Chapter 578 Zhou Rong makes trouble in the Zheng family
Early the next morning, thinking about helping Zheng Guangming's treatment, Li Donglai got up early.
After having a simple breakfast outside, Li Dong came to see a waiter.
"Comrade, where is the most famous Chinese medicine store in Jichun?"
The medicines prescribed by the Barefoot Doctor system are usually relatively cheap but rare medicines.
For example, lightning strikes wood, Renzhonghuang, nectar pills, and root-cutting needles.
But this time the routine was broken.
Treating Zheng Guangming's eye disease requires several expensive drugs, which are expensive.
Considering the conditions of Zheng Juan's family, they may not be able to afford it. Li Donglai naturally wants to be a good person and will even help Zheng Guangming buy medicinal materials.
In the corridor of the hotel, it was just a simple thing.
Li Donglai asked about the location of the traditional Chinese medicine store, and the waiter told Li Donglai the location, and the matter was considered completed.
But the waiter was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Director Li, you want to buy Chinese medicine. You go back to the room and wait for a while. I will report it to the deputy manager of our hotel now."
After she finished speaking, she ran away quickly before Li Donglai could react.
Li Donglai looked at her back, scratched his head, and felt a little puzzled.
"Does your deputy manager have a Chinese medicine shop at home?"
It's just that they wanted to report, so we couldn't stop them. Li Donglai was about to go back to the room to change clothes, so he took Li Xiaomei, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu back to the room.
Just after changing clothes and getting ready to go out, someone knocked on the door of the room and Zhang Long's voice came from outside.
"Director Li, Comrade Zhou Kefeng, the hotel's deputy manager, is here."
"Okay, let him wait outside."
Li Donglai stood in front of the mirror and arranged his clothes, then opened the door to the room and walked out.
Zhou Kefeng was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When he saw Li Donglai coming out, he quickly stood up and said hello: "Director Li, hello, I am Zhou Kefeng, the deputy manager of Jichun Hotel. I am now responsible for the daily management of Jichun Hotel."
Li Donglai looked Zhou Kefeng up and down subconsciously.
He is in his thirties, with short hair and looks energetic. The sleeves of his clothes have turned white after washing, and the leather uppers on his feet are a little chapped. Compared with his former manager Liu Zhenshan, his clothes seem a bit shabby.
Zhou Kefeng was also secretly sizing up Li Donglai. He was young, had a kind attitude, and did not have the unique temperament of a superior person. He could not be seen as a well-established person at all. No wonder Liu Zhenshan capsized in the gutter.
Thinking of this, Zhou Kefeng was full of gratitude to Li Donglai.
Zhou Kefeng is the public manager assigned to Jichun Hotel. Logically speaking, he should be the general manager. Liu Zhenshan, as the private manager, can only serve as the deputy manager.
However, Liu Zhenshan is deeply rooted in Jichun Hotel and has some influence in Jichun City. Zhou Kefeng is a practical man and is no match for Liu Zhenshan in playing tricks.
After he entered the Jichun Hotel, because he could not stand Liu Zhenshan's misbehavior, he repeatedly came forward to confront Liu Zhenshan.
Liu Zhenshan regarded Zhou Kefeng as his great enemy. In order to prevent Zhou Kefeng from interfering in hotel affairs, he encouraged the employees of Jichun Hotel to report his situation to the superiors.
The superiors immediately suspended Zhou Kefeng from his duties and sent an investigation team down to investigate Zhou Kefeng.
There was nothing wrong with Zhou Kefeng himself. After two months of investigation, the investigation team finally returned without success. The superiors helped Zhou Kefeng recover his reputation.
However, in the past two months, Liu Zhenshan successfully obtained the position of general manager through various connections. Zhou Kefeng, who returned to Jichun Hotel, could only become a deputy manager.
Liu Zhenshan was a ruthless person, and he did not let Zhou Kefeng go because of this. He used his authority as the general manager to suppress Zhou Kefeng repeatedly.
Zhou Kefeng could only retreat steadily, all the power in his hands was taken away, and he would soon be in a state of semi-retirement.
Even Zhou Kefeng's wife persuaded Zhou Kefeng to leave Jichun Hotel and transfer to another unit. Anyway, he would still get his monthly salary, so why bother fighting with Liu Zhenshan!
but.
Zhou Kefeng just couldn't stand Liu Zhenshan's domineering behavior in Jichun Hotel. He also knew that if Liu Zhenshan continued like this, Jichun Hotel would be ruined sooner or later.
Jichun Hotel is a representative of public-private partnership. If something goes wrong, what will the common people think? What will the private owners think?
So Zhou Kefeng insisted on coming to work at Jichun Hotel even though he was being squeezed out.
