Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

“But your dad is so old, we can’t let him do manual labor anymore. We can get him an office job.”

She didn't know exactly how big her youngest son's company was, but she felt that arranging an office job for Zhou Zhigang wouldn't be a problem.

However, Zhou Zhigang became anxious: "I'm not going to sit in an office! Bingkun, don't listen to your mother, she doesn't understand anything. I'm a construction worker, what kind of construction worker sits in an office?"

“Dad, you’re wrong about that. There are plenty of construction workers sitting in offices these days!” Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.

"That's someone else. Anyway, I'm not going to sit in an office."

Seeing Zhou Zhigang's unwilling expression, Zhou Bingkun was even more speechless.

How come this old man turned into a scoundrel as soon as he retired?

“I’m planning to build a pharmaceutical factory in Jichun City. Construction will start soon.” Zhou Bingkun looked at Zhou Zhigang and said, “Dad, I remember you were an eighth-grade construction worker, right?”

Zhou Zhigang nodded happily and said, "Yes, I am an eighth-grade construction worker! You want me to help you build a factory?"

"How could I? You're my dad, the boss's father. How could I let you do the work?" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile. "What I mean is that you go to the construction site to check the blueprints, supervise the construction site, and help correct any problems that arise."

“This time, it’s your son who’s paying for the factory construction. I need to find someone knowledgeable and absolutely trustworthy to oversee the site, so I thought of you.”

In fact, it's not hard to find someone to supervise him; Zhou Bingkun's statement was just to give Zhou Zhigang an excuse.

Sure enough, Zhou Zhigang beamed with joy upon hearing this: "Bingkun, you've got a good eye! I can't speak for anything else, but your dad is an expert in architecture! You can't fool me. Leave this to me."

Li Suhua was initially hesitant, but upon hearing that it concerned her son, she immediately changed her attitude: "Kun'er, I also think you're right. Having your father oversee your company's affairs is definitely more reliable than having outsiders do it. I agree with this."

In the afternoon, Zhou Bingkun called the head of the logistics company and asked him to notify Sun Ganchao to come to his house.

An hour later, Sun Ganchao arrived at Zhou Bingkun's current home.

Zhou Bingkun asked Zheng Juan to make two cups of tea, and then he and Sun Ganchao discussed serious matters in the study.

"Ganchao, I called you here today to tell you that what I told you before is about to begin!" Zhou Bingkun said, looking at Sun Ganchao. "You don't need to go to work at the logistics company tomorrow!"

Sun Ganchao was overjoyed, because it meant that he would soon have a formal job.

"Kun'er, what exactly is the job you said you found for me?" Sun Ganchao asked Zhou Bingkun with some curiosity.

"Didn't I tell you before that our company is planning to build a factory? This time we're going to build both the factory and the building."

Sun Ganchao looked bewildered: "But I don't understand this either! However, I can still manage if I put in the physical effort."

“With our relationship, how could I possibly let you do hard labor?” Zhou Bingkun said with a smile. “I’m planning to have you help me oversee the construction site, to be an inspector and be responsible for checking things on the site. As for the specifics, you’ll learn from my dad later, and he’ll teach you.”

"Uncle is going to work there too? Didn't he retire?" Sun Ganchao was shocked to hear that Zhou Bingkun's father was also there.

Zhou Bingkun explained, “My dad was just lazing around at home with nothing to do, so I found him a job helping out at a construction site. He’s an experienced construction worker, so he’ll definitely have no problem with this. That’s why I’m having you learn from my dad! Even if you’re working on a construction site, you should still learn some skills.”

"Kun'er, don't worry, I will definitely follow Uncle's lead and learn diligently," Sun Ganchao assured him, patting his chest.

Zhou Zhigang is his uncle, so he feels no pressure at all when learning from Zhou Zhigang.

"Then it's settled!" Zhou Bingkun said to Sun Ganchao, "Ganchao, I heard that your wife Yu Hong still hasn't found a job?"

Sun Ganchao didn't think twice and honestly replied, "Yes! My wife used to work at the public bathhouse, but now that the public bathhouse has been privatized, their boss thought Yu Hong was too old and fired her. Although Qiao Chunyan is now the vice president there, she doesn't have much power. She keeps saying she wants to get Yu Hong in, but she hasn't succeeded yet."

“If our company’s construction site opens, we will definitely need people to cook on the site,” Zhou Bingkun said slowly. “Cooking is definitely hard work, but the pay will be good! You can go back and ask Yu Hong if she is interested in cooking on the construction site.”

