Zhou Zhiyuan came from a noble family with many sisters and brothers. He is the third most promising one and is now the general manager of the Zhou Group.
The most eye-catching event in the elite circle of C city recently is probably the marriage of Zhou Ling and his family. Zhou Zhiyuan's elder sister and elder brother are already married, and he has a younger sister who is 23 years old this year and should have married the Ling family.
But his younger sister, Zhou Zhishan, didn’t listen to the family’s arrangements since she was a child. I heard that one of the two sons of the Ling family was blind and the other was an illegitimate child. Zhou Zhishan was unwilling to say anything. After a few days of hunger strike, Zhou Zhiyuan decided Marry with the Ling family.
He has never met the young master of the Ling family, but only heard about it from others. It is said that the young master of the Ling family has an outstanding appearance, shining like a diamond, and every time he attends a banquet, he will fascinate a group of girls to death. In addition, the eldest son of the Ling family is extremely intelligent. He has been the first in his grade since he was a child. He was also the top student in liberal arts in C city during the college entrance examination-even if the competition bonus points are removed, his score is still much higher than the second. Although most people in the circle Everyone sends their children to study abroad, but everyone still cares about the title of champion.
Zhou Zhiyuan didn't pay much attention to this, he didn't take the college entrance examination, but it wasn't difficult to think about it - City C is famous all over the country for its easy examination papers.
As for the beauty - there are not many photos of Ling Yi, and all the photos related to Ling Yi in the Ling family were burned by the new Mrs. Su. Zhou Zhiyuan only found three or four photos, all of which were taken when Ling Yi was 14 or 15 years old. The photos were very blurry without a frontal face, and the beautiful profile was faintly visible.
There is never a shortage of handsome men and beautiful women around Zhou Zhiyuan, even the most beautiful people are like that to him.
Originally, Zhou Zhiyuan wanted to marry Ling Bo, and Ling Bo also had a good impression of him, and admired him very much, a powerful son from a wealthy family like him.
But Ling Bo is too brain-dead, and the relationship between the two has not yet been confirmed. Ling Bo has already regarded himself as a serious Mrs. Zhou. A week ago, Zhou Zhiyuan was drinking with some friends in the private room. Ling Bo heard someone's provocation and calculation, and suddenly came over angrily. Children are senior chickens.
In fact, this was a reunion between Zhou Zhiyuan and his middle school classmates, and the girl next to him was his classmate, and the girl's family members were high-ranking officials in City C, so she was not someone who could be easily offended.
Zhou Zhiyuan lost face in front of his classmates, and he made an apology to calm down the matter.
But the Zhou family and the Ling family still have a few years of cooperation. Although Ling Bo is brain-dead, Ling Bo's father, Ling Hua, is a man with a lot of means.
Zhou Zhiyuan gave up on Ling Bo - this person will not be able to get on the stage, and he doesn't know what troubles will happen in the future.
Now he can only focus on this blind young man of the Ling family.
It is said that Ling Yi's mother's family is not in the country, so she paid little attention to him, and has a strict and gentle temperament since childhood.
Blind people are blind, at least blind people won't come out to make troubles, can't see the colorful flags fluttering outside, and leave after a few years, and don't hang on this blind person for the rest of their lives.
It was not easy for Zhou Zhiyuan to see this side of Ling Yi. He couldn't get through to Ling Yi's phone number. At first, he contacted Dean Zhou of the nursing home, thinking that the two of them had the same surname. How about saving face.
In the end, Dean Zhou was a very tough person. Hearing that Zhou Zhiyuan was not Ling Yi's relative, he flatly rejected his request.
He managed to get in touch with the vice president, so that he could see Ling Yi.
The place where the two met was still in the nursing home, in a tea room in the courtyard.
The environment here is quiet, and there are green bamboos outside the tea room. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a very thin layer of snow on the bamboo leaves. Occasionally, one or two small brown sparrows would fly over the snow and peck lightly on the ground.
Zhou Zhiyuan didn't like drinking tea very much. He waited for a full quarter of an hour, and he was a little impatient. He didn't have a good impression of Ling Yi, and now he felt disgusted even more.
He also doesn't like marriage. If it wasn't for the benefit of money and power, how could he be willing to marry a man to enter the door.
Zhou Zhiyuan pinched the thin blue teacup in his hand. He didn't like this kind of ink-and-wash style tea room, and he was really impatient. For a moment, he even wanted to crush the teacup and turn around to leave.
The young master of the Ling family is too arrogant to make people wait for such a long time——
Maybe it's not bad to marry that brain-dead Second Young Master of the Ling family. If you discipline him well, you might be obedient.
At this time, the door of the box was knocked twice, and a clear and pleasant voice came: "Is it Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Zhiyuan heard a woman's voice, he thought it was a waiter: "Come in."
A beautiful-looking nurse pushed the door open: "Mr. Ling, it's here, please go in slowly."
"Okay, thank you."
This voice seemed to make people see the willow-colored green hills and the rain washing the spring dust, and Zhou Zhiyuan held the teacup in his hand tightly in an instant.
