Before Zhao Yao and his men arrived home, Uncle Wang called. The atmosphere in the car was very quiet, there were only Ji Heyu and Zhao Yao in the back seat.
Zhao Yao answered the phone, and calmly said after listening, "Let him wait, I'm almost there."
Yao Bai poked his head and asked, "Is Uncle Wang calling to ask what's for dinner? Can I have dinner?"
Zhao Yao hung up the phone, "Let's stay for dinner tonight."
Ji Heyu turned his head to look at Zhao Yao, he always felt that Mr. Zhao seemed to be in a bad mood after answering the phone.
When they arrived in the wealthy area, Yao Bai pushed the wheelchair and walked in front, followed by Ji Heyu who was a little scared. It was the first time for Ji Heyu to come to a rich area. He had heard that the housing prices of this generation in City S were astonishing, but he didn't expect that one day he would be able to live in the boss's house for two days.
Soon after arriving at Zhao's house, Yao Bai opened the door and noticed the leather shoes left at the entrance. He was slightly taken aback: "Is someone here?"
Zhao Yao's expression was calm: "Zhao Zhikai is here."
! ! !
Yao Bai: "Brother, why didn't you say it earlier."
Zhao Yao simply changed his shoes, "Is there any difference?"
Uncle Wang didn't call to ask what he would like to have for dinner, but Zhao Zhikai is currently in his apartment. This incident was not unexpected, Zhao Yao had expected that Zhao Zhikai would come to him, but he did not expect that this person would come to the door in person at this time.
In his previous life, he was backhanded by Zhao Zhikai in the later stages of the Qichen project. In the past, he could be said to have wholeheartedly believed in this second uncle who helped him plan and deal with Zhao Changshuo, but he did not expect that he would be betrayed by Zhao Zhikai from the beginning to the end. Take advantage of it. His insomnia symptoms also gradually worsened during that time. Yao Bai went abroad, and most of the confidantes around him were pawns that Zhao Zhikai had laid in advance, almost forcing him into a corner.
But fortunately, he saved a hand in advance, so the Zhao family's family business was not taken away by Zhao Zhikai in his previous life. The hatred between him and Zhao Zhikai in his previous life was actually over, at least when he was seriously ill and in the nursing home, Zhao Zhikai was still in prison.
Zhao Yao suddenly felt no interest in dealing with this kind of former enemy. The methods of his defeated opponents were like childish behaviors without any cover in front of him. His self-righteous hypocrisy was easily exposed, but he was a little curious. He was tricked at the beginning, and now he has no one around him to use, what else will Zhao Zhikai do
"Xiao Yao is back?" Zhao Zhikai was sitting in the living room dressed in formal attire. Seeing Zhao Yao come back, he got up and walked, "I heard from Uncle Wang that he went out for a re-examination today. How is the situation?"
Uncle Wang didn't tell Zhao Zhikai the truth about his going to Huihua.
Zhao Yao handed his coat to Uncle Wang, "add two sets of bowls and chopsticks at night, and Xiao Ji will stay at home for two days."
Uncle Wang looked at Ji Heyu, who had big bags and small bags beside him, and replied, "Okay, young master."
Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Zhikai after he finished his orders, "Second Uncle, come over to discuss something? Let's go upstairs to the study."
Ji Heyu's chest was tight and panicked. He looked at the kind man just now, and he always had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He asked in a low voice, "Was that Mr. Zhao's uncle just now?"
Yao Bai glanced upstairs, "Forget it, I don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, and I don't know why he came here at this time." He trusted Zhao Zhikai before, but after Zhao Yao reminded him to be careful, he paid attention Then Zhao Zhikai made a lot of tricks behind his back.
Before when he wanted to push Zhao Qizhen to the top, he was very arrogant, but now Zhao Qizhen sees that it is useless, so he asks the secretary to call to make an appointment every day, knowing that Brother Yao has bad legs and it is embarrassing, but now he condescends to come to the door.

The curtains of the study were closed, and Zhao Zhikai turned on the light in the study by the way, and the dark room suddenly lit up.
