Chapter 1668: The peace of mind of having someone to rely on, before returning to China
It was still dark, but Xu Banxia was no longer sleepy at all. Although she was lying on the bed with Zhou Chen, she just held Zhou Chen's arm tightly and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
Zhou Chen, on the other hand, was tired after running around all night. He fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.
Listening to Zhou Chen's soft snoring, Xu Banxia gently raised his head and looked at Zhou Chen's face.
What happened tonight has caused a huge change in her perception of Zhou Chen. She didn't expect that Zhou Chen actually had such a side. Even though she didn't know what happened specifically, she knew the process by which Zhou Chen got the money.
It must be full of blood.
But Zhou Chen didn't tell her the whole thing from beginning to end, and he did it alone. When she realized it later, besides being worried, she was moved.
She knew that Zhou Chen did all this for her. If it were not for her, Zhou Chen would not have come to Tsarist Russia, let alone take risks to do such a thing. If he was not careful, he might even lose his life, but Zhou Chen was just a fool.
It passed in a few words.
She is not that kind of weak woman. Zhou Chen's behavior does not make her afraid, but makes her feel a strong sense of security. She has grown up, but no man has ever risked his life for her so much.
Inexplicably reassuring.
So in this foreign country, even if Zhou Chen did something bad, she was still willing to stand by Zhou Chen and accompany him all the time.
Thinking of this, she gently raised her head, kissed Zhou Chen's lips, then twisted her body, hugged Zhou Chen tighter, closed her eyes, leaned into Zhou Chen's arms, and fell asleep very peacefully.
…………
When he woke up, all the fatigue was gone. Zhou Chen looked at Xu Banxia, who was leaning next to him like a lazy cat, and reached out to hold her in his arms.
Xu Banxia is a strong woman, and she always has a resolute style in front of others. Although she is not developed yet and is far from as domineering as she will be in the plot later, she is still very powerful, but now she is lying on her bed like a little woman
In my arms, the contrast is quite strong.
Zhou Chen's movements woke up Xu Banxia. She opened her confused eyes and saw that it was Zhou Chen. She lazily leaned into Zhou Chen's arms and found a comfortable position.
"Have you slept well?"
"Well, it's ready."
Zhou Chen took the phone and took a look and found that it was already past ten o'clock.
"We can go to dinner later. After dinner, we will go out for a walk."
Xu Banxia responded: "Well, even though the business has not been completed this time, we just treat it as a trip. We will play here for a few days before returning to China."
Zhou Chen naturally had no objection. He proposed to go out for a stroll, but it was not just a casual stroll. Yesterday, he had already tortured the situation of the Tsarist Russian woman Nina who conspired with him from Xiao Yang's mouth.
Nina was the important contact person who helped Xu Banxia find military connections. Although Zhou Chen could also find a way to build connections with the Russian military, that would be risky and not suitable for a businessman like Xu Banxia, so he thought it was better to take Nina's route.
The road is more convenient and safer.
But of course he couldn't take the initiative to find Nina, so he planned to follow the example in the plot and let Xu Banxia and Nina meet by chance. As long as they met, he believed that Xu Banxia would definitely recognize them, and it would save trouble later.
He said it was an accidental encounter, but even if he goes to the places where Nina hangs out, he may not meet her once or twice, but the more times he meets, there is always a chance that he will meet her. If he still can't meet her, then he can only use other methods.
Method.
Before getting up, Zhou Chen couldn't hold back and got close to Xu Banxia again. After getting up, Xu Banxia was still blaming Zhou Chen for tossing her.
Putting away the money Zhou Chen brought back last night, Xu Banxia said: "Originally, if I didn't get scrap steel this time, I would definitely go bankrupt, but with the money you brought back, I can survive for a while. As long as I can survive
After this time, I will redouble my efforts to do good deeds in the future.”
In fact, she didn't want the money. After all, Zhou Chen brought all the money back. Even if she wasn't prepared to pay it back, she felt she should give it to Zhou Chen.
But Zhou Chen didn't want it. It must be that he brought the money back for her. She happened to encounter difficulties, and the money could still be useful. In addition, she was indeed very difficult now, so she accepted Zhou Chen's offer.
kindness.
She is not a pedantic person. Although she said she would use the money for charity, the prerequisite is to survive herself first. She is not noble enough to do something that would sacrifice herself for others.
Zhou Chen held her hand and said: "This is called the road of heaven and earth. Xu Banxia, you are a woman I like. If you have great luck, you will definitely succeed."
