Life in siheyuan era

In the blink of an eye, fifteen years had passed since Mo Youji's death. After the memorial ceremony, Zhou Zhiyuan and Shen Lanyin walked hand-in-hand up the mountain, standing at the summit and gazing at the scenery below.

Shen Lanyin asked softly, "Are you hesitating because you're afraid it's unlucky?"

Zhou Zhiyuan replied with melancholy, "Yes, my parents are getting older and older. I'm really afraid of that day."

Shen Lanyin was silent, she too feared the arrival of that day, and quietly listened to Zhou Zhiyuan's somber words: "Life seems like a cycle. When we're young, we can't wait to break free from our parents' control. When we're older, we wish they would control us every day."

Hearing his lament, Shen Lanyin said softly, "You've never grown up. Now you're even asking for a beating."

Zhou Zhiyuan laughed and said, "My mom is full of energy when she hits me, as if she's returned to her youth. Why not let her hit me a few more times, with such a good reaction?"

"I have a suggestion for you. While Shuxin hasn't started her own family, you should also prepare a belt. Find an excuse and give him a beating. It's very good for your physical and mental health."

"And that kid Shuwen hasn't been home for a long time. When he comes home to visit, swing the belt as soon as he walks in the door. After a good beating, all the negative emotions of a mother worrying about her son traveling thousands of miles will definitely disappear."

He offered a suggestion, and Shen Lanyin completely agreed, "Let's do that. We'll give them both a double beating, and we'll prepare a belt for you too."

"But he's my own son," Zhou Zhiyuan protested.

"Am I a stepmother?" Shen Lanyin said angrily.

Zhou Zhiyuan laughed and said, "You'll learn from my mom, and I'll learn from my dad."

"I won't learn," Shen Lanyin refused. "My son isn't as naughty as you were."

As she spoke, Shen Lanyin pulled Zhou Zhiyuan down the mountain, but Zhou Zhiyuan called out, "He's not naughty? Li Wu called me and said that Shuwen actually got into a fight in the army. And Shuxin is scheming all day long, just a little schemer. We really need to take care of her."

Zhou Zhiyuan was worried, but Shen Lanyin didn't care, and replied indifferently, "It's their nature. Let them be. You can't control it."

Shen Lanyin's decisiveness made Zhou Zhiyuan feel wronged, "I admit I got into fights, but who did I scheme against?"

He didn't admit it, and Shen Lanyin exposed his past, "Have you schemed against few people? Take Fang Xiang for example. You've made Fang Xiang run away whenever he sees you. Even Junling isn't happy about it."

"And that Liu Mingxue, wasn't his overnight escape related to you?"

"I'm just curious, why don't you ever mess with Hao Zhiwen?"

Zhou Zhiyuan could answer this question, "Hao Zhiwen is honestly studying medicine. Why would I mess with him?"

He was telling the truth. After Hao Zhiwen was punished for his lifestyle problems, he had been honestly studying medicine all these years. Zhou Zhiyuan had no reason to mess with him.

But because of Shen Lanbo's dream, Shen Lanyin had always been resentful towards Hao Zhiwen, and said angrily, "We should deal with Hao Zhiwen. He's not good to Yang Dan."

This reason made Zhou Zhiyuan ask in surprise, "What's it to me?"

And Shen Lanyin had a reason, "Master wanted you to marry Yang Dan in the first place."

"Ha..." Zhou Zhiyuan laughed, and then said, "Don't be petty. You and Hao Zhiwen are both experts and professors in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular medicine. Competition makes things interesting."

He was thinking too much. Shen Lanyin corrected him, "Does Hao Zhiwen dare to compete with me? Our levels in Western medicine are about the same, but I have the path of traditional Chinese medicine. He can only sigh in admiration. He's also ranked behind me in the professor rankings."

Shen Lanyin didn't want to mention Hao Zhiwen anymore. At this time, she suddenly remembered something. She had a little secret. The her in Shen Lanbo's dream actually married Hao Zhiwen? Thinking about it now, she felt depressed.

She forgot that she had hesitated between Zhou Zhiyuan and Hao Zhiwen, and only remembered that she liked Zhou Zhiyuan. That one yuan and one fen was the proof.

In the beginning, she deducted one yuan as a deposit to retaliate against Zhou Zhiyuan. Later, she thought Zhou Zhiyuan was greedy for money, and snatched his one fen. This one yuan and one fen were still treasured, and were a testament to their love.

The facts proved that she didn't like Hao Zhiwen, so she didn't want to mention him anymore.

But Zhou Zhiyuan thought of Xie Xiaoguang because she mentioned traditional Chinese medicine. That mischievous young man from back then was now also a divine doctor, and had become the personal doctor of the ZY leadership. And Zhou Zhiyuan's body had become the target he had to conquer. He would never give up until he found a problem.

