"I discussed it with Lao Wu, Lu Hong and the others and thought of holding another educated youth gathering. What do you think?"
Yang Huajian stated his purpose and asked Zhou Chen and Mao Tutu.
Mao Tutu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "I don't have any ideas. If you can call everyone together, I will definitely come over. Among our group of educated youths who jumped in the queue, I heard that there seem to be many people.
It’s developing well, and it’s good to bring everyone together and keep in touch.”
"Mao Tutu is right. We also have this plan. Those of us who go to sea to do business still have to know how to use resources."
Yang Huajian strongly agreed with Mao Tutu's words. He also had this intention in wanting to hold a gathering of educated youth.
Zhou Chen chuckled. He felt that Yang Huajian had another big reason, which was that he wanted to show off. After all, he could be said to be quite successful now.
As a man who is vain, has a good face, and likes to show off, of course he needs an occasion where he can show off to his heart's content to cater to him.
Zhou Chen said: "I don't have any objection, just let me know when the time comes."
Yang Huajian smiled and said: "No problem, I don't understand you yet. You are definitely not willing to do such troublesome things."
The four of them stayed in the private room for a while before leaving.
Two days later, Zhou Chen received the information compiled by Yang Huajian. It could be seen that Yang Huajian had put a lot of thought into it, and the information sent was very detailed.
In addition to the information, Yang Huajian also informed him of the time for the educated youth gathering, which was scheduled for next Saturday.
It has to be said that Yang Huajian's ability to organize these activities is definitely ranked first among all the educated youths. It is estimated that no one else has the same appeal as him.
Zhou Chen spent a day carefully studying the detailed information of the land Yang Huajian mentioned.
It is indeed a cornucopia as Yang Huajian said, but after research, he felt that Yang Huajian's idea was a bit too simple. It is unlikely that land development of this scale will be handed over to one party. If he thought correctly, in the end,
The result may be joint development by multiple parties.
If this is the case, it will be very troublesome. He does not object to cooperation with others, but he has a habit. Even if it is cooperation, he must occupy the majority and have absolute say.
But if he develops this land, he will definitely not be able to obtain such power, so he already has concerns in his mind.
A week passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the educated youth gathering.
On Saturday night, Yang Huajian generously booked the restaurant for the whole night. Tonight, except for their educated youth party, there were no other guests.
One after another, educated youths came to the restaurant and greeted their old friends and classmates, making the restaurant hall very lively.
Compared with more than ten years ago, everyone has undergone tremendous changes.
The people who jumped in the queue at the beginning were all intellectuals with some culture. At the last gathering, everyone had only been back to the city for two years, and most of them were not doing well.
But now, more than ten years later, everyone who comes to the party is dressed neatly and brightly.
If nothing else, there were twenty or thirty cars parked in the parking lot outside the restaurant, all driven by people.
As the organizer, Yang Huajian was naturally the most active person. He kept greeting everyone and then arranged for everyone to sit down.
However, this gathering was obviously very different from the last gathering of educated youth. In the past, everyone would sit wherever they wanted.
But this time, many people purposely found seats to sit down, and everyone's smiles also contained many different meanings.
Zhou Chen, on the other hand, drove over just like the last gathering of educated youths, seeing that it was almost time.
Seven years have passed, and his car has still not been replaced, it is still the same Crown.
I have to admit that the performance of this car is really good. I have driven it for so many years and there are still no problems with its operation.
As soon as he entered the hall, Yang Huajian greeted him.
"Zhou Chen, you always work until the end, just like your brother-in-law Han Chunming. By the way, Han Chunming hasn't come yet. What's going on with him?"
Zhou Chen said: "How do I know his situation and how he is? Are everyone here almost there? When can we start?"
Yang Huajian said: "No, there are still a few people who are not here. You go and sit down first. It's the table in front of the stage. Mao Tutu and Lu Hong are both there."
Zhou Chen walked to the table and found that several people were already sitting at the table, Mao Tutu, Lu Hong, Wu Tianhua, Su Meng, Wang...
"Hey, isn't this Professor Zhou Da? You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Lu Hong, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was very enthusiastic when he saw Zhou Chen. He did not go to sea to do business, but took an official career. Now he has a high level and is an official in a nearby city.
Zhou Chen shook hands with Lu Hong and said, "I'm just a teacher. I can't compare with you. You are so busy. Did you ask for leave today?"
"Yes, of course I have to come to attend such a big gathering of educated youth. I also want to thank you for my sister's incident last time. I asked you to invite you for a drink, but I never had time. I'm really sorry."
Zhou Chen said nonchalantly: "It's a small matter. We are so familiar with each other, so don't worry about it. When will you be transferred back to Yanjing, I'll ask you."
"That's not possible. After all, the Chinese New Year is only a few months away. When I come back this time, we have to get together no matter what."
Although Lu Hong became an official, he did not use official accent on such occasions, not to mention that he was indeed very grateful to Zhou Chen.
A few years ago, Lu Hong's sister failed in her professional courses when she was studying at Peking University. In the end, it was Zhou Chen who helped find a teacher to help her with tutoring, so that she did not fail the course.
