Chapter 17：

Before Zhao Yao brought the people home, Uncle Wang called. The atmosphere in the car was very quiet, with only Ji Heyu and Zhao Yao in the back seat.

Zhao Yao answered the phone and said calmly after listening, "Let him wait, I'm almost there."

Yao Bai probed and asked, "Did Uncle Wang call to ask what to eat at night? Can I eat rice?"

Zhao Yao hung up the phone, "Let's stay for dinner tonight."

Ji Heyu tilted his head and glanced at Zhao Yao. He always felt that Mr. Zhao was in a bad mood after answering the phone.

Arriving in the wealthy area, Yao Bai walked in front with a wheelchair, followed by Ji Heyu, who was a little frightened. It was the first time for Ji Heyu to come to the wealthy area. He had heard that the housing prices of this generation in S City were astonishing, but he did not expect that one day he would be able to live at the boss's house for two days.

Soon after arriving at Zhao's house, Yao Bai opened the door and noticed the leather shoes left by the entrance hall. He was a little stunned: "Is this someone coming from the family?"

Zhao Yao's face was calm: "Zhao Zhikai is here."

! !

Yao Bai: "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zhao Yao simply changed his shoes, "Is there a difference?"

Uncle Wang didn't call to ask what he wanted to eat at night, but Zhao Zhikai was in his apartment now. This incident was not unexpected. Zhao Yao had expected Zhao Zhikai to come to him, but he didn't expect that this person would come to the door in person at this time.

In his last life, he was only beaten by Zhao Zhikai in the late stage of the Qichen project. In the past, he could be said to have wholeheartedly believed in this second uncle who helped him plan and deal with Zhao Changshuo, but he never thought that he would be attacked by Zhao Zhikai from the beginning to the end. Use inside. His symptoms of insomnia also gradually worsened during that time. Yao Bai went abroad, and most of the confidants around him were chess pieces that Zhao Zhikai had placed in advance, which almost forced him to nowhere.

However, it was also fortunate that he left his hand in advance, and Zhao Zhikai's family fortune was not taken away by Zhao Zhikai in his previous life. The hatred he had with Zhao Zhikai in his previous life had actually ended. At least when he was seriously ill and was admitted to the nursing home, Zhao Zhikai was still in prison.

Zhao Yao suddenly felt no interest in dealing with such a former enemy. The methods of his defeated generals were like unhindered childish behavior in front of him. His self-righteous hypocritical face was pierced, but he was a little curious. He was tricked by him at the beginning, and now there is no one around him who can be used, what else will Zhao Zhikai do?

"Xiao Yao is back?" Zhao Zhikai was sitting in the living room in a formal suit. When he saw Zhao Yao coming back, he got up and walked, "I heard that Uncle Wang went out for a re-examination today. How is the situation?"

Uncle Wang did not tell Zhao Zhikai the truth about his going to Huihua.

Zhao Yao handed his coat to Uncle Wang, "Add two sets of tableware at night, and Xiaoji will stay at home for two days."

Uncle Wang looked at Ji Heyu, who had a big bag and a small bag, and replied, "Okay, young master."

Zhao Yao only looked at Zhao Zhikai after he finished his instructions, "Second uncle came over to talk about something? Let's go to the study upstairs."

Ji Heyu's chest was tight, and when he looked at the kind man just now, he always had a feeling he couldn't tell. He asked in a low voice, "Is that Mr. Zhao's uncle just now?"

Yao Bai glanced upstairs, "Forget it, I don't have anything to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace, and I don't know why he came here at this time." He used to trust Zhao Zhikai, but after Zhao Yao reminded him to leave some snacks, he paid attention. Until Zhao Zhikai did a lot of little tricks behind his back.

I used to have a very proud attitude when I wanted to push Zhao Qizhen to the top. Now that Zhao Qizhen is useless, he asks his secretary to call to make an appointment every day. He knows that his brother Yao has bad legs and is embarrassing, but now he condescends to come.

The curtains of the study were closed, Zhao Zhikai turned on the lights in the study by the way, and the dimly lit room suddenly lit up.

