Chapter 42 Uncle Zhou, I can’t help it...
In Lin Youqin's impression, there is no woman who has known Zhou Jinbai for fifteen or sixteen years and has a good relationship with her. She has never seen her, or is it that Zhou Jinbai cherishes her and does not want anyone to know who that person is?
But if he really has a white moonlight, those of them who have known Zhou Jinbai for several years should not know nothing about it. How could he hide it?
Lin Youqin felt that Zhou Jinbai was lying to her. Perhaps Zhou Jinbai had no feelings for her at all, so he made up a story about a woman he had known for fifteen or sixteen years.
In order to prove her idea, Lin Youqin asked Zhang Qingchi again whether the woman Zhou Jinbai mentioned actually existed. Zhang Qingchi knew everything, but in order to avoid trouble, he naturally kept it a secret for Zhou Jinbai.
Su Li is currently in the rising phase of her career and certainly cannot be affected by these things. Besides, who is Zhou Jinbai? If he gets a partner, the entire Beijing circle will be in uproar.
After hooking up with Zhou Jinbai, Su Li is no longer an ordinary person. If she becomes popular again, her influence will be unimaginable.
He told Lin Youqin to stop constantly interfering in Zhou Jinbai's private life. "Old Zhou should have his own private space. If he doesn't want everyone to know who that woman is, he must have his reasons. Teacher Lin, your family is harmonious, and your two sons are both very successful. Just leave him alone. Besides, he never told me about that affair. I really don't know how a woman who has known him for fifteen or sixteen years could become his girlfriend."
Lin Youqin understood what Zhang Qingchi said and felt really unhappy. "So, Lao Zhou made up this imaginary woman just to reject me. He killed all my thoughts before I even expressed my feelings. Am I that annoying to him?"
Zhang Qingchi was silent for a few seconds. "Teacher Lin, your situation is quite complicated. It's normal for Lao Zhou to be evasive. You are, after all, a public figure with considerable influence. Lao Zhou is just a businessman. It's perfectly normal for him not to want to be watched. Don't be too sad. It's fine as long as you're friends with him."
But how can you be friends with someone who makes your heart beat faster at first sight?
Lin Youqin felt that she had been very restrained, and was afraid that her relationship with him would become more and more distant. She held on to a glimmer of hope and wanted to become closer to Zhou Jinbai, but unfortunately Zhou Jinbai didn't want to give her a chance.
If the woman Zhou Jinbai mentioned really existed, she would like to see what kind of woman could make a man like Zhou Jinbai fall for her.
But she felt that it was impossible, and it was more likely that Zhou Jinbai had lied to her.
Perhaps in everyone's eyes, Zhou Jinbai could not possibly like anyone. Perhaps he had pretended well enough over the years to deceive everyone.
Zhou Zexi knew clearly that there was a woman beside him, but he didn't think of Su Li. In Zhou Zexi's eyes, no matter how immoral his father was, it was impossible for him to have anything happen with a junior who had been his daughter-in-law.
Zhou Zexi wondered who that woman was and secretly investigated, but found no clues. He wondered if his father was lonely in Hainan and so found a woman to pass the time?
It is understandable that someone who has been lonely for decades suddenly wants to do something, but would a man like Zhou Jinbai really be willing to hug a dirty woman?
Zhou Zexi didn't know, but the reality was before him. If that woman could really control Zhou Jinbai, she might have married Zhou Jinbai and become the wife of the Zhou family.
But so much time has passed and there has been no movement from Zhou Jinbai, which means that he has no intention of getting married and that the woman is not qualified to be Zhou Jinbai's wife.
Zhou Zexi breathed a sigh of relief, which also showed that his position as the young master of the Zhou family was still stable for the time being.
She and Su Li were in the same film and television base, but Su Li refused to meet him. Zhou Zexi had visited her crew several times, but she treated him as a invisible person.
Zhuo Yu was almost driven crazy by him and asked him not to do so many unnecessary things, but seeing Su Li shining in her own field, Zhou Zexi was really unhappy. Su Li, who had always revolved around him, would never look at him again.
