Chapter 47 My dad is an old cow eating young grass.
Zhou Jinbai continued to bend down and squat to wash her feet, speaking calmly, "You're already so scared, and you still have the mind to be jealous?"
Su Li didn't say anything more after hearing this. She decided to calm herself down first.
She felt scared just thinking about it. She sat there motionless. Zhou Jinbai really treated her like a child. After washing her feet, he brought her a new toothbrush and squeezed toothpaste for her to brush her teeth.
Su Li finished brushing her teeth casually. She looked at Zhou Jinbai's expression for a long time and spit out the mouthwash in her mouth.
She was very young and couldn't remember anything, and her parents treated her like this, right?
She looked at him for a long time without saying anything. He poured out the mouthwash and wrung out the hair to wipe her face.
Seeing her looking at him, Zhou Jinbai asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Li shook her head. What she actually wanted to ask was, Zhou Jinbai had never been in a relationship, so why was he so considerate?
But after thinking about it, she shut up and rolled onto the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt. Although it was almost summer, the temperature was still relatively low.
Spring snow occasionally falls in the north. The already cold weather will be even colder than winter if there is another spring snow.
Zhou Jinbai didn't take a shower either. He washed his hands, feet and face, brushed his teeth, and came out. He put his suit jacket on the chair next to him, turned off the light, and went to the bed to hug her.
The crying next door hadn't stopped yet. Su Li couldn't even sleep. She asked Zhou Jinbai, "Have you talked to her? Why did you cry for so long?"
Zhou Jinbai whispered, "What are we talking about? When I met her father, she was only a teenager. It was more than ten years ago. That year, I came here to participate in the government's bidding for urban construction. I became close to the teacher and stayed at his house every day. That's when I met this little girl. She came to see me every day. When I was supervising on the construction site, she didn't go to school and skipped classes to come see me."
Su Li, “…”
Zhou Jinbai's tone was calm. "To coax her to go to school, I bought her gifts every few days, just to keep her company. After the project was completed, we stopped contacting each other. I would occasionally come to visit the teacher, and see her once during the holidays. The little girl grew up and knew how to avoid suspicion. She's different now. After she finished college, she went abroad and only came back recently."
After Su Li heard this, her heart ached again, and she refused to let him hug her. "Let me go. Since we have such a good relationship, why are you still watching her cry?"
Zhou Jinbai turned over and hugged her. "Look at you, you're still angry even when I tell you the truth. How can you be so scared and still have the energy to be angry with me? Jealousy depends on the situation, right? I treat her as a junior and have never had such thoughts. Besides, now that I have you, it's even more impossible for me to be with her."
Su Li turned her back to him and said, "If I weren't there, you two would have been the one, right? Besides, we're not married yet. If something happens in the future, the probability of her marrying you should be greater than me, right?"
Zhou Jinbai hugged her from behind and said, "Don't worry, if nothing happens with you, I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life. I was a bachelor for the first half anyway."
Su Li snorted, "I'd rather believe that I'm Qin Shi Huang and can unify the world than believe a man's words."
Zhou Jinbai, "..."
Because of this accident, almost everyone did not sleep well that night. Chen Yusheng and Zhou Zexi were anxious to know what happened to Su Li. Zhang Qingchi and Chu Zhining were not released until the second half of the night.
As soon as Zhang Qingchi was free, he contacted Zhou Jinbai, but Zhou Jinbai turned off his cell phone so as not to disturb Su Li's rest. When Zhang Qingchi couldn't get through on the phone, he sent a WeChat message.
Chu Zhining went to find Chen Yusheng. Chen Yusheng still wanted to go to that place. Chu Zhining asked him to calm down, but he couldn't.
He opened WeChat to contact Su Li, only to find that Su Li had sent him another message: [Brother Chen, I'm out of danger, take care of yourself too. I'm at a big shot's house right now, so it's inconvenient to contact you.]
After seeing this message, Chen Yusheng felt a little better, but he couldn't sleep that night.
It was also this incident that made Chen Yusheng realize that all his efforts in the entertainment industry over the years and the fame he had gained were useless. He had never suffered such grievances before, being pointed at and called a "stinky actor" and no one treated him as a human being.
