Night Rose

Zhou Zheng's interest was piqued. Seeing that she was deliberately teasing him and dragging her feet on saying anything, he couldn't help but tickle her.

"Can I still say it?"

"Hahaha, alright, alright, I'll tell you." Su Jin cleared her throat and tapped the table seriously. "Boss Tu, Fatty, I'm planning to sell the race car and add it to the prize money."

"Really for sale?" Tu Ying asked. He was thinking of it, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

Firstly, he didn't contribute any money to the race; the money came from the sponsors.

Secondly, Su Jin had bought a race car for the team, so even if she offered to keep the car for herself, no one would object.

Su Jin suggested adding the racing money to the prize money, which would essentially be half a boss giving out benefits.

"Sell it! I'll make a replica of the same racing car and give it to Boss Tu. You can use it to make money and display it in the tavern as a decoration," Su Jin said with a smile.

Tu Ying immediately slammed her hand on the table, "Hey! Sister Su, you know me too well! Sure, having a model that looks the same is great, we can use it for publicity, people will definitely come to take photos."

"I have no objection." Wang Tianle blushed, not daring to glance at Su Jin.

Sister Su and Brother Zhou are dating? This really makes him a little embarrassed.

"I have no objection, but I want to keep the helmet as a souvenir." Zhou Zheng took Su Jin's hand under the table. "It's a gift from you."

Wang Tian added, "Me too."

After saying that, he wanted to slap himself. How could he speak without thinking?!

"No, what I meant was, I also wanted to keep it as a souvenir. Thank you, Sister Su."

Zhou Zheng couldn't help but laugh at him, "Fatty, you already know, why are you still pretending to be so serious?"

It turned out that Zhou Zheng had overheard their conversation, and not only Zhou Zheng, but Su Jin had also heard it.

"You two were too good at pretending, I didn't even notice," Wang Tianle said resentfully.

"Okay, okay! You can keep the helmets as souvenirs. I can hang the racing suits in the store, put a display case on the bar, and renovate the store with a racing theme. My god, that's so cool!" Tu Ying already had a rough idea in his mind, and the money for the renovation was secured. He was counting on the money from selling racing cars.

"Now that you've covered the team's plans, what about you?" Zhou Zheng asked.

Su Jin said in a low voice, "I'll find a car fleet to continue working, or find a company. I can't possibly study with you, little brother."

Zhou Zheng squeezed her knuckles in displeasure. "Don't go to work."

"What? If I don't go to work, will you support me?" Su Jin teased him, blinking her eyes.

"Mm," Zhou Zheng replied. He could afford it. The shares of the Zhou Group that his mother gave him were enough for him to live a life of luxury for three lifetimes.

If he wanted it, the Zhou Group would be his.

"I don't want you to support me. I want to do what I like." Su Jin chuckled. Being a racing engineer is what she likes, and her goal is to modify a racing car to achieve the world's best time.

"If you don't work hard, I might consider taking care of you."

Zhou Zheng sneered, "Sister, there's no need to consider this. I don't accept being kept."

The interaction between the two was so sweet it made people envious. Tu Ying patted her stomach, pulled the third wheel to her feet, and said, "You two keep with your sweet talk, I'm leaving first."

Before retreating, Tu Ying suddenly remembered something important.

"By the way, Zhou Zheng, the big boss who's sponsoring you wants you to call him. I'm thinking he might try to poach you. You should call him back and decline."

"Okay," Zhou Zheng replied calmly.

His phone was still in Su Jin's bag. After the competition, he didn't even glance at it; he was too tired and just wanted to rest.

Su Jin finished eating, and the two put on their down jackets. Zhou Zheng held her hand and put it in his pocket to warm it.

After drinking the wine, they felt warm all over and didn't get cold on the way back.

"I'm going to make a phone call first." Zhou Zheng took the phone and walked to the balcony.

Su Jin nodded in agreement and sat on the sofa scrolling through her phone.

The balcony glass was closed, providing excellent sound insulation. You could only hear a buzzing sound of people talking, but you couldn't make out what they were saying.

A breaking local news item popped up at the top of my phone screen: "The head of the Zhou Group is seriously ill; who will take over this behemoth?"

Su Jin wanted to cross it out, but accidentally clicked on it.

The first thing you see is a large picture of a middle-aged man lying on a hospital bed with his eyes closed, looking sickly.

Su Jin's hand stopped on the screen. Hey, why does this person look so familiar?

But when she looked at the people in the photo again, she couldn't remember them at all.

People look quite different when they are sick. This photo doesn't look like it was taken properly; it looks like it was taken secretly, and it's somewhat distorted.

As she watched Zhou Zheng standing in the sunlight making a phone call, she suddenly realized that this person actually bore a resemblance to Zhou Zheng in their features.

Zhou Zheng held the phone to his ear, saw Su Jin looking at him, and smiled at her.

That laugh disrupted Su Jin's train of thought. She scrolled past the news and looked down to continue playing on her phone.

"Young Master, we finally have news from you." Wu Ting sighed, his voice low as if afraid of being overheard.

"What happened?" Zhou Zheng asked.

"Sudden cerebral hemorrhage, spent a day in the ICU."

"The old man has always been in poor health, but he only had a cough. How could he suddenly have a cerebral hemorrhage?"

"I also think there's a problem, but I'm just a secretary, I'm not qualified to investigate this, and I might be fired soon. If you don't come back to take charge, the family fortune will be taken away."

"Legally speaking, he can't take it away."

"Yes, the old man didn't leave him any shares. He probably didn't expect this day to come so soon, or perhaps he was still wary of the mother and son."

"Okay, I'll be right back." Zhou Zheng hung up the phone and calmed down on the balcony for a few minutes.

The Zhou Group represents his mother's hard work, and she transferred the shares to him to prevent others from bullying him.

If Zhou Ruian, who was admitted to the ICU under unclear circumstances, does not step forward, Zhou Chengzhuo will only intensify his attacks on him after seizing power.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

With so many shares in the group, he had long been a thorn in the side of others.

Zhou Zheng entered the house looking weathered and his complexion was not good.

"What's wrong? Did he make things difficult for you? Such a big boss, he can't be that petty, can he?" Su Jin hugged the person tightly with heartache.

Zhou Zheng took the initiative to hug her tightly, feeling awful just thinking about all that mess.

He rubbed his temples and asked patiently, "It's almost Chinese New Year. Are you coming back to Nanyuan with me, or would you like to go home first?"

Su Jin also felt a little guilty. By asking her mother and grandmother to watch the live stream, she was essentially revealing her relationship with Zhou Zheng. The two of them might be waiting at home for her to interrogate them when she got back.

"I'll go home first. I've told my mom everything." Su Jin rested her chin on his chest, looking at him with bright eyes.

Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "Ah, you confessed?"

"Yeah, I told my mom to let her watch the game, and you carried me on your back during the game and gave me the championship medal. Even a blind person could see that we're having an affair!" Su Jin said shyly.

She waited for a while, then looked up and saw Zhou Zheng staring blankly. She bit his lip angrily, "Say something! What are you daydreaming about?"
