CH 84

Luo Bei guessed that they were sent by Teacher Zhou. She only found out during the day that Zhou Jianguo was his grandson. Upon careful consideration, given the old man’s personality, he probably didn’t want Zhou Jianguo to find out about all this from her, which is why he wanted to take him back so quickly. This can be understood. After all, Zhou Jianguo had been outside for a year, which is not too long, but definitely not short either. He was the company’s heir after all. If an heir leaves for too long, it’s not a good thing. This could also explain why Teacher Zhou had been observing Zhou Jianguo secretly for so long, and he only appeared during this period. Maybe it was because things on the company’s side had been sorted out?

Zhou Jianguo was a cautious person. Although these people had a respectful attitude, he had no idea who they were and would never follow them.

It was still Luo Bei who spoke to him, “You should go. Maybe your family really found you. Haven’t you always wanted to know who you really are?”

Zhou Jianguo, seeing Luo Bei’s calmness, immediately reacted, “Have you already known?”

He felt that Luo Bei was a little off today. Every time he looked at her, she had an expression of wanting to speak but stopping. Although he was puzzled, he didn’t ask. Now that he thought about it, was it related to him?

Luo Bei nodded and shook her head, “I just found out today and was about to tell you… Okay, you should go first. As for this watch,” she paused, “I’ll take it for now. As for what happens next, wait until you see if you’re single or not before we talk again.”

Although Teacher Zhou had already told her that Zhou Jianguo didn’t have a girlfriend or fiancée, she still wanted him to know everything before deciding whether or not to be with her.

This was not self-abasement, but rather Luo Bei felt that once Zhou Jianguo knew everything, his identity would naturally change, and what he pursued might also change. They were equal in terms of personality, but in other aspects, she and he were not of the same world.

Although for her, whether he was Zhou Jianguo or some other vice president, he was still him. But maybe he didn’t think the same way.

When his identity changes, if he still has the same attitude, she will take that step and treat him as her boyfriend.

If he feels that there are more important things to do in his life or if he feels they are not compatible, Luo Bei won’t be sad or disappointed. She is usually pretty open-minded about these things.

Zhou Jianguo glanced at Luo Bei and then at the men in black suits before saying, “I’ll go see what’s going on. If there’s anything, I’ll call you.”

It’s not true to say that he isn’t interested in his past at all. Everyone wants to know what kind of person they were in the past and whether or not they were single.

Luo Bei nodded, “Okay.”

One of the men in black suits said to Luo Bei, “Miss Luo, the boss asked me to take you home.”

Luo Bei waved her hand, “No, it’s okay. My house is nearby.”

That’s how it ended. She watched Zhou Jianguo walk away with those men. Walking back home, it’s impossible not to feel a little regretful. Teacher Zhou took Zhou Jianguo back, which meant that he was going back to his old identity. He probably wouldn’t return to the urban village, and he wouldn’t have time to ask about the shop’s affairs anymore. From now on, she would have to walk this road alone, fighting the battles by herself.

Luo Bei let out a sigh. She knew from a young age that all good things must come to an end. She had always thought that she and Zhou Jianguo would do business together and support each other, but now she realized that things didn’t always go as planned. Despite feeling melancholy, she couldn’t afford to be negative. The more she was alone, the more she had to work harder than before. Together with Zhou Jianguo, they had come a long way to achieve their current level of success. She had to continue to work hard and manage the business well. Otherwise, how could she justify the effort that they had put in?

Thinking about the future, Luo Bei felt pressured and motivated at the same time.

Meeting Zhou Jianguo, getting acquainted, and doing business with him was a stroke of luck. In just over half a year, she had achieved so much thanks to him. As she looked around, she realized that the people around her were extraordinary and not ordinary at all. In the past, she used to think that they were all perfect Mary Sues and Tom Sues. But in reality, it was precisely because of them that she had to learn from them and strive to become a person like them.

Luo Bei walked faster. Even in the cold wind, she didn’t feel cold at all. Instead, her heart burned with passion for the future.

Zhou Jianguo had left for several days. He hadn’t come back, but he had sent a WeChat message to Luo Bei to let her know that he was okay, so she wouldn’t be worried. There was no further information.

After he left, Teacher Zhou didn’t come by either. This was normal, since he only came to watch Zhou Jianguo wash his car and feel a sense of pleasure and satisfaction.

Grandma Luo and Zhao Pianpian had asked several times where he had gone, but Luo Bei just told them that he had gone to talk business with someone and wouldn’t be back for several days.

