Chapter 194 Stay close to me, don't get lost
Photography was not allowed inside the financial summit, but there were many news media outlets outside.
Originally, this type of financial news didn't receive much attention from other media outside the industry.
But this year was different from previous years because Shan Qingshan, who is almost a celebrity, attended.
As soon as he got out of the car, the camera shutter kept clicking.
Zhou Chong clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.
Security guards immediately stepped forward and asked the media outlets to stop.
Zhou Chong escorted Shan Qingshan into the venue.
He took out his phone and saw that he and Qingshan Xiaobao were trending on social media.
Grandma, your favorite celebrity is here!
I've forgotten how long it's been since I last saw the two of them!
I missed him so much! Qingshan Xiaobao looks so handsome and sexy in a suit!
[Holy crap! A ring! I didn't believe it when someone leaked it before, but it seems to be true! Are they getting married? I'm giving two boxes of condoms! May you two stay together forever!]
...
"What are you looking at?"
His mouth was wide open in a smile.
Zhou Chong calmly put away his phone.
With a serious expression, he said, "It's nothing."
The financial summit lasted for an afternoon.
You Liang almost fell asleep.
He was woken up by his brother countless times.
He looked around, trying to find someone with whom he could share common interests.
No.
His sister-in-law is serious and focused.
He's got the makings of a top student.
His brother, holding his sister-in-law's hand, was thoroughly enjoying himself.
The meeting finally ended, and there was a banquet scheduled for tonight.
Shan Qingshan is already capable of handling things on his own, and many people come up to him to chat, exchange business cards, and share ideas.
Zhou Chong and You Liang were surrounded by the younger generation brought by their parents.
The group chattered away, and Zhou Chong would occasionally offer a perfunctory reply, his gaze always fixed on Qingshan Xiaobao.
His little baby is so radiant and dazzling that it's impossible to look away.
But this person couldn't sit still for long. He stepped forward, pushed away the person who was almost touching Shan Qingshan, gently pulled the person closer to him, said a few words, and then said, "You haven't eaten much tonight."
Those around immediately understood.
Zhou Chong took his men to eat.
You Liang could see clearly that his brother seemed to have been glared at.
Once Zhou Chong left, the group of young people scattered as if they had lost their leader.
You Liang looked around.
Uncle Zhou's group consists of elite individuals.
His own brother...
Although his brother didn't show any expression, the two shook hands, so they must have had a pleasant conversation.
Zhou Chong and Shan Qingshan were sitting on the side eating, and some people came up to them.
You Liang thought to himself: I want to be this awesome in the future!
In my imagination, You Liang is dressed in a suit, pointing out the flaws in the world and wielding great power.
In reality, You Liang took a plate, picked up some food, and happily went to the side to eat.
Eat and play mini-games at the same time.
A voice suddenly came from above.
"Those two seem to have a good relationship, but it's uncertain whether they'll stay together in the end. How old are they?"
"Whether he makes it to the end or not, they've already gotten enough benefits from the Zhou family. Otherwise, how could he have even gotten this far?"
The radar above You Liang's head went off.
Holy crap!
Who the hell dares to talk behind his sister-in-law's back!
He was about to yell when he heard the next sentence.
"If we're talking about who benefited the most from the Zhou family, isn't it that idiot You Liang?"
You Liang froze.
"His biological mother died, and his own brother wouldn't accept him. He's always clinging to Young Master Zhou. He's not very bright, but he's lucky. You don't know, when he was in kindergarten, he couldn't get into that family because he was too stupid. It was Aunt Yu who saw him crying with snot and tears streaming down his face and insisted that he go to school with Zhou Chong, so she helped him get in."
"You Liang is lucky? He was born with his own mother replaced. I don't want that."
You Liang silently sat back down.
His gaze remained fixed on the phone screen, and he continued playing on his phone.
It was as if he hadn't heard anything.
Some people are curious, "Wasn't his own brother good to him? He never cared about him before?"
“You don’t know because you’re not from our area. His mother died giving birth to him. Any eldest son would feel bad about that. Plus, when You Liang was little, he called that mistress who had taken his place ‘Mom’ for several years. When the eldest son of the You family scolded him, he turned around and ran into his stepmother’s arms.”
"Holy crap!"
"I went to the same school as him back then, and I heard the eldest son of the You family say something in anger, that he didn't have a younger brother. Later, he took the kid in and beat him for several months before he started calling him 'Auntie.' If it weren't for the fact that he got along well with Young Master Zhou, who among us would have paid any attention to him?"
"When Zhou Shao was a child, he wasn't taken seriously either. He wore open-crotch pants and had snot on his face. If Zhou Shao pointed east, he wouldn't go west. He was more obedient than a dog. When Aunt Yu scolded Zhou Shao, he just stood there grinning like an idiot. If it weren't for the Zhou family's good upbringing, and things had continued like that, You Liang would definitely have ended up as a shoe-shiner."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Yu Liang cleared the game in one go.
He ate a piece of lamb chop that had been picked up and started the next game.
The conversation upstairs gradually drifted to a small event at today's summit, where the most talkative person won a Pixiu (a mythical creature), and everyone around him congratulated him.
That Pixiu was probably passed around among the people.
I don't know how it rolled down.
"It fell down, but that's a good omen, we have to go get it."
You Liang glanced down at it, picked it up, fiddled with it in his hand for a while, and then casually tossed it aside.
After he finished his bad deed, he turned around and met You Baichong's gaze.
My heart was trembling with fear.
"What's wrong?"
You Liang dared not lie, “They said bad things about me, I…I poked that Pixiu’s anus.”
"that's all?"
"Um."
Why not go up and argue with them?
"Did you hear that?"
I've been here for a while.
I heard that.
Seeing that his brother had tacitly agreed, You Liang touched his nose.
At first, when he heard such words, he would get angry and fight with people, crying and arguing. Not only did he not get an apology, but his parents were also called in because of the fight.
Jiang Rui went that time, and then it became all his fault.
That afternoon, he cried and apologized to the child he had hit in his office.
Later, I heard this kind of talk more and more often.
All the details, but only one core principle—
He's an ungrateful wretch who called the mistress "Mom" after climbing over his own mother's bones to get ahead.
He gradually realized that, although the words were harsh, they were true.
He felt guilty about the matter.
On this matter, his brother's views are probably similar to those of the others.
"I won't say a word until my lawyer arrives."
You Bochong glanced at him, took off his suit jacket, and tossed it to him.
"Wait for me here."
"oh."
You Liang sat back down, finished eating everything on his plate, returned the plate, and looked up to see his brother wiping his hands with a handkerchief at the other end of the corridor. There seemed to be blood on the handkerchief.
But the handkerchief was lost very quickly.
When You Baichong walked up to him, You Liang glanced at him.
There were no wounds on my hands.
"You're home. Zhou Chong and the others are waiting for you outside. They tried calling you but no one answered."
"Holy crap! I muted it!"
You Liang instinctively swore, but then realized what he was doing and cautiously looked up. Seeing that his brother didn't intend to make a move, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I just ate an egg tart, it was really delicious. I'll go in and get two to bring to my sister-in-law."
After saying that, he ran inside again.
You Bochong watched his retreating figure.
Zhou Chong and his words echoed in my ears.
"The quickest and most effective way for Jiang Rui and You Fan to get their assets is to make you step down. But you hold all the power, and even Uncle You can't do anything about you. What do you think they will do?"
"If Yu Liang dies in this struggle... if your own brother dies, what will you do?"
...
You Liang returned carrying the box.
"alright?"
"Mmm-hmm-hmm."
"Then stay close to me and don't get lost."
