Chapter 60 Greed 3 Little Green Peach
After saying this, Kong Yanze felt that he was right, but everyone around him was silent. Kong Jiayu also had a hopeless look on his face. Mr. Zhou was flattered by his father like this, is it possible that they are not of the same generation? He is of the same generation as his father, so it is wrong to call him uncle?
Kong Yanze's cry for help was blocked by Kong Jiayu, so he could only look up at Mr. Zhou, whose smile deepened. Mottled light and shadow fell on his eyebrows, and Kong Yanze looked carefully and found that his pupils were dark blue, very special.
Is it because he is too familiar?
"Well? Hello, Mr. Zhou?"
Kong Yanze shook his hand again, feeling a bit stuck, and smiled at him awkwardly. Mr. Zhou loosened his hand first, and rubbed his fingers subconsciously. Kong Yanze's face turned pale again, and he spoke loudly again in a hurry.
"Haha, Mr. Zhou, you you..."
He lowered his brows, looked at Kong Yanze meaningfully, and suddenly spoke to break the awkward atmosphere.
"Zhou Boqiao, that's my name. Don't be so polite, it's okay to call me Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Baiqiao's expression was very calm, only his eyes seemed to have gravity. But Kong Yanze only felt the scrutiny and alienation, the attitude of a strange elder looking at a young man.
He noticed the little bad things he did, felt his embarrassment and helplessness, and calmly indulged the young man's ignorance, gave him a little face, and also revealed one. Kong Yanze felt his condescending attitude, but he didn't find it annoying.
"Then Mr. Zhou, please move over. I'll show you the room?"
Kong Heng stepped forward and spoke politely, but when he stood in front of Zhou Baiqiao, he felt much shorter than him in every aspect. Kong Yanze took the opportunity to withdraw and stood next to Kong Jiayu.
"What's going on?"
As he spoke, his eyes were still looking at Zhou Baiqiao, mainly because he felt guilty. He had just been stained by the boss, and now that it had been gently wiped away, he felt as if he had also been stained with hair, and felt a little guilty and embarrassed.
"You're asking Mr. Zhou? I can only say that you should bow your head and behave yourself in front of him. No, you should stay as far away from him as possible."
The large group of elites in formal attire left again, and Kong Jiayu stayed beside him to instruct him. Kong Yanze was about to ask a few more questions when he saw Zhou Baiqiao, who was standing at the front and was particularly conspicuous, suddenly look at his little peach tree and smile.
"Did you hear me? The farther away from him the better."
Kong Yanze sat down next to the shelf and propped up his face to look at Kong Jiayu.
"Is it my turn to get close to him? Old... ahem... our dad is licking him so hot."
Kong Jiayu also sat down. His tense face broke and he couldn't help but laugh while lying on the table.
"Uncle, you're the only one who dares to shout."
Kong Yanze crossed his legs, spread his hands and smiled: "Our father praises him so much, if he didn't look so young, I would have thought he was Kong Heng's uncle, so I have to call him uncle."
After saying this, Kong Yanze recalled Zhou Baiqiao's handsome face and laughed out loud: "Super seniority."
"What's so funny?"
Chang Qiuyi was wearing a Chinese-style sky-blue cheongsam today, with her long curly hair tied up behind her head. It was a rare occasion that she put on some light makeup today, and she looked charming and radiant.
"Aunt Chang, how dare you go out today? The flowers in the yard are so beautiful because of you that they don't want to bloom." Kong Yanze immediately offered kind words, and Kong Jiayu muttered that he was smooth-talking.
Aunt Chang fanned herself with a small fan: "It's so beautiful, so hurry out and let everyone see it."
Kong Jiayu immediately exposed Kong Yanze's past: "Aunt Chang, this guy just met Zhou Baiqiao dressed like this and called him Uncle Zhou."
Chang Qiuyi took out a tissue and handed it to Kong Yanze, not caring at all.
"It's not wrong to call him Uncle Zhou. He should be almost thirty this year, twenty-nine already. It's okay for your brother to call him uncle."
