Zhou Yong, who had been depressed for a long time, was finally forced to look for a job again due to the pressure of life, but he couldn't find one after searching for a long time.
On the one hand, it was Zhou Yong’s own reasons. He had been the workshop director for several years. Now if he were asked to be an ordinary worker, he would definitely not want to do that.
But in reality, even if he wants to find a factory job, it is not that easy. Not to mention becoming a cadre, he can't even become a formal worker. At most, he can only be a temporary worker.
From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.
How could Zhou Yong be willing to be a temporary worker? He would rather stay at home and do nothing than be a temporary worker.
This also led to the fact that after losing his job, he became the same as those laid-off workers, no, even worse than those laid-off workers.
When others are laid off, at least they are willing to do hard work to earn money, but he is not willing to do that and only wants to find a better job.
Zhou Chen, who had been paying attention to Zhou Yong's experience, was naturally very satisfied and made another appointment to meet with Director Guan.
"Director Guan, I won't say anything more. Thank you very much."
Director Guan laughed and said, "I should be the one thanking you. Chen Jianghe, whom you introduced, is really capable. We have so much inventory in our factory, and he alone helped us sell nearly one-third of it in just one month. It's true that heroes emerge young."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "That also depends on Director Guan giving him this opportunity."
"The opportunity is an opportunity, and the ability is real. To be honest, if the situation in the factory was not special, I would really like him to help us find sales channels and sell all the goods."
At this point, Director Guan sighed and said that state-owned factories are different from private factories. They do not only pursue efficiency, but sometimes there are things other than efficiency that cannot be told to outsiders.
"Not much more to say, Director Guan, let's drink."
When they returned home in the evening, Luo Yuzhu prepared water for Zhou Chen to wash his feet.
"Your sister-in-law came again today, but I didn't let her in. She made a lot of noise at the door of our house, and I couldn't help but quarrel with her for a few words."
After hearing this, Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Okay, you didn't disappoint me. You did the right thing. We don't cause trouble, but that doesn't mean we are afraid of it. When you meet someone like this, you can't be polite to her. You should scold her and chase her away. Don't worry about others and let us watch."
"That being said, if she keeps coming here and keeps doing this, it won't be a big deal."
Luo Yuzhu looked worried. She was not a fearful person, but if Zhou Yong and his wife were shameless, that would be troublesome.
Zhou Chen said: "Don't think so. I know these two people. The more you worry about them, the more they will take advantage of you. So you must not be polite to them."
"I understand. Leave this to me. I've traveled a lot in the past few years and have encountered all kinds of difficult people. Why would I be afraid of her?"
Luo Yuzhu was also quite ruthless. She mainly felt that it would be bad for Zhou Chen if the quarrel between brothers became too ugly.
But since Zhou Chen said so, she doesn't have to worry so much. At most, she will sacrifice her own face and cannot let her man have a bad reputation.
Chen Daguang has been in high spirits these days. After Zhou Chen asked him to entertain Xu Ruijie, he often followed Xu Ruijie to the table and got to know a lot of people. Even when Xu Ruijie left Yiwu, he took him to Pengcheng and they only came back two days ago.
After returning, Chen Daguang immediately went to find Zhou Chen.
"Brother, after going out with Mr. Xu this time, I finally gained some knowledge. What you said before was so right. Our Yiwu is really too small. It can't be compared with Pengcheng at all. If I hadn't been there in person, I really couldn't believe that there would be such a good place. It's really great."
At the dinner table, Chen Daguang flattered Zhou Chen, and then talked about what he had seen and heard during this trip, and he never stopped talking.
In addition to Zhou Chen, there were Qiaogu and Chen Jianghe at the table. Chen Jianghe had not been out for a while and was doing business around Yiwu. Today, Chen Daguang was treating everyone and specially called him to come as well.
Zhou Chen had no expression on his face, just maintained a faint smile, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Chen Daguang's words.
