Chapter 605 Zhou Chen Angrily Scolded Hao’s Father and Made Him Angry
Standing in front of the Hao family villa, Zhou Chen looked calm.
The main purpose of coming to the provincial compound today is to visit Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen. There is also another purpose, which is to meet the Hao family and his wife.
It just so happened that Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei went there today. Even if he had a disagreement with the Hao family and had an argument, he would not let them know.
Just as he was about to walk in, he saw a nanny wearing an apron walking over.
"Comrade, which unit do you belong to? Do you have any appointments with Senior Official Hao and Director Jin?"
Not everyone can enter the provincial compound, and not everyone can visit the Hao family. Without an appointment, she cannot be let in.
Zhou Chen said in a calm tone: "Can you please tell Senior Official Hao and Director Jin that my name is Zhou Bingkun, I am Zhou Bingyi's younger brother, and I came here specifically to visit them today."
The nanny looked doubtfully at Zhou Chen, who only brought two tubes of tea. After knowing that he was Zhou Bingyi's younger brother, she nodded.
"Okay, you wait here first, I'll go ask."
"OK."
Zhou Chen stood at the door with a calm face and was not in a hurry. He had already arrived at the door. He didn't believe that the Hao couple would still refuse to meet each other.
The nanny came to the kitchen and told Jin Yueji what Zhou Chen said, which surprised both the Hao family and his wife.
"Bingyi's brother, isn't he at Lao Ma's house? Why did he come to our place alone? Bingyi and Dongmei went to their house today, he should know."
Father Hao suddenly frowned: "You said he came here behind Bingyi and Dongmei's back. Does he need our help for something?"
Jin Yueji's expression was startled, and then she mused: "Given his relationship with Lao Ma and Xiao Qu, even if something happens, he should ask them for help."
"But what if they can't even do it with Lao Ma?"
"That's it."
Jin Yueji pushed up her glasses skillfully, but she did not rule out this possibility.
"Since it is possible that he has such a purpose, will you see him or not?"
Father Hao: "He is Bingyi's younger brother. Everyone has already arrived at the door. If he is missing, it will be difficult for Dongmei to be in the Zhou family. Let him come in."
After the nanny got the reply, she went out to pick up the baby.
Seeing her husband's frown, Jin Yueji comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much, maybe he doesn't necessarily come to ask for help."
Father Hao: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, and I pay a sudden visit when Bingyi and Dongmei are not around. There must be some conspiracy. I heard Dongmei say that Zhou Bingyi's brother is very unusual."
"Okay, don't think so much. If Zhou Bingkun is a smart man, he should have a sharp eye. Let's meet him first. And to be honest, I'm really curious about this Zhou Bingkun. How can he It's so extraordinary that Lao Ma and Xiao Qu value her so much and our daughter is so polite."
Jin Yueji often went to chat with Qu Xiuzhen and the others. She heard them talk about Zhou Chen more than once, and her daughter also mentioned it often, so she was really curious.
But Hao's father was still worried: "Whoever comes is not good, whoever comes is not good."
In fact, with his current status, it doesn't have to be like this, but he has experienced a major setback, so now he is careful in everything and always pays attention, just for fear of accidentally making a mistake.
He didn't want to repeat what happened back then.
"Let's go to the living room to entertain."
The two of them had just walked to the living room and before they sat down, they saw the nanny leading a fashionably dressed young man with a straight body, walking leisurely with his head held high and his chest high.
The vast majority of people who come here are cautious and timid, they don't even dare to take a step when walking, and they only sit half way when they sit down.
There are definitely very few people like Zhou Chen who walk in with their heads held high and their chests held high.
The Hao family and his wife are both picky characters, so just at the first glance, they felt that Zhou Chen was unusual.
Zhou Chen also met the Hao couple for the first time. He saw that Senior Official Hao was an old man with a medium build and a hunchback, a flat head, a serious face, and a cold expression.
Jin Yueji looked like a kindly old man with a smile, but Zhou Chen knew how capable and scheming this old lady was. Of course, it could also be said that she was very wise, and she was definitely the wisest among the wise.
