Chapter 93：

The eyes of the two met, and the drops of water that fell on Zhao Yao's face fell down his cheek.

Seeing his slightly dazed expression, Pei Mingzhan laughed out loud. He stretched out his hand to help Zhao Yao wipe off the water droplets, "What are you looking at, so serious?"

Zhao Yao's eyes looked at Pei Mingzhan carefully, and the more he looked, the less he could tell his inner feelings.

There were only two people in the room, Pei Mingzhan helped him put his coat on so that he would not catch a cold, but he took advantage of this time to scan the page on Zhao Yao's phone, "Don't look at me like that, do you want a good night's sleep? ?"

The neatly arranged words are combined into different meanings, and the last line of defense in my heart seems to be completely overturned at this moment.

Zhao Yao asked, "Are you going to work overtime for a while?"

"Well, there are a few things that haven't been dealt with yet, you should rest first." Pei Mingzhan's eyes were slightly deep, and he turned his eyes away from Zhao Yao's mobile phone, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you still looking at me? Do you want to drink the medicine, hurry up? It's cold."

He turned around and walked to the table, casually covering his dripping hair with a bath towel, and turned on his office computer.

"Drink here." Zhao Yao stretched out his hand and drank the medicine that was almost cold on the table, then lay on the bed and watched Pei Mingzhan work. After sitting for a while, he felt that the room was a little hot again, so he took off his coat and put it aside, pulling the blanket to cover his waist slightly.

In the quiet room, there was only the sound of Pei Mingzhan typing on the keyboard, and even the bright light was replaced by a small lamp. Zhao Yao retracted his gaze and focused on the novel on his phone again, but the more he looked down, the more restless he became. Even when he saw the second half, he couldn't help but glance at Pei Mingzhan. .

The layers of scenes seemed to fit in with a certain plot, the heat from the air conditioner in the room was dissipating, and the sound of ticking water still seemed to remain in my ears. Zhao Yao sat up, put the phone aside, and shouted casually, "Pei Mingzhan, how are you?"

Pei Mingzhan was checking the final work with the other side of the computer. The text asked by the secretary was still stuck on the previous one, and his mind was already confused and he couldn't think of the next reply. He closed the notebook calmly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come on."

Seeing him coming, Zhao Yao said, "I just saw a few strategies, I think..."

The cell phone that had not been picked up was swept to the other side by Pei Mingzhan, and fell directly onto the blanket on the floor. Halfway through Zhao Yao's slightly serious words, he heard Pei Mingzhan's gentle voice sound, "Look at those useless things. ,listen to me."

...

Pei Mingzhan didn't rest until one o'clock in the morning, and when he came out of the shower, Zhao Yao, who was still awake, was already asleep while wrapped in a quilt. He helped him cover the quilt, and then reached out to smoothen his frowning brows, his voice slightly lower and a little gentle: "Good night."

When Zhao Yao woke up the next day, Pei Mingzhan had already gone to work.

The room was empty and there was only one person left. He sat on the bed and reacted for a while, and he was very refreshed, but he was a little lazy and couldn't bring himself to mind. Maybe it was because of the sleeping pills last night.

He tilted his head slightly and saw that Pei Mingzhan's small note was still stuck on the bedside table. He sat awake for a while before starting to scan the messages sent by his subordinates.

Zhao Zhikai really came up madly, looking for Zhao Qizhen everywhere, and changed several groups of people one after another in his apartment.

In addition, there is another thing, because Zhao Changshuo went abroad to deal with his father's funeral, and the relatives who stayed in China were seized by Zhao Zhikai to suppress. This series of actions showed that Zhao Zhikai had planned to suppress the dissent within the group before Zhao Changshuo returned to China, and even It is possible that he did not intend to let Zhao Changshuo return to China safely.

Zhao Yao called, "What's the situation in the group now?"

The confidant briefly explained Zhao Zhikai's method to Zhao Yao, "He really started to suppress the people on the big and young side. As you expected, he has already started several projects that are running."

It is not so simple to get Zhao Changshuo to step down. In addition to the two camps, there are some old stubborn in the group. These old stubborn stubborn people only look at interests and never stand aside easily. In addition, with the premise that his father made it clear that the heir will inherit the family business, it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Zhikai to ascend to the throne by ordinary means.

According to the memory of his previous life, Zhao Changshuo will bring back his father's lawyer when he goes abroad this time. He has a will in hand. The will was originally named Zhao Changshuo, but there are many restrictions on Zhao Changshuo. These restrictions only surpassed Zhao Changshuo and became the heir.

