Chapter 34: Playing Mahjong and Charity Dinner in Free Time
After posting the video, Du Ningyou leaned back in her chair and continued to follow netizens' comments. She didn't know how long had passed when the office door was suddenly pushed open. She quickly sat up and saw Zhou Yangze rushing in.
"Why are you here? Aren't you busy with work?"
He strode over with a smile on his face, held the handles on both sides of the chair and leaned over to kiss her, and the kiss was very hard.
Du Ningyou reached out and patted his chest to remind him to be gentler, but he didn't even have the chance to speak. Just when she was almost out of breath, she finally pulled away a little, but he changed the angle and continued to kiss her.
After it was over, Du Ningyou's mouth was a little swollen, and he immediately hit the person in front of him twice in annoyance.
Zhou Yangze accepted it with a smile and said to her, "I saw the video you sent. It turns out I am such a good person in your heart."
"It's not good now."
"I don't care. I only remember what you said in the video."
Du Ningyou looked at him with sparkling eyes, the love and joy in them almost filling the whole room. She stared at him for a long time on purpose but still couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Yangze picked the person up and sat in the chair, then put him on his lap and hugged him.
He sighed and said, "We must have done a lot of good deeds in our past lives, otherwise how could we be so lucky and happy?"
"Lucky me! I'm the one who brought you all your good fortune. So you have to continue to pamper me, indulge me, and love me. Got it?"
"Yes, yes, you have the final say in our family from now on."
"That's more like it."
Zhou's company dealt with Zhou Yangze's previous scandals with lightning speed. Those who participated in spreading the rumors were directly prosecuted by the Ministry of Justice. Some who deliberately hyped up the rumors were all put on Zhou's blacklist. As a result, no one in the industry dared to use them, which directly ruined their careers.
After seeing how Zhou handled the situation, Wen Ni said to her agent, "Look, it's a good thing I didn't hype up the couple back then, otherwise I'd be the one left out now."
"I was indeed inconsiderate about this matter. Seeing that you have changed a lot recently, we must also change our style of doing things in the future."
"Yes, I will work hard to be like Sister Qiang and become a talented actress with representative works!"
With the popularity of "Life in Taoyuan", Shiqiaozhai has attracted attention from all parties, and netizens have been purchasing Shiqiaozhai specialties. In addition to the official accounts, some villagers who started live broadcasts also benefited from it. For example, Uncle Sun's family sold out their Qiuyue pears in an instant. The villagers also helped each other, driving everyone to make money together.
Meanwhile, various sources contacted the Youran Foundation, and with their help, the road construction project from Huayang Town to Shiqiaozhai was quickly put on the agenda. If this momentum continues, the construction of public facilities in Shiqiaozhai can also begin as soon as possible. Furthermore, upon hearing about the plans to build an ecological farm there, some people expressed interest in collaborating.
It can be said that the benefits brought to Shiqiaozhai by this variety show far exceeded expectations, and even promoted the development of surrounding towns. Tourists who visited Shiqiaozhai would also stroll around the surrounding area, which naturally promoted the development of nearby catering, accommodation and other industries.
In addition, some people donated a large sum of money to the school in Huayang Town to help build a teaching building, and also donated books and computers. As a result, the villagers' lives, children's education, and village development have all been improved.
Up to now, Zhou Yangze has completed the work assigned to him by Zhou Mingcheng, and has become more free recently.
That day at work, he saw Chen Ziyou playing mahjong in their group of three.
"It's been a while since we've rubbed each other. Let's make an appointment tonight."
Zhou Yangze: "Come on, I'm almost done with my work lately."
Chen Ziyou: "Wow, the busy man is finally willing to come out."
Song Mingyuan: "Okay."
Zhou Yangze: "We need to choose a quiet place. The teahouse in the south of the city is good. It's close and private. What do you think?"
Song Mingyuan: "I'm fine."
Chen Ziyou: "That's fine with me. I'll just grab a friend and fill up the table."
Zhou Yangze: "I can't be so casual, even with your bad friends. I'm getting married soon, and I have to protect my reputation."
Chen Ziyou: "Speechless.JPG"
"Then who are you going to date?"
Zhou Yangze: "I'll call Lu Mingxiao, he's been resting recently."
"OK."
After making an appointment to play mahjong in the evening, Zhou Yangze informed Du Ningyou, then put down his phone and thought about what to do.
At this time, Guan Zhuo came in and said to him, "Second Young Master, President Zhou asked you to go to his office." President Zhou was his brother Zhou Mingcheng.
"Oh, I see."
Arriving at the president's office, Zhou Yangze asked, "Brother, you called me?"
"You should attend the celebrity charity dinner on Saturday night."
"I'm going? Don't you usually go? I won't go to places like that where there are too many people and things going on. Don't hurt me."
"I'm going on a business trip to South City. You can ask Ning You to come with you. This dinner is held every year, and Zhou is one of the lead organizers, so someone must be sent."
“…Alright then.”
At night, Chen Ziyou, wearing sunglasses and a mask, looked around and sneaked into the "Tian Zi Hao" box.
Seeing his outfit, Song Mingyuan teased, "Master Chen is a celebrity now."
He took off his sunglasses and mask and replied proudly, "Of course not. Now when I walk down the street, people recognize me and say, 'Hey! Isn't that Master Chen?' Then they run up to me for pictures and autographs. I've finally experienced the sweet burden of being a celebrity."
