Chapter 150 The Zhou Family

Lotus City.

Send someone under the fence.

I've experienced what it's like.

The Zhou family was the first to cut my flesh by splitting up the intelligent computing center project.

Zhou Minyi sat down next to me apologetically. There were some things she could help with, but there were some things that were not up to her.

"Tianyi, how is the computing center project progressing?"

"The project should be completed before the Lunar New Year, and the equipment can be brought in after the holiday, at which point it can be put into use."

Zhou Ren brought the brewed tea to me.

"Make preparations these next few days. It's Grandpa's birthday, so you'll come with us to the provincial capital."

"Really, Uncle!"

Zhou Minyi was quite surprised.

"Your aunt has told your parents Tianyi's story tirelessly."

After Zhou Ren finished speaking, Zhou Minyi's face turned a little pale. She hadn't spent much time with her parents, not even as much as her uncle in front of her.

"It's okay, I'm here."

As a man, I had to stand up.

Zhou Ren glanced at him sideways: "Do you think you're all that great now, capable of holding up the sky?"

I shook my head: "Of course not, it's just a false prosperity. Even now, the Chen family could crush me with a single word."

"It's good that you understand."

Don't be afraid of people getting arrogant, because if they do, they'll get hurt!

Although the Chen family was defeated, their ability to protect themselves and re-establish themselves in the provincial capital demonstrates their strength.

That's why I accepted the offer from the Chen family without hesitation when Wu Lei extended an olive branch to me.

The matter has already been made so clearly.

I might as well take the initiative.

"Uncle, what are your thoughts on the future of the computing power industry?"

"I don't understand, this is your world as young people. But I see that people in the provincial capital value this aspect quite a lot."

Is this a sign?

Could it be that Zhou Ren knows something?

"The Shen family is just starting out, and the computing power project is a huge pie that I definitely can't hold onto on my own. I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Although I invested in the computing center, it was an enterprise that my uncle brought back from Shanghai through investment promotion. It is essentially a company with the Zhou family's name on it. Therefore, I plan to sell some shares. Of course, this is a way of giving back to the Zhou family and thanking my uncle for his help all this time."

"At least you have some conscience."

"However, I have another request, and I hope you won't mind."

"Go ahead and say it."

"Between the Chen family and me, it's better to resolve the feud than to let it fester. If the Chen family were to fall completely, I would have no worries. But now that the Chen family has established itself in the provincial capital, and the Shen family rose from the corpse of the Chen family in Liancheng, if I were to expand upwards, I would inevitably have to fight the Chen family in the provincial capital. In business, there's no such thing as a fight to the death. Therefore, I plan to allocate a portion of the computing center project to the Chen family in exchange for their last remaining assets in Liancheng, which would be a dignified end to our feud."

Zhou Ren did not answer.

I know he's considering it.

As the largest acquirer of the Chen family's business, the Zhou family actually preferred to completely destroy the Chen family's business in Liancheng.

When two cities fight, innocent bystanders are also harmed.

The Zhou family will surely win.

But the Shen family, which I have worked so hard to build, is probably about to be ruined by the Chen family.

After all, the NT Industrial Park has been transferred, but the Chen family's land has fallen through, and the 2800 million yuan debt from HG Municipal's vehicle-to-water conversion is also inextricably linked.

Hopefully, Zhou Ren will understand this point for Zhou Minyi's sake.

"Your affair with the Chen family is indeed a knot in the knot. Why not take advantage of the old man's birthday to resolve it all at once?"

"Will this work?"

I was quite surprised; I never expected Zhou Ren to help me like this.

"Why not? You've already shown your hand. It's no big deal for you to appear as the Shen family's son-in-law. As for the rest, do what you want. Replace what needs to be replaced, and learn about what needs to be learned. Since the Chen family has left Liancheng, they can't come back. The Chen family can get involved in the computing center project, but it must be under the Zhou family's control."

I understand what you mean.

Under my control is tantamount to being under the control of the Zhou family.

Absolute control has been secured.

three days later.

set off.

The Zhou family was numerous and powerful; four vans and more than 20 people drove in a grand procession to the provincial capital.

I was driving my little Maybach, with Zhou Minyi in the passenger seat.

In the back row is Zhou Hui, Minyi's aunt.

There's also Liu Xuan, the son of his aunt's husband, Liu Weicheng.

"Auntie, hasn't Uncle come home yet?"

"He flew back this morning and should have seen your grandfather by now. He'll leave after celebrating his birthday."

"So rushed."

"Things in Shanghai will be busy for a while longer."

I met Zhou Hui's aunt once, on the day the equity agreement for the Golden Chain Store was signed.

"Is this Tianyi's first time meeting Nuonuo's parents?"

"No, it's my aunt. I met her once in high school."

Zhou Hui was taken aback. High school? That was more than ten years ago. Back then, her second brother was the police chief of Liancheng City, right?

I explained with a smile, "Back then, Nuonuo and I were classmates. When her aunt and uncle came to pick her up from school, they gave me a ride along the way."

A smile flashed across Zhou Hui's face. She and her husband, Liu Weicheng, were classmates and had gone through many ups and downs together. It hadn't been easy. I had heard a lot of my story from Zhou Ren and felt that I was very similar to Liu Weicheng.

So, she still has feelings for me.

Zhou Minyi in the car was no longer the carefree person she used to be; she was now as quiet as a kitten.

Fear of intimacy?

Zhou Hui: "Nuonuo, don't worry, your aunt will support you. Tianyi is very talented, just give him some more time."

Thank you for your compliment, Auntie...

provincial capital.

manor.

Despite living in such a wealthy city, the elderly still prefer the rural environment.

This manor is similar in style to a farmhouse.

Just arrived, haven't rested yet.

"Let's go, let's go straight to see the old man."

We rarely hear stories about Mr. Zhou.

The manor is a house with a simple and rustic style, more like the traditional courtyard houses with ridges in Liancheng in earlier years.

The old man was inside, and two or three people in the courtyard were chatting together, just like during the New Year. They hadn't seen each other for a year, and everyone wanted to catch up.

There must be at least a hundred people standing in this big courtyard.

Not all of them are from the Zhou family.

There were also maternal relatives.

There are also students.

For example, Feng Hong, the newly appointed director of the Liancheng City Finance Bureau, came out of the main hall with Liu Weicheng, Zhou Ren, and a familiar-looking man.

"dad!"

Zhou Minyi's voice pulled me back to my memories.

This person is Zhou Minyi's father, Zhou Fan, the current deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department.

Zhou Minyi took my hand and led me step by step to Zhou Fan.

Zhou Fan was dressed in a suit, with a tall and straight figure and sword-like eyebrows. He exuded an imposing presence without being angry, and his aura was undeniable, befitting someone in the public security force.

"Uncle. Uncle-in-law."

Proper manners are essential.

Liu Weicheng remained silent.

Zhou Fan stared at me intently: "Kid, the last time we met was in our senior year of high school, right?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Fan nodded: "That's right, let's go in and offer our birthday greetings."
