return of the king

When Zhou Lingsheng walked into the office building, everyone who passed by looked at him with weird eyes. Even when he came to the office, his subordinates also looked at him with this kind of eyes.

At first he thought it was a coincidence, but when so many coincidences came together, no matter how much he comforted himself, he could see that something was wrong with them.

Zhou Lingsheng walked into the office first, and as soon as he walked in, everyone outside gathered together and whispered.

He quietly opened the door of the office, through which he could only hear a few vague words.

Although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, from those words, he could hear that they were indeed discussing his affairs, otherwise his name would not pop up at every turn.

Zhou Lingsheng opened the door loudly on purpose to let people outside know that he had come out.

"What are you talking about?!" Angrily scanning everyone in front of him, Zhou Lingsheng asked seriously.

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

It was better not to answer and anger Zhou Lingsheng than to speak out.

"You, come in!"

Seeing that no one answered his question, Zhou Lingsheng pointed to his female secretary and asked her to follow him into the office.

Seeing Zhou Lingsheng and the secretary go in, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After escaping a difficult situation, they didn't know the lesson, so they continued to talk about what they just said.

"It's not just about work. I also heard that Boss Zhou's private life is very chaotic. Beating his wife at home is next to nothing. I heard that he has more than a dozen lovers outside!"

"I've also heard about this incident. It seems that he also gave each lover a lot of expensive gifts, but he is the eldest grandson of the founder of the Zhou Group, so he will not pay attention to such a small amount of money."

"Having said that, the Zhou family is not his after all, otherwise he wouldn't need to work here!"

……

Everyone talked non-stop, it was very lively outside, but the atmosphere in Zhou Lingsheng's office was extremely gloomy.

"Hurry up and tell me what you were talking about just now!"

The female secretary timidly shook her petite body, and stammered, "I, we...we were just, just joking, joking."

"A joke? I heard you say the word 'Boss Zhou' just now, are you kidding me!" Zhou Lingsheng angrily reprimanded.

"No, no, no, how dare we tell your jokes, absolutely not!" The female secretary immediately shook her head.

They were not joking about Zhou Lingsheng, they were just gossip about him.

"Then why don't you tell me what you were talking about just now!"

Facing Zhou Lingsheng's intense pressure, the female secretary planned to surrender.

"Yes Yes……"

"Ring Ling Ling ~"

Before the female secretary could say what they were talking about, the ringing of the phone interrupted her.

Zhou Lingsheng put his hand on the phone and said, "Wait, wait until I finish listening to the phone and explain clearly!"

After speaking, he picked up the phone.

"Hi, I'm Zhou Lingsheng."

"Lingsheng, have you heard?" the other party asked anxiously.

When Zhou Lingsheng heard that it was his boss's voice, he immediately became very respectful: "Hello, what should I hear?"

"Now the political circles are spreading your 'rumors', saying that you are corrupt and accepting bribes, that you have a lover, that you beat your wife, that you have violent tendencies..."

Said it was a rumor, but whether it was a rumor or not, they knew it well.

"What?!" Zhou Lingsheng was shocked.

Corruption and bribery are very serious to them, and they usually don't say these four words, but now his boss said it to him, which shows how serious this matter is.

"Lingsheng, the people above seem to have started to pay attention to this matter. I also heard that they have already started an investigation. Before the rumors are confirmed, you should quickly find a way to solve this matter. Your Zhou family has money and connections , should be able to solve it.”

If Zhou Lingsheng hadn't been charged a lot of money, and he was afraid that he would be dragged into the water after an accident, he didn't want to contact Zhou Lingsheng at all at this time.

"I see." Zhou Lingsheng turned pale with fright.

"Lingsheng, there's only so much I can help, you can do it yourself in the future." The person on the other end of the phone hurriedly distanced himself from Zhou Lingsheng.

Zhou Ling moved his mouth vividly, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say it, there was only a "beep" sound of hanging up on the phone.

"Tell me, have you heard any rumors?" Zhou Lingsheng insisted on calling these things rumors.

Finding that he seemed to know something, the female secretary didn't dare to hide it anymore.

"It's because I heard a lot of rumors that you..." The female secretary spoke out all the rumors she had heard.

Who knows whether these things are true, who knows whether Zhou Lingsheng will really step down, who knows whether Zhou Lingsheng will be imprisoned, anyway, Zhou Lingsheng is still in his position, and with the support of Zhou's big consortium, she has no courage lie to him.

Hearing the female secretary list his crimes one by one, Zhou Lingsheng's face was ashen, without any color at all.

"Is that what you said just now?"

"...Yes." After a moment of hesitation, the female secretary answered honestly.

"Ask for leave for me, I'll go out for a while."

Zhou Lingsheng left immediately after dropping a word.

He said he was asking for leave, but he was actually skipping work. The number of days he could ask for leave had already been used up.

