Chapter 1538

"Saw it." Zhou Andong pointed to the chessboard: "It's right at this position. Old Uncle, you remembered wrong."

"..."

Jian Zhengrong was speechless for a moment: "Fine, you two, father-in-law and son-in-law, are quite something. I want to see if this game of chess can beat me."

Jian Zhengxue winked at Zhou Andong, and Zhou Andong laughed.

At this time, Jian Yue and Jian Mingfan came in, and the two scanned the room.

Jian Mingfan asked: "Brother-in-law, where is my sister?"

"In the kitchen." Zhou Andong said without even raising his head.

Jian Mingfan winked at Jian Yue and then leaned over.

"Tsk tsk tsk, my dad is going to lose."

Jian Zhengrong said without even raising his head: "Go, copy the notes I took two more times."

Jian Mingfan was dumbfounded: "Didn't I already copy them twice?"

"The characters look like spiders crawling, not qualified." Jian Zhengrong waved his hand as if shooing flies: "Hurry up, don't make me lose my temper."

Jian Mingfan looked at Zhou Andong with a mournful face: "Brother-in-law, what on earth happened? To make my dad become so heartless?"

Zhou Andong said solemnly: "Your dad lost something."

"My dad lost something?" Jian Mingfan was on the verge of tears: "That wasn't stolen by me either."

Jian Zhengxue raised his head and said with a smile: "Go write it quickly. If your dad loses something again in a while, it won't just be copying it twice."

"..."

Jian Mingfan turned and walked toward the kitchen very stubbornly: "I'll go ask my mom if I'm actually her biological son."

"Fourth brother." Jian Zhengxue sighed: "Victory and defeat are common in war. You lost this game, so you lost. Why vent your anger on the child? Look, the child has started to doubt life."

Jian Zhengrong pushed the chessboard away: "Not playing anymore."

"Chessmanship is like character." Jian Zhengxue was very dissatisfied: "Fourth brother, you can't be like this, flipping the board when you lose."

Jian Zhengrong snorted: "You two, father-in-law and son-in-law, joined forces to steal my horse. Who exactly has bad chessmanship?"

"Fourth Uncle, come have a smoke." Zhou Andong diligently lit a cigarette for Jian Zhengrong.

Jian Zhengrong was very satisfied: "For the sake of this cigarette, I forgive you."

Zhou Andong was lighting a cigarette for his father-in-law and tilted his head to look over: "Forgive me for what?"

Jian Zhengrong smoked leisurely: "Forgive you two, father and son, for stealing my horse."

"No!" Zhou Andong shook his head and said: "Fourth Uncle, you really remembered wrong. My dad really didn't steal your horse."

Jian Zhengrong wanted to press the cigarette into the ashtray, but hesitated, then reluctantly put it in his mouth, stood up, and left.

"You two, father-in-law and son-in-law, are simply bullying people too much."

Watching Jian Zhengrong go to the kitchen, Zhou Andong said flatteringly to his father-in-law: "Dad, I helped you such a big favor, give me two more boxes of that cigarette."

"None!"

Jian Zhengxue also stood up and walked toward the kitchen, hands behind his back, walking in square steps, humming "Ten Send-offs to the Red Army."

"Sigh!" Zhou Andong sighed: "This deal was a loss. Offended Fourth Uncle and didn't even earn any benefits."

In the kitchen, Zhang Ping was cooking, frying meatballs. Jian Yufang, Zhang Yuemei, and Gu Minglan were washing and cutting vegetables on the side. After the meatballs were fried, they started stir-frying.

Jian Qiu, Jian Yue, and Jian Mingfan surrounded Zhang Ping, constantly taking the fried meatballs from the basin and putting them into their mouths.

Jian Zhengrong and Jian Zhengxue came in, took a look, and then came out. Then the two also left the living room and stood in the courtyard to get some air.

"Second brother, why do you think Yufang suddenly changed her nature?" Jian Zhengrong finally voiced the doubt in his heart.

