Zhou Chao is a time bomb wherever he goes.

Let’s not talk about his ungrateful thoughts. The key point is that he has high ambitions and low abilities. He always wants to do some work that does not match his own abilities. He also hopes to become a master one day. And he does have a starting point because of Zhou Xue. A few points higher than others, for example, he can go through the back door. But there are too many backdoors, and it’s easy to get carried away.

I don’t have much ability in the first place, and if I don’t seize the time, tighten my tail and be a down-to-earth person, sooner or later, I will capsize in the gutter.

…And no one thought that this day would come so quickly.

It cannot be ruled out that some people in the company cannot stand him and may cause external factors that may hinder him.

In short, there was a problem with the project that Zhou Chao was responsible for, and the responsible party was Zhou Chao. He brought huge losses to the company, and the compensation issues he faced were naturally negotiated and resolved by the company’s boss Huo Qidong.

Zhou Chao also made a lot of low-level mistakes at work, but he had members of the same team helping to correct the mistakes, but he was ineffective, so how could others help him every time, plus this time The project was relatively large and the profit was high. He was so greedy that he insisted on excelling, and as a result, he ended up in the current embarrassing situation.

If you are greedy, the snake swallows the elephant! ! !

And Huo Qidong’s patience with Zhou Chao has reached its limit.

The words taught by the elders are not unreasonable. People from families like theirs are destined to care about interests. Even marriage should be a calculation in the business world. Even if he made a mistake, he overestimated his ability. It’s not enough for him to be able to stand alone and marry a woman who can’t bring him any benefit at all. He can’t even get a hot meal when he gets home. Now he actually has to clean up the mess of his wife’s incompetent relative and then wipe it out for this relative. butt.

Huo Qidong is indeed known as a “philanthropist” to the outside world. He does not engage in loss-making business. When doing charity, he spends a lot of money to gain a good reputation without losing money. As for Zhou Chao, Huo Qidong thought that he had already invested in him in the early stage. Now that he has lost all his money, he should stop in time to avoid future losses.

So, not long after, Huo Qidong took advantage of Zhou Chao’s mistake and fired him directly. Zhou Xue’s face was almost worthless to Huo Qidong.

Zhou Chao, who was fired, approached Zhou Xue and asked Zhou Xue to help intercede.

Zhou Xue was given a headache by him. She did everything she could to help. She couldn’t hold herself up to the wall with mud, but she still wanted to drag her into the water. After all, he was just a cousin, not a relative. Zhou Xue was now crossing the river with the mud Buddha. When she was in trouble, Huo Qidong became increasingly impatient with her. All she could do was to cause less trouble so that she could protect herself in peace. As for the rest, she just said a few perfunctory words.

She secretly thought that Yan Cheng was being controlled by Chen Jinyao.

She was still convinced that Yan Cheng fell under her pomegranate skirt. After thinking for a moment, she said to Zhou Chao: “The company has suffered such a huge loss. If your brother-in-law keeps you, how will you let him establish prestige in the company in the future?” , how about you ask Yan Cheng again and see if he can help you?”

“I broke up with him last time.” Zhou Chao frowned and stated the facts, “He must know that I brought him to the police station.”

Speaking of this, the smile in Zhou Xue’s eyes became deeper. Even though he hadn’t contacted him for a long time, he suddenly felt confident, “Then he didn’t cause you trouble.”

As a lyric goes, those who are favored are always confident.

Zhou Chao was startled, and then felt that this was reasonable.

A shameless person is invincible.

To find help from someone who has experienced unpleasantness, you have to be able to pretend to be stupid and forget about the unpleasantness for a few minutes. Zhou Chao’s shamelessness is beyond imagination.

However, no one expected that before Zhou Chao could find Yan Cheng and take his shamelessness to the extreme, Zhou Chao would be rushed to the hospital.

A group of tattooed socialites, in vain, dragged the person to a dead end and beat him up. They didn’t know the severity of the attack, and the person was seriously injured. When he was taken to the hospital by ambulance, his head was bruised and bleeding. , kept shouting: “Hey, these bastards, let me know who they are and I have to kill them.”

However, Zhou Chao usually offends many people and has a lot of enemies. Who knows who did it? Calling is calling, this matter can only be regarded as a dumb loss.

When Zhou Xue came to see him a few days later, he was still thinking about dragging Yan Cheng away, but he was now disabled and could not leave the hospital.

After much thought, I still grabbed Zhou Xue’s life-saving straw.

“It will definitely be more useful if you say it than if I say it.”

———————————————

Friday, rare good weather.

Chen Jinyao finished her work in the clinic early.

After taking off the mask and returning to the office, she breathed a sigh of relief. When she sat on the office chair, she immediately leaned back, looking for a comfortable way to lean on. When she didn’t find it, she raised her arms and stretched her muscles. I was lazy, my eyelashes trembled, I caught a glimpse of the green plants next to the computer, and my fatigue instantly dissipated, I felt refreshed, and it was time to rest on the weekend again.

It was still early before get off work, so she was in a daze for a while, her eyes fixed on a certain point as if she was deep in thought. After a long while, she came back to her senses, slowly looked away, and fished it out. When she put the mobile phone on the table, she made no secret of her whim.

Chen Jinyao: [I decided to inspect your Erguan this evening. 】

The main thing is that the life between 3:00 and 1:00 every day, especially on weekdays, makes her feel boring. When the boring becomes unbearable, she subconsciously stimulates the idea of ​​​​seeking excitement. In addition, she has already agreed before of.