After sitting down all night thinking about this problem, he contacted his father the next day and told him his decision: he would follow his family's arrangements and go into politics, and he would quit acting and take the civil service exam.
After hearing his decision, his father breathed a sigh of relief. "You should have thought of this a long time ago. It's useless for you to make so much money over the years. You don't have the wealth of the capitalists, but you're still suppressed. This is a small matter. If you encounter something like last night again in the future, they won't dare to do anything to you if you have a little status."
Chen Yusheng finally understood what it meant to be "a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death." He would definitely return all the anger he suffered last night.
Zhou Jinbai contacted Zhang Qingchi the next day and said that nothing happened last night and it was just a false alarm.
Zhang Qingchi was so frightened that he couldn't sleep all night. He finally felt relieved after receiving a call from Zhou Jinbai. "Thank goodness you arrived in time, otherwise we would all be doomed. Chu Zhining and I were detained until after 2 a.m. last night. These people really have no respect for the law."
Zhou Jinbai only said, "Don't come to this place anymore. Please be more careful."
When Su Li woke up, Zhou Jinbai was already drinking tea with Li Changji. Li Zhuzhu also got up early and was still in a bad mood, but stayed with Zhou Jinbai and Li Changji.
After she finished washing up and walked out of the room, she saw Li Zhuzhu sitting next to Zhou Jinbai, who was drinking tea with Li Changji. Su Li looked at them without any emotion, and just smiled and said to Li Changji, "Good morning, teacher."
Li Changji invited her to come over and sit down. "Have some breakfast. I'll ask your wife to prepare something delicious for lunch. Would you like some tea?"
Su Li shook her head, glanced at Zhou Jinbai, and said, "My colleagues are still looking for me, so I won't eat for now. I have to go find them and let them know I'm safe."
Zhou Jinbai said, "I've told Lao Zhang, don't worry, eat something before we go."
Su Li shook her head and didn't want to eat anymore. She walked away without saying anything.
Zhou Jinbai stood up and caught up with her. "Lizhi, wait a moment. I'll have a few words with the teacher and then leave."
After looking at him for a few seconds, Su Li told him, "I have to go back and pack my luggage. My luggage is still at the TV station."
Zhou Jinbai pulled her back and said, "I'll go with you later. Let's eat something first."
This was at the mayor's house. Su Li felt embarrassed to argue with him, so she followed him back.
Li Zhuzhu looked at her with eyes that seemed to want to kill her, and the love rivals were extremely jealous when they met.
Li Zhuzhu looked at her for a long time, then suddenly seemed to remember something, "You look like the actress who played Qin Hao, whose name was Su or something."
Su Li smiled politely, "Su Li."
Li Zhuzhu suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, yes, in the drama I was following last year, weren't you dating that actor named Chen? At that time, news about you two was everywhere. How did you suddenly..."
She glanced at Zhou Jinbai, her expression drooping again. "How did you suddenly become Uncle Zhou's wife? Are you secretly married?"
Su Li still smiled appropriately, "Not married yet."
Li Zhuzhu was stunned. "Not married yet? You two slept together last night before you got married?"
Seeing that she was about to get stuck in a rut again, Li Changji quickly interrupted her, "Isn't it normal for adults to fall in love and sleep together? And it looks like they're planning to get married. Stop bothering Xiao Zhou all the time. He's 25 or 26, why is he still acting like a child?"
Li Zhuzhu snorted, "I don't care. Anyway, I want to go to Beijing to open my own studio, and I want Uncle Zhou to arrange it for me."
Li Changji was helpless, "Just do as you please."
Zhou Jinbai showed no emotion. "I can help you. If you don't listen to your father, don't tell him you know me when you go to the capital."
Li Zhuzhu looked at Zhou Jinbai flatteringly again, "Uncle Zhou, you don't spoil me anymore."
Su Li didn't want to look at their expressions and looked away.
Zhou Jinbai stayed at Li Changji's house for a while, waiting for Su Li to eat something, before saying goodbye to Li Changji's family and taking a taxi to Hou Jiangyong's chain hotel.
The incident happened suddenly last night and he didn't have time to book a ticket to catch a flight. Fearing something might happen, he went directly to Hou Jiangyong to borrow the plane and pilot. The plane was parked on the apron of a five-star hotel.