Just like the Venucia project, these restrictions are related to many projects of Zhao Group in recent years, and the assessment conditions are also based on various factors. But in the final analysis, it is to see if Zhao Changshuo has the strength to take over the throne. If not, then change to another son. Zhao Zhikai was just working on Zhao Changshuo's project back then, so he had a reason to push him up.

In this life, Zhao Changshuo removed the hidden dangers buried by Zhao Zhikai in advance under his reminder, so Zhao Zhikai can only target a few projects that Zhao Changshuo has not yet stabilized at this stage. He let the team release news a few days ago, pretending to cooperate with Zhao Changshuo on a certain project, and also left a few opportunities for Zhao Zhikai to take advantage of. Get your hands dirty with this project.

As long as he gets into the condom, then it's all easy to say.

"People over Zhao Changshuo don't need to pay attention, they have their own set of plans, and we will act according to our plan." Zhao Yao walked over and opened the curtains, and the dazzling sunlight came in, he continued: "Wait two more days, Inform others that as soon as the news comes out, we will release all the materials we have on hand.”

The confidant nodded: "Understood."

Zhao Yao reminded him of the precautions again, and then hung up the phone and walked to the hotel's internal phone to dial the front desk. The next second, he heard the text message on the mobile phone. He picked up the mobile phone and saw the pop-up message inside. The sender of the text message is Zhao Zhikai.

[You don't want to know how your mother died? Don't you feel sick to help Zhao Changshuo? 】

"Hello, do you need any help?" The voice of the front desk of the hotel rang from the intercom, and after a pause, he asked, "Hello, Mr. Zhao? Mr. Zhao?"

"It's okay, I accidentally pressed it."

Zhao Yao stared at the text messages in his mobile phone, his eyes deepened. He hung up the front desk and replied to Zhao Zhikai's text messages. And after he replied to the text message, the text messages from his subordinates came one after another-'the fish bit the hook'.

Occasionally, the trapped beast will be clever and know how to fight to the death.

When Pei Mingzhan came out of the meeting, he received a call from Pei's hotel. The content mentioned was about a phone call Zhao Yao made in the morning. ?"

"No, the front desk thought that Mr. Zhao called because of breakfast, but then Mr. Zhao hung up the phone when he said he was okay."

Pei Mingzhan's expression changed immediately, "Go to the room now to see if anyone else is still there."

Zhao Yao is a person who has strict requirements on physical health. At least in the long time he has known each other, Zhao Yao eats three meals a day very regularly. Even if his appetite is poor, he will eat a little more or less. He never skips directly like he does now. Have breakfast.

The secretary walked in, "Boss, this is the afternoon meeting..."

Halfway through his words, he saw that his boss had put on a suit jacket and was about to leave.

When the boss came over in the morning, his face was still radiant, and he seemed to be in a very good mood. How could he be in such a bad mood after having a meeting? Could it be that the proposal from the meeting just now did not suit the boss's wishes?

"All meetings in the afternoon will be postponed, and other questions will be discussed later." Pei Mingzhan instructed: "Also notify Lao Cheng and prepare a few people for me to come to the hotel."

The secretary immediately responded, "Yes."

He became cautious, turned around and went to the Secretariat to make arrangements.

The supervisors in the company had their own work to arrange after the meeting, and some documents were about to be sent to President Pei's office, when he saw that President Pei walked out of the office with a bad expression. The head of the line hurriedly stopped and passed Pei, but he didn't even get a response from the other party to say hello.

"No? President Pei looks very bad..."

"I've never seen him like this after a meeting. What did they say at the meeting just now? Are the proposals unsatisfactory?"

"No... President Pei seemed to be in a good mood when he was in a meeting..."

The supervisor and colleagues glanced at each other, and the documents were not sent to the office in a hurry. They hurried back to check if there were any other problems.

--

When Pei Mingzhan got to the parking lot, he received a reply from his subordinates, and paused slightly: "Is he not in the room, did he take anything else?"

The subordinate said: "No, Mr. Zhao's luggage is still in the room. It seems that he changed his clothes and went out temporarily."

What kind of reason would make Zhao Yao go out at this time?

Pei Mingzhan entered the car, and then said, "Check the bodyguards Zhao Yao stayed near the hotel."

Hearing this, the subordinate added: "We have checked this. It seems that Mr. Zhao also took the bodyguard with him when he left. When the front desk was watching the video in the lobby, he found that Mr. Zhao's driver had been there. Mr. Zhao should be there. Time to leave, about half past nine in the morning."

Because the boss asked them not to get too close to Mr. Zhao, they didn't pay much attention to Mr. Zhao's travel problem except for daily safety reasons. It should be that I don't want my boss to know about it.

In the dim corridor, Zhao Changshuo took the things handed over by his father's secretary, and then said, "Has he not explained any other questions besides these?"

