Hearing this voice, Lin Zichen and Huo Qing turned their heads at the same time, and saw Zhou Xiaotong standing behind them with a smile, but although he was smiling, there was clearly a hint of helplessness in his smile.
"Xiaotong? You haven't gotten off work yet?" Lin Zichen asked.
Zhou Xiaotong shook his head: "I just finished the quarterly statements with the finance department. These have to be reported, so I worked overtime."
Lin Zichen stepped forward and said: "Haha, thank you for your hard work. Do you often work overtime?"
"It's okay. I used to work overtime every day, but now that every aspect of the company is on track, I don't need to anymore. I just ask them to work overtime when there is an emergency, but everyone is very cooperative and there are no complaints."
Hearing this, Lin Zichen nodded: "Yes, you have run the company well, and everyone's treatment has improved, so there will be no complaints. By the way, Xiaotong, are those Feng Zhenmen disciples doing well?"
Zhou Xiaotong nodded and smiled: "Fortunately, they are now talking about the main force in pharmaceuticals, but they usually stay at the pharmaceutical factory and rarely come to the company. Why, do you want to meet them?"
Lin Zichen was stunned. He clearly felt a trace of complaint from Zhou Xiaotong's words. He said: "Xiaotong, what's wrong with you? Do you blame me for not seeing you for so long?"
In fact, Lin Zichen also knew that during this period, his thoughts were almost all on Lan Luoshi. Even if he came to Tianzhou, he would stay with Huang Yiwen for one night and then leave. As for Zhou Xiaotong, he had not seen him for several months.
Zhou Xiaotong lowered his head slightly and was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "No, I'm used to it. By the way, Zichen, why did you come back suddenly?"
"Haha, I may have to leave Tianzhou for a while, so I plan to come and see the situation in Long Chuan. With you here, I feel relieved."
Zhou Xiaotong pursed her lips and smiled, feeling a little helpless.
Are you relieved as long as I'm here? Then how can you put your mind at ease with me? You promised me that I would be your woman, Zichen, but you have forgotten it a long time ago, right? Haha, I'm so stupid, how could I put this sentence
Take your words to heart? Zhou Xiaotong, who do you think you are...
Thinking about it, Zhou Xiaotong's eyes became moist. Maybe she was usually a shrewd and capable female boss in the eyes of Long Chuan Pharmaceutical employees, but in front of Lin Zichen, she couldn't hide the deepest vulnerability in her heart. She was still the same person she once was.
The little nurse in front of Lin Zichen, a little woman looking forward to being noticed by her loved ones...
Seeing Zhou Xiaotong's tears, Lin Zichen panicked and said, "Xiaotong, why are you...crying? Don't cry. Did something happen to you?"
Zhou Xiaotong wiped away her tears, forced a smile and shook her head: "It's okay, haha, it's rare for you to come back, can I treat you to dinner?"
"Okay, hehe, we haven't had dinner together for a long time."
The three of them were about to walk out when Sun Zhuang walked in. When he saw Lin Zichen and Huo Qing, he showed excitement and said: "Boss? Boss's boss? Why are you back?"
Huo Qing frowned: "What the hell, the names are so confusing, why haven't you got off work yet, Sun Zhuang?"
"Our security department leaves late every day. President Zhou said that all areas should be inspected and records should be made before leaving get off work," Sun Zhuang said.
Lin Zichen looked at Zhou Xiaotong, nodded and smiled: "Xiaotong, you are so attentive."
"It should be." Zhou Xiaotong pursed her lips and said.
"Then... shall we come together, Da Zhuang? We are about to go to dinner." Huo Qing said.
"Okay, Boss Huo, I haven't had a drink with you for a long time. Haha, let's punch each other today." Sun Zhuang said with a smile. He was also a veteran, so he had a more bold personality. In addition, Huo Qing personally brought him here.
, the relationship is naturally good.
"Don't talk nonsense. It turns out that I seem to drink with you all the time."
"Isn't it? So don't we drink every day? You also said that drinking is not a problem, but you will fall asleep if you don't drink."
Lin Zichen glared at Huo Qing, who immediately blushed and lowered his head, not forgetting to glare at Sun Zhuang.
Zhou Xiaotong smiled: "Okay, let's go to the food stall in Fish Street. There is a grilled fish restaurant there that is very popular now."
Lin Zichen nodded and said, "Okay, let Mr. Zhou arrange it!"
Later, Zhou Xiaotong asked Sun Zhuang to drive, and they went straight to the food stall on Fish Street in the west of the city. This was not a high-end place in Tianzhou, but Zhou Xiaotong was not originally from a noble family. Even though he was now the boss of Long Chuan, in addition to necessary social activities
, she still prefers this down-to-earth dining place.
After ordering some barbecue, a piece of grilled fish, a few cold dishes, and a few large beers, Huo Qing immediately showed his true colors and started fistfighting with Sun Zhuang.
Lin Zichen smiled: "Actually, maybe I should let Huo Qingduo hang out with these brothers sometimes. He likes to be lively."
"Haha, I really miss the time when we first started practicing medicine. At that time, we were like a family. No matter how much we fought, it was always lively, and we never blushed. Instead, we were very warm." Zhou Xiaotong took a sip of beer and said.
Lin Zichen said: "Huh? Haha, isn't it warm now?"
Zhou Xiaotong showed a little loneliness and said: "Now... as the company has grown bigger, many things have become formal. Now the new young people who join the company are all undergraduates or graduate students. They are of good quality, efficient and mature."