Only after he truly lost something did he know what regret was, but regret was useless. He had never been in good shape because of Su Li's matter.
But Su Li had completely forgotten that he existed in the same film and television base. What she wanted to see more now was Zhou Jinbai.
Ever since she started dating Zhou Jinbai, Su Li's temper has also improved. She found that she was very arrogant towards Zhou Jinbai. When she was with Zhou Zexi before, she was very cautious in doing everything, but after being with Zhou Jinbai, she was fearless in doing anything.
Because she knew that as long as she frowned, Zhou Jinbai would definitely coax her, and might even stay awake all night because of her little temper.
When Zhou Jinbai was not around, she was looking for trouble and sulking almost every day, wanting Zhou Jinbai to fly all the way over to see her. But Zhou Jinbai also had his own things to do and could not visit her often, so she would get angry.
It's understandable if she makes a fuss once or twice, but she makes a fuss every day.
I thought Zhou Jinbai would get annoyed if she made trouble more often, but he didn't.
No matter how good the relationship is, it cannot withstand self-destruction. She wanted to control it, but she couldn't.
Every time Zhou Jinbai sent her a video, he didn't know what to do. Every day he was either trying to coax her or on his way to coax her.
Zhou Jinbai asked her through the phone screen, "Did you often act like this before? I remember you used to be quite sensible, but now you've become more willful."
Su Li knew what she was doing. She asked Zhou Jinbai, "Are you impatient already? I haven't argued with you many times, and you think I'm annoying, right?"
Zhou Jinbai smiled helplessly, "Of course I don't find you annoying. I just think you're putting all your energy into being mad. Your body can't handle it, and your work isn't in the right place. How can that work? Or are you mad because I'm often not around? If you feel like you can't live without me, then don't be an actor. If you really can't, come work at my company. We can be together every day."
Su Li blushed at what he said, "Who can't live without you? I don't. Even without you, Zhou Jinbai, I can still live a fulfilling life. Don't think too highly of yourself."
Zhou Jinbai nodded, "Okay, I'm being sentimental. But can you please stop getting angry at yourself all the time? You're so young, and you've made yourself sick from anger."
Su Li often thinks about her relationship with Zhou Jinbai, and she doesn't know whether it will ever see the light of day. Anyway, she feels uncomfortable whenever she thinks of Zhou Jinbai, fearing that she has wronged him too much.
A man who is so powerful in the Beijing circle is acting so aggrieved in front of her. Any other man would break up with her.
But Zhou Jinbai didn't. What he said before was true. Although he was a little older than her, he was indeed more caring.
She is emotionally stable and will not ignore her because of some unfounded little temper of hers.
Only after seeing what other men are like will you know how good Zhou Jinbai is.
It was so good that when she thought of this person, she inexplicably felt sorry for him.
She felt that she should be nicer to Zhou Jinbai, and later she stopped making trouble so often.
Zhou Jinbai also noticed it and praised her generously, "Little Lizhi has grown up and no longer bothers me for no reason. I am very relieved."
Su Li asked back, "You're not happy if I don't bother you? Do you only feel comfortable if I get angry with you every day?"
Zhou Jinbai replied, "That's not the case. It's just that when you don't cause trouble, I feel like you don't care about me that much."
Su Li, “…”
Okay, okay, in front of Zhou Jinbai, she only cares about him when she is looking for trouble. Then Su Li will stop pretending and return to her previous state, finding trouble for him every few days.
"The Merchant Daughter of the Qin Family" received rave reviews as soon as it was broadcast. There were no skin-smoothing filters and the pictures looked very real. I have to say that Huang Sijing is really good at taking pictures. He is worthy of being a big shot who has won a photography award. Every frame of the picture can be used as a wallpaper.
The new face Su Li has officially come into everyone's sight. In the early days of the show, everyone sneered at her and felt that the acting skills of such a good actor Chen Yusheng were wasted.
