Chapter 197
Chapter 197
"Since you can't attack Ye Zhou, why not attack Zou Ming?" The bearded man stood in front of Zhao Qing.
There are more than 20 people standing behind him. These people can barely be regarded as Zhao Qing's confidantes, and they are Zhao Qing's most powerful supporters and weapons.
But Zhao Qing remained silent, his brain that had not been used for a long time finally started to turn his head, he shook his head with some effort, the heavy solid wood chair shook slightly with his movements, no one dared to look at him, even if it was difficult for Zhao Qing to stand up at this time , but the subordinates still dare not show any disrespect.
"Kill Zou Ming, how can you guarantee that Ye Zhou won't retaliate against me?" Zhao Qing leaned wearily on the back of the chair, "He is not a good person."
How can a good person be a businessman?How dare he make a deal with him? Zhao Qing never thought that Ye Zhou was a good person, but he never thought that Ye Zhou's heart would be so deep.
Years of concessions were just to numb his vigilance.
By the time he reacted, all aspects of the base had been mastered.
These confidantes standing in front of his eyes are still willing to bow their heads to him, just because their status is stable because of his status.
Once Ye Zhou leaves and no longer supplies, will these people still listen to him obediently?
Ye Zhou's plan was not to defeat him at the time, but for a few years, even ten years, even if he left, Base 276 would still be under his control.
Thinking about it now, Zhao Qing felt his scalp go numb.
He has never seen a person like Ye Zhou. Living here, everyone feels that they have today but no tomorrow. I thought of it all.
Zhao Qing had a complicated look on his face. He hated Ye Zhou, but also admired him inevitably.
His shrewdness is on the bright side, but Ye Zhou's shrewdness is hidden behind several retreats.
Everyone knew that Zhao Qing was a smart man, but many people thought Ye Zhou was a good man.
After all, Ye Zhou never interfered with the affairs of the base, nor abused the poor. On the contrary, when he was interested, he would provide food and shelter for children without parents. In the eyes of many people, Ye Zhou was not as good as A real person, like a saint in a story.
But it was this saint who caused Zhao Qing to suffer so much that he couldn't tell.
Zhao Qing looked at the group of people with their heads down, and asked calmly: "What kind of person do you think Ye Zhou is? To be honest, I won't blame you. After leaving this door, nothing happened inside the door. happened before."
No one spoke.
Zhao Qing looked at the bearded man in the lead, the man swallowed, and said in a low voice, "Ye Zhou is an insidious person."
Zhao Qing smiled: "Continue."
The man looked at Zhao Qing's face cautiously, and then said: "Buying people's hearts..."
He didn't know what to say.
It was true that although Zhao Qing hated Ye Zhou very much, Ye Zhou did not do anything to make them feel uncomfortable, but instead benefited the entire base.
Others also felt that Ye Zhou was buying people's hearts, but what's the use of buying people's hearts?Ye Zhou has so many things, does he like this base?Ten thousand steps back, even if he wanted to be the emperor, he should have done it long ago. What are you waiting for now?
Everyone felt that Zhao Qing overreacted.
Zhao Qing also understood, and he closed his eyes tiredly: "You guys go out."
The subordinates were relieved, and stood for a few seconds more politely before pushing the door out. In less than 20 seconds, everyone left cleanly.
Zhao Qing was the only one left in the huge room.
His lovers were in their rooms, and no one wanted to go out at this hour.
Zhao Qing raised his head and looked at the lamp above his head. For a moment, he felt that he had gained nothing in his life.
I don't know when it started, power can no longer make him happy, he sat on the highest seat of the base, and lost the goal of chasing since then.
family?He doesn't have a family, and he doesn't yearn for a family, but sometimes he hopes to get the warmth of a family, but his lovers can't give him, they are all afraid of him, even if they pretend to be close, he can clearly see their fear and hatred.
He was even sure that as long as they were given a chance, they wouldn't even shake their hands when they killed him.
men?He has no feelings for them, and his subordinates are just tools for him to consolidate his position. What kind of emotion can a person project on tools?
Praise if you are obedient, and hit if you are not obedient, until you are obedient.
Only food, and now only food can satisfy him, and all his desires have become appetites.
At first it was just to vent, but now he can't do without food.
Then eat yourself like this.
High in oil, sugar and salt, he especially likes fried food, topped with various sauces. He eats a fried chicken, two burgers and a bunch of French fries every morning. Various sweet drinks.
Not to mention noon and night.
Zhao Qing's eyes were dazzled by the light, he closed his eyes.
He felt himself dead.
