Chapter 835

"A blessing in misfortune." The old branch secretary, wearing a raincoat, stood in the rain and watched the car drive away.

"Yes!" Bian Zhenghe nodded: "Such a big thing happened, should we notify Bai Kai and Bai Nan?"

The old branch secretary said: "Wait until the rain stops to notify them. It's more than thirty miles away. With such heavy rain, what if something happens on the road."

"Old Uncle Guan, Brother Bian!" Zhou Andong came out of the room, "I'll go back if there's nothing else."

Old Uncle Guan grabbed Zhou Andong's hand and said gratefully: "Chairman Zhou, thank you very much this time. Otherwise, with such heavy rain, it would be impossible to send people to the county hospital."

"Old Uncle Guan!" Zhou Andong said very emotionally: "It's too distant to say thank you. My mother was born and raised here, and I am also a member of our Zhenxing Village.

Also, when outsiders bullied me, it was you and the fellow villagers who stood behind me and protected me. Now that the fellow villagers have something, if I just watch and don't care, am I still a person? If my mother knew, wouldn't she beat me to death?"

There were always many people in the room. Hearing Zhou Andong's words, they felt warm in their hearts.

Especially when Zhou Andong said, I am also a member of Zhenxing Village, they felt that the distance between themselves and Zhou Andong had suddenly become much closer.

Old Uncle Guan smiled and patted Zhou Andong's shoulder heavily: "Alright, you go ahead if you have something to do."

"Okay!" Zhou Andong nodded: "Then I'm leaving."

The crowd surrounding Zhou Andong gave way to a path. Zhou Andong came to the door and suddenly turned back: "Old Uncle Guan, and Brother Bian and the uncles and aunts present, don't call me Chairman Zhou in the future. It's too distant. Just call me Dongzi."

The crowd was taken aback, and immediately a voice came from the crowd: "Dongzi!"

"Hey!" Zhou Andong answered crisply, and immediately, joyful laughter rang out in this ordinary civilian house.

………………

Zhou Andong brought people home. Jian Qiu stared at the cards in front of her and asked without turning her head: "Why did you just come back?"

"A house collapsed." Zhou Andong said: "We were saving people."

Everyone looked over. Chen Yuanlin asked: "Whose house?"

Chen Yuan said: "Bai Hongli's!"

Li Fenglan asked: "How are the people?"

"People were dug out." Chen Yuan took a water scoop and scooped some water to drink: "Only Aunt Bai's arm was injured, she has already been sent to the hospital, and everyone else has no major problems."

Hearing that there was nothing major, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Fenglan muttered: "It's good that there's nothing major, it's good that there's nothing major."

Zhou Andong looked at the room, on the kang and on the ground, several large and small basins were placed.

"The roof is leaking very badly."

Chen Yuanlin smiled and said: "In early spring, thanks to re-smearing the roof with clay, otherwise it would have leaked even worse."

"The west room isn't leaking, is it?"

Zhou Andong suddenly remembered, turned around and ran to the west room. A bucket was placed on the ground, and water was dripping down from the roof.

He turned around and glanced at the kang. Su Su was staring with wide eyes, gesturing with her hands, blowing bubbles in her mouth, and babbling in baby language.

And Lao Si was lying on the side, sleeping soundly.

"Oh my!" Zhou Andong picked up Su Su, "My big daughter is awake."

"Ah... ah..."

Seeing Zhou Andong, Su Su grinned and laughed, not knowing what she was saying.

Zhou Andong loved her so much, lowered his head and kissed her on the little face.

This child was so lovable. As long as she wasn't hungry, she would play by herself when she woke up, and never cried or made a fuss.

Zhou Andong carried the child over. Seeing this, Jian Qiu stretched out her hands: "Come, Su Su, Mommy will hold you."

The little girl stretched out a pair of little hands: "Mom... mom..."

"Ah?" Jian Qiu was stunned, and everyone else looked over, a little unable to believe their ears.

"Honey!" Jian Qiu stared with incredible eyes and looked at Zhou Andong very excitedly: "She... she just... did she call Mommy?"

Zhou Andong nodded happily: "She did call Mommy."

Although Su Su was not her biological daughter, this sound of Mommy hit the softest part of Jian Qiu's heart all at once.

Jian Qiu's eyes were moist. She was twenty-seven years old. Under normal circumstances, a woman of her age would have children in elementary school.

"Baby!" Jian Qiu carried Su Su over and kissed her hard on the little face, "Mommy loves you."

Zhou Andong smiled and walked out of the room, patted Wu Chao on the shoulder who was smoking in the outer room, and then came to the back door.

"Take a look at this!" Zhou Andong picked up the documents on the stool and handed them to Wu Chao.

Wu Chao opened it and looked, then raised his head. The boss showing him this thing must have something for him to handle.

Zhou Andong explained the whole thing: "Two choices. One is to stay here, register a mining company, you will be the legal representative, and the limestone mine and coal mine will be handed over to you in the future.

Second is to go to the Middle East with Zhi Wanshan. If you find an oil field and get the mining rights, you will have to stay there for at least five or six years. If you don't find an opportunity, just treat it as traveling. However, you will also lose the opportunity here."

Wu Chao's heart was pounding. Following the boss, he knew very well that there would definitely be an opportunity to get ahead, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

Staying here, the benefits are obvious. The chairman attaches so much importance to the mining industry. As long as it develops step by step, the future will definitely be no problem, but it has no challenge at all.

As for going to the Middle East, it is very likely that he will gain nothing, and it is very dangerous. If he doesn't handle it well, he might lose his life there. However, crises are often accompanied by opportunities.

What is oil? Oil is the mother of industry. Why was the Gulf War? It was because of oil. If he could really get the oil field mining rights over there, he, Wu Chao, would really step into the sky in one step.

"I'll go to the Middle East!" These thoughts flashed through Wu Chao's mind, and he made a decision.

Zhou Andong smiled. Wu Chao's answer did not exceed his expectations. After all, who among those who have been soldiers would be willing to live an ordinary life for a lifetime?

"Okay, choose a few people from the security team to take with you. If possible, buy weapons when you get there. Under the premise of ensuring your own safety, take good care of Zhi Wanshan. However, once you encounter irreversible situations, you can abandon him. I only need you to come back completely."

Wu Chao nodded heavily: "Understood!"

"Go!" Zhou Andong said: "Talk to them, see who is willing to go, and explain the pros and cons to them clearly."

Wu Chao agreed and turned to leave.

By evening, the rain finally gradually lessened.

And the light rain in Qishi had also been falling for a day, and the whole city was foggy.

Meng Huaizhi returned to his office from the guesthouse, wanting to take advantage of the evening time to handle some things.

He had just sat down in his chair when the office door was knocked.

"Come in!"

Tan Zongwei pushed the door and walked in: "Leader, the evidence chain is closed-loop."
