The world of film and television starts from a young age

Chapter 608 Escape, farewell, return to Yanjing

Halfway through the drink, Gong Weize, who was a little drunk, began to deliberately lead the topic.

"Bingkun, you have stayed in Yanjing, the capital, for two years. Is Yanjing much better than ours?"

"In terms of prosperity, Yanjing is indeed much more prosperous than ours, but hometown is hometown after all, no matter how good other cities are, it is not as important as hometown in my heart."

"It's still good for you. After being admitted to university, you will have a bright future in the future, but those of us can't do it. We will be bound in this small place of Jichun for the rest of our lives."

As the capital of Jiangliao Province, Jichun City is actually not too small, but it is naturally far behind the capital of Yanjing in all aspects.

And it is undeniable that there is indeed a big gap between Jiangliao Province and other provincial capital cities.

Gong Wei sighed: "If nothing else, let's talk about the economy of our Jichun City. Now there are many state-owned factories that are not profitable. If it is not for the support of the state, I am afraid that they will not be able to persist. But even so, There are also many workers who are now idle at home, and there is no difference between being laid off and being laid off."

It's still 80 years, and the era of the working class is not over yet, but the signs are already beginning to be seen.

Now the efficiency of each factory has begun to decline to varying degrees. In the past, workers worked hard, but now, many people go to work just to dawdle.

Although many people feel that it doesn't matter because they are well-organized, those who are truly far-sighted have realized that the current situation is getting worse and worse.

Both Sun Chanchao and Xiao Guoqing agreed with Gong Weize's words.

"Uncle Little Gong is right. Take our timber factory as an example. The current work is less than half of what it used to be. Going to work every day is like playing."

Sun Chanchao and Xiao Guoqing are about 30 years old, when they are in the prime of life, although everyone likes to rest, the problem is that they cannot always rest.

Because the price of doing nothing all the time is that not only has the salary not increased, but it is also not available. When it is good, the salary is paid every two months, and when it is bad, the salary is paid every three or four months.

Everyone has to support their families. Who can bear such a salary.

Zhou Chen didn't say anything. This is the tide of the times, and it cannot be resisted by one person's strength. Especially for a relatively backward place like Jichun, most people still have hope, thinking that this is only a temporary predicament, and it will be better in the future of.

Gong Wei blushed, and said rather embarrassedly: "Bingkun, I invite you to come here today. In fact, uncle wants to ask you to help me out with ideas. You are a college student and you have lived in a place like Yanjing for two years. , the vision must be much better than those of us country bumpkins."

"No, Uncle Gong, you think highly of me."

Zhou Chen had expected Gong Weize's request, so he was not surprised at all.

"You said, if I can help, I will not refuse."

Life is a matter of sophistication, and the folks in the big hometown have been begging for so many years, and if they just help out with ideas, it is not a big deal.

Although they have already moved out of the optical film, Zhou Chen knows that his parents are still thinking about the optical film. Based on his understanding of the two elders, they definitely want to return to the optical film in the future.

In this way, it is also necessary to have a good relationship with the neighbors.

Seeing that Zhou Chen agreed, Gong Wei said, "It's my nephew Gong Bin. You guys grew up watching him, and you all know what he's like."

Gong Bin is the son of Gong Weize's eldest brother. Because he witnessed his father vomiting blood and died when he was young, he was greatly stimulated, so that he had mental problems. He has been living with his uncle Gong Weize for these years.

"Before he was frightened by Uncle Xiong, which led to an accident in the soy sauce factory. The factory wanted to fire him. I went to Cao Debao and asked him for help, but it was useless. In the end, Gong Bin was fired. .”

"In the past two months, Gong Bin has been staying at home, talking all day long and shrinking. I am worried that if this continues, his condition will become more serious. I want to find him a job again, but I Now that I can't protect myself, where can I find him a job?"

