Chapter 30 Don’t judge a man by his appearance
Slender fingers pressed the alarm and turned it off before it rang.
Ten minutes are up.
Zhou Tingyun looked at the lazy girl, whose speed of falling asleep rivaled that of a Guinness World Record, and wondered if he should ask her to reduce her carbohydrate intake. Feeling the softness in his arms, he decided that it was time to start exercising for her.
Several plans to get her to exercise more quickly flashed through my mind, but all of them ended in failure.
never mind.
After settling the rice bugs, Zhou Tingyun walked into the meeting room.
In an instant, the field seemed to have a second hand freeze in a clock. The brief pause made the air seem to freeze, and then it quickly started running again.
The quality of Huayu employees is unmatched, and they all have expressionless faces.
It seemed as if she didn't notice the lipstick marks on the man's neck.
Second Uncle Zhou Yiyuan's eyes seemed to meet with those of a senior executive accidentally, but he looked away calmly, as if nothing had happened.
The bottom-level employees pretended to look at the PPT, but their actual keyboard speed was comparable to that of e-sports players.
[Good news! There's actually a second woman in the world who can get close to our director!]
[Ahhhh, this shouldn't be the case. Isn't it only the young lady who came today? ]
[You don't understand, the bosses in our novels all have secret passages! ]
[So creepy, this is my first time seeing you. I feel like the boss is the type who would slap Xiao Tao in bed. Does anyone know what I mean...?]
[? Bold Madman (Slap Me)]
It was not until the end of the meeting that the secretary dared to speak up and remind him.
"Your neck..."
Seeing the person hesitating, he raised his hand and casually wiped it, and his fingertips were stained with a slightly moist touch and a little red.
Perhaps Mingzhao had gotten it, Zhou Tingyun was used to it, his expression did not change, and he continued to explain the work matters.
The secretary naturally didn't dare to pry into the boss's private life, but she was secretly surprised that such a serious and reserved person like him would mess around in the office.
As expected, you can’t judge a man by his appearance, especially a rich and powerful man.
The secretary thought silently, "The young lady should not have encountered such an embarrassing scene."
The other side.
Ming Zhao woke up yawning and sat on the bed to clear his mind.
She hadn't slept so soundly in a long time.
These days, it feels like I’m trying to make up for all the sleep I missed over the years.
When Zhou Tingyun opened the door, he saw her with her head hanging in a daze.
"Why are you always sleepy?" He sat down on the bed and bent down to put on her shoes. "Your sleep schedule isn't normal."
Ming Zhao suddenly thought that if she told him about her daily insomnia and nightmares, and the hair falling out in clumps, it would definitely be more effective.
But she said nothing.
Who made him so cruel? He never even looked at her or called her.
She holds a grudge and will never let him go easily.
She tilted her head and leaned on the man's shoulder with a thud, saying leisurely, "Ah, maybe I sleep more soundly next to my handsome and wealthy brother."
"Really?" Zhou Tingyun helped her tidy up her messed up socks. "You didn't play with your phone all night?"
Ming Zhao immediately raised his head and glared at him, "Zhou Tingyun, be careful or I'll sue you for defamation."
"Yes, you are welcome to contact the group legal department."
“…”
Okay, okay! Let’s do this!

After having dinner at Songrongji, the two returned to the old house and met the old man standing there when they walked through the gate.
He said sarcastically, "Hey, our Zhou family's chef is no longer worthy of the two of you, and you still want to go out to eat, right?"
Ming Zhao was honest, "Although the flowers at home are fragrant, you can still pick some wild flowers on the roadside."
One sentence successfully offended two people.
Mr. Zhou glared: "You, you, you!"
Zhou Tingyun's face darkened: "I don't remember teaching you this."
Mingzhao slipped away faster than a rabbit in an instant.
Walking around on the cobblestone road, she slowed down her pace and began to carefully observe the architectural structure of the old house out of habit.
The mortise and tenon structure of the bracket sets is exquisite, and the raised corners can expand the lighting area, let in sunlight and prevent moisture. The ridges on the roof tiles of the house protect the eaves, and the cloud-shaped drips under the tiles can effectively drain rainwater.
The overall trend is high in the north and low in the south, and the drainage system is precisely designed, similar to the Chishou in the Forbidden City, with thousands of dragons spitting water.
Even if the heavy rain a few days ago continues for a few more days, it will not have any impact at all.
Not knowing where he was wandering, Ming Zhao was concentrating on looking at the ridge beasts on the eaves when he vaguely heard a quarrel coming from somewhere.
"Dad, can you please stop doing this!" There was obvious anger in the girl's voice.
"Siyu, let's not talk about the fact that Dad's project is at a critical stage. As long as we cooperate with Xinyuan Real Estate..."
dad?
After catching the key words, Ming Zhao was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Siyu...calls Uncle Zhou Tingyun Dad?
etc.
She stood there in a daze for a long while, her brain working rapidly before she gradually sorted out her thoughts.
What the hell? It turns out Zhou Siyu is just Zhou Tingyun’s cousin?
She always thought she was her biological sister.
Ming Zhao only vaguely knew that the death of Zhou Tingyun's mother and father was an accident. He never mentioned it on his own initiative, and she would not ask rashly.
As for Zhou Siyu, she now understood that Grandpa Zhou probably wanted to elevate her status, so he made such a statement to the outside world.
Ming Zhao knew that he had character flaws, and from a normal human emotional point of view, taking care of his own biological sister was a natural thing to do.
But she just couldn't accept it.
Zhou Tingyun occupied almost her entire life. She was like a selfish person who could not tolerate her mother and father sharing even a little bit of their love with her. She wanted to get something that belonged to her wholeheartedly.
So Mingzhao was unwilling to go home.
But... Zhou Tingyun came to pick her up.
She thought, why not try again? If it really doesn't work, then just pretend that she doesn't have this brother anymore.
The result was a big misunderstanding.
Ming Zhao was embarrassed by herself. What kind of monologue was she performing before? Help!
"You already have enough food and clothing, why do you have to be greedy for that little bit of power?" Zhou Siyu was a little overwhelmed.
"What are you talking about! Isn't it also good for our family?" The man's voice softened again. "Siyu, you don't have to do anything. Just invite her to the banquet. As long as the second young master succeeds in this matter, we..."
The second son of Xinyuan?
Isn't he the idiot who said at the beginning that he wanted to be her younger brother?
Ming Zhao frowned, suddenly remembering the message this man had sent her a few days ago, inviting her to his bachelor party.
It was called a bachelor party, but in fact it was a celebration and selection of a concubine after breaking up with the ex.
She felt so sick that she wanted to vomit and rolled away immediately.
