Chapter 299 Petty Citizen

Zhuo Jie's house is not very good, and it is still a two-bedroom apartment just like a few years ago. When Zhou Liwen was a manager at Huacheng Branch, Zhuo Jie took the initiative to ask for transfer to Suhang Branch because his daughter was in junior high school and grew up.

A few years later, Zhuo Jie's daughter has already been in high school and is almost a big girl. But now, Zhuo Jie has not only lost his position as the manager of the Suzhou-Hangzhou branch, but he still works as his former regional supervisor when he returned to the Shanghai headquarters, but his family is still the same family as his original family. His family of three, plus his elderly parents, and five live in a two-bedroom apartment of less than 47 square meters. The conditions can be imagined.

It was still the same as before, with a curtain in the room, barely making do with it. In fact, before, when Zhou Liwen first purchased a property, he once indirectly reminded Zhuo Jie to take a loan to buy a house while the housing prices are now sluggishly to improve the conditions of his family. But how did Zhuo Jie answer Zhou Liwen at that time? Zhou Liwen still remembers it until now.

"The real estate projects in the city center have fallen to 4,000, and those outside the inner ring have fallen below 3,000. Buying a house is actually similar to speculating in stocks. Now that the situation is rushing in, it's a loss of money. It's better to wait and see, and wait until the house price falls below 1,000 and then buy a bigger one..."

This is what Zhuo Jie said at the time. Zhou Liwen was a little amused and crying, but he didn't expect that Zhuo Jie's mentality has not changed until now. To be honest, as a middle-level manager and business manager, Zhuo Jie is still very competent, and he can be said to be smart in his work, especially in business. But it is precisely this smart that makes Zhuo Jie often have too many ideas and is easily disturbed by various external influences. Smart is mistaken by smartness, and he is talking about people like him.

At the beginning, if Zhuo Jie could grit his teeth and listen to Zhou Liwen's advice, he would have won a house long ago, and he would not have been crowded in such a small environment like now. Similarly, if Zhuo Jie was a little more courageous, he would have just learned that guy from Hammer to work alone, and would not have fallen to this point now. He looked forward and hesitated, and was always undecided. This is the weakness and flaw of his personality.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhuo Jie, who was a little drunk, returned home staggeringly. As soon as he entered the door, his wife Li Qi, who was urging her daughter to do her homework, suddenly became unhappy when she saw her husband's appearance.

Zhuo Jie didn't pay attention to Li Qi's expression, and sat down next to the bed happily, looking very happy.

"Go to the balcony to do your homework." Li Qi said to his daughter, sending her daughter to the closed balcony to the small study room to write her homework. When her daughter took a pen to the balcony, she complained to her husband with a cold face: "What did you do? Why do you drink like this? Do you think you are still the branch manager now! Your unit is now a broken example, and the monthly salary you get is not enough to spend. My daughter will take the college entrance examination in two years. The university tuition is so expensive now, I save it every day, but you are fine, eating and drinking outside, and not caring about this family at all!"

Zhuo Jie laughed and said proudly: "Okay, okay, don't I know yet? Tell you, I didn't spend a penny on the food today, someone invited me!"

"Are you invited me? You are still a customer who treats you to dinner now? Just blow it!" Li Qixin was surprised and poured a glass of water for her husband and let him sober up.

"Don't believe it? Hehe." Zhuo Jie said happily: "I really didn't brag. It was indeed someone who bought the order. Do you still remember Xiao Zhou from our previous unit? He was the manager of the Huacheng branch. Today he bought the order, and he drove me back."

"Is it called Zhou Hewen?" Li Qi thought about it but still couldn't remember Zhou Liwen's full name. However, his impression of Zhou Liwen was that, after all, Zhou Liwen and Qian Barzi had a big deal in the group when they were doing this, and Zhou Liwen and Zhuo Jie were both subordinates of General Chen. Zhuo Jie had mentioned Zhou Liwen a lot in front of his wife at that time.

"Yes! It's Zhou Liwen!"

"Have he resigned long ago?" Li Qi asked strangely. Why did the person who had not been in contact for several years suddenly contact him again? Could it be that Zhou Liwen took the initiative to find his husband? Thinking of this, Li Qi became nervous. The society is not as complicated as before. Most of the people who do business look glamorous outside, but in fact they are all taking off the coffin. Maybe Zhou Liwen was deliberately trying to find his own Zhuo Jie after losing money. What was his idea?

There is a reason for Li Qi to think so, because not long ago, a classmate she had not been in contact with for many years found her inexplicably. She first talked about family matters intimately, and later said she wanted to meet for dinner, and finally talked about what lectures she invited herself to. At first, Li Qi went there beautifully, but who would have thought that she was pulled into a company by this old classmate. After listening to the Amway lecture, she enthusiastically taught her the secrets of "success" and tried to develop her into a downline for "direct sales".

