When Careeraholic Meets Workaholic

Lying on the hospital bed, He Yu blinked. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she thought of was nothing but the last two lines of words that appeared in front of her eyes.

[Original Work: Yin Shang] and [Screenwriter: Chu Xun].

Those that forsaken him joined hands with those that he forsaken.

He reached a new level that he could not reach.

And Chu Xun and Zhou Yao joined forces... Are these two people together?

He Yu felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. It was not a sour taste, but something more complicated, like the pain caused by a strong regret.

He doesn't want these two people to be together, not that he likes these two people, but spent ten years to prevent these two people from being together, which seems to have become his life goal, something he is used to doing.

At first, he was afraid that Chu Xun would confess his love and take away his place in Zhou Yao's heart. Zhou Yao only needed to have an old classmate of his own by his side.Later, he prevented Chu Xun from going to see Zhou Yao. It seemed that he was worried that Chu Xun would go to Zhou Yao's side, but after thinking about it carefully, he was used to stopping him after all.

Even now, these two people have clearly teamed up, but he still feels unwilling. He doesn't want these two people to be together. On the day when he prevented Chu Xun from confessing his love in college, he hated Zhou Yao's existence so much. Anyone who gets too close.

He Yu looked at the ceiling of the hospital, blinked, then frowned and closed her eyes, exhaling a bad smell.

But now, what ability does he have to stop it?

He couldn't even get close to Zhou Yao ten meters away.

After all, we still need to become stronger as soon as possible, so that we won’t vomit blood just because we hear a little bit of Zhou Yao’s news. Only when we become strong enough, can we stand in front of Zhou Yao and make him realize how much it is to leave him. Huge mistake.

He Yu tried her best to clear her head, thinking about it, and at this time, it is really necessary to change the boat, right?

The strange platform is not acceptable, the relationship between the strange platform and Zhou Yao is very good, I am afraid that I cannot tolerate myself.

As for the big goose... I really have a way to jump over.

As long as you operate well, you will be able to thrive when you reach the big goose!

Thinking of this, He Yu's eyebrows eased, and he lay on his side on the bed, quietly enduring the burning pain in his stomach, listening to the footsteps walking outside, and gradually became quiet.

……

Zhou Yao just hung up Lu Bao's call to announce the good news, and before he put down his phone, a tricky call came.

Diao Dian said on the phone: "Yaoer? What are you doing? Are you free tonight? Come to my house for dinner." After a pause, he said, "My mother came back today, and the first thing she wanted to do when she entered the house was To see you, you'd better come here."

"it is good."

Zhou Yao checked the time, cleared the table and prepared to leave.

It has been three days since the promotional video of the movie "Speaking of God" was broadcast, and the hot discussion on the Internet has not dissipated. These days, Zhou Yao has been answering the phone non-stop, and there are many congratulations, but I still want to know more qoq special effects, and even hope to buy the right to use it immediately.

However, the market value of qoq has not been fully reflected, and the price has not yet passed the review of the Price Bureau, and there is no way to sell the technology for the time being.

As a result, he had a lot of entertainment these days, and he seldom left work as expected.

But it is still rare for a tricky mother to invite her to dinner.

The Zhou family's group company has grown big enough, and has even started to develop into industries. It has invested in many industrial companies, and the company's market value has reached [-] billion.

But such a big company is still only a medium-sized enterprise in front of the certain group of their family. When the Zhou family can receive orders from foreign countries and start earning foreign exchange, that will be a symbol of strength that has developed.

It's a pity that the "ceiling" of real estate is so high. The foreign exchange of civil engineering is earned by the state, which is different from industry.

The so-and-so group of the world's top [-] companies is really powerful, and their products are exported all over the world. After Bai Lian won their global spokesperson, they even gained a lot of international fame.

Zhou Yao was very cautious when visiting Diao's house this time.

Leaving the company early, bought gifts for visiting, went home to wash up, and then rushed to Diao Dian's house before dinner.

This is the second time Zhou Yao came to Diao Dian's house after rebirth.

Probably because of the hostess' return, the atmosphere in the house has taken on a new look, all the men are in high spirits, and even the light in the room is much brighter.

The old man of Diao's family is not in good health, but he also showed his face today. When he saw Zhou Yao, he made a careful distinction, and then shouted: "Boy, here you are."

Zhou Yao and Diao Dian grew up together. The elders in the family watched them tease cats and dogs, and they looked different every day. Even if they hadn't seen each other for many years, they still had feelings.

