Chapter 40: The Kong family property is yours; my father can go back to retire...
Lin Zhao's illness put everyone in the villa on high alert.
Every time a boat enters or leaves, it must be disinfected with disinfectant.
In Uncle Lai's words: We must not let the virus outside make Lin Zhao sick again.
Lu Zhou was utterly speechless.
The entire villa treated Lin Zhao with utmost devotion.
They were afraid that Lin Zhaofeng would get blown away.
Lu Zhou entered Lin Zhao's room, cursing and swearing. He saw Lin Zhao sitting on the bed playing games, while Fu Yansheng was feeding her fruit.
It looked peaceful and serene.
"Zhaozhao! Why are you sick?!"
Lu Zhou asked a question as soon as he stepped forward.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao blinked and said, "You got sick after being exposed to the wind."
Lu Zhou said "Oh," nodded, looked around, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Isn't this Fu's room?"
Lu Zhou subconsciously looked at Fu Yansheng and scratched his head.
Why is Zhao Zhao in Fu Yansheng's room?
Is it because this room is better?
Shouldn't someone who is sick rest in their own room?
Lu Zhou fell silent when he saw Fu Yansheng looking at him coldly.
Um……
Did he say something wrong?
However, Lin Zhao recovered completely in just a few days. She originally wanted to go back to work, but Fu Yansheng wouldn't let her.
The Fu Group was very busy at the end of the year. Lin Zhao had just recovered from a serious illness, and Fu Yansheng did not want Lin Zhao to be busy, so he went back to work by himself.
Lin Zhao didn't know why, but Lu Zhou had been spending every day at the Fu family villa lately, while Ji Xing hadn't shown up at all.
"Zhao Zhao, isn't this male lead such a jerk?"
Lu Zhou chewed on a biscuit in his hand, then took a sip of a cup of milk tea.
Lin Zhao, wrapped in her fluffy pajamas, nodded emphatically: "Exactly!"
Lin Zhao was absolutely furious: "I never expected the ending to be like this! What did the male lead give up? His love! But he got money!"
Lin Zhao spoke in a sarcastic tone, and her expression was unpleasant.
The plot went smoothly until the very end...
That's absolutely ridiculous.
"I'm not watching anymore!" Lin Zhao put down the small cake in her hand.
Seeing Lin Zhao's appearance, Lu Zhou quickly suggested, "How about we go out and have some fun? There's a new movie out that's pretty good."
Lin Zhao became interested upon hearing this.
Lu Zhou found the promotional video and handed it to Lin Zhao.
It's a suspense drama.
Lin Zhao was quite interested.
"Let's go!" Lin Zhao said, and left almost immediately.
Before Lu Zhou could react, Lin Zhao wanted to go upstairs to change her clothes.
A familiar voice cried out in surprise from the doorway: "Zhao Zhao! You've been having other friends behind my back!!!"
"You even...you even wanted to go to the movies with him, so...have you already forgotten me by the Daming Lake?"
Upon hearing the voice, Lin Zhao turned to look at the door and saw Kong Ning, who should still be abroad handling affairs, standing in front of him.
Lin Zhao then noticed that Kong Ning, who was originally chubby, was now only slightly chubby, and her face had become much smaller.
When she looked at Lin Zhao, her eyes were full of grievance, and she even wanted to run up and hug Lin Zhao's leg.
Lin Zhao subconsciously stepped back, looking at Kong Ning who was pretending to be pitiful, and felt a headache coming on.
I've already said I absolutely cannot let Kong Ning know my current situation.
Otherwise, things will remain the same as they are now.
"Kong Ning! You're not allowed to hug my leg!"
Lu Zhou, with his sharp eyes, stepped forward and grabbed Kong Ning, but Kong Ning saw him as if he were an enemy, and with a leap, he immediately moved away from Lu Zhou.
"Don't you dare touch me! Who are you? How dare you follow Zhao Zhao around!"
Kong Ning never expected that in just one year since he left, Zhao Zhao would have made another good friend.
I'm clearly the one who serves Zhaozhao the best!
Shameless! You actually wanted to go to the movies with Zhaozhao?
What the hell?!
"Zhao Zhao won't even tell me what's been happening lately, is it because she has other friends? No wonder, no wonder Zhao Zhao doesn't want to say more than a few words to me when we chat."
Kong Ning felt extremely wronged.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao quickly waved his hand: "He is Brother Lu Zhou, a friend of Brother Fu."
Upon hearing this, Kong Ning's eyes lit up immediately.
"So you're Mr. Fu's friend. I'm sorry, it was my rudeness."
Kong Ning smiled and stepped forward, but Lu Zhou, having seen Kong Ning's expression just now, quickly moved to the side.
Kong Ning didn't care.
"By the way, Kong Ning, didn't you say you wouldn't be back for another six months?"
Lin Zhao was a little confused. He had just chatted with Kong Ning not long ago, and Kong Ning had said that it would take him half a year to complete the overseas project.
Unexpectedly, Kong Ning came back today.
“My father said you left the Lin family, so I came back.”
Kong Ning's family could only be considered marginalized.
They need to make inquiries from various sources to find out the latest news within their circles.
It's even possible that inquiring about information might offend other groups.
Those are people they can't afford to offend.
Every time Lin Zhao chatted with him, she avoided talking about the Lin family and never mentioned how the Lin family was doing recently.
So Kong Ning wondered what had happened to Lin Zhao and thought he should ask his father to find someone to ask.
Unexpectedly, something really did happen.
So Kong Ning put aside his overseas projects and returned to China.
Kong Ning gave a brief explanation, only mentioning that she came over after returning home and discovering that Lin Zhao was at the Fu family's residence.
