Zhao's old house.
Zhao Qizhen sat in the living room, the sound of the TV was turned on very loudly, but the old house was still very empty. There was a lot of documents in front of him, and the lawyer he contacted had just left. The housekeeper came over at this time and brought him a cup of hot tea, "Four young masters, rest first."
"Well, I'll take a look." Zhao Qizhen has never read these materials, or his understanding of the law is very simple. But Zhao Yao is right, it's useless for him to ask anyone for this matter, because no one is willing to help him at this critical period, so he can only find a lawyer and find a way by himself.
Seeing Zhao Qizhen's appearance, the housekeeper didn't bother anymore. He packed his things, and accidentally saw the servant at home walking out with something in his hand, he took a slight pause and then walked up to the second floor.
In the past few days, because Mrs. Bai Chengxue was taken away for investigation, the old house has become quiet. The young master rarely goes home because of work, and the fourth young man goes out all day. Even the servants in the old house are a little lazy. . Based on the housekeeper's years of experience in the Zhao family, this kind of calmness is often the most terrifying, because anything can come silently.
For example, two hours ago, Da Shao suddenly dispatched additional security personnel near the old house, and the entire old house had been alerted without anyone noticing it, and there was no other reason for this, it could only be the only one staying in the old house Zhao Qizhen in .
The servant had already walked into the courtyard, and the person who communicated with him was the person who was in charge of daily shopping in the old house. This person had stayed in the Zhao family’s old house for many years. Tobacco, even the face also brought a bit of seriousness.
The housekeeper stood on the balcony and observed for a while. When he was about to call Zhao Changshuo, he accidentally saw a maid come up from the second floor. He didn't back away when he saw him, but walked straight over, "Housekeeper, I have something to say. you say……"
Zhao Qizhen looked at the information to no avail. When he picked up the tea, he found that the tea was cold. He was about to ask someone to change a cup. When he swept around, he found that today's old house is very quiet. Usually there are servants waiting near the living room, but today There was no one around, not even the sound of the garden being repaired outside the window on weekdays.
A little too quiet.
Zhao Qizhen was keenly aware of what was wrong, and was about to ask someone about the situation, when he saw a maid hurried over, and when he saw him, he immediately said: "Fourth Young Master, I hope you will come with us now, the housekeeper is already there. The garage is waiting for you."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Qizhen wanted to lose his temper when he saw this. "What about the others? Why didn't I see them."
The servant even prepared the luggage for Zhao Qizhen. Seeing that Zhao Qizhen was a little suspicious, she immediately said, "The news of the death of the old chairman will be sent back to China soon. It is not safe for you to stay in the old house now. We need to change the place."
After she finished speaking, she took out a copy and added: "Don't worry, we are not from Zhao Zhikai. We took you away this time to protect your safety."
"What do you mean? My dad is dead?" Zhao Qizhen was suspicious, until he saw the photocopy that the maid took out, and his face suddenly changed.

Within the group, many people gathered around Zhao Zhikai's office.
Zhao Zhikai looked at the confidant who just came in to report: "Zhao Changshuo's going abroad is only told to me now, what about the others, his subordinates are all in China, right?"
"It's all there, and it seems that you have other arrangements. Several project teams that are running are having an emergency meeting. It seems that you are ready to start." If we really want to cooperate with you and the three young masters, should we still act according to the original plan?"
"What about Zhao Qizhen, let Zhao Changshuo go abroad first has missed the opportunity, first control Zhao Qizhen." Zhao Zhikai frowned, he had just received the news of his eldest brother's death, and before he could arrange things, Zhao Changshuo had already gone abroad.
And to his surprise, how did Zhao Changshuo know about his eyeliner that he stayed abroad, this time the news instinctively came out ahead of time, because his eyeliner was intercepted by Zhao Changshuo's people, which was only a few hours late. He thought that Zhao Changshuo's hand was only in China, but he didn't expect that he had already planned the layout, and the delay in the news was enough to show that he had missed the opportunity.
