinking" very casually. However, reason told him that he could not continue to pursue his career. You know, it is rare to have three outstanding people in one family.

"Okay! I'll go back to the company and submit my resignation now." Zhou Zhigang sighed and gave up. He was powerless to resist the joint attack of his two sons.

"Ah? Dad, will your leader approve your resignation? You know, you are the technical backbone of the unit?" At this time, Zhou Bingyi was surprised, but he couldn't help but worry about Zhou Zhigang.

"Bingyi, I only just realized that Zhou Bingkun had been preparing for this. From the very beginning, when he wrote home to me, he mailed me some books on architecture, all of which he had copied by hand. There were books on building bridges, skyscrapers, and highways. He also suggested that I hold nightly technical exchange meetings at work every day and that I pay more attention to cultivating technical talent within the unit. At the time, I was particularly puzzled by his intentions, but now I realize it was all to help me resign smoothly."

"Dad, maybe you are overthinking it. Bingkun is not that kind of person." After hearing Zhou Zhigang's angry explanation, Zhou Bingyi began to admire Su Ning.

"Hmph! Bingyi, if Zhou Bingkun had no brains, would he have given us a stunning performance? If he had no brains, would he have forced me to retire today? If he had no brains, would he have liked to do things in silence?" Zhou Zhigang asked back in anger at this moment, and could not help but come up with three very powerful parallel sentences.

"dad"

"Alright! I've finally figured it out. From now on, the world will be yours, the three of you. An old guy like me will just have to stand aside."

"dad"

"Bingyi, you go back first! Tell Zhou Bingkun to stop messing around and report to Tsinghua University. I will complete the resignation procedures as soon as possible." At this time, Zhou Zhigang waved his hand somewhat listlessly, and then agreed to Suning and Zhou Bingyi's requests.

"Dad, I'm sorry!" Zhou Bingyi certainly understood Zhou Zhigang's loneliness at this moment. After all, this was the career he loved and stuck to all his life.

"Bingyi, you three siblings have done nothing wrong to me, because life is a relay race with no end. It requires generation after generation to run forward. Now the baton has been passed to you three siblings. From now on, our Zhou family will depend on you." Zhou Zhigang suddenly felt deeply moved and patted his eldest son's shoulder to encourage him.

"."

Zhou Bingyi always knew that his father Zhou Zhigang was a man of his word. Since he had promised to complete the resignation procedures as soon as possible, he believed that Zhou Zhigang would return to Jichun soon. Then he boarded the train to Beijing alone again, and suddenly felt a melancholy about the changing times.

At this time, Suning was also going through the resignation procedures in the unit's guesthouse. This time in the battle of wits and courage with Zhou Zhigang, Suning can actually be said to have won a great victory. After all, the stubborn and face-conscious Zhou Zhigang is unreasonable. He does not care about his family's thoughts when doing anything, because in his heart he is the head of the Zhou family.

"Bingkun, actually you don't have to go through the resignation procedures. There is no problem at all in studying at a university while working, and you can also have a good income." Director Lin looked at the notice in his hand in shock, and soon looked at Su Ning in front of him with reluctance.

"Director Lin, it is unlikely that I will return to your guesthouse after I graduate from university in four years, so there is naturally no need for me to take advantage of your guesthouse." At this time, Su Ning's attitude of resignation was full of determination, and his new life was about to begin.

"Bingkun, I now finally understand why the old leaders like you so much, because you, like them, attach great importance to principles." Although Su Ning firmly offered his resignation to him at this time, Director Lin admired him even more.

"Director, please stop flattering me. There's no comparison between me and Uncle Ma and the others. Now I'm just following in their footsteps at best." At this moment, Su Ning still smiled very modestly.

"Yes! The old leader is very principled. As long as we can follow his lead, it will be great."

In fact, if Suning had not resigned and stayed in the guesthouse, no one would have said anything, and he could have gotten a very good salary, but Suning did not want to do anything like occupying the toilet without doing anything. After all, some benefits are not so easy to take. The main reason is that Suning really cannot afford to lose face. Suning cares very much about what others say behind his back.

