Chapter 1659 Tong Xiaoqi's Hostility, Goodbye Xu Banxia

After confirming the location, Zhou Chen drove to the door of Xu Banxia's Banxia Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.

Looking at the two-story building in front of me, it also has a large yard. It should have been a small factory or a dormitory for employees. It looks like it has some history. Even the walls are old and peeling. Look. It's hard to believe that this is a legitimate company.

After a brief look, Zhou Chen knew why Xu Banxia chose this place. Firstly, although it was dilapidated, it was big enough for them to place scrap steel, and it was also convenient for cars to get in and out. Secondly, it should be It’s just that the rent here is cheap. In a place like this, the houses are very dilapidated and the rent doesn’t cost much.

Zhou Chen drove the car into the courtyard and saw no one, so he honked the horn. Soon, someone appeared from the second floor.

"Who?"

Zhou Chen got off the car and looked up towards the second floor. One of the two men he had seen before was Tong Xiaoqi.

"I am your friend, Mr. Xu, and I came to see Mr. Xu."

Tong Xiaoqi took a closer look and recognized Zhou Chen, and murmured unhappily: "Why is he here?"

Chen Yuyu heard Tong Xiaoqi's muttering and asked curiously: "What? Do you know him? Is he really the fat man's friend?"

"I met him at the steel trade fair a few days ago. I helped the boss, but I don't think this guy is a good person."

Chen Yuyu looked at Tong Xiaoqi with suspicion, feeling that he didn't mean what he said: "Really or not?"

Tong Xiaoqi didn't answer, just said: "Let's go down and meet him."

Chen Yuyu followed immediately.

Tong Xiaoqi walked quickly to Zhou Chen and asked in a bad tone: "How did you find this place?"

Zhou Chen didn't care about Tong Xiaoqi's tone, but said calmly: "I'm here to see Mr. Xu. I remember you. Last time you were with her, you called me Xiaotong, right?"

Tong Xiaoqi shouted dissatisfied: "You called me little boy too?"

Chen Yuyu couldn't figure out Zhou Chen's details, but seeing Tong Xiaoqi's bad attitude, he hurriedly walked between the two of them and asked Zhou Chen with a smile: "Hello, I am Chen Yuyu, the vice president of Banxia Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. You're looking for Mr. Xu, she's out for something, what do you want to do with her?"

Zhou Chen stretched out his hand to shake Chen Yuyu's hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen. My name is Zhou Chen. Mr. Xu and I met at the last Luzhou Steel Fair. We had a good chat and she even invited me. Come and have a look at your place, no, I came to Binhai recently and just wanted to come to your place to have a look and meet Mr. Xu."

"Oh, really, that's really unlucky. Mr. Xu has gone out to do some errands, and she probably won't be back until evening, don't you think?" Chen Yuyu said very politely.

Chen Yuyu and Xu Banxia have been doing business together for many years. He is the most popular person, so he is polite to everyone. He can't figure out Zhou Chen's details. Of course, he will not be as rude as Tong Xiaoqi.

Zhou Chen glanced at Tong Xiaoqi, who was staring at him with vigilant and unhappy eyes, and said, "I happen to be in no hurry. Since Mr. Xu is not here, I will wait for her here and take a look at your company, okay? "

"Of course not."

Tong Xiaoqi reflexively wanted to refuse, but Chen Yuyu held him back and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, my brother has a bad temper. Don't mind, of course you can stay and wait." , By the way, Mr. Zhou also gave us some advice.”

They collect scrap steel here and have no technical content, so they are not afraid of people wandering around.

Moreover, he knew that Zhou Chen had also participated in the trade fair, and he thought that Zhou Chen was also in the steel industry, so he didn't want to offend him, and maybe they could cooperate in the future.

"Mr. Zhou, let's go to the office and sit for a while."

Chen Yuyu took Zhou Chen to the office on the second floor and poured Zhou Chen a glass of water.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, our conditions here are limited, don't dislike it."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhou Chen smiled and didn't care, and then started chatting with Chen Yuzhou. Chen Yuzhou was also a good talker, so even though it was the first time they met, the atmosphere was not awkward.

After chatting for a while, Chen Yuyu saw Tong Xiaoqi staring at Zhou Chen like a thief, so he made an excuse and pulled Tong Xiaoqi outside.

