There is no fixed time limit for how long he keeps people in custody. When he is in a good mood, he may be released after a few hours, but when he is in a bad mood, he may be released for a whole day.

Once, he accidentally broke a vase. It wasn't worth much, not a masterpiece; it was just a gift from someone. But he was still furious and had someone lock him up in a dark room for two days and one night. With his permission, the servants released him. When the door was opened, he seemed to see God and became dazed. Then he lost consciousness.

During those two days and one night, he didn't eat anything or drink any water. He really couldn't bear it and wanted to live so much, so he bit the mouse in the house to death and drank its blood.

After that incident, the old man became even more annoyed with him. He knew that it was because he drank the blood of a rat. He felt that he was sinister and cruel, and would do anything to survive. He began to be on guard against him.

He is sinister and cruel, and can do anything that breaks the bottom line of human beings. How can he be kind? A five-year-old child, in his hands, has to live and please everyone in the family, servants, and housekeepers every day. He is frightened every day, afraid that he will do something wrong and be punished.

There were some benefits after that incident. From then on, he no longer had to stay in the dark house and no longer had to face the fear of falling into darkness every day. He invented a new punishment: standing in the corner.

Standing against a wall for a minimum of two hours. You can't move at all while standing there. If you move, you'll have an extra hour.

This punishment ended when he was eighteen years old. The company suddenly faced a crisis, an unprecedented crisis. The old man came up with a solution, but the executor of this matter had to be an insider of their Zhou family. The method was not decent and had something to do with the law. People who were not close to the family would not be able to do it.

He struggled for a long time and finally set his sights on him. Why was he so entangled? Because from the beginning to the end, he never thought that if he let him join the company and kicked him out when he turned eighteen, the Zhou family would be able to completely get rid of this trouble. It was a perfect plan.

The matter was resolved perfectly according to his method, and the company successfully overcame the crisis.

He also showed up in the company completely. The old man was very good at pretending in front of outsiders. He once said in the company that rewards and punishments were clearly defined, and as long as you made contributions to the company, you could get a promotion and a raise.

So Zhou Yan successfully became a department manager with this.

A manager of a very small sales department has almost no power and his fixed monthly salary is a base salary of 5,000 plus commission.

On the day he took office, he specifically called him to his office and warned him.

The company has nothing to do with Zhou Yan anymore. This incident was an accident. If he behaves honestly and does his job well without any bad intentions, he can allow him to be a manager in the sales department. But if he does something tricky behind the scenes, he will never tolerate him.

From the age of eighteen to twenty-five, it took him seven years to climb from a small sales department manager to the position of general manager of the company. No one knew how much effort he had put in. Others just thought that he was gifted and was born to do this job. They easily wiped out his efforts and hard work with the word "natural intelligence".

During those seven years, he gave almost everything for the company. Out of the twenty-four hours a day, he would spend twenty hours on the company.

He has spent all his efforts on it. Why should he make sacrifices for them just because he uses the Zhou family's surname?

He seemed so kind? So kind that he would do harm to others?

Zhou Yan looked up at the old man in front of him who already looked very old. In fact, he was not very old. Perhaps he had worried too much over the years and could not withstand the ravages of time.

Zhou Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and spoke to him in that ambiguous tone for the first time.

"Grandpa, putting everything aside, I'm also your grandson, a member of the Zhou family. Didn't I say that even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. How can you be so cruel to treat me like that? You know what's going on with that daughter of the Wang family. If you really let her be your granddaughter-in-law, how could you, someone who values ​​face so much, tolerate others pointing fingers at you behind your back just because of a granddaughter-in-law? Don't you hate it most when others poke at you and abuse you? What? You're not afraid this time? Have you let it go, or are you getting older and think face isn't that important anymore?"

"How dare you! Who the hell do you think you are, talking to me like that?!!"

The old man's face gradually darkened as Zhou Yan spoke. When he finished his last sentence, he couldn't help it anymore. He picked up the teacup on the table and thrust it towards Zhou Yan fiercely!

Zhou Yan dodged to the side, but the tea still fell on his shoulder, along with the tea leaves, dripping down.

Zhou Yan turned his head to glance at the shoulders that were already wet and still covered with tea leaves, and curled his lips. It turned out that talking back to him could make him so angry. It was really an unexpected discovery.

The old man slammed the table angrily and started cursing at Zhou Yan. The three consecutive curses were enough to prove how angry he was.

Zhou Yan laughed softly, looking at the old man who was almost lost in anger because of him, feeling indescribably happy.
