"Yeah!"
Zhou Chen was so sleepy that he just closed his eyes and responded.
"Awesome!
So amazing!"
Qi Yunfeng let out a gentle sigh and took another look at this not-so-small semiconductor company through the window.
To acquire this company, it would cost at least tens of millions, right?
In less than half a month, he had witnessed with his own eyes a poor guy who had to borrow money from his girlfriend turn into a billionaire and even acquire two companies in a row.
What he couldn't figure out was that since Zhou Chen was already so wealthy, why did he still bother to work so hard on his business? If he just deposited the money in the bank, the monthly interest would be enough to let him live a carefree life, wouldn't it?
Zhou Chen returned to school.
When passing by the playground, he met Tang Wan, Lu Feifei and Gu Qingyu.
All of them had happy smiles on their faces.
"Hi, Zhou Chen..."
Lu Feifei greeted Zhou Chen with a big smile.
Zhou Chen, however, looked at Tang Wan and asked with a smile, "Seeing you guys so happy, did you get another big order?"
Tang Wan pursed her lips and nodded. She looked around and, after seeing Cao Ming and the others playing basketball on the playground, immediately tugged at Lu Feifei's sleeve. "Let's hurry over there. We can't keep the customers waiting too long!"
"Tang Wan asked me to tell you..."
Lu Feifei said to Zhou Chen in a coquettish tone, "Brother Chen, keep it up! I'm waiting for you to marry me!"
"Ah?"
"Feifei, are you crazy?"
Tang Wan's face flushed with embarrassment and she clenched her fists, ready to hit someone.
"Ah, help!"
Lu Feifei screamed and ran outside the school.
Gu Qingyu glanced at Zhou Chen's dark circles and said softly, "Making money is important, but your health is even more important. The body is the foundation of revolution!"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Chen's reply, she strode away.
Zhou Chen smiled, put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the dormitory.
"Zhou Chen..."
Cao Ming's voice came from the playground.
Zhou Chen stopped and looked over.
Cao Ming waved his hand. "Come here. Do you expect me to come to you?"
Zhou Chen walked calmly towards the playground.
When he reached Cao Ming, he asked with a smile, "Brother Ming, what can I do for you?"
Cao Ming said lightly, "How dare you still get in touch with Tang Wan?"
"I didn't!"
"I saw it just now. Believe it or not, I..."
"Brother Ming, take this money to buy everyone drinks!" Zhou Chen took out five hundred yuan from his pocket, with a fawning smile on his face.
"Be careful next time. I'll only cover for you this once!" Cao Ming took the five hundred yuan and his tone softened a lot. "Go do whatever you need to do!"
"Sure, thanks, Brother Ming!"
Zhou Chen chuckled and then turned around to walk towards the dormitory.
The moment he turned around, his face immediately darkened.
Back in the dormitory, Zhou Chen immediately dialed Wu Hui's number.
"Boss..."
Wu Hui's voice sounded a bit weak.
Zhou Chen frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Wu Hui said hoarsely, "Last night, Cao Yuan's guys came to the skating rink to cause trouble. We got into a fight. There were too many of them and we took a bit of a beating!"
"Were the injuries serious?"
"Not too bad..."
"Which hospital are you in?"
"It's okay, Brother Chen. They're just some superficial wounds. No bones were broken... Ouch... Could you be a bit gentler?"
Wu Hui didn't even go to the hospital. He got the medical staff at his bar to stitch up the wounds.
Zhou Chen wasn't stupid. Naturally, he guessed that Wu Hui was seriously injured. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Has Cao Yuan started making moves so soon?"
Wu Hui said in a deep voice, "I find it strange too. This time, he brought over a hundred guys to smash up my place at great risk. Even the police were alerted and quite a few of our guys on both sides were taken in."
Zhou Chen took a deep breath. "Think it over carefully. If this path doesn't work out, we'd better do legitimate business."
Wu Hui gritted his teeth and said, "No need to think it over. I must see this through. I'll go and get even tonight!"
Even if it means crawling on our knees, we must continue on the path we've chosen.
So many of our guys were taken in and I even got a knife wound on my arm. I can't just let it go like this.