"Xiao Yao, Second Uncle doesn't beat around the bush anymore. What do you think about the previous meeting? Didn't you agree that I would help you deal with Zhao Changshuo and get Zhao Changshuo out?" Zhao Zhikai pushed Zhao Yao to the mahogany table and stopped. Looking down at him: "I remember you hated Zhao Changshuo, why did you take the initiative to support him at the meeting?"
Zhao Yao smiled slightly when he heard the words, put his fingers on his lap, but looked straight at Zhao Zhikai, and said in a flat voice: "I don't want to fight, so I can only support him, is it possible that I want to push Zhao Qizhen, that idiot, like the second uncle? "
Zhao Qizhen often targets Zhao Yao, although it's like tickling, but Zhao Yao doesn't like Zhao Qizhen.
The atmosphere in the study suddenly fell into a strange silence, Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Zhikai calmly.
The latter looked sullen, and said in a slightly angry voice, "The Zhao family's property cannot fall into Zhao Changshuo's hands. Have you thought about this problem?"
Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Zhikai calmly, but said very directly: "Then who should the Zhao family's fortune fall on?"
Zhao Zhikai was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, "What do you mean? If it weren't for Zhao Changshuo, when your mother died of illness, your father would not have been away on business and could not come back. I have planned for you for so many years, but in the end you expressed support at the Qichen meeting His kind of joke."
Seeing that Zhao Yao didn't respond, Zhao Zhikai's voice was slightly lowered: "Zhao Yao, what are you thinking in your heart? Do you really want to give up this family business to Zhao Changshuo? Your ability is not inferior to him at all. Your father is seriously ill now. You All the performances could have come back in the end, and now you've ruined that chance."
Zhao Yao said, "Is this my chance?"
Zhao Zhikai suddenly thought of something, "Are you saying that I asked Zhao Qizhen to take your position at the second meeting? In that case, the Qichen plan fell into Zhao Qizhen's hands, and we can still push it off because of his disadvantage. He stepped down, but it will be difficult to win back in the hands of Zhao Changshuo, why don't you understand the good intentions of the second uncle?"
Zhao Yao calmly looked at Zhao Zhikai and explained that he was desperate but eager to make up for it. After packaging his own ambitions, he turned them into good intentions for his sake. Zhao Zhikai was still the same in his previous life, pretending to be a hypocritical good guy, but secretly plotting his huge ambition of snatching the Zhao Group.
It's ridiculous...
There are obviously many signs, but the former self was still deceived by him to the end, and finally fell into a predicament, almost giving up the Zhao family's family business. Thinking about it now, there was nothing to argue about breaking the family business, but if his father's things fell into the hands of someone like Zhao Zhikai, he might as well give Zhao Changshuo a chance.
After Zhao Zhikai revealed his hard work and ambition, Zhao Yao looked down at his delicate and white fingers, and asked coolly, "Is Second Uncle doing it for me, or for himself?"
"What are you thinking in your heart!" Zhao Zhikai restrained his expression, "it's unreasonable. If you don't fight now, just wait for Zhao Changshuo to cover the sky with one hand and then deal with you." He also stopped arguing with Zhao Yao and pushed it away The door went out.
After he left, Zhao Yao picked up his mobile phone and contacted EV: check the use of assets under Zhao Zhikai's name.
EV quickly replied: Don't you have a good relationship with your second uncle? Why do you suddenly want to check him
Zhao Yao: Not enough money
EV: Hey, sure enough. By the way, the service will help you find Zhao Zhikai's mistress. My younger brother took a lot of good photos of him last time.
Zhao Yao actually didn't want to get involved in those bastard affairs of the Zhao family, but when he heard Zhao Zhikai mention his mother just now, he thought it would be too cheap to let Zhao Zhikai go in this life. I don't know how long it will take for Zhao Changshuo to get rid of Zhao Zhikai's cancer, but he doesn't mind giving his elder brother another favor.
After all, they just sent a team over.
Zhao Yao turned off the phone screen, and said to himself: "When a person is reborn, does his heart become different?"
