Chapter 999

If Wu Hongkang heard this, he would definitely sigh that Zhou Andong was showing off again.

If it were Zhang Shenghui, he would spit in Zhou Andong's face and ask him if he could still have any shame.

Lu Qing was stunned: "Sure enough, to have achieved such success at a young age, there is no such thing as luck."

"You flatter me." Zhou Andong accepted Lu Qing's praise calmly.

Lu Qing sighed with great emotion: "Nowadays, there aren't many young people like Chairman Zhou who have responsibility, accountability, and patriotism."

Zhou Andong finally filled his stomach, put down his chopsticks: "For every Chinese person, patriotism is a duty, and also a responsibility; it is where the heart belongs and where the feelings return.

The era calls for responsibility; national rejuvenation is the responsibility of our generation. We must have the courage to face difficulties and overcome them. On the road to realizing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must have the spirit of responsibility to face difficulties and step forward.

As long as our generation takes on heavy burdens, overcomes difficulties, and fights risks, our country will be full of vitality, full of stamina, and full of hope...

Our peace was not easily won; this peaceful and prosperous age was exchanged by the martyrs with their lives and blood. Today's quiet years are because someone is carrying the burden forward for us. So I am very grateful to the Party and the country, grateful to society and the people.

And responsibility is not just a loud slogan; it must have concrete actions. Although my personal strength is very small, as long as I start from small things, doing more will inevitably lead to great achievements...

As a Chinese youth of the new era, we must cherish this era, shoulder the mission of the era, temper ourselves in responsibility, and grow in fulfilling our duties."

"Good, well said."

The shout of "good" that suddenly came from behind startled Zhou Andong. Turning back to look, it was He Jingyuan, who didn't know when he had stood behind them.

"Secretary!"

Several people stood up to give up their seats, and He Jingyuan waved his hand: "Don't be polite, sit down."

Everyone sat down again, and He Jingyuan looked at Zhou Andong, sighing with emotion: "Shoulder the mission of the era, temper ourselves in responsibility, and grow in fulfilling our duties. Good, really well said."

Lu Qing also nodded in agreement: "I have truly learned of Chairman Zhou's talent; it's incredible."

He Jingyuan suddenly said: "Chairman Zhou, I intend to publish those words you just said in the Party newspaper; what do you think?"

"Ah?"

Zhou Andong was very surprised; he was really surprised, and then his heart bloomed with joy. How could he not agree to such a good thing?

"As long as you have no problem with it, I definitely have no problem here."

"Good!" He Jingyuan said with a smile: "Write the draft tonight, and hand it to me or Comrade Zhengrong tomorrow."

Zhou Andong agreed: "No problem."

"There is one more thing." He Jingyuan said: "If you have time, can you go to the Party School to give a lecture?"

Zhou Andong was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was filled with wild joy.

Going to the Party School to give a lecture—is that just giving a lecture? That's going to build connections.

Below sits a crowd of leaders, and they all have bright futures.

Zhou Andong's heart was filled with wild joy, but he didn't show it on his face, and he even shook his head.

"I'm just talking nonsense; it's fine to say anything in private, but going to give a lecture to leaders, no, really no."

"I say you can, so you can." He Jingyuan said: "Just give today's speech in class once."

Zhou Andong was hesitant, then gritted his teeth: "Okay, since the leader has said so, if I'm still coy, it would be a bit unappreciative."

Hearing Zhou Andong's words, Seeing Jian Qiu rolled her eyes and lowered her head to take a sip of soup, so as not to laugh out loud.

Jian Zhengrong cursed in his heart: this little fox is full of tricks.

He Jingyuan laughed happily: "Then it's settled."

Zhou Andong nodded: "After this forum ends, I still have to go to Hong Kong; wait for me to come back."

"Okay!" He Jingyuan stood up: "I have nothing else, you guys chat."

"We have nothing else either." Lu Qing and Jian Zhengrong also stood up and left.

Zhou Andong thought he could be quiet for a while, but Miss He came again.

"Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, am I disturbing you?"

"You are disturbing me." Zhou Andong said in his heart, but a bright smile hung on his face: "No."

"Miss He, please sit." Seeing Jian Qiu stood up and pulled out a chair.

"Thank you!" Miss He sat down.

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and gestured: "It doesn't matter."

Zhou Andong lit a cigarette: "Miss He, how is your impression of Yangcheng?"

At this time, Seeing Jian Qiu took two glasses of fruit juice and placed them in front of Miss He and Zhou Andong.

"Thank you!" Miss He picked up the juice and took a sip: "Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau share the same roots and origins, with similar dialects and customs; coming here is no different from being at home."

Zhou Andong said: "So, Miss He has already decided to invest here?"

Miss He nodded: "When I received the invitation to attend this forum, I had already decided."

Zhou Andong asked: "Investing in the hotel industry?"

Miss He asked strangely: "How did you know?"

Zhou Andong blinked: "You can't invest in a casino, right?"

Miss He laughed: "If permitted, it's not impossible to consider."

Zhou Andong said seriously: "If possible, let's cooperate; I'll invest a bit too."

"No problem." Miss He also agreed very seriously, and then the two looked at each other and laughed loudly.

"Speaking of investment, is Chairman Zhou interested in the shipping industry?"

Here it comes; Zhou Andong sat up straight: "As long as it can make money, I'm interested."

Actually, Miss He had never worked in her family business; half a year ago, the Gambling King suddenly asked her to come back to take over the shipping business.

But this business had been in a state of loss, and Miss He also knew that this was a test from her father.

After several months of familiarity and understanding, the shipping business was even worse than imagined.

Especially the strongest competitor, China Travel Service, had also intervened in the passenger shipping business.

The two companies had constant business conflicts, and both were on the verge of bankruptcy.

So, Miss He proposed to the old shareholders that the best way to solve the crisis was to increase investment.

But this method was strongly opposed by the executives; they were unwilling to take this risk.

Miss He knew deeply that to win this battle, the real difficulty was not the operation, but persuading this group of old predecessors.

Without her father's permission, she privately talked to these old predecessors.

Finally, these old predecessors agreed to her capital increase plan, but were unwilling to invest more money, so she could only seek external investment.

She was prepared to do this after going back, but she met Zhou Andong here, a man she admired very much and who gave her many surprises.

So she came over; as for whether Zhou Andong could invest, she didn't force it.

After all, with her status, whoever she found, investing one or two hundred million wouldn't be a problem.
