Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

Zhou Zheng smiled awkwardly but politely: "Teacher Yan, I won't eat. I just ate at home, but...thank you for inviting me."

Yan Fugui was a little disappointed when he heard Zhou Zheng's refusal, but he still tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "You're welcome, Comrade Zhou. We're just having a simple meal together."

Zhou Zheng still shook his head firmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Yan. Everything has been done at home. I won't cause any more trouble."

Yan Fugui frowned slightly, thinking: "Why doesn't this guy understand? I prepared good wine and food, but he doesn't come to eat. How can I have the nerve to make requests?"

Zhou Zheng looked at Yan Fugui's expression, which changed instantly. Although he felt contemptuous in his heart, he still gave him a way out: "Old Yan, do you have something to say? If so, just tell me. I will definitely help you with what I can do. With our relationship, there is really no need to do this."

When Yan Fugui heard this again, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Haha, yes, there is no need for our relationship to be like this. It's a bit too formal, isn't it? In fact, it's not a big deal. For you, it's a trivial matter that can't be any smaller."

Zhou Zheng would not listen to Yan Fugui's flattery, and immediately interrupted him, "Okay, if you have something to say, just say it. No matter how small the matter is, it is still a matter. There is no need to flatter me like this. If I can do it, I will definitely do it for you. If I can't do it, it's useless to flatter me. Do you really think I'm a fool? I can't find my way after you flatter me a few words."

In fact, Zhou Zheng was already a little impatient at this time.

If he was flattered by someone of the same level, he might still feel good about himself and satisfied, but now he is facing Yan Fugui, who is completely not on the same level as him. This kind of flattery will only make him feel like a fool.

After all, Yan Fugui was a shrewd man. When he saw that Zhou Zheng's face was not very good, his expression changed instantly again.

He smiled awkwardly, and his expression became serious.

"Oh, that's exactly what happened. I heard that the new factory on Yuhe Road is yours, and I went to see it. When your factory was clearing the site, didn't it cut down a lot of trees? I was wondering if I could take these trees back and use them as firewood?"

When Zhou Zheng heard this, he subconsciously glanced into Yan Fugui's eyes, wanting to confirm whether he was lying.

Because he felt that this matter might not be that simple, and Yan Fugui must have other intentions.

But from Yan Fugui's clear and almost stupid eyes, Zhou Zheng could see that he really came just for this little thing, and he couldn't help feeling speechless.

So he couldn't help but add a hint of contempt to his tone: "I say... Old Yan, is it just for such a small matter?"

Yan Fugui was stunned by Zhou Zheng's words.

Isn't that all? Is there anything else I can ask of you?

His eyes suddenly turned, his tone changed slightly, and he pretended to be shy and said, "If it's not difficult, can you find another job for my daughter-in-law? You have such a big factory, you must be short of cleaners. Our daughter-in-law Yu Li is very hardworking and can definitely do this job well."

Zhou Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

You are worthy of being me, Mr. Yan. You are really good at climbing up the ladder.

But even though he was speechless, he still wanted Yu Li to work in the research institute.

Then I'm sorry, Brother Jie Cheng, my sister-in-law smells very good, I will help you taste it.

At first, Yan Jiecheng sat at the dining table without saying a word.

He was actually very afraid of meeting Zhou Zheng face to face, as that would make him feel inferior.

But when the topic shifted to Yu Li, he slowly stood up and forced an unpleasant smile on his face.

"Zhengzi, do you think this can be accomplished?"

Zhou Zheng looked up at Yan Jiecheng, smiled and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. But, we can try."

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he was overjoyed and said quickly, "Thank you so much, Zhengzi!"

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me yet. I just said you can try, but it may not work."

Yan Fugui said hurriedly: "It's okay if you can try it, it's okay if you can try it."

Zhou Zheng smiled inwardly. This family was really impatient. He thought for a moment and said, "But even if it works, Yu Li has to work hard at the factory and not lose face for me."

Yan Jiecheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Zhengzi, Yu Li will definitely be able to do the work."

Zhou Zheng hummed, then said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask the leader, and I'll let you know when I have news."

Yan Fugui and Yan Jiecheng were filled with gratitude and thanked him repeatedly.

Zhou Zheng looked at them, feeling proud in his heart. This way, Yu Li could enter the institute, and he would have more opportunities to meet her in the future.

As for Brother Jie Cheng, I can only say sorry, because his sister-in-law is more beautiful.

But at this moment, Zhou Zheng's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he shouted angrily in a low voice: "By the way, who the hell did he call Zhengzi just now?"

Yan Jiecheng was so frightened that he was stunned and was too dumb to speak for a moment.

Yan Fugui hurriedly winked at Yan Jiecheng, trying to smooth things over.

"You stupid kid, you are so ignorant! Call Uncle Zhou now."

He reacted quickly, and Zhou Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, I was just kidding. I think the atmosphere is too dull, so I just want to liven it up. Let's call each other by our own names. You can call me Uncle Zhou, and I will call you Brother Jie Cheng."

When Yu Li saw Zhou Zheng's expression change, her little heart began to pound.

Hearing Zhou Zheng say this, he couldn't help but give Zhou Zheng a blank look.

I muttered to myself: "Why do I feel like you're not kidding at all."

Yan Fugui saw that the atmosphere had eased somewhat, but he still didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He said with a smile: "How can that be? We are brothers. Jie Cheng must call you uncle, otherwise wouldn't it mess up the generations?"

Seeing Zhou Zheng looking at him with interest, Yan Jiecheng felt his face burning and a sense of shame rose in his heart.

He smiled awkwardly and then coughed lightly.

"Do you think...what I just said will work?" Yan Jiecheng asked cautiously, with a hint of expectation and uneasiness in his voice.

Zhou Zheng laughed and did not directly answer Yan Jiecheng's question. Instead, he turned his gaze to Yu Li who was standing beside him.

His gaze stayed on Yu Li for about three seconds, and then he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, why not?"

Zhou Zheng said with a smile, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"My sister-in-law is so hardworking. She looks like a good candidate for the job of cleaning lady. I believe she can handle this job well."

Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li both breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not let down their guard.

They know that things may not be that simple.

Sure enough, Zhou Zheng’s next words confirmed their guess.

"Well, right now, the research institute over there is still under preparation, and a lot of equipment needs to be brought into the factory, so it's not convenient for work. I'm also working from home now, so sister-in-law can start working now. As for the content of the work, just... clean the room for me first."

Zhou Zheng paused for a moment, then looked at Yan Jiecheng.

"Brother Jie Cheng, do you have any objection to this arrangement?"