Then a young man in a navy blue coat came in, Zhou Zhiyuan looked at him with a dazed look, and accidentally knocked over the teacup in his hand.
Ling Yi was at the door, he heard the voice and did not go over: "Hello, what do you want from me?"
Zhou Zhiyuan wiped the table with something casually: "Please sit down, my name is Zhou Zhiyuan, a family friend of the Zhou family's Ling family, you should have heard of my name."
Zhou Zhiyuan was seven years older than Ling Yi. When he was a child, Ling Yi did often hear the names of the Zhou family's peers in some social situations, and the two families were indeed on good terms, but they had never had any contact with them.
Ling Yi smiled very politely: "Mr. Zhou, hello."
Seeing Ling Yi smiling at him, Zhou Zhiyuan felt a little hot in his heart. He didn't know what to say for a while, and he didn't know whether he should look at Ling Yi with his eyes. Even though he knew that Ling Yi couldn't see him, he was still polite. Get up: "Master Ling, come and sit down, I have something to talk to you about."
Ling Yi guessed what purpose this man had, and he sat opposite Zhou Zhiyuan.
Zhou Zhiyuan made him a cup of tea: "The tea here is good, I want a pot of Dahongpao, you can try it."
Ling Yi took the cup and seemed to take a sip, but actually only touched his lips.
"What's the matter with Mr. Zhou, please tell me straight to the point."
Zhou Zhiyuan gradually realized that he had lost his composure just now.
He has dated many beauties, but this is the first time he hastily knocked over the glass in front of people.
Zhou Zhiyuan calmed down and briefly explained his purpose.
He knew that marrying him might be Ling Yi's best choice—the Zhou family was rich and powerful, and Zhou Zhiyuan himself was not bad in appearance and ability, so it was Ling Yi's best choice no matter how you looked at it.
He tried to see a trace of joy on Ling Yi's face, but he saw that Ling Yi's eyebrows were always slightly restrained and his expression was indifferent.
After a while, Ling Yi's voice was much colder than before: "If it's this matter, Mr. Zhou, I can't agree."
Zhou Zhiyuan was stunned: "Why? Young Master Ling, if you marry me, I will take you back to City C. You know that there are many people talking about you in the outside world. This marriage will make everyone from ridicule to envy."
In fact, Ling Yi has always hated some arrogant men like his father, but since he was a child, the men in this circle all look similar to his father. The same aloof, but also the same invincible.
Naturally, he couldn't tell Zhou Zhiyuan about his slight repulsion.
Right now, he can't use his marriage as an excuse to refuse. Feng Chu is just an ordinary person, and he can't stand the difficulties of the Zhou family and Ling family, so he can only use other words to decline.
Ling Yi shook his head: "Mr. Zhou's purpose is to ensure the smooth cooperation between the two companies, right? Since my father sometimes backtracks, Mr. Zhou wants to use marriage to strengthen the relationship between the two families."
"yes."
"Then I'm not the best choice," Ling Yi said, "My younger brother is. He has always been loved by my father. Because of his background, my father loves him far more than me. If you marry me, This marriage will be meaningless, and the Zhou family will not get what they want."
Zhou Zhiyuan had indeed heard about this matter.
But he believes that there are no parents in the world who do not love their children. They may be partial, but it is impossible not to love them at all.
Ling Yi didn't want to waste any more time on this matter: "Besides the benefits of marriage, you also need to pay attention to willingness. Mr. Zhou, we have never met each other and don't know each other. I can't agree to marriage."
Zhou Zhiyuan said: "Don't you want to go back to City C? Your father married a new wife, Madam Su can't tolerate you, Ling Yi, you need new support."
Ling Yi smiled and shook his head: "I'm blind, but I don't want to rely on others for the rest of my life. Besides, there is no difference in my eyes between relying on you and relying on my father's family. Excuse me."
Zhou Zhiyuan stopped him: "Ling Yi, you will regret it in the future. This is the best opportunity you can seize. You are too young to know what is most important."
Ling Yi pushed open the door of the private room: "What you like is the most important thing. Mr. Zhou, you came all the way to City B instead of staying in City C to accompany my brother. Isn't it just because you want to choose the one you like more among us?" Is it? You have the right to choose, and I also have the right to refuse to be chosen, I don't like your type of man."
The conversation ended badly.
Zhou Zhiyuan held his breath.
If he had never met Ling Yi, he might have chosen Ling Yi, that idiot younger brother.
Zhou Zhiyuan was satisfied with Ling Yi's appearance, style of conversation, and temperament. After meeting Ling Yi, Zhou Zhiyuan would never choose Ling Bo, that idiot who was just looking for trouble.
But he couldn't stay here any longer. Dean Zhou was not around at noon today, and the deputy dean only gave him an hour and a half.
In the evening, Zhou Zhiyuan still had a wine bureau, since he came to City B, he had to think of ways to get involved in the elite circle of City B.
Ling Yi walked outside. At this time, the cold wind was mixed with a little snow particles. He took a breath of the bitter air, and suddenly felt that his internal organs were icy cold.
Nursing worker Liu came over: "Mr. Ling, do you want to go back?"
Ling Yi nodded.
