Zhou Chen could imagine how interesting and furious Zhou Nan's expression would be after he rejected him and gave him a good scolding, and then told the rest of the Zhou family.
But he didn't care.
The reason they want him back on the family tree is simply to extract benefits from him under a plausible pretext. Zhou Chen is well aware of this.
In his previous life, he saw through the true colors of these Zhou family relatives. They all looked down on their family and didn't consider them members of the Zhou family at all. Otherwise, how could Zhou Nan, that little brat, dare to gossip about their family behind their backs with the other younger members of the Zhou family? To put it bluntly, it's because those people in the Zhou family often talk about such things.
What he resented most was that his parents didn't argue with him and always tried to maintain a harmonious relationship. Even when they were wronged, they endured it, which led to others taking advantage of them.
Now that Zhou Chen has grown up and been reborn, what's the point of his rebirth if he still indulges you vampires?
The thought of the Zhou family members hating him with gritted teeth filled Zhou Chen with a sense of great joy.
If Zhou Nan dares to call again, he'll give him a good scolding.
However, it's estimated that the Zhou family wouldn't have the nerve to do that; they'd rather hate him than have that kind of face.
I haven't been to the construction site canteen for a while.
During the lunch break, Zhou Chen came over to take a look. As always, Li Juan and Sister Wang were keeping the cafeteria in perfect order.
His fellow workers, who were leaving get off work one after another, all lit up when they saw him arrive and greeted him one after another.
Zhou Chen addressed everyone as "Brother Li" and "Brother Wang," remaining very familiar with them and showing no signs of estrangement since returning to school.
The workers on the construction site were both grateful to and admired Zhou Chen, this young man. Although he was young, he did great things. He was willing to help injured workers on the construction site who could not continue to work, teaching them how to make stinky tofu and offering free franchise opportunities so that the injured workers could still earn money to support their families.
This provides a safety net for everyone, giving them peace of mind and eliminating worries about being injured on the job and losing their income.
Before long, Xu Laoqi arrived.
The master and apprentice felt very close when they met, and they chatted for a long time at the dinner table.
When Xu Laoqi talked about Zhou Chen getting first place in the city and then creating the actual exam paper, he was filled with admiration and pride.
Many of the workers present were unaware of this incident. Upon learning it, they were greatly shocked and amazed. Many of them were no longer in a hurry to return to their dormitories to rest, but instead surrounded Zhou Chen, asking him all sorts of questions.
Twenty minutes later,
The master and apprentice arrived outside the canteen. Looking at the building still under construction, Xu Laoqi took a puff of his cigarette and said, "The project here will be completed in another two or three months. At that time, we will probably leave Fanjia County and go to other cities."
“Master, please stop working. Wait until I graduate from high school, then come with me to Yanjing. I will take care of you in your old age.”
Seeing the wrinkles on Xu Laoqi's face and his slightly hunched back, Zhou Chen felt a pang of sympathy for his master, who had given him so much help.
With his current net worth, he could easily provide for Xu Laoqi, ensuring he has enough to eat and wear and can enjoy his later years in comfort.
Actually, he had already told Xu Laoqi about this, advising Xu Laoqi to stop working, saying that even a little bit of money leaking from under his fingernails would be enough for Xu Laoqi to spend.
However, Xu Laoqi refused to do it no matter what, saying that since he had become the supervisor, he had to take responsibility and could not shirk his duties.
“I’ve worked all my life. If you don’t let me work, I’ll feel restless. I’m someone who can’t stay idle. My apprentice, I appreciate your kindness. I hope you can understand me.”
Looking at Zhou Chen, whose skin was no longer dark and had begun to lighten considerably, Xu Laoqi's eyes were full of satisfaction and his heart was filled with pride.
He was gratified and happy that Zhou Chen said he would take care of him, but how could he really let Zhou Chen take care of him? He didn't have that right.
"Master, actually you..."
"Alright, go see Mr. Sun. It would be a shame not to go. I need to go back and get some sleep."
Zhou Chen sensed that Xu Laoqi seemed to know what he was going to say, so he quickly interrupted.
"Master, please take care."
Unable to persuade Xu Laoqi to stop working, Zhou Chen could only watch Xu Laoqi walk away.
A stubborn old man!
Zhou Chen sighed and decided to have Xu Dalong persuade him in the future.
Inside the office,
Sun Liancheng's face was glowing; he was clearly in a good mood.
"Xiao Zhou, you've come at the perfect time. Come, have some of my newly arrived tea."
Sun Liancheng personally poured Zhou Chen a glass.
"Hmm, good tea."
Zhou Chen took a sip and immediately gave it a good review. He didn't understand this stuff and couldn't tell the difference between good and bad, but Sun Liancheng was his future father-in-law, so he had to say something nice.
"Haha, you know your stuff, kid. This is a Da Hong Pao tea that the leader gave me. It's produced in very limited quantities and is a rare find that you can't buy even if you have money."
Sun Liancheng laughed loudly, then stroked his chin.
"Actually, the main reason I received tea from the leader is because of you, kid." Before Zhou Chen could ask, Sun Liancheng took the initiative to say what good thing was going on.
It turns out that Zhou Chen had previously suggested that Sun Liancheng buy Tencent stock, and Sun Liancheng had also suggested that the leader who valued him buy it.
A while ago, Tencent's stock rose by four points. Although there haven't been any huge increases in recent days, it has been steadily rising. And just yesterday, three days ago, Tencent's stock rose again, which made Sun Liancheng and that leader make a fortune.
"You really are my benefactor. Tell me, what do you want? Just say the word."
"If I can do it, I guarantee I'll make it happen for you."
Sun Liancheng is finding Zhou Chen, his future son-in-law, increasingly pleasing and satisfied with him. He has begun to treat him as a son-in-law and unconsciously speaks in the tone of an elder.
"Uncle Sun, I don't want anything."
Zhou Chen smiled and shook his head; he lacked nothing.
Sun Liancheng was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that Zhou Chen could handle what he wanted without his help.
This kid is richer than him now.
His career, in particular, is growing day by day, and he is doing very well, which makes even him envious.
"Alright, I'll remember that. Anyway, I still owe you three requests. It's better to have more debts than nothing."
Sun Liancheng waved his hand and mentioned that he had lost a bet with Zhou Chen and owed him three requests.
Zhou Chen smiled and didn't continue. The number of franchisees now far exceeds 240.
Afterwards, the two chatted about other things before Zhou Chen said goodbye to Sun Liancheng.
"This kid is definitely going to study in Beijing in the future."
"Once the Fanjia County project is finished, I need to get the leadership to transfer me to Yanjing. I need to keep an eye on this kid for Wanying. He's already so outstanding in high school, what will he be like in college? He'll definitely be surrounded by beautiful girls then, and I absolutely cannot let other girls steal away my future son-in-law, Sun Liancheng!"
Sun Liancheng murmured to himself, making a decision in his heart.