Uncle Lai knew about Kong Ning before. After all, so many people came and went around Lin Zhao, but only Kong Ning stayed by Lin Zhao's side. They must be very good friends.
They opened the door and let Kong Ning in.
Lin Zhao smiled when she heard Kong Ning's brief explanation: "That overseas project is very important to your family. I just feel there's no need for me to distract you."
Kong Ning's expression changed upon hearing this.
"Pah, pah, pah, what project can compare to you? My dad and I have already thought it through. Although the Kong family is small, if managed properly, it will be enough for your daily expenses. The Kong family is yours, and my dad will go home to retire."
Kong Ning blurted it out almost without thinking.
Lu Zhou, who was standing next to him, and Uncle Lai, who was behind him, were stunned for a moment when they heard these words.
Although the Kong family was only a third-rate family, they still earned more than an average middle-class family.
The Kong family actually gave it to Lin Zhao without even thinking about it?
"The Kong family only rose to prominence because of you; otherwise, my father would still be just an ordinary person who won tens of millions in the lottery and is now living a life of leisure."
The Kong family's current profits are well over ten million.
All of this was because Kong Ning was forced into the best private school by Kong's father back then!
At the time, Kong's father only hoped that his son could study hard, so he sent Kong Ning to that school.
Unexpectedly, after Kong Ning entered that school, she was targeted, since she had no family or company behind her.
In a school where class hierarchy is extremely important, this alone is enough reason for Kong Ning to be targeted.
But even Kong Ning didn't expect that Lin Zhao would protect him.
The young master of the Lin family, who was fawned over by everyone, would treat him as a friend.
He even told him about the hot trends in the business world at that time.
Although Kong Ning and his father were not very bright, they were good at learning!
Lin Zhao told them about the opportunities, and Kong's father learned little by little. How could he not understand copying homework?
Catching a wave of opportunity, the Kong Family Company was officially established.
Then Lin Zhao told them about some emerging trends.
This allowed the Confucius family to directly enter high society.
Kong's father was also quick-witted and managed to make the Kong family company quite successful.
This made Kong Ning treat Lin Zhao even better. Kong Ning would stop anyone Lin Zhao didn't like from being around her, and he even knew exactly what Lin Zhao liked to eat and drink.
Many people were jealous that Kong Ning was always by Lin Zhao's side.
They said Kong Ning was Lin Zhao's nanny and wanted Kong Ning to leave Lin Zhao on her own.
Kong Ning, however, was not ashamed but rather proud.
He always looked at people with his chin held high, like the head steward of Lin Zhao.
They were aggressive and menacing.
It's hilarious.
"Stop joking around. That project is very important to the Kong family. You should go back. I'm doing fine with the Fu family now. Look, I've even gained weight."
Lin Zhao spoke softly, looking at Kong Ning in front of her, and reached out to pinch Kong Ning's cheek.
Kong Ning pouted.
I feel a little regretful.
"Oh, actually I came back for the Chinese New Year. Don't worry, there are people watching the overseas projects. I'm abroad every day, and you don't even ask me if I'm eating or sleeping well."
Kong Ning felt wronged, but he didn't say anything.
Lin Zhao fell silent upon hearing this. Kong Ning kept saying that the food and sleep were bad abroad, was that all a lie?
"Little brother Kong Ning, let's go see a movie. After the movie, I'll take you to eat something delicious!"
Lu Zhou quickly stepped forward and spoke.
Kong Ning's chubby face lit up with his eyes at the mention of delicious food: "Why don't we go eat something delicious first, and then go see a movie!"
Lu Zhou gave an awkward laugh, then nodded: "Okay!"
While Lin Zhao was changing clothes, Lu Zhou and Kong Ning visibly became acquainted.
One is called Brother Lu Zhou, and the other is called Brother Kong Ning.
It's like we've known each other for ages.
At the dinner table, Lin Zhao and Lu Zhou watched as Kong Ning forced down an entire plate of roasted pig. Lin Zhao even saw Kong Ning finish eating the carrots that he hated the most.
Is food abroad really that bad?
Lin Zhao simply put down her chopsticks and waited for Kong Ning to finish eating.
Kong Ning ate with tears in her eyes, wiping away her tears while stuffing food into her mouth.
"It's so delicious, I'm so happy!"
Lin Zhao sighed.
"How about we bring a chef back with us this time?"
Lin Zhao suggested.
Upon hearing this, Kong Ning burst into tears.
"My dad told me to be frugal and cook for myself."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou waved his hand and said, "Which country or region is your project in? I'll have someone deliver it to you every day."
Lu Zhou is incredibly wealthy and powerful.
Kong Ning was stunned when she heard this, and then suddenly thought, could President Fu's friend be an ordinary person?
They must be rich!
"Brother Lu, you're like my own brother!"
Lin Zhao seemed to have heard this sentence somewhere before; Kong Ning seemed to have said the exact same thing to her.
Lu Zhou thought it was no big deal.
"Zhaozhao, why don't you take over the Kong family? Although the Kong family's profits are not as good as the Lin family's, they are still doing alright."
Upon hearing Kong Ning's words, Lin Zhao immediately saw through him: "So you don't need to go abroad to complete the project then, right?"
Kong Ning just chuckled, his mouth still stuffed with food.
Kong Ning was very happy eating white rice.
"By the way, Zhao Zhao, have you seen your mom and dad?"
Kong Ning put down his food and looked at Lin Zhao with a serious expression.
“They are not my parents. They said they found me, so I must have been abandoned. Brother Fu is investigating, and the DNA database is being compared, but there are no results yet.”
Kong Ning slammed his hand on the table, indignant on Lin Zhao's behalf: "Nonsense! Zhao Zhao, you were so cute when you were little, how could you have been lost? They must have secretly hugged you and then switched you because you were so thin!"
