Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Alarming the Old Master Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Alarming the Old Master Zhou Xueyi: “!!”
How could this matter possibly alarm the elder?
Absolutely unnecessary!
“It’s just a minor issue, why bother your grandfather with it?” Zhou Xueyi said with a frown.
Zhou Shuyan shook his head, “Uncle, you still think it’s a trivial matter. This ti, it has escalated into a conflict between us and Jing University, it’s not trivial at all.”
“Besides, you are an adult, suddenly not working at the company anymore, you have to at least explain it to grandfather, to avoid him thinking that I pushed you out, right?” Zhou Shuyan added.
Zhou Xueyi: “…”
F*** you, had you not been scheming against all this ti?
When you placed in the supervision team before, why didn’t I see you report that to the elder?
Now that you’ve caught in a bind, you rush to tell the elder?
Zhou Xueyi was furiously angry.
Back when he was still at the company, it was already difficult to probe for so of Chengzhou’s important information.
Now they’ve kicked him out of the company, probing beca even harder.
Zhou Xueyi was so upset that he tasted bitterness in his mouth.
Zhou Shuyan glanced at his watch, stood up, tidied up his things, and locked the important docunts on the desk into a drawer, “Uncle, I’m going to clock out.”
Zhou Xueyi watched Zhou Shuyan’s actions, his gaze flickered and said nothing. He followed Zhou Shuyan out of the company.
Zhou Xueyi and Zhou Shuyan took the sa elevator.
When they reached the floor of the supervision team, Zhou Xueyi exited the elevator first.
Colleagues from other departnts on the sa floor thought that Zhou Xueyi, having been kicked out of the company, would create a big scene.
They didn’t expect the atmosphere to be so harmonious, still sharing an elevator ride with Zhou Shuyan, looking as if nothing had happened.
Once the elevator doors closed, Zhou Shuyan continued downward, and the employees began to speak in hushed voices.
“Little Pink Book has really made a na for itself now; because of them, Chairman Zhou was completely ousted from the company.”
“The CEO must’ve wanted to do this for a long ti, just waiting for the right opportunity. This ti Little Pink Book delivered the perfect opportunity.”
“Little Pink Book is just a catalyst. If Chairman Zhou hadn’t harbored ill intentions and picked on a student, he wouldn’t have handed the CEO a handle to use against him; it has nothing to do with Little Pink Book.”
“It’s not that Little Pink Book did it, but they played so role in this incident.”
Zhou Xueyi, with a grim face, walked by areas where employees dared not discuss the matter.
Everyone was chattering away, but as soon as they saw him coming, they imdiately fell silent.
Though not daring to be overt, they couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Zhou Xueyi’s mood.
After Zhou Xueyi passed, the conversation resud.
Although it seed as if they had avoided the topic, how could Zhou Xueyi not see their reactions?
He grew even more furious.
He strode all the way to the office.
The office of the supervision team was empty except for Cao Zhijie.
Upon seeing Zhou Xueyi enter, he hurriedly stood up, “Chairman Zhou.”
Seeing Cao Zhijie, Zhou Xueyi couldn’t help but get irritated, “Didn’t you investigate everything clearly? And this is your result?”
Cao Zhijie defended, “The results I found, if traced back, are indeed correct. I had no idea that…”
“Chairman Zhou, what did the CEO say?” Cao Zhijie asked.
“What else could he say? He’s long wanted to find a chance to kick out for good, and now he’s finally got it; would he let it go?” Zhou Xueyi said irritably.
Cao Zhijie fell silent for a few seconds, then asked, “Chairman Zhou, the others have resigned before, and Yu Baoceng signed a confidentiality agreent and went back to his original departnt to continue working. What about … what should I do?”
Zhou Xueyi scoffed, “Haven’t they contacted you?”
Cao Zhijie was silent again, “The whole company knows I’m your man, loyal to you through and through, how could they possibly contact .”
“Chairman Zhou, I definitely can’t stay at the company now; if the company fires , you can’t ignore ,” Cao Zhijie quickly said to Zhou Xueyi.
“Alright, I won’t ignore you; you’ll continue to be my assistant,” Zhou Xueyi said.
Though Cao Zhijie didn’t handle this matter well, he had always done a good job before, and he was indeed loyal.
Reassured by Zhou Xueyi’s words, Cao Zhijie finally felt at ease.

The collaboration between Little Pink Book and Chengzhou officially began, and Chengzhou indeed started to create more mobile apps.
Smartphones had just started to beco popular not long ago, unlike later where physical keys were eliminated and screens beca larger.
Phones could even directly replace computers in many functions.
Chengzhou’s phones, including the screens, were considered large for the market at the ti; including Chengzhou, all phones on the market still had physical keys.
The screens were not touch-sensitive either.
When selecting on the screen, it was necessary to use the physical keys to navigate up, down, left, right, which was cumberso.
There were only a few built-in apps on the phone, and they were quite limited.
For example, cara functionality, so basic gas, video players, browser, etc.
Using a browser to enter the internet, one could also download so simple apps, but there weren’t many, and they consud a lot of data.
Browsing the internet on phones was still at the level of using a browser to look at webpages, reading webcomics, playing simple online gas, browsing news, searching, etc.
Days were busy, and ti seed to fly by quickly.
In a blink of an eye, Laba Festival passed.
As the saying goes, after Laba, it’s almost New Year’s.
This was especially true at Hexing Village; it was customary.
The Lu Family wasn’t well-off; they lived frugally, reflected most vividly in what they ate and wore.
Therefore, New Year’s celebrations seed particularly lively.
It was only during the New Year that a big spread of dishes could be put on the table.
Of course, it was just for show; in reality, there were only two or three at dishes.
These were for the n of the Lu Family; the won could at most nibble on the scraps.
As for new clothes, naturally, only the n got them.
Lu Youbang would have the most, being able to buy a whole new outfit.
Lu Youxue could only buy one or two items, depending on the year’s situation.
Apart from this, people in the village were busy cleaning, pasting couplets.
They salted and fried various foods that could be preserved for a long while; it was very busy.
This was the first ti that Lu Youxi and his family spent New Year in the Imperial Capital.
Lu Youxi found that at this ti, the New Year atmosphere in the Imperial Capital was still very festive.
Classic celebratory music for New Year was played in the streets and alleys.
Smokeless fireworks and firecrackers were not yet banned, firework booths were set up on the streets, and fireworks were available for sale everywhere.
Liu Yushu also went to the market to start purchasing ingredients for the New Year.
During the Spring Festival holiday, even the vegetable vendors in the market would take a break.
At that ti, it would be impossible to buy vegetables, so all ingredients had to be bought in advance.
Now that the economic condition was better, and without the Lu Family’s elders controlling, Liu Yushu bought whatever Lu Youxi liked to eat.
She purchased everything that was on the table during the New Year’s festivities in the past but Lu Youxi couldn’t eat at the ti.