As a result, within just two episodes, everyone was really attracted to her, especially the brave image of Qin Hao, who dared to resist the shackles of marriage in that era. It made everyone feel excited and at the same time, they all lamented the difficulties of women in the old times.
It did not disappoint everyone's expectations. It is a relatively daily main-theme period drama. After a week of airing, Su Li frequently appeared on the hot searches because of her stunning beauty.
"The Merchant Daughter of the Qin Family" leads the National Day box office with its luxurious lineup and superb acting skills of the actors. The heroine Su Li is probably a dark horse and everyone is optimistic about her.
In just half a month, Su Li's fans exceeded 10 million, and the entire Internet began to support her and Chen Yusheng's couple.
Chen Yusheng did not avoid suspicion at all and always liked Su Li's Weibo, which made everyone think that the two leading actors were about to get married.
Of course there are still people who curse, but there are more people who bless.
Chen Yusheng’s fans directly gave gifts in Su Li’s comment section.
[Although I think Brother Chen should be beautiful on his own, if Sister-in-law is so capable and beautiful, I am willing to step aside and let you two be together. [Dog head holding a rose]]
[This is so pleasing to the eyes! How come you are so beautiful? Is Nuwa showing off? I am the only one who is a mud dot.]
[I'm a fan of my sister's beauty. She looks so good even without makeup. She's amazing.]
[Please produce more works, seriously. Qin Hao is almost coming to an end. Is your next drama not ready yet? ]
Some people either have good looks but no acting skills, or have acting skills but no looks. How did you manage to be so good-looking and have such good acting skills? Wow, I'll save this treasure for now.
Su Li's Weibo is operated by her studio, but she often logs in to her secondary account to check out hot topics and see what jokes are happening in the entertainment industry.
When I clicked on my Weibo, I found that many netizens are still very lovely. Most of the malice in the world is probably dispelled by these warm words.
Life is worth it again.
When her efforts were recognized and she received everyone's support, she was happy, but she didn't know who to share it with.
Sometimes, some warm words really touch my heart. Su Li looked at the warm words one by one, and was no longer insulted by those malicious comments. She felt really happy in her heart.
After reading so many comments, her eyes began to well up. She wanted to share her achievements with others, but after thinking about it, there was no one.
Lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling, she thought that everyone would see her efforts, so even if she didn't share it, everyone would know.
Just as she was thinking, her cell phone suddenly rang. She clicked it and saw that it was a message from Zhou Jinbai.
【When you start to shine, the whole universe will shine for you. 】
I was feeling quite sad at first, but after reading this sentence, a tear rolled down from the corner of my eye.
If Zhou Jinbai hadn't given her this opportunity, she wouldn't have been able to prove herself to others.
Su Li replied to his message while hugging the quilt.
[No matter how bright the stars are, they cannot outshine the sun. You are that sun.]
When Zhou Jinbai saw that she had replied to the message, he called her on video.
Su Li calmed down and answered the phone, asking him why he was still not asleep so late.
Zhou Jinbai said, "I was watching a TV series, watching my woman and another man play a loving couple, I couldn't sleep at all."
Su Li teased him, "Then you'll have a long time to endure in the future. How long can you endure it?"
Zhou Jinbai leaned against the headboard, looking at her face magnified in the camera lens. "Hold on until you can't. You're really famous now, Litchi."
Su Li didn't feel very happy. "I'm famous, but I'm also in trouble. If there's even a little trouble, I'll be ruined."
Zhou Jinbai looked at her face in silence for a few seconds, then said softly, "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
Su Li was not afraid that he would cause trouble, but Zhou Jinbai would not be able to meet her more frequently in the future.
Su Li sighed, "I don't think you're causing me any trouble, but just don't let your son cause me any trouble. I'm just afraid that if he gets sick in the head, he might do something outrageous."
Zhou Jinbai said, "Don't worry, if you don't like it, I can ban him. He won't be able to jump at all."
Su Li, “…”
So how capable is Zhou Jinbai?
Su Li frowned and looked at him, "Uncle Zhou, do you have any extraordinary abilities?"