“Of course there’s no problem!” Sun Ganchao answered for Yu Hong without hesitation.

Zhou Bingkun looked at Sun Ganchao and said, "Are you sure there's no problem? You should go back and discuss it with Yu Hong!"

Strictly speaking, cooking on construction sites is not a respectable job.

But now that Zhou Bingkun has found a good job for Sun Ganchao and an easy one for Yu Hong, what will Xiao Guoqing think?

The reason Zhou Bingkun emphasized that Sun Ganchao should go back and discuss with Yu Hong was to prevent Yu Hong from quitting after a few days and ending up being blamed.

However, Sun Ganchao didn't think that suffering was a big deal: "Kun'er, it's really no problem! No matter how hard or tiring it is, it can't be harder than the pedicurists in the bathhouse, right?"

“Alright, since you think it’s okay, then go back and tell Yu Hong!” Zhou Bingkun said to Sun Ganchao, “Two days later, go to this place and tell her that I sent you.”

Sun Ganchao remembered the place Zhou Bingkun mentioned: "Okay, Kun'er, I've got it. I'll go there with Yu Hong then."

After discussing the matter, Zhou Bingkun invited Sun Ganchao to stay for dinner at his home.

But Sun Ganchao was eager to go back and tell his wife the good news, so he refused Zhou Bingkun's offer to stay.

When Sun Ganchao returned home and told Yu Hong the news, Yu Hong was so excited that she was almost incoherent.

After calming down, Yu Hong said to Sun Ganchao, "Ganchao, we must thank Bingkun properly! How about we find some time to treat him to a meal?"

“Kun’er is so busy right now, how can he have time to eat with us?” Sun Ganchao waved his hand and said, “When Kun’er has some free time, I’ll treat him to a good drink!”

Yu Hong nodded and looked at Sun Ganchao, saying, "Bingkun made you follow his father to learn, which shows how much he values ​​you. Ganchao, you must study hard!"

"Of course!" Sun Ganchao said after thinking for a moment. "We need to buy two new outfits before going to work. We can't let Kun'er lose face."

Hearing her husband's words, Yu Hong shook her head and said, "As for catching up, I think we should keep a low profile! If others misunderstand that we're relying on Bingkun's connections, wouldn't that be bad for Bingkun?"

Sun Ganchao was taken aback and realized that Yu Hong made sense: "You're right. Kun'er is taking care of us by arranging jobs for both of us. We should work hard and not cause trouble for Kun'er."

"Catch up! We all have jobs now, that's wonderful!" Yu Hong then thought of her son. "But is it alright if your parents take care of him?"

Sun Ganchao replied without hesitation, "What problem could there be? Although my parents are not in good health, they can still help us take care of the children."

"Then I'm relieved! I'll spend the next few days at home researching how to cook delicious meals!" Yu Hong, who hadn't been to work for a long time, was very excited.

Because construction is about to begin, Zhou Zhigang has been studying the blueprints at home these past few days.

Even when Ma Shouchang came to ask him to play chess, he didn't have time to pay attention.

Zhou Zhigang ignored Ma Shouchang, so Ma Shouchang could only turn to Zhou Bingkun: "Bingkun, what's wrong with your dad lately? He won't play chess when I ask him to, and he's always studying some blueprints."

“Uncle Ma, my dad was too idle at home, so I found him something to do!” Zhou Bingkun explained to Ma Shouchang. “Our company’s construction site is about to start work, and my dad happens to be a construction worker, so I asked him to go and keep an eye on things.”

“I just wanted to give him something to do to pass the time, but I never expected him to care more about it than I do now.”

Zhou Bingkun hadn't expected his father to be such a workaholic.

He's starting to worry that being this busy might be bad for his dad's health!

However, it's probably impossible to get his father to stop now.

Therefore, Zhou Bingkun could only rely on his medical skills to keep a close eye on Zhou Zhigang's physical condition and give him more supplements regularly.

When Ma Shouchang heard that Zhou Zhigang was going to work at Zhou Bingkun's company, he became interested: "Bingkun, I finally found a chess friend like your dad, and now he's going to work for you, what am I going to do?"

"No, you have to find me something to do! I'm so bored at home every day, all I do is argue with Lao Qu. You have to find me something to do too."

Zhou Bingkun was stunned, and after a long while, he said with a wry smile, "Uncle Ma, why are you joining in the commotion too!"

“I’m not kidding you, I’m serious!” Ma Shouchang looked at Zhou Bingkun with a serious expression. “Anyway, I don’t care. You’ve ruined my chess friends, so you have to find me something to do to pass the time! If you don’t agree, I’ll come and block your door every day. If you still don’t agree, I’ll go to the construction site with your dad every day.”