The other high-level officials looked at each other, and one of them said, "Mr. Zhao, are we still following the original plan?"
Zhao Zhikai frowned, "No."
He only received news from Huang Wenjun not long ago that Zhao Yao still has a backer to help Zhao Changshuo. To deal with Zhao Changshuo, he has to cut off his external aid first. Zhao Yao is a difficult person. Zhao Zhikai never thought that Zhao Yao would become one of his biggest threats. After all, this child has been pinched by him since he was a child, and he knows exactly what Zhao Yao thinks in his heart.
But at some point, his plans went haywire.
"boss--"
There was a knock on the door, and then a person walked in, looking anxious, as if he had encountered a major event.
Zhao Zhikai paused when he saw him: "Where's Zhao Qizhen?"
The person who came in paled, "I told the people in the old house today that I planned to take the four young medicines away, but when it was time to buy it, we found out that the four young masters had been taken away in advance."
"Who can take people away under your nose, the one arranged by Zhao Changshuo?" Zhao Zhikai stood up abruptly.
The man explained: "We are all watching the young and old. Our arrangement this time was not discovered. The only car that went out during that period was the butler's car. We suspect that the fourth young master got out in the butler's car."
"It's not the one arranged by Zhao Changshuo..." Zhao Zhikai pondered this sentence, his face suddenly changed: "Is it Zhao Yao? When did he arrange someone in the old house?" And the housekeeper of the Zhao family's old house, this oil salt If he doesn't enter, he has also found many opportunities to win over the past few years, but the old housekeeper is still the same as before, and he didn't listen to anything. How could such a person help Zhao Yao to take Zhao Qizhen away?
"The boss, what are we going to do now?" Others were a little anxious when they heard this. The faction was originally to contain each other, and the old chairman was still there. Now that the old chairman is gone, they want to It is absolutely impossible to get along peacefully. If Zhao Changshuo is in the position, he will never let go of their relatives of Zhao Zhikai.
"Zhao Yao..." Zhao Zhikai gritted his teeth, and it was Zhao Yao again.
He paused for a while before saying, "Keep an eye on Zhao Yao and seize the chance of him being single."
Hearing this, the confidant's face was a little ugly, "Boss, it's not that we don't want to follow these three young masters, but we are not sure about the third young master's recent itinerary. After following the people who went to the supermarket yesterday and lost, we will go back to the three young masters' residence soon. Then, I didn't see San Shao back until midnight."
"What do you mean? Zhao Yao is missing?" Zhao Zhikai's expression changed.
The confidant nodded with difficulty: "We went to Huihua Culture, and we didn't find anyone. We even paid attention to the residence of Pei Mingzhan, a friend of the next three young masters, and we did not see anyone going back. For the third young master's itinerary, we took No more."
Zhao Zhikai's face was gloomy. It was impossible for Zhao Changshuo to make such a comprehensive arrangement for Zhao Yao in a short period of time. That is, Zhao Yao expected things to happen in advance, so he prepared a backhand in advance. How is this possible? Zhao Yao left the group for a while, and Huang Wenjun kept staring at his team. If there was some rumors from Zhao Yao, he would not know.
Is Huang Wenjun a pretense?
That's unlikely. Huang Wenjun's resume was carefully screened by him, and Zhao Yao also screened out a lot of his people at the beginning, and the team is operating normally. If Huang Wenjun is found out, he will never As the situation develops now, there is another possibility. Could it be that Zhao Yao's establishment of this team is a pretense from beginning to end, in order to draw all his attention to the team and neglect other aspects.

night.
In the business room of the hotel, Zhao Yao temporarily requisitioned Pei Mingzhan's notebook and is now contacting EV. He commissioned EV to conduct a second-hand investigation, re-checking the various businesses that Zhao Zhikai belonged to, plus what he knew earlier, and found a lot of evidence that he accepted bribes.
EV: Who is the big guy who gave you this information? If there was no way for him to remind me, I would never have thought of checking this area.