Zhou Jinbai nodded. "Although I don't have any extraordinary abilities, there's nothing that money can't solve. Since I've been called a capitalist, then it's no problem for me to do what a capitalist can do."
Su Li sighed, "It's you who's so cruel that you even banned your own son."
Zhou Jinbai was indifferent. "It depends on who he's provoking. If the female star I worked so hard to raise is ruined by him, then I naturally won't agree."
Su Li tutted her tongue, "I used to really look down on female celebrities who were exploited. Well, now I'm the one being exploited. I feel a little weird, Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Jinbai chuckled. "How can you be considered as being sexually exploited? Those celebrities who are sexually exploited are sleeping with rich men for benefits without being liked. I like you, and I'm willing to spend money on you. Even if you don't sleep with me, I'll still treat you the same way I should. How can that be considered as sexually exploited? We are both willing, so it's not sexually exploited."
Su Li bit her lip through the screen, "But I want to be dominated by you now, Uncle Zhou, I haven't slept with you for a long time, and I kind of miss your skills."
In one sentence, she successfully stirred up the evil in the man's heart.
Zhou Jinbai exhaled softly, "Don't seduce me through the screen, it will be very uncomfortable."
Su Li was furious and said, "Let me see, let me see how uncomfortable you are."
Zhou Jinbai, "..."
No matter how uncomfortable he felt, he had to maintain his dignity. After a moment's pause, he coldly refused, "Seeing everything will only hurt you. How can you make me uncomfortable just by video chatting with me?"
Su Li retorted, "I didn't, you said it yourself, and you didn't even show it to me. I'm ignoring you."
Zhou Jinbai was helpless. "When you come back, I'll let you see enough. It's cold, take care of yourself and don't catch a cold."
Su Li asked, "Is it snowing in the capital?"
He replied, "Not yet, but it's very cold. It should be cold where you are too. I think the temperature has dropped to several degrees."
Su Li was surprised, "You also know the temperature here?"
Zhou Jinbai replied, "Of course. My wife is there, shouldn't I pay more attention to her?"
Hearing him call her "wife", Su Li laughed, "Who is your wife? I'm not. If I were your wife, why didn't you show me?"
Zhou Jinbai really wanted to kiss her little mouth, "Do you think this is a no-man's land? Are you the only one watching? The network is not safe, and you can't do anything wrong."
Su Li suppressed a laugh, "I see, stingy guy, are you afraid that I'll catch you and threaten you in the future?"
Zhou Jinbai smiled, "Do you dare? Even if I give you a hundred courages, you still wouldn't dare."
It’s not that Su Li doesn’t dare, it’s that she won’t do that kind of thing.
Besides, she didn't need to waste any words when asking Zhou Jinbai for money. He would give her whatever she asked for. There was no need to threaten him.
After half a year, the filming of "The Succession War" was finally completed. When we returned to the capital, it was already spring of the next year and flowers were blooming.
She hadn't seen Zhou Jinbai for several months, and she didn't tell Zhou Jinbai when she came.
When they arrived in Beijing that day, it was around three in the afternoon. Zhou Jinbai was still in the company. Su Li asked him if he was busy, and he said no.
Su Li had never been to Zhou Jinbai's group company building. One day, she suddenly wanted to take a look. She covered herself tightly and took a taxi to find Zhou Jinbai.
But ordinary people couldn't see him at all. The front desk secretary had to make an appointment three days in advance to see Zhou Jinbai.
Su Li was disappointed. She wanted to give him a surprise, but ended up not even being able to see him.
She sent a message to Zhou Jinbai on the first floor.
[It's so hard to meet Chairman Zhou. You have to make an appointment three days in advance.]
Zhou Jinbai was in the office on the top floor. He was actually not busy. After taking a look at the message sent by Su Li, he was a little confused.
What's going on? What do you mean by making an appointment three days in advance?
[Your company's front desk said that you need to make an appointment three days in advance to see you, so I won't look for you anymore. I'm going home.]