"Bingkun, I know you are capable. It was easy for you to work in the publishing house back then, and you must have known a lot of people after working for so many years. I was wondering if I could ask you to help Gong Bin work in the publishing house. Even if it is a temporary worker, as long as he is not allowed to stay at home, if he continues to stay, he will really have problems."

Facing Gong Wei's expectant eyes, Zhou Chen sighed: "Uncle Gong, it's not that I don't want to help you with this matter, you also know that I have left the publishing house for more than two years, and you must be better than me when it comes to things like people leaving tea cold." Understand, the most important thing is that my former immediate boss has now relegated to the second line, and the work of the publishing house is a radish and a pit, even if I want to help, I don’t have the ability.”

"That's it."

Gong Wei was disappointed immediately, and sighed: "Actually, I just want to find a job for Gong Bin. It doesn't matter if you earn more or less. He is the only son of my elder brother. As an uncle, I really can't bear to see him." something happened."

These words are indeed sincere, no matter what other aspects of him are, he really cares more about his only nephew than his own child.

If Gong Bin was a normal person with no problems, it wouldn't be so difficult to find a job;
But the problem is, Gong Bin is mentally ill, who dares to take him, if something happens at work, who can take the responsibility?
This is also Zhou Chen's concern. If he is really looking for a job, he can help him completely.

Among other things, the logistics business of Shuiziliu has no problem with someone; and soon, Shao Jingwen will help the publishing house to open a restaurant, so it is not a problem to recruit someone.

But one of these two is a former partner with a good relationship, and the other is a kind old leader. He doesn't want to get them into trouble because of Gong Bin.

"Uncle Gong, I actually think that Gong Bin doesn't necessarily have to go to work in the factory. His personality is not suitable for communicating with others. You can find him some work and let him do it at home."

When Gong Wei heard it, he became interested: "Bingkun, what do you mean when you say you are working at home?"

Zhou Chen said: "I think that although Gong Bin is soft-tempered, he is still quite careful. You can find him some manual work, so that you can make money and don't have to let him go out to work hard. After a few years, when the policy is loosened, you can still do it." Open a small shop for him and sell some things."

Now is not the age of the Internet decades later, there are too few things that can make money at home, and manual work is relatively simple.

Gong Wei directly ignored the latter sentence. Selling things would be speculative, and he didn't dare to think about it.

"Bingkun, Gong Bin can really do manual work? Where can we find this handicraft?"

"As long as the money is not too small, anyone can do manual work. As for where this handicraft is available, I know a few places. My wife and my mother have done it before. The reputation is pretty good, but you need to discuss it yourself."

When Gong Wei heard that Zhou Chen and his family had done it before, he felt relieved, and asked, "Then tell me, I'll go back and discuss it with Gong Bin."

As far as he was concerned, he didn't expect Gong Bin to make much money, as long as he was not allowed to idle and think wildly.

In Gong Bin's situation, he has already made psychological preparations. Getting married is already a delusion, as long as he can live well and not cause trouble.

"Okay, those places are..."

After talking about Gong Bin, Gong Wei hesitated and talked about another matter.

"Bingkun, let me tell you about my affairs, catching up and National Day. You can help me analyze and analyze. I am suspended now. Will there be a chance to recover in the future?"

Compared with Gong Bin's matter, this matter is the main purpose of his coming to Zhou Chen today.

Although many people jokingly call him a little policeman, only he knows how convenient he will be in this position.

Official establishment, not low salary, and various benefits, most importantly, face.

Since he became a film police officer, many people have given him gifts during the holidays, so even though he is the only one working in their family, they can still support a large family.

But it has been two months since he was suspended from the report. This period of time is really different from the past, so he really wants to resume his original job.

It's just that he also knows that it is impossible to do it with his own ability, so he can only ask others to help.

People who played well in the past were either incompetent or unwilling to help him, so he never achieved his goal.