Zhou Yao vaguely remembered that the old man didn't seem to have survived this winter, and this time he came here, I'm afraid it was the last time.So I squatted on the side of the wheelchair and chatted with the old man for a while.

Waiting for the old man to get tired, Zhou Yao said goodbye in unison, and then saw Ms. Zou Haixing.

Zou Haixing waved to him, took an orange and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Your Grandpa Diao has not been very active recently, and your coming here is the most he has said in this period of time, so you have the patience to chat with him. Much like you learn."

Zhou Yao smiled and said, "I haven't been here for so many years, so what can I praise?"

"It doesn't matter. You know the situation of our home. Too much traffic is eye-catching. Just like this, I can see clearly who is good and who is bad. This time I called you here to talk about your 3D technology. I will watch the promotional video." Yes, this technology is a huge innovation for our TV industry, so I am looking for you to talk to, can you use this technology on ready-made TV programs? For example, the 3D movie now can be processed in post-processing use?"

Zhou Yao shook his head and explained the principle of this technology to Zou Haixing.

After hearing this, Zou Haixing sighed: "Okay, any change needs fire, and now the fire is burning from our Huaguo, which is already a rare opportunity. I had already seized the opportunity, but I became greedy."

However, even though Zou Haixing said so, her ambition to expand her business territory is not small at all. After understanding this technology, she believes that it is necessary to speed up the development of "so-and-so TV streaming media", so that the world can respond more. Quickly use naked-eye 3D technology as a spearhead to develop "XX TV streaming media", and then achieve the effect of selling "XX TV".

In other words, the XX Group should increase investment, allowing Zhou Yao to shoot more programs with naked-eye 3D technology, and use them exclusively on "XX TV".

Next, a certain group will also have an overwhelming advertisement.

But the premise of investment is shares.

It should be mentioned here that naked-eye 3D technology shooting needs the light during shooting as a window, so this technology is divided into two parts: entity and software.

Zou Haixing wants physical shares, even development rights, as his own industry, so he doesn't need to accept Zhou Yao's orders.

Zhou Yao thinks this is okay. The "light" has a high loss and is widely used. It is a big market. Zhou Yao does not have a physical industry, so he certainly cannot eat the entire market. Why not cooperate with the big guys and increase production as soon as possible. Distributing goods, and then forming an oligarch, becoming a pioneer and leader in the industry.

After eating a meal, Zhou Yao's market spread even bigger.

The benefits sacrificed at the beginning will soon be turned into more money, which will flow into his pocket continuously.

at the same time.

With the release of the promotional film and the news that Zhou's Films has mastered naked-eye 3D technology spread, the company's stock and assets appreciated again.

If you have too much money, you can't deposit it in the bank to earn interest, right?

It only takes a few dollars to make two movies a year.

Only by continuously investing and doing bigger business can the company develop and at the same time share the risks.

Then Zhou Yao took some money and went to discuss business with Mr. Zhou Baoquan.

Real estate, if he has money, he wants to join in!

Previously, the Zhou Group bought the shares of Zhou's Films and became the second largest shareholder.

Later, Zhou Yao invested in the development of Zhou Group in Haishi New District, bought a unit building, a total of 90 houses, and waited for the land price to appreciate.

Zhou Yao, who knows the history, knows very well that the houses in Haishi New District will double in size in just two years.

Sit and wait to collect money.

The father and son of the Zhou family really have me in you, and you in me.

Waiting for more than 20 days to celebrate the new year, the old man of the Diao family really did not survive this winter and left.

Zhou Yao's whole family went to send the old man off for the last time. The funeral was grand and everyone who attended the funeral cried very sadly, but the expressions of Diao's family were very calm.

Mr. Diao has been ill for seven years, and he cannot sleep at night because of the pain. However, Diao's family is rich, and the best medical staff and medical equipment are used by Mr. Diao. His life has been hanging for so long. Thin as a skeleton.

Not necessarily a relief.

But in the end Zhou Yao walked out of the body farewell hall, and when Diao's family was left, Zhou Yao heard Diao Dian's cry of collapse.

The Zhou family loves Zhou Yao enough, but the Diao family dotes on Diao Dian to the extreme. The old man especially likes his good grandson.

So the most sad thing about the old man's departure is probably being tricky.

Waiting for the body to be cremated, Zhou Yao accompanied Diao Dian to a place with few people and smoked two cigarettes with him.

Diao Dian said: "I didn't tell Qian Jie, if she knew, she would definitely fly over... I saw her last month, and she said that she didn't have a boyfriend yet, and neither did I, so I tried to be together again... That's it. In a week or so, she said that I am not suitable for her, she said don't let me wait for her, what am I waiting for her, but I have never met the right one..."

