Chapter 1664 Xu Banxia goes north, and the wild cat runs away from home again
The opening scene of Binhai Banxia Storage Yard was crowded with people. Xu Banxia specially found a lot of people to make the scene lively. Many villagers from the fishing village also came, as well as workers working in the storage yard, all of whom acted as spectators.
Everyone was happy to receive red envelopes while watching the show, so everyone was beaming with joy and happily said some festive words.
Zhou Chen arrived earlier. As soon as he arrived, Xu Banxia immediately greeted him, followed by Chen Yuyu and Tong Xiaoqi.
"Zhou Chen, you are here, welcome, welcome."
"Congratulations, Mr. Xu, you are fast enough. It has only been a few days and the yard is already open."
Xu Banxia said with a smile: "There is no other way. I just hope that the storage yard will open before I can take the next step. I will go to the north in a few days. Zhou Chen, you can just call me Banxia."
"Our storage yard is just in its infancy. There is nothing in it yet. It's all under construction. Otherwise, I could take you in to have a look."
"It doesn't matter. It will be the same when you come back to see it after everything is ready."
Zhou Chen naturally knows why Xu Banxia is so eager to open the yard, so the current Banxia yard is just an empty shelf, without even a decent building, and even the stage is temporarily built.
"Ban Xia, you go and greet the guests, I'll go shopping by myself."
Xu Banxia was indeed a little busy today. After hearing Zhou Chen's words, he was not polite and just gave instructions.
"Tong Xiaoqi, you are responsible for greeting Mr. Zhou, and you must try your best to meet any requests."
"Boss."
Tong Xiaoqi wanted to refuse, but Xu Banxia wouldn't give him this chance at all. When she saw someone driving up again, she hurried up with Chen Yuyu.
Tong Xiaoqi was very depressed. Ever since he was taught a lesson by Zhou Chen last time, he had tried his best to avoid getting along with Zhou Chen. He also wanted to be shameless. This was the first time in his life that he had been beaten so badly.
Zhou Chen saw through his thoughts at a glance and chuckled: "Why, you are still not convinced, why don't you try again?"
The gloomy look on Tong Xiaoqi's face flashed across his face, and he replied stiffly: "You are my boss's guest, there is no way I can fight with you."
After saying this, he paused and showed hesitation, but he still said: "Thank you very much for this storage yard. Without your help, we wouldn't have won it so easily. I owe you a debt for this matter."
Favor."
Zhou Chen said: "I am helping Xu Banxia, not you, so there is no need for you to owe me a favor."
"The favor my boss owes is what I owe. No matter what happens to you in the future, as long as I can do it, even if you ask me to kill people, I will never give up."
"Oh, who do you think I am, and I ask you to kill people?"
Tong Xiaoqi can be regarded as a typical example of bravery and foolhardy, but in the plot, this guy is indeed lucky. He meets a noble person and takes him with him all the time.
While the two of them were wandering around, people who came to cheer for Xu Banxia also arrived one after another. Except for Wu Jianshe who didn't come for their small team of five, Qiu Bizheng, Feng Yu and Guo Qidong all came, but in
When giving red envelopes, it was a little embarrassing, because Qiu Bizheng and Guo Qidong meant small red envelopes, but Feng Yu packed a thick and big red envelope, which made Qiu Bizheng and others look very embarrassed.
Soon, as the most important guest invited by Xu Banxia this time, Zhao Lei, the general manager of the foreign company International Steel Company, finally arrived.
Zhou Chen came here just to make soy sauce, but what surprised him was that Xu Banxia actually led Zhao Lei and others to him and introduced each other.
"Zhou Chen, this is Mr. Zhao from Rongsite Steel International Trading Co., Ltd."
"Mr. Zhao, this is my friend Zhou Chen, the vice president of Hengyu Group."
Zhou Chen didn't want to be in the limelight, but Xu Banxia had already introduced him, so he could only greet him with a smile.
"Mr. Zhao, I have long admired your name."
Zhao Lei also responded very politely: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I wonder what is your relationship with Mr. Zhou Huan of Hengyu Group?"
Zhou Chen was a little surprised that Zhao Lei actually knew Zhou Huan. After all, they were not in the same industry, but considering that Hengyu Group is now quite large and also engaged in international trade, it was not surprising that Zhao Lei had heard of it.
"He is my eldest brother. Does Mr. Zhao know him?"
Zhao Lei's expression suddenly became solemn: "I've met him twice. Mr. Zhou is a young and promising representative in the business district of Jiangdong Province."
Although Hengyu Group is only a domestic company and there is a gap between it and the foreign company Rongsite where he works, he is only the general manager of the Rongsite branch. If you really count, he still has more advantages than company bosses like Zhou Huan.
There's a big difference.
