Zhou Chengzhi smiled and said to Zhao Hai, "It's alright, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. For now, let's get everyone together!"
"Okay, as long as you're thinking about my share, whether it's people or things, I can take care of it for you!"
"Can I ask you something first?"
"Okay, go ahead!"
Have you seen your father?
"I saw you. You're at the hospital. What happened?"
"He didn't say anything to you, did he?"
"No!"
"Okay, you'd better not tell him about our relationship, okay? Keep it a secret!"
"Okay, but what about the shares?"
"Don't worry, I keep my word and will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
"But we have no proof, can you give me a written agreement?"
Zhou Chengzhi couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hai a few more times. He hadn't expected Zhao Hai to be so much more cunning than his father, actually wanting a written agreement. Once a written agreement was made, it was impossible to change it, no matter what!
Zhou Chengzhi hesitated for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly, "A written agreement? No problem, I can draw it up anytime. But my project isn't finished yet, and the staff hasn't arrived. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"Then when do you think it can be erected?"
"Okay, once I receive the official demolition notice and our demolition team has moved the first house, I'll immediately draw up a written agreement for you, how about that?"
"Okay, I can listen to you. By the way, Mr. Zhou, I've heard that no one who cooperates with you has a good ending. I hope I won't follow in their footsteps."
"Who spread rumors about me in front of you?"
"Why would anyone spread rumors? The facts are right in front of us!"
"Tell me!"
"My cousin became your lackey, right? Didn't he get slept with by your sister-in-law that very night?"
"This...? How can these be compared? Yes, I admit that Erlaitou was once my subordinate, but he didn't last more than twelve hours before I kicked him out!"
"No matter what, he's dead!"
"Yes, yes, absolutely! He's dead!"
"I just heard from your brother-in-law at the hospital that Zhuang Zhennan was found dead on the border?"
Zhou Chengzhi's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "This, this is real?"
Why would I lie to you? Your brother-in-law told me himself, how could that be false?
Although Zhou Chengzhi was very nervous at this moment, he dared not let the smile on his face disappear easily in order to keep Zhao Hai in check. Otherwise, if he could not convince Zhao Hai, then all the future plans would be in vain.
Seeing that Zhou Chengzhi's expression did not change, Zhao Hai knew that this man was quite shrewd. Although there were some things he couldn't say, he was already wary of Zhou Chengzhi.
Zhou Chengzhi said, "Zhao Hai! Since Zhuang Zhennan died on the border, how does he have anything to do with me? I was in the movie theater the whole time, and this has absolutely nothing to do with me!"
"Fine, I won't argue with you anymore. Let's just let this matter drop. But when are you going to give me the written agreement? Only then will I be completely devoted to you!"
Zhou Chengzhi stretched out his hand, looked at Zhao Hai, and said, "Alright, then it's a deal, and I won't go back on my word!"
Zhao Hai had no choice but to extend his hand, and the two shook hands lightly, which was considered to have reached some kind of agreement.
After shaking hands, Zhao Hai stood up and said, "Since it's a done deal, I should go now, lest my dad finds out I'm staying here and breaks my legs!"
"No way! Brother, you've come all this way, stay for a drink! Otherwise people will say I didn't treat you well and mistreated you!"
"Ha ha!"
Zhao Hai laughed and said, "Since it's settled, why worry about not having time? We can do it later! Sooner or later, we'll have a drinking contest until we're both completely drunk!"
"Then it's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
After finishing speaking, Zhao Hai turned and walked out of the office without looking back.
Zhou Chengzhi did not see him off. He watched Zhao Hai walk out of the office and close the door, his eyes never leaving him.
As soon as Zhao Haiyi stepped out of the office and closed the door, his expression changed drastically, becoming somewhat frightening and giving off a particularly chilling feeling.
His hands were clenched tightly, as if he wanted to crush what was in his palm into pieces to vent his anger.
