Chapter 514 Perfect Character Design

Jiang Zhizhi asked in surprise, "You know Chu Fenghe?"

Shang Xingzhou knew him very well: "When we were in Shanghai, his place was just two alleyways away from our family compound. He lived with his mother."

"He was about ten years older than me. When I was twelve or thirteen, he was already twenty-two or twenty-three. Because he was struggling financially, he was very thin and was often bullied by the children in the alley."

Shang Xingzhou grew up in the family compound. The children in the compound were very united when they went out, and the children in the neighborhood would not provoke the children in the family compound.

He often went out to play with the older boys in the courtyard.

I've seen Chu Fenghe being bullied by a group of people a few times, and they even dragged his mother through the streets, saying that his mother was unmarried and had an affair before she gave birth to him.

He was young then and didn't understand these things. He thought that it was no hero for many people to bully one person, and he even called on the older brothers in the courtyard to help Chu Fenghe.

They gradually got to know each other, and Chu Fenghe treated him well, occasionally sharing life lessons with him.

Therefore, Shang Xingzhou had a fairly good impression of Chu Fenghe: "He was also very hardworking. Even so, he was a technical expert in the factory, and later he even took the initiative to go to the countryside."

"His mother's situation has also been clarified; it was all a misunderstanding. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this person?"

After hearing Shang Xingzhou's words, Jiang Zhizhi looked at Zhou Xiye with some surprise, not expecting that they actually knew each other.

They seem to have a pretty good relationship.

Zhou Xiye was also surprised; it was such a coincidence!

Looking at their expressions, Shang Xingzhou seemed quite surprised that he knew Chu Fenghe.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Sis, did Chu Fenghe offend you? It's okay, if you hate him, then I can hate him too."

Jiang Zhizhi quickly waved her hand: "No, it's just a bit of a surprise that you two are so close. He works in the same company as me now, and he's very popular there."

Shang Xingzhou was not surprised: "An older brother in the family compound once told me that Chu Fenghe is a very good person, but you can't get too close to him, and I should be careful."

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "I just felt that he was too popular, so I asked around."

Shang Xingzhou nodded repeatedly: "However, Chu Fenghe can even forgive those who bullied him in the past. Later, when they asked him for help, he did it for them."

After saying that, he said with some confusion, "If it were me, I would consider myself kind if I retaliated without killing the other person."

Fang Hua, who had been listening in, summarized: "People like this are often capable of great things. They don't offend their superiors at work, nor do they offend their colleagues. They can handle both relationships very well. That's what makes them talented."

"However, such people are cunning and shrewd, their minds are probably as sharp as a sieve. You should be careful."

Jiang Zhizhi nodded. It seemed there was no need to investigate Chu Fenghe anymore; there was no point in investigating him anyway.

We can only be more careful in the future to prevent him from targeting the lab.

Qin Hongmei never appeared or made any appointments with Zhou Xiye until he started working.

After Zhou Xiye went to work, he could come back once a week when he wasn't busy, but when he got busy, it was hard to say when he would be able to come back.

The case in the back mountain is still unsolved. Jiang Zhizhi goes to check Shen Luojia's pulse and perform acupuncture every day, and the poison in her body seems to remain stable.

Shen Luojia was well taken care of by Shang Shiying and Song Wanying. She was only three months pregnant, but she was already plump and round.

Jiang Zhizhi repeatedly reminded the two not to overfeed Shen Luojia, as her weight gain in the late stages of pregnancy would be too rapid and difficult to control.

Giving birth will be difficult then.

Shen Luojia is much more composed now, but she still does things unpredictably and never suffers a loss. Everyone knows that she is capable of hitting people without considering anyone's feelings.

Therefore, most people don't dare to provoke her.

After March, April arrived, and the most beautiful season in Beijing came, with peach blossoms blooming all over the back hills.

Standing in the courtyard, you can see clusters of peach blossoms on the mountain, layer upon layer, like pink sunset, painting half the mountain.

Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang took off their heavy cotton-padded clothes and were dressed in lighter clothing, which made them more mobile.

Fang Hua really wanted to take her two children to the mountains, but because the case in the back mountain had not been solved, she didn't dare to take her two children to the mountains.

If something really happens, she and Zhou Chengyu won't be able to handle it at all, and it will be too late to regret it then.

Waiting for Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye to rest at home, I suggested at breakfast: "The weather has been warm these past two days, the peach blossoms on the mountain are in full bloom, and the peonies by the Glasses Lake are also in bloom. If you have time, let's take the children up there to see them."

Jiang Zhizhi agreed: "Okay, I'll go and call Luo Jia and my aunt, we'll go together."

Zhou Xiye hasn't had a break in the past two weeks, so naturally he's willing to spend all his time with his wife and children now that he's back. He goes wherever they go without any objection.

Fang Hua was delighted and went to prepare some food and drinks so that her two little ones wouldn't go hungry.

Zhou Xiye came home quite late last night, and Jiang Zhizhi didn't have a chance to chat with him much.

While Fang Hua and Zhou Chengyu were in the kitchen preparing things, she quietly asked Zhou Xiye, "It's been a month already, has there been any news from Brother Song Dong? Didn't they say they gave us a month's timeframe?"

Zhou Xiye shook his head: "Before I came back yesterday, I called to ask, and there was no progress in the case. Brother Song said it might become a dead case."

Jiang Zhizhi frowned: "Who could it be? But in the past month, Mom and Aunt haven't found anything strange while planting vegetables in the yard."

"Shangshang hasn't dug up any snakes or toads yet. She and Xiao Zhou have dug up every corner of the compound in the past month."

The two of them liked to dig in the soil, and whoever took the soil would go to that person's house to play. Little Zhou had picked all the orchids in He Jianian's yard.

After digging up the yard, the two kids would dig in the flower beds of the main courtyard; they were the kind of kids who would dig wherever they went.

Zhou Xiye wasn't too surprised: "It seems it really is related to Chen Liqin."

Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "That's why you're so anxious about not solving the case. By the way, has Qin Hongmei contacted you?"

Zhou Xiye shook his head: "No, they haven't looked for me since I went to work. It's not easy to get through to the work unit by phone."

Jiang Zhizhi was puzzled: "Why aren't you looking for me again? Also, Chu Fenghe really did get two houses. Although they're not big, they've solved the housing problem for my colleagues."

"To be fair, we decided by drawing lots. Everyone wrote their names on the spot, threw them in, and the leaders drew lots. It was all based on luck."

"Those who won a house were very happy, and those who didn't were naturally sad. Chu Fenghe also assured everyone that he would solve everyone's housing difficulties by the end of the year."

This is what Jiang Zhizhi can't understand the most: "How did he do it? He solved a problem that even the higher-ups couldn't solve."

The housing shortage is not just a problem in one unit, but across the entire country.

Not only did he solve it, he actually managed to solve the problem for so many people at once...