"Xiao Yao, the second uncle will stop beating around the bush. What did you think about the previous meeting? Didn't you say I would help you deal with Zhao Changshuo, and then take Zhao Changshuo off the stage?" Zhao Zhikai pushed Zhao Yao to the mahogany table and stopped, Looking at him condescendingly: "I remember you hated Zhao Changshuo, why did you take the initiative to support him at the meeting?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yao smiled slightly, put his fingers together on his lap, but looked straight at Zhao Zhikai, and said in a flat voice: "I don't want to fight, so I can only support him, is it possible that I want to push Zhao Qizhen's straw bag to the top? "

Zhao Qizhen often targets Zhao Yao, although it is like tickling, but Zhao Yao does not like Zhao Qizhen.

The atmosphere in the study suddenly fell into a strange silence, Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Zhikai calmly.

The latter looked gloomy, and his voice was slightly angry: "The Zhao family's family business cannot fall into the hands of Zhao Changshuo, have you thought about this?"

Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Zhikai without any disturbance, but what he said was very direct: "Who should the Zhao family's fortune fall on?"

Zhao Zhikai was shocked for a moment when he heard the words, "What do you mean? If it wasn't for Zhao Changshuo, when your mother died of illness, your father wouldn't have been away on a business trip and couldn't come back. I have been planning for you for so many years, but in the end you expressed support at the Qichen meeting. His jokes."

Seeing that Zhao Yao didn't respond, Zhao Zhikai's voice was slightly lower: "Zhao Yao, what do you think? Do you really want to give this family business to Zhao Changshuo? Your ability is not lost to him at all, your father is seriously ill now, you All performances have the potential to turn against the generals at the end, and now you've ruined that opportunity."

Zhao Yao said, "Is this my chance?"

Zhao Zhikai suddenly thought of something, "Are you saying that at the second meeting, I will let Zhao Qizhen take your place? In that case, the Qichen plan falls into Zhao Qizhen's hands, and we can still push him because of his unfavorable performance. He stepped down, but it is difficult to fight back in Zhao Changshuo's hands, why don't you understand Second Uncle's good intentions?"

Zhao Yao calmly looked at Zhao Zhikai and explained that his popularity was falling apart but he was eager to restore it. Zhao Zhikai is still the same as he was in his previous life, with the appearance of a hypocritical old man, but secretly plotting to **** the huge ambition of Zhao Group.

It's ridiculous...

Obviously there are many signs, but the previous self was deceived by him to the end, and finally fell into a predicament, almost handing over the Zhao family's family business to others. Thinking about this broken family business now, there is nothing to contend for, but if his father's things fell into the hands of someone like Zhao Zhikai, he might as well complete Zhao Changshuo.

After Zhao Zhikai revealed his ambitions, Zhao Yao lowered his eyes and looked at his delicate and fair fingers, and asked coldly, "Second uncle is for me, or for yourself?"

"What the **** are you thinking about!" Zhao Zhikai restrained his expression, "It's unreasonable, if you don't fight now, just wait for Zhao Changshuo to cover the sky and then deal with you." He no longer reasoned with Zhao Yao and pushed away directly The door went out.

After he left, Zhao Yao picked up his mobile phone and contacted EV: to check the use of assets under Zhao Zhikai's name.

EV quickly replied: Don't you have a good relationship with your second uncle? Why did you suddenly want to check him?

Zhao Yao: Not enough money?

EV: Hi, sure enough. By the way, the service will help you find out Zhao Zhikai's mistress. Last time my little brother took a lot of good photos of him.

Zhao Yao actually didn't want to get involved in the mess of the Zhao family, but when he heard Zhao Zhikai mentioned his mother just now, he thought that it would be too cheap to let Zhao Zhikai go in this life. I don't know how long it will take Zhao Changshuo to get rid of the cancer of Zhao Zhikai, but he doesn't mind giving his eldest brother a favor.

After all, they just sent a team over.

Zhao Yao turned off the screen of his phone and said to himself, "When a person is reborn, does his heart change?"

