Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

"Dad, Daddy!"

"Uncle, uncle!"

Zheng Juan let go of Zhou Bingkun, and looked at the two little ones who wanted to be held, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Zhou Bingkun bent down and picked up Zhou Boyan and Feng Yue, one in each arm.

Seeing Li Suhua and Zheng Guangming walking over, Zhou Bingkun smiled and said, "Mom, Guangming, I'm back!"

Li Su nodded: "It's good to be back! Haven't eaten yet?"

"Haven't eaten yet! Looks like I'm lucky, I just made it to lunchtime!"

Although he had already eaten before returning, Zhou Bingkun was still willing to have another meal with his family.

Zhou Bingkun did not go to work for the next two days.

Shao Jingwen had already arranged leave for him, so there was no need to worry.

It wasn't until the third day that Zhou Bingkun started going to work.

As soon as Zhou Bingkun returned to the publishing house, he felt a lot of strange looks.

Because law enforcement officers took him away from the magazine office, many of his colleagues at the publishing house actually knew about it.

However, because President Wu specifically issued a strict order forbidding anyone from the publishing house from discussing this matter with outsiders, the news did not get out.

Upon arriving at the office, Zhou Bingkun first greeted Shao Jingwen, and then went to President Wu's office.

"What? Bingkun, you're resigning from your position as deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine?" President Wu looked at Zhou Bingkun in disbelief.

These days, he's only ever seen people desperately trying to climb the ladder, never anyone willing to resign from their official position.

This time, Zhou Bingkun really broadened his horizons.

Seeing the surprised President Wu, Zhou Bingkun smiled and said, "Yes, President! After what happened, if I continue to serve as the deputy editor-in-chief, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain the respect of the people!"

After a moment of contemplation, President Wu sincerely advised, "Bingkun, I think you shouldn't take what happened before to heart! You were wronged, and the company has already issued a statement on this, so no one will have a problem with you!"

"Old Shao was thinking of giving you the position of editor-in-chief of the magazine, but now you don't even want to be the deputy editor-in-chief anymore."

He genuinely didn't want Zhou Bingkun to resign from his position as deputy editor-in-chief.

During his seven years at the publishing house, Zhou Bingkun contributed a great deal to the company; it was already beneath him to be a mere deputy editor-in-chief of a magazine.

Zhou Bingkun could see that President Wu meant well, but he still firmly said, "President, I know you mean well, but my mind is made up, and I hope you can agree!"

"Another reason I gave up the position of deputy editor-in-chief is that my wife is pregnant again! We already have one child, and my sister's child recently came to visit. If another one comes, my wife definitely won't be able to handle it all by herself! So I want to focus more on my family!"

These words left President Wu speechless: "Bingkun, I've been there, and in my experience, men should prioritize their careers! Only when a man's career is successful can he have a high status in the family. As for taking care of children, that's a woman's job. Why are you getting involved?"

But Zhou Bingkun was determined, and President Wu had no choice but to agree to his resignation as deputy editor-in-chief and let him return to his position as an editor.

Upon learning this news, Shao Jingwen was even more exasperated and angrily rebuked Zhou Bingkun.

Zhou Bingkun accepted Shao Jingwen's rebuke with a smile, but had no intention of changing his ways, which left Shao Jingwen feeling helpless.

The news that Zhou Bingkun had voluntarily given up his position as deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine quickly spread throughout the publishing house.

Many people were very surprised, but some were secretly pleased.

There's a specific position for every position, and now that a cadre post has been created, naturally some people are eyeing it.

Back home, Zhou Bingkun told Zheng Juan and Li Suhua about it.

Although Zheng Juan felt that her husband shouldn't have done that, she respected his decision since he had made it.

However, Li Suhua, as the mother, couldn't help but scold Zhou Bingkun.

The Zhou family finally produced a talented person, but now he has voluntarily demoted himself, which infuriates her!

Li Suhua then asked Zheng Juan to write a letter to Zhou Zhigang, hoping that the old man would teach Zhou Bingkun a good lesson.

But clearly, no one can change Zhou Bingkun's decision.

