Chapter 17

Before Zhao Yao and his men arrived home, Uncle Wang called over. The atmosphere in the car was very quiet, with Ji Heyu and Zhao Yao in the back seat.

Zhao Yao answered the phone and said calmly after listening: "Let him wait a moment, I'm almost here."

Yao Bai leaned over and asked, "Uncle Wang called to ask what to eat at night? Can I have a free meal?"

Zhao Yao hung up the phone, "Let's stay for dinner tonight."

Ji Heyu turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yao. He always felt that Mr. Zhao was not feeling very well after answering the phone.

When he arrived at the rich area, Yao Bai was walking in front of him with a wheelchair, and behind him was a little scared Ji Heyu. Ji Heyu came to the rich area for the first time. He had heard that this generation of S City had an amazing housing price, but he didn't expect that one day he would be able to stay at his boss's house for two days.

He arrived at Zhao's house soon. Yao Bai opened the door and noticed the leather shoes left at the entrance of the door. He was a little stunned: "Is this someone here at home?"

Zhao Yao's face was calm: "Zhao Zhikai is here."

!!!

Yao Bai: "Brother, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Zhao Yao changed his shoes simply, "Is there any difference?"

Uncle Wang called not to ask what he wanted to eat at night, but Zhao Zhikai is now in his apartment. This matter was not unexpected. Zhao Yao had expected Zhao Zhikai to come to him, but he didn't expect that this person would come to him in person during this period.

In his previous life, he was cheated by Zhao Zhikai in the late stage of the Venucia project. In the past, he could be said to have believed in this second uncle who helped him plan to deal with Zhao Changshuo, but he did not expect that he was taken advantage of by Zhao Zhikai from beginning to end. His insomnia symptoms gradually worsened during that period. Yao Bai went abroad, and most of his confidants were pawns set up by Zhao Zhikai in advance, which almost forced him to go to the fore.

Fortunately, he kept it in advance, and Zhao Zhikai's family business was not taken away by Zhao Zhikai in his previous life. His hatred with Zhao Zhikai in his previous life was actually over. At least when he was seriously ill and stayed in a sanatorium, Zhao Zhikai was still in prison.

In dealing with such an old enemy, Zhao Yao suddenly felt that he was not interested. The defeated general's method was like an unrestrained child in front of him. His self-righteous and hypocritical face was broken with one click. But he was a little curious. Zhao Zhikai was cheated by him at the beginning of his life. Now there is no use of people around him. What else would Zhao Zhikai do?

"Xiao Yao is back?" Zhao Zhikai sat in the living room in formal clothes. When he saw Zhao Yao come back, he got up and walked away. "I heard Uncle Wang say that he went out for a re-examination today. What's the situation?"

Uncle Wang did not tell Zhao Zhikai truthfully about his departure from Huihua.

Zhao Yao handed the coat to Uncle Wang next to him, "I will add two pairs of bowls and chopsticks tonight, and Xiao Ji will stay at home for two days."

Uncle Wang looked at Ji Heyu with a big bag beside him and replied, "Okay, young master."

After Zhao Yao finished his order, he looked at Zhao Zhikai, "Second uncle here, have something to talk about? Let's go to the study room upstairs."

Ji Heyu was so stuffy that he looked at the kind man just now, and he always felt indescribable. He asked in a low voice: "Is that Mr. Zhao's uncle just now?"

Yao Bai glanced upstairs and said, "That's right, I won't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, and I don't know what he came to the door at this time." He trusted Zhao Zhikai before, but later after Zhao Yao reminded him to keep some snacks, he noticed that Zhao Zhikai had made many small moves behind his back.

Before, he was very arrogant when he wanted to push Zhao Qizhen to take office. Now, Zhao Qizhen saw that it was useless, so he asked his secretary to call him to make an appointment every day. Although he knew that Brother Yao's legs were not good, he was still embarrassed, but now he came to the door with a condescending attitude.

