Chapter 94: Postgraduate Study Ruined (27)

"Huo Jun, you have been plotting against the Zhou family for a long time! You did it on purpose! Right? You were waiting for this day, right?"
"Zhu Qingchen, you have been hooking up with Huo Jun for a long time, right? You and Huo Jun are in cahoots with each other! God bless you two!"
Huo Jun and Zhu Qingchen were not angry at all.
The two of them sat in their seats, smiling, looking at Zhou Ziqian seriously.
He was right, they were originally in the same group, and they had been struck by lightning long ago.
In the previous world of cultivating immortals.
What is there to be afraid of?
Zhou Ziqian was held down by several senior executives and shareholders. Seeing that they did not react, he cursed even more harshly.
"Zhu Qingchen, I was wondering why you always go against me. Have you been eyeing Huo Jun for a long time? A teacher at a poor university and an illegitimate child, you two are really a perfect match."
"But, Huo Jun, you don't know yet, right? Why is Zhu Qingchen so nice to Xia Shu? Of course, it's because he..."
Zhou Ziqian stopped talking before he could finish his words.
His whole face was knocked to one side. Huo Jun stood in front of him and loosened his wrist.
Zhou Ziqian opened his mouth and felt a tearing pain in his mouth.
His teeth scratched his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, he smelled a strong smell of blood.
Huo Jun looked down at him with a cold expression: "Keep your mouth shut, or I'll cancel the call and rip your tongue out."
Zhou Ziqian was frightened by his terrifying gaze. He shrank his neck and dared not speak anymore. He could only swallow the blood flowing from his mouth.
Zhou Ziqian is such a mean person. It's useless to say anything to him. He will only shut up if you punch him in the face.
Zhu Qingchen also stood up and walked forward, tugging at Huo Jun's sleeve.
It's okay to make harsh words, but we can't commit crimes in modern society.
Huo Jun restrained his expression and glanced at Mr. Zhou when he withdrew his gaze.
He was probably also frightened. He put his hands on his crutches and couldn't stop shaking. "Huo Jun, I don't want the shares anymore. I'll transfer them all to you. I'll also give you all your dividends. Don't call the police. Please, don't call the police."
Huo Jun ignored him and turned back to his seat.
Old Master Zhou was helped back to his chair, his lips moving and he couldn't stop murmuring: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, I'll give you all the money, the shares, the group, just don't sue us..." Of course he didn't know he was wrong, but he was afraid of going to the police station.
Not long after, the police arrived.
There were dozens of shareholder executives, plus employees present, nearly a hundred people in total.
We couldn’t bring all of them back to the police station, so we had to open another office and conduct some simple inquiries.
Everyone said basically the same thing.
Mr. Zhou held a shareholders' meeting today. He originally wanted to return to the company and squeeze Huo Jun out.
As a result, Huo Jun uncovered the old events from thirty years ago and also exposed his malicious intentions to plot against the entire group.
The shareholders and executives were outraged and called the police.
The Zhou family's grandfather and grandson wanted to run away, but maybe there were too many people at the time, and when they were holding them down, they accidentally bumped into them.
But it was definitely not intentional.
Mr. Zhou sat obediently in the chair, without any injury.
Zhou Ziqian spoke rudely and wanted to hit someone, but was injured by their counterattack.
But it wasn't serious, just a punch, not even up to the threshold for injury assessment.
After basically understanding what happened, the police removed the surveillance footage from the conference room, asked Huo Jun for copies of relevant documents, and then took the Zhou family's grandfather and grandson back to the station.
Huo Jun and Zhu Qingchen sent them downstairs and also appointed another lawyer to follow up on the matter.
The police reminded: "Remember to keep your phone open. We will contact you at any time if necessary."
Huo Jun nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, take care."
Mr. Zhou was so frightened that he accepted the arrangement stupidly and sat in the back seat of the police car, quietly and motionlessly.
Zhou Ziqian was full of energy and wanted to curse, but the police held him down, stuffed him into the car, and sat him with his grandfather.
After sending the police away, Huo Jun and Zhu Qingchen looked at each other.
Zhu Qingchen asked: "Where is Zhou Ziqian's father? It seems like I've never seen him before."
Huo Jun said calmly: "A fellow who looks exactly like Zhou Ziqian. He is probably still sleeping in some place. The police will go find him."
