"Actually, you don't have to thank me or anything."
Zhong Hao's voice paused slightly, and then continued: "Besides, it wasn't me who saved you in the end. If you really want to thank me, go and thank Xu Junshan."
What Zhong Hao said was indeed true. After the explosion, he had been in a state of healing. It was Xu Junshan who really rescued Bai Ziyi.
Of course, another point is that Zhong Hao does not want to accept Bai Ziyi's gratitude.
Because Bai Ziyi really doesn't need to thank him for what Zhong Hao did, it's very simple, because Bai Qi died in the hands of Zhong Hao.
No one else knew about this matter, and Bai Ziyi naturally didn't know it either. If Bai Ziyi knew about it, it would be true hatred.
"Also, get up. I don't want to talk in this way. If you don't like it, I'll leave right now." Zhong Hao added that he didn't want to be embarrassed by others. He, Zhong Hao, didn't do that.
interests and hobbies.
Bai Ziyi didn't insist on anything anymore. After listening to what Zhong Hao said, she stood up and said: "Sir, no matter what, I will keep this kindness in my heart. No matter whether you need my thanks or not,
If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you, sir."
Bai Ziyi said this very insistently, and this was also her real purpose of coming to see Zhong Hao this time. Apart from this, she didn't know how to repay Zhong Hao for saving her life.
If you really want to repay your kindness, you have already repaid it." Zhong Hao did not accept it, but continued: "For Guan Jin's matter, I, Zhong Hao, owe you a favor, which will be offset."
Guan Jin originally wanted to deal with Ye Junyan and deceive Ye Junyan out through Bai Ziyi, but Bai Ziyi did not agree and chose to tell Zhong Hao the news.
"But……"
Bai Ziyi did not expect that Zhong Hao would answer like this. However, Zhong Hao did not give her a chance to continue.
"Okay, Miss Bai, my patient is waiting for me. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Zhong Hao didn't mean to say anything more. It wasn't that Zhong Hao was unkind, but that he was unkind.
He didn't want to have any entanglement with Bai Ziyi.
After all, Bai Qi died in the hands of Zhong Hao, and Bai Ziyi is Bai Qi's sister. Even if Zhong Hao wants to treat some things as nothing happened, it is probably impossible.
Zhong Hao was even sure that if Bai Ziyi knew about it, her gratitude at the moment would turn into hatred in an instant. This is human nature and it would be the same no matter who she is.
Therefore, Zhong Hao could only keep some distance from Bai Ziyi, and it was basically impossible for anyone else to know about Bai Qi's affairs.
"Okay, then I won't bother you, but no matter what, I will keep Mr.'s kindness in my heart." After Bai Ziyi finished speaking, he bowed to Zhong Hao seriously, and then turned around.
left.
Looking at Bai Ziyi's disappearing back, Zhong Hao felt a slight headache.
Because it could be heard from Bai Ziyi's tone that she had no intention of offsetting that kindness.
However, Zhong Hao didn't think much about it. With Zhong Hao's current strength, Bai Ziyi probably wouldn't have a chance if he wanted to repay his kindness.
So under this situation, there is no need for Zhong Hao to take this matter too seriously.
Thinking of this, Zhong Hao no longer focused on this matter. However, Zhong Hao did not walk towards his office, but looked directly at Xu Jingyi's office, and then said with a smile:
"Jingyi, there's no need to eavesdrop. Come out, everyone has left."
As soon as Zhong Hao's voice fell, the door to Xu Jingyi's office was already opened, and the next moment, Xu Jingyi walked out of the office with a red face.
She naturally knew that Bai Ziyi was waiting for Zhong Hao below. She didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, because she knew that Bai Ziyi should thank Zhong Hao.
What she didn't expect was that Zhong Hao actually brought Bai Ziyi to the living room outside the fifth floor to talk.
So, she eavesdropped a little.
Of course, this was not because Xu Jingyi suspected Zhong Hao, because she knew that if Zhong Hao and Bai Ziyi really had anything to do with each other, they would have talked in the office, not in the living room outside.
After walking out of the office, Xu Jingyi walked towards Zhong Hao, and then chuckled: "Zhong Hao, I didn't expect you to be so hard-hearted, and you didn't even frown for the feelings of such a stunning beauty.
You frowned and rejected her directly. Could it be that you knew I was eavesdropping inside, so you rejected her?"
Zhong Hao glanced at Xu Jingyi speechlessly. Gossip was indeed a woman's nature, and now even Xu Jingyi was gossiping.
However, Zhong Hao was simply too lazy to explain anything, because he knew Xu Jingyi was joking, so any explanation was unnecessary.
However, facing Xu Jingyi's provocation, Zhong Hao naturally would not let him go easily. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Jingyi's little hand, and then said in a magnetic voice: "Jingyi,
You must not have slept well last night, right?"