He couldn't help but mutter, "I thought I'd gotten a good-for-nothing, but I ended up with a troublemaker, Han Xin, who's even more formidable than his father."
As Zhao Hai left the office and arrived at the movie theater entrance, he stretched and approached his car, ready to get in and leave, when another large hand landed on his shoulder.
This time, Zhao Hai wasn't intimidated. Instead, he turned his head impatiently and said, "Who is it? How annoying! Putting your arm around someone's shoulder in broad daylight, I'll give you an over-the-shoulder throw!"
But then he saw Wang Jie standing behind him, laughing and saying, "Hey, Brother Zhao Hai, we're like brothers! If anyone gets hurt, no one will feel good!"
Zhao Hai then turned around, pulled Wang Jie's hand off his shoulder, and said, "What do you want? Just say it. We're like family."
Wang Jie glanced at the movie theater and said to Zhao Hai, "What? You're going to collaborate with Zhou Chengzhi?"
Zhao Hai thought Wang Jie was worried that his cooperation with Zhou Chengzhi would affect their cooperative interests, so he quickly said, "Don't worry, Wang Jie, my cooperation with Zhou Chengzhi has nothing to do with you. Although we both get money from Zhou Chengzhi, our roles are different!"
"Is that so? Let's hope so!"
"We've known each other for a long time, don't we have any trust at all?"
"Haha, you're Zhao Hai, not someone else. I might not know about others, but I can tell what kind of shit you're taking just by the way you bend over!"
"In that case, I'll be going now. Let's chat privately when you have time!"
Wang Jie nodded and said, "Okay, but Zhao Hai, as your brother, I advise you not to cooperate with Zhou Chengzhi. Otherwise, you might end up losing both your money and your reputation, and even ending up in jail!"
"You only see other people's dark faces, have you forgotten how long it's been since you washed your own face? You're also working with Zhou Chengzhi!"
"Yes, I am cooperating with him, but I am just doing the manual labor, helping him integrate the demolition team, and earning some money by doing physical labor!"
"Aren't we the same? Just pawns to be manipulated!"
"No, we're different!"
How do you know?
“Your dad is the deputy factory director. You are more useful than me. If you cooperate with him, you will be one of my top subordinates, someone who can watch me work without having to lift a finger.”
Zhao Hai laughed and said, "That's your background, it has nothing to do with me. I'm not talking to you anymore, I have things to do!"
"Alright! I won't stop you, but there's something I have to tell you!"
"Okay, go ahead!"
"Friendship is important, but cooperation should be approached with caution!"
"Haha, I got it, buddy. See you next time!"
"goodbye!"
After watching Zhao Hai leave, Wang Jie went to the newsstand and said to Lin Dongzhe, "Brother, I've tried to persuade him for you, but as for the results, I can't predict them!"
"Thank you, it's good that you did your best!"
"Then I'll get back to work!"
"Um!"
Lin Dongzhe watched Zhao Hai's car disappear down the road, and a sudden unease crept into his heart. However, he knew he had done his part, and the outcome was no longer important.
Lin Dongzhe and Wang Jie's actions naturally caught Wu Shanshan's attention. Although she was eating sunflower seeds and looking nonchalant, she was actually thinking about something.
As soon as she saw Lin Dongzhe and Wang Jie separate, she also left the ticket booth, went into the movie theater, and hurriedly went to her office.
When she saw Zhou Chengzhi covering his forehead with his hand and looking worried again, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Chengzhi sat up straight and said to Wu Shanshan, "Wife, I feel that asking Zhao Hai to be our helper was a mistake. His thinking ability far surpasses that of his father, Zhao Hujiang!"
"Then what should we do? End our cooperation with him?"
"No, I'll turn the tables and use Zhao Hai to gain more benefits."
Wu Shanshan curled her lip and laughed, "Let me remind you, Zhou Chengzhi, be careful you don't end up losing more than you gain!"
"What's the matter?"
"I just saw Zhao Hai and Wang Jie talking very closely. Be careful they don't team up against you!"