Desperate, he thought of Zhou Chen. He didn't think Zhou Chen could help him, but he wanted to use Zhou Chen to connect with Zhou Bingyi.

Zhou Bingyi's old father-in-law is now the number one leader, not to mention restoring him to the status of a police officer, even raising him to a few levels, he thinks there is hope.

Who is Zhou Chen? As soon as Gong Wei opened his mouth, he knew his purpose.

"Uncle Gong, I really don't understand this matter. You also know that I studied medicine in university. I really don't understand the situation in this system."

Gong Wei winked at Sun Chanchao and Xiao Guoqing, wanting them to help intercede.

But Sun Chanchao just pretended not to understand, and Xiao Guoqing scratched his head even more. Although he is stupid, he is not very stupid. Gong Wei has a good relationship with them, but they obviously have a better relationship with Zhou Chen.

Gong Wei saw that Sun Chanchao and Xiao Guoqing were not strong enough, so he could only go to the battle in person and raise the topic.

"Bingkun, do you think it's possible to find your elder brother? Your elder brother is Gaoguan Hao's son-in-law. A small matter like me is just a matter of one sentence."

Zhou Chen wondered: "Uncle Gong, if it's something else, I will definitely help you find a solution, but I really can't do anything about it. I am me, and my elder brother is my elder brother. You really can't help me?" use."

Gong Wei said anxiously: "Bingkun, you are brothers. Isn't it just a matter of a word for you to ask him for help?"

Zhou Chen sighed: "Uncle Gong, I'm not afraid of shame. To tell you the truth, I don't have a good relationship with my elder brother. I can't tell you why, but let me ask him to do something. I can tell you for sure. , is extremely unlikely."

"No way, you are brothers, so Bingyi won't even help his brothers, right?"

Gong Wei obviously didn't believe it. He felt that Zhou Chen was deliberately avoiding it and didn't want to help.

Zhou Chen also knew that his convincing power was very low when he said such words, but it was absolutely impossible for him to go to Zhou Bingyi, or even Hao Gaoguan for help.

"Uncle Gong, I know you may not believe me, so how about this, you can go directly to my elder brother Zhou Bingyi, he lives in the provincial compound now, you can go there to find him."

It was hard for Zhou Chen to tell about his falling out with Zhou Bingyi, so he was going to throw the question to Zhou Bingyi.

Gong Wei looked embarrassed: "Bingkun, you're embarrassing me. That's the provincial compound, and I can't get in at all."

"Who let you in, you can call the person out through the security. I told you the method, but you'd better not mention me, otherwise he may not help you."

Gong Wei looked skeptical, always feeling that there was something in Zhou Chen's words.

Zhou Chen didn't explain more, but Gong Wei had no choice but to drink and eat with Zhou Chen.

After parting with Gong Wei, the three of Zhou Chen pushed their bicycles and walked on the road.

Xiao Guoqing asked suspiciously: "Kun'er, Uncle Gong is quite nice, why don't you help him?"

Seeing Sun Chanchao staring at him with a puzzled expression, Zhou Chen knew they had misunderstood.

"You think I don't want to help? We are so familiar, and I don't need to lie to you. I just had a fight with my elder brother yesterday, and it was quite fierce. What do you think I can do?"

Both Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao were greatly surprised: "Did you quarrel with Brother Bingyi? Why?"

"I won't talk about the specific details, it's annoying."

Zhou Chen waved his hands and changed the subject: "It's you two. From what you said, the wood factory is getting worse and worse. Don't you think about the way out?"

Sun Chanchao and Xiao Guoqing looked at each other in blank dismay: "Kun'er, why did you think of asking us this?"

"Didn't you yourself find that the timber factory is getting worse and worse? Don't you think it will close down one day?"

"Impossible. The timber factory is still a state-owned factory. Even if the efficiency is not good, the country will definitely find a way to change it. This is the official establishment."

After all, Sun Chanchao and Xiao Guoqing were limited by their money years and could not see the future at all, so although they complained, they never thought of leaving.

