"My second brother and I look so alike, so I had him impersonate me and then hide behind Brother Mu Fan and my eldest brother... Hehe, my second brother is on his way now."
Looking at Xie Zhuzhou's clever little face, Chu Yanzhang suddenly found it so cute and wanted to pinch Zhouzhou's cheeks.
He said in a serious tone, "What if Brother Wangyun gets beaten up?"
Xie Zhuzhou patted his chest and assured him, "No, Second Brother is so capable, he'll definitely be able to dodge it."
Chu Yanzhang thought about it and still felt it was inappropriate. What if Brother Wangyun really got beaten up?
Seeing Chu Yanzhang's hesitation, Xie Zhuzhou leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Actually, I've wanted to test Big Brother and Brother Mu Fan for a while now. They were acting all mysterious just now, especially Big Brother, his eyes were so strange. I suspect they're hiding something from me."
Chu Yanzhang frowned. Although he felt the plan was somewhat risky, seeing Xie Zhuzhou's eager expression, he finally nodded. "Alright, but we have to be careful not to let Brother Wangyun really get hurt."
If Brother Wangyun gets injured, Zhouzhou might be punished, so it's best to avoid any accidents.
The two quickly devised a plan. Xie Zhuzhou took out his phone and sent a message to his second brother Ji Wangyun, briefly explaining the situation and including the locations of his eldest brother and Mu Fan. Ji Wangyun quickly replied with an "OK" emoji, indicating that he was almost there.
Ji Wangyun loves to cause trouble. He thinks his younger brother is the most like him, and he loves his little brother very much, unlike his older and third brothers who always bully him!
Meanwhile, inside the private cinema, Ji Wangchen and Mu Fan were "immersed" in the movie's plot. Ji Wangchen appeared focused, but in his mind, he was calculating how to extract more information from Chu Yanzhang. Mu Fan, on the other hand, remained nonchalant, but his peripheral vision kept glancing towards the door, as if he were waiting for something.
Suddenly, the cinema doors were gently pushed open, and a figure silently walked in. Following her brother's instructions, Ji Wangyun quietly circled around behind Ji Wangchen and Mu Fan, trying to approach them without attracting their attention.
The plan was proceeding smoothly, and Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang returned to their seats. The eldest brother and Mu Fan were engrossed in watching the movie.
Ji Wangyun still had the clothes his younger brother had lent him in his car; now they really came in handy.
His heart pounded, ready to pat Mu Fan and his older brother on the shoulder in the most terrifying moment.
Ji Wangyun held his breath and approached lightly. He knew his eldest brother was extremely vigilant, and he would be discovered if he wasn't careful. Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang pretended to be focused on the screen while nervously watching their second brother's every move.
Just as Ji Wangyun was about to pat Mu Fan on the shoulder, the movie's sound effects suddenly became sharp and piercing, and the 5D effect made the entire theater feel as if it were in a world overrun by zombies. Ji Wangchen and Mu Fan were both startled by the sudden sound effect. Ji Wangchen quickly turned around, his eyes blazing, and met Ji Wangyun's round eyes.
Ji Wangchen: "... Youngest brother, why are you behind me?"
Mu Fan pointed at Xie Zhuzhou's location with a look of horror in his eyes. "Your little brother is in that spot! Who's this? No, could it be a ghost? Ahhh----"
Before Ji Wangyun could react, her older brother and Mu Fan grabbed her by the collar and dragged her away.
Half an hour later
Xie Zhuzhou felt a rare pang of guilt. Had he known that Mu Fan and his eldest brother were so... brave, he wouldn't have let his second brother try.
While applying a warm compress to Ji Wangyun's eyes, he asked with some concern, "Second Brother, what will you do if you can't go to work like this?"
Ji Wangyun was initially touched that his younger brother had personally applied a hot compress to his body, showing that his brother still loved him.
result...
"You really are something! What about my feelings?! Is your brother your beast of burden?!" Ji Wangyun's bruised lips stung as he spoke.
Chu Yanzhang's worst fears came true: Zhouzhou was punished with a 10,000-word self-criticism. It's okay, he can help her write it.
Ji Wangchen to the side, watched the two troublemakers and realized it was getting late; it was time to leave.
"Big brother... what do you suggest we do?" Xie Zhuzhou didn't know how his second brother's company was doing. He thought about how his second brother always went to work diligently, never late or leaving early, and was very dedicated to his job. What if he suddenly took leave...?
"You got yourself into this mess, so you'll have to clean it up yourselves." Ji Wangchen curled his lips into a smile and left with Mu Fan.
Ji Wangyun seemed to be inspired when he saw his elder brother's departing figure.
With a black eye and a bruised lip, he suddenly said, "Little brother, even if I use the most expensive medicine, it will take two or three days to recover, and then I can cover it up with foundation... Why don't you go to work in my place?"
"What about your older brother?"
"You bully, do you really think you work regular hours? I heard you had a heated argument with everyone this morning, and now Aurora Future is yours! You're just skipping work for a couple of days, that's more like your style."
Chu Yanzhang: "!" Zhouzhou's second brother is really corrupting Zhouzhou.
Even so, Chu Yanzhang was not in a position to interfere for the time being. He would still listen to Zhouzhou's opinions and do whatever Zhouzhou asked him to do.
Xie Zhuzhou hesitated as he looked at his second brother's eager expression. He knew his second brother always liked to cause trouble, but this time it seemed he had gone a bit too far. Besides, his eldest brother's eyes clearly carried a warning when he left, and he didn't want to anger his eldest brother again.
"Second brother, are you sure you want to do this? What about eldest brother...?" Xie Zhuzhou tried to persuade him.
Ji Wangyun, however, didn't take it seriously and waved his hand, saying, "Oh, don't worry about my brother. He's just strict on the surface, but he actually cares about us the most. Besides, I almost got beaten up last time I covered for you for a day!"
Xie Zhuzhou frowned. Although his second brother spoke lightly, he knew in his heart that his eldest brother was not so easily fooled. However, seeing the expectant look in his second brother's eyes, his remaining conscience suddenly began to ache.
"Alright, I'll give it a try. But if my older brother finds out, you'll have to put in a good word for me," Xie Zhuzhou finally relented.
Ji Wangyun immediately smiled with satisfaction and patted his younger brother's shoulder, "Don't worry, with me here, your older brother won't do anything to you." At most, they'll both get beaten up, and he'll take a few extra hits for his brother.
So, Xie Zhuzhou was "tricked" by his second brother into deciding to go to work in his place. He was a little nervous, but more curious than anything else. After all, he had never really known what his second brother's daily work was like.
Chu Yanzhang witnessed the two brothers so smoothly reach an "cooperation," and he was very worried, but he also knew that Zhouzhou owed Ji Wangyun a favor because of him.
He was thinking, "Couldn't we use something like annual leave?"
Does it really matter whether the boss comes to work or not?
Although Chu Yanzhang, who frequently skipped work, didn't understand, he respected his decision.
