Chapter 1662: Return to Jiangzhou
"Fine!" Jian Qiu nodded: "If they push their noses to their faces, we won't want them."
Zhou Andong stood up, picked up Su Su, and kissed the little girl again.
"Even if we let them bear the demolition costs, I think they will agree." Zhou Andong put Su Su into Jian Qiu's arms: "They can't withstand the trouble of those old experts and old professors."
Gu Bing said with disdain: "Can't they find a place to rebuild it themselves, why must they give it to you?"
"The cost of reconstruction is much higher than demolition. If they are willing, I don't care."
Zhou Andong laughed and waved at the little girl.
"Su Su, say goodbye to Dad."
The little girl waved her little hand: "Daddy, goodbye!"
Looking at the little girl's innocent eyes and tender little face, Zhou Andong was really reluctant, but there were too many things, so he had to go even if he was reluctant.
"We are leaving."
Zhou Andong explained to Jian Qiu, walked out of the restaurant, and went to greet Grandpa, Grandma, and parents.
Originally, the old man and the old lady wanted to follow back to Jiangzhou. After all, they had been out for so long, saying they didn't miss home was a lie.
Zhou Andong didn't agree. If they went home, the eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law would definitely make trouble. Wait until the house in the city was decorated before going back.
The old lady insisted on going back, but the old man didn't agree, because he felt upset when thinking of the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and it was better to stay here quietly.
Besides, they knew quite a few old men and old ladies here, chatting, playing chess, and drinking tea was quite good.
At this time, a nanny came in, followed by someone, it was Yao Jun.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, I'm here to pay a late New Year's call, Happy New Year."
"Dajun!" Yuan Liying complained a bit: "Why didn't you come to stay at home last night, why stay at the hotel?"
"That's right." The old man said: "You are classmates with Dongzi, you often came to play at home when you were young, often didn't go home at night, why are you seeing outsiders now?"
"It's not that I see outsiders." Yao Jun gave a bitter smile: "A very good brother of mine, his daughter rolled down the hillside, and her lumbar muscles were damaged, the situation is similar to my uncle's.
Before the New Year, I told Dong Ge about this matter. After the New Year, my sister-in-law took them to the Military General Hospital and helped find connections. Arrived in Beijing yesterday, I went to the hospital to see the child."
Everyone suddenly realized, Yuan Liying asked: "How is the child, what did the doctor say?"
Yao Jun's mood seemed very good: "The doctor said it's not as serious as imagined, and the child is young, so the chance of recovery is very high."
"That's good." Old Zhou nodded: "As long as it can recover, it's good."
Yao Jun came to Old Zhou: "Uncle, how is your leg recovering?"
"Very good."
Old Zhou lifted his foot, put it on the ground, and then stood up slowly with both hands on the armrests of the wheelchair.
Yao Jun opened his eyes wide, looking at Old Zhou, moving his steps forward little by little.
After walking more than ten steps, Yuan Liying pushed the wheelchair over and let him sit down.
"Too good." Yao Jun was very happy: "Uncle, looking at this situation, it won't take a year to recover."
"Hoo!"
Old Zhou let out a long breath and said with a smile: "Hope so."
"Let's go!" Zhou Andong greeted the others who were still watching TV.
"We are leaving." Xiaobei put down the remote control and greeted the old man, the old lady, Yuan Liying, and Old Zhou.
"You hurry up and go." Yuan Liying said: "Drive slowly on the road."
Out of the living room, Zhou Andong asked Xiaobei: "Did you eat in the morning?"
"Ate!" Xiaobei came out with Zhou Andong: "I got up at six, practiced boxing with the fourth child for a while."
Zhou Andong laughed: "You really should practice, not for anything else, just to exercise your body."
The
Zhou Andong and Xiao Bei got into the car, and Jian Qiu said to Su Su: "Say goodbye to Daddy."
"Daddy!" The little girl waved her small hand: "Goodbye!"
"Goodbye." Zhou Andong opened the car window to bid his daughter farewell.
Yao Jun also got into his own car, exited the alley, met up with the others, and headed straight for Jiangzhou.
……………………
Jiangzhou is three to five degrees warmer than Jingcheng, but regardless, it is already the end of March, and the weather has turned mild.
When they arrived home, it was already past nine in the evening. Because they hadn't notified anyone, no one knew they were returning today.
The security guard, Old Zhao, was listening to the radio. Hearing the car horn outside, he got up and walked out.
When he saw Zhou Andong and Gu Bing getting out of the car, he hurriedly opened the main gate.
"Chairman, Vice Chairman, you've finally returned."
As the old fellow spoke, his voice became choked with emotion.
"Chairman, you've been gone for a month; you must have suffered terribly. Look, you've lost a whole circle of weight and gotten much darker."
Watching Old Zhao's display of genuine emotion, which showed no trace of acting, one really didn't know whether to be moved or to laugh.
"Old Zhao, everything is fine at home, right?"
"Everything is fine!" Old Zhao stood at attention: "With me here, not even a bottle cap could go missing."
"Good!" Zhou Andong waved his hand: "Go back to your shift; I'm going in."
Old Zhao trotted happily to push the gate open, letting the car drive in.
Then he looked at Zhou Andong with a hesitant expression, as if he had something to say.
Zhou Andong said: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Old Zhao scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Chairman, didn't you say before that you were going to transfer me to the new Qiaonan factory?"
"I almost forgot." Zhou Andong said: "Fine, I'll tell the Human Resources Department tomorrow to transfer you over there."
"Thank you, Chairman!" Old Zhao gave Zhou Andong a textbook salute.
Zhou Andong smiled helplessly and walked toward the dormitory building.
Because it was quite late, Xiao Bei stayed at Zhou Andong's place.
And Gu Bing also stayed one night in his former dormitory.
The next morning, Xiao Bei returned to Tanghezi.
Zhou Andong and Gu Bing ate at the cafeteria, and less than half an hour later, the entire group knew the Chairman had returned.
After finishing their meal and leaving the cafeteria, Gu Bing took out a cigarette and tossed one to Zhou Andong.
"When are you going to Shanghai?"
"Tomorrow!" Zhou Andong lit his cigarette: "I'll hold a meeting in a while to arrange the Ali investment matters, then go to the farm to give them a research and development task."
Gu Bing didn't ask what the R&D task was; he didn't understand it and couldn't be bothered to ask.
"Are you going to the industrial park, or staying here?"
"Let's go to the park." Zhou Andong started walking forward: "Everyone is over there; if I go there, it saves them from all having to run over here."
Gu Bing nodded: "I'll make a call to notify them first, so we can start the meeting as soon as we arrive."
At this moment, Wang Wentian drove the car over, but Zhou Andong and Gu Bing didn't get in; instead, they walked toward the main gate.
Upon reaching the gate, Zhou Andong made a call to Wu Huilin from the security office, asking her to notify everyone for a meeting.
