Chapter 712: Chapter 712: That’s My Brother Shen

Even though Zhao Gushen is not in Changping right now, many employees are still working overtime at the company.

If it appears insincere, and the employees spread it around, what if it reaches Zhao Gushen’s ears?

When it comes to matters related to Zhao Gushen, Zhuang Zhongyue feels that you can never be too careful.

"Alright, I’ll go to Changping and get the invitation letter right away." While saying this, Zhuang Zhongyue went to the door to change his shoes.

But he couldn’t keep his mouth shut: "Dad, oh Dad, look at this, look at this, now everything relies on your son, me."

Zhuang Wenhua: "..."

"Get out!" Zhuang Wenhua couldn’t stand Zhuang Zhongyue’s smug face.

Zhuang Zhongyue hurriedly rushed out of the house amidst Zhuang Wenhua’s outburst.

Zhuang Wenhua was bewildered.

That dog, Zhao Gushen, actually thinks Zhuang Zhongyue is not bad.

Could this be the legendary mutual appreciation among the same type?

Zhuang Zhongyue didn’t know that his own father had categorized him as a dog as well.

Happily, he arrived in Changping.

Coincidentally, Xiao Ruofeng was also working overtime today.

Having received word from Zhao Gushen, he prepared the invitation letter early.

Upon receiving a call from Zhuang Zhongyue, Xiao Ruofeng personally delivered it downstairs.

"Oh dear, having you personally deliver it down here is really embarrassing," Zhuang Zhongyue said politely, "I’m delaying your work."

Xiao Ruofeng was surprised in his heart; since when had Zhuang Zhongyue become so polite?

Zhuang Zhongyue had not been involved in the affairs of Zhuang’s Company, so in the workplace, Xiao Ruofeng had little chance to interact with him.

But from what he heard about Zhuang Zhongyue, it didn’t quite match the reality.

The things he heard about Zhuang Zhongyue were not just idle gossip or hearsay.

After all, although he hadn’t interacted with Zhuang Zhongyue, he knew people who had.

Many had firsthand experience with him.

Given Zhuang Zhongyue’s previous demeanor.

His friends weren’t lying.

But after being educated by Zhao Gushen, Zhuang Zhongyue became much more well-behaved.

He still played around as usual, but he became much more cautious.

Therefore, when Xiao Ruofeng saw it now, it seemed different from what he had heard.

In his heart, Xiao Ruofeng thought the saying "to hear is to be unsure, to see is to believe" really held true.

The ancients did not deceive me.

"No need," Xiao Ruofeng also replied courteously, "It’s no big deal, you’re being too polite."

Zhuang Zhongyue, after receiving the invitation, added: "I came to trouble you empty-handed, so I ordered some milk tea and cake for you all to enjoy. You’ve worked hard working overtime."

"Hold on a moment," not waiting for Xiao Ruofeng to say anything, Zhuang Zhongyue ran to the door and waved, "Come, bring it all in."

Just as he said this, he saw a small van slowly stop in front of the company.

The door opened, and three people got out, unloading boxes of milk tea and cake.

"I didn’t call many people over, afraid it would mess up the company’s order and cause trouble for you," Zhuang Zhongyue explained.

"You’re too kind," Xiao Ruofeng replied.

"Hey!" Zhuang Zhongyue waved a hand, "No need to be so formal with me! Don’t stand on ceremony!"

"Thank you very much," Xiao Ruofeng smiled, "I’ll have someone move it upstairs."

"No need, no need, don’t trouble yourself, I’ll have people deliver it upstairs in batches, save you some effort," Zhuang Zhongyue said.

"No, no, no." Xiao Ruofeng thought how strange it was for Zhuang Zhongyue to be so polite and considerate, making him feel a bit uneasy.

But in the end, Xiao Ruofeng couldn’t out-argue Zhuang Zhongyue and had him send the goods upstairs.

After a lot of courteous exchanges, Zhuang Zhongyue left with the invitation letter.

The question in Xiao Ruofeng’s heart remained unasked.

If he had asked, Zhuang Zhongyue would have surely told him: "You have no idea what I’ve been through."

***

While Zhuang Zhongyue was heading to Changping, the Liu family trio happened to visit the Zhuang family.

They just missed Zhuang Zhongyue.

When the Liu family trio entered, Mrs. Liu smiled and chit-chatted: "Sister, is Zhong Yue not around?"

"He just went out, didn’t you run into him?" Mrs. Zhuang called for snacks and tea to be served.

Unexpectedly not knowing why the Liu family trio came over so suddenly and all together.

During holidays, the two families visited each other, but Mrs. Liu visited more.

Occasionally, Liu Pingyuan would accompany her, but Liu Sixu was never seen.

Unexpectedly, today even Liu Sixu came along.

It must be said that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhuang, the two sisters, had pretty good relations before marriage.

Siblings often have quarrels, but being true sisters, their natural kinship could not be easily severed by any quarrel.

Like Ye Fei and Ye Ning, they are indeed rare.

But after marriage, having their own families, what they considered more was naturally their own small family.

Everyone prioritized the interests of their small family first.

Never mind the sisters’ families, even their parental home had to be prioritized after their own small family.

Especially after the sisters got married, they inevitably began to compare with each other.

In their younger days, they compared whom each married, the power of their family businesses.

After having children, they continued comparing their children’s achievements and abilities.

If the children were of different genders, it was fine; if the same, there was too much to compare.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhuang compared one another quite a bit.

Although neither Zhuang Zhongyue nor Liu Sixu was particularly impressive.

But at least Liu Sixu had a higher degree than Zhuang Zhongyue.

Usually, words like playboy were used more often on Zhuang Zhongyue.

Like this time, the invitation letters, the Liu family had them, the Zhuang family did not.

Mrs. Liu had boasted to Mrs. Zhuang early on.

Between the lines, it was all about how Zhuang Wenhua and Zhuang Zhongyue were incompetent, unable to even secure an invitation letter.

It infuriated Mrs. Zhuang.

Seeing their family of three tonight, Mrs. Zhuang thought they were here for a collective boasting session.

Mrs. Liu hesitantly shared the difficulties faced by the Liu family.

Only then did Mrs. Zhuang realize they weren’t here to flaunt.

But the matter was tough to handle.

When Zhao Gushen sets his sights on someone, how could they dare to help?

"This..." Mrs. Liu was troubled, turning to look at Zhuang Wenhua.

"Right, didn’t you say you didn’t have an invitation to the New Year’s Eve dinner?" Mrs. Liu said, "Lao Liu will get another one for you, it’s just an invitation letter, an easy matter."

Mrs. Zhuang had a calm expression.

When she flaunted before, why didn’t she offer to get them an invitation too?

Now that they needed help, she brought it up?

Originally, if the Liu family had trouble, they wouldn’t have ignored it.

But right now, the Liu family had upset someone significant.

That someone being Zhao Gushen.

Mrs. Zhuang said: "Don’t mention the invitation as if we’re only helping because of it."

"Actually, you have invitations, and Zhao Gushen will also be there. It’s better if you use this opportunity to reconcile with him," Mrs. Zhuang advised.
