Chapter 371: Duplicity
It was about nine o'clock in the morning when a car stopped outside the door.
"Is Brother Zhou feeling better?" A familiar voice reached Zhou Ruocheng's ears.
Zhou Ruocheng, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, was also stunned, and subconsciously stood up, with a smile on his face, "Eh. Isn't this Brother Lin? How did you get here? ”
Lin Xiangrong still smiled, "I heard yesterday that Brother Zhou was sick, but I came here but didn't see Brother Zhou, and it was inconvenient to disturb after seeing that it was getting late, so I left first, so I came this morning, thinking that I had to see our Brother Zhou before I could rest assured." ”
"Thank you Brother Lin for your concern." Zhou Ruocheng hugged his fists and smiled: "Little brother, I'm really flattered... ”
"But then again, Brother Zhou's body should be quite tough, right? How do you say that if you are sick, you will be sick? Lin Xiangrong asked again.
"Haha, I'm ashamed to say it." Zhou Ruocheng said helplessly, "It's because I take my body too seriously and don't have a good rest, no, that's why my old guy went on strike." ”
"Hahaha." Lin Xiangrong laughed: "Then Brother Zhou, are you feeling better now?" ”
"It's much better, don't you think I can get out of bed and walk now? I can only say that those quacks exaggerate their conditions every time, so that they can make money on you. Zhou Ruocheng said.
"Yes, yes." Lin Xiangrong nodded, "But my brother also listened to my brother's advice, after all, your body is your own, and you can't fall into the root of the disease in your young class." Otherwise, at my age... ”
"Brother Lin, you're laughing again, you're such a healthy person." Zhou Ruocheng looked at Lin Xiangrong and said.
"Eh, it's not as good as before, and now it's a little bit weaker to walk a little longer.。 Lin Xiangrong said helplessly: "I can't compare with you." ”
"Brother Lin, don't say it, I'm like this too, it seems that we have all entered the old age life ahead of schedule." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"Ahhhh Lin Xiangrong snapped his fingers, and someone came over with a gift box.
"These are two thousand-year-old ginseng, specially used to replenish your body, Brother Zhou." Lin Xiangrong said.
"Huh! Huh! Brother Lin! I don't want this thing! Zhou Ruocheng looked resolute, "What are you doing here?" How could such a gift ever been? ”
"A little bit of heart, Brother Zhou is still outside with my brother? As soon as I heard that Brother Zhou, you were sick, and my brother was anxious. Presumably Brother Zhou, you are not used to the weather in our south, so you have to eat something to make up for it. Lin Xiangrong grabbed Zhou Ruocheng's hand and said.
"But Brother Lin, this." Zhou Ruocheng glanced at the gift box with some embarrassment.
"Listen to the eldest brother, if you still have a big brother like me in your heart, take it!" Lin Xiangrong said.
"That... Then I'll be. Zhou Ruocheng really didn't want to accept this gift, but he couldn't help but save face, after knowing the truth yesterday, now he couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach when he saw Lin Xiangrong's smiling appearance.
"You just take it, just a little bit of my heart." Lin Xiangrong said with a smile.
"Then thank you, Brother Lin." Zhou Ruocheng took the gift box in his hand, "That Brother Lin sits." ”
Lin Xiangrong was not restrained, and sat down beside Zhou Ruocheng.
"Oh, Mr. Lin is here." Here, Tang Yunlin also came down from upstairs, and after seeing Lin Xiangrong, he also smiled and stepped forward to say hello.
"Oh, Mrs. Tang, I really took care of it yesterday." Lin Xiangrong hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Mr. Lin, where did you go, we were originally snubbing you, didn't we? Sir, do you have a good apology? Tang Yunlin looked at Zhou Ruocheng and asked.
"Ahh I'm sorry, Brother Lin, yesterday it was mainly the princess, and I really couldn't get out. Zhou Ruocheng said helplessly.
"It's okay, it's okay, it should be, Brother Zhou, your popularity is really good, even people with the status of the princess are your guests, I really admire it, brother." Lin Xiangrong said.
