Chapter 123: Chapter 123 She Calls You Brother Huai’an_1

Chu Zizhou saw Gu Huai’an, or to be precise, Gu Huai’an had actively sought him out.

Gu Huai’an had returned to Beidu for a meeting.

Seeing that all the straw hats had sold out, he had rarely praised him with a few words.

Chu Zizhou recalled the last phone conversation with Gu Huai’an, and just thought that Gu Huai’an was too difficult to deal with, of course, Song Yunuan wasn’t any easier.

What should he do about it?

If he mentioned Song Yunuan to him, he would say, "I’m not familiar with her, why are you talking to me about her?"

But if he didn’t mention Song Yunuan, Gu Huai’an definitely wouldn’t have come just to catch up with him.

Chu Zizhou scratched his head and said to Gu Huai’an, "I want to discuss something with you, help me think this through."

Gu Huai’an, while idly flipping through a book, said, "Speak."

Chu Zizhou then said that Song Yunuan had made suggestions, then improved them, and also designed the patterns for the straw hats, especially giving him quite a few ideas just before his arrival.

Following what Song Yunuan had said, they indeed made quite a bit more money, which meant that maintaining this price was reasonable for a while.

She had made a major contribution to Erdao River Village’s side-business revenue.

He wanted to give her a bonus.

He was asking Gu Huai’an for advice on how much to give.

Gu Huai’an looked at Chu Zizhou with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "You’re asking me about such a simple problem?"

Of course, Chu Zizhou knew it was a simple question.

After returning, he would discuss with the people from the large unit headquarters, a bonus of around two hundred yuan would be very encouraging.

Chu Zizhou laughed a bit.

After deducting his own travel expenses and managing interpersonal costs, the large unit headquarters had a net income of three thousand yuan.

This could accomplish a lot.

Chu Zizhou felt a great sense of achievement.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you something. That last letter you sent me had so many bills inside. Look, I’m not even married, don’t have a girlfriend, and I was precisely unsure about how well the straw hats would sell, worried they might not sell at all, so I just gave all the military payment certificates you gave me to Song Yunuan. If these straw hats didn’t sell, it would be like giving her the bonus."

Chu Zizhou really wanted to say something vulgar, which was: like pulling down your pants to fart, totally unnecessary!

But where would he dare say that now?

It was rare for Gu Huai’an to be so busy and still listen to him talk.

"Song Yunuan said, ’Thank you, Brother Huai’an.’"

Gu Huai’an lifted his eyes to look at Chu Zizhou.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It’s she who calls you Brother Huai’an, not me."

Gu Huai’an pursed his lips, trying hard not to let the corners of his mouth curl upward.

The book in his hand snapped shut and was placed on the desk, and he stood up.

With a cold and clear gaze, he said to Chu Zizhou, "I still have to preside over a meeting, goodbye!"

Chu Zizhou waved his paw at him, and said woodenly, "Goodbye!"

Watching that tall and clear-cut figure gradually move away.

If he wasn’t mistaken, were Huai’an’s steps light?

Chu Zizhou almost imperceptibly sighed.

Then he remembered he still had things to do.

So, he went off to find Aunt Zhu Mann.

But unexpectedly, Aunt Zhu Mann had gone to Nanshan County Town.

It was said that Nanshan First Electronics Factory was about to start production soon.

It was set to manufacture precision electronic components, supplying both domestic demand and Xiangjiang.

Before even starting production, they already had a thick stack of orders.

This was the first electronics factory in Nanshan County Town.

He just didn’t expect Aunt Zhu Mann would go there.

Chu Zizhou wanted to talk to Aunt Zhu Mann about Song Ting’s situation, but he had been hesitant.

Mainly, he wanted Song Ting to have even better prospects.

Actually, the phrase Gu Huai’an had used should have been said by him.

He was actually not really familiar with Song Ting, but was rather more acquainted with her family members.

Like with Song Yunuan, he was genuinely familiar.

Abandoning other relationships, one can be friends of that kind.

But she hardly ever spoke with Song Ting.

Yet he truly admired Song Ting.

This golden voice would be buried in Nanshan County Town.

If Aunt Zhu Mann could take her as a disciple, that would make a difference.

She would have a bigger, higher stage to showcase her abilities.

Chu Zizhou didn’t even know what he really wanted to do.

Coming back was not easy, and he had to visit Xiaomin, who was now recuperating at home.

A real man dares to act and take responsibility; since he had returned, he needed to apologize to Xiaomin and Xiao Min’s mother.

Although Xiao Min’s mother gave him several stern looks, her attitude was still somewhat acceptable.

This matter should be considered over.

Then Chu Zizhou heard that Yao Hai had been arrested.

It was said that his ability to pass off fakes as real was exceptional.

The artifacts he was responsible for had almost all been switched by him with fakes.

The real ones that he took were sold through secret channels.

Daring to do such things in perilous times, he probably wouldn’t ever get out in this lifetime.

Or maybe Beidu is just that eventful, with something new happening every day, whether inside or outside the circle.

He also heard that Su Junze and Lin Qing had a conflict.

The main reason being that Su Junze had slept with a girl named Hu Xiaomei.

It was even said that Lin Qing, who had rushed back overnight from out of town, caught them.

The Su family was satisfied with Lin Qing.

Lin Qing had already graduated from university and was interning at the garment factory her mother had previously established.

Almost everyone there was one of Lin Qing’s mother’s people.

Speaking of which, Lin Qing’s mother was also a formidable woman.

It’s a pity that she met a scumbag and ended up like that.

So, Lin Qing’s luck wasn’t good either.

Why would she encounter such things?

But Su Junze’s mother did not like Hu Xiaomei and looked down on her immensely. The matter is being settled privately, but no matter how it’s resolved, Su Junze and Lin Qing could not possibly get back to how they were before.

After hearing about this incident, Chu Zizhou knew Lin Qing had gone to Nanshan County Town.

To look for Song Yunuan?

That was the most likely possibility.

And as a result, she lost her husband and suffered defeat.

-----------------

Lin Qing regretted it, truly regretted it.

She had foolishly gone to trouble Song Yunuan.

If she hadn’t gone to Nanshan County, such things would not have happened.

As for the future, it might not be important. What mattered was that at that moment, she wasn’t there. If she had been, she could have taken care of the drunk Su Junze, and none of this would have happened.

Now she and Su Junze had fallen out.

Nothing she said really mattered.

Lin Qing sat on the sofa in front of the window, staring blankly into the distance, her mind replaying the words Song Yunuan had said to her.

Regret as she might, Lin Qing dared not do anything now.

That girl Song Yunuan was a bit uncanny.

She asked around, and Hu Xiaomei had no idea who Song Yunuan was.

Before that night at Erdao River Village, there was nothing between Su Junze and Hu Xiaomei.

Lin Jia said coldly beside her, "How many times have I explained to you? Don’t take your anger out on the Song family. Last time I even brought gifts to the Song family, trying to mend the relationship.

And look at you, taking a fake Jade Ruyi to Asheng, a five-year-old kid. How could you feel right asking him those questions, Qing’er? Why couldn’t you talk to me before leaving?"

Lin Jia didn’t mention Su Junze’s affair to her, only mentioned the Song family.