As Diao Dian spoke, Zhou Yao remained silent. After hearing him ramble, Bai Lian walked over with three bottles of water from a distance.

The crematorium was crowded with people every day, but even if they saw Bai Lian, no one caught up with them with their mobile phones to take pictures. Bai Lian didn't even wear a peaked cap.

He carried the water and passed through the crowd. Those who could attend the funeral of Diao's family were either rich or noble. Their eyes lingered around Bai Lian's body, but no one spoke.

With a calm mood, Bai Lian's mouth suddenly tightened after seeing Zhou's mother and the man beside her from a distance.

Element Lan sat next to Mr. Zhou Baoquan, the two were talking in a low voice, and when they looked up, they saw Bai Lian.

Element Lan waved: "Bai Lian, come."

Zhou Baoquan glanced at his wife strangely, then at the big star who came to him holding his breath with a nervous expression on his face.

Element Lan introduced to her husband: "Bai Lian, son's friend, you know that, right?"

Zhou Baoquan nodded, his smile was light, not warm, he was like this to most people, especially these young juniors, it was enough to maintain the most basic courtesy.

But Element Lan said again: "This is Uncle Zhou, with a paralyzed face, don't be afraid of him, he doesn't smile naturally, it's not that he has a problem with you."

Bai Lian called out respectfully: "Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Baoquan frowned, noticing that his wife was a bit out of control, but he couldn't say anything, so he nodded and smiled, "Hello."

But Element Lan didn't end the greetings, and beckoned Bai Lian to sit down, looked at the mineral water in his hand and asked knowingly, "Can you take it for Yao'er and the others?"

"Ah."

"Diao Dian feels uncomfortable today. Yao'er is his good friend. I guess I need to spend more time with him, so I will trouble you."

"It's okay, Auntie, it's not tiring to get a few bottles of water."

Element Lan said again: "Your movie will be released in a few days, Yaoer invited us to the premiere, your Uncle Zhou and I are ready, and then we can see your performance on the big screen. "

Bai Lian suddenly became nervous, and her ears turned slightly red: "It's my first filming, and my performance may not be very good. I will work harder in the future."

"Learning is endless, this is normal, but your acting level is already very high. I have been following the third season of Super Computing for three years, and even God said that I have watched it from beginning to end. If you say you can't act, Auntie doesn't believe it." Yes. Besides, if you know how to act, are the Shidi awards you won these years a problem with the jury? You don’t need to be so humble in front of your aunt, she knows you are the best.”

Bai Lian's face turned redder.

The more Mr. Zhou Baoquan listened to him, the more he felt something was wrong.

Is this... a little too close?

Even if this Bai Lian is the son's friend, is the Zhou family's housewife the same as a normal friend's mother?With such a compliment, and speaking in such a gentle and friendly tone, why does he not listen well?

"Cough!" Mr. Zhou Baoquan woke up and was about to remind his wife to pay attention to his attitude. Didn't he see that everyone around him was looking this way?

Element Lan said again: "Today, Yao'er is going to go home for dinner, so you should also come to eat at home, and stay there after dinner, and Auntie will make breakfast for you tomorrow. By the way, you won't be busy tomorrow, right?"

"Not busy... I'll stay, is it suitable..."

Of course it's weird!

Mr. Zhou Baoquan roared in his heart, his brows were tightly frowned.

My family is not short of houses, but you don't live in another place, are you afraid you won't be able to go home after dinner?

But Element Lan laughed and said: "Of course, why is it inappropriate? Come back with Yao'er more often, and Auntie will cook something delicious for you."

"Okay, Auntie..." Bai Lian couldn't hold back the smile and nodded.

The two chatted for a while, before Bai Lian left, Zhou Baoquan looked at his wife strangely, what does this mean?

Yuan Yuanlan was beating drums in her heart, but she didn't show any emotion on her face, she said with a smile: "Bai Lian is a pretty good kid, if Yao'er's company didn't have him, it wouldn't have developed so smoothly, he is an actor and also a shareholder of the company , and there are a lot of shares, which is different from those actors you know. Look at him, he is good-looking, smart, and polite. Not only has his career developed well, but he is also prosperous."

"????" Mr. Zhou Baoquan looked like a black question mark emoji at the moment.

watt?

Vanves?

Element Lan realized later that she had said something wrong, so she woke up and added stiffly: "Wangren, Wangren haha."

Here, Bai Lian finally came back with three bottles of water. Seeing Zhou Yao smoking, he didn't say a word, but just unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to him.

