Chapter 2824: Weird Uncle

~7 min read 1,310 words

Gu Minglan was in an excellent mood, shoving the card back into Zhou Andong's hand: "Fine, Mom doesn't need money. When Mom really runs out of money to spend, then you can ask us for some."

Zhou Andong had no choice, so he shoved the card at Seeing Jian Qiu: "Wife, in a couple days I'm going to Qiong Province. You keep Mom company shopping, buy her two outfits and some jewelry or whatever."

"Okay!" Seeing Jian Qiu tucked the card away, stood up, and said: "Aunt Li, we're leaving, going to eat."

Nanny Aunt Li said: "Little Yu Mao is still sleeping. You guys go eat, and when you come back just bring me something random to eat."

"That works too!" Seeing Jian Qiu said: "I'll have the restaurant send the food over to you."

Su Su had been sitting nicely beside them watching cartoons. Gu Minglan picked up the little girl: "Su Su, hungry or not, come eat with Grandma."

Su Su patted her own little belly: "Full!"

Seeing Jian Qiu picked up Su Su: "I brought a big bag of snacks for her. On the plane, her mouth hasn't stopped moving."

The family came out of the room. Zhou Andong raised his hand and knocked on the opposite door: "We're leaving, time to eat."

Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo came out. Originally, Li Ling had booked two rooms for them, but Zhang Zuo this idiot didn't know what illness he'd caught, insisting on sharing a room with Tang Lin.

"Damn it!" Zhang Zuo shouted: "If we don't go eat now, you'll have to collect my corpse and prepare a memorial service."

As soon as this guy finished speaking, he saw Gu Minglan standing not far away, froze for a moment, then quickly walked over and said formally: "Aunt Gu!"

Tang Lin also walked over: "Aunt Gu!"

Gu Minglan smiled and nodded: "You guys also came to Yangcheng, is there something going on?"

"Nothing major." Zhang Zuo said smugly: "We acquired a pharmaceutical company, came to check it out, preparing to take over."

Gu Minglan understood, but since she didn't understand investment matters, she didn't ask further.

At this moment, Wang Wentian, Yu Zhan, Lian Kai, and Shen Weiming came out from the two rooms beside them.

Zhou Andong ignored Zhang Zuo this idiot, saying: "Let's go, let's eat."

"Su Su!" Zhang Zuo followed behind Seeing Jian Qiu, making faces at Su Su: "Come here, let Great Zuo Uncle admire you."

"No!" Su Su struggled hard, clinging to her mother's neck, burying her little head in her mother's shoulder, very afraid that this weird Uncle Zhang Zuo would snatch her away.

"Smack!" Zhou Andong kicked Zhang Zuo in the butt: "No manners at all, look how you scared my daughter."

Zhang Zuo rubbed his butt, glaring resentfully at Zhou Andong, then said aggrievedly: "Seeing Jian Qiu, can't you control your man? He's always grabbing at me for no reason, totally out of line."

Seeing Jian Qiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, when the day comes that he beats you to death, I'll definitely discipline him properly."

"..."

Zhang Zuo muttered: "Really not one family, not entering one family's door."

"What did you say?" Seeing Jian Qiu glanced at Zhang Zuo with a smiling, narrowed-eye look.

"Didn't say anything." Zhang Zuo reflexively said: "I was just saying, thank you, ma'am."

Tang Lin watched the liveliness from the side, very amused: "Elder Brother Dong, when are we going to take over the pharmaceutical company?"

"Not urgent!" Zhou Andong said: "I need to first understand the specific situation. We either do nothing, but if we act, we must suppress them, not let them splash around."

"Good!" Tang Lin said energetically: "You say when to act, we act then. You say how to strike, we strike that way."

As they spoke, they arrived at the elevator entrance, where Zheng Xue was waiting for them.

Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo saw Zheng Xue, and again formally said: "Uncle Zheng!"

Because Gu Minglan had been attending to her daughter during the postpartum month, Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo often ran over to mooch meals, naturally knowing these two guys, but Zheng Xue had never seen the two before.

Seeing Jian Qiu introduced: "Dad, this is Tang Lin, grandson of National Security Man Laoyezi Tang. This idiot is Zhang Zuo, grandson of General Staff Man Laoyezi."

Zheng Xue understood, Gu Minglan had mentioned Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo to him before, or these two kids followed their son-in-law in business, set up some "your word is law" property management company, bought a large amount of real estate.

Zheng Xue smiled and said: "I know you guys, you're both quite good."

Zhou Andong said: "The elevator is here."

A group of people took the elevator to the eighth floor. Li Ling was waiting at the restaurant entrance, saw Zhou Andong come over, and hurriedly stepped forward a few steps.

"Chairman!"

Zhou Andong asked: "Is everything arranged?"

Li Ling said: "Everything is arranged, dishes are already being served."

As General Manager of Yuxi Real Estate Guangdong Province Branch, Li Ling was familiar with Guangdong's provincial leadership, often interacting with them.

Because it's a city-wide complex, the provincial leaders had also met her before, the retired deputy leader she also knew, but the newly appointed deputy leader she hadn't met, so she didn't recognize Zheng Xue, and Zhou Andong also hadn't introduced her to him.

The group entered the restaurant. Wang Wentian's group's work meals were arranged at the outdoor scattered tables: four dishes, one soup, plus staple food and four bottles of beer.

Seeing Jian Qiu called out: "Li Ling!"

Li Ling responded: "Director Jian, what's the matter?"

Seeing Jian Qiu said: "Arrange four dishes to be sent to the nanny's room."

"Okay!" Li Ling brought Zhou Andong to the private room, dishes had already been served in abundance, half a table was set, and servers were still serving dishes.

Gu Minglan said: "There are still a few dishes not served, don't serve them, just us few people, we can't finish."

Li Ling replied: "The portions at Guangdong Province Hotel are small, so I arranged twelve dishes, plus three more."

"Then serve them all." Zhou Andong asked Li Ling: "Have you eaten? If not, sit down and eat together."

"I've already eaten." Li Ling said: "I'm going to arrange four dishes to be sent to the nanny's room."

"Go ahead!" Zhou Andong waved his hand: "Dad, Mom, let's eat."

During the meal, Zhou Andong and Zheng Xue only chatted about family matters, didn't discuss anything else.

After finishing the meal, Zheng Xue and Gu Minglan also didn't linger, took Su Su away, letting them rest early.

The next morning past eight o'clock, Zhou Andong was awakened by knocking on the door, he opened his eyes, moved his wife's arm and leg that were draped over him.

Seeing Jian Qiu blinked open her eyes sleepily, dissatisfiedly said: "Who is it, knocking so early?"

"Should be Zhao Liangping!" Zhou Andong yawned while putting on clothes: "You sleep a bit longer."

"Not sleeping!" Seeing Jian Qiu also got up and put on clothes.

Zhou Andong came out of the bedroom, opened the living room curtains, and then went to open the door. Sure enough, it was Zhao Liangping, but Wang Wentian and the others were guarding the doorway and did not let Zhao Liangping continue knocking.

"I say, Zhou Dong!" Zhao Liangping said, quite dissatisfied: "You told me to come find you at nine o'clock, and I just knocked a few times on the door when your people blocked my way, staring at me like I'm a thief. Don't you owe me an explanation?"

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "It's my fault, my fault. I didn't give them instructions last night, so you came to see me this morning."