"First, get your wounds healed properly. We'll talk about it after that."
After ending the call, Zhou Chen lay on the bed, staring blankly at the bed board of the upper bunk.
What he just told Wu Hui to give up this path was just something he said casually.
Cao Yuan and Tang Jie were the biggest obstacles for him.
Only by getting rid of Cao Yuan could he have a normal relationship with Tang Wan.
As for Tang Jie, when Wu Hui grows stronger, it will be his turn to be afraid of me.
Zhou Chen slept until eight o'clock in the evening.
It was Chen Xiaolong's call that woke him up.
"Brother Chen, where are you? I'd like to treat you to dinner!"
Chen Xiaolong's voice sounded a bit tired.
He had been climbing mountains all day and was exhausted at the moment.
"I'm in the dormitory... Where are we going to eat? I'll come right away!"
"Yipin Xian Restaurant!"
"Okay!"
Zhou Chen made a phone call to Qi Yunfeng and then got up to wash up.
After washing up unhurriedly and walking out of the school gate, Qi Yunfeng had almost arrived.
Just as he was about to get into the car, he suddenly saw Instructor Hong Lei passing by with some daily necessities.
Hong Lei also noticed Zhou Chen and asked with a smile, "Is this your car?"
"Hong Lei?"
Qi Yunfeng suddenly shouted with his eyes wide open.
Hong Lei was slightly stunned and then looked at Qi Yunfeng. "Are you... Squad Leader Qi?"
Now it was Zhou Chen's turn to be stunned.
Qi Yunfeng had actually been a squad leader before?
Hong Lei stepped forward and gave Qi Yunfeng a bear hug, his voice choking as he said, "Squad Leader, I'm so glad to see you finally!"
Qi Yunfeng pounded on Hong Lei's solid back and said with a laugh, "The world is really small. I didn't expect to see you here!"
Hong Lei said with red eyes, "I've been an instructor at Jiangzhou University for two years already!"
Qi Yunfeng looked surprised and said, "You were transferred to be an instructor right after I retired?"
Hong Lei nodded and said, "Yes. After completing this task, I can be a squad leader when I go back too!"
"Good job. I had high hopes for you back then!"
Qi Yunfeng patted Hong Lei on the shoulder, and admiration showed in his eyes.
Qi Yunfeng patted Hong Lei on the shoulder, and admiration showed in his eyes.
At this moment, Hong Lei took a look at the car behind Qi Yunfeng and then at Zhou Chen, and asked in a low voice, "What's your relationship with Zhou Chen?"
"He's my boss..."
Qi Yunfeng admitted it generously.
He didn't feel ashamed at all about driving for someone.
Hong Lei sighed with a complicated look in his eyes, "If you hadn't been so impulsive back then, you should have become a non-commissioned officer by now!"
"Ah, let's not mention the past!"
"I don't regret it either!"
Qi Yunfeng smiled freely and then said to Zhou Chen, "Boss, get in the car. I'll take you there first!"
Zhou Chen had heard their conversation just now and said with a smile, "Let's go and have dinner together. You haven't seen each other for two years. You should have a good get-together!"
"Sure... Leizi, are there any other acquaintances in the school?"
"There are two more..."
"Call them out to join us!"
"Okay, I'll call them!"
Hong Lei said as he took out a PHS phone to call the other two comrades.
Just five minutes later, two crew-cut men with broad shoulders and a heroic bearing trotted out of the school.
Like Hong Lei, they both gave Qi Yunfeng bear hugs and then exchanged a few pleasantries.
Qi Yunfeng didn't dare to waste too much time. He opened the car door and said, "Hurry up and get in the car. Don't delay my boss's important business!"
Hong Lei directly got into the driver's seat. "Squad Leader, let me drive!"
After all, he was his squad leader. How could he let the squad leader be the driver?
Qi Yunfeng didn't decline either in order to save time.
Zhou Chen sat in the front passenger seat, while Qi Yunfeng and the other two comrades sat in the back seat chatting about old times.
In the car...
Zhou Chen sent a message to Chen Xiaolong, asking him to find a better private room and order a few more dishes.