Su Li hadn't shown any emotion the entire time. Zhou Jinbai went out and got a taxi before explaining to her, "Lizhi, believe me, I really only treat her as a junior. If it weren't for her father, I wouldn't have indulged her at all."
Su Li said, "I didn't say anything. I know your world is different from mine, and I don't mean to blame you."
Zhou Jinbai nodded, "That's good, thank you for understanding me."
Although she understood Zhou Jinbai's approach, Su Li still felt unhappy.
But she didn't want to cause trouble for Zhou Jinbai.
He took her to the TV station to pick up her luggage. When Zhang Qingchi finally saw the two of them, he felt relieved.
Su Li went to her residence to get her luggage and didn't want to stay for a moment.
Chen Yusheng and Chu Zhining had already left early, and Zhang Qingchi asked Zhou Jinbai what time the flight was.
Zhou Jinbai replied, "I came here on Lao Hou's private plane."
When Zhang Qingchi heard there was a plane he could take, he naturally left as quickly as possible. "I won't dare come here again. It's too scary. Let's go quickly."
When the group arrived at Hou Jiangyong's hotel chain, Zhang Qingchi sighed, "Old Hou is so extravagant. He even has a helipad in his hotel."
Zhou Jinbai said, "He often travels back and forth between major cities for business, for convenience."
Zhang Qingchi asked, "Then why don't you buy a plane? It would be convenient for you to go anywhere?"
Zhou Jinbai thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's necessary, because I don't have many businesses outside of the city. But now it seems that buying a plane is necessary, in case something happens in the future and I can't get there immediately."
Zhang Qingchi looked at Su Li and said, "Thank goodness you have a man who cares about you so much, Su Li. Choosing Lao Zhou is the best decision you have ever made in your life."
Su Li didn't say anything.
When we arrived in Beijing, it was lunch time at noon, and the private plane was parked on the helipad behind Hou Jiangyong's house.
Zhou Jinbai took a few people to thank Hou Jiangyong and said that he would give Hou Jiangyong the fuel and labor costs later.
Hou Jiangyong couldn't possibly accept his money, so he was relieved to see him return safely.
This matter is actually quite serious, but the outside world has not received any information about it.
If you want to eradicate those deep-rooted cancers, then naturally you have to make as big a fuss as possible.
But in fact, it cannot make it to the hot searches and disappears almost as soon as it appears. The major platforms just want to make some money quietly and do not want to offend the powerful.
But if Zhou Jinbai acts as a pusher, it won’t be that simple.
A person who has been dead for several years suddenly became a hot topic.
#Lan Jiajia#
#Lan Jiajia's truth#
Lan Jiajia is a female artist who became famous once, went to a local TV station, and never came back alive.
She has a pure appearance and was named "National First Love" at the time. Within a year, her fan base exceeded 50 million.
It can be said that no one could be more popular than Lan Jiajia that year. Her posters were almost everywhere in the streets and alleys. Even Yang Enru, who became popular last year because of "Forget River", did not have half the influence that Lan Jiajia had back then.
It was this person who went to that TV station and died of a sudden illness. The official cause of death was that she had congenital heart disease.
But no one knows whether she is sick or not, only her parents know.
For a time, "Lan Jiajia" was on the hot search again, and several marketing accounts were creating momentum and leading public opinion, all pointing the finger at that TV station.
Public opinion on the Internet is one-sided, with everyone demanding that the TV station be shut down to tell everyone the truth.
In fact, Lan Jiajia was not the only actress who was persecuted. Although no one died later, those things did not stop.
No one came forward to testify, as they were all too proud. However, as soon as this trending topic appeared, Chen Yusheng posted a Weibo post on the topic: [Have you ever been treated like a non-human? I have. Just a few days ago, I was subjected to unprecedented humiliation at this TV station. This is the only time in my career that I've been treated like an animal.]
As soon as this Weibo post was released, Chen Yusheng’s fans went crazy and soon attacked the official Weibo account of the TV station.
Zhou Zexi also posted a Weibo post shortly after, tagging Zhang Zhiqiang: [I thought you were a friend, but you turned out to be the devil himself. The "Fengshan Dinner" turned out to be a sex-hunting party. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have imagined there were such powerful people in this world who didn't treat people as human beings.]