What surprised him was that he thought Xu Banxia was just a small boss who wasted money on scrap steel, but he never expected that she actually had a friend like Zhou Chen.
Qiu Bizheng and the others who came together also looked surprised. They didn't know about the Hengyu Group, but seeing how polite Zhao Lei was to Zhou Chen, they knew that Zhou Chen's identity was not simple without even thinking about it.
They have been dealing with Xu Banxia for several years, and they are very clear about Xu Banxia's background. They really didn't expect that Xu Banxia actually had such connections.
Several people complimented each other, and the opening ceremony was about to begin. Xu Banxia enthusiastically invited several people to come on stage to cut the ribbon and take photos. He also invited Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen refused. He agreed to be the man behind the scenes, and he didn't want to get into trouble.
Everything comes to an end.
Seeing that Zhou Chen was unwilling, Xu Banxia didn't force it anymore, and smiled and invited Zhao Lei and others to come to the stage to cut the ribbon.
The opening ribbon-cutting started quickly and ended quickly. Because Xu Banxia's current strength is limited and he can't invite any important people except acquaintances, so there is no need to make a big fuss.
After the opening ceremony, Xu Banxia also achieved his goal and got the advance payment from Zhao Lei. Guo Qidong thought it was profitable, so he also lent Xu Banxia 1 million, but he needed to pay back 1.3 million after a year.
The interest rate was very scary, but Xu Banxia happily accepted it.
After everything was done, Zhou Chen hadn't left yet, so Xu Banxia came over specifically to find him.
"Zhou Chen is the biggest contributor to the opening of this storage yard."
"Don't say that. This is your property. I just helped you with a small favor. You have thanked me several times and you are so unfamiliar with it."
Xu Banxia smiled cheerfully and said: "Well, I won't say anything anymore. I didn't get the invitation last time. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. I hope you can give me this honor."
Zhou Chen said: "Of course I have to give you this face."
After Xu Banxia explained to Chen Yuyu and Tong Xiaoqi, he got into Zhou Chen's car and left the yard.
While eating, Xu Banxia said to Zhou Chen: "We are going to the north next week. You told me a lot about the north and helped me so much. I want to toast you. Thank you very much."
Zhou Chen didn't drink while driving, he just drank a drink.
"The situation in the north is very complicated. It's best not to be separated after you go there. If anything happens, call the embassy immediately. Our country has done a good job in this regard. As long as there are difficulties, the embassy will definitely help.
.”
"The weather in the north is much colder than here. Prepare warm clothes before going. Don't bring too much cash with you. Don't expose your wealth. You take the train there. It will take at least several days along the way. When you sleep,
Also pay special attention to..."
Xu Banxia put down her chopsticks and listened silently to Zhou Chen's instructions. She didn't know what it was like. It was not that no one cared about her, but Zhou Chen's concern for her made her feel different from others.
A few days ago, she also met Su Guodong, the chief physician of the People's Hospital. Su Guodong was very concerned about her, interested in her, and took good care of her. She also understood what Su Guodong meant, but she couldn't respond at all.
To her, Zhou Chen's care and help were different from Su Guodong's.
It's just that she is very sober. Now she just wants to have a career and must put all her energy into it. She doesn't want to talk about relationships yet. It just so happens that Zhou Chen doesn't show off like Su Guodong, so she thinks this is good.
"Thank you. I have remembered everything you said. I am with a few big brothers. They will take care of me on the way."
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "If you really encounter any problems, you can call me. Maybe I can also help."
"Thanks."
Zhou Chen drove Xu Banxia home. When he got downstairs, as soon as Xu Banxia got out of the car, he saw Su Guodong standing downstairs.
She waved goodbye to Zhou Chen and walked to Su Guodong.
"Director Su, why are you here?"
Su Guodong pointed at Zhou Chen who drove away and asked, "Is that your friend?"
Xu Banxia nodded: "Well, what do you want from me?"
Su Guodong took a breath. Although Xu Banxia had rejected him before, he still didn't want to give up.
"I heard that you are going to the north in a few days, so I came here to say goodbye to you."
"Did you listen to what my dad said again? He is a real person who talks about everything. Director Su, thank you. I am indeed going to the north in a few days. It may take a while before I can return to China. My dad's side
…”
"Uncle, don't worry. If he has any health problems, he can go to the hospital directly to see me."
Su Guodong is still very enthusiastic and has a very good character, but Xu Banxia really doesn't call him, and she is unwilling to force herself, so she can only refuse Su Guodong.
"Thank you, Director Su."
…………
A few days passed by in a flash.
Xu Banxia, her big brothers, Wu Jianshe and others got on the train to the north together.
