Volume 5: Blossom and Fruit 2018 Chapter 902
Zhou Dongsheng naturally knew nothing about the arrival of such an uninvited guest. After all, in his opinion, everything had been made clear enough when he moved into his new home last time.
But obviously, this was what Zhou Dongsheng took for granted, and he also greatly underestimated human nature. When there is a profitable gap to exploit, most people will rack their brains for it.
And if the benefit is big enough, it can even make people throw away the so-called propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. What's more, with Zhou Dongsheng's current wealth, it is a temptation that is enough to make people lose their reason.
As long as he could get even a hair off Zhou Dongsheng, it would be enough to make Zhou Desheng live a life of luxury.
God would have known that in the past two years, he had watched Zhou Dongsheng rise to prominence, not only becoming a well-known boss in the town, but also a wealthy man who spent a lot of money on charity and helping the poor and the needy.
The feeling of just watching was even more painful than killing Zhou Desheng. If he had not been so reckless back then, wouldn't he have had his share of the wealth and glory now?
As long as Zhou Dongsheng could give him a little bit of money, it would be enough for him to walk around the town with ease.
Just like his "wife of the hardships" back then, she has finally reaped the rewards of her hardship. The fact that she is a mother with a son is enough to make her worry-free about food and clothing.
What's more, it was heard that Zhou Dongsheng had handed a company to her to manage, and at the same time, he had done good deeds such as road construction in the town in her name.
Because of this, even his former wife has become a well-known and prominent figure in the town...
In comparison, I was like a rat crossing the street, and became the object of ridicule and mockery by many people.
It was precisely because he could not bear this that Zhou Desheng chose to leave his hometown and go to Pengcheng to find a job as a janitor on a construction site.
But Zhou Desheng didn't expect that even though he had left his hometown, various news about Zhou Dongsheng would still come from afar from time to time, and each one was more outrageous than the last.
Zhou Desheng never dreamed that he could give birth to such a rare talent. Otherwise, as the saying goes, "A good father will have a good son." He was very proud of it.
Even when bragging to his coworkers, he accidentally revealed this fact, but you can imagine...
No one would believe that the biological father of a billionaire would fall to the point of guarding the gate at a construction site. When asked the reason, Zhou Desheng stammered and could not give a clear answer.
For a time, the construction site was filled with a happy atmosphere, and Zhou Desheng became the laughing stock of the site.
So this time Zhou Desheng returned to Gu Town just to prove this point. For this reason, Zhou Desheng even thought of his idol's classic lines at the first moment.
"I've been waiting for three years just for an opportunity. I want to fight for it. I don't want to prove that I'm great, but I just want to prove that what I lost, I must take it back!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Desheng couldn't help but whistle unusually briskly. At the same time, Zhou Fusheng, who arrived late on a classic 125 motorcycle, couldn't help but smile when he saw his brother.
"Brother, you're back!"
"Is everything okay at home? How's mom?" Zhou Desheng chatted about family matters and got on his motorcycle quickly.
"It's fine, but you know, your son drove two Grand Turismos back to his hometown for the New Year this year, and he's made a fortune now..." Zhou Fusheng hinted secretly.
Obviously, he had never thought of taking advantage of this opportunity. For people like them who are used to being carefree, they had thrown their face out of the window.
If they were not shameless, they would not have been able to survive until now and live such a comfortable life.
After all, as long as you don't have any responsibilities, you can naturally live a free and easy life.
"This kid is really getting more and more promising, just follow me..." Zhou Desheng boasted habitually.
"Of course not. Back then, I was one of the few high school students in our area. If I hadn't missed the resumption of the college entrance examination, I would have been the earliest college student in our clan. I can be compared to Zhou Dongsheng now. What's the saying? It's all..."
Zhou Fusheng, who had limited cultural knowledge, stammered.
"Everything is inferior, only reading is superior! Dongsheng, this kid, is not even as educated as me..." Zhou Fusheng said complacently, and this is the only thing he can show off.
Oh no, now there's another one.
"Let's go home and celebrate the New Year first. Tomorrow, I, as his father, will make an exception and go to visit him to wish him a happy new year. I don't believe in celebrating the New Year..." Zhou Desheng planned with his younger brother.
Zhou Fusheng's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Okay! I'll go and help you. We can also call a group of family elders to join us. By then, even for the sake of the elders' face, Zhou Dongsheng will definitely not dare to do anything to us..."