"Haha," Zhou Ruocheng smiled helplessly, what would you think if you told you that we didn't see you on purpose? "Brother Lin, you are serious, I just have some bad fate with the princess, she came to me to ask for a debt, I didn't think so much."
"That. . . Speaking of which... Lin Xiangrong suddenly thought of something, "That Brother Zhou. . . The Zhang Daquan who originally worked under me, I didn't expect you to take him in? ”
Hearing this, Zhou Ruocheng also had a stump in his heart, and smiled bitterly, "Ah... Oh, yes.. Brother Lin... Why do you say that all of a sudden? ”
"Why did my brother take him in this week?" Lin Xiangrong asked.
"Uh... It's nothing.,After all, I caused this Daquan to lose my job.,If it weren't for my whim.,Maybe people should still be sitting in the office now.。。 Zhou Ruocheng smiled.
"You can't say that, after all, this person is a person, yes, Zhang Daquan has been working here for more than ten years, but it doesn't mean that he can rely on his qualifications for more than ten years to rely on me to sell the old, and he secretly ran out on the first day of work, that is, he was at fault first, I don't punish him, and my subordinates can't serve the public." Lin Xiangrong said.
"That's true, but isn't this punishment too heavy, after all, it's really a bit of a mistake to directly ask someone to roll up and leave." Zhou Ruo became difficult.
"Brother, you have to be considerate of me, brother. After all, the person sitting in my position, this is watched by many people, and the person I just appointed does this, if I don't punish him severely, many people will think that I am biased, and even if it is severely punished, you think first, how to deal with him? It's not appropriate to punish me, after all, he is also a person who has been with me for so long, and he will be unwilling to put any position, so it is better to come once and for all. Lin Xiangrong said, "After all, sometimes you have to be ruthless, so that you can set an example." ”
"Oh. Listening to Brother Lin's words, I was also deeply touched... Zhou Ruocheng said with a look of adoration, but he was extremely disdainful in his heart, what kind of fairy brain circuit is this? Looking for an excuse or not a proper one?
"If Brother Zhou, you still think this is inappropriate, then you call Zhang Daquan, now that he is not in the Lin family, it is not impossible for me to apologize to him in private." Lin Xiangrong said.
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Ruocheng was shocked: "Brother Lin, what is your identity, how can you apologize to others?" ”
"It's okay, I also reflected on this matter, although it was a last resort, I also owed a little debt in my heart, so it would be better for me to apologize to him." Lin Xiangrong said, "Please also ask Brother Zhou to call Zhang Daquan, and I will apologize to him." ”
Zhou Ruocheng really didn't expect that although Lin Xiangrong's face was so pious and Zhou Ruocheng knew that he was testing himself, what happened last night may not be Lin Xiangrong already knew!
Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out directly on Zhou Ruocheng's back.
No, wait a minute, calm down, if Lin Xiangrong really knew that his undercover agent had been exposed, he wouldn't have asked this question, he was so eager to see Zhang Daquan just to show that he was also here to confirm!
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhou Ruocheng's mouth rose a little hesitantly, "That... Brother Lin, you don't know. It's really hard for him to come out of this big picture now.。。 ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiangrong was also stunned: "What's wrong?" ”
"That's the case, Brother Lin, last night, our family was a thief." Zhou Ruocheng said with a serious face.
"A thief?" Lin Xiangrong was even more shocked, "What's the matter?" Brother Zhou, are you okay? ”
"It's okay, thanks to Brother Zhang, if it weren't for him, maybe there would be any casualties in our family." Zhou Ruocheng said with a grateful face.
"Oh. . . I see. That Daquan? Lin Xiangrong was still asking.
"Brother Zhang was injured a little, I asked him to go to the hospital for examination, and the doctor meant to stay in the hospital for two days for observation." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"Oh. . . That's right. Lin Xiangrong also ordered
Nodding, "That's a pity. I won't say that for now. ”
Zhou Ruocheng was also relieved, he was really afraid that he would ask which hospital it was, and if he had to go to see it, then this lie would be difficult to fulfill.
