Chapter 976: A Blessing in Disguise

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes at them, looking at Zhou Anlei's pathetic state and getting angry, kicking him in the butt again.

"When you were a child, if you had suffered a little bit and insisted on practicing with Grandpa, you wouldn't have had your leg broken."

"Enough!" Seeing Jian Qiu pulled Zhou Andong, "Open a room, wash up first. You have about the same build as him, take a set of your clothes for him to wear, then go out to get his hair cut and buy two sets of clothes."

She had met Zhou Anlei twice, but never expected that the third time she met this second cousin-in-law, it would be in such a situation. Thinking about it made her want to laugh.

But then she thought, his leg had been broken, so laughing didn't seem very appropriate, so she held it back.

"I'll go ask if there are any rooms left on the 28th floor." Zhou Andong walked toward the front desk.

The young lady at the front desk saw Zhou Andong walking over, hurriedly pulled her collar, tidied up her neckline, and said with very full enthusiasm.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, do you need any help?"

"Hello!" Zhou Andong asked: "Are there any rooms left on the 28th floor?"

The young lady at the front desk smiled and said: "The 28th and 29th floors are temporarily closed to the public. If you have a need, you can apply to the event organizer."

"Thank you!" Zhou Andong thanked her, turned around and went back, and kicked Zhou Anlei in the butt again: "Follow me!"

Watching Zhou Andong leave without any reluctance, the young lady at the front desk sighed in disappointment, touching her face.

"Am I not pretty?"

Another young lady laughed: "You're being infatuated again. Didn't you see the woman beside Mr. Zhou?"

"I saw her!" The young lady at the front desk raised her head proudly, "So what? I'm not as pretty as her, but what man doesn't like to cheat? If Mr. Zhou takes a fancy to me, I won't have to stand here every day and look at people's faces."

"Forget it!" The other young lady sneered: "Even if Mr. Zhou cheats, he wouldn't take a fancy to us."

If Zhou Andong heard their chat, he would definitely sigh that Yangcheng was worthy of being the forefront of reform and opening up, as the little girls were so open.

Going up to the 28th floor, Zhou Andong saw Cao Li standing at the door of the room. She estimated that she had knocked on the door and got no response, knowing they hadn't returned, so she was standing at the door waiting.

"Chairman Zhou, Director Jian, Factory Manager Wu, President Zhang, the banquet will start in half an hour, I'll take you to the venue."

Cao Li said, but her eyes looked at Zhou Anlei, muttering in her heart, how did they pick up a beggar after going out for a trip?

"Ms. Cao, are there any rooms left on this floor?" Zhou Andong pointed at Zhou Anlei, "This is my cousin. He came to Yangcheng over a year ago, something happened, so he became like this. I happened to run into him today, so I brought him back."

"Yes!" Cao Li realized, and casually took out a room card from her bag, "2831 is empty."

Zhou Andong took the room card and kicked Zhou Anlei again: "Go!"

"I'll go find him some clothes." Seeing Jian Qiu opened the room door, "Ms. Cao, come in and stay for a while."

"Okay!" Cao Li also knew that they couldn't go to the banquet hall for a while.

Zhang Shenghui said: "We'll go back to our rooms to rest, call us when you leave."

In room 2831, Zhou Andong opened the door: "Hurry up and go take a shower, we'll go eat in a while."

Kicked by Zhou Andong all the way, if it were before, he would have jumped up and scolded.

Now, this guy had no temper at all. Zhou Andong kicked him, and he just grinned.

It was estimated that in this year or so, the beating of society had taught him how to be a person.

This was also a luxury suite. Zhou Andong closed the bathroom door, came to the living room, picked up the remote control to turn on the TV, and lit a cigarette.

At this time, Seeing Jian Qiu brought the clothes in and threw them on the sofa: "Wear these first, we'll take him to get a haircut and buy clothes after dinner."

Seeing Jian Qiu didn't stay here either, because Cao Li was still in her room, and she couldn't leave her alone.

After showering for twenty minutes, Zhou Anlei walked out, wiping his body with a bath towel.

Zhou Andong pointed at the clothes on the sofa: "Put them on, the underwear is all new."

Zhou Anlei put on the clothes silently, wanting to say something, but it seemed he couldn't say it.

"Don't say anything. No matter how we fight at home, no matter how we don't get along, we must never be bullied by outsiders."

Zhou Andong pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and stood up to pat Zhou Anlei on the shoulder.

"Just now, weren't you also afraid of me suffering a loss?"

Zhou Anlei smiled, his eyes suddenly red, and he turned around.

"I'm hungry, let's go eat."

"Let's go!"

Zhou Andong looked at Zhou Anlei's long hair that reached his waist and shook his head helplessly.

Fortunately, there were many literary youths in this era, and many who played music, all of whom liked to keep long hair.

Otherwise, with Zhou Anlei's image, Zhou Andong didn't know if he would have the courage to walk with this idiot.

"After I'm done with things here, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup and see if your leg can be treated."

"No!" Zhou Anlei shook his head: "Just like this, it's not too serious, and it can remind me at all times that besides family, no one in this world can tolerate me."

Zhou Andong tilted his head and glanced at Zhou Anlei, suddenly smiling: "It seems that the experience of this year or so really made you understand a lot. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

Passing by Wu Hongkang and Zhang Shenghui's room, Zhou Andong raised his fist and knocked heavily twice.

"Can't you be lighter? Is that how you knock on a door?"

Zhang Shenghui's dissatisfied shout came from inside. He knew it was Zhou Andong without asking, because no one else would do such a thing.

Zhou Andong knocked on his own door again: "Let's go!"

Soon, Zhang Shenghui, Wu Hongkang, Seeing Jian Qiu, and Cao Li came out.

Zhang Shenghui sized up Zhou Anlei and said with a smile: "Give me back the one yuan."

Zhou Anlei was stunned, then his face turned red.

"I... I don't have money now."

"If you don't have money, ask Zhou Andong for it." Zhang Shenghui raised his chin at Zhou Andong provocatively: "Are you paying it back or not?"

"Can you have some shame?" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "In a while, when we get to the banquet hall, I'll find someone to reason. The dignified head of Qin Chi gave out one yuan and regretted it, actually wanting it back."

"You're ruthless." Zhang Shenghui gritted his teeth.

Although this was a joke, there were many people, and it could spread and get distorted. If that happened, he would be the one suffering.

And he absolutely believed that if he said anything else, Zhou Andong would definitely go around promoting it.

Wu Hongkang shook his head helplessly, muttering in a low voice: "Why do you provoke him?"

A group of people arrived at the second-floor banquet hall. Because it was a gathering of entrepreneurs from both sides of the strait, this banquet adopted a combination of Chinese and Western styles.

In the huge banquet hall, a long row of tables was set up on both sides, with not only Western dishes like steak, roast meat, lobster, abalone, cake, and hamburgers, but also many Chinese stir-fried dishes, including all eight major cuisines.

There were quite a few people inside, because it wasn't just entrepreneurs attending the forum, but also accompanying staff, or family members who had come along for tourism.

"Chairman Zhou!"

As soon as Zhou Andong entered, he attracted the attention of many people inside, and then he heard someone shouting.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Lian Xiangzhi holding a glass of red wine, walking over with a full smile.
