Before the winter break was even over, Xie Zhuzhou was tricked by his father into going to the head office to broaden his horizons.
That's the head office! Xie Zhuzhou thought his father and older brother must have gone mad, otherwise why would they drop this bomb on the Ji Group's headquarters?
Early in the morning, Xie Zhuzhou was woken up by the maids. He wanted to throw a tantrum, but when he opened his eyes, he saw several maid sisters trembling.
Surely Chu Little Yan wouldn't want to see him make things difficult for working people, right? After all, that guy is so simple-minded and a conscientious entrepreneur.
He quietly got up to brush his teeth and wash his face, then had the maids choose what to wear to work. After changing his clothes and getting his hair and makeup done, he went downstairs.
I felt like I wasn't going to work, but rather to attend the morning court session.
Xie Zhuzhou always styled his hair and dressed quite nicely, so his sudden change into a formal suit and overcoat caught everyone's attention.
"I can be Zhu Brother Zhou's assistant!" Chu Little Yan almost raised his hand to speak.
Ji Wuqiu: "No, Little Yan, you have to go to work too, but you have to go back to your company. It's already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, is your company really that idle?"
Chu Yanzhang shook his head and then nodded, because Xie Zhuzhou listened to his uncle, and he could only listen to his uncle as well.
"I'm not free, but I do have time..."
Ji Wangchen said calmly, "This is something he has to face himself. He's just experiencing it now. He has to walk his own path. It's better if we can't make a living in the future, at least he can still earn a living."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..."
Ji Wangyun felt a sense of satisfaction seeing the resentful aura emanating from her younger brother.
He'd long disliked his lazy, good-for-nothing brother! They should be working together; brothers should share both good times and bad.
Xie Zhuzhou suddenly felt that this house was terrifying. There was only Little Yan standing behind him, and everyone else was a demon who wanted him to go to work.
"Who knows when your brothers will go in? When they do, won't you still have to take charge of the family company?" Ji Wuqiu told him very realistically.
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhuzhou's expression became complicated. He turned to his elder brother and said, "Brother, you're such an upright person, you'll definitely abide by the law, right?"
Ji Wangchen gave him a look that suggested he was thinking.
Xie Zhuzhou felt a chill run through him, and he looked at Ji Wangyun again.
Ji Wangyan's eyes seemed to be veiled in a misty haze as he said softly, "Sometimes I lose my mind and forget what I've done. Sometimes when I come home, my hands are always red."
Ji Wangyun's face turned bright red as she tried to suppress her laughter. Why was the third brother so red? He must have accidentally smeared lipstick on his lips.
But he can't laugh.
Xie Zhuzhou sighed, "You guys are really... giving me so much trouble."
He wanted to urge his older brothers to work harder! But instead, one after another...
He turned to look at Chu Yanzhang.
Chu Yanzhang whispered, " Brother Zhou, I won't tell anyone! Besides, Brother Wangchen and the others must have had their reasons for what they did." Now, Chu Yanzhang sometimes subconsciously calls Xie Zhuzhou " Zhouzhou," but in front of others, he obediently calls him Brother Zhou.
Ji Wangyun was struggling to suppress his laughter, especially when he saw Chu Yanzhang's unwavering belief. He thought about all the painful things in his life and realized that there was nothing worth his suffering.
This made me even more suffocated.
"I'm full, I'm going to work now." Ji Wangyun said before getting up and leaving.
Then everyone left one by one, even Chu Little Yan was taken away by several assistants with dark circles under their eyes.
Xie Zhuzhou looked at his elder brother in despair.
Ji Wangchen curled his lips into a smile that would appear and disappear instantly, and said, "Today's task is relatively simple: I'll introduce you to some high-ranking officials." He wanted his picky younger brother to also expose some deeply hidden corrupt officials—a win-win situation.
If it were any other younger brother, it really wouldn't work, after all, Xie Zhuzhou's identity is special, and there are many people who want to secretly get close to him.
Xie Zhuzhou: "So they start work this early too?"
"Of course, employees can take a few more days off, but they don't deserve it."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..."
What is my job title?
"My assistant." Ji Wangchen had already sat in the back seat. Xie Zhuzhou opened the car door and took a deep breath.
Well, since we can't resist it, we can only face the challenge head-on.
What a joke! He's the kind of person who can be defeated by going to work? It's just going to work.
He was so resistant before simply because he felt that going to work took up his personal time. Now, he'll just have to endure it.
Xie Zhuzhou composed himself and got into the car.
After getting in the car, it slowly started moving.
Unable to resist the powerful, Xie Zhuzhou suddenly asked, "Brother, will Grandpa Sheng pressure you to get married?"
Ji Wangchen: "..."
"Brother, you're almost 28."
Ji Wangchen: "..."
"It's alright, brother, I'm still young." I can take care of you in your old age without any problem.
Ji Wangchen closed his eyes tightly, thinking to himself that this kid was deliberately trying to annoy him, bringing up the very thing he didn't want to talk about.
"Elder brother..."
"Alright, shut up." Ji Wangchen through gritted teeth.
Seeing his older brother's displeasure, Xie Zhuzhou gradually became more cheerful.
The two brothers set off for work.
Chu Yanzhang, who was dragged into the car by his assistants, looked dejected.
"Boss, did you stay up late again last night?"
"Um."
"Boss, staying up late will give you eye bags! Look at me!" Wu Chang pointed to his two terrible dark circles.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yanzhang's eyes widened. "Really?! Isn't this just because you're getting older? Can young people have this too? I always thought it was your eye bags!"
Wu Chang: "..."
Chu Yanzhang touched his face; the only thing Zhouzhou could appreciate about him now was his face!
"Yes, so boss, please don't stay up all night! Handle work during the day and get a good night's sleep!" Wu Chang was genuinely worried. What would happen to such a large company if something happened to the boss?!
"I understand." Chu Yanzhang was quite frightened.
**
Xie Zhuzhou was wearing a dark suit today. He was full of fighting spirit just now, but now he's so sleepy.
You can't blame him.
He has Internal Energy to dispel the cold, keeping his body warm. A warm body makes one prone to drowsiness in winter.
Thinking of this, he felt wide awake again.
"Arrive."
The rumored Ji Group's Building... let him see what it's all about.
After getting out of the car, he realized he had missed the exterior shots and ended up in a spacious, deserted underground parking lot.
"Brother, shouldn't you have parked right in front of the company? Did you expect two rows of bodyguards in suits and sunglasses to bow to you as soon as you got out of the car?"
Ji Wangchen: "... You like it?"
"No, I don't like it." Xie Zhuzhou thought about that scene; even the most arrogant person would feel ashamed, right?
I'll arrange it for you next time.
"No need, bro."
"I have plenty of bodyguards at home, they're free."
"No need, brother."
"Setting off some firecrackers would make it more festive."
"Brother, I was wrong!"
