Ji Wangyan was originally going to work, but seeing the excitement at home, she stayed.
With their father Ji Wuqiu, away from home, the eldest brother Ji Wangchen, took charge of the situation.
Ji Wangyun, a current homebody, sat in the corner of the sofa watching her younger brother and prospective brother-in-law's abstract performance and couldn't help but feel that her acting skills were insignificant compared to Chu Yanzhang's.
Chu Yanzhang has a face as thick as a city wall; he succeeds at whatever he does.
Apart from Xie Zhuzhou, everyone present who knew Chu Yanzhang was filled with nothing but astonishment.
Seeing this, the Yuan Family couple felt utterly overwhelmed. They had originally planned to just pay cash, but after witnessing Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang's actions, they could only watch helplessly as their hard-earned money flew away.
If Xie Zhuzhou is not satisfied, the Yuan Family, who live next door to the Ji Family, will inevitably suffer torment. After all, Xie Zhuzhou has a reputation, and everyone around, young and old, is afraid of him.
Rumors don't come from nowhere, and besides, it was someone from the Yuan Family who personally witnessed the ambulance leaving the Ji Family's gate—how could that be false?
In short, the compensation is a done deal, and they now feel it's better to avoid trouble.
Ling Zhenhe from the Ling Family has already paid so much in compensation, it's not unreasonable for them to pay some as well.
Xie Zhuzhou merely slammed his hand on the table; before he could even unleash his fury, the Yuan Family couple had already provided a solution that satisfied him.
With 50 million in cash, plus a two-story office building in the CBD and two top-of-the-line luxury cars worth around 50 million, the Yuan Family couple is truly showing their sincerity.
Actually, this amount of money wasn't much to Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang, but Chu Yanzhang felt it was good because it made Zhouzhou happy.
Xie Zhuzhou didn't actually intend to extort that much... No, how could that be considered extortion? It was compensation.
Chu Yanzhang listened to him very much and even said that all the money they received in compensation would be under his control, and that it would be their joint secret stash.
Two weeks after the engagement ended, Xie Zhuzhou still couldn't live a normal life. The people who used to wait for him at the school gate had changed from college students to elementary school students.
"I'll say it again, I don't know martial arts. I'm just good at climbing trees and I'm strong! I can't do anything like flying over rooftops or scaling walls! Those are just your fantasies!" Xie Zhuzhou said helplessly as he was surrounded by a group of elementary school students.
Yang Da and Li Er could only watch their cars from a distance.
One of the chubby kids, quite cleverly, said, "You're lying to a child! You dare say people from country X don't lie to people from country X!"
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." No, aren't kids these days too smart!
He didn't understand why things had turned out this way. Where had all his haters gone? Even Xiao Lin had changed recently! Not only had he gone from being a hater to a fan of his career, but he was also constantly urging him to go to work. He really wanted to fire him, but his older brother was the one who paid Xiao Lin double his salary.
The older brother must have done it on purpose. He urged his older brother to go to work properly, and the older brother turned around and paid someone to urge him to roll up his sleeves!
It's karma! This is all karma!
Damn it, the Ji Family never suffers even the slightest loss!
Just then, Chu Yanzhang's car arrived and he saw his Zhouzhou being bullied by a group of children, which worried him greatly.
What to do when faced with a bratty kid? In the end, he borrowed the glasses that Wen Shuming used to wear to appear more refined.
After getting off the bus, Chu Yanzhang walked over with his hands behind his back and steady steps.
A deep, serious voice asked from afar, "Which class are you in? Who is your homeroom teacher?"
The children turned around and saw a man wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and black-rimmed glasses. They were so frightened that they ran away in a flash!
Xie Zhuzhou found it unbelievable that these children, whom he had been trying to persuade to leave, had actually been scared away so easily?
Xie Zhuzhou's only fear was facing innocent children. Everyone said that adults should set a good example. As for him, setting a good example was impossible, but he thought that not saying anything inappropriate in front of children was already a kind of progress.
" Zhouzhou! Are you alright?"
When Xie Zhuzhou Chu Yanzhang walking towards him in this state, his heart began to pound faster.
Sure enough, his Little Yan looks good in any clothes; even as a rigid bookworm, he's still a handsome one.
As Chu Yanzhang approached, Xie Zhuzhou raised an eyebrow slightly. "Didn't you say you were working overtime today?" In fact, he had already seen Chu Yanzhang's green dot getting closer and closer.
But he was still pleasantly surprised.
"I miss you, Zhouzhou, I don't want to add anything." Chu Yanzhang took his hand, got into the car, and without caring what the people in the front were doing, hugged Xie Zhuzhou tightly. At the same time, he began to complain about his subordinates in the company for being incompetent and actually leaving all the work to their superiors.
Xie Zhuzhou agreed, "These people bully you because they think you're too gentle and kind. You need to become ruthless and cold-blooded to suppress them!"
Wen Shuming: "..." Heh, they're not doing anything right? The premise is that the boss doesn't always slack off and date, right?
Other people's domineering CEOs are practically conquering the world, but their domineering CEOs are just maxed out in their love-obsessed minds.
There's no cure at all; the doctor said it's a terminal illness.
Gentle and kind? Chu Yanzhang almost always has a cold face in front of others, never giving anyone a kind look. He either doesn't work at all, or when he does, he's extremely demanding.
The project plans went through countless revisions, big and small, before this man was finally satisfied.
Garlic, and the salary and bonuses given by Boss Chu are ridiculously high, so all this suffering wasn't for nothing.
As always, Chu Yanzhang acted coquettishly towards Xie Zhuzhou, but from an angle where Xie Zhuzhou couldn't see, he looked coldly at Wen Shuming's rearview mirror.
Feeling a chill run down his spine, Wen Shuming could only silently raise the partition.
Evening
Xie Zhuzhou discovered that only three people were eating at home, meaning Chu Yanzhang could now openly come over for meals.
Since learning Chu Yanzhang's superior position, Ji Wangyun no longer disliked him, but she also wouldn't treat Chu Yanzhang much better.
After eating until he was about 70% full, Xie Zhuzhou put down his chopsticks and looked at his second brother, who was still lost in thought while eating. "Second brother, have you regained your memory?"
Ji Wangyun denied it, so he could only feign ignorance.
"Not yet." Ji Wangyun has been very quiet lately, almost as if he's gotten used to it. He wants to be a composed man and not act like a fool in front of Li Yankai.
"Second brother, you're not pretending to have amnesia because you don't want to go to work, are you?"
Ji Wangyun: "..." Where did his adorable little brother go?!
Am I the kind of person who pretends?
Xie Zhuzhou: "Yes."
Ji Wangyun: "..."
"What if your position as CEO is snatched away if you don't go back to the company?" Xie Zhuzhou was furious that his second brother lacked ambition. Although he himself wasn't ambitious either, he had a wife! He could afford not to work hard.
Although Xiao Lin has been nagging him a lot lately, he still can't muster any interest in going to work.
"You're the one who's talking to me? You don't even go to your own company, how can you be so shameless? Xie Xiaozhou!"
Xie Zhuzhou smirked indifferently, "I'm different. I have Chu Little Yan. Do you have anyone to help you?"