"Junior Zhou Bingkun, I take the liberty of visiting you, please forgive me."
He is Zhou Bingyi's younger brother, and Zhou Bingyi is the son-in-law of the Hao family, so there is no problem for him to call himself a junior.
Hao Gaoguan didn't speak. It was Jin Yueji who spoke. She was smiling and said in a gentle tone: "You are Bingyi's younger brother. You are really a talented person. I heard Bingyi and Dongmei often mention you and say that you are very capable. , when I saw it today, it turned out to be true.”
Zhou Chen said modestly: "You are ridiculous. I am just an ordinary person. I am not a talented person at all. I can't compare with you two."
Jin Yueji smiled: "Comrade Bingkun, you are being humble. Lao Hao and I heard a lot about you from Dongmei, Lao Ma and Xiaoqu. We didn't have you when you were so young. Such an achievement.”
No matter what she thought in her heart, the attitude she showed was really speechless.
Comparatively speaking, Hao Gaoguan was not as good as Jin Yueji in this regard. He didn't want to say anything to Zhou Chen, a junior, and asked directly.
"Little comrade, you came to see us today, what's the matter with you?"
We are all smart people. Just by asking, Zhou Chen knew what Senior Official Hao meant. They had been chatting for several times and didn't even let him sit down. Isn't this attitude obvious?
If that's the case, don't blame him.
Zhou Chen wasn't annoyed, he just smiled and put the two tubes of tea in his hands on the coffee table.
"I'm sorry. It's my first time to visit today. I wanted to bring something, but I'm afraid you two won't accept it. But don't bring anything. It's not nice to celebrate the Chinese New Year, so I brought two tubes of tea. Please ask me. You two, don’t dislike it, my dad brought this back from your province, he couldn’t bear to drink it himself, so I gave it to him.”
Looking at the two tubes of tea, Hao's father didn't care. Whether Zhou Chen brought something with him or not did not affect his influence on Zhou Chen.
But when Jin Yueji saw the two barrels of tea, the smile on her face instantly faded away, and she turned to look at the two barrels of tea with a solemn expression, and then looked at Zhou Chen.
"Comrade Zhou Bingkun, are these two tubes of tea meant by your father or you?"
As a husband and wife for many years, Hao's father knew that things were not simple as soon as he heard his wife's tone.
Zhou Chen still had a smile on his face: "That's what I meant. My father, how should I put it, is too face-saving. There are some things he can't do, so even if he is wronged, for the sake of the children and the family, he can only I can swallow it by myself; but I can’t. It’s really not nice to give something away as a gift and then give it back as a gift. Is that the truth?”
As his words fell, the faces of the Hao couple became ugly.
At this time, Father Hao also understood what was going on. His wife had told him about the tea, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time. He might have felt a little bad at that moment, but he forgot about it in a flash.
He thought that the matter would be like this, and there would be no contact between the two families in the future, so he didn't take it to heart.
But he never expected that Zhou Chen would come to the door in person today and bring two tubes of tea. Wasn't he deliberately making them look bad and looking for trouble?
Since the officials were restored to their original posts, when had the two people in high positions been slapped in the face like this? Therefore, even though they had deep connections in the city, they were still angered by Zhou Chen at this time.
Jin Yueji held back her anger and explained: "Comrade Zhou Bingkun, this matter is indeed our problem. The situation that day was special. I really didn't have the energy to think about it that much at the time, so this mistake happened. We really did An apology should be made.”
"Apologize?"
Zhou Chen smiled softly: "No, if you don't apologize sincerely, let's forget it. And judging from your attitude, it seems that you don't feel the need to apologize to our family."
Father Hao and Jin Yueji looked even more ugly, but Zhou Chen ignored them and continued talking.
"As you two thought, the reason why I chose to come here today is indeed to avoid my eldest brother and sister-in-law. After all, if we bump into them, everyone will look bad."
Jin Yueji asked in a cold tone: "Are you here today to investigate?"
I thought I was just visiting to fawn over you, but I didn't expect that I was here to slap you in the face.
