31-40

Chapter 31

When Zhou Sheng got on the car bound for the old house of the Chu family, he acted very calm.

He could accept the fact that a marriage included not only two marriage certificates, but also the families and lives of both parties, the inevitable involvement and various trivialities.

Even if their situation was special, the marriage was a done deal.

Moreover, his cooperation with Shengyu was getting closer and closer. Even if he didn't marry Chu Qinbai, he couldn't avoid dealing with the people of the Chu family. It

was already impolite to go to Xiyuan to see Chu Qinbai's grandmother last time.

When they saw the mall halfway this time, Zhou Sheng stopped in time.

"What are you going to do?" Chu Qinbai frowned.

Zhou Sheng opened the car door and said, "Buy some gifts." Then he turned back and asked him, "How many people are there in your family? What is suitable to buy?"

Chu Qinbai looked at him for two seconds and said directly, "Don't waste this money."

"Huh?" Zhou Sheng got out of the car, propped up the car door with one hand and poked his head in, with a puzzled look on his face.

He went against the light and shadow in front of the big shopping mall. His

forehead hair fell to the end of his eyebrows because of the tilt, and his eyes were focused and dark.

Five minutes later.

Zhou Sheng looked at the person walking beside him and said, "I told you to tell me directly. I can just come in and buy it. Why do you have to follow me?"

Chu Qinbai glanced at him, "I told you not to buy it. Did you listen?"

Zhou Sheng just walked to the door of a gift shop.

He picked up one of the display boxes at the door and looked at it.

Then he said, "Then I don't want to go. I didn't see you let me go back."

Chu Qinbai took the box from his hand and threw it back: "Too expensive." Then he said, "If you really get beaten to death on the road, you still have to trouble me, your husband in the legal sense, to collect your body? Anyway, I'm the one who has to trouble you. Why don't I choose something that makes it easier for myself?"

Zhou Sheng picked up the box again.

He looked at the price tag: 188.

Zhou Sheng: "..."

He didn't care about the insults he said.

Confirmation: "Expensive?"

"It's expensive. I thought it was too expensive to take a taxi. Mr. Zhou has really become rich." Chu Qinbai glanced at the label and said nonchalantly: "188 honey, even if you feed it to stray animals on the roadside, it will still wag its tail at you. If you give it to him, he will call you shameless and you will get nothing."

"Shameless?"

"If you marry me, he will be shameless in his eyes."

Chu Qinbai's tone was like asking whether it would rain today.

After saying this, he casually said: "Of course, he will scold me even more than this. For example, he will scold me for being ungrateful, not doing his job properly, and being ungrateful, worse than an animal."

Zhou Sheng fell silent.

He turned and looked at Chu Qinbai.

This is the second floor of the mall, and there are not many people.

Next to the gift shop is a toy store. There are

two three or four-year-old children sitting on the rocking car at the door. They are holding small bubble blowing toys in their hands and are playing and giggling.

Zhou Sheng looked for a few seconds and walked over.

Soon he came back.

Then he stuffed something into Chu Qinbai's hand.

Chu Qinbai lowered his head: "What?"

"Toy."

It was a palm-sized hand-cranked drum.

Chu Qinbai stared at the little thing for a long time, then looked at Zhou Sheng.

"I'm asking you why you gave me this thing?"

Zhou Sheng: "To comfort you? Brother Chu looked very upset just now."

This tone was very similar to Chen Dengdeng.

Chu Qinbai shook the drum in his hand speechlessly.

He frowned and said, "Zhou Sheng, how old do you think I am this year?"

Zhou Sheng turned around and continued to walk forward, saying, "It doesn't matter how old you are whether you are in a good mood or not. Nowadays, this kind of handicraft looks of average quality. When I was a child, I had a small drum similar to this one. My father made it himself, and I have been carrying it with me for more than ten years. Whether it is difficult or when I can't hold on, as long as I see this mood, I feel good."

Chu Qinbai hooked the red rope loop below.

Walking half a step away from Zhou Sheng.

Imagine him shaking the small drum.

Asked casually: "It seems that Zhou Qicong treated you well when you were a child?"

"Maybe." Zhou Sheng said ambiguously.

Zhou Sheng had also heard about the stalemate between Chu Qinbai and his son.

But he was not the kind of person who would pry into other people's privacy at will.

He thought that no matter how calm Chu Qinbai acted, he would definitely express regret for this father-son relationship.

Until Chu Qinbai suddenly said, "What a pity."

"What a pity?" Zhou Sheng asked.

Chu Qinbai looked at the little thing in his hand and said, "It's a pity that not every man who is a father in this world can be called a human being."

As he said that, he suddenly inserted the small drum into the back of Zhou Sheng's neck.

Zhou Sheng was startled and turned back: "What are you doing?"

"I don't need this little thing to comfort myself." Chu Qinbai stopped his hand from taking it with his backhand, suddenly bent down, and said close to Zhou Sheng's ear, "I wish he would die soon."

Zhou Sheng's pupils dilated slightly.

The two were too close.

When Zhou Sheng turned his head, his ear even lightly brushed against his side face.

But Zhou Sheng did not lose consciousness because of this brief skin contact. In Chu Qinbai's eyes at close range, he saw a brief ruthlessness and seriousness like a whirlwind. It

was so brief that it made people feel that it was an illusion.

Because Chu Qinbai stood up again soon.

He resumed his usual lazy celebrity look, and gently brushed Zhou Sheng's hair with his index finger. He said with a curled mouth: "Your surprised expression is also quite rare, Mr. Zhou. Going back with me to be scolded, what is this called? This is called husband and wife are one, sharing the hard times."

Zhou Sheng returned to normal and slapped his hand away.

Looking at him: "Are you the wife?"

Chu Qinbai raised his eyebrows, "Do you think it's possible?"

At this time, Zhou Sheng's phone rang.

Seeing the caller's name, Zhou Qincong.

Zhou Sheng clicked to answer: "Are you sure it's him? Yes, I called the police. When I just got off the plane, a car tried to rear-end me, and then I was attacked at the entrance of the venue... I'm fine, if my stepmother wants to make a fuss, let her make a fuss. Dad, this matter is handed over to the police and it's not my business. As for how to judge, the attempted injury should not be very serious. There's no harm in letting him go in and learn a lesson..."

A woman's hysterical cry could be heard through the phone.

Zhou Sheng pinched his eyebrows, "It's nothing, I'm hanging up, Dad."

"Wait." Zhou Qinong called him and hesitated: "Zhou Sheng, I know it was your brother who did something wrong this time. He has no sense of propriety and has been spoiled by his mother. But we are a family after all. He was also scared. He said he just gave money to find someone to find you, but he didn't expect them to hurt people. I have already beaten him up severely. You..."

At this time, Zhou Sheng's mobile phone was taken away by Chu Qinbai.

"Dad." Chu Qinbai called again.

Zhou Qinbai seemed to be choked: "...Qinbai? Are you together now?"

Chu Qinbai went straight to the point.

"Please tell the police."

"No forgiveness, no reconciliation, what should be sentenced."

Chu Qinbai said: "They are all your sons. Zhou Sheng is now the general manager of Zhou Group and holds an important position in the group. What's more, Zhou Sheng is not only your son and the general manager of Zhou Group, but also my legal partner, Chu Qinbai. Even if Zhou Sheng is willing to make a big deal out of a small matter, I will not agree to it. He deliberately hurt someone because of the struggle for power, and the one who hurt was his own brother. If you want to cover up, then I will directly activate my legal team." Zhou

Qinbai was frightened when he heard it.

He quickly said: "Qinbai is not that serious, and Zhou Song's mother and I don't mean that."

Chu Qinbai's legal affairs are well-known in the industry.

He has never lost any lawsuits involving infringement, rumors, and even those he had with others in his early years.

Using it to deal with Zhou Song is really making a fuss.

Moreover, this person who was originally thought to be very at odds with his eldest son, now took the initiative to deal with his other son.

Zhou Qicong didn't know whether he was relieved or heartbroken.

Chu Qinbai didn't give the other party a chance to speak again, and hung up the phone directly.

He threw the phone to Zhou Sheng.

Then he said: "I thought you would agree to your father to let him go."

"Others may be possible, but forget about Zhou Song." Zhou Sheng frowned and said: "It takes too much time to deal with him."

Chu Qinbai nodded: "I am really honored that Mr. Zhou is willing to take the time to go back with me."

Zhou Sheng was speechless.

I don't know who forced people to get in the car.

On the other side, in the living room on the first floor of the Zhou family.

Zhou Qicong kicked Zhou Song in the knee and kicked him to the ground, cursing: "Rebellious son! Bastard!"

"What are you doing!" Shu Meili went up to pull him like crazy, "You want to beat your son to death! If anything happens to him, I will never let you go!"

Zhou Qicong waved the woman away.

Pointing at her, he angrily said, "You taught him to do this? Now the police have come to our house!"

"What did Zhou Song do? What did he do? Isn't your precious son fine now? Nothing happened to him, but he wants to send my son to jail!"

"Dad, Dad." Zhou Song moved over to pull Zhou Qinong's trouser legs.

Looking up, he begged, "Tell the police that I really didn't want to do anything to Zhou Sheng. Those people lost their sense of proportion. It's none of my business!"

"You're still quibbling?"

Zhou Qinong was so angry that he was breathing heavily.

He kicked Zhou Song again, "Zhou Sheng, Zhou Sheng, that's your brother! He just woke up after lying in the hospital for a year. Have you ever thought about the consequences? You are so cruel! Why did I give birth to a fool like you!" Zhou Song

wiped his face and got up from the ground when he heard it.

The cowardice at the beginning was gone, replaced by anger.

He yelled, "Yes! I just can't stand him! So what? Isn't it because of your own partiality? Ever since he joined the company, have you still seen me as your son? The position of general manager should have been mine, and I could have done the Fucheng project, so why did it have to be him? Why?!"

Zhou Qinong's face turned purple.

He covered his chest and slowly sat down on the chair next to him.

He seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

He didn't yell loudly anymore.

He just looked at Zhou Song and said, "Yes, it's all my fault. I didn't care about your brother when he was young, and I haven't taught you well now. This is my responsibility. But Zhou Song, you know in your heart, can you take that position? Even if the Fucheng project is given to you, can you do what Zhou Sheng is doing today? Follow the police, Chu Qinbai said that if he protects you, he will send out the legal team. Your mother and I can't help you this time. When you come out after a while, we will talk slowly."

Shu Meili collapsed and cried on the spot.

She cried and cursed: "I knew Zhou Sheng was not a good guy. He used to curse us when we were young. Now he is different. Not only did he occupy the company, but he also teamed up with Chu Qinbai to kill us!"

"Shut up!"

Zhou Qinong said, "Listen to what you are saying!"

"I'm talking nonsense?" The woman pointed at her chest, her face full of tears. "Zhou Qincong, tell me honestly, how have I, Shu Meili, ever let down your Zhou family? I gave birth to a son for you, and I have to raise another son for you, but in the end, I didn't get any favor from you. Instead, you blamed me for not teaching Zhou Sheng well. Now it's all right. Look, since he woke up in the hospital, has the family had a peaceful day? And that Chu Qinbai, did he treat you well when you pushed him there? Now I don't know what kind of magic potion Zhou Sheng has given him. In my opinion, Zhou Sheng must have run into something dirty, which made you all so abnormal!"

Zhou Qincong grabbed a teacup and smashed it to the ground.

Shu Meili screamed in fear.

Zhou Qincong was seen holding his chest and couldn't breathe.

Shu Meili was frightened again, and quickly got up and rushed over: "Old Zhou, Old Zhou! Don't scare me! Where are your medicines?"

She was used to being a housewife these years.

She could argue for her son in every possible way, but she couldn't imagine how she would live without Zhou Qincong.

She fumbled to get the medicine bottle out of his pocket.

She poured two pills for him to swallow.

The Zhou family was in chaos.

Zhou Sheng himself was not much better.

He and Chu Qinbai were both blocked in the men's restroom.

The men's restroom in the mall was cleaned very cleanly, with a fresh fragrance.

Even so, when Zhou Sheng was pushed into the innermost cubicle of the toilet, his steps seemed a little flustered.

"What should I do?" Zhou Sheng asked the person in front of him while listening to the chaotic movement at the door.

Chu Qinbai motioned to him, "Call Fan Xuan."

This cubicle was very small.

Zhou Sheng even had difficulty turning around.

Push him: "Stay away."

Chu Qinbai raised his eyebrows and stepped back slightly.

When Sister Fan received the call, "Zhou Sheng?"

When she heard that they were in the mall and Chu Qinbai was not only recognized by fans but also blocked in the toilet, Fan Xuan's voice instantly rose: "Chu Qinbai!" "Can

you speak louder?" Chu Qinbai directly reported the address, and then said: "The old way, hurry up, there are more and more people outside."

"Are you crazy?"

Hearing the noise, Fan Xuan was packing up her things, and people had already started to move, but she didn't forget to scold him, "Haven't you learned enough from the last subway station? Why are you wandering around the mall! Wait, I'll send someone over right away. And don't let anyone take pictures."

She put away the phone.

Zhou Sheng took it back.

Looking at him dissatisfied, "I told you not to come in."

"Then I'm going out now?"

"Problem." Zhou Sheng grabbed him, looked at him twice, frowned and said, "Your disguise is too unprofessional."

Chu Qinbai chuckled twice: "Then it seems that Mr. Zhou is very experienced?"

Disguise is one of his basic skills.

It is enough for him to despise Chu Qinbai, who is perfunctory.

Zhou Sheng pulled his black mask, and it snapped back with a light sound.

Lightly: "Better than you."

☆ 34. Chapter 32

Chapter 32

The staff put on clothes similar to Chu Qinbai's, covered them like a spy fleeing in panic and led people away, finally giving the small bathroom some breathing space.

Zhou Sheng helped take the hat from Fan Xuan.

He walked back in and put his hand on Chu Qinbai's head.

He looked at him for two seconds and commented: "You are a beautiful woman, but you are treated like a thief. What do you think?"

"Speak human language." Chu Qinbai glanced at him. Zhou Sheng

shook his head: "I praise your beauty."

Chu Qinbai turned around to wash his hands, raised his head from the mirror and looked at Zhou Sheng behind him. Chu Qinbai's eyes, the upper eyelids of his eyes were slightly open at the end of his eyes, and the sharpness was polished under the hat, making him look insightful.

He said, "Do you always praise others like this?"

Zhou Sheng thought for a moment, "Not necessarily."

"For example?"

"For example, if someone is really average looking, I can only say that you are well-read and knowledgeable."

Chu Qinbai nodded, "You called me illiterate, I understand that."

Zhou Sheng: "Where did I call you that? People can't be too greedy. Having one of these two is something most people can never achieve in their entire lives." Chu Qinbai

turned off the water, took the tissue next to him, and slowly dried his hands.

He squeezed them into a ball and threw them into the trash can.

As he turned around, his hands, which were slightly cold after being touched by the water, covered Zhou Sheng's eyes unexpectedly.

He took him a step back and touched the partition behind him.

Zhou Sheng felt Chu Qinbai approaching.

The tip of his hair brushed across his face, and Chu Qinbai's breath was right beside his ear.

He said, "Being a thief in the bathroom, I feel that Mr. Zhou has many faces, but only when he is sharp-tongued, it makes people feel that being a thief is not a bad thing. It is a good thing in the world."

Zhou Sheng pulled his hand down.

He raised his eyes: "Are you kidding me?"

Chu Qinbai looked at him, "After all, Mr. Zhou is both talented and handsome, right?"

Zhou Sheng made a harmless joke to him, and naturally did not mind this kind of return.

Just then, the urging voices of Fan Xuan and others came from the door.

Zhou Sheng pushed them away a little, "If you don't leave now, you may be stuck in the bathroom overnight."

The two went out one after the other.

They were led by the staff of the mall to evacuate from the emergency passage.

Fan Xuan stuffed the two into the car.

The big agent sat in the co-pilot and took several deep breaths to curb his anger.

Looking at the two men behind as usual.

He picked a normal topic, "I was dawdling in the toilet for a long time just now, what were you doing? You were almost discovered."

Chu Qinbai: "Where are you getting off? The intersection ahead?"

Fan Xuan: "... Chu Qinbai! I am your mother, right? The kind that you throw away after use."

Chu Qinbai said in a normal tone: "I don't have a mother your age, and you know that my mother has been dead for many years."

Fan Xuan's breath was stuck in her chest, unable to go up or down.

She moved her eyes to Zhou Sheng next to her.

She saw him flipping through his phone.

She asked: "Are you okay? Will it be on the hot search again? I should have informed the media, so it shouldn't be."

"What?" Zhou Sheng looked up in confusion, reacted, and then said: "Sorry, I just received two work emails."

Fan Xuan: "..."

Excuse me.

She looked at Chu Qinbai, who was adamant, with a complicated expression.

Looking at Zhou Sheng again, she remembered how he looked when he was just discharged from the hospital. Compared with the busy man in front of her with his head down, he seemed to have not changed, but also seemed to have changed a little.

At that time, Zhou Sheng was like the morning dew, refreshing and cool, more distant, reserved, and alert.

Now he is calmer and more stable.

The atmosphere he brings affects every place he is in.

Just like when he was surrounded by fans with Chu Qinbai, he could immerse himself in his own things, as if his pace would never be disrupted by the outside world.

Zhou Sheng, like this, unconsciously made Fan Xuan give up targeting Chu Qinbai.

Instead, he said to him: "Mr. Zhou...?"

"Sister Fan." Zhou Sheng put down his phone and said helplessly: "Just call me Zhou Sheng."

"Okay, Zhou Sheng." Fan Xuan was not a shy person, and said directly: "After this period of time, I thought about it, and the original agreement was not fair to you. Of course, the company has not yet made a public plan for your relationship, but we will speed up the process just in case. But if there is such a thing again in the short term, please remind him. He is really going backwards and forgetting who he is."

Zhou Sheng glanced at Chu Qinbai.

He nodded to Fan Xuan and said, "Okay."

Then he added, "But we rarely meet."

The word "meet" was used very subtly, not together, nor in private.

Meeting means contingency and uncertainty.

While Zhou Sheng agreed, he also indirectly reminded Fan Xuan that he always abided by the initial confidentiality commitment and never intended to go beyond it.

Fan Xuan felt awkward for no reason.

After all, she was the one who made the request in the first place, and now she was telling people this.

As a result, she finally glared at Chu Qinbai fiercely.

The car stopped.

Chu Qinbai opened the car door for her and finally spoke.

He said, "You should go."

Fan Xuan wanted to throw the bag in his face.

After all, she was worried before getting off the car. She remembered that Chu Qinbai was in a bad mood every time he went back to the old house.

But she had no right to stop people from going back. In the end, she just said, "Director Yang is already urging them to speed up the progress. I will do the rest of Shengkai's segmentation process for you. If there are any questions, I will send them to you in time. Don't go back and waste too much time."

"Got it." Chu Qinbai agreed.

He closed the car door and told the driver, "Let's go."