"Yeah." Zhu Qingchen nodded.
The two men returned to the top-floor conference room together, and the shareholder executives reunited.
Huo Jun sat down at the front and said calmly, "Only by getting rid of the bad apples can the group get better and better."
Several shareholders nodded in agreement and did not object.
Huo Jun announced the future development direction of the group.
"Although it was Zhou Ziqian who did it, it is difficult for the public not to be angry at the Zhou Group. We should be humble and sincere and issue a statement to apologize to the public."
"Of course, we won't take the blame if it's not our fault. We only apologize for Zhou Ziqian abusing his power for personal gain and trying to undermine the fairness of the internship. That is to say, although we tried our best to prevent and ensure fairness and justice in the internship, we still couldn't stop Zhou Ziqian from making up rumors. The group will strengthen management and move forward from a family business to a modern enterprise as soon as possible."
"In addition, a portion of the funds will be set aside to establish a foundation to provide financial assistance to poor students as compensation. Please supervise the public."
Just as several shareholders were about to speak, Huo Jun raised his hand and said, "I know that the group is going through a difficult time right now, but this money must be spent. It has to be spent."
This is a necessary measure to regain the goodwill of society.
"And..." He turned to look at his assistant, "Go buy some trending searches, like 'Zhou Group executives fighting', 'Zhou family grandfather and grandson taken away by police', 'Zhou Group major changes'. Arrange them all."
Everyone loves to watch excitement, let alone something as big as a fight between senior executives?
First attract people in, and then tell them that the culprit Zhou's grandfather and grandson have been taken away for investigation, and the Zhou Group will have nothing to do with them soon, which can also restore their goodwill to a certain extent.
that is……
Someone hesitated and asked, "Boss Huo, wouldn't it be too embarrassing to tell others about the fight between the executives?"
Huo Jun thought for a moment and said, "Executives who don't want their names revealed can tell me their names privately. The news will just say 'Executives of Zhou Group (excluding Lao Zhang) participated in the fight.'"
Old Zhang who was speaking: “…”
How can this be called not exposing one's name?
This is clearly a revealing name in bold and capital letters!
Old Zhang compromised: "Forget it, anyway, things have come to this, and the one who got into the fight was Zhou Ziqian, so his reputation won't be any worse than his."
All executives agreed and voted unanimously in favor of the proposal, and the public relations department immediately took action.
The villain system said to Huo Jun: "You are a natural villain."
Huo Jun did not answer, but turned to look at Zhu Qingchen: "Teacher Zhu seems quite happy."
Zhu Qingchen laughed foolishly and shook his body: "Yes."
He was happy to see the Zhou family suffer misfortune.
*
Fortunately, Huo Jun has no relationship with the Zhou family.
Mr. Zhou had always been on guard against him and had never publicly acknowledged that Huo Jun was his son. They had no legal relationship and Huo Jun's household registration booklet clearly stated that his father was unknown.
The Zhou family's property had nothing to do with Huo Jun, and there were no unclear debts.
Mr. Zhou and his father had been misappropriating other people's shares and dividends for more than ten years, and the money they owed Huo Jun was simply a astronomical figure.
In addition, the Zhou family had been expelled by the group's small shareholders due to serious faults, and they had no share in the group.
Mr. Zhou also wanted to take advantage of the time by selling the car and house under his name and transferring the money to relatives to leave a way out for Zhou Ziqian.
Whenever the court ordered him to pay back the money, he would say he had no money and ask the court to enforce it.
Anyway, he is an old man with Alzheimer's disease, and the people in the court dare not touch him.
As a result, the next day, Huo Jun’s lawyer came to the house with court staff.
The Zhou family refused to cooperate. In order to protect Huo Jun’s property safety, the court had to take compulsory measures and freeze all of the Zhou family’s property.
Even the estate they currently live in must be moved out.
They are allowed to take away some daily necessities, but of course, they are limited to daily necessities.
On the day of moving out of the manor, Zhou Ziqian carried a large bag, pushed a suitcase with one hand, and supported the somewhat dazed old man Zhou with the other hand, and walked out of the manor slowly.
Mr. Zhou leaned on his cane, lowered his head, and muttered, "I was wrong... Huo Jun, I was wrong, don't sue me..."
Zhou's father, who had never been seen before, was walking in front carrying something. He turned his head suddenly and said, "Huo Jun is not here. Who are you acting for? It's only the early stage, not the late stage. Stop pretending!"