Because he knew that as long as he was still in Jichun Hotel, Liu Zhenshan would not dare to do whatever he wanted.
Zhou Kefeng originally thought that doing this was enough, but who would have thought that Liu Zhenshan actually sought his own death and sent people to attack Li Donglai.
After learning what happened, the superiors immediately dealt with Liu Zhenshan seriously, sent an investigation team to investigate Liu Zhenshan's criminal evidence, and appointed Zhou Kefeng, who had almost retreated to the second line, as the general manager of Jichun Hotel.
It can be said that Zhou Kefeng became the general manager all because of Li Donglai.
Therefore, after he took office, he immediately told the hotel waiters to pay close attention to Li Donglai's situation and report to him immediately if he found out that the guests had any needs.
....
After chatting for a while, Li Donglai understood Zhou Kefeng's intention and did not shirk: "To be honest with Manager Zhou, I really need to buy some Chinese herbal medicine."
"That's just right. My daughter-in-law's family has been running a Chinese medicine shop for generations. The most famous Chen Liji in Jichun City is prescribed by my daughter-in-law's family. If you need any medicine, you can tell me directly and I will ask them to help you buy it." Zhou
Ke Feng's eyes lit up and he said quickly.
Li Donglai nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble you, but the medicine this time is a bit expensive, ten-year-old wild ginseng, snowy wild Codonopsis pilosula, twenty-year-old Ganoderma lucidum..."
Li Donglai named seven or eight kinds of medicines, all of which would be difficult to find in later generations.
Who would have thought that after hearing this, Zhou Kefeng patted his chest without hesitation and promised: "Director Li, don't worry, Chen Liji has all these drugs, and I will go and buy them for you right away."
"I'm sorry to trouble you, but we have to make something clear." Li Donglai sat up straight and said, "How much each medicine costs must be based on the market price. You cannot under-quote. Otherwise, you don't have to buy these medicines.
.”
"Of course, I, Zhou Kefeng, can support my family with my monthly salary of seventy-eight yuan, but it's impossible for me to help you advance money." Zhou Kefeng's face straightened.
: "Chen Liji is also a state-owned pharmacy. Every account is recorded and the accounts are checked every month. The price will never be understated."
Although Zhou Kefeng didn't know Li Donglai's identity, he knew from the cautious attitude above that his identity was unusual.
Such a big shot would naturally not ruin his reputation for a little medicine.
He had no intention of doing that before he came.
"Okay, then go ahead and do it!" Li Donglai nodded.
This Zhou Kefeng is a capable and disciplined person. It is a good thing to have such a person as the general manager of Jichun Hotel.
Zhou Kefeng moved very quickly, and it only took him half an hour to bring all the medicines to the guest room.
After Li Donglai checked it, he paid for the medicine according to Chen Liji's price.
What surprised him was that the price of these drugs was much cheaper than those in Beijing. The total cost was less than thirty yuan.
Li Donglai originally thought that Zhou Kefeng was responsible, but he finally understood after hearing Zhou Kefeng's explanation.
Jichun is located near a mountain. After the mountain people collect the herbs, they will sell them directly to Chen Liji through the commune. There is no need for above-mentioned adjustments and there is no third party to increase the price, so the price is naturally cheaper.
In pharmacies in the capital, all medicines are distributed with the approval of ministries and commissions. They may have to go through seven or eight layers of relationships, and each layer will add a layer of price. When it reaches the customer, the price will naturally be higher.
The nature is similar to that of later generations of direct sales online stores. The price of the same product in an online store can be at least 30% more expensive than in a physical store.
After getting the medicine, Li Donglai thanked Zhou Kefeng and then took the bus to the photon film.
It snowed all night last night, and the roads in Photon Film were covered with ice, making it slippery when walking, so you must be careful.
Li Donglai took small steps, always afraid of falling.
Li Xiaomei seemed to have found something interesting. She squatted on the ground, stretched out her hands, and let Zhang Long and Zhao Hu pull her to slide on the ice.
From time to time bursts of giggles broke out, looking particularly excited.
The group of people arrived outside the small courtyard of Zheng Juan's house.
Li Donglai was about to open the door when he heard a sharp sound coming from inside the house.
"Zheng Juan, this little bitch, you don't care about your family's conditions and you want to marry our Bingkun. I think you are wishful thinking."
Inside the room, Zhou Rong was pointing at Zheng Juan's nose and scolding her.
The matter has to start from last night,
Last night, Qiao Chunyan was following Zhou Bingkun and was accidentally interrupted by Li Donglai.
After a group of local ruffians gathered together and tried to attack Li Donglai, but were severely punished by Li Donglai, Qiao Chunyan saw that things were not going well, so she immediately adopted the thirty-sixth strategy as the best option.
