"A lot has happened in our courtyard recently, and I heard about it from Uncle Lin."
"First of all, the Guo family is certainly not that simple. The reason they have such a large business is not only because of Guo Jianjun and Zhang Tingting's extraordinary abilities, but also because of their very strong vision and strategic planning."
"That's what I have to admire. I've heard a lot about Guo Jinyou lately, so I've naturally learned a bit about the Guo family."
“I’ve seen all of the Guo family’s projects, and they’re all very forward-thinking. I wouldn’t believe it if no one had pointed it out to me.”
If Guo Jianjun and Zhang Tingting were here and knew what he was thinking, they could only say, "You have good taste," since who would have guessed they were time travelers?
"And then there are Mom and Dad. Their family situation is complicated now. They're related to the Lin and Xia families through marriage."
"Uncle Lin specifically talked to me about this matter this time, which may not be without the intention of reminding me."
“Even if we don’t care about other people, we should at least consider Uncle Lin’s feelings and not act like this on the surface.”
Hearing his second son say this, Han's father was very satisfied. Zhiqiang's vision and perspective were second to none, both in his own family and in the clan.
Mr. Han said with satisfaction, "Zhiqiang is right. Since your Uncle Lin brought this up with you, he must want to resolve it properly."
"Don't bother with Guo Jinyou and the others. Alright, let's just let this matter go."
“We’re not petty people, so we can’t make things difficult for them. I understand what Lao Lin means.”
“Wang Zhao, I know that people around you compare you to Guo Jinyou, but you shouldn’t care.”
Hearing this, Wang Zhao knew that he was being targeted. He was worried that he might cause trouble or argue with Guo Jinyou, which would offend the Guo family and create a rift with the Lin family.
"Dad, don't worry, I understand. Of course I have to think about my own family."
Han's father nodded, also satisfied.
Han Minjia was not in a good mood. She understood now that, in the end, she was still inferior to Qi Jing, which made her even more depressed.
"Mom, it's not over yet, who knows what life will be like? Try to relax," Han Zhiqiang advised.
"Well, I'll listen to you, you've always been a person of your own mind," Han Minjia sighed.
Han Zhichao sighed inwardly, thinking how capable his younger brother was. No matter what he said, it was no use, but as soon as his brother came back and said a few words, his mother agreed. There was no way to argue with that.
"Zhiqiang, you're not getting any younger. Your brother is already married. This is a major event in your life. Shouldn't you start preparing?" Han Minjia asked.
"Mom, I'm not in a hurry right now. I'm too busy. No matter who I'm with, I can't spend a lot of time with my family. Let's just forget about it."
"It's nothing, I..."
Before Han Minjia could finish speaking, Han Zhiqiang interrupted, "I'd rather wait until everything is more stable before discussing these things. A good partner can help us grow together. Let's talk about it later."
Seeing her son say this, Han Minjia knew he had always been opinionated, so she decided not to try to persuade him further.
"By the way, brother, where did you choose to live? Are you still living in the yard?"
“Yes, my workplace is quite close by, and it's right in the yard, so I can take care of my parents,” Han Zhichao said.
"Yes, I'm not home, so everything depends on my older brother now."
"What are you saying? These are our parents, it's my duty. You should focus on your career, I'll take care of things at home, don't worry."
Han Zhiqiang didn't say anything in the end, but patted his older brother on the shoulder, everything was understood without words.
The next day, Han Zhiqiang took his things and went to the Zhou family's house.
"Is Aunt Qi there? It's me, Zhiqiang. I just got back and came to see you."
Guo Jinyou and Zhou's mother were inside the house when they heard someone coming from outside, so they asked someone to open the door.
"Mom, who is this Zhiqiang?" Fubao asked.
"This is the second son of the Han family. We've been staying at home these past two days and haven't had much time to go out. I didn't even know the second son of the Han family was back."
Just as the two finished speaking, they saw Han Zhiqiang enter the house with his belongings.
"Aunt Qi, I just got back yesterday and came to see you today," Han Zhiqiang said.
Since this family's child has come, and is so polite, we should naturally treat them well.
"Zhiqiang, why are you back this time? How many days off did you take?"
“You’re too unconventional, kid. I’ve watched you grow up since you were a child, and you’re bringing things with you.”
“Aunt Qi, you are my elder, so it is only natural that I come to visit you now that I have come all this way.”
“You’re such a smooth talker, my second son isn’t as steady as you,” Zhou’s mother said.
"Please sit down. Let me introduce you. This is your sister-in-law, Guo Jinyou," Zhou's mother said.
"Hello, sister-in-law. I always hear your name from the elders. They always say that you are generous in your actions and in your character. My brother Zhou is truly blessed."
Hearing him say that, I couldn't help but think, "He really knows how to talk."
“Zhenting will be off work soon. It’s been a long time since you’ve seen each other. Have a good drink, we have some good wine at home,” Fu Bao said.
"That's great! I love wine, so I'm sorry to bother you today," Zhiqiang said with a smile.
He came to the Guo family today partly because of what had happened recently, and partly because of Uncle Lin's advice.
"That's great, this house will be lively today."
When Zhou Zhenting got off work and came back, he saw Han Zhiqiang. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.
"Hey, Zhiqiang, what brings you back?"
"Don't leave today, you have to eat here. It's not easy to see you like this," Zhenting patted Zhiqiang on the shoulder.
“I came back yesterday, and I’ll be going back in a few days. I’m so glad I got to come back, so I came to see you and Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou.”
"Alright, let's have a drink together today, brothers. We happen to have quite a few good wines. Let's have a proper get-together this time."
"That's great! Of course I'd like to try this fine wine too," Han Zhiqiang said with a smile.
"My dad and brother will be back soon, and we'll start eating in a bit. This time, I'm going to see how much you can drink."
“I remember how drunk you were back then. Let’s see if you’ve improved now.”
"Brother Zhou, who are you looking down on? Today I'm showing my true strength, don't worry."
The two had grown up together since childhood. Although they were a few years apart in age, Han Zhiqiang was smart from a young age and followed Zhou Zhenting around every day. The relationship between Han's mother and Zhou's mother did not affect the two of them.
After all, the relationship between the two sides wasn't that bad back then.
