Chapter 229: with translation of chapter title

In the first-floor lobby,

I heard Niu Ju and Hou Laoban of the Zaocheng Grand Hotel having a fierce argument.

Hou Laoban of the Zaocheng Grand Hotel wouldn't let Niu Ju take Zhou Fuhai away.

Niu Ju didn't take Hou Laoban's obstruction seriously at all. Because Niu Ju is also quite muddle-headed. For now he can only believe what Kang Yali says.

That is, this Zhou Fuhai is an impostor.

At this moment, Hou Laoban earnestly tried to prove to Niu Ju,

This Zhou Fuhai is someone from Sijiucheng.

He said to Niu Ju: "Niu Ju, listen to me, I guarantee with my integrity that Mr. Zhou is from Sijiucheng. Taking him away is like inviting trouble."

"Can you afford to provoke the Zhou family? Quickly release Mr. Zhou, explain yourself, and you might still have a chance to live."

As soon as Niu Ju heard Hou Laoban guarantee with his integrity,

he flew into a rage immediately,

"You still have integrity? What can your integrity guarantee?"

"Whether it's real or fake, I'll find out by checking. If something happens, I'll take the blame; it's none of your business. Look at how chaotic your Zaocheng Grand Hotel is. A few days ago there was a fire, and now this big brawl has occurred."

"I think your hotel is about to go out of business."

Upon hearing Niu Ju say that, Hou Laoban didn't dare say anything else, just gave a dark look and said: "Niu Ju, hum, just wait and see, there will be a time for you to cry."

Niu Ju completely ignored Hou Laoban's words and took the person away.

After Niu Ju took the person away,

At that moment I walked over from the side,

then patted Hou Laoban on the shoulder,

and softly said: "Hou Laoban, you don't need to guarantee with your integrity; it's fake."

Hou Laoban looked at me,

quickly rubbed his eyes,

"Ah, Mr. Zhou, what on earth is going on? It's so chaotic, fake, this..."

I just smiled and then said: "My room is reserved; I'll be back in a few days."

Hou Laoban stood there dazed, saying blankly: "Okay, Mr. Zhou, I'll keep it, damn, what the hell is this."

I ignored Hou Laoban and walked straight to the outside of the Zaocheng Grand Hotel,

Shi Yong was sitting in the car waiting for me.

I hurriedly got into the car and then told Shi Yong: "Let's go, don't take the main road, take the backroads to avoid the cameras."

Shi Yong said: "Don't worry, bro, I'm very familiar with Zaocheng here."

"I won't let a single camera spot us."

Shi Yong and I drove the car, weaving through the brightly lit Zaocheng, and soon we were back in Shanghu.

After arriving in Shanghu, it was already midnight.

Shangguan Zhuren was still waiting for us.

Upon seeing me return, he was overjoyed.

He hurriedly asked: "How is Jianqiang?"

I laughed and said: "Everything's settled; they really are a bit chaotic."

That Zhou Fuhai, upon returning, beat up Kang Yali,

He took Kang Yali for a thief. Kang Yali called Niu Ju over,

Niu Ju arrested Zhou Fuhai and took him away.

I reckon Niu Ju's brain is like paste; he can't make sense of this mess.

Zhou Fuhai's ID card is fake.

Also, I deleted part of the footage from Kang Yali's camera.

That way they also can't find any trace.

I deliberately met with Hou Laoban just before leaving the hotel.

I deliberately told him that the Zhou Fuhai Niu Ju had just arrested was fake.

Anyway, if this continues, with all the true and false mixed up, they themselves won't be able to make sense of it.

"Great, that's how we do it: first we throw them into chaos; only in chaos do we have a chance. Niu Ju is a hothead; he even believes women's words. Hum, holding onto this Zhou Fuhai will be a hot potato."

"Only we can help him."

I heard Shangguan Zhuren say that,

and asked, puzzled: "What do you mean, Shangguan Zhuren?"

Shangguan Zhuren laughed and said: "I originally planned to use Zhou Fuhai to get rid of Niu Ju, but then I thought, even if we got rid of Niu Ju, we'd just get Li Ju or Zhao Ju instead—both are people of Kong Shi, which would be more troublesome. We need to win over Niu Ju."

"Then, when we help him, he'll help us in return."

Upon hearing Shangguan Zhuren say that, I still didn't understand the situation.

Shi Yong laughed on the side: "Shangguan Zhuren, you're making it too complicated. We can't figure it out. Why would we help Niu Ju again? He's our enemy."

"Shi Yong, think about it: our strength is too weak now; if we can win over an enemy, that's victory. The enemy's enemy is our friend—remember that." Shangguan Zhuren said to Shi Yong.

Shi Yong still shook his head, not understanding.

I said: "Forget it, Shi Yong, don't think about it. We've been busy all day, we're exhausted. Also, tomorrow arrange Xiao Wu to hurry up and deal with this car; we need to buy a few used cars as backups."

Shi Yong acknowledged with a sound,

then went back to his room to sleep.

I was also very tired, having acted all day,

I went back inside, took out my phone to look, and saw that New Year's Day was just around the corner.

In a flash another year was about to go by. The New Year was coming.

This year truly had its ups and downs,

Life fell from the highest point to the lowest point,

Sigh, but I managed to get through it.

I just don't know when I'll be able to see Li Ming, his older brother, Qian Niang, Zhou Wei, Ru Meng and the others. They are all my relatives. I believe they are also worried about my safety.

But for now I can only hide here.

I'll explain to them later.

Thinking and thinking, I fell asleep.

The next morning I discovered that it had snowed during the night.

A heavy snow fell silently, dyeing the whole earth white.

I watched the drifting snow, alone by the window,

silent and speechless.

Perhaps at my age I will come to understand many things.

After life passes forty, one realizes that existence involves more considerations of birth, aging, sickness and death.

In these fifteen years I have never stopped my steps to properly look around; every day I am rushing about for money.

I just want to earn more money, make the company stronger, then I will gain higher honor and become famous.

Even in the end, it's just to live for an empty reputation.

I completely handed over the company's affairs to Zhao Xiaohua,

Every day I ponder how to achieve greater fame.

The result? Everything was like a sand sculpture. After a great flood came, it all collapsed.

And start again from the beginning.

Pure white, it drifted down silently,

Covering up how much ugliness.

In this world, as long as people have desires, it is full of conflict.

My desire for revenge now is not as strong as it was at the beginning.

Because if it's too strong it's easy to do extreme things. For example, when I see Kang Yali I can already completely control my emotions, and I engage with her.

I haven't said anything bad to her; it's not that I don't hate her, I just no longer show it.

Think about why Kang Yali does this—for money; how much money does a woman ultimately need to be satisfied?

For love, she wanders among various men, even becoming someone's plaything.

I really can't understand it.

Sun Dajun actually likes such a slut—speechless. Now Sun Dajun is in prison, and Qiao Jie doesn't even know how much pain she's in.

Perhaps letting Sun Dajun go to prison will let him understand a lot.

Things in this world aren't what he thought,

A man needs experience to mature; I hope he can mature in prison. Now nobody can help him—only he can save himself.

Zhengzheng—after the company ran into this, what will he do? Unknown.

And have Xiao Shitou and Zhang Zong recognized each other yet?

I don't even dare to contact Shi Jinhe now.

I only hope that Shi Jinhe doesn't quit his job at Da Heng Group, because he has a bunch of workers under him.

Only with people does there exist a future.

Although they are just laborers, wanting to unite them is not easy.

Is Da Heng Group's development not just the result of everyone working together?

The snow continues to drift down,

I watch, I think,

Winter has already come; is spring still far away?
