Chapter 1195 Xie Zhiyao’s Request to Give Birth to a Pony

"Where are you going today?"

After the meditation, Zhou Chen asked Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou flexed his hands and feet and replied: "I promised Nana and Xiaochun that I would go to the cafe to help them for a few days and do volunteer work. After resting for so long, my body is getting rusty. It's time to move around."

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "They say I have a hard life. I think you have less time to spare than me. I still know how to enjoy it. You have only had a few days of rest and you are going to volunteer for others. I think You are so hard-working and kind-hearted, why don't you stop looking for a hotel job in the future and come work as an employee for me."

"As your employee, I can only do work related to hotel services. What can I help you with?"

"Do charity. I think you are very suitable for charity. You are beautiful, kind and approachable. You are definitely a good hand in charity." Zhou Chen said sincerely.

Xu Hongdou said in surprise: "Doing charity? Your job is to do charity?"

She heard that Zhou Chen seemed to be an investor and started a company. She really didn't know that Zhou Chen was a charity company. She was very surprised when she heard about it for the first time.

"Why, don't I look like a charity person?" Zhou Chen pointed at himself and asked Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou replied awkwardly: "That's not true, I just feel it's a bit inconsistent, yes, it's inconsistent."

"How about it, do you want to consider following me?"

"Forget it, I still think the hotel service industry is more suitable for me."

Xu Hongdou smiled and declined: "I won't tell you anymore. I went to the cafe to help Nana. Bye."

As soon as Xu Hongdou left, Ma Qiushan came back. When he saw Zhou Chen, he sighed.

"Young people are different. You can't survive it. You can't survive it."

Xu Hongdou only worked in the cafe for a few days before she showed her abilities. As the owner of the cafe, Xie Zhiyao immediately became interested in seeing Xu Hongdou's ability.

So he took advantage of Xu Hongdou's volunteer work for the day to find Xu Hongdou in private and proposed his invitation to Xu Hongdou.

"You said you want to invite me to your place for management?"

Xu Hongdou was puzzled by Xie Zhiyao's invitation. She was just going to be a volunteer, so why did she receive a job invitation?

Xie Zhiyao nodded and said: "Yes, your work efficiency as a volunteer has been very high these days, and the operation of the restaurant is much better than before. I believe you can also see that there are actually no rules in our restaurant. There is basically no operation and efficiency, so I would like to ask you to help us manage our small restaurant and improve the working efficiency of the small restaurant."

But Xu Hongdou shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xie, I'm here to rest and relax. It's okay to be a volunteer at Dangdang, but if you ask me to help with management and go back to work, I really don't have the energy, so I help I can’t help you.”

Seeing Xu Hongdou's refusal, Xie Zhiyao hurriedly said: "Xu Hongdou, I invite you very sincerely. Please do us this favor, because there are no talents in this field in our village. If you are willing to help me, I can make the decision. The fee for the small courtyard will be fully refunded. Your three meals a day will be covered by the cafe. If you don’t want to eat in the cafe, you can go to our house. Grandma and I will cook to make what you want. food."

He already had a good impression of Xu Hongdou, and now he saw Xu Hongdou's ability, so he eagerly wanted to ask Xu Hongdou for help and wanted to spend more time with Xu Hongdou.

Although he saw that Zhou Chen also had a crush on Xu Hongdou, things like love were inherently competition, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.

Unfortunately, after hearing what he said, Xu Hongdou still shook his head and refused.

"Mr. Xie, I'm very happy that you value me. But if you can be a volunteer and go out in person, forget it. As for eating, I won't bother you and Xie A'nai. I'm not picky about what I eat. As long as I As long as you can eat enough.”

"How about you think about it again? I'm not inviting you to work, but to help you manage it. It won't take you long."

Facing Xie Zhiyao's kind invitation, Xu Hongdou still shook his head firmly.

"Mr. Xie, it's really not possible."

"Just think of it as doing a favor to a friend, right?"

Xu Hongdou said: "I refused just because we are friends. After all, there are a lot of troubles at work. It doesn't matter if you do well or not. It would be bad if it hurts the friendship between friends."

Having already mentioned this, Xie Zhiyao could only smile bitterly.

"Okay, it seems I'm overthinking it. You're here to have fun, so you shouldn't add to the burden. If that doesn't work, I can only ask Zhou Chen for help. He must have experience in managing such a large company."

Xu Hongdou asked in surprise: "Are you going to ask Zhou Chen for help?"

