When Careeraholic Meets Workaholic

"Yaoer, where have you been? I have already arrived at Shu Pinju, where are you?"

Zhou Yao didn't speak. He listened to the voice on the phone and pinched the bridge of his nose painfully.

This top-heavy feeling has been with him for several years. Ever since his mother passed away, he has been unable to sleep. His sleepy body is accompanied by thoughts of suicide like devil thorns, and even breathing is painful for him.

It wasn't until he hung up the phone that he remembered that the voice on the phone seemed to be He Yu?Director He, the major shareholder of Blue Star International Film and Television Company, will call him?The sun came out from the west?

Associating with what this person did, Zhou Yao's blood pressure began to soar again. White marks appeared on his fingers pinching the steering wheel, and he used all his strength to control himself to step on the accelerator.

He has depression, and he doesn't want to die, but he couldn't control himself when he got sick, so he hasn't driven a car for two years.

But after waiting for a long time like facing a big enemy, those pessimistic emotions did not come up. He neither wanted to step on the gas pedal, nor did he want to hit the opposite wall, until the car horn sounded "Didi——" behind him.

Zhou Yao realized that he wanted to give He Yu a hard punch right now!

Strange.

Zhou Yao drove the car steadily through the intersection of traffic lights, and found that he did not have the pessimistic emotions that had fallen to the bottom of his mind at all, only the flying anger that was about to burn the sky, and the strange thing was that in this boiling emotion, he was still able to Stay sane enough to take good control of the steering wheel in your hands.

Only then did Zhou Yao belatedly realize that this scene was very familiar, as if he had had such an experience more than ten years ago...

After staying up late and finishing typing, I went to bed for three hours, and was woken up by a phone call. I rushed to Shu Pinju in a daze, and signed the contract handed over by my friend without warning, and sold all the copyrights of my works.

buyout.

Half sell half free cabbage price.

In fact, there are no regrets about what is written in black and white. Even though the last seven works became popular all over the world, Zhou Yao didn't care about it. What really chilled him was He Yu's attitude, his cold and cunning capitalist nature.

Zhou Yao knew that He Yu should have participated in the bankruptcy of his family.

But... those things don't seem to have happened yet.

When Zhou Yao saw He Yu at the gate of Shu Pinju, he saw He Yu graciously opened the door for him with that hateful and young face on his face. Zhou Yao knew that he should be back and reborn at the age of 28. , good health and a happy family.

Of course, he hasn't given these three-faced guys the capital to make a fortune.

"Shu Pinju" is a hot pot restaurant, authentic mountain hot pot, the business is very good, and it is full of friends at noon, the bright red soup is rolling, and the street is full of fragrance.

Zhou Yao followed He Yu directly into the private room, the red soup was boiling, and the beautifully arranged dishes were already on the table.He Yu led Zhou Yao to his seat, pulled it away, and then said with concern: "Do you have to write at night? How can your body survive in the long run? Pay attention to your work and rest."

Zhou Yao looked at him expressionlessly.

He was not very good at getting along with people and had a cold personality. Now that he came back after being tortured for a while, his heart was frozen, and he didn't want to be polite to He Yu.

I don't even bother to pretend.

What's more, at this time, in terms of family background, He Yu always hunched over and smiled flatteringly when he saw him.

He Yu is also a person who can do great things, able to bend and stretch, and stabbed a knife in the back the moment he called you brother and brother, so looking at Zhou Yao who looks like a beautiful man in front of him, even though he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to show half of it on his face.

He affectionately sat down next to Zhou Yao: "Auntie and uncle are all okay? I haven't seen them for a while, and Auntie is really the gentlest mother I have ever seen. I heard that Grandpa is not in good health recently, so I went there some time ago Changbai Mountain brought back an old ginseng, and sent it back to Grandpa."

After saying this, he sighed again: "But let me tell you, you are born with a good life. When I saw you writing online articles back then, I thought you were delaying your life. No one can dream, but you can create Such a good work."

Finally, he grinned and said, "Okay, let's eat first. I've reserved a seat at the teahouse on Changlong Street, and we'll talk slowly after eating."

"No." Zhou Yao has been sitting in a posture of resistance since he entered the room. He doesn't have He Yu's all-round skills, so he can do whatever he thinks in his heart. He doesn't want to see He Yu for a minute longer. He is together.

He Yu smiled and said, "Did it disturb your sleep? That's fine too. We'll leave after dinner, and I'll call you out later. I'm not in a hurry, so I called you at noon."

Zhou Yao raised his eyelids to look at him. He has single eyelids, narrow and long, and when looking at people, there is a sense of cool distance, but at this moment, the eyes looking at He Yu are as sharp as blades.

He Yu couldn't smile anymore after being cut off by this look, and suddenly understood what Zhou Yao meant by "can't".

"What's wrong? Are you angry with me for disturbing your sleep? Can't I apologize?" He Yu added more patience and care, and continued to curry favor with Zhou Yao.