The reason he gave for resigning from his position as deputy editor-in-chief was just an excuse; in reality, he was more focused on preparing for next year's college entrance examination.

With the college entrance examination resuming next year, he should have no problem getting into university.

If I become the deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine, it will be difficult for me to resign.

Without the title of deputy editor-in-chief, Zhou Bingkun's daily work became much easier.

With more free time, Zhou Bingkun spent his time with his family and also went to chat with Ma Shouchang and his wife.

Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen were naturally very happy that Zhou Bingkun would come to chat with them from time to time.

After more than half a month of such leisurely days, Cai Xiaoguang took the initiative to invite Zhou Bingkun out for dinner.

At the dinner table, Cai Xiaoguang said to Zhou Bingkun, "Bingkun, your sister has contacted me."

While speaking, Cai Xiaoguang kept an eye on Zhou Bingkun's expression.

He knew that Zhou Bingkun was definitely very dissatisfied with Zhou Rong and her husband.

However, Zhou Bingkun's expression did not change after hearing his words.

Actually, Zhou Rong had called him during this time, but he didn't answer.

As for the letter Zhou Rong sent back, Zheng Juan was not allowed to open it.

Since Zhou Rong couldn't contact him, it was only natural that she would turn to Cai Xiaoguang.

"What did she tell you?"

Cai Xiaoguang was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I told her about your situation, and she expressed deep regret for dragging you into this. She asked me to apologize to you!"

Zhou Bingkun didn't believe Cai Xiaoguang's words at all, because his sister wasn't the type to apologize!

So Zhou Bingkun didn't say anything, he just stared straight at Cai Xiaoguang.

Faced with Zhou Bingkun's gaze, Cai Xiaoguang quickly lost his composure: "Okay, to be honest, Zhou Rong didn't say that, but she really cares about you."

Zhou Bingkun waved his hand: "Alright, Xiaoguang, Zhou Rong is my sister. I know her better than you do! Right now, she only cares about Feng Huacheng. Why would she care about me? Even if she knew I was locked up for a few days, she probably wouldn't care too much. She might even say, 'It's nothing, I didn't suffer much. Feng Huacheng is the one who suffered a lot!'"

Hearing Zhou Bingkun say this, Cai Xiaoguang looked quite embarrassed, because Zhou Bingkun was absolutely right.

When he told Zhou Rong that Zhou Bingkun had been implicated by her and Feng Huacheng and had been detained for several days, Zhou Rong only casually expressed her concern.

But it was just one sentence, and then she asked him if there was any way to help her save Feng Huacheng.

He also felt that Zhou Rong had gone too far in treating Zhou Bingkun, so he thought of making up a lie for her.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Bingkun saw through it at a glance.

“Bingkun, Zhou Rong is your sister after all. She’s not having an easy time either. Her husband is locked up, and she’s the most helpless person right now.”

"Her helplessness? That's what she deserves!" Zhou Bingkun said mercilessly in front of Cai Xiaoguang. "Brother Xiaoguang, I don't know what she said to you, but I solemnly advise you not to help her! Feng Huacheng made his own mistakes, let him suffer the consequences! Otherwise, my fate could be your fate."

Cai Xiaoguang's expression changed slightly. He was infatuated with Zhou Rong, but that didn't mean he was brainless.

Zhou Bingkun hadn't even helped yet when he was arrested and detained for several days.

If he were to actually offer assistance, the outcome would likely be even more disastrous.

"Then what do we do? We can't just stand by and watch her suffer!"

Seeing Cai Xiaoguang's reluctance, Zhou Bingkun said, "She's an adult now, and she should face some things on her own. This is for her own good. Brother Xiaoguang, I know you're reluctant, but I still maintain that before helping her, think about yourself first."

After having dinner with Cai Xiaoguang, Zhou Bingkun went straight home.

When Zhou Bingkun returned home, he found that there were guests at his house.

It's quite rare for guests to come to our house around dinnertime.

Moreover, Zhou Bingkun knew two of these guests: Xiao Guoqing's mother and Wu Qian.

As for the other man and woman, Zhou Bingkun did not recognize them.

Zhou Bingkun looked at Zheng Juan: "What's this?"

