[A candy: kiss, hug and lift high.jpg]
Wen Tang felt that since she started pretending to be young, she seemed to have really regressed several years in her mind when facing Gong Yue! Perhaps because he spoke too little and gave people the impression of being too mature and reliable, she couldn't help but talk too much and act like a spoiled child to him.
Sometimes, I feel like I’m super childish.
But what can I do? I’m really happy!
…
Zhou Jingyu couldn't help but laugh after seeing the two messages sent from the other side.
Is it necessary to be so happy and excited?
You are so grown up, why are you still acting like a child?
When you are sad, you need a hug, a kiss, and a lift.
Not only does she talk a lot every day, she is also very good at acting like a spoiled child.
They would chat until late every night, and if he didn't stop her, she would keep chatting.
【y: It’s very late. 】
He gave timely reminders.
[A Sugar: Oh, I know, I know, it’s time to go to bed! ]
[A candy: Good night, Senior Brother~]
【y: Good night. 】
Just as he put down his phone and was about to lie down, he heard the voice again.
He picked up his phone, turned it on, and saw a hesitant message coming from the other end:
[A Sugar: Senior Brother, can I ask you for a goodnight kiss? ]
Goodnight kiss?
…
Zhou Jingyu was thinking about how to politely refuse, when another line of text came from the other end:
[A Sugar: Senior, I was just kidding! You wouldn’t take it seriously, would you? Hahahaha~]
【y:……】

Chapter 10
The next day, Zhou Jingyu roughly knew who his new neighbor was.
The huge advertisement has been hanging in the Fortune Plaza, which he must pass by every day, covering the entire building, but he has never paid attention to it.
It is an advertisement for a luxury brand. She is wearing a flowing light green dress and walking barefoot in the woods. She is running, as if something has attracted her attention. She suddenly turns her head. Her face is undoubtedly the best gift given to mankind by the Creator. It is stunning and unforgettable. It is so beautiful that ordinary people can hardly imagine. There is a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, which makes her look lively. She is like an elf jumping in the mountains, and even her exposed toes are round and cute.
Anyone with a little common sense knows that placing advertisements here and occupying such a huge screen is not something that ordinary people can do.
No wonder she kept asking him if he knew who she was.
Zhou Jingyu was in the driver's seat. He looked up and saw the conspicuous large signature in the lower right corner, with two large characters written in a flamboyant style.
——Wen Tang.
Every Monday morning, Shengling Group holds a regular meeting at its headquarters. Unless there are any unexpected events, all the company's top executives must attend.
Shengling Group's main industries are shopping malls, real estate, and five-star hotels. It is spread all over the country and is well-known around the world.
Zhou Donghai has not only one son, Zhou Jiayi, but also the second son Zhou Jiarong, the third son Zhou Jiaxin, and a daughter Zhou Jialan. Among them, the eldest son is the least capable, holding an idle position, holding a few shares and receiving dividends every year, and not even qualified to join the board of directors.
However, although Zhou Jiayi is not a promising person, his eldest son Zhou Jingyu was parachuted into the position of chairman of Shengling Group.
At first, the main members of the board of directors were greatly shocked, but after two or three months, they calmed down.
This morning meeting mainly discussed a piece of land in the village in the city, which was acquired at a cost of tens of billions last year. The original plan was to build houses for sale, but the country encountered strict control, so it was left vacant and waited and watched. Zhou Jiarong was in charge of the real estate industry, and Zhou Jiaxin was in charge of the shopping mall. He had been jealous of the land for a long time. At the last meeting, he proposed that the real estate industry had gradually declined, and giving him the land to build a large shopping mall was the best way out.
"The country is now vigorously rectifying the real estate industry and implementing macro-control. It is extremely difficult to restore the past glory! But shopping malls are different. The national consumption level is increasing day by day, and the income of shopping malls has increased significantly. In recent years, all industries have suffered a cold winter, and even our hotel is not immune. The occupancy rate is less than 60%, far less than before. Only shopping malls can maintain their previous performance and grow steadily. Moreover, the land is located in a central location and a transportation hub. It would be a pity if it is not built into a shopping mall!"