Diao tilted his head to look at Bai Lian. Except for some bloodshot eyes, his face had returned to normal. He asked, "You were stopped? What did you say?"

Bai Lian looked at Zhou Yao and said, "Auntie asked me to go home with you to have dinner at night, and then stay here by the way."

"Wow." Diao Dian made a strange sound, "Is this a showdown with your dad?"

Bai Lian pursed his lips and looked at Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao thought for a while, then nodded.

Calculating the time, the child is about to be born. It is not surprising that the mother will choose this time for a showdown. When the family goes back to pick up the child, in the mother's heart, this is called a neat and tidy family.

So Zhou Yao whispered to Bai Lian: "Don't worry, I will accompany you."

Bai Lian nodded.

Diao Dian said in a daze: "If I follow along, the scene won't be too ugly."

"Don't be funny, besides, can you go to other people's houses casually now?"

"Oh, that's right..." Diao Dian thought of grandpa again, fell into melancholy again, took a deep breath of cigarette, and stopped talking.

Zhou Yao drank the water that Bai Lian handed over to relieve the smell of smoke in his mouth, but his brows were still furrowed.

This place is always unpleasant.

And tonight, it will be a tough battle.

It was Zhou Yao's car driving back home. The family's black car was one of the funeral convoys. There was a red ribbon floating on the rearview mirror, and the cars that drove out together could no longer be seen.

Bai Lian sat in the passenger seat, not daring to take a breath.

Element Lan sat in the back seat of the driver's seat, while Mr. Zhou Baoquan sat behind the co-pilot with a puzzled face, and his eyes would occasionally circle around the other three.

The car drove into the city, and it became more and more prosperous. Element Lan suddenly said: "Oh, I have attended nine funerals this year, six old people and three young people. The old people have reached their age, and they can still accept their departure. The most pity It’s those young people, sometimes accidents happen so suddenly that people are caught off guard.”

"When Xiaorou's son left, seeing Xiaorou crying like that, my heart was broken."

"You said that we are all half-footed in the soil, what is left? It is nothing more than healthy and safe children."

"It's nothing but death."

Zhou Yao glanced at his mother from the rearview mirror, and then at Bai Lian.

This is... the beginning.

Element Lan just said that all the way, feeling all the way, and kept brainwashing Mr. Zhou Baoquan, but it was also her heartfelt words.

Nothing but death.

Therefore, even if her son finds a same-sex partner, in her opinion, as long as he lives a down-to-earth life, he will be fine, and the gossip outside can be ignored. After all, living is his own life with the door closed, and he knows the ups and downs.

She has witnessed her son's coming out, his marriage, and the birth of her grandchildren. At this age, what she hopes most is a happy family.

So it's time to let your husband know.

Regardless of whether this matter is anger and pain to the husband, or surprise and joy, it is always a must-go. The child is born, and he will enter the Zhou family's door.

Zhou Baoquan listened to the emotions all the way, and he was inevitably drawn into some tenderness in his heart. He always felt that his wife was using this incident to act like a baby, complaining that he didn't accompany her too little.

It's a pity that my son is not interested in the family business. He started his own company and started a prosperous business outside. He hasn't reached the time when he can retire, so the promise may not be fulfilled.

Feeling a little guilty.

Thinking over and over along the way, Zhou Baoquan actually forgot about Bai Lian's existence. He waited until he got out of the car and went home. When he turned around and saw Bai Lian also entered the door, the uncomfortable feeling reappeared.

Element Lan Zhang Luo said: "The guest room at home is rarely used and hasn't been cleaned up. You can go to Yao'er's room to take a bath. There should be new autumn clothes and long trousers in Yao'er's room. You can change them first, and I will let people take a bath later." Turn up the heating by another degree. When you go to that place, you have to change your clothes and pants, so you take off your clothes and dry-clean them quickly, and you can wear them tomorrow.”

"Yao'er's room is on the third floor. After you take a shower, take a rest and sleep. I'll call you after dinner."

"Don't come down in a hurry, your uncle and I will rest too. Grandpa is going out to play chess in the afternoon, and there is no one downstairs."

Element Lan babbled all the way, waiting for the elevator door to open, she came out and smiled at Bai Lian: "If you want to eat, send auntie a WeChat message, and I'll ask my aunt at home to make it for you."

Zhou Baoquan walked in front, looking at his wife inexplicably.It's really... the more I hear it, the more something is wrong. When the guests come, don't you sleep in the guest room and go to your son's room to take a bath?Still taking a nap in your son's room?Is there no room at home?What are these arrangements?