After leaving the office building, Zhou Lingsheng didn't go home, he drove out of Zhou's mansion directly.

As far as he knew, Zhou Yingli, who had wanted to come back for a long time, left the country on the day he had a falling out with his wife. Since then, Yin Li and Zhou Lixi have never returned to Zhou's house, and now there is only the old man in Zhou's house.

Only the old man will help him. If he wants to use the money and contacts of the Zhou family, as long as the old man speaks, neither Zhou Yingli nor Zhou Lixi will refuse.

The car Zhou Lingsheng drove was the one he drove home last time, and the servant recognized him, so he didn't open the door for him.

"Little master Lingsheng, the old man is still angry now. It still counts if he said he wouldn't let you in. We can't let you in."

The servant explained to Zhou Lingsheng through the big iron gate.

What they said this time was similar to what Zhou Lingsheng said when he left, but after a few days of reflection, their tone of speaking to Zhou Lingsheng has returned to their original respectful tone.

"I have something urgent to see Grandpa, right now!" Zhou Lingsheng shouted.

"If not, let's talk to the old man and ask him."

He looked nervous and panicked. The servant realized that what he was going to say might be really important, so he decided to respond to the old man.

"Go!" This was the only way, and Zhou Lingsheng could only agree.

When he came back, he called home and called Zhou Mingren's cell phone many times. The servant answered the phone at home, but Zhou Mingren refused to listen to his calls.

He called Zhou Mingren's cell phone, but Zhou Mingren didn't answer it, and later turned off the phone.

What he wants to say cannot be known to others, and he cannot be told. He can only tell Zhou Mingren face-to-face.

The servant who left the message came back not long after.

"The old man said that the Zhou family doesn't have a grandson like you, so let... Let the little master Lingsheng get out of here quickly." This sentence has been embellished by the servant, Zhou Mingren said that Zhou Lingsheng should get out of here.

"Open the door quickly, I really have something urgent to tell Grandpa. If you don't let me in, be careful that I won't be polite to you!" Zhou Lingsheng threatened.

At this time, he still looked proud.

A servant ran out from inside, and the maids standing at the door whispered: "Master, let us do our own business and leave Master Lingsheng alone! The master said, if we still have time to stay here and not do things, we should leave here."

Hearing what she said, all the maids left to go about their own affairs.

Zhou Lingsheng thought that his words had worked, that they had reported to Zhou Mingren.But he found that the maids scattered to different places, and only when the maids who had just come out entered the house, and they had no intention of opening the door for him, did he realize that he was being ignored.

"I let you open the door!!" Zhou Lingsheng grabbed the big iron door with both hands and shook it vigorously.

The big iron gate was very solid, no matter how hard he tried it still wouldn't budge.

After kicking a few times on the big iron gate, Zhou Lingsheng not only did not vent his anger, but became even more angry.

"Open the door, open the door!"

He kept yelling, but the maid was working nearby and couldn't hear him.

Not long after, Zhou Lingsheng calmed down a little, and he realized one thing: the people who came out just now should have brought the old man's order to come out, and the maids would disperse, which means that the old man may be watching the situation at the door somewhere .

Zhou Lingsheng looked at the balconies, windows and French windows of the house, and saw the curtains moving in the closed windows of a certain room, he confirmed this idea.

"Grandpa, I really have something to tell you, let me in! Grandpa..." He yelled in the direction of the window.

After that, Zhou Lingsheng yelled at the door for an hour, his mouth became dry and his throat became hoarse.

The old man has always loved him, but now he is so ruthless to ignore him, it can be seen that the old man is really angry.

"Ring, ring, ring~" The phone rang suddenly, startling Zhou Lingsheng.

He thought it was Zhou Mingren calling him, so he smiled happily and took out his mobile phone happily, but was disappointed to find that the person calling was a female secretary.

"what's up?"

The female secretary said in a panic: "Boss Zhou, someone is looking for you today. It seems that someone sent by the superior wants to talk to you. I told them that you have an urgent matter and asked for a day off. They have already left, but they It means that I will come to 'visit' you again tomorrow."

"What?!" Zhou Lingsheng was stunned.

The one above him just said this today, and those people came. Could it be that they heard about these things earlier?

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Lingsheng, who finally calmed down, became at a loss again.

"Grandpa, I beg you, let me in and let me talk to you, please?!" Zhou Lingsheng was about to cry.

If it's too late, he'll go to jail.

After a while, no one paid any attention to him, Zhou Lingsheng realized that his performance was not enough.

He thought for a while, gritted his teeth and knelt down outside the big iron gate.

"Grandpa, I know you are still angry. I can kneel until you are not angry. But I really have something urgent to tell you. It is related to my official career and the reputation of the Zhou family. Listen to me first. In the future, you How do you punish me, I promise not to escape!"
