Rivals of Rebirth - Chapter 19

The day after the conversation with Wen Huaan, Zheng Jue called Zhou Chengan on the phone, and the words that Wen Huaan said were missing a little bit, and Zhou Chengan’s tone was immediately wrong.

“Zheng Sheng, I don’t know where you heard the news, but I can tell you clearly that I am responsible for the cooperation with you this time. Although my cousin’s status in the company is not low, but this project However, it is not under his control, in any case, the phenomenon you mentioned will not occur, our Zhou family has a large number of personnel, but we still know that we must abide by the spirit of the contract.” Zhou Chengan’s tone was unusually formal and calm.

Zheng Jue couldn’t help but smile when he heard it: “Young Master Zhou, I naturally believe in you. To be honest, you Zhou family, I have only contacted you, and I don’t recognize anyone else.”

After hearing this, Zhou Chengan calmed down, comforted Zheng Jue a few more words, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Zheng Jue raised his eyebrows. The thorn was finally planted. Zhou Chengan was a smart man, just to see when he would find out.

**

Zhou Chengan sat in the office with a dark face, staring at the hung up phone for a long time. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man with a frivolous face walked in. Zhou Chengan frowned slightly: “Brother, What’s up?”

It turns out that this person is Zhou Chengan’s cousin Zhou Chengyuan.

“Can’t I come when I’m fine?” Zhou Chengyuan gave Zhou Chengan a sarcastic look: “Tonight there is a dinner party at home, and grandpa asked me to inform you that you must go back, this time don’t bother about work. “

Zhou Chengan pursed his lips and clenched his fists slightly: “I see.” His tone showed a trace of forbearance.

Zhou Chengyuan looked at him like this, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more flamboyant: “What’s the use of you being serious? Grandpa doesn’t like you, even if you do your best for the company, you are just a general manager, Cheng An, brother. Today, I would like to persuade you, don’t be so stubborn, just go home and wait for the dividends, fight with me, you will lose anyway!”

Hearing this, Zhou Chengan’s expression suddenly loosened up. Against such an idiot, he would feel sorry for himself if he didn’t win.

“Big brother, I don’t understand what you are saying. The Zhou family is the property of the entire Zhou family. As a child of the Zhou family, I am naturally obliged to contribute to the Zhou family. Big brother, you have more equity than me, and you should be more attentive than me. , I’m always messing around outside, and my grandfather’s face doesn’t look good.”

Watching Zhou Chengan compete with himself, Zhou Chengyuan’s face suddenly became ugly. He was about to say something, but Zhou Chengan’s secretary knocked on the door and walked in. Zhou Chengyuan didn’t want to be ashamed in front of outsiders, so he had to look sullenly. Zhou Chengan took a look, turned and left.

Watching Zhou Chengyuan leave, Zhou Chengan’s secretary breathed a sigh of relief: “Second Young Master, Young Master is making trouble again, it’s really hard for you.”

This secretary is Zhou Chengan’s confidant, so he speaks very casually, Zhou Chengan closed his eyes slightly, with a sarcastic smile on his face: “Now he can only find a sense of superiority in front of the old man, no need Take it to heart.”

The secretary smiled and said, “That’s what I said. I haven’t come to the company for so long. Many things in the company are different from before. I don’t know how I will react when I see you in the future.”

Zhou Chengxin sneered, since he left, don’t think about coming back.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chengan suddenly remembered Zheng Jue’s previous phone call, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said, “Go check it out, who did Zheng Sheng meet with after he separated from us yesterday? By the way, be careful. Check out Lin Ai’s details, I heard that she and Zheng Shao’s ex-girlfriend are sisters, let’s see how their relationship is.”

The secretary was stunned for a moment, then smiled again: “Second Young Master and Zheng Sheng have such a good relationship, do you still need to check these?”

Zhou Chengan listened, but just smiled self-deprecatingly: “I have a good relationship with him? Yes, it is very good, Zheng Jue is an unusual person, even though I have worked with him for so long, I have not been able to see through him, you After checking it carefully, I always feel that there is something in his words.”

The secretary responded.

Zhou Chengan worked until five o’clock in the evening before leaving the company. Zhou’s family banquet always started at seven o’clock. From the company to Zhou’s mansion, it took at least one hour to drive, plus the evening peak, two hours. Just enough.

In fact, Zhou Chengan doesn’t have to be in such a hurry. He can leave the company early, but as long as he thinks of that home, he would rather stay in the company.

It’s just that the current Zhou Chengan has not completely grasped the Zhou family, so although he is disgusted in his heart, he will not easily go against the wishes of the old man Zhou.

As soon as Zhou Chengan returned to the mansion, a nanny came out to greet him. Seeing him like this, the nanny said distressedly: “Second Young Master, why have you lost so much weight? I made a good soup this time, you must make more. Have a drink.”

The nanny watched Zhou Chengan grow up, and Zhou Chengan was also willing to be close to her: “I’ve been thinking about Ma Wei’s soup these past few days. I’ll definitely drink more this time.”

Wei Ma was coaxed into a smile: “Okay, I’ll serve you another bowl later.”