He went to the mall to buy things, and was surrounded in the toilet.

They arrived at the old house of the Chu family a full hour later than Chu Xuming.

It was already dark.

It is called an old house, but it is actually a high-end villa.

Compared with the place where Chu Qinbai lives in Donghu, the European style here is very obvious.

There is a small fountain pool on the dam in front of the door.

The two climbed up the stairs. The servant at the door seemed to be waiting early. He took the gift from Zhou Sheng and bent down and said, "Third Young Master, the master and the eldest young master are already waiting in the restaurant."

"Let's go." Chu Qinbai stepped in.

The servant lowered his eyes and stood still.

He did not express any opinion on Zhou Sheng's identity and arrival.

This atmosphere makes people feel depressed for no reason.

Walking into the hall.

There are really only two people.

Zhou Sheng saw Chu Xuming at a glance.

Compared with the elder brother Zhou Sheng knew who talked eloquently when they first met, now he sat upright, as if he was framed by the whole house and the atmosphere, and he actually looked blurry.

Then there was an old man at the top.

Zhou Qicong was a normal father's age, and Zhou Sheng would not describe him as an old man when he saw him. But Chu Jianxiong, who was once a big shot in the business world, looked more than ten years older than Zhou Qicong. He was

in good spirits, but his hair was already gray.

His eyes were drooping because of loose eyelids, forming an inverted triangle shape. When looking at people from bottom to top, people feel like prey being stared at by an eagle, and they can't help but feel scared all over.

But it's just a feeling.

Now the old man is in a wheelchair, and it seems that he has reached the second half of his life.

And the two sons don't have much in common with him.

"Qinbai, Zhou Sheng, come in and sit down."

Chu Xuming greeted first.

"Big brother." Zhou Sheng called out.

Look at the old man, then look at Chu Qinbai.

Chu Qinbai walked over with Zhou Sheng without any expression and sat down. He had no intention of calling him dad from the beginning to the end.

Chu Xuming kicked his stool: "Qinbai!"

"You let him be stubborn."

Chu Jianxiong finally spoke, and did not look at Zhou Sheng. He picked up the napkin on the table, unfolded it, and put it on his knees. While picking up the knife and fork, he continued: "Has anyone in the Chu family been more stubborn than him? As the eldest brother, how can you be so humble in front of him?"

Chu Xuming frowned: "Dad, he finally came back, can't we have a good meal?"

"Is it because I don't want him to have a good meal?"

A man who is used to being in a superior position, even if he is old, the momentum is still there.

Cutting the steak on the plate, he said: "Bringing some unsavory people back, I think he deliberately doesn't want me to have a good meal."

Unsavory, at least he is not as shameless as Chu Qinbai said.

Zhou Sheng sat more comfortably.

Chu Jianxiong has been in the business world, and his mind is hard to discern. In Zhou Sheng's eyes, he is just an old man who has lost his ability to move. He is neither as fierce as the sword-carrying warriors in the guild hall, nor as fast as the bullet pointed at the back of his head. Chu Qinbai,

let alone, has been at freezing temperature since he entered the house. He acted

as if no one was around, and it didn't seem like he was going home.

Only Chu Xuming seemed to be the one who was really anxious. He said, "Dad, Zhou Sheng is working at Zhou's now. You should have heard about the Fucheng project. He was the one who made it happen. You are too harsh in your words."

Chu Jianxiong then turned his gaze to Zhou Sheng.

He said, "I know Zhou Qinong. I have only been guarding his things in my life, and I have not made any progress. The only time he was smart was probably when he gave you to my son Chu Qinbai. Zhou Sheng, right? The Chu family will not recognize you."

Chu Qinbai put down the fork in his hand with a click.

Sarcastically said, "The Qing Dynasty has been gone for a hundred years. Where does this sense of superiority come from? Do

you think people care about you?" "Qinbai." Chu Xuming frowned, "Talk to Dad properly."

Chu Qinbai leaned back in his chair, folding his hands.

Then he said, "Let me come back for dinner, I'll eat. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Zhou Sheng's chair was already warm, so he was taken up.

"Stop right there!" Chu Jianxiong shouted suddenly.

He drove the automatic wheelchair over here and stopped three meters away.

As if he was not used to the way he was shorter than others, he stepped back a little. The cane in his hand pointed at Zhou Sheng, but his eyes were fixed on Chu Qinbai, "Get a divorce, and I'll pretend that what happened today never happened."

Chu Qinbai seemed to have heard a joke.

He said, "Dad."

He called someone, but you could feel that it would be better if you didn't call him.

As expected, Chu Qinbai said slowly, "I didn't bring people back just to see you. Don't be so self-indulgent. And it's not your turn to say who I marry or whether I want to divorce. If your legs and feet are not good, just take a good rest."

The next second, the cane was suddenly thrown at Chu Qinbai.

Zhou Sheng, who was standing next to him, saw the flying object, grabbed something on the stool at the door behind him, and waved it casually.

"Pop!"

The two came into contact, and the debris flew.

The situation was quite tragic.

There was silence at the scene.

Zhou Sheng looked at the remaining bottleneck in his hand and felt familiar.

Chu Qinbai next to him said casually, "You're right, this is the bottle you gave away."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

There were fragments under the feet of several people, and the deep wooden cane was waved back by Zhou Sheng.

Finally, it rolled to the foot of Chu Jianxiong's wheelchair and stopped.

Zhou Sheng slowly put the remaining intact small piece on the table and said to Chu Xuming, "Sorry, my hand is too fast."

Chu Xuming, who was stunned by Zhou Sheng's reaction speed: "..."

He didn't even dare to look at the old man's face.

Finally, a young woman in a light blue dress came out. She handed over a pure white handkerchief and whispered, "Third Master, your face is broken."

Zhou Sheng noticed at the first time that this young woman, who should not even be 30 years old, actually looked a bit like Chu Qinbai's mother Qin Ruo when she was young.

Although Zhou Sheng had only seen photos of her at his grandmother's house in Xiyuan,

he could still tell at a glance.

Moreover, the woman's eyes were timid. She seemed to be very afraid of Chu Qinbai, but she couldn't help but move closer to him.

Chu Qinbai glanced at the woman and didn't take it.

He rubbed his thumb across the cheekbone, looked at the red on his fingertips, and said, "No need."

Zhou Sheng looked at him and found that his cheekbone was scratched by a thin blood line.

This injury was almost not worth mentioning to Zhou Sheng. But

Chu Qinbai was an actor.

And he was going back to the crew soon.

This matter was a big deal.

In the car outside the gate of the Chu family, Zhou Sheng took the medicine box that the woman had personally handed over.

He opened it with familiarity and found cotton swabs and medicine.

The woman and Chu Qinbai were standing outside.

Zhou Sheng heard that the woman did not call Chu Qinbai "Third Young Master" as she did just now in the house, but called him "Brother Chu".

Chu Qinbai sat against the front of the car with his arms folded, and Zhou Sheng could only see his back.

They talked for about two minutes.

The woman left with red eyes.

Zhou Sheng knocked on the windshield and motioned him to come in.

"Aren't you curious and want to ask?" Chu Qinbai got in the car and closed the door.

Zhou Sheng tore open the package and said casually, "Curiosity kills the cat."

Chu Qinbai acted as if he didn't hear it, and continued to talk to himself, "Her name is Bai Zhi, she graduated from the Film Academy, one year younger than me, so she's my junior sister."

Zhou Sheng saw that he didn't shy away from the topic.

So he asked, "What about her and your dad?"

"She has been with him for several years. I'm not sure about the details, but they didn't get a marriage certificate anyway."

Zhou Sheng imagined a big drama in his mind.

He dipped a cotton swab into the bottle and dipped it in the medicine, saying, "Your junior sister has admired you for a long time, but your father intervened halfway. Under the power-for-sex transaction, your junior sister had no choice but to follow your father? Is this the fuse that caused you to suddenly join forces with the Zhou family a year ago?"

Only the dimming lights were on in the car.

Chu Qinbai looked over, "With such a rich imagination, why are you still a general manager? You should be a screenwriter."

Zhou Sheng had the medicine bottle in his hand and had to kick him.

Frowning: "Don't move, turn your face around."

Chu Qinbai seemed impatient, raised his head and hid back, "No need to wipe it."

"Hurry up." Zhou Sheng ordered.

Chu Qinbai glanced at him, clicked his tongue, and lowered his head slightly to get closer.

Zhou Sheng pressed the cotton swab on him.

Chu Qinbai: "Do you want to kill someone?"

Zhou Sheng saw that he didn't even frown, so he used what he said to stop him. "What good will I get from killing you?"

He lifted his chin with the back of his hand, and applied the medicine with a slightly rough motion, saying, "This mark won't go away in a few days."

"Who do you blame?" Chu Qinbai lowered his eyes to look at him.

Zhou Sheng looked at him and admitted, "Blame me."

Chu Qinbai's skills were more than enough to dodge a cane.

Even if he was hit by it, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Now, the mark is left in such a conspicuous place.

Zhou Sheng himself has no skills, and all he has is an on-the-spot reaction to a crisis.

That's why Chu Xuming was scared at the time. He

simply applied the medicine.

Zhou Sheng looked at the area on his cheekbone that was smeared with a completely different skin color from the surrounding area.

The wound added a bit of wildness to him, especially when he pulled down the mirror in front of the car and looked up.

"Is there any way to remedy it?" Zhou Sheng asked with a frown.

Chu Qinbai raised his hand to close the mirror and looked over, "What do you want to fix?"

"Fix your face, otherwise how can you shoot?"

"Why don't you call Yang Zhicheng and ask for leave?"

"Can I?"

After all, it was done by myself, so he should explain it if he can.

Zhou Sheng took out his mobile phone and found Yang Zhicheng's number.

Before it was broadcast, Chu Qinbai took it away.

He sneered, "How can you be so fooled?"

"What?" Zhou Sheng didn't react.

Chu Qinbai: "Just cover it up with makeup. You haven't been angry enough tonight, and you want to call Yang Zhicheng to scold you?"

Zhou Sheng: "He won't scold me."

Chu Qinbai nodded: "Then you know he is afraid of affecting his state and thinks that you gave me leave in Fucheng? He needs your help on Fan Zhongqing's matter, so of course he can't bear to scold me. He will only turn around and scold me for being lustful, deliberately coming back to meet you secretly, and even breaking my face."

Zhou Sheng looked at him with a speechless look.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Chu Qinbai glared at him: "Is this the hell? I know something even more outrageous, do you want to hear it?"

Chapter 33

Zhou Sheng came back very suddenly this time. After attending the exchange meeting, he also went to Chu Qinbai's home with Chu. It was originally a short planned trip, but the Zhou family was in trouble and Chu Qinbai returned to the group with injuries.

The next day, Zhou Sheng planned to return, but was suddenly notified that Zhou Qinong was hospitalized.

It was only then that Zhou Sheng learned that he had been diagnosed with cardiovascular problems for some time and had been treated with drugs before. This time he went to the hospital because of Zhou Song's matter. The doctor said that he had to undergo cardiovascular bypass surgery, otherwise he would be in danger.

Zhou Song was locked up and was still going through the process and waiting for a judgment.

Shu Meili was confused and could do nothing except crying, so Zhou Sheng handled everything from top to bottom. On

Monday morning, Zhou Qinong had not woken up yet.

The company's senior management came to visit at the same time.

"Zhou Sheng, how is your father? He has always been in good health, why did he suddenly get sick?"

"I heard that Zhou Song was taken away by the police? Is it related to your father's illness?"

The assistant who had been with Zhou Qinong for many years had to block them for Zhou Sheng.

He comforted: "Dear directors, Mr. Zhou's surgery went smoothly. The doctor said he can be cured after he wakes up."

"In addition, Zhou Song's matter is Mr. Zhou's family affair. Mr. Zhou has also explained all his affairs in the company. It will not delay the company's affairs. Please be patient."

Zhou Qicong was suddenly hospitalized.

This was a fatal blow to Zhou.

The personal interests of everyone in the company were related, and no one could remain indifferent. The

only person they could find was Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng stayed up all night.

Even Zhou Qicong's assistant felt sorry for him because he looked bad.

He stopped him and turned around and said to him: "Mr. Zhou, you go back first. I'll watch here."

"It's okay."

Zhou Sheng patted his shoulder and motioned him to move aside.

I stood at the window of the corridor outside the ward, looking at a group of people and said, "I know that Mr. Zhou suddenly fell ill and everyone is shocked. I am also very grateful to all the old directors who have followed him for many years and care about his health. As the general manager of Zhou's and as the son of Zhou Qinong, I promise everyone here today that he will be fine, and the company will be fine too."

Everything Zhou Sheng has done since he joined Zhou's is obvious to all.

These people trust him.

But there are also those who don't believe him, and there are even those who want to fish in troubled waters to profit.

"Zhou Sheng, we uncles are not trying to embarrass you. You also understand the situation of the company. Your father is really sick at a bad time."

"The company has to move forward. Someone has to make a decision on what the rules are."

"Look at you, you may not be able to take care of such a big stall in Fucheng. Tell me, this..."

At this time, the door of the ward suddenly opened from the inside.

The nurse pushing the medicine came out.

He looked at the group of people with dissatisfaction, and then said: "The patient has woken up, let you all go in. And pay attention, the patient needs to rest, you can't stay in there for too long."

When they heard that someone had woken up.

Some people applauded, and some people's eyes flickered.

Zhou Sheng remained calm, and in his mind, he matched the personnel with the company's situation he knew one by one.

The curtains in the ward were open.

Zhou Qicong was lying on the bed with his eyes half open.

After an operation, the whole person's spirit seemed to have been dispersed a lot, and the fatigue of the old man was suddenly revealed.

These people asked him how he felt.

Zhou Qicong spoke but directly called Zhou Sheng at the back.

When Zhou Sheng stood in front of his bed.

Zhou Qicong said weakly: "You go to Fucheng this time to deal with things properly, and then come back to Lancheng completely."

When this came out, the expressions of the people around him were different. After all,

Zhou Qicong has been running Zhou's for so many years.

His expression was very calm, and after saying this, he turned his gaze to other people.

After looking around, he said, "Many of you here today have been together since Zhou was first established. Some of you came later, but they have been together for quite a while. When we were young, we talked about ideals and livelihoods, but at the peak of our careers, we lost our original intentions and only had interests in our eyes. I am old, and you are no longer young, but our next generation is in the prime of life. This time when I am in the hospital, I plan to let Zhou Sheng take charge of the company's affairs. He is not old, so many things depend on your care."

After all, Zhou Qicong has woken up.

Those who are concerned can't say anything more.

They can only say, "It should be, Zhou Sheng is young, but he is very capable."

"During this period of time, Zhou's current situation is also thanks to him."

"Mr. Zhou should take care of himself. We are all waiting for you to get better and take us further."

When he finally sent this group of people away.

Zhou Qicong's face was a little more tired than before.

Looking at Zhou Sheng who didn't say much from beginning to end in front of the bed.

Zhou Qicong tilted his head and asked him, "What do you think?"

Zhou Sheng lifted the quilt for him.

"Just rest assured and recuperate, don't worry so much. I will take over the company's affairs temporarily, and I won't make any mistakes."

As a filial son, Zhou Sheng can only say that he has fulfilled his responsibilities.

He will not refuse to take responsibility for what he should take and deal with.

Zhou Qicong suddenly reached out and held Zhou Sheng's wrist.

Looking at him seriously, "I'm asking you, are you ready? It should not be difficult to hear what I said just now. Zhou Sheng, you are more capable than me now. If you are successful this time, I plan to retire."

Zhou Sheng leaned forward slightly to cooperate, and he was not surprised to hear this.

There was no surprise.

He would not think that Zhou Qicong, as a father, finally decided to hand over the company to his eldest son. What

he can see is the roots under an enterprise, the people on the roots, and the world and family behind them. Once taken over, every decision and action is closely related to these people. When he

took over the Zhou family's business, it was because it was the hard work of several generations of Zhou family members from his father to his father.

Later, the country was in trouble and the Zhou family was overthrown and ceased to exist, but Zhou Sheng believed that he was worthy of the Zhou family for every penny of all the money.

If his father were alive, he would definitely support all his decisions.

In today's world,

there is no need to sacrifice one's life.

The father-son relationship with Zhou Qicong is not even that deep.

When he entered Zhou's family, he was not aiming for the highest position.

For him, no matter what his identity is or where he is, as long as he can still do what he wants and what he can do, it's fine.

Zhou Sheng said, "You are still young." Zhou

Qicong let go of him, waved his hand slowly, and smiled, "I'm not young anymore. I'm old. In the past, you would probably call me an old man."

Zhou Sheng was silent for a while.

Zhou Qicong's illness is neither serious nor minor.

As long as he pays attention in the future, he can continue to support Zhou, but his intention to retire is not fake.

Zhou Qicong seemed to know what he was thinking.

He said, "If you are still the same as before, I will have to hold on even if I can't get up. But it's different now. Sometimes I wonder how you suddenly got it? Your vision and ability in running a business make me, as a father, feel ashamed. But I won't dwell on this issue now. There are so many mouths waiting for food. I am relieved to hand over the company to you, and I believe you will do better than me." At

this time, there was a snapping sound at the door.

It was Shu Meili who had just come back from getting water. She dropped the bottle of boiled water in her hand to the ground.

The woman's face was full of shock.

She looked at the father and son in the ward, and she was really panicked at this time.

She didn't even dare to rush in and make a scene like before.

Because she realized that she really couldn't do anything. For so many years, she has been relying on Zhou Qicong to live, without a job, and knows nothing about the company.

She used to think she had a son, but he ended up in jail.

When Zhou Qicong fell, she realized that this was what it felt like when the sky fell.

The young man standing in front of the bed was not the Zhou Sheng she knew in her memory.

He would not quarrel with her.

He would not get angry easily because of a few words from her.

He rushed to the hospital as soon as he received the notice, and he handled the whole process from hospitalization to surgery communication. At the same time, he also took care of the affairs in Zhou's company, comforting people, and making sure everything was done properly.

If her son was finished,

she would be finished too.

Zhou Qicong withdrew his gaze from the woman's distraught face.

Finally, he said to Zhou Sheng, "It's okay here, don't stay here, go back and have a rest. Qian Sheng and Zhu Qin, who you brought with you, are both capable people, and they are gradually getting started with the affairs in Fucheng. You can appropriately put your focus back on the management of the head office. As for Xu Chao, if you find him easy to use, promote him to a special assistant position, and his future treatment will not be much worse."

Zhou Sheng said nothing else.

"Then you have a good rest. I'm leaving first."

Zhou Sheng walked past the woman without looking back. As soon

as he left, Shu Meili rushed to the bedside.

Because Zhou Qinong had just had an operation, she didn't dare to really press him. She

could only question him with messy hair: "The doctor said that as long as you have a good rest, your body will be fine. Zhou Song was taken away by the police, and you handed the company to Zhou Sheng. What do you mean, Zhou Qinong?!"

