Chapter 172 Zhou Xiye, who worries like an old father

Zhou Xiye was also surprised; no one else had received this treatment, being called to Shang Shiyi's office twice for a talk.

The first time, Shang Shiyi asked him some questions about the meeting, and then asked him if he would like to stay in Beijing.

Today, we continued with the same topic, asking him if he would be willing to stay in Beijing. We not only analyzed the prospects for him but also specifically mentioned his family.

This made Zhou Xiye think more deeply that the real reason Shang Shiyi kept him in Beijing was Jiang Zhizhi.

After all, Shang Shiyi knew very well that they had responsibilities on their shoulders, and when orders came down, how could they possibly care about their personal families?

Once you shoulder the responsibility of loyalty, you are destined to let your family down.

Logically, given Shang Shiyi's position and experience, he wouldn't say such things to an unrelated person. Even if he valued talent, he would only consider it from a professional perspective, not mention his family twice.

Shang Shiyi, Jiang Zhizhi.

Similarities between Shang Xingzhou and Jiang Zhizhi

The timing of Shang Shiyi and Shang Shiying's falling out...

Shang Shiyi's attention to him!

Also, Shang Shiyi suddenly gave his father ginseng!

On his way back in the afternoon, Zhou Xiye meticulously analyzed the situation, and the final result surprised even himself.

He concealed his analysis and told Jiang Zhizhi about Shang Shiyi's suggestion: "Vice Commander Shang suggested that I stay and continue my studies, saying that a good commander is hard to come by."

Jiang Zhizhi's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly: "Vice Minister Shang is right. In fact, a commander with outstanding abilities is also the key to a war. Being able to fight and knowing how to fight are not the same thing."

Zhou Xiye kissed her lips: "Hmm, I'll think about it."

The arm around her waist tightened little by little.

Jiang Zhizhi quickly pushed his shoulder: "No, no, it's too late. You have a meeting early tomorrow morning."

Zhou Xiye nuzzled her cheek with the tip of his nose: "Take a break tomorrow morning, and give a speech in the afternoon."

Jiang Zhizhi was stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening: "My God, Zhou Xiye! You actually lied to Song Dong? Did you plan this all along? You're really deep in thought now."

To eat meat, they will stop at nothing.

Zhou Xiye chuckled softly, giving her no chance to speak, and silenced her with a kiss.

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and reached out to hug his neck...

Although he went to bed late, Zhou Xiye still got up on time in the morning without waking Jiang Zhizhi from leaving the room.

After washing up, I sat down at the dining table to read the newspaper.

Fang Hua was a little puzzled: "Aren't you in a hurry today? Your dad went to the grassroots level early this morning and won't be back for the next few days."

Zhou Xiye nodded and said, "I'll take half a day off today and go after lunch. I'll make breakfast in a bit."

Fang Hua waved his hand: "It's all done. I bought some glutinous rice flour yesterday. I couldn't sleep last night, so I made some glutinous rice balls with black sesame and peanut filling. You can cook them for Zhizhi when she wakes up."

After saying that, she added, "I think she really likes sweets, so I'll fry some glutinous rice strips for her as a snack later."

Zhou Xiye looked at Fang Hua with some surprise. In his impression, Fang Hua was not an easy person to get along with.

Why are you suddenly acting like a completely different person?

Fang Hua didn't think much of it: "Just cook the glutinous rice balls until they float to the surface. Don't cook them for too long, or they'll disintegrate."

As they were talking, Zhou Xiaochuan came downstairs yawning and saw Zhou Xiye sitting at the dining table. He immediately stood up straight.

My lower back still aches a little.

Fang Hua didn't notice anything unusual about her youngest son and urged Zhou Xiaochuan, "After you've finished washing up, hurry up and eat. The steamed buns and vegetables are in the pot. Put them away after you finish eating. I'm going to your aunt's house."

After saying a few more words to Zhou Xiaochuan, he hurriedly changed his clothes and went out.

After Fang Hua left, Zhou Xiaochuan slowly moved to the dining table and asked, "Brother, didn't you go to the meeting today?"

Zhou Xiye folded the newspaper and threw it on the dining table, staring intently at Zhou Xiaochuan with a slightly pursed lip and a cold, serious expression.

Zhou Xiaochuan's heart clenched, still somewhat frightened: "Brother, I'm going to find Xiao Liu today and ask him what exactly happened."

Zhou Xiye frowned: "Zhou Xiaochuan, you're twenty-two, not twelve. After something like this happened, use your brain. Besides your family, do you still trust anyone else?"

Zhou Xiaochuan hesitated for a moment: "Brother, Xiao Liu probably won't. We grew up together."

Zhou Xiye looked at the stubborn and foolish Zhou Xiaochuan: "Even brothers might turn against each other. What makes you so confident that the other party would never harm you? No matter what, always keep a degree of vigilance in your heart."

"You know what the situation is right now, and you don't know how serious the consequences of saying the wrong thing can be."

Zhou Xiaochuan remained silent and lowered his head, feeling somewhat resentful. Although someone had harmed him, he shouldn't be like Zhou Xiye, doubting everyone around him.

He and Xiao Liu were childhood friends, and he believed he knew them well.

Zhou Xiye looked at Zhou Xiaochuan, who was as stubborn as a walnut. He realized that hitting him was useless. It seemed that he needed to make him suffer a great loss outside before he would learn his lesson.

Zhou Xiaochuan ate breakfast under pressure and left in a hurry.

On the way, he complained to Xiao Liu about Zhou Xiye's education of him. Fortunately, Xiao Liu was the only one with a brain and didn't mention that Jiang Zhizhi had actually found something in the file folder.

...

Jiang Zhizhi didn't get up until after ten o'clock. She hugged the blanket and dozed off for a bit. This was her last day of sleeping in at home. Tomorrow she would go to her study class.

She hasn't gone to find Bian Xiaoxiao yet.

The thought of going to find Bian Xiaoxiao instantly energized Jiang Zhizhi. She got up, dressed, and almost tripped and fell when she got out of bed.

My groin hurts!

Jiang Zhizhi glared at the three-drawer table with resentment. This table had to be moved!

This bed needs to be fixed, fixed so it doesn't make any noise!

After a moment, I rubbed my eyes and went to wash up.

After washing up, I found Zhou Xiye sitting in the living room, doing needlework!

I rubbed my eyes again, feeling like I was seeing things. Zhou Xiye really was doing needlework!

She jogged over, stood beside him, and saw a piece of sheepskin in his hand, sewn into a tube shape: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Xiye handed it to Jiang Zhizhi and said, "Put this on the handlebars, and then wear gloves while riding. Your hands won't get cold."

Jiang Zhizhi found it amazing: "Isn't there a military-style cotton glove? That's also very warm."

Zhou Xiye took the sheepskin and continued sewing: "That one is warm, but it's not flexible enough. You can put this on the handlebars and wear ordinary gloves. That way your fingers will be more flexible and it will be easier to operate the brakes."

He picked up the sewn piece next to him and said, "Also, wear this on your knees when you go to school in the morning. Otherwise, if the wind blows into your knees, you'll easily get rheumatism."

Jiang Zhizhi: "!!"

She suddenly laughed and reached out to link her arm with his: "Do you know what you look like when you're like this?"

Zhou Xiye saw her smile and knew it wasn't something nice, so he ignored her.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Zhizhi leaned on his shoulder with a smile: "Like a worried old father."

Zhou Xiye suddenly turned around, pressed Jiang Zhizhi down on the sofa, reached out and pinched her chin before kissing her...
