Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 636 The Final Journey for All Private Enterprises!
Chen is usually more careful when dining out with his "official wife".

Because once discovered, it becomes difficult to explain.

So, he can help open the car door, but he won't talk for a long time while we're going up and down like that.

He only engages in casual conversation when he is completely open and honest.

The elegant middle-aged leader was naturally Song Zuomin, and he wouldn't suspect that Chen had other women outside.

On the one hand, their daughter is too outstanding; she has good looks, a good family background, and great abilities.

If Weiwei hadn't been interested in Chen, she wouldn't have been able to win him over so easily.

On the other hand, Chen Zhe and the woman in the car didn't seem to have the intimacy that couples usually show.

If they were truly dating, why would a guy stand in the sun and watch the car drive away as the girl leaves, as if it were a "farewell gift"? That's the behavior of a subordinate towards a superior.

So Song Zuomin didn't go over to ask, but instead walked to the side and called his daughter.

Unlike Professor Lu, who would check up on him at 10:30 every day, Song Zuomin would just chat with his daughter for a few minutes whenever he missed her, and that would make him feel good all day.

After Song Shiwei answered the call, Old Song first inquired about her daily life before casually asking, "Where's Chen Zhe? Has that kid been very busy lately? Is he with you?"

"He went out for a social engagement."

Song Shiwei said in a soft voice, his tone as clear and gentle as ever.

"Wow! He has to report to everyone he goes out for social events now."

Song Zuomin was basically certain that what he had just witnessed was just an official reception, so he chuckled and joked, "So, I have to explain to you whether it's a man or a woman?"

"Hmm... the guest of honor should be a lady from the capital."

Song Shiwei said briefly, noticing that her father seemed a bit strange today, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Old Song didn't hide anything: "I feel that Chen Zhe might be in some trouble. Invite him over for dinner tomorrow, Friday, and ask him about something."

……

Song Zuomin's political wisdom was actually superior to Zheng Weizhong's.

He astutely discerned from the "lady from the capital" and the "red and black license plate of the Land Cruiser" that Chen might be involved in some complicated relationships.

Zheng Weizhong was lucky back then; after leaving the military, he became the secretary of a high-ranking leader, which is why he became known as a "young leader".

Song Zuomin worked his way up to this position all by himself, and he has grassroots experience, having honed his skills in places like county supply and marketing cooperatives, where he spent his days dealing with farmers' accounts.

The characteristics of supply and marketing cooperatives: lots of work, many small problems, and incredibly annoying, but they are extremely good at training people.

There's a saying in Chinese officialdom: "Without experience in county and prefecture work, one cannot enter the central government to participate in the formulation of major policies."

This is why selected graduates are now required to go to villages, work at the grassroots level, and work on the front lines to truly "refine" their skills.

Mao Zedong's Selected Works states that if you feel lost, then actively participate in practice and go among the masses; your confusion will naturally be answered.

Therefore, comparing Zheng Weizhong and Song Zuomin, even though Song Zuomin is currently half a grade lower, his future achievements may not be inferior to those of Zheng.

When his father-in-law invited him, Chen had to make time for it no matter how busy he was.

On Friday evening, the 19th, Chen finished some work and hurriedly drove to Zhujiang Imperial View.

Now, Sweetie's nanny is quite familiar with this "professor Lu's future son-in-law".

Because Chen Zhe had visited the house so many times, he was quite familiar with the family's "taboos".

After changing into his slippers, he carefully straightened them, making sure the toes pointed outwards, so they were as neat and uniform as soldiers being inspected.

Lu Man found it a bit strange. She clearly heard the sound of the door opening, so why did the noise suddenly disappear?

Curious, she went to the entrance hall and found her son-in-law bending over, tidying up his shoes!

Professor Lu immediately said in an annoyed tone, "Stop messing around and come to the living room!"

"what……"

Chen felt a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and went to sit down in the living room.

Sitting on the sofa were Mr. Song and his daughter. Song Zuomin asked what had happened earlier, and after hearing his son-in-law's account, he burst into laughter.

Even Sweetie smiled gently, like a lake in early spring being rippled by a breeze.

Although Song Xiaohua still speaks very little, the shackles of her family of origin have finally stopped suffocating her since Chen Zhe appeared. How could Song Zuomin not see these changes?

Therefore, he needed to ask more questions and provide his son-in-law with some assistance if necessary.

The hot tea was ready. After pouring Chen a cup, Old Song asked about the important matter.

"I've been busy with work lately and haven't had time to keep up with your situation."

Song Zuomin began by asking, "How have things been these past two months?"

Chen slowly drank half a cup of tea.

He knew very well that his "father-in-law" was definitely not only concerned about the company's development, but judging from the couple's reactions, it didn't seem like a chaotic scene.

Thinking of this, Chen said calmly, "It's alright. It's just that the first generation of phones is about to be released, and I don't know how well consumers will accept it, so I'm a little nervous."

"You're nervous? I thought you were always in a confident state."

Song Zuomin smiled and picked up the teapot again, preparing to refill Chen's tea.

"That's just because he usually pretends to be very convincing."

As Chen spoke, he snatched the teapot away.

He poured a cup for his "father-in-law" first, then poured himself about seven or eight-tenths full.

Song Zuomin enjoyed the services of his "son-in-law" without any qualms.

They only have one daughter, and everything in the family will belong to them in the future. What's wrong with them being filial to them now?
Next, Song Zuomin said seriously, "Normally speaking, a company with such potential as Suhui that has reached such a scale should attract some attention."

"It could be an investment consortium, or it could be some other force..."

At this point, Song Zuomin's tone carried a hint of sarcastic meaning: "But this is not unique to China; it's the same all over the world."

Chen suddenly realized that his "father-in-law" must have learned about his situation and that of the Yi family from somewhere.

"Is such that."

Chen Zhe didn't intend to hide anything and took the initiative to say, "Let's cooperate with the Yi family in the capital right now."

"The Yi family of the railway department?"

Song Zuomin was clearly aware of the distribution of power.

"Yes, it's also the Yi family from the cultural front."

Chen added another sentence.

Song Zuomin fell into deep thought.

Chen didn't interrupt. With his father-in-law's political wisdom, he was sure he could understand that this step was the "final fate" of all large domestic private enterprises.

Of course, this doesn't mean that such a fate is bad. Sometimes, a strong alliance can produce a "1+1>2" effect.

If a private company remains uninterested, there are only two possibilities:
One scenario is that a power struggle is taking place in the imperial court, with the future uncertain, and no one dares to easily intervene and give the other side any leverage. By the time the outcome is decided in the imperial court, that company has already become a major force and cannot be touched at will.

Another type is the size of the enterprise, which has not yet reached the level where it needs to be "registered".

Director Chen is a shrewd person, so he was naturally prepared for this situation.

The original idea was that it might only come into the view of "certain surnames" after the Yumi phone became a huge success.

He even considered the local Yan family.

But I never imagined that the Yi family was such a bunch of idiots.

That's not quite right. The Yi family isn't stupid; the only one who's stupid is Yi Baoyu.

What kind of domineering way of cooperating? Believe me, if it were the Yan family, they would only politely seek a win-win situation.

But everything has two sides. If it were the Yan family, they might not have offended Tencent for the sake of going back in time.

Only someone as impulsive as Yi Gege would not hesitate to suppress Tencent's influence, especially when the Yi family patriarch was on the verge of death and everyone else was hesitant to act.

This almost reckless force inadvertently created an opening for the reply, buying it precious time to develop.

It can only be said that, in the face of a turbulent situation, Chen made a choice that was perhaps not the most advantageous, but it was the most appropriate.