"Yes, although there is little hope, I still have to give it a try. It just so happens that I also have something to ask him for help with, just by the way."

After Xie Zhiyao found Zhou Chen and explained his purpose, Zhou Chen was immediately surprised.

Especially when I learned that Xie Zhiyao was rejected by Xu Hongdou and then asked for him, I was even more surprised.

In the TV plot, Xu Hongdou agreed to Xie Zhiyao's request, but it was because the two of them got along well and had a good impression of each other that they were convinced by him.

But now that he has appeared, Xie Zhiyao and Xu Hongdou have few opportunities to be alone together. Xu Hongdou has no special affection for Xie Zhiyao, so it is reasonable not to agree to Xie Zhiyao's request.

It's just that Xie Zhiyao asked him for help, which was really beyond his expectation.

“Mr. But all those who are disobedient will be given a prescription, and the obedient ones will be left alone. Can you accept this method?"

Xie Zhiyao looked at Zhou Chen dumbfounded: "Is this how you manage the company?"

"Otherwise? As the boss and chairman, the most important thing for me is to control the general direction and decision-making power, instead of fussing over trivial matters. Professional things should be done by professional people, and you can't just manage them casually. I, the boss, have to take matters into my own hands, right?"

In fact, Zhou Chen is naturally good at managing employees, but the situation in these cafes, online stores, etc. under Xie Zhiyao's name is different. Xie Zhiyao's employees are all sophisticated and are elders in the same village, so naturally they cannot follow his instructions. management methods.

Don't look at the TV plot. After Xu Hongdou took action, there was improvement, but the actual situation is that as long as Xu Hongdou leaves soon, those store management will eventually become the same as before, because Xie Zhiyao is not a ruthless person at all. The boss, the elders of the employees in the village are not fuel-efficient either.

Zhou Chen didn't want to cause trouble, so naturally he didn't bother to take care of these things.

Xie Zhiyao looked helpless: "Okay, your management method is not suitable for me here. By the way, I have one more thing I want to ask you for help. It's a matter for Uncle Heshun."

"The sale of the woodcarving workshop?"

"You are worthy of being a big boss. You can guess right. I think you are very successful in the Magic City. You have made hundreds of millions of donations to charity. You must have a wide range of people. Do you think you can help Uncle Heshun's wood carving workshop?" Advertise and get some business?"

Xie Zhiyao knows that Zhou Chen is very rich. After all, Zhou Chen has spent tens of millions just on charity. This means that Zhou Chen's net worth has at least doubled on this basis. He is rich and runs a venture capital company. That must be a wide range of people.

Zhou Chen pondered: "To be honest, it's definitely okay to help, but you have to understand that even if I help, it can only help for a while, not for a lifetime; I have also learned wood carving now. To be honest, technology is very advanced now." In developed countries, crafts such as wood carving and machine carving are already very advanced. Unless they are some knowledgeable people who like manual wood carving, others will not care whether it is human carving or machine carving."

"Of course I understand this truth, but wood carving is a traditional craft after all, and Uncle Heshun is a state-level intangible cultural heritage inheritor. If our village wants to develop into a tourist destination in the future, the wood carving workshop will definitely be indispensable, so I definitely hope that the wood carving workshop can Drive on like a charm."

"Let's do this. I'll introduce a few friends and ask them to customize some. I'll also customize some for my company. However, I can't be the one to take part in this matter. It's up to you. Let's just say that you brought the business."

When Xie Zhiyao heard this, he immediately said anxiously: "How can this happen? It's your help, how can you let me accept this favor?"

Zhou Chen didn't give him a chance to refuse, and said directly: "That's it."

After completing one of the two things, it was already up to the standard for him, so Xie Zhiyao was satisfied and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he asked Zhou Chen again.

"I remember that you seem to be very familiar with horses. There is a horse in our horse farm that is expected to give birth in the next few days. Are you interested in going over and taking a look?"

"Having a pony?"

Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said: "Okay, it's okay anyway, so let's go over and take a look."

In the evening, Xu Hongdou and Damai cooked a meal and specially asked Zhou Chen to come over to eat with them.

"Eating rice noodles again, you always eat like this, don't you feel tired?"

Damai shook his head: "No, I think it's pretty good."

Xu Hongdou also said: "I think it's pretty good too. It's fast and convenient. It's not much better than instant noodles."

Zhou Chen looked helpless: "Your requirements are really low enough."

