Whoosh!
As soon as Zhou Ling finished speaking, Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly flashed.
Two streaks of cold light shot out.
To threaten him with ruining his reputation to force him to submit and compromise is utterly despicable and vicious.
Even though he had witnessed Zhou Ling's ungrateful side in his past life, he had never seen her so shameless.
If she can say something like that, what is there that Zhou Ling wouldn't dare to do?
"What are you trying to do? Are you going to hit me?"
Zhou Ling was startled by Zhou Chen's gaze. Her pupils contracted sharply, and thinking that Zhou Chen was about to hit her, she subconsciously took a step back.
Zhou Chen had slapped her before; he had slapped her face without hesitation in front of everyone at the construction site.
I still remember it vividly.
But soon, she was no longer afraid. If Zhou Chen dared to hit her in broad daylight, she would call the police and have Zhou Chen taken to the station.
Besides, she has her second sister Zhou Na as her backer, so how could she tolerate Zhou Chen's arrogance?
Seemingly having come up with a good idea, Zhou Ling was not only unafraid, but even more arrogant. She took two steps forward and shouted, "If you don't get Fourth Brother out of the police station, I'll expose all your ruthless deeds. Anyway, it's you who will lose face. If you don't believe me, let's try. You can hit me, but see if I'm scared."
After saying that, Zhou Ling raised her proud neck, believing that Zhou Chen would definitely compromise, and even if he was angry, he would have to obediently listen to them.
Unless Zhou Chen doesn't care about his reputation and doesn't attend a high school.
"Hit you? Heh..." Faced with Zhou Ling's blatant threat, Zhou Chen suddenly sneered, staring directly at Zhou Ling, and continued, "Hitting you would only dirty my hands. Do you think I'll be scared and that you've got me cornered?"
Seeing Zhou Chen's reaction, Zhou Ling was stunned. Did Zhou Chen really not care?
No!
Impossible. Zhou Chen must be bluffing and pretending not to care.
Zhou Ling, who believed she had Zhou Chen figured out, said without any pretense, "That's right, I've got you cornered. Either you go to the police station and get your fourth brother out, or you lose your reputation. I'll tell everyone and ruin your name. You were the one who was ruthless first, so don't blame me for being unjust!"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling, who thought herself wise, had just finished speaking when...
Zhou Chen suddenly burst into laughter, but the smile on his face vanished instantly. He said coldly, "Fine, I'll wait for you, Zhou Ling, to spread rumors about me all over the world. Today, I'm telling you right here: don't even dream about me trying to get Zhou Chuan out of here. It's absolutely impossible!"
Whether Zhou Chuan lives or dies is none of his business.
You, Zhou Ling, are trying to threaten me? I don't care.
If you have the ability, go around spreading the word. Zhou Chen is upright and has nothing to fear.
Do you really think he's easily scared?
"you……"
Zhou Ling's eyes widened suddenly. She never expected that Zhou Chen would be so fearless. She could even see a "do whatever you want" expression in Zhou Chen's eyes.
"Get out of the way!"
You're blocking my way!
Faced with Zhou Chen's failed threat, Zhou Ling was both angry and helpless. She could only glare at him and walked away, extremely annoyed.
Clearly, today's conversation broke down.
Watching Zhou Chen walk away,
Zhou Ling couldn't help but cast a reproachful glance at Zhou Na, "Second sister, why didn't you say anything just now? If you had spoken up and let him see our determination, he might have given in."
“He won’t compromise. He’s not the Zhou Chen he used to be. He now sees us as strangers, or even enemies. Threatening him will only provoke him.”
As the most mature person, Zhou Na saw things more clearly and knew that from the moment Zhou Ling uttered those threatening words, the conversation was destined to fail.
Judging from Zhou Chen's behavior after her drastic personality change, she no longer tolerates the three of them at all.
Besides, this whole thing was Zhou Chuan's fault. If he were to go around telling everyone, it would be like offering his face up to be slapped. Wouldn't that just be asking for embarrassment?
Zhou Na discovered that her younger sister was indeed too simple-minded, and never considered the consequences of her words and actions.
"Stop thinking about getting Fourth Brother out of here. Let him stay in there for the full seven days. Consider it a lesson for him. I told you two long ago not to bother him, lest people look down on you. But neither of you listened and insisted on going anyway. Consider it a lesson learned."
"Also, you'd better give up on the idea of spreading rumors about him. This matter ends here, and no one should pursue it any further."
Zhou Na put the matter to rest, not wanting to get involved. She especially reminded Zhou Ling not to spread rumors. The three of them were adopted daughters and sons of the Zhou family. Even if things weren't good, they were raised by Zhou Chen's parents. If they smeared Zhou Chen everywhere and things got out of hand, it wouldn't be Zhou Chen who would be embarrassed, but the three of them.
At that time, the resulting turmoil would only be more detrimental to them.
Compared to Zhou Ling's love-struck mind and Zhou Chuan's recklessness, Zhou Na is definitely the most intelligent and thoughtful among the three siblings. It was precisely because she realized that Zhou Ling's recklessness would likely lead to an unfavorable situation that she dissuaded Zhou Ling from having this idea in advance.
However,
Zhou Na was unaware that she thought she had stopped Zhou Ling from ruining Zhou Chen's reputation, but little did she know that Zhou Ling had only agreed verbally and did not intend to give up.
Zhou Chen is too arrogant; she taught someone else how to make stinky tofu, stealing her business.
Now they've even got her fourth brother, who stood up for her, arrested.
How could she let it go?
"Second sister, if you don't stand up for fourth brother and want to settle things quietly, I'm sorry, I can't do that."
“My fourth brother hit someone because of me. As his third sister, how could I just stand by and do nothing?”
"Since Zhou Chen isn't afraid of people finding out, I want to see if he's really not afraid or just pretending. I don't believe that once people know about his cold-heartedness, they can still get along with him as usual."
Zhou Ling watched Zhou Na's figure gradually disappear into the distance, talking to herself.
Construction site canteen
Encountering Zhou Na and Zhou Ling, two ungrateful wretches, definitely affected Zhou Chen's mood.
Fortunately, after arriving at the construction site canteen and chatting with his fellow workers and mentor Xu Laoqi, the situation was mediated again.
Regarding the establishment of the company and bringing Zhang Dafu and others into the team,
When Zhou Chen went outside to chat with Xu Laoqi alone, he took the initiative to say that there weren't many people he could share with, and his master, Xu Laoqi, was definitely one of them.
"Well done, I never thought my apprentice would become a big boss."
You will definitely succeed.
"Master believes in you."
One good thing about Xu Laoqi is that he encourages people, and it comes from the bottom of his heart.
This is the main reason why Zhou Chen was willing to be honest about some things.
While the master and apprentice chatted idly...
In his office a few hundred meters away, Sun Liancheng learned from his daughter, Sun Wanying, that Zhou Chen had established a stinky tofu food company.