Mr. Zhou trembled when he was yelled at. Zhou Ziqian hugged him and said sternly: "What qualifications do you have to say these things? You didn't spend the family's money?"
Father Zhou sneered, "Yes, yes, yes, I spent it all. Your grandfather's living in this manor was a gift from heaven, the money you spent on playing cards, drinking and eating ducks was also a gift from heaven, and the money I spent on buying your navy was also a gift from heaven."
He didn't say anything, and Zhou's father almost forgot he had this son.
"You're fine. If you like men, forget it. Why don't you just find a duck to play with in the place? Who told you to mess with that Xia Shu? Who told you to mess with Huo Jun? I'm living a good life, but I was dragged into this by you two. Do I deserve it? Do I owe you?"
"Who told you not to take care of the company's affairs? If you were in charge of the company, how could Huo Jun, a bastard, ride on our heads? If you were like Huo Jun, spending all day in the company, how could he take the company away from you?"
The family came to the roadside, carrying large and small bags, while fighting each other.
The manor where Mr. Zhou lives is in the suburbs, very remote.
Father Zhou angrily ordered his son: "Why don't you hurry up and call a car? We are in the middle of nowhere, why don't we just walk back?"
Zhou Ziqian took out his cell phone and was about to call a ride-hailing car, but he didn't know where the destination was.
He also said in a cold and hard tone: "Where are you going?"
Father Zhou got angry: "How would I know where to go? The whole house is sealed off, where do you think we should go?"
Zhou Ziqian had no choice but to call his friends: "Hello..."
Liu Hao on the other end of the phone responded: "Who is it?"
Because he had something to ask of someone, Zhou Ziqian unconsciously slowed down his tone, but his words were still exactly the same as before: "It's me, Liu Hao, come and pick me up..."
But this time, Liu Hao did not respond with a cheerful "Okay" as he did before.
He yelled, "Get lost! Just because of you, just because I spoke up for you, Xia Shu wants to sue me for spreading rumors!"
"Did you say that Xia Shu was pestering you? Did you say that Xia Shu was shamelessly trying to make peace with you? You just made up a bunch of nonsense and got me sued. Are you mentally ill?"
"We don't care about you at all. We treat you like shit. You just said nonsense for the sake of face and hurt a group of us. Get out!"
Liu Hao was the little internet celebrity who, at the beginning, was trying to gain popularity by posting videos showing beatings.
He just couldn't figure it out. It was clearly Zhou Ziqian who told them everything. He was just adding fuel to the fire and spreading what Zhou Ziqian said. Why did Xia Shu sue him?
He can't scold Xia Shu, but can't he scold Zhou Ziqian?
Zhou Ziqian actually wanted me to pick him up. He was crazy.
Zhou Ziqian shamelessly cursed at him, then hung up the phone and called a friend.
"open……"
As a result, before he could even call out his name, the other party hung up the phone, leaving him with only a busy tone.
Zhou Ziqian continued to make the call.
The family had to find a place to stay.
Otherwise, the suburbs are so far away, do they have to walk back?
As a result, he looked through his entire phone address book, but there was no one who wanted to pick him up.
Either they hung up the phone as soon as they heard his voice, or they scolded him like Liu Hao and drew a clear line with him.
Finally, someone said they could pick him up.
Zhou Ziqian rekindled his hope, found a flower bed by the roadside, sat down, and waited quietly.
Whenever a car came from the opposite direction, he would stand up and look, but they were not there to pick him up.
An hour later, Zhou Ziqian finally understood——
He was fooled.
Maybe this group of people were gathered together, laughing at and making fun of his ugly behavior.
Zhou Ziqian could almost imagine their tone.
"Did you really promise him?"
"It's just a promise. Did you really say you're going?"
"Let him wait. We'll drive over later to see if he's still waiting there."
Just like when they gathered together to laugh at Xia Shu.
In his imagination, everyone burst into laughter, and the sharp laughter almost pierced Zhou Ziqian's eardrums.
He was so angry that he wanted to smash the phone on the ground, but then he remembered that his family was broke and if he smashed the phone, he would have no money to buy a new one.
Zhou's father mocked him, but he was too lazy to pay attention.
Suddenly, he thought of someone.
By the way, Xu Xi!
