Yanbinlou, the most upscale restaurant in Fanjia County.
Zhao Kun waited outside early, glancing into the distance from time to time, awaiting the arrival of the distinguished guest.
Zhou Ling, with her slightly protruding belly, followed beside her.
Zhao Kun was still unaware of the guest's identity, but he knew one thing: the fact that Brother Hu was hosting a banquet for him here showed how highly he was regarded, indicating that this person's identity must be extraordinary.
Zhao Kun was actually quite curious about who this person was.
About twenty minutes later,
Upon seeing the car that Brother Hu had sent out return, Zhao Kun immediately perked up and gestured for Zhou Ling to go aside.
Zhou Ling immediately retreated two meters away, pretending to be a passerby, and took out her phone to take a picture.
Zhao Kun quickly straightened his clothes, ran to the car that had just stopped, opened the door, and asked the passengers to get out.
Zhou Ling pointed her phone at the car, waiting for someone to get out so she could take a picture immediately.
They're out!
The next second,
As soon as a figure appeared, before Zhou Ling could even press the shutter button, she froze on the spot, her eyes wide with disbelief.
She actually saw Zhou Chen, who was getting out of President Hu's car.
How...how is this possible?
What exactly happened?
Equally shocked was Zhao Kun, who was assigned the reception task. He was the most bewildered person. The moment he saw Zhou Chen in the car, his brain went blank. He never expected that the guest Hu Haibing was talking about would be Zhou Chen.
When Zhou Chen appeared here, Zhao Kun thought of many things in an instant. He roughly understood that the Zhou Chen he had thought of before was not the same Zhou Chen as the other Zhou Chen. In fact, they were the same person.
It was all just his own wild guesses.
Otherwise, Zhou Chen wouldn't have received such treatment. Apart from this point, there's no reason for Hu Haibing to treat him so politely and with such great respect.
The truth has come out!
The person who stole his opportunity was Zhou Chen, causing him to lose a chance to make a contribution.
This guy is always going against him.
"Secretary Xu, is this the person your boss Hu arranged? He doesn't seem very bright. I suggest your boss Hu replace him with someone smarter."
Seeing Zhao Kun standing there dumbfounded, Zhou Chen turned to Secretary Xu, who had gotten out of the passenger seat, and said calmly.
Secretary Xu quickly said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, he's new here. Please don't take offense. Please come with me."
Secretary Xu glanced at Zhao Kun, then extended his hand to Zhou Chen, inviting him to enter the restaurant.
It was only then that Zhao Kun came to his senses and realized that he had just embarrassed himself, that Zhou Chen had caught him red-handed and taken the opportunity to question his abilities.
If these words reached Hu Haibing's ears, what would he think of him?
Damn it!
This Zhou Chen openly ruined his future.
Zhao Kun hated Zhou Chen to the core. If Hu Haibing really believed these words, his career would probably come to an end, and he would not be given important responsibilities.
Watching Zhou Chen's figure disappear along with Secretary Xu,
Zhao Kun's face was extremely gloomy.
"Brother Kun, he... he's Mr. Hu's guest?"
"Why him? How could President Hu possibly invite him to dinner? He's just a high school student, what makes him so special..."
Zhou Ling looked indignant, unable to accept what was happening before her eyes.
It was clearly her little Kun who was receiving a distinguished guest. She had already prepared to take pictures and post them on her social media, emphasizing how impressive the guest was, so that her contacts on QQ would think that Zhao Kun had extensive connections, and she, as his girlfriend, would feel proud.
However, since the guest was Zhou Chen, how could she possibly take a picture and post it on her social media?
That would only make you a laughing stock and someone to be laughed at.
The distinguished guest can be anyone, except Zhou Chen.
Zhou Ling couldn't help but regret her impulsive act of posting that status update that had piqued other people's curiosity yesterday.
How is she supposed to explain this?!
"He is Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen is him. They are the same person. We were wrong!"
"That's the only reason he was invited by Brother Hu."
Zhao Kun squinted and said in a deep voice.
Zhou Ling didn't understand at first, but after a few seconds, she realized what was happening, and her eyes widened again.
"Was he the one who got there first?"
"Impossible. He couldn't possibly have one or two million to buy so many bungalows."
Zhou Ling couldn't believe it and shook her head repeatedly; she was the first to disbelieve it.
Zhao Kun certainly believed this, but he thought there was no other reason to explain it.
Zhou Chen may not be able to come up with a million-dollar sum, but that doesn't mean others can't.
What if Zhou Chen, like him, was also doing favors for others?
"Honey, do you remember the first time we drove to the school gate? He got into a red Audi."
Zhao Kun suddenly said.
Zhou Ling paused for a moment, then nodded. The red Audi was particularly beautiful and very expensive, costing several hundred thousand yuan.
"If I'm not mistaken, it might be related to the owner of that car."
Zhao Kun said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling frowned and said, "Brother Kun, do you mean the car owner took the money?"
Zhao Kun nodded: "It's pretty much true. Otherwise, how could he earn millions in a few months just by selling stinky tofu? Absolutely impossible. I'd be impressed if he earned even 100,000 yuan."
"If that's the case, Brother Kun, do you think he might take this opportunity to retaliate against us, especially by speaking ill of you in front of Brother Hu?" Zhou Ling suddenly showed a worried look.
They don't get along with Zhou Chen, and if Zhou Chen takes the opportunity to retaliate, it will be extremely disadvantageous for Zhao Kun.
"He's already started talking badly about me. Just now, in front of Secretary Xu, he said I'm not very bright and told Brother Hu to find someone else..."
Zhao Kun's forehead was covered in black lines as he clenched his fists and said.
"He's despicable!"
"Brother Kun, we have to think of something. We absolutely cannot let him ruin your position in Brother Hu's heart."
While Zhou Ling was angry, her worries grew even stronger.
Zhao Kun wasn't too worried about this. After all, he had saved Hu Haibing's father, which was a life-saving grace. Even if he didn't have a good relationship with Zhou Chen, or even if his reputation wasn't good, the fact that he had saved a life was undeniable. Even if Hu Haibing didn't give him an important position, he would still give him a job.
But Zhou Ling's words made sense. He couldn't let Zhou Chen tarnish Hu Haibing's image; he had to find a way to salvage his reputation.
It seems that he can only wait until Zhou Chen leaves, then go to Hu Haibing to apologize and explain. After all, Zhou Chen is the one who intercepted Hu Haibing's business and cut off his source of income, making him an enemy. The fact that they are having dinner together now is most likely about the bungalow. Once the talks break down, they will naturally be on the opposite side, and then his opportunity will come.
If he pledges his loyalty and says some nice things, and is willing to be the striker against Zhou Chen, his future may still be bright.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kun suddenly felt like he could do it again!