The secretary bowed his head slightly, "The chairman passed away suddenly, and there are only these things left."

Zhao Changshuo looked at the ward in the distance. Not long ago, his father was lying in it, but now he passed away, and he was the only one of all the children who came here. To be honest, he didn't have too many feelings in his heart. He said that he was his father, but in fact, he was only a relatively close interest relationship in the Zhao family's relationship.

The Zhao family will live every festival step by step like other noble families, but every festival is dull, depressing is better than festive, and it will even become a stage for the Zhao family to communicate with other wealthy families.

Since he was a child, he has been entrusted with the glory of being the heir. His father will take him to various meetings, and his younger siblings will envy him. His father just wanted a trusted heir.

If he is mediocre, there will be someone else behind him.

Zhao Changshuo himself was afraid. When his mother died and his father married Zhao Yao's mother and entered the house, the fear of being abandoned deepened, and it also made him fearful of developing his relationship with his new mother.

So he learned to be excellent, so that he could occupy the center of attention among his father, and would not be dismissed lightly. He also turned a blind eye to the close family in front of him. Later, Zhao Yao's mother reminded him that he didn't need to be too tired, and he didn't need to be so strong to take on everything.

At first, he didn't understand the purpose of these words, but as he got older, he gradually realized that such eyes were actually a burden, a kind of expectation called father's love, which trapped his whole person in the Zhao Group. in such a cage.

When he understood everything, the Zhao family had changed into a different look. The younger sister decided to go abroad, the younger brother hated him, the new mother died, and the Zhao family welcomed a new mistress.

"Young Master." The secretary reminded.

Zhao Changshuo came back to his senses, looked at the ward in the distance and said briefly: "I don't know if he has been self-love and selfish all his life, and he chose such a place for himself in the end, and he is really happy that he has no children waiting by his side. "

He left without looking back.

The secretary bowed his head slightly, listening to the sound of footsteps getting further and further away in the corridor, and understood that the domestic Zhao family was about to change.

-*

The location was selected in a cafe, which was decided by Zhao Yao, and Zhao Zhikai came to the appointment in person.

Zhao Zhikai walked into the cafe and looked at the cheap coffee with steam on the table, with a bit of sarcasm on his face, "I don't know what you think, don't leave your huge family business behind, run out from scratch, use What can you do with your mother's assets to invest in the entertainment industry?"

Zhao Yao can almost be said to have grown up watching him. Among the people of the Zhao family, the first thing he saw was this child, just like when he was a child, a lovely child in white and delicate clothes jumped up and ran towards him, and called him in a tender voice. 'Second uncle'.

At that time, his eldest brother had just discovered his actions, and had warned him for a while. As soon as he came out of the study, he saw his eldest sister-in-law and Xiao Zhao Yao playing in the garden. , well taken care of by his mother.

It was also during that time that he occasionally brought some small toys to Zhao Yao, and gradually his relationship with this child became better. A child's mind is easy to guess, and it is very easy to please him. Playing a few times with a few toys can make him happy. This kid is also extremely smart, learns things quickly, and has a strong comprehension.

At first, he didn't use Zhao Yao's idea, but seeing Zhao Yao's mother's resolute appearance in the group, he saw Zhao Yao gradually have his shadow. During that time, he was almost stripped of most of his real power because of the warning. He also knew that his eldest brother was on guard against him. Later, he thought of Zhao Yao, the trust of a child is really simple, and there is a mother who always thinks about him. ...

Not impossible.

Zhao Yao's mother's death was unexpected to him, but it was not a big problem. On the contrary, it was easier for the child to completely trust him. In addition, Zhao Yao still had the assets left by his mother, as long as the Zheng family did not come. Trouble, the child is still under his control.

Later, he watched the child grow up a little bit, turned against Zhao Changshuo as he wished, and successfully entered the group. His excellent abilities and methods quickly became popular in the group, and he was getting closer and closer to his goal, but at this time, he suddenly quit the competition and gave up the benefits at his fingertips.

Now, he is sitting opposite Zhao Yao, looking at this somewhat unfamiliar junior, and said coldly, "If your mother knew that you were like this, I wonder if she would be mad at you."

"It's not necessary. I don't need you to judge what I do." Zhao Yao raised his eyes slightly to look at Zhao Zhikai. This is after the last unhappy breakup, he and Zhao Zhikai sat at the same table to talk so calmly. .

When he received Zhao Zhikai's text message, he was not surprised, or he had long known that such a day would come. Zhao Zhikai is very aware of his weakness at this age. It can even be said that when he has followed Zhao Zhikai for so long, whenever he has the mentality of retreating, Zhao Zhikai always has this reason to arouse his inner anger.