Xu Banxia suddenly laughed out loud: "I'm just a small boss. I have a lot of luck. It's like fortune telling. I think my greatest luck may be meeting you."
"That's not bad. I am also part of your luck. Believe me, there will be a road to the mountain. We can have a good time here for a few days, and maybe there will be a brighter day."
Seeing that Xu Banxia became a little depressed when he talked about scrap steel, Zhou Chen tried another way to persuade him.
"Actually, it's not necessarily a bad thing that you don't have scrap steel now."
When Xu Banxia heard this, he was very surprised and asked: "Why do you say that?"
Zhou Chendao: "Since the Luzhou Trade Fair, I have been paying attention to the steel industry, especially the international steel market. Recently, I found that the fluctuations in international steel prices are somewhat abnormal, and then I began to collect news and information on the international steel market.
We have come to the conclusion that international steel prices may fluctuate greatly this year, and it is likely that there will be a substantial price drop in the first half of the year.”
"The plummeting steel prices are real or fake?"
Xu Banxia looked shocked. She has been in the scrap steel business for several years. Steel price fluctuations are normal, but they are all small increases and decreases. She has never experienced such a sharp drop as Zhou Chen said.
Zhou Chen said: "This is my judgment based on the international situation. It may not be accurate, but it still has certain reference value."
Although Xu Banxia went to college, she didn't know much about the international situation, but she felt that Zhou Chen couldn't lie to her. What she doubted was whether Zhou Chen's judgment was really accurate. After all, Zhou Chen had not had much contact with the steel industry before.
, are the answers obtained really informative?
However, Zhou Chen knew very well that during the Chinese Spring Festival, the international steel price plummeted, rapidly falling from more than one thousand to seven hundred, which was a cliff-like drop.
In fact, there is another way, and that is to transport the scrap steel back to the country before the steel price plummets. Because the purchase price agreed between Xu Banxia and Zhao Lei is the steel price on the day the scrap steel arrives in Hong Kong, so as long as it can be done before the steel price plummets,
Just arrive in Hong Kong four or five days before the Chinese New Year and settle the bill quickly, and you can guarantee to make money.
But the problem is, there are only about ten days left before the Chinese New Year, and we have to find someone, and we have to contact the Black Sea. Even if we have reached an agreement, we still have to contact the freight. Even if everything goes well, after these procedures are completed, we have to ship it back to the country.
It will be after the New Year, so there is no time at all.
"Don't think about it now. Let's go out for a walk. No matter when we go back, you must bring something for Xiao Chen and Tong Xiaoqi, right?"
"Yes, after finally coming here, I must buy something for them to go back to. Moreover, leather jackets and other items are very cheap here."
"Then let's go shopping and bring back some of the specialties here."
"Well, it's not long before the Chinese New Year. We will try to return to China before the end of the year. It would be more comfortable to spend the Spring Festival at home."
…………
Gao Xinyi threw the phone aside angrily, fell on the bed with an unhappy look on his face.
"I can't get through the phone, and I don't know when he will be able to return to China. I have no one to play with. It's so boring and boring."
Because the Chinese New Year is about to come, her mother is busy and no longer urges her to work, so she is more free now, but freedom is freedom, but it is true that it is boring. She thinks it is more interesting to play with Zhou Chen.
After lying down for a while, she sat up again, picked up the books on the desk, and read them carefully. These were books recommended to her by Zhou Chen. They were books about international trade. She had no one to play with, so she could only study.
Already.
Pinellia ternata yard.
Tong Xiaoqi saw Chen Yuyu sending the debt collectors away with a smile on his face, and said worriedly: "They come here to collect debts every day, and it won't work if they continue like this. My fleet can't get any good work now.
I can’t make much money, so I can’t give much subsidies to the storage yard.”
Chen Yuyu said very calmly: "It's okay, it's just the Chinese New Year. These people just think about whether they have dates or not. Isn't this the case for all people who do projects? They rush them, and we drag ours. As long as
Once the fat man brings in the scrap steel, it won’t be a big deal.”
"But can you hold on like this all day?" Tong Xiaoqi asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I can hold on."
Chen Yuyu patted his chest. Since there was no waste oil pollution on the tidal flats, he didn't have that huge psychological burden, and he didn't go to the water to clean up the pollution in the winter, so he was in good health. Although he was a little weak, it wasn't too big.
question.
"Then boss, when will she come back? It's almost the New Year. If he doesn't come back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with these guys. And I also heard that the gang from the fishing village have been here a few times.