"Don't you understand our sister?" Jian Zhengxue smiled: "She didn't change her nature, she has something to ask of Dongzi."

Jian Zhengrong frowned: "What could she ask of Dongzi?"

"She can't ask." Jian Zhengxue pondered: "It should be Zhu Liesheng."

"Zhu Liesheng?" Jian Zhengrong was very surprised, then suddenly realized: "Is he going to be sent down to the local level?"

"I'm not too sure about this." Jian Zhengxue shook his head: "But judging from Yufang's performance, it should be about right."

"Now, all over the country, everyone is looking toward the economy, racking their brains to attract investment."

Jian Zhengrong also laughed: "If Zhu Liesheng is sent down, if he wants to achieve political achievements, the fastest and most convenient way is also attracting investment."

Jian Zhengxue said: "He might not look down on the Yugong Group, but he cannot afford to ignore Qiudongfang."

"Now everyone has their eyes on foreign capital, but they have ignored the importance of domestic private enterprises."

Jian Zhengrong sighed and put the cigarette in his hand into his mouth to smoke.

"No way." Jian Zhengxue said: "The general environment is like this."

Jian Zhengrong asked: "Yufang is showing such favor; Dongzi must have seen it. Do you think he will agree?"

"That kid has always been one not to release the hawk until he sees the rabbit." Jian Zhengxue said with a smile: "That depends on where Zhu Liesheng is sent down to and what policies he can offer."

"Zhou Andong is just a little fox." Jian Zhengrong said with great emotion: "I really don't know how he cultivated himself at such a young age. Even I almost suffered a loss at his hands."

"Hahaha..."

Jian Zhengxue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "More than just you, I've been tricked by him more than once."

At this time, Jian Mingliang helped the old lady into the courtyard. Behind them followed another person, who was exactly Zhu Liesheng.

"Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle!"

"Second brother, Fourth brother!"

Jian Mingliang greeted first, and then Zhu Liesheng also greeted them.

The old lady asked: "It's so cold outside, why are you standing in the courtyard?"

"It's too stuffy in the room." Jian Zhengrong said: "Came out to get some air and have a smoke."

"Go inside quickly after smoking. In such cold weather, what if you catch a cold?"

The old lady felt sorry for her sons. Seeing the two nod in agreement, she was helped into the room by Jian Mingliang.

Zhu Liesheng asked: "Has Andong come?"

"He has!" Jian Zhengxue nodded: "He's sitting in the living room."

"I've long wanted to see him." A smile appeared on Zhu Liesheng's face: "It's just that I never had the time. Dad gave a strict order for us all to come back for a meal. I'll just take this opportunity to have a good chat with him."

Watching Zhu Liesheng enter the room, Jian Zhengrong looked at Jian Zhengxue: "You guessed right."

Jian Zhengxue said: "Unless Zhu Liesheng is a fool, he wouldn't fail to use such a close relationship."

Jian Zhengrong suddenly said: "Do you think my Big Sister and Big Brother are fools?"

Jian Zhengxue raised his head to look at the sunset in the western sky: "The weather is not bad today."

Jian Zhengrong's mouth twitched: "It's too cold outside, I'm going inside."

Jian Zhengxue watched Jian Zhengrong's back and grinned silently.

In the kitchen, Jian Yue had eaten enough and pulled Jian Qiu: "Sister, I have something to ask you, come out for a second."

But as soon as the two came out, they saw Zhou Andong and Zhu Liesheng chatting about something with full smiles.

"What's going on today? Weird things are happening one after another."

Jian Yue muttered, then hugged Jian Qiu's arm and asked in a low voice.

"My brother-in-law, asked Grandpa to go to Jiangzhou, what exactly is it for?"

Jian Qiu said helplessly: "Why is your curiosity so heavy?"

Jian Yue giggled: "If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say."

Jian Qiu rolled her eyes at her: "There's nothing inconvenient. Asking Grandpa to go to Jiangzhou is for publicity."
