Chapter 978 -415 Lv Hui Regretted

While Yang Lijuan was mumbling to herself, wondering how to spend the money, she kept chiming in, saying, “This money is what my son earned. Those poor relatives from your family wanting to borrow money? No way!”

Zhou Guobin wasn’t as optimistic. He was about to fall asleep with his eyes closed when the noise from his wife woke him up. He frowned and said, “Who knows if it’s true or not. Why are you taking it so seriously? Just call your son and ask him in the morning, won’t you find out then?”

Only then did Yang Lijuan remember, that’s right. She unexpectedly took Aunt Zhou’s few casual words seriously.

This news was indeed bewildering. Although Yang Lijuan had been married to Zhou Guobin for years without living off scraps, they weren’t wealthy either. So suddenly hearing about her son earning sixty million was certainly enough to keep her from sleeping.

It wasn’t until five or six o’clock in the morning, when the sky began to lighten, that Yang Lijuan finally managed to fall asleep.

By seven o’clock, Zhou Guobin got up for work. Seeing his wife soundly asleep, he didn’t disturb her. Zhou Guobin appeared indifferent to such matters; if he couldn’t withstand this level of temptation, he wouldn’t have held his position for so long. Having worked for so many years, he had such self-control.

He changed into his black work suit, grabbed his briefcase, and went off to work as usual.

Upon arriving at the office, whether it was the guard or the new young staff, everyone would respectfully greet Zhou Guobin as “Inspector Zhou.”

Zhou Guobin slightly nodded and then entered his own office.

Soon, a few young staff gathered together, looking at the newly released news on the website, talking about the internet’s new sensation, a business prodigy; Xianlin Takeout got acquired by Baidu for sixty million.

Zhou Yuwen’s photo wearing a suit vividly appeared on the page.

“Hey, is this really Inspector Zhou’s son? How come Inspector Zhou doesn’t show any expression?”

“What do you know? What kind of person do you think Inspector Zhou is? He’s long since practiced keeping a straight face even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him.”

“But wow, you guys didn’t mention, how handsome Inspector Zhou’s son is!”

“Ha, you’re smitten? Tough luck, you don’t stand a chance; take a look at your age!”

“What do you mean, just old cows can eat young grass but old grass can’t eat young cows, huh?”

“Come off it, Lin Huahua, you’re almost thirty, dear!”

By the morning, someone had come over to ask Zhou Guobin to sign some papers. During the signing process, that person carefully observed Zhou Guobin’s expression but found Zhou Guobin really didn’t show much emotion.

Until an old colleague from the courtyard swaggered in.

“Hey! Old Zhou! You absolutely have to treat us to dinner tonight!”

“Good for you, Old Zhou! You’ve kept it hidden pretty deep, raising such an excellent son!”

These old guys didn’t necessarily hold higher positions than Zhou Guobin within the office, but they were long-time colleagues, so their relationships were somewhat close. Plus, some had been fighting on the frontline for years, speaking more straightforwardly.

While Zhou Guobin, frequently working in the office, carried himself with some airs. He asked with a puzzled face, “What’s going on? Why do I have to treat you to a meal?”

“Hey, are you pretending with us?”

“Exactly, your son made it to the news, aren’t you going to make a gesture? You’re so stingy!”

Honestly, if they hadn’t brought up Zhou Yuwen, Zhou Guobin would have forgotten last night’s matter. After their reminder, Zhou Guobin suddenly realized, was what Aunt said last night true?

“What news?”

“He’s really putting on an act.”

An old colleague from the frontline picked up his smartphone, sent the news to Zhou Guobin, letting him see for himself.

Then Zhou Guobin believed it, his son indeed looked different in a suit.

But he could still recognize him.

The bold, black-highlighted sixty-million figure was clear to see.

This kid.

Really…

At this moment, the corners of Zhou Guobin’s mouth finally showed a hint of a smile.

Everyone immediately huddled around Zhou Guobin and playfully poked his chest, saying you, kid, keep grinning secretly!

“Raised such a good son!”

“Quickly decide where we’ll dine tonight!”

Everyone chimed in one after another.

No matter what, such an event requires a proper celebration.

Zhou Guobin came to his senses, signaled everyone to quiet down, saying this is easy.

Having such a big thing happen really calls for a celebration.

“Tonight I’ll have your sister-in-law cook a few extra dishes, come to our house, no one leaves until they’re drunk.”

At this point, Zhou Guobin was truly happy, although what he said left people speechless, saying you are as miserly as ever! freewebnoveℓ.com

Your son earned sixty million, yet you suggest going home to cook some dishes?

Do you hear yourself talking like a human being?

But Zhou Guobin defended himself, saying it’s his son’s money, not mine.

I can’t make a mistake, can I?

“Hey! Spending your son’s money is making a mistake?”

The crowd playfully bantered; normally, Zhou Guobin was quite serious at the office, so such a relaxed atmosphere was rarely seen.

Especially in situations like this, the young staff from his department even managed to join in the fun, though Zhou Guobin unusually skipped a meal.

The old colleagues took the lead, and the young colleagues made a fuss.

Zhou Guobin couldn’t escape and had to say, alright, let’s book a table at Wangyue Building today.

“One table? How can one table be enough? We should book at least seven or eight tables! Invite all our brothers from the courtyard!”
