☆ 53. Chapter 51

Chapter 51

Chu Qinbai was accused of fooling around. His first reaction was to grab his collar and sniff it. Then he cursed softly and said, "The perfume was stained in the box. I didn't do anything."

"Even if you did, you don't need to tell me."

Zhou Sheng gave him a light look and handed over the car keys that Chen Dengdeng gave him before he came in.

"Remember to answer the phone next time you go out. Since you are not drunk enough to walk, you can call a designated driver after the party is over."

Chu Qinbai lowered his head and glanced at the car keys. He

looked up at Zhou Sheng again.

As if he had grasped the point, he smiled, "Are you here to pick me up?"

"On the way, the assistant thought you were drunk."

Chu Qinbai nodded: "Yes, I was drunk and couldn't call a designated driver."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

This skill of lying with open eyes really doesn't need to be prepared.

Zhou Sheng came here, essentially to pick someone up.

He glanced at the young man with red eyes behind Chu Qinbai, but he didn't recognize him as Ren Qixuan at first.

After all, they had only met briefly once, and Zhou Sheng didn't remember everyone.

But the other party's staring and even resentful eyes were really hard to ignore.

Ren Qixuan was different from the impression Zhou Sheng had given him before.

He looked a lot more embarrassed now.

His clothes were messy, the buttons seemed to be torn and broken, and half of his face was red, as if he had been slapped.

Zhou Sheng's eyes passed over him and looked at Chu Qinbai again.

"Then I'll leave Xiaolin behind."

As he was about to leave the door, Chu Qinbai pulled him again, "Wait, I'll go back to the box to get clothes, let's go together."

Zhou Sheng frowned.

No words.

At the entrance of the Golden Elephant Club.

Zhou Sheng sat in the car, occasionally looking outside.

Two minutes later, he just saw Ren Qixuan chasing out and caught up with Chu Qinbai who had just come out at the door.

I don't know what he was talking about.

It can be seen that Chu Qinbai looked irritable.

Chen Dengdeng also noticed it. He first looked around nervously, and then looked at Zhou Sheng who was sitting in the car with worry.

"Mr. Zhou, you just..."

Chen Dengdeng wanted to ask him if he had seen anything he shouldn't have seen when he entered.

But she felt that she shouldn't ask this question, so she stopped talking in time.

As an assistant, she knew that her boss was not a messy person.

But there are so many messy people in the entertainment industry.

It was actually nothing for Brother Chu to come to such a place in the past, but this time there was not only Director Yu Tong, but also Ren Qixuan. Brother Chu and Ren Qixuan had been on the news together, and now they were entangled at the door. Anyone who saw this scene would think that the two of them were unclear.

Would Mr. Zhou misunderstand something?

Chen Dengdeng changed her approach.

As if talking to herself, she carefully tested and said, "This Ren Qixuan is too much. He actually chased out openly. I don't know what happened inside."

How could Zhou Sheng not see through the little girl's thoughts. She

smiled, looked at the computer on her knees and said, "No matter what happens, your brother Chu will handle it himself."

"Yeah, that's right." Chen Dengdeng hesitated.

Then, as if unwilling, "Mr. Zhou, why don't you care about it?"

"What do you care about?"

"Of course, I care about Brother Chu."

Chen Dengdeng naturally didn't dare to let Mr. Zhou get involved in the entertainment industry.

She was just thinking that if she had a boyfriend one day, even if there was no love, as long as he dared to flirt with other women under the identity of boyfriend, she would break his legs!

"Don't care about him." Zhou Sheng said.

Chen Dengdeng: "Ah? Really don't care about it?"

Zhou Sheng glanced at the girl with glaring eyes and smiled, "He is an adult man, not a teenager. If someone really wants to do something wrong, it's futile to care. If he doesn't do something wrong, you should be able to handle this matter properly. Those of you who work around him should know this better."

Chen Dengdeng stopped talking immediately.

She always felt that Mr. Zhou always used the calmest tone to say the most realistic and direct words.

In front of such a person, all your twists and turns will be easily seen through.

Ren Qixuan stretched out his hand to block Chu Qinbai.

He no longer cared about his dignity.

He knew very well that if he let go today, he would really have no hope.

At this moment, he did not expect mercy from Chu Qinbai.

Because when he came to him in the bathroom just now, he understood that he was just helping him the first time, but he was not born to be a compassionate person.

What's more, he had already seen through his calculations.

So he could only raise his head proudly.

He said, "I was just caught in the bathroom by an outsider, Brother Chu. I can't let anything go until I can guarantee that he will not expose my affairs."

Chu Qinbai paused because of these words, and also put away his carelessness because of these words.

Ren Qixuan knew that he had hit the key point.

Whether it was losing reason or jealousy.

He just wanted to see to what extent he cared about the other party.

Chu Qinbai seemed to have enough patience and glanced at him: "What did you say?"

Ren Qixuan took two breaths and opened his eyes wide as if he wanted to see through all of Chu Qinbai's expressions. "I said, if there are a few words about what happened today on the Internet, I can't guarantee that the information about Mr. Zhou who also appeared here will not be known to the public."

But Ren Qixuan was disappointed.

Chu Qinbai's face did not show any anger.

He looked at him as if he was looking at an ant.

"As long as you call the police, Lu Ming, as a boss, will not sit idly by. He still has the ability to suppress this matter." Chu Qinbai shook the coat in his hand and glanced at the car on the side of the road, as if his mind had already gone there. It was unnecessary to talk nonsense with him and said: "I won't use any relationship to help you. Finding me may not be your only way out, because after weighing the pros and cons, you found that I am your best choice to climb up."

Chu Qinbai mercilessly exposed the secret in his heart.

Is it wrong to like someone?

Yes, Ren Qixuan has always told himself this.

He is obviously the victim.

It was Yu Tong who had no bottom line first.

He smashed the man's head because he had bad intentions towards him.

Can he run away tonight? Actually, he can.

When he was taken out by Yu Tong alone, he also had the opportunity to ask the waiter for help.

Chu Qinbai was right. He could call his agent, Lu Ming, and there were many ways.

But he still found Chu Qinbai.

All the dark and twisted thoughts behind this, with lucky ideas, were revealed by Chu Qinbai, making Ren Qixuan feel that his face was torn off.

Zhou Sheng's appearance burned his sanity.

He chased to the door and tried to threaten him with the person he thought Chu Qinbai cared about.

He walked towards the abyss step by step.

Chu Qinbai walked around him and stepped down the stairs.

Thinking of something, he turned back.

"Since you can't guarantee whether Zhou Sheng's information will appear on the Internet. I can promise you that if you really dare to do this, I will let you taste what the real evil people in this circle are, and know what kind of person I, Chu Qinbai, am."

Chu Qinbai's tone was obviously calm, but the anger under this calmness made Ren Qixuan seem to see a madman and a devil.

At this time, he realized that

he had never really known him.

The Chu Qinbai he knew was the famous actor Chu in Vanity Fair.

It was the dedicated Chu brother that everyone talked about when filming.

But he never asked himself, who is Chu Qinbai?

Ren Qixuan's face turned pale. He also glanced at the roadside and smiled bitterly: "Do you dare to say such words to that person? Do you dare to let him know how cruel and cold-blooded you, Chu Qinbai, are?"

Chu Qinbai: "He doesn't need to know."

Ren Qixuan took two steps back.

There was fear and terror in his heart.

There was overwhelming anger and crazy jealousy.

He didn't need to know, because you would never treat him like this?

Or is that person so special in your heart, so special that no one else can compare to him?

Zhou Sheng. At

this moment, Ren Qixuan

truly remembered this person. When

Chu Qinbai got in the car, Zhou Sheng took the time to look at him.

"Is it resolved?" Zhou Sheng asked.

Chu Qinbai leaned back, and in the confined space, the smell of alcohol on his body became stronger.

He turned his head to meet Zhou Sheng's gaze, "Don't you want to ask?"

Zhou Sheng shook his head: "It's none of my business."

Chu Qinbai laughed when he heard this.

Suddenly, he reached out and pinched Zhou Sheng's serious face, saying, "Mr. Zhou is always so sober and rational."

Zhou Sheng slapped him on the back of his hand.

"Don't be drunk."

Chu Qinbai took advantage of the situation and loosened the soft flesh on his cheek. His thumb rubbed the faintly red skin and said, "It turns red when you pinch it. You are really thin-skinned."

Zhou Sheng looked at his messy hair after drinking, and his wrinkled shirt revealed a faintly red neck. He just came in from outside with an aggressive look.

This man never puts on his face when he drinks.

If you don't look closely and smell of alcohol, you won't notice that he is drunk.

"Drive." Zhou Sheng signaled the driver to start.

Chu Qinbai was quiet after the start.

He returned to his seat, leaned back with his arm over his eyes, and didn't move at all.

Halfway through the journey, Zhou Sheng felt a little tired in his eyes and looked out the window absentmindedly.

He was used to the night view of Lancheng.

Every time on the way back at night, he could still feel a sense of tranquility from it.

Chu Qinbai's shadow was reflected on the car window.

It was then that Zhou Sheng noticed that he had his hand on his stomach.

Zhou Sheng turned around. The light inside the car was a little dim, but he could still see his tense jaw.

"Stomachache?" Zhou Sheng asked while simply taking his arm.

Chu Qinbai seemed to have not expected his action, revealing a pair of tired eyes that were faintly red as the alcohol evaporated. His brows were furrowed, and the discomfort was self-evident.

Zhou Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

He thought of the night when he said he was full and fell asleep in the living room.

He put down the computer, sat a little closer, raised his hand and blew a breath on his palm.

After rubbing it and feeling warm, he took his own hand away and covered the place he had covered before.

Zhou Sheng met his gaze and said, "How much did you drink? Knowing that you have stomach problems but refusing to stop drinking, is it your own fault?"

"I can't avoid it. I'll get a little bit of it." Chu Qinbai looked at him and whispered.

Zhou Sheng actually knew this too.

He has to drink at work, and the entertainment industry is full of cigarettes, alcohol and sex.

How can he avoid it completely?

Zhou Sheng held his hand and rubbed it slowly, only to feel a piece of hard muscle under his palm.

He himself hadn't trained it, and he couldn't help but touch it twice while rubbing it.

Chu Qinbai said hoarsely: "Where are you touching?"

"It looks good but is useless." Zhou Sheng calmly moved to the original position and said: "Even if you have abdominal muscles, it doesn't mean you don't have stomach pain."

Chu Qinbai gritted his teeth: "Be careful when you talk."

Zhou Sheng didn't want to argue with him on this issue.

"Where are the medicines? Do you have any at home?"

"It seems to be gone

." "Then buy some more on the roadside later."

Zhou Sheng's posture was not very convenient.

He held his hand for two minutes and was about to let go.

As soon as he took it away, Chu Qinbai pushed it back again, "Continue."

Zhou Sheng glanced at him and insisted on sitting back: "My kindness is only for these two minutes, no more."

Chu Qinbai glanced at him in the dim light in the car.

That glance made Zhou Sheng frown faintly.

"Does it still hurt?" he asked.

Chu Qinbai chuckled and leaned back.

"Don't be too kind."

Zhou Sheng thought that his kindness was referring to what happened tonight.

He had heard a general idea when he was at the bathroom door. In fact, he didn't need to guess, he knew that Ren Qixuan's appearance had nothing to do with Chu Qinbai.

Zhou Sheng had walked in the long dark night before.

He knew the importance of focusing on one thing.

He also knew that the more glamorous the position, the more shadows there were underneath. Chu Qinbai, who had been in such an environment for many years, had experienced and seen things that were not black and white.

Being kind was the most unnecessary and useless thing at this time.

Zhou Sheng said that it had nothing to do with him, but finally asked: "Is there a problem with Ren Qixuan?"

"What?" Chu Qinbai seemed puzzled, and then frowned: "Why mention him for no reason?"

Zhou Sheng speechlessly: "You just asked me to be kind and not give too much."

Chu Qinbai helplessly: "I asked you not to give me too much."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm greedy." Chu Qinbai turned his head to look at him again, his expression dark and difficult to discern: "If a greedy person really has evil thoughts one day, I'm afraid you won't even have anywhere to run."

"I see that you are really drunk."

Chu Qinbai looked at him for a while, and simply pushed him down.

His breath sprayed on Zhou Sheng's neck, and he whispered: "Yeah, that's right, I'm drunk so I ask for Mr. Zhou's mercy." At the same time, he pressed Zhou Sheng's hand back to his stomach: "Hold it for a while longer, I'll be in so much pain that you'll be a widower."

Zhou Sheng's hand was pulled, and he couldn't break free, so he pressed it and gritted his teeth: "Then I think you'd better die in pain."

Chu Qinbai buried his head in his neck and laughed

softly. Zhou Sheng's face was flushed by his laughter.

The driver and assistant in the front row all lowered their heads, not to mention looking back, they were too embarrassed to even breathe.

☆ 54. Chapter 52

Chapter 52

Chu Qinbai is getting more and more excessive.

The hug on the street in a foreign country, the breath sprayed on his neck at this moment. Every time he approaches him, it is not excessive, but Zhou Sheng can clearly sense that he is stepping into his safety line step by step.

In a calm, unquestionable way, which makes Zhou Sheng unable to refuse.

This is not work.

Zhou Sheng cannot analyze such things in a clear and orderly manner.

This is not his area of ​​expertise. It is

inevitable that he will be embarrassed sometimes, or panic.

Chu Qinbai has a stomachache, but it is not annoying.

Zhou Sheng can only rationalize Chu Qinbai's behavior in this way, and also rationalize why he did not avoid it.

It was already late when he got home.

Zhou Sheng did not expect to pick up a child downstairs.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw a half-knee-high little ball rushing over, hugging his legs and shouting: "Aunt."

Even Zhou Sheng was stunned at the time.

He looked down at the little guy who was clinging to his knees.

The child was probably about three or four years old, with big eyes, a woolen hat, and a little dinosaur costume.

Zhou Sheng came to his senses and thought it was a lost child.

He bent down and picked the child up.

The child's soft body simply lay directly on his shoulder, looking dependent.

"Hey, where did the child come from?" Chen Dengdeng got out of the car from the passenger seat and was the first to see the person Zhou Sheng was holding.

Zhou Sheng tugged at the child's clothes and asked him, "Where are your parents?"

The child said in a baby voice, "Busy, let me find my uncle."

"What parents are so irresponsible?" Chen Dengdeng frowned immediately, looked around, and didn't see anyone who looked like the child's parents. He complained, "Aren't you afraid that such a young child will be lost?"

"Call the police." Zhou Sheng said.

Chen Dengdeng took out his mobile phone after hearing this.

At this time, Chu Qinbai, who got out of the other side of the car, was still on the phone.

Glancing towards Zhou Sheng, she noticed the person on his shoulder and said to the person on the phone, "We're here. Um... I won't take care of your child. I'll have someone pick him up right away."

Chu Annan: "Half a month. I'll come pick him up myself."

"Where's your eldest brother?"

"He's been single for more than 30 years. How can I send him to him?"

Chu Qinbai held the roof of the car with his hand and said with a dark face, "So what makes you think I'm willing to take care of him for you?"

"Because you're Nian Nian's uncle, if you don't have the guts, just throw him away."

The second sister of the Chu family has always been a tough character.

Chu Qinbai's expression was really ugly.

That look scared the little thing on Zhou Sheng's shoulder and made it get closer to his arms.

Chu Qinbai slowed down and said, "I'll send him to the old man."

When Chu Annan mentioned Chu Jianxiong, he immediately got angry. "Chu Qinbai, do you want to be beaten?"

The woman's full-bodied voice could be heard clearly in the parking lot without turning on the hands-free function.

Chen Dengdeng had already stopped calling the police.

She shrank in the front of the car and dared not speak.

Zhou Sheng also roughly guessed the identity of the child.

He had learned from Zhou Qincong that Chu Qinbai's second sister had been married for several years. Judging from Chu Qinbai's phone call, she must have sent the child back to Lancheng because of something.

Zhou Sheng no longer cared about the content of Chu Qinbai's phone call.

He turned around and asked the child gently, "What's your name?"

The child knocked his chin on Zhou Sheng's shoulder and said word by word: "My name is Sheng Nian'an."

It was really cute.

"Why do you know me?" Zhou Sheng unconsciously imitated the child's tone.

Sheng Nian'an: "Because I have seen the photo of my aunt-in-law. My uncle is so fierce. Every time he calls my mother, he quarrels."

Zhou Sheng: "Yes, he is so fierce. We ignore him."

The child's understanding of quarreling is probably that the tone is not very good.

Zhou Sheng didn't care what the child called him. The photo he thought should be the photo that his family got when Zhou Sheng and Chu Qinbai got married.

In fact, it was not.

The three children of the Chu family have different personalities.

The elder brother was stable and obeyed his father. He grew up step by step and successfully took over the Chu family. The

second sister was a hot temper. In the

worst

years of Chu Qinbai, the second sister was the only one who would hold him in his ears and said that he would slap him. She helped her. Others felt that the eldest brother of the Chu family was really good to this brother of the same

father

. Chu Annan suppressed his temper and started to negotiate, "I heard that your "wife" had a serious accident before and is not in good health, right? I have seen the physical report you sent to Sheng Chuan. You know that your second brother-in-law is not only an expert in surgery, but also has good results in the research of rehabilitation and conditioning. How about asking him to come and help you when the time comes?" Since the family card doesn't work, just negotiate conditions. This is very Chu Annan. Chu Qinbai really didn't say anything. She heard that there was an unexpected development between him and his marriage partner after marriage. She didn't believe it at first, but now she believes it. Chu Qinbai happened to see Zhou Sheng talking to the child in a low voice. Chu Qinbai couldn't remember the exact date when the report was sent to Sheng Chuan. At that time, in order to check on him, Fan Xuan was asked to retrieve the hospital report when he was hospitalized. In the end, the report was sent to Sheng Chuan, asking him if there was anything he needed to pay attention to in his daily life. Chu Qinbai retracted his gaze: "One week, no more." Chu Annan: "Okay! I'll have someone move Nian Nian's things to your place." Zhou Sheng saw that he finally hung up the phone. Turning to ask him: "What did you say?" "Take care of the child for a few days, and someone will come to pick him up when the time comes." Chu Qinbai came around and wanted to take the child from him. Sheng Nian'an twisted her body and refused to let him hold her, muttering: "I want my aunt, I want my aunt." "Sheng Nian'an!" Chu Qinbai called for help with a cold face. Zhou Sheng couldn't stand him like this. "You scared him." Zhou Sheng patted the child on the back and complained: "Speak nicely."

Chu Qinbai glanced at him.

