Zhou Jida looked innocent and confused: "Grandpa, are you feeling better?"
"Hmph, you know that's not what I want to hear!" The old man's eyes widened, and he slammed his cane hard, intending to intimidate Zhou Jida with his imposing manner. But could Zhou Jida be frightened? He didn't have much respect for the old man himself.
After all, he hadn't spent much time with the old man in his previous life, and in Zhou Jida's eyes, Old Man Zhou had long been a distant memory. Although he had spent quite a bit of time with Old Man Zhou in this life, so what?
That was Lin Zhida, not Zhou Jida. Actually, he wasn't called Zhou Jida in his previous life, because he was nominally Zhou Jiyun's son, but Zhou Jiyun didn't want to acknowledge him. He wasn't even included in the family generation, so he was just called Zhou Zhida.
There is only one word difference between it and Zhou Zhida.
Zhou Jida shook himself in response, but said nothing. Old Master Zhou was now a frail tiger, a frail tiger. No matter how majestic he had once been, he was now at the end of his life.
In his previous life, he at least lived to be 86. Now the old man is 81. Can he still live to that age?
Thinking of this, Zhou Jida couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
Zhou Jida looked like a dead dog, and Old Man Zhou was naturally furious. He stared at Zhou Jida and said, "You are quite similar to your father in this respect. You are so cruel."
Zhou Jida finally looked up: "Grandpa, I don't understand."
Old Master Zhou snorted coldly, "Don't you understand? If you hadn't told Jiang Cha that the Phalaenopsis orchids in the greenhouse were blooming, would Jiang Cha have gone to the greenhouse so early in the morning? There's no one else here, so there's no need for you to pretend."
Zhou Jida refused to admit it: "I just said that the Phalaenopsis orchid is beautiful."
He denied everything else. It was freezing cold, raining the night before, and the roads frozen the next day. Was that his fault? If anyone was to blame, blame Jiang Cha. He knew she was pregnant with a golden child, but he didn't exercise caution.
Mr. Zhou also knew that even if this matter was brought to light, Zhou Jida would not be able to be punished. Because he really did nothing, but it was precisely because he did nothing that he felt even more aggrieved.
He had experienced many ups and downs in his life and had met countless people. But now he had made a mistake. Even Mr. Zhou could not help but sigh in regret. If he had known that he and Lin Nan would bring such a big change, how could he have let Zhou Jida return to his ancestral home?
But now that the matter was settled, what else could Mr. Zhou do but accept him? Both of his sons were gone, his eldest grandson, Zhou Jiyun, had completely alienated him, and his second grandson, Zhou Jiwen, was about to serve a ten-year prison sentence.
Now that Zhou Jida is the only one left in the Zhou family, he can only hold his nose and train Zhou Jida. Thinking of this, Mr. Zhou sighed deeply: "Tomorrow, you go to the company to learn from your eldest brother."
Zhou Jida pinched his fingers and said, "Yes, Grandpa, will my elder brother be unwilling to teach me?"
Old Master Zhou said sullenly, "Even if he doesn't want to, he has to agree. Isn't he going to the capital? The family company needs someone to take care of it. I'm old, and since you have the ambition, you should work hard on your own."
"Now that all the threats against you are gone, you should be happy."
The last sentence that Mr. Zhou said was filled with resentment, but Zhou Jida pretended not to hear it. With the old man in this state, what could he do to him?
Now that everything was going according to his plan, Zhou Jida suddenly felt that not being Zhou Jiyun's son wasn't such a bad thing. At least the Zhou family's company was still there. He had managed to keep the Zhou family's company in his previous life despite Zhou Zhida's suppression, so there was no reason why he couldn't do that in this life.
The next day, Zhou Jiyun ran into Zhong Guanjia and Zhou Jida as soon as he arrived at the company parking lot. To be exact, the two men were waiting for him in the parking lot.
After Zhou Jiyun got out of the car, Butler Zhong took Zhou Jida to Zhou Jiyun. Zhou Jiyun lowered his eyes to look at Zhou Jida, then looked at Butler Zhong, and suddenly he knew what the old house meant.
He was not going back to the old house, but he did not object when the old house asked him to take care of Zhou Jida.
As long as the kid can handle it, even the mere fact that a five-year-old is working in a company seems unbelievable. But considering that the kid is actually twenty years old, Zhou Jiyun doesn't think it's strange.
Therefore, when he saw Zhou Jida, Zhou Jiyun was very calm. Public is public and private is private. It is a normal company operation, and Zhou Jiyun will naturally not hide it.
How much he can learn is up to Zhou Jida. He won't hide anything from Zhou Jida, but don't expect him to tell Zhou Jida everything in detail.
"Is this what grandpa means?" He had already figured it out in his mind, but Zhou Jiyun still wanted to ask it verbally.
Butler Zhong smiled in a very formal way. "Yes, your grandfather meant that you would be going to the capital in the future, and you would inevitably be unable to take care of our family. He wanted you to take care of Zhida first, and when Zhida can stand on his own, you can let him go."
Zhou Jiyun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I have to see his ability. If he is really incompetent, there is nothing I can do."
Zhou Jida quickly expressed his attitude: "Brother, I will study hard."
Zhou Jiyun glanced at his short legs and said, "Come on, Butler Zhong, go back and take care of Grandpa first. I'll take him to the company."
Butler Zhong watched Zhou Jiyun and Zhou Jida walk away with a smile before getting into another business car.
Along the way, Zhou Jiyun walked very fast because of his height and long legs. Zhou Jida struggled to catch up with Zhou Jiyun by shuffling his calves. He once again missed his former height of 1.8 meters, but now he has short arms and legs. Alas!
Zhou Jiyun was not a bad person after all. After realizing that Zhou Jida could not keep up, he gradually slowed down. Zhou Jida took a breath and said, "Brother, you are a very nice person."
Zhou Jiyun glanced at him and said, "Stop messing around and hurry up. Stand up quickly, I'm busy too."
Zhou Jida knew that Zhou Jiyun would not compete with him for the Zhou family's things, so he did not hesitate to talk to Zhou Jida: "Then big brother, please guide me more. I didn't learn much from Zhou Zhida before."
Zhou Jiyun suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Speaking of Zhou Zhida, he will be executed soon, don't you go see him?"
Zhou Jida curled his lips: "What's there to see? I've seen enough before. Brother, I want to see Zhou Jiwen, can you help me?"
Zhou Jiyun led him into the elevator. After the bodyguard pressed the button, he looked at Zhou Jida: "Help you with what? Help you to stimulate Zhou Jiwen? Do you want to tell Zhou Jiwen that Jiang Cha had a miscarriage? I won't help you with this kind of thing."
Zhou Jida boldly tugged at the hem of Zhou Jiyun's suit: "Brother, you are the only one in the family who can help me..."
Zhou Jiyun was blunt: "Don't give me that. How did Jiang Cha get to the old house? Do you want me to tell you? You sold me out in front of the old man, and I still remember it."
Zhou Jida shut up, untied Zhou Jiyun's clothes obediently, and stood in a corner of the elevator like a quail. He said, "Big brother is big brother, nothing can be hidden from his eyes."