·
"Why didn't you tell me that Zhao Qing was looking for trouble for you?" Ye Zhou held back for two days, and finally walked to Zou Ming's room before going to bed.
He leaned against the door frame, and the overhead light fell on Ye Zhou, casting a layer of silver highlights on his shoulders and the tip of his nose.
Zou Ming is sitting by the bed. His body proportions are very good. Even if he is not yet fully developed, his height is only 1.7 meters [-], but a pair of long legs have already taken shape. Now those legs are propped on the ground casually, and his naked upper body is shaved. Thin yet muscular, like a mannequin from an expensive mannequin.
"I can handle it." Zou Ming reached out to pick up his coat from the cabinet next to him, put it on before looking at Ye Zhou, "Come and sit?"
Ye Zhou walked over and sat next to Zou Ming, but kept a distance from Zou Ming.
"If Zhao Qing comes to the door, when are you going to tell me about it?" Ye Zhou's tone was serious.
He is a very lenient "parent", and he has almost never spoken to Zou Ming in such a tone.
Zou Ming lowered his head slightly. His voice was very soft. His once clear voice became slightly hoarse due to the voice change period. Because his voice was soft enough, he added a bit of ambiguity to the normal scene in front of him for no reason. He said: "Zhao Qing can't touch me now, I know what to do, and I don't want you to worry."
"How old are you?" Ye Zhou felt that Zou Ming, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, was thinking things too simply, "Zhao Qing didn't dare to understand me, so he might not dare to touch you. He is afraid of me, but it doesn't mean he will always fear me."
Once he left, Zhao Qing might still be worried at the beginning, but after a long time, Zhao Qing will definitely take action.
Ye Zhou: "You should tell me about these things while I'm still here."
Zou Ming pursed his lips: "You have to go."
Ye Zhou: "..."
"At least, I can solve your worries." Ye Zhou reached out to pat Zou Ming on the shoulder.
But Zou Mingqu raised his hand suddenly and grabbed Ye Zhou's hand.
Zou Ming looked into Ye Zhou's eyes, and the two looked at each other. The emotions in Zou Ming's eyes were so unobstructed that they caught Ye Zhou's eyes, and Ye Zhou was almost burned by the emotions revealed.
He wanted to take back his hand, but Zou Ming held it tightly, as if Ye Zhou had to cut off his hand if he wanted to take it back.
At this moment, Ye Zhou regretted installing a yellow light in Zou Ming's room.
It's too ambiguous.
Ye Zhou didn't move, his brain stopped for an instant.
Everything in the past came one after another at this moment, and Ye Zhou felt the feeling that an adult Zou Ming would give him in this young man whose face had become familiar.
Sometimes it's just a breath away.
A matter of eyes.
Zou Ming suddenly said: "Don't go."
He wanted to say a lot, but countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally he only said these three words.
Ye Zhou told him more than once that he would leave at a certain point, but it must be before Zou Ming became an adult.
Ye Zhou was afraid that if he left unexpectedly, it would cause Zou Ming mental trauma.
"I have to go." Ye Zhou looked at Zou Ming with firm eyes, "I still have something to do, and I have to do it."
He sighed: "There is someone waiting for me."
What is the adult Zou Ming doing now?What happened to base 276 in another timeline?
Zou Ming noticed that Ye Zhou was distracted, and keenly heard the change in Ye Zhou's tone when he said "someone is waiting for me".
Even though he couldn't be sure who that person was, Zou Ming could guess even if he guessed it. That person must have a very close relationship with Ye Zhou.
At least it's closer than the relationship between myself and Ye Zhou.
Zou Ming held Ye Zhou's hand even harder, and he subconsciously said, "I don't believe it."
"We've been together for so many years."
Ye Zhou never left him. If Ye Zhou had someone close, why didn't he know.
Even though Ye Zhou's expression didn't look like lying or concealing, he still refused to believe that the person Ye Zhou mentioned really existed.
He even smiled at Ye Zhou with difficulty.
It's just that this smile can't be called pretty.
"I don't need to lie to you." Ye Zhou finally took his hand out of Zou Ming's. He looked at Zou Ming, sighed at Zou Ming's growth rate, and worried about Zou Ming's character.
Zou Ming is a stubborn person, and he will not turn back when he hits the south wall.
He could only hint: "When you become an adult, maybe we will meet again, and then you will know everything."
However, Zou Ming couldn't listen to any words at this time, he grabbed Ye Zhou's arm, and suddenly leaned forward.
It's just that this time Ye Zhou, who had been prepared for a long time, pressed his shoulder the moment he approached.