Although Xu Banxia left, her Banxia company is still controlled by Chen Yuzhou, and the storage yard continues to be built. Zhou Chen occasionally goes there to check on the situation. The main thing is not the storage yard, but Chen Yuzhou. After all,
Chen Yuyu is also the target of his mission.
It may be that nothing has polluted this land, and there has been no subsequent cleanup of the pollution. This means that Chen Yuyu no longer has to bear such a heavy psychological burden, and his body has not been harmed by pollution, so his body
The situation is pretty good.
Just in case, Zhou Chen still told him that if he needed help, he could call him, and Chen Yuyu agreed with a smile.
Not only Xu Banxia has a good impression of Zhou Chen, but Chen Yuyu also thinks that Zhou Chen is a very good person. He has helped them a lot without getting anything in return, so he is also very happy to make Zhou Chen a friend.
Even Tong Xiaoqi, who didn't like Zhou Chen before, has changed his attitude a lot now. Although he is not as enthusiastic as Chen Yuyu, he is not as cold-hearted as he was at the beginning.
Zhou Chen knew that Xu Banxia's trip to the north was destined to not go smoothly this time. Not only that, if Xu Banxia bought scrap steel, she would be in a very embarrassed state for the next half year.
But Zhi Gui knew that he would not stop Xu Banxia. She was a very assertive woman and could not be persuaded by just a few words. Besides, she had been preparing for so long, so it was even less possible for her to turn back.
In fact, if one had not known the subsequent development, just looking at Xu Banxia's approach and courage, she would have done absolutely nothing wrong. However, the international steel price plummeted. This is really a small probability event. Not to mention that she, a person who only dumps scrap steel, would not have thought of it.
Even a person like Zhao Lei never thought that such a thing would happen.
On this day, Zhou Chen was painting quietly in his room, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and it was very hurried.
"Zhou Chen, open the door."
Zhou Chen put down his paintbrush, walked over and opened the door to take a look.
"President Gao?"
Gao Yuejin pushed Zhou Chen away, rushed into the house, looked inside and out, and then stared at Zhou Chen with an unkind look.
"Where did you hide Gao Xinyi?"
Zhou Chen frowned: "She ran away from home again?"
"You asked knowingly, tell me where you hid her and where is she?" Gao Yuejin asked loudly.
Zhou Chen said rudely: "You are her mother, you ask me where she went?"
"She just likes to hang out with you. When she ran away from home, where else could she go but to come to you? Zhou Chen, I don't care what you want to do, but Gao Xinyi is my daughter, so don't take her chances."
"President Gao, it's not your turn to teach me how to do things. I can tell you with certainty that she didn't come to me."
"Not coming?"
Seeing that Zhou Chen didn't seem to be lying, Gao Yuejin became even more nervous: "If she didn't come to see you, then where else could she go? Where could she go?"
Zhou Chen had a guess in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud because he knew that Gao Xinyi definitely didn't want her mother to find her at this time.
Not finding her daughter there, Gao Yuejin was about to leave, but when she reached the door, she turned back.
"Zhou Chen, if Gao Xinyi comes to see you, tell her to go home immediately and I will wait for her at home. If you really treat her as a friend, you should know what to do to be good to her. She
It’s not safe for a girl to be alone outside.”
After saying that, she left in a hurry, preparing to find her daughter elsewhere.
Zhou Chen did not delay. After changing his clothes, he walked out of the hotel and drove to the Times Roller Skating Rink where Gao Xinyi took him to before.
Arriving at the roller skating rink, Zhou Chen quickly saw Gao Xinyi skating very freely in the roller skating rink, with his hands in his pockets and headphones on.
As a mother, Gao Yuejin obviously doesn't know much about her daughter. If she can know more about her, she will definitely be able to find her daughter here.
After finding Gao Xinyi, Zhou Chen was relieved. He just leaned on the railing of the roller skating venue and quietly watched Gao Xinyi floating and moving like an elf.
A few minutes later, Gao Xinyi, who was skating, suddenly glanced around and saw Zhou Chen, who was lying on the railing and looking at her quietly. His expression suddenly became stunned, and he skated straight in the direction of Zhou Chen.
, she slid until she was in front of Zhou Chen, and it was Zhou Chen who stretched out his hands and grabbed her arms to make her stop.
Gao Xinyi took off his headphones, chewed gum, and showed a bright smile.
"You came alone? Did you come to me specifically?"
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because you won't come here alone. If you come here to find me, you must know that I ran away from home and my mother came to find you again, right?"
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "You're right. It seems like you have a pretty bright mind."
Gao Xinyi rolled his eyes: "Don't look down on people. I'm a college student who graduated from a regular university. Since I'm here, let's skate a few laps together."
"sure."
Zhou Chen went to change his shoes and skated with Gao Xinyi for more than half an hour. Then they stopped together, holding on to the railing, and drank soda together.
