Chapter 31: Your son found out that you were having an affair with your ex-daughter-in-law?
Su Li's dress was chosen by Zhou Jinbai himself. As a man, he must know what other men are thinking. Even the most serious men would look at women with a fixed gaze, let alone beautiful women.
Su Li's face is attractive enough, and she has a really good figure, with curves in all the right places, full where it should be full, and slim where it should be slim.
That slender waist that could kill him could make a man stare at it for a long time.
The dress was gray-blue. In order to avoid her waist appearing too thin, she chose a dress with elaborate embellishments around the waist. It was a French lisianthus-style long dress with a square collar.
It covered her straight legs very well, but did not hinder her beauty. Zhou Jinbai was very satisfied with the dress. It cost several million, so she bought it without any hesitation.
The meeting with the brand manager was around seven in the evening. These wealthy people like to have some entertainment activities at night.
The venue was set up in an extremely luxurious five-star entertainment hotel called "Gao Shan Liu Shui". The boss of this hotel and Zhou Jinbai were also good friends in the business world.
When this hotel was first built, the boss Hou Jiangyong did not have enough funds, so Zhou Jinbai stepped forward to lend him money. The luxury hotel that cost tens of billions to build is finally making money.
Now the hotel's nightly turnover is probably over 100 million. Whenever a billionaire with a net worth of over 100 million shows up, a moose will run across the decorative lights on the entire floor.
When a tycoon with a net worth of tens of billions shows up, what runs past is a tiger, but when a tycoon with assets of hundreds of billions shows up, what runs past is a golden dragon.
So far, it has been rare to see a golden dragon. After all, there are only a few bigwigs in the entire capital with assets exceeding 100 billion yuan, and not all of them frequently go in and out of such a glamorous place.
However, it is not uncommon for tycoons with assets exceeding 10 billion to frequently visit such places. There are two or three of them almost every night, accounting for the hotel's KPI for the entire night.
Su Li almost never goes to such occasions. She is just an honest worker. When she has nothing to do, she prefers to stay together and chat with a few friends.
Speaking of friends, she hadn't seen Chen Xinyi and the others for a long time. She contacted Chen Xinyi when she returned to Beijing, but she seemed very busy. Su Li asked her to go out and play several times, but she refused.
Su Li was still wondering if it was because she had introduced Chen Xinyi to Zhou Jinbai before and was rejected by Zhou Jinbai that Chen Xinyi no longer wanted to play with her.
She didn’t know that Shen Xinyi’s indifference made her a little uncomfortable, but everyone was an adult, and since others were unwilling to get close to her, she didn’t insist.
After that, he was busy dealing with Zhou Jinbai and never paid attention to Shen Xinyi again.
It was her first time attending such an occasion, and Jiang Wen accompanied her. She actually hoped that Zhou Jinbai would accompany her, but Zhou Jinbai would not come. He almost never appeared in the same occasion with Su Li.
Su Li thought that her relationship with Zhou Jinbai was shameful. Zhou Jinbai kept saying that he didn't care, but in fact, he cared more than anyone else. This made Su Li unhappy, but her unhappiness was useless. She still had to give each other some room and face.
Jiang Wen opened the car door for her and she got out of the car. She took Jiang Wen's arm. There would usually be many big shots at such occasions, and Su Li was already prepared.
As soon as she got off the car, she saw a tiger running across the magnificent surface of the luxurious hotel. Su Li felt curious and looked at it for a long time.
Jiang Wen explained to her quietly, "This is because a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars is here, so this effect occurred."
Su Li was surprised for a moment, because she didn't know the rules of this kind of hotel, she just thought it was very luxurious.
She took Jiang Wen's arm and walked into the hotel. The venue was on the third floor, and the hotel's downstairs and underground parking lot were already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.
What Su Li didn't realize was that not long after she and Jiang Wen entered the hotel, a roaring golden dragon ran over the hotel.
There are only a few big guys who can have such a grand ceremony. As for which top boss will be present tonight, no one knows.
When Jiang Wen arrived at the third-floor venue, it was already packed with reporters and various celebrities. The place was packed with guests and the atmosphere was lively. Su Li's presence did not cause any big sensation.
But she saw Zhou Zexi and Yang Enru at a glance. Accompanying them was the ace agent Lao Zhuo. In addition, there were many first-line stars, all dressed up, and the dresses they wore almost showed off their breasts.
