Was Aquaman’s ex-husband cremated today?

Chapter 144: It might have been dropped by the magician

The stand-up comedy on the stage was almost over, so the host asked everyone to take a group photo.

Zhou Yongan stood beside her, put his slender fingers on her soft waist, and pulled her close to him.

Some bank employees who don't use the internet expressed strange doubts: "What are they doing? Isn't that a pose for couples to take photos?"

The person next to him explained the relationship between the two people on the stage.

Those who didn't know the truth had a look of astonishment: "Is this true? I was wondering why the host just said inexplicably, 'The clothes are for Madam Zhou.'"

Another host from the branch looked at the two standing together and couldn't help but exclaimed: "They are both talented and beautiful. Such a small probability event can actually happen. How can this not be considered a match made in heaven?"

Below, the old lady looked at the harmonious appearance of the two people, sighed in her heart, and turned her head to look at the daughter of the Datata Group.

"What do you think of our Yong'an?" the old lady asked in a neither loud nor soft voice.

The female Zhao smiled calmly and maintained her composure, saying, "The second young master is humorous and funny. If he doesn't mind, we can be friends."

The old lady laughed and turned the round plate on the table: "Miss Zhao, try the paper-wrapped fish here. It's spicy. You are young, so this should be the flavor you like."

Mrs. Zhao looked at the dish in front of her and picked up the chopsticks on the table with a smile: "Of course, I love spicy food. Madam, have you tried lotus seed soup? I'll help you get some."

Seeing the old lady nod, Ms. Zhao reached out to pick up the bowl in front of the old lady, stood up and reached for the spoon.

Wu Gangsheng, who had been wandering around the main table, finally felt a little hungry. Seeing that Vice President Zhou and Director Wen had gone to the stage, he turned back to his seat and quickly ate two bites.

After Li Qingwen took the photo and left the stage, he leaned on Zhou Yongan and asked, "How did you really win the lottery?"

Isn't this blatant cheating?

Zhou Yongan refused to admit it and said, "I was just lucky."

"How did you do that?" It's okay to fool a kid.

"I just found your paper among thousands of balls of paper." He continued to pretend to be ignorant.

I don't want to talk to him anymore.

When the two passed by the main table, Li Qingwen asked him to return to his seat. After Zhou Yongan told her not to drink anymore, he returned to his seat.

When Ms. Zhao saw him coming back, she couldn't help but raise her lips and said, "Bankers hate cheating the most. If the second young master openly lets this low-probability event happen to him, he will be criticized."

Zhou Yongan put his hands on the table, his eyes frankly: "Rules are always made by a few people, no matter how much you say, it can't change the facts."

The female Zhao shook her head and smiled. In the past, King You of Zhou played tricks on the princes with beacons, and in the future, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang smiled at his concubine because of a grain of red dust. There have been stories since ancient times that men would waste money and even ruin their foundation in order to create temporary romance for women.

Can the word love really drive people so crazy?

Miss Lu, who was sitting next to the main table, had been staring at the main table for a long time. Seeing Ms. Zhao whispering with Zhou Yongan, she also had an idea and walked over to Zhou Yongan with a glass of wine.

"Second Master, you are so lucky today. How come you didn't pick me? I can get hundreds of thousands by just clearing my shopping cart with one click." Ms. Lu said, "It would be fine if we split it in half."

Zhou Yongan raised his eyes and asked, "Ms. Lu, are you enjoying your meal?"

Ms. Lu is used to doing things her own way, and she answered every question: "I enjoyed the meal, but is the seating chart arranged like this? The corporate representatives around me seemed to want to eat me up, asking me to invest in this and that one by one."

The old lady sitting nearby seemed somewhat embarrassed, but she pretended not to hear and her eyes were fixed on her eldest grandson Zhou Xixiang.

His eldest grandson has devoted all his energy to Huayu for three years, running between the company and clients every day without even having time to rest. It's really heartbreaking.

After the annual meeting, Li Qingwen sent his grandmother to the car and then returned to the venue to help clean up.

Inside the venue, apart from the two hard-working hosts who were simply filling their stomachs, everyone else who hadn't left was collecting their props.

Xiao Jian from the Administration Department took the lottery box and put his hand in pretending to try his luck, but when he reached in, he pulled out a soft silicone finger glove.

"Why is there a finger?" Xiao Jian asked others in confusion.

The others took a look and casually said, "It might have been dropped by the magician."

Zhou Yongan saw off the guests outside.

Old Liang left late and pulled Zhou Yongan aside to chat: "You kid, you are doing the opposite of your grandma, but you really have the style of your grandpa back then."

"Uncle Liang, it has to be you. Remember grandpa. Just now I saw everyone at the table came to support grandma, but few people mentioned grandpa." Zhou Yongan felt sad. His grandfather was obviously the first founder of the Zhou Group, but he was forgotten like this.

Lao Liang smiled and said, "How could I forget? Who founded this country? It was your grandfather. This is an ironclad fact. Everyone is just giving face to the old lady, and they are afraid that mentioning your grandfather will make her sad. Don't think too much about it."

Zhou Yongan knew whether this was the case or not. Rather than showing off his grandfather's great achievements, his grandmother seemed to be more concerned with becoming famous.

Lao Liang asked, "Do you really plan to stay at Huayu Bank? You were doing well in investment banking before."

Lao Liang was the only major shareholder of Huayu Bank who respected him, and Zhou Yongan didn't mind opening his heart to him.

"Huayu Bank has my big brother at the helm, and everyone is assured. I am at most the icing on the cake. Just like what Uncle Liang said, if I want to keep pace with my big brother, I have to find another way."

Lao Liang said hurriedly: "That's not what I meant. You can stay in Huayu Bank as long as you want."

Zhou Yongan suddenly remembered something: "Uncle Liang, why did Huayu suddenly buy back the original shares?"

If the purpose is just to send a positive signal to the market, now is not a good time.

Lao Liang: "The company has great potential for development. Your father probably wants to keep the money in his hands."

Zhou Yongan didn't think so. This reason was too shallow and not enough for his father to bother with it.

Not long after Lao Liang left, Li Qingwen came out carrying two gift boxes.

Leaving the noisy place and sitting in the quiet car, Li Qingwen took out his mobile phone, looked up the phone book, and called the village chief in his hometown.

it is true.

The demolition is real.

Village chief Li said he didn't save her phone number and was waiting for her to come back during the Chinese New Year to tell her.

Li Qingwen said, "Are you all going to leave? Then our village will be gone, right?"

Village Chief Li said, "We can't choose. More than half of the people agree. We can only obey the majority. Those who own houses in the city basically agree. I thought you agreed too."

Li Qingwen didn't say anything else. She was in a depressed mood after hanging up the phone. What she cared about was always the word hometown. If Lijia Village was disbanded, she would have no place to return to in the future.

"You also heard what Mr. Zhang said, it was grandma who was behind the scenes fanning the flames. I will soon lose my hometown..."

She rested her head on Zhou Yongan's shoulder and said with certainty: "As long as we are together, grandma will not stop."