Zhou Qinong closed his eyes in annoyance and didn't want to pay attention.

Shu Meili insisted: "If he becomes the head of the Zhou family in the future, there will be a way for me, Shu Meili, and your youngest son to survive? You want to force us to death too, don't you?!"

"Shu Meili!"

Zhou Qinong reached his body and turned his head.

He pulled the wound and fell back.

The woman was shocked and quickly reached out to press him.

Zhou Qinong's face turned red with pain. He had been married to Shu Meili for many years and knew that she had a temper but no brains.

In the past, the company took up all his energy, and he was too lazy to say anything to her unless she made trouble in front of him.

Now he couldn't help but point at her nose and scold her: "You are so short-sighted! You only care about money all day long. Don't you know why Zhou Song was arrested? Even if I gave him the company, it will be squandered sooner or later. If you don't make trouble every day, will Zhou Sheng bother you for no reason? Didn't you see his face just now? He stayed up all night and was not much better than me who had surgery. Do you think running a business is just a matter of signing? If his body is not helpless, I would rather he do nothing!"

Shu Meili's mind was confused.

From her son's accident to Zhou Qinong's hospitalization, she was confused.

At this moment, she only knew that Zhou Qinong not only did not help her. He

also spoke for Zhou Sheng everywhere.

She sneered: "You think about him everywhere, but I don't think people think of you as their father!"

"I don't care." Zhou Qinong's voice slowed down.

Shu Meili stopped talking at that time.

Zhou Qinong was lying on the bed, looking out the window and said, "Shu Meili, Zhou Sheng is also my son, not someone else. He almost died before, and I heard that he got sick again due to the flood in Linshun County. I don't even have the position to care about him, and now I am putting Zhou's pressure on him. If you still want Zhou Song to come out and have a serious job in the future, you should know what to say and what not to say. "

Shu Meili was not afraid of Zhou Qinong's anger, but she was afraid that he would speak in such a tone.

She knew that he was determined this time.

She fell down on the chair next to her.

On the other side, Zhou Sheng left the hospital and went directly to Zhou's Enterprise.

The original plan was that he should stay in Fucheng for another two months, but now it was suddenly advanced and the workload increased by multiples.

Xu Chao flew directly from Fucheng to Lancheng.

He brought back a lot of information and organized plans, all waiting for Zhou Sheng to sign.

The office was still the same one before he left.

But this time it was not empty like last time. When Zhou Sheng walked in, the administration had already cleaned it up completely.

A whole wall of bookshelves, all-black desks and chairs, and well-equipped computers.

As soon as they entered the company, they started a meeting.

It lasted from morning to afternoon.

Several pieces of news were also circulated wildly throughout the company.

——Boss Zhou is ill, and the situation is unclear.

——The general manager was urgently transferred back to Lancheng to take over all affairs.

——The brothers' fight has come to an end, the younger son is in jail, the eldest son wins, and it is just around the corner for him to take over Zhou.

People who don't know the situation below inquired about the news and spread it like a miracle.

"He was sent directly to jail, so cruel."

"Our general manager went to Fucheng not long after he came, and now he turned around and won a great victory."

"I heard that he has great means."

"When Boss Zhou fell ill, everyone in the company was in a panic, but when he came, all the voices were suppressed."

"I heard that the senior management went to the meeting, but I don't know what it was about?"

Sort out the system process, grasp the key information, and delegate power appropriately.

Zhou Sheng spent a whole day to understand what Zhou Qinong had done before, and suppressed all the impacts brought by the news that the person in power in the company was hospitalized. His means were neat and his decision was clear. At

five o'clock, the last meeting ended.

The people below were discussing and walking out of the meeting room.

Xu Chao returned to Lancheng and stayed beside Zhou Sheng, also wearing a suit.

After finishing his things, he came over with a frown and said to Zhou Sheng, who was holding his hands and closing his eyes, "Brother Sheng, you should go back first. Counting last night, you haven't slept for 32 hours in a row." Zhou

Sheng let go of his hand, raised his head and leaned back in his chair.

Relaxing his body, he asked him, "How is Qian Sheng and the others doing?"

"After Lao Qian and Xiao Zhu knew that your return trip was uncertain, they directly talked to several manufacturers. Except for one that lowered the price, everything went smoothly. Don't worry."

Zhou Sheng nodded and stood up.

"Okay, then I'll go back first today."

Xu Chao followed him: "Brother Sheng, where are you going? I'll take you there."

"Donghu."

Xu Chao followed him out and said: "You are the only one at home, right? Is that so-and-so not here?"

"His name is Chu Qinbai, what so-and-so." Zhou Sheng said: "He just left." Xu

Chao complained: "I said that people in the entertainment industry are unreliable. He didn't care about such a big thing as your father's surgery. You are left alone to run around, both in the hospital and in the company. You must be exhausted."

Zhou Sheng didn't tell Xu Chao too much about his and Chu Qinbai's situation.

He only said: "He didn't know that Mr. Zhou was hospitalized."

What's more, his own father hated him. He

couldn't care about anything .

When he returned to Donghu, Mrs. Zhang was shocked to see him.

After taking his coat, she frowned and said, "I heard that your father was sick last night. You didn't come back all night, so I guessed you had to stay with him. You're not going to Fucheng this time, right? I've got soup in the pot. Go take a shower, drink two bowls, and then have a good sleep."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang." Zhou Sheng said with a smile.

Aunt Zhang sighed, "What are you thanking me for? You two haven't even been back for two days, and you're leaving. Now you're staying, I can't wait."

Zhou Sheng smiled.

He took a shower.

While sitting on the sofa waiting for Aunt Zhang to serve the soup, he couldn't help falling asleep.

Aunt Zhang came out with the bowl, stood there and looked at it for a long time, shook her head and took the bowl back.

Zhou Sheng felt that he had only closed his eyes for a moment.

When he opened his eyes, he found that it was completely dark.

He was covered with a thin blanket, and the living room was shrouded in a dim warm light.

At this time, a light blue object slid over.

"Mr. Zhou, you're awake."

"Charlie?" Zhou Sheng woke up and sat up, slightly surprised: "Long time no see."

"Long time no see, Mr. Zhou." Charlie rolled his wheels in front of him and said seriously: "According to the body surface data, you are in a state of deep fatigue. It is recommended to take a proper rest and ensure adequate sleep."

Zhou Sheng nodded, "I will."

"The soup is simmering in the kitchen, the temperature is just right, do you need it?"

Zhou Sheng lifted his feet off the sofa and stuffed them into the soft slippers.

Asked him: "Mrs. Zhang told you?"

Charlie: "No, my master set a reminder to let me remember to remind you after you wake up."

Zhou Sheng paused: "Chu Qinbai?"

"Call me?"

When Chu Qinbai's voice came from Charlie, Zhou Sheng lifted his feet and sat back on the sofa, kicking out a slipper at the same time.

Zhou Sheng frowned and looked questioning.

"Charlie?"

Chu Qinbai's voice came out again: "You talk to a machine program as if it were a conversation between people, but hearing people's reactions is like seeing a ghost. Is it so scary?"

"Is it really you?" Zhou Sheng paused, "Isn't this a robot?"

Chu Qinbai seemed speechless. After two seconds, he said, "This is a family butler model AI, with remote monitoring and detection functions."

Zhou Sheng: "Are you monitoring me?"

Chu Qinbai, who was thousands of miles away, had just arrived at the hotel less than 24 hours ago.

The boxes spread out on the floor had not been sorted out yet.

While sorting out the things at hand, he was looking at the tablet screen. When he heard this, he casually said, "I don't have the time to monitor you. I heard that your father was hospitalized? How is the situation?"

Zhou Sheng didn't ask him how he knew.

He has so many people in Lancheng, and Zhang's wife is still at home. He knows nothing strange.

Zhou Sheng was still curled up on the sofa.

He said, "It's okay. The operation went well."

Chu Qinbai nodded, not caring whether the other side could see it.

He continued, "You know your own physical condition. Don't move in to take care of Zhou Qicong while he's still in the hospital. No matter how many people you need to support in the company, you have to support yourself first."

Zhou Sheng: "Mr. Chu, is this your experience?"

"Just a kind reminder."

Zhou Sheng felt strange being watched but not being able to see anyone.

He decided to end the conversation, "Thank you, I'll go have some soup."

"Go ahead."

Zhou Sheng didn't know if the other party had stopped talking.

He paused for a few seconds and stepped on the carpet.

Chu Qinbai looked through the camera at the pair of feet that were sunk into the gray carpet, with thin ankles and light blue blood vessels.

He looked for a moment and said, "Put on your shoes."

The toes visibly curled inward.

The next second, a blanket flew over.

The camera went black instantly.

☆ 36. Chapter 34

Chapter 34

After Zhou Sheng became the agent of Zhou Enterprise, he spent most of his time in the company.

If it is said that when he was in Fucheng, he went down to the grassroots to do practical things, and this process was equivalent to groping for the way, then after taking over Zhou, the previous experience laid the foundation for him to truly control this enterprise.

Everything that seemed to be logical and handy

was based on facts.

Fucheng had Qian Sheng, Zhu Qin and the like, and the head office had the strong support of the old general manager Zhou.

The new acting president Zhou Sheng, the general manager Zhou, was promoted at an amazing speed.

"You have a lot of things to do now, in fact, you can change someone."

On the plane, Chu Xuming glanced at Zhou Sheng beside him, frowned slightly, and then said: "I can imagine how many emergencies you will encounter if you take over so hastily. When I took the position of Shengyu today, I had prepared for more than half a year in advance, and I myself worked in the group management position for several years, but I still felt overwhelmed at the time."

Zhou Sheng is now accustomed to such business trips. For

flights of more than three hours, he tried to keep himself in a comfortable environment.

At this moment, he had taken off his coat early, and the shirt with good texture did not make people feel uncomfortable.

He leaned back in the chair and moved his somewhat stiff neck.

He smiled and replied: "This business trip has been postponed for more than half a month. The person who was confirmed earlier is related to the development of the western strategy in the next three years. No matter what, I should go on this trip."

"Can your body handle it?" Chu Xuming looked worried, "I see you are thinner than before."

"Really?" Zhou Sheng really touched his face with the back of his hand.

Then he said: "Maybe, when you are busy, you consume more quickly, such as today is hot again, summer is bitter."

"You are still bitter in summer?"

Chu Xuming naturally did not believe it, "I saw that you didn't feel sweating all the way here."

Zhou Sheng smiled: "In the past. Since I was discharged from the hospital, I have indeed become a little afraid of cold."

When Zhou Sheng was a child, he was most afraid of summer.

The several big banyan trees in front of Zhou's house would chirp non-stop in summer. He couldn't sleep for a nap at that time and loved to make noise.

Later, Zhong Qing came and took him to climb the tree with a net bag to catch cicadas. Every time he was sweating from the heat, he would have a high fever the next day. Not only did he have to take the nasty Chinese medicine, but

he also had to be beaten for it. Even later, compared to the cold and snowy winter, he disliked the hot and unbearable summer more. It

was normal to lose some weight every summer.

But now his physical fitness has changed too much. The doctor has said that his resistance is not good, and he is more comfortable in summer.

The air-conditioning temperature on the plane was around 27 degrees, which was a bit low for Zhou Sheng.

He stopped the passing flight attendant and asked for a thin blanket. He

turned around and asked about Chu Xuming's words just now, saying, "I thought it was a sudden thing for the eldest brother to take over Shengyu." After

being in the same circle for a long time, some things will naturally reach your ears.

The change of the person in charge of Shengyu Group is a big deal in the industry.

Chu Qinbai suddenly attacked, Shengyu's stock plummeted, and Chu Jianxiong was forced to abdicate. All of this happened within a short month.

Many people speculated that this was a means for the rich to compete.

In the end, Chu Qinbai suddenly fell silent, and turned around to still be active in the entertainment industry. Many people did not expect Chu Xuming to take over Shengyu.

Chu Xuming knew what Zhou Sheng was talking about.

He was treating his family, so he didn't intend to hide some things from him.

He said directly: "Qinbai's actions have actually been deployed for nearly two years. There is one thing you should not know, 30% of Shengyu's shares belong to his mother Qin Ruo. At that time, even his father only had 28%. If he really wanted Shengyu, it would be effortless."

Zhou Sheng showed a little surprise.

Chu Xuming smiled bitterly: "But he doesn't want it. He just wants to take away the part that belongs to his mother, so there is a gambling agreement with Shengyu."

Zhou Sheng thought, no wonder.

No wonder he asked him before, whether he suddenly became angry a year ago because of Bai Zhi, who looked very similar to his mother next to his father.

He turned around and said that he had a rich imagination.

Chu Xuming said again: "Zhou Sheng, I hope you don't take it to heart that you went back together last time. Dad may not really be targeting you, and the situation between him and Qin Bai cannot be explained in a few words. There are some things that even I don't know."

Just then, the flight attendant brought back a blanket.

Zhou Sheng took it and said thank you.

At the same time, he said: "Brother, I will be in a subordinate relationship with him when I go back. He doesn't care, and I won't care either. Don't worry about this."

Chu Xuming thought to himself, I am too relieved.

He can't figure out what's going on between these two people now.

If you say it's not good, they look quite normal when they get along.

But if you say it's good, it's not at all.

Zhou Sheng took over Zhou's enterprise and was busy day and night.

The other one plunged into the crew and didn't even see his shadow for a month or two. Now the news that he is leaving Shengkai is making a lot of noise on the Internet, but he himself has not made any movement.

Chu Xuming suddenly asked Zhou Sheng.

"The place we are going to this time is next to Qidong. Do you want to visit the set with me after the show?"

"Visit the set?" Zhou Sheng asked, "What do you mean by visit?"

Chu Xuming sighed in his heart, lamenting that as the eldest brother, he was really worried about Chu Qinbai.

He immediately said, "Go to the crew to visit. If you don't read social networks, you probably don't know that people on the Internet are scolding him now. I'm afraid he can't bear it psychologically."

Zhou Sheng looked at Chu Xuming with suspicion: "..." Although

Zhou Sheng rarely reads entertainment news,

he still knows roughly how famous Chu Qinbai is.

Especially before, he witnessed his influence in Linshun County and saw him being surrounded by fans and unable to leave the toilet.

And Chu Qinbai can't bear it? Isn't this just talking nonsense?

Even so.

After getting off the plane and getting in the car,

Zhou Sheng still searched his name on the Internet.

The first message that popped up was really scolding him.

——It was confirmed that the actor Chu left Shengkai, and his ungrateful and treacherous nature was vividly reflected.

The whole article describes the development history of Chu Qinbai's debut.

After going through all kinds of gossip, the conclusion is that during the critical period of Shengkai's transformation, he chose to separate from the company at this time, which means he forgot his original intention and broke his promise.

There are various opinions below.

"The business of Mr. Chu's studio has little to do with Shengkai. Is there anything wrong with him doing this? Shengkai is signing new people all year round, aren't they all using his name?"

"Have you forgotten Ren Qixuan? I heard that Mr. Chu himself is very dissatisfied with this matter. Could it be because of him?"

"The above is also funny. Who is Ren Qixuan? The fans of "Floating Life Dream" have not yet woken up to the fact that the role was replaced. How important is he that Chu Qinbai made such a big fuss?"

"What are you discussing under a black account? This media is notorious. There are few people in the entertainment industry who have not been criticized by it. Chu, the actor, has a black physique. Don't give this media attention."

This is just under a report.

Zhou Sheng clicked on the entertainment section.

He found that the first three were all about Chu Qinbai.

Just a normal job change like splitting up with Shengkai can cause several parties to quarrel.

Zhou Sheng was confused.

Chu Xuming asked him: "How is it? I didn't lie, did I?"

Zhou Sheng said: "The environment is really bad." Chu Xuming

: "Yes, this circle is like this. There are many minors. If you are not guided a little, big things will happen accidentally. Especially now that Shengkai has signed a lot of traffic, the fan base is generally not very mature. By the way, have you met Lu Ming?"

Zhou Sheng thought of the man he met when he first went to East Lake.

Nodding: "We just met once."

Chu Xuming nodded: "You should have heard of the Lu family. They were originally in the real estate business. Lu Ming is an illegitimate child. He was not easy to mess with in his early years. He knew Qin Bai when they were in school. The year he was filming, Lu Ming was suppressed by other members of the Lu family. Qin Bai helped him, and later they jointly established Shengkai. Lu Ming is a utilitarian person. We could see the clues a few years ago, and it is becoming more and more obvious now."

Whether it is Zhou or Shengyu, the business they are doing now has nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

Zhou Sheng does not understand the operating model of that circle.

But Zhou Sheng can also see that Chu Qinbai is not only half the boss of Shengkai, but his current identity as an actor seems to give him a heavier label.

Zhou Sheng: "Have they turned against each other?"

"That's not the case." Chu Xuming shook his head, "Lu Ming and Qin Bai... How should I put it, the relationship is still different."

Zhou Sheng was guessing how this relationship was different.

Lu Ming himself really went to the film and television city.

The film and television city is a town under Qidong.

It covers a large area.

In addition to the aborigines, the main thing is a film and television tourism base that integrates sightseeing, ecological vacation, and film and television shooting and production.

Chen Dengdeng was always at the service, fearing that she would neglect the boss who came from a thousand miles away.

"Boss Lu, have some water."

Lu Ming sat on a small wooden stool next to a Republic of China street, holding a small Republic of China round fan in his hand, fanning his face vigorously, and asked, "How long will your brother Chu take?"

"I don't know, at least three hours."

Chen Dengdeng handed over a pack of paper considerately.

This was filmed on the street, and the electric fans that could be used in the crew were all with the director, so she didn't dare to move them. She

just whispered, "Why didn't you tell the boss in advance if you were coming?"

Lu Ming was anxious, and the 37-degree high temperature sun in the film and television city made him feel uneasy.

There was no trace of him in the company, acting like a big boss in front of a group of little stars.

He frowned and said, "If I could make sense with your brother Chu, why would I come here to suffer this?" He ordered Chen Dengdeng, "Come, blow the small fan in your hand for me."

Chen Dengdeng wanted to laugh.

He knew that brother Chu deliberately didn't answer Boss Lu's call.

At this moment, he suppressed the corners of his mouth, held back his smile and handed over the pink fan in his hand.

He sat on the street for four hours.

It was until Chu Qinbai got off work.

He probably learned about Lu Ming's coming from Chen Dengdeng early in the morning. When he changed into his casual clothes and came, there was no surprise on his face. He took a new bottle of water from the small table next to him, unscrewed it, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Lu Ming's eyes were resentful.

After waiting for a long time, his anxious heart shrank.

At this moment, looking at Chu Qinbai, who had sweat on his temples but didn't look tired at all, he was too lazy to stand up. He

just kicked the remaining stool next to him forward and said, "Sit down."

Chu Qinbai sat down.

He put the water bottle on the stone steps behind him.

He said, "It's useless for you to come. I made it very clear when we went back for the meeting last time. Fan Xuan has already paid you all the contract money, and I'm giving you a 20% discount. Are you still not satisfied?"

