"There are no listening devices here, so you can talk without worry."
The prison guards and the interrogating police officers were all on Zhou Yi's side. Both sides were just going through the motions to keep the conversation a secret from the old shareholders, so naturally they wouldn't leak it out.
Zhou Yi could also confidently tell Aunt Zhou about the current situation of the Zhou Group.
After recounting the events that had transpired, Zhou Yi expressed his remorse and apologized.
"Auntie, it's been several days, and you've lost weight. It's a pity we can't reveal the evidence yet. There are still many people who haven't come to the surface, and we can't go back on our word."
"You've suffered a lot these past few days."
Aunt Zhou sat across from the iron bars, shook her head, and a relieved smile appeared on her lips: "This was originally our plan. I'm very pleased that you've been able to endure until now according to the plan."
"I had already made arrangements before I came in. Now I work nine to five here, which is much easier than when I was the CEO."
Zhou Yi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes resolute, and said, "Okay, we will definitely win. Tomorrow is the anniversary celebration!"
"Tomorrow will be the time for our counterattack."
"Auntie, just one more day! I'll submit the evidence tomorrow, and you can get out. Then we can catch them off guard!"
Aunt Zhou nodded, moved.
This moment.
She clearly realized that her Xiaoyi had really grown up.
He's truly capable of carrying the Zhou Group.
The two did not talk for too long in the visiting room. After leaving the visiting room, Zhou Yi put on a mask and sunglasses, making it impossible to read his expression.
Both the police station and the hospital have people arranged by the shareholders to monitor them, and there are people behind both sides. Especially at times like these, Zhou Yi must not show the slightest abnormality.
The following morning.
The moment Su Qingjiao stepped out of the basement and into the sunlight, she felt like a human being again.
Although the Zhou family's underground garage was large and bright, their basement was small and dark. Living in the underground garage for a long time would make you feel like everything was going dark.
Only natural light, a gentle breeze, and sunshine are a person's basic needs.
The Zhou family's annual ceremony started at 3 p.m., and Su Qingjiao had already asked her teacher for leave.
Although she knew Zhou Yi would never attend such banquets, Su Qingjiao felt her eyelids twitching violently for no apparent reason today.
After leaving the Zhou family villa, Su Qingjiao still took out her phone and called Zhou Yi.
Su Qingjiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhou Yi had answered her call.
Su Qingjiao asked in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Ayi, it's like this... Butler Cao asked me to ask you if you'll be at the ceremony today?"
"If you're going, which suit do you need to wear? She'll have the maid iron it for you beforehand."
There was a moment of silence on the other end. Su Qingjiao held her breath nervously, feeling as if a large hand had easily grasped her anxious heart, giving her a suffocating feeling of being on the verge of death.
"Tell Steward Cao that he doesn't need to prepare anything."
After hearing that Zhou Yi was confirming he wouldn't be going, Su Qingjiao slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Before she could ask any more questions, she heard the annoying caregiver's loud voice coming from the phone, which pierced through the phone like noise, causing Su Qingjiao to frown slightly.
"Young Master Zhou, the experts we invited from Kyoto have arrived."
"There will be a specialist consultation at 3 PM. You will need to fast and abstain from water before the surgery."
Although the caregiver's voice was unpleasant, after hearing what the caregiver said, Su Qingjiao completely dispelled her suspicions.
That's good. It seems Zhou Yi's condition is serious, and he definitely won't be able to attend the annual ceremony.
Su Qingjiao curled her lips and quickly hung up the phone.
I walked a kilometer to catch a bus, and then gritted my teeth and bought a simple and elegant evening gown on installment at a boutique in a shopping mall. The gown was made of white silk.
Su Qingjiao has lost some weight recently, revealing her delicate shoulder blades. The silk evening gown fits her body perfectly, and under the lights, it shows the pattern of water ripples, making her look noble and sexy.
"Miss, this evening gown is practically tailor-made for you."
"How can anyone wear this dress so well?"
"It would be even more dazzling if paired with a complete set of jewelry."
The shop assistant showered Su Qingjiao with compliments, and during the conversation, he made sure to recommend the store's expensive jewelry.
However, the price of just one evening gown was enough to push her to the maximum installment payment limit.
Su Qingjiao looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction. She was wearing a mask and sunglasses, so her face was not visible. She raised her chin and said, "Your jewelry is all off-brand. I don't find anything that catches my eye."
"If this evening gown weren't so beautiful, I wouldn't have bought it from your store."
Even though she was so poor that she had to pay in installments, Su Qingjiao still maintained her noble persona verbally.
The shop assistant, having seen many vain customers, did not expose Su Qingjiao's thoughts, but simply smiled and echoed her.
Su Qingjiao gritted her teeth and rented a luxury car from the rental company.
After getting into the luxury car, Su Qingjiao took off her mask, calmly took out a mask from her bag, and then put on a set of fake jewelry she had bought online.
Fake jewelry is made of plastic, feels very light, but looks no different from real jewelry.
If she weren't so broke, Su Qingjiao wouldn't have been so poor as to buy counterfeit goods online to pass them off as genuine.
However, the price of this evening gown has already maxed out all her bank accounts. If she doesn't repay the money on time in a month, she will be blacklisted.
But Su Qingjiao wasn't worried, because after today, the shareholders would give her a large sum of money.
Wearing such fine clothes again now, Su Qingjiao felt as if she had lived through another life, as if the days of swiping black cards, casually buying designer brands and cars were things that happened in a previous life.
Inside the luxury car, Su Qingjiao couldn't resist striking poses for photos.

[Caption: Every year, the Zhou family's annual celebration reminds me that I've grown another year older. Only during such celebrations might my parents, who usually don't come home for holidays, have time to fly back from abroad.]
She still kept Zhou Yi hidden and posted the meticulously edited photos on her WeChat Moments.
A few seconds later, Su Qingjiao's WeChat Moments was liked and commented on by her classmates, with a uniform sea of envious eyes.
Wow, the young lady looks so beautiful in the cat mask! (licks)
I also long for the life of a pampered princess, to experience what use cold, hard money is to me. What I want is love, it's love!
[Am I the only one who noticed that the young lady was riding in a luxury car? It was yet another luxury car we'd never seen before.]
【Miss, please take care of me! I'm very easy to take care of, meow~】
"Young lady, would you prefer this golden cat or this silver cat...?"
