Chapter 1244: Chapter 1244: Big Brother, You Are So Good to Me

Zou Yi had already investigated Ji Fang’s professional capabilities after returning yesterday, and the result was simply unbearable.

“If the secretary’s capabilities are subpar, it’s the third brother who suffers. He has never struggled this much since he was young, nor has he ever lived so modestly.”

Zhou Hengyang touched his nose, feeling somewhat guilty. He still decided not to tell Zou Yi that the third brother was also doing a part-time job in his factory. Although it was part-time, he was pressed so hard he almost sold himself into servitude.

He would rather face his younger uncle than confront Zou Yi’s benevolent face.

“You’ve come back suddenly, what about your studies?”

“Big brother, I already have a Ph.D.; there’s no need to continue,” said Zou Yi, feeling wronged, “I’ve wanted to come back earlier, but third brother wouldn’t let me; he insisted that I continue my studies. I had no choice but to work exceedingly hard to come back sooner.”

Zhou Hengyang helplessly cradled his head, thinking to himself, your diligence will make all of us seem undetermined.

No wonder the third brother is displeased with you.

Serves him right!

“Ahem! Have the third brother take the call.”

“Third brother is currently in a meeting, please give me one minute,” said Zou Yi without rambling, displaying exceptional professionalism and an intricate understanding of complex relationships, such as which calls could be blocked directly, which needed to be passed on, and which needed to be answered immediately.

In this regard, Ji Fang was truly inadequate.

More often than not, Ji Fang was still just an immature youth.

In less than a minute, the person on call changed to Zhou Hengguang.

“Big brother, you have to save me; Zou Yi is back, and I’m doomed,” Zhou Hengguang complained unbearably as soon as he took the call, “Who has been reporting on me behind my back? It wasn’t you, was it, big brother?”

“Of course not,” Zhou Hengyang immediately disassociated himself from the issue, “I only found out when I called you; I guess it was uncle.”

It wasn’t a guess—he could guarantee it was the uncle who had called Zou Yi; apart from him… Well! Many could do such a thing, but the suspect list was topped by the uncle.

“I guessed it was the uncle too,” Zhou Hengguang scoffed, “Just wait! I’ll introduce a few more matchmaking prospects to him soon.”

“That will definitely drive the uncle mad,” Zhou Hengyang reveled in another’s misfortune, delighted, “I’m about to become a father, and he’s still single; the pressure must be even greater, and he’s more disliked.”

“Exactly, and I’ve heard that Xu Family is also looking for a wife; he and Xu Xiyi would make a matched pair.”

Thus, the brothers couldn’t help but laugh together in an unsportsmanlike manner.

“Right, big brother, you must have heard about what happened with the Song family?” Zhou Hengguang abruptly changed his tone, adding a trace of gravity, his voice ice-cold, “The Song family is ridiculous; who are they performing these acts for now!”

“I know. I called you to ask for your help,” Zhou Hengyang turned his head and glanced sideways; his wife had already gone to advise Su Qing and her sisters on how to pack up, probably done soon, so he cut to the chase, “Jin Yan is planning to send Jia Ming back to Trinity village today, and Su Qing is taking her two sisters back…”

Zhou Hengyang hadn’t finished speaking when Zhou Hengguang’s lazy and listless demeanor suddenly perked up, tightening his grip on the phone unconsciously.

“I don’t want your sister-in-law to go back since she’s pregnant; you go with them this time to support Su Qing and her sisters. Remember, don’t let anyone bully them.”

“Big brother, I will,” Zhou Hengguang’s pale yet nobly handsome face instantly brightened with a pleased smile, “Big brother, you are really good to me.”