The curtains in the study were closed, and Zhao Zhikai turned on the lights in the study, and the dim room suddenly lit up.

"Xiao Yao, the second uncle is not going around the bush. What did you think about the previous meeting? Didn't you agree that I would help you deal with Zhao Changshuo and then get Zhao Changshuo off the stage?" Zhao Zhikai pushed Zhao Yao to the red wooden table and stopped, looking at him condescendingly: "I remember you hate Zhao Changshuo, why did you take the initiative to support him at the meeting?"

Zhao Yao smiled slightly when he heard this, put his fingers on his legs, but his eyes looked straight at Zhao Zhikai, and his voice was plain: "I don't want to fight, so I can only support him. Could it be that I want to push Zhao Qizhen, that fool like my second uncle?"

Zhao Qizhen often targets Zhao Yao. Although it looks like a tickling, Zhao Yao does not like Zhao Qizhen.

The atmosphere in the study suddenly fell into a strange silence, and Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Zhikai calmly.

The latter looked sinister and said in a slight voice: "The Zhao family's family business cannot fall into Zhao Changshuo's hands. Have you ever thought about this problem?"

Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Zhikai without any turbulence, but his words were very direct: "Who should the Zhao family's family business fall on?"

Zhao Zhikai was shocked for a moment when he heard this, "What do you mean? If it weren't for Zhao Changshuo, your father wouldn't have been on a business trip when your mother died of illness. I have planned for you for so many years, but in the end you said a joke like supporting him at the Venucia Conference."

Seeing that Zhao Yao had no reaction, Zhao Zhikai's voice was a little hesitant: "Zhao Yao, what do you think? I 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, and all your performances may be against the generals in the end, but now you have ruined this opportunity."

Zhao Yao said: "Is this my chance?"

Zhao Zhikai suddenly thought of something, "Are you talking about the second meeting that I asked Zhao Qizhen to take your position? In that case, the Venucia plan fell into Zhao Qizhen's hands, and we can still push him off the stage by doing things in the wrong way, but it will be difficult to fight back in Zhao Changshuo. Why don't you understand the second uncle's good intentions?"

Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Zhikai calmly and explained that the popularity in front of him was furious but eager to save it. After packaging his ambitions, it turned into his good intentions. Zhao Zhikai was still the same as in his previous life, with a hypocritical good-looking old man, but secretly planned to seize the huge ambitions of the Zhao family group.

It's really ridiculous...

There were obviously many signs, but in the past he was deceived by him until the end, he was in trouble and almost gave up the Zhao family's family business. Now, thinking about this broken family business, there is nothing to fight for, but his father's things fell into the hands of someone like Zhao Zhikai, so he might as well help Zhao Changshuo.

After Zhao Zhikai expressed his ambitions, Zhao Yao lowered his eyes and looked at his delicate and fair fingers, and asked coldly: "Is the second uncle for me or for me?"

"What are you thinking in your heart!" Zhao Zhikai restrained his expression, "It's simply unreasonable. If you don't fight now, just wait for Zhao Changshuo to cover up the sky before coming to deal with you." He stopped arguing with Zhao Yao, and directly pushed the door and walked 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 replied soon: Don’t you have a good relationship with your second uncle? Why did you suddenly want to check him?

Zhao Yao: Not enough money?

EV: Hi, of course it's enough. By the way, I'll help you check out the mistress raised by Zhao Zhikai. Last time my younger brother took a lot of good photos of him.

Zhao Yao actually didn't want to get involved in the Zhao family's bastards, but when Zhao Zhikai mentioned his mother just now, he thought that it would be too cheap to let Zhao Zhikai go in this life. I don't know how long it took for Zhao Changshuo to remove Zhao Zhikai, but he didn't mind giving his elder brother a favor.

After all, they just sent a team here.

Zhao Yao pressed the screen of his mobile phone and said to himself: "Will the heart become different when a person is reborn?"