Su Li's dress was carefully selected by Zhou Jinbai. It didn't reveal any of her beauty at all. She was dressed like a naive girl next door.
Among all the flowers, apart from her stunning appearance, she can be said to be the most conservative in her dress.
As soon as she and Jiang Wen entered, Zhou Zexi noticed her. He stared at Su Li for a long time before he found an excuse with Zhuo Yu to leave and go find Su Li.
Su Li and Jiang Wen were about to find a place to sit down. When they saw Zhou Zexi coming over, Jiang Wen just nodded slightly without saying much.
Zhou Zexi lowered his voice and asked him, "Why did you bring her here? What is she doing here at this kind of event?"
In Zhou Zexi's eyes, a grassroots actress like Su Li would not be able to get such a brand endorsement even in ten years.
The general spokesperson for the Asia-Pacific region, his endorsement fee is 1 billion yuan.
If the effect is good, the price will be increased again. Everyone wants to get a piece of the pie.
But this good opportunity that comes in a million is not so easy to get, and Zhuo Yu has racked his brains for it.
Yang Enru is now a dark horse in Zhuoyu Studio. He wants to create Zhou Zexi and Yang Enru as a cash cow, and he has used all means.
Little did they know that everyone at this meeting was just there to make up for it, as someone had already secured the endorsement.
They are just a group of supporting roles. The real protagonist has already been decided.
At first glance, they were all familiar faces, all of whom had been seen on the screen to some extent. No one noticed Su Li, but only after Zhou Zexi walked towards her did everyone look over there a few times.
In the entertainment industry, being beautiful is nothing new, so Su Li's appearance did not attract much attention.
She didn't want to get entangled with Zhou Zexi any more, so she simply ignored his approach. Jiang Wen also followed Zhou Jinbai's instructions and didn't say anything more to Zhou Zexi.
Zhou Zexi was disappointed and had to go back to Zhuo Yu. Zhuo Yu looked at Su Li and Jiang Wen several times. Seeing Zhou Zexi coming back, she whispered to him, "Why did your housekeeper show up at this kind of event?"
Zhou Zexi didn't understand either. "He probably came with Su Li, but why is he here?"
Zhou Zexi was also completely confused. Although everyone liked to find a companion to travel with, he was very confused when Su Li found Jiang Wen.
He couldn't help but send a WeChat message to his dad: [Why did Butler Jiang accompany Su Li to the brand meeting? What's their relationship?]
Zhou Jinbai didn't reply to him. Zhou Zexi felt that this matter was strange. Logically speaking, Jiang Wen and Su Li shouldn't have such a close relationship, right?
He didn't understand it, but he felt very angry. Ever since his divorce from Su Li, he always felt that everything that happened was weird.
His father, who never smiles, not only hugged a woman in Hainan, but also became much colder towards his son since then.
This made Zhou Zexi feel uneasy. If Zhou Jinbai really wanted to get married and have a child with that woman, then his position as the young master of the Zhou family would be difficult to maintain in the future.
He knew that Zhou Jinbai was actually very satisfied with Su Li as his daughter-in-law, otherwise he would not have been so good to Su Li after he and Su Li got married.
Su Li felt that Zhou Jinbai was not good to her and was not satisfied with her. Only Zhou Zexi, who knew Zhou Jinbai well, knew how good his father was to Su Li and gave her red envelopes of no less than one million during festivals.
If Su Li lived a comfortable life before marrying him, then after marrying him, both she and her parents lived a life that only the rich could have. It can be said that Su Li achieved a class leap through him, and all this came from Zhou Jinbai's preference.
He also asked his father, "Why are you so nice to Su Li?"
Zhou Jinbai's response was cold and indifferent, "You're away from home all year round and don't have time to care about what she's doing. If I don't give her a little more money, can your marriage survive?"
Zhou Zexi felt that Su Li's love for him wasn't that serious, but since Zhou Jinbai said so, he believed it.
But now he felt that everything was becoming a little weird, and he couldn't help but suspect his father and Su Li.
But then he thought again, in the three years that Su Li and he had been married, whenever he was not at home, Su Li basically stayed at her parents' home, and had very little time to be alone with Zhou Jinbai.
Besides, a man like Zhou Jinbai... shouldn't have any improper thoughts towards his daughter-in-law. How outrageous.
Zhou Zexi gave up his rebellious idea. No matter how bold Su Li was, she would not dare to set her sights on Zhou Jinbai.