After completing all the resignation procedures, Su Ning officially bid farewell to the place where he had worked for more than five years. He felt very comfortable working here and did not encounter any annoying problems. After all, he got in through the relationship between Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen.

Then Su Ning went straight to the compound where Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen lived. At the gate of the compound, he asked the on-duty personnel to call Ma Shouchang. Only after getting permission was he able to pass smoothly. You know, now Ma Shouchang has also been reinstated.

"Bingkun, I just received a call from your Director Lin, saying that you have completed the resignation procedures?" Ma Shouchang looked at Su Ning and asked, trying to suppress the surprise in his heart.

"Yes! I will be reporting to Tsinghua University soon, so I took the initiative to resign. It will be impossible for me to return to work in the guesthouse in the future." Suning explained with a nonchalant smile.

"That's right! We can't take advantage of the group." Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen nodded with relief.

"Uncle Ma, Aunt Qu, I've already made an agreement with Zheng Juan that I'll come to your house every week. If you have any inconveniences, you can call Zheng Juan. I guarantee I'll be there whenever you call."

"Bingkun, you're not doing the right thing! You've got someone to support you, and Zheng Juan is responsible for the family affairs. How can you have the energy to care about my affairs?"

"Uncle Ma, my dad has decided to retire. When he comes back, my mom and Zheng Juan will have a much easier time."

"Oh? Your father shouldn't be of retirement age yet, right?"

"No! This is considered early retirement. Besides, I introduced him to Jiangliao Sanjian. He can go home for dinner every day. Actually, I think this is quite good for him."

"That's right! The weather in the mountains of Chongqing is not very friendly to the elderly. Plus, your father does heavy physical labor, so it would be great if he could retire early."

"Uncle Ma, Aunt Qu, I thought so too. That's why I asked my brother to go to Chongqing in person. My dad was a little reluctant at first."

"Come on! I really didn't expect you to do so well in the exam. Your Aunt Qu and I are so proud of it."

"Uncle Ma, this mainly depends on your long-term teaching, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stick to it."

At this moment, an old lady came straight to the Ma family. When she saw Su Ning sitting on the sofa in the living room, she looked at Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen in surprise and said, "Old Ma, Little Qu, do you have guests?"

"Sister Jin, you're here? This is Zhou Bingkun, Lao Ma's last disciple and the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination in Jiang Liao."

"Zhou Bingkun?" Jin Yueji looked at Su Ning in surprise, unconsciously adjusting her glasses. "Uncle Ma, Aunt Qu, since you have guests, I'll be leaving first." Su Ning immediately recognized the visitor and stood up to say goodbye to Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen.

"Okay! Let me know in advance when you decide on a day to register, and your Aunt Qu and I will see you off at the station."

"it is good."

Then Suning turned around and walked out of the Ma family. When he passed by Jin Yueji at the door, he just stopped, bowed his head and smiled to greet her. He left the Ma family without saying anything. However, Jin Yueji showed a meaningful look and watched Suning leave.

"Sister Jin, come and sit here." At this time, Qu Xiuzhen hurriedly greeted Jin Yueji.

"Okay." Only then did Jin Yueji react. She smiled and walked to the sofa in the living room. Then she looked up at Ma Shouchang and asked, "Old Ma, I didn't expect you could train a top scorer in the college entrance examination."

"Haha, it's mainly because Bingkun is smart and studious. I didn't actually contribute much."

"Old Ma, I can hear from your tone that you really admire Zhou Bingkun?" Jin Yueji looked at Ma Shouchang inquiringly and asked.

"Of course! Actually, I've known Zhou Bingkun for quite some time. At first, we were just chess friends with a common hobby. Later, I fell while bathing in the bathhouse, and he braved the freezing cold to take me to the No. 131 Hospital. Otherwise, I might not have been able to save my leg."

"Haha, Old Ma, it seems that you two have fallen in love with each other over time?" Jin Yueji couldn't help but teased with a smile, realizing that Su Ning and Ma Shouchang had a close relationship.

"Haha, yes! Later I introduced him to a job at the company's guesthouse, and he soon became the head chef thanks to his cooking skills. This kid's hard work did not disappoint me."

"Oh? Zhou Bingkun can cook?" Jin Yueji couldn't help but be surprised at this time.

