Chapter 135 Christmas Eve Arrives
Zhou Shiyan’s great-grandfather was a founding general.
Although he is no longer with us, his remaining influence and the resources and connections he left behind have been inherited by Zhou Shiyan's grandfather Zhou Yanfeng.
Zhou Yanfeng inherited his father's mantle and joined the army at an early age.
With the help of his father and his own outstanding abilities, he had reached the rank of general when he retired, which is equivalent to the level of vice prime minister.
There is an old saying that wealth does not last for more than three generations.
But this is obviously not the case with the Zhou family.
The next two generations of Zhou family members were also very outstanding.
Zhou Yanfeng himself achieved the highest military rank in his generation, while his younger brother Zhou Yanzheng embarked on a path of politics.
This person is also capable, and he eventually retired from a ministerial-level position.
The next generation Zhou Yanfeng had two sons.
The eldest son Zhou Shengjing and the eldest daughter-in-law Qiao Ying are both soldiers.
Zhou Shengjing is currently the commander of the Beijing Military Region and holds the rank of lieutenant general.
If nothing unexpected happens, there is a great possibility that he will be awarded the rank of general during his tenure.
Zhou Shiyan's aunt Qiao Ying, although born in an ordinary working-class family, joined the special forces at the age of nineteen.
He rose step by step relying on his own abilities.
After marrying Zhou Shengjing, her path to success became smoother.
The couple has a son, Zhou Shiyu, Zhou Shiyan’s cousin, who is also in the army and is now a lieutenant colonel.
Unlike Zhou Shengjing's family of three who are all in the army, Zhou Yanfeng's second son Zhou Shenghua embarked on the road of business.
The ZTE Group he founded is mainly engaged in some high-tech and cutting-edge technology industries.
Among them, some military technology is transferred to civilian use, and we have maintained close cooperation with the military.
His wife, Yunshu, also runs her own clothing brand.
Their only son, Zhou Shiyan, holds a PhD in finance. While in school, he started his own company and made waves on Wall Street.
Now that he has returned to China to develop his career, I think there will be big moves soon.
Not only Zhou Yanfeng's family, but also Zhou Yanzheng's descendants are either in politics or business, and each has achieved certain success.
I think this has something to do with the Zhou family's family style.
With such a big boss joining her, there is no need to worry about her project not being able to develop.
"Meet and talk?"
Looking at the message sent by the other party, An Yunxi thought for a moment and continued typing a reply.
"Brother Shi Yan, is tomorrow okay?"
Today is Christmas Eve, and it also happens to be Saturday.
The four people from their dormitory 303 made an appointment to go shopping, eat and watch a movie.
"Can."
"Where shall we meet tomorrow?"
"Go to your company."
"Brother Shi Yan, my office has just been renovated and hasn't been put into use yet. How about we go to your company?"
"That's fine."
After that, he sent the address of the ZTE Group building.
An Yunxi checked the navigation and found that it would take an hour to drive twenty kilometers.
"Brother Shi Yan, is ten o'clock tomorrow morning ok?"
"good."
The four girls from dormitory 303 went out at two o'clock in the afternoon.
An Yunxi drove a car with her three roommates, and Song Mingzhu's bodyguard followed in another car.
The three of them have become accustomed to the fact that Song Mingzhu has bodyguards with her whenever she leaves school.
Regarding this matter, after the few people had known each other for two months, Tong Yao brought it up for discussion.
Not everyone in Song Mingzhu's family brings bodyguards with them when they go out. The reason for this is that when Song Mingzhu was a child, she was kidnapped once by someone sent by her father's political enemies.
Although they were found and rescued quickly, the whole family was scared.
Since then, Song's father has found a special bodyguard for his daughter.
Whenever my daughter goes out, the bodyguard must follow her.
They didn't run far, just to the nearby Xinzhongguan Shopping Center.
Shopping, watching movies, and dining are all available here.
When we parked the car, it was already past 2:20.
The four of them quickly bought drinks and popcorn, and then picked up their tickets.
The movie starts at 2:40, and now you can check in and enter.
They were watching a Hollywood movie called "Captain Rayleigh".
I chose the original version, after all, dubbed films always lack some of the feeling.
Anyway, everyone's English is pretty good, and at worst they can still read the text.
I don't think there will be any situation where you don't understand.
This is a movie based on real events.
is a story about flying skills and decision making.
It is also a story about humanity, responsibility and honor.
I have to say that storytelling is indeed the most praiseworthy aspect of this film.
It uses textbook film language, exquisite narrative structure, superb acting skills, and precise audio-visual language to tell a story without suspense in a gripping way, and to re-create a well-known hero in a heroic way.
The movie is more than 90 minutes long, with clear logic and reasonable expression techniques, which make up this wonderful story.
After coming out of the movie, it was a little past four o'clock. It was still early after dinner, so they started shopping right away.
An Yunxi actually lacks nothing.
But as a woman, who can resist the temptation to shop?