EV: Your second uncle’s things were so tightly hidden that you turned them out. When are you going to shake them out, so that he can sit in prison?
Zhao Yao downloaded the information given by EV, and some of the information was in hard copy, but the fact that EV was able to check it so carefully also showed that his memory did not go backwards. These were all found out in advance when he was dealing with Zhao Zhikai in his previous life. It took several years for some information to find clues. When he came out of the group in this life, he let his confidants prepare secretly, and some evidence was still in advance. Safe in hand.
But it's mainly thanks to EV. He usually looks through entertainment news and has a keen eye. Some things are really thanks to him.
Zhao Yao: You are also amazing, these things are hard to check.
EV: Thanks to your boss for providing a way, the breakthrough this time is the third child raised by your second uncle outside. The entertainment industry is still involved in many circles, and some scandals are easy to investigate as long as there is a way. Your second uncle probably didn't expect to be planted on a woman.
Halfway through the chat between the two, Zhao Yao received a call from his confidant. After listening to the other party's words, he said, "Arrange Zhao Qizhen to go to the place I originally prepared, and trouble the housekeeper to avoid the limelight during this time."
During this period of time, Zhao Zhikai had to deal with a wide range of issues. Before Zhao Changshuo came back, he had to at least stabilize the domestic situation so that he would not bring disaster to the people around him.
The confidant said: "We have made arrangements here. It seems that Zhao Zhikai has begun to investigate the team. He may suspect Huang Wenjun."
Zhao Yao knows the character of Zhao Zhikai. As soon as Zhao Changshuo goes abroad, his methods will soon be discovered by Zhao Zhikai. However, it is also convenient to close the network in advance. It is not critical whether Huang Wenjun is exposed or not. If there is still doubt about the news going out, then it is convenient for them to do things.
"Well, I see. When he bites the bait, he will close the net." Zhao Yao tilted his head slightly and looked at the feasting and feasting of the city outside. "You pay attention to safety, and Uncle Wang also told him not to go out these days."
Zhao Yao hung up the phone, and after finishing the conversation with EV, he sat on the rattan chair on the side, and sent a message to the others before taking a break.
He closed his eyes slightly, and ran through his mind about the possible future movements of Zhao Changshuo and Zhao Zhikai. Considering that the foreign incident happened to the follow-up infighting, he fought with Zhao Changshuo for more than half a year in his last life before the result. Later, because of Zhao Zhikai's deliberate thinking, he couldn't eat it. less loss. But in this life, Zhao Changshuo has more chips in his hands. If Zhao Changshuo is replaced by Zhao Changshuo to fight Zhao Zhikai, and he is behind the push, it shouldn't take too long to solve this matter.
Zhao Yao found that he was thinking a lot about things recently. Although he didn't take Zhao Zhikai seriously, it was always a hidden danger. He is not alone now like in his previous life. Uncle Yao Bai is still there, and now there is Pei Mingzhan...
A few more messages popped up on the phone, a list of messages sent by others.
Zhao Yao glanced at him and made sure that there was nothing else, and then turned to other news. Zhao Changshuo only left him a few words before leaving the country, which probably meant that he should pay attention to protecting himself, and the rest would be discussed when he came back. It is only a matter of time before this news is released. The death of the chairman of the Zhao Group is a big news on the bright side. The more accurate the timing, the more able to suppress Zhao Zhikai.
The room was very quiet, only the sound of text messages.
Zhao Yao came back to his senses, frowned slightly, and then slowly exhaled.
Don't think too much, or you won't be able to sleep at night. He exited the software, clicked on a few software at random to watch the news and prepared to divert his attention, so he habitually went to the forum page, and just got in, he received a text message from the netizen.
He hadn't added a few people on the X Water Forum, and he had a good chat with him, "no matter how bald he was, his wife would still hurt him".
This is the person who sent him the message. The message was sent the day before yesterday, and he only noticed it today.
