Chapter 2447

Zhou Andong came to the third courtyard and saw the lights in Zhou Anqin's study were still on. He reached out and pushed open the door, and several little girls were discussing something together, which made him frown.

"It's almost nine o'clock, why aren't you resting yet? I'm not in a hurry."

Several girls looked up, and Zheng Weihong spoke first: "Brother, the guests have left!"

Zhou Andong nodded: "Alright, don't mess around, hurry back and wash up and rest."

"Brother!" Zhou Anqin said: "The police uniform draft is done, come and take a look."

"So fast?" Zhou Andong said unexpectedly: "It was designed in just one day?"

Huang Liming said with a smile: "Police uniforms are standard, there isn't that much nonsense. Besides, Xiao Qin had already finished the first draft, we just designed according to your ideas, it was actually very fast."

Zhou Andong walked over quickly and took the thick stack of design drafts. Winter clothes, summer clothes, men's clothes, women's clothes, long sleeves, short sleeves, including police caps, epaulets, cap badges, etc., there was no difference from the 99-style police uniform of the previous life, almost exactly the same.

"Good, not bad, not bad, very good!" Zhou Andong said happily: "After your design work is all completed, I will add a bonus of one thousand to each of you."

"One thousand bonus?" Several little girls' eyes lit up instantly, and Mu Yun cheered: "Thank you, Brother!"

"Alright!" Zhou Andong shook the design draft in his hand: "I'm taking it away, you guys rest early too."

"By the way!" Zhou Andong stopped at the door and turned back: "Tomorrow is Sunday, you guys take a day off, you can rest at home, or go shopping, but you must come home for dinner at night."

Saying that, Zhou Andong laughed: "There are guests coming home tomorrow, the dinner is very rich. If you don't come back for dinner tomorrow night, that's your loss, don't blame me for not telling you."

"Ah?" Mu Yun hesitated: "There are guests tomorrow, how can we eat at home."

Zhou Anqin explained: "It's my brother's childhood friend, who moved to Jingcheng more than ten years ago. Saying they are guests, actually they are no different from family."

"There are no such rules here." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "You are Xiao Qin's classmates, good friends, good sisters. Since you call me brother, then you are my sisters. No matter who comes, what's the problem with having a home-cooked meal together?"

After speaking, Zhou Andong turned around and walked out of the study, then entered the reception hall next door. He sat on the sofa, checked the time, it was already 9:30, and he didn't know if Wu Huilin was in the office.

Zhou Andong grabbed the phone and tried to dial it. Unexpectedly, it was connected after two rings: "Boss, calling me so late, what's the important matter?"

"Sigh!" Zhou Andong sighed long, as if there were endless words in his heart but didn't know where to start, the sigh revealing endless helplessness and disappointment.

"It's Gu Bing, he has fallen." Zhou Andong's tone was heavy, as if he still couldn't believe this matter, "During his tenure as the secretary of the woolen mill, he not only accepted eating and drinking banquets but also accepted sexual bribery."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong paused, and then sighed again: "I really wanted to hide this matter for him, after all, he is my brother-in-law." Zhou Andong's voice suddenly trembled, the helplessness and disappointment appearing more real: "But you are my wife's best friend and the president of the group. If I don't tell you, my conscience really can't pass."

Zhou Andong's tone was full of contradiction and struggle. This acting skill definitely wasn't comparable to those little fresh meats in the later generations, and it was already on par with those old drama bones. This guy was still thinking, if there's a chance, should he find Yuyue to walk through the back door and get a role in a TV series.

"You don't know how bad my mood has been these two days." Zhou Andong's voice became lower: "I hate Gu Bing's lack of ambition, and I hate myself for why I want to hide it against my conscience.

My heart feels like there are two little people fighting and tearing, one telling me to tell you quickly, one telling me to keep the secret, which makes me miserable. After getting off work at night, I didn't even eat, and just sat in the courtyard smoking.

I smoked one after another, from getting off work until now, I have already smoked three packs of cigarettes. Finally, I still couldn't bear the condemnation of my conscience, and decided to call you and tell you the truth."

Zhou Andong's tone became firm: "No matter what, I can't let such a thing continue, I must let you know the truth."

"Pfft!" Wu Huilin suddenly laughed: "Comrade Zhou Andong, what is your intention in provoking the relationship between me and Old Gu?"

"President Wu, why don't you know what's good for you?" Zhou Andong blinked, looking very aggrieved: "I have such a sense of justice, you actually slander me like this, it's too heartbreaking and disappointing."

Wu Huilin snorted: "Last night, my Old Gu called me!"

