The two sisters agreed to meet at the school gate after school in the evening.
Then we waited together for Zhou Chen, and the three of us talked.
but,
After school ended in the evening, the two stood at the school gate, and even after almost all the students had left, they still couldn't see Zhou Chen.
"Second sister, why hasn't eldest brother come out yet?"
"I hope he's still in class."
Zhou Ling's words made Zhou Na's eyes flicker. Was Zhou Chen really that motivated, staying in the classroom to study even though it was time for school to end?
"I'm going to check on his class. You wait for me here."
Zhou Na gave a word of advice, then quickly walked towards the teaching building.
at the same time,
Construction site dormitory
"Kid, this little injury is nothing. You don't need to worry about me. Your master isn't that fragile."
Looking at Zhou Chen, who was busy taking care of him, Xu Laoqi felt both touched and ashamed, as he was not actually seriously injured.
“Master, the doctor said your arm needs to rest and you can’t do heavy work for half a month. Don’t worry about food, I’ll take care of it.”
Zhou Chen said with a serious expression.
During the second period in the afternoon, Zhou Chen suddenly received a call from his coworker, who said that his mentor, Xu Laoqi, had been hit on the shoulder by a falling steel pipe. Upon learning this, Zhou Chen disregarded the class and immediately asked Teacher Wu for leave to rush to the hospital.
Fortunately, the steel pipe fell on his shoulder, so the injury wasn't too serious. If it had hit his head, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Xu Laoqi has been given a second chance at life.
But he clearly remembered that this didn't happen in his previous life. Could it be that his rebirth caused some kind of subtle butterfly effect?
"You brat, your master isn't at the point where he can't afford to eat. Besides, this is a work injury. Boss Sun said that I can take a month of paid leave to rest and recuperate, and the company will pay for my meals."
Xu Laoqi laughed.
Hearing Mr. Sun's magnanimity, Zhou Chen was somewhat surprised. After all, many construction sites are already doing well if they don't fire workers after they are injured, and very few can provide paid leave.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a scorpion-shaped dumpling, one of a kind.
Mr. Sun's benevolence and righteousness made Zhou Chen feel a sense of admiration and emotion. Working for such a boss is, without a doubt, a very lucky thing.
“Master, I’ll have Sister Juan make you some chicken soup later to nourish you. You really need the nutrition right now.”
Xu Laoqi had taken good care of Zhou Chen, and now that Xu Laoqi was injured, Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't laugh at him.
"I didn't think much of it at first, but now that you've said that, I'm actually starting to crave some chicken soup."
Xu Laoqi did not refuse, because he knew that Zhou Chen really hoped he could get better soon.
“I told you several times not to let anyone tell you about this, but those guys still told you anyway, which caused you to miss a lot of class this afternoon. Don’t miss it again tomorrow.”
"Master, one or two classes won't matter."
"You've already fallen behind in your studies, and now you're struggling to catch up. How can this not be a problem? Your master may not have been well-educated, but don't try to fool me. I understand this basic principle. Don't delay tomorrow, or I'll get really angry."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhou Chen smiled and nodded.
"By the way, I heard yesterday that the land for the third phase of the project that you mentioned to me before is not for sale for the time being."
It seems Mr. Sun made this decision suddenly, which has caused considerable discontent among many leaders, even reaching company headquarters. Some leaders at headquarters are very dissatisfied with Mr. Sun's actions, and his situation is not good.
Xu Laoqi suddenly changed the subject and brought up the matter that Zhou Chen had asked him to keep in mind.
oh?
Zhou Chen's expression flashed. If that's the case, then what he said to Sun Liancheng before had an effect and changed Sun Liancheng's decision to sell that piece of land.
The people at head office were dissatisfied with Sun Liancheng's decision; clearly, Sun Liancheng was under immense pressure to do this.
If things don't develop in the direction he predicted, Sun Liancheng's fate will likely be similar to his previous life; he will continue to take the blame.
Sun Liancheng is gambling with his future, betting that what Zhou Chen said will come true.
Thinking about this, Zhou Chen couldn't help but admire Sun Liancheng's courage, because if he were in Sun Liancheng's shoes, he might not dare to make such a decision.
As someone who has lived a full life, he can see things from God's perspective.
But others don't have his ability, especially Sun Liancheng, who is already in a high position. Choosing to believe a young man like him is a huge risk, a gamble.
If you lose the bet, there's no doubt you'll face numerous accountability measures, and your future is over.
If the bet is right...
Zhou Chen was confident that Sun Liancheng wouldn't lose the bet.
In his previous life, Mr. Sun sold three phases of land and ended up resigning, which was the worst possible outcome. But now he has chosen not to sell for the time being, so the outcome will at most be the same.
Once news of the railway line is released, the value of the third phase of land will soar. Not only will Mr. Sun not be blamed, but he will also benefit from it and may even take this opportunity to rise to a higher position.
For now, all we need to do is let time take its course and let things develop. The truth will come out in the near future.
"Mr. Sun's decision not to sell the third phase of land, could it be related to you, kid?"
Xu Laoqi looked at Zhou Chen and asked with a puzzled expression.
He always felt that Zhou Chen knew something.
"Master, you guessed right."
"It was I who told Mr. Sun not to sell it."
"You're quite the big talker, kid. Who are you trying to fool? Do you think I'm stupid? I only got hit on the shoulder, not the head."
Xu Laoqi rolled his eyes, completely disbelieving.
Zhou Chen gave a helpless, bitter smile. He was telling the truth. Why didn't you believe him, Master? It seems you really know nothing about your disciple's abilities.
This is prejudice, this is wrong.
Zhou Chen's residential community
The Zhou sisters, Zhou Na and Zhou Ling, couldn't wait for Zhou Chen at school, so they came to his house to check on him.
The two knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered, so it seemed that Zhou Chen was not at home.
"Second sister, eldest brother changed the lock cylinder so that he doesn't want us to bother him. All our keys are useless now. He wants to sever ties with us completely."
Zhou Ling harbors deep resentment at not being able to go home as freely as before.
Even if the family split up and the furniture was given to Zhou Chen, as siblings, they should have the right to come back and see the things their parents used.
By what right, Zhou Chen, are you blocking their right to do so?
Zhou Na's cool face showed little emotion; she simply said, "Let's go. We'll see him tomorrow."
The two sisters then went downstairs, preparing to leave.
However, just as they were about to leave the residential area, the two of them overheard some discussion about Zhou Chen.
A series of keywords appeared one after another.
Contracting out the construction site canteen? Hiring someone to be the boss?
Is the person the neighbors are talking about their older brother, Zhou Chen?