The content is also a simple greeting, and on the other hand is a question about his post in the communication section. The netizens of the X Water Forum are always very enthusiastic and answer any questions they have. Coupled with the small circle, it is easy to be answered by familiar netizens after posting a few posts.
No matter how bald, there is still a wife who hurts: Brother, I read your post a few days ago, are you going to live with your boyfriend?
Zhao Yao remembered the post he posted a few days ago. Because of the problem of house decoration, he posted a post asking the question of #CohabitationItemPurchasing#, and received many comments from netizens. His friend just sent him the precautions for cohabitation and purchasing issues.
No matter how bald, there is still a wife who hurts: [Compilation] Someone posted it before, you just need to check it according to the inside. Then remember to watch some videos or novels before doing things, and brewing and brewing interest.
No matter how bald, there is still a wife who hurts: Hey, what did I say, you know everything, brother, I wish you happiness in advance.
Zhao Yao paused slightly when he saw this, typed and asked: Do you have an address?
No matter how bald you are, your wife still hurts: don't you?
Zhao Yao answered truthfully: I did not.
No matter how bald, there is still a wife who hurts: ? ? ? ? ? ? No, brother, then you have been on the forum for so long, you don't even have this video?
Zhao Yao was a little silent, but he really didn't. As for the matter of love, he prefers to take it step by step. From falling in love to marriage is a relatively long process. The period includes the cultivation of the two people's feelings, the brewing of emotions, and the strengthening of their relationship with each other... These things are superimposed on each other. It is a precipitation that takes time.
He has read a lot of books and strategies. When falling in love, you need to consider the character and concept of the two. If the co-production can develop into a romantic relationship, then you must further consider emotional cultivation. The right and appropriate time to precipitate can avoid the emergence of emotional crisis.
Therefore, the strategies he read on the forum are all step-by-step strategies from each stage. He knows that more intimate relationships will occur in the process from falling in love to marriage. A few rough glances, but no in-depth discussion.
No matter how bald, there is still a wife who hurts: [a string of URLs] I also take it, look at this.
Just as Zhao Yao wanted to collect it, he saw another message pop up on the screen.
No matter how bald, there is still a wife who hurts: Damn, it's wrong, your men are not suitable for this.
Five minutes later, he sent a new message.
No matter how bald, there is still a wife who hurts: [Link A] This is watching Xiao Huangwen, [Link B] This is watching a video, you're welcome!
Zhao Yao politely said thank you, then saved the two links and clicked on the first link address. As soon as you open it, you will see a list of articles facing you, and there are various article categories next to it neatly. In his previous life, he also read novels when he was in college, but he did not understand the various categories in this website.
It was also a little late, so Zhao Yao clicked on a category at will, and picked the top one.
At ten o'clock, the door of the hotel opened, Pei Mingzhan walked in with some supper, and saw Zhao Yao sitting by the window playing with his mobile phone, so he said: "There are several people in my company today, you You're right, they're all looking for you."
The stalking incident just happened yesterday. Pei Mingzhan originally planned to send Zhao Yao home, but after Zhao Yao came out of the lounge in the afternoon, he asked him to find a way to book a hotel nearby, preferably a little more secret. Pei Mingzhan immediately understood the intention of Zhao Yao's move. He asked someone to contact a hotel in Pei's family privately, and then took Zhao Yao to temporarily live in it.
When he got home to pack his clothes, he found someone squatting where he lived. Although Zhao Yao didn't explicitly say this, these people obviously couldn't find Zhao Yao and had already tried to find him.
Pei Mingzhan walked in and saw that he was looking at his phone seriously, and reminded: "What are you looking at, so serious?"
"I'm reading a novel." Zhao Yao came back to his senses, saw the supper in his hand, Wei Wei silently recalled what Pei Mingzhan said just now, and then said: "They should look for a while, you In fact, you don't need to come here, it's quite troublesome to walk back and forth."
