Chapter 1349 Zhou Haoyu’s Call
"Well, okay, I will try my best to come, but the hospital business has been very good recently, so I am really too busy. You have to understand that I can't come back. My smart, virtuous and understanding wife, is it okay for me to ask this?" Qi Yao laughed softly.
Shiqi patted her chest generously and said, "Okay, no problem. I'm a good wife and mother. Qiyaojun, go to work and earn money for milk powder. Bye."
Seventeen held the doll in one hand, blew him a kiss with the other, then turned and left.
Miss Zhuang's early pregnancy period had passed, and she was living a comfortable life. She ate well and slept well all day long. When she had nothing to do, she would go to the Zhuangmen Post Station to play with Mu Xiaonv. Basically, Miss Zhuang Shiqi treated Mu Xiaonv as an object of her pleasure. That girl was not easy to deal with, but her temper was really good.
But Seventeen was deliberately provoking Mu Xiaonv. She felt very happy just seeing Mu Xiaonv rolling her eyes. In short, she was very happy and loved to laugh more than ever. Moreover, her sense of humor had inexplicably become lower. This, this, well, it was inexplicable. Anyway, she was currently in a state of excitement all day long. She would definitely be very excited when the baby was born.
Qi Yao drove back to the hospital and asked An to help him contact a top lawyer. It was the Zhou family who started to target him, and he resisted out of self-protection.
Zhou's Cosmetics Company produced products that exceeded the standards and pushed them to its partners for use, causing the other parties to suffer multiple economic, reputational, and credit losses. The compensation amount is no small amount.
A week later, the case went to court.
Qi Yao finally saw the man behind the scenes, Zhou Haoyu. He was still wearing a baseball cap and all black. Hats were required to be removed in court, and Qi Yao saw Zhou Haoyu's face beneath the black baseball cap.
That face was still young, still with clear outlines, and still had the ability to make women obsessed. When he turned his face in profile, Qi Yao saw the scar on Zhou Haoyu's face. A line ran down from the side of his face and disappeared into the black clothes. It must be the mark of surgery.
Qi Yao knew that Zhou Haoyu had chosen to restore his face first, and it looked like it was recovering well. Even the scar on the left side of his face didn't detract much from his appearance. Instead, he looked less frivolous and more mature.
Qi Yao was calm and composed. He had nothing to fear. No matter how the opposing lawyer argued, he would not be able to put the cart before the horse.
As the court session opened, on the top floor of the Tengfei Building, Zhuang Zhoucheng called Zai'an's internal line and said, "Come in."
Zai An immediately appeared and stood respectfully in front of the desk, "Master, please give your orders."
"How's the situation with Qi Yao?" Zhuang Zhoucheng asked casually, not seeming to care much.
"The court is hearing the case, but I believe there will be no problem. Lawyer Jin has a great chance of winning." An responded truthfully.
Zhuang Zhoucheng replied calmly after a long while, "Go out."
Not everything required his intervention; the younger generation also had to learn to handle things on their own. He didn't want his children to be like the descendants of the Zhuang family's relatives, who would immediately come to him with any problems. He, Zhuang Zhoucheng, was not a savior, responsible for solving everyone's problems.
When something happens, you have to find a way to solve it yourself first, instead of relying on others for help. Once this dependent mentality is formed, it will be difficult to change.
He is now at this age. Life is full of possibilities and unknowns. He may die one day. If on that day, his children are still just a group of independent people, can he die in peace?
The biggest taboo for anyone who wants to be independent is relying on a mountain. If you have a mountain to lean on, the first thing you do when you encounter any problem is to ask for help instead of saving yourself. This is not okay. No one will pay for your mistakes and your life. Even this mountain has its own problems to solve.
In reality, Third Master Zhuang wasn't entirely satisfied with Qi Yao, his new son-in-law. He appreciated Kou Quan, but he was far from being the son-in-law of the Zhuang family. At least the boy had his own strengths, even though he grew up in the Zhuang family, without relying on any of them. He was independent, intelligent, enthusiastic, calm, and responsible—all reasons enough to entrust his daughter to him.
If one day, the big banker is gone, the former Zhou Haoyu would panic about the uncertain future, but if it were Qi Yao, he would still live his life in an orderly manner.
Qi Yao came out of the court, feeling relaxed.
Qi Yao called Shiqi and told her that he would be there soon. Shiqi kept talking about irrelevant things in a very excited mood until she was tired of talking and hung up the phone.
During the time the phone call was made, Qi Yao had already returned to the hospital, sorted out the customer and product information, and was ready to leave for his mother-in-law's house. But at this moment, the phone on the desk rang. Qi Yao had already walked out of the office, but he went back and answered it.
"Hello, this is S Medical Cosmetology and Micro-Plastic Surgery Hospital." Qi Yao said quickly.
"Doctor Qi, let's meet."
The voice on the other end was unfamiliar, but Qi Yao instantly imagined a face that looked somewhat similar to his own. "Mr. Zhou? Sorry, I'm very busy today..."
"It's about Kiki. If you, Doctor Qi, don't have time to see me, then I will go directly to Kiki. She should know that I'm back, right?" Zhou Haoyu smiled provocatively, and a sarcastic laugh came over.
I don't know if this voice was the result of a speech synthesizer or vocal cord repair surgery, but it's no longer the old and hoarse voice it once was. It's clear now, but different from his original voice three years ago.
Qi Yao's brows were knitted tightly together, and after a long while he finally said, "Okay!"
"Then see you at Times Square." Zhou Haoyu said.
Qi Yao was silent for a moment, then replied, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Yao stood in the office for a long time. Why would Zhou Haoyu ask him out? Why? He had asked him out so many times a week ago, and Zhou Haoyu had rejected him. So, was he asking him out today because he was unwilling to pay the compensation?
Qi Yao was guessing in his heart that Zhou Haoyu said it was about Qiqi, but Qi Yao didn't believe it. It was very likely about him. It was very likely that Zhou Haoyu would threaten him with the fact that he was Kou Quan, but...
Qi Yao turned and walked out of the office. He would know when he got there.
Qi Yao called Seventeen while driving the train, saying that he had a VVVVIP who had come over at short notice and that he had to personally attend to her, so he would be back to the bank later. As a new generation of good wife and mother, Seventeen would not make unreasonable demands and magnanimously agreed.
A bar in Times Square, with its chaotic dancing and explosive dance music every night, seems quite elegant and unique.
Qi Yao arrived and walked in to see Zhou Haoyu sitting at the bar waiting for him, "Hello."
Zhou Haoyu glanced at Qi Yao's hand and refused graciously.