"Do you like children?"

Zhou Sheng thought for a moment and said, "I think so."

"What do you mean by so?"

Zhou Sheng did not explain.

His patience with children comes from his own experience.

He has seen many orphans, including little beggars wandering on the streets, who were born without a father or a mother. There are children who lost their parents overnight during the war, but they are still ignorant and wait for their parents to open their eyes beside the cold bodies. There are groups of children in the church who rely on each other, but they are like a group of frightened chicks, and they will huddle together and scream at the slightest movement.

Those pairs of eyes are the best interpretation of being born at the wrong time.

Many of them ended their lives in childhood, and they didn't even have time to grow up.

When Zhou Sheng was dealing with the last sum of money on hand, he invested the money in the largest orphanages.

To say that he likes children, he actually doesn't know if he likes them.

But he won't raise any children easily.

After his cousin's daughter went missing, Zhou Sheng took her back to the Zhou family to take care of her. Another reason was that she was seven months pregnant at the time.

This is why Zhou Sheng was so upset when he met Feng Jiaojiao.

Feng Jiaojiao said he knew a lot.

But the child was not born in the end.

The cousin's mental condition was unstable, and she was hit by the disaster of her husband's family, which led to a difficult delivery.

Women in that era were like floating duckweed.

Infants were even more fragile.

The sky that Zhou Sheng could hold up for this was not solid and broad. He would not even keep a pet dog like Taotao, let alone take on a new life.

But seeing the child, it is inevitable to be soft-hearted.

Children nowadays are raised delicately, and they are like a cloud in their hands.

Zhou Sheng saw that Sheng Nian'an was very afraid of Chu Qinbai.

Looking at him, he asked back: "Don't you like children?"

"I'm afraid of children." Chu Qinbai said coldly.

Zhou Sheng: "..."

There was suddenly a little ball in the apartment.

It brought a great impact to Zhou Sheng and Chu Qinbai's peaceful relationship.

They passed the first two hours of adaptation.

Although Sheng Nian'an was not as afraid of Chu Qinbai as he was at the beginning, he would basically walk around him, and this little tail would follow Zhou Sheng wherever he went.

He had obviously never met Zhou Sheng.

Children probably naturally know who looks safer and easier to get along with.

He came in a hurry, and even if he wanted to call Mrs. Zhang to help take care of him, it would have to be tomorrow.

Only two people could deal with him that night.

It was twelve o'clock.

He refused to take a shower, brush his teeth, or go to bed.

He was making a fuss about looking for his parents.

Chu Qinbai sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, and his patience was about to run out.

Zhou Sheng would not send the child here unless he asked what was going on with his second sister. But looking at this uncle and nephew who were forced together, he had a premonition of Chu Qinbai's chaotic life in the future.

Chu Qinbai folded his hands and looked at the little thing dropping golden beans on the carpet.

"Your mom won't be free to pick you up for a week. Your dad is overseas and can't come back for the time being. Either you take a shower or I'll send you to my assistant. It's your choice."

He seemed to be negotiating with an adult, not a child.

Sheng Nian'an grabbed his toy car and threw it at him: "Stinky uncle, bad uncle!" After

throwing him, he cried even harder.

Zhou Sheng couldn't stand it.

He took the little thing into the bathroom in time, coaxed it to take a shower while calming it down.

Zhou Sheng didn't have enough experience in this area.

Children are forgetful and playful. Zhou Sheng was soon splashed with water in the bathroom. When the shelf where the children's items were placed fell down, Zhou Sheng bumped into Chu Qinbai who heard the noise and pushed the door open. Chu Qinbai frowned

and saw the scene in the bathroom, and his breath stopped on the spot.

Zhou Sheng rolled up his shirt, revealing half of his thin white arms.

The half-shirt was tightly attached to the body, and the narrow waist inside was visible.

But this man was still unaware. He opened his eyes covered by the dripping hair, looked at him with surprise and said, "How did you get in?"

"Come in and take a look." Chu Qinbai said.

While speaking, he took the large bath towel from the shelf next to him, shook it open and covered Zhou Sheng's whole body.

He wiped his hair and said, "Go out and change your clothes, I'll do it."

"You'll make him cry again later." Zhou Sheng said.

Chu Qinbai stared: "He cries or you cry, which one do you choose?"

"What?" Zhou Sheng asked in confusion.

Chu Qinbai: "Don't talk nonsense, get out."

Zhou Sheng was still confused. He

was pushed out directly.

Soon, the sound of a big and a small quarrel rang out in the bathroom again.

That night, Zhou Sheng slept until midnight, and a meat ball suddenly pushed into the quilt.

The moment he was awakened.

Just then, the lights in the room were bright, and he got up and saw Chu Qinbai standing at the door.

The child on Zhou Sheng's chest showed his little head.

He pouted at the person at the door: "I just want to sleep with my aunt, not you."

"Sheng Nian'an, if you make trouble again, I will throw you into the street now, believe it

or not?" Chu Qinbai's hair was messy, and he was obviously tortured.

Zhou Sheng was sandwiched between the uncle and nephew, and he found Chu Qinbai's appearance funny again.

Chu Qinbai stepped into Zhou Sheng's room.

Come to his arms to catch someone.

Zhou Sheng was pressed by the child, and he kept arching, and laughed when he felt itchy. Looking at Chu Qinbai above, he said: "Forget it, let him sleep here, it's just one night anyway, and Zhang's wife will be here the next day."

"You're not going to work tomorrow?" Chu Qinbai said, looking at his smiling face.

Zhou Sheng: "It's okay, just one night."

Zhou Sheng said, hugging the child's butt, and said: "Niannian, tell your uncle why he wants to sleep with me. If the reason can convince him, you can stay with me tonight."

Sheng Nian'an hugged him: "My aunt smells good, I like it."

Zhou Sheng met Chu Qinbai's half-smile eyes and felt embarrassed.

"Perfume?" Chu Qinbai asked him.

Zhou Sheng's voice was tense: "No, it smells like shower gel."

"The bathroom supplies in my house are all the same brand, why do yours smell better?"

Zhou Sheng was annoyed and glared at him: "How should I know."

Sheng Nian'an imitated him: "How should I know."

Chu Qinbai clicked his tongue and nodded: "Okay, you two are my ancestors."

Then he bent down and pulled the child out, covered him up and gritted his teeth: "If you want to sleep, sleep properly and don't rub against me."

In three or four days, Sheng Nian'an was taken care of by his uncle's assistant.

His agent Sister Fan also took care of him.

Chu Xuming even had someone send a bunch of things to the apartment.

Even Zhou Sheng was pestered by the child and took him to the company once.

In the president's office building, he was strongly loved by all the secretaries.

They didn't think it was Zhou Sheng's child.

After all, they didn't look alike.

Xu Chao was still trembling with fear. He was obviously with Brother Sheng on the last business trip to the UK. But people in the company said that when he was on a video conference, there was an extra man in the room.

Xu Chao never asked.

After work, he held the child for Zhou Sheng.

He was afraid that others would ask about it and affect Brother Sheng's secret marriage.

But what you fear will come true.

When the elevator went down to the 16th floor, colleagues from the marketing department and the production department just came in.

"Mr. Zhou, Assistant Xu."

They greeted each other.

A female colleague asked in surprise: "Where did the child come from? So cute."

"From a friend's family." Zhou Sheng smiled and said nothing more.

Someone teased Sheng Nian'an: "Little kid, whose child are you from?"

"I belong to my uncle and aunt."

Everyone in the elevator was laughing.

Xu Chao was sweating.

The female colleague continued to tease: "Who is your uncle?"

"Chu Qinbai." The elevator's splash screen happened to be displaying the promotional poster of the movie "I Am Not Me". He pointed to it and said, "There it is!"

The colleagues were all very happy.

"They are talking about the movie emperor Chu."

"I guess an adult taught him, or he saw it in the cinema himself."

The colleague chatted about gossip: "This is normal. My little nephew saw a new generation of idols on TV once. He chased after people's photos and called them brother every day. Kids nowadays are really, they start chasing stars when they are very young."

Zhou Sheng actually doesn't have much airs in front of his subordinates.

As long as it is not a serious public occasion, everyone will chat about some unimportant things in front of him.

Someone else asked him, "Boss Zhou, we have a team-building activity next week, will you go?"

"I've approved the funding." Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "Whether you go or not will depend on your schedule."

"Boss Zhou, you must go. There aren't many good-looking male colleagues in the company. They're either married or have kids. Just think of it as a feast for the eyes for us female colleagues. You must go. We're relying on you, Boss Zhou."

A male colleague pretended to be dissatisfied: "I say, you guys don't take us seriously at all. You're still standing here."

Zhou Sheng laughed and said, "I know everyone has been busy with the cooperation project with Xincheng recently. How about this? As a benefit for the National Day holiday, everyone will get two free movie tickets. Bring your family or lover to relax."

"Long live Boss Zhou!"

"Boss Zhou, I love you."

"Fuck, who said love just now? Shut up and let me talk."

The elevator went down to the first floor.

Zhou Sheng was the first to step out of the elevator amid the bustle.

Xu Chao, who was following behind him, held the little one in his arms and stretched out his arms to Zhou Sheng, "Hold me, aunt."

Zhou Sheng had to hold him, so he turned around and handed the briefcase to Xu Chao, and took him over.

He walked out the door.

The people behind him looked at each other.

"Did I hear it wrong just now?"

"Right."

"You must have heard it wrong. Is Chu Qinbai really his uncle, and our President Zhou his aunt? What are you thinking? It's a fantasy, isn't it?"

"I think so too."

"Let's go, a 200 yuan bus card is too expensive, and you are worried about the marriage and love of the National People's Congress actor. You have nothing to do."

"That's right." The male colleague sighed, "I was thinking about changing jobs a year ago. If President Zhou hadn't come, I don't know where the money for my child's milk powder would come from."

"Poor worker."

"President Zhou is the eternal god."

☆ 55. Chapter 53

Chapter 53

Chu Qinbai's film "I Am Not Me" was released as scheduled during the National Day holiday. It continued to decline for several days during the long holiday, beating all the films of the same period. From the director to the behind-the-scenes to the actors, it became a hot topic during that period.

After collecting public opinions, Zhou Sheng

chose this movie as a holiday welfare movie.

But Zhou Sheng himself did not watch it.

The company has been busy with the cooperation project with Xincheng recently.

After the last Dikang incident, Liu Shengshi came to Lancheng in person and contacted Zhou Sheng.

It happened to be on the fifth day of the National Day holiday

. The location was chosen in the teahouse where Zhou Sheng first met Chu Xuming.

"Chairman Liu." Zhou Sheng put the teacup in front of him, stepped back and sat down and said, "Your coming here this time is definitely not just for reminiscing and taking a vacation, right?"

Liu Shengshi picked up the cup, smiled and kept him in suspense: "Guess."

Zhou Sheng thought for a while: "Now it's the National Day Golden Week, for the completion of the Dahuicheng Holdings project?"

"I guess so." Liu Shengshi didn't say it directly, and praised Zhou Sheng by the way: "I didn't expect you to grow so fast. When we met last time, your cooperation with Shengyu had just been reached, but now you know the overall situation of Lancheng very well."

Zhou Sheng smiled: "Chairman Liu's help is indispensable."

Looking back carefully, this road has indeed come a long way.

The first step of cooperation with Shengyu was Zhou Sheng's most important and correct choice at the time. This is a process of slowly restoring the vitality of the enterprise. The economic boost of the western project has put the company back on track step by step.

All the decisions and content made now are just to re-condense the flesh and blood.

On this steel frame, create the ability to automatically continue the cycle.

Liu Shengshi looked at the young man in front of him.

No more guessing, "This time I'm meeting you for something more important."

"You tell me."

President Liu calmly took a sip of tea, "According to the accurate information from above, Lancheng will spend about eleven figures to build a new development zone."

He blew the tea in the cup and waited for the person on the other side to show a surprised expression.

But unfortunately, Zhou Sheng didn't show much emotion.

"Aren't you surprised?" Liu Shengshi couldn't help himself.

Zhou Sheng's index finger rubbed the edge of the teacup, put it down, and smiled faintly: "As far as I know, the facilities and structures of the East and West Parks of Lancheng are very complete, but the North District has not been standardized due to its geographical location. Does the higher-ups want to form a three-legged tripod?"

Liu Shengshi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "It's really easy to talk to smart people."

"Then why did President Liu look for me?"

Liu Shengshi said meaningfully: "Zhou Sheng, you are a person with great prospects."

"President, why don't you speak frankly."

"That's all I have to say. This is a key project from above, a big piece of fat in the eyes of many developers. With the blessing of the western strategy, the manufacturing and processing industry in the entire North District of Lancheng will sooner or later be monopolized in your hands. Whether the development zone can be brought up, I don't need to say your role in it. Maybe I will have to rely on President Zhou to give me face in the future."

Zhou Sheng did not accept this pie-in-the-sky assumption.

He was not as ecstatic as Liu Shengshi thought.

Zhou Sheng just said: "I don't have the ambition to monopolize the industry in the North District."

"Then you..."

Liu Shengshi seemed to frown. Zhou Sheng has always been a big business, from cooperating with Chu Xuming to building and developing Fucheng, driving the economic lifeline of Zhou in the west. He is not a small-minded person.

People with vision and ability are all ambitious.

Zhou Sheng knew what Liu Shengshi was wondering about, and took the initiative to say: "Zhou's initial problem applies to many companies of the same type. Once they are monopolized, these small and medium-sized enterprises will really have no way to survive." Liu

Shengshi took a while to ask him: "So you want to give up this opportunity?"

"On the contrary." Zhou Sheng said: "There is not only one way to enter the development zone. The difference between a chopstick and a pair of chopsticks is not just the difference in bearing capacity. Personal economic interests are different from the interests of ten or a hundred people. I just think that using this to suppress personal gain is contrary to my original intention, but there is no other special reason."

Liu Shengshi drank the whole cup of tea silently.

Finally, he raised his eyebrows and said: "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Mr. Zhou will understand this truth."

Zhou Sheng nodded: "I respect all market rules."

Respect does not mean that you will do it.

At the current stage of Zhou's development, it is a good opportunity to expand a little bit tentatively, either to test the results or to move forward. The news that the upper level invested funds to build the development zone would be the most favorable premise.

It is a normal market for big fish to eat small fish, but when one's own people fight one's own people, in the end, there is really only the three words "ambitious".

Zhou Sheng spent most of the day in the teahouse with Liu Shengshi.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when he went out.

Liu Shengshi told him at this time that the development zone was not only looking for enterprises in advance, but the upper level mainly wanted to find representative figures to coordinate the market. After

searching for a long time, Zhou Sheng was found.

Before Liu Shengshi got into the car and left, he looked at him and said, "The upper level hopes to find someone to participate in the development of this project as a partial investor. I don't want to find a representative of the enterprise because I'm afraid of fishing in troubled waters, but Zhou Sheng, I now feel that no one is more suitable than you."

"President Liu." Zhou Sheng stood by the car and suddenly realized, "This is the main reason why you came to me this time, right?"

Liu Shengshi laughed.

"Don't blame me, I'm just a pioneer in the investigation."

Liu Shengshi finally told him, "At the latest next week, someone will come down to discuss the details with you." Then he patted him on the shoulder and said, "I said before that I might have to rely on Mr. Zhou's face in the future, and this is true. In addition, I will tell you that the higher-ups have actually been observing you for a while. What they value most is your ability and corporate value direction. You are very suitable for the representative candidate. Otherwise, do you think that I, as the president of the honorary association, really have the power to give you those resources directly? If this project is done, your name, Zhou Sheng, will be on the list of merits. Okay, let's go."

Liu Shengshi put his hands behind his back and got into the black Audi car on the side of the road.

Nearly fifty years old, all merits and fame are hidden.

At this time, Zhou Sheng remembered what Chu Qinbai said, that Liu Shengshi used to be a member of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Although he responded to the call to be transferred, he had a deep relationship with the higher-ups.

Zhou Sheng now had a sense of how deep it was.

Xu Chao had been waiting for him outside.

Seeing the car leave, he stood up.

"What does Chairman Liu want to talk to you about?"

Zhou Sheng looked at the rear of the car disappearing on the street and retracted his gaze: "I have been keeping a low profile recently."

"Did something go wrong?" Xu Chao asked worriedly.

Zhou Sheng: "No, the official has just taken some action recently. You should start drafting the callback announcement for Qian Sheng and Zhu Qin. It's about time."

Xu Chao considered: "Is it better to wait a little longer? The business over there has just stabilized."

"It's okay. There's no extra room for improvement after the base is solidified. Everything has been done in the past few months. Lancheng has a new development zone to be completed. They have other things to do, so let's call back."

Xu Chao was stunned for a moment, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

Although he has been with Brother Sheng for a long time.

But Xu Chao believes that he has not learned one-third of his skills.

Just like the development zone he just mentioned.

The first thought in his mind was that this was a big deal, but he couldn't grasp the key point in what specific aspects were important.

"Brother Sheng, shall I take you back?" Xu Chao asked.

Zhou Sheng looked at the time and said, "No, let's go to the Chu family."

"Ah? The Chu family?"

"I'm invited to Chu Jianxiong's birthday party, so I have to go."

The invitation was sent directly to the company a few days ago. He was

not invited as Chu Qinbai's marriage partner, but as the president of Lancheng Zhou. The eldest brother Chu Xuming proposed the invitation, probably because he felt that his previous identity was not suitable for such an occasion.

In any case, he still had to go.

Zhou Sheng went to a suit customization store he had been to before and chose a new suit.

A regular suit that was neither good nor bad.

Bring gifts and arrive at around four o'clock.

It was called a dinner party, but with Chu Jianxiong's status in Lancheng for so many years, people would naturally choose to come early rather than late. When

the sun moved to the middle of the west, the villa was already crowded with people.

Zhou Sheng climbed the stairs and

met Chu Xuming who was welcoming guests at the door.

"Brother." Zhou Sheng greeted him.

Chu Xuming smiled and said, "I'm here."

While speaking, he looked behind Zhou Sheng and asked him, "I called Qin Bai, and he said he would attend. Why didn't he come with you?"

"I'm not sure about this." Zhou Sheng said, "During the release of the movie, he had work all over the country, and he didn't tell me if he would be back today."

Chu Qinbai had said that he needed to report when he went out.

He would indeed tell himself where he went.

But since it was related to his father's birthday party, Zhou Sheng guessed that he didn't want to mention it to him.

Zhou Sheng asked, "Where's Nian Nian?"

Chu Xuming showed a headache expression: "The nanny is playing with him. He cried all night and wanted to find you."