"There will be a day when the official establishment will be cheap. We Jichun can't see anything now, but Yanjing has begun to allow private business. I think this will be the mainstream in the future; just relying on work, if it is a good factory. , that’s okay, but for a backward enterprise like a timber factory, with such a small salary a month, can it really support a family?”

Zhou Chen really thought about these two, because he knew that the timber factory would soon fail. If he was laid off at this time, he could get a good amount of compensation, but if he waited until the day it closed down, that would really The best is chicken and egg.

He knew that these two friends stayed in the plot until the end, so that both of them had a very difficult life in the end. Sun Chanchao worked even harder. He got cancer when he was around 40 years old. Suicide by lying on the rails.

Out of so many years of friendship, he certainly doesn't want these two youngsters to 'repeat the same mistakes'.

But it was doomed that his idea was superfluous. Sun Chanchao and Xiao Guoqing still had confidence in the timber factory and rejected Zhou Chen's proposal.

"Okay, you decide for yourself. If the timber factory really collapses one day, remember to find me. Between us brothers, I will definitely help."

Sun Chanchao said with a smile: "Of course, you are the most promising of all my friends. When the time comes, I can't get along anymore. I will definitely find you. You have to find me a good job."

Xiao Guoqing also nodded in agreement again and again.

Zhou Chen naturally patted his chest and agreed.

In the next few days, neither Zhou Bingyi nor Hao Dongmei came back, and the Zhou family also had a tacit understanding not to mention them.

Until the eighth day of the lunar new year, Zhou Zhigang was about to leave for the mountain city.

On the train station platform, Zhou Chen, Zhou Rong, Li Suhua and Feng Huacheng bid farewell to Zhou Zhigang.

Zhou Zhigang looked around full of thoughts, but unfortunately, he didn't see the person he wanted to see.

Seeing that the time was coming, Zhou Zhi sighed quietly just now, and then said to Li Suhua: "Fucking mother, Bingyi probably won't come. When you get to Yanjing, you have to enlighten him well. We are all a family. Don't he hold grudges against Kun'er so much."

Li Suhua said with red eyes: "I see, don't worry about Bingyi, but you, after you go to the mountain city, you must take care of yourself. You are no longer the same as before, don't work so hard, pay attention to your body , when you retire, you still want to take care of your grandson and great-grandson with me."

Zhou Zhigang laughed loudly: "I've been working there for over ten years, so don't worry about me. I know my own body best."

He is a workaholic, and he often forgets other things while working, but he thinks this is a good thing, and he can't bear it if he is really idle every day.

"Bingkun, Rong'er."

Zhou Zhigang looked at his children again, and said slowly: "You have all grown up, don't be like before, take good care of your mother, take good care of your children, if your mother suffers any grievances, see if I don't deal with it you."

Zhou Rong was already crying like a pear blossom, and hugged Zhou Zhigang tightly: "Dad."

Zhou Zhigang also patted her with red eyes, and said softly: "You are so grown up, you still look like a child."

"Woo, I will always be a child in front of you." Zhou Rong choked up.

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but nodded vigorously to Zhou Zhigang: "Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Mom."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Zhou Zhigang picked up the bag on the ground, and finally looked at several people reluctantly, turned his head and left, and boarded the train.

It wasn't until the train carrying Zhou Zhigang left that Zhou Chen was ready to leave the train station.

But before they got out of the train station, they saw a familiar figure running quickly, it was Zhou Bingyi.

Seeing Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Rong couldn't help complaining immediately: "Brother, why did you come here? Dad has already left."

When Zhou Bingyi heard that Zhou Zhi had just left, he immediately became disappointed.

"Let's go, why don't you wait for me..."

Seeing his distraught look, Zhou Chen snorted coldly, Zhou Bingyi knew exactly when Zhou Zhigang was leaving today.

