Chapter 14 The Void and the Snake
Xiao Jingyu stared blankly at everything in front of her.
She knew Zhou Jianyi. Although the Xiao family was not as big as the Zhou family and Qin family in Changning, they still had a bit of status. As a child of the Xiao family, she also knew the existence of warriors.
Although she didn't know Zhou Jianyi's specific strength, he was undoubtedly a martial artist.
Yesterday, Liu Hu and the others who came to the restaurant looked fierce, but in fact they were just relying on the timidity of ordinary people. Anyone who had practiced a little bit of boxing and kung fu could easily deal with those people.
But Zhou Jianyi is different. He is a genuine warrior, even those so-called trainers are not worth mentioning in front of warriors.
When Zhou Qing just rushed up, she was still worried.
But she never thought that Zhou Jianyi, as a warrior, would not have the ability to resist in front of Zhou Qing.
What has he experienced in the past six years?
She took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Qing's back complexly.
If she was a little worried about Zhou Qing's banquet tonight, then at this moment, she only has expectations.
Looking at Zhou Jianyi lying in front of him, Zhou Zhendong paused with his hand holding the red wine glass, and his face quickly became extremely blue.
He was going to watch a good show, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Zhou Jianyi, as a third-rank peak martial artist, was thrown in front of him by Zhou Qing like a dead dog.
Zhou Qing's move was tantamount to slapping him in the face in public.
The many executives standing behind Zhou Zhendong looked at each other in dismay, not daring to make a sound.
"Patriarch!" Seeing Zhou Jianyi's tragic state, Zhou Jianfeng's face showed anger and wanted to fight.
Zhou Zhendong waved his hand with a cold face, signaling him not to mess around.
"How is his strength?" Zhou Zhendong asked with a sullen face.
When he got the news of Jin Tianlong last night, he suspected that Zhou Qing had become a martial artist. Now it seems that Zhou Qing may have had an adventure in the past six years.
"Not weak." Zhou Jianfeng replied seriously.
"But I'm sure to beat him," he added after a pause.
Zhou Zhendong nodded slightly and said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you are not his opponent, if he can return to Changning sooner, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble for us, but now, the Zhou family is no longer the Zhou family it used to be. already."
"Take this shameful waste down!" Zhou Zhendong glanced at Zhou Jianfeng in disgust and said coldly.
Soon, two servants came to carry Zhou Jianyi away.
Zhou Zhendong looked at Zhou Qing at the door, a kind smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and walked towards Zhou Qing at the door.
"Zhou Qing, you've come, the uncle thought you weren't coming." Zhou Zhendong walked up to Zhou Qing and greeted kindly.
Zhou Zhendong is in his fifties this year, but his face is rosy and he doesn't look old at all.
"Today is my sister Yaman's birthday, how can I not come as a brother." Zhou Qing replied with a smile.
"Come on, did Jianyi embarrass you just now? These servants lack discipline on weekdays. I haven't seen each other for a few years, and I don't even recognize you." Zhou Jianyi pretended to be annoyed.
"It doesn't matter, who knows like a dog that bites people." Zhou Qing smiled and looked at Zhou Jianfeng who was standing beside Zhou Zhendong.
If he guessed correctly, Zhou Jianfeng was the one who threw himself on Xiao Jingyu's bed six years ago.
Zhou Jianfeng had a cold face and clenched his fists secretly.
"By the way, why didn't Zhenbin and his younger siblings come?" Zhou Zhendong asked knowingly.
"As you know, the family is busy with business and can't get away, so let me come here as a representative." Zhou Qing replied calmly.
"That's a pity. Tonight I was going to announce the great news for our Zhou family. Zhenbin and the others should come." Zhou Zhendong said regretfully.
"However,
With you, you can take this good news back with you. "He said, looking at Zhou Qing with a bit of mockery in his eyes.
Tonight's banquet, whether or not Zhou Qing's family arrives, will not affect the outcome of the development.
But since Zhou Qing is here at this juncture, let him have a good taste of despair.