Zhou Zexi exhaled softly and heard Zhuo Yu say, "I have to find a way to meet with the person in charge of the brand. Otherwise, with so many people here to get endorsements, I'm afraid we still won't have a chance. I'll take Xiao Yang there later."
Zhou Zexi just nodded and said nothing else, his eyes always on Su Li.
He wondered vaguely when he and Su Li had come to this point. She had been so cute before, clinging to him whenever she saw him, but now he seemed like such a despicable and lowly creature that he felt dirty just by looking at him.
Feeling quite disappointed, Zhou Zexi turned around and went to the bathroom to smoke.
Zhuo Yu waited for an opportunity and went to find Hou Jiangyong first to see if he could provide some clues about the brand's itinerary.
However, Hou Jiangyong now has a distinguished guest present and has no time to care about such small fish and shrimps.
The brand manager was still a few minutes away from arriving, and Hou Jiangyong was entertaining the guest in the VIP room.
He was puzzled. "Old Zhou, your business rarely involves this kind of business. What happened this time? Why did you come here in person to see it? It's only a few billion. Chairman Zhou makes more than a billion a month, and you're still accepting endorsements for the entire year."
Zhou Jinbai's expression was calm and indifferent. "Occasionally being exposed to new things can broaden your horizons."
Hou Jiangyong handed him a cup of expensive tea and said, "Try it. It's a new tribute that was obtained recently and it's hard to handle."
Zhou Jinbai took it and took a sip, "Not bad."
Hou Jiangyong laughed heartily, "I'll give you some when you leave later, but I saw your housekeeper coming with a girl. Is she here for this endorsement as well?"
Zhou Jinbai smiled but said nothing.
Hou Jiangyong sighed, "You're so pretentious, Old Zhou. That girl is pretty, but how could she possibly hire your Zhou family's housekeeper? I don't think it's Jiang Wen's doing..."
Zhou Jinbai interrupted him, "When did you become so gossipy?"
Hou Jiangyong smiled meaningfully, "What girl are you interested in?"
Zhou Jinbai's heart moved, but he still didn't answer him. He just said, "I'll be gone when the brand arrives. I'll be here waiting for the meeting to end. Please take care of the things at the venue."
Hou Jiangyong assured him, "Since you've spoken, I'll definitely take it to heart, but I still want to know, what's your relationship with that girl?"
Zhou Jinbai tutted his words coldly, "I think you're quite suitable to be a paparazzi. Where do you find so much free time to care about my affairs?"
Hou Jiangyong was displeased when he heard this. "Look at you, we've been friends for many years, and I've always been very concerned about your lifelong affairs. My child is about to graduate from college, and you're not getting married yet. How can I not be anxious? But young girls are hard to please. Can you really do that at your age?"
Zhou Jinbai, "..."
Hou Jiangyong gave him some advice, "If you really like young girls, I think the fact that you're rich is enough. If you learn more about communicating with young people and integrate them, then it won't be difficult to win over little girls."
Zhou Jinbai's tone became increasingly irritated. "When you say that, I always feel like I'm being disrespectful to my elders."
Hou Jiangyong laughed heartily. "It's quite rare, though. A girl that you like must be outstanding in every way. She must be very pretty, and it all depends on her personality."
Zhou Jinbai stopped him and said, "Go down and get them. Stop joking."
Hou Jiangyong had no choice but to go and pick up the person. The person who contacted the brand was Qin Yu, the assistant brought by Zhou Jinbai. He and Qin Yu also appeared together when discussing cooperation matters with the brand, so the job of receiving people was left to Hou Jiangyong and Qin Yu.
Zhou Jinbai stayed in a separate VIP room and did not show up.
Su Li was still asking Jiang Wen questions when Hou Jiangyong came to find her with Qin Yu. Zhuo Yu originally wanted to find Hou Jiangyong, but as soon as she saw him, she found that he was walking towards Su Li.
Everyone's eyes turned to Su Li. Jiang Wen took Su Li's hand and left with Hou Jiangyong.
When Zhuo Yu saw this situation, he knew that he was doomed.
He hit Zhou Zexi and said, "It's over. It turns out the spokesperson has already been chosen. It's you..."
He didn't even say the word "ex-wife". There were reporters everywhere at the scene, and anything wrong could happen.
In order to avoid trouble, Yang Enru stayed away from Zhou Zexi and pretended not to know him.