This is also the disadvantage of rural areas. The variety of food is very scarce. Unlike in the city, you can find restaurants for whatever you want. Even if you can't find it nearby, you can drive for an hour to find the corresponding restaurant.

Although Zhou Chen is not too picky about food and can eat both good and bad food, he would definitely like to eat more sumptuously if possible.

"Zhou Chen, Xie Zhiyao is looking for you today."

"Well, I did. I told him about the management of his small restaurant, but I rejected him. I heard that he also approached you, and you rejected him too?"

Xu Hongdou nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here for a vacation. It's okay to be a volunteer for a few days. Let me manage it. I really don't have the time and energy, so I refused."

Zhou Chen said: "Actually, if Xie Zhiyao wants to, he has the ability to do it himself, but his few businesses are all recruited from people in the village. It's not easy for him to do it himself, so he comes to us and doesn't get involved too much." And is right, thankless."

Xu Hongdou smiled and said, "I think so too."

"Xie Zhiyao told me that there is a horse in his racecourse that is about to give birth. Call me when the time comes. Do you want to go and see it with me?"

"Having a pony?"

Xu Hongdou and Damai both showed interested looks.

Damai asked with some fear: "Isn't the process of giving birth to a pony scary?"

Zhou Chen said: "It should be okay, it's not scary, but seeing the birth of a new life from beginning to end may be an unforgettable memory. Aren't you a writer of novels? I think it might be able to inspire you."

"real or fake?"

Damai became even more interested, her mind was wide open, she thought for a while, and then nodded vigorously.

"Okay, call me when the time comes and we'll go see it together."

Xu Hongdou also responded: "I'll go too. I've seen puppies being born before at my grandma's house in the countryside, but I've never seen a pony being born."

"Okay, I'll call you when the time comes and we'll go watch it together."

Xie Zhiyao said it was a few days, but on the afternoon of the next day, he called and said the horse was about to give birth.

So Zhou Chen called Xu Hongdou and Damai respectively, and went to the racecourse together.

In front of the stable, Xu Hongdou and Damai were lying on the fence, looking at the mare swaying with a big belly, and they were extremely excited.

"Hongdou, look at its belly, it's really big."

"Yeah, Damai, take out your phone later and let's record it together. This is a rare scene."

Xie Zhiyao, who was sitting on the sofa not far away, looked at the two girls in high spirits and asked Zhou Chen, "Why did you bring them all?"

"It's just giving birth to a pony. It's not a shameful thing. Why can't we invite them here? It can be regarded as letting them experience it. They will have to experience it sooner or later in the future." Zhou Chen said calmly while drinking tea.

Xie Zhiyao: "No, why are these words so strange when they come out of your mouth?"

While talking, Xu Hongdou and Damai suddenly exclaimed.

"Come and see if you're going to give birth?"

Zhou Chen and Xie Zhiyao immediately stood up and walked over without thinking about talking. Zhou Chen only glanced at her for a few times before saying with certainty: "It's time to give birth."

Xie Zhiyao asked strangely: "Do you understand this?"

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

The mare soon began to stir and a difficult labor began.

Xu Hongdou and Damai both took out their mobile phones to record the video, while Zhou Chen and others stood aside and watched.

This process lasted for a long time, and finally the mare gave birth to a foal smoothly. The foal slowly stood up under the comfort of the mare.

Xu Hongdou and Damai are both girls and relatively emotional. When they saw this scene, they were moved to tears.

Even on the way back, Damai kept crying.

"I'm so touched. Mares are really great. Sure enough, the greatest thing in the world is maternal love."

Damai wiped her tears and sobbed: "In my future novels, there must be such great maternal love."

Xu Hongdou held her arm and comforted her: "Okay, don't cry anymore."

Xu Hongdou and Damai were obviously deeply moved by the mare's birth today. After returning to the courtyard, the two went to talk to Nana.

A few days later, Xu Hongdou suddenly found Zhou Chen and said he wanted to borrow a car.

"Borrow a car, do you want to go to the ancient city?"

Xu Hongdou said: "I'm going to the ancient city, but I'm not the only one. Let me tell you secretly that in a few days it will be Damai's birthday. I made an agreement with Nana to go to the ancient city to celebrate her birthday, so I wanted to borrow it from you. car."

At this point, she suddenly came to her senses and asked, "Zhou Chen, do you want to come with us to celebrate Damai's birthday?"
