Chapter 375 Small talk
After successfully negotiating a deal with the two, Lu Chen's mood was as bright as the sun. His face was filled with joy, and he invited the two to have lunch with him without hesitation.
While enjoying the food, Lu Chen thought to himself. He had helped Chang Yunyun so much this time. If he took this opportunity to ask him to promote his eldest brother, it would not be too much, right? After all, this favor was not small!
After having this idea, Lu Chen couldn't wait to say to Zhou Zhiqian as soon as he finished lunch: "Mr. Zhou, since you have heard of my name, you must know that my eldest brother is Lu Jiaming!" Zhou Zhiqian was in a good mood at this time, because during this trip, he not only successfully negotiated with Lu Chen to train up to 200 pilots, but also solved a big and urgent problem for Chang Yunyun. They only need to wait until the two hundred students return from Lu Chen next year, and they can immediately start to form their own aviation force. In this way, Chang Yunyun will be able to have a strong aviation team of 200 people like the young marshal in the Northeast. Even if Chang Yunyun unfortunately clashes with the young marshal in the future, at least in terms of aviation power, Chang Yunyun will no longer be at a clear disadvantage and suffer losses everywhere as before.
When Lu Chen mentioned Lu Jiaming, he instantly saw what Lu Chen was thinking. He just wanted to gain some benefits for Lu Jiaming. He was very familiar with Lu Jiaming. He was a fierce general under the command of the famous General Wu in Yangcheng. Although his ability was not extraordinary, it was also quite outstanding.
If they promoted Lu Jiaming a little, it would not cause any loss to them. Moreover, if Chang Yunyun personally came forward to promote Lu Jiaming, this would not only sell a favor to Lu Chen, but also cleverly create some rift between Lu Jiaming and the military commander Wu. Such a good thing that had the best of both worlds naturally made him very happy and eager for it.
Therefore, as soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Zhou Zhiqian could not wait to respond: "Mr. Lu, you must be talking about Master Lu Jiaming, right? To be honest, I have heard of him a long time ago. He is indeed a rare talent! Even our Principal Chang praises him highly. Moreover, after careful consideration, Principal Chang has decided to promote Master Lu to a higher rank!"
Hearing Zhou Zhiqian's tactful agreement, Lu Chen couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes sparkling with joy, and he smiled and said to Zhou Zhiqian:
"In that case, that's great! Please convey my gratitude to Principal Chang for his care and concern for my brother. Mr. Zhou, please go back and tell Principal Chang that I will carefully select the best and most suitable instructors for you and ensure that I can provide you with the greatest support and help."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Lu! With your promise, we feel much more at ease." Zhou Zhiqian nodded quickly to express his gratitude and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Then, Lu Chen changed the subject and brought the topic to the Yun family. He stared at Zhou Zhiqian with a sharp gaze and asked softly, "Mr. Zhou, have you ever heard of the Yun family?"
Zhou Zhiqian was stunned when he heard this, then he looked at Lu Chen with a puzzled look on his face, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I don't know which Yun family you are talking about?"
Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly and patiently explained: "I am talking about the Yun family in Yangcheng."
"Oh, Mr. Lu, you are talking about the family of consultant Yun Xiaotian!" Zhou Zhiqian suddenly realized, but then frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt appeared in his heart. Because he knew very well that Lu Chen's sister-in-law was from the Yun family, he really couldn't figure out why Lu Chen suddenly mentioned the Yun family. Could it be... Lu Chen was planning to use his relationship to seek some benefits for the Yun family? Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiqian couldn't help but secretly speculate on Lu Chen's true intentions.
Lu Chen nodded slightly and said affirmatively: "Yes, it is their family. I have heard others mention that they have been engaged in the mining business, but I am not sure what kind of minerals they are involved in."
After hearing what Lu Chen said, Zhou Zhiqian's face became more suspicious. He couldn't help but think that the Yun family and the Lu family were related by marriage. According to common sense, Lu Chen should know everything about his in-laws. So Zhou Zhiqian couldn't help but ask, "The Yun family is a well-known mining giant in China! They own a large iron mine, a tungsten mine with a lot of production, and a manganese mine with amazing reserves. Mr. Lu, you are actually related to them, how come you don't even know these basic situations?"
Facing Zhou Zhiqian's question, Lu Chen quickly waved his hand and explained, "Mr. Zhou, to be honest, my eldest brother started a family after I went to the United States. As a result, I naturally know very little about the detailed information of my eldest sister-in-law's family. That's why I asked you today, hoping to learn more about my eldest sister-in-law's family."
Lu Chen's explanation was like a bright light, instantly dispelling the fog in Zhou Zhiqian's mind, making him suddenly realize. So that's it! No wonder Lu Chen knew nothing about the basic situation of the Yun family. Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiqian couldn't help but smile with relief and said:
"So that's what happened! Mr. Lu, you don't know that the Yun family is a well-known big family in Yangcheng! They have a good relationship with Vice Chairman Wang. With the help of Vice Chairman Wang, several members of their family hold important positions in government departments. Not only that, the Yun family's business is also booming and the scale is quite considerable. Moreover, even in the United States, there are companies opened by their family. In my opinion, your eldest brother can marry your eldest sister-in-law, which is really not a loss at all!"