Zhou Sheng said, "Okay, I'll go see him first."

Chu Xuming had someone come to the apartment to pick up the child a day ago.

Chu Annan said that the date of picking him up was postponed. It was his father's birthday, and it didn't make sense for his grandson not to meet in Lancheng. Chu Annan had no say in this matter, and Chu Qinbai would naturally ask Mrs. Zhang to release him.

Chu Xuming held Zhou Sheng.

"Wait."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Sheng asked.

Chu Xuming asked the people next to him to hold his ground for a while, then took Zhou Sheng to the side. After thinking for a while, he said, "Zhou Sheng, I have something to tell you first. Don't tell Qin Bai for now."

"Huh?"

"The old man has come up with the idea of ​​keeping Nian Nian by his side forever."

Zhou Sheng frowned, "Why?"

"I don't know if Qin Bai has told you that the relationship between Dad and An Nan has actually been deadlocked for several years. I think he wants to use Nian Nian to save this relationship. But you know Qin Bai's temper is different from An Nan's. I'm afraid that if he comes today and finds out, he will definitely have a fit on the spot. After all, it's the old man's birthday party, and I'm afraid the scene will be too ugly."

Zhou Sheng didn't expect this to happen at all.

He frowned: "Brother, this is not the way to restore a relationship. Which mother can bear to see her child become a bargaining chip, or be threatened by her own father. Besides, Nian Nian is only a few years old, this is too much."

"You can't say it's a threat." Chu Xuming looked embarrassed: "I also know that Dad is too much, I just want to get through today first, and we can talk about the rest later."

Zhou Sheng looked straight at him: "Brother, I don't say I know you, but I know what kind of person you are. Since you said that today is the first day, it proves that you can't convince Mr. Chu at all, right?"

Chu Xuming touched his face.

A trace of embarrassment was revealed.

"Zhou Sheng." He said: "I know it's a bit difficult, but I can't watch the Chu family really ruined."

The so-called secrets of the rich.

It is precisely because it is not something that can be told to outsiders.

Zhou Sheng has no desire to spy.

But from Chu Xuming's attitude, Zhou Sheng seemed to be able to see that the Chu family is also a filth.

Between father and son and father and daughter, between brothers and husband and wife.

Zhou Sheng finally shook his head: "I can only guarantee that the child's position is the main priority at the critical moment. For the rest, big brother, you know I can't do anything."

The hall was full of guests. This

was Zhou Sheng's second visit. The first time he even smashed a vase.

He asked the nanny, and when he saw Sheng Nian'an, he was being led by someone to play in the open space in the back garden.

He was sticking his butt out, shoveling mud with a small shovel.

Zhou Sheng still had some impression of the woman who was leading him.

Bai Zhi, the young woman who looked a bit like Chu Qinbai's mother.

In theory, there were no extra hostesses in this house.

Even if she was not married, she was Chu Jianxiong's only woman now, but in a public occasion like a birthday banquet, she did not greet the guests in front, but stayed in the back garden.

"Nian Nian." Zhou Sheng said.

When the little guy heard the voice, he dropped the shovel and rushed towards Zhou Sheng like a small cannonball.

Zhou Sheng squatted on the ground and let him crash into his arms.

"Woo, woo, I thought you didn't want me anymore."

Zhou Sheng picked the child up, looked at his swollen eyes, and deliberately teased him: "Why are you crying, little man? You're not cute when you cry like this."

The child didn't say a word, and put his arms around his neck again.

"Mr. Zhou." The woman came up and greeted him.

She seemed to like wearing simple and elegant clothes. Today she was wearing a white dress, and she looked like a young college student.

Zhou Sheng picked up the child and nodded at her.

Bai Zhi touched Sheng Nian'an's hair and said with a smile: "He cried for a long time, and no one could comfort him. Mr. Zhou, you have a way."

"Thanks to you for taking care of him." Zhou Sheng said.

The woman shook her head and smiled reluctantly: "He... I mean Nian Nian's grandfather doesn't like me to get close to Nian Nian. It's because he was too busy today and couldn't take care of him, so I took care of him for a while."

Sheng Nian'an hugged Zhou Sheng's neck, and he didn't know what he heard.

He said: "Grandpa is a bad man, a bad man. He doesn't let me leave, and he beats my uncle and sister."

Zhou Sheng's hand holding the child tightened slightly.

His eyebrows were completely furrowed.

He knew Chu Jianxiong had a bad temper the last time they met briefly.

Zhou Sheng looked at the woman in front of him and asked hesitantly, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay." The young woman said awkwardly: "Nian Nian misunderstood. His grandfather lost his temper with Mr. Chu last night and scared him."

Since the other party was unwilling to elaborate.

Zhou Sheng did not ask.

Bai Zhi pulled her sleeves uncomfortably and asked: "Mr. Zhou, will Brother Chu come today?"

"I heard from my eldest brother that he will come."

Bai Zhi showed a relieved expression and said: "Then Mr. Zhou, you are busy, I will leave first."

Zhou Sheng looked at the back of the woman leaving.

The child whispered in his ear: "Sister is so pitiful, she was locked in a small dark room alone, crying and crying."

Zhou Sheng patted him on the back: "Okay, don't tell anyone about this, understand?"

"Yeah." The child nodded heavily, lay back, and asked him softly: "Where is my uncle?"

Zhou Sheng was stunned, then smiled.

It seemed that the whole world was looking for him.

Zhou Sheng tilted his head and asked, "Aren't you afraid of him? Now you miss him again?"

"Will he come to pick me up?"

"Yes." Zhou Sheng said, "He won't leave Nian Nian here."

"Why? My uncle said he would throw me on the street."

"No." Zhou Sheng said, "He's like that, teasing you. He doesn't like it here either, so he will definitely come to pick you up."

"Will my uncle come to pick you up too?"

"I'm different from Nian Nian. I don't need anyone to pick me up."

The child tilted his head and played with the collar of Zhou Sheng's shirt, and said softly, "But mom said that babies have to be picked up by someone. After getting married, mom is dad's baby, and you are also uncle's baby."

Zhou Sheng laughed, "Your uncle will really beat you up if he hears."

"No way!"

☆ 56. Chapter 54

Chapter 54

The birthday banquet of the previous generation of the Chu family was naturally grand and lively.

Zhou Sheng and Sheng Nian'an did not go to the front hall until two hours later, when a servant suddenly came and said that he would take the young master to the front.

"Did he say what it was?" Zhou Sheng asked.

The servant lowered his eyebrows and said, "We servants don't know. It was the master's order."

"Where is your eldest master?"

"The eldest master is still busy greeting guests."

Unable to find Chu Xuming, Zhou Sheng couldn't feel at ease to hand a child directly to the other party. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then I will go with you, you lead the way."

Since Zhou Sheng came to the Chu family.

The child seemed to be extremely attached to him and would not let him go.

Now even if Zhou Sheng was holding him, he kept asking him where he was going.

Zhou Sheng comforted him: "It should be to celebrate your grandfather's birthday. It's okay. I'll always be by your side, okay?"

"Okay." The child didn't make a fuss.

When he was in the apartment before, he dared to hit Chu Qinbai with toys when he was unhappy. He had only been in the old house for one day and one night, but his insecurity was so obvious. He was obviously not used to this place.

The servant took the child upstairs to change clothes.

The bright red birthday clothes and a round hat made him look festive and cute.

When Zhou Sheng and his men appeared at the side door of the front hall, they saw a large circle of people standing at the main table. They were not young, and some of them were famous family elders in Lancheng.

Someone smiled and said, "Old Mr. Chu is now retired to the second line and enjoys a good life. He has a capable successor like Xuming. He is so lucky. Unlike my rebellious son, he is always out of tune and almost pissed me off."

"Who said it wasn't? Xuming is just about to get married and have a child, so that you can enjoy the happiness of family life earlier."

Chu Jianxiong was wearing a dark red Zhongshan suit, and he was not sitting in a wheelchair like when Zhou Sheng first saw him. He stood with his hands in front of him, supporting himself on crutches. His face was not cold. Facing these colleagues and opponents who had fought for a lifetime, he smiled brightly.

He said, "I'm not in a hurry for him. My grandson is so big now, and he just came back recently."

"Oh, it's Annan's child

, right?" "You said Annan was stubborn. He was unwilling to marry her at the beginning. How could a distant marriage not make people worry? Now it's hard to reunite with you, Mr. Chu, and see your daughter."

Chu Jianxiong sighed, "I only have this one daughter. In the end, she has to do it herself." Those

who came to celebrate the birthday naturally said nice things.

Even if others knew how the second daughter of the Chu family made a fuss and refused to give in,

and how cruel Chu Jianxiong was, asking bodyguards to tie her up and lock her up at home for a full half a month, no one would say these words. When he said

distant marriage, Chu Jianxiong sighed as a father.

It was as if the father-daughter gap of many years did not exist.

Someone tried to catch up with the topic and said, "Since your grandson is here, why don't you bring him out for us to see?"

"Yes, I've wanted to have a grandson for a long time, let us see him."

Chu Jianxiong nodded with a smile.

"Okay." He turned around and gave an order to the people around him, then turned back and said, "This child is really smart. I'm free now, so I plan to bring him around and train him well."

Zhou Sheng had never seen such a person.

He didn't ask for his children's consent, and he said so high-soundingly.

The servant had been waiting beside Zhou Sheng in a proper manner.

When he heard this topic, as if he had expected it, he stretched out his hand to Zhou Sheng and said, "Mr. Zhou, give me the child now. It's time to go and pay respect to the elders."

"I don't want it!" Sheng Nian'an hugged Zhou Sheng tightly and refused to let go.

The servant looked anxious.

Seeing that many people were looking at this position,

he simply stretched out his hand to grab the child from Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng was already on guard because of Chu Xuming's words. He hid to the side with the child in his arms, his brows slightly stern. "What are you doing?"

The servant was embarrassed: "Mr. Zhou."

"It's okay." Zhou Sheng calmed down and frowned, "I'll take him over. He won't let anyone else hold him now."

The servant opened his mouth, but because of Zhou Sheng's sharpness just now, he didn't dare to speak again.

Zhou Sheng took Sheng Nian'an to the main table.

"Who is this?" someone at the main table asked.

The moment Chu Jianxiong saw Zhou Sheng, his expression turned cold.

Lightly: "The young man of the Zhou family."

"Zhou family? Is it the Zhou family of Zhou Enterprise?"

"Are you Zhou Sheng?"

Zhou Sheng nodded to the middle-aged fat man who asked the question, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qi, I have heard of your name for a long time. I heard that you were invited to Mr. Jin Quansong's party before, but you seemed to be unable to attend due to personal reasons, so we have never had the chance to meet."

"Mr. Zhou is thoughtful." The big-bellied man laughed and his flesh trembled. "Even the people who didn't attend are clear."

These people were all well-known figures in Lancheng in the past. In the past six months, many people have known Zhou Sheng, and they nodded one after another.

Those who didn't know him also asked the people around them in a low voice.

But no matter what the answer they got was.

In everyone's mind, his current development momentum is not enough to be described by Chu Jianxiong's light young man.

Everyone's attention was finally moved away from Zhou Sheng.

Turning back to the protagonist.

Chu Jianxiong was extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Sheng who appeared with his grandson in his arms, and directly signaled the black-clad bodyguard behind him to take the person over.

Before Zhou Sheng said anything, the child started to make a fuss.

"Go away! Go away!"

Sheng Nian'an twisted his body and went straight to hit the bodyguard, his butt kept pushing against Zhou Sheng's arms, making Zhou Sheng almost unable to hold him. He also pursed his lips and reddened his eyes, about to cry, looking so pitiful.

Zhou Sheng guessed that he was probably scared by the bodyguard, so he was so resistant.

There was really a limit to what he could do in his position.

After all, it was Chu Jianxiong's birthday party.

He could only look at the people and say, "Niannian, say happy birthday to your grandpa, and then we will go back to the back, okay?"

The child looked at him and agreed.

But Chu Jianxiong suddenly got angry at this time.

He pounded his crutches and said sternly to the bodyguards, "One or two of you are standing to eat, can't you hold a child?"

The two bodyguards were both tall and strong.

But Zhou Sheng knew that if he let go, the child would definitely cry and make a fuss.

He took a step back.

The bodyguards had to execute the orders they received, regardless of whether Sheng Nian'an would cry or not.

The screams of the child, the persuasion of the people around, and Chu Jianxiong's unwavering orders all turned into a farce.

The eldest brother Chu Xuming rushed over and

took the child back from the bodyguard, "What are you doing?!"

Turning around, he saw another bodyguard grabbing Zhou Sheng, and his movements were a bit rough. Chu Xuming's face was ugly, and he said to Chu Jianxiong, "Dad!"

Zhou Sheng didn't expect that the old man Chu Jianxiong was so uncivilized.

At his birthday party, he actually dared to let someone grab the child.

Zhou Sheng didn't forget the key moves he had learned before.

He kicked the bodyguard's ankle with his back foot.

The bodyguard probably didn't expect him to attack suddenly, and groaned. Years of training have not relaxed the movements of his hands. Zhou Sheng frowned and didn't make any sound when he suddenly exerted force.

Then he smiled and looked at Chu Jianxiong: "Old Mr. Chu's reaction is too big. It is inevitable that children will be afraid of strangers. Can't you talk to him nicely?"

"Zhou Sheng." Chu Jianxiong said, "It's my Chu family's private affairs, you'd better not get involved."

At this time, footsteps came from the door.

"Really? Then do I deserve to get involved?"

Chu Qinbai stepped into the hall.

As soon as he came in, the scene was suddenly silent.

The stagnation at the scene was not entirely due to Chu Qinbai alone, but because he had more than a dozen bodyguards with him.

Their expressions were calm and indifferent.

Unfortunately, they did not look like they were here to celebrate the birthday.

Chu Qinbai walked forward, glanced around, and frowned when he saw Zhou Sheng was still being grabbed by someone. He turned sideways and

kicked the bodyguard directly on the knee.

It was not known whether the tip of Cheng Liang's leather shoes was too sharp or the angle was too tricky. The

nearly 1.9-meter-tall dark-skinned burly guy's knees softened and he half-knelt down on the spot. It was so exaggerated that Zhou Sheng could see the sweat on his forehead, which almost appeared instantly.

Chu Jianxiong's face turned pale: "Chu Qinbai, are you here to cause trouble with so many people?!"

"Then you must have misunderstood." Chu Qinbai turned around and said, "I heard that you were having a birthday, so I postponed my work and rushed back from other places. Unfortunately, I was blocked by fans at the airport." Then he tilted his head to signal the people behind him, and then said, "It's this bodyguard company that I work with the most. I heard that it was your birthday, so I came back with me to celebrate your birthday."

Chu Qinbai waved to the side.

Someone came forward and put several bags in his hand.

Chu Qinbai took two steps forward and put all the gift bags on the main table. He

put his palm on it, looked at Chu Jianxiong, and said slowly: "Dad, I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the South Mountain."

The scene was still silent.

Everyone probably felt incredible in their hearts, but after thinking about it, they felt it was reasonable.

Chu Qinbai is a special existence in the Chu family. He

left the Chu family when he was a teenager. He is not a person in the circle of the main table who can be brought out like his elder brother Chu Xuming to make Chu Jianxiong proud. She is not the second daughter of the Chu family who has given birth to a child. Hasn't

he caused enough trouble for Chu Jianxiong?

He forced the old man to abdicate and had a scandal with that male movie star.

Now he brought "a few" bodyguards to celebrate his father's birthday. It is more reasonable to put it on Chu's third brother. At least

in front of many guests.

The barely maintained birthday celebration continued until Chu Qinbai found the bruise on Zhou Sheng's wrist.

Zhou Sheng pulled the man who instantly turned black.

Remind: "Since you gave face, give it to the end. Think about your eldest brother."

Half an hour later, on the second floor of the old house.

Zhou Sheng sat on the sofa and looked at the room.

It was a more old-fashioned decoration in the house, like the style of ten or twenty years ago.

"Did you live here when you were a child?" Zhou Sheng asked.

Chu Qinbai sat in front of him, his suit had been taken off and thrown aside, his shirt sleeves rolled up, and his elbows rested on his knees. He hummed while pouring medicinal wine into his hand.

"Why is there not even a single photo?"

Chu Qinbai: "They were all burned."

As far as Zhou Sheng knew, Chu Qinbai probably didn't stay in this house for many years.

Why did he burn such a small photo?

But this involves privacy after all, and it is a topic that Chu Qinbai rarely wants to talk about, so Zhou Sheng didn't ask further.

The medicinal wine was rubbed in the palm of his hand to evaporate.

Chu Qinbai took his wrist and massaged it in circles with increased force.

Zhou Sheng didn't expect that his skin was so fragile. Now there was a circle of light blue, which he himself thought was a bit exaggerated.

"Just press it casually." Zhou Sheng said.

Chu Qinbai massaged him and looked up at him, "Why are you showing off? With your physical strength, you are not strong enough to be thrown down by others."

"Your father is also cruel. I think he is determined to keep the child."

Chu Qinbai sneered: "That depends on my willingness to let him keep."

Zhou Sheng couldn't figure it out: "Big brother is afraid that the birthday party will be ruined. After all, it is related to the face of the Chu family. When I came in the afternoon, he specially gave me a shot of prevention. You brought people here not because you were blocked by fans, did you know in advance?"

"I knew it last night." Chu Qinbai didn't hide it from him.

Zhou Sheng almost didn't need to think: "Bai Zhi said?"

"Yeah."

Zhou Sheng paused for a while, and still told Chu Qinbai what the child accidentally revealed.

Chu Qinbai pinched his wrist with a little more force.

Zhou Sheng frowned without saying a word.

Chu Qinbai came back to his senses: "Sorry."

He took Zhou Sheng's hand and blew on his wrist.

He did this action very casually.

Zhou Sheng was stunned on the spot.

Then he looked at him and asked tentatively: "Has your father always been like this?"

"Sitting in a high position for a long time, he completely forgot who he is." Chu Qinbai's face returned to calmness: "These things have nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it."

Then he put down Zhou Sheng's hand: "The effect of this medicinal wine is relatively slow, and then once a day in the morning and evening."

Zhou Sheng stood up.

Sniffed his wrist.

He frowned at the pungent smell.

"Where is the bathroom? I want to wash my hands." Zhou Sheng said.

Chu Qinbai took him to push open a partition door in the room and raised his chin to the inside: "Inside."

The sound of water splashing on the sink.

Zhou Sheng vaguely heard Chu Qinbai making a phone call outside.

"Enough manpower. Although the old man still has some people under his control, he won't really make this matter a big deal."

