Out of the corner of my eye, there was a lot of traffic.
When Zhao Changshuo came back from the hospital, he answered a phone call on the way, and his brows did not loosen for a long time after learning that the time agreed with Zhao Yao had been set. After Zhao Yao put down his words at the meeting, he never intervened in Qichen-related matters, even absent from work for several days, and finally asked his assistant Yao Bai to hand over a resignation letter, which made Zhao Zhikai blush with anger.
He heard that Zhao Zhikai wanted to ask Zhao Yao to discuss things in detail many times, but Zhao Yao always avoided seeing him, and even refused directly regardless of his feelings. Such an approach was unimaginable for Zhao Yao, but in fact Zhao Yao also did it by throwing Zhao Zhikai's face in public, saying that he would withdraw from the competition and he would retreat cleanly.
"Master, are you too tired recently?" The driver noticed Zhao Changshuo frowning frequently through the rearview mirror, thinking that he was busy with work.
Zhao Changshuo was silent for a while, and asked, "Old Li, have you picked up Zhao Yao for a while?"
"Yes, I used to pick up and drop off San Shao when he was in high school." The driver Lao Li asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Changshuo: "What kind of person do you think Zhao Yao is?"
"Third Young Master sometimes looks silent, but he is actually a person with ideas." The driver said, "Why did Young Master suddenly ask about this?"
"I'm thinking about something." Zhao Changshuo said, "I didn't communicate with him much, and I didn't have much contact with him when I was young."
The driver said: "It's been rumored that you and San Shao are at odds, but I don't think San Shao is as weird as they say. A while ago, I heard from the company's employees that San Shao worked overtime for three weeks for a project, and every morning I just left the company, if it was later, I would have slept in the company directly."
Zhao Changshuo had heard it a little bit, and it was because Zhao Yao used to work so hard, and now he just gave up so that people can't understand.

Zhao Yao was watching TV with Yao Bai in the living room. Most of his recent interests come from various love variety shows. In addition to the blind date variety show that he saw late at night, Yao Bai successively recommended several variety shows for young people dating, one-on-one matching, and talking about daily life.
The plot on TV was when the young couple went out shopping. The male star left Xiaohui while the female star was trying on clothes. Yao Bai immediately complained: "This man is not right, why did he leave his girlfriend and go to buy other clothes?" Something? The girl will be in a hurry with him when she comes out later."
With a book in his arms, Zhao Yao was lazily leaning on the sofa, his serious eyes were paying attention to the male guest who was going further and further away, "Isn't this a real couple?"
"Ah, really? They didn't come to this variety show and there was an affair, I thought they were a couple." Yao Bai stretched out his hand to pick up the potato chips on the table, and explained: "Some of these love variety shows are couples in the entertainment industry. There are also some pretending to be couples. But brother, don’t worry, this love story is something that most young couples have encountered in their daily life, you have to eat dog food to see if it’s enough, don’t care if it’s true or not.”
Yao Bai: "But brother, how are you sure they are fake?"
Although Zhao Yao has never been in a relationship, he still has the ability to read people. He said: "Micro-expressions and movements, when the camera is on the front, they will act intimately, but the far-angle lens will keep a distance. I can't see the difference between the two. People like each other."
When Yao Bai heard it, he was surprised and said, "Brother, you are so good, why do you read any reference books?"
Zhao Yao frowned slightly: "These two fields are different. It's natural to see people's knowledge, but falling in love is not an easy thing. My EQ is not low enough to follow the reference books, but understanding is still necessary. Yes, my personal opinion is different from the popular opinion."
After so many years, he subconsciously distrusts anyone, saying that he is in a relationship, but actually he wants to understand how the trust relationship of mutual dependence in the relationship comes from.
When Zhao Changshuo came to visit, he only brought his secretary with him.
In his eyes, Zhao Yao's actions at the meeting really surprised him. Zhao Yao started to enter the enterprise to plan his own future when he was still in college. Over the past few years, the friction between the two has been large and small, and the relationship is also very distant. Although Zhao Changshuo didn't break faces with Zhao Yao, he also knew that the relationship between the two was not so good that Zhao Yao would put aside his future and directly stand by him.
The person who opened the door was Uncle Wang, who was a friend of Zhao Yao's mother and also Zhao Yao's current housekeeper. Zhao Yao moved out of the old house very early and lived with the housekeeper in this apartment in the city center. Zhao Changshuo came here a few times, but after Zhao Yao started working, he seldom came here.
"Young Master." Uncle Wang opened the door, and Zhao Yao explained that Zhao Changshuo would come to visit today.
"The young master is in the hall."
Zhao Changshuo went around the entrance and walked to the entrance, and saw the living room. A popular love variety show was playing on the large display screen, while Zhao Yao was sitting on the sofa talking with his assistant Yao Bai, his injured leg was resting on the elongated mobile soft Pad. Such a scene was very leisurely and too weird, he stopped and looked at Zhao Yao, who happened to cast his gaze, so he said, "Brother is here?"
Yao Baigang was explaining to Zhao Yao the true feelings between lovers in the entertainment industry, and when he saw Zhao Changshuo coming over, he immediately stopped talking.
Zhao Yao said: "Uncle Wang, there is a sealed document on the desk in my study, go and get it."
Uncle Wang nodded and greeted Yao Bai as he left.
Zhao Changshuo sat down on the sofa, his eyes fell unnaturally on the variety show in front of him, "Are you busy recently?"
Zhao Yao replied lightly: "Fortunately, since we're here, let's talk straight."
He took the remote control and pressed pause, and the lively sound of the TV stopped abruptly.
"I'm here to thank you." Zhao Changshuo said bluntly, "Thank you for your help last time."
