An Qing was very curious about what they said about Zhou Zheng.
Jing Si drove to the place where Zhou Zheng lived, and it was already dark.
He lives in a residential building in an alley.
As the car stopped, she could still hear the sharp barking of dogs around her. An Qing hurriedly hid behind Sheng Xingzhou, fearing that a dog might run out!
Sheng Xingzhou hurriedly protected An Qing, and he couldn't help but ask Jing Si: "Are you sure he lives here?"
Jingsi: "I checked the navigation four times and confirmed his address, and this is it!"
An Qing and Sheng Xingzhou looked at each other and couldn't help but said: "Maybe this is the master who hides in the city. We are tired of living in those luxurious villas!"
Sheng Xingzhou smiled and nodded, "My wife is right."
Jing Si parked the car behind, and the two of them walked towards Zhou Zheng's small courtyard.
Although it is a small courtyard surrounded by walls, it can be seen that the surrounding area is very dilapidated. In the city, such old houses are really rare.
Before they could knock on the iron door, Zhou Zheng had already walked out of the house.
Damn it, he still had a flashlight in his hand.
"I'm sorry, I just came back here and many places haven't had time to be repaired."
Zhou Zheng's voice revealed the calmness of a middle-aged man. Although his temples were a bit gray, it might be due to his long-term fitness training. His body was very tall and straight, and he exuded the charm of an uncle of his age.
An Qing looked up at him, and a familiar breath rushed to her face.
Zhou Zheng was busy showing them the way and didn't pay attention to An Qing's eyes.
When he arrived in the room, Zhou Zheng received An Qing's gaze, and he also looked at her in surprise.
"Why does this little girl keep looking at me?"
An Qing shook her head, "Maybe it's because you are so kind!"
Sheng Xingzhou introduced: "Mr. Zhou, this is my wife, her name is An Qing."
Zhou Zheng nodded, his eyes staying on An Qing's face, as if there was something hidden in his eyes.
Sheng Xingzhou gently touched An Qing's arm and said, "Call Mr. Zhou."
An Qing quickly reacted and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Zheng smiled and withdrew his appraising eyes.
"I didn't expect you, Xiao Sheng, to get married at such a young age, and your wife looks very young."
Sheng Xingzhou smiled and said, "Yes, she is still studying, and we got the certificate just after she reached the age of marriage!"
Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, a hint of hidden hurt flashed in his eyes.
He whispered with emotion: "That's great..."
Next to him, an assistant who was about the same age as him hurriedly asked them to sit down and served them tea.
An Qing couldn't help but look around. The walls were all mottled. Although they cleaned them very clean, there was still a stale smell in the air.
This is the reason why no one has lived here for a long time.
Zhou Zheng and Sheng Xingzhou had already sat down to talk. An Qing looked at a painting on the wall and her eyes were attracted.
The people in the painting...
They are a young man and woman, wearing white shirts and black pants, smiling naturally at the camera.
Why does this painting feel so familiar?
An Qing racked her brains but couldn't remember where she had seen it.
Suddenly, she thought of the old photo her uncle gave her in the afternoon.
She couldn't help but lower her head to rummage through her bag.
I just put my bag in the car and forgot to take it off!
"Mrs. Xiao Sheng is very interested in this painting?" Zhou Zheng didn't know when he had stood up with Sheng Xingzhou and was looking at her.
An Qing turned around and smiled awkwardly.
"I just think it looks pretty."
Zhou Zheng looked away, and then said with some sigh: "This painting was originally a photo, but I accidentally lost it and couldn't find it again. I just drew it roughly based on my memory.
"
After finishing speaking, he smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that my painting skills are limited, and my painting is really unsatisfactory."
This painting is a photograph…
An Qing's heart sank. Could it be the same as her photo?
Immediately, she quickly dismissed her guess.
I just feel like I'm being fanciful. Zhou Zheng is of Chinese descent, which means he has been living abroad.
How could he possibly have anything to do with his mother?
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a noise outside the door, and she took the initiative: "You guys chat, I'll pick up Jing Si."
She turned on the flashlight of her phone and walked towards the door.
Zhou Zheng looked at the dilapidated houses around him, smiled and said to Sheng Xingzhou: "I'm making you laugh, I'm not stingy and have to live here. This is the house where the people in my painting lived before.
, I asked someone to secretly buy it for me. I plan to live here for a while and feel the traces of her stay."
Hearing what Zhou Zheng said, Sheng Xingzhou was quite shocked.
Seeing that his business methods are extremely ruthless, I thought he was a cold-blooded person.
But I didn't expect it to have such a delicate side.
"Why doesn't Mr. Zhou go find her? Although you may have missed some years, it's not impossible to renew your relationship."
Zhou Zheng shook his head sadly: "No chance. I found out the news from my old classmate. She got married, had a child, broke off all relationships with her classmates, and has been dead for many years..."
Zhou Zheng's expression was one of loneliness.
"That's a pity indeed."
Just as he was talking, An Qing and Jing Si came in, and they sat next to each other to talk about business.
An Qing was looking at the furnishings in the house. Maybe Zhou Zheng had just moved in. There weren't many new items in the house, they were all old things.
But An Qing felt it was very familiar, and she couldn't describe the familiar feeling.
When she looked at the painting again and was lost in thought, she heard Zhou Zheng say very directly: "You are looking for the wrong person when you come to me. Although I want to seize the mining rights of the Gao family, I am only hindering
Regarding business considerations, I have no prejudice against Gao Yongzheng. I am even less interested in expanding the market to your city."
"My beloved later married in this city. Thinking of her husband being there, I will never set foot in this city in my life!"
Sheng Xingzhou: "In that case, we won't disturb Mr. Zhou!"
An Qing turned around and saw that Sheng Xingzhou had already stood up. Jing Si wanted to say something but was pulled up by Sheng Xingzhou!
Sheng Xingzhou said goodbye politely.
Zhou Zheng nodded, looked at the assistant next to him, and picked up the greeting gifts they brought over, intending to return them to their car.
"A little care is not a valuable thing. Mr. Zhou, don't be too arrogant!"
Zhou Zheng shook his head, "No reward for no merit."
Jing Si took a deep breath and glanced at Sheng Xingzhou regretfully.
His eyes were full of disappointment, and finding Zhou Zheng was the most effective way to resolve their current crisis.
But Zhou Zheng not only refused to join forces with them, he was even unwilling to go to the city.
I don’t know how long the stalemate between Zhou Zheng and the Gao family will last, but their port can no longer be delayed!
Orders are rejected every day, there is no way to make money, so many ships are idle, and money is spent every day to support and maintain them.
Thinking of these, Jingsi's heart was so anxious that his heart was on fire.
But no matter how anxious you are, there is nothing you can do. A person like Zhou Zheng who always speaks his mind will not change his mind easily.
An Qing watched Sheng Xingzhou walking towards her, held her hand, and was about to take her away.
They've broken down.
After walking a few steps, An Qing suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Zhou Zheng: "Mr. Zhou, I have something to tell you!"