In addition, when sister Lu Hong encounters trouble at school, she always asks Zhou Chen for help.
Although the matter was not a big one, Lu Hong always kept it in mind.
Zhou Chen greeted the people around him one by one, but his attitude was not so enthusiastic. Finally, he sat down next to Mao Tutu, and next to him was Wu Tianhua.
As soon as he sat down, Wu Tianhua couldn't wait to ask: "Zhou Chen, how is your research on that piece of land?"
As soon as Wu Tianhua talked about this, Mao Tutu became more energetic and came closer.
"Yes, Zhou Chen, you have been studying it for several days. How do you think it goes? Can you do it?"
Under the expectant gazes of the two people, Zhou Chen slowly said: "I have studied this matter, but let's wait until the party is over and find a time to have a good chat. It's not convenient here."
"Too."
Wu Tianhua had no objection. This was indeed not the place to discuss this matter.
Cheng Jianjun, who was not far from Zhou Chen and the others, heard the three people talking. Although he didn't hear anything specific, he felt that these three people must be discussing something big, so he was inevitably curious.
But he also knew that Zhou Chen and the others didn't have a good impression of him, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, almost all the people had arrived, except for a few who didn't come. Seeing that the time was almost up, Yang Huajian stopped waiting and took the initiative to walk onto the stage.
"Dear friends, buddies, and sisters, good evening to everyone."
"Wait a minute, Yang Huajian, you are wrong. What is popular now is, gentlemen and ladies."
Suddenly, someone interrupted Yang Huajian's rhythm and shouted loudly. The last sentence was in English, which immediately caused everyone to laugh happily.
Yang Huajian was very good at hosting, and he responded with a smile: "Okay, gentlemen and ladies, this time we are all gathered together to hold a gathering of educated youth of our classmates. Our first agenda, please give Mao Mao a map
Introduce everyone here."
Mao Tutu stood up with a smile on his face, waved to everyone, and walked up to the stage in front of the microphone.
But before he could introduce himself, someone suddenly started shouting.
"Hey Mao Map, are you still drawing maps when you go to bed at night?"
Amid the roar of laughter, Mao Tutu laughed and cursed: "After all these years, why are you still exposing my shortcomings?"
Although he is now a big boss with a net worth of over 10 million, his character has not changed much. Instead, he has become more dignified and decent.
"Brother, I have stopped drawing maps for a long time, but my son has inherited my glorious tradition and draws circles at home every day."
After making a few jokes, Mao Tutu's expression became serious.
"Now, let me introduce to you the classmates who came today."
As he said that, he took the lead in pointing his hand towards Zhou Chen's table. Originally, he pointed at Zhou Chen, but the sensitive Zhou Chen immediately shook his head at him.
The two of them had worked together for many years, and he immediately understood Zhou Chen's intention of not wanting to be in the limelight, so he changed his direction and pointed at Yang Huajian.
"First of all, Yang Huajian, chairman of Jiannan Enterprise Group."
Amidst the applause, Yang Huajian stood up and held his hands in front of everyone with a smile on his face.
But there are also many people who are disdainful. As soon as this link comes out, no one understands what it means.
Those who don't care about fame and fortune are fine, but some people who care about fame and fortune but don't get along well are naturally full of contempt and dissatisfaction with this kind of link.
Mao Tu then introduced: "Wu Tianhua, general manager of Zhenchuan Real Estate Co., Ltd."
"Su Meng, executive director of Kaiyuan Real Estate Development Co., Ltd."
Su Meng stood up with a smile on her face. Such an introduction greatly satisfied her vanity.
However, someone was unhappy and shouted: "She didn't jump in line."
Mao Tutu was about to explain, but Yang Huajian stood up first and explained: "Didn't I just tell you that today is a big gathering of educated youth students, and the radish and cabbage are stewed together."
Now that everything has been said, others will naturally have nothing to object to.
On the other hand, Cheng Jianjun, who was sitting at the same table as Zhou Chen and the others, looked at the triumphant Su Meng, curled his lips, and his eyes were full of jealousy.
Originally, he thought that as a section chief in the tax bureau, he was doing well among this group of educated youths, but the introductions from three people in a row just hit him.
Looking at his introduction, he is also the chairman, general manager and executive director.
Look at him again, the head of a small section.
At this moment, he was really jealous, and at the same time he wanted to sew Mao Tutu's mouth shut to stop him from introducing any more, because if he introduced two more people, they would be introduced on his head.
Looking at their table, the only one he can compare to is Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen is also a professor at Peking University, the elder in the family is powerful, his sister is a big boss, and his background is much deeper than him.
I don't know if his prayer had any effect, but just when Mao Tu was about to continue his introduction, a man suddenly walked in from the door of the hall.
"Hey, everyone, look who's here."
Han Chunming, who was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, walked in with a black leather bag under his arm as if he didn't recognize his relatives.
"Han Chunming, you are late again."
Han Chunming said to everyone: "I'm late today, and you really can't punish me. Look who I invited."
