Chapter 231: Three Times Never

When they discovered him, Zhou Liangqi was playing with his children at the playground, wearing glasses and smiling like a venomous snake. "Publish an apology in the newspaper tomorrow, declare bankruptcy, and stay away from Haicheng."

The man was so scared that his courage was lost - Zhou Liangqi was pinching the child's neck, but he was not using any force, and the child thought he was playing with him.

But how could I not see that Zhou Liangqi was threatening me?

"Mr. Zhou! If this gets published in the newspaper, our whole family will be finished!"

Zhou Liangqi returned the favor tenfold: "If you think your wife and children would be more worthy in the zombie sea, of course I won't force you."

The man nearly fell to his knees.

So he stayed away from Haicheng and never got involved in business again. He started from scratch again and could only look up to the heights of his previous career.

This is a gray area.

This is Zhou Liangqi's dark side method.

He rarely takes action, but once he gets angry, he can't take it back.

Undoubtedly, what Xu Xiaolin did made Huo Qichen angry, and even more so Zhou Liangqi.

Zhou Liangqi did not bring up the past events because he felt indebted to Xu Xiaolin and knew that she had a clear mind.

So what she did to Jian Mo now has crossed his bottom line.

"Dream of Red Mansions" says that things never happen more than three times, just like drinking tea, one cup is a taste, two cups quench your thirst, and three cups is like drinking donkey tea.

This principle can be applied to many things.

Xu Xiaolin drank four cups.

She didn't know why, but she felt a little dizzy and uncomfortable, even worse than after drinking.

She did not indulge herself into unconsciousness, but boldly fell into Zhou Liangqi's arms, grabbing the collar of the man's black shirt, "Liangqi, Liangqi...that Jian Mo is not a good person, please don't love her, okay."

Zhou Liangqi's smile faded, and he brushed his hand across her delicate face expressionlessly, "Well, continue."

Xu Xiaolin seemed to see a glimmer of hope and blurted out a sharp remark: "She is a bitch!"

"Ah!" A sharper sound came from the lounge, and the people outside shuddered, frightened and terrified.

Awakened by the pain, Xu Xiaolin finally woke up, fell to the ground, and looked at the suddenly furious man in disbelief.

Secretary Zhao finally cleaned up the mess. The lounge was in disarray. Zhou Liangqi returned to his high-handed demeanor, throwing away the tissue he'd used to wipe his hands and saying calmly, "Call the police! Miss Xu is on drugs."

Secretary Zhao was horrified. He looked at Xu Xiaolin, who was lying on the ground. She looked like a dead person. She was trembling and muttering, "No, no, I didn't do that, Liang Qi! You can't do this to me!"

Zhou Liangqi strode away as if it had nothing to do with him.

Xu Xiaolin was in extreme pain and screamed miserably: "Ah——"

Soon, everything was cleaned up.

In Zhou Liangqi's private lounge, he stood in front of a row of red wine in a daze, and not far away was the scenery of the entire Haicheng.

Secretary Zhao walked in quickly and said, "It's cleaned up. Miss Xu will soon receive the punishment she deserves."

Zhou Liangqi hummed, took out a tissue and wiped his hands, "Go inform Huo Qichen."

"Yes." Secretary Zhao hesitated, still doubtful. "Actually, we don't have to do anything for Huo Qichen. He can't take action against Fei Yue and Xu Xiaolin due to his promise, so there's no need for us to help him."

"He knows I will definitely help." Zhou Liangqi opened his thin lips slightly, full of bitterness and coldness. "Whether it's because of Xu Xiaolin's friendship with me, or my friendship with... my friendship with Jian Mo, I will definitely help. Huo Qichen has grasped this point."

Secretary Zhao was horrified. "Boss Zhou, forgive me for being so abrupt, but Jian Mo's current status can be used, but she cannot be included in the game."

Zhou Liangqi poured a glass of wine, and it was unclear whether he had listened or not. "I know my limits."

"Wen Jing has several projects on hand that belong to our Zhou Group. He intends to hinder the development of the Huo Group and show goodwill to us. At this time, Wen Yuan is our best choice." Secretary Zhao continued.

"Don't I know what that old man Wen Jing is thinking? Let's wait and see." Zhou Liangqi paused, then said, "Help me make an appointment with Wen Yuan tonight, Castle in the Air."

"yes."

Zhou Liangqi called him, "Did Jian Mo go to the interview?"

"No, the Xu Xiaolin incident happened suddenly, and she applied for a postponement."

"Keep an eye on it."

Jian Mo did not go to the design company that offered her an olive branch. Firstly, she was delayed due to health reasons, and secondly, Qingying suddenly came to her and invited her to open a studio together.

"During this period of time, I have carefully studied your design style. Although it is very different from mine, I still appreciate the spirit in it." Qingying is Qingying, and she cannot change her style as a young lady. Even the person who invited her is so condescending.

Jian Mo looked at the documents she brought and was actually very interested in them, but she still had doubts. "You are the daughter-in-law of the Wen family. Do they allow you to show your face in public?"

When the Wen family was mentioned, a trace of discomfort flashed across Qingying's face. "They don't even care about Wen Qiushi, let alone me."

"I secretly saved this money and never dared to touch it, just so I could start my own business. If my family hadn't fallen, it would have been much bigger."

Jian Mo believed in her ability, "Why choose me?"

“You are affordable and cheap.”

She was quite direct, and Jian Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I mean, my current status is very embarrassing. If you cooperate with me, aren't you afraid that someone will be dissatisfied?"

Qingying looked away, knowing she was talking about Wen Yuan, "She has been dissatisfied with me for a long time, and this is not a big deal."

Jian Mo is still considering it. To be honest, she is very tempted. Qingying will provide the money and she will do the work. She is also promised 50% of the profits from the studio. The two of them working together as bosses is much more decent than being a social animal.

"There are not many people I trust now, Jian Mo. I never thought that you would be one of them." Qingying said this in a very cold tone.

"I'm honored." Jian Mo put away the documents. "Give me two days to think about it. I won't waste your time."

After finishing the conversation, Qingying picked up the coffee handed to her by the servant and looked around Mingyuan. The place was well-maintained and had a strong family atmosphere.

"Huo Qichen treats you very well." This is a declarative sentence.

"Whether it's good or not, only you know it."

Jian Mo stared at the scar on her wrist, thought about it, but still didn't ask.

"It seems someone's dream is about to be shattered." Qingying curled her lips, stood up and prepared to leave, but when she looked up, she saw a man walking towards her against the light.

He was tall and slender, wearing a white shirt. He unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves as he walked over. "Qingying."

"Brother Huo is back."

Huo Qi Chen hummed lightly and then looked at Jian Mo, asking.

"Qingying came to talk to me about work, I'm seeing her off." Jian Mo hurried forward and was grabbed by the man as she passed by. "Wait."

"There's dust on your forehead." Huo Qi Chen naturally pulled her, held her face and gently wiped it clean, with a tenderness that he couldn't fake.