"Don't say hello to the Qu family, I'll contact Qu Ruyi."

"Check who else is in Baizhi's family, and..."

Zhou Sheng heard it intermittently.

He only roughly knew that he might be dealing with the Chu family's affairs.

It was the Qu family in Lancheng again, and Bai Zhi's again.

Zhou Sheng turned off the water, and when he went out, Chu Qinbai just hung up the phone.

He leaned against the window railing, as if a deep and depressing thing had been enveloping him since he entered the old house.

Hearing the noise, he put his hands in his pockets and looked at Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng stood for two seconds, then walked towards him.

It was dark outside the window.

Downstairs was bustling.

At this moment, looking out from the window, the lights in the large courtyard of the old house were bright, but the darkness in the distance was densely surrounding the surroundings.

Zhou Sheng stood next to him.

They looked outside together and didn't speak for a while.

Chu Qinbai suddenly said, "What are you busy with recently?"

It seemed like a topic that he thought of casually.

Zhou Sheng answered casually, "It's mainly the cooperation project with Xincheng, which is related to Zhou's capital inflow in the next quarter. In addition, I'm busy attending various business activities, meetings, and your father's birthday party, all of which are boring."

Chu Qinbai nodded.

Zhou Sheng glanced at him and continued the topic: "Do you remember Liu Shengshi?"

"I remember."

"The northern part of Lancheng is going to build an economic development zone, and I will probably participate."

Chu Qinbai looked at him and nodded: "That's good."

"Really think so?" Zhou Sheng didn't believe it. "When I first joined Zhou's, you thought I had ulterior motives, don't deny it."

"I don't deny it, but it's not right. I really think everything you have been doing is good."

Zhou Sheng felt that the three words "all good" had an inexplicable power.

As always, he did not get any unexpected reactions from Chu Qinbai.

All good, and in line with Zhou Sheng's own ideas.

All good, everything you did.

All good, step by step to today. All good

, Zhou Sheng, you really set out, and did not let yourself down, and let down this new future.

It's like reciprocity.

Zhou Sheng asked him back: "What about you? You should be busy recently."

"Yes, I'm busy listening to the flattery of various publicity organizers, busy attending celebration banquets, busy investing in projects, and busy chatting with a bunch of so-called big shots every day."

Zhou Sheng laughed.

"It sounds like you are really busy."

Zhou Sheng knew everything he was talking about, and the people and money involved must be not simple.

But after he said that, it seemed that he, a big figure in the entertainment industry who had just harvested nearly 1 billion box office and was still rising, really didn't do anything serious.

Chu Qinbai looked at him for two seconds.

He said: "But I have another more important and busy thing."

"What?"

"See you."

Zhou Sheng was pulled unexpectedly and fell into someone's chest.

Zhou Sheng was stunned by Chu Qinbai's words, and then realized that the distance was too close. He tilted his head slightly: "Chu Qinbai, you crossed the line again."

Chu Qinbai put his hand behind his waist and said lazily: "I pulled you and you said I crossed the line?"

Zhou Sheng was speechless and looked at him: "You have the ability to take your hand away."

"I don't have the ability." Chu Qinbai asked indifferently: "Your acceptance is so low, it seems that you still like pure ones?"

Zhou Sheng: "What do you mean pure and strong?"

After saying that, he felt Chu Qinbai pressing down on him, and the next second he lowered his head and kissed his shoulder. A light warm touch came through the shirt.

Zhou Sheng was stunned.

Chu Qinbai looked up after a while and looked into his eyes: "Understand?"

Maybe the feeling just now was too vague, except for the breathing and a little heat, it seemed like an illusion. Zhou Sheng was also bewitched and asked on the spot: "What about the impure ones?"

Chu Qinbai looked at him for two seconds.

He sighed and taught him a lesson: "This spirit of learning depends on what the matter is. You can't afford to play, so don't ask me nonsense."

☆ 57. Chapter 55

Chapter 55

Before the banquet was over, Chu Qinbai asked his bodyguards to take Sheng Nian'an away at night, and also sent Zhou Sheng back.

In the hall of the Chu family's old house.

The guests had already dispersed at this time. The servants

cleaned up the leftovers and all left silently.

Chu Jianxiong sat in the main seat at the top.

The eldest brother stood beside him.

Only Chu Qinbai sat casually in a chair below, completely ignoring the serious atmosphere.

Until two o'clock in the morning, the sharp ring of the landline in the living room broke the atmosphere.

The servant answered the phone and said tremblingly: "It's the second lady."

"I'll answer it." Chu Qinbai put down his knees and walked to the phone.

Chu Annan was furious and asked first: "Where is Nian Nian?"

"She was sent back to me, with Zhou Sheng." Chu Qinbai's voice was calm, "The day after tomorrow at the latest, if you don't come to pick her up, I won't care about you."

Chu Annan sounded relieved.

The voice was hoarse: "Thank you, Qin Bai."

The call was very short. Chu Annan had just received the news and called only to confirm his son's information.

Chu Qinbai had just hung up the phone when he heard the sound of a cup hitting the ground behind him.

Chu Jianxiong's eyes were gloomy. "Why do you all have to go against me like this?" Chu Qinbai turned back calmly

, straightened the hem of his clothes and said: "My eldest brother listened to you and inherited the family business. Didn't my second sister also listen to you and join the army? She was separated from her husband for many years. I just think they all listened to you enough. The child is still young. How he wants to live his life can only be decided by himself."

Chu Jianxiong's eyes were dark.

Looking at this little son, he said nothing.

"Chu Qinbai." Chu Jianxiong said, "Shengyu was hit hard because of you. More than a year has passed, and I don't think you feel guilty at all."

Chu Qinbai raised his eyebrows: "Should I feel guilty?"

Chu Jianxiong knocked the floor with his cane: "Rebellious son! Bastard!"

"Dad." Chu Qinbai smiled, "The last time we met, you were dissatisfied with my marriage, and your words were so righteous that I felt that you really cared about me. Why did you change your mind today? When you mentioned the company at this time, do you think that I should return the shares in my hands to you, or is this your real purpose?"

"Get out! Get out!"

"Just in time." Chu Qinbai said, "Now that the birthday is over, I should leave."

When Chu Qinbai turned around, his smiling expression instantly turned cold.

He fastened the button at his waist and walked out the door without looking back.

Chu Xuming chased to the door.

He stopped Chu Qinbai before he got in the car.

"Brother, is there anything else?" Chu Qinbai asked.

Chu Xuming had a serious expression, frowned slightly and said: "Qinbai, I know that Dad did a lot of things wrong. But he is old, and I was thinking, when can you and Annan come back, or call Zhou Sheng together, let's sit down as a family and talk things out."

"Nothing has not been talked about yet." Chu Qinbai said calmly: "You have been taught since childhood that responsibility is more important than anything else, I understand. But brother, ask yourself, have you never hated him? Age is not an excuse. He has always been known as a self-made man, but you know better than me what Shengyu relied on to start its business."

Chu Xuming's face froze.

Shengyu was founded because Chu Jianxiong married a good wife.

His first wife was the mother of Chu Xuming and Chu Annan, a lady from a famous family.

Relying on his wife's family, Shengyu was given the surname Chu, which made a name for himself in Lancheng.

Chu Qinbai didn't want to say more.

Patting Chu Xuming on the shoulder, he said, "You are my elder brother, and this cannot be changed. But you want the Chu family to become the harmonious and happy family you dream of. Then I can only say that you must wait until the day the old man dies."

"Qin Bai!" Chu Xuming said sternly, "That's too much."

Chu Qinbai curled his lips, "You treat him as your father, but I don't."

He got in the car and drove away.

Chu Xuming was left standing at the door of the villa after the birthday banquet, sighing.

Chu Qinbai drove himself.

He hid in the shadows, stepped on the accelerator, and kept speeding up.

Everything around him became a phantom that flashed by, but he still couldn't suppress the violent emotions in his heart.

The calmness in the banquet hall and the indifference when facing Chu Xuming.

But they were all cover-ups and disguises.

Fan Xuan's words a year ago were still in his ears, "Chu Qinbai, you dare not care about marriage, you are so cruel and leave no room for maneuver, what's the difference between you and your father!"

Many people also said.

"Third brother, the entertainment industry is just a circle. I worked with Teacher Qin Ruo in my childhood and was always taken care of by her. You are my dear third brother."

"The entertainment industry is so magical. No matter who you are, you have several faces. After pretending for a long time, even you forget what you really look like." He

thought of being three or four years old.

The bedroom he used to live in seemed to have been enlarged several times.

Who was crying next door?

He grabbed a knife from the fruit plate. He

pushed open the door and walked out to the side.

The strange woman knelt on the ground, crying hoarsely.

He took the knife and stabbed the man sitting near the door without thinking.

The man grabbed his hand, picked him up and laughed.

Someone on the opposite side said: "Jianxiong, this son is the most like you, cruel."

"Yes." Mingming's father's palm touched his head like a maggot on the tarsal bone, making people disgusted. His big hand clamped his waist and said: "Boy, let me teach you a lesson. If you reach out to others before your claws are sharp, you will end up like her, understand?"

The knife was thrown on the coffee table.

The woman was dragged on the ground by the bodyguard.

and dragged him out of the door.

His mother rushed in at this time and grabbed him back into her arms.

Chu Qinbai could feel the body hugging him trembling, and heard her crying, "Chu Jianxiong, you will go to hell!"

The man came over to hug them, saying over and over again, "Ruoruo, you really misunderstood, I only love you."

The impression of his mother has become very faint.

The few memories left are not as bright and beautiful as the photos displayed in the living room of his grandparents' house.

She was always thin.

Broken.

She cried again and again when she hugged him.

Among all the comments about him, Chu Qinbai believed that one thing was right.

He is like Chu Jianxiong.

His blood flows in his body. He is the product of his deceiving a woman with a clean background and who is too well protected by his family.

His dirty deeds, those shameful cruelties.

But he did not hide them from his son.

He thought he would train this smartest and most valued son to become a qualified successor to the Hao family business.

He would be as ambitious and arrogant as him.

Little did he know that what he left behind was just the legendary beast that would eat its father.

The same genes do not produce two different people. Chu Jianxiong's regret should have reached its peak a year ago.

Chu Qinbai was driving the car, with sarcasm and disdain in his eyes.

The mobile phone on the passenger seat rang.

"What's going on?" Liang Bin asked.

Chu Qinbai: "Drive."

"I stayed up all night, and you were out racing at night? Are you upset?"

Chu Qinbai: "I'm fine, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Do you still have the attitude of asking for help?" Liang Bin and he have known each other for many years. Before he married Fan Xuan, they had a brief meeting. He said, "I don't go home to hug my wife at night, but play your song. You treat me like this."

Chu Qinbai paused, "Found it?"

"I guess... right."

"What do you mean?"

Liang Bin might have stayed up all night and smoked. He said, "I'm recently working on a single to commemorate the 50th anniversary of an old singer's debut. I found a group of old songs collected a long time ago. The melody of one of them is quite similar to the one you sent me. Wait a minute, I'll send it to you."

Chu Qinbai casually turned on the car stereo.

A very slow and leisurely music came out from it, followed by the magnetic and hoarse singing of a female singer.

Maybe it's been too long, the sound quality is not very good, and it is occasionally accompanied by a buzzing sound.

Liang Bin: "It sounds completely different, but the part about 50 seconds in the background is actually quite similar. But you can also hear that it has been adapted."

"What year is this song from?"

"It's about the 1950s. It's not well-known and rarely sung. Now, except for some old phonograph record collections, it's hard to find. But the part you sent me should be a vowel melody. If you go back further, it should be left over from the Republic of China period. It's impossible to verify who it came from."

Chu Qinbai looked at the front of the car and hummed. It

's common to know an old song. Even if the music industry doesn't know it, there are so many people in the country. It's not surprising that someone knows it and it's passed down.

But instinctively, he still knows that Zhou Sheng has some secrets.

Liang Bin: "Speaking of which, why are you so interested in a song?"

Chu Qinbai: "You think it's nice, isn't it?"

"Okay, okay, what can't you, Brother Chu, do? I'll hang up if you're fine."

"Yeah."

The music in the car continued.

The female singer's voice condition is average, and the song is also average.

Chu Qinbai couldn't find the slightest feeling of Zhou Sheng playing the harmonica, so he listened for two seconds and turned it off.

When he returned to the apartment in the city center, it was almost three o'clock.

At this time, the world was quiet.

He opened the door and unexpectedly saw a small light on in the living room.

"Are you back?" The person on the sofa was holding a book in his hand, with a blanket half-draped over his legs, giving people a comfortable and lingering sense of warmth.

The look and tone he gave him when he looked at him were so natural.

It seemed like he was really waiting for someone to come home.

Chu Qinbai stood at the door with a cold wind all over his body.

After two seconds, he hummed, took off his coat and hung it on the rack, and asked him, "Why haven't you slept yet?" "Nian

Nian made a fuss. I guess she was scared and fell asleep not long ago."

"Sleeping in your room again?"

"Yeah."

Chu Qinbai walked to the sofa and looked at the person on the sofa, "Then sleep with me tonight?" By the way, he found a reason for him, "Otherwise, you will wake him up again when you go in."

Zhou Sheng hesitated for two seconds, and nodded when he thought of the child waking up before.

Half an hour later, Zhou Sheng lay flat on Chu Qinbai's bed.

The decoration style of his room was much colder than his own. The bedding was black and blue, and it was stained with Chu Qinbai's unique scent.

Zhou Sheng didn't feel sleepy.

He knew Chu Qinbai must have not slept either.

Zhou Sheng asked him, "After we left, did you quarrel with your father?"

"There was nothing to quarrel with him." Chu Qinbai answered quickly.

"But I think you are in a worse mood than when the dinner started."

From the moment Chu Qinbai entered the door, Zhou Sheng noticed the coldness and hostility in him. Although he seemed to have almost dissipated on the way, Zhou Sheng could still detect it.

Zhou Sheng thought of the last time he went to the old house for dinner. It was called dinner, but he sat down for less than two minutes.

This time, let alone.

Zhou Sheng thought of Zhou Qincong and comforted him, "Although I don't know what your situation is, there are no perfect parents in this world. People have to learn to reconcile with themselves." After

Zhou Sheng finished speaking, he felt the person beside him move.

He turned around and saw Chu Qinbai propped up.

Zhou Sheng had a very ideal father-son relationship.

Although they were only together for a dozen years, his father shaped his personality, taught him backbone and ideals, told him the truth of being a man and pointed him in the right direction.

Zhou Qicong was not such a person.

Chu Jianxiong was even less so.

Zhou Sheng just felt a little sorry for Chu Qinbai.

He lost his mother early and had a bad relationship with his father.

He paused and simply reached out and patted Chu Qinbai on the head: "Let me comfort you. Are you feeling better?"

The remaining emotions in Chu Qinbai were all suppressed because of Zhou Sheng's actions, and in the darkness, they turned into another unknown danger.

"Zhou Sheng." Chu Qinbai's voice was tense in the middle of the night, "I think I need an explanation from you."

"What?"

"What role do I play in your eyes?"

Zhou Sheng felt the feeling of being locked in someone's eyes again.

Especially in a place like the bed, the feeling becomes very subtle.

For the first time in Zhou Sheng's history, he had the obvious idea of ​​escaping.

He said dryly, "Junior."

"Junior?!" Chu Qinbai seemed to have heard nonsense and was so angry that he didn't know what to do. He turned Zhou Sheng's shoulder and gritted his teeth: "You feel sorry for me, so you volunteered to be my father?"

Zhou Sheng shook his head and told the truth: "I can indeed be your elder."

"Don't preach to me!"

Chu Qinbai was so angry that he thought Zhou Sheng was talking about the preaching elder role that he had just taught him that people should learn to reconcile with themselves.

After all, Zhou Sheng had scolded him for being childish.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chu Qinbai pressed down two inches.

His beautifully trained body, through the thin pajamas, still made Zhou Sheng feel obviously oppressed.

Chu Qinbai didn't let him hide.

He sneered: "You want to be my father after getting into my bed. You are good at raising your seniority."

"Then what do you want?" Zhou Sheng was helpless.

Chu Qinbai: "You asked me to chase you."

"Ah?" Zhou Sheng misunderstood and was shocked: "I'm right here, why are you chasing me?"

Chu Qinbai was so angry that he laughed, "Maybe it's because you have Jizhi Syrup."

Zhou Sheng shut up.

I don't know what this is.

After Chu Qinbai spoke, Zhou Sheng realized that the pursuit he mentioned was not the same as the pursuit he understood.

It was because he realized that he blushed.

Zhou Sheng turned his back to him and blocked his way with one sentence.

"Don't chase me."

Chu Qinbai didn't intend to give up tonight. He received the call from Liang Bin, which made him feel powerless in front of Zhou Sheng. Now he turned him back and pressed his shoulders, "I have been chasing you for so long, so you didn't realize it at all if I didn't tell you clearly, right? Give me a reason not to chase you."

Zhou Sheng was aware of it.

It's just that feelings were not in the plan at all.

Zhou Sheng was thankful that the dark night did not see his embarrassment, so he had to say: "We are already married."

"So?"

"It's meaningless."

"You think it's meaningless?" Chu Qinbai's mood has now calmed down. He lay on his side, supporting his head, and his left hand seemed to be carelessly combing Zhou Sheng's hair. "You mean I don't have to chase you, just say I like you, and I can skip the steps and hug you and kiss you, or even..."

Zhou Sheng couldn't accept such a direct confession all of a sudden.

Chu Qinbai said he wanted to chase him and said he liked him.

He said it directly, and Zhou Sheng couldn't pretend he didn't hear it anymore.

"Shut up." Zhou Sheng had to interrupt.

Chu Qinbai hummed with a nasal sound, and then: "So you agreed."

"I didn't."

"You did."

"Chu Qinbai." Zhou Sheng looked at him sideways: "Don't be a rogue."

"But what can I do." Chu Qinbai said: "You are lying on my bed now, and I not only want to be a rogue, but also a hooligan."

Zhou Sheng suddenly felt that he couldn't sleep this sleep.

He lifted the quilt and was about to get up.

The next second, someone pushed him back with the blanket.

Zhou Sheng was wrapped up in a mess, and his mind was also in a mess.

Only his head was exposed and glared at him: "Chu Qinbai, look at me, I'm going to be angry."

Chu Qinbai circled the man and looked down at him: "Are you going to bite me?"

Zhou Sheng looked at him for two seconds, reached out and hit him with his head.

The next moment, someone pressed his forehead down.

"You are quite fierce." Chu Qinbai looked at the face under his hand, suppressed his voice hoarsely: "Mr. Zhou, where is your civility. Little wild dog."