During the entire meeting, Zhou Jiaxin was the only one who was talking. He and Zhou Jiarong had always been at odds. The eldest was incompetent and had been kicked out long ago. The fourth was a girl and Zhou Donghai would never hand over such a large group to her. In the end, he could only choose between Zhou Jiarong and Zhou Jiaxin. Not only them, but the entire senior management and even the entire group thought so.
When Zhou Donghai was around, the two of them fought for power and opposed each other secretly. After Zhou Donghai was hospitalized and his health was completely broken, they fought openly for control of the group. But no one expected that Zhou Donghai would not choose anyone and directly parachuted Zhou Jingyu, catching everyone off guard.
He sent Zhou Jingyu to exile in France and ignored him for ten years, and then cut off his support in the end. It seems that the old man is still the best, Zhou Donghai is really good at using tactics!
They have worked hard in the company for decades, why should they have to work for a young boy in the end?
On this issue, Zhou Jiarong and Zhou Jiaxin quickly reached a consensus, faced external forces in unison, and quickly formed an alliance. Relying on their years of operation in the group, wouldn't it be easy for them to discipline an airborne soldier?
They would oppose whatever Zhou Jingyu did, making it difficult for him to carry out his work and letting everyone in the group know who is the real person in power.
Zhou Jingyu has been sidelined. What does it matter if he holds the title of chairman? He is just an empty shell.
But the interests that should be fought for still need to be fought for. In essence, Zhou Jiarong and Zhou Jiaxin still cannot be of one mind.
While Zhou Jingyu was being hindered from carrying out his work, the two families were still fighting each other privately. This land dispute was just the tip of the iceberg.
"You have a good plan. I bought the land with so much difficulty, and now I want to give it to you to build a shopping mall. This is ridiculous. Don't even think about it!"
Zhou Jiarong was almost pissed off by Zhou Jiaxin, but he knew in his heart that the control was strict and the formalities could not be completed in time. Every day the land was left vacant would be a day of loss. The geographical location was carefully selected by him and it was extremely good. Whether it was used to build houses or shopping malls, it would be profitable.
Otherwise, how could Zhou Jiaxin try every possible means to snatch the land away from him.
Zhou Jiaxin was extremely calm and said, "Of course you want to continue building houses, but can you build them now? The land is empty anyway, so you might as well use it to build a shopping mall and make money as soon as possible."
After that, he pretended to seek the opinion of Zhou Jingyu who was sitting in the main seat: "Jingyu, tell me, am I right?"
Zhou Jiarong snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "He has only been in the company for three months. If you ask him, will he understand?"
Zhou Jingyu's position within the group is not as glorious as rumored by the outside world.
The only things he can make decisions on are usually trivial matters, and the real power is still in the hands of Zhou Jiarong, Zhou Jiaxin and Zhou Jialan.
The conversation was directed at Zhou Jingyu. Although he was being looked down upon openly and covertly, Zhou Jingyu was not annoyed at all. He always looked calm and composed, and was very respectful and humble in front of the elders.
Zhou Jingyu said: "Both uncles are right. Whether building a building or a shopping mall, it is a wise choice. This matter is very difficult to decide."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to reach a conclusion today. Why don't you two uncles go back and carefully plan the plan, and then we all raise our hands to vote again?"
Zhou Jiarong sneered at his incompetent look, saying that no one dared to offend him.
Zhou Jiarong spread his hands and said, "That's right. When necessary, we still have to listen to the chairman."
Zhou Jialan, who had been watching from the sidelines the entire time, was too lazy to listen to their chatter any more and said impatiently, "Alright, that's enough. You all go back and make your own plans and just listen to Jingyu. We'll vote by raising our hands then. That's all for today. I have something else to do soon. Let's adjourn the meeting!"