"You misunderstood. I am just a junior, so I am not qualified to call an army to hold him accountable. It's just that I saw that my dad couldn't sleep well or eat well because of this incident. I really felt uncomfortable."
"I'm really confused. It should be you two who said they wanted to meet with our family at that time. But as it turned out, yes, Senior Official Hao was ill, so you two couldn't take care of our family. But if you two If you are really sincere, several days have passed since that day, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law have also been at home, so why haven't you mentioned meeting us again? Even if we don't meet, you won't not give me an explanation, right?"
Jinyu Ji was about to speak, but Father Hao suddenly said: "Little comrade, actually we don't need to explain so much to you. If it were your father, we would still say a few words, but to you, we don't need to say so much. "
"Tsk."
Zhou Chen tsked lightly, listening to this tone.
In fact, before he came, he had never thought of being so direct, but since he came in, the contemptuous attitude of these two people made him very dissatisfied.
Although they met for the first time, he was Zhou Bingyi's younger brother after all. As a result, he had been here for a long time and refused to let him sit down. Without saying a few words, his unwelcoming attitude was revealed.
Since you are all so rude, why should I touch your cold ass with my warm face?
"Yes, there is really no need to explain to me, because I am just a commoner, and I am not qualified for you to look directly at me. You two are so used to being so superior that you don't even look down on your in-laws, let alone a junior like me?"
Jin Yueji said coldly: "Little comrade, be careful what you say. No matter what you say, we are also your elders. You should not speak to us in this tone."
"Respect is relative. Before you say this, let's think about how you two treat our family. Do you think our Zhou family is not worthy of being your in-laws in your eyes? Or do you think we should just go along with it?" I will cling to you, flatter you, and allow you to despise and bully you."
"It's you who said you wanted to meet, but you're the one who said you couldn't. Have you asked us for our opinion?"
"Yes, your family is a high-ranking official, and our family is just a common people with no power; but this does not mean that we have to be angry with you. Our Zhou family has never been sorry to your Hao family. On the contrary, it is your Hao family. I'm sorry to our Zhou family."
Jin Yueji: "You said that we have sorry for your family? Just because we have not met your parents, you say that we have sorry for your family? Zhou Bingkun, you are also an adult and a father. You don't even understand the most basic principles of life. ?"
"I don't understand the principles of being a human being? I should be the one to say this. You have a high status, but when it comes to being a human being, you are far behind. You haven't sorry for our family yet. You pretend to be confused because you understand. My eldest brother is the eldest son of the Zhou family. , but for the sake of his sister-in-law, he admitted that he was infertile and shouldered the responsibility, but you clearly knew it, but pretended not to know, as if everything was taken for granted. For this reason, you are sorry for our Zhou family. "
When the Hao family heard Zhou Chen talking about this matter, they suddenly felt that they were wrong, but naturally they would not admit it in front of Zhou Chen.
"This matter is between Bingyi and Dongmei. We can't make the decision, and you are not qualified to take care of it."
Zhou Chen sneered and said: "The push is really clean, I admire you."
"Zhou Bingkun, pay attention to the attitude of your words. This is not a place for you to be arrogant."
Father Hao slammed the sofa and shouted: "If you came here today just to say this, then we don't welcome you. Also, take your tea away."
"What a great prestige and high threshold. If you don't welcome me, I don't want to see you yet. We all serve the people, but I really don't see this temperament at all in you two." , no wonder Jiangliao Province has been in chaos and unable to develop in recent years. With a person like you at the helm, it’s no wonder that it can develop."
Zhou Chen picked up the two tubes of tea leaves on the coffee table with disdain, turned around and prepared to leave.
"stop."
Father Hao stood up suddenly, pointed at Zhou Chen and shouted.
If he was just angry and dissatisfied just now, now he is furious.
Zhou Chen can vent his dissatisfaction on the affairs of the two families, but he cannot despise him at work. He has been working hard to change Jiangliao Province in the past few years, but what Zhou Chen just said has directly put all his His efforts were despised, which he couldn't tolerate.
Zhou Chen turned around and asked coldly: "Why, Senior Officer Hao feels angry? Is what I said wrong?"