In fact, Luo Bei wasn’t worried, nor did she have time to worry. The car beauty shop was doing well, and with Zhou Jianguo gone, they had to work even harder. Fortunately, Luo Bei had found an online customer service clerk who could share some of the workload. As business continued to grow, the apprentice was also learning quickly. Luo Bei thought about hiring another person to wash and wax cars. Otherwise, the apprentice and the master would be too busy to handle everything.

The apprentice and the master are both very nice. They don’t let Luo Bei wash and wax cars. “If Brother Zhou comes back and knows that we let Sister Bei do these things, he will probably beat us up.”

While Luo Bei was posting recruitment information online, she also worked hard to provide benefits for the apprentice and the master. She ordered takeout from the restaurant several times, and they even had dumplings for several meals. She is now the boss and knows that she should treat her employees well, especially since she only has a few of them. Fortunately, all of her efforts have paid off. Although the work is busy, the apprentice and the master have no complaints and have not mentioned leaving. Luo Bei conscientiously gives them a few hundred yuan more in salary when paying them.

The master didn’t say anything, and the apprentice was very happy. He became more and more enthusiastic about washing and waxing cars. After all, having a boss who is conscientious and nice, who would want to leave?

If you encounter a conscientious boss, you should be happy.

Occasionally, Luo Bei also feels lost. She now goes home alone after work, with no one to talk to on the way. She thinks about Zhou Jianguo in her heart, but she holds back from calling him because she knows that his current situation is definitely not very good. Although it was his family and his home, he has not recovered his memory and needs time to recover and accept it. Since he says he is fine, then he is fine. She will patiently wait for him to come find her.

Zhou Jianguo will definitely come find her. Luo Bei is confident about this.

Fang Jingzhou also misses Zhou Jianguo very much, especially since he will soon leave and go back to his hometown with his grandmother for the New Year.

It’s unknown if Chen Lan has caused trouble again, but she successfully made her biological mother feel cold and angry. She hasn’t been discharged from the hospital yet, and her body hasn’t fully recovered. However, Mother Chen was so angry that she bought a ticket to take Fang Jingzhou home with her and said that she would no longer care about Chen Lan. It’s clear that Mother Chen wasn’t just talking out of anger.

What level of recklessness does it take to make your own mother feel cold-hearted?

However, Luo Bei can guarantee that Chen Lan definitely doesn’t care. Luo Bei has been in contact with Chen Lan for some time, and knows that she is not someone who cares about family affection. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even go back home for Chinese New Year, and would still be so ruthless to her own son. Maybe for her, completely cutting off contact with parents and children is a good thing.

Luo Bei originally thought that Zhou Jianguo wouldn’t come back before Fang Jingzhou left.

She didn’t know yet. As soon as she finished her work and it was already dark, she was about to drive back to the village to take Fang Jingzhou to eat at Pizza Hut, which she had promised him earlier. But as soon as she came out of the shop and hadn’t opened the car door, she saw Zhou Jianguo walking towards her from the opposite side of the street.

He was wearing a smoky gray coat, his hands in his coat pockets, and he looked the same as before, with no difference.

But Luo Bei knew that he was no longer Zhou Jianguo.

He returned to his original identity and would continue to have those unique advantages.

He was tall and handsome, and now walking over here, he attracted a lot of attention, but he didn’t pay attention to anyone who tried to talk to him. His eyes were only looking in her direction.

Luo Bei smiled and also walked towards him. He walked towards her, and she walked towards him.

Both of them had smiles on their faces.

Actually, between them, there doesn’t seem to have been any grand romantic moments. Even though Zhou Jianguo is also a domineering CEO, but Luo Bei feels that he and Lei Yuhao are completely different types of domineering CEO. They have supported each other along the way. She understands him, and he understands her. The only time they both thought of love at the same time was probably when he confessed his feelings.

Luo Bei suddenly felt that all her speculations and thoughts were unnecessary after he left that night.

Didn’t she know him very well? People like him, as he said, don’t have many impulsive moments in their lifetime. His feelings for her couldn’t be summed up in a sentence; they were revealed through the bits and pieces of their time together. How could he feel that they were not suitable because of a change in his identity?

When Zhou Jianguo stood one meter away from her, he looked at her and felt a little disappointed. She hadn’t lost weight because she missed him.

“Miss Luo, hello, I’m Gu Qianyan. Nice to meet you,” he said.
