Chapter 904: Young Master Zhou Su

Su Yang also couldn't just say he was leaving and walk out, so he glanced at the parents present.

Second Uncle smiled and said: "Others have already made their moves, so we have to follow up, cannot be timid. Earlier we did some sparring; it's best to lay out any problems on the table and speak them clearly; if we can't speak them clearly, then we should prepare according to the unclear parts."

Besides, you people of this generation have your own circle; Ruohan's personality has always disliked being in this, and Zhou Tong has long been in the military.

Zhou Kai is still young, so he doesn't really gain any advantage in this circle. Moreover, Su Yang will need to put down roots in this circle in the future; there are some people we should still get to know. Anyway, this is something that will happen sooner or later, so we might as well go ahead. It's time for you all to go together, so they know our family also has successors.

This is typical military style: although they don't take the initiative to attack, when others make a move they will definitely meet it head-on.

Su Yang said: "Then we'll listen to Second Uncle and go around for a bit."

As they were about to leave, Second Uncle patted Su Yang's shoulders twice and said: "These people in this circle have high eyes but low ability, not much skill but big talk, they like to intimidate people at the drop of a hat; you need to show your courage and boldness."

If someone dares to break the rules and trip you up, just tell me and I'll deal with them. Nowadays some kids are unreasonable, they often rely on the power of their parents behind them. I also haven't exercised my muscles and bones in a long time.

Su Yang thought: "What's going on? This Second Uncle doesn't take the old master's words to heart; just now the old master said to keep a low profile, to be patient."

Especially at this critical moment, how come when it comes to you it turns into needing to make a showy move, to boost your prestige in the circle?

However, since Second Uncle said that, he could only say: "Thank you, Second Uncle; with your words, I feel much more at ease."

After coming out of the courtyard, Su Yang said to Zhou Ruohan: "Otherwise you just don't go; that kind of place is just for smoking, drinking, and bragging—none of those suit you."

Zhou Ruohan said: "What are you thinking? Do you know Fang Jingwen is also going? So you deliberately won't let me go, but I insist on going."

Zhou Tong laughed loudly beside them: "Sis, you are definitely going; defend your home turf."

Besides, you've always been extremely low-key before; if you don't go this time, you probably won't have a chance for another year or two. In these two years, those people in the circle will soon forget you. It's time to give them a longer memory, especially that Zhang Jiangbo—frankly, this kid has been jumping around quite happily lately.

Zhou Kai remained silent as ever, following behind.

Zhou Ruohan said: "Zhou Kai, is there something on your mind? Tell me and see if sis can help you. Could it be that, like your second brother, you have a goddess living in your heart?"

Zhou Kai forced out a faint smile and said: "How could that be? How could I compare to my second brother? I'm just a low-level civil servant; my daily work is just work—where would I meet other girls?" Then he added, "I'll go start the car."

After Zhou Kai left, Zhou Ruohan said: "Does Zhou Kai have something on his mind? Or never mind, let's not talk about it for now, we'll discuss later. And speaking of Second Uncle's character, didn't the old master tell us to stay low-key? What does he mean by this?"

Zhou Ruohan also said: "Then you just don't understand Second Uncle; he used to be quite flamboyant, though these past few years he's restrained himself a lot. In places like clubs where they compete for supremacy, actually behind the scenes it also highlights the rise and fall of a family's strength."

But I don't really like going to such places, and Zhou Tong isn't very good with words; if there's a disagreement he could easily offend a lot of people, so this time you going is essentially representing our family completely.

Then she lowered her voice and said: "I think the reason Zhou Kai isn't happy is actually related to this as well. Grandfather placed your position too high; I say, after all I'm a girl, the family won't ultimately place all its hopes on me."

So he had always thought that perhaps the family would in the future heavily cultivate him. But the situation now is laid out here; grandfather today letting you sit in that position shows that he wants to establish you as the core of the third generation.

Of course this is only a preliminary determination; specifics still depend on later performance, so you also shouldn't be arrogant.

Zhou Tong has long been in the military, and he has also expressed his attitude, making a transfer to a local post impossible. Zhou Kai is currently a deputy section chief at a state-owned enterprise, two years younger than you; looking at it, his advantages are quite ample.

Before today, he had always been full of ambition; according to his age, reaching a bureau-level post by thirty is certain, and then he would directly transfer to a local post. You suddenly came to our family, snatching away the limelight that should have been his, so naturally he's unhappy.

However, it's fine; I think later he'll understand—he's now like a flower grown in a greenhouse, delicate, always feeling precious, never having experienced wind and rain outside, he's come out full of arrogance but with no ability to withstand blows, and his self-esteem is also extremely strong. I suddenly feel that grandfather doing this publicly tonight is probably also meant to motivate his younger brother's growth.

Su Yang said: "Alright, a kid is just that; slowly he'll realize that if he's outstanding enough, family resources will definitely tilt toward him."

He muttered to himself: "It seems like I'm trying to take advantage of your family, but this is all your choice."

But he didn't say anything out loud; someone like him, a grassroots entrant into such a wealthy family, must inevitably achieve results that ordinary people find hard to achieve, in order to gain everyone's recognition.

By the time Su Yang and his group arrived at the club, the vast majority of people were already present.

Today the club has been decked out with New Year decorations—various New Year paintings, couplets, big red lanterns everywhere; even the music playing in the hall is 'New Spring Overture' and 'Golden Snake Crazy Dance'. Even the usual foreign liquor has been cleared out; each booth now has Moutai and Wuliangye, plus a large plate of dumplings. This is completely unlike the usual fashionable, avant-garde style; it's basically been turned into an old-fashioned tavern with an ancient style.

Although they had just entered, they heard someone inside shout: 'Young Master Zhou Su has arrived!'

After hearing that voice, Su Yang was quite surprised and glanced left and right, wondering if others had followed them in.

He looked left and right, but there was nobody at all. And who is this Young Master Zhou Su?

The club has this habit: when someone arrives, their DJ shouts loudly to give full pomp. But for people like them, if they had confirmed Zhou Tong as the core, they should shout 'Young Master Zhou'; if they regarded him as the core, they shouldn't be shouting 'Young Master Su'? Where did this 'Young Master Zhou Su' come from—what's going on?

Moreover, given these people's common sense, it's impossible for them not to know his situation, and they couldn't possibly regard Zhou Tong or Zhou Kai as the core of their group. To be frank, even if he weren't there, just with these Zhou family siblings coming, the absolute core would be Zhou Ruohan.

However, at this moment Zhou Ruohan's face, which had been smiling like a flower, was already covered with dark clouds.