☆ 58. Chapter 56

Chapter 56

Zhou Sheng's face suddenly felt hot.

He felt like he was being scolded, and he also had an indescribable sense of shame.

That kind of shame was no less than when he was a child, he was already sensible, but his mother took off his outer pants to wash his dirty pants, and he ran barelegged in front of a group of adults and was laughed at.

"Talk nonsense again!" Zhou Sheng forced himself to glare at Chu Qinbai.

"When did I talk nonsense? What did I say?"

"You..."

Zhou Sheng shut up in time.

He really couldn't say that word.

Chu Qinbai chuckled: "You are a little wild dog? That's not quite right."

"You are the dog." Zhou Sheng scolded him.

He had never scolded anyone so bluntly and rudely, and now on Chu Qinbai's bed, all his decency and politeness were really lost.

Chu Qinbai seemed to think that this was enough.

If he continued, he would really annoy people.

Stop in time, lie back, wrap him tightly, "Okay, stop making trouble. If you don't sleep, will you be able to get up tomorrow?"

Zhou Sheng was confused by this abrupt change of subject.

They seemed to have had a quarrel, but it didn't seem like that. He seemed to have won the quarrel, but it also seemed like he didn't.

In short, he was not very comfortable.

Zhou Sheng stared at the ceiling for a while, and he couldn't get angry anymore.

He was not the kind of person who would not let go of a matter. In addition, when he moved, he found that Chu Qinbai's legs were pressing on the quilt on this side, making it impossible for him to break free. It seemed even more strange

to say that he wanted to go back to sleep at this time. So he just kept quiet. Zhou Sheng's mood was more complicated than ever before, and he forgot how he fell asleep in a daze. Because he went to bed very late, his dream was full of bizarre scenes. What exactly did he dream about and who he met in the dream were all so confusing that he couldn't remember. When he opened his eyes the next day and saw the unfamiliar room environment, he remembered that he slept next to Chu Qinbai last night. It was already bright outside, but I still felt a little lazy and tired. It was true that sleeping late was not a good idea. The seat next to me was empty. Zhou Sheng remembered that he had an appointment to discuss something this afternoon. He lay down for half a minute and sat up. He walked out of the room while rubbing his forehead. The moment he saw the situation in the living room clearly, he was stunned for a moment and quickly retreated. There were many people sitting in the living room. This was the only impression Zhou Sheng had. It seemed that Chu Qinbai's assistant and the people in the team were all there. There was also a man and a woman whom Zhou Sheng had never seen before. The people outside also looked at each other in bewilderment. Chen Dengdeng murmured: "We scared Mr. Zhou." "I don't think so. He probably thought it was impolite to meet outsiders in disheveled clothes." "He was obviously startled. He didn't know that Brother Chu had a schedule today." He was really used to seeing Zhou Sheng's decent appearance. The way he just came out in a dark silk pajamas, with a tired face and his hair tilted up, was quite shocking. And he lived in Brother Chu's room! This is the common, unspoken thought in everyone's mind. On the other side of the living room. Chu Annan looked at the door that was closed again. He turned his head to look at Chu Qinbai: "Was that Zhou Sheng just now?" "Yeah." Chu Qinbai retracted his gaze and responded. Chu Annan has a very capable appearance. She has short hair, doesn't like to smile, and her facial features are also delicate when you look closely, but she is tall and thin, and has a sense of being resolute and vigorous. She obviously didn't expect Zhou Sheng to be such a person. With surprise between her eyebrows, she said to Chu Qinbai: "You have seen too many wild and bright types in the entertainment industry, so you like Zhou Sheng, who is introverted?" Chu Qinbai pressed his phone and said calmly: "Who told you he is introverted?" Hearing the word "like", he almost bit someone. Probably not many people are lucky enough to see this side of him. Chu Annan rolled his eyes on the spot, "Can't you show off without being so obvious?" Chu Qinbai was too lazy to reply to her and replied to Zhou Sheng's message. Zhou Sheng: "What's going on outside?" Chu Qinbai: "I have work to do today, so I'm in a hurry, so the team came directly to my house. And Chu Annan and Sheng Chuan came to pick up their son early in the morning." Zhou Sheng: "Are your second sister and the others back?" Chu Qinbai: "Yeah. Not coming out?" Zhou Sheng: "How can I go out in my pajamas? I just went into the wrong room, and I don't have any clothes." Chu Qinbai looked at the phone and raised his eyebrows: "Wear mine? Get it from the closet." Zhou Sheng disagreed: "Your clothes are too big, I want to wear mine." Chu Qinbai's clothes are all branded clothes. And the size is not suitable for Zhou Sheng. If he really wears it out, people will see it at a glance. Chu Qinbai obviously doesn't intend to remind him. You are in his room now, and you come out and lock yourself back in. This kind of cover-up will only make people more imaginative. Chu Qinbai continued to send him: "You are so picky. What do you want?" Zhou Sheng: "Can you go to my room to get me a set?" He was very polite and added in advance: "Thank you." Chu Qinbai: "Please me." There was no movement on the other end of the phone. About half a minute later, a very cute long-eared rabbit animated picture appeared, holding a carrot and bowing deeply. The text of the emoticon package read: Please, boss. Chu Qinbai looked at the rabbit and bit the inner wall of his mouth on his cheek. He thought of when Zhou Sheng just moved into Donghu. One night, he came back from outside with the rabbit balloon in his hand. He was not arrogant in front of others, but behind the scenes, he was a Mr. Zhou who liked rabbits. Chu Qinbai looked at it for a long time. He typed slowly: "Wait." Zhou Sheng heard the knock on the door and opened the door slightly. Chu Qinbai squeezed in through the crack of the door and handed over the clothes and pants in his hand. Zhou Sheng took it: "Thank you." Chu Qinbai stood still. Zhou Sheng looked at him, "Thank you. You can leave now." Chu Qinbai: "Throw it away after use, the new ungrateful Mr. Zhou?" Zhou Sheng was unhappy and frowned: "Chu Qinbai, you scolded me for the second time today." "Why don't I remember scolding you?" "Once in the early morning, and once now." Zhou Sheng listed his crimes and warned him: "If you do this again next time, I won't be polite." Chu Qinbai smiled and nodded. "Okay."

Then he suddenly reached out and brushed Zhou Sheng's hair that was sticking up, "But next time you threaten someone, remember not to do it when you just got up, and don't give people rabbits while saying you're not polite."

Zhou Sheng dodged and frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Because there is a big bad wolf, and it eats people like you."

Chu Qinbai opened the door and went out.

Zhou Sheng didn't know what Chu Qinbai was talking about until he entered the bathroom and saw his appearance. He

only sent emoticons because of the work environment.

He saw that everyone seemed to be using them, so he used them too, without thinking too much.

The focus is on the person in the mirror now.

Although he hasn't taken good care of his body now, compared to the pale and thin appearance when he was just discharged from the hospital, he is now considered normal. Even compared to his previous life, there is no other difference except that he is a little thinner.

Maybe it's because he just got up, even though his eyebrows and eyes are tired, his face is slightly red.

His hair is messy, and there are two sticking up.

The clothes on his body are also half-buttoned.

Zhou Sheng can't believe that he just went out like this.

Since coming to Modern, Zhou Sheng has continued many old habits.

When he took over the Zhou family business, whether he was going out to discuss cooperation or meeting guests at home,

he had never done this before.

This was simply a challenge for him.

Zhou Sheng attributed this to the fact that Chu Qinbai was angry with him last night.

Fortunately, this was a small matter after all.

As long as you suppress the unnaturalness of the habit, you can easily forget and face it.

When Zhou Sheng walked out of the room again,

he returned to his usual appearance.

"Morning, Mr. Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou, I brought breakfast. It's on the table. You can eat some."

Sure enough, everything was the same.

Zhou Sheng nodded: "Okay, thank you for your trouble."

Chu Qinbai was discussing the process with the team.

Chu Annan and Sheng Chuan came to Zhou Sheng to thank him.

"We heard that you have been taking good care of Nian Nian these days." Chu Annan is not the kind of person who talks a lot, and you can see that he is very sincere, "Thank you."

"Don't be so polite." Zhou Sheng said: "Nian Nian is very well behaved, I like him very much." Chu

Annan smiled when talking about his son: "He woke up once in the morning and asked where you were as soon as he opened his eyes. I can see that he likes you very much too. I am Chu Qinbai's second sister, and I won't say polite words to you. No matter what my father's attitude is, I will treat you as my own person."

This is telling Zhou Sheng her attitude.

Zhou Sheng has a natural filter for being Chu Annan's profession.

He couldn't imagine what kind of person the second sister of the Chu family was before, but now that he has seen her, he feels that this is how it should be. In her, Zhou Sheng saw the most prominent characteristics of women in the new era.

Resisting the father who tried to arrange a marriage.

Sticking to a very hard industry.

Not weak, having opinions, ideas, and perseverance.

Zhou Sheng has seen hanging vines like his cousin who depend on her husband's family to live, and he has also seen Ye Hai Yingxing, Bai Mei, who died in a spectacular way like the flaming rose.

There are thousands of different looks and postures, but due to the times, they all live very hard.

In today's society, no matter what your identity or background is, Zhou Sheng feels good as long as you live the way you want to live.

Zhou Sheng smiled at her: "I understand."

After a simple greeting, Chu Annan went to deal with his son's affairs.

Sheng Chuan did not leave. He and Chu Annan had two completely opposite personalities. He was very elegant, with a friendly smile and glasses. When shaking hands, Zhou Sheng could feel the dryness of the other party's palm as a doctor.

Sheng Chuan looked at him and asked: "I heard from Qin Bai that you are not in good health. Judging from the superficial characteristics, your spleen and stomach are indeed not small. How much medicine do you take now?"

Zhou Sheng thought this was the habit of doctors.

When they meet, they first observe, smell, ask and feel.

Zhou Sheng smiled and said: "I am gradually reducing the dosage. I don't eat much now."

"Medicine is three-point poison. It is indeed not suitable for long-term use. In your case, you still need to rely on care and avoid fatigue, otherwise a headache or fever will be a big burden for you."

Zhou Sheng was not sure why the other party seemed to know his body very well.

Zhou Sheng asked because he was confused.

Sheng Chuan was surprised: "Don't you know that Qin Bai gave me your previous hospitalization medical records? He is very concerned about your physical condition."

Zhou Sheng was stunned for a moment, "I really don't know this."

Chu Qinbai had tested him.

Zhou Sheng guessed that he should have checked himself.

But he really didn't know about this.

Sheng Chuan: "Let's put it this way. I will be transferred back to the tertiary army hospital in Lancheng around the end of this year. When you come, I will give you a detailed examination."

Zhou Sheng was surprised: "Transferred back to Lancheng?"

"Yes." Sheng Chuan nodded: "In fact, it was mainly because Annan had a job transfer, so I applied for it. This time, I sent Nian Nian back to Lancheng because we just couldn't get away."

Zhou Sheng agreed: "Okay, I will go to the hospital to find you then."

"Let Qinbai accompany you." Sheng Chuan smiled and said: "I think he should pay more attention to it than you do." Zhou Sheng

shook his head and didn't respond to this.

There has always been a scale between him and Chu Qinbai.

Now he suddenly crossed the middle line, Zhou Sheng felt like he was standing at one end of the scale, and if he was not careful, Chu Qinbai would force him to fall down with him.

There was a voice in his heart that kept reminding himself.

He couldn't really fall down.

Falling down meant the unknown, meant deception.

He was a man with a past, hiding unspeakable secrets. He occupied the identity of Zhou Sheng in this era, and with an old-fashioned soul, he completed what he wanted to achieve. He was destined to be unable to be truly honest with another person, without any secrets. This was not fair, nor was it beautiful. He

decided early in the morning to do only what he wanted to do, and maintain the firm idea when he first woke up.

He had no intention of breaking all this.

After breakfast.

Nian Nian was taken away by his parents.

Before leaving, he reluctantly hugged his uncle.

In a baby voice: "Uncle, Shengsheng said that you still love me very much, so I will like you more in the future."

Everyone except Chu Qinbai laughed.

Chu Qinbai hit him as usual: "If you like me less, the house will be flooded with your crying. If you stay for two more days, I will ask your parents for mental damage compensation."

Even if the child didn't understand, he

knew that Chu Qinbai didn't say anything good. He

turned to Zhou Sheng for comfort.

He didn't call Zhou Sheng aunt anymore, but Shengsheng.

When they really said goodbye, he kissed Zhou Sheng and looked at him with a pouty mouth, as if he was about to cry, which made Zhou Sheng's heart soften.

People are emotional animals.

When you spend a long time together, you will develop feelings, and you will be reluctant to let go.

This morning was like a grand event.

The family of three left.

The house was still bustling.

Zhou Sheng answered Xu Chao's call at the door. The afternoon meeting was moved up to 10 am due to time reasons. When

Zhou Sheng went back in, he saw that it was like a war inside.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's been delayed for an hour."

"Deng Deng! Where are the other two sets of clothes?"

"Sister, what should I do? The photographer we agreed to come can't come."

"Contact someone else immediately!"

Zhou Sheng was in a trance and accidentally entered the backstage of some TV station.

Looking at the busyness and real state of a high-speed industry.

Chu Qinbai was the only one sitting on the sofa.

He supported his knees with his elbows and browsed the tablet.

His hair and clothes were done, as if he was going to walk on the red carpet at any time.

Zhou Sheng walked around the debris on the ground and passed in front of him.

The person who was clearly looking down seemed to have eyes on his head. He stretched out

his long legs to stop him.

"Where are you going?" He stood up, put the tablet aside and asked him.

Zhou Sheng looked down at his legs in front of him, then sideways at him, "Get your things, go to work."

Chu Qinbai: "Wait a minute. I'll take you there."

Zhou Sheng looked at the busy situation in the living room.

He looked at him again and criticized: "Not doing your job properly."

Chu Qinbai raised his eyebrows: "I just said that it's the first day of pursuing someone. If I don't take you there, you should call me a scumbag, right?"

"Scum?" Zhou Sheng asked: "What is a scum?"

The busy voices behind him suddenly stopped.

"Boss Zhou, scum is the abbreviation of scumbag."

"Men are like sugarcane, very sweet when you first chew it, but only scum is left after that."

"Not proactive, not refusing, not responsible."

"Fawning, playing with feelings." "

Flirtatious."

"Yes, scumbag."

Chu Qinbai's face turned black.

A group of staff members turned their heads quickly.

"Hey, um, what, Sister Liu, we need to find a master to repair the toilet in our new office."

"Brother Lu, has the car arrived? We'll be down soon."

...

Zhou Sheng was shocked by the consistent actions of this group of people.

Just now, they were all busy with their own things, but they were still paying attention to what they said.

Now those who want to make calls are making calls, and those who want to find someone are looking for someone.

Zhou Sheng shook his head when he saw the extent of trying to cover up the truth.

"The art circle is indeed very artistic." Zhou Sheng said.

Chu Qinbai looked back at him and said indifferently: "Do you want to experience it too?"

Zhou Sheng kicked his foot that was blocking his way: "No. Besides, I think about it, compared to sending it to me, I should be more used to your scumbag."

Chu Qinbai was so angry that he laughed and nodded: "Such a request is really hard for a man to refuse."

Zhou Sheng went out.

Everyone behind the door was as cautious as quails.

"Who was the first to talk nonsense just now?"

"It wasn't me anyway."

"I'm starting to not understand."

"Is Brother Chu happy or unhappy?"

"Don't look at him laughing. Have you heard of honey on the edge of a knife? The honey will only be given to President Zhou, because he can't bear to give it up. But I promise that if any of you ask, you are tired of living."

Chapter 57

Qian Sheng and Zhu Qin and others handed over the work in Fucheng. When Yingqi was transferred back to Lancheng, it was indeed as Liu Shengshi said that the news that Lancheng North District was going to build an economic development zone had spread throughout the circle. On

Monday morning, in the office building of the president of Zhou Enterprise,

new news spread quietly.

"I heard that President Zhou is going to step down?"

"Old President Zhou has been in a semi-retired state. Whether to step down or not is just a matter of formality."

"I'm talking about the current, the current President Zhou."

"Why?!"

"Don't you know? The North District is going to build a new industrial highland. President Zhou personally led the team to participate in the project as an investor."

"What does this have to do with stepping down?"

"There are too many things that require overall decision-making for the president's affairs. Many people are guessing that President Zhou is going to step down as president and only serve as a project manager."

"How is it possible? It's a rumor. People have asked for confirmation from old President Zhou, saying it's nonsense."

"That's right, a god like President Zhou can definitely take care of both."

Zhou Sheng didn't know that after so much time, he probably had three heads and six arms in the eyes of others.

No one has ever seen him panicking. No matter how urgent the matter is, no matter how big the dilemma is, as long as he is there, it seems that everything can be sorted out, digested and solved bit by bit. It

is true that he participated in the project, but it is indeed false that he resigned from the position of president.

Maybe this is too much like something he can do.

That's why there are such voices.

In the conference room on the top floor,

there are a total of twelve people sitting.

Everyone is looking at Zhou Sheng who is sitting in the president's position.

Zhou Sheng clasped his hands on the long dark wooden desk. Although he has a young face, everyone looks at him with trust and obedience.

Zhou Sheng looked around and slowly said, "The average age of the twelve people present here today, including me, is no more than 35 years old. You are the backbone of the company and the future of Zhou. I believe everyone has heard about the construction of the North District Economic Development Zone. The promotion of the manufacturing industry here is the focus. There are as many as 24 projects of this type alone. It is expected that the investment growth rate will reach more than 36% next year. You have been in the industry for some time, so please tell me what you think."

"We must first scan and screen key projects. For example, Jinyuan and Yingqi are key targets that play a supporting and driving role."

"I think we must first concentrate our advantageous resources, act quickly and start early."

...

Zhou Sheng listened to the opinions and suggestions of all parties.

Finally, he said, "I have understood your ideas. As for the next step, I will officially launch the "Wangjiangcheng" plan. First of all, the reason why it is called this name has nothing to do with real estate and rivers."

The people below began to laugh.

"Mr. Zhou, this name sounds very real estate."

"I think it's very good."

Zhou Sheng said, "The meaning of the name is very simple. I hope that North District Jiangdu will become a reality smoothly. North District is not only to create a new industrial highland, but also a demonstration zone for the future manufacturing industry. Our strength may not be that great, but we are at the key of the industry. At present, the team plans to appoint the twelve of you to important positions, Qian Sheng as the team leader, and Zhu Qin as the deputy team leader. They have rich experience in organizing and leading during their time in Fucheng. You can ask them if you have any questions. If there are any more problems, we will discuss and solve them in a meeting. I will follow up the whole process. Come on, everyone, the hard battle has just begun."