Zheng Juan shook her head: "I don't know what they came here for. Mom and Guangming took Yan Yan and Yue Yue out."

When Wu Qian and the others saw Zhou Bingkun return, they all stood up.

Wu Qian was the first to greet him: "Bingkun, you're back!"

Zhou Bingkun nodded, then asked Xiao Guoqing's mother and Wu Qian, "Auntie, Wu Qian, what brings you here?" Wu Qian didn't speak, but Xiao Guoqing's mother suddenly bowed to Zhou Bingkun and said, "Bingkun, I've come here today to ask for your help."

"Did something happen during the National Day holiday?" Zhou Bingkun asked, somewhat puzzled.

Wu Qian reacted faster than Xiao's mother: "It's okay during the National Day holiday."

"What is that?" Zhou Bingkun frowned.

Wu Qian glanced at Xiao's mother but didn't say anything more.

However, Zhou Bingkun understood and looked at Xiao's mother, saying, "Auntie, sit down! What's the matter? Sit down and we'll talk."

"Juan'er, go and pour tea for the aunties."

Mother Xiao quickly waved her hand: "No need, no need! Bingkun, we've already had our drinks."

Zhou Bingkun nodded, then continued, "Auntie, just tell me what's wrong! I'll definitely help if I can."

Zhou Bingkun knew very well that Xiao Guoqing should not know about this.

Otherwise, it would definitely be him who comes.

Xiao's mother asked cautiously, "Bingkun, I heard from Guoqing and Qian'er that you work at a publishing house, right?"

"Correct."

Xiao's mother put on a fawning smile: "Bingkun, then I'll be frank. This is Guoqing's second sister and brother-in-law. His brother-in-law only graduated from junior high school, so he can be considered an intellectual. You work as an executive at the publishing house. Could you please help him find a job there?"

Chapter 204, These mere Xiongnu will surely never return! (Please subscribe!)

"Huh?" Zhou Bingkun's face showed a look of astonishment.

He never expected that Xiao's mother and Wu Qian would come to see him this time for this very reason.

However, Zhou Bingkun quickly regained his composure: "Auntie, I'm so sorry. If you had come a month or two earlier, I might have been able to help you. But now I'm no longer the deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine; I'm just an ordinary editor, and I could lose my job at any time."

"So I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother and the others all showed expressions of shock.

Wu Qian asked impatiently, "Bingkun, what exactly happened? You were doing well as the deputy editor-in-chief, how could this happen?"

Zhou Bingkun sighed helplessly: "Who can say for sure about work matters? Auntie, I really can't help you with this."

Xiao's mother, daughter, and son-in-law exchanged a glance, their disappointment barely concealed.

They didn't think Zhou Bingkun would lie to them, because they could find out the truth with just a little inquiry.

After her initial disappointment, Xiao Guoqing's second sister asked hesitantly, "Bingkun, you've worked at the publishing house for so many years, you must know a lot of people. Could you please introduce me to some of the publishing house's leaders?"

Zhou Bingkun was speechless. He had already been very straightforward, so why couldn't Xiao Guoqing's second sister understand?

Although he and Xiao Guoqing were childhood friends and had a good relationship, he had no connection with Xiao Guoqing's sister.

As for Xiao Guoqing's brother-in-law, he didn't even recognize him!

However, out of respect for Xiao Guoqing, Zhou Bingkun patiently explained, "Second sister, I only became a junior editor because I didn't get along well with the boss. If I were to go to the boss, things that were still hopeful might really become hopeless."

Xiao Guoqing's second sister looked rather unwell, and her husband sat there without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhou Bingkun frowned.

When Xiao Guoqing's second brother-in-law first saw him, he was incredibly enthusiastic!

Now that he realized he wasn't a manager at the magazine and couldn't help, his expression immediately turned cold.

This is so damn realistic!

If it weren't for Xiao Guoqing's sake, he would have kicked them out!

Wu Qian, who usually lacks tact, was surprisingly perceptive at this moment: "Mom, Second Sister, it's getting late. Guoqing and Dad are waiting for us to come back and cook dinner! Let's go back first!"

Wu Qian actually didn't want to come this time.

Even if this matter succeeds, she won't gain anything from it.