"Ah?" Zhou Andong's voice suddenly rose: "That bastard has a conscience, personally calling to confess and admit his mistake. You must discipline him well in the future, and he can't make mistakes again."

"..."

Wu Huilin gritted her teeth: "I haven't called my best friend for several days, it's not ten o'clock yet, she shouldn't be asleep, I'll call her now and talk about how her cousin accepted eating and drinking banquets and sexual bribery."

"These are all small things, there's no need to disturb my wife." Zhou Andong gave a dry laugh, hurriedly changing the subject: "My classmate Sun Ming, his younger brother is getting married on the 18th, I can't go back. You have Huang Yali move a set of home theater to the electronics factory and send it over, and also pack a 500 red envelope."

Wu Huilin snorted: "Anything else?"

"No!" Zhou Andong didn't talk nonsense anymore, and hung up the phone very decisively.

Then he took out a cigarette and lit it, thinking about Huang Yali, his own secretary. He originally lent her to his little aunt Zhou Wanyu to assist her in acquiring the Jiangzhou Textile Factory. But it had been so long, should he take Huang Yali back?

Importantly, Huang Yali and Wang Wentian were still in love, and it wasn't a thing to let them be separated for so long. Then, he thought of Yu Zhan, this time he would give him a few more days off to accompany Sun Xiaohui well, otherwise if that woman saw him, she didn't know how she would belittle him.

Thinking and thinking, Zhou Andong sighed. He was really worried as a boss, even having to manage employees' love affairs, no one else could do this.

At this time, footsteps came from outside, a figure appeared in front of the reception hall, and then the door was pushed open, and Gu Bing walked in.

"What are you doing here, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

Gu Bing exuded a strong smell of alcohol, walked to the sofa swaying, sat down, and then reached out to pick up the cigarette on the coffee table and lit it.

Zhou Andong glanced at Gu Bing: "Why are you back so late?"

"Hiccup!" Gu Bing looked at Zhou Andong, just about to speak, but suddenly let out a full burp, spraying out breath with a strong smell.

Zhou Andong leaned back, then hurriedly moved to the side: "Damn it, stay away from me."

Gu Bing gave a giggle: "Tonight, Tan Sheng invited me to dinner, Sun Baocun will come to inspect the woolen mill on Tuesday."

Zhou Andong laughed: "They finally couldn't sit still."

The next day, Zhou Andong had Wang Wentian and Yu Zhan drive and pick up Feng Ermin's whole family.

Yuan Liying helped Old Zhou, and Zhou Andong, Xiao Qin, and the fourth child, Su Su, stood at the gate to welcome them.

Two cars stopped, Feng Ermin got out of the car first, then helped Dong Fengying down.

Yuan Liying walked over quickly, grabbed Dong Fengying's hand, and the corners of her eyes instantly became wet.

"Sister-in-law, it's been more than ten years, you've aged a lot."

Dong Fengying's eyes also contained tears, tightly grabbing Yuan Liying's hand: "I'm sixty years old, how can I not age? On the contrary, you, looking at you, you're about the same as ten years ago, still very young."

Having left home for more than ten years, now seeing her family, and still her old sister, Dong Fengying was even more excited than Yuan Liying.

"Sister-in-law!" Feng Ermin walked over and said: "I am Ermin, do you still remember?"

"How can I not remember!" Yuan Liying said unpleasantly: "Do you think your sister-in-law has Alzheimer's? You guys left Tanghezi only ten years ago, how can I not remember?"

Feng Ermin gave a giggle, Yuan Liying raised her hand, tapped Feng Ermin's head lightly, and then laughed: "When you were young, you and Dongzi, and that stinky boy Da Zhen, would cause trouble and get beaten every three days. In a blink of an eye, you guys have grown so big."

"Indeed, I have a wife and a son." Feng Ermin turned around and hugged his son, then pulled his wife: "Wife, call sister-in-law!"

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Pei Fengyuan called respectfully.

Feng Ermin shook the son he was holding: "Son, call grandma!"

Feng Jun blinked, tilted his head to look at Dong Fengying, then looked at Yuan Liying, hesitated for a while before calling: "Liu Laolao!"

"Good, good!" Yuan Liying took out a handful of chocolates from her pocket and stuffed them into the child's arms.

"Sister-in-law!" Feng Yumin walked to Yuan Liying with a smile and called affectionately.

"Are you Yumin?" Yuan Liying grabbed Feng Yumin's hand, looked at her carefully, and said with emotion: "In a blink of an eye, the little girl from back then has grown so big."

Feng Yumin looked at Zhou Andong and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Dongzi is already a father, and I'm still three years older than him."

