Back To 2005

That ancient situation seems to be the second-in-command of the organization department, my mother's high school classmate.

When he was taking the public examination in his previous life, his mother took him to pay New Year greetings.

As a result, Zhou Anan couldn't even get into the interview.

If he remembered correctly, the other party would be one of the Lizhou Standing Committee members in the future.

"Brother Zhou, this is for you. I know you are busy, so I won't go to your house to celebrate the New Year."

Arriving next to the car, Zhou Anan took out a box of tea leaves and two strips of Chinese medicine and handed them over.

Although the secretary Tong didn't smoke when he met him, Zhou Anan could see some clues from his fingers.

"You kid, then I won't be polite."

If it were a gift from someone else, Tong Ziqian might refuse it.

But the young man in front of him even politely accepted the gift from the young man, so he naturally would not refuse it.

Ordinary human relations are normal.

"Brother Tong, see you later."

After delivering the gifts, Zhou Anan drove back to Jinshuiwan and took a taxi home.

Going back and forth makes me tired.

On the early morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Anan got up, opened her pajamas, took a look, and went to change her pants helplessly.

There has been no clapping exercise for a few days, and this young body is a little hot.

After breakfast, at the instruction of his parents, Zhou Anan first went to pay his respects to his grandparents, brother-in-law, and eldest uncle in the same village, and received three red envelopes that were hard to refuse.

After that, I went to my grandparents’ house and my uncle’s house to pay New Year greetings.

Now, my father has not broken up with my uncle because of the support issue of my grandparents, everyone is still very polite, and we have lunch at my uncle's new home.

That night, when Zhou Anan's family of three returned home, Zhou Shun called and asked two brothers, Zhou Chengmin, to come over and play cards.

Thirteen water is not popular yet, and everyone’s card playing routines are fifty kings, red fives, upgrades and bulls.

Among them, upgrading is the most popular.

"A few bucks to start."

"Let's give it a hundred. Whoever gets to the top first will get a hundred."

"OK."

The three guys who made money didn't care about Zhou An'an, a college student, and set a price of 100 yuan and started playing cards.

However, compared to Niu Niu, this poker game, which often takes more than an hour to complete, is considered very small.

Proud in love, disappointed in the casino.

Although this sentence is not comprehensive, it still makes sense.

After two rounds of upgrades, continue to change Niuniu.

One night, Zhou Anan's family lost to three families. Whoever fought lost, and the opening red envelope given by his mother was scattered out.

"Would you like to have a late-night snack?"

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Zhou Shun, who had won more than 500 yuan, felt a little embarrassed and prepared to treat everyone to a supper.

"where?"

It was Chinese New Year and there was nowhere to go, so Zhou Chengmin asked excitedly.

"Zijin Sunshine, you can take a bath there and also provide late night snacks. Zhou Xiaoke opened it and gave me some coupons last time. The original price was 68, but it only cost 38."

"It's late at night, how can we get there?"

"I'll ask someone to drive us there in a van."

"OK."

After Zhou Shun said this, the Zhou Chengmin brothers, who seldom went to entertainment on weekdays, were very interested.

Everyone was in such good spirits that Zhou Anan, who had been there several times, was not disappointed. Staying at home during the Chinese New Year was boring anyway.

After talking to his parents, Zhou Anan followed them out.

"Zhou Shun."

Within two minutes, a van parked in front of Zhou Anan's house, and Zhou Yihang from the same village poked his head out of the window.

When he heard that Zhou Shun invited him to have a late-night snack at Zijin Sunshine, he dropped the card game and came over. Anyway, he won hundreds of dollars.

"Walk."

The group got into the car and drove towards Zijin Sunshine.

Perhaps because of the lack of local entertainment projects in Lizhou, cars were parked outside Zijin Sunshine during the Chinese New Year.

Private cars are mainly Volkswagen, Hyundai, and domestically produced cars, with a few BMWs, Audis, and Mercedes-Benzes, and more domestically produced vans.

It was past twelve o'clock in the evening, and there were still several people sitting in the hall changing their shoes and getting ready to enter the bathhouse.

"Mr. Zhou."

The young manager who was on duty in the lobby saw Zhou Anan coming in from the door and walked over quickly to say hello.