He used to be a man covered in shackles, and Zhao Zhikai took the bunch of keys and used his unknown anger to step by step to provoke him to seize power, and to provoke him and Zhao Changshuo to turn against each other.

This used to be his sharpness to overcome thorns and thorns, and later it was also the cold blade that Zhao Zhikai used to deal with him.

My mother died of illness, on a rainy, dark day.

Zhao Yao recalled that he still remembered that his mother woke up because of coughing many times in the middle of the night, and he also remembered his mother's blurred face under the light when he slept in his mother's room. In fact, there were early signs. It was just that when he was a child, he thought that he could take medicine when he was sick, and his mother neglected to take care of his body, and finally one day the string was broken, so the yin and yang were separated.

Why doesn't dad come back to see mom?

Your brother is out of town, and your father is by his side.

In the final analysis, this is because of your brother. If there was no problem with the project your brother was working on, your mother would not have worked overtime for a few weeks to clean up the mess for him, and your father would not go out to supervise all the time. will become what it is now.

...

All kinds of words that add fuel to the jealousy, Zhao Yaoxin has been with him for many years, if he had not completely broken up with Zhao Zhikai later, some truths would have been hidden from him from beginning to end. There was indeed a problem with the project back then, but it was not the problem of his eldest brother, but a series of reactions caused by the mistake of the project leader at that time. Zhao Changshuo just happened to experience in that project.

But Zhao Zhikai pinpointed this point. It can be said that Zhao Changshuo deliberately made things difficult, or it can be said that his father's preference... Until later, his actions against Zhao Changshuo were just used by Zhao Zhikai as a sharp blade to use him to seize power.

"You are so ridiculous, if it wasn't for Zhao Changshuo, your mother wouldn't have died because of it." Zhao Zhikai looked at Zhao Yao, "And now you are not only helping Zhao Changshuo, but also helping him target me with one thing, I originally wanted to support you Rank up, you ended up wasting this good opportunity in vain."

"Some things, you don't need to say them again if you say them once." Zhao Yao looked at him calmly, "If you're referring to such a thing, then I'm really impatient with you."

Zhao Zhikai looked at him.

Zhao Yao: "When I was young, I would still be deceived by your rhetoric, but people are not fools, and I won't suffer the loss again."

"Zhao Yao, are you really going to stand on Zhao Changshuo's side?" Zhao Zhikai asked.

Zhao Yao's expression did not change: "I never said that I was on his side, and I will not stand on your side. If you don't disturb my life, I may not care about these things from beginning to end. Two Uncle, you are a businessman, can't you understand these things in front of you?"

"If that's the case, why did you come out after receiving the text message?" Zhao Zhikai sneered, "You've been hiding from my people these days. You're so smart, didn't you think I would attack you when you came out?"

"Because you're too annoying." Facing Zhao Zhikai's approach, Zhao Yao put a document on the table, "I won't kill everything, but you keep mentioning my mother again and again, my patience is limited, Congratulations, this is over."

Zhao Zhikai took the document with a bad expression, opened his eyes a few times, and his expression suddenly changed: "Where did you find these documents, I have already had them destroyed..."

Zhao Yao asked: "Before it came out, I had already given such a document to my person. As long as I don't go back at the specified time, this document will soon be sent to the mailboxes of various domestic media. Zhao Zhikai, you have exhausted your agency. Have you figured out where you went wrong?"

"Zhao Yao, what do you mean?" Zhao Zhikai held onto the document tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I would believe it? You didn't mention evidence from the beginning to the end of this document..."

Zhao Yao reached out and invited the waiter to pay the bill. After paying, he looked at Zhao Zhikai: "Believe it or not, everything is in front of you. You can guess if I have any evidence in my hand."

"And one more thing, the person who avoids you is not afraid of you, but I am annoyed by your actions that disturb my life all the time, and these will end in a long time." Zhao Yao stood up and looked at Zhao Zhikai with a livid face, Jian Yan said, "Good afternoon, we won't have the chance to meet again."

The pattering rain fell, and the jingle of the cafe disappeared behind him. Not far away, the driver hurried over with an umbrella and placed it on his head, "Mr. Zhao, where are we going next?"

Zhao Yao raised his head slightly and looked at the drizzle falling from the sky. In the building not far away, Pei Mingzhan might be busy with the meeting.

With the cold wind blowing across his face, Zhao Yao retracted his gaze and saw the call from Pei Mingzhan on his mobile phone. After connecting, he said, "I'm about to arrive at your company. It's raining a bit, do you want to pick me up?"

It was nice that he still had time to have lunch with his boyfriend.