Chen Jianghe said: "I went to Pengcheng a few years ago. It is much more developed and open than here. However, Daguang, Pengcheng is very good, but Yiwu is our root. Yiwu also has potential."
Chen Daguang said disapprovingly: "What potential does it have? It can't be compared with Pengcheng at all. Brother Jimao, how long have you not been to Pengcheng? If you go and take a look now, you will know if I am right."
"Da Guang, you seem a little bit off."
Chen Jianghe pointed at Chen Daguang and shook his head. He could see that Chen Daguang had become even more arrogant after his trip.
Although what Chen Daguang said was not wrong, Yiwu was indeed incomparable to Pengcheng, but he disagreed with Chen Daguang's tone and attitude.
"Pengcheng has its own advantages, and Yiwu has its own advantages."
Chen Daguang still didn't agree, and turned to Zhou Chen and said, "Brother, you have seen the world, you must know that what I said is right, right?"

Chapter 789 Qiu Yingjie gets married, Luo's father comes to visit
Chen Jianghe could notice that Chen Daguang was starting to drift away, so how could Zhou Chen not see it?
In fact, this was not beyond his expectations. He had thought of it as early as when he was preparing to introduce Chen Daguang to Xu Ruijie.
To be more precise, it was with this purpose in mind that he asked Chen Daguang to go with Xu Ruijie.
His ultimate goal was to stop the development of Qiaogu and Chen Daguang, and he had no intention of harming Chen Daguang. As long as Chen Daguang had good intentions, this would be a good thing for Chen Daguang.
It has only been over a month, and Chen Daguang has only been to Pengcheng once, but things have already changed.
"Pengcheng is indeed becoming more and more developed. First of all, its location is special. Secondly, their implementation of reform and opening up is indeed much better than ours. Not to mention Yiwu, even in the whole Zhejiang Province, there are few cities that can keep up with the development of Pengcheng."
Chen Daguang said proudly: "Did you hear that? Brother Zhou Chen said so, so how could it be wrong?"
However, Zhou Chen changed the subject and said, "Yiwu cannot compare to Pengcheng, but what Jiang He said is also true. Yiwu still has great development potential and may become an iconic city in the future."
Yiwu will become the world's largest small commodity wholesale market in the future. Although it is still far behind Shenzhen, it is much better than most cities.
Chen Jianghe did not show any happy expression, because he had talked a lot with Zhou Chen a long time ago, and they both had confidence in the future of Yiwu.
The four of them ate and chatted, and the one who spoke the most was Chen Daguang. He talked about all the things he had seen and heard this time, with a beaming look on his face.
Qiaogu was the one who spoke the least. She basically just listened to Zhou Chen and the others, and only occasionally agreed with a word or two.
"Brother, Mr. Xu said that he wants me to go with him to work in Pengcheng. What do you think?" Chen Daguang suddenly asked Zhou Chen.
Before Zhou Chen could say anything, Qiaogu asked anxiously, "What, Daguang, you want to go to Pengcheng, so you won't stay in Yiwu?"
Chen Daguang said: "What's so good about Yiwu? I can't make money here, but if I go to Pengcheng, I will definitely have a chance to make a fortune."
Chen Jianghe frowned and advised, "Daguang, you have to think it over carefully. Pengcheng is very developed and there are many opportunities now. But if you go there without any preparation, the risk is very high. I don't recommend you to do that."
He meant well to dissuade him, but to Chen Daguang, that was not what he meant.
He felt that Chen Jianghe looked down on him. Why can you, Chen Jianghe, make money by traveling all over the country, but I, Chen Daguang, can't?
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and the more he wanted to prove himself.
"Brother Jimao, I have already made up my mind to go to Pengcheng. Besides, I have been getting along very well with Mr. Xu recently. When I go there, he will definitely help me."
