Chapter 579 Zhou Liang’s Son
The wedding was grand. People from all over the world came and looked at the newlyweds on the stage.

"Tsk, getting married in a rich family is different."

"Today's wedding will cost at least several million."

"How many millions? Tens of millions?"

"."

The two newcomers on the stage spoke various words under the guidance of the emcee.

Tai Zhou An patted Hou Mengting's back, hoping to comfort her fragile heart.

Although Hou Mengting yelled at her daughter to kill her, she actually loved Zhou Lingmeng very much, even more than Zhou Liang. Zhou Liang did not need the care of others at all, and his own psychological ability was strong enough.

Therefore, Hou Mengting gave her love to her daughter who was not very smart.

"Alas!" Yuan Yu was also comforting Hou Mengting next to her, "Sister, how about they stay at your house."

"No." Hou Mengting's eyes were red, with tears shining in them, and she replied stubbornly.

Hou Mengting and her sisters took her and left.

"I didn't expect that." Zhou An raised his eyes and looked at the two children on the stage.

"Indeed." Deng Hengtao nodded, "In the blink of an eye, I changed from an old daughter-in-law to a daughter-in-law. The old daughter is gone, and the daughter-in-law is now there. Brother An, do you think I have made a profit or a loss every time I come here?"

Zhou An was too lazy to pay attention to this bad friend. He looked at the newlyweds with high spirits and a bright smile on his face, and suddenly fell into memories.

Suddenly he remembered the scene when he and Hou Mengting got married. It was the same, with endless stories.

What happened more than 20 years ago is still deeply etched in my mind.

In a blink of an eye, he was getting older and was about to become a grandfather, and the Zhou family was blossoming.

Thinking of this, he suddenly came back to his senses and looked in another direction.

Zhou Liang was seen wearing a black suit. His tall figure made the suit look cool and straight, and he had a handsome face, attracting the attention of many girls.

At this moment, a girl was chatting with him, but he smiled slightly, then refused, and the girl walked away disappointed.

As if aware of the gaze, Zhou Liang also looked towards Zhou An and smiled when he saw it was his father. The latter snorted lightly and looked dissatisfied.

"What are you doing, Uncle Zhou? Are you so angry?" Kang Yi walked in next to Zhou Liang with a glass of wine in hand and one hand in his pocket, looking in that direction, confused.

"It's normal to marry your daughter," Zhou Liang replied.

Kang Yi nodded, feeling suddenly in his heart: "Hey! Brother Xi is married, Brother Meng is married, our small group has lost half of its members at once, what will we do in the future?"

Having said this, Kang Yi asked the young man: "What about you? After seeing such a romantic scene, do you really have no plans to get married? When you get old, it is very tragic to be alone. I don't ask you to get married, so you can talk about it. Let’s have a love affair, otherwise you will regret it.”

"That's 100 percent certain because it's human nature."

Zhou Liang has been single for more than [-] years, and no girl can even come close to him.

The same goes for school, and the same goes for work.

If he hadn't known this boy well, Kang Yi would have thought there was something wrong with his sexual orientation.

Hearing this, Zhou Liang shrugged.

Kang Yi snapped his fingers and drank the wine in one gulp: "I want to ask you a question, and you must answer me honestly."

"ask."

"Of all the girls you've come into contact with, who do you feel most comfortable with?" Kang Yi put his hand in his pocket, "You can only choose one."

Zhou Liang thought for a moment: "Li Lin."

"Then you like her."

"."

Zhou Liang didn't respond, just smiled lightly.

The wedding of Deng Xi and Zhou Lingmeng came to an end.

The two children grew up together, went to school together, played together, and finally came together to conceive a baby and have a child of love.

I have to say, this is a beautiful thing.

Zhou Lingmeng moved to Deng's house and became someone else's daughter-in-law, but she had to go home every day or stay at home for a few days, and she didn't look like she was married at all.

It was still the same as before, she was running around between the two families.

Deng Xi also ran back and forth between two families.

Deng Hengtao and the others were accustomed to pampering Zhou Lingmeng almost dotingly and did not care about his behavior.

The two families already have an inseparable relationship.

After getting married, Zhou An and Hou Mengting went on a trip again. They were not even halfway through their planned trip, and they had to continue running around. This couple took their laziness to the extreme.

"Milk, I'm leaving." After breakfast, Zhou Liang said hello to Lu Yulan, and then asked Zhou Lingmeng, who was "lying corpse" next to him: "If you don't go to work or go to school, why are you getting up so early?"

