The world of film and television begins from childhood

"........."

Li Suhua was obviously overwhelmed by so many requests.

When Zhou Chen saw these people making things difficult for Li Suhua, he was about to lose his temper on the spot, but at this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded at the door.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? I heard you guys making noise before I even entered the yard. What are you doing?"

Zhou Zhigang and Ma Shouchang walked in slowly from the door. It was Zhou Zhigang who was speaking, but his expression looked very unhappy at this moment, as if he was suppressing his anger.

Chapter 628: An unexpected surprise, Zheng Juan is pregnant

Zhou Zhigang's sudden appearance made the noisy scene fall into silence in an instant, and the women who had just shouted at Li Suhua all fell silent.

"Dad, you're back."

Li Suhua changed her expression and stood up with a smile on her face. She walked to Zhou Zhigang's side and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"I ate it on the construction site. What's going on?"

Li Suhua smiled and replied, "Everyone heard that we moved to a new house, so they all came to visit us."

"Oh."

Zhou Zhigang forced a smile and said to these people: "We are very happy that everyone can come to visit us. Chunyan's mother, why didn't Brother Qiao come?"

Chunyan's mother laughed dryly and said, "Her father had something to do, so we came here today."

Zhou Chen was too lazy to listen to these people's nonsense, so he said directly to Zhou Zhigang: "Look, Aunt Qiao and the others came to me hoping that I could arrange a job for their child at our company's current construction site. Dad, Uncle Ma, you are both the person in charge of the construction site now. Tell me, are there any vacancies on the construction site?"

Zhou Zhigang and Ma Shouchang were both experienced and shrewd people. With just this one sentence, they immediately understood what Zhou Chen meant.

Zhou Zhigang did not answer immediately, because he also came from Guangzi Film, and these people were all acquaintances. He could not just refuse without thinking.

However, Ma Shouchang did not have so many concerns. His previous identity made him know clearly what these people were planning. It was difficult for the Zhou family to refuse, but it was no problem for him.

"Bingkun, you said they want to find a job on the construction site?"

When Zhou Chen saw Ma Shouchang taking the opportunity to speak, he knew what he meant, so he took the initiative to cooperate and said, "Yes, Uncle Ma, these are all our old neighbors. If I can help, how can I not help? But you also know that I can't make the decision on this matter. The construction site has been open for more than two months, and I haven't intervened. Now I can't intervene either."

After talking to Ma Shouchang for a few words, Zhou Chen quickly introduced him to the people present.

"My dear aunts, this is my uncle Ma. He used to be a high-ranking official in the country. Now he has been invited by our boss to help look after the construction site. He is in charge of the personnel management on the construction site. Even as a manager, I have to listen to him."

When the women heard what Zhou Chen said, they all looked hesitant. It was obvious that they didn't believe what Zhou Chen said. Is this old man the person in charge?

Zhou Chen saw their disbelief, so he said, "Aunts, if you don't believe it, you can ask Chunyan and Debao. They both know Uncle Ma's identity."

Then everyone's attention turned to Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao.

Qiao Chunyan had no choice but to tell the truth: "Uncle Ma is indeed a senior leader of the country, but he has retired. I don't know why he is in charge of my brother's construction site now."

Ma Shouchang showed his leadership aura, pointed at them and said, "You all heard what Bingkun said, the construction of this site is a key project of the city. I am now the person in charge of that place. I can tell you with certainty that the construction site staff are all here now. However, since you are all neighbors of Lao Zhou's family, I can give you a chance."

"There are no formal positions, but I can provide you with temporary positions. The work is easy. You are responsible for moving bricks. The salary is three yuan a day. You work 20 days a month. You will be provided with a meal at noon. If you are willing, you can go to the construction site tomorrow. If you don't want to, then I can't do anything about it. So let's go."

After Ma Shouchang's retort, the neighbors in Guangzi Pie didn't know what to say for a moment and looked at each other.

In the end, the neighbors in Guangzi Pian still failed to succeed and left in a bad mood one by one. In the end, only Qiao Chunyan and her husband and Wu Qian were left.

"elder brother."

Qiao Chunyan flattered Zhou Chen: "Brother, we have known each other for so many years, and you know our family situation. Debao is unemployed now. Please help us. As long as you can find a job for Debao, you can do anything."

Zhou Chen said, "Didn't Uncle Ma just say that there are no vacancies now? Why don't you try moving bricks? Three dollars a day, twenty days a month, you can make sixty."

To be honest, sixty yuan for twenty days is not a low salary in this era. In a factory, ordinary workers may not even earn that much, not to mention that one has to work in a factory for a full month.

However, Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao did not look very happy. They came to Zhou Chen specifically, not to work as temporary workers.

What's more, they don't care about 60 yuan a month.

