Chapter 173 The Working Class is Fighting Hard
Zhou Chao cursed inwardly.
What kind of situation is this?!
He didn't check the almanac before going out today.
He should have left earlier and not listened to Mr. Zhao's bullshit cooperation.
Anyway, he's just a puppet; not all the money he earns goes into his own pocket.
Why does a working person work so hard?
Now it's all right.
Zhou Ran caught us; it's too late to leave now.
We can't tell the truth yet.
We can't exactly tell President Zhao that they introduced his patricide brother to him as an innocent young woman to accompany him for drinks.
Mr. Zhao was not scared to death, and he ruined Zhou Ran's plan.
Zhou Ran has to kill him!
No, given Zhou Ran's wicked nature, he would probably kill Zhou Chao and make him wish he were dead.
Zhou Chao decided that he should just pretend he didn't know them.
Anyway, given Zhou Ran's current strength, background, intelligence, and ruthlessness...
All of them combined were no match for Zhou Ran.
This also includes his Zhou Dynasty.
We simply can't beat them.
Zhou Chao lowered his head, pretending that he had indeed choked accidentally.
He didn't even give Zhou Ran a second glance.
Mr. Hu didn't care about the stains on his clothes.
I hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to him.
They didn't forget to make amends.
"Is it because you don't like the wine? I'll have someone bring some more good wine. Please have some water to clear your throat."
Zhou Chao looked at the glass of water and silently pushed it away.
Just kidding, he's not blind. It was this Mr. Hu who pulled Zhou Ran out just now.
This person is up to no good.
Stay away from Mr. Hu.
When Zhou Ran deals with him later.
Splattering blood all over his face would be a losing proposition.
"No need, cough cough cough, I'm fine, please continue, don't let me disturb you."
Zhou Chao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about him.
After saying that, he leaned back in his chair and shut up before anyone could say anything.
Everyone exchanged glances at Zhou Chao's attitude.
They were all shrewd people and immediately put what had just happened out of their minds.
Lively atmosphere, drink alcohol.
Director Wang had people dance to liven up the atmosphere.
Guan Yi pulled Zhou Ran behind her and looked at him with her eyes, asking if he was alright.
Zhou Ran shook her head and broke free from Guan Yi's hand.
Guan Yi frowned. Why did it seem like Zhou Ran disliked his touch?
Guan Yi shook her head to shake off this baseless thought.
How could that be?
Zhou Ran liked him so much.
How could it be because of what just happened?
She changed her mind about him.
Guan Yi believes that Zhou Ran still loves him.
It's just because they've moved to an unsafe environment that they're angry and scared.
Zhou Ran noticed Guan Yi's change.
I couldn't help but scoff. People who are too confident are sick.
Guan Yi is a fool who deceives himself.
Mr. Hu kept his eyes fixed on Zhou Ran.
Seeing Guan Yi's unpleasant expression, he was secretly delighted.
You were just pretending to be a good person, now you're being disliked.
President Hu glanced at Zhou Chao and waved to Zhou Ran.
"Come here, sit next to President Zhou, serve him well, and you'll have a life of luxury and wealth in the future."
When Zhou Ran heard him being called, he looked at Zhou Chao.
Zhou Chao's eyes widened, his mind screaming, "Don't come any closer!"
You scoundrel, you tricked me!
Director Wang gave Zhou Ran a push.
"Don't just stand there. It's just a drink. We're here to make sure you don't suffer any losses."
Zhou Ran, following the force, staggered a few steps and stood in front of Zhou Chao.
Zhou Ran smiled brightly.
"Brother, let me pour you some wine!"
"Forehead……"
Oh my god, oh my god.
If there weren't people on either side, and Zhou Ran in front of us...
Zhou Chao almost jumped up and ran away.
elder brother?
This isn't trying to please him, it's a death sentence!
Why are you smiling so brightly?
The last time you stabbed your father, you didn't smile this brightly.
Please let him go; he truly had no ill intentions.
He dutifully acted as a tool.
Please stop messing with me.
