matchstick heaven

Zhou's Building has a total of 68 floors, with a glass aquarium built around the middle section and a sky garden on the roof. It was regarded as one of the city's landmark buildings with the most modern design concepts in the area when it was completed.

The day of the family dinner.

Shen Qing fell asleep all the way to the place, got out of the car, and was startled by the towering buildings.

However, he is a dedicated person. When Zhou Chenshan put his hand on his lower back, he adjusted his posture and walked in steadily.

The banquet hall was spacious and luxurious, Shen Qing kept half a step behind Zhou Chenshan, and calmly walked into the feast of singing and dancing.

"This is my wife, Shen Qing, and this is my fourth uncle's family. They have lived in Qingdao for a long time."

"Hello."

"This is my sister-in-law."

"Hello."

Each of these faces is different, but when they speak, their expressions are somewhat similar.

Shen Qing nodded her head as if looking at the flowers on a horse, and kept a cold and polite expression all the time.Facts have proved that this trick is not only effective in the e-sports industry, but also seems to be quite effective against these Zhou family's elites.

He followed Zhou Chenshan all the way to recognize people, and heard similar flattering words from those lips and tongues, a long string of bubbles rising from the golden aperitif, and the appearance of people talking affectionately and performing with each other twisted in the wine glass.

The dining table was so long that you couldn't see the other end, but the seats of Shen Qing and Zhou Chenshan were right next to the main table.

Zhou Chenshan introduced Shen Qing again: "This is the initiator of today's family feast, my little uncle, Zhou Liangrui, this is Shen Qing."

"Hello, Mr. Shen, it's the first time we meet."

"Hello." Shen Qing remembered that Zhou Chenshan had explained that today he wanted to discuss an important business with this "little uncle".

Zhou Liangrui's facial features are quite similar to those of Zhou Chenshan, and he is very young. At the age of 32, he is in charge of all the real estate business of the Zhou family and his wife, and has deep ties to both domestic and foreign affairs, as well as public and private affairs. , he is like a gentle and harmless big brother.Zhou Chenshan was 5 years younger than him, and the two of them sat together, at first glance they looked like brothers.

"Chenshan, go back to my home on New Year's Day, they say they miss you."

Zhou Liangrui said this in a low voice, but I don't know if it was Shen Qing's illusion, it seemed that the hands of the dining table on the long table paused for a moment, many pairs of eyes slanted over, and several faces turned slightly.

"Okay. It's a pity that Shen Qing will be very busy next month, so I can only go back by myself."

Sitting opposite them at this time was Zhou Chenshan's cousin. Shen Qing didn't quite remember his specific identity, but only remembered that his name was quite interesting, Zhou Dao.

Zhou Dao let out a laugh, and said in a not-so-kind tone, "Chenshan's status has changed all of a sudden when he got married, and he has to go back to his family to report."

Zhou Liangrui replied calmly with a smile: "That's natural."

Zhou Dao's expression changed subtly, which Shen Qing was familiar with, mixed with jealousy, anger, unwillingness, and humiliation.

Sure enough, it is a big family, and a random performance is a big show.

After the meal, everyone moved to the side hall. Some people sang songs with the live band, and soon began to dance.Shen Qing didn't understand such elegant music, and she didn't know how to dance, so she held up her wine glass and shrank behind Zhou Chenshan.

Zhou Chenshan followed him and stood motionless on the periphery. Shen Qing guessed that it was to match his marriage partner who couldn't dance ballroom.

After a piece of music, Zhou Liangrui came over to give a signal, and Zhou Chenshan led Shen Qing to follow.

When Shen Qing passed through the crowd, he could hear small discussions, the subject of which was nothing more than his identity.Zhou Chenshan's unfriendly cousin cast an inquiring gaze, as if he was also looking at the real relationship between the two.

But it doesn't matter, it is surprising that there is a real marriage in this kind of family.

Shen Qing quickly left Vanity Fair.He was taken to a small but clean lounge, where there were magazines and records to choose from, and tea and snacks were prepared for him.

"Wait for me for a while." Zhou Chenshan left after finishing speaking.

Shen Qing sat on the sofa, took out her mobile phone, and planned to slowly kill the night.