-*
The discussion in the study ended unhappily, Zhao Zhikai angrily came out of the study and left. Sitting in the living room downstairs, Ji Heyu saw Mr. Zhao's uncle leave, "Isn't he staying for dinner?"
Yao Bai was looking at the files on his mobile phone. After Zhao Yao cooperated with the Chen Department, his work became more and more, "Mr. Don't you want to stay?"
When it was almost time for dinner, Uncle Wang pushed Zhao Yao downstairs. After dinner, Yao Bai talked with Ji Heyu about his future work arrangements and left. In the middle of the night, Ji Heyu couldn't sleep, and suddenly heard a voice from outside the room. He opened the door and saw that there was a light in the living room not far away, and the sound of the TV came.
Mr. Zhao hasn't rested yet
Ji Heyu walked over to take a look, and found that there was indeed someone sitting on the sofa. Zhao Yao was wearing a loose pajamas, with a tired look on his face, and a heavy paper book on his lap.
Zhao Yao noticed that someone was coming, "Is it too loud for you?"
He turned down the volume of the TV.
Ji Heyu shook his head: "It's so late, isn't Mr. Zhao resting?" It's almost early morning, and although it's normal for night owls to stay up late, Zhao Yao doesn't seem like someone who will take the initiative to stay up late.
"My sleep quality is not good, and I still can't sleep now." Zhao Yao flipped through the columns on the Internet TV. He had already watched the last love variety show, and he was not interested in other variety shows, so he couldn't find any Find something suitable to relieve boredom, "What movies have you young people been watching lately?"
"Movies?" Ji Heyu sat down beside Zhao Yao, "I don't watch many movies, but there are quite a lot of good TV series recently."
Hearing this, Zhao Yao turned his head to look at him, and then clicked into the most popular column recently, and it was Pei Mingzhan's big head that caught his eye.
The cursor of the remote control landed on Pei Mingzhan's avatar. Zhao Yao hadn't seen this avatar two days ago, "Is this a new drama?"
Didn't have this two days ago... "Drowning in the Sea"
Ji Heyu has heard of this drama, "It's not a new drama, it's a popular drama a few months ago, it seems to be Pei Mingzhan's rare TV series, I have chased after it with my colleagues before."
Zhao Yao used to spend all his free time at work, and he had no interest in things like the entertainment industry, let alone chasing dramas. Pei Mingzhan appeared in front of Zhao Yao more and more times. He couldn't help thinking that no matter it was movies, TV series, or even variety shows, there seemed to be Pei Mingzhan.
This person's traffic in the domestic entertainment industry seems to be unusually large...
"Then watch this."
Zhao Yao clicked in directly. He was always inexplicably familiar with Pei Mingzhan, and he was also a little curious about what it was like to play a TV series with Pei Mingzhan.
Ji Heyu was forced to stay and watch with him, and replied dryly: "Okay."
He actually wanted to say that there is no need to embarrass himself, and he can lie down and play with his mobile phone even if he can't sleep.
In the dead of night, only the theme song of "Drowning in the Sea" was played slowly and orderly. The tired look on Zhao Yao's face has gone a lot, like a child who has found a toy he is interested in, and there is a bit of joy in his calm and peaceful eyes.
Ji Heyu was worried that the atmosphere would be too awkward, so he raised a few topics from time to time to keep chatting with him late at night.
Zhao Yao responded occasionally, but his tone was as flat as ever.
"Did he sing the theme song? Not bad."
"It looks much younger, it should have been filmed for two years."
"The plot rhythm of TV series is much slower than that of movies."
Ji Heyu gradually became a little sleepy. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at several books beside him, and suddenly saw "Gender Relationship" and "Love Strategy" written in pollen font on the cover...
He shivered, looked sideways at Zhao Yao who was watching the drama seriously, and suddenly felt a sense of bewilderment in his heart.
Do all the bosses have such a wide range of interests
The author has something to say: Zhao Yao: Pei Mingzhan did a good job in the play.
Xiao Ji who chatted with me late at night: I'm sleepy, but I dare not say it.