Then they saw an old man in his fifties or sixties walking over. It was Yang Shuji who had jumped in line when they had jumped in line.
As soon as they saw Yang Shuji, everyone greeted him enthusiastically, and Han Chunming also re-introduced Yang Shuji to everyone in a timely manner.
Not only was Yang Shuji promoted in his position, he also became the chairman of Xiaoqinghe Agriculture, Industry and Commerce.
Amid the cheers and cheers of the crowd, Yang Shuji walked onto the stage, delivered a speech, and then called on everyone to invest in his company, Xiaoqinghe.
The sudden appearance of Yang Shuji also disrupted Yang Huajian's original plan. Then Mao Tutu did not introduce it again, but notified the waiter to start the meal.
During the dinner, Yang Shuji smiled and asked Zhou Chen: "On the way here, I heard Chunming say that you and him are now a family."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Then what other bad things did he say about me to you?"
Yang Shuji laughed and said, "I didn't say anything bad. Instead, I praised you very much, saying that you are very capable now and are already a professor at Peking University. You are really promising."
"As soon as I see the teaching staff, they are far behind compared to their big bosses."
"Hey, hey, Zhou Chen, how can we harm others if we don't take you with us? What kind of big boss are we in front of you?"
Yang Huajian glared at Zhou Chen. If others didn't know Zhou Chen's details, how could he not know?
Yang Shuji sighed with emotion: "Okay, seeing that each of you is so promising now, I feel very happy, really."
Although these educated youths were not from Xiaoqinghe, they had stayed with them for three years and often interacted with him, so they still had feelings for him.
Halfway through the meal, people began to perform on stage and some danced in the hall.
"Zhou Chen, Su Meng, at the last party, one of you played the piano and the other sang, and you cooperated very well. More than ten years have passed. How about you do it again?"
"That's right, Zhou Chen, Su Meng, let's play a song and let us reminisce."
"Everyone applauds and welcomes."
The crowd's cheers greatly satisfied Su Meng's vanity. She responded to the crowd with a smile and walked onto the stage.
However, Zhou Chen did not stand up. Instead, he said to Han Chunming who was two seats away: "If your sister knows that I play the piano and sing with other women, she may doubt me. You go for me."
The first half of Zhou Chen's sentence made people laugh, but the second half made everyone confused.
Lu Hong couldn't help but said: "Zhou Chen, Han Chunming is your brother-in-law now, you still want to cheat him?"
Yang Huajian smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. Zhou Chen is a great pianist. Maybe Han Chunming secretly became a teacher and learned the skills."
Han Chunming said with a smile on his face, "Everyone asked you to go up. If you let me go up, wouldn't it be against public opinion?"
"Master Min, I created something for you and you know how to do it, but you still force me to do it, can't you get there?"
Zhou Chen's eyes widened, and Han Chunming immediately stood up with a smile: "Go, can't I go?"
When Han Chunming walked next to Su Meng, Su Meng asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"
Han Chunming winked at her provocatively: "You don't know whether I can do it or not?"
"Get lost." Su Meng glared at him in shame, but did not dare to do anything in front of everyone.
A minute later, the melodious sound of the piano and the melodious singing slowly sounded in the hall.
"Oh, yes, Zhou Chen, does this guy Han Chunming really want to be your disciple?"
Several people at the table looked at Zhou Chen. The scene of Zhou Chen playing the piano left such a deep impression on them that they have not forgotten it to this day.
So now that I saw Han Chunming could play the piano easily, I immediately thought it was related to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said: "There is nothing I can do. Who makes this kid so shameless that he insists on learning the piano from me? What else can I do?"
"There's really nothing you can do about it, why would you want a good sister to blow your pillow next to you, right?"
"Hahaha……"
The only person at the table who was not smiling was Cheng Jianjun. Everyone else could remember the scene, and as a person involved, he would naturally not forget it.
That scene back then caused him to lose all face in front of many classmates and educated youths. How could he forget it?
As a result, the look he looked at Han Chunming and Zhou Chen became very sinister.
The lively party lasted for several hours and finally came to an end.
When it was about to end, Yang Huajian suddenly walked up to Zhou Chen and whispered: "Don't leave after it's over. I've left a private room up there for us to talk later."
Zhou Chen said nothing and just nodded. He knew why Yang Huajian was looking for him.
When everyone left, Zhou Chen quietly went to the private room upstairs. After a while, Mao Tutu and Wu Tianhua also came up.
Not long after, Yang Huajian also came up, but what surprised Zhou Chen was that there was another person following Yang Huajian, and it turned out to be Su Meng.
Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows. He knew Yang Huajian's purpose, but what did he mean by bringing Su Meng up? Could it be that Yang Huajian was still planning to bring Su Meng?
Yang Huajian saw that everyone was here, so he said: "Since everyone is here, I will say it directly."
Everyone present, except Su Meng, knew Yang Huajian's purpose in calling them up, so they didn't say anything.
Only Su Meng was confused and asked Yang Huajian: "Yang Huajian, what's going on? What are you going to say?"
