Chapter 845 Returning favors
What he considered to be a serious matter was actually resolved by his father in just a few words. This made him realize for the first time the importance of connections.
"What's wrong? When they were arrested, they didn't have any sexual relations, and neither of them admitted it. Isn't this normal?"
Zhou Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes at his silly son. Of course, anyone with a discerning eye could see the truth of this matter, but the problem was that it was like catching a thief to catch the account. Without facts, as long as both parties denied it, the matter would naturally come to nothing.
As for whether the two had a relationship or not, it is no longer important.
"Can this still happen?"
Zhou Zhiqiu exclaimed that it was an eye-opener, but now that he knew that Uncle Xiaojun's matter was resolved, he naturally did not dare to continue disturbing his father's rest. He knew that his father had been very busy during this period.
He comes home very late every day, and he's afraid that his mother will eat him if he continues to disturb her.
After sending his son away, Zhou Tian lay back on the bed. As soon as he lay down, he heard his wife Shen Yulin asking, "Boss, what's going on? Your son came to see you so late. Did something happen?"
"It's okay, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Hearing his wife's words, Zhou Tian turned his head and looked at his wife's pretty face full of worry. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her hair and asked.
"Is it really okay?"
Shen Yulin seemed to still not believe it. After all, her son was so anxious so late at night, and she didn't think her son would make trouble for no reason.
"Okay, it's Xiaojun's business!"
Seeing Shen Yulin's disbelief, Zhou Tian told her everything about Zhou Jun without hiding anything. After he finished speaking, he comforted her again, "That's how it is. Okay, go to sleep, dear!"
After saying this, he held his wife in his arms, and soon, they both fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning.
After finishing breakfast, Zhou Tian said hello to his family, then went out and got in the car. Leng Feng had just started the car and was about to go to the Fifth Research Institute when Zhou Tian, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly said, "No need to rush today, let's go to the Third Steel Rolling Mill!"
"It's the chief!"
Leng Feng responded, started the car, and drove towards the third steel rolling mill.
Although he had spoken to Song Lian on the phone last night and knew that his brother Xiaojun's problem had been resolved, he still needed to go to the steel mill to confirm whether there were any hidden dangers, or to visit Deputy Director Li, no, he should be called Director Li now.
He knew how chaotic the days ahead would be, and he didn't want chaos to happen in his own home.
Soon, the car arrived at the gate of the Third Steel Rolling Mill. After registering at the Security Department, the car stopped directly downstairs of Li Huaide's office building. Patriotic songs were playing in the factory's broadcasting room.
Some people from the logistics department were walking around the factory from time to time, carrying documents.
Zhou Xia got out of the car, went straight upstairs, came to the door of Li Huaide's office, and knocked on the door.
Suddenly, he keenly heard a rustling sound coming from the office, which made him shake his head helplessly.
"My goodness, why is it that every time he comes to see Li Huaide, this guy is always doing this!"
Although the old man is in power now, isn't he a bit too blatant? You know, it's broad daylight and it's working hours.
"Please come in!"
It was not until a long time later that Zhou Tian heard Li Huaide's voice coming from inside. After a while, as the door of the office opened, a woman in work clothes with a rosy face stood at the door.
Zhou Tian smiled at her, then walked in and said, "Director Li, you really have a comfortable life!"
"Oh, it's Dean Zhou. I didn't expect you to come. I'm really flattered!"
When Li Huaide saw that the person coming was Zhou Tian, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.
The two shook hands and sat on the sofa. After a while, the woman came in with two cups of brewed tea and poured one for each of them.
"Thank you!"
Zhou Tian smiled and nodded at the woman, then picked up the tea and sipped it. The woman was also tactful enough to put down the tea and leave.
"President Zhou, why are you here this time?"
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the office, Li Huaide asked without hesitation. However, he knew that Zhou Tian was very busy on weekdays due to his identity, and it was impossible for him to come to the steel mill to reminisce with him.
Moreover, after the last transaction between the two, he felt that his relationship with Zhou Tian had taken a step forward, so naturally he was no longer as restrained as before.
"Director Li, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but the reason I came here today is because of my cousin Zhou Jun!"
Hearing Li Huaide's question, Zhou Tian told him the purpose of his visit without hiding anything.
"Zhou Jun, this name sounds familiar. By the way, does it seem to be related to what happened last night?"
Li Huaide thought for a while, then suddenly stopped and looked at Zhou Tian: "Dean Zhou, is this Zhou Jun your cousin?"
"Yes, he is my cousin. I heard Xiaoqiu mention what happened last night. I was a little worried, so I came to see what happened."
Watching Li Huaide's performance, Zhou Tian naturally cooperated very well. In fact, he didn't believe that he didn't know that Zhou Jun was his cousin. If he really didn't know, how could he promote Zhou Jun, a small driver, to team leader in such a short time.
Obviously, he knew Zhou Jun very well and knew that he had no ambitions. He would not believe that Li Huaide had no hand in this.
As for saying it was someone else, don't joke. You have to know that the transport team is Li Huaide's territory. Without Li Huaide's consent, others simply don't have that ability.
"Hey, look at what I've done. But don't worry, Dean Zhou. I know about this matter. If I had known that Xiaojun was Dean Zhou's cousin, I wouldn't have sent anyone there!"
"This is just like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. But don't worry, Dean Zhou. Our cousin didn't have any intimate behavior with the young widow. This matter is a false accusation from beginning to end. To put it bluntly, the gangster was jealous that Xiaojun ruined his good deeds, so he wanted to seek revenge with the help of the security department. So Xiaojun is not only fine, but he is also acting bravely! Helping the widow is a good thing!"
After hearing Li Huaide's words, Zhou Tian finally felt relieved. Although he knew that Li Huaide must have said this to curry favor with him, in the end he still had to accept the favor.
Just as he called Song Lian last night, Song Lian had made it clear on the phone that he had only intervened, but the one who really played a role was Li Huaide. This was why he did not go to the research institute first this morning, but came to the steel mill first.
"Okay, I didn't expect this to be the case. This makes me feel relieved. How about this, Director Li, I don't think today is a good day. How about tomorrow? I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow. How about that?"
Hearing that others have done such a good favor, he naturally has to return the favor! Even if he doesn't want to deal with Li Huaide, he still has to save face!
