The little girl cracked her knuckles, “You’re so annoying, go away.”

Zhou Zedong also scolded, “Little Han, sit down.”

Zhou Zehan fell silent at once. He carefully glanced at his brother’s expression, and seeing him frowning at him, he quickly covered his mouth and obediently walked to the side to sit down.

Li Youcai even laughed at him, “If you don’t leave, be careful you don’t get beaten up. Besides, she transferred schools a long time ago; she can’t teach you.”

Qi He’s family was very rich, and it was said they had moved to a big city to live a long time ago.

She probably only came back for the exams.

Qi He sneered coldly, “I don’t just beat up any idiot. If I’m going to hit someone, it’s going to be the kind of bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong.”

Li Youcai choked on his words.

When he was little, he thought Qi He was as pretty as a doll. In his ignorant youth, he had cornered Qi He and demanded she be his girlfriend, only to get severely beaten up.

To make matters worse, his family’s background couldn’t compare to hers, so even if his family wanted to seek justice for him, they couldn’t.

Since then, he would always take a detour whenever he saw her.

After that, he stopped liking that type of girl. It was gentle and considerate girls like Xiang’er who were truly likable.

He wanted to say something but was afraid of getting hit. However, letting everyone know he was afraid of a girl would be too embarrassing, so he just gave a solitary cold snort and stopped talking.

For a moment, the group of children all quieted down.

Soon, the food was served.

After all, they were just children, and their attention was immediately diverted.

Si Nian and Zhou Yueshen didn’t eat much; Zhou Yueshen spent the entire time entertaining the guests.

Aside from relatives and friends, many prominent bosses from the business world came, and even quite a few retired bigwigs.

Division Commander Jiang sat at the same table as Si Nian and the others, only then realizing that his neighbors actually had this kind of background.

The chiefs of the military region had all come, and they were all old acquaintances.

Director Li was also there.

No one expected that after looking around, they would all know each other. At this moment, they couldn’t help but laugh at the coincidence.

“So he used to be in the Northwest. I was just saying, if there was such a figure, how could I not know about him,” Division Commander Jiang laughed.

“Lao Jiang, you probably don’t know his name, but you must have heard of the Three Heroes of the Northwest Military Region. Our Little Zhou was the captain of the Three Heroes team.”

Division Commander Jiang was even more surprised, “Then why didn’t he stay in the military?”

Logically speaking, with such abilities, if he had stayed in the military, he would definitely have achieved great things in the future.

He might even be more formidable than his own most promising student.

The other person also said with pity, “Life is unpredictable, what a shame.”

Director Li laughed, “What’s there to pity? In this life, happiness is the most important thing. Now that Little Zhou has such a happy family and can make money, what does he need those vanity things for?”

Everyone also felt this made sense. In fact, many people didn’t live very well after retiring from the military.

Not to mention someone like him who could build everything from scratch.

Boss Wang said, “We recently opened a branch company in Jing City and even invited Little Zhou to buy shares. Does anyone want to invest?”

The others rolled their eyes at him, “Give it a rest, you profiteer. As soon as we meet, you want to squander the coffin money of us old men. Aren’t you afraid of karma?”

“But if Little Zhou is willing to invest, could it be that Old Wang actually has good judgment this time?”

After everyone expressed their disdain for Boss Wang, they also felt that Zhou Yueshen wouldn’t invest blindly.

It must have been carefully considered.

“Little Zhou, what do you think? Are you trying to expand your business all the way to Jing City?”

Zhou Yueshen nodded slightly, “In my early years, a friend of mine did business in Jing City, and I invested a few times. Jing City is developing rapidly. This time, Boss Wang also caught the scent of an opportunity and is opening a department store branch there, so I plan to invest and give it a try.”

The breeding farm was now at a decent scale. Zhou Yueshen had hired a new assistant who had managed a company before and was quite experienced. All the positions were fully staffed.

He no longer needed to put all his energy into the breeding farm.

The returns from investing at the right time in an emerging trend would be massive.

Of course, it was also relatively dangerous.

Everyone exchanged glances and began to hesitate.

Hearing this, Si Nian tilted her head and glanced at Zhou Yueshen.

So Zhou Yueshen wasn’t just running a breeding farm; he was also making investments on the side.

Zhou Yueshen would often slip her some pocket money, resulting in her rarely needing to withdraw money herself.

Money in this era was just too valuable; no matter how much she spent, it never seemed to run out.

She wondered where Zhou Yueshen kept all his investment money. He probably didn’t use this bankbook.

Just as she was thinking, Zhou Yueshen placed a piece of pork rib into her bowl.

She tilted her head to look at the man.

Zhou Yueshen asked gently, “Are you tired? Let’s go home after we finish eating.”

Having entertained so many people today, Si Nian was undoubtedly tired.

Si Nian wasn’t tired at all; her mind was completely occupied with thoughts of how he was going to invest.

Hearing the man’s caring words now, she suddenly felt guilty, coughed lightly, and said okay.

After dinner, everyone said their goodbyes and went home.

Only then did Si Nian have the time to look for the children.

Seeing Second Child and Jiang Jiu using boxes to pack leftover chicken legs and rice, she was a bit surprised. “Little Han, what are you doing?”

Zhou Zehan turned around and said, “Mom, I’m saving this for Fang Bowen. I heard from my brother today that he caught a cold, so I want to pack some to take back and eat with him.”

Si Nian was slightly taken aback. Fang Bowen was sick?

She frowned, “Aren’t you afraid his mom will see and get angry again?”

Second Child gave a sly smile, “Mom, don’t worry. Fang Bowen’s mom comes home very late every day. I’ll secretly give it to him. I have experience.”

After saying that, he put the box into his schoolbag.

Jiang Jiu also chimed in, “Fang Bowen’s mom isn’t fierce to me at all. Before, when she met me, she even told me to go play with Fang Bowen.”

Of course, he definitely wouldn’t go by himself.

Si Nian generally understood what Fang Hui was thinking. On one hand, she hated her, but on the other hand, she wanted to curry favor with the Jiang family.

That was probably why she treated the children so differently.

Since the children all said so, if she tried to stop them, they would probably be unhappy.

If Jiang Jiu was the one delivering it, Fang Hui shouldn’t have anything to say.

Lately, Fang Hui seemed to rarely be home and had even hired a nanny.

However, she still hadn’t seen much of that child.

The Lin family stayed at the Zhou house.

Si Nian asked them to stay and play for a few days before going back, spending her days dragging her parents and two younger brothers out to buy clothes.

Second Child pestered her, saying, “Mom, I want to learn Taekwondo too.”

Si Nian didn’t know where he had learned that word, but considering Second Child’s boundless, unvented energy and high athletic talent, it would be good for him to learn some self-defense skills.

“Then we have to ask your dad first.”

Although Zhou Yueshen would definitely agree, Si Nian felt they still needed to ask for his opinion.

Lin Feng and Lin Yu were also very curious, but living in the countryside, they definitely didn’t have access to such things.

They could only suppress their envious thoughts.
