Sole decision

The smog of Zhou's family has a great impact on the business, and the board of directors is also in a dilemma due to the split between Zhou Jian and Zhou Ling. If this continues, the company will be overwhelmed before the two of them can decide the winner.There are still internal and external troubles, not to mention the Wang family, other families are also eyeing the Zhou family, but they have not put it on the surface.

In order to have a formal statement, and to prevent the gaffe from being enlarged, Liu Rui announced a meeting to negotiate.His words were very simple, but the amount of information was very rich. The implication was that the two of them should have had enough trouble. Although each had their own power, they still had to rely on the big tree of the Zhou family in the end.Although Zhou Xiangyun recognized Zhou Ling's status as heir, but this status is not secure, Zhou Jian may still launch an attack on Zhou Ling through the operation of the board of directors.

The meeting time was in the afternoon, and in the half-day free time in the morning, he and several elders in the board of directors invited the brothers to drink tea in their own name.

They all knew very well that the so-called meeting was just a formality, and this bowl of tea was the final word, and the important officials of the family represented by Liu Rui came forward to choose a person who really recognized it from among them.No matter what Zhou Jian Zhou Ling is, they only recognize people who can bring them real benefits from the beginning to the end.

As for Zhou Xiangyun's original arrangement, even his two sons were ignored, let alone the others.

Obviously, if they continue to fight, it will be of no benefit to anyone.Zhou Jian and Zhou Ling naturally understood the reason and said they would attend the appointment.In addition to them, Zhou Ang, Zhou Ce, and Pei Zhaoxue also received the invitation, which is not surprising, after all, there must be scenes that should be there.

The date is not far away, just a week later, but at such a juncture, Zhou Ang was suddenly taken away by the police because of an illegal transaction in a nightclub, which shocked Zhou Ce.

The distribution of rights in Lucheng has always been clearly defined, and these families also maintain a specious relationship with the government. The so-called "bloodshed incidents" are just their internal struggles and have nothing to do with outsiders. "Rules" are very important here. The big families support the development of Lucheng, and the officials mostly turn a blind eye to their private actions.

Why was Zhou Ang arrested at this time?There are all kinds of transactions in the underground world. Although Zhou Ang is not the kind of quick-witted and intelligent person, even if he does something, he will not be found out.

Zhou Ce had previously asked Zhou Ang to help him leave Lucheng. It is not known how long Zhou Ang will be detained now. Judging from the current situation, he is afraid that he will miss the good show.

Who is it?Who wants to muddy the water even more?

Zhou Ce was thinking alone in the study, when someone knocked on the door suddenly, he answered and saw that it was Pei Zhaoxue.

"what's up?"

"No." Pei Zhaoxue closed the door behind his back, "I saw the lights here are still on so late, so I came to see you." He walked to the desk, turned the lamp brighter, Zhou Ce's body shrouded in darkness gradually emerge. "You look like Uncle Yun when you sit like this." Pei Zhaoxue said, "You are just like him when you were young."

"Say it as if you've seen it before."

"No." Pei Zhaoxue replied, "But my father told me that they worked together when they were young, until..."

"Brother Pei." Zhou Ce looked up at Pei Zhaoxue, "It's been so many years, have you ever thought about avenging Uncle Pei?"

"I think." Pei Zhaoxue replied without hesitation.He was still young when his father died, but he already had memories, and Zhou Xiangyun never concealed it from him.Pei Zhaoxue only had one picture of his mother. He had been wandering with his father since he was a child, and it was only after he came to Lucheng that he became stable.He didn't know how his father and Zhou Xiangyun met, he just remembered that life began to brighten at a certain moment.

No need to starve or suffer from cold, no need to be precarious.

But he is also very lonely, because his father is often not by his side.He still felt like a wild child in his childhood without his family.Maybe when he was young, he fantasized about a simple and ordinary future, but soon, he lost the only bond in this world.

Pei Zhaoxue learned many things in the Zhou family, one of which is that revenge must be revenged.

However, he whispered again, "But the people who participated in that incident back then are all dead, so who should I ask for revenge?"

Zhou Ce asked, "Didn't my dad check it?"

"I've checked, but there's very little information. Uncle Yun used to sigh, saying that it would have been better if Dad hadn't been sent." Pei Zhaoxue lowered his eyes, "Uncle Yun has done a lot for our father and son, and I will repay him in this life."

Zhou Ce laughed and said, "Why didn't you repay me?"

"you……"

"Okay, okay, no kidding." Zhou Ce said, "How is the manpower arrangement?"

"I have already ordered that Zhou Jian and Zhou Ling will be watched by people around the clock for 24 hours, and other families have also set up eyeliners. We will know as soon as there is any disturbance."

Zhou Ce nodded lightly, stretched out his hand and scratched the table, and suddenly asked Pei Zhaoxue, "Brother Pei, did you bring cigarettes?"

Pei Zhaoxue took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, tapped it with his fingers, shook out one, handed it to Zhou Ce, and helped him light it.Zhou Ce took a puff of the cigarette between his fingers and then slowly exhaled, falling into silence.

"You never smoked before." Pei Zhaoxue said.

"Smoking once in a while, studying is also very tiring." Zhou Ce said, "What about you? I saw you smoking in the yard that night."

"..."

Zhou Ce chuckled: "Then you must know a lot of secrets." He leaned back as if relaxing, and as his body stretched, half of his body was submerged in the darkness with weak lights, only the cheeks that were close to the light source could be clearly seen , the only thing left is a little fire surrounded by smoke.