Qiao Chunyan spoke again, "Brother, Debao's health is not very good. He can't do heavy work at all. I heard that Ganchao is now following his godfather as a construction site manager. Why don't you find a similar position for Debao? Debao used to be a workshop director in the soy sauce factory. He will definitely be no worse than Ganchao in this aspect."

When Zhou Chen heard that Qiao Chunyan wanted to be a manager right away, he felt amused. She might not be very capable, but she had a big heart.

Zhou Chen did not answer him directly, but turned to Ma Shouchang and asked: "Uncle Ma, can we arrange for someone to be in charge over there?"

Ma Shouchang knew Cao Debao. In order to curry favor with the couple, Cao Debao would visit them during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.

"Debao, didn't you say you were doing business before? Why do you want to go to work now?"

Cao Debao said ashamedly: "Uncle Ma, I have no choice. Business is not that easy to do. I lost a lot of money before, and then I understood this truth. I think it is more stable to work."

Ma Shouchang nodded: "That's a pity, there really is no room at the construction site, you should think of other ways."

Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao naturally wouldn't believe it. Before they came, they went to the construction site to take a look. There was a large fenced-off area there. A quick look showed that there were at least hundreds of people working there. How could such a large area not accommodate one person?

At this time, Wu Qian suddenly whispered to Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, do you think I can go to the construction site? I don't want anything else, just like Yu Hong, to cook for the workers."

Originally, she had never thought about the work on the construction site, but not long ago she heard that Yu Hong actually went to work on the construction site with Sun Ganchao. Although she was just a cook, the salary was not low, and there were also various subsidies.

Even under her indirect hint, Yu Hong, who was innocent, said that she could go to work in the factory after it was built.

Wu Qian didn't care about cooking at the construction site, but when she heard that after the construction was finished, she could go to work in the newly built factory, she was very excited.

In her opinion, Zhou Chen is a capable and knowledgeable man. The factory he is responsible for is definitely not comparable to those factories in Jichun, so what she is eyeing is the opportunity to work in the factory in the future.

She originally wanted Xiao Guoqing to go to Zhou Chen to plead for mercy, but when Xiao Guoqing heard this, he started cursing at her on the spot, saying that she was ungrateful and did not know when to advance or retreat, and she was unwilling to go out to find Zhou Chen no matter what.

She had no choice but to give in, so she teamed up with Qiao Chunyan to create what happened today.

Zhou Chen already knew exactly who Wu Qian was.

"Wu Qian, to be honest, the number of people cooking over there, including Yu Hong, has exceeded the quota, and we really can't add any more now. So, if we need someone later, I will definitely let you go over, okay?"

Such a direct rejection made Wu Qian's face look particularly ugly.

"Bingkun, you can't do this. Our Guoqing treats you as his best buddy. You can't forget your roots just because you are rich."

Zhou Chen's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a cold tone: "Wu Qian, I am speaking to you in a nice way to give Guoqing face. Don't push your luck. It's already late. Go back quickly. If you have anything else to say, let Guoqing tell me."

"Juan'er, show the guests out."

After saying that, Zhou Chen ignored Wu Qian, Qiao Chunyan and the others and sat down without even looking at them.

Qiao Chunyan and the other two also looked livid. Seeing that Zhou Chen had made up his mind, they had no choice but to leave.

After everyone left, Li Suhua sighed, "Oh, what a big deal! Who knows what the neighbors in Guangzi Village will say about our family in the future."

Zhou Zhigang's face also looked unhappy. He snorted angrily, "Look at it however you want. We have a clear conscience. We are not afraid of what they will say. At most, we can just go to Guangzi less often in the future."

He felt bad when he said this, because Guangzipian was the place where he had lived the longest.

But when he thought about the faces of those people just now, he felt that it was the right thing to do.

Ma Shouchang advised, "Lao Zhou, Bingkun, don't think too much. This kind of thing is really normal. Some people just can't stand seeing others do well. You can't start this, because once you start this, there will be more trouble in the future."

Zhou Zhigang nodded in agreement, then looked at Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, you did the right thing just now. You can't offend these people. If they come looking for you again in the future, you can push it onto us two old men and see if they dare to come looking for us."

His son had become a big boss, and he had not thought about severing ties with his former neighbors. However, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that these people came to his house like they were forcing him to do something.

"I know what to do."

Zhou Chen was also very upset. In fact, he had guessed that something like this would happen. If they had come to him directly, it would have been fine, but these people actually came to their house and said those sarcastic words in front of Li Suhua and Zheng Juan. He couldn't tolerate this.

I thought what happened tonight would be the end, but who knew that this was just the beginning.

In the next few days, many acquaintances from the Guangzi Pian came to the Zhou family, hoping that the Zhou family could help them. Not only the Guangzi Pian people, but also other people came to the Zhou family for help, making the Zhou family restless for the past few days.

