Chapter 73: The invitation comes true, killing potential threats
"Resign, you want to resign?"
On the first day of work after the new year, Zhou Chen handed in his resignation report, which surprised many people.
The Civil Affairs Bureau is a national administrative unit, and Zhou Chen is a solid civil servant. He is not very young, so he has a great chance of being promoted in the future.
Now he actually wants to resign with a bright future ahead of him. Many people can't understand Zhou Chen's thoughts.
Especially as Sure enough, who had become familiar with Zhou Chen some time ago, he went to Zhou Chen directly and asked his doubts.
Zhou Chen smiled and replied: "Brother Ran, we will have dinner together when you get off work later, and then we will talk slowly. Now I will go through the resignation procedures."
When they learned that Zhou Chen really wanted to resign, the superiors went to Zhou Chen to talk to him in detail. After all, this is a regular department, not a small workshop. Even if you resign, no one will care.
But Zhou Chen's attitude is very firm. If in the real world, he could work in such a department and eat public food, maybe he would seriously consider it. But in this world, he only has one year, so naturally he is not willing to waste time here.
.
The most important thing is that if he continues to work in the Civil Affairs Bureau, he will not be able to do business.
In the evening, Zhou Chen invited Guo Ran to have dinner with him. The two of them drank wine and ate food, and soon started chatting.
"Xiao Zhou, didn't you do a good job in the Civil Affairs Bureau? Why are you thinking of resigning?"
After holding it in for a day, he still couldn't figure it out. In his opinion, although the affairs of the Civil Affairs Bureau were trivial, it was indeed a promising job, especially for a relatively young person like Zhou Chen, who was squeezed out by others.
If you can't even get in, why would Zhou Chen resign instead?
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Brother Ran, it's just the two of us today. Let me tell you the truth. In fact, I am a rich second generation."
"Hahaha……"
Sure enough, when he heard it, he burst into laughter: "Xiao Zhou, forget it, you are still a rich second generation. I have read your file. Uh, Xiao Zhou, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that."
Halfway through, I suddenly remembered that Zhou Chen's file stated that his parents were both deceased.
Zhou Chen: "It's okay, Brother Ran. I really have no relatives and friends now, but I have been investing in these years and have made a lot of money. I am going to resign and do something on my own."
"Really making a lot of money?" As expected, he looked suspicious: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Wedding dress shop."
"Bridal shop?"
Sure enough, his eyes widened: "Are you a big man going to run a bridal shop?"
Zhou Chen said: "Why can't men run bridal shops? Today's couples are very willing to spend a lot of money to get married. This industry is still very profitable. By the way, Brother Ran, I heard from my colleagues that you like photography very much, and
My photography skills are very good. How about you become a videographer before I open a bridal shop? Just take wedding photos or something like that."
"That said, it seems to make some sense."
Sure enough, he scratched his head. He was currently taking photos for his friends, but they were all about small animals. If he could really take wedding photos, it would definitely be much more professional than taking photos of kittens and puppies, and it would also be better.
his technology.
"No, no, I'm talking about your resignation now. How come it's all about me?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Brother Ran, I just want to mention it to you. Besides, my store hasn't been opened yet. I just have this intention. But Brother Ran, you know a lot of people. If I really want to open a store,
If so, I’m afraid many procedures won’t be completed, can you please help me?”
Sure enough, he patted his chest and said, "That's no problem. As long as I can help, I will definitely help."
"Thank you very much, Brother Ran. When my store opens, you must put your name in my store. When there is a shortage of photographers, you must come to help. I will definitely not treat you badly, little brother."
"It's OK to help, but it doesn't matter if it's money or not. Just think of it as a favor to a buddy."
Sure enough, he really didn't care. He took pictures because he liked it. If his old mother hadn't been so tough, he wouldn't have taken the civil service exam. His dream was to be an excellent photographer. If he could really help
He would definitely be willing to take wedding photos and the like as long as he is free.
After getting along with Guo Ran for nearly two months, Zhou Chen also got to know Guo Ran's character, which is very loyal. This is why he is willing to date Guo Ran.