"Tong Xiaoqi, what's the matter with you? I think this Mr. Zhou is very easy to talk to and very dignified. He should not be an ordinary person. Why do you treat him like that? His nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes. Has he offended you? "

Tong Xiaoqi said in a firm tone: "He didn't offend me. I just think he's pretending and I don't like him."

In fact, the fundamental reason was that he found that Xu Banxia's attitude towards Zhou Chen was unusual that day, and he felt unhappy. When he saw her again, that emotion did not dissipate.

Chen Yuyu said angrily: "When you talk about pretending, I think you are pretending even more. They are much more polite than you. Don't make a bad face. If you don't like it, just go and have fun."

Zhou Chen did not wait until night, but Xu Banxia came back more than an hour later.

"Mr. Zhou, you really came to Binhai. I thought you were joking with me last time."

Xu Banxia was wearing a set of brown clothes and a black turtleneck today. She greeted Zhou Chen very warmly with a smile on her face. After she and Zhou Chen separated last time, she really didn't expect Zhou Chen to come to Binhai to find her, so when she met Zhou Chen was very surprised when he arrived.

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "I always keep my word. I heard that the development here in Binhai is very good and there are many opportunities, so I came over to investigate. I thought your company was here, so I came to take a look. I didn't bother Mr. Xu. Is it serious business?”

"No, no."

Today, Xu Banxia was very worried about going to the north to buy scrap steel quotas, but when she saw Zhou Chen, she did not show any negative emotions and chatted with Zhou Chen very warmly and familiarly.

Dinner time was approaching, Xu Banxia invited Zhou Chen to have dinner together, and Zhou Chen did not refuse. She also wanted to invite Tong Xiaoqi and Chen Yuzhou, but Tong Xiaoqi said he would not go. Chen Yuzhou knew that he was in a bad mood, so he also said he would not go and stayed to accompany Tong Xiaoqi.

Xu Banxia did not care, so she drove out with Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen drove, and under Xu Banxia's command, they came to a restaurant not far from her company.

"Mr. Zhou, I just heard you say that you came to Binhai for an inspection. What kind of business are you planning to do in Binhai? Is it related to the steel industry?"

"Not sure yet. The main reason is that I am lazy and don't like to spend all my time on starting a business and making money. So compared to working for others or starting my own company, I prefer to invest."

"Invest?"

Xu Banxia looked surprised. She was also a college graduate from a regular university, so of course she understood what investment meant.

"What projects are you looking at now, Mr. Zhou?"

"I haven't decided yet. Mr. Xu has been in Binhai for so many years. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Mr. Zhou is joking. I am just a scrap steel collector. At most, I know a little about the situation in the steel industry. I know nothing about the investment you mentioned, so I can't make any suggestions."

Zhou Chen changed the subject and said, "I think Mr. Xu's company is developing quite well."

Xu Banxia immediately laughed: "Mr. Zhou, don't bury me. I am just a scrap steel collector. Starting a company just sounds good. In fact, I earn hard-earned money. It's no exaggeration to say that there is not much difference between collecting scrap steel and collecting waste."

Zhou Chen said: "You can't say that. Didn't the big bosses now start from the simplest small business? Most of them may not be as good as those who collect waste. Although your company is small now, I think with your courage, Mr. Xu, you will become a big thing in the future."

"Haha, Mr. Zhou, how can you tell that I have courage?" Xu Banxia was amused by Zhou Chen.

"That night, you, a woman, drank two bottles of liquor for business. You were already risking your life. Isn't that courageous enough?"

"I'm not courageous. At best, I'm just stupid."

Xu Banxia's tone was low. If she wasn't doing business to make money, how could she drink so much? She also knew that if she did this, others would laugh at her behind her back, but Zhou Chen actually said that her behavior was courageous.

Zhou Chen said: "To do business, sometimes you need this kind of energy. Mr. Xu, although we have only met twice, I really think you are very courageous and will definitely succeed in the future."

Xu Banxia immediately picked up the beer happily and clinked it with Zhou Chen.

"Just for what you said, I'll drink one."

"You've only come to Binhai recently. If you come again in a while, you may not be able to find me."