Zhou Lingmeng looked at the ceiling and replied in a despairing tone: "Did you get up early? I didn't sleep! This naughty child was in my stomach all night last night. I really want to take a knife and cut my stomach open. Let’s see what it means to be pregnant, Nezha? Then I’m going to have sex with him.”

Zhou Liang smiled.

The wicked have their own grind.

Even Zhou Nuxia couldn't withstand the torture of her child.

He didn't say much and drove away.

It was too late to go out today, and there were traffic jams all over the city. Zhou Liang took a look at it, decided not to waste time in traffic jams, turned the steering wheel, and headed towards Yuedu Time.

Arriving at the destination soon.

It is spring now, and the sun rises slowly, shining in front of the door of Yuedu Time.

I saw a little boy at the door, about two or three years old, very cute and cute, sitting at the door obediently, helping his mother guard the store.

Seeing the car stop, the little boy seemed to recognize the car. A bright smile appeared on his chubby face. He stretched out his arms and ran towards Zhou Liang: "Dad."

Facing the little boy approaching, Zhou Liang knelt down, caught the former and hugged him tightly.

The little boy stayed in his arms, hugging his neck and kissing his face.

"Are you good Cen Cen today?" Zhou Liang didn't pay attention to the little boy's behavior. He shaved the bridge of his nose and asked with a chuckle.

"Be good." The little boy Cen Cen replied with his sweet voice.

"very nice."

Zhou Liang then carried Cen Cen and walked to the bookstore.

Entering the bookstore, the environment is still the same as before. Yue Reading Time has been open for many years. The environment has not changed at all, and the original intention has not changed at all, to provide a good environment for those who love books.

Although it is now morning work time, customers have already come to the door, smiling and nodding at Zhou Liang, and then they are immersed in their personal world.

And Ran Qiu classified the new books and put them in the appropriate places.

"Mom." As soon as he saw Ran Qiu, the little boy Cen Cen opened his arms and wanted her to hug him.

"Mom has something to do, please stay in your father's arms." Ran Qiu did not pick up Cen Cen.

The little boy Cen Cen is a sensible and good boy. He is not annoyed that his enthusiasm is not reciprocated. He holds Zhou Liang's neck with his hands and watches his mother doing things.

"Tsk."

Zhou Liang smacked his lips and motioned for Ran Qiu to take the child over. After the latter took over, he began to flip through the books and sit down to sort out some work.

Ran Qiu walked to the counter, took out a carton of milk from her handbag, inserted the straw into it, and then put it to Cen Cen's mouth.

"Why do you have time to come today?"

Zhou Liang answered honestly: "It's too late to go out."

"Did you think of me when you were stuck in traffic? What do you think of my place?" Ran Qiu rolled his eyes, "I thought you were finally so kind that you were willing to see your biological son? You are also a heartless man. What a shame. Cen Cen often talks about you, but you don’t feel anything at all, do you?”

Zhou Liang looked at the little boy but didn't respond.

Cen Cen was not his son, nor Ran Qiu's son. He had no blood relationship with either of them. He was a child adopted by Ran Qiu.

Because when Cen Cen was a child, he did not have the normal reactions of normal people, such as talking, walking, and behaving, so his parents abandoned him.

Ran Qiu happened to be passing by, discussed with his parents, and adopted him.

Unexpectedly, Cen Cen was a little older and behaved like a normal person, talking, walking, etc.

Maybe Zhou Liang is a man he sees often, so he regards the former as his father, and often calls him daddy.

And Zhou Liang really likes children, so he can call them whatever he wants. It's boring to argue too much with children.

From then on, Zhou Liang became his father and Ran Qiu became his mother.

When the three of them walk on the road, people often think that they are a family of three.

While sorting out the books, Zhou Liang said, "Don't you really want to get married?"

Ran Qiu hugged her son, shook it gently, and shook her head: "I used to imagine how wonderful it would be to get married and have a husband and a child. But after having this child, it suddenly seemed meaningless. Having a husband So what? Today he is your husband, but tomorrow he might be someone else’s husband.

What about children?Cen Cen is already very well-behaved, but I often still have to worry about taking care of him. If I give birth to a child who is not well-behaved, my lifespan will be shortened by at least ten years. "

Ever since Ran Qiu adopted Cen Cen, she has no idea of ​​getting married.Living alone is pretty good.