Chen Jianghe said: "Daguang, Mr. Xu is a big businessman, how could he have the time to take care of you all the time? I think you should stay."
"Brother Jimao, you don't have to say anything, I know what's going on."
Chen Daguang rejected Chen Jianghe's proposal without hesitation. What future could he have if he stayed in Yiwu? He must go out and try his luck. When he returns home in glory, he will let everyone know his ability.
So what if I didn't go to college? So what if I didn't travel a lot?
I, Chen Daguang, am also capable, but I just lacked an opportunity. Now that the opportunity has come, I want to prove that I am no worse than anyone else.
"Great light."
Chen Jianghe wanted to persuade him again, but Zhou Chen suddenly said, "Jianghe, stop talking about this, let's have a drink together."
Chen Jianghe didn't understand why Zhou Chen didn't let him speak, but he still gave Zhou Chen face and didn't refute, and clinked glasses with Zhou Chen.
An hour later, in Zhou Chen's office, Chen Jianghe and Zhou Chen sat together drinking tea.
"Second brother, why didn't you let me persuade Daguang just now? I don't think it's a wise choice to let him go to Pengcheng."
Zhou Chen brewed tea and said slowly: "Do you think he will listen to you even if you persuade him?"
"I, I don't know." Chen Jianghe really didn't have this confidence. He just didn't want Chen Daguang to go the wrong way.
"For some things, no one knows what the outcome will be without trying. Chen Daguang's mentality has changed. He is different from you. He wants to be rich and his utilitarianism is too strong. So, not to mention you, even his father can't persuade him."
"Can……"
"Don't say but, Jiang He, let him choose what he wants to do. You are not his father. If you say too much, it will only backfire."
Chen Jianghe remained silent for a long time before he sighed, "Well, Daguang is indeed stubborn."
He is kind-hearted and Chen Daguang grew up with him, so he really couldn't bear to see Chen Daguang go astray.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I heard from Director Guan that you did a great job."
Chen Jianghe smiled shyly: "It's okay, the main reason is that the quality of the goods in their factory is very good, the disadvantage is that the style is a bit outdated, otherwise, it will be better sold."
"You've been running around for more than a year. Have you ever thought about settling down?"
"I have thought about it, but now I am thinking more about going out and gaining more experience while I am still young."
Zhou Chen nodded. He understood Chen Jianghe's idea. Chen Jianghe was not running around aimlessly. He was more likely to conduct field investigations in various places, and everything was planned.
"It's a good thing to have ideas. The trade city will be open soon. If you want to settle down, I can help you with the operation."
Chen Jianghe's eyes lit up and he was a little tempted, but after considering for a long time, he finally shook his head and refused.
"Forget it for now, I think I still have a lot of shortcomings, so let's wait."
"Okay, whenever you have an idea, just come to me. I promise I can arrange it for you and give you some advice."
"Thank you, second brother."
Zhou Chen patted Chen Jianghe on the shoulder. In fact, he was not very interested in Yiwu Small Commodity Market. He felt that this path was more suitable for Chen Jianghe.
"Let's go back tonight and have a drink with uncle."
"That's a good feeling."
…………
A few days later, Chen Daguang left and went to Pengcheng with his dream in his heart.
As soon as Chen Daguang left, Qiaogu was in a bad mood for several days. It can be seen that she still had feelings for Chen Daguang.
However, when she was forced to marry, Chen Daguang chose to leave without hesitation, which made her very disappointed.
She originally wanted to go with Chen Daguang, but Chen Daguang rejected her on the spot and didn't want to take her with him, which made her disappointed and heartbroken.
Zhou Chen saw that Qiaogu was in a bad mood, so he gave her a few days off.
Time passed quickly. Although Chen Jinshui had been urging Chen Jianghe and Qiaogu to get married, Chen Jianghe was not stupid. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and left Yiwu without saying goodbye. This made Chen Jinshui very angry.
Since the person is gone, it is naturally impossible for the marriage to go ahead.