Zhou Jinbai's heart skipped a beat.
[You're back? Downstairs? How dare you come looking for me?]
Why can't I find it?
[Don't go, come up quickly. I'll call the front desk and you can go directly to the 15th floor.]
Zhou Jinbai asked his office secretary to call the front desk and tell him that he had an appointment with a guest and asked her to go upstairs directly.
Su Li stood there waiting for a while, and the receptionist called her politely.
"Is this Miss Su? The chairman asked you to go up. Please go straight. There is an elevator over there."
After hearing this, Su Li adjusted her scarf and hat and walked straight to the elevator.
Zhou Jinbai went to the elevator to pick her up. As soon as the elevator door opened, he saw Su Li fully armed.
She was wearing a fluffy bunny hat, sunglasses and a mask, and the scarf alone covered her face.
He couldn't help laughing, suppressing his expression, "Are you a thief?"
Su Li looked around and when she saw that there was no one around, she rushed over and hugged him.
Zhou Jinbai hugged her and took her to the office. "Why don't you go home and wait for me?"
Su Li rested her head on his shoulder, hugged his arm and acted coquettishly, and ended up meeting the female secretary in the office.
The female secretary looked surprised when she saw Su Li holding Zhou Jinbai's arm and Zhou Jinbai bringing her into the office.
Zhou Jinbai said nothing. He went in and closed the office door tightly. Only then did he take off her scarf and sunglasses.
Su Li was also feeling a little hot. She took off her scarf and her hair was messy. Zhou Jinbai straightened her long hair and folded her scarf and placed it on the small sofa beside her.
Su Li glanced towards the door and asked quietly, "Were you seen? They won't spread rumors about you, will they?"
While Zhou Jinbai was tidying up her clothes, he asked, "What are you spreading rumors about?"
Su Li raised her eyes to meet his gaze, "Are you spreading rumors about you bringing a woman into the office? I look so undressed."
Zhou Jinbai smiled softly, "Is that a rumor? Isn't that the truth? My wife came to see me at the company, so what if it was known?"
Su Li frowned, "But they don't know you have a wife, Uncle Zhou, you're not married yet."
Zhou Jinbai said, "It doesn't matter. They will get married sooner or later. They will have to meet the boss lady sooner or later."
Su Li looked at his calm expression and was not satisfied at all. "Why don't you hug me? I haven't seen you for so long, and you don't miss me."
Zhou Jinbai packed her things before holding her and sitting on the sofa. "Of course I don't miss you. I think about you every day, but it's useless. I've always wanted to find time to visit you, but I'm too busy."
Su Li felt that Zhou Jinbai had aged a lot after not seeing him for a few months, and there were a few more fine lines around his eyes. She reached out to smooth out the fine lines around his eyes, "You must not have had enough rest. Look at how many fine lines there are. When I saw you last year, you didn't look so haggard."
Zhou Jinbai looked into her eyes, his heart filled with tenderness, "I miss you so much, my wife, that I become haggard."
Su Li felt a little distressed. "That won't do. You have to rest and take care of yourself. You can't look like an old man. You're only forty years old."
Zhou Jinbai looked at her red lips and wanted to kiss her, but after trying a few times, he held back. "You're forty-two this year, but your time is stuck at the year before last. You're getting older every year."
Su Li hugged him and shook her head, "Not old, not old at all."
Zhou Jinbai raised his head and asked for a kiss, "Give me a kiss, Litchi."
Su Li looked outside his office again and then asked quietly, "Won't they hear us? What if someone comes?"
Zhou Jinbai's Adam's apple moved twice. "Whoever dares to come here at this time, I will definitely not let him have an easy time."
Su Li chuckled, cupped his cheek and rubbed it, "Uncle Zhou is so shameless, doing this in your own office."
Zhou Jinbai didn't refute, "Well, the older you get, the thicker your skin becomes. If I can remain calm even with a beautiful woman in my arms, then what kind of man am I?"
Su Li lowered her head and kissed his lips, "I can't help but fuck you here, Uncle Zhou."