As soon as Wei Ma finished saying this, a sarcastic voice came: “Wei Ma, you are so kind, and it’s good to see who you are right. Zhou Chengan hasn’t been to his ancestral house for so long, and he doesn’t even stop talking about grandpa. People, I’m afraid they have long forgotten you.” It was Zhou Chengyuan with a gloomy face who spoke.

Wei Ma’s smile froze, and she said embarrassedly, “Second Young Master is busy with his work, I know it.”

Zhou Chengyuan looked at Wei Ma uncomfortable, and was actually very proud in his heart. He hated the fact that these servants were close to Zhou Chengan, as if he was the young master in the entire Zhou family.

Zhou Chengyuan wanted to chase after the victory, but Zhou Chengan said calmly: “Wei Ma, go do your work first, eldest brother and I still have some things to deal with.”

When Wei Ma heard this, she left the entrance impatiently, walked to the living room and looked back at Zhou Chengan, with a trace of unease in her eyes, Zhou Cheng smiled reassuringly, and Wei Ma left quickly.

Watching the two of them interact, Zhou Chengyuan’s face became more and more gloomy: “I didn’t even know that you have fallen to the point of having a relationship with the next person. Zhou Chengan, you are really promising.”

Zhou Chengan ignored his provocation at all, just curled his lips slightly, turned around and entered the living room. Zhou Chengyuan’s face turned blue with anger, but thinking about what happened today, he didn’t dare to make a big deal, so he followed Zhou Chengan’s footsteps and entered the living room as well. .

As soon as Zhou Chengan entered the living room, he saw a circle of people in the room. The one sitting in the center was an old man who thought he was in his 70s. His hair was all white, but he was very energetic. He was talking to the people sitting around him with a smile. , saw Zhou Chengan come in, but his face sank: “Cheng An, why did you come back so late today, didn’t your brother inform you?”

As soon as he came in, he started to have trouble.

Zhou Chengan still had a smile on his face, as if he didn’t notice the sympathetic eyes of the people around him, and said warmly, “Brother told me, but the company is busy with traffic jams on the road, so I came back late, sorry. ,grandfather.”

It turned out that the old man was Zhou Mingrui, Zhou Chengan’s grandfather.

Zhou Mingrui looked at his grandson with a serious look, with a hint of unhappiness in his eyes. He was getting old and always hoped that his children and grandchildren would be harmonious, but Zhou Chengan had a cold personality and had a very poor relationship with his father. He tried to reconcile them twice, but they were unsuccessful, and Zhou Chengan didn’t listen to him at work, so he was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Chengan after going back and forth.

“Okay, sit down. Your father went to Paris on a business trip, and he can’t come back today. When your father comes back, you will toast him again.” Although Mr. Zhou’s tone was understated, his eyes kept following Zhou Chengan’s reaction. .

Zhou Chengan’s face was calm, but his hands were clenched tightly, and the anger in his heart was about to burst out. If you asked him who he hated the most in this world, his father would definitely be in the first place, killing him for other women. His mother almost killed him, these accounts will never be forgotten by Zhou Chengan for the rest of his life.

“Yes, Grandpa.” Zhou Chengan nodded slightly, hiding the ruthlessness in his eyes.

Looking at his docile appearance, Mr. Zhou was also very satisfied, and nodded with a smile: “Okay, you’re fine like this, and you will get along well with your father in the future.”

Zhou Chengan didn’t speak, but he was sneering in his heart, getting along with him well. If his mother could live again, he would naturally get along well with him, but unfortunately it was too late. Now he still lives in the shadow of the old man Zhou, and naturally he wants to Head down, but wait until later… later…

Zhou Chengan’s eyes were hot.

Seeing that the relationship between Mr. Zhou and Zhou Chengan had eased, Zhou Chengyuan was the first to sit still, so he quickly stepped forward and opened Mr. Zhou’s eyes, and gave Zhou Chengan a warning look, Zhou Chengan laughed to himself, and said no more. , sat aside.

This family feast ended in Zhou Chengyuan’s deliberate flattery and Zhou Chengan’s low-key introversion. Several of Zhou Chengan’s aunts wanted to have a relationship with Zhou Chengan. Although Zhou’s family is nominally under the control of Mr. Zhou, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. However, as the general manager, Zhou Chengan still has a lot of power. If they want to get some benefits, they naturally have to have a good relationship with Zhou Chengan.

But Zhou Chengan didn’t want to be too high-profile here, so he quietly pushed it over. These people were also very winking, and they looked at Zhou Chengan and talked about him, so they didn’t ask any more questions.

Waiting until the end of the family banquet, Zhou Chengan seemed to have finished a battle. He really didn’t want to stay here for a quarter of an hour, and he insisted on leaving regardless of Mr. Zhou’s retention. The angry Mr. Zhou’s face turned black, but Zhou Chengyuan was A look of schadenfreude.

Zhou Chengan left the Zhou family mansion and got into the car that the secretary drove to pick him up. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the secretary say, “Young Master Zhou, I have already checked it out. After seeing you all, Master Zheng will go to see you at Wen’s. Wen, then went back to his own apartment and never saw anyone again.”

Zhou Chengan was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly sank.