Yan Cheng seemed quite surprised: [So sudden! 】

After lowering his eyes and glancing at the reply, Chen Jinyao smiled lazily, raised his eyebrows, and typed quickly: [You can also call it a surprise inspection. 】

Yan Cheng laughed dumbly: [You shouldn’t have told me about the surprise inspection. 】

He is now in the Erguan, lying on the railing on the second floor, looking down at the scenery downstairs. It is still early, and there are not many guests in the Erguan.

The manager called the people who came to Erguan today to work part-time and gave them instructions, telling them what they should and shouldn’t do, and that they should know how to measure.

Artest stood next to him, as straight as a pine tree, and pursed his lips.

Yan Cheng recovered his thoughts and continued to ask: [Do you want me to pick you up at the clinic? 】

Chen Jinyao quickly replied and rejected his proposal: [No, I have to go home first, and then I will drive here by myself. 】

【Okay. 】He respects her decision.

After waiting for a while, there was no more news from Chen Jinyao.

Yan Cheng then put away his cell phone, squinting and looking into the distance. He was silent for a few seconds. He took out a cigarette case and a lighter from his coat pocket, took out one, lit it, and in the dim environment, sparks flickered and spit out Smoke rings, he glanced sideways at Artest: “Come here with me and explain the matter in detail.”

Yancheng was unexpected that Artest found someone to beat Zhou Chao.

What made him even more dumbfounded was that Artest actually took the initiative to come to him after so many days and came to a show of unnecessary frankness and leniency.

I was bored, so Yan Cheng thought about it and cooperated with him.

As for Artai, many people don’t know that he really doesn’t look like someone who can work peacefully in a bar in society. It’s just that Yan Cheng has been kind to him, and this kind of kindness is enough for him. Yancheng followed suit.

Playing against Zhou Chao was really an accident.

We happened to meet each other, we happened not to face each other, we happened to drink some wine, and we happened to be easily impulsive when we were drunk. Coupled with the dark and windy night, and his friends nearby, it just happened that there were many people, and everything happened naturally. .

Artest was furious: “He didn’t know it was me who hit him, so he won’t cause trouble.”

There was a moment of silence, and when Artest was grinding his teeth and trying to explain his motive, Yan Cheng said with an indifferent expression: “If you hit me, I’ll hit you.”

“…” Hearing this, Artest was stunned.

Yan Cheng raised his eyes and said calmly: “No one will know if you don’t tell me.”

The implication is that he acquiesced in this behavior.

“You fought for me, I really have to thank you.” The young master’s first prison sentence was due to Zhou Chao, how could he let him go so easily, “But don’t be impulsive next time you see me. After a few beatings, the pain subsided, but it had no effect.”

This time, it was Artest’s turn to be surprised, “Is there a next time?”

“Not necessarily.” Yan Cheng raised his chin slightly.

“……………………”

Chen Jinyao brought dinner back to the apartment. After eating, she rested for a while before getting up and taking a shower. Since she was going to a bar to play, she felt that she should change her style, at least not be so conventional anymore.

Her clothes account for more than half of the wardrobe, and there are many kinds. There is always something suitable for going to the bar or having fun. It doesn’t have to be so formal.

However, Chen Jinyao did not find any clothes that were slightly rebellious.

In the end, she wore a dark green and white floral dress with a black leather jacket on top.

Her skin color is fair, which is not a bad match. Chen Jinyao looked pretty in the mirror before starting to put on makeup. Otherwise, how can it be said that it was a whim? Different from her usual light makeup, she also wore eyeliner this time. I wore false eyelashes, chose a richer color lipstick, and curled my hair…

With such careful instructions, more than an hour passed.

When she was about to hurriedly prepare to go out, she glanced at her phone and realized that Yan Cheng had called her and sent her a WeChat message.

The message was nothing more than asking her when she was going to come over.

Chen Jinyao bent down to change her shoes. Because she had to drive, she wore white flat shoes. After thinking about it, she put on the high heels in the shoe cabinet and packed them in a bag. The door closed with a clang and she waited for the gap on the stairs. , she called Yan Cheng back.

As soon as the call was connected, she spoke first: “I’m going out now.”

“Yes.” Yan Cheng responded in a low voice to show that he understood. His voice was gentle and seemed to be smiling: “Don’t worry, it’s the weekend tomorrow anyway.”

After pondering for two seconds, Chen Jinyao retorted: “Tsk, I’m not in a hurry.”

There isn’t much to say at this moment.

Yan Cheng told her: “Drive carefully.”

“Okay.” Chen Jinyao responded and then hung up the phone.

In the end, it was wearing too little ground.

I was shivering from the cold as soon as I got outside.

Even the breath he exhaled seemed to be smoking.

There was not much traffic jam in the Imperial Capital at this time. About twenty minutes later, Chen Jinyao arrived at Erguan, but when she arrived, the parking spaces near Erguan were full, so she had to go out and find a parking space farther away. The car is parked.

Yan Cheng probably calculated the time well.

He sent her a message and asked her to enter the other door to the south when she arrived.

Facing the north, Chen Jinyao was halfway through the trot. After seeing the content of the message, she paused and turned. The moment she turned to another road, she glanced around and vaguely seemed to have scanned the message. Zhou Xue’s figure.

The figure passed by in a flash, and Chen Jinyao didn’t think too much.

As she approached the south gate, around the corner, the streetlight was probably out of order, flickering, and Yan Cheng was waiting for her there with his hands in his pockets against the wall.

After hearing the noise, he turned his face and raised his eyes.

The moment their eyes met, a trace of surprise flashed across Yan Cheng’s eyes.

I probably didn’t expect that she would be dressed like this today with heavy makeup.

Yan Cheng seemed to think for a few seconds, then tilted his head, twitched the corners of his mouth and said half-jokingly: “Hey, who are you?”