The meeting ended there.
When I returned to the office, I saw Zhou Jingxi sitting in his seat, legs crossed, waiting.
Zhou Jingxi never saw Zhou Jingyu again after Zhou Jingyu left the Zhou family's old house.
He is twenty-three years old this year, just graduated from college and returned from abroad. He did not continue his studies. He has been spoiled since he was a child and has no big ambitions in his life. Before Zhou Jingyu came back, he had not even joined the company and spent his days eating, drinking and having fun.
After Zhou Jingyu came back, Yue Lin's sense of crisis increased. She insisted on asking Zhou Jingyu for a position for Zhou Jingxi and let Zhou Jingxi go to work.
Zhou Jingxi came here this time to report.
He was assigned a high position, deputy general manager of the marketing department. After Zhou Jingxi reported, he came to the president's office. The secretary said that Zhou Jingyu was still in a meeting. Zhou Jingxi had loved to stick to Zhou Jingyu since he was a child, and he missed him very much after not seeing him for so many days, so he went into the president's office by himself to wait.
"Brother!" He was walking around in circles out of boredom, and when he saw Zhou Jingyu coming back, his eyes immediately lit up. Zhou Jingxi stood up to greet him and gave Zhou Jingyu the highest level of preferential treatment he could give.
“You’re here.”
Zhou Jingyu walked over, put the documents in his hand on the table, and asked him: "How do you feel about your first day at work?"
Yue Lin got the position of Zhou Jingxi from Zhou Jingyu, so Zhou Jingyu naturally knew exactly when Zhou Jingxi came to work.
"Very good." Zhou Jingxi was curious about everything. Of course, his biggest motivation to work still came from Zhou Jingyu.
He didn't want to come in the first place. Isn't it happy to play every day?
But his mother forced him to come.
Thinking that after he started working he would at least be able to see his brother, unlike before when he couldn't see him for ten days or half a month, he reluctantly agreed.
Zhou Jingyu and Zhou Jingxi chatted briefly. Zhou Jingxi also knew that Zhou Jingyu was busy and he couldn't disturb him at work. After meeting him, he wanted to slip away.
He also made an appointment with his friends to go to the hot spring resort to soak in the hot springs today!
Before leaving, Zhou Jingyu stopped him and asked him calmly, "Jingxi, how long has it been since you last went to the sanatorium?"
Zhou Jingxi: “…”
Although his brother always seemed indifferent to everything and never blamed anyone for their mistakes, Zhou Jingxi felt that it was this kind of calmness that was the most terrifying.
It seems as if it is above everything, with everything under control and able to control it at will.
He didn't understand why his second and third uncles thought his brother was just a show-off, he was obviously super awesome, okay? He had admired Zhou Jingyu the most since he was a child and knew him best! His brother was definitely not as simple as others saw him to be, he was awesome! !
I heard that his second uncle and third uncle are now openly against his brother and are trying to undermine him.
He was already lighting candles for them in his mind.
Zhou Jingxi felt a little guilty. He was most afraid of his grandfather in his life. He didn't even have enough fun playing with him, so how could he think of going to the nursing home to see him.
Facing Zhou Jingyu's question, Zhou Jingxi hesitated and felt guilty: "...More than a month?"
From the Chinese New Year to now.
Hearing this, Zhou Jingyu nodded and said softly, "Go and visit more often. Grandpa hasn't seen you for a long time and he misses you very much."
Zhou Jingxi thought that except for his brother, his grandfather would not think of any grandchildren, but he obviously couldn't say this to Zhou Jingyu.
I never refute what my brother says.
Zhou Jingxi said "Oh" twice and nodded again and again, looking very well-behaved.
After get off work in the afternoon, Zhou Jingyu went to attend a class reunion.
Lu Yi came to pick him up.