"Old Bai, this hurts my feelings."

Lu Ming's face turned serious.

A big man in a suit was sitting on a small stool, looking a little funny.

He didn't look like Lu Ming, the boss of Shengkai Elite at the moment. He

looked like an ordinary man with a little loneliness.

Looking at the sun shadow dividing line under their feet, Lu Ming said, "Sitting together like this, doesn't it look like when we were teenagers sitting on the playground? At that time, you were a campus celebrity. You played ball and a bunch of girls gathered around to watch you. But you have always had a cold face since you were a child. I can't even count how many love letters I have received for you."

Chu Qinbai supported his knees with his elbows.

He glanced at Lu Ming from the side.

"Feeling emotional?"

Lu Ming looked back and smiled reluctantly: "I just feel that the changes are too great. We are both about to be thirty."

Chu Qinbai looked calm, "You are quite sentimental today."

"Brother Chu." Lu Ming clasped his hands and looked ahead, his expression more serious than ever before: "From the beginning to the end, I owe you a thank you. It was so difficult for me at the beginning. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would be like. In the years of running Shengkai, I have always said that I will take care of the management, and you can just focus on filming, but I also know that you have always been pulling me along."

Pulling Shengkai, pulling him.

Chu Qinbai patted Lu Ming's shoulder and said nothing.

Lu Ming's desire to talk reached its peak at this moment, as if there were some things that he couldn't say now, and he couldn't say them after this time.

This is not Shengkai's office, and there are no people from Sister Fan's studio.

There are staff members around who are busy setting up machines.

The sun is very hot, just like every afternoon many years ago.

Lu Ming said, "I know you have made up your mind. I also know that Ren Qixuan had some other things before, and I went a little over the line, but I really don't want to go to this point. We have known each other for many years. Others see us as glamorous. Few people know that more than a decade ago, when we could only shake fists at others. I know you. No matter how many negative comments there are outside, you are still the Chu brother before, but I can't seem to go back."

Chu Qinbai smiled.

He said, "Lu Ming, I am not the Chu Qinbai of my teens. No one can go back, we can only keep moving forward."

Lu Ming looked at him sideways.

Chu Qinbai: "Your positioning of Shengkai is in line with the development of the current circle. I want to invest in standardization. I didn't stay in Shengkai just because I didn't intend to do the star incubation business. I told you all this a long time ago. Is it worth it for you to come here in broad daylight to reminisce with me?"

Lu Ming seemed to be choked.

He was also embarrassed.

After Chu Qinbai said this, he calmed down and complained: "It's because the online shouting was too fierce these two days. I have a guilty conscience and feel that Shengkai can still produce the next actor even if you lose it, but... I treat you as a real friend."

When he was young, Chu Qinbai was wilder than he is now.

He was not short of money, except for a grandmother, who was like a wolf running through the wind and clouds.

Lu Ming was not welcome in the Lu family at that time.

As a result, he was bullied by his brothers and sisters at school.

It was accidental that I met Chu Qinbai.

At that time, someone had already discovered him and half a foot had already stepped into the circle.

Fighting for him, the cooperation was almost ruined.

That afternoon, he sat on the roof of an abandoned building with Qu Ruyi, Chen Musong and others who were not familiar with him at that time. He said shamelessly: "Brother Chu, when I have the ability in the future, I will definitely give you the best resources!"

At that time, Qu Ruyi and others beside him laughed so hard.

He said on the side: "Come on, if Chu Qinbai can control his bad temper, he will definitely be very famous."

"If he really wants resources, will he lack them?"

Lu Ming didn't know that he was the youngest son of the Chu family at that time. He did

n't know that his mother was the famous movie star Qin Ruo.

In the following years, Chu Qinbai did have a lot of negative news, but it didn't stop him from winning one award after another. He

became famous at a young age and has been popular for a long time.

And he put all his energy on Shengkai.

With Chu Qinbai's existence, even if it is just a figurehead, Shengkai has been going smoothly in recent years.

The Lu family has been different in the past two years. Those repressed days when they were young and couldn't see the sky seem to have passed long ago. He became the famous boss of Shengkai, and the little stars had to respectfully call him Mr. Lu when they saw him.

He gradually lost his way and couldn't find the right direction for a while.

Until Brother Chu was about to leave, this decision was like a wake-up call.

In fact, this was something he had a premonition a long time ago, but he just didn't want to admit it.

Admit that they have gone too far and gradually embarked on different paths.

If you keep some words in your heart for too long, you will feel uncomfortable.

But once you say it out loud, it seems that it is no big deal.

He came here this time not to keep you.

It is more like finding an outlet for himself.

Lu Ming's embarrassment doubled in Chu Qinbai's indifferent and disdainful words.

At the same time, he felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

He took a deep breath and stood up.

"Don't shoot anymore? Let's go and have a big meal!"

Chu Qinbai looked at him as if he was a fool.

"It's not even four o'clock now."

Lu Ming rolled his eyes at him, "Dad, do you know that I haven't eaten breakfast or lunch? I've almost had a heart attack these two days. Get up and eat with me. It's so hot here, you don't have to worry about heatstroke when filming."

Two hours later.

The most expensive hot pot restaurant in the film and television city.

Lu Ming ate for half an hour and then stopped his chopsticks.

He said, "If I wasn't worried about the bad influence, I should invite Director Yang and others to have a meal together."

"What influence?" Chu Qinbai asked casually while leaning on the chair.

Lu Ming gave him a knowing look, "Ren Qixuan's incident, his fans were almost scolding Yang Zhicheng's family. The company sent a notice to the fan club before they calmed down. How can I have the face to invite them to dinner now?"

Chu Qinbai glanced at him.

"Yang Zhicheng is not a person who cares about such things."

Lu Ming sighed, "I know that too, but I really don't dare to make such connections casually now. Fans are too difficult to control. Hey, I'm here today. Tell me honestly, is it true that you were angry for your boyfriend in the crew?"

Chu Qinbai leaned back in his chair.

"Didn't I tell you the reason?"

"I know that Ren Qixuan's role adaptation problem, but you can't fake your anger, right?"

Chu Qinbai raised his eyes, "What you should consider is the degree of your artists' behavior."

"Is this an admission?" Lu Ming was shocked, "So you really have someone outside?"

Lu Ming didn't get much more information than the outside world.

The only thing he knew was that there was indeed another person involved in the replacement of Ren Qixuan.

As the boss, he didn't ask much at the time and acquiesced to Ren Qixuan's release of the press release.

But who knew that he would really offend Chu Qinbai.

As for this mysterious person, Lu Ming thought he was from the circle, so he didn't care much.

He just didn't believe the rumors.

After all, Chu Qinbai was married.

Cheating was not something Chu Qinbai would do.

Lu Ming pondered: "True love? Who is it?"

At this time, Chen Dengdeng knocked on the door of the private room and came in.

"Brother Chu." She said: "Mr. Chu is on a business trip, and he said he would come to visit after he finishes."

Lu Ming was surprised when he heard it: "Your eldest brother is coming? Then I have to stay here for two more days. I have to see him at least." Chu Qinbai

frowned: "When?"

"It was said to be tomorrow, and if it's later, it will be the day after tomorrow." Chen Dengdeng looked at the message and said: "By the way, Mr. Zhou is here too."

"Which Mr. Zhou?" Lu Ming put down his chopsticks and asked.

Chen Dengdeng was puzzled: "Mr. Zhou is Mr. Zhou, which Mr. Zhou?"

Chu Qinbai: "Zhou Sheng."

Turning to Chen Dengdeng, he asked: "Come together?"

Chen Dengdeng shook his head: "Not sure about that."

Lu Ming reacted for two seconds and swallowed.

The last time he saw Zhou Sheng was when Fan Xuan arranged for him to go to Donghu, and he even tried to smooth things over.

It's been a long time.

Lu Ming asked in a low voice: "Has your relationship with someone outside been exposed?"

Chu Qinbai looked at him without saying anything.

Lu Ming continued: "You didn't make things so big that you couldn't hide it, and he teamed up with your eldest brother to make trouble for you, did you? This Zhou Sheng is so powerful now, he dares to find trouble in front of you?"

Chen Dengdeng next to him slowly said: "Mr. Lu, you..."

"What's wrong?" Lu Ming looked over.

Chen Dengdeng: "It's quite funny."

Chapter 35

Lu Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with his question. The Zhou Sheng in his memory was the one who had been in the hospital for a year, moved directly to Donghu, forced Chu Qinbai to not return home, and is still filming outside.

He didn't really think Chu Qinbai was hiding from him.

Most of the time he was just too lazy to pay attention.

"How did he get involved with your eldest brother?"

Lu Ming was very curious about this.

Chen Dengdeng answered directly for his boss.

There was an inexplicable pride in his tone, and he said: "Mr. Zhou is working seriously with President Chu. He is now in charge of the entire Zhou Group and is usually very busy."

"Are you sure we are talking about the same person?"

Lu Ming was completely confused.

He looked at Chu Qinbai who was very calm next to him.

Kicking him, "Tell me something."

Chu Qinbai frowned and avoided Lu Ming's harassment, and said, "Zhou Qicong is ill, and Zhou Sheng is now in charge of Zhou's business."

Lu Ming showed an incredible expression, but he was not targeting Zhou Sheng's question. He said, "Old Bai, I find that you are too calm. And Zhou Sheng, that's Zhou Sheng. With his character, will the Zhou family have no successor? If it is handed over to him, it will be ruined in a minute?"

Most of the dishes on the table have not been touched.

Chu Qinbai sat leisurely, and his left hand, which was placed on the round table, turned the mobile phone in his hand over and over on the table twice.

It seemed like he was responding to Lu Ming, but not like that.

He said slowly, "But he has been doing surprisingly well all along."

"You know all this?" Lu Ming started to pick up the chopsticks again.

After all, in his impression, Zhou Sheng was not worth his investment of energy.

But then he nodded and said affirmatively: "Then this is definitely your illusion, or he has some shameful deal with your brother behind your back. Your brother has been thinking about you quitting the circle for a long time, right? I have always known that he has a problem with me. I admit that I do everything for money, but how many people live without fame and fortune? If you ask me, unless you are a great immortal, your brother can't lead Zhou Sheng. If he wants to follow, he can come. I am still here, so why should I be afraid of him?"

Chen Dengdeng muttered beside him: "It's not certain who is afraid of whom."

This happened to be heard by Lu Ming.

Chopsticks pointed at the little girl, "Old Bai, you have to manage your assistant. Why do you only boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"

Chen Dengdeng couldn't listen anymore.

Seeing that Mr. Lu was in the entertainment industry and was ignorant of what was happening outside, and that it was not easy for him to come thousands of miles to find his boss and whisper, Chen Dengdeng finally decided to forgive him.

"Brother Chu." Chen Dengdeng turned to ask for advice, "Do I need to arrange accommodation for Mr. Chu first?"

Chu Qinbai raised his chin: "Go and arrange it. Book a room in the hotel where we are staying."

Chen Dengdeng looked disappointed, "Brother Chu, are you sure Mr. Zhou won't come?" When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "Oh, if Mr. Zhou comes, you can live with me. We lived like this before in Linshun County. Then I will go to arrange it first."

Chen Dengdeng said to himself and opened the door and left quickly.

Lu Ming was left in a mess.

Unbelievable: "You two slept together?"

Chu Qinbai looked at him coldly, "Eat your meal."

Chu Qinbai didn't predict whether Zhou Sheng would come, he just knew that Chu Xuming's purpose was not to visit the set.

Even if he came under the name of visiting the set, he would not stay overnight in the film and television city.

It must be said that his prediction was more accurate than Zhou Sheng's.

Zhou Sheng did have a feeling that Chu Xuming might be deliberately creating opportunities.

But he didn't think too much about it, after all, he didn't plan to go.

It's not just a matter of working hours. Yang Zhicheng has always misunderstood and felt that he might affect Chu Qinbai's condition. He thought that no matter what, it would be better for him not to go.

Next to Qidong is their main destination this time.

The main purpose of coming here on a business trip is to meet the leaders of the Enterprise Value Research Institute, the organizer of the last seminar held here.

They are very interested in the Fucheng project.

The Fucheng project was launched by Shengyu, and Zhou Sheng had originally planned to come for the previous seminar. But because Zhou Qinong was suddenly hospitalized, and a series of things happened afterwards, the original itinerary was delayed until now.

"Mr. Zhou is younger than I thought."

Liu Shengshi, the initiator of the institute and also the president of the Xinyuan District Honor Association, said this when he saw Zhou Sheng.

After that, he did not forget to joke with Chu Xuming, who he knew, "Now it seems that you young people really appreciate each other."

Chu Xuming laughed, "This is not just a matter of appreciating each other. Can ordinary people catch your eye?"

Zhou Sheng replied at the right time, "President Liu has been committed to exploring the core value of small and medium-sized enterprises in the past two years, helping to position and improve them. Whether it is Zhou or Shengyu, there are things in President Liu that are worth our self-reflection."

President Liu laughed, "Although Mr. Zhou is young, he has an extraordinary demeanor. Now that Zhou is in your hands, I am really optimistic about it."

This business trip was mainly to demonstrate the core value and development direction of the project.

The information was complete, and Zhou Sheng was an eyewitness.

So it ended smoothly.

The end time was the afternoon of the next day.

Zhou Sheng was told that the flight to Qidong had been booked.

And he was going alone.

Chu Xuming received an unknown call and told him directly: "I have something urgent to deal with, so I have to go back first. I asked Zhou, but it's nothing important. I will help you take care of your father at the hospital. I can only trouble you to go alone. I have arranged it. Someone will pick you up there. Sorry, Zhou Sheng, be careful on the road."

As the eldest brother, he gave him earnest instructions, but he didn't even want to give a specific reason. He

just left Zhou Sheng alone at the airport.

Zhou Sheng was speechless for several times holding the boarding pass.

An hour and a half later, Zhou Sheng landed at Qidong Airport.

There was another reason why Zhou Sheng finally came here, that is, Yang Zhicheng also sent a message after knowing that he was in the next city.

He said that the filming was at the end of the period and asked him to go and see it in person.

Zhou Sheng also had a little curiosity about You Zhongqing's filming location.

In the end, he agreed.

Chen Dengdeng and the driver Xiaolin were waving and waiting for him at the exit.

"Why did you come together?" Zhou Sheng asked.

Xiao Lin came over to take his luggage, and Chen Dengdeng opened the car door beside him, saying, "Mr. Chu just told the boss that you're coming alone. The airport is far from the film and television city. You have to take the subway and then transfer to the bus. Brother Chu asked us to come and pick you up."

Zhou Sheng got in the car, "How is your shooting here?"

Chen Dengdeng frowned.

"Don't mention it, it's so hot, especially for the actors. Brother Chu has a set of clothes with four layers inside and a coat outside. It's very handsome, but I can't stand it."

Zhou Sheng laughed twice.

Xiao Lin started the car and asked, "Mr. Zhou, why did you come here alone? Didn't Mr. Chu arrive at the airport?"

Zhou Sheng said, "Mr. Chu has something urgent to do."

He didn't mention anything else.

It was already afternoon when they arrived at the film and television city.

As soon as they entered the town, Chen Dengdeng apologized and said, "Mr. Zhou, I should have taken you to the hotel to put your luggage first, but our car was requisitioned by the crew this time and it has to be used at a certain time. So we will take you to the set first and go back with the crew later, okay?"

"Of course, come as you like."

When he said this, Zhou Sheng turned his eyes to the car window again.

Zhou Sheng saw the magnificent palaces, which were arranged in an orderly manner. He saw the solemn and beautiful black walls, and the flags fluttering in the wind seemed to be able to hear the shouts and roars of soldiers and horses.

In a blink of an eye, it was a lively market again, a mixture of ancient and modern costumes.

This place is like a world full of wonderful colors.

The grand scene of thousands of years of change is right in front of him.

Until the car stopped and the door opened.

Zhou Sheng was immediately attracted by everything in front of him.

It was an old street, with shops lined up along the slab-paved road.

Teahouses, pubs, pawnshops, workshops, all familiar scenes to Zhou Sheng. People were bustling back and forth, seemingly chaotic, but it was a thriving and lively scene.

But it was different.

There were machines set up all around, and there were staff wearing short sleeves and bare chests.

Someone else was holding a loudspeaker and shouting: "Everyone, walk slower, slower, the ones behind! Parade? Look at the grocery stalls on the roadside, interact with the bosses, hurry up!"

Zhou Sheng was suddenly pulled back by such a voice.

Standing at the intersection, in a trance.

Chen Dengdeng looked at the scene, walked up and whispered in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, it's being filmed now, the extras are moving. I'll go find where Brother Chu is first, you find a place without the sun to rest for a while, I'll be back soon."

Zhou Sheng looked ahead, "It's okay, you guys just do your own things, I'll just take a look."

Chen Dengdeng walked away with confidence. He

was grabbed by someone after walking less than 20 meters.

Pulling her to the street corner, he raised his chin and gossiped, "Who is it?"

There are more people in the film and television city than in the mountains. I don't know how many people Zhou Sheng has.

Chen Dengdeng looked back.

At that moment, for some reason, Chen Dengdeng's heart tightened inexplicably.

Mr. Zhou was wearing a white shirt, and because it was summer, he was not as neat as before. He rolled up his sleeves to his elbows and stood there quietly. There were people passing by him, but it seemed that he was the only one standing there. You didn't know what he was looking at, but you just felt that the scene was inexplicably sad.

"Where is Brother Chu?" Chen Dengdeng asked.

The staff around him replied, "They are filming in Group B, right?"

Chen Dengdeng immediately said, "I'll go find Brother Chu first. Please help me keep an eye on him and don't let him walk around!"

The staff were all stunned.

She looked at the person not far away.

She wondered if this was the new actor?

He was so handsome that she didn't dare to approach him to talk to him. Besides, he was an adult, how could she keep an eye on him?

As a result, Zhou Sheng was really lost.

When Chen Dengdeng went over, Yang Zhicheng was talking about the play.

Several actors sat around him, and Chu Qinbai leaned on the side.

Seeing someone coming over.

Chu Qinbai asked, "Did you get the call?"

"Yes, I got the call." Chen Dengdeng pointed to the side, "Group A is at the street corner. I was afraid they were filming, so I asked Mr. Zhou to wait there."

Yang Zhicheng also heard what Chen Dengdeng said.

He waved his hand to interrupt the talk.

He said directly, "Call the people over when they arrive. We are just taking a break and not filming."

As a result, Chen Dengdeng couldn't find anyone.

From the time she left to the time she came back, it was less than 20 minutes, and Mr. Zhou disappeared. She

was so panicked that she almost cried in front of Brother Chu.

Zhou Sheng didn't actually go far.

He just left the two places where he was filming and was on the next street.

This side is also an old street, but without the extras and vendors, it looks particularly empty and desolate.

Zhou Sheng stood in front of a big door.

The wide open red painted door could see into the main hall at a glance.

From the appearance of the stone pier in front of the door to the design of the porch, everything is restored to the degree of one-to-one with the drawings that once flowed out of his pen.