"Aunt Chang, do you know Mr. Zhou?" Kong Yanze was a little curious. He had never heard of such a person.
"Are you particularly curious seeing your father serving him like his grandson?" Chang Qiuyi covered his mouth with his hands and laughed, hitting him with the fan. When he turned around, he saw Kong Jiayu also had a curious look on his face, so he hit him again.
"Zhou Baiqiao, it's normal that you don't know. Their family is in Country B, and they made their fortune early. Several generations ago, there were people who were awarded lordships and medals."
"This generation's Zhou Baiqiao is young, but he's a tough guy. His uncles and aunts from the previous generation were full of troubles, and his parents died early, so he fought his way up. He has probably taken over the Zhou family in the past two or three years, and he has monopolized power."
"Such a huge consortium, any move would involve more money than you can imagine. It's not money at all, just a string of numbers. He cut off the roots of such a complicated faction inside and was able to take power alone. This person cannot be explained in just a few words."
After Chang Qiuyi finished speaking, he saw that the two brothers had idiotic expressions on their faces, as if they were listening to some legendary story.
"You two kids!" She couldn't help laughing and ruffled their hair. Kong Yanze stroked his hair casually without caring, while Kong Jiayu sighed as he fixed his hair.
"They came to China to take inventory of their property. Their property here has been abandoned for too long and they haven't taken care of it yet. They're staying here for one day."
Kong Jiayu immediately asked: "Can he help..."
"He is not someone your father can get close to. Besides, he has left all his properties in China for fun. This trip is like a half-time vacation. There is no need to offend the Wang and Fang families for the Kong family. Your father just wants to get in on the fun as much as possible."
"Offend the Wang family and the Fang family?" Kong Yanze doesn't understand business. He only knows eight beats and dancing. He doesn't understand how just helping or not helping can offend people?
Kong Jiayu explained to him: "Jinnan's project has high risks and high returns. If they don't help, it may not be because they are waiting for the Kong family to be dragged down and then enter the market to grab the meat. And if Jinnan has problems, it may not be without their hand."
"It's hard for a powerful dragon to defeat a local snake. What's more, Zhou Baiqiao has no intention of eating the cake from China. He only entered the market for a favor and offended two aristocratic families. It's not worth it for him anyway."
Chang Qiuyi nodded approvingly. Kong Yanze seemed to understand, but he was too lazy to ask further questions. These were too far away from him. In his eyes, apart from ballet, there were only his little peach tree, Aunt Chang, and his brother.
Even if I told him about those business projects or collaborations, it would be like shouting to someone who was distracted from afar. He couldn't hear it clearly and it couldn't penetrate into his world.
"Yan Ze is almost falling asleep while listening." Chang Qiuyi saw that Kong Jiayu could not hold it in any longer, and smiled as he looked at Kong Yan Ze who was lying on the table and secretly rolling his eyes.
Kong Jiayu suddenly stopped talking, and the smile on his face faded. "He doesn't understand these things, and he won't understand even if I tell him."
"It's like a heavenly book, boring." Kong Yanze yawned after not taking a nap. His cheeks were pressed on the small round table, and his pair of eyes with clear black and white turned around.
"Aunt Chang's stories are still interesting."
Kong Heng was not at dinner, so Zhou Baiqiao naturally did not come to eat with them. Kong Yanze bit his chopsticks and wondered if the food he ate was prepared by a chef in Country B and then transported by helicopter.
"You look so stupid." Kong Jiayu was obviously in a good mood today and laughed at the way he was daydreaming while biting his chopsticks.
Kong Yanze didn't bother to argue with him. After dinner, he strolled from the garden in the front yard to the small flower hall, passed the screen wall and walked towards his yard through the moon gate.
Of course, he went to see his little peach tree. The night breeze was cool, and the lights in Xiaoguanlan were on, so the moon was not that useful. Kong Yanze walked and ran, and then jumped a few steps lightly on the lawn. He just happened to hold the little peach tree with his hands, like a prince hugging a princess, with a relaxed and casual posture, and light and agile.