"I see you're enjoying it."
"Hehe." He sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. "Who doesn't like being admired? Besides, those fans are all attracted by my personal charm."
As soon as he finished speaking, a person who was wrapped even tighter than him appeared. Zhou Yangze took off his hat, wig, sunglasses, mask, and then took off his thick windbreaker.
"Phew, I'm dying of heat."
Then he sat down and drank two cups of tea.
Chen Ziyou pointed at him and said, "Look, Master Zhou's display is even more exaggerated than mine."
Song Mingyuan smiled faintly. Zhou Yangze finally felt better after drinking some water and said to them, "Of course I have to be cautious. I'm getting married soon, and I can't do anything weird."
"With the momentum that Zhou's company has achieved recently, I believe no one would be so stupid as to try to take advantage of your popularity," said Song Mingyuan.
"That would be great." Then he picked up his phone and complained, "Why hasn't Lu Mingxiao arrived yet? I finally had some free time to play mahjong, and this guy is just wasting my time."
Before he could finish his call, Lu Mingxiao arrived, panting heavily, "Sorry, sorry, I'm late. I wasted some time trying to shake off the paparazzi."
"Are you sure you got rid of it?"
"Don't worry, we've gotten rid of him, and he can't get in here. Let's start fighting. I haven't played for a long time."
Zhou Yangze excitedly turned on the mahjong table. "Come on, come on, I'm going to be very lucky. I'm going to take down three families tonight."
Chen Ziyou shouted loudly: "Come on, who's afraid of who?"
Song Mingyuan adjusted his glasses, slowly rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to have some fun with them.
While Lu Mingxiao was stacking cards, he asked Chen Ziyou, "Mr. Chen, I heard that you're planning to work at Zhou Corporation in the future? And behind the scenes, anyway. If you don't want to enter the entertainment industry, why don't you go to your own company?"
"I'm not interested in our family business. It's more interesting to run the entertainment industry with Zhou Yangze."
"Your family has no objection?"
"They couldn't be happier that I'm willing to work. Anyway, I wouldn't be able to make a big difference if I went to Chen's, so it would be fine if I could go to Zhou's."
"Haha, actually, I originally thought you would take advantage of this popularity to enter the entertainment industry. With Young Master Zhou backing you up, you'll be an international superstar sooner or later."
"I had the same idea at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I can't act or sing, so I should leave the opportunity to those who are truly talented."
"Mr. Chen is so righteous! I can't bear to win your money tonight."
"Pah, it's still unclear who will win."
…
On Saturday night, Zhou Yangze took Du Ningyou to attend a celebrity charity dinner.
After learning the reason, Du Ningyou sighed and said, "Brother Zhou is also on a business trip to South City, and so is my second sister."
The two looked at each other and both smelled the scent of adultery.
Zhou Yangze smiled and said, "That's great. When my eldest brother becomes successful, our two families can become even closer."
"The premise is that Brother Zhou can succeed."
"Don't worry about him. He can worry about his brother's affairs. As for me, you have to protect me tonight and don't allow anyone of the opposite sex to get close to me."
"It shouldn't be so exaggerated now, right?"
"Yes, you must stay by my side tonight."
"All right."
However, when they arrived at the banquet hall, they found that Zhou Yangze had overthought. The female celebrities were all intimidated and stood eight feet away from him. Those who knew him just waved and greeted him from a distance, and there was absolutely no physical contact.
Later they saw Su Qiang. Su Qiang happily came forward to hold Du Ningyou's hand and hug him, but she backed away from Zhou Yangze and didn't even give him a polite handshake.
She said, "I don't dare get too close to you now. Do you know how rumors spread in the industry? At first, they said anyone who dared to have a scandal with you would be banned from the industry. Later, the rumors spread and became that anyone who dared to have physical contact with you would be banned. Everyone has to stay away from you."
"That's great. I don't have to worry about my reputation being damaged."
Su Qiang didn't care about it. It had nothing to do with her anyway. She just took Du Ningyou's hand and admired her diamond ring.
"Wow, Master Zhou is truly wealthy. He has such a big, sparkling pink diamond. Congratulations to you two. I wonder if I'll have the honor of having a drink at your wedding?"
"Sister Qiang, of course you have to come! How can our wedding be without you? We haven't started sending out invitations yet. I'll personally deliver them to you once they're ready."
"Wow, great."
In addition to meeting Su Qiang at this dinner, they also met Chang Lao, Tian Zhennan, Jiang Lingfei, Wen Ni and others. In addition, they also met Wei Jialang.
After withdrawing from the show, he took part in a long-established music variety show, where he shined brightly and has now successfully become popular again.
When Wei Jialang saw Zhou Yangze appear, he took the initiative to walk over with a glass of wine and said meaningfully, "Mr. Zhou, I also want to thank you."
Zhou Yangze touched him and said, "Don't thank me. You should thank yourself. Everything is due to your own efforts. I want to thank you for your donation on behalf of Huayang Town Primary School."
"It's just a small effort, nothing compared to what Master Zhou has done."
“No matter how big or small the kindness is, your help is of great significance to the students and may even affect their lives.”
Wei Jialang smiled slightly, "If it can bring positive effects, that would be great."
Zhou Yangze nodded to him, then took Du Ningyou to sit down.
Wei Jialang looked at the two figures and felt relieved. It seemed that Zhou would not bother with him.
