The tense atmosphere just now calmed down after Brother K and the others left.
Zhao Chengzhi glanced at the bloody ground and took the initiative to invite Zhou Chen to his place for a detailed discussion.
Zhou Chen did not refuse and followed Zhao Chengzhi to his office. The purpose of coming here today was to solve the problem. In his eyes, Brother K could not win the game at all. He had originally planned to meet the person who could call the shots in the casino, but now he is
According to his wishes.
Zhao Chengzhi specially made a cup of tea for Zhou Chen, and his attitude was very friendly. People in their profession are not afraid of getting into trouble, but when they meet a ruthless person like Zhou Chen, they are not willing to offend him. Nowadays, they all pay attention to being friendly and making money.
As a last resort, no one wants to kill anyone.
"My men offended Mr. He and offered tea instead of wine. I will apologize to Mr. He on their behalf."
Zhao Chengzhi picked up the tea cup, saluted Zhou Chen, and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Chen had a high regard for Zhao Chengzhi in his heart. He was a capable person who could bend and stretch.
"Boss Zhao is serious. It was me who indulged a little in Boss Zhao's territory. I should be the one to apologize to you."
If someone gives him face, he will naturally not be ignorant. After all, he is here to settle matters, not to offend the casino to death. It would not be good for anyone if the fish is dead and the net is broken.
Zhao Chengzhi smiled and said kindly: "Mr. He, I already know about your matter. Since it is an apology, let's make something practical. I will make the decision to forgive your 10 million debt."
"No, I appreciate Boss Zhao's kindness, but I owe this money myself. It is only right to pay back debts."
As Zhou Chen spoke, he took out the check from his pocket.
"This is a check of 10 million, which is the gambling debt I owe. This is 2 million, which is the medical expenses I gave Brother K and his family."
The corner of Zhao Chengzhi's mouth twitched. His feelings were prepared before he came. He was sure that they would take action. He even prepared the medical expenses.
"Mr. He..."
"I admire Boss Zhao as a person, but one code equals one code. The amount of money I owe is the amount. I don't recognize the fifteen million that Brother K said, but I will pay for this ten million no matter what."
It has to be paid off.”
Zhao Chengzhi had a wry smile on his face. He was originally planning to waive the ten million yuan and make friends with Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen refused to take the trouble and even prepared the medical expenses. He wanted to make a clean break with them.
After a long silence, seeing Zhou Chen's resolute attitude, he could only accept the check.
"Then I will accept it on behalf of Old K and the others. Many thanks to Mr. He for his generosity."
“So best.”
Zhao Chengzhi put the two checks aside and started chatting with Zhou Chen.
"Where is Mr. He's job?"
"A homeless man."
"Haha, Mr. He is really good at joking."
Zhao Chengzhi naturally wouldn't believe it, but he didn't care either. He would ask Lao K later.
Next, he still chatted with Zhou Chen very enthusiastically, and Zhou Chen also dealt with it, but his attitude was not that enthusiastic, and he could naturally feel it.
Although Zhao Chengzhi was amazed by Zhou Chen's ability and wanted to make friends with him, Zhou Chen adopted this attitude and he did not stop talking warmly. The two chatted for a while, Zhou Chen took the initiative to say goodbye, and Zhao Chengzhi did not hold back.
After Zhou Chen left, Zhao Chengzhi called several of Brother K's subordinates over and asked about the specific situation.
Finally, the bald Jin Wei, who had more contact with Zhou Chen, carefully explained Zhou Chen's situation to Zhao Chengzhi.
Zhao Chengzhi frowned after hearing Zhou Chen's "past" story. He also didn't understand. If he was so cowardly in the past, could he be just pretending?
But he thought for a long time and finally made a decision to tell Lao K and the others not to provoke Zhou Chen again. This man is a lunatic and he has a very rich wife. Now that he has paid back 10 million, there is no need to continue.
Provoke him.
Zhou Chen stayed on Ao Island for a few days, just waiting for Zhao Chengzhi to see if they would retaliate against him. After a few days, there was no movement. He also knew what Zhao Chengzhi and the others meant.
After shopping around Ao Island for a few days, he bought a lot of things, all for Li Muzi. After a trip, he couldn't go back without bringing anything.
Muzi Li has been making video calls to him every day these days, and Zhou Chen answers the call promptly every time. Muzi Li will be very happy when he sees Zhou Chen is not at the casino.
Zhou Chen also knew why she called him from time to time. It was just because she was worried that he would go to the casino to gamble again. It couldn't be said that she didn't trust him, but that she cared too much, so she was worried.
Zhou Chen understands her psychology, so naturally he doesn't feel like she is being watched. He has been with Muzi Muzi for so long. He already knows Muzi Muzi well and knows that she is not the kind of controlling woman, but she really doesn't care about gambling.
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.