After speaking, she pulled the Shang Peixin beside her: "Sister-in-law, this is my husband, his name is Shang Peixin."

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Shang Peixin also bowed respectfully.

"Fangfang!" Feng Yumin pulled her daughter in front of her: "Call grandma!"

Shang Fang was lively and cheerful, not afraid of strangers at all: "Liu Laolao!"

"Good!" Yuan Liying still took out a handful of chocolates from her pocket: "This is for you."

"Thank you, grandma!" Shang Fang thanked crisply, then carefully stuffed the chocolate into her little pocket.

"Sister-in-law!" After they finished chatting, Old Zhou walked over slowly, looked at Dong Fengying and said: "Big brother has been gone for so many years, you alone with the children, you must have suffered a lot, right?"

"It's all in the past!" Dong Fengying smiled, looked at Old Zhou's leg: "It's just, Xiaoxin, what's wrong with your leg?"

Zhou Xiaoxin smiled and said: "An accident happened, my waist was injured. I lay on the kang for six years, last year Dongzi found an expert at the Jingcheng Military Region General Hospital to perform surgery on me, and now it's recovering quite well."

"Uncle!"

"Uncle!"

Feng Ermin and Feng Yumin called out, and then introduced their husbands.

Then, Yuan Liying called Zhou Anqin, Zhou Anning, and Su Su over.

"Auntie!" Zhou Anqin stood in front of Dong Fengying: "I am Zhou Anqin, can you still recognize me?"

Dong Fengying reached out and touched Zhou Anqin's face, full of smiles: "When you were young, you were thin and small. Now you are so tall, and so beautiful. If you didn't say it, I definitely wouldn't recognize you."

In the past two years, Zhou Anqin's changes were really too big. Don't say those who haven't seen her for more than ten years, even those who haven't seen her for three or five years wouldn't dare to recognize her.

"Auntie!" The fourth child was anxious and took the initiative to introduce herself: "My name is Zhou Anning, I'm eight years old this year, and I'll be in the second grade of elementary school when school starts."

Dong Fengying was a bit confused. This child is eight years old, and Zhou Xiaoxin had an accident and was paralyzed, logically speaking, she shouldn't be his little daughter. But the name was taken according to the 'An' character, which made her very suspicious.

Zhou Andong saw Dong Fengying's suspicion, hugged Su Su and explained with a smile: "When Anning was a few months old, my dad had an accident."

Dong Fengying suddenly realized, and followed with a smile: "Your name is Zhou Anning, you are so beautiful."

"Thank you, Auntie!" The fourth child said thank you seriously, and then pointed to Feng Jun and Shang Fang: "Do they call me aunt?"

Feng Yumin squatted down and pinched the fourth child's chubby little face, then pulled Shang Fang in front of her: "Fangfang, you call her little aunt."

"Little aunt!" Shang Fang's big eyes rolled around on the fourth child's face, and she called her little aunt very quickly.

"Jun!" Pei Fengyuan hurriedly pulled her son: "You have to call her little aunt!"

Feng Jun didn't hesitate this time: "Little aunt!"

"Yes!" The fourth child answered crisply, then took the hands of the two little guys with a smile: "Go, little aunt will take you to eat something delicious."

"Little aunt, little aunt!" Su Su didn't agree, struggling in Zhou Andong's arms.

"Wait a minute, you haven't called anyone yet." Zhou Andong patted the little girl's butt dissatisfiedly: "This you have to call grandma."

The little girl wanted to play with her little aunt, and called out without hesitation: "Liu Laolao!"

"Good, good!" Dong Fengying was very happy, took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into the little girl's arms: "Liu Laolao gives you a red envelope."

Zhou Andong didn't refuse, accepted it very happily, and pointed to Feng Yumin: "Call aunt!"

The little girl still didn't hesitate: "Aunt!"

"This child is too good-looking." Feng Yumin looked at the powder-carved and jade-carved Su Su, liked her very much, and also took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into the little girl's arms.

"I didn't expect my daughter to have so many gains." Zhou Andong said with a smile, and then looked at Feng Ermin: "You, as an uncle, can't have no red envelope, right?"

Feng Ermin took out the red envelope and shook it in front of Su Su: "Call uncle!"

"Uncle!" The little girl wasn't afraid at all.

"Yes!" Feng Ermin hurriedly put the red envelope into Su Su's arms.

"Little aunt!" Seeing that her dad didn't let her call anyone else, Su Su started struggling again.

Zhou Andong put Su Su on the ground, and the little girl moved her little legs and chased after them.

"Let's go!" Old Zhou said: "Don't stand at the gate, go in and chat."