-*

The discussion in the study ended unhappily, and Zhao Zhikai came out of the study angrily and left. Ji Heyu sat in the living room downstairs and saw Mr. Zhao's uncle leaving, "Don't he stay for dinner?"

Yao Bai was looking at the mobile phone files. After Zhao Yao cooperated with the Chen team, his work became more and more. "General Zhao was a daily manager, so how could he have time to come to our small place for dinner? Haven't you seen my brother not even keep his bowls and chopsticks?"

When it was almost time for dinner, Uncle Wang pushed Zhao Yao downstairs. After dinner, Yao Bai talked about Ji Heyu's future work arrangements and left. In the middle of the night, Ji Heyu was a little unconscious about the bed and couldn't sleep. Suddenly, he heard a sound from outside the room. He pushed open the door and saw that there was light in the living room not far away, and the sound played by the TV came.

Mr. Zhao hasn't even rested yet?

Ji Heyu walked over and saw that there was indeed a person sitting on the sofa. Zhao Yao was wearing a loose pajama, with a little tired look on his face, and a heavy paper book on his legs.

Zhao Yao noticed that the person was coming, "Is it because the sound was too loud that disturbing you?"

He turned off the sound of the TV.

Ji Heyu shook his head: "It's so late, Mr. Zhao won't rest?" It's almost early morning. 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.

"I have poor sleep quality and can't sleep yet." Zhao Yao was flipping through the columns on the Internet TV. He had already watched the last love variety show. He was not interested in other variety shows. He couldn't find any suitable things to relieve his boredom after searching. "What movies do you young people love to watch recently?"

"Movie?" Ji Heyu sat down beside Zhao Yao, "I have watched few movies, but I have seen a lot of good TV series recently."

When Zhao Yao heard this, he turned his head to look at him, and then clicked into the recently popular column. The big head of Pei Mingzhan was attracted by her.

The cursor of the remote control stopped on Pei Mingzhan's avatar. Zhao Yao hadn't seen this avatar two days ago, "Is this a new drama?"

There wasn't this two days ago... "Drowned 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 a rare TV drama work by Pei Mingzhan. I have followed her colleagues before."

Zhao Yao used to spend all his spare time on work, and he had never been interested in such things as the entertainment industry, let alone watching TV series. Pei Mingzhan appeared in front of Zhao Yao more and more often, and he couldn't help but think that Pei Mingzhan seemed to be there in movies, TV series, or even variety shows.

This person's traffic in the domestic entertainment industry seems to be very large...

"Then look at this."

Zhao Yao clicked in directly. He always had an indescribable sense of familiarity with Pei Mingzhan, and he was also a little curious about what Pei Mingzhan looked like in a TV series.

Ji Heyu was forced to stay and watch with him, and replied dryly: "Okay."

He actually wanted to say that there was no need to make things difficult for him, and he could lie down and play with his phone while he couldn't sleep.

The night was quiet, and only the theme song "Drunk the Sea" was played slowly and orderly. The tiredness on Zhao Yao's face disappeared a lot, just like a child who found the toy he was interested in, with a little joy in his calm eyes.

Ji Heyu was worried that the atmosphere was too awkward, so he started to talk about several topics from time to time.

Zhao Yao occasionally responded, but his tone was still as dull as ever.

"Did he sing this theme song? Not bad."

"It looks much younger, it should have been filming for two years."

"The plot of the TV series is much slower than that of the movie."

Ji Heyu gradually became a little sleepy. Yu Guang swept to several books next to him, and suddenly saw "Band-Sex Relationship" and "Love Guide" in the pollen font on the cover...

He shivered and looked at Zhao Yao who was watching the drama seriously, and suddenly felt a sense of confusion in his heart.

Are people who are bosses so interested?

The author has something to say: Zhao Yao: Pei Mingzhan performed well in the opera.

Xiao Ji, who chatted with her late at night: She was very sleepy, but she didn’t dare to say it.