Zhou Chao stared at Zhou Ran with pleading eyes.
To others, it seemed that Zhou Chao had been captivated by Zhou Ran's smile.
He stared intently at Zhou Ran.
If Zhou Chao knew what others were thinking, he would definitely jump up and curse them.
He cursed them all, saying they were all blind.
You can't see that it wasn't a stunning love at first sight.
That was a plea for mercy born of fear.
Unfortunately, Zhou Chao was unaware of what others thought.
Mr. Zhao, who was closest to him, sensed something was wrong.
Zhou Chao's expression didn't suggest that he didn't recognize Zhou Ran.
Zhou Chao choked when he realized that he had just seen Zhou Ran.
Mr. Zhao, quick-witted, carefully sized up Zhou Ran.
The boy was cute, innocent, and handsome.
It just looks kind of familiar.
General Manager Zhao turned around to remind Zhou Chao that the other party was still waiting and needed to give a response.
Looking into Zhou Chao's eyes, he instantly understood something.
The two of them look like they were copied and pasted.
They look so alike, could they be brothers?
I heard that Mr. Zhou's father was a son-in-law who married into his wife's family.
I was restless when I was young.
He frequently kept mistresses.
When Director Wang introduced him earlier, he called him Zhou Ran.
What a coincidence! Zhou Ran's surname is Zhou, and the Zhou Dynasty also had the surname Zhou.
Could these two be brothers?
Is Zhou Ran the illegitimate child born to a mistress?
Zhou Chao had investigated and knew Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran did not know the Zhou Dynasty.
That's why Zhou Chao was so distraught when he first met Zhou Ran.
Upon thinking of this, Mr. Zhao's eyes lit up.
Their eyes were filled with the excitement of watching a good show.
What kind of big-budget drama is this?
Is it really that melodramatic and exciting?
It must be said that Mr. Zhao's achievements today are no small feat.
Based on just a few clues, they can guess the truth with remarkable accuracy.
He just never dreamed of it.
They guessed the wrong person.
Zhou Chao was the son of that mistress.
Zhou Ran is the proper young master of the Zhou family.
Since General Manager Zhao remained silent, no one else dared to say anything more.
Seeing that Zhou Chao didn't react, Zhou Ran glared at him and warned him to hurry up and not keep him waiting.
Zhou Chao spoke stiffly.
"Thank you, please have a seat."
The tone should be as gentle as possible.
Mr. Zhao had an expression that said, "I knew it. The two of them were indeed connected."
The others were astonished, realizing that Zhou Chao actually had a taste for this kind of thing; they had thought he was truly averse to women.
Zhou Ran continued acting.
A third of the wine was poured into Zhou Chao's wine cup.
He casually handed it to Zhou Chao.
They even expressed their concern.
"Drinking too much alcohol is bad for your heart, so drink less."
I'm naturally timid.
What if it makes you sick?
He suffered a sudden heart attack and passed away. Where else could he find such a useful tool?
He had previously had someone check the Zhou family's accounts.
Zhou Chao was a bit of a pathological domineering CEO.
I like the forced love approach.
But he has a very sharp mind.
He has a knack for doing business.
Without Zhao Feng, that troublemaker, Zhou's output value has doubled.
Such a useful and obedient person.
Zhou Ran didn't want to bother finding another one.
Allow your subordinates to have some minor, harmless quirks and hobbies.
Zhou Ran should strive to be a tolerant boss.
"Hehe, I understand, I'll be careful."
Zhou Chao took a small sip of the wine.
You can't just throw your drink at your boss for not giving him face.
The Zhou Dynasty wasn't some fool who wouldn't learn his lesson after being given a chance.
Mr. Zhao silently drank and watched the show.
The way Zhou Chao and Zhou Ran get along is so interesting.
Could it be that I guessed wrong about their relationship?
Why does it always feel like Zhou Chao, the ruler of the Zhou Dynasty, is at a disadvantage?
Zhou Ran seems to be more than just a simple person!
A phrase popped into Mr. Zhao's mind: "pretending to be weak to catch a tiger."