"After all, he is now a well-known and influential person. Don't important people have to consider things...social impact?"
"You are really smart. You have been smart since you were a child!" Zhou Desheng patted his younger brother's shoulder.
“Hehehe, it’s all thanks to my brother’s good teaching…” Zhou Fusheng smiled.
The smell of snakes and rats running together and doing evil is so strong, otherwise it is said that people of the same family would not marry each other.
If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked!
…
On New Year's Eve, as night fell, the Zhou family's new house was decorated with bright lights.
Although the house is not big, the two ordinary large Rolls-Royce cars at the door are undoubtedly enough to reflect the owner's strong family background and strength.
After a few days of maintenance, the house is now filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
At this moment, in the center of the patio as you enter the courtyard, there is a large round table, and in the middle is a solid brass hot pot, which the locals also like to call a hot pot.
The middle is hollowed out for burning charcoal, and the circular stove on the side is used for cooking. In the middle of winter, the whole family can sit around smelling the charcoal aroma and eating hot dishes. It is really a happy time.
In addition, all kinds of delicacies filled the entire round table. About ten people sat around the stove, enjoying such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner together.
Of course, what is indispensable is the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala on the TV in the living room.
Today, as the entertainment life of the general public becomes increasingly enriched, the Spring Festival Gala has gradually declined from the altar of public attention, and the quality of the program is even more difficult to describe.
But every New Year’s Eve, if there is no Spring Festival Gala as background music, I always feel that the festive atmosphere is missing. Even if I don’t watch it, I have to turn on the TV.
It is for this reason that the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala remain high over the years. Although it is difficult to regain its former glory, it is still the only designated background music on New Year's Eve.
"Thank you all for your hard work this year. Eat and drink well today. I'll have to trouble you again next year. I'll drink first!" Zhou Dongsheng was not shy and started to toast with a glass of bright red iced Coca-Cola.
It’s red and foreign, so it’s foreign liquor, there’s nothing wrong with it!
Of course, because Zhou Dongsheng doesn't drink, and the others have responsibilities to fulfill, no matter how gentle and easy-going Zhou Dongsheng is, they have to perform their duties conscientiously and not take advantage of him.
For this reason, everyone tacitly agreed not to drink alcohol, but instead followed suit and drank Coca-Cola.
Even without good wine to accompany the meal, this table full of delicacies from land and sea is enough for everyone to enjoy a hearty meal.
In a joyful atmosphere, the New Year's Eve dinner was a great success for both the host and the guests, with everyone having a smile on their face.
Enjoy life to the fullest when you are happy. We can deal with anything else after the New Year.
After enjoying the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhou Dongsheng personally took charge of the situation and had tea and chat with everyone. Zhou Dongsheng also enjoyed himself very much, feeling relaxed physically and mentally, and feeling comfortable all over.
Zhou Dongsheng seemed relaxed, but Li Jiana next to him was extremely busy. She had to work overtime to help Zhou Dongsheng forward New Year greetings text messages to some business bosses he dealt with.
As for the small group of people with whom he had a close personal relationship, Zhou Dongsheng had already conveyed his thoughts to them.
During this happy Spring Festival, almost everyone chooses to stay with their family, whether it is Mr. Duan who is far away on the other side of the ocean, or Ding Sanshi and others.
Given the deep friendship Zhou Dongsheng has with these people now, it would be enough as long as the intention is there. After all, there is no need to waste time doing it now.
When it is close to midnight, Chinese girls from all over the world are keeping watch on the time, ready to join in the countdown to the New Year.
This remaining sense of ritual may be the last lingering taste of the New Year.
As for Zhou Dongsheng, he was naturally generous and specially asked someone to purchase a large number of fireworks and firecrackers.
It’s New Year’s Day and I don’t have anything special to show you, so I’ll just invite my fellow villagers to watch a fireworks display.
The news that Zhou Dongsheng was returning home in glory and preparing to set off fireworks spread by word of mouth, and naturally some people gathered around, waiting to watch the fireworks together.
"Boss, the fireworks outside are ready, just waiting for you to light them. And it's almost time now, it's almost 12 o'clock."
After the bodyguards finished their New Year's Eve dinner, they started to busy themselves with "arms". For them who had just retired from the army and found a new job, this was their old profession.
"Great!" Zhou Dongsheng also became interested after hearing this.
With his hands behind his back, he strolled out of the gate and immediately saw that the open space in front of the gate was filled with fireworks arranged in an orderly manner, which looked a bit like an artillery position.