When Ran Qiu was young, he went to various places of entertainment and entertainment, and saw too many men. While holding a girl in his arms, he called his wife at home and said things like how much he loves you and how love lasts forever.

Seeing it makes people angry

She didn't want to be the woman who stayed at home and was a widow.

Zhou Liang pushed the trolley and put the books on the bookshelf: "It's not that serious."

"Serious! Extremely serious." Ran Qiu followed and retorted, "Oh, you have never taken care of a child. You don't know how painful it is to take care of a child. He screams when he is hungry, cries when he is cold, and urinates directly on the spot. No A little pre-reaction. Take Cen Cen as an example."

Then Ran Qiu expressed her bitterness to Zhou Liangda, saying how difficult it was to be a mother, especially a single mother.

Zhou Liang listened to the words with a smile on his face.

Although his words were full of complaints, he could see that Ran Qiu enjoyed taking care of the children. Since having the children, he has become much younger and has a lot more smiles on his face.
After Ran Qiu finished speaking, he asked him: "What about you? Do you also want to be single all your life? You are the only son in the family, and the family relies on you to continue the family lineage and pass on the incense. You will not let the Zhou family's foundation be ruined in your own hands, right? Then You have committed a heinous crime."

"Besides, you have earned so much money that you will never be able to spend it all in your lifetime. You have to find a child to help you spend it."

After a pause, he continued: "I think Li Lin is really good, you can think about it. Over the years, apart from her, are there any other girls who have maintained a relationship with you for more than a month? Probably not, and Li Lin’s relationship with you has lasted four years.”

"Four years, four whole years, what a wonderful youth it was."

Zhou Liang shrugged: "It's been a long time."

"It takes a long time to prove that it is meaningful. If it is short, it is not worth remembering." Ran Qiu responded, then waved his hand, "Forget it, I am too lazy to nag you more, you just don't know the blessings in the midst of blessings, and when a certain time comes, you will You will know how stupid your choice is. Even though you are a big boss and have read so many books, you really are not as good at judging people as I am."

Ran Qiu did not continue, while holding Cen Cen in his arms, he directed Zhou Liang to put the books in the appropriate places.

Neither of them would know who is the bookstore owner.

After I finished my work, it was already past nine in the morning, and the sun was high in the sky.

Zhou Liang clapped his hands and prepared to go to work. There should be no traffic jam at this time. Ran Qiu stopped him and took out another carton of milk from his handbag. He did not refuse, nodded and left immediately.

"Dad." Seeing Zhou Liang leaving, Cen Cen stretched out his arms reluctantly.

"I'll take a break in a few days and take you to Disneyland." Zhou Liang pinched his chubby face.

Watching the BMW disappear into the busy traffic, Ran Qiu slowly withdrew his gaze, revealing complex emotions in his eyes.

He said to himself: "Your dad is such a weird person. He is not easy to see in the world. I hope your dad will find his way soon. In fact, your Aunt Li Lin is really good. She bought you a lot of toys and clothes. You have to remember her."

After saying that, Ran Qiu carried the child into the house and got ready for work.

Now she has no thoughts about Zhou Liang, and focuses more on Cen Cen. Cen Cen is the one who affects her heart. She just hopes that Zhou Liang will have a good ending.

"Morning Zhou."

"Morning, make me a cup of tea, thank you."

"Ok."

When entering the company, employees met Zhou Liang and greeted them one by one, and he responded with a smile.

He still can't be like other bosses, who keep a straight face and a serious look when they see their subordinates, just to create the boss's authority and superiority.

"Wow, thank you, Mr. Zhou." A subordinate who had just joined the company couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

"What's the matter? No matter what Mr. Zhou tells us to do, we will always say thank you. Sorry for the trouble."

"Mr. Zhou is simply my idol in my eyes. He is handsome, capable, and humble. Oh my god, why are all the advantages concentrated in the same person? Is that a human being? No, that is a god!"

"Mr. Zhou can only watch from a distance but not play with it."

"I don't know what kind of girl is worthy of him."

"That girl must have accumulated a lot of virtue in her previous life."

"."

Zhou Liang walked into the office. There was a pile of documents on the table. He sat down and flipped through the documents.

It has been several years since he took over the company. Fortunately for him, he did not bankrupt the company or waste his parents' hard work.

It has even made small achievements in the film and television industry, successfully transforming a short video company into a short video and film and television drama media company.

Of course, the influence in the film and television industry is not as great as that of short videos, but it is still pretty good.

