Whenever Zhao Kun thought of Zhou Chen, he felt as if he had swallowed a fly.
You have to understand how comfortable and carefree he was working under Hu Haibing a few days ago. He ate well, dressed well, managed several people, and had a car to drive around in. He was living a life of unparalleled glory.
All of this was destroyed by Zhou Chen, who went to Hu Haibing and tattled on him, causing him to lose his job.
Why did Hu Haibing suspect him and find that surveillance video? He believed that it was highly likely that Zhou Chen was behind it.
Because Zhou Chen didn't want him to be with Zhou Ling, looked down on him, and retaliated against him.
It ruined his future.
He will get his revenge sooner or later.
A cold glint flashed in Zhao Kun's eyes, but for the moment, there was no suitable opportunity, so he could only endure it and wait for a chance.
After returning home, Zhou Chen quickly washed up and then opened his laptop to check the stock charts.
Ever since he received the compensation for the demolition, he has poured it all into the stock market, buying all of Tencent's shares. As he had been certain, Tencent's stock has remained incredibly strong. Although the increase has not been significant, it has earned him more than the interest he would have earned in a bank.
Zhou Chen naturally didn't care about that small amount of interest; his idea was to buy more Tencent stock and strive to become one of the top shareholders.
Of course, the fact that he poured all his money into it, amounting to tens of millions, doesn't have a significant impact on a listed company like Tencent. Only a few hundred million would attract the attention of Tencent's top management.
Zhou Chen wasn't in a hurry. Tencent had only been listed for a little over a year and hadn't yet grown into the behemoth it would become. He had plenty of time to continue increasing his stock holdings.
After looking at the stock price of Tencent, Zhou Chen glanced at the trends of other stocks. Although some stocks were worth investing in, none had the potential to match Tencent's.
"The money in the stock market is basically untouched."
"We'll try to use the money we make from the stinky tofu business to cover the expenses of game development."
If possible, Zhou Chen tries to avoid using his stock holdings to cash out. After all, Tencent's stock is currently at its lowest point almost every day, and if he cashes out, he'll have to spend money unnecessarily to re-enter the market.
The money he earned from the stinky tofu business was enough to cover his expenses.
The establishment of his internet technology company is a direct result of the profits he has gained from his stinky tofu business during this period.
However, the money was used to start a company, recruit talent, maintain the company's operations, and pay salaries to Li Kaile and Xu Dalong.
We are truly broke.
At 10 o'clock, Sun Wanying called, and the two chatted for 20 minutes before going to sleep.
To Zhou Chen's surprise, on his way to school by bicycle in the morning, he received a call from Hu Haibing, who wanted to meet him to discuss business.
Could it be that Hu Haibing has his eye on his stinky tofu business?
Zhou Chen shook his head, unsure. He didn't bother to guess; the answer would be revealed after he met Hu Haibing.
School ended that evening.
Secretary Xu, sent by Hu Haibing, was waiting at the school gate early in the morning. His shiny black car attracted a lot of attention.
After all, this is a luxury car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and there are only a handful of them in Fanjia County.
"Mr. Zhou."
Secretary Xu began waving from afar.
Zhou Chen said something to Li Kaile, and then walked towards Secretary Xu under the watchful eyes of everyone.
After Zhou Chen got into the car and left, those who had witnessed the scene started discussing it again.
"Tsk tsk, Zhou Chen is really something, getting picked up and dropped off in a car."
"Is that Zhou Chen's driver? No way, Zhou Chen bought a car? He's so rich, is stinky tofu that profitable?"
"Really? Selling stinky tofu like that makes money? I don't believe it. Maybe it belongs to someone else, or maybe he rented it and is just showing off. I've seen through this little trick long ago. Don't be envious and fall for it. Let him be smug."
The news of Zhou Chen getting on the bus has attracted attention and sparked much discussion.
Li Kaile was present at the scene. When he saw someone belittling Zhou Chen, he immediately stood up, pointed at the other person and said it was sour grapes, and directly revealed the identity of the person who drove to pick up Zhou Chen.
Many people didn't know who Hu Haibing was, and they looked puzzled when they heard the name. It wasn't until Li Kaile mentioned Hu Haibing's businesses, all of which were well-known shops in Fanjia County, that everyone suddenly realized who he was.
It turns out that those entertainment venues were all owned by this Mr. Hu.
This is a real big boss.
"I know this Mr. Hu. His name is Hu Haibing. He is a very powerful boss with extensive connections. Many people have to give him face. You know Yanbinlou, right? It is said that he is one of the owners."
A classmate revealed Hu Haibing's identity and explained with a serious expression.
What!
Upon hearing this shocking news, the students were once again stunned.
The vast majority of people present were from ordinary families and had no idea about these things. They were astonished.
Immediately, they were even more shocked.
For a big boss like Hu Haibing to personally send someone to pick up Zhou Chen is an extraordinary honor.
"What are you all doing gathered here? Why aren't you home!"
At this moment, Wu Yingjie pushed his bicycle to the school gate and shouted to the crowd.
Upon seeing the teacher appear, the crowd quickly dispersed.
Li Kaile was about to slip away when Wu Yingjie immediately stopped him and asked what had just happened.
Facing his homeroom teacher Wu Yingjie, Li Kaile dared not hide anything and honestly confessed everything. Even if he didn't say it, Wu Yingjie would find out about it tomorrow.
After all, many people witnessed Zhou Chen being taken away.
When Wu Yingjie heard that Hu Haibing had sent someone to pick up Zhou Chen for dinner, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He knew who Hu Haibing was; he was a prominent figure in Fanjia County with considerable wealth. It was surprising that such a person would want to do business with Zhou Chen.
"You can go now."
Wu Yingjie waved his hand, letting Li Kaile leave.
Li Kaile dared not linger; what he feared most was his homeroom teacher.
Wu Yingjie didn't pay attention to Li Kaile. He was worried about this matter. His brows furrowed slightly. He was afraid that Zhou Chen would be tricked by Hu Haibing, which might be a blow to Zhou Chen and affect his academic performance. That was definitely not what he wanted to see.
He decided to talk to Zhou Chen tomorrow, and that he absolutely could not let making money interfere with his studies.
As a student, making money comes later; right now, studying should be the priority.
Inside a private room at the banquet hall.
Hu Haibing was very enthusiastic and did not immediately get to the point. Instead, he introduced each dish on the table, how to make it, and how to eat it.
Zhou Chen was also in no hurry.
Half an hour later, seeing that Zhou Chen was more composed than him, Hu Haibing finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhou, I wonder if your Pin Chou Fang company has any plans to make a move? You name your price."
oh?
Hu Haibing actually wanted to buy his Pin Chou Fang (a restaurant chain).
This was truly unexpected for Zhou Chen.
