Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Bro Acknowledged a Dad Today Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Bro Acknowledged a Dad Today “He’s beco a lot more ticulous now,” Zhou Shuyan laughed.
“It’s because he’s joined the company and is learning from his dad, right? Kept under control at ho, and even at the company, he has to be managed.” Rembering Shen Changze’s woeful face, Qi Sishenn chuckled, “Still, he’s learned quite a bit at the company.”
“Mr. Zhou, Mr. Qi.” As they entered, the lobby manager recognized them right away.
“Has everyone arrived?” Qi Sishenn casually asked.
“Yes,” the manager walked ahead to lead the way, “Please co this way.”
Reaching the private room’s door, the manager knocked twice before pushing it open.
“Brother Yan!” Shen Changze and the others got excited upon seeing Zhou Shuyan and stood up.
Zhou Shuyan entered with a light smile, “I’m fine; don’t act like you’re seeing so long-lost ancestor co back to life.”
“Brother Yan, if you hadn’t co, Shen Changze would have started off by opening a bottle of wine on his own,” Shi Yusheng said with a smile.
“What’s going on?” Zhou Shuyan raised an eyebrow as he sat down, “I heard from Qi Sishenn that you’ve been doing quite well at the company.”
“Woo-hoo, Brother Yan, I didn’t expect you to care about so secretly.” Shen Changze was so touched that even the grievances from the rough-talking Hope at the forum seed partly healed.
“…” Zhou Shuyan’s lips twitched, but he still cruelly told the truth, “Qi Sishenn just ntioned it on the way here.”
Shen Changze was stunned for a mont, his lips puckered as if he was going to cry, but then consoled himself, “It’s okay, I know you care about , Brother Yan.”
Zhou Shuyan: “…”
Roll.
Shen Changze had ordered the dishes in advance; they could be served as soon as everyone arrived.
Now with everyone present, the dishes ca out one by one, soon filling the table.
“Nobody’s driving tonight, right?” Shen Changze said as he had soone bring the alcohol, “I’ve brought so Maotai and brandy; let’s have a good mix of East and West drinks tonight.”
Zhou Shuyan certainly wasn’t a teetotaler, so since he was here, he didn’t dampen the mood.
Shen Changze had soone pour a round of clear liquor.
“What exactly has upset you today?” Zhong Shoubin pressed, “You’ve been keeping us hanging; can you tell us now?”
“Ah!” Shen Changze downed a small cup of liquor and wiped his face, “I acknowledged a new father today.”
“Pffft!” Shi Yusheng had just taken a sip of liquor and spit it all out when he heard that.
“Co on, co on! Don’t waste good liquor!” Shen Changze frowned.
“You acknowledged a dad, does your real dad know?” Zhong Shoubin struggled to hold back his laughter, his face contorted uncomfortably.
“Of course he doesn’t know; don’t let it slip, okay!” Shen Changze quickly said, “I don’t want to get beaten up by my dad now that I’m all grown up.”
“Seriously, why would you randomly acknowledge soone as your dad!” Shi Yusheng felt like having a cigarette, reached for his pocket, but then rembered Zhou Shuyan didn’t smoke, so in situations where Zhou Shuyan was present, they also refrained. He withdrew his hand.
Qi Sishenn laughed, “Who is this expert that makes you so willing to call him dad?”
Shen Changze pulled a face and took out his phone, logging into the forum to show them, “Here, this is the one.”
The post Shen Changze showed them was the one Lu Youxi had made in the forum.
“This Hope has so substantial points to make,” Qi Sishenn handed Shen Changze’s phone to Zhou Shuyan, “He’s quite insightful; this ti, you were overconfident.”
“You’re not wrong to call him dad,” Zhou Shuyan said after reading and passed the phone to Shi Yusheng.
After Shi Yusheng and Zhong Shoubin had looked, it returned to Shen Changze’s hands.
“I’m having soone trace his IP,” Shen Changze said with a pout, “I really want to see who this ‘dad’ of mine is.”
“Did you find out anything?” Zhong Shoubin casually asked while picking up food with his chopsticks.
“I only found out he’s at Jing University,” Shen Changze replied, “I’m wondering if he’s one of Jing University’s expert professors or soone like that? Otherwise, how could he be so accurate?”
Zhou Shuyan’s eye twitched at the ntion of Jing University.
He hadn’t noticed it before, but now when Shen Changze brought up Jing University, Zhou Shuyan found the post language oddly familiar.
Zhou Shuyan’s mind involuntarily pictured Lu Youxi’s face.
That young lady had said she also played the stock market.
Zhou Shuyan took out his phone and sent a ssage to Lu Youxi, “How are your stocks?”
She replied quickly, “I sold them a few days ago; the returns were good. I was about to contact an agent to check out so apartnts, and if suitable, I’ll make a decision.”
Zhou Shuyan raised an eyebrow; it seed she had made quite a bit.
Lu Youxi thought for a mont, then added, “If possible, I’d like to buy an apartnt as soon as I can.”
With property prices being low now, it won’t be long before the prices in the Imperial Capital skyrocket.
Zhou Shuyan: “Well, it looks like you’ve earned enough then. You were only considering renting before, and now you’re looking to buy.”
Lu Youxi: “It’s alright.”
Zhou Shuyan thought to himself that this girl never bragged and tended to be understated in her speech.
If she said it was alright, she must have done quite well.
Zhou Shuyan: “If I rember correctly, you bought Baixin Technology?”
Lu Youxi: “Yes.”
Zhou Shuyan: “Good choice.”
Although Zhou Shuyan had his suspicions, he wasn’t completely certain.
“Stop looking,” Zhou Shuyan told Shen Changze, “even if you find out her identity, what can you do about it? Better to observe her investnts carefully.”
“I’ll listen to Brother Yan,” Shen Changze said without hesitation.
When Zhou Shuyan got ho, he specifically registered an account on the stock forum, following only Hope.
He then looked carefully through the posts made by Hope.
He noticed that the initial IP address from which Hope had posted was slightly different from the address used later to agree to call Shen Changze “dad” if Hope lost the bet.
Zhou Shuyan closed the forum and entered both addresses into a program.
Having been a CEO for so long, many people had forgotten that Zhou Shuyan was actually a technology expert.
High-end products like smartphones and computers from Chengzhou Group, the only dostic brand in Hua Country that could hold its own with imported brands, were designed by him.
When he traced the second IP address to the female dormitory at Jing University, Zhou Shuyan had a fairly certain answer in his mind.
He turned off his computer and shook his head with a soft chuckle.
He hadn’t expected the young lady to have such skill; no wonder she was so confident about making money.
Zhou Shuyan picked up his phone and got into bed, a glass of water sitting on the nightstand nearby.
He took a sip of water before leisurely calling Lu Youxi.
Lu Youxi, who was chatting with her roommate, jumped as her phone suddenly rang.
Seeing Zhou Shuyan’s na appear, for so reason, Lu Youxi’s heartbeat changed slightly, and she felt inexplicably nervous.
She took the phone to the balcony, “Zhou Shuyan?”
“I was having dinner with friends when I texted you earlier, so I didn’t have the opportunity to chat with you much,” Zhou Shuyan leaned against the headboard, his voice lazily charming, a tone Lu Youxi had never heard before, likely due to the alcohol.