Jin Yueji also had a cold face and a cold tone: "Zhou Bingkun, we tolerate you in every possible way because you are Zhou Bingyi's younger brother, but this is not the capital for your nonsense and wanton behavior. You must apologize to us today. "
"Sure enough, I have been in charge for a long time and am used to being flattered by others. I can't even listen to a word of objection. You apologize and say something unpleasant. You don't deserve it."
His face was completely broken, and Zhou Chen showed no mercy. Even though they had a high status now, to be honest, he was really not afraid.
At this time, the nanny heard the sound and hurried over: "Director Jin, what happened?"
Father Hao waved his hand: "It's none of your business, you go out first."
The nanny looked at the angry two people, looked at Zhou Chen strangely, and then walked out of the villa. She knew that the following words were definitely not what she could hear.
Father Hao stared at Zhou Chen, he was so angry that he couldn't breathe, and finally calmed down a little.
"Zhou Bingkun, you are also a college student now. You should know what you just said. I can have someone arrest you."
"If you tell the truth, you will be arrested, haha."
"you."
Father Hao was once again angered by Zhou Chen's disdainful attitude: "You said Jiangliao Province is in chaos because of me. You made it clear to me today. If you don't make it clear, don't even think about leaving this compound."
Zhou Chen's nose twitched and he said: "Okay, since you are not afraid of being hit, then I will tell you."
"It is said that it has been three years since you resumed your position as a high-ranking official in Jiangliao. But three years have passed. What happened in Jiangliao Province? Instead of progressing, the economy is regressing. Major factories have been unable to make ends meet, and some have gone bankrupt. Not a few, the country announced reform and opening up two years ago, but two years have passed, has there been any movement in Jiangliao Province?"
Jin Yueji said coldly: "What do you know? Reform and opening up also depends on the situation. Our situation in Jiangliao Province is special and there is no way to implement this policy quickly."
"Yes, so this has led to more and more large-scale factories going bankrupt and closing. More and more workers are idle at home. No one at home makes money. What should they do if they can't survive? So in the past two years, Jiangliao Province has not only The economy is not developing, and public security is getting worse. More and more people are willing to go to the south to work rather than stay. The inability to retain talents has made it increasingly difficult to manage various units, and the system has become more and more difficult. It's getting more and more chaotic..."
Zhou Chen, bah bah, talked about everything from the economy to public security, and from public security to other aspects, which made the faces of the Hao family and his wife become increasingly ugly.
Even though they were getting more and more angry, they had to admit that everything Zhou Chen said was true.
They were very surprised at this moment. How could Zhou Chen see so many problems? He was just a young man under thirty years old. Where did he have any experience?
As a senior official, Hao's father knew more details than Zhou Chen. Precisely because he knew more, he was more shocked and angrier by Zhou Chen's words.
"Ultimately, if something like this happens, you, as the helmsman, should bear the main responsibility. It is because of your inaction that Jiangliao Province is increasingly unable to keep up with the domestic development situation."
"To be honest, I understand why this is the case. The reason is very simple, because you are no longer the same person you were more than ten years ago. Having experienced such setbacks has long since wiped out your determination. The person you are now is not nice to say. Yes, that means he doesn’t want to make progress, he only wants to maintain the status quo, and he has no courage to make changes. What can a helmsman who only seeks stability, not development and progress, do?”
"My evaluation of you is just one word, corpse meal."
When Zhou Chen said the last four words, Hao's father seemed to have been hit hard. He collapsed on the sofa, covering his chest with one hand, and his face turned purple.
Not caring about being angry, Jin Yueji rushed into the study in a panic, picked up asthma medicine and gave it to Father Hao.
Zhou Chen watched this scene silently, until Hao's father slowly regained his composure, he sneered, turned and left.
This breath is finally comfortable and happy.
Father Hao slowly recovered, but his eyes were fixed on the direction Zhou Chen left.
"Zhou Bingkun, Zhou Bingkun, okay, okay."
Listening to her husband's demonic roar, Jin Yueji was also shaken. As the person next to her, she naturally knew what kind of character Hao's father was.