When the elevator door closed, the wife turned around with a satisfied smile on her face, sighed softly, and then floated into her room with a trace of tiredness, turned around and rushed into the bathroom, locking the door .

Zhou Baoquan was one step behind, unable to catch up with the first wave of bathing, so he could only rest in the living room.

He took off his coat and cotton trousers, and when he was about to take off his sweater, he looked down and saw the handbag his wife had left on the sofa.

The handbag that was locked on weekdays was unzipped today, revealing half of an unknown photo, which made people curious because of the chaos. Zhou Baoquan tilted his head and squinted for two seconds, then walked over and picked up the photo.

At this time Zhou Yao and Bai Lian entered the room.

The two entered the bathroom together.

He took off his clothes and threw them in the basket. The hot water was splashing, and a thick layer of mist soon evaporated.

Bai Lian rushed forward, was pressing the shampoo, and suddenly turned around and asked, "How do you think Auntie will talk to Uncle about our affairs?"

Zhou Yao stood under the shower head, the water stream washed down from the top of his head, forming a silver film of light, and the water stream meandered over the face with deep lines, taking away the invisible obscure dust.Hearing this, he opened his eyes abruptly, his moistened pupils were black and glaring, and he said aggressively, "By the way, this is the first time you have come to my house, right?"

"It's not the first time, I came here to pick up books last time..."

"Into my bedroom for the first time? Will you sleep on my bed later? Don't you have any ideas?"

"..." Bai Lian was stunned for a moment, his face flushed immediately, and he said, "What do you think?"

"Of course there is."

Zhou Yao narrowed his eyes and approached Bai Lian, grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards him. The shampoo in Bai Lian's hand flowed to the ground, and a layer of fine foam was washed out by the water. Bai Lian stepped on it, and the foam It became messy, and the breathing suddenly became messy.

In a daze, Bai Lian said intermittently: "Zhou Yao, I miss it very much, I miss that matter."

Zhou Yao's voice came from the back, his breath was a little unsteady, and he said, "I'll talk to you later, now, concentrate on it."

"Well……"

When Ms. Elementan came out of the shower, her hair was blow-dried, her body was fragrant, and she was wearing loose and comfortable home clothes. The first time she came to the living room, her eyes fell on the photos that were left on the coffee table.

The brows slightly raised.

Mr. Zhou Baoquan stood on the balcony and made a phone call. He was always busy with work, and he spoke with his hips akimbo. He issued orders to the person on the phone, with an air of dominance.

Element Lan stepped forward and hugged her husband from behind.

The husband's body tightened suddenly, he turned his head to look at his wife, and then said in a low voice, "I haven't taken a shower yet."

"Yeah." Element Lan let go, "I'll get you a change of clothes, the water is very comfortable."

"it is good."

Waiting for Yuan Yuanlan to come out with a change of clothes, her husband just finished talking on the phone, she looked away from her husband's face and looked at the photo on the desktop.

This reminder from his eyes immediately reminded Mr. Zhou Baoquan of what he was thinking about.

"What is this? What are you doing with someone else's child's B-ultrasound?" Zhou Baoquan asked.

Element Lan said: "This is a five-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound. You can see the face and five senses so clearly. Didn't you look carefully? Why should I use someone else's child's color Doppler ultrasound?"

Zhou Baoquan frowned, not quite understanding, stepped forward and asked, "What do you mean?"

Element Lan hugged the clothes tightly and picked up the photo. Her hands were shaking, so the photo was shaking violently.

Then she raised her head, took a deep breath, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Look, does this little guy look like our son?"

Zhou Baoquan's brows were furrowed for a moment, the creases were so deep that they could almost kill a fly.

Element Lan looked directly at her husband, and then said: "I have a secret, I have kept it from you for many years, I'm sorry, but the child is about to be born, and I plan to take it home, so I can't keep it from you anymore."

"What do you mean? That stinky brat made people's stomachs bigger? What's wrong with that woman? She can't get married?" Once Mr. Zhou Baoquan entered the "combat mode", he couldn't talk properly. knife point.

Element Lan is her first wife, so she is not afraid of his questioning, but she lacks confidence when talking about this matter, so she pondered for a while before saying: "The two children are a surrogate mother, and the woman is only seen by me. We can discuss this matter." Talk about it later, I want to talk about something else now."

Zhou Baoquan looked up and realized something, his face turned blue, his eyes were fierce as if he wanted to choose someone to kill.

Element Lan was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock!"

Zhou Yao's voice came from outside the door, saying, "Mom and Dad, are you resting? Can I come in?"