"very nice."
The voice suddenly came from behind him. Kong Yanze was so scared that he squatted again, then stood up again holding the tree trunk. He turned around and saw Zhou Baiqiao in loose casual clothes.
His hair was scattered in front of his forehead, and his slender fingers held a lit cigarette, which flickered in the night wind.
"Ah, Uncle Zhou, good evening." He said this somewhat reluctantly.
This is so embarrassing. The servants are all in the front yard and no one is here at this hour.
"It seems that I am not very happy when you see me at night." Zhou Baiqiao put one hand in his pocket, his posture was leisurely, and his jokes were made casually, as if just to ease his embarrassment.
"It seems they didn't tell you." Zhou Baiqiao turned around and raised his chin, then raised his hand and put it down to exhale a puff of cigarette: "I'll bother you for a while, I live there."
Kong Yanze followed his gaze and saw that he was arranged to live in the single-family house over there, just opposite his yard. He didn't know what to say, so he answered him subconsciously.
"What a coincidence! I live there."
Zhou Baiqiao nodded slightly without looking over there. He just hummed and lowered his eyes to look at the peach tree. He didn't seem to care much and just responded politely.
"Uh... Uncle Zhou, I'm sorry about that time during the day."
Kong Yanze didn't know whether to leave or not, and he felt uncomfortable. He suddenly remembered that his hands were covered with hair during the day. Zhou Baiqiao was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at him, then raised his hand and rubbed his fingers in front of him.
"This matter?"
Ye Yanze had just heard about the story of Long Aotian, the powerful warrior, and had also seen his father flattering him so much, so he found it a little funny to see him like this.
Zhou Baiqiao moved his eyes down a little and swept across his pursed lips.
"It's okay, but...can I ask for an apology?"
Zhou Baiqiao looked at the peach tree again, walked half a circle, and said, "When it's ripe, I want this peach."
Kong Yanze couldn't help laughing and snorted twice. He thought it was funny to see him being so serious. He walked over and poked his head in and found that it was the small green fruit he had rubbed during the day.
He didn't think much about it and nodded quickly: "Okay! I'll go back and find a net to cover it."
"No need." Zhou Baiqiao seemed to have no idea what he was laughing at. He looked at him while biting the cigarette holder and said, "Just let it grow naturally. It will be delicious no matter what it grows into."
Kong Yanze seemed to understand, but he did nothing anyway. After this incident, he completely lost his vague fear of Zhou Baiqiao and spoke boldly.
"This is the first year it has borne fruit. Uncle Zhou, you came at the right time."
Zhou Baiqiao looked at him and answered him with a hum, then said, "It doesn't have many fruits, are you willing to give it up?"
Kong Yanze smiled and said, "I am willing to give it to you, but I will definitely only give it to you."
"Why?"
"Because..." Kong Yanze raised his right hand and rubbed it like he did just now. "This."
Zhou Baiqiao laughed and lowered his eyes, and Kong Jiaze saw the little mole again.
"Then you have to remember it." Zhou Baiqiao looked up at him. He had an oriental appearance, with long straight eyelashes, thick black hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, and the tails of his eyes were pulled flat.
"If you don't give it to me, I'll come and get it myself."
Kong Yanze thought he was joking, but he had an inexplicable feeling of being valued by an elder. A jewel cufflink on his sleeve was enough to sell many hills to plant peach trees, and now he was discussing the green peaches on such a small peach tree with him so seriously.
"When the time comes, you can take them all away, and I will absolutely cooperate."
Zhou Baiqiao lowered his head and smiled, then turned around and walked back in the night breeze holding the cigarette butt, and waved to him casually.
Kong Yanze looked at the small green peach, carefully memorizing its characteristics so as not to mistake it for a peach. He stretched out his finger and gently touched it.
"You've made it big. The big boss has taken a fancy to you."