In so many years, this was the first time she had seen someone so angry with her husband. She really didn't know how to evaluate this Zhou Bingkun.
"Old Hao, calm down. Dong Mei once said that Zhou Bingkun is a literary poet. The words of such a person are the most unpleasant. Don't take it too seriously."
But Hao's father seemed not to have heard anything, and still kept chanting Zhou Chen's name...
After leaving Hao's house, Zhou Chen regained his smile and returned to Ma Shouchang's house. He stayed for a while before leaving with his wife and children.
He said nothing about what happened at Hao's house.
After returning home, Zhou Chen found that Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were no longer there. After asking, he found out that they had left.
He knew that today's events would not end like this, but he didn't take it to heart.
dinner time.
Li Suhua asked Zhou Zhigang: "Dad, if I remember correctly, you will be able to retire in a few years, right?"
Zhou Zhigang is a construction worker, which can be regarded as a backbreaking job. Under normal circumstances, he can retire at the age of fifty-five. However, he now supports the third line of the university and needs to postpone his retirement for a few years, so he has to work for a few more years.
Zhou Zhigang said: "I should be able to retire in five or six years."
"Five or six years, that's pretty soon."
Five or six years is not a short time, but for Li Suhua, who is used to waiting, it is not a long time.
Zhou Rong said with a smile: "Mom, when my dad retires and stays at home every day, you will definitely find him annoying again. You won't be able to see or think about him, and you will be annoyed when you see him."
"Hahaha……"
Zhou Zhigang burst out laughing, this could really happen.
While they were joking, someone suddenly knocked on the door violently outside.
"It's so late, who is it?"
Zhou Rong couldn't help but muttered when she heard the knock on the door.
"Zhou Bingkun, open the door, Zhou Bingkun, open the door for me quickly."
"Brother's voice, what's going on?"
Zhou Rong stood up and looked at Zhou Chen with a puzzled look, because judging from the shouting outside, it felt like he was looking for trouble.
Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua both frowned and looked at Zhou Chen who was eating calmly.
"Bingkun, what's going on?"
Zhou Chen put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "I'm here to vent my anger on his father-in-law and mother-in-law's behalf."
Zhou Zhigang felt something was wrong as soon as he heard this, and asked again: "Bingkun, what did you do?"
Just not allowing Zhou Chen to answer, Zhou Bingyi rushed in aggressively, ignored the others, walked to the table, pointed at Zhou Chen and yelled: "Zhou Bingkun, is there something wrong with you? Who told you to go to Dongmei? Mom and Dad, what did you do to make Dongmei’s father so angry?”
"What? The in-laws got sick from Bingkun's anger?"
Zhou Zhigang cried out. Li Suhua and others also looked shocked, including Zheng Juan, who went to the provincial compound with Zhou Chen today. She didn't know what was going on.
Zhou Bingyi heard his father's voice and explained angrily: "Yes, Dongmei's nanny said that Bingkun went to Dongmei's house this afternoon and had a big fight with Dongmei's parents. After he left, Dongmei’s father fell ill and we had to call an ambulance.”
After Zhou Zhigang heard this, he also shouted at Zhou Chen with anger and asked: "Bingkun, who asked you to go to Dongmei's parents? What on earth did you do to make them sick?"
He was angry and scared.
Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng were even more frightened. They all knew how powerful Zhou Chen was and had experienced it.
But this time the situation was different. He was a senior provincial official. Zhou Chen could actually make even the senior provincial officials angry. How courageous and capable he was.
Feng Huacheng was secretly glad that he didn't confront his brother-in-law, otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Zheng Juan also pulled Zhou Chen eagerly and whispered: "Bingkun, what's going on? Why didn't you tell me?"
Zhou Chen looked calm, patted Zheng Juan gently to show comfort, and then said to Zheng Guangming: "Guangming, take Ruirui, Yueyue and Congcong into the room to play for a while."
Zheng Guangming stood up immediately. Zhou Rui's three children were also very obedient. They followed Zheng Guangming and left the dining table and walked into the bedroom.
After the children had left, Zhou Chen slowly stood up and looked directly at Zhou Bingyi, who came to question the menacingly.