As for the two large Laogans, they had naturally already been moved and parked on the side of the road. Otherwise, if they had set off fireworks and set the cars on fire, it would have been really fun.
At this time, many neighbors who heard the news gathered together. Many of them had watched Zhou Dongsheng grow up. They were not unfamiliar when they saw Zhou Dongsheng, and they greeted each other with a smile.
"Everyone wish for the New Year! (meaning may your wishes come true)" Zhou Dongsheng shouted loudly, and then said "ignite" at the right time.
The bodyguards were already ready to go. The moment they heard the order, their muscle memory was triggered. They started to light the fireworks in unison, and ignited them one by one through the series of fuses.
The grand spectacle of dozens of fireworks being fired in all directions is enough to express Zhou Dongsheng's full sincerity in wishing his fellow villagers a happy New Year.
As the first row of fireworks were launched in unison, the second row followed closely, and then the third row, the sounds of "bang bang bang" and "whoosh whoosh whoosh" were heard incessantly.
Then, gorgeous fireworks exploded in the sky, including red, yellow, green, blue, purple and so on.
As the fireworks exploded, the pointer officially pointed to zero, and flowers began to bloom everywhere in the sky. For a moment, the sky seemed to have become a garden full of splendor and beauty. One flower after another took the stage, and together they painted a picture of the sky.
The first day of the Lunar New Year 2018 has arrived, can 2019 be far behind?
No matter where we are, we are all under the same starry sky. Looking up at the sky, a sentence seems to echo in our hearts at the same time.
"Happy New Year!"
Zhou Dongsheng didn't look away until he felt his neck was sore and swollen when he looked up. No matter what, this year was over, and the next step was to look forward to the new year.
But before that, you should get a good sleep first. After all, only if you get a good sleep on the first day of the New Year can you be prosperous from the beginning to the end.
Zhou Dongsheng yawned and went home. At this time, the fireworks were basically over. Although the nightlife had just begun, it was obviously not attractive to Zhou Dongsheng now.
Zhou Dongsheng, who was relaxed, fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. He slept until noon the next day. No one disturbed his sweet dream and he slept until he woke up naturally.
It is often said that there is no need to sleep for a long time when you are alive, because you will sleep forever after death. However, only when you get older do you realize that even getting a good night's sleep has become a luxury.
Therefore, when it comes to sleeping, you have to do it while you are young. The more sleep you can get, the better. Sleep as much as you can, no matter whether it is meat or vegetables (funny).
After all, life doesn't last forever, so don't be stingy with the money to buy wine by your bedside.
After washing up, Zhou Dongsheng felt refreshed from the inside out, and then he slowly went downstairs.
Usually no one comes to wish a happy new year this early in the morning, especially for those who have been partying all night, as morning is the time to catch up on some sleep.
Coupled with the fact that the economy has basically come to a standstill, the morning of New Year's Day may be the quietest time of the year.
Of course, Zhou Dongsheng was the only one in the family who could sleep in with peace of mind. The others had their duties to do. Some stood guard all night, while others got up early to take over shifts. Everything was in order.
As for the old mother, she slept less due to her age, so she got up early in the morning. Li Jiana naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, and also got up early to accompany her.
When Zhou Dongsheng went downstairs, the two were happily cracking melon seeds and chatting about family matters.
"Are you up? I hope our chat didn't disturb you?" Liu's mother asked cheerfully.
"The chairman has a very good sleep quality, so he shouldn't be disturbed." Li Jiana agreed with a smile.
However, when these words came out, Liu's mother couldn't help but reveal an old mother's smile. However, this was already a tacit fact. After all, a young and promising young man and a beautiful woman, the two of them lived together day and night, and they were passionate about each other...
If nothing was said, Liu Huaiying would probably not even believe it himself.
But... no matter how much she urged, Liu's mother obviously would not easily make decisions for Zhou Dongsheng. After all, with Zhou Dongsheng's ability, she obviously didn't need to worry about it.
Zhou Dongsheng didn't care at all. After all, he already had complete control over the right to speak in this small family...
However, at this moment, there was an inappropriate noise coming from outside the door.
"It's New Year's Day, who is this?" Liu Huaiying asked curiously and wanted to get up to check.
Lao Qin was already walking in from outside, "Chairman, there's a man outside who claims to be your father..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the living room instantly dropped to freezing point.