It was already eleven o'clock after the meeting.

Zhu Qin and Qian Sheng stayed.

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhou Sheng said, "I didn't even give you a holiday when you just came back."

"Boss Zhou, that's too polite."

"Who are we? We will never say a word if you give us an order."

Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "You have just made achievements in Fucheng, and now you are asked to come back and be the team leader of a project team. Especially Qian Sheng, this is not even bigger than your previous title in the project department, and it's starting from scratch. Do you really have any objections?"

At this time, the secretary came in to refill the coffee.

Zhou Sheng's secretarial team has been used by Zhou Qicong's previous team and has not been replaced. The one

who came in now is Tang Mi.

She is the niece of Zhou Qicong's first secretary. She came in right after graduating from college, and it has been less than two years.

She also has a sweet appearance and good ability.

But Zhou Sheng rarely brings her to some occasions where he needs to bring a female companion.

"Boss Zhou." Tang Mi handed over the cup: "Your coffee."

Zhou Sheng raised his hand to the opposite side: "Pour them first."

Tang Mi said softly: "Okay."

This is the reason.

Tang Mi still has some innocence of being young and does not know how to hide.

Zhou Sheng was also helpless.

He had never faced such an obvious affection from a girl.

Zhou Qicong and the old secretary had a common struggle. She told him that Tang Mi had a clean background and was experienced, and was a good candidate for secretary. Except for being particularly attentive to Zhou Sheng and speaking differently, everything else was good.

When Zhou Sheng first took over as president.

Many things were indeed thanks to the secretary who often followed Zhou Qicong.

But this does not mean that Zhou Sheng can get used to this kind of kindness. If he did it too much, he would feel it was inappropriate.

But he could really feel that he was blind.

In order to avoid embarrassment, he could only use it as little as possible.

Qian Sheng and Zhu Qin kept holding back their laughter in the back.

Their relationship with Zhou Sheng was no better than that of ordinary people.

When they went to Fucheng, they were the ones who signed the military order and voluntarily followed Zhou Sheng to open up the market. It can be said that they were the first batch of heroes around Zhou Sheng.

And Zhu Qin had met Chu Qinbai when he was in Linshun County.

Although he didn't know that President Zhou was married, he knew that he would never like his secretary.

As soon as Tang Mi left.

Zhu Qin smiled and said, "Boss Zhou, Secretary Tang is the target of many male colleagues in the company, but I think she has a very good vision."

"Indeed." Qian Sheng nodded seriously.

Zhou Sheng gave them a look that said, "She is relatively young among the secretaries, and she is indeed capable. If she can stick to this project now, she will be a very outstanding professional in the future. Okay, let's talk business." The two of them became serious.

Qian

Sheng said, "Although the "Wangjiangcheng" plan is only a prototype at present, in general, if we don't pay for it ourselves, even if the cake is divided equally, it can still support a large group of people."

"That's right, what's wrong with the team leader?" Zhu Qin hadn't seen him for a few months. He was thinner and darker. When he smiled, his double chin was much smaller. He showed a mouthful of white teeth and said, "Boss Zhou, we still have some knowledge. You don't have to worry about it. What is the concept of this project? If we can't even figure out this matter, we should stop doing it as soon as possible."

They did not follow Zhou Sheng to open up a new path as they had thought before, and directly promoted to important positions when they returned to Lancheng.

But as long as your eyes are not blind and your heart is not blind.

Just know that it will be one year, or two years, or even longer.

When others mention the leader of the "Wangjiangcheng" project team, what will he look like?

Zhou Sheng nodded: "We have been working together for more than a day or two, so I will speak directly about some things. This is different from the time in Fucheng. What you will face next is not just the dozen people in the team. As the project progresses, you will face disagreements, changes in official policies at any time, coordination among all parties, and other difficulties..."

Qian Sheng is a very experienced and mature person. He

will get to the point in the meeting.

Brother Zhu is still a good joker like before. Zhou Sheng believes that he will be able to perform to the utmost in coordination work.

Zhou Sheng forgot the time when he talked about business.

It was past lunch time before he asked the secretary to prepare lunch.

Zhou Sheng finished his work, stood up and said to them: "The company originally had a team-building activity, but this time it was specially changed to your welcome party, which will be tomorrow night. After returning from Fucheng, Xu Chao has been saying that he wants to get together with you. Go and relax, and then we will be busy again." "

Mr. Zhou, are you coming?"

"Yes, let's go together. It's been a long time since we had a meal together."

Zhou Sheng didn't plan to go.

Because the project started, he was the busiest.

There were so many things waiting to be dealt with that he had planned to live in the company recently.

But the next day after work, he was still forced to go.

Zhou Sheng basically didn't participate in such occasions as team-building welcome parties.

First, he was afraid that the employees would feel uncomfortable seeing him, and second, he was not used to such a lively atmosphere.

But after going there, Zhou Sheng found that he had thought too much.

They took off their professional suits in the company.

They all looked completely different.

They were all crazy.

The venue was chosen to be a very distinctive barbecue restaurant, which was the rooftop of a second-floor building.

Zhou Sheng raised his hand to open the colorful lights hanging in front of the door. As soon as he stepped out, he was sprayed with colored paper and ribbons.

Zhou Sheng paused, and Xu Chao behind him was also dumbfounded.

But the group of people in front of him were still dancing wildly.

Zhu Qin and others were also among them.

Screaming: "Boss Zhou, surprise!"

"Come on, this is the first time Boss Zhou has attended our party. Let's take a picture together!"

"Boss Zhou is the most handsome, eggplant!"

Zhou Sheng was wearing a few small colored papers, and before he could react, he took a photo with a group of people.

After the group dispersed, someone laughed and scolded: "Can you guys be normal!"

"It's to celebrate! Our Boss Zhou won such a big project in Lancheng in such a short time. Isn't it worth celebrating?"

"Boss Zhou is awesome! Boss Zhou, come and sit down!"

"One drink, one drink."

"Brother Sheng." Xu Chao was behind him, afraid that he couldn't stand this atmosphere.

Zhou Sheng reacted and smiled: "It's okay."

He took off his coat, unbuttoned his collar and cuffs that were always buttoned tightly, and walked over to sit on a long bench.

He smiled and said, "I remember this wasn't a welcome party for Qian Sheng and Zhu Qin? How did it become a welcome party for me?"

Someone said disdainfully, "What's there to welcome about them? They haven't been away for a year at most."

Zhu Qin: "Be careful what you say. Now you're under my command. I'll teach you a lesson!"

No one paid any attention to him.

Someone continued, "But you're different, Mr. Zhou."

"Yes, yes. We usually don't feel comfortable inviting you to any event. This time we're honored. You have to understand everyone's excitement."

Everyone was still restrained in front of Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng was obviously very good-tempered. As long as there were no mistakes at work, he would never criticize anyone.

But that kind of distance was really daunting.

Zhou Sheng laughed, "I'm no different from everyone else. If I have time, I'd be happy to join you."

"Did you hear that? Did you hear that? We're all witnesses."

"From now on, call Mr. Zhou for any event."

Zhou Sheng picked up a bunch of roasted green peppers.

He smiled at the group of people.

He saw many familiar faces, including everyone in the group that had just been formed at the meeting yesterday, including secretary Tang Mi.

They all looked the same as Zhou Sheng remembered them, but they were also very different.

Some were laughing, some were teasing, some were embarrassed.

The topics they talked about were not work or projects.

Who just broke up with whom, who got married, and who in the company had a quarrel over trivial matters.

Zhou Sheng heard a lot. He never

refused any toast. The proprietress

here was very enthusiastic. When she sent out several dishes again, Zhou Sheng realized that this place was opened by a female colleague in the marketing department.

Zhou Sheng saw countless high-rise buildings and handled many documents for cooperative projects.

But it seemed that he had entered the fireworks of the world for the first time.

In this fireworks, there were no old shadows covered in dust on the old streets. It was the sound of beer cans being opened, and the sound of oil dripping on the charcoal on the grill. He was surrounded by a noisy and lively atmosphere, as if surrounded by layers of illusions, and truly experienced the taste of the world.

Zhou Sheng was drunk.

For the first time.

He was really drunk and different from others.

It was just quiet. He

was so quiet that as long as he didn't speak, it seemed that no one around him could sense his presence.

He always sat quietly, still in the listening posture at the beginning, smiling at others and drinking the wine offered by others.

But it was difficult for him to speak again.

The first person to discover that Zhou Sheng was not right was Tang Mi.

When this secretary didn't wear heavy makeup and sexy clothes, she looked like a little girl with a ponytail.

She sat opposite, propped up her chin and looked at Zhou Sheng. She

said, "Is Mr. Zhou drunk?"

"Ah? Drunk?"

"Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Sheng heard it and shook his head: "No."

"Did you hear that? No."

"Mr. Zhou's face didn't even turn red, how could he be drunk."

"Tang Mi, you are just hoping that Mr. Zhou will get drunk, you'd better be careful not to get fired."

Tang Mi kept propping up her chin.

"But Mr. Zhou is different."

"Why is he different?"

"The defense has been upgraded. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Zhou now. I guarantee that you won't be able to ask anything."

This group of people are basically drunk.

Even Xu Chao is not much better.

There are really brave ones, eager to try.

"Boss Zhou, what's the password to the company's safe?"

Zhou Sheng chuckled lazily, "I'm really not drunk."

"Fuck, Tang Mi, you fooled me!"

Secretary Tang rolled his eyes at the other person.

As a result, when Zhou Sheng stood up and walked unsteadily, others really reacted and realized that Zhou Sheng was indeed drunk.

But just now, when he was sitting on the stool, smiling and saying that he was not drunk, he almost fooled everyone.

The level of calm disguise is really amazing.

Tang Mi didn't drink and wanted to help him.

"Mr. Zhou, are you okay? Where are you going? I'll take you there?"

Zhou Sheng shook his head and raised his hand to keep a distance. "No, I'm just washing my hands."

At the same time, Zhou Sheng's cell phone rang in his coat pocket.

At that moment, he rarely had the thought of not wanting to pay attention.

So he let the phone vibrate.

Tang Mi had never seen him not answer the phone.

She stepped back wisely.

The vibration stopped after a while.

When Xu Chao's phone rang, he saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello." His voice was very loud.

The people around were very noisy.

Xu Chao: "Who are you talking about? Zhou Sheng? Who are you? Just call our CEO Zhou by his name."

The other side said three words coldly: "Chu Qinbai."

Xu Chao was sobered up all of a sudden. He

hid in the corner of the rooftop, holding his phone.

He didn't know how Chu Qinbai got his number. After all, he was the only one who knew the truth about Brother Sheng and Chu Qinbai's marriage. No matter how dissatisfied he was, his momentum was weakened by three points.

Chu Qinbai asked him: "Where is Zhou Sheng?"

Xu Chao looked around and said: "He should go to the bathroom."

Chu Qinbai: "Give me the address."

Alcohol made Xu Chao's mind unclear, and he forgot his principle of never revealing Zhou Sheng's whereabouts easily.

After reporting the location of the barbecue restaurant, he remembered why he told him.

But the phone was hung up at that time.

In the car on the other side.

Chen Dengdeng drove the car and asked: "Did Mr. Zhou go to the party?"

Chu Qinbai hid in the shadows and hummed.

Chen Dengdeng: "Brother Chu, you have been to two cities in a row and haven't slept for 24 hours. How about I take you home to rest first, and then I'll pick up Mr. Zhou?"

"Just drive."

The bathroom is downstairs.

Zhou Sheng stayed there for a little longer.

He washed his face and wet his hair on his forehead.

Maybe he really didn't control the amount and drank a little too much.

This didn't make him much more sober, but instead he felt that his vision was getting more and more blurred.

So when he bumped into Chu Qinbai.

He hesitated and looked at the other person for at least five seconds, then frowned and said, "Is there someone who looks so similar?"

"No." Chu Qinbai looked at him: "I haven't seen you for a few days, don't recognize you?"

Zhou Sheng suddenly realized: "Ah, it's you."

Then he walked past him sideways, saying, "Why are you here? Didn't you say there was a film achievement promotion meeting, and you were the main speaker? I remember the time was the day after tomorrow, why are you back today?"

Chu Qinbai grabbed the man's arm and brought him back.

"How much did you drink?" He walked the man to the middle with his legs apart, and asked against the wall.

Zhou Sheng frowned: "I don't remember."

"You're drunk."

"I'm not. " "

Drunk."

"No."

Chu Qinbai: "You talk a lot."

Zhou Sheng: "I don't talk much when I'm drunk."

"You talk a lot now."

Chen Dengdeng stood in this cramped corner and looked around, afraid that others would see the scene at the corner.

Listening to the meaningless conversation behind her, she wanted to cover her face.

Mr. Zhou was obviously drunk.

Normally, he would not respond to Brother Chu's nonsense.

The second floor has reached the last half.

Someone was leaning against the stage and bragging to others.

I accidentally glanced downstairs and shouted: "Fuck! Mr. Zhou has been taken away!"

Many people rushed over at once.

"Kidnapping?"

"Who is so brave! Hurry up, go down and intercept him!"

Xu Chao was reluctant, but he intercepted this group of people who were drunk and full of the flavor of lone heroes in time.

He said, "No need. Mr. Zhou just sent me a message. He has something to do and has to leave first. That's... Brother Sheng's driver downstairs."

"Oh, I see."

"This driver is quite handsome."

The driver downstairs was seen wearing a loose black T-shirt and a hat, and he easily carried Mr. Zhou, who was as big as them, out the door.

Mr. Zhou's coat was still on the second floor, and he was conspicuous in his white shirt.

He was obviously not used to this posture and struggled in the middle, otherwise people would not suspect that he was kidnapped at first glance. But it was useless. The driver carried the man to the door of the car, bent down and stuffed him in.

Then the driver turned around.

He looked up at the second floor.

There was a group of people on the rooftop. I didn't see his eyes, but I could vaguely see the lower half of his face with clear contours.

Even at night, it was really good.

"This driver is really handsome."

"Why do I feel like he looks familiar?"

"Like a celebrity."

"Yeah, now I remember him, he looks like Chu Qinbai."

"Are the requirements for drivers so high now? Not only can he hug the boss, but he also has to look like an actor. It's amazing. It seems that I am not even qualified to be a qualified driver anymore."

☆ 60. Chapter 58

Chapter 58

Zhou Sheng lay in the car, staring at the roof of the car for a few seconds, until another person sat in beside him and made a noise, he turned his head to look at him.

"Why are you hugging me?" Zhou Sheng asked.

Chu Qinbai looked back at him, "I said, you are drunk."

"I didn't let you hug me even though I was drunk."

He now admitted that he was drunk, but he was entangled in another matter.

Chu Qinbai raised his eyebrows: "Why? Can't hug me?"

"It's embarrassing."

It's really embarrassing.

Even at night, there are not many people.

But when he just came out, he accidentally ran into the owner of the barbecue restaurant. The other party looked at him with concern, which Zhou Sheng could not forget for a long time. The other party probably thought that he had completely lost his ability to move due to drinking, or suspected that there was something wrong with his foot.

He is a grown man.

Even in the worst situation, he has never been hugged by another man like this.

This refreshed his cognition that he always thought he had to hold on at all times. In the gaps when he was dominated by alcohol, he was easily controlled by Chu Qinbai.

Chu Qinbai closed the car door, and while letting the car drive away, he said lightly: "There's nothing to be ashamed of. If I don't take you away, will you have to go back to continue the party? By then, don't talk about being embarrassed, I'm afraid you won't even know who you are."

Zhou Sheng put his arm on his forehead, not wanting to pay attention to him, and said softly: "I am Zhou Sheng, I know." The

car got on the road and turned a corner into the avenue.

Chu Qinbai looked at him sideways for a while, and suddenly asked: "Are you really Zhou Sheng?"

"What?" Zhou Sheng opened his eyes vaguely, and in the unknown light outside the car window, he met Chu Qinbai's eyes under the brim of his hat. He paused for several seconds, then retracted his eyes, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Chu Qinbai pinched Zhou Sheng's chin to make him turn his head, staring at him: "Really don't know? Do you still remember your name?"

"Nonsense." Zhou Sheng slapped his hand away.

Then he laughed unexpectedly again, stretched out his hand and hooked Chu Qinbai's neck, "I said, Zhou, which repeats over and over again, is the soundless sound." Zhou Sheng's breath sounded into Chu Qinbai's earlobe word by word: "My name is Zhou Sheng."

Chu Qinbai was forced to lean over, and from the front, his upper body was almost pressing on Zhou Sheng.

Because of Zhou Sheng's breath in his ear, Chu Qinbai's eyes became a little deeper.

Hoarse voice: "Okay, I know, your name is Zhou Sheng."

"If you know, don't ask again." Zhou Sheng pushed him away again.

He used a lot of force.

It seemed that he was unhappy.

If Zhou Sheng was sober, he would know that his reaction was not normal.

Silence is the attitude he should have when dealing with such things.

Either change the subject, or simply pretend not to know.

Unfortunately, he knew that Chu Qinbai's words were tentative, and he heard it.

It was because he heard it that he made a wrong choice. The first mistake was that he gave Chu Qinbai a different reaction from others. He was silent when facing others, but emphasized that his name was Zhou Sheng when facing Chu Qinbai's questions.

The second mistake was that he was emotional, or unhappy.

Based on Zhou Sheng's usual understanding of Chu Qinbai.

He knew that making the above mistakes would only deepen the other party's suspicion.

But he was drunk.

Many reactions seemed to be flawless, but in fact they were full of loopholes.

Today, because Xiao Lin had something to do, Chen Dengdeng, who was both an assistant and a driver, didn't know what was going on with the two people sitting in the back.

Brother Chu seemed to be teasing Zhou Sheng.

But there seemed to be something wrong with his reaction.

Mr. Zhou was the same.

He looked quite normal, and he seemed to be angry, but he took the initiative to pull Brother Chu, and then pushed him away.

As an assistant, she only hated that this car was Brother Chu's most ordinary one.

There was no partition, so she had to lean down slightly and try to treat herself as a transparent person.

The journey was quite long.

Zhou Sheng fell asleep unknowingly.

The alcohol evaporated, and he only felt hot in his dream.

That kind of heat is not from the sun, but the heat on the surface of the skin, it's like a fire burning in the chest.

"Turn on the air conditioner." He asked someone to turn on the air conditioner while half asleep.

Chen Dengdeng looked at the person who was tied to Brother Chu's lap and fainted.