The lobby manager naturally knows this big brother.

"Brother, have you been here before?"

"It's opened by Xiaoke. Of course I've been here. Manager Li, my cousin and I are here for a late-night snack. You can go and do your own thing."

Without saying anything, Zhou Anan glanced at the nameplate on the other person's clothes and dismissed him.

There is no need to show off in front of your family.

"OK."

Nodding, the young manager continued to patrol the hall, but his eyes kept falling on the shoe changing area.

When Zhou Anan and others walked into the men's area, the young manager went over to check the numbers in their hands.

"An'an, you and Zhou Xiaoke are classmates, can you come here for free?"

While taking a shower, Zhou Chengmin asked.

38 yuan is not much, but it is not much. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.

Although Zhou Xiaoke is his boss, they are not familiar with each other.

Relatively speaking, it was thanks to Zhou Anan that they were able to get on the fast track to wealth, and they did not have much interaction with the big boss Zhou Xiaoke.

"It's just a few dollars, sorry."

The coupon Zhou Shun was holding was only 38 yuan per person, and Zhou Anan was too lazy to say anything.

He has a free VIP card, but that's not how he uses it.

"Too."

Zhou Chengmin, whose average monthly income now exceeds 10,000 yuan, thought about it and stopped thinking about the small advantages.

"Boss Zhou."

"Boss Zhou."

"Xiao Ke."

After taking a shower, several people went up to the second floor to prepare for midnight snacks. When they saw Zhou Xiaoke and others sitting there eating, they all said hello.

Nominally, brothers Zhou Shun and Zhou Chengmin both work for Zhou Xiaoke.

"Hey, you are here. The hot dishes just served are just right."

Seeing Zhou Anan and others, Zhou Xiaoke said a few polite words.

After secretly exchanging glances with Zhou Anan, Zhou Xiaoke, who had no particular private chat, continued to chat with the people at the same table.

The food at Zijin Sunshine is pretty good, much better than the fast food restaurants outside, and much better than the hodgepodge Zhou Anan had in his previous life. The response from the surrounding customers was unanimously good.

He had previously asked the chef for advice, which had worked well.

It’s no wonder there are so many people visiting. It can seat more than 200 people, but almost half of the seats are occupied.

Food with more expensive ingredients will have to be eaten back by some customers.

After eating supper, naturally you won’t go home directly.

After taking a shower, most of my sleepiness was gone. It was a must to go to the leisure area on the third and fourth floors.

The Xiaobaojian area on the sixth floor is also a favorite choice for many men.

They agreed to meet in the lobby at two o'clock, and then they dispersed.

"Give me a hundred more."

"Add two hundred here."

"High points, high points."

He went to the sofa area and took a look and found that it was basically full of people. When Zhou Anan came to the entertainment area, he saw Zhou Chengmin and others gathered around the panda machine.

Two large panda machines can seat ten people, and from time to time someone will raise their hand.

Perhaps they arrived too late, because Zhou Chengmin and the others were just there watching, and there was no room to sit down and play.

"Master Zhou."

"Um."

After ordering a cup of green tea at the bar, Zhou Anan saw Hu Cong in front of him and smiled and chatted.

"By the way, does your panda machine have an amount limit?"

After just watching for a few minutes, Zhou Anan saw someone scoring hundreds of dollars.

Some things are ignored now, but will gradually become stricter as time goes by.

What's more, this kind of money is earned with a loss of heart.

Although there is no big connection, Zhou Anan doesn't want to see Zhou Xiaoke continue to cross some bottom lines.

"This does not."

Hu Cong shook his head, a little puzzled.

These days, there are many game arcades outside, but no one checks them.

Their place is pretty good. People who play can use money to increase points, but what they redeem is Zijin Sunshine’s consumption coupons, which is considered a side effect.

There is essentially no difference, at least it has an extra layer of fig leaf compared to those game arcades.

"Those are just small amounts of money. There is no need for you to make money from this. I would like to suggest that there is a limit of five hundred yuan per person to save trouble in the future."

Knowing the changes in Lizhou in the next few years, Zhou Anan made a small suggestion based on the principle of being prepared.

Of course, it doesn't matter to him if the other party doesn't listen.

No big deal, mention it to Zhou Xiaoke in detail.