Li Qi is not a little girl who has just left the society. She feels something is wrong now and finally finds an excuse to get out. After leaving, she was so angry that she was so angry that she was getting worse and worse in this society. She was all bad people, and she could think of such a trick.

"Don't think too much, they are doing much better than me now." Zhuo Jie understood what she was guarding against when he saw his wife, and immediately smiled and told Zhou Liwen about the situation. Of course, Zhuo Jie didn't know much, let alone know that Orz, which is famous in the mobile phone industry, is Zhou Liwen's industry. However, Zhou Liwen has a logistics company, and he still knows about it. And when he came back from Zhou Liwen's car today, the luxury car that was valuable at first glance was not affordable.

After figuring out the situation, I also learned that my husband was the one who invited me to dinner today, but in the end it was the one who bought it, and he drove a good car to take him back. Li Qi couldn't help but complain about his husband, just saying that everyone used to be the branch manager, and they were so smart. When they relied on the group's resources to make a deal, they now became the big boss. Even if they didn't talk about Zhou Liwen, they just talked about the hammer of the Southwest Branch. Isn't it also a famous local boss? His husband was not as good as before, and even lost his position as the branch manager.

"If others are good, no matter how good others are, it is their business. If you had a little brainpower, would our family use it as hard as it is now?" Thinking of this, Li Qi couldn't help but mention this sentence.

"Hehe, I admit that I am not as brave as them, I am a little timid and honest as a person. There is nothing I can do about it. Didn't you just want me to be honest and honest? But wife, don't worry, your husband has been a leader no matter what he said, and he is still a little brainy. Otherwise, why would I invite Zhou Liwen to dinner today?"

"What do you invite someone to have a meal? It's better for someone to invite you to have a meal?" Li Qi said to her husband for a blank look. Then she recalled what he said just now, and said in a daze: "Yes, what's the situation when you look for Xiao Zhou today? You won't tell me that you plan to quit, are you going to his place? But didn't you say that his logistics company is in the southeast? Are you going to the southeast?"

"What and what!" Zhuo Jie laughed in silence and shook his head, "Go to his side? It's weird if I have this idea. He is a private enterprise, and I am a state-owned enterprise now. Although the current leader is not very good, the money I get is a large amount less than before, but it is at least stable! And the money that should be paid is the same as the unit of money that should be paid, and the private enterprise cares about your retirement? Even if he goes to his side, he gets more money than now, but after deducting the four golds he pays, he won't be much more. Moreover, when he reaches Xiao Zhou, he will become my boss. I will be embarrassed if he meets him in the future."

"That's true!" Li Qi nodded and said, "Your salary is discounted, and the base of these four funds has not changed. If it is not deducted, it is not bad. If you really pass, your life will definitely not be easy now. And just like what you said, the relationship between the two parties will not be friends and bosses or employees. But why don't you go to him and have dinner with him?"

"You are stupid!" Zhuo Jie said with a grudge: "If you don't go to his subordinates, can't you eat? No matter how much he is, he is also the boss now. What am I doing? The former branch manager is also the regional manager now. This boss friend will help me introduce some business and something, and then I will help you with my brothers, and that's all right?"

"Yes! This is a good method!" Li Qi's eyes glowed when he heard this. Why didn't she expect this trick? It seems that although her husband is a little bad, he is very smart and can actually come up with this trick.

"Then what did you talk to him? How do you plan to cooperate? What business can he introduce you to? Also, we don't have much capital. Don't think about the little deposits in the bank. This is for my daughter to use for future college."

"Tsk! Do you think your husband is an idiot, and you can't even think of this?" Zhuo Jie sneered at his wife's words. In his opinion, even if the most reliable business is not reliable, as long as the capital is used, who can make 100% profit in business? If someone says the success rate is 99%, then there is still a remaining 1%? What's more, people are talking about others, and they are not sure about it, let alone others? If Zhuo Jie was willing to take a try, he would have listened to Zhou Liwen's words and went to buy a house. At least the house cannot be escaped, and he can live on his own if it doesn't rise.

It is precisely because of this mentality that Zhuo Jie did not plan to pay the capital from the beginning. His plan was to be an introducer and cooperate with each other. He asked him to run errands and do his best. It was absolutely impossible for him to pay for it. Moreover, his family didn't have much money, so this was the most reliable way.

"Then how did you talk to him?" Li Qi said strangely.

Zhuo Jie smiled and looked around. Seeing that the door of his parents' room was closed, his daughter was doing homework on the balcony, waved to his wife, and then asked in her ear: "Didn't you tell me the day before yesterday that you have plans to sell your third-tier factory? I'm thinking about it..."