But Zhou Yao stood up. He came here because he didn't know when and where he was before. If he figured it out sooner, he wouldn't even want to see He Yu.

There are too many words if you don't speculate, the rivers and lakes are far away, so don't see each other.

Seeing that Zhou Yao was about to leave, He Yu became anxious, and stopped Zhou Yao in a few steps, "What's the matter? Didn't you agree? We have to talk about what you think, and only then can there be results, right?"

He Yu blocked the door, and Zhou Yao couldn't get out. He put his hands in his pockets, looked at the man in front of him expressionlessly, wanted to laugh, but couldn't, so he just said in a cold voice, "Get out of the way."

He Yu gritted his teeth and didn't speak. He was bound to win the copyright of the Tianshen series. If it wasn't for the fear of long nights and dreams, why would he call someone out at noon? I really regret it at the beginning, if I knew it, I would have waited for the night.

"Or, I'll see you again in two days."

He Yu gave way, but Zhou Yao didn't leave. He looked at He Yu and said, "I won't sign anymore, don't you understand?"

"But, it's done..."

"The contract hasn't been signed yet."

"Yes! But..."

"Don't look for me again, I don't want to see you again."

"Yaoer, you're so angry." He Yu sneered, "Is it too old? We have been friends for so many years, we can talk about the copyright matter, and we can't spoil the relationship because of this. Okay, I'll go, I'll wait for your call ah."

He Yu really left after speaking. He has always been able to distinguish between the important and the important. At least for now, Zhou Yao, a friend, is more important than business, and the power and wealth of the Zhou family is the key to his curry favor.

He Yu, who said this, really seemed to be cooperating with a dog leg who doesn't understand the world and the world. He smiled and felt wronged, which made Zhou Yao sick.

Zhou Yao stepped up and left without looking back. When he got back to the car, he immediately blocked He Yu's phone.

Probably because of his birth, Zhou Yao was not good at socializing in his previous life. Naturally, in this life, he can't be false and submissive. He knocked out his teeth and swallowed blood, and ended up suffering from a whole body of illnesses.

To do it again, he might work hard to change and adapt to this society, but facing He Yu, sorry, he is not in the mood.

Driving back to the house that was sold a long time ago in the previous life, the part-time worker was still cleaning the house, and saw him shouting: "Mr. Zhou, you're back."

Zhou Yao nodded, and walked around each room, confirming that this was really the house he bought in his previous life to avoid his family's nagging and quietness, and Zhou Yao's restless heart also felt the same. It fell into place.

Really come back.

Back before everything happened, he was still able to do whatever he wanted without any worries.

28 years old, not too young, but not too old, it is time to create a career that truly belongs to me, so that when the time comes in the future, I can protect my loved ones.

"Well, Mr. Zhou, I didn't clean the windows because today is not a regular cleaning day. Do you think it is necessary to clean it?" Auntie the part-time worker misunderstood Zhou Yao's behavior of patrolling inside and outside the house, and hurriedly explained.

When Zhou Yao picked up the tablet computer, he said, "It's okay, you do your job." Then he opened the news page with the tablet computer and browsed the current news.

In more than ten years, the country's policies have changed several times, but Zhou Yao clearly remembers that this is the era when online literature is booming.

His family environment is excellent, and his parents' educational philosophy is quite open. He has his own specialties and allows him to do things he is interested in, so Zhou Yao started to create his own works after being exposed to online literature during college.

It is probably because of his family environment that broadened his horizons and created a huge structure, coupled with a creative environment without burden and pressure, he easily became famous in the Internet literary world, and then ushered in the era of Internet reform TV dramas.

Those who eat crabs have made money, and a large amount of capital has settled in. Film and television companies, large and small, began to frantically snap up well-known Internet literature IPs. Signed to He Yu.

Because He Yu is a friend.

Friends are starting a business, so support them.

Zhou Yao didn't expect that his cherished friend gave him a knife in the end.

After watching the news, it was already dark, and before Zhou Yao could figure out what to do next, his phone rang.

Seeing the name on the caller ID, Zhou Yao blinked, and a thin layer of water mist spread on his black eyes.

He took a deep breath and called out, "Mom."

The mother's voice came from the phone, asking caringly, "Are you awake?"

"Ah."

"have you eaten?"

"Nope."

"Be careful with your stomach."

"Send it right away."

"Eat more, drink less coffee, don't stay up late, do you have to write in the middle of the night?"

"Inspiration in the middle of the night."

"What kind of inspiration is not inspired? I know that you are upside down day and night and hurt your body. If you do this again, I will go over and stare at you. Is our family short of money? Or are you short of money? Do you need to work so hard? Can you not let me Worry."

"Um……"

"...What's the sound, you're not sick, are you?"

Zhou Yao raised his hand to touch his face, only to find that there were hot tears.