Let Zhou Sheng stand here, as if he is standing in Zhong Qing's world.

It's as if the young man in the old-fashioned suit came back from the other end of the street, strode over the threshold, and excitedly said to the people around him: "Today's Luohan prawns taste good. You can ask the chef at home to make it tomorrow and let everyone try it together."

The next second, he looked back at himself.

He smiled brightly.

He said, "I thought who was visiting, Zhou Shengsheng, come on, call me uncle."

Zhou Sheng unconsciously took two steps forward.

The next second, someone grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

The force was not small, and Zhou Sheng hit the chest of the person who came.

The picture faded instantly, and Zhou Sheng looked up and saw Chu Qinbai's face.

He frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"

☆ 38. Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Where do I want to go? When Chu Qinbai asked him that question, Zhou Sheng asked himself the same question while looking at the door behind him. The

final conclusion was that he didn't want to go anywhere.

Standing here was just inevitably reminded of the past.

He knew better than anyone that those old people and old things that he would never see again had long been buried in the dust.

Each era has its own stories.

It's just that other people here see movie sets and artistic structures. What he saw were vivid marks and the reality of the past, nothing more.

Only Chu Qinbai's attitude was something he couldn't understand.

His aura was serious and blatant, and the strength of his inward arms made him suspect that he wanted to crush his bones.

His eyes were dark and unclear, like a question or a test.

Zhou Sheng thought he couldn't enter here, so he slowed down, motioned him to let go, and then said, "Sorry, I won't go in."

But Chu Qinbai still didn't let go.

He glanced at the gate behind him, then led the man to his side unnoticeably, stared at him calmly and said: "Others are looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Zhou Sheng showed a little surprise, "Sorry, I didn't mean to wander around. I just saw this place at the intersection and felt familiar, so I walked here unconsciously."

It has been a while since they last met.

Zhou Sheng's eyes swept over Chu Qinbai's cheekbones.

He didn't put on makeup on his face in the hot weather, and a light brown mark could be clearly seen across his cheekbones.

Zhou Sheng pointed at his face and asked him: "Hey, did Director Yang scold you?"

"Do you still have time to pay attention to this?" Chu Qinbai glanced at him, turned around, and took him away from the street, saying as they walked: "How is the business trip going?"

Seeing that he didn't let go, Zhou Sheng didn't bother to break free.

He walked forward with his footsteps.

His feet stepped on the dead leaves on the stone road, and the whole street was gradually left behind.

Zhou Sheng answered him: "It's OK. The people in the institute know my brother. It went smoothly."

"Are you talking about that Liu Shengshi?" Chu Qinbai stared at Zhou Sheng's profile while speaking. Seeing that his mind was following his words and nodded, Chu Qinbai continued: "This person is indeed not simple. He used to be a member of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Later, in response to development, he came here to serve as the president of the Honorary Association. He has a wide range of connections."

Zhou Sheng was completely attracted by his words.

Asked him: "How do you know?"

"I know a lot." Chu Qinbai glanced at him and said lightly: "Ask whatever you want to ask."

Obviously, it seems more appropriate to discuss work matters with Chu Xuming.

But since we've come to this point, Zhou Sheng still asked, "Do you think that if Zhou leans in this direction, will the benefits outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the benefits?"

"It depends on what you focus on."

Zhou Sheng: "Tell me more about it."

"Mr. Zhou." Chu Qinbai suddenly stopped, curling his lips, "Aren't you afraid that I'll fool you?"

Zhou Sheng looked at him for two seconds and shook his head, "I'm not someone who's easy to fool."

Chu Qinbai laughed twice from his throat.

Then he continued to walk forward, saying, "Since the other party took the initiative to find you, they must have taken a fancy to the long-term interests of the Fucheng project, and the development direction and core value system also meet their standard requirements. To hook up with them, in simple terms, it will be convenient to act in the future, and you have someone above you. To put it bluntly, you have no freedom. Once there is a financial crisis, natural disasters, and man-made disasters that need money, you will be the first to bear the brunt and need to unconditionally give up your own and the company's interests."

Zhou Sheng knew this truth very well.

But it was the first time that Zhou Sheng heard such straightforward words.

It was precisely because of this directness.

Zhou Sheng did not hide it from him, "I have decided to leave like this, and I haven't told my eldest brother clearly yet."

Chu Qinbai's expression was not surprised.

He said, "This is the difference between you and Chu Xuming. Big brother is a pure businessman. Shengyu will never be as reckless as you are. When it comes to the choice between stability and freedom, most people in the capital market will not do this."

Zhou Sheng hummed in agreement.

But he is not a capitalist.

In the current market, capital is chasing profits and the strong prey on the weak.

Zhou's transformation into a traditional manufacturing industry development direction itself does not conform to the innovative competitive market.

It is better to seek stability. Moreover

, the so-called disadvantages are taken for granted by Zhou Sheng.

It's just that his own principles will not force the entire Zhou Group, so the part that originally belonged to Zhou Group needs to be divided and cut first when necessary. These are all specific things, and they need to be explained in detail when negotiating conditions.

This simple conversation with Chu Qinbai on the road. It is the

most direct content Zhou Sheng has heard so far.

Because it is very objective.

There is no attempt to preach or suggest.

It is accurate enough and real enough.

When walking back to the lively shooting area, Zhou Sheng was already thinking about work. He was distracted so much that he didn't pay much attention to Chu Qinbai leading him through the crowd.

The people in the crew watched the scene from afar and talked about it.

Everyone knew the one walking in front. He was tall and straight, and his long legs were one-third taller than the average person. He had been a big movie star for a long time. No matter how low-key he was, he was very eye-catching in the crowd.

He walked as if no one was around, but everyone paid more attention to the person behind him.

The key point was that Chu Qinbai was holding the person's wrist.

The one who was led behind had a fair and handsome face.

He was thin and followed step by step without any resistance. He seemed too obedient.

Many people had already started screaming in their hearts.

In this scene, who could believe that the two people were just acquaintances or friends? They would only think that this was an official announcement by Movie Star Chu? Although everyone in the crew had to sign a confidentiality agreement, this was too blatant!

These people covered their mouths and their eyes were red with excitement.

But because Chu Qinbai was there, Zhou Sheng didn't hear a word of gossip. He just felt that the people behind him seemed to be discussing something wherever he walked, and it was a bit noisy.

Until he saw Yang Zhicheng and the others.

Chen Dengdeng was the first to run over and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Zhou, where have you been? I'm so worried."

Some acquaintances who had seen Zhou Sheng in Linshun County before also gathered around.

"Mr. Zhou, long time no see."

"When Brother Chu heard that you were missing, he went to look for you in person, and he found you."

Zhou Sheng was a little embarrassed.

He thought to himself that he was a grown man after all, how could he cause such a big reaction just by casually walking around.

As a result, Chu Qinbai brought him in front of him and let him go. He

put his hand directly on the back of Zhou Sheng's neck, pushed him forward, and pushed him into the encirclement, surrounded by people.

Zhou Sheng didn't even have time to protest, and was anxious to deal with these greetings.

Soon, he forgot what Chu Qinbai had just done.

Seeing Zhou Sheng talking to Yang Zhicheng.

Chen Dengdeng moved to the side of Chu Qinbai, looked at the encirclement and said, "Brother Chu, where did you find Mr. Zhou?"

Chu Qinbai also looked over there, "The street next to it."

Chen Dengdeng muttered, "Why did you go there? The scenery over there has been filmed and is waiting to be demolished."

Chu Qinbai thought, there was indeed no one over there.

No one had set foot there for a few days, so there was dust everywhere.

Otherwise, how could that person be so sad when he stood on the corner of the street, silently looking at everything.

He was like a person who walked out of that street.

After seeing all the prosperity and noise, there was only one person left there, watching everything return to its place and become silent. Only the wind blew the withered yellow leaves on the trees, and the rustling sound accompanied the falling, and a low whisper could be heard in a trance. It

seemed that he only needed to take one more step forward to step into that picture.

At that moment, he suddenly made a move.

The illusion in his perception made him, as a person who has been working for more than ten years and often needs to rely on imagination and faith to complete filming, feel unprecedentedly frightened. It

was not until he held the person in his hands that it was a little unreal.

Chen Dengdeng said: "I always feel that Mr. Zhou should not be allowed to come to the film and television city."

Others heard the assistant say this to his boss.

They might understand that they should pay attention to the impact and degree, after all, this is a crew.

But Chu Qinbai said directly: "He will be in the film and television city for two days. You are responsible for taking care of him. The car does not need to be given to the crew. Wherever he wants to go, let Xiaolin drive."

"What about you, brother Chu?" Chen Dengdeng asked in surprise.

Chu Qinbai glanced at the location where Zhou Sheng was, "I can't get lost."

Chen Dengdeng: "..."

She suspected that Brother Chu was implying Mr. Zhou.

On Zhou Sheng's side, Yang Zhicheng learned that he had just gone to the next street.

He smiled and said: "What do you think of it?"

"Very good." Zhou Sheng said.

Yang Zhicheng clapped his hands excitedly, "Yeah, I think so too. When we were shooting, I felt that it should be like this, everything was right, and I still have to thank you for this."

Zhou Sheng: "Director Yang, you have thanked me more than once."

At this point, Yang Zhicheng suddenly waved behind the crowd and shouted, "Fan Zhongqing, come here!"

Zhou Sheng slightly widened his eyes.

He watched a young man in his twenties push past the crowd and walk up.

He smiled and said, "Director, looking for me?"

Yang Zhicheng pointed at Zhou Sheng and said, "This, Mr. Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou, hello, hello, I have heard of you for a long time."

When Zhou Sheng's hand was held by someone, his eyes were still fixed on the actor.

Zhou Sheng knew his name was Qi Jun, and he had seen the real person in the photos sent by Yang Zhicheng. But compared with the vivid living person in front of him, the sense of reality was stronger, especially Qi Jun was still wearing makeup.

He had a big back hair and wore a plaid suit. He

looked a bit more like Zhongqing than Zhou Sheng saw in the photo, especially when he smiled.

Chu Qinbai came over without knowing when, and took a step back with his arm around his shoulders.

He whispered in his ear, "What are you staring at?"

"Huh?" Zhou Sheng turned around and saw that it was him. He realized that he had been staring at someone for a little too long, so he turned around and smiled at Qi Jun and said, "Hello."

Qi Jun saw Chu Qinbai and smiled and greeted him, "Brother Chu."

Chu Qinbai nodded in response.

Yang Zhicheng, who was watching from the side, shook his head and said to Qinbai, "Don't you have two more scenes tonight? Aren't you ready?"

"I've prepared."

Yang Zhicheng rolled his eyes at him, and turned around to invite Zhou Sheng, "Will you stay and watch Chu Qinbai's scene together tonight?"

"If possible, of course." Zhou Sheng readily agreed.

Zhou Sheng had not really seen the filming site.

Yang Zhicheng's crew was very expensive.

The most advanced and high-end filming equipment, the perfect crew department, and the professionalism can be seen in every link and layout.

The filming preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.

Until it got dark.

Chang Zheng lost his last bag of silver dollars in the gambling house on Taiping Street, and then he went to the most famous dance hall to find his old lover, a young woman named Du Juan.

Du Juan was disgusted with this gambler with a pretty face.

When she found out that he had no money, she asked the thugs in the dance hall to drive him out.

This year, the city was not stable.

Foreign troops were stationed, and the parties could not reach an agreement in negotiations. A curfew was imposed at night, and everyone was in panic.

Chang Zheng had a hurt face.

He squatted on the stone steps and smoked, cursing.

The shadow of being coerced by others after suddenly becoming rich had not yet dissipated. Now he returned to the living environment like an ant, but his wife had left him, his father was dead, and his son was dead, leaving him alone.

There was a half-grown beggar at the corner of the street

. He squatted in the corner and looked at Chang Zheng.

At the door of a bustling dance hall, everyone who passed by him was glamorous, but no one gave this down-and-out man a glance. Another person huddled in an empty shadow corner, with a deep dark alley behind him, chaotic and crisscrossed.

They were less than fifty meters apart, and their worlds were completely different, but they seemed to be the same.

After watching for a while, Chang Zheng seemed angry, and stood up to teach the little beggar a lesson.

But someone was one step faster than him.

A group of people in uniform rushed up with batons and started punching and kicking.

The screams and groans of pain soon subsided.

Chang Zheng met the eyes that had passed through several pairs of feet, and after a few seconds, he rushed over, picked up the man and threw him to the side.

He was like an angry lion, but he didn't know what he was resisting.

The group gave up on the beggar and turned around to beat him.

When he woke up from his coma, snow began to fall from the sky.

The last set of decent clothes on his body had been stripped away. He stood up shakily and saw another shadow lying in the shadow of the alley.

He walked over by clinging to the wall.

He hissed against the wall and said, "Get up, why are you pretending to be dead?"

Seeing that no one moved, he lowered his head and lit a cigarette for himself.

Biting the cigarette butt, he said, "What's wrong with being beaten? I've been beaten many times since I was a child. As a man, who doesn't..."

He suddenly stopped holding the cigarette butt. He

remembered that this was not a man, he was just a boy, no older than his dead son by two years.

He took off the cigarette and trembled slightly, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or something else.

Then he felt all the pockets on his body.

There was nothing.

He leaned against the wall in silence for a long time. At the door of the dance hall in the distance, a fat man was tipping a rickshaw driver.

The coins in his pocket rustled, and he accidentally took out two coins when he took them out.

Chang Zheng finally moved.

He walked out, bent down beside the gutter and picked up one of them. He walked

back, squatted in front of the little beggar, paused for two seconds, and put the coin in his stiff black and purple little hand.

Chang Zheng did not walk out of the alley again, he walked to the other end of the alley.

The snow behind him was floating all over the ground.

It didn't stop for a long time.

Yang Zhicheng called a cut and said to Zhou Sheng beside him: "This scene is the highlight. It is a watershed for the change of Chang Zheng's character. The performance is good, right?"

Yang Zhicheng said, but he didn't hide the appreciation in his eyes. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the previous scene.

Even Zhou Sheng could feel that Chu Qinbai controlled the character's emotions in that scene.

It was completely retracted, and the requirements for details and character expression were extremely high.

The staff around not far away began to busy back and forth again.

Chu Qinbai leaned on the hood of a car at the door of the dance hall.

It was a winter scene, but it was summer, so it was only hot.

He probably couldn't find a place to put his coat, so he casually draped it over his shoulders. He didn't let the staff get close to him and stayed alone.

Yang Zhicheng noticed Zhou Sheng's gaze.

He said, "He is like this. He likes to be alone after filming."

Zhou Sheng went over anyway.

As soon as he approached, Chu Qinbai noticed him.

Zhou Sheng said, "Director Yang praised you."

"Not surprising." Chu Qinbai said calmly.

Zhou Sheng followed his gaze, looked at the young actor who had been pulled up and surrounded by the staff, and asked him, "Do you feel depressed?"

"Not really." Chu Qinbai said, looking at his feet, kicking off the fake snow foam on his leather shoes, and then looking up and saying, "What is really depressing is the reflection of the subject matter. Chang Zheng is not a depressed person in character."

Zhou Sheng deeply understood this point.

The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing on the road.

In the class struggle and chaotic times, there is never a shortage of lonely ghosts.

Zhou Sheng found that he still had a cigarette between his fingertips.

It was a new one, and it was not lit.

Zhou Sheng stepped forward and took it from his hand, put it to his mouth, and then picked up the lighter on the hood of the car.

With a click, he tilted his head to light the cigarette.

Zhou Sheng was not unfamiliar with this action. Few people knew that Mr. Zhou also smoked. When dealing with all kinds of people, he could even do this action very well.

The smoke scattered in the dark night, shrouding his expression.

Zhou Sheng extinguished the lighter.

As he exhaled, he said, "No matter how difficult the situation is, it is over."

The next second, he was pulled in front of Chu Qinbai.

Standing between his legs.

"You want it?" Zhou Sheng passed the cigarette to his lips with empty eyes, and commented, "This cigarette tastes average, and I have smoked it before."

Chu Qinbai stared at him and raised his hand to take it away from him. He

held it to his lips and took a deep breath, and the smoke did not pass through his lungs. His movements were more casual and unrestrained than Zhou Sheng's.

Then he threw it at his feet and slowly crushed it out.

"Don't smoke in the future." He said.

When Zhou Sheng just watched him filming, he almost never put down the cigarette because of the character's needs.

He remembered that he was in Yang Zhicheng's room last time.

Asked him: "Do you really dislike the smell?"

Chu Qinbai looked at him and said, "I just don't like the way you smoke."

That familiarity is not because of many times, but because of practice.

Since there is no addiction, there is no need to touch it again.

Zhou Sheng said contemptuously: "You are so nosy."

Chu Qinbai raised his eyes, "You really think I can't control you, right?"

☆ 39. Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Lu Ming slept in the hotel until late afternoon. He originally planned to go back to Lancheng in the evening, but when he learned that Chu Xuming was coming, he stayed here for another day. He got up and sent a message but received no reply. At eight o'clock, he learned from Chen Dengdeng that Chu Qinbai had another night scene tonight. President Lu waved his hand and treated the whole crew to midnight snacks.

Seven or eight hotel delivery staff followed him to the filming location.

The lights were bright from afar.

Chen Dengdeng ran out to meet them.

"Is your brother Chu still busy?" Lu Ming was wearing the hotel's plastic sandals. He was too lazy to change his clothes. He put on a short-sleeved shirt and summer beach shorts, like an aboriginal going out to cool off at night.

Chen Dengdeng said, "No, it's halftime."

Then she reminded him in a low voice, "Boss Lu, there are mosquitoes here at night. You can't stay here dressed like this."

"It's no big deal." Lu Ming didn't care, and then asked, "Where's Lao Bai's brother? Is he in front?"

Chen Dengdeng thought that Boss Lu was always a step behind in terms of being well-informed.

I don't know how he became the president of a leading company in the entertainment industry.

She reminded the staff behind her to be careful of the items placed on the ground, and said, "Boss Chu didn't come. He said he had something urgent to do. We only picked up Mr. Zhou at the airport this afternoon."

"Zhou Sheng?" Lu Ming frowned.

Then he pointed at the people around him and said, "How dare you bring people into the crew like this? Chu Qinbai is crazy." Without waiting for Chen Dengdeng to speak, he immediately said, "Zhou Sheng came to the crew by himself. You didn't stop him, right?"

Chen Dengdeng sighed.

Turning back, he looked at the other person helplessly.

"Mr. Lu, I really think you have a deep misunderstanding of Mr. Zhou."

Lu Ming: "I misunderstood him? What did I misunderstand about him? Did I misunderstand him for making a scene on the set?"

Lu Ming soon saw the truth.

The first person he saw was Chu Qinbai. He

was leaning against the front of the car. Under the light from the entrance of the dance hall, he looked like a guy who had just come out of the dance hall.

The focus was on the person standing in front of him.

