Chapter 118 Stress Response
Chapter 118 Stress Response
The place where Pei Shi was originally standing was a blind spot. Zhou Tonglin did not see him, but he could see everything clearly.
Zhou Niantang ran towards her father, took his hand and acted coquettishly, and then was surrounded by a group of people and got into the car.
This was the impression he had of Zhou Niantang.
She is spoiled, likes to act like a spoiled brat, and reasonably enjoys the support and love from others.
In short, he is not the Zhou Niantang who doesn’t say anything when he is uncomfortable and endures the pain in his feet.
He sighed and leaned over to get into the back seat of the car in front.
Xiao Liu, who was standing next to him, noticed that his boss had been sighing quite a lot recently...
After returning to the company office, Qian Jin followed Pei Shi into the office to report.
"Jin Wenshan returned to South Asia two hours ago. I heard that Chen Beilong provoked one of his men and caused quite a stir."
Pei Shi nodded in understanding.
Several major families in South Asia are now fighting fiercely for territory, while on the other hand, they are also thinking about breaking out of this small country in South Asia and seeking development abroad.
Pei Shi only needs to use a little trick, take out some of his relatively profitable industries in country R, and cooperate with them separately, so that they can fight more fiercely for face and money.
Jin Wenshan is right. The rules in South Asia are not about laws, but about what they call the rules of the underworld.
Pei Shi took advantage of this and the irreconcilable relationship between him and several major families, forcing Jin Wenshan to return to South Asia.
At least in the short term, he will not appear in Country A.
"Also, the auction for the land in the northern suburbs will be at 10 a.m. tomorrow. I heard that Zhou's company changed the bidding price today. Should we also change it?"
"No, just follow the original plan."
Pei Shi has always known Zhou Yunqi's abilities and methods, and her style of doing things is no less ruthless than his own.
Putting aside the hatred, Zhou Yunqi is an opponent who is worth spending all his energy on.

Zhou Niantang returned home and happily had dinner with his old father. He thought Zhou Yunqi would also come back, but he heard that she had a very important meeting tomorrow and would not go home until it was over tomorrow.
Zhou Niantang felt a little regretful. After experiencing unhappy things outside, he just wanted to go home and be with his family.
But she quickly adjusted herself, supervised her old father taking blood pressure medicine, and returned to her room.
When Yun Zhi heard that she was back, she asked her to find time to go to her place for dinner and said that she had something important to discuss with her.
Zhou Niantang wondered if it was related to Pei Shi, like the two of them were together or something.
Thinking of this, she couldn't hide her excitement and immediately agreed to go find her the next day.
But when she put down her phone, she couldn't help but think of what happened in the car before.
That strong feeling of guilt came back again.
Although he knew that it was a helpless reaction under emergency, as long as he thought that Pei Shi was destined to be a couple with Yun Zhi, and Yun Zhi was his good friend.
She felt a little sorry for Yun Zhi.
In particular, she clearly understood that she did not resist Pei Shi's embrace, which made her feel sorry for Yun Zhi.
After tossing and turning in bed and rolling herself up like a spring roll, she suddenly came to her senses.
Forget it, there’s no need to dwell on this. They are destined to be a couple anyway, so as a little cannon fodder, I should just applaud and throw flowers.
Moreover, she and Pei Shi will no longer have any interactions. If there is any, it will be hostility.
After figuring it out, she quickly started to get busy with other things.
The next day, she slept until almost noon.
When she was having breakfast and lunch together, Aunt Zhang and Uncle Sun were standing next to her, looking at her with an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Zhou Niantang knew what they wanted to say, but she had already explained it clearly to Aunt Zhang on the phone.
The looks in their eyes were so blunt that she could only put down her chopsticks and said bluntly, "Oh, stop worrying about it. We're really not together, not together, not together!"
"It's the situation I told Aunt Zhang about that day. You don't have to try to persuade me, because it didn't happen in the first place. Now that I'm back home, there's no intersection."
The two people standing there breathed a sigh of relief. They knew Zhou Niantang very well and knew that she was not lying.
I hadn’t seen her in person before, so I didn’t know whether what she said was true or not. Now that I have seen it, I believe it.
Afraid that she would think they were meddling in her affairs, Aunt Zhang explained in a low voice: "We're also worried that you'll be cheated."
Zhou Niantang was a little puzzled. When Pei Shi lived at home before, Aunt Zhang and Uncle Sun were both nice to him. Why do they think he is not a good person now?
Of course she couldn't understand, but they also knew that Pei Shi was pitiful, and there was nothing wrong in helping him within their ability.
But after all, they have a deep relationship with Zhou Niantang, and the current situation is indeed not right, so they have to worry about whether the scheming Pei Shi wants to use Zhou Niantang.
Originally Zhou Niantang wanted to ask why, but when he saw other servants coming over, he had to give up.
The servant who came was Aunt Zhuo, who had a feud with Zhou Niantang before.
Ever since Zhou Niantang humiliated her a few years ago, Aunt Zhuo has hated Zhou Niantang even more.
Not only did she work as a maid in the Zhou family, she also received several thousand yuan from Bai Zhi every month, so naturally she was biased towards the Bai family.
She came over with the phone and said to Sun Bo, "Madam will be here later."
The word "Madam" left the three people at the table unable to react for a moment.
Zhou Niantang felt uncomfortable when she heard this. She put down the spoon and looked at Aunt Zhuo calmly: "Is my mother coming back to life, or is my father going to marry me a stepmother?"
Aunt Zhang knew that because of his childhood experiences, Zhou Niantang would have a stress reaction whenever Bai Zhi was mentioned in the family, even if she was the mother of the eldest daughter.
Uncle Sun immediately corrected Aunt Zhuo's address: "Just call her Ms. Bai."
Speaking of which, the title of Ms. Bai was an order issued by Zhou Tonglin. At that time, he knew that his little daughter was bullied by this shrew, and he banned Bai Zhi from entering the house. Until now, this ban has not been lifted.
Aunt Zhuo was indignant, but she didn't dare to argue. Among the people present, one was the host and two were people with higher positions than her, so she really couldn't say anything.
But Bai Zhi promised her a benefit and asked her to make sure Zhou Yunqi could meet her today.
"Bai, Ms. Bai said she would come over to see the eldest lady today."
Zhou Niantang lost her appetite. She put down her chopsticks and said to Aunt Zhang, "I have a dinner date with a friend tonight, so I won't be back for dinner."
Aunt Zhang agreed and reminded her that she couldn't eat spicy food, and the two of them walked out of the restaurant while talking.
If possible, Zhou Niantang didn't want that woman Bai Zhi to set foot here again, but she was Zhou Yunqi's mother, so she had to take this into consideration.
Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.
But she also knew that Bai Zhi probably wouldn't be able to get in because her old father was at home for the past two days. If she wanted to get in, she would have to get through Zhou Tonglin.