He spoke carefully: "Brother Chu, Mr. Zhou looks very uncomfortable, how about turning it on

for a while?" "Don't turn it on." Chu Qinbai answered Sheng Chuan's call, looked down at the person who was pulling his collar, took his hand away and said: "False heat, greed for coolness will cause colds."

"Then what should I do?" Chen Dengdeng asked.

Chu Qinbai: "Go back first."

Sheng Chuan was still saying on the phone: "In his case, it's okay for him to get a little bit of socializing, but how can he get himself drunk."

Chu Qinbai held Zhou Sheng's wrists with one hand.

"This is the first time he drank like this. Are the consequences serious?"

Sheng Chuan sighed: "It's not that serious. His weak foundation is a big problem. It's like the same two containers. The things inside have cracks and have been repaired. Now there seems to be no problem on the surface, but the tolerance and the risk he can bear are more than half lower than that of ordinary people."

Chu Qinbai pinched Zhou Sheng's moving fingers: "I know this."

Sheng Chuan: "Let me tell you this, I have seen an example with a similar situation to Zhou Sheng. He died of a minor cold in the fifth year after his recovery. It sounds incredible, right? But who dares to bet on this?"

Chu Qinbai frowned deeply.

"You mean his health is so bad?"

Sheng Chuan continued, "Not really. His attending physician should have told him about this risk, but you said he was very busy at work and often worked overtime. I didn't say the situation was serious before, so I didn't know he was so careless. With poor immunity, the most feared thing is viral infection. So, I will discuss with my former mentor and prescribe some conditioning medicine for him in advance." Chu Qinbai hummed

, "Thank you for the trouble."

"You're welcome, it's my duty."

Zhou Sheng closed his eyes and asked someone to turn on the air conditioner.

The expected cool air did not come as expected.

Soon his thoughts were confused again, as if he had returned to the last day in Yucheng.

The city was spreading with war, the heat was close to the skin, and the heat wave rushed towards him.

His brows were getting tighter and tighter, but he didn't know who had been tying his hands and feet.

And told him not to move.

I don't know how long it took, finally, Zhou Sheng frowned and opened his eyes.

Only then did he realize that it was not the past, the car was still on the road, and he didn't know when he was lying on Chu Qinbai's legs.

Chu Qinbai leaned back, as if he was resting his eyes.

He didn't relax his hands at all.

He woke up when Zhou Sheng moved.

"Stop making trouble?" Chu Qinbai lowered his head, his voice a little hoarse.

Zhou Sheng looked at him from bottom to top, "Was it you just now?"

"What is me?" Chu Qinbai asked.

Zhou Sheng shook his head, knowing that his memory was confused again, and said, "Nothing."

He was trapped in the war.

Being dragged by someone, he couldn't go to the more serious area.

Zhou Sheng supported himself and tried to get up.

Chu Qinbai pressed him, "Just sleep like this, it's almost time."

"No, I don't know where I lost my clothes." Zhou Sheng frowned and got up, rubbed his forehead, and looked around. He

even forgot that he didn't take his clothes. He slept for less than 20 minutes, and it was obvious that he was the most drunk.

Chu Qinbai stopped him from looking and said, "You didn't take the clothes, don't look for them anymore."

"Why not? My clothes are very expensive."

"I'll compensate you, okay?"

Zhou Sheng looked at him with extremely clear eyes: "Chu Qinbai, I have my own money now, I don't need your money."

Chu Qinbai nodded: "Yes, you have money, you are the richest."

Zhou Sheng was dissatisfied and scolded with a hint of superiority: "What is your attitude?"

"What attitude?"

"Apologize."

"Apologize? Why should I apologize?"

"Because... Anyway, you apologize."

Chen Dengdeng finally drove the car into the apartment parking lot.

He hurriedly turned off the engine, turned back to interrupt this illogical argument, and said: "Brother Chu, Mr. Zhou, we're here."

Zhou Sheng was interrupted and didn't even remember why he asked Chu Qinbai to apologize.

He paused for a second, opened the car door first, and got out of the car.

As soon as he stood firm, he stumbled and was grabbed by Chu Qinbai who came down from his side.

Chu Qinbai looked at the person standing silently in front of him.

He said, "You are not allowed to drink anymore."

Zhou Sheng raised his eyes calmly, "Are you ordering me?"

"You are unreasonable, Mr. Zhou." Because Zhou Sheng was very resistant to being hugged, Chu Qinbai had to half hug and half embrace him to the elevator, saying, "You are so unreasonable even when you are drunk?"

Zhou Sheng felt that he was being led, and replied to him in an orderly manner, "I am a very reasonable person."

Chu Qinbai sneered, "Now you are the only one who thinks so."

Finally, he took him back.

Zhou Sheng was placed on the sofa in the living room.

He could hear Chu Qinbai walking in the living room, and the movement of Chen Dengdeng leaving. Then Chu Qinbai should have entered the bathroom, and soon there was the sound of water.

Zhou Sheng closed his eyes, lazy and unwilling to move.

Then he heard the sound of the phone vibrating again.

It kept ringing, not far from his head.

Zhou Sheng reached out and took it.

"Hello." He thought it was a work call, and he was trying to stay alert.

As a result, the other party seemed to be surprised that he was the one who answered the phone, "Zhou Sheng?"

Zhou Sheng took the phone and noticed that it was Chu Qinbai's call.

And the caller was not someone else, but his grandmother Feng Caijiao.

Zhou Sheng was speechless all of a sudden, and put the phone to his ear again, "Grandma, Chu Qinbai is busy, I called..."

"It's okay, it's okay." The old man interrupted him in time and said with a smile: "Your voice sounds wrong, do you have a cold?"

"No, I drank." Zhou Sheng sat up and said honestly with his eyes down.

Feng Caijiao: "You are busy with work, but you should also drink less alcohol, it hurts your body. He has a bad stomach, do you want to make him have a stomach problem?"

"No." Zhou Sheng grabbed the pillow and buried half of his face in it, "I just drank a little."

"Really?"

"Okay, a little more."

Chu Qinbai stood at the bathroom door with a towel.

Looking at the person on the sofa, he looked like he couldn't even lie.

I don't know what the old man said again, Zhou Sheng almost buried his whole face in it, and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, I won't drink anymore in the future."

Chu Qinbai shook his head and turned back in.

To him, it was "Are you ordering me?", but to the old man, he was obedient.

Zhou Sheng had a deep impression of Feng Caijiao.

She was a very dignified and elegant old man.

The painting that Zhou Sheng had painted in Xiyuan before was also hung in the main hall by her.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of his grandmother. She was also an elegant old lady, very gentle to all the younger generations.

Zhou Sheng greeted her and asked, "How are you recently?"

"Fine." Feng Caijiao said, "I called him because it is the anniversary of his mother's death. Zhou Sheng, you should go with him to visit the grave this year, and you should also let her mother see you." Zhou

Sheng knew that this was not something he could control.

As a married person, he should go when the elders ask him to.

So he did not refuse directly, nor did he agree, but just said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with him."

When Zhou Sheng lost his phone, he found that Chu Qinbai had come out and was standing next to the sofa.

Zhou Sheng raised his eyes, "Did you hear that?"

"Yeah." Chu Qinbai folded up the towel, half-knelt on the sofa, wiped his forehead, and looked at him: "Go together?"

Zhou Sheng: "If you take me with you, won't your mother be angry?"

"Why should she be angry?"

Zhou Sheng thought for a while: "Because I'm a man, or she's angry that we didn't get married because we like each other."

"Then if she's angry, she'll be angry at me, not you." Chu Qinbai motioned him to look up, and wiped the towel from his forehead to his neck, "Besides, she should like you very much."

"Why?"

"Because I like you."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

He was distracted by Chu Qinbai's words again. He

didn't notice it, just sitting there, and it was strange to let Chu Qinbai serve him with peace of mind.

Normally, he would have brought the towel over long ago.

The towel was hot, not hot or cold.

When Chu Qinbai reached out and started to unbutton his chest, Zhou Sheng was very late to stop him.

By the time he reacted and held his wrist, most of the buttons had been unbuttoned.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Sheng asked him.

Chu Qinbai raised his eyebrows: "You kept complaining about the heat on the way. You will feel much better if you wipe it off." Zhou

Sheng did not let go of him.

Instead, he looked at Chu Qinbai's face and suddenly asked: "Chu Qinbai, do you really like me?"

Chu Qinbai looked at him for two seconds, "Or not?"

"What do you like about me?"

Zhou Sheng listed for him: "There are a lot of good-looking people in the entertainment industry. Although I can make money, you don't lack it. I am not enthusiastic, but very cold. I won't coax you or treat you well. What do you like about me?"

Chu Qinbai probably smiled.

He said, "I am good-looking, not just by my face. I don't need money, so I don't need you to support me. I'll find it annoying and I don't like people who are too enthusiastic. I don't need anyone to coax me, and I don't need you to be nice to me. I can be nice to you. How about it? Am I not bad?"

Zhou Sheng was confused.

He felt that he didn't say anything wrong, so he said, "Not bad, right?"

Chu Qinbai lowered his head a little and looked into his eyes, "Then you think about it, do you like me?"

Zhou Sheng looked at him with a very pure, even exploratory and curious look.

He asked, "Chu Qinbai, what does it feel like to like someone?"

Zhou Sheng knew what he was asking.

It was a question that he shouldn't be curious about, but everything tonight filled his heart with an inexplicable feeling.

First, there was a company party, where he met a group of lively colleagues who lived a more lifelike and real life.

Then Chu Qinbai came.

He received a call from his grandmother and suddenly thought of his family.

There was too much warmth and the smell of alcohol.

It drove him to ask this question naturally in the silent and deserted night.

Chu Qinbai looked at him for a while without speaking.

Zhou Sheng urged: "Go ahead and say it."

"I can't say it." Chu Qinbai replied.

Zhou Sheng said with contempt: "Why can't you say it? You just said you like me, so it must be fake?"

Chu Qinbai: "Really, it's not fake."

Zhou Sheng: "You still haven't made it clear."

Chu Qinbai simply sat down next to him, with his hands on the back of the sofa, supporting his temples.

Maybe he cherished Zhou Sheng's direct and frank look too much.

The towel was thrown aside, and Chu Qinbai's still warm hands slowly pinched Zhou Sheng's earlobe from time to time.

Zhou Sheng couldn't bear it and turned his head to avoid it.

The less Chu Qinbai said, the more Zhou Sheng's subtle and never strong desire to explore almost reached its peak. But even if he drank a lot, he couldn't do anything to get to the bottom of it or ask endless questions.

"Forget it." He was leaving.

Chu Qinbai brought the man back and said with a smile: "So you are so impatient."

Zhou Sheng was brought over, his hair swept his chin, and he threatened with his eyes: "So are you kidding me?"

"I dare not." Chu Qinbai brought the man closer, leaned in and whispered: "Whatever Mr. Zhou wants to know, I will tell you everything I know."

Zhou Sheng sat quietly again and waited for a few seconds.

Still no result.

Zhou Sheng looked over. He

was completely angry, and he turned over and pressed the man down, using the moves he used in the car on the day Chu Qinbai brought him to the apartment.

He rode on the man and grabbed his neck.

Looking down: "Chu Qinbai."

Chu Qinbai lay on the sofa and laughed, "Do you really want to know so much?"

"I don't want to think about it now, you are really annoying."

Zhou Sheng thought he was using a trick to make the man unable to move.

He hadn't figured out whether it was the alcohol that slowed his reaction or the wrong strength. He

just felt dizzy, and was half-held by someone, and turned over and pressed on the sofa with his thighs.

Zhou Sheng was stunned, looking at the person above.

Chu Qinbai was very close to him, "I can't say, can we do an action verification, Mr. Zhou?" Zhou Sheng

opened his eyes: "What?"

"I'm asking for your opinion."

"What opinion?"

Chu Qinbai looked into his eyes and raised Zhou Sheng's chin with his right hand.

He lowered it: "This way."

☆ 61. Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Chu Qinbai paused slightly, and when his kiss lingered on his lips, Zhou Sheng could already feel the subtle touch, like the taste of the ancient sugar pot, dense and invading all the surrounding air.

Zhou Sheng blinked his eyes, and looked at Chu Qinbai who was so close to him almost naively.

From beginning to end, Chu Qinbai never waited for a rejection.

Finally, he reached out and covered his eyes, unable to bear it any longer.

Zhou Sheng's chin was pinched, and his teeth were completely broken.

He was kissed through.

Zhou Sheng never knew that this behavior would bring such a dizzying effect. He was entangled, like stepping on a soft cloud, and couldn't find a foothold. He had to reach out and hold the neck of the person in front of him, trying to find a breathing space. But in fact, what he got in return was a deeper and more unscrupulous deep kiss.

Forgetting time and space, Zhou Sheng gradually began to feel that he couldn't breathe.

"Chu...Chu Qinbai." He finally turned his head to avoid it, his face rubbing against Chu Qinbai's shoulder, his hands on his back to prevent him from continuing, panting as if he couldn't bear it: "Enough, enough, I'm going to die."

Chu Qinbai paused, then lay down and buried his head in his neck.

Zhou Sheng kicked him with his foot, "What are you laughing at?"

Chu Qinbai bit his earlobe, "You are so obedient after drinking?"

Zhou Sheng shuddered all over, and remembered to reply him, "When we went upstairs, didn't you say that I was unreasonable after drinking?"

Chu Qinbai stood up and looked at him, and calmly pulled the buttons on his chest that had been torn apart for him.

After a while, he asked him: "Do you understand now?"

"Understand what?"

"What do you mean by love."

Zhou Sheng shook his head: "I don't know."

Chu Qinbai nodded: "Well, then let me ask it another way. I kissed you just now, did you feel disgusted?"

"Yes, okay." Zhou Sheng's reaction at this time was very straightforward.

The shyness in his bones could not be completely concealed, but it could not be completely denied.

Reluctantly admitting, "I don't think I hate you."

Chu Qinbai curled his lips: "If you don't hate me, then you like me, Zhou Sheng, admit it, you like me too."

"Ah, is that so?"

Zhou Sheng looked at the ceiling of the living room.

The ceiling kept spinning, and he was also thinking, is this really what love is? Then he thought, no, this is what Chu Qinbai said, he must have fooled me.

Chu Qinbai buttoned Zhou Sheng's waist, and when he looked up and saw that he was already asleep, his eyes softened. He

took advantage of being drunk to bully someone.

He didn't feel any guilt.

After all, he was able to stop in time, which was already a great act of mercy on his part.

When Zhou Sheng woke up the next day.

He was in a mess.

He found himself sleeping in Chu Qinbai's room again for no apparent reason, and there were traces of wrinkles around him, proving that someone had slept on the other side last night.

Why did he sleep with Chu Qinbai?

Yesterday, he first had a party with his colleagues, and then Chu Qinbai came. He felt very hot in the car and had a dream. Later...

He didn't drink to the point of blacking out, so it was not difficult to remember.

As his memory gradually recovered, Zhou Sheng's expression became more and more strange.

Especially when he finally recalled the details on the sofa, Zhou Sheng finally took a breath of cold air in frustration and slowly raised his hand to cover his forehead.

The next second, he lifted the quilt and took a look. He couldn't

help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it didn't look like it was out of control.

He actually kissed a man.

When he first came, Fan Xuan asked him to sign an agreement. He originally thought that he had married a wife.

As a result, his wife became a pure man, and inexplicably, he had an extra husband.

But from beginning to end, Zhou Sheng didn't think that he would have feelings for a man.

But just last night.

He kissed Chu Qinbai and entangled on the sofa.

The temperature of the other party's hand that reached into his waist, the ambiguous sound between his lips and teeth that was enough to make people blush and heartbeat, and the intertwined breath, those memories were so clear that Zhou Sheng could recall the details.

He had no intention of resisting at all, and this was what Zhou Sheng cared about the most.

It was enough to prove that he could completely accept being close to a man.

Thinking this through only intensified his regret.

How could he do such a thing?

He had to force Chu Qinbai to tell him what he liked, kissing and hugging the man's neck.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had lost face.

Zhou Sheng threw back the quilt and got out of bed.

As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Chu Qinbai who was about to come in.

Chu Qinbai had a Western breakfast and a glass of milk on his tray. Seeing that Zhou Sheng's face was still pale from a hangover, he was startled by his reaction and raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Zhou, what are you going to do in such a hurry?"

Zhou Sheng calmed down, "Last night, we..."

"What?"

Zhou Sheng made up his mind and felt that he couldn't be vague, so he explained: "I drank."

"I know, so?"

"Can you pretend that nothing happened?"

Chu Qinbai said coldly: "No."

Zhou Sheng stopped talking.

Chu Qinbai glanced at him: "Do you simply not want to face it, or do you not want to take responsibility?"

"I, no, why should I take responsibility?" Zhou Sheng realized that he was almost led into a ditch by Chu Qinbai again. He straightened his hair, looked at Chu Qinbai, and forced himself to be calm: "I was just confused after drinking."

Chu Qinbai sneered: "You just made a mistake that ordinary men would make?"

Zhou Sheng heard ridicule and slight displeasure.

He opened his mouth and simply admitted it, "Yes, I drank and made mistakes. My mind is not clear. I hope you don't take yesterday's things to heart." He was aware that he

was not bullied and rushed to admit his mistakes.

Chu Qinbai's jaw moved.

After all, he was reluctant to do too much.

Turning around: "Come out and eat breakfast first. Your face looks too bad, don't drink so much next time."

Is this agreeing to let it go?

Zhou Sheng touched his face, not knowing how bad his face was.

Instead, his fingers accidentally touched his lips, and the tingling feeling came instantly, and he couldn't help frowning in pain.

He muttered, "When did it get bitten? Is it a dog?"

Zhou Sheng went to the restaurant and found Mrs. Zhang.

As soon as she saw him, she said, "Mr. Zhou, why did you come out?"

"Mrs. Zhang?" Zhou Sheng asked, "When did you come?"

Mrs. Zhang was not always at the apartment.

She came to stay for a few days when she had a child, and then went back to Donghu.

Mrs. Zhang wiped her hands on her apron, glanced at Chu Qinbai who put down the tray, and said with a smile: "He called me early in the morning and asked me to come over. He said you drank a lot of wine last night, so he asked me to stay here all the time to take care of you."

Zhou Sheng glanced at Chu Qinbai and shook his head: "I am in the company most of the time, so it's really unnecessary."

"Why not?" Mrs. Zhang disagreed and said: "It was like this before. I made soup and sent it to your company several times, but you thought it was too troublesome and didn't let me send it. Look at yourself, you are not in good health and have a hangover, and your face is not good again."