Zhao Yao was not surprised, "You don't need to thank me, this project belongs to you. Since you are free to come here, then Zhao Zhikai has made some moves?"
"The second meeting will be held in two days, and the person in charge of the Qichen project will also be confirmed. Zhao Zhikai is still the one who will preside over the meeting, but he probably won't be able to take other actions in a short time." Zhao Changshuo said: "This project is very important to me. I still want to thank you for letting me go."
Being mentioned by Zhao Changshuo, Zhao Yao remembered something from the past. There were many disputes in this project of Qichen, and Zhao Changshuo should have been in charge in the first place, but Zhao Zhikai intervened with him to become the current situation. In his previous life, after accepting the Qichen project, he also took over other projects. Only then did he know that when the Qichen project was established, it was linked to several projects that Zhao Changshuo was in charge of.
Zhao Yao asked: "Do you think this project will fall into your hands?"
Zhao Changshuo said: "Zhao Qi really can't do it, Zhao Zhikai has no one to choose."
"You know that the person in charge can also be just a title, as long as Zhao Zhikai wants to, he can also help Zhao Qizhen."
Zhao Yao and Zhao Zhikai used to push Zhao Changshuo to step down. At the beginning, Zhao Zhikai said that he was more capable of taking over and vowed to be with him, but in fact he just used him as a shield. In the end, he wanted to push him down and take over, but he failed .
Zhao Yao suffered a lot from Zhao Zhikai's hands.
He knew that Zhao Zhikai was an ambitious person, and that this person would not easily make Zhao Changshuo proud, so he should have reserved a lot of backup.
Zhao Changshuo: "Two days are too short, it is impossible for him to plan too much."
At this time, Uncle Wang brought the document over, and Zhao Yao handed it to Zhao Changshuo, "The reason why you are not the best candidate is that you have too many projects under your command. As long as Zhao Zhikai plays tricks on your projects, find a few people from the project team to pour dirty water, and get some fake evidence arranged in advance, and then push Zhao Qizhen to the top."
Zhao Changshuo flipped through the files, and it turned out to be some leaked files of his project team.
"Some of these things were found out by myself, and some were given to me by Zhao Zhikai in advance. If there is no accident, it would have been brought up in the meeting a few days ago, but I defected on the spot, and Zhao Zhikai did not discuss it with others for the time being. I didn’t come up with countermeasures to refute you.”
Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Changshuo's frowning, and continued: "If you took out this thing at the time, it would be difficult for you to deal with it on the spot. Zhao Zhikai just has no candidates. He can borrow this thing when the second meeting is held. It is not impossible to embarrass you, to push behind your back, to push Zhao Qizhen to be his puppet."
Zhao Changshuo looked serious: "Why did you give this to me?"
He looked at Zhao Yao seriously, the current Zhao Yao was very different from the previous Zhao Yao, he couldn't see what this younger brother was thinking at all. Moreover, he resigned silently and gave up all the accumulation of the past two years. This is not something Zhao Yao would do at all.
Is it true that as others said, the car accident was changed after an epiphany
"Zhao Zhikai is more troublesome than you. Instead of letting him succeed, it's better to help you." Zhao Yao said bluntly: "It's up to you to believe these things."
Zhao Changshuo: "Why did you resign?"
Zhao Yao: "I think what I said is very clear, because I find it boring, is this a good reason?"
Zhao Changshuo remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.
Zhao Yao didn't take the initiative to speak, instead, he focused his eyes on the reference book in his arms. This is an advanced reference book on love, and the chapter he read is popularizing the love psychology of contemporary young people. The detailed content was written in black and white on the paper book, and Zhao Yao's gaze suddenly fell on the key part of the black frame—
[The first and most important step is to become a rich man.]
When seeing this content, Zhao Yao frowned slightly, "So simple?"
Zhao Changshuo turned his head to look at him when he heard the words, "What book are you reading?"
Zhao Yao simply said: "Reference book."
In fact, the concept of rich people is difficult to define, and different classes have different concepts of rich people. From the perspective of the public, it is not difficult to become a rich person, but if you want to fall in love, people with different money concepts will have different opinions. His future love partner should have the same money concept as him. It is actually more comfortable to get along with people with different ideas than people with different ideas.
Now his assets are far less than in his previous life, if so, then he is not considered a rich man yet. Zhao Yao didn't want to deal with these things at first, because the money in his hand is enough for his retirement, but if he wants to do more things, the current assets are not enough.
Zhao Yao thought in his heart that it seems that some investment is still needed, and these alone are not enough.
Looking at it from Zhao Changshuo's perspective, the cover of this 'reference book' seems to be a little flowery. After thinking deeply, Zhao Changshuo asked, "I will remember the favor this time. If you need help with anything, you can come to me."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yao's leg again, "I know an orthopedic surgeon. I'll ask the secretary to give your assistant the phone number later."
Zhao Yao responded casually: "Thank you very much."
Zhao Changshuo didn't stay long and got up to say goodbye. Before leaving, he asked Uncle Wang, "Does he like reading a lot recently?"
Uncle Wang thought for a while, and replied euphemistically: "The young master has been studying a special theory recently."
Zhao Changshuo left the secretary's phone number to Uncle Wang, "If you need some unpopular classics, you can find him."
Uncle Wang took the business card with complicated eyes, "Okay."
--
Yao Bai was temporarily sent downstairs by Uncle Wang to do some shopping. When he came over, Zhao Changshuo had already left, and Brother Yao was watching the variety show intently. He refilled Zhao Yao's cup of warm water, and then saw that the reference book in Zhao Yao's hand had been placed on the table.
He didn't pay attention just now, but now that he saw the title of this book, he immediately recalled it.
Wait... Isn't this book the sand sculpture book that was hotly discussed on Weibo a while ago? Why does his brother even read this kind of book