But Zhou Chen and others never gave in, so although it made many people unhappy in the end, it did not affect the mood of the Zhou family.

Time flies, and autumn is here in the blink of an eye.

"Bingkun, according to the design you showed me, we will be able to complete the outer frame in a few months. As for the internal structure, it may take longer."

In the study, Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Chen were discussing the progress of the construction site.

I have to say that the speed of infrastructure construction of Chinese people is amazing. In less than half a year, the foundation of the pharmaceutical factory has been laid, and a lot of construction has been done on it.

Zhou Chen said: "We don't need to rush. Now that a lot of the factory buildings have been completed, we will start to build dormitory buildings. Before the factory is operational, we must first arrange accommodation for the workers."

Zhou Zhigang asked doubtfully: "Aren't you going to hire local people from Jichun for your pharmaceutical factory?"

"Of course not. We will definitely hire mostly local workers. But even if they are locals, we still need to build dormitories. If workers live in the factory, they will have stronger cohesion."

Zhou Chen briefly explained it to Zhou Zhigang. After all, Zhou Zhigang had been working for many years, so he understood what Zhou Chen meant after listening.

"Dad, Bingkun, it's time to eat."

Hearing Zheng Juan's voice, Zhou Chen and Zhou Zhigang walked out of the study.

At the dinner table, Zhou Zhigang was still talking about work with Zhou Chen, which made Li Suhua very dissatisfied. She thought her husband would be able to spend more time with her after he retired.

As a result, after just two or three months of companionship, he became impatient. After Zhou Chen found him a job, he was busy with work all day long, even when he returned home.

If there was one good thing, it was that ever since Zhou Zhigang started working, no matter what she said to him, he never talked back, as if he had lost his temper. He also often tried to please her and asked her to bring more food to the construction site.

After a few months, she gradually got used to it. It was good this way. At least her husband could go home to sleep every day and she could see him every day.

"Talk less while eating. If you have anything to say, talk after you eat."

Zhou Zhigang shrank his neck and winked at Zhou Chen.

However, Zhou Chen did not look at him at this time, but stared at his wife with a puzzled look.

"Juan'er, give me your hand."

Zheng Juan was a little surprised by Zhou Chen's look. After hearing Zhou Chen's words, she asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

As he said that, he still stretched out his hand in front of Zhou Chen.

He held Zheng Juan's hand in his palm with one hand and began to take her pulse with the other hand.

Zhou Chen's actions made everyone at the table look at him.

Feng Yue couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, is aunt sick?"

They were no strangers to taking the pulse, because from childhood to adulthood, whenever they were sick, it was Zhou Chen who took their pulse.

So when they saw Zhou Chen taking Zheng Juan's pulse, they thought Zheng Juan was sick.

Zhou Chen did not answer Feng Yue, but after taking Feng Yue's pulse for a while, his brows relaxed.

Zheng Juan asked nervously: "Bingkun, am I sick?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are not sick, you are pregnant."

"what?"

Zheng Juan screamed in shock. This was dozens of times more surprising than when she knew she was sick.

Zhou Zhigang and others were also confused, but after the shock, the three children quickly showed surprise.

"Uncle, you said that auntie has a baby?"

"Well, my aunt does have a baby."

After receiving Zhou Chen's affirmative answer, Feng Yue and the other two were extremely excited.

Zhou Cong shouted excitedly: "That's great, I'm going to have little brothers and sisters, I'm finally not the youngest anymore."

Having been the youngest for so many years, Zhou Cong was more excited than his older brothers and sisters at this moment. His mother was pregnant, which meant that he would have younger brothers and sisters soon, and he would no longer be the youngest.

After Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua reacted, their faces were filled with surprise.

Li Suhua asked nervously, "Bingkun, Juan'er is already 37 years old this year. Will she be pregnant? Will there be any impact?"

Zheng Juan also stared at her husband with a nervous face. Knowing that she was pregnant, her emotions were very complicated. She was definitely happy, but she was also worried. Thirty-seven years old is considered an advanced age for mothers.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay. I know Juan'er's health best. She is in good health. Most women in their thirties are not as healthy as her."

Zhou Chen has been taking good care of Zheng Juan over the years. He is planning to live with Zheng Juan for the rest of his life, so naturally he has to take good care of her health.

This pregnancy was indeed beyond his expectations, they had no plan for it at all.

But although it was an accident, when he knew Zheng Juan was pregnant, he was filled with infinite joy.

Zhou Zhigang laughed loudly: "That's great, our Zhou family is going to have a new member."

As a grandfather, he naturally wanted to see many sons and grandchildren. He had long since given up counting on his eldest son, but fortunately his youngest son did not disappoint him.
