A Bunch of Ungrateful Wretches, Don't Call Me Brother Anymore

To help his three adoptive siblings, Zhou Chen sacrificed his future, only for them to succeed. However, instead of gratitude, he was met with ingratitude, leading to a lifetime of hardship.

Chapter 679 The New Life of the Three Siblings! shuhaige.net

Zhou Ling failed to establish her authority as an older sister in front of Zhou Chuan.

As the brother-in-law, Zhao Kun had no choice but to endure it for the sake of the future, not wanting to completely break off relations.

Zhou Ling offered a few words of comfort but didn't condemn Zhou Chuan excessively.

This left Zhao Kun feeling uneasy. He knew that in the past, Zhou Ling would have definitely spoken up for him without hesitation.

But this time,

Zhou Ling seemed to have changed. Although Zhou Ling was on his side, Zhao Kun could sense that Zhou Ling seemed to have lost something in her relationship with him.

Could it be that Zhou Ling listened to Zhou Chuan's words and started to look down on him?

The moment this thought crossed Zhao Kun's mind, a chill ran down his spine.

"Brother Kun, where are you going?"

“I’m too ashamed to stay in this house anymore. Xiao Chuan said I’m a freeloader. Yes, I’m spending your money right now, but I, Zhao Kun, am not a man who relies on women. I will go out and find a job to earn money. Even if I have to beg, I will earn money to support you and our daughter.”

Seeing Zhao Kun's serious expression, Zhou Ling's initial thoughts about Zhou Chuan's words immediately dissipated.

"Brother Kun, Fourth Brother does have some issues with you, but he definitely didn't mean it. Don't take it to heart."

“Xiaoling, I really can’t stay in this house anymore. I’m a man too, and I have my pride. You and Xiaochuan can stay here. I’m going to find somewhere else. I really don’t want to be pointed at and called a gigolo every day.”

Zhao Kun adopted an attitude that he didn't care even if he lived under a bridge.

Zhou Ling grabbed Zhao Kun's arm, preventing him from leaving. "Brother Kun, how about this, let's move to another place instead of staying here? What do you think?"

"I don't want to ruin your relationship as siblings, let's just forget about it."

Zhao Kun shook his head.

“Brother Kun, I’m already married to you. We’re family now. It’s really not suitable for me to live with my fourth brother. The neighbors around us often gossip and spread all sorts of rumors. This is a good opportunity to move out. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.”

Hearing Zhou Ling say this, Zhao Kun looked troubled: "Is this a good idea?"

"Of course, that would be great. I've been wanting to move to a different place for a while now."

Zhou Ling smiled and said that she believed Zhao Kun would be successful and have a bright future. He had just been released from prison and was not yet used to it. Once he was used to it, with Zhao Kun's intelligence and her as his capable wife, the two of them, with their resources, would definitely have a better and better life.

That same day, Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun moved out and found a new place to live in a high-end neighborhood.

Zhou Chuan was overjoyed to learn of this; even if Zhou Ling didn't move out, he was already thinking about doing so himself.

However, at this moment, he was completely captivated by Zhang Xiaoxiao's beauty.

In just a few days,

With Zhou Chuan spending lavishly on Zhang Xiaoxiao, their relationship quickly warmed up, and they were just one step away from breaking through the final barrier and becoming a couple.

Zhou Chuan had his own ideas and was trying to solidify the relationship.

Zhang Xiaoxiao politely declined, citing that it was too fast, and this reserve only made Zhou Chuan more certain that Zhang Xiaoxiao was a good girl.

What surprised Zhou Chuan the most was that Zhang Xiaoxiao was a student at Yanda University.

Having a girlfriend from Yenching University, and a great beauty at that, is such a prestigious thing. When his father, Zhou Haide, comes from Hong Kong, he can also prove to Zhou Haide that his only son is capable; otherwise, how could he have won over a student from Yenching University?

Thinking of this, Zhou Chuan became even more determined to make Zhang Xiaoxiao his girlfriend.

At first, Zhang Xiaoxiao thought that Zhou Chuan didn't have much money and was probably just putting on a show.

Even when they went to a high-end restaurant, Zhou Chuan's clothes and manner of speaking all revealed one word: unsophisticated!

They didn't seem like wealthy people, which made her doubt that she had made a mistake in her judgment.

However, during their subsequent conversation, she suddenly learned a bombshell: Zhou Chuan actually had a father who ran a business in Hong Kong, a real big boss. She had just met him a few days ago, and Zhou Chuan had spent tens of thousands of dollars on her, confirming this fact.

Zhang Xiaoxiao thought she could agree to Zhou Chuan's request.

However, it can't be too fast.

We need to wait a little longer; things that are too easily obtained are often not cherished.

She needs Zhou Chuan to be completely devoted to her, to love her to the point of being unable to extricate himself from her, so that she can gain enough benefits from him.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

Zhou Chen thought that Zhou Ling, Zhao Kun and his wife, or Zhou Chuan would come to him and continue to show off and cause trouble, but the scene he expected did not appear, which was quite unexpected.

Zhou Chen only thought about it for a few seconds before moving on to other things.

at the moment,

He hasn't sold his shares yet, and he holds a large number of Moutai shares. Many people on Weibo are asking him in comments or private messages when he will sell them all.

In fact, Zhou Chen had already started selling, but he wasn't selling them all at once; he was selling them little by little.

He sold the stocks and resold them as Penguin stock. Because the move was subtle, it went unnoticed. Even if someone was watching him, they couldn't see anything amiss.

Moutai stock is unlikely to experience a surge in the short term. Of course, it will still rise in ten years, but holding it for the long term is not worthwhile for Zhou Chen; he has much better options.

Recently, some problems have arisen within Tencent. Pony Ma has implemented corporate reforms, resulting in a large number of high-level personnel changes. In addition, Tencent is facing several lawsuits, leading to widespread rumors that the company is in crisis. This has caused the stock price to plummet and the market value to evaporate by hundreds of millions of yuan. Zhou Chen seized this opportunity and entered the market at the right time.

To avoid his actions attracting too much attention and causing many investors to follow suit and drive up the price of Tencent stock, Zhou Chen had to keep a low profile and quietly switch stocks in a subtle and pervasive manner.

In this way, the price of Penguin shares will continue to fall, and the Moutai shares he sold can be used to buy more Penguin shares at a lower price.

While Zhou Chen was secretly switching stocks...

Inside a private training school classroom,

The lecturer at the podium is speaking eloquently, teaching how to do business, how to manage a company, how to run a company well, and so on.

Sitting in the first row of the audience, Zhou Na took notes, trying her best to fully understand the lecturer's words.

After a brief period of retaliatory spending, Zhou Na returned to rationality and decided to improve herself.

So, after making a selection, she came to this vocational training school to study.

As for the subjects studied, they were in business administration.

Because she always remembered her conversation with Zhou Chen, who said she didn't know how to lead a team, how to do sales, or how to manage. So, she was going to make up for these shortcomings. She wanted to let Zhou Chen know that she, Zhou Na, was not useless; she was excellent and not as bad as Zhou Chen made her out to be.

On her first day in the class, Zhou Na discovered that management is a very profound subject, and that running a company well requires a lot of skills.

She knew this was the place where she could improve her abilities.

She could even learn skills here that surpass Zhou Chen's.
