Chapter 37: So It Turns Out This Kid Was Just Bragging!

The vehicle returning to the villa had come to a complete stop. The doors on both sides were already opened by the underlings.

Zhou Siyun thought the whole thing was over, so she got out of the car.  But to her surprise, neither Li Tai nor Zhou Yuntian had moved.

Now, only Li Tai and Zhou Yuntian remained in the car.

At this moment, the deep-in-thought Li Tai once again heard Zhou Yuntian’s voice: “If … if this person is as your son Yonggang described, then this Bai Zhou is a bit disappointing.”

“Oh? Why?” Li Tai understood that Zhou Yuntian’s words carried a deeper meaning.

Zhou Yuntian smiled faintly, shaking his head as he said: “This Bai Zhou is clearly just someone cut out to be a follower, with no ambition at all.”

At that abandoned warehouse in Xicheng, they had seriously talked with Li Yonggang about Bai Zhou. They discovered that Bai Zhou had undergone some sort of change just two days ago. This change had made him more arrogant! More brazen! Other than that, there wasn’t much difference.

But arrogance and brazenness were not traits fitting for a leader. Moreover, he had never made any requests to Li Yonggang or Li Tai! There wasn’t even a trace of ambition in him! That’s why Zhou Yuntian felt disappointed!

At this point, a smile also appeared on Li Tai’s face as he shook his head and said: “Yeah! Without ambition, he can’t become a leader. It is a bit disappointing.” seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After saying this, Li Tai exchanged a glance with Zhou Yuntian.

The two of them burst into laughter, the kind of laughter that came straight from the heart.

But Zhou Siyun, standing outside the car, was dumbfounded:

Curiosity killed the cat! Especially after seeing her father and Li Tai step out of the car.

The expression on Li Tai’s face was one of pure joy, like he had found a treasure. Zhou Siyun was even more confused.

Indeed! Wasn’t Li Tai genuinely happy?!

A young man whose actions reminded him of his younger self, but without any ambition! Such a person was the perfect subordinate! And even more so, the ideal candidate to assist his son. How could Li Tai not be pleased?

A promising underling was the most valuable asset, especially if they had no ambition themselves! Of course, if Li Yonggang didn’t have ambition, Li Tai would be furious.

However … Zhou Siyun didn’t hear her father’s second assessment of Bai Zhou.

“No ambition?” Zhou Siyun would have scoffed at that.

Zhou Siyun didn’t know that evaluation anyway.

But … did Bai Zhou really lack ambition?

Only Bai Zhou himself knew the answer to that. It’s just that Bai Zhou now felt his life was pretty good.

With Li Tai above him and Li Yonggang below him, even though these two appeared as “bad guys” to outsiders, they had great power!

Following behind them and “bullying others by borrowing their authority,” wasn’t that enjoyable? Even if Bai Zhou started doing all sorts of “bad things,” others would assume it was on Li Yonggang or Li Tai’s orders!

After having his fun, he could let others take the blame. Wasn’t that great?!

Too bad, these two big shots couldn’t even imagine what was truly going on in the mind of the young man they deemed as lacking ambition!

…

The next morning, at 10 o’clock. Bai Zhou’s Mercedes S600L arrived fashionably late. Since yesterday, Ye Qiantong had only told him to come over at some point in the morning, Bai Zhou wasn’t in a rush. If it were truly urgent, Li Tai would have personally called him.

After opening the door and getting out of the car, a grinning underling immediately approached him: “Brother Zhou! Good morning! Can I have the car keys? I’ll park it for you.”

“Hm?” Bai Zhou looked at the underling in surprise. This was starting to feel like hotel service!

Without much thought, he handed over the keys.

As soon as he walked up the steps, the two gatekeepers called out in unison: “Good morning, Brother Zhou!”

“Whoa!” The sound startled Bai Zhou.

Before he even entered the door, another “Good morning, Brother Zhou!” greeted him.

Bai Zhou almost thought he had walked into a different world. After stepping inside the villa, those underlings without the rank to enter the living quarters stayed outside.

But within the living area, there were still maids and housekeepers.

When the maid in front, dressed in her uniform, saw Bai Zhou, she didn’t even dare make eye contact, respectfully bowing and greeting: “Good morning, Brother Zhou!”

This scene left Bai Zhou utterly confused!

But just as he entered the living room, he heard Li Yonggang’s unabashed voice: “Stepmom! You don’t even know! Yesterday, Bai Zhou was like a god descending from the heavens!! That gun was pressed right against Bai Zhou’s chest! And he wasn’t afraid at all! He just went up and slapped that bastard across the face!”

“Piapia! It was so fierce, I was trembling in fear!”

Upon hearing Li Yonggang’s words, Bai Zhou spread his hands!
