"Does your friend need help?" Ji Wangchen suddenly asked after a long silence.
He guessed that Chu Yanzhang's surgery had failed, and Xie Zhuzhou was also worried.
Chu Yanzhang has already consulted the most authoritative ophthalmologists, and they really can't help with this. This shows that although Chu Yanzhang's situation is not good, he still has the ability to pay for his medical expenses.
"Not for now, Xiexie for your concern, brother." Xie Zhuzhou remembered his promise to his brother; before going to school, he told Ji Wangchen about the weaknesses of the partner.
Forty percent of the original work is about business battles, so in the cooperation that the eldest brother recently negotiated, the partner surnamed Ouyang has run into financial problems. The only way to solve the predicament is to get on board the Ji Family's big ship. If he misses out on such a powerful partner as the Ji Family, he will face bankruptcy in six months.
The Ouyang Family's Bright Moon Company was eventually acquired by the protagonist's family.
"How did you know all this?" Ji Wangchen's first reaction wasn't surprise, but rather some worry that Xie Zhuzhou had used some underhanded methods and gotten himself into trouble.
"I don't want to lie to you, but I found out this by accident. I'll bring out anything else that can benefit the company. I hope you can feel my sincerity."
Ji Wangchen realized that since he had gone to such lengths, all Ji Wangchen wanted was for his older brother to provide him with protection.
"I know, Xiexie you. If things go smoothly, I'll give you a reward." Ji Wangchen rubbed his head. "Go to class."
Xie Zhuzhou was patted on the head again, and he frowned in protest.
Ji Wangchen chuckled and left with his documents.
That small stack of documents was all about the weaknesses of which company. Because Ji Wangchen was good to him, Xie Zhuzhou also hoped that his older brother's career would go smoothly.
He wasn't someone who was always the same, only knowing how to accept the protection from his family; he could sometimes afford to pay the price for trust.
Just because Ji Wangchen covered him with a blanket twice, disregarding the occasion, Xie Zhuzhou didn't regret revealing his hand and was willing to take the gamble.
He looked away, slung his bag over his shoulder, and followed. "My brother's giving me a ride back to school."
"Ha, they're starting to take advantage of the situation."
"It's good that you know, brother; there's no need to say it aloud."
"He speaks in a very refined, scholarly manner, but has a terrible temper."
"..."
Xie Zhuzhou thought it was great to be back at school after taking five days off, only to have one day of classes before the weekend was over! After class in the afternoon, he went back to Lianzong and saw Zhang Yin, one of the sources of all evil, there, mopping the living room floor.
He stuck one foot in, but ultimately pulled it back, knowing there were still sasaeng fans watching and he couldn't openly offend them.
Qin Fang was wiping the windows, wearing a pink apron that looked like it came from nowhere. Xie Zhuzhou didn't want to meet him today.
" Zhuzhou, you're back!"
Xie Zhuzhou nodded, left the entrance hall, and went out to find Director Wang. He then asked Xiao Nan to take out the boneless chicken feet and milk tea he had bought from the trunk and distribute them.
Director Wang was still angry, giving him the cold shoulder and letting out a soft snort.
" Director Wang, I'm sorry."
"No way, you're so busy, you wouldn't have time to come to our little film crew."
"That's enough," Xie Zhuzhou said, not giving him any leeway. "Didn't I also hire my stunt double?"
Director Wang looked at Xie Zhuzhou's stunt double, a life-size standee, in the corner.
"... You, how dare you say that!"
"Getting angry is bad for your health. Besides, didn't I promise to be your boyfriend for a day during the live stream?"
"This is what you were supposed to do!" Director Wang was furious. He really admired the guy's shamelessness, but he couldn't do anything about it, since it was clearly written in the contract.
He really shot himself in the foot and then covered his own mouth!
Xie Zhuzhou was kicked out of the control room by Director Wang. Standing at the door, he remained unrepentant. There were only half a month left in the variety show. He just had to wait it out.
Qin Fang abandoned his cleaning duties and ran out. Looking down, he saw himself wearing a pink apron, his face scrunched up, and he wished he could turn back time.
" Xie Zhuzhou! Where are you going?"
Xie Zhuzhou: "Get to work."
Xie Zhuzhou changed into disposable slippers as he entered the room, looking very casual. People in the living room came over to greet him, especially Wang Zhengxiao, Xie Zhuzhou, after learning that Xie Zhuzhou was the most favored young master of the Ji Family, dared not have any curiosity or fantasies.
Is there anything else that needs to be done?
Xuelai came downstairs with a feather duster, followed closely by Yu Wei. When they saw Xie Zhuzhou return, the two looked surprised.
"You're back?" Xuelai asked.
"Yes, Sister Xuelai, Sister Yu Wei, Sister Shankui."
Xie Zhuzhou already knew their names and was somewhat familiar with them, but the aura of indifference and aloofness still emanated from him as always.
Xie Zhuzhou only called out to the girl, ignoring Qin Fang, who grabbed Xie Zhuzhou's arm and dragged him out to the backyard.
"What's wrong now?"
"How come you don't know? How long are you going to keep making a scene? What did I do wrong? Just say something!"
"I thought I made myself perfectly clear last time. And Qin Fang, you're really annoying. If you had any self-awareness, you wouldn't be bothering me." Xie Zhuzhou adopted the demeanor of a scumbag.
"Ha, I'm annoyed? When you were annoyed with me, what did I say? Now you're tired of me and just want to throw me away, huh?" Qin Fang had recently had some things investigated and found out, although they were superficial, but enough to make him furious.
What's the story with An Xinian? What's your relationship with him?
"Alumni."
A hint of surprise flashed across Qin Fang's stubborn and aggrieved face. He thought Xie Zhuzhou would admit their relationship, but then he thought that he wasn't much better than that person. Xie Zhuzhou was just playing him!
"Alumni? Who has such good alumni relationships, helping him with club work, recruiting members for him, waiting for him after class, and even giving him white roses! You only ever gave me primroses! So, am I just a blade of grass?"
Xie Zhuzhou sighed and smiled wryly, wanting to swear but unable to. He opened his mouth, "If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do."
Qin Fang: "!"
Wen Ruohuai, who had secretly followed Qin Fang Wen Ruohuai, and Wen Nan, who had been slacking off behind the flowerbed, stared wide-eyed in astonishment. Clearly, neither of them had expected Xie Zhuzhou to be such a scumbag.
So handsome, but such a jerk!
Wen Nan adjusted her baseball cap, unable to believe that Xie Zhuzhou was that kind of person; there must be some hidden story!
Wen Nan chose to unconditionally trust her savior.
Wen Ruohuai deeply regretted not charging his phone last night! He had completely missed out on a juicy scoop! Damn it! Good heavens!
