After leaving the office,
Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling safe. He strongly suspected that the things his fellow workers had been saying had reached Sun Liancheng's ears.
As a father, how could I not be angry?
If it were him, he would probably be just as unhappy.
It's better to avoid it in the future.
Zhou Chen decided to avoid hanging around Sun Liancheng as much as possible to avoid adding fuel to the fire and suffering undeserved trouble. If it were true, that would be one thing, but the key point is that he and Sun Wanying are indeed completely innocent.
Afternoon classes were as usual.
After school, Zhou Chen and Li Kaile headed straight to the night market to tell Xu Dalong the good news about the new franchisee.
Xu Dalong was particularly pleased to hear that the stinky tofu business had expanded.
"There will be more and more franchisees in the future, and the demand for stinky tofu sauce raw materials will also increase."
"So, Da Long, I'd like to entrust this matter to you. You'll be in charge of delivering the stinky tofu sauce."
With Li Kaile there, Zhou Chen explained his arrangements: Li Kaile would take care of the stall that evening, while Xu Dalong would go to driving school to learn to drive and get his driver's license.
After that, he was specifically responsible for transporting the stinky tofu sauce. As the soul of stinky tofu, he always kept the production of the stinky tofu sauce in his hands, and even Zhang Dafu and Liu Dongmei did not know about it.
Xu Dalong always obeyed Zhou Chen's arrangements without question. When Zhou Chen asked him to learn to drive, he had no objections.
"Dalong, in the early stages of the company, we need you to transport the sauce. Once the number of franchisees reaches a certain scale, we will hire several drivers to deliver the goods. At that time, you will be in charge of overall management."
Xu Dalong has begun to put the management knowledge he has learned into practice. Zhang Dafu and Liu Dongmei report the daily income and expenditure to Xu Dalong, who then records them.
Therefore, Zhou Chen specially bought Xu Dalong a mobile phone for communication.
"Brother Chen, what about me?"
Li Kaile raised his hand, also hoping to be entrusted with an important task.
Seeing Li Kaile joining in the fun, Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You take care of the shop for Dalong first. After Dalong gets his driver's license, we'll hire another employee and put him in your management."
"Brother Chen, you're so handsome!"
Hearing that he could manage employees was clearly a promotion, Li Kaile was overjoyed; it was like becoming the boss directly.
Zhou Chen didn't forget him and made plans for him as well.
Although he wasn't as valued as Xu Dalong, he wasn't jealous. Xu Dalong had been working with Zhou Chen for a long time and was a senior confidant, something he couldn't compare to. However, he could be Zhou Chen's second confidant.
Zhou Chen put him in charge of people, which was clearly a way to train him in that area. Li Kaile understood this, and it was the main reason for his excitement.
Zhou Chen did have some thoughts on Li Kaile's arrangements.
With no hope of going to university, Li Kaile only had two options: learn a skill or follow him and make a name for himself.
After spending these days together, he knew that Li Kaile's temperament, character, and personality were all very good, without any flaws, and trustworthy.
The only difference is that Li Kaile, like him, is still in school and needs to stay at school during the day, with only the evenings available for her.
However, that's enough to allow Li Kaile to grow little by little and eventually become his right-hand man.
Of course, Zhou Chen didn't say these things directly to Li Kaile, lest the kid get arrogant and lose his ambition.
The next day, Xu Dalong studied management on his own in the morning, did business at a stinky tofu shop in the afternoon, and went to a driving school to learn to drive in the evening.
Li Kaile continued selling stinky tofu while Xu Dalong was away.
At the school gate,
Zhou Chuan stood in front of the gate, hands in his pockets, a smug look on his face.
Today, he wore a new outfit, cut his hair, and styled it into a slicked-back look with shiny hair gel.
It was nothing like the disheveled state it had been in before.
He came here on purpose, wanting to show Zhou Chen a 'surprise' and let Zhou Chen know that even after hitting someone, Zhou Chuan can still act cool.
"Second Sister."
Before Zhou Chen arrived, Zhou Chuan spotted Zhou Na and immediately waved excitedly.
What brings you here?
When Zhou Na saw Zhou Chuan's appearance, she was slightly taken aback and almost didn't recognize him.
"Second sister, I've come to see you and have some good news to tell you. I have a job now and I can earn my own money. I don't need to ask you for money anymore. You gave me quite a bit before, so please accept this three hundred yuan as my way of repaying you."
Zhou Chuan took out three hundred yuan and stuffed it into Zhou Na's hand.
Zhou Na hesitated for a few seconds but did not refuse, because she did need the money, and besides, she had given Zhou Chuan the same amount before.
To maintain her first place ranking, in addition to doing a lot of school exercises, she bought some practice papers from outside, all of which cost money.
"Are you like Zhao Kun, working for others?"
Zhou Na asked, "I heard from Zhou Ling that Zhao Kun has become rich. With Zhao Kun's abilities, he couldn't have become rich overnight. He must know some powerful people."
Considering that Zhou Chuan injured someone and was taken care of by Zhao Kun, and that Zhou Chuan now has a job, it's highly likely that this is also related to the person who helped him. Otherwise, how could Zhou Chuan so easily take out a few hundred yuan?
"Hehe, second sister, you're amazing! You guessed it all. Did third sister tell you?"
Facing Zhou Na, Zhou Chuan did not hide anything and explained how he had met that big boss, Brother Hu, by following Zhao Kun.
Zhao Kun was the second-in-command at the KTV, while he was the manager. The 300 yuan was a tip from the customers.
“Brother Hu is a real big boss, making a fortune every day. I’ve decided that I’ll follow Brother Hu from now on.”
"Second sister, why don't you come to Brother Hu's company in the future? Brother Hu is generous, and he has connections and strength. If you come, you will definitely earn no less than me."
Zhou Chuan's words did indeed tempt Zhou Na. Zhou Chuan was just a supervisor, yet he received so much money in tips. This was only in the past day or two. If he accumulated enough over a month, he would have at least several thousand yuan, or even tens of thousands.
The money is coming in so fast!
But Zhou Na quickly regained her senses.
She felt that Brother Hu's company was not legitimate, and that KTVs were places where all sorts of people lived, so it wasn't suitable for a girl like her to go.
Besides, she'll be a college graduate in the future; if she works in a place like that, people will talk behind her back and ruin her reputation.
"Fourth brother, thank you for your kindness, but I have my own life plans. I won't stop you from following Brother Hu, but you must be careful and never do anything illegal or disorderly, otherwise, even Brother Hu may not be able to save you."
Zhou Na, unusually showing concern, reminded Zhou Chuan.
Zhou Chuan, being easygoing, didn't take the words to heart. "Second sister, you underestimate Brother Hu. Let me put it this way, whether Fanjia County is in chaos or not, Brother Hu has the final say!"