"Sister Jin, Zhou Bingkun's cooking skills are really good. Not only is he proficient in all of our eight major cuisines, he can even cook some French meals." At this time, Qu Xiuzhen on the side also praised Su Ning without hesitation.

"Really? Then this Zhou Bingkun is extraordinary." At this time, Jin Yueji showed a thoughtful expression and nodded, and couldn't help but think of Su Ning's brother Zhou Bingyi.

"Ah! The main reason is that this kid is too wild. His mind is not on things like cooking at all. As soon as he was admitted to university, he quit his job at the guesthouse."

"."

Jin Yueji and Ma Shouchang and his wife are old acquaintances. Of course, she knows that Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen are righteous and hate evil. At the same time, she can also see that Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen really like Su Ning. At this time, Jin Yueji couldn't help but think of her daughter Hao Dongmei, and naturally she thought of her daughter's ex-boyfriend Zhou Bingyi with a complicated face.

"Sister Jin, I remember your Dongmei was also admitted to Tsinghua University?"

"Yes! I got 372 points."

"Amazing!" Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen couldn't help but praise at the same time. Then Ma Shouchang suddenly smiled and suggested, "Sister Jin, Zhou Bingkun has also been accepted by Tsinghua University. Why don't you let Dongmei and Zhou Bingkun go to Tsinghua together? They can also take care of each other on the way."

"Forget it! Our Dongmei is a bit slow and doesn't like getting along with others."

"Ah! That's a shame. It seems like she's changed a lot in the past few years."

"Yeah! It's all because of what happened between me and Lao Hao."

When Jin Yueji returned from visiting Ma Shouchang's house, she saw that the housekeeper had already prepared lunch. She then went to the bathroom to wash her hands before sitting down to eat with her family. At this time, Father Hao looked at Jin Yueji in confusion and asked, "Dongmei's mother, did you visit Old Ma's house again?"

"Well, Lao Hao, Dongmei, guess who I met at Lao Ma's house?"

"Who is it? Could it be Uncle Ma's son who has returned?" Sure enough, both Hao's father and Hao Dongmei showed puzzled expressions, and Hao Dongmei was so curious that she couldn't express her guess.

"No! It's Zhou Bingkun."

"Zhou Bingkun?" Hao's father and Hao Dongmei looked at each other in surprise. Of course, they were familiar with this name, and Hao Dongmei also had a complicated expression on her face.

"It's said that Lao Ma and Zhou Bingkun were very close, and he even introduced Zhou Bingkun to a job at our company's guesthouse. Later, Zhou Bingkun became the head chef of the guesthouse thanks to his cooking skills, and he also took the college entrance examination this year and scored a perfect score."

"Chef? Full marks?" Hao Dongmei immediately showed a confused expression at this moment, because the brother Zhou Bingyi mentioned was a hopeless person, and the plot was too different from that in her dream. Hao Dongmei couldn't help but question the dream that she believed in.

"Yes! I heard that Lao Ma also accepted Zhou Bingkun as his last disciple. It can be seen that Lao Ma and Xiao Qu really like Zhou Bingkun."

"So the Zhou family has three college graduates?"

"Yes! Two Peking University and one Tsinghua University. Now I am really curious about Zhou Bingyi's parents."

Ever since Hao Dongmei's parents were reinstated and the college entrance examination had just been resumed, Hao Dongmei had been convinced of the authenticity of her magical dream. However, after hearing about Zhou Bingkun today, Hao Dongmei once again had deep doubts and realized that the so-called dream was just an illusion that kept her alive.

After figuring everything out, Hao Dongmei could only believe that her parents' reinstatement was a beautiful association caused by what she saw about Cai Xiaoguang's father. As for the country's resumption of the college entrance examination, it was just a fantasy she had created because she wanted to continue to survive. It was just a coincidence that both the beautiful association and the fantasy came true, which did not mean much meaning to her dream. At least the Zhou Bingkun in the dream was completely different from the reality.

Of course, Hao Dongmei knew Zhou Bingyi's recent situation and was genuinely happy about his success. Although she felt sorry for the relationship between the two, Hao Dongmei still believed that it was the best choice for everyone. You know, true love is not just about staying together forever.