"No...no."
Xu Jingyi never thought that Zhong Hao would suddenly mention this. Her little face almost turned red instantly, she subconsciously shook her head in response, and struggled to get out of Zhong Hao's control.
Zhong Hao, however, had no intention of letting Xu Jingyi off so easily. Instead, he leaned into Xu Jingyi's ear and deliberately blew on her while saying: "Jingyi, how about tonight, I go to your room to spend the night?
"
After saying that, Zhong Hao also deliberately and gently kissed Xu Jingyi's tiny earlobe.
"Ah, you are a gangster."
Being stimulated to a sensitive place by Zhong Hao, Xu Jingyi jumped up almost instinctively. She didn't know where she got the strength from, she shook off Zhong Hao's hand and ran away like a fly.
Seeing Xu Jingyi like this, Zhong Hao laughed happily, and then went back to the office to change clothes and start the scheduled treatment this afternoon.
Since they were going to Liu's house for dinner, Zhong Hao and Xu Jingyi left the Guanzhen Hall Club a little early.
Ye Junyan and the others have already gone to Mr. Ye's place, and even the gifts for visiting the Liu family have been prepared.
Liu Qing also arranged for a vehicle to wait there. Therefore, Zhong Hao drove directly to Mr. Ye's yard to meet everyone, and then led by Liu Qing, they went to the Liu family's yard together.
Mr. Liu and Mr. Liu Zhen personally came outside the courtyard to greet them, and gave a very honorable welcome to the arrival of Zhong Hao, Mr. Ye and their entourage.
Not only that, Liu Zhen has already set up a high-standard banquet at home, waiting for the arrival of Zhong Hao and his party.
The relationship between the Liu family and the Ye family is very good. Coupled with Zhong Hao's special relationship, everyone naturally gets along very harmoniously. Liu Zhen personally entertains Zhong Hao and Mr. Ye, while Mrs. Liu Zhen is responsible for receiving Ye
Junyan and the others.
Mr. Liu was obviously in a very good mood and even took out some old wines from his collection.
Before Zhong Hao treated him, he had almost never touched alcohol for a long time, but now that Zhong Hao, a great doctor, was present, Mr. Liu could naturally drink to his heart's content.
He and Mr. Ye were both old drinkers, and after drinking like this, they became even more enthusiastic.
It can be said that the entire banquet was lively from beginning to end, everyone was chatting and laughing, and it can be said that it was extremely harmonious.
This kind of relationship is undoubtedly what Zhong Hao is most happy to see. Regardless of the original relationship between the Liu family and the Ye family, at least his current relationship with the Liu family can be regarded as a very close relationship. What's more, he still cares about Mr. Liu.
With life-saving grace, this relationship cannot be simple even if you want to be simple.
After the banquet, Mrs. Liu Zhen took Ye Junyan and the others to the inner room to talk.
Liu Zhen and Zhong Hao, as well as Mr. Liu and Mr. Ye, sat down between the sofas in the hall. Liu Qing also sat down with them, and then served tea to everyone.
In fact, Liu Qing is older than Zhong Hao, but Zhong Hao's identity is different, and he has extended Mr. Liu's life by twenty years. Therefore, Liu Qing is not only grateful to Zhong Hao, but also very grateful.
Respect and courtesy.
"Liu Zhen, I heard something from Brother Xu when I came here today. He said that there is something wrong with the butler's recent limelight, isn't it?" The table was not talking about business. After sitting down between the sofas in the hall, Mr. Ye was
The first one brought up some relatively sensitive topics.
After all, except for Zhong Hao, basically everyone present has a lot to do with the Chinese military and politics. Mr. Ye also withdrew from the military at the beginning. If he had not quit, I am afraid he would be a military boss now.
character.
Under such circumstances, the topics they talked about could not be some trivial matters, but would more or less be related to this topic.
After listening to what Mr. Ye said, Liu Zhen nodded lightly and responded truthfully: "Well, Guan Jin may not be able to wait until the end of this term, so he will leave early."
Speaking of this, Liu Zhen's eyes flashed with excitement.
Originally, he should have been the one to take the fall after the Bai family fell, but the housekeeper stepped forward with the support of the Guan family.
And now, if the housekeeper really falls, then the Liu family will definitely not miss it again this time, and Liu Zhen can also take a step forward on this path.
It’s up to people.
After receiving Liu Zhen's confirmation, Mr. Ye laughed and said: "Liu Zhen, it seems that I should congratulate you in advance."
"Old man, it's too early to talk about this matter now. I can't guarantee whether there will be a second housekeeper who can step forward by then." Liu Zhen is still more cautious. Although he is 90% sure in his heart,
But he won't say it to death.
"That may not be the case this time. How can there be so many butlers in this world..."
