The Li family is involved in many industries, including catering, hotels, and some trade and export. Although they are not as famous as the Li family in Hong Kong, they are still quite well-known.
Zhou Chen already knew this information from the materials Tang Wu had brought back earlier.
Right now, the Li family has really given him half of all their business shares, and even Zhou Chen is not at peace with it.
There were no problems with the share transfer agreement. Before coming here, Zhou Chen had discussed this matter with Su Jiajia, who mentioned potential pitfalls. Zhou Chen did not find any of these in the contract and signed it.
After settling the matter, Li Meihui extended an invitation to dinner, but Zhou Chen politely declined. After all, he had taken a piece of the pie from the Li family, and it would feel strange to eat their food again.
After leaving the Li family,
Instead of returning to the hotel, Zhou Chen went to a prison on Hong Kong Island based on the information provided by Li Meihui.
He was going to visit someone.
Of course, he knew that the other person also wanted to see him; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent a message through Li Meihui.
After some communication with Uncle Hat,
In the meeting room, Zhou Chen saw a middle-aged man dressed in prison clothes, Zhou Haide.
In fact, he had only met Zhou Haide twice, and one of those meetings ended badly.
When Zhou Chen saw Zhou Haide again, he found that Zhou Haide had become much more dejected, his spirits were low, and his hair had turned quite gray. This was probably due to the blow caused by the failure of his plans over the past ten years.
"I planned everything, but I never expected that I would end up being brought down by you."
Zhou Haide picked up the phone, and the two spoke first, separated by glass.
Clearly, Zhou Haide knew the truth behind why he had been seen through, and that Zhou Chen had provided crucial information behind it all.
There's a saying that goes, "Man proposes, God disposes." Actually, if you just stay in Hong Kong and don't bother me, I won't bother with you.
Zhou Chen didn't show any victor's attitude. Just as he said, if Zhou Haide hadn't provoked him, he really wouldn't have done anything to Zhou Haide, much less sent Tang Wu to investigate and happen to catch Zhou Haide's weakness.
It can only be said that Zhou Haide brought this upon himself by trying to take over Zhou Chen's business, and Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
When this matter was brought up, Zhou Haide's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that his secret wasn't discovered by the Li family themselves, but rather by Zhou Chen.
"Unfortunately, even if I regret it, it's too late. I underestimated you. I thought you would lose the bet, but you not only didn't lose, you won. I have one more question. Can you answer it for me?"
Zhou Haide first shook his head and sighed, but his expression suddenly became serious when he said the last sentence.
Zhou Chen neither refused nor agreed, remaining silent.
Zhou Haide tacitly acknowledged Zhou Chen's agreement and then asked the question that had been nagging at him: "If Snapdragon hadn't proposed a bet with you on the foreign shares, would you still have bought those shares?"
oh?
Zhou Chen was slightly surprised. He thought that what Zhou Haide wanted to ask most was related to himself, but he didn't expect it to be this question.
"meeting."
Zhou Chen nodded. He certainly wouldn't miss out on that stock. For him, Li Xiaolong's proposed bet was just a side benefit, a bonus.
Li Xiaolong is essentially throwing his life away.
"Just as I thought."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Haide sighed deeply, realizing something in his heart. When he looked at Zhou Chen again, his eyes became very complicated. "I don't know how you managed to get in touch with those big capital movements in advance, but being able to do this proves that Xiaolong's loss was not unjust. Zhou Chen, I wish I had a son as capable as you. I, Zhou Haide, would rather be an ordinary person."
Zhou Chen: "..."
Are you even polite? Who wants to be the son of an ungrateful old man?
"Zhou Chen, how about you become my son-in-law? I'll marry Zhou Na to you."
"She is a little selfish, but not as bad as Zhou Ling."
Zhou Haide suddenly made a shocking statement that nearly scared Zhou Chen to death: asking Zhou Na to marry him? What a joke!
Zhou Haide's thought process is truly bizarre.
"You're completely insane."
Zhou Chen rarely swears, but the fact that Zhou Haide was going to be his father-in-law really put Zhou Chen on edge.
"Aren't you really going to reconsider?"
“Zhou Na grew up in your family, so you know each other well. Her marriage to you is a way of repaying a debt of gratitude. As long as you agree, I won’t care if you beat or scold her in the future.”
Zhou Haide's words once again challenged Zhou Chen's nerves.
Is this some kind of repayment of a debt of gratitude?
It was clearly revenge!
Zhou Chen's lips twitched several times. He felt it was necessary to suggest to Uncle Hat that people with mental problems should be sent to mental hospitals, not locked up in prison.
Compared to prison, a mental hospital was a better fit for Zhou Haide.
well!
Zhou Haide saw Zhou Chen's strong resistance, sighed, and said, "Fine, since you're not interested, I can't force you. However, if you change your mind, you can come to me anytime. My door is always open for you. I really think highly of you, kid. Xiao Na will definitely be good to be with you."
Damn it...
Zhou Chen didn't want to stay a moment longer. Zhou Haide was a complete oddball, and he really regretted coming to see him; he had only made himself miserable.
After the prison visit ended quickly,
As Zhou Chen walked out of the prison gates, he still felt nauseous. Zhou Haide was insane to think of having Zhou Na marry him!
Not to mention that Zhou Na was an ingrate in his eyes,
Dandan, Zhou Na grew up in his family, and he treated her like a younger sister, never having any romantic feelings for her.
If this were...
Zhou Chen quickly shook his head, unable to imagine it, and felt goosebumps rise on his skin.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Even if Zhou Chen remained a bachelor for the rest of his life, he would never set his sights on Zhou Na.
“Zhou Haide, it was the prison that saved you. If you hadn’t been locked up inside, I would have personally beaten you up.”
"You disgust me."
Zhou Chen was truly disgusted by Zhou Haide's antics. He didn't want to stay in Hong Kong Island for even a moment longer and immediately asked Su Jiajia to buy him a plane ticket so he could return to the mainland.
That evening,
Zhou Chen then arrived in Yanjing from Hong Kong Island. Since the school dormitory was closed, Zhou Chen checked into a hotel near Yanjing University.
But when she was sleeping, the scene of meeting Zhou Haide would reappear in her mind.
This gave Zhou Chen a real headache.
at the same time,
Zhou Na sat in front of her computer, browsing a post about what kind of wife Zhou Chen, a young and promising man, would marry in the future, and which girl would be so lucky, reading through the numerous comments one by one.
Many girls have openly and boldly expressed that they want to marry Zhou Chen.
Including the fact that she had heard more than once at school that female classmates wanted Zhou Chen's contact information.
"Even without Zhou Haide, I will surpass you with my own abilities."
Suppressing her complex emotions, Zhou Na talked to herself in front of the computer, then shut it down and went to bed.