Not long ago, he gave Xu Xi a house and a car. Xu Xi loved him so much that she definitely couldn't bear to see him living on the streets.
Zhou Ziqian immediately called Xu Xi: "Hey, Xiao Xu, I remember I bought you a large flat with several rooms, right?"
It was noon, but Xu Xi seemed to be still asleep. He drowsily responded, "Who is it?"
Zhou Ziqian ignited a glimmer of hope: "It's me, Zhou Ziqian."
"Oh, Mr. Zhou." Xu Xi smiled, "What's the matter?"
"My grandfather and I have no place to live for now, come and take me..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Xi yawned and responded, "Are you sure? Mr. Zhou, this is my house."
"I know, but I don't have anywhere to go..."
"You have no place to live, what does it have to do with me? Our contract for playing with you ended in July. Since you gave me a car and a house, I won't bother with you for smashing my car and phone last time."
"What?" Zhou Ziqian was shocked, "You...you don't like me?"
Xu Xi almost laughed out loud: "I didn't tell you at the beginning that you spend money and I play with you. We also signed a contract and the whole process was recorded. What are you thinking?"
"Xia Shu doesn't want your money, but you insist that he is materialistic. I am just a hired playmate, and you think I am your true love. Are you okay? If you don't have money, you can also be a playmate. Maybe you are like me..."
Zhou Ziqian was furious. He hung up the phone and called the police: "Hey, I want to turn myself in. I moved a car and a house before my assets were frozen. Come and check it out quickly!"
Zhou Ziqian reported the address to the police, hung up the phone, and sat dejectedly on the side of the road.
Xu Xi's words echoed in his ears——
"Xia Shu doesn't want your money, but you insist that he is materialistic; I am just a hired playmate, and you think I am your true love."
Zhou Ziqian covered his head and felt a splitting headache.
It was wrong from the beginning. He shouldn't have played with Xia Shu's feelings from the beginning.
Now, he was also teased by Xu Xi.
*
On the day when the Zhou family moved out of the manor and didn't know where to go, the Xia family was in high spirits.
Xia Chi's body has basically recovered and he can be discharged from the hospital.
They didn't have time to thank Zhu Qingchen and Huo Jun for their help to their family, as Xia's parents happened to be planning on inviting them to dinner at home today.
At five o'clock in the evening, the group got off work on time, and Zhu Qingchen and Huo Jun prepared to go to the Xia family.
As soon as he went downstairs, Zhu Qingchen saw a man standing in front of the door of the hall, looking around.
The system was puzzled: "Why did he come to you?"
Zhu Qingchen shook his head: "I don't know either."
At this moment, Xu Xi also saw him and waved to him: "Teacher Zhu!"
Zhu Qingchen smiled at him, then turned to look at Huo Jun: "How about we split up, Mr. Huo goes to drive the car, and I go to get the flowers and cake?"
They can't go to visit someone empty-handed.
Huo Jun said calmly: "He originally took a house and a car from Zhou Ziqian, but he signed the contract but the property has not been transferred yet. Zhou Ziqian reported him today."
"I guess it's not good news for you. I'll ask my assistant to drive the car and ask him to come into the hall. If you have anything to say, please say it in front of me and Teacher Zhu."
"Okay." Zhu Qingchen waved to Xu Xi and asked him to come in.
Xu Xi immediately pushed the door open and came in, looking aggrieved: "Teacher Zhu, you have to make the decision for me!"
Zhu Qingchen deliberately asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Zhou Ziqian..."
"Come and sit down and talk."
The group sat down on the sofa in the lobby, and the front desk brought three glasses of sparkling water.
As soon as Xu Xi sat down, he began to complain: "Teacher Zhu, you don't know, I followed Zhou Ziqian for a few months, and he gave me a house and a car, but he turned around and reported me, and asked the police to take the house and car away."
"I don't even have a place to live now, and I can't afford to eat. What do you think I should do? Can Teacher Zhu help me?"
Zhu Qingchen pursed his lips and asked, "Are you sure that's your house and car?"
"Of course..." Xu Xi paused, "How can it not be mine? I signed the contract, he took it away by force."
Zhu Qingchen asked back: "Since you said you are a serious playmate, then you should get the salary you deserve. The house and car should not be included in your salary, right?"
"I..." Xu Xi tried to get away with it, put on a smile again, and looked at Zhu Qingchen, "Teacher Zhu, you also know about this?"