Zhou Bingkun said somewhat speechlessly, "Uncle Ma, you...you're putting me in a difficult position! You finally retired, wouldn't it be better to rest at home!"

Although Ma Shouchang has a good relationship with his family, he can't bear the responsibility if something goes wrong because he helped him find work!

However, Ma Shouchang started acting like a rogue: "I don't care, this is how I am, you figure it out!"

Faced with the shameless Ma Shouchang, Zhou Bingkun had no choice but to go and discuss it with Zhou Zhigang.

Zhou Zhigang had spent several months with Ma Shouchang and naturally understood Ma Shouchang's thoughts.

But at the same time, she understood her youngest son's concerns.

So he wanted to help Zhou Bingkun persuade Ma Shouchang.

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhou Zhigang was persuaded by Ma Shouchang instead.

Zhou Zhigang said somewhat embarrassedly to Zhou Bingkun, "Bingkun, I've already discussed it with Lao Ma. You can send him over. He doesn't need to do any work; he can just be in charge of managing people. He used to be the dean of the military academy, so managing people is definitely no problem for him."

What could Zhou Bingkun do in the face of these two old men?

In the end, I had no choice but to agree to their request and warned them not to do anything reckless.

Zhou Bingkun also assigned them two assistants who were responsible for their safety and driving them to and from get off work every day.

Time quickly passed to May of 1988.

During these two months, Zhou Zhigang and Ma Shouchang did not encounter any problems, which reassured Zhou Bingkun considerably.

Because Ma Shouchang was a retired cadre and cherished his reputation, he did not receive a salary even though he was in charge of managing people at Zhou Bingkun's construction site.

Even though he didn't receive a salary, Ma Shouchang worked with great enthusiasm.

Every day, Zhou Zhigang and his two assistants would wander around the construction site. When they got tired, they would go to the office to enjoy the air conditioning.

There were people talking all around, and I was much happier living there than being cooped up in the provincial compound every day.

It was precisely because Ma Shouchang was always happy that Qu Xiuzhen became dissatisfied.

Later, she would also go to the construction site with Ma Shouchang and the others.

The behavior of these three elders left Zhou Bingkun feeling truly helpless.

After all the calculations, my own mother is still the most reliable.

I stay at home every day, cooking, taking care of the kids, and cleaning.

You don't need to worry about it.

Although Zhou Bingkun rarely went to the construction site to check on the progress these days, he was not idle either.

Since he invested in building a factory in Jichun City, officials in the surrounding cities have become restless.

Every now and then, they would contact Zhou Bingkun through various connections, hoping that Zhou Bingkun would invest in their jurisdiction.

Zhou Bingkun declined all of these invitations he could.

If you can't refuse, then you have no choice but to keep the appointment.

However, whether he can actually get the investment from him is another matter entirely.

Over the course of several months, Zhou Bingkun attended many appointments but only made a few investments.

Moreover, most of them are doing charity work.

For example, they built two Zhou family primary schools in the neighboring city and renovated the buildings of the Third Middle School in Jichun City.

That day, Zhou Bingkun had just finished having dinner with some provincial officials.

When I got home, I heard a familiar voice.

"elder brother!"

The familiar voice made Zhou Bingkun wary, and he quickly scanned the living room with his eyes.

There were quite a few people sitting in the living room.

Li Suhua and Zheng Juan sat on the sofa, while Qiao Chunyan, Aunt Qiao, and Wu Qian sat next to them.

Cao Debao was also there.

Besides these familiar faces, there were also several other women and young people.

Zhou Bingkun recalled that they were all old neighbors from the Guangzi area.

Zhou Bingkun was incredibly perceptive; he instantly guessed the general purpose of these people's visit.

"Oh, Mom, did you invite all these aunties over to catch up?" Zhou Bingkun changed his shoes and walked into the living room to say to Li Suhua, "Hello, aunties!"

As soon as Zhou Bingkun spoke, it was as if a switch had been flipped, and all of them stood up.

"Hey, the big boss Bingkun is back!"

"Bingkun, do you remember me? I'm your Aunt Zhao..."

"Bingkun is getting more and more handsome! Look at his outfit, he's so different from us."

"Bingkun's mother, you are so lucky to have such a good son!"

"Yes, Suhua, you are so lucky. Your eldest son is a government official and your youngest son is a big boss!"

……

Li Suhua remained calm despite the praise from the crowd.

It was as if these people were praising a stranger, not their own son.