"Oh, there's a message too." Lin Xiangrong spoke again: "Yesterday, my younger brother also came to visit you, Brother Zhou?" ”
Zhou Ruocheng was also stunned, "Brother? Which brother? ”
"Brother Zhou, you really know how to laugh, it's my younger brother who was expelled from the house, Lin Yixuan." Lin Xiangrong said.
"Ahh He.. Zhou Ruocheng's face suddenly fell.
"What's wrong, Brother Zhou?" Lin Xiangrong looked at Zhou Ruocheng.
"I've long since stopped treating him as a human being." Zhou Ruocheng replied disdainfully.
"Brother Zhou, what do you mean by that?" Lin Xiangrong was puzzled.
"Brother Lin, don't forget what kind of relationship we have now, this Lin Yixuan is also our enemy, I have nothing to do with him with such a good attitude?" Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"So... Yesterday my brother came, Brother Zhou, you... Lin Xiangrong asked.
"I didn't pay much attention to him, so he just said a word to me and left." Zhou Ruocheng spread his hands, "It seems that he is also going to a dance party, and he won't stay long." ”
"Brother Zhou, but how can you say that this Yixuan also treats you as a friend, if not, why would he come to visit you?" Lin Xiangrong said.
"You think too much about this brother, he came after receiving the news from the Governor of Zhou, let him come to see me? Dream on. Zhou Ruocheng said disdainfully.
"How can I say that?" Lin Xiangrong was also a little helpless, "After all, there are some friendships, Brother Zhou, why do you want to be so unkind to see Yixuan?" ”
"It's not. Eldest brother... Why do you keep saying good things about Lin Yixuan, you must know that Lin Yixuan is your enemy of me... Zhou Ruocheng looked at Lin Xiangrong with a puzzled expression.
"Although I said that, Yixuan is also my younger brother. It's my relatives who are connected by blood... If I could, I'd really like him to come back and reunite with us. Lin Xiangrong said.
Zhou Ruocheng disliked Lin Xiangrong from the bottom of his heart, but his face was very disgusted, "Brother Lin, why don't you say this to Old Man Lin?" ”
"Of course I don't dare to disobey Master Lin's intentions, but I also hope that Brother Zhou still doesn't have such a bad attitude towards Yixuan in ordinary times. After all... Lin Xiangrong's voice was lowered, and he came to Zhou Ruocheng's ear, "After all, this is a long-term plan, if the relationship is stiffened now. It's hard to carry out the action after that. ”
"Oh yes." Zhou Ruocheng suddenly realized: "Brother Lin, what you said is right... ”
"No matter what the result is, I still hope that Brother Zhou can treat Yixuan well, after all, he is so pitiful. Isn't it? Lin Xiangrong's eyes were full of sincerity.
"Okay, okay, Brother Lin, I understand." Zhou Ruocheng said indifferently.
"Brother Zhou. Brother, I am sincerely begging you, after all, I am not going to listen to what the old man says, so I can only come to beg you. Lin Xiangrong grabbed Zhou Ruocheng's hand and said.
Zhou Ruocheng looked at Lin Xiangrong, and finally could only sigh helplessly, "Okay, since Brother Lin said so." ”
"Really? Then thank you, Brother Zhou! Lin Xiangrong shook Zhou Ruocheng's hand gratefully.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay." Zhou Ruocheng felt a pain in his stomach.
"Then it's not too early, I won't disturb Brother Zhou, you have a rest, go first." Lin Xiangrong stood up.
"Huh? What are these words? Brother Lin, it's too late for me to be happy, why don't you stay for lunch?! Zhou Ruocheng also said politely.
"No, no, it's not good if I disturb your rest, I'll go first," Lin Xiangrong said with a smile, and glanced at Tang Yunlin, "Then I'll go first." ”
Zhou Ruocheng watched Lin Yixuan leave, and it wasn't until his car drove away that he sat down, covering his head, really disgusting.