However, Zhou Zexi's Weibo post was quickly deleted, but fans with quick eyes and hands still managed to take screenshots. Wow, once the two of them got involved, Weibo became extremely lively.
Some people began digging deeper into the nature of the "Fengshan Dinner," with one Lan Jiajia fan questioning: "The last time Lan Jiajia appeared in public, she posted a Weibo post about the Fengshan Dinner venue. She took many beautiful photos at the time, and sharp-eyed fans dug out the background behind her, but no one paid attention at the time."
Weibo has been really lively these past two days, with Lan Jiajia being a hot topic all the time. A deceased person has been on the hot search list in various ways.
Seeing that if the situation continued to develop, something bad would definitely happen, someone finally couldn't sit still and made Zhou Zexi and Chen Yusheng a hot topic.
#周泽熙周漢白#
#Zhou Zexi appeared at the Fengshan dinner#
#Chen Yusheng Fengshan Dinner#
#Chen Yusheng Red Third Generation#
The news that Zhou Zexi was a rich second-generation began to dominate the entire Internet. Later, all the photos of him at the Fengshan dinner venue were leaked, and the direction of public opinion changed again for a while.
At the same time, Chen Yusheng was also attacked. Someone released the photo of Su Li holding his arm and appearing at the venue. Now the spectators who did not know the truth were all furious.
What's even more explosive is that at the same time Zhou Zexi was exposed to have attended such a dinner, someone mentioned his extramarital affair. Although the hot search was quickly withdrawn, once some things appear, they are definitely not groundless.
Su Li was also sent up there to stay for a while. Weibo has been incredibly lively these days.
Once Chen Yusheng's identity as a third-generation red was exposed and he appeared in such a place, everyone began to question his background.
Chen Yusheng only posted a clarification on Weibo, which can be regarded as a complete farewell to his career in the entertainment industry.
He wrote in his copy:
[I debuted at the age of fifteen and have been in this circle for more than twenty years. I love this job and have always been conscientious, only striving to do my best. I am worthy of my career and my identity. I have never done anything to let others down, and I am open and honest.
It was only recently that I realized that you will not be respected just because you have achievements. I did appear at this dinner, but I didn't know it was a trap at the time. After recording the latest episode of the show, several of us artists received dinner invitations from some local bigwigs. We had no right to refuse, and they sent a special car to pick us up.
I thought it was just a meal, but when I arrived I found out that it was a carnival party for a group of playboys. Although I have never seen any big shots there, I know clearly that these playboys are just small fry, and the ones who didn't show up upstairs are the real big guys. As for their identities, I don't know.
I was beaten up and thrown out. They pointed at my nose and called me a "stinking actor". If my agent hadn't informed my family about my schedule, I think I would not have been able to get out that night.
That’s right, that night, I was the prey of a group of big guys at the “Fengshan Dinner”. They wanted to treat me as a toy, and I knew it in my heart.
Originally I was a victim, but the recent public opinion has dragged me into the abyss. I used to be quite calm, but after experiencing this incident, I think I am not suitable for the entertainment industry. This will be the last Weibo I post.
I hope my fans and moviegoers can understand that I have my own lofty ambitions, and I don't want to be stared at like a toy anymore.
He never mentioned Su Li from beginning to end. He knew that Su Li still wanted to stay in this circle. If he brought her in, she would be finished.
But some people still asked, why did Su Li appear with him?
Chen Yusheng rarely responds to Weibo users, but after seeing this question, he replied: "Because I was short of a female companion, she had just finished filming the latest episode of a variety show with me, so I asked her to come along and support me. If it weren't for the sudden accident, I think she would have become a victim as well."
As soon as Chen Yusheng posted this Weibo, the "Fengshan Dinner" became a hot topic. Everyone felt sorry for Chen Yusheng, thinking that he, a third-generation red, was not treated as a human being, so how would others be treated?
The truth behind "Lan Jiajia's" death has once again become a hot topic, with more and more versions appearing. Some are so bizarre that even novels would not dare to write about them.