"What do you mean?"

Xu Banxia said: "In a while, I will go to the north. It may take one or two months, or even longer."

Zhou Chen asked: "Are you going there to buy steel?"

Xu Banxia was shocked by what he said: "How did you know?"

Zhou Chen smiled and explained: "I went to college abroad. Do you know what major I studied? International trade, as soon as you mentioned the north, I knew what it was like."

"The north used to be a heavy industrial country. Since the disintegration, it has become very chaotic, especially in the northern cities. Countless people have already opened trade with that place. You collect scrap steel. At this time, I can't think of any other possibility except buying steel."

"Great."

Xu Banxia gave a thumbs up with admiration. What surprised her even more was that Zhou Chen was actually a returnee who studied international trade.

"The north is in chaos right now. Going there at this time is indeed a good way to make a fortune, but at the same time, it is also very chaotic and dangerous. I am really surprised that you, a woman, have the courage to go there."

Xu Banxia said: "I am not going alone. We are going together as a group, and we already have contacts there, so there will be no danger."

Zhou Chen knew how much trouble she would encounter when she went to the north this time, but he couldn't persuade her about this kind of thing. In addition, in the plot, Xu Banxia was able to make a fortune. This trip to the north to open up the source of goods did play a crucial role.

"Then I wish you a successful start and a fruitful return this time."

Xu Banxia was very happy: "This is the best blessing I have heard in this period of time. Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

"Don't call me Mr. Zhou, just call me Zhou Chen, it sounds better."

"Okay, then I won't be polite, Zhou Chen, don't call me Mr. Xu anymore, call me Banxia, ​​or my full name."

Although she had only met Zhou Chen a few times, she felt that Zhou Chen was a very good person. Whether it was for personal relationship or business, she was willing to make friends with Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, I just heard you say that you studied international trade, and you are also familiar with the north. Can you tell me about the situation in the north?"

"No problem, I do know a little about the north. Since you are interested, I will tell you."

Zhou Chen talked to Xu Banxia about the north. Xu Banxia was going to the north soon, so he was very interested and listened very seriously.

After dinner, Zhou Chen sent Xu Banxia back to the company.

Before leaving, Xu Banxia said gratefully: "Zhou Chen, thank you for telling me a lot about the north today. If you need my help in Binhai, just come to me and I will definitely help."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly: "If I need it, I will definitely find you."

"If you want to find me, just call me. I usually stay in the company. You will definitely find me when you come here."

"Okay, then I'll go first. See you next time."

"Goodbye."

Xu Banxia just went up to the second floor and was about to say something to Chen Yuzhou and Tong Xiaoqi, but before she opened her mouth, she was surrounded by the two.

"Fatty, what's going on with Mr. Zhou? Is he pursuing you? I think he's a good guy, handsome, with an extraordinary temperament, and looks rich..."

"Pah."

Xu Banxia slapped Chen Yuzhou's arm, "Xiao Chen, what are you talking about? I've only met him a few times, and he saw me at my most embarrassed. How could he pursue me? What are you thinking?"

Tong Xiaoqi suddenly said, "But I think he has bad intentions, otherwise how could he come to Binhai to find you? Boss, you have to be careful of him."

Xu Banxia was immediately furious: "No, Tong Xiaoqi, why are you following Xiao Chen's blind guessing? I'm a divorced woman who collects scrap steel, and he graduated from a foreign university and returned. Can he like me? Am I worthy of him?"

"That's not necessarily true. On the contrary, I think he doesn't deserve you." Tong Xiaoqi muttered in a low voice.

Chen Yuzhou also agreed: "Yes, Fatty, you have a bad temper, you are a little old, divorced, and you are a scrap steel collector, but it's not bad, so you don't have to look down on yourself."

It would have been fine if he didn't say it, but once he said it, Xu Banxia was directly angry, and she swung her bag and threw it at him.

"How can I have a bad temper? I'm only 28, how can I be called old? I'm divorced, so what? Do you need to emphasize it?"

"Fatty, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Chen Yuzhou was hit by Xu Banxia again and again, and he ran away in a hurry.

Xu Banxia was so angry that Chen Yuzhou ran away, and she pointed at Tong Xiaoqi again.

"You two, neither of you is a good person."
