Professor Chu was also worried that the child didn't know the situation and might let it slip to Guo Yao, so he could only tell him and remind him, "Zhou Xiang might be referring to the eldest child. You're interested in the second child, who's currently studying. Would his mother agree?"
Xiao Qian was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Professor Chu was stunned by this, but then he thought about how this kid had joined the army at the age of 18 and knew very little about the ways of the world, so he kindly explained it to him.
"Zhou Xiang's help in bringing this up must be at the parents' request. They're planning on the eldest child, but you're eyeing the second child. It looks like you're picking on someone else's daughter. It also looks like you're being too picky and don't like the uneducated eldest child. So, you can't succeed in either. Change your goals now!"
On the 3rd, the big fish that Lu Jin ordered from the countryside were delivered. Dozens of big fish were released into Yu Lake. Apart from a splash of water, there was no movement. After some special feed given by Boss Zhou was thrown, waves immediately rose on the lake surface, and a group of black swans swam over to grab the food.
After four years, the number of black swans has increased to more than a dozen. Zhou Xiang looked at the group of black swans and told his cousin not to clip the wings of the black swans anymore. With the feed, the black swans would not fly away.
Xie Ling agreed. In recent years, the black swans have just flapped their wings but failed to fly, which has disappointed tourists!
On the 4th, Lu Zhaochong brought back several large cardboard boxes, indicating that he had bought all the sealed bottles available in the city.
Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang poured the liquid medicine in the ceramic pot into the bottle.
On the 9th, Zuo Heng and Li Li’s family of three and Ji Bin and Zhang Ning arrived.
As soon as they saw Zhou Xiang, Li Li and Zhang Ning hugged her and talked about how worried they had been about her over the years.
Zhou Xiang pulled the two of them to sit down and waved to the little girl who was looking at her with round eyes, "Zuo Lin, come here to your aunt."
Zuo Lin looked up at her father, then at her mother who was sitting with Zhou Xiang. She let go of her father's hand and staggered over to Zhou Xiang, "Ah, Auntie."
"Hey," Zhou Xiang responded quickly and happily, "Come, auntie will give you some sweet water."
As he spoke, a small medicine bottle appeared in his hand. It contained a four-fold diluted Pei Yuan liquid. He opened the lid and tried to feed it to Zuo Lin, but Zuo Lin shook her head and stepped back, "No, it's bitter."
Li Li knew what Zhou wanted to take out, and this was what she wanted to find Zhou today. "Linlin, this is not medicine, it's sweet water."
Zuo Lin still retreated. Zuo Heng picked up his daughter and sat on the sofa opposite. He reached out and took the bottle from Zhou Xiang's hand, "Linlin, try it first. If it's bitter, don't drink it."
"Okay." Zuo Lin licked her father's hand with her tongue before opening her mouth and drinking the liquid medicine in the bottle. "It tastes good. I want more."
Zuo Heng looked at Zhou Xiang, who shook his head, "That's enough. Everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme."
Zuo Heng picked up the teapot on the coffee table, poured the tea into the bottle and shook it, then fed it to his daughter.
Zhou Xiang laughed at the interaction between the father and daughter, then turned to tease Li Li, "You don't have much authority as a mother."
Li Li smiled bitterly, "Zuo Heng is too cunning. Every time he feeds me medicine, he asks me to lie to my daughter."
Zuo Heng glanced at his wife and said nothing. Zuo Lin was fed up, "Mom, you're bad."
Everyone in the living room burst into laughter. Zhou Xiang patted Li Li's arm and said, "You need to improve your relationship with your daughter. And be sure not to say bad things about her father, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted."
After teasing Zuo Lin for a while, Zuo Heng finally apologized to Zhou Xiang in a serious tone, "I'm sorry, I didn't do what I promised."
Zhou Xiang waved his hand nonchalantly, "You agreed to work for me, and I didn't stipulate that you must stay in the capital. It's really not easy to stay in the capital without a certain level of pressure resistance, not to mention that you are busy with both family and career!
I'll take a break first, then look for a few suitable projects and continue working on other things."
Zuo Heng breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as Boss Zhou can continue to employ me, that's all I need."
"Have you ever thought about what you want to do?" Zhou Xiang felt that he was wrong again and had destroyed the ambition of a richest man.
Zuo Heng shook his head, "I never thought about it. I feel tired working for you, and it would be even more tiring if it were my own."
Thinking about how Zuo Heng struggled alone in his previous life without parents, sister or family of his own, Zhou Xiang could understand why he had achieved such great success in his previous life. Perhaps, he would have given up everything in exchange for his relatives in his previous life!
"Come back and rest for a while. If you have any ideas, you can bring them up. You know what I said back then was just a joke."
Zuo Heng shook his head and stared at Zhou Xiang seriously, "No, I never took it as a joke. Without you, there would be no reunion of our family, and it would be even more impossible for me to meet Li Li and form the happy family we have now."
"Okay, okay," Zhou Xiang quickly agreed, "Just work for me in the county!" He turned to look at Ji Bin, "Ji Bin, what about your ideal? Back then, you were..."
Ji Bin waved his hand, "It's different now. I just want a stable job and live a good life."
"So what are your plans?"
"I'd better cooperate with Zuo Heng! Li Li and Zhang Ning should rest more."
"Alright," Zhou Xiang nodded, and two small medicine bottles appeared in his hands. They also contained a four-fold diluted Peiyuan liquid. "Whatever your reasons are, I'll give you some help. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Give yourself a year or two. If it doesn't work out, don't you still have test tubes?"
Zhang Ning took one without hesitation and drank it on the spot. A wave of comfort spread throughout her body. She finally understood why people were still rushing to buy something Zhou Xiang made even though it was so expensive. "Thank you."
In fact, in his heart, Zhang Ning had some complaints about Zhou Xiang, complaining that Zhou Xiang did not take advantage of his own favorable conditions, but instead used the identity of Zuo Heng, an outsider, to fight in Beijing.
After spending so much time in the capital, she understood the dual pressures of physical and mental stress, which were truly unbearable for most people. Every day, she wanted to scream and release the pressure in her heart, but there was no suitable place to do so. The strange and indifferent looks from those around her made it impossible for her to even open her mouth to complain.
She had wanted to come back a long time ago, but she was the one who took the initiative to follow Zhou Xiang, and Ji Bin was also enduring silently, so she couldn't open her mouth. Fortunately, when she was about to collapse, Zhou Xiang came back. Fortunately, when she wanted to withdraw, Zhou Xiang had already released them.
Zhou Xiang patted her shoulder and said, "Over the years, at least you have understood and realized a lot of truths. Now that you have returned, your hearts have returned with you."
Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then the slight resentment in her heart disappeared. Yes, after enduring for more than ten years, she and Ji Bin have seen through the gap between dreams and reality.
I once met a few young men who came to the capital with full of enthusiasm, but were cheated and left penniless without even the money for travel expenses. If Zhou Xiang had not pulled Ji Bin together, how would Ji Bin's fate be different from those young men?
If she had not been with Ji Bin, she would definitely have been an ordinary housewife who got married through a blind date, an ordinary woman who still had infinite dreams for Beijing and Shencheng.
After figuring it out, the smile on his face became sincere, "Ji Bin, drink it quickly, this is good stuff."