Ye Zhou sighed in his heart, but what he said was almost cruel: "You are too young, Zou Ming, when I first saw you, you were a child who survived on instinct. May have played a lot of roles, but to me, you are just the child I watched growing up."
"We are not equal." Ye Zhou looked into Zou Ming's eyes and forced him to listen to what he said, "At least for now, we are not equal. When you grow up, you can think independently and know what you really want. We'll see you sometime."
Zou Ming's eyes were red, and he heard Ye Zhou's meaning: "You're leaving, you're leaving soon, aren't you?"
Ye Zhou looked at him tenderly, with a little regret in his eyes. He was pleased with Zou Ming's sensitivity, but there was nothing he could do about it. He could only nod slightly: "I have told you what should be said before. In the future, You have to go on your own."
After speaking, Ye Zhou patted Zou Ming on the shoulder and stood up from the bed.
Zou Ming clenched his hands into fists, but he didn't grab Ye Zhou's wrist.
He knew Ye Zhou well, and knew that once Ye Zhou made a decision, no one could influence or change him.
Just like at this moment, he could pounce on Ye Zhou and hug him, demanding him forcefully or begging him humblely, but no matter what, Ye Zhou would leave.
Zou Ming always thought that Ye Zhou came for him.
But he never realized as clearly as now that Ye Zhou would not stay for him.
He looked at Ye Zhou's back, and watched Ye Zhou close the door without any hesitation.
Under the dim light, Zou Ming lay on his back on the bed as if exhausted.
He raised his arms and covered his eyes with his forearms.
Late at night.
·
When Ye Zhou returned to the room, he felt that his performance was a little too ruthless, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was better.
Now Zou Ming is too young and too extreme, he only has eyes for those few people who are always around him.
Lying on the bed, Ye Zhou stared at the chandelier above his head with unfocused eyes.
The hot wind at night blew in from the open window, so Ye Zhou could only stand up and dragged his heavy steps to close the window.
He didn't lie back on the bed, but stared at the night sky outside the window.
He wanted to go.
If he stayed any longer, he didn't know how to face Zou Ming.
He also missed the adult Zou Ming who was waiting for him in another dimension.
Missed living in the same building as the employees, no matter how long he stayed here, he didn't like it very much.
If it wasn't for Xiao Zou Ming, he would have left immediately when he earned enough money.
Just wait, wait until he is sure that Zhao Qing will not pose a threat to Zou Ming before leaving.
It's just that Ye Zhou didn't wait until that time.
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Zhou woke up to the sound of hasty knocking on the door.
"What's the matter?" Ye Zhou didn't even have time to change his clothes, with his messy hair and pajamas, when he opened the door, he saw Cao'er anxiously.
Cao'er only comes to the base every other week now, and it has only been three days since the last time she came.
Ye Zhou immediately came to something urgent, he immediately said: "I'm going to change clothes."
Ye Zhou put on quickly, didn't change his slippers, and walked out the door after changing them.
Cao'er followed Ye Zhou and said as she walked, "Sarah has an accident. She has had a nosebleed a few days ago, and today her eyes, eyes and ears also started to bleed. She is not in a good mood and can't speak clearly. .”
Ye Zhou was taken aback. He was already standing downstairs. After listening to Cao'er's words, he turned and looked at the house where he had lived for more than five years.
"It's time to go." Ye Zhou said softly.
Cao'er: "Immortal, what did you say?"
Ye Zhou shook his head: "It's nothing, you go back first, I'll go find Zou Ming, and I'll go over after talking to him."
Cao'er didn't ask anything, she also guessed that Ye Zhou was going to talk to Zou Ming, so she nodded and went back the same way.
Ye Zhou walked quickly to the supermarket.
When he arrived, Zou Ming was cleaning the entrance of the supermarket with his employees. Yellow sand always accumulated at the door. They couldn't just sweep the sand aside, they had to transport it away.
At this time, Zou Ming's body was covered with sand, and he looked a little disheartened.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Ye Zhou, and there was an uncontrollable smile on his face, but the moment he saw Ye Zhou's expression clearly, Zou Ming's expression changed.
Zou Ming couldn't laugh anymore.
He walked down the stairs, just a dozen steps, but Zou Ming felt that he had walked as long as a century.
He was still in a daze until he walked in front of Ye Zhou, but he still insisted and asked, "Leaving?"
"It's because I last night..."
Ye Zhou shook his head: "No, something happened in the supermarket, I have to go."
Ye Zhou looked at Zou Ming.
This young boy who hasn't fully grown up yet.
He couldn't stay any longer.