But Mr. Ye said it nonchalantly. It can be seen that he should have heard some definite news from Xu Yuanzheng and knew that Liu Zhen would definitely go further this time. Otherwise, Mr. Ye would not say anything.
So sure.
As for Zhong Hao, he was just drinking tea and smiling as he watched Mr. Ye and the others chatting about these sensitive topics.
Zhong Hao had no intention of interjecting on these topics. This must not be because he, Zhong Hao, was not interested, but because all of this was simply under his control.
Since he is the mastermind behind the scenes, it is naturally impossible for Zhong Hao to let himself be exposed.
But Mr. Ye and the others were having a lively conversation, and the topics naturally revolved around those topics. The chats between these older generations also gave Zhong Hao a lot of insights.
However, Zhong Hao was thinking more about another thing.
Regarding the control of Guan Jun, Zhong Hao has always carefully planned it.
To Zhong Hao, Guan Jun was not just a simple chess piece. First of all, it was Guan Jun's identity. That status, which was almost like the emperor's, paved a golden road for Guan Jun.
If he continues to develop as Guan Jun, he will definitely enter the highest circle in China in the next few decades.
What Zhong Hao is thinking about now is how to arrange the future path of the Guan army. He is to retreat bravely. After paving the way for Zhong Hao, he gives up like an abandoned son.
Let Guan Jun grow up step by step and eventually become the number one giant in China like his father.
Whether it is the first or the second, there are some advantages.
The first type requires a very short time. After the Liu family takes the throne, it only takes three to five years at most, which is enough. But after Zhong Hao gives up the chess piece Guan Jun, Zhong Hao basically
It is tantamount to giving up on this field.
As for the second case, it will take at least twenty years. However, as long as it develops step by step, Zhong Hao will be able to secretly control the Chinese political arena through Guan Jun and become the real master behind the scenes.
The length of time of control is nothing to Zhong Hao.
With his powerful multi-tasking ability, Zhong Hao almost doesn't need to worry about this kind of control, and it won't have any impact on him at all.
However, if he controls Guan Jun to take that path, Zhong Hao will have to bear a responsibility, the responsibility of a country, and this is not what Zhong Hao wants to bear.
Therefore, it is somewhat difficult for Zhong Hao to decide between these two choices.
Fortunately, this is not urgent. He, Zhong Hao, still has time. Everything can be decided in three or five years.
And by then, Zhong Hao's development will probably reach an incredible level.
By the time Zhong Hao and his party were waiting to leave Liu's house, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
Unlike when he went there, Mr. Ye did not leave with Zhong Hao. Instead, he stayed with the Liu family for some time under the warm invitation of the Liu family.
Zhong Hao and Ye Junyan naturally have no objections to this. Compared with when they were in Jincheng, it can be said that Mr. Ye's life circle is getting bigger and bigger now, and he has more and more old friends.
Unlike when he was in Jincheng, he was alone most of the time. For an old man of Mr. Ye's age, this was undoubtedly very lonely.
When returning, Ye Junyan seemed to have something to say to Zhong Hao, so Xu Jingyi took Lingxuan's car, while Ye Junyan sat alone in Zhong Hao's car.
After leaving the Liu family, Ye Junyan said to Zhong Hao with a blushing face: "Zhong Hao, it's all your fault. I'm almost dying of embarrassment today..."
She had already secretly asked Mu Ziran, and sure enough, last night Mu Ziran and the others heard some sounds they shouldn't have heard, and they listened all night long.
This made Ye Junyan so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl down directly. She could only blame her for being too happy yesterday. If it were normal times, she would definitely not be like that.
"Well, you can't blame me for this, you were the one who took the initiative yesterday..." Zhong Hao said deliberately and innocently, but before he finished speaking, he was already beaten by Ye Junyan.
"You also said that it was your fault anyway."
Ye Junyan was so embarrassed that she couldn't be more embarrassed. After being teased so deliberately by Zhong Hao, her little face was almost as red as if she had applied bright red rouge, and even her fair neck was red.
It's pink.
It was rare to see Ye Junyan such a young woman, Zhong Hao almost ignored Ye Junyan's fragrant fist, but took it with great enjoyment.
Ye Junyan was reluctant to hit Zhong Hao. Although her strength was very low, she still felt very distressed.
Therefore, after a few symbolic touches, she took her little hand back and said: "Zhong Hao, Sister Ling is going to Guangdong tomorrow. I don't know when she will come back next time. It's too late, why not
You go to her room."
How could Zhong Hao not understand what Ye Junyan meant? He nodded slightly and said, "Well, I happen to have something to say to her."
Zhong Hao did have something to say to Ling Xuan, mainly about the Jing family. After talking with Liu Shixuan, Zhong Hao planned to let Ling Xuan make some preparations first.
If there is no suitable candidate, I am afraid that Lingxuan will still have to take over the Jing family's properties in the future.
However, Zhong Hao will be able to spare some time by then.