"Don't stand still, please come in quickly, your sister misses you after so long." Zhou Zhendong said enthusiastically.
"Really, then it's really worth it that I carefully prepared this gift for her." Zhou Qing smiled and took the gift box from Xiao Jingyu's hand.
Zhou Zhendong frowned slightly when he saw the gift box wrapped in Zhou Qing's hand, but said nothing.
When Zhou Qing and Xiao Jingyu walked into the manor, Zhou Jianfeng couldn't help walking to Zhou Zhendong and whispered, "Patriarch, there is something wrong with that gift box."
As a warrior, he could sense that the items in the gift box exuded slight spiritual power fluctuations.
"Isn't it better to have a problem?" Zhou Zhendong sneered, his face full of viciousness.
This is the Zhou family's manor. If the Zhou family takes action against Zhou Qing on their own territory, the reputation of the Zhou family will be bad.
But what if someone else does it?
"You mean?" Zhou Jianfeng's eyes lit up.
"He came to die by himself, so we can't blame us." Zhou Zhendong looked at the backs of Zhou Qing and Xiao Jingyu with coldness in his eyes.
Zhou Family Manor, many executives of Zhou Family Industry chatted enthusiastically.
From time to time, some people turn their eyes to Xiao Jingyu next to Zhou Qing, and their eyes cannot hide their admiration.
But no one dared to approach Xiao Jingyu. How could they not know about the incident six years ago? Although Xiao Jingyu is beautiful, being involved in this kind of thing as their identities is no different from courting death.
"Zhou Qing, I don't think things are that simple." Xiao Jingyu and Zhou Qing walked together and couldn't help whispering.
"With Zhou Zhendong's cunning and cunning character, he must have left behind." Zhou Qing replied with a light smile.
Xiao Jingyu couldn't help looking at Zhou Qing, wondering why he was so calm when he knew all this.
"He's not the only one who has a backer." Zhou Qing replied with a relaxed smile.
Saying that, he raised his head and looked forward.
At this moment, a short-haired middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses walked towards Zhou Qing and Xiao Jingyu.
The visitor walked in front of Zhou Qing and looked at Zhou Qing carefully, as if it was hard to imagine that he was still alive.
After a while, he suppressed the shock in his heart and said in a low voice, "Don't mess around later, revenge is not in a hurry at this time."
Zhou Qing looked at Zhang Yuan with a surprised expression.
The Zhou family's industry is very large, but the pillar industry is the Yuerong Group. The Yuerong Group ranks among the top three in the entire Huaguo beauty industry. Among them, the Yuerong Group is divided into several subsidiaries, the most famous of which are the two. It is Yuerong and Liren.
When Mr. Zhou was still there, Yuerong and Li Ren were handed over to Zhou Zhendong and Zhou Zhenbin to take care of them. At that time, both companies were developing well.
In fact, Zhou Zhenbin didn't have much business talent, and the reason why Li Ren was able to not fall behind at that time was mainly because of Zhang Yuan's existence.
Zhang Yuan is a business genius, while Zhou Zhenbin is typically not interested in making money. The two have been together for a long time, but have developed a friendship.
When Zhou Qing was very young, he often saw his father and Zhang Yuan drinking together.
After the incident six years ago, Zhang Yuan disconnected from Zhou Zhenbin.
As far as Zhou Qing knows, Zhang Yuan is still the person in charge of the Liren branch, but the current Liren has long been unable to compare with the original, and is more than a grade behind Yuetong.
"Zhou Qing, I'm sorry for your dad." Zhang Yuan looked at Zhou Qing with guilt and said.
Zhou Qing shook his head lightly and didn't say anything. For the Zhou family, Zhang Yuan was an outsider after all. Because of his proximity to his father, he had been marginalized by the Zhou family after the incident.
What's more, he remembered that Zhang Yuan's child had always been seriously ill and required high medical expenses. In this case, he naturally couldn't ask Zhang Yuan, an outsider, to give up his position directly because of the internal affairs of the Zhou family.
