~7 min read 1,291 words

"Plotting against me?" Gu Bing looked bewildered: "Whatever you have on you, I have on me; what are you plotting against me for?"

After thinking for a while, watching Zhou Andong's figure getting smaller and smaller, this guy suddenly gave a start, then cursed angrily and chased after him with quick steps.

"Zhou Andong, you calf, you're scolding me again."

Hearing the footsteps and cursing chasing from behind, Zhou Andong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ha!"

Gu Bing, who had caught up, looked at Zhou Andong's smiling appearance and was so angry he gritted his teeth.

"Zhou Andong, believe it or not, I'll beat you until you're looking for your teeth all over the floor?"

Zhou Andong still had his hands behind his back, shook his head, and said: "I don't believe it!"

Gu Bing raised his fist, glaring: "Do you really think I don't dare to hit you?"

"You just don't dare to hit me."

Zhou Andong stopped, turned around to look at Gu Bing, his tone very calm, but the sense of ignoring Gu Bing was very strong.

"..."

Gu Bing glared, raising his fist and waving it repeatedly, but he just didn't dare to touch Zhou Andong, because he had great self-awareness—he really couldn't beat him.

Just then, a smile appeared on this guy's face, and he shouted at someone behind Zhou Andong.

"Aunt, Uncle, why are you here?"

Zhou Andong sneered: "Chairman Gu, oh Chairman Gu, you're such a big person, yet you call your parents to scare me when you have nothing better to do. In this world, besides Qiuqiu who can manage me, your aunt and uncle can't either."

Gu Bing laughed "hehehe": "Aunt, Uncle, you heard that, right? This is your good son-in-law; he doesn't take you seriously at all."

"Isn't that nonsense? Of course, I wouldn't take my father-in-law and mother-in-law seriously."

Zhou Andong's eyes drifted, and then he hummed.

"That's because they are to be kept in one's heart, understand? After you marry Wu Huilin, don't always be so sloppy and put on such airs about your status; you must be more filial to your father-in-law and mother-in-law. Only then can the family be harmonious, and only when the family is harmonious can everything flourish."

"..."

Gu Bing stared with round eyes; he didn't even know what to say.

How could he react so quickly? He had just put the "small shoes" on him, and this dog thing had already taken them off.

"Brother-in-law, what I said is sincere; you must not take it lightly."

Zhou Andong patted Gu Bing on the shoulder, very earnestly, and then turned around, only to freeze there.

"Dad, Mom, you really came." Then he turned his head and looked at Gu Bing again: "Look at you, you're always lying and farting in front of me; otherwise, how could I not believe what you say?"

"..."

Gu Bing was almost driven to depression, looking at the little glares from Jian Zhengxue and Gu Minglan, feeling as wronged as could be.

"Dad, Mom!" Zhou Andong said with a little bit of complaint: "When you came, why didn't you tell me in advance so I could prepare?"

Gu Minglan had been smiling as she looked at this "son-in-law of a dragon" before her. Whether Zhou Andong kept them in his heart or in his eyes, she didn't care.

And what satisfied her most was Zhou Andong's sentence: "In this world, only Qiuqiu can manage me."

Of course, Jian Zhengxue, as the father-in-law, was also very satisfied with this sentence.

"We were returning to the capital, and it just so happened that the music festival you organized is opening today, so we stopped to take a look and notified you."

Zhou Andong's heart stirred: "Are you going to the south?"

"Yes!" Jian Zhengxue nodded: "The work here has all been handed over, and I'll report for duty in Guangdong Province next Monday."

Zhou Andong asked: "How long can you stay here?"

Gu Minglan asked: "Do you have something?"

"Nothing major." Zhou Andong smiled: "You should have heard about my investments in Dongguan, and some of the minor things that happened, right?"

Gu Minglan said with a smile: "Yes, your Fourth Aunt told me everything."

"There is one more thing that my Fourth Uncle doesn't know." Zhou Andong looked at Gu Minglan, then looked at Jian Zhengxue: "This matter isn't big, but I think if it's handled well, my father can firmly stand his ground in Guangdong Province."

Hearing this, Jian Zhengxue's eyes lit up. Although his son-in-law is a businessman, he had no doubts about his political wisdom; he was not even inferior to those old foxes at the top.

"Oh?" Jian Zhengxue said without a moment's hesitation: "Then I won't leave tonight."

"Good!" Zhou Andong looked at his watch: "Dad, there's still over an hour before the music festival opens; would you like to go up and say a few words? After all, you've worked in Liaoning Province for many years; just take this opportunity to say goodbye to the people of the whole province."

Jian Zhengxue waved his hand: "Forget it, I've already completed the work handover and am no longer a provincial leader. It's inappropriate to go up and speak now; let's leave this opportunity to your municipal leaders; I won't overstep my bounds."

"As an old leader, before leaving, isn't it appropriate to say a few words for the development of Jiangzhou and send a blessing?"

Zhou Andong grumbled, but he also knew that since Jian Zhengxue had refused, nothing he said would be of any use.

"I'll take you to the tent to rest."

Gu Minglan refused: "Your dad and I will just stroll around; you don't need to worry about us. We'll go to the brewery to find you later."

"For these few days, I've been staying at the Municipal Committee Guesthouse; I'll go back at five tonight, the room is 308!"

"Got it!" Gu Minglan nodded: "You go get busy."

"Friends on the scene, hello everyone, I am Huang Jinyu, host for the Yugong Group Television Station. The music festival will open in one hour and sixteen minutes. Before the opening, at the request of the music festival organizers, I am here to announce one thing..."

Zhou Andong was just about to leave when he heard Huang Jinyu's voice coming from the speakers, and then he thought of Brother Dao.

He was very curious whether Brother Dao would agree to go up and sing, and if he agreed, what song would he sing?

He had watched two exclusive interviews with Brother Dao, where the host asked Brother Dao if the rumors that he had created over three thousand songs between 1991 and 1995 were true. Brother Dao just smiled and didn't answer directly, but he didn't deny it either.

Therefore, Zhou Andong even went online to search for any songs Brother Dao sang during that time. In the end, he sighed with regret—he couldn't find any.

"Dad, Mom, let me accompany you for a walk; there are too many people, and if something happens, I won't be able to answer to Qiuqiu."

When Zhou Andong said this, he smiled at the few people standing not far away.

Besides Comrade Jian's secretary and driver, Zhou Andong hadn't seen the others, but they should be security guards.

After all, when a ministerial-level leader travels, security measures must be done well, especially in this era.

Gu Minglan looked at Zhou Andong suspiciously; she didn't know what this kid was trying to do again.

"Aren't you busy?"

Zhou Andong said righteously: "Busy, but no matter how busy I am, and no matter how important the matter is, nothing is more important than accompanying Dad and Mom."