Zhou Zexi seemed to understand. He left the venue angrily and called Zhou Jinbai.
Zhou Jinbai didn't answer, and after a while he was bombarded with messages from Zhou Zexi on WeChat.
"I came home to ask for your help, but you turned around and tricked me. I still don't understand. Am I your biological child, or is Su Li your biological child? Why do you always favor her?"
Zhou Jinbai glanced at his phone and didn't reply.
Zhou Zexi's questioning became more and more excessive.
[Last time in Hainan, I saw a woman in your room, and you were hugging her. Could that woman be Su Li? Answer me!]
Zhou Jinbai still didn't reply.
Zhou Zexi was so angry that he almost threw his phone.
"You're just a gentleman on the surface, aren't you? Did you fall in love with her the day she came into my house? Do you still have any shame? You even didn't let your daughter-in-law go? Even if Su Li is divorced from me, she was once your daughter-in-law. How dare you do this?"
When Zhou Zexi found that his father didn't say a word, he felt that his guess had come true.
"Answer me! Won't you explain it to me?"
After a long while, Zhou Jinbai finally replied: "I'm busy. It's not what you think. Please be careful with your tone when you speak to me."
After hearing his defense, Zhou Zexi felt a little better: "Then tell me, why did this endorsement fall to Su Li? How could he get it when Lao Zhuo couldn't even get it?"
Zhou Jinbai: [Ask Zhang Qingchi, don't ask me.]
After seeing this, Zhou Zexi called Zhang Qingchi. Zhang Qingchi was also at the venue, but he didn't show up. When he saw Zhou Zexi calling, he knew what was going on.
Zhou Jinbai had told him in advance that Zhou Zexi would definitely question him, and Zhang Qingchi had already thought of the wording.
He went straight to Zhou Zexi, away from the venue. He handed Zhou Zexi a cigarette and said calmly, "I thought it was a small matter, but it turns out it's because of this. You know everyone is fighting tooth and nail for this endorsement, so I'm no exception. Zhuo Yu wants to promote newcomers, and so do I. Su Li is currently the biggest dark horse in our company. If I don't promote her, who should I promote? So naturally, I've exhausted all my efforts for this resource."
Zhou Zexi asked, "Didn't Lao Zhou help you?"
Zhang Qingchi admitted, "He did help me a little. After all, everyone in the wealthy circle knows Zhou Jinbai. I told him that we are good friends, so he gave me this face. Otherwise, I really might not be able to get it."
Zhou Zexi, “…”
Zhang Qingchi pretended to know nothing. "If Zhuo Yu had taken you with him when he went to talk, there might have been a chance. But you tried so hard to deny your relationship with your father that others would definitely not give you face. In the final analysis, it was all thanks to your father."
Zhou Zexi narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Qingchi, "Tell me honestly, is there anything going on between Su Li and my dad?"
Zhang Qingchi was stunned and shook his head, "I don't know, your father is...is he that kind of person?"
Zhou Zexi sighed angrily, "I feel uneasy because I know he's not that kind of person. If I'm wrong, it would be a great betrayal."
Zhang Qingchi pretended to be calm. "You said it was a heinous crime, and you still ask me. Don't ask me about this kind of thing in the future. You are where you are today thanks to your father. Don't always cause trouble for him."
Zhou Zexi said nothing more. Zhang Qingchi glanced at the time and said, "Su Li is meeting with the brand. I have to go and watch over her. I won't be with you if anything goes wrong."
Zhou Zexi waved his hand and let him go. Only then did Zhang Qingchi turn around and breathe a sigh of relief.
What is going on? When he stuffed Su Li into Zhou Jinbai's arms, he had no idea that she was Zhou Jinbai's daughter-in-law.
Thinking about it now, I feel ashamed. If Zhou Zexi knew that he was the one who stuffed Su Li into Zhou Jinbai's arms, he would definitely kill him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder and quickly fled to see Zhou Jinbai.
Zhang Qingchi felt like he was going crazy. He lost his composure when he saw Zhou Jinbai. "This is terrible, Old Zhou. Your son seems to know that you and Su Li are together. He just asked me what your relationship is. I was almost scared to death. What should I do? How did he know? Were you two discovered?"
Zhou Jinbai asked him to calm down. "He's just guessing, and he has no evidence. Besides, what if he finds out? The worst that can happen is that you confess to him."