The caption on the most gruesomely dressed screenshot reads: "A friend of mine performed the autopsy on Lan Jiajia. He said he'd never seen a girl die so tragically. Not a single part of her body was intact. Her arms and legs were broken, her stomach was empty, her organs gone, and only her intestines were exposed. The body had been sewn together by someone else. It was unimaginably horrific."
But no one knows what the real truth is.
Everyone is calling for the truth, and waves of trending searches are being pushed up, but what is the actual use?
After Su Li returned to Beijing, she stayed at her parents' house for a long time before she recovered. During this period, Huang Sijing called her and asked if she had time to audition, but she turned it down. She loves acting so much, but she was really hurt this time.
After listening to her story about this experience, Su Quan and Yu Luo felt their scalps tingling. She didn't say how she escaped, but only said that some people were too scary.
During this period, she did not contact Zhou Jinbai. She turned off her phone and slept at home for three days. Yu Luo was afraid that something might happen to her, so he did not go to work and stayed at home with her.
After she recovered, Yu Luo and Su Quan suggested, "Why don't we just stop hanging out in that circle? Just find a job that can support you."
Su Li didn't know what to do and was very confused.
After staying at home for a week, she went to Jiangshan Film Studio.
I haven't contacted Zhou Jinbai for a long time. When I asked him what he was doing, Zhou Jinbai said he was busy setting up a personal studio for Li Zhuzhu.
Li Zhuzhu came to Beijing to develop her career, and Li Changji asked him to take better care of her.
After hearing this, Su Li said nothing. She said a few words to him and hung up the phone.
She sat alone at the door of Jiangshan Film Studio for a while, then went upstairs to pack her luggage.
Then he found an agent and put Jiangshan Film's villa up for sale.
She left Jiangshan Film and never contacted Zhou Jinbai again.
WeChat and phone numbers were not blocked either.
After finally receiving news from Zhou Jinbai, she only sent him one message: [Let's break up. I wish you happiness.]
Zhou Jinbai quickly replied: "Are you angry again? You've been at your parents' house lately, so I didn't bother you. I wanted you to have some peace and quiet and rest. If it's because I didn't visit you, then I apologize."
There was no reply after that. Zhou Jinbai called her again and again, but she felt nothing.
She didn't know if it was because she had experienced life and death or something else, but she felt that nothing mattered anymore and being alive was the best thing.
She packed up and went out to travel, leaving Zhou Jinbai's time to Li Zhuzhu.
In fact, Li Zhuzhu was already living in Zhou Jinbai's house. When Zhou Zexi finally returned home after the public opinion storm, he saw Li Zhuzhu living in his house.
He didn't recognize Li Zhuzhu and thought she was the woman Zhou Jinbai had been hiding in the dark. Zhou Zexi glanced at the woman watering the flowers in front of the villa, walked into the villa gate, and asked Jiang Wen, "Where's my dad?"
Jiang Wen said, "I'm not at home. I've been busy looking for a place for Miss Li to open a studio."
Zhou Zexi looked at Li Zhuzhu for a long time, then asked Jiang Wen in a low voice, "My dad's woman?"
Jiang Wen shook his head, "No, she's the daughter of a friend of the master."
Zhou Zexi sneered, "Come on, I've already seen her in Hainan. My dad is getting married, and he brought her back now? She looks younger than me. An old cow is eating young grass."
Jiang Wen, “…”
Zhou Jinbai went to Su Quan's house to look for Su Li, but couldn't find her. He then returned to Jiangshan Film Studio. As soon as he parked his car, he saw a sign hanging outside the locked gate. It read: [This villa is for sale. Please contact... for details.]
Following that was a phone number, which was obviously not Su Li's.
Zhou Jinbai called the number to inquire about the situation. The other party sounded very enthusiastic. "Boss, if you buy now, you can get a discount. Are you paying in full or taking out a mortgage?"
Zhou Jinbai pursed his lips and simply asked, "Where did she go? Why did she sell the house?"
The other party was stunned when he heard this, "I don't know either. She asked me to help her take action as soon as possible. Look..."
Zhou Jinbai hung up the phone before she finished listening. He called her again, but no one answered.
He didn't get a reply to the message, but he sent it anyway.
[You want to kill me? Where did you go?]