, but it seems that it just lacks the feeling it had before.”
Lin Zichen nodded and said with a smile: "Yeah, sometimes rough people tend to give people a kind feeling, but you won't be lonely with Sun Zhuang here, this kid can't stop talking, haha.
"
Hearing this, Sun Zhuang laughed and said: "Haha, boss's boss, you are wrong. I don't dare to talk nonsense when I go to work. Mr. Zhou is in charge of us. If anyone doesn't work hard and makes loud noises in the office building,
Half a year’s salary will be deducted.”
"Ah? Half a year?" Lin Zichen couldn't help but burst out laughing, "This is too exaggerated, Xiaotong, you are so cruel."
"You can't be ruthless. You have to be ruthless with these guys. Do you know how much they go too far? Last year, the security department was engaged in technical defense construction and needed some high-end talents to operate the system. I recruited two undergraduate graduates. They were called bullies.
Newcomer." Zhou Xiaotong said.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Sun Zhuang, you are promising." Lin Zichen said.
Sun Zhuang scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hey, Mr. Zhou, haven't we all changed? Why are you exposing my old background?"
Everyone laughed, and Huo Qing said: "I should deduct a year's salary from you, let you work for nothing, and bully others. Who taught you?"
Zhou Xiaotong said: "Our captain Sun Zhuang is very promising. He knew that I would take care of it, so he didn't dare to come in the open. Instead, he put coagulant in someone else's water cup. As soon as he drank the water, he realized that all the water in the cup turned to ice.
It’s a piece of cake.”
Lin Zichen couldn't help but laugh and said: "Haha, this guy deserves to be punished. Is he going to complain to you?"
"No, their children are more sensible. Later I found out that I had to punish a few of them, but they still begged for mercy. Now that I am the security manager of Long Chuan, I feel more at ease in doing things." Zhou Xiaotong said.
Lin Zichen smiled and nodded: "Xiaotong, I can rest assured that you can run Long Chuan so well. You have paid attention to every aspect, taken care of guys like Sun Zhuang, and retained talents at the same time. I am grateful.
you."
Looking at Lin Zichen's sincere eyes, Zhou Xiaotong was a little afraid to look directly at her. She turned her head and said: "Thank you for everything, it's all my duty. Don't forget that I am the chairman of Long Chuan."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhou, I forgot in the moment of excitement, haha, let me toast you." Lin Zichen raised his glass and said.
Sun Zhuang said: "Mr. Zhou is right, we recognize Mr. Zhou now, the boss of the boss, you are out of date!"
"Haha, yes, I'm out of date. From now on, you must listen to Mr. Zhou's words carefully, do you hear me? Otherwise, I can deduct half a year's salary from you!" Lin Zichen said with a smile.
Sun Zhuang stood up directly and gave a standard military salute: "Yes, the boss's boss!"
Several people laughed, which seemed to resolve the unknown embarrassment in Zhou Xiaotong's heart.
"By the way, Mr. Zhou, that Mr. Long hasn't come here these two days," Sun Zhuang turned around and said, "He used to come to our Long Chuan every day to report."
"Sun Zhuang, what are you talking about? Have you drunk too much?" Zhou Xiaotong glared at Sun Zhuang, and the chairman's majesty immediately appeared.
Lin Zichen frowned slightly: "Huh? What is Mr. Long? Xiaotong, what's going on?"
Zhou Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Zichen as if she felt guilty, and quickly turned her head away: "No...it's nothing, Zichen, Sun Zhuang drank too much, don't listen to his nonsense."
"Drink too much?" Lin Zichen smiled and looked at Sun Zhuang, "Sun Zhuang, tell me, what's going on with Young Master Long? If you can't tell me, get out of Dragon Legend tomorrow!"
"This..." Of course Sun Zhuang knew that Lin Zichen was the real head of the family. Although he realized that he had said the wrong thing, it seemed that it was too late to change it. "That's... it's Mr. Long from Long's Pharmaceuticals. Recently...
…I often come to Longchuan to talk about cooperation, yes, I want to cooperate with us.”
Lin Zichen was silent for a while and said, "Xiaotong, come with me."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to a deserted place. Zhou Xiaotong glared at Sun Zhuang fiercely, then stood up and walked over. Sun Zhuang looked helpless and curled his lips: "Boss, did I say the wrong thing?"
"Ah? Haha, no, Sun Zhuang, you have to remember that the boss's boss is your boss, and you must not hide anything from her!"
"The boss's boss is my boss? It's so confusing..." Sun Zhuang had drunk a little too much, and he clapped his fingers, confused and didn't understand.
Huo Qing took a breath: "Hey, in fact, the most important thing to learn from Master is that he is always surrounded by beautiful women, but...it seems that I can't learn this."
In the open space next to the food stall, Lin Zichen asked: "Xiaotong, what's going on?"
Zhou Xiaotong lowered his head and said, "Didn't Sun Zhuang say everything..."
"Haha, are you talking about cooperation? How can someone who talks about cooperation make you so hesitant? Who is that Mr. Long?" Lin Zichen asked.
Zhou Xiaotong was silent for a while, then raised his head and said: "Yes, you guessed it right, it's not just about cooperation, he is my suitor, how about it?"
"You..." Although Lin Zichen guessed a little, his heart was still shaken. He took a deep breath and said, "Suitor? Huh, I don't agree!"
