Chapter 108 I'm Not That Reluctant
Zhou Jingyu was not only angry when he thought of Chen Zhan, but he was also so angry that he would die if he looked at the things on the ground for one more second, let alone taking them all back.
He decided not to care and let Xie Huaiqian pick it up and pass on the message himself.
Xie Huai thought to himself that his second uncle thought too highly of him. His fourth uncle didn't even have Chen Zan's contact information, let alone him. But seeing that Zhou Jingyu was so angry that his face turned blue, he decided not to get into trouble for now.
So after this gathering, no one dared to mention Chen Zan in front of Zhou Jingyu again, for fear of being angered like Xie Huaiqian.
It was Spring Festival again, and a group of high-ranking family children gathered together, with many people talking and chatting. Among these people, Zhou Jingyu was the fastest rising, having risen another level in the past six months.
After all, he has strong working ability and tough methods, so he naturally became the most talked about person among these young people.
Even in the past six months, some people dared to send people to Zhou Jingyu to curry favor with him, but they were all sent back and taught a lesson, and the company was also investigated every few days.
So those people were frightened by Zhou Jingyu's method and never dared to give people away again.
Chen Zan, the only woman who appeared next to Zhou Jingyu, was remembered.
I don't know who brought up what happened last year. When Zhou Jingyu came back from Rongchuan last year, he brought a female college student with him. Zhou Jingyu doted on her so much at that time that he even peeled the grapes by himself. Everyone at the party saw it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this topic was brought up, someone stopped it and said, "We can just talk about this in private, don't bring it up in front of Master Zhou Er."
"Are there any taboos here?"
"I can tell you just got back. That female student you mentioned is very bold. Not only did she kick Zhou Jingyu out, she also secretly ran away from home. Even Zhou Jintang's group of young ladies don't dare to mention this person or woman in front of him. You'd better be careful."
"And this strange thing?"
"More than that, anyway, Zhou Jingyu risked his life to save people in Rongchuan. That little girl is also somewhat related to the Xie family. Anyway, her identity is not simple, so it's better not to mention it."
"What does it have to do with the Xie family? I only know that the Wei family has some connection with the Xie family. Because of this incident, the Xie family's relationship with the Zhou family has been quite strained for the past six months. It doesn't matter to the younger generation."
"Shh, this is a taboo, don't mention it."
"So it sounds like Zhou Jingyu is infatuated?"
"It's not infatuation. Any of us would feel unhappy if we were dumped. Besides, he's in a high position now and has a stronger self-esteem. Anyway, let's not talk about it."
“…”
Everyone talked about Chen Zan, the legendary woman, in private, but with so many people talking, it was inevitable that the news would reach Zhou Jingyu's ears.
As it happened, when those people gathered together to discuss this matter, Zhou Jingyu and Zhou Jintang had just entered the hall. They didn't have time to finish their conversation and heard it all.
Zhou Jintang's face darkened at that moment. "Who dares to let you fabricate things about my second brother? Believe it or not, I will have someone investigate your group and see which of you can withstand the investigation."
The eldest daughter was arrogant and domineering, and no one dared to offend her. The group of people were immediately scared and wanted to go forward to apologize.
Zhou Jingyu waved his hand lightly and told them to go away.
He threw his coat to the waiter to hang up, and walked into the innermost private room nonchalantly. Jiang Yushan, Han Shengyuan, Xie Huaiqian and his group were already waiting there, and when they saw him come in, they all called out to him obediently.
"Second brother."
"Second uncle."
Zhou Jintang stamped his feet and chased after him, probing him: "Second brother, you're not angry when they say that to you?"
When the others heard this, they all looked sideways.
"What happened? Why did the young lady get angry?"
Seeing Zhou Jingyu's indifferent attitude, Zhou Jintang simply said, "It's all about those people gossiping about Second Brother and Sister Chen."
Xie Huaiqian quickly shut up, fearing that he would be angered again.
Jiang Yushan coughed lightly and quickly asked someone to deal the cards to liven up the party. He didn't want a good party to end in a bad mood.
The others also pretended to change the subject. Jiang Yushan winked at Han Shiyue, asking him to take care of the girl.
Zhou Jintang was so angry that she sat next to Zhou Jingyu and glared at him. Han Shiyue had no choice but to put down the cup in her hand and stood up to go over, intending to take the man out to talk to him and stop him from constantly interfering with her second brother's lungs.