She was about to go home and sleep, but she didn't expect to run into Zhou Bingkun coming out of Zheng Juan's house.
After Zhou Bingkun was kicked out by Zheng Juan, he staggered and shouted that he wanted to marry Zheng Juan.
Qiao Chunyan's face changed drastically when she heard this.
She also hoped to marry Zhou Bingkun and then use the power of the Zhou family to turn a sparrow into a golden phoenix.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Bingkun fell in love with Zheng Juan. This was simply unbearable.
Qiao Chunyan also knew Zheng Juan, and knew that Zheng Juan's appearance far exceeded hers, and her weak temperament was too attractive to men.
If no one came forward to stop him, Zhou Bingkun would be taken away by Zheng Juan.
Qiao Chunyan was not the kind of person to sit still and wait for death. She took the opportunity of sending Zhou Bingkun home to tell the Zhou family that Zhou Bingkun wanted to marry Zheng Juan.
The Zhou family was furious at that time and put Zhou Bingkun under house arrest and sent Zhou Rong to warn Zheng Juan.
Zheng Juan has a weak temperament, and faced the aggressive Zhou Rong, she didn't know how to respond for a while.
Zheng Juanniang couldn't see her daughter being bullied, so she stepped down from the kang and said: "Girl of the Zhou family, although our family is poor, we are also an innocent family. The threshold of your Zhou family is high and we can't climb it, but you don't have to.
Come to our house and make a scene."
"I heard that Miss Zhou is a college student and has always been well-educated. When I saw you today, I was really disappointed. You are no different from the shrew in our photon film!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Rong became even more angry and pointed the gun at Zheng Juanniang: "You old woman, you are so old. If you don't teach your daughter not to hook up with men outside, you will tell me that I am wrong."
As she spoke, Zhou Rong kicked the table, causing the hot water bottle to fall to the ground and spilling boiling water all over the floor.
Zheng Guangming was skewering candied haws in the house. Hearing the noise, he ran out and stopped in front of Zheng Juan.
"Bad woman, you are not allowed to hurt my sister."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
When Zhou Rong saw Zheng Guangming, she suddenly burst out laughing. She pointed at Zheng Guangming and said, "I have long heard that there is a blind man in our photon area. I didn't believe it at first. What evil did he do in his previous life? What kind of evil did he do in this life?"
You must be blind, but I didn’t expect it to be true!”
"In other words, the evil done by your sister and your mother has been repaid on you."
Zheng Guangming has a calm personality, and when he is bullied by others, he just laughs and doesn't care about it.
But if someone dared to touch Zheng Juan and Zheng Juan's mother, he would fight with that person even if he risked his life.
Hearing Zhou Rong's vicious scolding, Zheng Guangming couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward to push Zhou Rong.
"Oh, it's so ridiculous that a blind man still wants to hit someone!"
But his eyesight was not good, so Zhou Rong just dodged and kicked Zheng Guangming on the butt.
Seeing that Zheng Guangming was about to hit the door frame, Zheng Juan and Zheng Juan's mother's hearts rose to their throats.
At this time, a pair of big hands reached out from outside the door, firmly held Zheng Guangming's arm, and helped him up.
Zheng Guangming smelled a familiar smell and his eyes widened: "Brother Donglai, you are here."
That's right, the person who came in was none other than Li Donglai.
His trip was originally just to treat Zheng Guangming's illness, and he did not want to get involved in the affairs of the Zheng family and the Zhou family.
After all, the root of the matter actually lies with Zhou Bingkun.
If Zhou Bingkun does not leave the Zhou family, it will be difficult for his marriage to Zheng Juan to happen.
In the original work, Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan fell in love, but they did not get married because they were blocked by the Zhou family.
Later, it was Zhou's mother who saw that Zheng Juan was a capable woman who could take care of her and Zhou Zhigang, and Zhou Bingkun forced her to die, so the two were able to get married.
In this case, even coming forward will not solve the problem.
but.
Zhou Rong went too far, not only insulting Zheng Juan and Zheng's mother.
He also beat Zheng Guangming.
You know, Zheng Guangming is just a child and can't see yet.
When Zhou Rong saw Li Donglai coming in, her expression changed immediately.
Zhou Rong has been known as a talented girl since she was a child, and coupled with her good looks, she is always successful no matter what she does.
But she didn't expect that Li Donglai would not let her go at all.
"You, what are you doing here!" Zhou Rong couldn't help but take a step back.
Li Donglai chuckled and looked at her sideways: "Comrade Zhou Rong, this doesn't seem to be your home, right?"
"I..." Zhou Rong blushed at that time.
All I could do was grit my teeth and say: "This is a matter between me and the Zheng family, it has nothing to do with you."