The person had his back to this side, and was very close to Chu Qinbai. It was unclear what the two were talking about.

They were like they were alone, as if the busy people around them were just decorations. They were in their own space, which was particularly suitable for this Republic of China scene.

Lu Ming initially thought that they were still filming.

It was about a rich young man who was hanging out in a dance hall at night, and met a nobleman from the Republic of China on the way, and acted like a hooligan on the street.

Until the person with his back to this side turned his head slightly, allowing Lu Ming to see his profile clearly.

The moment he saw it clearly, he was stunned for four or five seconds, and slowly cursed: "Damn it."

Why did these two people get so close for no reason?

The more outrageous thing is still to come.

Zhou Sheng, who was originally thought to be looking for trouble, suddenly reached out and touched Chu Qinbai's hair twice and rubbed it.

Chu Qinbai not only did not resist, but also seemed to laugh. Lu Ming

's three views exploded on the spot.

He asked in a daze: "Zhou Sheng touched the head of the surname Chu, right?"

Chen Dengdeng also saw it.

He said indifferently: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?!" Lu Ming realized that his voice was a bit loud after he said it, and suppressed his voice again, "Can a man's head be touched casually? And that's Chu Qinbai, have you ever seen Chu Qinbai let him touch him casually? It's not filming!"

Chen Dengdeng was speechless: "But they are married."

They are in a relationship where they can sleep together legally, so what's wrong with touching hair twice?

Lu Ming: "..."

He felt the feeling of being suffocated to death by a mouthful of blood.

The staff behind him had been waiting quietly. Because the waiting time was a bit long, they couldn't help but whispered: "Boss, how should these foods be placed?"

Chen Dengdeng was too lazy to talk to Lu Ming.

He said directly: "Come with me."

In fact, Lu Ming really misunderstood.

Zhou Sheng was not really touching Chu Qinbai's head.

The hairstylist of the crew just took a break and probably wanted to style Chu Qinbai.

He hesitated for a long time and didn't come over, probably thinking that they were talking about business. Finally, he hurried over and stuffed a bottle of styling spray into Zhou Sheng's hand. He didn't even give Zhou Sheng a chance to speak, and quickly said: "Mr. Zhou, please help with it. It doesn't have to be complicated. Just grab the hair in front a little bit."

Then he ran away.

Zhou Sheng held the bottle and was silent for a long time.

"I'll call him back." Zhou Sheng turned to leave.

Chu Qinbai grabbed him and said casually: "You do it. I'm not boasting about my good disguise skills. It's just grabbing hair. Do it casually."

Zhou Sheng looked around and saw that the stylist was already busy with other actors.

He had no choice but to take the things and force the duck to the shelf.

"Your hair is quite hard." Zhou Sheng twisted the two strands of hair on his forehead and said with his fingertips.

The role of Chang Zheng requires that the hair cannot be cut short in the later stage, and it feels more prickly to the touch than it looks.

Chu Qinbai glanced at the top of his head and said, "Yes, it's harder than your hair." Zhou

Sheng remembered the hair he had when he just woke up in the hospital.

It was

too terrible to describe. But his hair was not bad, thick and black and not dry. Now he would trim it regularly, but he didn't pay special attention to the hardness of the hair.

Zhou Sheng sprayed the spray on his head twice.

He casually combed it for him.

Chu Qinbai cooperated and lowered his head slightly. When Zhou Sheng's fingertips passed through the ends of his hair, he said, "This action reminds me of Zhou Taotao."

"Zhou Taotao?"

"Yes, it's a dog that I had at home when I was a child. I often combed its hair."

Chu Qinbai stood up and pulled the corner of his mouth.

"Do you need to call me a dog if you don't want to help?"

Zhou Sheng seriously denied, "No, Taotao is very obedient."

Chu Qinbai didn't look comforted at all.

Zhou Sheng laughed, "Just kidding. Taotao is a Pomeranian, and you are not as cute as it." Zhou Sheng continued to brush his hair, "Besides, it's a girl, and it has nothing to do with you."

The Pomeranian was given to his mother by a German lady.

He was raised at home until he was three years old.

The year his father died, the Zhou family was in chaos.

To avoid disaster, his mother sent him on a ship to a foreign country overnight. The Pomeranian was given to a cousin's little daughter who was just under four years old. The Zhou family went south with the rest of the family on another ship, and the Zhou family was separated from each other.

In the picture, his mother was standing at the dock in a cheongsam to see him off.

Zhou Sheng did not dare to recall that scene for many years.

He once said that his uncle was not the only one who was separated in the turbulent times.

His mother died half a year before he returned to China. In the last letter, she told him that his cousin's little daughter was lost.

Not gone, not sick, just lost.

After Zhou Sheng took over the Zhou family, he and Shunzi went to the countryside, where there was only a small dog grave.

The old servant burst into tears and said, "The little lady loved this dog the most. When the ship temporarily docked, I don't know whether she ran away by herself or was taken away by someone."

Her cousin's husband's family suffered a disaster, and she was mentally ill for a while.

Zhou Sheng took the person back to the Zhou family to take care of him for a while.

But the little girl was never found again.

Zhou Sheng remembered the girl standing at the bow with two little balls tied on her head.

She held the snow-white Taotao in her arms, not knowing what kind of long and bloody storm this troubled world would usher in. In her world, she could only see the palm-sized place. With her family around her, she held the small windmill and chased and played with her beloved puppy on the deck.

The laughter was so crisp that it seemed like the most moving sound in the world.

He once tried to convince his cousin that in this world, no news is good news.

But he has not raised any living creatures since then.

Once a person has feelings and ties, he will not be able to give them up at will.

Not to mention a living person.

Just like in such a scene, suddenly thinking of this passage is enough to make him lose his mind.

Chu Qinbai took the bottle from his hand.

He tapped him on the head and stared at him with a frown: "Do it well."

"It's pretty good."

Zhou Sheng took a step back and looked at him.

"Brother Chu is so handsome."

Chu Qinbai glanced at him, "You're not really praising him."

At this time, the other side outside began to get lively.

It was Chen Dengdeng who was inviting others to have supper.

Lu Ming watched many people greet the car.

"Boss Zhou, Brother Chu, stop talking!"

"Boss Zhou, come for supper! Boss Lu treats you!"

They were more active than greeting Chu Qinbai.

When did this guy become so popular?

Zhou Sheng went to the crowd, while Lu Ming walked to Chu Qinbai's side, looked at Zhou Sheng's back, and nudged Chu Qinbai's arm: "I'm kind enough to treat you to supper. Is that enough for you to tell me what's going on between you two?"

"What do you want to know?" Chu Qinbai glanced at him.

Lu Ming and him leaned against the front of the car side by side.

He raised his chin towards that side: "To be honest, I really didn't take your assistant's words seriously at first. She said that I misunderstood Zhou Sheng. I don't know whether it was a misunderstanding or not, but I have known you for a long time. Lao Bai, you are obviously abnormal."

"You came here specially just to study me?"

"Who wants to study you."

Lu Ming complained: "Are you really going to make the fake play real? I am sure that you will get divorced sooner or later."

Chu Qinbai pulled the clothes on his shoulders casually, as if to show his cards, but also to explain, "Didn't you ask about Ren Qixuan's replacement in Linshun County before? In addition to the role reason, it was because of him."

Lu Ming opened his mouth slightly.

This question that he had been puzzled about, got the answer from Chu Qinbai.

Shocked: "Is the person rumored on the Internet really Zhou Sheng?"

"Yeah."

Lu Ming said after a while: "... I think you are really crazy. When Fan Xuan took people to Donghu, you forgot what your attitude was? Sichuan Opera face-changing doesn't even have you like this, what makes you say such perverted and unreasonable words?"

Chu Qinbai stood up from the front of the car.

Patted Lu Ming.

Left.

Lu Ming was left in the wind, his face disheveled.

Apart from a few words of thanks for the food sent by the dignified Mr. Lu, he did not eat it. In the past ten minutes, he was bitten by the vicious mosquitoes in this film and television city, and his body was full of lumps.

It tickled him so much that he felt uncomfortable.

He asked Chen Dengdeng for mosquito repellent.

Chen Dengdeng was busy gnawing on chicken feet and said, "It's at Brother Chu's place."

Lu Ming turned to look for Chu Qinbai.

After searching for a long time, he saw the director, producer and others gathered around a simple table, eating and commenting that the midnight snack in this restaurant tasted good.

Lu Ming thought to himself that this was nonsense, he ordered the most expensive one.

And Chu Qinbai was right next to him.

He bent down and lifted the face of the person sitting on the low stool, holding the mosquito repellent spray in his other hand and shaking it a few times. He covered

his eyebrows with his hand, revealing the person sitting there, with a sesame-sized red pimple on his smooth forehead.

Zhou Sheng wanted to hide, "It's all gone, stop spraying."

Chu Qinbai controlled him and frowned, "Don't move, do you want to blind your eyes?"

The people around were busy eating, and no one even looked at them.

Lu Ming had a lot of bruises on his legs.

Look at Zhou Sheng again.

Under the dim light of the crew, this person was forced to look up.

Frowning, as if there was no way to retreat.

Sure enough, Lu Ming thought.

I actually think this is so good-looking, this Zhou Sheng must have turned into a demon!

☆ 40. Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Zhou Sheng did not stay in the film and television city for too long, because he had to return the next day for work.

Xiao Lin said early in the morning that he would be responsible for driving for the last half day, and he could go wherever he wanted. Zhou Sheng planned to visit the studio yesterday. Thinking back, he felt a little regretful that he did not go in.

As a result, Chen Dengdeng hesitated when he heard it, and finally called Chu Qinbai.

Chu Qinbai said directly: "No."

Zhou Sheng thought that the crew was short of cars, "I can find a car myself."

Chen Dengdeng looked at him apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, Brother Chu said that the street is closed and will be demolished today. It will be the same when you watch it in the movie. Let's take you to other places, which is also quite interesting." Zhou

Sheng didn't know why the demolition was so urgent, after all, it was said yesterday that it would take a few days.

But this is his job, and the screen presentation is indeed not bad.

He didn't go.

Finally, Xiao Lin drove and took him to visit the scenic spots in the film studio.

The imitation scenery was indeed well done.

In the morning when the sun was not very hot, Chen Dengdeng strongly recommended him to go to the palace.

The imperial palace, the dragon eaves and phoenix towers, the garden lake, and the palace square.

When Zhou Sheng was on the top of the city wall, Chen Dengdeng secretly took a photo of him.

She immediately sent it to the group of core members of the studio.

The person in the photo was standing against the wall. Perhaps he noticed the camera and turned his head slightly. The orange-red sun in the distance showed half of its face.

Under his feet was the majestic palace city, a miniature of the ancient and modern landscape.

The photo caused a heated response.

"Fuck, Mr. Zhou is so handsome."

"Dengdeng, where did you take this photo? It would be a pity if you don't become a photographer with this skill."

There are only eight people in this group.

Usually, Sister Fan and Brother Chu never speak.

Chen Dengdeng had the audacity to ask in this group since she first knew that Brother Chu was married. In addition, she was an assistant, so she developed the habit of sharing the first-hand information around Chu Qinbai at any time.

They were all insiders, so there was nothing to worry about.

But when Zhou Sheng came to the studio this time, the people in the studio really didn't know.

Not even Sister Fan knew.

Fan Xuan sent a message for the first time. "It's obviously a movie studio. I don't even bother to ask why Zhou Sheng is here. Chen Dengdeng, where is Chu Qinbai?"

Chen Dengdeng quickly explained: "Sister Fan, Brother Chu is filming. I know there are reporters squatting at the movie studio. They won't let them go out together in broad daylight. Mr. Zhou is passing by to visit the studio and will leave today. I'll take him around."

Zhou Sheng's name was once a name that the studio strictly guarded.

But recently, he has appeared more and more frequently.

Everyone's impression of him has changed again and again.

Now someone is directly joking, saying: "Sister Fan, why don't you consider signing the person? With Mr. Zhou's appearance, he will definitely become popular."

Fan Xuan: "Ask your brother Chu, do you think he is willing to let him go?"

As soon as this was said, it was rejected.

Although they have visited the studio, they still don't know the specific situation of these two people. Who dares to ask Brother Chu?

But Sister Fan's attitude makes people feel funny.

The scene when she got angry in the group because of Brother Chu's marriage is still vivid. If she knew Zhou Sheng was in the film and television city, she would have flown over to deal with it in person. But now she didn't react at all.

Signing Zhou Sheng was obviously a joke.

Chen Dengdeng left after explaining. She was afraid of being troubled by Sister Fan.

As a result, before she turned off her phone, she received a message from Chu Qinbai alone.

"What time is the flight?" he asked.

Chen Dengdeng replied: "One in the afternoon."

"Ask Xiaolin to pick me up."

Chen Dengdeng didn't ask why, and said directly: "Okay, I promise not to delay."

The filming started very early, and Chu Qinbai sat on a lounge chair. He

opened the group message again and clicked on the picture.

He looked at it for two seconds and then clicked save.

Zhou Sheng didn't know that he and Lu Ming had booked the same flight until almost ten o'clock. Chu Qinbai happened to have time at noon, so they happened to appear at the airport together. It was

still early for takeoff.

At eleven thirty, they had lunch in a restaurant at the airport.

Three men, the atmosphere was quite weird.

Of course, this was just Lu Ming's opinion.

He was not naive to think that Chu Qinbai came all the way to see him off.

Looking at the other two people, their faces were normal.

But he felt it was weird no matter how he looked at it.

Especially Chu Qinbai ordered a table of Suzhou dishes for no reason. Lu Ming picked up an eggplant with chopsticks that was almost in its original color and asked him: "When did you change to this light and sweet taste?"

Zhou Sheng also noticed the problem with the cuisine and glanced at Chu Qinbai next to him.

Replied to Lu Ming: "It should be to take care of me."

Probably because he remembered that when he was in Lancheng, he preferred the Suzhou dishes made by Zhang Sao.

Lu Ming had a complicated face.

Muttered: "We are also visiting the set, but I didn't see you take care of me."

Chu Qinbai glanced at Lu Ming, "You should eat lighter. If you often hang out at the table, you will have three highs in two years."

Lu Ming kicked him under the table: "Can you say I ordered well?"

Lu Ming felt that he kicked someone, but Chu Qinbai didn't react at all.

Looking down, Zhou Sheng's trouser legs were stained with dust.

Before he could even say his apology, Chu Qinbai frowned coldly: "If you can't sit still, go out and run around the airport. Maybe tomorrow's front page headline will be your name, Mr. Lu, and your traffic will exceed that of your company's artists and they will debut directly."

Lu Ming was so embarrassed.

It was normal to be insulted by Chu Qinbai, but who made Zhou Sheng next to him?

They met last night.

Lu Ming has not talked to Zhou Sheng alone.

Look at him, he was kicked but he was indifferent. He

even waved to call the waiter.

He added a few other dishes.

That kind of thoughtfulness and courtesy made Lu Ming feel like a lunatic in comparison.

If he was really pretending, he couldn't fool Chu Qinbai.

If he wasn't pretending, then there was something.

Either the Zhou Sheng they knew before was deliberately pretending to be a naughty and ignorant rich second generation. Or he really changed his mind and became a new person.

But the contrast of this change of heart was like a completely different person.

To be reborn must be for something.

But I don't know what he is doing for?

Lu Ming wanted to see what he was up to.

He coughed and said, "Zhou Sheng, I heard that you have taken over Zhou Enterprises now, so you should be very busy. Why do you still think of visiting Brother Chu at this time?"

Zhou Sheng looked at Lu Ming.

It was a little funny. "I came here on a business trip at the invitation of Director Yang. Besides, my brother was worried about him, so I came to see him."

Lu Ming turned to Chu Qinbai and said meaningfully: "Brother Chu, what did you do as a grown man to make people so worried?"

"It can be said that it is because of President Lu." Zhou Sheng continued, "I heard about the changes in Shengkai, and there was a lot of condemnation on the Internet. As a brother, it is inevitable that he is worried under the pressure of public opinion."

Lu Ming was choked.

Zhou Sheng did not mention himself from beginning to end, but brought up Chu Xuming.

When it comes to this, Lu Ming was too lazy to care what Zhou Sheng was thinking.

Instead, he became more serious and said: "Then I have to trouble you to tell my brother when you go back. Even if Shengkai and Brother Chu have split, the relationship is still there. Don't say that I don't have the courage to cheat Brother Chu, I, Lu Ming, can't do that kind of thing."

As he said this, he thought of the relationship between Zhou Sheng and Chu Qinbai.

Then he said, "Also, I have to explain what happened to Ren Qixuan before."

Zhou Sheng saw him looking at him: "Explain to me?"

"What else?" Lu Ming looked at him with a "what are you pretending to be" expression, and said, "Don't tell me you don't care."

Zhou Sheng thought, what kind of problem is this?

He and Ren Qixuan only met briefly in Linshun County.

He suddenly came forward to ask, suspecting that he had interfered and replaced him. Zhou Sheng had not paid much attention to the subsequent things and didn't know how to deal with it.

But Ren Qixuan was a person in Lu Ming's company.

As a boss, it was understandable for him to protect his own artists.

Zhou Sheng didn't interrupt him.

As a result, Lu Ming said: "It is a normal development routine in this circle for seniors with qualifications to lead newcomers, and it is also the fastest one. I admit that I did have my mind at the time and was eager to promote an influential newcomer, but I swear to God, I never thought of sending anyone to his bed."

Zhou Sheng was choked by a piece of dried chili. He

started coughing immediately.

His face and neck quickly turned red.

Even Lu Ming was startled.

Before he could move, a cup of tea was handed to Zhou Sheng.

Chu Qinbai saw him drink it, and then he said, "If you can't eat spicy food, don't eat it. You, on the other hand, pick up the chili peppers and swallow them into your stomach." What

Zhou Sheng ate happened to be a spicy dish that he asked the waiter to add later.

He listened to Lu Ming talking and picked it up without paying attention.

He thought Lu Ming was looking for trouble, but he said something completely different.

Seeing his face gradually returning to normal, Lu Ming said, "You can't touch any chili peppers at all?"

"No." Zhou Sheng put down the cup and said, "It's mainly because Mr. Lu's words were too direct, which was a bit unexpected."

Lu Ming thought about what he had just said.

After two seconds, he sneered maliciously, "You said you sent someone to Chu Qinbai's bed? No, Zhou Sheng, what's wrong with you? You can't stand such words. It's not like you?"

Chu Qinbai poured another cup into Zhou Sheng's cup.

He put down the teapot and turned to Lu Ming.

He gave a warning look.

Lu Ming didn't pay attention to Chu Qinbai's threat.

He turned to Zhou Sheng, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I'll tell you a secret."

"What?" Zhou Sheng looked up.

Chu Qinbai pulled a piece of paper for Zhou Sheng: "Don't listen to his nonsense."

Lu Ming was unhappy, "Why am I the one talking nonsense?" After that, he immediately said to Zhou Sheng: "Someone climbed into his bed when he was seventeen!" Zhou

Sheng took the paper and was shocked. He turned to ask Chu Qinbai: "Really?"

