Chapter 2671

Zhou Andong and Zhou Guodong chatted for about an hour or so, saw that the time was about right, and Zhou Andong stood up to take his leave. His time was very tight, and Zhou Guodong coming to Jingcheng was no easy feat, so he definitely had many arrangements.

"Zhou Dong, you must not go back on your word—you must definitely go to Qiong Province in May next year."

Zhou Andong said helplessly: "I truly cannot guarantee the exact time, but I will definitely go next year, before August."

"Fine!" Zhou Guodong wanted Zhou Andong's promise; as for whether he could come in May, it wasn't important—just being able to come next year was enough.

Zhou Andong shook hands with Zhou Guodong, then turned to Zhou Qianyi and said: "Qianyi, you must take good care of entertaining the leader—everything he spends here, put it all on my personal account."

"Zhou Dong, thank you for your hospitality." Zhou Guodong said with a smile: "Tonight I'm going to the Jingcheng Office—there, personnel and vehicles are all convenient."

Zhou Andong nodded: "That's fine—when you leave, just let me know, and I'll set out a banquet to see you off."

"Forget the farewell banquet." Zhou Guodong waved his hand: "Next year when you go to Qiong Province, I will definitely let you taste our local delicacies."

The two chatted a few more sentences before Zhou Andong left. He took the sky ladder down to the first floor, and unexpectedly ran into Kong Liming.

"Zhou Dong!" Kong Liming immediately reached out his hand, hurried over two steps to meet him: "I thought you would come tomorrow morning."

Zhou Andong shook hands with Kong Liming: "I came because I have an important contract to sign, and I'm about to leave right away."

"Do you have any other important matters?" Kong Liming said: "If there's nothing important, I'll introduce you to a few friends—we'll find a place to gather later and have a drink?"

Zhou Andong looked at the people behind Kong Liming, among whom was an old acquaintance, Lian Xiangzhi, so he smiled and said: "I and Lian Zong are old friends—I've always wanted to find a time to have Lian Zong come out for a few drinks and chat. After all, he's a senior elder in the business world, a big brother—much experience is something we need to humbly learn from."

Lian Xiangzhi's eyes twitched violently at the corners—Zhou Andong was not a humble person. But hearing Zhou Andong's words just now made him feel uneasy, afraid that Zhou Andong this dog would dig a trap for him. After all, he had suffered several losses at Zhou Andong's hands, and he truly did not want to suffer again.

"Lian Zong!" Zhou Andong enthusiastically reached out his hand: "Long time no see—you still have your usual grace."

"Zhou Dong, you're being too polite." Lian Xiangzhi forced a smile on his face and shook hands with Zhou Andong: "Nowadays, everyone in the country knows you, Zhou Dong, are the God of Finance, roaming the international financial markets.

And your business battle with the two Ke Les—those textbook-style marketing moves—among us entrepreneurs, you've already been deified. I've always been studying, and truly, the more I study, the more I feel the depth of knowledge involved. So, to say learning and seeking advice—that's also us learning from and seeking advice from you, Zhou Dong."

"Lian Zong, your words are just too humble." Zhou Andong slightly shook his head, saying rather disapprovingly: "Without you, there would be no today's Lenovo. One could say you are the pioneer and founder of our nation's technological field."

Seeing Zhou Andong and Lian Xiangzhi mutually praising each other, Kong Liming's eyes flashed, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. While the other few people also had various expressions.

After all, those who could attend this discussion were absolutely elites from all walks of life—there wasn't a single fool among them. Seeing Zhou Andong and Lian Xiangzhi smiling brightly, chatting enthusiastically, they still sensed a hint of something odd.

"Zhou Dong, Lian Zong!" Kong Liming laughed and interrupted their mutual praise, since he had sensed the subtle atmosphere between them, it was naturally impossible to let them continue chatting—what if they chatted and chatted, sparked something, and exploded—what then: "The meeting will last three days—there's plenty of time to talk."

Kong Liming took Zhou Andong's arm, pointed to several others, and said: "Zhou Dong, let me introduce these few to you."

"Secretary Kong!" a man in his forties said: "Let me introduce myself."

Kong Liming laughed and stepped aside: "No problem!"

The middle-aged man took out a business card from his pocket, held it up with both hands before Zhou Andong: "Zhou Dong, I am Liu Xiangchun of Sichuan Province's Qiewang Group."

Zhou Andong took the card, apologetically said: "I didn't bring a business card—I'll bring it tomorrow to make it up to Director Liu."

"That's not necessary." Liu Xiangchun shook his head, smiling: "If there's anything you need Zhou Dong to help with, I'll just go to the wool factory to find you."

"No problem at all—whatever it is, as long as I can do it, I'll certainly spare no effort." Zhou Andong followed with a smile: "After the meeting disperses tomorrow, let's find a place to have a drink?"

"Good!" Liu Xiangchun readily agreed.

"Zhou Dong, I am..."

"Zhou Dong, I am..."

"..."

Then several others began introducing themselves, one after another handing over their business cards to Zhou Andong. And what surprised Zhou Andong was that among these people, there were actually two members of the Taishan Society.

"Several bosses, I've set up a club—it will open at year-end, and I hope all you bosses will come to support it."

"No problem!" several people said in turn, having the opportunity to get close and friendly with Zhou Andong—how could they possibly refuse?

"Fine!" Zhou Andong checked the time: "I still have something to do first—I'll leave early, let's meet again tomorrow night."

"Okay!"

"Okay, okay!"

"..."

Several people nodded with smiles all over their faces.

"Then that's it!" Zhou Andong waved his hand and strode toward the door.

The people who came with Kong Liming, aside from Lian Xiangzhi, were all very pleased and content. Because they came to attend this discussion, one of their main purposes was to get to know Zhou Andong.

……………………

At this moment, the Gu household was very lively—everyone had returned, and no one knew how many years it had been since everyone had been this complete.

A little girl with her hair tied in sheep-horn braids, about four or five years old, seeing that no one was paying attention, quietly slipped into the room where the little feather was sleeping.

Then she leaned over the baby's bed, stood on her tiptoes, gazing at the little person sleeping soundly, her eyes full of curiosity.

Immediately after, another little boy, about six or seven years old, sneaked in—this boy ran to the baby's bed, his big eyes staring wide and round.

After looking, he cautiously reached out his hand, just about to touch the little person's face, when the room's door was pushed open again.

A woman in her thirties quickly walked in, scooped up the little girl, and kicked the little boy on the buttocks, lowering her voice to say:

"How to wake up the little sister—get out."

The little boy gave his buttocks an indifferent pat, then darted out in a flash.

The woman holding the girl also left the room, speaking gently: "Nuannuan, your little sister is sleeping—wait until she wakes up, then we'll go find her to play, okay?"

"Okay!" the little girl sweetly replied.

The woman laughed, put the little girl on the ground: "Go find Su Su's little sister to play."

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, Zhou Andong pushed the door open and walked in, then shouted at the top of his voice: "Grandpa, Grandma, is the food ready yet? I'm about to starve to death."
