For Zhou Wenhua to be able to control all the property and power of the Zhou family at such a young age,
Zhou Wenhua's father, Zhou Jiawei, and the concubines he married still had very different opinions.
However, since Zhou Wenhua was born to Zhou Jiawei’s eldest wife,
Moreover, three of Zhou Jiawei’s four sons were born to him.
The only one who was born to his concubine was because he was used to living and drinking in Songhu, so he owed a lot of debts and was unable to pay them back, and his father did not help him repay his creditors.
So he ran away to San Francisco, USA, and his whereabouts are now unknown.
Therefore, these concubines dare to have opinions, but they dare not express them openly. At most, they whisper in private.
Who said that none of them could clean up the boys of the Zhou family?
Moreover, Zhou Jiawei treats their welfare very well. Even after Zhou Wenhua took over all the business and property rights in the family, he still never treated them harshly.
Therefore, these concubines could only complain in private to relieve their anger, and they did not dare to do anything to interfere with Zhou Wenhua's rise to power.
"That Zhou Wenhua seems to have been out for a long time today? I heard that he didn't go to the factory. He seemed to have gone to other places. He also seemed to have taken some checks from the finance department! I heard the amount was huge! I don't know what he wanted.
What to do?"
"Hey! It's fine no matter what he does, as long as he doesn't mean the benefits we deserve. By the way, when did you spy on the finance department? Aren't you afraid that the eldest wife will cause trouble for you?"
"You won't find trouble with me anymore, otherwise you would have done it a long time ago. She is still a very good person. She is not mean or abusive to us sisters. In fact, if you have to be good, you can only be good to yourself.
It’s a shame that we didn’t give birth to a boy, otherwise the family’s business would have been allocated to us!”
"Well! What you said makes sense. Although I'm not very optimistic about Zhou Wenhua, who took over the family's business and finance at such a young age, but now he is the only male in the family, and he has been the only male since childhood.
I was brought along by my master to learn business management and train him to be his heir!"
"Actually, you have been talking about these things for many days, and now it is a foregone conclusion. Anyway, the business at home is given to Zhou Wenhua, and his character is also good. Like the eldest wife, he is not mean to us, and he usually
They also respect us, so I think you should stop complaining. Should we shoot sparrows today? My hands are itchy! If you don’t, I’ll go out and find someone else to shoot them!”
"Fight! Of course I'll fight! I lost a lot of money to you yesterday! That's all my private money! I've been eyeing a lot of the latest clothes and cosmetics this month, so you wait for me today
Kill everyone and win back everything you lost yesterday!"
"Tsk! Just based on your luck, today's big winner is me, not you!"

When Chief Yang's car team arrived at the door of Zhou Wenhua's house and asked the officers and soldiers of the guard to notify Zhou Jiawei's concierge,
In the Zhou family, Zhou Jiawei's aunts and wives were chattering in the garden, talking about various topics.
And there is also a mahjong table set up, ready to play mahjong,
The servants around them were preparing delicious snacks and afternoon tea for them.
"Second wife, third wife, fourth wife, fifth wife!"
"There are navy officers and soldiers outside, and they say that their Commander Yang wants to see our Fourth Young Master!"
"But the fourth young master is not at home, how can I reply to them?"
"Even the eldest lady seems to have gone shopping with her maid!"
Just when these concubines were getting ready to shoot sparrows,
The concierge Li Yiyang, however, hurriedly ran over and reported to them.
"What!"
"The navy is coming to our place?"
"What's going on here?"
"Did the Fourth Young Master and the others offend the Admiralty?"
Hearing this, all the aunts and wives were suddenly startled and their eyes widened.
Especially the second wife, Cai Yanmin, was even more frightened and asked.
Because although officials usually come and go in Zhou Jiawei's home, they are all civilian officials and are related to Zhou Jiawei's business network.
However, no officer from the Navy Department has ever come, and this time, Chief Yang of the Navy Department actually came, which would be surprising if these concubines were not shocked.
Besides being shocked, they were also worried that Zhou Wenhua might have offended someone from the Navy Department and someone would come looking for trouble.
But for their surprise and worry,
The concierge Li Yiyang was also anxiously waiting for the responses from the concubines and what to do next.
And at this time,
Zhou Wenhua's car team also just arrived at the door of his house.
And he also saw the fleet of Admiralty cars parked outside his house.
Seeing this, Zhou Wenhua was also surprised.
However, he still got out of the car, took his bodyguard with him, and walked towards the Admiralty's car queue.
Seeing Zhou Wenhua coming,
The guards of the Navy Department also quickly took weapons and equipment to guard, and were ready to warn the other party and ask the other party what they wanted to come over for.
However, at this time, Commander Yang, who had been sitting in the car, waiting for Li Yiyang, the concierge of Zhou Wenhua's house, to come out and respond, told his guards not to be nervous.
Because before he came, someone had already shown Zhou Wenhua's photo to him, so he immediately recognized that the person he was looking for was Zhou Wenhua.
"Sure enough, a hero emerges from a young boy!"
"At such a young age, he can still have such a good patriotism and donate so much money to our Navy Department!"
In the car, Chief Yang muttered to himself,
He smiled and got out of the car under the protection of his own guards.
Waiting for Zhou Wenhua to come over.
Seeing this, Zhou Wenhua continued to walk over boldly, and asked the bodyguards around him not to follow him.
Soon, Zhou Wenhua came to the car where Chief Yang was.
"I am from the Zhou family. I am Zhou Wenhua, the fourth son of the Zhou family! Are you from the Navy Department?"
After Zhou Wenhua took a look at the guards in navy uniforms in front of him and Chief Yang's officer uniform,
He also smiled and said with a kind and cheerful smile.
"Yes! I heard that you just donated money for a water carrier and a minesweeper to our naval force, so as Chief Yang of the Navy, I came over to thank you Zhou family in person!
"
"I'm from the Navy!"
"Are you Zhou Wenhua?"
Chief Yang was also in a good mood and responded with a smile.
"Yes!"
"You are very welcome to come. It is not convenient to talk here. Please come and sit in the living room. I will entertain you very much!"
Zhou Wenhua responded with a smile and a nod, neither arrogant nor humble.
In front of such a big shot, Zhou Wenhua did not show any nervousness or fear.
Instead, he always showed a friendly smile and responded in an orderly manner.
Regarding Zhou Wenhua's calm and kind performance,
Chief Yang also gave him a high look,
So he smiled and allowed Zhou Wenhua to welcome him politely into the Zhou family's living room.
Only a few of the guards who followed Chief Yang entered Zhou's house, and the rest stayed outside.
Like Zhou Wenhua's bodyguards, they were all waiting in the car queue.
