Chapter 1558: The Digital Mobile Phone Era

Liu Yahang laughed loudly, and the depressed mood he had just felt from Zhang Zuo's 'romantic fool' comment was swept away.

Zhou Andong's face was full of black lines, and he raised his hand to hit him. Zhang Zuo reflexively tilted his head and dodged it.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhang Zuo gestured in front of him with both hands. "Let's talk, don't just hit people, this is not what a gentleman does."

"You don't know anything!" Zhou Andong said with a dark face. "What I have with Qiuqiu is true love, unlike you guys, today with this one, tomorrow with that one, just playing around."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Zuo's mouth curled to his ears, and he said sarcastically, "You are true love, I don't understand, is that okay?"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Liu Yahang had just held back his laughter and thought about taking a sip of water, but as soon as he drank it, he saw Zhang Zuo's sarcastic look, and the water didn't go down much, all of it choked in his throat, and he almost choked to death, coughing violently.

Originally, Luo Yuezhen was also laughing along, but seeing Liu Yahang choking, she was scared to death, pounding his back and rubbing his chest, and it took a long time for Liu Yahang to recover.

"..."

Zhou Andong looked at him speechlessly. "Is it really that funny?"

Liu Yahang waved his hand, looked at Zhang Zuo, and said with a hoarse voice, "Little brother, I've decided to make you a friend."

"I also feel that we have the same temper." Zhang Zuo smiled. "I was also angry for the sake of a beauty back then, and fell out with my family."

Liu Yahang asked curiously, "What happened later?"

"Later?" Zhang Zuo looked sad. "I was caught back by my old man, tied to a tree in the courtyard, and whipped with a belt for half an hour. Poor me, my body was growing vigorously, how could it withstand such devastation?"

Zhou Andong said suspiciously, "Don't tell me you weren't an adult at that time."

"I was fourteen that year." Zhang Zuo said very angrily. "I pursued happiness, was I wrong?"

Zhou Andong's face turned black. "You were only fourteen, that was ten years ago. At that time, if the old man hadn't caught you back and whipped you, I estimate you would have died young."

Zhang Zuo opened his mouth, and finally sighed long. "Nothing needs to be said, it was the era that destroyed my happiness."

Zhou Andong was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot, and he was too lazy to ask about the grudges between the General Staff and General Logistics descendants.

It was nothing more than the big brothers on both sides falling in love with the same woman at the same time, and then both sides getting jealous.

This should have been something from Liu Yahang's period, it had been thirteen or fourteen years.

In the end, the winner held the beauty in his arms, while the loser was never reconciled, so they had been fighting ever since.

"Let's stop here today, I still have to meet two friends."

Zhou Andong stayed until eight o'clock, checked the time, and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

Then he raised his hand to call a waiter, asked for paper and a pen, and gave his home phone, office phone, and pager number to Liu Yahang.

Luo Yuezhen took out a business card from her bag. "This is the company phone and the mobile phone number, just call the company phone during the day."

Liu Yahang looked at the note in his hand. "Why don't you buy a mobile phone?"

"I'm poor, I don't have money to buy one." Zhou Andong said, taking the business card Luo Yuezhen handed over. "You guys chat, I'm leaving."

Zhang Zuo waved his hand. "Go, I'll chat with Brother Liu and Brother Zhou for a while."

"Slap!"

Zhou Andong turned back and slapped Zhang Zuo on the head.

This kid was hit until he saw stars, and in the desire to survive, he hugged his head tightly.

"Brother Dong, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I'll chat with Uncle for a while."

Zhou Andong snorted. "I still have things to do, this time it's like this, if there's a next time, I'll shave all the hair off your body."

"Hehehe..."

Zhang Zuo raised his head and gave Zhou Andong a silly smile. "It really was a slip of the tongue."

Zhou Andong didn't pay attention to him anymore, and said to Zhou Xianyong and Ye Xuanzhen, "Uncle, Miss Ye, you guys chat, I'm leaving."

Wang Wentian went out first to start the car and turned on the heater. By the time Zhou Andong got in, the car was already warm.

"Go to the Jinwan Hotel."

Zhou Andong leaned back in his chair. It was 1994, and in October, the head of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications took a Nokia 2110 and made China's first GSM call; the digital mobile phone era had begun.

By then he could buy them, and the group leadership should also be equipped with them. By next year, mobile phones wouldn't be just for show; although the phone bills were expensive, at least they would be networked in major cities and could be used.

…………………………

Wu Chao and five brothers were chatting in the room with Zhi Wanshan and two other people.

For Zhi Wanshan and the others, cooperating with Zhou Andong was the best choice.

First, there was no need to worry about funds; if they could really contract an oil well, there wouldn't be any mistakes due to funding problems.

Second was safety; Wu Chao was Zhou Andong's personal bodyguard, and his ability was definitely beyond doubt.

If they encountered danger, they definitely wouldn't stand by, and safety could be absolutely guaranteed.

Several people were chatting when the door was knocked, and Wu Chao said.

"It must be the Chairman."

A brother hurried over to open the door, and outside was indeed Zhou Andong and Wang Wentian.

"Chairman!"

Zhou Andong nodded to this brother and walked into the room.

"Chairman Zhou!"

"Chairman Zhou, Chairman Zhou!"

Zhi Wanshan and the other two hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Sorry!" Zhou Andong shook hands with them. "I was really too busy, I only just came over now."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhi Wanshan said with a smile. "It's the New Year, you must be busy, it was a bit abrupt for us to come over at this time."

Zhou Andong sat down. "Did you book the plane ticket for tomorrow?"

"Booked!" Wu Chao said. "The plane at 7:45 in the morning."

Zhou Andong nodded and looked at Zhi Wanshan and the others. "After arriving in Xiangjiang, Wu Chao will take you to find General Manager Qiu Dongfang, and she will arrange everything for you."

Zhi Wanshan said very gratefully, "Chairman Zhou, thank you so much. Without you, we would be blind when we go out. To say something discouraging, I'm not even sure if we could live to get there."

"We are partners, I will definitely arrange for you what I can arrange. But after leaving Xiangjiang and arriving in the Middle East, I won't be able to reach you, so you have to rely on yourselves."

Zhou Andong took the cigarette Zhi Wanshan handed him, and another person took a lighter to light it for him.

"However, you must remember. Making money is important, but it's not as important as your life. No matter what situation you encounter, you must prioritize safety."

"Don't worry." Zhi Wanshan said very solemnly. "We will definitely guarantee our own safety, after all, no matter how much money we make, it's no good if we don't have the life to spend it."

"Right!" Zhou Andong laughed. "Have you had dinner?"

"Had it." Zhi Wanshan said. "Brother Wu Chao went to the airport to pick us up, and we ate after arriving at the hotel."

"You ate quite early." Zhou Andong checked the time. "Let's go, let's go out and find a place to have some late-night snacks and have a drink, consider it a farewell for you."