Zhou Sheng had no way to refute.

He was embarrassed to say that last night was really an accident.

He wouldn't drink himself into a state of confusion for no reason.

Chu Qinbai knocked on the table, "Okay, come here."

Zhou Sheng walked over and sat down.

Chu Qinbai pushed over two pieces of paper.

"What is this?" Zhou Sheng asked curiously.

Chu Qinbai: "I asked a professional nutritionist to match your diet chart according to your physique. You should strictly follow it in the future. There are also conditioning recipes and medicines on it."

Zhou Sheng looked up and looked at him.

Chu Qinbai rolled up his sleeves and looked at him: "Do you think I'm too nosy?"

"You don't have to do this." Zhou Sheng said.

Chu Qinbai rolled up his sleeves, put his hands on the table, leaned forward, looked at Zhou Sheng and said: "I have the right to take care of my partner's physical condition. I spent so much money to keep him alive, and you finally survived, so you plan to ruin yourself like this? This matter is settled, and it cannot be discussed."

Zhou Sheng also knew that Chu Qinbai spent an astronomical amount of money to keep this body alive.

But he didn't know that it was another person who woke up.

Zhou Sheng couldn't imagine what would happen if someone knew this fact.

Resurrection? Resurrection from the dead? Time travel?

Zhou Sheng was determined in his choice at this moment.

He would not tell Chu Qinbai the truth, so it was absolutely impossible for him to be with him.

Chu Qinbai looked at his eyes that suddenly faded.

He continued, "Don't you want to listen or do you think it's hard to hear?"

"Very sincere." Zhou Sheng nodded and said, "You're right. I should take good care of my health so as not to let down the money you invested." Zhou Sheng picked up the two pieces of paper, looked at them and said, "I will follow the above, thank you."

Chu Qinbai frowned.

He lowered his voice, "I didn't mean to say that the money shouldn't be spent. I think it's worth spending."

"I know you don't mean that." Zhou Sheng smiled, "My gratitude is just as sincere."

If Chu Qinbai hadn't been willing to pay at the beginning.

This body might not have stayed in the hospital for long and would have died.

There would be no Zhou Sheng from the old times.

There would be no Zhou family today.

There would be no him sitting at the dining table at this moment, saying thank you to Chu Qinbai.

In the final analysis.

It was this person who left a glimmer of hope, which gave Zhou Sheng in the past the opportunity to come here.

Chu Qinbai looked at him deeply.

He stood up and changed the subject, saying, "Next Thursday, my mother's death anniversary."

"Thursday?" Zhou Sheng still remembered the call from his grandmother last night. He thought about whether he had any plans. After a while, he said, "Okay, I'll make time."

Chu Qinbai went to his room to change clothes.

Mrs. Zhang brought him a bowl of soup.

She said, "Drink it while it's hot. It will relieve the hangover headache."

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhang." Zhou Sheng said.

Mrs. Zhang looked at him and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Sheng asked while stirring the spoon.

"He prepared this soup. It was already simmering when I came." Mrs. Zhang looked at him hesitantly and asked, "Mr. Zhou, why do I feel that you have lived together for so long, but your relationship is still sometimes close and sometimes distant?"

Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "We have always been like this, and we have never been close."

"Nonsense." Mrs. Zhang said angrily, "Although I am old, I am not blind. He cares about you, and you don't completely ignore him. I have never seen him so devoted to anyone. When two people live together, it is most important to have each other in their hearts. As long as you care about each other, you can live a good life."

Zhou Sheng took a sip of the soup.

It tasted good.

But he did not respond to Mrs. Zhang's words.

He didn't know before that so-called love involves so many ups and downs and emotional fluctuations.

You think you are soaking in warm water in the previous second, and you feel that there are holes everywhere for air to leak. He can't be open and honest, so he would rather not touch it, because there are too many suspicions and vigilances. Zhou Sheng can guess the general direction and ending without stepping in.

The wind blows the sand and can dazzle the eyes.

When there is more sand, everything will pass away without a trace.

He came secretly, and he also hoped that one day, when he really disappeared from this world, he would not stir up any waves.

Seeing that she could not persuade him, Mrs. Zhang stopped talking.

When Zhou Sheng first went to Donghu, she thought he came to win back the other party's heart. After all, Mr. Chu was rich and famous, and so many people tried hard to occupy a place by his side.

But after a long time, you can see some truth.

It is obviously forced, so it is rare to have today.

Mrs. Zhang could only sigh in the end. Young people can really make trouble, although others often don't understand what they are making trouble for.

Zhou Sheng shortened the time to go back.

Being busy is one thing, but it also means deliberately avoiding.

Zhou Sheng really followed the form given by Chu Qinbai. Even if he occasionally forgot, Mrs. Zhang and those around him who knew that he was conditioning his body would remind him on time.

Under deliberate manipulation, Zhou Sheng had hardly seen Chu Qinbai for a few days.

He didn't know what he was busy with.

He saw him again.

It was one afternoon five days later.

The development of the "Wangjiangcheng" plan involves many parties.

Zhou Sheng, along with his secretary assistant, was invited to attend the launch ceremony held by the Economic Development Zone Administration.

On the open-air exhibition stand, the leader's official speech took nearly an hour.

Many people sitting below were already impatient.

Zhou Sheng sat in the second row, and the seat in front was just empty. Occasionally, he would respond to the words of the person sitting next to him.

At this time, there was a faint commotion below.

A big-bellied man next to Zhou Sheng glanced back and suddenly said, "I've heard that the launch ceremony will invite a representative of Lancheng to cut the ribbon, and they actually invited one."

"Chu Qinbai?" Someone followed, "Why invite a star?"

"He is not just a star, his surname is Chu, and he is also the image ambassador of many important projects in Lancheng. The whereabouts of the funds in his hands is a mystery. His brother Chu Xuming is representative enough, but at this kind of event, who would not want to invite Chu Qinbai, who has great influence and whose funds are not necessarily less than Sheng Yu? He can hold up the face and the place. If it were you, wouldn't you invite him?"

Zhou Sheng really didn't expect to run into Chu Qinbai in such an occasion.

He turned his head and saw that he was wearing a dark suit, surrounded by two bodyguards, walking from the back to the front.

The bodyguards consciously went to the side.

Chu Qinbai walked all the way forward, walked to the front, and finally sat down on the chair in front of Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng could feel the silence around him for a moment.

The leader on the stage was still speaking.

Zhou Sheng stared at the back of the head of the person in front of him.

After he sat down, he greeted the people on both sides who were obviously acquainted with him, crossed his legs, and looked at the watch on his wrist from time to time.

He seemed to be in a hurry.

Zhou Sheng waited for a while, raised his foot and kicked the chair in front of him.

There was no response.

Zhou Sheng kicked it again, causing everyone around Zhou Sheng to look at him.

He also whispered a reminder: "Mr. Zhou, are you chasing stars? I heard that big names are quite temperamental. If you want an autograph, wait until the ceremony is over to see if there is a chance."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

Chapter 60

Zhou Sheng suddenly felt embarrassed. He just didn't want to greet her openly, and thought his actions were very secretive. Now he could only explain in a low voice: "I'm not a fan, I just bumped into her by accident."

"That's what I said." The person next to him said, "Mr. Zhou doesn't look like someone who would chase after celebrities."

This person is from a construction company. Although the proportion of projects they contract is not large, anyone who can squeeze into such a project must have some connections behind him. This person has a carefree face and looks very down-to-earth.

After saying that, he leaned closer to Zhou Sheng and gossiped, "This actor Chu is not someone that everyone would bother with. I had a friend who worked with me before, he was in the entertainment industry, he was a small capitalist, but the cooperation documents said that he didn't even submit them to his studio. This star is not the same as us ordinary people, especially someone of his status, he has to bring bodyguards when he travels, the scene looks different."

Zhou Sheng guaranteed 100% that at this volume, the people in the front would definitely be able to hear it if they listened carefully.

But since Chu Qinbai appeared, the voices of people talking around him gradually increased. The person on Chu Qinbai's left was the leader of the organizer, who would talk to him from time to time. He tilted his head to listen, and the occasional conversations were very brief. So he probably wouldn't pay attention to what the people behind him were saying, and if he really heard it, he wouldn't take it seriously.

Zhou Sheng nodded and agreed: "Yes, today's event also invited a lot of social media. It's not realistic not to bring bodyguards to a place like this with lax security measures."

"Mr. Zhou, you're not bad either."

The fat boss laughed and teased, "I've met so many bosses and leaders, big and small, but I've never seen someone as young and as good-looking as you. I think if you go into the entertainment industry, you won't necessarily be worse than the best actor at Renmin University."

This statement is very direct, without any malice, and it reflects what many people really think.

Those present here today who are under the age of 30 are not important figures.

Zhou Sheng is different. Many people initially just heard that the industry investor that the North District focused on introducing was very young, but no one thought he was so young. The key is that he is young but holds an important position and identity, and he does not give people the impression that he cannot withstand anything.

Just like in this kind of occasion, with a group of people of varying quality, some are middle-aged and greasy, and some are of different heights, he will stand out from the crowd just sitting there.

Young, gentle, elegant and chic.

Talking to him was like being in the spring breeze. His words were meaningful and his conversation was measured. The fat boss dared to guarantee that before Chu Qinbai came, most people were paying attention to him.

At this time, the speech on the stage had just ended and entered the next link. Chu Qinbai said something, but the leader on his left suddenly turned around and looked behind him.

The fat boss was startled and muttered to Zhou Sheng: "Was my voice loud when I complained about the movie star just now?"

Zhou Sheng nodded: "...Maybe, right."

"That's not the end."

Zhou Sheng laughed.

Until the ribbon cutting begins.

Chu Qinbai was invited to the stage first.

Zhou Sheng was not in a hurry. He stood up and walked behind.

Instead, the leader who had just spoken to Chu Qinbai came over and said with a smile, "Boss Zhou, please stand in the middle."

"It's not appropriate." Zhou Sheng showed a surprised expression, "I'm just here to join in the fun."

"That's too modest. If you want to join in the fun, don't start this project." The leader walked beside him and said, "Also, if it wasn't for Mr. Chu saying that you two are acquaintances, I wouldn't have known about it at all. Let's go over and take a photo together."

As soon as these words came out, the fat boss suddenly showed a shocked look.

Zhou Sheng felt even more embarrassed.

I wondered why Chu Qinbai was telling this to others for no reason.

Also, he clearly knew that I was sitting behind him, and he ignored him before, which was obviously intentional.

Zhou Sheng couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the organizers and was pushed to the middle, standing next to Chu Qinbai.

Zhou Sheng held the banner in front of him, looked at him sideways, and said seriously: "What a coincidence."

"What a coincidence." Chu Qinbai reached out and took the scissors from the etiquette lady's tray, saying, "I knew you were here before I came here. I saw you as soon as I entered the venue."

The person he saw was indeed the most conspicuous one in the crowd, with black hair and even his back revealing the temperament that only belonged to a man named Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng also took the scissors and replied: "Then why are you pretending to be unfamiliar down there?"

"Are you an elementary school student, Mr. Zhou? You kicked the stool of your deskmate in front of you." Chu Qinbai lowered his head and skillfully prepared to cut the ribbon.

Zhou Sheng glanced at him and said, "I don't know who the elementary school student is."

"Let's cut, let's start."

Both of them spoke in low voices and their faces looked equally serious, so no one knew what they were talking about.

Just after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, someone unscrewed the tube of the fireworks cannon with a bang.

Zhou Sheng returned the scissors, took a photo and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment." Chu Qinbai held him back.

Zhou Sheng turned around: "What's wrong?"

Chu Qinbai reached out and took out two pieces of colored paper from his hair, then patted him: "Okay, let's go."

Zhou Sheng was stunned for a moment, and his conditioned reflex was to look around, fearing that someone would take a picture of this scene.

Chu Qinbai knew what he was worried about, and walked outside while adjusting his watch: "Don't worry, this is not an entertainment event, and we didn't invite paparazzi, so no one will write nonsense."

Zhou Sheng nodded, hummed, and walked off the stage side by side with him.

There were quite a few people who saw the two people talking at the scene.

Wearing the same suit and ties, they attracted attention when standing together, and many people came up to chat with them.

Someone curiously asked: "How did Mr. Zhou and Mr. Chu know each other?"

"us......"

Chu Qinbai: "Blind date."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

The seven or eight people around them all laughed.

He said: "This is such a joke. They are both young talents. If the blind date really goes well, so many people's hearts will be broken."

"That's right. With your looks and identities, do you need a blind date?"

"So was this blind date successful or not?"

Chu Qinbai shook his head, feeling a little regretful: "What a pity, Mr. Zhou didn't like me."

"Boss Zhou has such high standards?"

"That's right. Mr. Zhou is a reserved and low-key person. How can he stand the constant peach blossoms around Mr. Chu, the actor, in the entertainment industry?"

Zhou Sheng was ridiculed by everyone.

He slightly turned sideways and approached Chu Qinbai: "Stop talking nonsense, do you need this little audience?"

"No." Chu Qinbai buttoned his waist, pressed forward, and whispered: "I lack a protagonist like you. Mr. Zhou has the ability to reject me all the time, but he is not allowed to say such a face-saving thing?"

Zhou Sheng gave him a speechless look.

"Stop it."

Chu Qinbai stretched out his hand and pinched the back of his neck. "I have something to do and I'll leave first. Someone will pick you up in two hours."

Chu Qinbai finished speaking without waiting for Zhou Sheng's reaction.

He turned to the others and smiled, "Everyone, I have something to take care of. See you next time."

He seemed to be really busy with work.

As soon as he left, Zhou Sheng still received a lot of teasing looks, but fortunately, few people really believed it.

Most people just think it's just polite talk and a joke.

The next day was Thursday. Zhou Sheng didn't know until the event was over that Chu Qinbai had gone back to the company to sign a contract after the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The reason they were in such a hurry was because they had to drive away overnight.

It wasn't until Zhou Sheng sat in the passenger seat and got on the road that he realized he wouldn't be going home today.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Zhou Sheng looked at the sign next to him that indicated he was about to leave Lancheng and said, "I didn't bring anything with me."

"No need to bring anything. You can buy anything you need on the way."

Zhou Sheng didn't know at first that his mother Qin Ruo was not buried in Lancheng.

Chu Qinbai said as he drove: "Qiwu Town is my great-grandmother's hometown. She lived there for a few years when she was a child and she liked the place very much. It was her own request to be buried there. It takes a long time to drive there from Lancheng. If you want to go back and forth tomorrow, you can only leave today."

Zhou Sheng: "Do you go back every year?"

"Not necessarily. I was too busy last year so I didn't go back."

It's already the end of October.

After driving further out of Lancheng, they passed a gas station when it was getting dark. When Chu Qinbai stopped to refuel, Zhou Sheng could clearly feel the air getting colder.

It was 11 o'clock in the evening when we arrived at Qiwu Town.

The town was not big, with only four or five streets in total, and people in small places went to bed early, so there were not many pedestrians on the road when they drove into the town. The lanterns in front of the door reflected the river beside the street, which gave a sense of seclusion and tranquility.

Zhou Sheng inexplicably liked this place.

Seeing that he was looking out the window, Chu Qinbai deliberately slowed down the car.

The introduction said: "This town is close to the mountains and the water, and the environment is very good. There is also a famous Puzhao Temple in the south. Many businesses have taken a fancy to this place and want to vigorously develop it into a tourist area."

Zhou Sheng looked outside and said, "I think it's better not to develop it."

Chu Qinbai smiled and said nothing.

This time he deliberately drove a very low-key car, which Zhou Sheng had never seen in his garage. He drove around two streets and finally stopped in front of a very tall semicircular arched wooden door.

Zhou Sheng was surprised: "Where is this?"

"My great-grandfather's old house."

"It must be quite old. It looks new. I thought we were going to stay in a B&B or something like that."

Chu Qinbai opened the car door and got out, saying, "We've hired someone to look after and clean this place all year round, so it's in pretty good condition. Let's go, and stay here tonight."

As soon as Zhou Sheng got out of the car, he shivered because of the cold wind.

He stood outside the door for a moment, looking up at the plaque above.

The words "Qin's House" have faded.

The two stone steps in front of the door are very clean, with a stone lion on each side. There is an iron ring buckle on the door, which also looks very old.

Zhou Sheng had a long coat draped over his shoulders.

Chu Qinbai gathered his eyes for him and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Family tradition."

Chu Qinbai glanced at the gate and said, "The Qin family's ancestors were all about teaching and educating people, which is why my grandfather devoted his life to supporting education. It is said that my great-grandfather always disapproved of his obsession with calligraphy and painting, thinking that it was useless to play with things, but later he saw that he was indeed talented and eased the relationship."

Zhou Sheng raised his eyes: "Then why didn't you inherit any of it?"

Zhou Sheng thought about what happened during the day, when he told him how they met through a blind date.

Chu Qinbai looked at him and said, "Don't you have one?"

"What?"

"Mr. Zhou is so talented, the reason why he rejected me is that he wants to find someone equally talented who can talk about poetry and life philosophy every day?"

Zhou Sheng said disdainfully: "You are full of sour words. Where did you learn such clichés from?"

Seeing that the door was not locked, Zhou Sheng turned around and walked up the stairs.

In front of the old house, he was still wearing the suit he wore during the day. He adjusted his coat on his shoulders while walking up the stairs.

Chu Qinbai called him.

"I'm talking about Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Sheng stopped at the last step and looked back at him.

Chu Qinbai folded his hands and leaned against the car body. "In this house, there are tablets of all the ancestors of the Qin family, including my mother. You have met them today, and you have entered my family. No matter what happens in the future, we will not divorce. It is not because of the promise between your father and me, nor is it a contract. It is because I, Chu Qinbai, will not allow it. I will never agree to it. Do you understand? You will completely lose the right to find another person, so think it over before entering."

Zhou Sheng stood on a high place, looking at the man not far away.

He seemed not to be afraid of the cold. He took off his coat and hung it on the rearview mirror of the car.

The words were very barbaric and unreasonable, which was what Chu Qinbai always did. But Zhou Sheng seemed to penetrate the distance of a few meters and saw the actor Chu in the eyes of fans, the third brother in the mouths of Feng Jiaojiao and others, the boss in the eyes of the studio people, and the boss Chu in the investment world. All of them eventually became the Chu Qinbai in front of him.

He looked at himself quietly.

Beneath the calmness, he finally revealed his hunting posture.

Zhou Sheng felt that he should say something.

In the end, I could only hear the sound in my chest.

Boom, boom, boom, my heart seemed to belong to me for the first time, beating clearly and distinctly.