It is not so urgent for the other party to follow Pei Mingzhan. At most, he is squatting under Pei Mingzhan's company, and the manpower has been withdrawn from the apartment. Zhao Yao received news today and found that the other party had focused on Huihua Culture and Yao Bai. He also reminded Yao Bai to reduce the time for his parents to go out these days.
Zhao Zhikai's madness is indeed unpredictable, but Pei Mingzhan has to get rid of people every time he comes here, which is really troublesome.
"Huh? I thought you were serious and didn't hear what I said." Pei Mingzhan put the supper on the table, "This is the hotel of Pei's family. I occasionally come here to stay for a while after working overtime late. It may not be revealed if it is discovered, not to mention that our relationship has not been known by the other side, Zhao Zhikai does not need to take the risk of offending the Pei family to investigate me."
He took the supper apart, "Would you like to eat it, I heard that you didn't eat much at night."
After staying in the hotel, Zhao Yao didn't go out much today, and he asked someone to deliver the three meals, but according to the waiter who received the plate, Zhao Yao didn't eat much tonight.
Zhao Yao ate a bit too much at noon. He hadn't digested his food in the evening. He didn't have any appetite when he smelled the late-night snack.
"Then don't sit, stand up and walk around, and tell me what you need to do in advance." Pei Mingzhan didn't look like he was overly anxious, and he was still busy reading novels, it seemed that he thought too much.
Thinking of this, he was a little bit puzzled. He knew that Zhao Yao likes watching TV series, but why has his interest shifted to novels recently?
Has the interest shifted? What kind of novels does he focus on?
While thinking about things, Pei Mingzhan noticed that there was no hot water in the kettle beside him, "Where is your medicine bag?"
"Outer suitcase." Zhao Yao put away the other things on the desktop and made a place for Pei Mingzhan to work.
He saw that Pei Mingzhan seemed to have brought back his office notebook in addition to his supper. It should be that the company's affairs had not been settled.
Soon, Pei Mingzhan gave him a sleep aid package and put it on the table, "I'll put the medicine for you first, and I'll take a bath first."
Zhao Yao nodded, watching his boyfriend arrange other things in an orderly manner, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, the more he got along with Pei Mingzhan, the more he found that he was well taken care of from beginning to end. This made Zhao Yao's self-esteem a little frustrated. Obviously, he was older than Pei Mingzhan, but he had to be taken care of by his young boyfriend.
The room suddenly became quiet again, Zhao Yao stared at the steaming teacup in front of him, but he was thinking of something else. It wasn't until the phone in his hand vibrated that he came back to his senses, and when he turned on the phone, he saw the content of the novel on the page.
I just clicked and watched the beginning. It seemed to say a story background, a rich family background, the protagonist is a male, and now he is forced to marry into a rich family because of some strange contracts.
Although the background of the story is a little lacking in reality, it is normal for the content of the novel to be more fantasy.
Zhao Yao found that his tastes are a bit picky recently. I don't know if it is because he has watched too many series. He is also a little particular about the plot when he reads a novel.
However, the website that his netizens shared to him is not to say that it is related content, why he has not seen the description of that content now... But the opening chapter is indeed the introduction of the plot background, some settings are a bit unpredictable, and values There are also some problems, but the new ones are expensive.
[Slightly ambiguous light in the dim room, the layers of orange light are reflected, and the sound of water in the bathroom is very clear...]
Zhao Yao frowned slightly. When he saw this description, on the other side of the hotel room, the sound of the bathroom shower fell.
When Pei Mingzhan came out of the shower, he saw Zhao Yao sitting beside the bed with his head down and playing with his mobile phone.
The posture of bowing his head is very well-behaved, and his pajamas are loose and look a bit thin.
The lights in the room suddenly became too dazzling, and Pei Mingzhan reached out and grabbed the coat hanging on the side.
Zhao Yao tilted his head slightly when he heard the movement, and before he could speak, he was put on a coat, and his hands were warm when he touched him. Bathrobe, his hair was wet, and the drops of water dripping from his hair hit his face so steadily.
The author has something to say: General Zhao's practice guide 01