-*

The discussion in the study broke up unhappily, and Zhao Zhikai came out of the study angrily and left. Ji Heyu was sitting in the living room downstairs and saw Mr. Zhao's uncle leaving, "Won't he stay for dinner?"

Yao Bai was looking at the files on his mobile phone. After Zhao Yao cooperated with Chen Xi, his work has also increased, "Mr. Zhao has a lot of time to come to our small place to eat. You haven't seen my brother even his tableware and chopsticks. Don't you stay?"

When it was about time for dinner, Uncle Wang pushed Zhao Yao downstairs. After dinner, Yao Bai talked with Ji Heyu about the future work arrangement and left. In the middle of the night, Ji Heyu couldn't sleep, and suddenly heard a voice from outside the room. He opened the door and saw that the living room not far away was lit up, and the sound of the TV was playing.

Mr. Zhao still hasn't rested yet?

Ji Heyu walked over to take a look and found that there were indeed people sitting on the sofa. Zhao Yao was wearing loose pajamas, with a tired look on his face, and a heavy paper book on his lap.

Zhao Yao noticed that someone was coming, "Is it too loud to disturb you?"

He turned the TV down.

Ji Heyu shook his head: "It's so late, doesn't Mr. Zhao rest?" It's almost early morning. Although it's normal for night owls to stay up late, Zhao Yao doesn't seem to be someone who will take the initiative to stay up late.

"I don't sleep well, and I can't sleep now." Zhao Yao flipped through the columns on the Internet TV. He had already watched the last love variety show, and he had no interest in other variety shows, so he couldn't find it. Find something suitable to relieve boredom, "What movie do you young people like to watch recently?"

"Movies?" Ji Heyu sat down beside Zhao Yao, "I don't watch movies much, but there are quite a few good TV dramas recently."

Zhao Yao tilted his head to look at him when he heard the words, and then clicked into the recently popular column, and it was Pei Mingzhan's big head.

The cursor of the remote control stopped on Pei Mingzhan's avatar. Zhao Yao hadn't seen this avatar two days ago, "Is this a new drama?"

Didn't have this two days ago... "Drowning Sea"?

Ji Heyu has heard of this drama, "It's not a new drama, it's a hit drama a few months ago, it seems to be a rare TV drama by Pei Mingzhan, I've chased it with my colleagues before."

Zhao Yao used to spend all his free time on work, and he has never been interested in things like the entertainment industry, let alone chasing dramas. Pei Mingzhan appeared in front of Zhao Yao more and more times, and he couldn't help thinking that whether it was a movie, a TV series, or even a variety show, there seemed to be Pei Mingzhan.

This person's traffic in the domestic entertainment circle does not seem to be very large...

"Then look at this."

Zhao Yao clicked in directly. He always had an inexplicable familiarity with Pei Mingzhan, and he was also a little curious about what Pei Mingzhan was playing in TV series.

Ji Heyu was forced to stay and watch, and replied dryly, "Okay."

He actually wanted to say that there was no need to embarrass himself, and he could lie down and play with his phone if he couldn't sleep.

It was silent in the middle of the night, and only the theme song of "Drowning in the Sea" was played slowly and orderly. The tired look on Zhao Yao's face has gone a lot, just like a child who found a toy that he is interested in, with a bit of joy in his calm eyes.

Ji Heyu was worried that the atmosphere would be too embarrassing, and from time to time he stirred up a few topics to chat with him late at night.

Zhao Yao occasionally responded, but his tone was as flat as ever.

"Did he sing this theme song? Not bad."

"It looks a lot younger, it should have been filmed for two years."

"The rhythm of the TV series is a lot slower than the movie."

Ji Heyu was getting a little sleepy, Yu Guang swept to several books beside him, and suddenly saw "Gender Relationship" and "Love Strategy" written in pollen font on the cover...

He shivered and glanced sideways at Zhao Yao, who was watching the drama seriously, and suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Do the people who are bosses have such wide-ranging interests?

The author has something to say: Zhao Yao: Pei Mingzhan played well.

Xiaoji, who is chatting with you late at night: I am very sleepy, but I dare not say it.
