The thought that Xie Zhuzhou might ignore him in the future made Chu Yanzhang's face turn deathly pale. After thinking it over, he called Wu Chang to the backyard and hesitantly asked, "I have a friend who has angered his friend. What should I do?"
Wu Chang: "..."
"He committed a heinous crime, is there any hope for him? Can their relationship be salvaged?"
Wu Chang: "..." Although, boss, you don't seem like the kind of person who would dare to commit such a heinous crime against Young Master Xie!
"Is there any way to make him happy?" Seeing Wu Chang remain silent, Chu Yanzhang felt that his subordinates were really useless, but he still continued to give them opportunities.
Wu Chang noticed that Chu Yanzhang's eyes were beginning to suggest he wanted to dock his pay. His heart raced, and he blurted out in a flustered voice, "Yes! That is to take down Ji Wuwei, who has offended Young Master Xie the most!"
Chu Yanzhang frowned. "Murder is a crime. Zhuzhou reading books on criminal law; he definitely wouldn't like being friends with a murderer." He then glared at Wu Chang. "I already said it's about my friend; you're not allowed to use us as examples!"
Wu Chang: "..." Damn it, love-struck people are so hard to please.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. I mean, you can have your friend attack from the side, making your friend's friend's enemy lose everything. The sky is cold, the king is broken!"
Chu Yanzhang thought for a moment. Ji Wuwei's assets in China had almost been swindled away by Zhuzhou. But Ji Wuwei still had a considerable amount of assets overseas.
"Okay, I understand. I'll tell my friend."
Wu Chang: "..." There's a sense of helplessness, like having a brat you want to beat up but your boss is the one you're dealing with.
Chu Yanzhang knew Xie Zhuzhou was angry, so he spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen researching recipes. The dishes smelled so good that even the range hood couldn't keep up with the aroma.
The fragrance even wafted out of Xie Zhuzhou's room window.
Xie Zhuzhou had eaten lunch, but now he's hungry again. His cravings have been whetted, making him even hungrier!
He was planning to eat in his room that night; he was determined to show Chu Yanzhang a bad attitude and let him know how powerful he was!
Trying to fool him? Ha! Impossible!
Around 6 PM, Chu Yanzhang went upstairs and knocked on the door. " Zhuzhou, I was wrong. But that shouldn't affect your meal, right? I'm the one who was wrong, not you, so why punish yourself?"
Xie Zhuzhou remained silent, agreeing that it wasn't his fault!
"I made you dinner as an apology. If you like it, I'll cook for you often from now on, and I'll be at your beck and call." Chu Yanzhang felt that Xie Zhuzhou had given him his life, so there was absolutely nothing wrong with being good to Xie Zhuzhou.
Moreover, he harbored many selfish motives.
Even if Xie Zhuzhou scolded or hit him, he was still happy.
" Brother Zhou..."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Damn it, she actually started acting cute!
Did you think you could get him forgiven by acting cute?!
That's wishful thinking!
"Don't forgive me yet, let me reflect on my mistakes for a few days."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Damn, is Chu Little Yan some kind of genius? How can someone be so proactive and eager to admit their mistakes?!
If it were him, he wouldn't be willing to admit his mistake.
Even if the old Marquis came, he would only say it was someone else's fault, and he could even find all sorts of reasons to exonerate himself.
If he were Chu Yanzhang, he would definitely let this matter pass naturally.
As expected of Chu Little Yan, his integrity is beyond reproach.
Although Chu Yanzhang behaved very well and showed a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, Xie Zhuzhou still planned to continue to ignore him.
"Actually, I've noticed recently that you don't have any particular favorite dishes, so I made the dishes that you slightly like and that you've taken a little extra bite of."
Xie Zhuzhou: "!"
Finally, Xie Zhuzhou appeared at the dinner table, though with a stern and indifferent expression. But Chu Yanzhang didn't find it indifferent; at least he could see Zhuzhou!
" Brother Zhou, I've removed the fish bones for you." Seeing Chu Yanzhang's careful manner reminded Xie Zhuzhou of Aolai when he did something wrong, and sometimes he really wanted to laugh.
Although he was a vengeful person, it was really funny to have to watch Chu Yanzhang act subserviently and obsequiously to take care of him when he had already guessed and seen through something.
However, in order to establish his authority, Xie Zhuzhou forced himself to suppress his anger.
"You eat too, so people won't say I'm mistreating you, Boss Chu."
Chu Yanzhang found it quite novel; why did Zhuzhou's use of "Big Boss Chu" sound so pleasant?
" Brother Zhou, you're so kind. I made you angry, and you still care about me."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Bro what bro! Damn, I'm about to lose it!
Wu Chang and the others. "..." Boss, don't you have any dignity?! Not only do you pick fish bones for people, but now that someone has made a sarcastic remark about him, he's actually going to peel shrimp for them!
Day 2
Xie Zhuzhou appeared at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the project that was about to commence construction.
He walked onto the stage in a dark, formal suit, his eyes indifferent and unsmiling, causing everyone to give way wherever he went.
The executives and partners of Hollow City were terrified of this menacing figure!
Xie Zhuzhou recited the script his elder brother had given him on stage. His every move exuded an air of aloofness and indifference, creating a powerful sense of pressure.
The high-ranking officials, who initially looked down on Xie Zhuzhou and whose eyes revealed contempt, suddenly felt uneasy.
Wasn't it said that the people sent from the Ji Group headquarters were utterly wicked, committing all sorts of evil deeds, and were vicious and ruthless?
Ji Wuqiu's youngest son has a terrible reputation, making him disliked by everyone in both the head office and branch offices. They don't want Xie Zhuzhou to become their incompetent leader after he starts working.
Why is it different now?
Xie Zhuzhou spoke clearly and logically. When faced with questions that were "casually" raised by some senior executives, Xie Zhuzhou did not look at them directly, but only glanced at them sideways.
The moment that man met Xie Zhuzhou's gaze, he felt as if his good days were about to end! He nervously began his self-questioning and self-answering performance.
The higher-ups who stirred up trouble were right. Xie Zhuzhou wasn't going to tolerate them. He immediately had Yang Da write down this person's name and send it to his elder brother!
He's really good at tattling now!
He wouldn't be so foolish as to ruin the ceremony, because he didn't want to do it again.
In the morning, the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the setting off of firecrackers, and all sorts of other rituals finally came to an end.
The sky was overcast and gray at that moment.
Xie Zhuzhou felt some raindrops drifting in the damp, cold air, hitting his face with a cool, refreshing sensation.
At this moment, Chu Yanzhang opened the umbrella he had carried all day.
It's been a whole day, and Chu Yanzhang's meticulous care has shocked him. Also, does his older brother even know who's holding the umbrella for him?
They walked to the exit and took a car back.
An awkward atmosphere permeated the car during the journey, so Xie Zhuzhou looked out the window. There he saw a middle-aged man who looked familiar by the roadside. He thought, " Li Yankai will probably look like this when he gets old!"
At that moment, the middle-aged man's assistant carried him a briefcase and opened the door for him.
Xie Zhuzhou: "This looks like Li Yankai's dad. Didn't Li Yankai say his dad was just a low-level employee at the company? Is Li Yankai impersonating me?"