Thinking of Xie Xiaoguang, Zhou Zhiyuan thought of something and said softly to Shen Lanyin, "Tell Xiaoguang to stay home and read books and raise flowers when he has nothing to do. Don't always run to my place. Whether I'm in a meeting or working, he comes in and takes my pulse, making the employees nervous all day long, thinking I have a terminal illness."

Speaking of this, Shen Lanyin laughed and said, "I can't control this. Xiaoguang is just like that. He won't give up until he finds something wrong. Why don't you let him prescribe you two doses of medicine?"

"Why take medicine if I'm not sick?" Zhou Zhiyuan muttered, and then frowned slightly when he saw several figures walking towards them.

And Shen Lanyin laughed and said, "Zu Feng is really anxious!"

Zhou Zhiyuan sighed and replied, "He has to wait even if he's anxious."

Shen Lanyin shook her head gently, stepped forward and walked down the mountain, greeting Zu Feng and walking down the mountain accompanied by several men and women.

And Zhou Zhiyuan waited for Zu Feng to come up, and laughed, "Anxious again?"

"No," Zu Feng replied indifferently, "Today the sun is shining brightly, it's a good opportunity to explore the changes in the mountains."

Zu Feng chuckled, and then asked, "Your wife still has concerns."

"She suddenly had a great epiphany..." Zhou Zhiyuan laughed, "Everything will take its course."

Hearing this answer, Zu Feng asked suspiciously, "Did she have an epiphany, or is she completely relieved about you?"

Zhou Zhiyuan laughed and said, "She suddenly realized that she was jealous, jealous of my three years of disappearance, jealous of my tacit understanding with Han Xue, and it has nothing to do with other things."

Hearing his explanation, Zu Feng laughed and said, "She only just figured it out now!"

Zhou Zhiyuan laughed and didn't answer. If this matter didn't involve Fairy Rui, he wouldn't have answered.

And Zu Feng didn't mention this matter anymore, and asked softly, "Have you considered the issue of a successor?"

Zhou Zhiyuan laughed and said, "I plan to divide the company into three. Xiaozhi and Shuhua will form a group to establish an electronic research and development company, which Xiaozhi will be responsible for running and Shuhua will be responsible for research."

"Shuwen and Xiaojun will form a group to establish a commercial entity company, focusing on entering the food and drinking water industry."

"Shuxin will be in charge of the training institution, responsible for the collaboration and planning of the two companies, with a focus on talent cultivation and discovery."

"These three companies should now enter the cultivation stage. Shuwen and Xiaojun have also been trained. It's time for them to retire from the army and gradually enter the grassroots level of the company for training. Alas! I still have to talk to Lanbo about it."

His idea was supported by Zu Feng, who said happily, "I'll draft the plan. You should still enter the real estate industry according to the plan. Lin Ya and Lou Xiao'e will definitely support this plan."

Zu Feng knew that Zhou Zhiyuan was not good at formulating detailed plans.

Even he found this matter strange. Zhou Zhiyuan's plans were very perfect, but they just couldn't be implemented.

This mysterious matter made Zu Feng rack his brains, and finally came to a conclusion, "You know the secrets of heaven, so God can't let you plan anything, otherwise others will have no way to survive."

Zhou Zhiyuan thought this conclusion was very scientific.

He knew the secrets of heaven, so God had to restrict him. If it weren't for Zhang Limin, Shen Lanbo, Zu Feng, Shen Lanyin, and Han Xue planning for him all these years, he might have accomplished nothing.

He had a deep understanding of this. Everyone wanted to know the future, but really knowing it in advance wasn't necessarily a good thing.

This was his little secret, and he didn't tell anyone. God had already taken good care of him by not letting him return to SY according to the original trajectory, and letting him transfer to Beijing to face a new environment and a new group of people. He was very content, and with a sunny face, he went down the mountain, got into his black Jeep, and stepped on the gas pedal, heading towards Beijing.

But this sunny face could also cause him trouble. Shen Lanyin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at his expression and asked coldly, "Tonight is Director Qiu's seventieth birthday. You're happy to be able to see Han Xue, right?"

Shen Lanyin's jealousy flared up again, and Zhou Zhiyuan quickly replied, "Aren't you going tonight too?"

"Hmph..." Shen Lanyin snorted coldly and replied, "Can me going stop you from flirting with Han Xue?"

Zhou Zhiyuan quickly explained, "When did I ever flirt with her? I only have you in my eyes."

He had already expressed his loyalty, but Shen Lanyin still didn't let up, "Have you two flirted little? Didn't Han Xue glare at you when you were eating together the night before last?"

"Does that count as flirting?" Zhou Zhiyuan protested.

"It counts," Shen Lanyin affirmed.

The facts proved that Zhou Zhiyuan's statement that Shen Lanyin had a great epiphany was definitely a misjudgment. In terms of jealousy, Shen Lanyin had never had a great epiphany.