Just when Chen Jinshui was in a bad mood, Zhou Yong came to visit and wanted to ask Chen Jinshui to help him to establish a relationship with Zhou Chen. This directly aroused Chen Jinshui's anger. He spoke very harshly and drove Zhou Yong away on the spot.
However, since Zhou Yong lost his job, he experienced the hardships of life, so in order to have better development, he became particularly thick-skinned. If it doesn't work once, he will try it twice or three times.
He went to Chen Jinshui for help again and again, and finally Chen Jinshui agreed to help him once because of their blood relationship and found Zhou Chen.
It’s just that Chen Jinshui would be soft-hearted, but Zhou Chen was not. As soon as he saw Zhou Yong, he refused to help without saying a word. No matter how Zhou Yong cried and begged, he just wouldn’t agree.
In the end, Zhou Yong, who was furious, wanted to teach Zhou Chen a lesson, but unfortunately he brought shame upon himself again. Zhou Chen slapped him several times again, and he finally became completely obedient.
In the summer of 84, the trade city officially opened. Although only half of the thousands of stalls were rented out, the area around the trade city instantly became lively, with people coming and going and cars flowing constantly every day.
Luo Yuzhu had originally wanted to make a big splash, but as luck would have it, shortly before the opening of the trade city, she found out that she was pregnant. Under Zhou Chen's forced request, she had to temporarily give up renting a stall and recuperate at home.
Zhou Chen was naturally overjoyed when he found out that Luo Yuzhu was pregnant. This was his first child in this world. He was excited and happy for the birth of every child of his.
Not to mention that this time is even more special. His side quest happens to involve having a son and a daughter, so Luo Yuzhu's pregnancy is really very important to him.
In the same year, Qiu Yingjie was also getting married, and Zhou Chen naturally had to attend his wedding.
The wedding was held in Yiwu. It was not a big event and Zhou Chen also met Qiu Yingjie’s wife.
How to say it, Qiu Yingjie's wife did not leave a good impression on Zhou Chen, because on the wedding day, that woman was complaining about this and that, and was looking down on others. If Qiu Yingjie had not been so versatile, capable, and good at dealing with people, the wedding scene would have definitely been very awkward.
Later, when Qiu Yingjie went to Zhou Chen for a drink, he complained to Zhou Chen after drinking too much.
He naturally loved his wife very much, but she was very dissatisfied with his insistence on staying in Yiwu and wanted him to study abroad with her.
Regarding these, Zhou Chen has watched TV dramas, and he knows a little bit. He knows that Qiu Yingjie's wife is not a good person, and he doesn't have a good impression of her.
But of course he couldn't say these words to Qiu Yingjie. It was obvious that Qiu Yingjie really loved that woman.
"Who told you to come here to find me? Didn't I tell you not to come here to find me? Don't you understand?"
Luo Yuzhu yelled at the man in front of her with an angry face. The man was dressed shabbily, had a middle-parted hair, was in his forties, and his eyes were rolling around. It was obvious at first glance that he was not a good person.
Hearing Luo Yuzhu's complaint, the man said eagerly: "I don't want to come to you either, but I can't help it. I lost a lot of money this time and was chased by others. If I don't pay back the money, they will kill you." If you want to kill me, I have no choice and no place to go, so I can only come to you, daughter, Yuzhu, just help me."
Luo Yuzhu became even more angry: "Gambling, you gamble again, how many times have I told you, how many times have you promised me, and you still gamble, I think you are really hopeless."
This man is Luo Yuzhu’s biological father, the one who sold her.
In fact, Luo's father had found Luo Yuzhu, who was making a living in Yiwu, a few years ago, and had taken money from Luo Yuzhu many times.
Luo Yuzhu was originally full of resentment towards her biological father, but every time she saw him begging for mercy and looking so pitiful, she couldn't control herself and helped Luo's father one after another.