The smile reached his eyes.
General Manager Zhao glanced at General Manager Hu, who had brought his men up.
She glanced again at Director Wang, who was greeting everyone, and Guan Yi, who was smiling and drinking with them.
Two or three of them are blind idiots.
Mr. Zhao plans to stand aside and watch this show unfold.
"Good, good, you danced well! Come over and sing a song!"
The minor celebrity who was mentioned is a newcomer who came from a talent show.
When he was called upon, he quickly went up and sang a cappella into the microphone.
The girls who had just finished dancing were already sitting down next to one of the bosses.
The atmosphere in the private room was exceptionally good, truly a place where both host and guests enjoyed themselves immensely.
Zhou Ran felt languid as she listened to the loud music.
Oh dear, he's better suited to places like this; it makes him feel more comfortable.
Zhou Ran poured herself a glass of champagne.
I took a big gulp.
"happy!"
It seemed like he hadn't drunk so heartily in a long time.
"A toast to you! Please, make yourself at home."
General Manager Zhao took the initiative to clink glasses with Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran smiled when she met Zhao's eyes.
The old fox has guessed something.
"good."
"If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."
Meeting Zhou Ran's gaze, General Manager Zhao knew that trouble was brewing today; this friend was no ordinary person!
He quickly moved closer and said something conciliatory.
"Mr. Zhao, you're too kind. I don't need any help at all. It's just that I might need to ask you to take care of me later."
Mr. Zhao's heart skipped a beat.
I wonder if this guy will cause trouble later.
Zhou Chao leaned closer and whispered.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao."
Mr. Zhao felt somewhat relieved, as Mr. Zhou implied that he would cover for him.
Mr. Zhao looked the two of them over again and then silently shut up.
"Mr. Zhao, let me toast you. Thank you for taking care of Guan Yi for so long."
Director Wang brought Guan Yi over and took the initiative to toast General Manager Zhao.
General Manager Zhao smiled and raised his glass to clink glasses with Director Wang.
Guan Yi took the initiative to come over and clink glasses with President Zhao.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhou Ran holding a wine glass, leaning on Zhou Chao's shoulder as she drank.
A surge of anger flashed through my mind.
She was acting like a chaste and virtuous woman just a moment ago, ignoring everyone, but after just one drink, she's already practically clinging to him.
Zhou Chao silently let Zhou Ran lean against him.
Was Zhou Chao moved?
They dared not move an inch.
Zhou Chao and Zhou Ran were brothers.
However, their backgrounds and experiences dictate that they will inevitably be competitors.
This is the closest the two have been since Zhou Ran returned.
It was when Zhou Ran dealt with Zhou Chao last time, snatching the knife from his hand.
That was the only physical contact between the two.
Zhou Chao would never dream of living peacefully with Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran was now leaning on his shoulder drinking, and Zhou Chao was frozen in place.
I dare not move an inch!
"Xiao Ran, you've had too much to drink. I have some hangover medicine here, take some."
Guan Yi handed over the hangover medicine and warm water.
Guan Yi smiled shyly at Zhou Chao, who was looking over.
“My friend can’t hold his liquor, and I’m worried he’ll drink too much, so I’ll give him some hangover medicine first! I hope Mr. Zhou won’t mind.”
"I don't mind!"
Guan Yi felt relieved upon hearing this, but was worried that Zhou Chaozhen might take a liking to Zhou Ran and protect her.
It seems now that he only has a good impression of her, not to the point of protecting her.
Guan Yi handed the hangover medicine and water to Zhou Ran.
"Xiao Ran, be good, you won't feel uncomfortable after drinking it."
Zhou Ran half-raised her eyelids and looked at Guan Yi.
Are you sure I'll feel better after drinking it?
"Yes, you won't feel uncomfortable after drinking it. Trust me, I won't hurt you."
Guan Yi gently coaxed him, as if coaxing a disobedient child.
"Who do you think you are to me? Why should I believe you?" Author's Note: Thanks to my mentor 9492239 for their support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