Zhou Jintang asked Han Shiyue to stand further away. He couldn't control this matter. After a long while, he couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, what's the big deal? Look at how people are making up stories about you. If you still care about Sister Chen, you can't go abroad. I'll go find someone for you."
Jiang Yushan had a headache: "Miss, can you please be less talkative during the New Year?"
Zhou Jintang snorted, "No, I'm angry."
The eldest lady spoke, and the others chimed in, "Second brother, if you still like Miss Chen, the eldest lady and I will help you go abroad and bring her to you."
"Add me in. It's convenient for us to go abroad anyway."
"What's going on?" Jiang Yushan was defeated by these little brats.
Zhou Jintang looked up: "Who is making trouble? That's my second brother's first love."
Well, in Zhou Jintang's eyes, it doesn't matter if a family member dumps someone else. If a family member is dumped, it would be fine if only those who are familiar with him know about it. But now the news is spreading more and more, and everyone is laughing at it.
The main reason is that his second brother has returned to his old attitude of not being interested in women, which makes people feel that he has not completely let go of Sister Chen, otherwise he would not get angry when he heard others mention her.
Jiang Yushan subconsciously looked at Zhou Jingyu. Everyone in the room was waiting for him to speak, as if as soon as he opened his mouth, these little brats would help him snatch people away.
Jiang Yushan asked, "Second brother, do you want to say a few words?"
Zhou Jingyu leaned back in his chair, his long legs crossed in a lazy manner. Upon hearing this, he raised his thin eyelids and said in a dull tone, "What did you say?"
He has a sharp and handsome appearance, and a noble and lazy demeanor. When he doesn't show any expression, he seems to be heartless and disloyal.
No matter who says that the second son of the Zhou family has no women around him, he only dated one after going to Rongchuan and was dumped. Just looking at his face, it seems unbelievable.
Jiang Yushan cleared his throat and said, "Just talking about Chen Zhan's matter. If you really can't let it go, we can find a solution for you."
Hearing this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, he laughed briefly, and threw down a card indifferently.
The voice was nonchalant and indifferent: "It's just Chen Zan. If she leaves, she'll leave. It's not that I must have her. I'm not that reluctant to let her go."
This attitude was completely different from the one Xie Huaiqian had when he mentioned Chen Zan when he came back in November. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. So did this mean he had let it go?
Xie Huaiqian breathed a sigh of relief. This was a good thing, right?
Well, those who were watching the fun dispersed.
That's right, Chen Zan is just good-looking. There are so many beautiful women in the capital, and Zhou Jingyu is indeed not obsessed with this one.
So the latter sentence gradually spread, and as time went by, the joke faded, and no one mentioned Chen Zan anymore.
On the other hand, Zhou Jingyu's rank has been rising over the years, and he has gradually begun to have real power in his hands. In just a few years, he has become the executive deputy mayor of Beijing, in charge of the Finance and Development Committee.
Just being able to sit in this position at this age is enough to attract criticism and make people jealous.
Unfortunately, that person was Zhou Jingyu. He was originally sent to Rongchuan to eradicate the cancer and returned with real merit. However, he was retaliated against and almost lost his life. In addition, the political achievements he has made over the years are all real, and his style of doing things is impeccable. He is truly admirable and convinced.
It's a pity that there has been no woman around him for so many years. In the two years after he entered his thirties, the Zhou family also started to arrange blind dates for Zhou Jingyu. From family background to education to appearance, they were picky again and again. The process of careful selection was like a talent show, and the girls were selected and sent to Zhou Jingyu, but in the end he never even met them.
After asking, I found out that the person was on a business trip to another province.
After several times, his family finally realized that Zhou Jingyu did it on purpose. He didn't go on blind dates or get married, and there was no woman around him. He lived a life as pure and ascetic as a monk. This made it impossible for his opponents who were keeping an eye on his private life and wanted to find some secrets to make a fuss about it to find any fault.
Judging from Zhou Jingyu's style, does it mean she likes men?
Zhou Jintang and the others have been puzzled after hearing the rumors in the capital recently. Didn’t the second brother say that he had let it go a long time ago? Could it be that he hasn’t found anyone satisfactory in all these years? Is he planning to live out his life alone?