Everything in Anting's company is on track. Filming, short videos, and live broadcasts are all proceeding in an orderly manner.

The company's valuation has reached billions, and compared to similar companies, they have deeper roots in the short video industry and have better profits.

During this time, people have been coming to the company to persuade him, hoping that the company will be listed and enter a broader platform.

Zhou Liang thought for a moment and then refused.

The most important purpose of the company's listing is to raise funds and solve the company's capital problems. However, Anting Co., Ltd. has no financing needs for the time being, so it does not want to go public.

Moreover, perhaps because he has been working for a long time, Zhou Liang has become more lazy and less concerned about company affairs than before.

If a suitable person can be found to manage the company, he will be the first to resign and leave without any hesitation.

Nowadays, he seems to be more able to understand his father Zhou An's lifestyle and attitude.

In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that a small amount of wealth means you are content and unmotivated, but a problem arises here.

What is progress?

Money means advancement?
That would be too arbitrary.

Zhou Liang believes that living according to the way you like and treating the new day with [-]% enthusiasm is called progress.

Even if you just play games for a day and do nothing, as long as you are happy, then the day is meaningful.

Anyway, Zhou Liang feels that going to work every day now is the most meaningless thing.

Thinking of this, he stopped looking through the documents, walked to the window, and looked down at all the living beings, all running for scraps of silver.

I don't know how long he stood in front of the window, but his brows never relaxed.

Zhou Liang suddenly had an idea in his mind, and as the seconds passed, the idea became more and more firm. Then he gritted his teeth, walked to the table, and made an internal call: "Call Mr. Ren, Mr. Xiang, and Mr. Gao for me. , I have something to do, please trouble you."

After a while, Ren Zi, Xiang Jing, and Gao Yurong came. The three of them were the highest-ranking people in the company except Zhou Liang. They all looked at him curiously.

"Um" Zhou Liang gave the three of them a glass of water and said slowly: "The three of them are my elders, so I'll be blunt. I want to go out for a trip, and I hope that the three elders can help me." Clean up the company.

Of course, I don’t just leave the company when I travel. If the company needs something that I need to deal with urgently, you can call me and I will deal with it promptly outside. "

After a pause, he continued: "As for other trivial matters, I still trouble three elders. The company is like this now. If you want to continue to grow bigger, you have to go public and share the benefits of shares with others. My parents personally handed over the company. What comes into my hands, I do not want to differentiate between others’ interests.”

When a company reaches a certain level, it must share its interests with others. Going public is a way of sharing interests. When others make money, you will naturally make money as well, and then make more money.

This is the law of the game and no one can escape it.

Zhou Liang does not want to go public or share the interests of others, which means that the company has reached the ceiling level of not sharing, which is the highest level.

No matter how the company is run, it is unlikely to achieve much.

Do business.

You make money, I make money, win-win.

If you don’t let me make money, I can’t let you make money.

It's very simple.

If Anting Company can no longer become big, then there is no point in struggling. Just keep driving along the established track.

Zhou Liang, the so-called chairman, actually doesn't play much role in the company. Most things are left to the employees.

He is just a decoration.

That being the case, let it go.

After listening to Zhou Liang's words, the three of them looked at each other, Xiang Jing sighed, and said: "Alas! You Zhou family are indeed a virtuous family. Your mother is the same, your father is the same, and you are the same. You don't want to live a good life. I’m at work and I’m too lazy to help the soy sauce bottle if it falls over.”

Anting Company has three directors, all of whom are lazy.

"Go away, go away." Xiang Jing waved his hand, "Anyway, the company will be the same with or without you."

"Thank you, aunt." Zhou Liang bowed, and also bowed to the other two vice presidents, "Don't worry, I will also read company documents and express my opinions outside."

"Your dad used to say that all the time."

"."

The three vice presidents did not stop Zhou Liang, they looked at each other and agreed immediately.

There is nothing you can do if you don't agree. Zhou Liang is the top manager of the company. Even Zhou An and Hou Mengting have nothing to do with him. After all, they have already transferred their shares to Zhou Liang.

Today, the couple are strangers to the company.

Of course, before Zhou Liang left the company, he asked his parents for their opinions. Their opinions were:

It's up to you, it's not my company anyway, so you can do whatever you like.

Looking at Zhou Liang's leaving figure, his joyful steps seemed to escape from a cage, Xiang Jing sighed, she was very unlucky to meet such a family.

"Do we three sisters owe their family?" A question arises.
