Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun hit it off immediately.
If they could take the construction site canteen from Zhou Chen, they would accept it even if they didn't have to give up their dowry.
Working as a canteen worker on a construction site is a cushy job; you must be making a lot of money.
After the two agreed, Zhao Kun told Zhou Ling to call Zhou Chen immediately. This was called "courtesy first, then force." They were to discuss the matter with Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen agreed, everything would be easy, and they wouldn't go too far.
If Zhou Chen disagrees, they will take one last step: cause a disturbance at the construction site.
At that time, in order to save face, Zhou Chen would have no choice but to agree, whether he wanted to or not.
Zhou Ling took Zhao Kun's phone and dialed Zhou Chen's number again.
But after a short while, I heard a notification tone on the phone.
Zhou Ling was stunned; she couldn't get through.
"As long as the phone isn't turned off, you can call. I'll make the call."
Seeing this, Zhao Kun dialed the number himself, but soon he heard the same thing as before: the call could not be connected.
"Brother Kun, what's going on? We have a signal at home, so why can't we make a call?"
Zhou Ling looked puzzled.
Zhao Kun was equally puzzled, his brows furrowed. But the next second, he suddenly slapped his thigh, as if he had just realized something, and exclaimed, "I get it! Your brother must have blocked my phone number, that's why we can't call!"
“He…he blocked me?” Zhou Ling was stunned.
Zhao Kun nodded with absolute certainty: "That's right. I remembered that blocking has this function, so you can't receive calls from blocked numbers. It must be because you called him last time, and he didn't want you to bother him, so he blocked my number so that we can't contact him."
"Hmph, brother, you're really ruthless. You're heartless in both words and deeds. Don't think you can get rid of me like this. If you don't give the construction site canteen to my brother Kun, I'll go to the school, to the house, and to the construction site to wait for you."
Zhou Ling was furious after hearing this and had no intention of letting it go.
Her current goal is no longer her dowry. How can her dowry compare to the construction site canteen business? The canteen can generate a steady stream of income, and if done well, her whole family, including the baby in her womb, will benefit from it.
She hadn't thought about it before, but now that she had, she was determined to succeed.
"Brother Kun, let's go to the school to talk to him first at noon tomorrow. If he doesn't agree, then we'll go to the construction site."
Zhou Ling made a decision.
Zhao Kun had no objections. He couldn't wait to get his hands on the construction site canteen so he could be the boss and have a lot of face.
When his classmate told him that someone was looking for him outside of school, Zhou Chen was slightly taken aback.
Who is looking for him?
Is it Sister Li Juan? Or some fellow worker? Or perhaps your mentor?
Without asking any questions, Zhou Chen quickly put down his pen and ran out of the classroom.
When he arrived at the school gate and saw Ling and Zhao Kun, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been suddenly poured over his head.
"Brother, we're looking for you."
Zhou Ling suddenly smiled, her attitude surprisingly good, not at all rude.
Zhou Chen frowned subconsciously.
He didn't know what Zhou Ling was up to this time, but he wasn't surprised, since Zhou Ling's mood changed faster than flipping through a book.
"I have nothing to say to you."
Zhou Chen coldly retorted and turned to go back to the classroom. He didn't have time to deal with Zhou Ling, that ingrate.
"Brother-in-law, we have something important to discuss. Don't worry, we're not asking you for money," Zhao Kun hurriedly ran in front of Zhou Chen, his face beaming with smiles.
Zhou Chen couldn't figure out what these two, one an ingrate and the other a street thug, could do if they appeared together and didn't ask him for money.
"I'll give you one minute."
Zhou Chen said calmly, he wanted to hear the two people's true purpose.
Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun exchanged a glance. Finally, Zhou Ling stepped forward and said with a smile, "Big brother, I've thought it through. I don't want the dowry anymore. Mom and Dad really didn't leave much money. I was wrong before and acted out with you. I apologize to you."
Zhou Ling apologized to him?
Zhou Chen glanced sideways. What was this all about? Had the sun risen in the west?
He didn't think Zhou Ling had really changed because of her apology. On the contrary, he thought that this scene was probably a case of a weasel paying respects to a chicken, with no good intentions.
The facts were indeed as Zhou Chen had guessed.
Zhou Ling's tone suddenly changed, "I heard that you've taken over the construction site canteen. Kun and I discussed it, and we both agreed that it would seriously affect your studies if you were to run the canteen while attending school. To help ease your burden, you can hand over the canteen to Kun so you can focus on your studies."
Brother Kun said he can take some of his earnings to help with your tuition. You don't need to worry about not having money for school; Brother Kun and I will take care of that. What do you think, bro?
After saying that, Zhou Ling even made a cute face, trying to win over Zhou Chen.
At this moment, Zhou Chen was thinking to himself, "Wow!"
This is an upgrade! It's gone from version 1.0, where you used to rummage through your mother's family's pockets, to version 2.0.
No wonder she said she didn't want any dowry money and even apologized to him.
It turns out that everything was just a setup to take away his construction site canteen business.
Most importantly, they claim they're doing this for your own good, worried you won't have time to study or that you'll be too tired, so they're helping you make money.
Look how thoughtful that is.
The abacus was clattering so loudly you could hear it on the moon.
Zhou Ling, you really know your stuff when it comes to picking pockets.
"Big brother, please say something. Xiao Kun and I are truly thinking of you. We are all family, and as your younger sister, I want to share some of your burden."
Zhou Ling continued to act innocent and naive.
Zhou Chen quickly made a stop gesture; he couldn't listen to it anymore, he felt like vomiting.
vomit!
Zhou Chen actually gagged; he couldn't help it, he was genuinely disgusted.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized his third sister, Zhou Ling, was an absolute talent, the kind that no one could match. Because if she couldn't make you angry, she would find a way to disgust you to death.
Clearly, Zhou Ling succeeded in doing so.
"Big brother, what's wrong? You must be exhausted from studying and running the cafeteria, but it's okay, you can leave the cafeteria to Little Kun..."
Zhou Ling continued speaking with an air of self-righteousness.
Zhou Chen felt like vomiting after hearing that, and immediately shouted without any mercy, "Shut up!"
Zhou Ling was startled and immediately fell silent.
"Zhou Ling, I want you to be a normal person and stop acting like a fool, okay?"
Zhou Chen stared at Zhou Ling and said coldly, feeling utterly speechless. After all, she grew up in their family, how could she have turned out like this?
"Big brother, what do you mean?"
Zhou Ling could no longer laugh; after all, what Zhou Chen said wasn't pleasant to hear.
"Don't understand? Heh... That's right, with your IQ, it's indeed hard for you to understand. Let me put it bluntly: don't even dream about the construction site canteen business."
Zhou Chen glanced at the two of them, finished speaking, and entered the campus without looking back.