Of course, there is another reason. He is going to pursue Yang Tao, and of course he has to kill his biggest competitor in advance. As long as they have a good relationship, with his character, he will never do anything to hurt his friends.
Maybe he was overthinking it, but in order to complete the mission, he still had to make preparations.
As for why he opened a bridal shop, Zhou Chen considered it carefully. He remembered that Yang Tao in the drama liked wedding dresses very much and his dream was to have his own bridal shop.
Although pursuing Yang Tao was to complete a task, Zhou Chen still wanted to take it seriously and make preparations in advance.
If he leaves in a year and has no chance to come back, leaving Yang Tao with his own bridal shop can be regarded as compensation. Even if the compensation is not that great, he can only do
to this extent.
Xue Sumei started to work on her daughter's affairs after the New Year, because she had already retired and had nothing to do at home. For her, her daughter's marriage is now a big deal and she doesn't have to do anything, but her daughter's marriage must be put first
Bit.
In order to find a partner for her daughter, she looked for connections everywhere. She was also listed on various blind date websites, and she also went to many blind date events organized by local places.
But after working hard for so many days, she still got nothing. She arranged for a few men to go on a blind date with Yang Tao, but nothing happened after it was revealed. This made her angry all over, and she yelled at Yang Tao several times on the phone, which was frightening.
The star fruits are too afraid to go home for dinner.
On this day, after Xue Sumei had eaten in the morning, she was ready to go out to discuss her daughter's affairs, but before she could go out, her cell phone rang.
"Hello, hello, who are you?"
"Oh, Mr. Zhou..., really? No problem, no problem, where to meet, then..."
"Okay, okay."
Xue Sumei hung up the phone, her face beaming with joy. It turned out that the person who just called her was someone who wanted to go on a blind date with his daughter, and also invited her to meet.
Although it was a bit inappropriate for the other party to invite her to meet, Xue Sumei didn't think there was anything wrong, because in the past, for the sake of her daughter, she would sometimes go to meet her daughter's blind date in advance as a check on her daughter.
So she didn't think there was any problem with the request to meet over the phone. She went back to the room and tidied up for a while before taking her bag and going out.
Zhou Chen drove to the tea restaurant. Because it was morning, there was no one in the tea restaurant. Zhou Chen saw an elderly woman sitting at the dining table by the glass at a glance, so he quickly walked over.
"Is this Aunt Xue?"
Xue Sumei was sitting and looking at her mobile phone when she suddenly heard a male voice. She looked up and immediately asked enthusiastically: "Is it Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Chen immediately said: "Aunt Xue, I am Zhou Chen, you can just call me Xiao Zhou."
He was the one who called Xue Sumei before. He thought that if he wanted to chase Yang Tao, he would first take down Xue Sumei, Xue Sumei's mother. In that case, it would be much easier to chase Yang Tao.
However, he also knew that Xue Sumei, Yang Tao's mother, was a relatively powerful master, so before coming, he made a lot of preparations and should have a chance to successfully persuade her.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Zhou, sit down."
Staring at Zhou Chen, Xue Sumei's face was filled with a smile. Before seeing Zhou Chen, she was a little worried.
But now after meeting the real person, she was completely relieved, because Zhou Chen looked very young, and both his height and appearance were good.
"Thank you, auntie."
Zhou Chen sat down opposite Xue Sumei, and then said apologetically: "Aunt Xue, I'm really presumptuous in asking you to meet today. However, I also read your daughter's information and thought it was very good, so I was a little anxious. It's just me.
I don’t know any more, so I can only call you. Please forgive me.”
"It's okay, Xiao Zhou."
Hearing Zhou Chen praise her daughter for her excellence, Xue Sumei smiled broadly, and the more she looked at Zhou Chen, the more pleasing she became.
"Aunt Xue, what do you want to drink? I'll give you some."
"No, no, I've already ordered a cup of tea, but I don't know what you like to drink, so I didn't order it for you."
"It's okay, Aunt Xue, I'll do it myself."
Zhou Chen asked the waiter to serve two more cups of tea and some snacks, and then started chatting with Xue Sumei.