But he clearly knew the time, but he still came a step late, which showed that he didn't put this matter first at all. He didn't need to think about it, and he must have used the image of his good son-in-law in Hao's house.

Zhou Bingyi's actions these past few days really disgusted him. He didn't even care about his biological parents. He stayed at the house of the parents-in-law of high-ranking officials, and he didn't know what Zhou Bingyi was thinking.

Zhou Chen walked away from Zhou Bingyi's side without saying a word, Zhou Rong also complained a few words, and pulled Feng Huacheng to leave together.

Only Li Suhua stayed behind, staring blankly at his eldest son.

"mom."

Zhou Bingyi was flustered by his mother, "I'm sorry, Mom, I really didn't mean to..."

"It's okay, Bingyi. Mom didn't blame you, and your dad didn't blame you either. It's just that he was still thinking about you before he left."

Zhou Bingyi's eyes were red: "Dad, I'm sorry for you, Mom, I'm sorry for you too..."

Even though she was dissatisfied with the elder son's actions, but seeing the sad appearance of the elder son, the trace of dissatisfaction in Li Suhua's heart quickly disappeared with the wind.

"Bingyi, don't be sad, just remember, no matter what you do, your dad and I will support you, and when you arrive in Yanjing, write to your dad and say good things, you are always his most important thing children."

As the person next to him, Li Suhua knew Zhou Zhigang best. After leaving this time, Zhou Zhigang was relieved of both Zhou Chen and Zhou Rong, but he was very worried about Zhou Bingyi.

Because of what Zhou Chen did, Zhou Zhigang was worried that Zhou Bingyi would be wronged in the Hao family. When he thought of his son being a cow and a horse for someone else's family, how could he not feel uncomfortable.

After returning home, Zhou Chen and the others also started to pack up, because they all have to leave tomorrow, the train in the afternoon.

This time I went to Yanjing, and I don't know when I will be able to come back again, so the house must be tidied up.

Zhou Chen went to Shao Jingwen's house again in the afternoon, gave him a key to his house, and asked Shao Jingwen to help look after the house.

Immediately afterwards, he went to Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen's place again. After going this time, he was taught a good lesson by the two elders.

Turns out they already knew.Senior official Hao got sick because of Zhou Chen's anger. The two were both worried and angry. They felt that Zhou Chen was too thoughtless and impulsive.

Facing the reprimand of the two elders, Zhou Chen could only bow his head and admit his mistake. He knew that they were doing it for his own good and worried about him.

After everything was ready, Zhou Chen's family boarded the train to Yanjing in the afternoon of the ninth day of the ninth day.

This time Zhou Bingyi didn't go with them, but Cai Xiaoguang walked with them licking his face.

Of course, Zhou Chen didn't save on train tickets, all he bought were sleeper berths, and this time he had to ask someone to help him buy so many sleeper berths.

When Zhou Chen and the others arrived in Yanjing, it was already the afternoon of the next day. Fortunately, before Zhou Chen came, he had already talked to Wan Shibing on the phone, and asked him to arrange two cars to pick them up, which saved him a lot of trouble .

That night, after Zhou Chen sent his family home, he went out with Wan Shibing, saying that he called someone to get together, and by the way, he brought Zhou Chen to meet some new friends.

Zhou Chen knew that the friends Wan Shibing mentioned should be the same as him, they were all second-generation officials, so he didn't reject him. If he wanted to work in Yanjing in the future, maybe these people would be able to help him.

As for whether he will be discriminated against by these second generations, then there is no need to worry. With his experience and knowledge, let alone dealing with these second generations, even their parents, he has a lot of ways.

Although he has never been in an official career, his contacts in the past are not lacking in high-ranking officials. Even some big shots in the country, he has met them all.

With a wider vision and more knowledge, the experience will naturally be enriched, and the confidence will be sufficient. It can definitely be said that Mount Tai collapsed before and the color remains unchanged.