In the evening, while he was in the hotel, he took the initiative to make a video call to Muzi Li.
"Honey, I'll go back tomorrow. How do you feel today? Are you still vomiting badly?"
Li Muzi is already three months pregnant, and pregnancy reactions have begun to appear, and vomiting is just one of them.
Li Muzi's face didn't look good, but after seeing Zhou Chen, he still smiled.
"It's much better. It's just that I couldn't sleep well at night because you were away. Just come back tomorrow."
"Well, my flight will arrive soon tomorrow morning."
"Then I'll pick you up at the airport. I'm fine at home anyway and want to see you as soon as possible."
Zhou Chen, who didn't want Li Muzi to run around, could only agree with a smile when he heard this.
Until he boarded the plane, Zhao Chengzhi and Brother K's men did not show up. Zhou Chen knew that the matter was settled. In this world, he would probably not come here again in the future.
The time in our world flies really fast, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two months, Zhou Chen has fully fulfilled his promise. He accompanies Muzi Li every day, painting, walking, shopping, and doing prenatal care...
In short, there are twenty-four hours a day, and the two of them are in each other's sight for at least twenty-two hours, so they can be considered truly inseparable.
In this situation, even if Zhou Chen lived for hundreds of years, he would never do this with any of his women, and Li Muzi was the first.
Being so inseparable has led to Muzi Li becoming more and more in love with and dependent on him.
For Muzi Li, the few months after her wedding anniversary are the happiest time in her life. She can sleep with the one she loves every day, and she can see her beloved as soon as she wakes up. What could be happier than this.
And Zhou Chen gradually got used to this pace of life, and he didn't feel bored at all. He had experienced many separations and separations, and he cherished this ordinary but dependent life of a couple even more.
Because they live a stress-free life, they can live a good life even if they don't have to work, so they can be together every day.
But when there is no source of income at home, such a life is not a comfortable love life, but a noisy dispute over food, rice, oil and salt.
…………
Zhou Chen packed up the dried baby clothes and put them in the cabinet. As soon as he walked to the bedroom door, he heard Li Muzi inside talking to someone over a video.
You don't need to look at him to know that it's Shen Man who is far away abroad. Li Muzi is a senior otaku, and there is no one else who can make her talk through video calls late at night except Shen Man.
"I'm going to give birth in two months. Manman, you said last time that you would go back to China to be with me. When will you come back?" Li Muzi's tone was full of expectation.
"I also want to go back as soon as possible, but there is no way. There is still a drama to be scheduled here. I calculate the time and I can go back before you are born."
"Well, last time you said that there was an investor who wanted to invest in your movie. How was the discussion?"
"I got angry when I talked about this. The investor was ready to invest millions and made a bunch of unreasonable demands. When I got angry, I gave him a reply. I didn't lack his millions, I only needed a few thousand. All right."
Shen Man's tone was full of resentment. Although she is only a drama director now, she also has the dream of rushing to the big screen, but she is still young and still waiting for the opportunity.
"Then do you want me to invest in you?"
"Forget it then. I want to make a movie on my own. I can't use your money. I won't talk about it anymore. How are you doing lately? Is it still difficult for you to fall asleep at night?"
"It's okay now. He Fei gives me a massage every day and coaxes me to sleep at night. It's much better than before. It's just that my belly is big and I have difficulty moving. Manman, you don't know, I weighed myself today and it's already I weigh more than 140 pounds. Oh my God, I look so ugly now. If I ask him, he will tell lies if he says I'm beautiful."
Before she was pregnant, Muzi Li weighed about 110 pounds. After a few months of pregnancy, her weight soared. Now she is more than seven months old and weighs more than 140 pounds. She may still gain weight in the future.
In the video, Shen Man laughed wantonly and did not hide it at all. Li Muzi was so angry that he scolded her.
"I really want to return to China as soon as possible to see what you look like now. The video is definitely different from the real person."
"Humph, sooner or later you will have this day."
"Then you are wrong. I have thought about it for a long time. I will not find a bad man or have children in this life. It is great to be alone. How stupid can I be to find a man to waste my time and money? , it’s enough to have you as my best friend. At worst, when I get old and can no longer move, I will seek refuge with you. You can’t ignore me, right?”
"Don't say it so bluntly. When you meet the right person in the future, you won't say such things."
"This possibility is almost non-existent. My luck has never been as good as yours. It seems that your person has really changed."
Shen Man has often communicated with Li Muzi in the past few months. Although she is busy, Li Muzi is her best friend, and she still takes a lot of time to chat with the pregnant Li Muzi.
The conversation between the two of them was naturally inseparable from Zhou Chen, so she learned from Li Muzi's mouth what Zhou Chen had done in the past few months, and her view of Zhou Chen gradually changed.
She is a drama director and knows that some things cannot be acted out.
