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 697 Learn from him, become him, surpass him!

"Fourth brother, it seems that we siblings are valued by Father more than Zhou Na. If she knew that we came to the hospital with Secretary Wang for the psychiatric evaluation, what do you think she would think?"

As Zhou Ling left the hospital, the thought that Zhou Na hadn't received a notification from Secretary Wang made her feel smug again.

"Third sister, you're not trying to tell her this on purpose to make her angry, are you?"

Zhou Chuan's expression flashed, and he asked the question knowing the answer already.

"why not."

Zhou Ling smiled proudly; this was exactly what she had in mind.

Seeing this, Zhou Chuan did not stop them. He was happy to see Zhou Ling and Zhou Na's relationship become more strained, so that he could profit from both sides.

Zhou Ling immediately took out her phone, dialed Zhou Na's number, and deliberately put it on speakerphone.

After hearing Zhou Na's voice

Zhou Ling smugly recounted how Secretary Wang had called them to the hospital for an autopsy, deliberately mocking Zhou Na for having no standing in Zhou Haide's heart.

"Do you know what this means? It means that Dad likes me and my fourth brother the most."

"Perhaps, in a few days, Dad will take us to Hong Kong Island, where we will live, while you will be left alone on the mainland."

"Do you know how developed and wealthy Hong Kong Island is? It's one of the most prosperous places in the world, with a living standard several times higher than that of the mainland. Unfortunately, you probably won't be able to go there."

Just as Zhou Ling was feeling quite pleased with herself,

Suddenly, a voice came from the other end of the phone.

“I did not receive a call from Secretary Wang, nor did I go to the hospital for a medical examination like you did, but I did see my father. He came to the school to find me in person and gave me some money to support my business. It seems that he values ​​me more than you do.”

What!

Zhou Ling's expression froze.

Zhou Na actually saw her father before they did. How could that be? Her father clearly cared more about them and valued them more.

Why give Zhou Na money to support her business venture?

wrong,

Zhou Na must be lying. She made up the false information on purpose because she didn't want to be ridiculed by her.

Yes, that must be it.

Thinking of this,

Zhou Ling sneered and said, "Zhou Na, you're just fooling yourself. Do you think I'd believe you?"

Believe it or not!

Zhou Na only replied with one sentence before hanging up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Zhou Ling was unconvinced, thinking that Zhou Na was feeling guilty and afraid of revealing her secret, which was why she hung up the phone.

"Fourth brother, Zhou Na is so envious and jealous of us that she's gone mad and started writing, directing, and acting in her own dramas."

"Third sister, what if what second sister said is true?"

"You believe her nonsense?"

“My second sister has never lied to us, and I don’t think she would fabricate something out of thin air like this.”

After Zhou Chuan said this, Zhou Ling fell silent, because she knew that Zhou Na had indeed not lied to them, and that such a lie was easy to expose; all they had to do was ask Secretary Wang, and the truth would come out.

"Since you think what she said is true, then let's ask Secretary Wang to verify it. Anyway, I don't believe Father will treat us differently."

After saying that, Zhou Ling immediately dialed Secretary Wang's number again.

When Zhou Ling heard Secretary Wang say that Zhou Haide had indeed gone to the school to look for Zhou Na, her face turned very ugly.

"I heard that Dad supports her starting her own business. Secretary Wang, is that true?"

"Mr. Zhou does indeed support Miss's entrepreneurial endeavors."

Upon receiving confirmation, Zhou Ling hung up the phone, feeling utterly dejected.

Zhou Chuan's expression was also not good, because he sensed that Zhou Haide valued Zhou Na more; otherwise, why would he give Zhou Na money to start her own business?

As his son, he should have given him the money.

Could it be that they want to groom Zhou Na?

At this moment, both Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, siblings, were devastated by the news, and their moods were somewhat depressed.

Zhou Chuan wanted to know what Zhou Haide was thinking, so he immediately made an excuse to separate from Zhou Ling and prepared to make a phone call to Secretary Wang.

Zhou Ling originally wanted to show off in front of Zhou Na, but instead she was humiliated. On the way back, she kept cursing Zhou Haide for being biased.

“Honey, the current situation is very unfavorable for us. Your father may value Zhou Na more, so we should give her money to support her business. If she succeeds, she may become the heir. We also need to let your father see your abilities. The milk tea shop can’t wait; we have to open it now.”

Zhao Kun knew that he and Zhou Ling were bound together by fate, and if Zhou Ling fell out of favor, he would find it difficult to gain any benefits from Zhou Haide.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling agreed and immediately said, "Brother Kun, you're right. I must let Dad know that I'm no worse than Zhou Na. I can also do business and achieve great things."

"In that case, let's not go home yet. Let's find a shop and open one next to Mixue Ice Cream. That way, we can not only prove that we are better than Zhou Na, but also steal Zhou Chen's business. It's killing two birds with one stone."

Zhao Kun's suggestion made Zhou Ling's eyes light up, and the two immediately headed to the nearest Mixue Ice Cream milk tea shop.

On the other end,

Slapping Zhou Ling in the face did not make Zhou Na feel particularly happy; on the contrary, her brows remained furrowed.

The reason is nothing more than...

She was worried about starting a business and what kind of business to do.

Previously, when I watched Zhou Chen start her own business, one after another, it seemed very easy and effortless. I always thought that if I were to do it, I might not do any worse than Zhou Chen.

Now that she has the start-up capital, Zhou Na suddenly realizes that starting a business is not easy.

The very first question stumped her.

She didn't know what to do.

My mind was blank, and I felt completely lost.

This made Zhou Na wonder if Zhou Chen was as conflicted as she was when she started her business. Probably not, otherwise, how could Zhou Chen have built up so many businesses?

"Is this the difference between him and me?"

Before it even started, Zhou Na couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration.

Zhou Na really disliked this feeling.

Because she didn't want to lose to Zhou Chen.

Just when Zhou Na was feeling frustrated and frustrated, struggling with the first step of starting her business, a sentence from her roommate's conversation suddenly gave her inspiration.

At the same time, Zhou Na recalled some things her training instructor had said when she was learning management.

Zhou Na immediately pulled out her class notes.

When you turn to a certain page

She smiled.

My gaze fell on a certain sentence: Success can be replicated; the fastest way to go from not knowing to knowing is through imitation.

These words enlightened Zhou Na, and she suddenly understood.

She can't come up with any good business ideas, that's okay, she can imitate others.

Who is the best role model to imitate?

A figure flashed into Zhou Na's mind—it was Zhou Chen. What she needed to do was learn from Zhou Chen, become Zhou Chen, and eventually surpass Zhou Chen.

Defeating Zhou Chen in his area of ​​expertise would better showcase his abilities and prove his worth.

In an instant,

With a clear goal and idea in mind, Zhou Na finally smiled.