"How can this be false?" Lu Ming really broke the news at this time, and said directly: "At that time, his

first movie had just been released and became a hit. Qu Ruyi, Chen Musong and others and I celebrated for him together. There were dozens of people at the time. At two o'clock in the middle of the night, an investor took his door card, found reporters to wait specifically, and stuffed an eighteen-year-old boy into him. At that time, they wanted to hype it up, but he woke up in the middle of the night, kicked the man off the bed and broke two of his ribs! You will have nightmares if you hear that scream."

Chu Qinbai seemed to have given up on asking Lu Ming to shut up.

He had to control his diet on the set, so he hadn't eaten much.

Now he just took a cup and leaned on the stool casually.

Zhou Sheng heard what Lu Ming said.

He frowned deeply: "I remember that the juvenile law protects all people under the age of eighteen."

Chu Qinbai, who was only seventeen years old, had also experienced this kind of thing.

But Lu Ming seemed to think it was normal.

He said: "In the entertainment industry, there are many teenagers who are more mature than adults. We suffered such losses at that time, but it was nothing more than that we were too inexperienced. If you search for nightclub Rashomon on the Internet, you will find that many people are still complaining about this matter."

Lu Ming said here, and then he realized that he had gone too far.

He took it back and said: "That's not what I want to say. Power-for-sex transactions are very common in this circle. Ask Chu Qinbai how many people he has been forced to do over the years. I'm afraid he can't remember it himself."

Zhou Sheng seemed very calm again at this moment.

Lu Ming was confused. Just now, he

was choked and blushed when he heard the sentence of sending someone to bed.

Now this reaction is not right.

Facts have proved that Zhou Sheng really knows everything.

He even said to Lu Ming: "Entertainment culture itself has a high level of attention, and the possibility of being popularized and well-known is greater. Gray areas will always exist. What kind of world you choose to stand in will determine what kind of living environment you will face."

Lu Ming felt that he was being educated.

There was no way to refute it, and he even agreed with it.

But this was not the result he thought.

He was obviously talking about Chu Qinbai's matter, and he thought Zhou Sheng should be concerned enough to go crazy. Even if he didn't ask Chu Qinbai for an explanation on the spot, he should have had some other reactions.

But there was none, and there was no trace of acting.

Lu Ming even asked directly because of his overly ordinary tone: "From this unsurprising tone, someone got into Mr. Zhou's bed?"

After Lu Ming finished speaking, he felt that what he said made sense.

Looking at Zhou Sheng now, let's not talk about his appearance.

Zhou's acting president, that demeanor, that cultivation.

Isn't it normal for someone to climb into bed?

Lu Ming started by testing Zhou Sheng, and then turned around and felt that Chu Ge was too disadvantaged.

He was away for a few months filming.

The one at home went on a business trip and came to visit the class.

The rest of the day, he went to work early and came back late, attended various business receptions, and flew on business trips. Does the company need beautiful women and handsome men? Can the partners not find someone to receive them specially?

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this direction was correct.

Zhou Sheng didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to him, and he didn't know why Lu Ming's eyes were getting weirder and weirder.

He just said, "That's not the case."

"Really?" Lu Ming was full of disbelief.

Zhou Sheng nodded, "The doctor said I'm not in good health, so I should abstain from sex."

Lu Ming had a look of being struck by lightning, and almost shrank from the stool where he was sitting on

the side. After Zhou Sheng finished speaking, he did not notice Chu Qinbai who had not moved for a long time, and slowly put the cup back on the table.

Zhou Sheng never avoided seeing a doctor.

He had also read several medical books in his spare time.

Although he had not read them thoroughly, he knew the importance of following the doctor's advice.

Before boarding the plane.

Zhou Sheng thought of what Lu Ming said at the dinner table just now, saying that many people climbed into Chu Qinbai's bed.

After thinking about it, he still reminded him: "Only by not having sex indiscriminately can you infuse your spirit into your body. I see that you often shoot all night long, and no matter how much mental pressure you have, your desires are hard to satisfy. Big brother is very worried about you, so you still need to be restrained in terms of your health."

Zhou Sheng visited the set this time.

He believed that he had done what he should do.

Although Chu Qinbai's face turned black instantly because of this, he asked doubtfully: "What did you say?"

Zhou Sheng reminded him again.

He left first.

Lu Ming behind him was numb.

Huanhuan: "He misunderstood it."

Chu Qinbai glanced at him, "He is not one of those artists under you, don't test him casually."

Lu Ming's face turned serious.

"Did you see it?" He said: "Brother Chu, to be honest, have you never doubted it? This difference is really not a little bit."

Chu Qinbai looked at the entrance, and when he saw someone go in, he retracted his gaze.

Lu Ming shrugged: "Okay, your own business."

Then he looked at Chu Qinbai with a complicated look.

"Although I don't have much contact with him, but Zhou Sheng... Even if you look at the entire circle, is there such a person? I sincerely advise you to take a closer look and don't fall into it."

Lu Ming rushed away after saying that.

Just now people misunderstood that Brother Chu was messing around. If he

didn't leave, Chu Qinbai couldn't catch Zhou Sheng's people, and he was afraid that he would remember it again and turn around to tear him apart. Chu Qinbai

was photographed by passers-by when he appeared at the airport that day.

Some people saw that he and Lu Ming had a very ugly atmosphere.

Front page headline: The former brothers finally turned against each other, Ji Yuyan and Yuyan were angry on the spot, proving that the actor's private life was chaotic!

☆ 41. Chapter 39

Chapter 39

The news about Chu Qinbai leaving Shengkai on the Internet is getting more and more intense, and the reasons behind it are speculated in all kinds of ways. Someone saw him and the boss of Shengkai in the airport, and like every time bad news comes out, his dark history is brought up again.

There are many things that are based on hearsay.

Fake things will be spread as true.

Fan Xuan answered Chu Qinbai's call.

For a moment, she suspected that she had heard it wrong, and asked: "Who did you say to check?"

"Zhou Sheng."

The Cinema Hotel at night can overlook the entire film and television base.

Chu Qinbai changed his clothes and leaned against the glass window. His eyes went far away, and no one knew where he fell, making his eyes look deep and difficult to discern at night.

Fan Xuan couldn't see it at all.

Speechless: "This wave of information is so dark that I even suspect that Lu Ming pretended to go to the film and television city to find you and fan the flames behind the scenes. It is said on the Internet that you have become enemies. I am worried that you were stabbed in the back by your brother, but you are fine. Why are you investigating Zhou Sheng for no reason?"

Chu Qinbai said calmly.

"It's not Lu Ming."

"Are you sure?" "

It's unnecessary to do something that harms others and does not benefit yourself." Chu Qinbai left the window and walked back to the room, saying: "In the past two years, Shengkai has been eager to transform. His methods are radical. Not only on my side, but also with Qu Ruyi and others. The fact that he came to the film city to find me this time proves that he has not really lost his mind and will not do such a thing."

"Then it must be someone else."

Fan Xuan also knew that what he said made sense.

Although Chu Qinbai's studio was not deeply involved with Shengkai, Fan Xuan and Lu Ming had worked together before.

She knew Lu Ming as a person.

Most of the time, he seemed unreliable, but he was able to run Shengkai. Even though Chu Qinbai's importance in it was unquestionable, he was really not a stupid person.

Lu Ming, Chu Qinbai, Chen Musong and others have known each other for longer than she, the agent.

The friendship is certainly not adulterated, but with interests in the forefront, precautions cannot be ignored.

Fan Xuan asked him: "That's not right, why did you suddenly check Zhou Sheng? It's not Lu Ming, do you still suspect that he is setting you up?"

"It has nothing to do with this."

Chu Qinbai opened the closet and took out the clothes to wear for the shower.

He casually flipped through all the clothes hanging on the rack and slowly paused on one of the shirts.

It was the one that Zhou Sheng had temporarily lent to him to wear in Linshun County before, and he washed it and returned it to her when he left.

After Zhou Sheng came out of the hospital, many people said that he had changed a lot.

A person with good upbringing and outstanding abilities in all aspects is much easier to accept than a person who is unbearable. People who have come into contact with him will easily be attracted by that trait, chasing him with their eyes, and can't help but get close to him and believe in him.

No one explored the cause and effect behind this.

He also never cared.

In the past, Zhou Sheng was an insignificant accessory. His various behaviors made him not intend to have more than a little involvement with him, except for the money he remitted to the hospital on time every month.

After being discharged from the hospital, Zhou Sheng, who lived in Donghu, was like a silent rain, and his presence was negligible.

He finally tolerated the fact that he stayed.

But every time they met in Donghu, the impression deepened.

He had a nightmare and went downstairs to drink water in the middle of the night.

Every time he sat on the sofa and counted the pills one by one.

He went to Xiyuan and lowered his head to paint.

Every frame became extremely clear.

At this time, he still didn't want to explore.

Because he had amnesia, this was simply a universal excuse.

The trip to Linshun County had reached the level of suspicion that he could not ignore.

Until this time.

He even stopped him from going there again because of his visit to the set, a back that seemed to never turn around, and even asked someone to change the demolition and construction date to that day.

This was already emotions controlling behavior, even beyond common sense.

He saw himself more clearly.

At the same time, all the suspicions that had been ignored and indulged before surfaced.

This Zhou Sheng is not the same person as the Zhou Sheng in the past.

Lu Ming is the only one who has seen Zhou Sheng in the past.

But he has no contact with him now.

Under that comparison, his suspicion will be more direct and more serious than that of ordinary people.

But Zhou Sheng still doesn't want to hide anything.

This is the extremely contradictory part of him.

The guess is too absurd, but Chu Qinbai believes in intuition more.

Fan Xuan asked him again: "Then what exactly do you want to check?"

"I remember that since Zhou Sheng was hospitalized, you have been communicating with the hospital." Chu Qinbai took his hand away from his clothes, "Find a way to get his past, I mean his DNA from a year ago, and compare it with his current one."

Fan Xuan was stunned.

"You suspect that Zhou Sheng is not Zhou Qicong's son? No, isn't your idea too unfounded? If you find out that they are not father and son, you can tear up the agreement and divorce him?"

Chu Qinbai ignored Fan Xuan's shock.

He just said: "Also check his mother who has lived abroad for many years."

Fan Xuan didn't know what to say anymore, and murmured: "What happened in the studio? Even his mother who hasn't been in contact for many years is being checked?"

Chu Qinbai: "We are not checking his mother, but mainly checking whether his mother gave birth to another child... For example, twins or something like that." He

speaks fluent English.

It is very likely that he has lived abroad.

His excuse of attending an international school when he was a child is obviously not rigorous.

Chu Qinbai finished his explanation and finally said: "Just check it secretly, don't let anyone know."

Fan Xuan was already sure that he wanted to divorce Zhou Sheng.

Otherwise, why would he check Zhou Sheng's background for no reason?

Fan Xuan thought about it and started to take it seriously.

She said, "I asked you to get a divorce before, but you said you couldn't. No one is happy with this marriage. Your grandmother, your elder brother, your family, and even friends or work partners like us. But now the situation is different. Last time I asked people from the studio to send gifts to your grandmother, she also asked about you and Zhou Sheng's situation. You are doing this now..."

"No, I won't get a divorce." Chu Qinbai suddenly interrupted Fan Xuan.

Fan Xuan was confused again.

"Then you..."

"Just check it out, no need to ask."

Fan Xuan didn't ask.

She guessed that something might have gone wrong with the Zhou family.

It was not easy for Zhou Sheng to take over Zhou's.

Although he was Zhou Qicong's eldest son, he had a difficult stepmother and a half-brother.

It was possible that the mother and son had some evidence against him.

Fan Xuan's thoughts diverged again and again, and she suddenly felt that there was no time to lose.

But the matter at hand was obviously more important.

"Since this online incident has nothing to do with Lu Ming, I plan to discuss with him to issue a joint statement. Do you think it's feasible?"

Chu Qinbai talked about work, pressed the hands-free button on his phone, and threw the phone on the bed. He

took off his clothes with one hand, "Well, remind the people in the studio not to spread things about Zhou Sheng in the group casually in the future, and don't let the news leak to Shengkai."

Fan Xuan: "Are you still on guard against Lu Ming?"

Chu Qinbai: "Not on guard against anything else, he's too talkative, he's dead."

He walked towards the bathroom half naked and barefoot.

Zhou Sheng didn't know that Chu Qinbai was already investigating him.

If he really knew, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong. After

all, what can be found out?

If it's an imposter, the result will be known as soon as it is investigated.

Reincarnation? In an era that believes in science supremacy, Chu Qinbai is a person with avant-garde thinking and who has received a high level of modern education. Zhou Sheng suspected that even if he told him the truth, he would think he was making up a lie.

When Zhou Sheng returned to Lancheng and contacted Liu Shengshi again,

he had already informed Chu Xuming of the work direction.

Chu Xuming said directly: "Actually, I had a hunch that you would do this. I once talked to Qinbai, and he and I both agreed that this is a good opportunity for Zhou's company. The pros and cons are 30:70, 70:30."

"You are still talking about this?" Zhou Sheng laughed.

Chu Xuming: "He is not only good at filming, otherwise where do you think he got so much money from?"

"I don't know how much money he has."

Chu Xuming immediately laughed: "Go to him, his money is your money. If you don't have money, go to him, he is richer than me."

Zhou Sheng shook his head and didn't respond to such boring talk.

This is a golf course in Lancheng.

In the early 1930s, golf, which originated in Scotland, was introduced into China.

At that time, it was still called "wild ball" in order to promote international friendship and be used in diplomatic activities.

Zhou Sheng is not very good at sports.

But nowadays, whether it is business or leisure, people

like to play a few rounds.

Zhou Sheng now attends more places. He follows the trend and is instigated by Chu Xuming to become a senior member of this high-end golf course for a whole year.

But Zhou Sheng also met a lot of people for this.

For example, Mr. Ma, a building materials merchant, Hu Tianming, a real estate developer, and Jin Quansong, an investment tycoon.

Lancheng has upper-class peer circles such as Qu Ruyi and Chen Musong.

Naturally, there are also business circles.

It is difficult to truly integrate into a circle, but it is also simple to say it is simple.

The effect of the cooperation between Zhou and Shengyu is already significant, and many people are jealous of the fact that the development of Fucheng is on the right track. Zhou Sheng took over Zhou, and now there is Liu Shengshi, so it is a natural thing for him to contact these people.

He and Chu Xuming sat here for only a while.

Someone left the golf course and came over, saying, "Boss Chu, you can't handle your own brother, where did you find a helper like Boss Zhou? If you don't play golf here, what tea are you drinking?"

Zhou Sheng laughed, "Boss Ma, are you talking about me?"

The other person sat down casually, poured himself a cup, and said carelessly, "How could it be possible? I'm talking about Chu Xuming. You didn't introduce a capable person like you early, and he didn't even touch the club when he came here."

Zhou Sheng glanced outside and said, "It's too hot today, and I'm not good at this. Boss Chu just accompanies me."

Zhou Sheng sat down next to the golf course.

It's really more like coming here to cultivate one's character.

He doesn't like to talk with others. If he doesn't know, he just says he doesn't know. He doesn't feel uncomfortable being alone.

Among this group of people, the one he can talk to the most is Jin Quansong.

Jin Quansong is the oldest among these people, two years older than Chu Xuming.

But you can't tell from his face.

This golf course has his investment, and he also has countless horse farms, extreme clubs and other sports investment venues. At the same time, he only talked to Zhou Sheng about his hobbies such as tea tasting, chess playing, and antique research.

Many people disliked their mutual understanding.

They said that they would do things that only old cadres would do when they got together.

Zhou Sheng didn't know what old cadres' hobbies were at first.

Later, when he learned about it, he just laughed it off.

Chu Xuming was pulled off the court.

Zhou Sheng and Jin Quansong sat side by side.

"Why don't you try it, Mr. Jin?" Zhou Sheng said.

Jin Quansong glanced at him and smiled, "Don't think that they are shouting for the next game when they have nothing to do. In fact, they are just show-offs. They drank too much and are very weak."

Zhou Sheng laughed on the side.

Jin Quansong suddenly asked, "I heard that your brother was sentenced?"

"Three months." Zhou Sheng was not surprised that others had found out about the situation of the Zhou family, and answered casually.

Jin Jinsong nodded, "It's less. I thought that with Chu Qinbai's temper, he would have to stay in prison for at least a year and a half."

Zhou Sheng looked at the other party in surprise.

I don't know why Chu Qinbai was suddenly mentioned.

Jin Qiansong looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "Why? Chu Xuming didn't tell you that I have nothing to do with Shengyu. All my investments were made in cooperation with the Third Master Chu. A year ago, that bastard almost led me into trouble, and I almost lost his family property. Fortunately, Chu Xuming took over Shengyu in the end. I also heard about your marriage."

Zhou Sheng didn't speak for a long time.

He thought that Lancheng was indeed a circle.

He kept going around and around with people he knew.

Since the other party was honest, Zhou Sheng also said: "I didn't let him interfere in Zhou Song's affairs."

"You seem to get along better than I thought."

Zhou Sheng tilted his head, "Why do you say that?"

Jin Quansong didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "My marriage is also a business marriage, which is different from your situation. It is a purely business behavior. There were also a lot of ups and downs a few years ago. A relationship that is truly disgusting will never be like yours. And Chu Qinbai, apart from other things, is also considered "notorious" in the entertainment industry. He is not someone who can tolerate it."

Zhou Sheng couldn't comment on whether he was "notorious".

But when talking about him, Jin Quansong's words were not polite, but they must be the tone of someone who is familiar and trusted.

Zhou Sheng: "Then you and your wife..."

"He is also a man." Jin Quansong did not hold back. Zhou Sheng thought he was divorced when he saw him so straightforward, but the other party said: "It's good now. I will introduce you to each other when I have the chance."

Zhou Sheng has seen a lot of modern divorces, second marriages, and celibacy.

I thought this was also a similar ending to the story.

Now it is a bit unexpected for him.

"It sounds like this process is not going smoothly," Zhou Sheng said.

Jin Quansong smiled and nodded: "Yeah, he's impatient, the kind who gets into a fight with people if they don't agree." He glanced at Zhou Sheng and said, "Anyway, we are definitely not the same type. We have cursed at each other and fought each other, but surprisingly, we have never separated. Looking back after a few years, you will find that the real inseparable thing is that we have each other in our hearts. Now we are not in our twenties anymore, and our temperaments have become much calmer, and we get along better and better."

Zhou Sheng saw his sturdy body outline under his sports shorts.

He also runs various sports clubs.

I wonder what kind of partner can fight with him?

But seeing the other person's eyebrows softened for a moment, Zhou Sheng felt clear again.

How can the so-called fight be real violence? It must be accompanied by a fierce collision of emotions and a sincere confession after the fight.

Jin Quansong finished talking about himself.

Looking at Zhou Sheng, he joked: "But I guess you and Chu Qinbai will definitely not fight."