Are you looking for a job this time?"
"Yes, didn't I promise them when I signed the contract that if there was work in the yard, I would hire people from their village? But now this place is still under construction and they are all construction teams. Where can I find work for them? Then the village chief will
They were unhappy and came to ask for the rent, saying that we had promised to pay them five years at a time, but we only gave them one year. They were crazy about money and left them alone."
Chen Yuyu didn't take it to heart at all. In his opinion, these were not big things.
"But you're right. It's almost the New Year and Fatty hasn't come back yet, but you don't have to worry. Zhou Chen has also gone north to find Fatty. As long as he's here, Fatty should be fine."
"What? When did Zhou Chen go to the north? Why didn't I know?" Tong Xiaoqi looked shocked. He really didn't know about this.
Chen Yuyu said with a smile: "He has been gone for a few days, and he came to see me specifically before he left. Among other things, Zhou Chen is really interested in Fatty. He knew that Fatty was in trouble, so he went specifically to find Fatty.
Apart from anything else, just this sentimental and righteous attitude of going out to find Fatty at all costs, I really think highly of him and Fatty."
Tong Xiaoqi remained silent. He actually had thoughts about Xu Banxia, but Xu Banxia had already killed him. But even so, he still felt depressed when he saw Zhou Chen approaching Xu Banxia.
Chen Yuyu suddenly approached Tong Xiaoqi and lowered his voice and said, "There's something else you don't know. Before Zhou Chen left, he was worried that there would be problems on our side, so he quietly left me money as a backup, one million, so I didn't care at all."
Worrying about the cost.”
"Ah? Is there still such a thing? That guy just gave it to you?"
"Yeah, that's why I said he was obsessed with Fatty. He was worried about Fatty, so he went north to find Fatty. He was also worried about Fatty here, so he kept the money."
Chen Yuyu said with emotion: "Really, if nothing else, Zhou Chen is reliable and really cares about Fatty. The reason why I didn't use the money he gave me was mainly because of Fatty. Fatty said,
I don’t want to have any financial involvement with him, I understand what she means, she said this because she cares about others.”
"So you don't panic because you have money? You're so good, Xiao Chen, you didn't tell me such an important thing, so I worried about you in vain." Tong Xiaoqi glared at Chen Yuyu with great dissatisfaction.
Chen Yuyu chuckled and said: "You didn't ask, right? I just thought that unless it was absolutely necessary, we shouldn't touch this money, so as not to make things more difficult for Fatty.
, on the contrary, I hope that Fatty can find a good home."
Tong Xiaoqi hummed and said, "Are you so sure that guy is a good home?"
Chen Yuyu said with certainty: "I will not misjudge the person."
…………
After staying in Moscow for a few more days, the time came to the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Xu Banxia saw that the New Year was coming, so he started to pack his things and prepare to return to China with Zhou Chen to celebrate the New Year.
While packing her things, she said to Zhou Chen: "Tomorrow we will go buy tickets and try to get home before New Year's Eve. Didn't you say you won't go back to Luzhou to celebrate the New Year? Then just go to my house, us, and
Xiao Chen and Tong Xiaoqi, let’s celebrate the New Year together.”
Zhou Chen looked at Xu Banxia carrying one package after another, many of which were gifts for everyone.
"You don't have to worry about the trouble when you buy so many things."
"It's not easy to come here. I haven't made any money, so I can't bring anything back. Besides, I don't have you to help me, hehe."
After playing here with Zhou Chen for a few days, she has gradually let go of her worries. Originally, she was worried that if things didn't work out this time, she would go bankrupt when she went back, but Zhou Chen's help gave her a 'windfall'
, if she makes good use of it, not only will she not go bankrupt, but she will also have the opportunity to continue.
Under various factors, she could only let go of her frustrations and start thinking about the future.
After Xu Banxia packed up, Zhou Chen took Xu Banxia out for shopping again.
"We have been here several times. There is not much to see here."
"After returning to China, we may not come back again in the future. Before leaving, let's visit the places we have visited before. After all, this trip to a foreign country can be regarded as the beginning of our time together. It should be kept as a souvenir."
Hearing what Zhou Chen said, Xu Banxia couldn't help but smile. Yes, although he didn't achieve his wish this time, it was not without gain.
"You're right, this is also the place to witness our love. Let's go, and we'll take care of the rest when we come back."
Xu Banxia held Zhou Chen's arm and smiled sweetly at him. Zhou Chen smiled back, and then they walked out the door hand in hand.