He held Zhu Qingchen's hand: "That's easy. I really have no money and can't even afford to eat. Since you are so familiar with Mr. Huo, can you help me get my car and house back? You must know other rich people, right? Can you introduce them to me? Or are you a rich person yourself? Do you need..."
Zhu Qingchen quickly withdrew his hand.
Huo Jun said nothing, walked forward silently, separated Zhu Qingchen and Xu Xi, and his cold eyes made Xu Xi speechless.
Oh my god, Zhu Qingchen was wondering why he suddenly came to his house. It turned out that he wanted him to help introduce customers?
How could he even open his mouth to say that!
Zhu Qingchen looked at him seriously from across from Mr. Huo, and acted like a teacher: "Don't be so frivolous and talk nonsense."
Seeing that he was serious, Xu Xi quickly restrained his expression and sat up straight.
Zhu Qingchen said, "I wanted to tell you the last time we met. Since you said playing with others is a serious job, how could you not even have enough to eat? Since you can't even have enough to eat, why don't you leave Zhou Ziqian early and find another way out? Why do you have to play pitiful in front of Xia Shu?"
Xu Xi couldn't say it.
"I'll answer for you." Zhu Qingchen looked at him steadily, "Because you are not at the point where you can't even afford to eat, because you not only want to eat and drink well, but also want a car, a house and luxury goods."
"You want Zhou Ziqian to give you money, but you're also worried that Xia Shu will fight back and bring Zhou Ziqian down, so you want to please both sides and not offend either side."
Xu Xi defended herself, "I just want a car and a house. I just don't want to be hated. What did I do wrong? It wasn't me who hurt Xia Shu. It was Zhou Ziqian. Zhou Ziqian asked me to send those text messages and photos. They have nothing to do with me."
Zhu Qingchen said seriously: "You can want whatever you want, but you have to be down-to-earth. What you earn bit by bit is yours."
"You tried to please Zhou Ziqian, and you tried to get close to Xia Shu. You thought you were good at everything, but what happened? The car and house you worked so hard to get were taken away. You got nothing."
"Do you think everyone in the world is as gullible as Zhou Ziqian? Even if he was deceived by you, what did you get? Even if he signed a contract with you, you were still tricked by him."
"You are very smart, but only in a small way. Why can't you be like Xia Shu, be down-to-earth and earn what you want little by little?"
"You didn't listen to what I said to you last time."
Xu Xi's voice became smaller and smaller: "I'm not as smart as Xia Shu, nor do I have his perseverance. Teacher Zhu, please stop talking. I'm just lazy and want to make quick money."
"Then have you made some quick money? You've been a playmate for so many years, have you saved any money?" Zhu Qingchen understood, "I'm afraid not. If you really made some money, you wouldn't be in such a hurry to come to me."
Xu Xi blushed when Zhu Qingchen said this.
That's true.
Being a playmate in the place is a complete bottomless pit.
Those rich people are not fools. Even Zhou Ziqian knows to be on guard against him.
He spends all his salary as soon as it comes in every month, and occasionally has to borrow from his credit card.
He just... got used to the life of extravagance and can never go back.
Xu Xi lowered his head, not daring to meet Zhu Qingchen's eyes.
Zhu Qingchen asked again: "Have you ever thought that the fact that you were able to save yourself this time was purely out of luck?"
"If Xia Shu is a confused person, and he turns around and reconciles with Zhou Ziqian as soon as Zhou Ziqian asks for peace, and is sweet and sweet with Zhou Ziqian, what will happen to you?"
"If Zhou Ziqian's attempt to use you to provoke Xia Shu is really successful, and he and Xia Shu reconcile, what do you think he will do to you? Will he kill you to please Xia Shu?"
"You're lucky that only your house and car were taken away, and you didn't suffer any other losses. How dare you come to me to help you?"
Xu Xi opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Only after Zhu Qingchen told him the truth did he feel a sense of fear.
Just at this time, Xia Shu also finished his work for the day and took the elevator to the first floor.
Xu Xi wanted to step forward and play the victim, but subconsciously looked at Zhu Qingchen's expression: "Teacher Zhu..."
Zhu Qingchen said seriously: "Xia Shu's mental state has not been very good. If you dare to provoke him under the banner of 'I am innocent too' again, I will not just say a few words to you."!