Zhou Sheng: "... I probably can't stand two punches."

Jin Quansong shook his head.

"I think your temper is just right for him. If you really provoke him, he may not be willing to say a harsh word."

Zhou Sheng thought, why would anyone provoke Chu Qinbai?

Not long after that day.

It is estimated that someone really did this.

"Floating Dream" had just finished filming, and it was said that Chu Qinbai had a big fight with someone backstage at an awards ceremony.

Even Zhou Sheng, who didn't pay attention to the entertainment industry at all, occasionally heard these gossips in the company, and could vaguely feel that Chu Qinbai had a lot of negative news recently, almost non-stop.

Of course, this is just a rumor, and no pictures have been circulated.

The only picture is a man named Yang Hui holding his nose and being surrounded by people coming out of the backstage. The big ball of paper in his hand is bright red, and it can be seen as blood.

Zhou Sheng remembered this Yang Hui.

He was involved in the previous fraudulent donation.

Although Zhou Sheng didn't like him, Chu Qinbai didn't return to East Lake after the filming, but attracted a large number of reporters who were waiting.

In the morning, Mrs. Zhang cooked breakfast for him and asked him, "Mr. Zhou, is the driver still busy today?"

"It's okay." Zhou Sheng said, "Since he didn't come back, I can't take a picture of him, and no one will pay attention to me."

Zhou Sheng now has Zhou Qicong's former driver in and out.

Recently, Zhou Qicong was in the recovery stage, so Zhou Sheng asked the driver to go to the hospital to help.

Zhou Sheng went out as usual.

While waiting for the car, a car suddenly slid to his side and stopped.

The car door opened with a bang, and a hand reached out and pulled him into the car unexpectedly.

Zhou Sheng's defense mechanism was activated, and he turned over and rode on it.

His elbow pressed directly on the neck of the person below, while exerting force downwards.

"Me." The person below spoke at the right time.

He raised his head and pulled off the mask.

By the way, he commented: "This action is quite good."

Zhou Sheng lifted the brim of the man's hat and looked into Chu Qinbai's eyes. He was silent for two seconds and slowly said: "You look like a fugitive. I haven't seen you for half a month. You were arrested by the police for beating someone. On the way to escape, you also took a hostage?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou looks like an easy-to-catch person."

The two were almost close to each other. When Zhou Sheng let go of his neck, the car bumped a little, and he held it back.

Chu Qinbai froze for no reason, patted him on the waist, and said solemnly: "Get off."

Zhou Sheng pulled his arm down again.

Seeing that the veins in his neck bulged, he turned over and sat next to him.

Mr. Zhou adjusted his sleeves and asked lightly: "Did you really hit someone?"

"Is he worthy of it?" Chu Qinbai tilted his legs and frowned slightly.

Zhou Sheng didn't pay attention to his movements and looked outside the car. "So I was patted?"

"Pretty smart."

What's so hard about this?

But Zhou Sheng was puzzled, "How could I be photographed?"

"It was the picture of you coming out of your house." At this time, Chen Dengdeng, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly spoke up, turned around and said, "The current high-definition equipment is very scary, it can take pictures from a long distance, but Mr. Zhou, don't worry, the photos have been processed."

Zhou Sheng couldn't keep up with the speed of processing these things in the entertainment industry.

They have their own network of relationships, and Zhou Sheng didn't care about this.

He just asked, "Then how do you plan to deal with this matter? Otherwise, I will move out in advance, which was originally planned."

Zhou Sheng didn't plan to live in Donghu all the time.

At the beginning, it was because he was not familiar with the environment, so he planned to move out for half a year.

It is natural to move out now.

Chu Qinbai glanced at him.

"Have you found a house?"

Zhou Sheng: "We can find one today."

Chu Qinbai sat up straight and leaned forward, patting the back of the driver's chair: "Go to Zhou's company and have someone move his things to the apartment in the city."

Zhou Sheng: "Did I express myself incorrectly? I'll find another one." "

Mr. Zhou." Chu Qinbai leaned back in his chair, "Live at my place so that if I'm really arrested one day, you can rescue me as soon as possible. Considering that I took you in, are you willing to do me this small favor now?"

Zhou Sheng: "That's a lame reason, I won't help."

"Once you're in my car, you have no choice but to help."

Chapter 40

After Zhou Sheng got off work that day, he first went to the hospital's rehabilitation center.

Zhou Sheng himself had been here before, and he needed to go back to the hospital regularly to get medicine. There were nurses in the hospital who knew him.

The head nurse here asked him when she saw him, "Mr. Zhou, are you here for a follow-up check?"

Zhou Sheng was originally walking side by side with Xu Chaozheng, talking about work. When he heard this, he stopped and smiled, "No, my father is recuperating here. I came to see him."

The head nurse was a fat lady.

She knew every patient well and locked onto the person without much effort.

"Mr. Zhou Qicong?"

Zhou Sheng nodded, "Yes."

The head nurse didn't know what she was thinking of, and she called Zhou Sheng aside.

She whispered to him, "The recovery from the operation is pretty good, but you know that any disease is taboo to get emotional, not to mention that he has a heart problem. The person accompanying him, I think you should change him."

"What happened?" Zhou Sheng asked.

Shu Meili has always been the accompanying person.

Although she had some opinions about Zhou Sheng, she still cared about Zhou Qicong who had always been dependent on her.

Zhou Sheng has been very busy recently. Apart from asking Zhou Qicong's original driver to come over frequently, he himself rarely has time to spare.

The head nurse looked at the young man in front of her.

She sighed in her heart.

Zhou Sheng was considered a semi-celebrity in their hospital at that time.

He miraculously woke up after lying in bed for a year. Even after being discharged from the hospital, there were still nurses who kept talking about him from time to time.

Now, he is Mr. Zhou in a suit and tie.

Compared with the sick look at that time, he has a sense of superiority that is difficult to approach. This is not deliberate, but he is probably supposed to be this kind of person. It is something that his current identity, status, environment, etc. have given him.

The woman in the ward makes trouble every day and every night, and people in the hospital are gossiping.

This kind of grievances between rich families always sound bizarre.

But the head nurse never thought that Zhou Sheng was the son of Zhou Qicong.

According to Shu Meili's curse.

Zhou Qicong's eldest son is a ruthless character.

He took away the company and sought power to usurp the throne.

He sent his father to the hospital and his brother to jail.

His stepmother was helpless except for taking care of her seriously ill husband.

Seeing that it was Zhou Sheng, the head nurse didn't say much, but just said: "If the accompanying person is not dedicated, it will easily affect the patient's mood. She has been making a fuss more than once, and she has scolded the young nurse to tears several times."

Zhou Sheng frowned and nodded: "Okay, I'll handle it."

Zhou Sheng was about to leave.

The head nurse pulled him again.

Seeing that he had not gained weight after being discharged from the hospital for such a long time, she gave him a few extra reminders: "Don't forget that you are still a patient who takes medicine every day. Check on time and have a good rest. No matter how busy you are at work, your health is more important."

"Thank you, head nurse."

"Go."

Zhou Sheng and Xu Chaogang arrived at the door of Zhou Qicong's ward.

They really heard Shu Meili's voice.

She was not scolding Zhou Qicong, but making things difficult for the nurse who was changing the dressing.

Standing by the bed, bossing people around, "Do you know how to do things? Do you know how much this bag of mine costs? Call your head nurse, call her now!"

The young nurse kept apologizing with her head down.

Zhou Qicong half-lying, "Are you done yet? If you are angry, just come to me. Why do you embarrass the nurses every day?!"

"I am angry? Do I dare to be angry?!" Shu Meili said sarcastically, "My son is still in jail. Who can I be angry with? He will be locked up for three months. I don't know if he eats well, sleeps well, or is bullied. Zhou Qicong, have you ever cared about him?"

Outside the door.

Xu Chao hesitated, "Brother Sheng."

"It's okay." Zhou Sheng pushed the door open while speaking.

He stepped inside and motioned the nurse to leave first.

Then he stopped Shu Meili, who wanted to persist, and looked at the black leather bag in her hand that was soaked with water.

"How much is the package? I'll give it to you."

"You give it to me?" Shu Meili glared, "Why do you give me money? Your current money is Zhou's money, the company's money. Is that your Zhou Sheng's money? You are just an agent, not the real president!"

Maybe because her son was in jail, Shu Meili went from being timid at the beginning to the stage of breaking the jar.

Zhou Sheng didn't say anything, just kept looking at her.

Shu Meili's remaining curses suddenly stopped.

Zhou Sheng saw that she couldn't hide the fear in her eyes. Then

he said: "What Zhou Song suffered is the punishment he deserves. What I spent is naturally the money I earned myself. Since I have the final say in Zhou's company now, I can also decide whether you can get money from the company in the future, and whether Zhou Song will have a good life in the future."

"Why do you control my spending?" Shu Meili asked.

Zhou Sheng: "The money in your card is deducted from the company account every month."

Shu Meili's lips trembled: "You vicious..."

Zhou Sheng said coldly: "Think about it before you say it."

Shu Meili was blocked and simply wiped her tears again.

When she thought about the days she had been through during this period, she felt miserable. She

was laughed at by those rich ladies behind her back, her son was not doing well, and her husband gave the company to his eldest son Zhou Sheng for nothing. Zhou Song's girlfriend, who used to obey her, had completely changed her attitude towards her mother since she knew he was arrested, and the marriage was called off.

Everything was not going well.

She was not afraid of Zhou Qinong lying on the hospital bed.

Instead, she was inexplicably afraid of Zhou Sheng.

Especially since Zhou Qinong now valued Zhou Sheng more and more.

His attitude made her completely unable to act like an elder in front of Zhou Sheng, and she could only swallow her anger every time.

Half an hour later, Zhou Sheng pushed Zhou Qinong downstairs to get some fresh air.

Zhou Sheng said, "I'll ask someone to find a new caregiver for you tomorrow."

"No need." Zhou Qinong waved his hand and sighed, "I can basically take care of myself now. If I ask someone to come at this time, Zhou Song's mother will only make a fuss. I know her." Zhou Sheng

disagreed.

"The hospital is a place to save the dying and heal the wounded. How can people work if she makes a fuss like this every day?"

Zhou Qicong smiled helplessly: "I thought you were mainly worried about me, but it turns out you are more worried about the hospital."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

This really sounded like an unfilial son.

Zhou Sheng changed the subject.

"It's just that I'm planning to invest in medical care recently. I know it's not easy to work in a hospital."

Zhou Qicong stopped the wheelchair, leaned on the armrest and looked back: "Why did you think of working in the medical field?" He frowned and turned back, "Zhou has never had anything to do with the medical department. You are walking so steadily now, it's really unnecessary, and medical care is not easy to do."

Zhou Sheng continued to push the wheelchair forward.

There were patients basking in the sun on the lawn.

Occasionally, medical staff would pass by.

Zhou Sheng said, "It's not Zhou's, I do it in my personal name."

Zhou Qinong suddenly stopped talking.

After a while, he asked, "Are you unwilling to take over the company?"

Zhou Qinong has been working diligently in the business world for many years, and he has to admit that it is absolutely impossible for him, Zhou Qinong, to develop Zhou's into what it is now in such a short time.

Zhou Sheng was too unexpected for him.

But he always had a feeling that what Zhou Sheng cared about was not the Zhou family's company, not the titles such as president and general manager.

If he really didn't want to do it one day, he could definitely withdraw at any time.

As a father, he didn't expect that one day he would ask his son to inherit the family property.

Zhou Qinong was so sincere that he sighed and said, "Zhou Song has a record of serving a sentence, and there is not much way to get ahead in this life. Zhou Sheng, Dad doesn't rely on you for retirement, but the company depends on you."

Zhou Sheng looked at the other person's hair, which had turned white in a short period of time.

He said, "Dad, I won't be irresponsible. I took care of the Fucheng project, and the subsequent plans are also moving forward. Running a business is not a personal matter, so how can I just give up?"

Zhou Qinong could see that Zhou Sheng was also emotional about his current career.

Zhou Qinong was relieved.

But he was still puzzled: "The company is busy enough for you, why are you looking for trouble?"

"It's not a trouble." Zhou Sheng said, "I want to do it."

Not for anything else, just because he wanted to do it.

In the era he lived in, medicines were extremely scarce, especially medicines like penicillin, which were hard currency and more expensive than gold.

They could save lives at critical moments.

Zhou Sheng had handled a batch of them.

It was a lot of trouble.

He just couldn't forget those people who were dragged to death and struggled in pain because they didn't have enough and timely medicine.

Just like he couldn't forget the picture of a family so poor that they couldn't even feed themselves, but the children came to him to borrow books.

His situation is much better now than when he first came.

Things that you are capable of doing.

Why not do it?

Zhou Qinong is now less and less able to control him. On many matters, Zhou Sheng has to listen to him instead.

In the end, he only said: "Do what you want to do. Dad believes in you."

At this point, he remembered something. He said

to Zhou Sheng: "You might as well ask Chu Qinbai about medical treatment."

"I know he is involved in charitable donations and investments, but not in medical treatment, right?"

Zhou Qinong said: "It's not him, it's his second brother-in-law, a military doctor. If you have any questions about this, let Chu Qinbai ask you."

Zhou Sheng only then knew that Chu Qinbai's second sister Chu Annan was in the army and was a female officer.

The second brother-in-law is a doctor.

Neither of them lives in Lancheng.

Zhou Qinong looked at him with a face full of ignorance and was puzzled: "I said, didn't you know everything about Chu Qinbai before? How come you don't even know that his second sister has been married for several years now?"

Zhou Sheng was a little embarrassed. How could he explain this?

Who would ask if his second sister was married for no reason?

Besides, apart from Chu Qinbai, who doesn't follow the ordinary path, his eldest brother Chu Xuming is not married yet.

Speaking of Chu Qinbai.

Zhou Qicong frowned: "What else, what happened to him recently? Why did he hit someone?"

"He didn't." Zhou Sheng said.

While Zhou Sheng said this, he was also thinking that this is the bad thing about being a celebrity.

There is no home to go back to, and if something happens, everyone will know.

Zhou Qicong probably heard Chu Qinbai call him dad twice.

Now he doesn't think his son is inferior to Chu Qinbai. He even thinks his son is at a disadvantage.

Turning around and educating him: "You can't indulge him in everything like this. If he gets into trouble after getting married, it will affect you. If others find out that your husband hits someone one day, how bad will that make people's impression be."

"He really didn't hit anyone." Zhou Sheng said again.

It is probably because there have been too many reports in the news in the past two days.

Zhou Qicong didn't listen at all

and suddenly asked Zhou Sheng: "He won't fight with you, will he?"

Zhou Sheng was silent for two seconds: "...No. He said it himself, the beating was fake."

Zhou Qicong pointed at him: "I think you are just confused. You believe everything he says. I saw the news about him. He was bleeding. He is not young, and he still uses fists to solve problems." Zhou Sheng's

mood is quite complicated. He is not saying that he believes Chu Qinbai unconditionally.

It is him. If he really beats someone, he will not say that the person is unworthy.

Zhou Sheng has seen how difficult it is for this person to explain once he has a preconceived idea.

Not to mention facing the thousands of troops on the Internet.

He walked into the hospital with the mood of visiting.

He walked out with a slightly complicated mood.

Knowing that the driver Xiaolin came to pick him up, Xu Chao left first.

He couldn't go back to Donghu and the time was too tight, so Zhou Sheng had to get in the car.

Xiaolin waited for him to sit down and habitually looked behind the car to prevent someone from taking pictures with the car.

Zhou Sheng sat in the back and noticed his movements.

Hesitantly asked: "Is Chu Qinbai's recent incident really serious?"

"Ah, that, it's not serious."

Xiao Lin shook his head, "It was just hearsay, and Chu Ge was not backstage at the time. The outside world has always thought that he and Yang Hui are mortal enemies, so when something happens, they will naturally associate it with Chu Ge."

Zhou Sheng was puzzled: "But you can't just make an association out of thin air."

"Mr. Zhou." Xiao Lin smiled and said, "That's because you don't understand this circle. There are too many things that are made up out of thin air. But this time it's not completely imaginary."

"Why?"

"Before, Yang Hui defrauded donations and asked Chu Ge to take the blame, so Sister Fan took ruthless action. Yang Hui hasn't had good resources for a long time, and the audience has a very bad impression of him. His fans have always been biting Chu Ge, and this time the incident will definitely be characterized as a personal grudge."

Xiao Lin gave him some scientific knowledge.

Yang Hui has been in the industry for more than ten years.

Although he has not won as many awards as Chu Qinbai, he is not a person without a foundation.

The two have been nominated for many major awards together.

But it's amazing that as long as they appear in the same session, Yang Hui has never won.

This is something that people in the industry talk about with great relish, and it always becomes a hot topic.

Xiao Lin said, "When the news of Chu's departure from Shengkai came out, the scandals that followed should have been done by Yang Hui."

"You know a lot," Zhou Sheng said.

Xiao Lin smiled as he drove, "I'm Chu's driver, so I must know more than others."

Xiao Lin drove him directly to a residential area in the city center.

When driving into the underground garage, he said, "Mr. Zhou, I will be your driver for a while. Brother Chu's house here is not like Donghu, so few people know about it. You can live here without worry. I will pick you up tomorrow morning."

"My driver?" Zhou Sheng was puzzled. "Where is Chu Qinbai?"

"Brother Chu just finished filming, there is nothing important." Xiao Lin said, "Besides, Brother Chu can drive himself, and he specifically asked me to follow you during this period."

Zhou Sheng nodded and agreed.

Thinking about things, he went upstairs.

The door was a fingerprint lock. Zhou Sheng stopped and knocked.

No one answered.

Zhou Sheng knocked again.

Still no one.

Didn't you say someone was there?

Zhou Sheng called Chu Qinbai, and the call was answered in less than two seconds.

"Are you there?" Chu Qinbai's voice came out.

Zhou Sheng hummed, "At the door, ask someone to open the door for me."

Chu Qinbai sat on the sofa and looked at Chen Dengdeng, who had opened the door early in the morning and was waiting at the door.

While standing up, he thought for a moment and asked him: "Look up, which floor are you on?"

Zhou Sheng said slowly: "Thirty-six."

"Mr. Zhou, I just didn't go downstairs to pick you up, how could you be so confused."

Chu Qinbai said helplessly: "Thirty-eight. Wait and don't move."

Two minutes later, Zhou Sheng saw Chu Qinbai coming down at the elevator door. There

was a bloody storm outside, but the man stood still.

As usual, he stepped out of the elevator with long legs, raised his hand and pressed the button next to him to go up, and asked him sideways: "What are you thinking about? Did you knock on someone else's door? Aren't you afraid that people will think you are a gangster?"

Zhou Sheng was very calm.

He held his right wrist with his left hand and stood slowly.

"I knocked, but no one was there."

Chu Qinbai clicked his tongue.

The elevator door opened.

He went in first and tilted his head to signal Zhou Sheng to come in.

"Let's go, Brother Chu will take you home."