The next room is the Zhou family's private meeting room. The two sat down across the tea table and chatted leisurely.

Zhou Liangrui withdrew his smiling face, and said briskly: "That Shen Qing is interesting. When you come to this kind of place, you don't even shake your hands. How did you dig it out?"

The corner of Zhou Chenshan's mouth curled into a smile, and he said, "I dug it from an Internet cafe."

Recalling the environment in Eagle's office, he thought it was no different from a high-end Internet cafe, so it seemed okay to say that.

Zhou Liangrui gave him a thumbs up.

Zhou Chenshan blinked, recalling Shen Qing's performance the whole night in his mind, and also felt that he was "a bit interesting".Maybe it's because he has played a lot of games, and he can be regarded as someone who has seen big scenes.

"Are you going to see grandpa later?"

"Look, let's take Shen Qing for a cutscene."

"Okay, I mean, so I don't get caught off guard. It's time to prepare for the New Year's Day promotion next week, right?"

"Already in preparation, this time I want to make it bigger, there is a new series of planning, it should be popular."

"That's right~ You hold on to our most famous brand externally, and I hold on to our largest internal fund. Those little gadgets that want to use their brains can only eat the petty profits on the outside, and they can't shake us."

Zhou Chenshan smiled and poured himself a cup of tea: "It's not enough."

"I know what you want to do, but it's too early to talk about it now. Right now... wait for Grandpa to leave and you get your share of the inheritance, then we can talk about it."

"I know." Zhou Chenshan picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.

"Okay, let's finish what we have to do as soon as possible. You still have to go to the nursing home. Don't go back to the hotel too late. This is the text that was negotiated during the last video conference. You can see if there is anything to be changed. "

Zhou Liangrui pushed several contracts over.

Zhou Chenshan picked it up and flipped through it, and quickly took out a pen from his pocket, and signed his name eloquently.

Zhou Liangrui made up his own signature, and the two each held a copy, and the other was locked in the safe in this room.

"Let's discuss the details when we arrive at our home on New Year's Day. There will be more time then. When do you plan to return to Shanghai? How about leaving after the weekend?"

"I'll be back early tomorrow morning."

Zhou Liangrui was a little surprised: "In such a rush? Your aunt even told you to take time to play at home."

"Next time, Shen Qing is going back to work, time is a little tight."

"Okay, next time. By the way, what does he do?"

"E-sports players, professional coaches."

"You... really know how to choose. Simple, careless, and won't really get involved in any deep relationship... Awesome!"

"More than that, I read his household registration book, and there is only him on it, and the involvement of parents and relatives is also saved."

"Oh? Where are his parents?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I checked the public information of him in the past few years when he came out as a coach, and his parents never showed up."

"You are also big-hearted, why don't you check this carefully?"

"There is nothing to check. Anyway, as long as Shen Qing lives alone, all the documents are in his hands, and he has the right to dispose of his own property and marriage. Others are not important."

Zhou Liangrui lowered his voice: "That's right, you don't care about such things."

Zhou Chenshan smiled and got up.

"Then I'll go first."

"Okay, let's play again when you have time."

Zhou Chenshan left this room and knocked on the door of the lounge next door: "It's me."

The door opened, and Shen Qing stood inside, asking, "Is the talk over?"

"Okay, you can go."

The two set off for a nursing home in Binjiang.

After sitting in the lounge for a long time, Shen Qing felt drowsy, and began to doze off again along the way.When he arrived at the place, it was Zhou Chenshan who woke him up.

"Did you sleep as soon as you got in the car?" Zhou Chenshan asked him with a mocking smile.

Shen Qing apologized embarrassingly, then lazily went to pull the car door, but before opening it for the first time, she was teased again by Zhou Chenshan next to her.But when Zhou Chenshan stretched out his hand to help him, he opened the car door by himself and stepped out of the car quickly.

The house in front of me is of course slightly smaller than the Zhou family's building, but the white walls and blue windows are paired with dense green climbing vines, and the retro-designed street lamps are brightly lit in warm tones, making it look much warmer.

"Let's go in empty-handed? Do I need to call grandpa?" Shen Qing asked.

Zhou Chenshan looked at him with a strange flash in his eyes.

"No, he can't hear it."