"If I were the eldest brother, I would have let you die in Wang's house that day, and it would be a disaster to keep you." Zhou Ce lit his cigarette butt, "They are afraid of you, but they dare not really do it."

Pei Zhaoxue said, "Why don't they fear Liu Rui? But they never expected that Liu Rui would cooperate with you."

"Uncle Rui is an old man, he understands it better than anyone else."

"He is loyal to the Zhou family."

"Yes, he is very loyal, but that doesn't mean he thinks highly of me." Zhou Ce said, "When I went to find him that day, he asked me exactly the same question as Lu Ai."

"what?"

Zhou Ce imitated his tone and said: "'A Ce, you don't have anyone or a gun in your hand, don't be too fancy'." After he finished speaking, he shrugged, laughed twice, and extinguished the cigarette in his hand, "My hand There was no gun on the ground, but I stood behind him and put my finger on the back of his head, of course he knew that I was just scaring him, but it didn't matter, I gave him a condition that no one could give him."

"If I get the power, I will elect him as the joint president of the chamber of commerce. I have [-] votes, and Lu Ai has one vote. Wang Shijin cannot vote if he wants to run, even if he has the ability to get the Jin family and The two tickets from the Bai family don't make any sense either."

Pei Zhaoxue was completely unaware that Zhou Ce had made such a deal with Liu Rui. He pressed his hands on the table and approached Zhou Ce, saying, "But Liu Rui is not the head of the family. What would he use as the president?"

"Who stipulates that the chairman can only be a member of the family?" Zhou Ce said, "Since everyone can benefit from it, why not do it? I don't have a law knife, but don't you know what I want? If you can’t break it, you can’t build it, Lucheng’s rules should be re-enacted.”

"What about Lu Ai? What can she get?"

"With the backing of the Zhou family and the entire Chamber of Commerce, the Lu family's business will be guaranteed the greatest possible traffic." Zhou Ce said, "This woman is very ambitious, and she wants to go ashore for nothing, and Lucheng can't trap her. .”

"What's left of you?" Pei Zhaoxue asked in a low voice, "Zhou Ce, you are raising a tiger."

"This is just part of the deal, they are nothing." Zhou Ce reached out and grabbed Pei Zhaoxue's tie, pulling him towards him. The two of them were almost face to face. Zhou Ce said, "The biggest hidden danger around me will always be you , but as long as you promise to be loyal to me, I will give you everything I have."

Pei Zhaoxue was never used to being so close to Zhou Ce. He frowned subconsciously. Zhou Ce let go of him, took out a gun from the drawer and threw it on the table, saying, "Help me to kill Zhou Jian!" Bar."

Pei Zhaoxue looked at the gun hidden in the darkness, but did not move.

"I can not do it."

"Is it impossible or reluctant?" Zhou Ce said, "I heard that he helped you renovate the church in Beicheng, and you go there every now and then. He has always wanted to please you, because he knows what you mean. In fact, he understands much better than the second brother. But in the end he still doesn't believe you, he and the second brother are very conceited people, as long as they ask each other to verify the truth of the matter, my little trick will be exposed. But they won’t, they believe their own judgment is far better than others, they use you as a tool to fight for power, why are you reluctant?”

"Haven't you thought about it?" Pei Zhaoxue said indifferently, "If I wasn't the Pei Zhaoxue of today, would you look at me right now?"

"Obviously it's you!" Zhou Ce stood up with a "chuckle", and the chair was brought down by him.Pei Zhaoxue didn't know why Zhou Ce had such a big reaction. He said such a word without beginning and end angrily, and then it seemed to be on the brakes suddenly, and he stood there without any further words.

What is it obviously him?

Zhou Ce thought to himself, it was obviously Pei Zhaoxue who didn't even want to look at him, but Pei Zhaoxue would slander people, her upper lip touched her lower lip very lightly.He stared at Pei Zhaoxue's lips, and suddenly wanted to pinch his chin to make him take back what he just said.

But he didn't do it, it was an idea in his head, and it had nothing to do with his actual actions.

"Brother Pei, I don't like to hear you say such things." Zhou Ce said, "I trust you so much, but you treat me like this." His tone dropped, looking a little pitiful, "Zhou Jian is true Want you to die, are you reluctant to bear him?"

"No." Pei Zhaoxue shook his head, "You are all Uncle Yun's children, I grew up with you, like brothers, I can't do this kind of thing."

"But they all want to kill me." Zhou Ce muttered this in a low voice. He lowered his head, alone, as if he had been abandoned, "Then what am I? What did I do wrong? Should I be the right?" a victim of the

"They won't succeed." Pei Zhaoxue put her hand on Zhou Ce's shoulder, "I will always be by your side, protecting you, no one can get close to you and hurt you."

Zhou Ce opened his arms and hugged Pei Zhaoxue. Pei Zhaoxue resisted instinctively. His chin rested on Pei Zhaoxue's shoulder. Only then did Pei Zhaoxue let go of his strength and patted him on the back.Their chests are tightly pressed together. This is the shortest distance that people's hearts can reach, but it is the distance that never meets each other's eyes.

Zhou Ce's eyes had faded from the weakness just now, and all the indifference appeared instead.

Pei Zhaoxue looked out the window, the moon was hanging high, but he didn't dare to look directly for fear of being spied on.
