Chapter 34 Zhou Hengzhi is comfortable
Shang Xingchuan had work to do and wouldn't have to sleep all night. The thought of causing trouble for Zhou Hengzhi made him extremely happy.
In just one night, after spending a large sum of money, Shang Xingchuan directly exposed Zhou Jin's detention.
They bribed major media outlets to write a deluge of nonsensical articles.
On the Zhou family's side, the elderly couple didn't sleep a wink all night because of Zhou Jin's detention; they were so worried they couldn't close their eyes.
Since his parents couldn't sleep, Zhou Hengzhi, a famously filial son, naturally couldn't sleep either...
Zhou Hengzhi patiently advised, "Mom and Dad, there's no use in worrying. Just treat it as a lesson for her."
Tea was being brewed in the living room. Neither the owner nor the nanny could sleep; they stood guard, trying not to let out a yawn.
I couldn't help but feel a bit resentful, but as a working person, I was destined to swallow my anger. A million thoughts raced through my mind, but I still had to put on a smile.
Bai Lamei felt dizzy. The noblewoman was wrapped in a white mink coat and wore a silk-lined cheongsam. Even at home, with her daughter detained, she paid great attention to her image.
"lady……"
"I'm fine."
The nanny came forward to greet her, but Bai Lamei shook her head and leaned back on the sofa, saying, "Why don't you come over and massage my temples instead?"
"Yes, madam."
Back then, Bai Lamei was a sensational movie star in Jiangcheng. At the height of her fame, she was married by Zhou Jinhai, the current chairman of the Zhou family and Zhou Hengzhi's father. They had a son and a daughter.
She married into a wealthy family and completely retired from the film and television industry, but she is still a prominent figure in the industry. In any public setting, people respectfully address her as "Sister Bai".
Time has been kind to her, after all, she has the Zhou family's money protecting her.
After the nanny massaged her, Bai Lamei calmed down a bit and questioned, "She's your sister, why don't you think of a solution?"
Bai Lamei asked Zhou Hengzhi, "I sent you there to rescue your sister, but where is she?"
"Are you still holding a grudge against your own sister because of that rural woman?"
A series of disastrous questions made Zhou Hengzhi frown. "Mom, where did you get to?"
Even if he had his own thoughts, he knew what was more important. There were plenty of women, but only one sister.
He explained, "It was those villagers who disagreed with the reconciliation. I tried all sorts of methods, and I even went to the hospital to see the old woman myself. She's a tough nut to crack."
"That means they didn't pay enough. If one road isn't enough, tell them to build two roads!"
Zhou Hengzhi sighed helplessly, "It's too late to say all this now."
Zhou Jinhai took Bai Lamei's hand, signaling the nanny to leave.
"It's too late to say anything now that things have come to this. Fortunately, the public relations were handled well and the news wasn't leaked. Hengzhi still knows how to behave properly."
With Zhou Jinhai speaking up for him, Zhou Hengzhi felt a little better.
"Mom and Dad, you should go to sleep too."
Zhou Jinhai helped Bai Lamei up, and Bai Lamei sighed, "If word gets out, people will laugh at us. It's ridiculous that someone from our Zhou family would be sent to detention, all because of such an absurd woman."
She warned Zhou Hengzhi, "I will never let that woman get away with this. Those people from Nanbian Village, I will make them pay the price!"
Zhou Hengzhi kept his head down and remained silent, while Bai Lamei continued her tirade: "It's all your fault. You went and provoked that woman. I've told you so many times that we must be of equal social standing, but you, you bring all sorts of nobodies around, bringing bad luck with you."
Zhou Hengzhi fell silent after being scolded. "Mom, please calm down."
As dawn broke, the two were about to go upstairs and had already reached the bottom of the stairs.
Just then, Ah Huan suddenly walked up to Zhou Hengzhi and said, "President Zhou, something bad has happened. The news has spread."
"What news has leaked out?"
"The media, I don't know who spread the rumor, that the young lady bullied the villagers in the south village and even pushed an old man down... Someone just went to the hospital to interview the family of that old woman surnamed Zhang, and the doctors and nurses... also came to be witnesses."
Ah Huan frowned. "I reckon some people have already headed to the village to the south. You make a decision."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lamei couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
"mom!"
Zhou Jinhai helped Bai Lamei up, saying, "Call the doctor, call the doctor!"
Zhou Hengzhi couldn't care less about Bai Lamei's condition. If this matter didn't get out, everyone would be happy. But if it did, it would be a disaster for the entire Zhou family.
"Find someone to block the media."
"yes."
"Contact Mrs. Zhang's family and shut them up."
"yes."
Ah Huan rushed out to take care of it, while Zhou Hengzhi sat in the living room, his mind in turmoil.
This matter had already been handled by public relations, so why was it suddenly released at this time? He had clearly given prior notice.
The fact that Zhou Jin was detained and the conflict with the villagers of Nanbian Town would not spread and would not affect the Zhou family's interests at all.
A few minutes later, Ah Huan came in, looking like a wilted eggplant, but still calmly said, "President Zhou, some of the media have arrived, and our people can't stop them..."
We're not afraid of the media, as long as the old folks in the village don't spread rumors, things will be fine.
He even offered to build a road with them. Even if they didn't accept it, Zhou Jin was detained, so this matter should be resolved satisfactorily.
"It's alright. Contact Grandma Zhang and also contact the village in the south. Tell them not to spread rumors and to say it was just a normal dispute that has been resolved."
Ah Huan's face was very ugly. Zhou Hengzhi stood up, picked up a cup of tea, and said calmly, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go."
“I’ve already called, and the village chief said he would tell the truth.”
Zhou Hengzhi's hand trembled slightly for no apparent reason. "What about Old Lady Zhang?"
"Grandma Zhang also said that she would tell the media the truth, and that the media has the right to know the truth."
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, has finally died.
Zhou Hengzhi gripped his teacup tightly, and Ah Huan quickly said, "Old Granny Zhang also said..."
"She said you shouldn't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a few stinking coins, and she also said... she also said about our Zhou family's unfinished building!"
Bang!
"President Zhou!"
The teacup was crushed in Zhou Heng's hand. "This is outrageous!"
In all the years Zhou Hengzhi had been in charge of the Zhou family, he had never suffered such humiliation. His sister was detained, the company was affected, and he was being stabbed in the back by a group of people…
The person who stabbed him was a country bumpkin whom he despised the most.
The nanny quickly handed over a towel to wipe the wound, but Zhou Hengzhi said unhappily, "Get out of here, all of you!"
He wiped the water off his hands, grabbed a piece of gauze that Ah Huan handed him, and wrapped it around the wound.
"Notify the public relations department to expose the egregious behavior of the villagers in Nanbian Village."
Ah Huan was puzzled: "It's not that the villagers in Nanbian Village didn't accept us..."
Zhou Hengzhi glanced at him, "Tell me about the villagers in the southern villages who wanted to use this incident to extort hundreds of millions of yuan from the Zhou family for construction, and the Zhou family..."
Ah Huan listened intently, and Zhou Hengzhi tightened the gauze even more, saying, "The Zhou family puts righteousness above family ties and clearly distinguishes between public and private matters."
