Zhou Hai could clearly see the unconvinced and unwilling looks on the faces of these people. He felt extremely annoyed. “Don’t think about having any evil thoughts or doing those stupid things!”
He coughed heavily a few times and took a sip of water from one of his sons’ hands. He continued, “The Zhou family has always pursued the principle of placing those capable in the position of power. Why don’t you take a look at what kind of people you are?”
Old Master Zhou looked at the idiots who didn’t even dare to raise their heads when they were scolded and felt his head ache. “That child Zhou Wei… As long as you guys are honest, you won’t lose a single privilege. It’s not like the Zhou family can’t afford to support you.”
His breathing became heavier and heavier. He didn’t want to prattle on and used his remaining strength to lie down. “All of you, go out and do as I say.”
No matter how unwilling those people were, out of habit, they dared not resist. They could only leave quietly.
After leaving the hospital and returning to the Zhou residence, the eldest son thought for a moment and called Zhou Wei. Although he wanted to inherit the Zhou Group, his father was still alive, so he did not dare to be presumptuous.
When the call connected, he still wanted to put on the airs of a father. “Xiao Wei, your Grandpa woke up today.”
Zhou Wei looked at the three people beside him who were listening attentively. He rolled his eyes and said coldly, “Oh? Is that so? How is Grandpa’s health?”
Hearing Zhou Wei’s lack of respect, his father was a little unhappy. However, when he thought of his identity as the heir of the Zhou family, he softened his tone and said, “Your Grandpa’s health is better, but his condition is still not good.”
He deliberately paused and said mysteriously, “Your Grandpa called your father and uncles over today to announce the candidate for the next head of the Zhou family.”
Zhou Wei’s heart did not waver. After all, he had mentioned this condition in his conversation with Su Ming. No matter who Old Master Zhou decided on, he had to be the head of the Zhou family.
But on the surface, he still asked, “Is that so? Who did Grandpa choose?”
“Who else could your Grandpa choose? Of course it’s you,” his father said proudly. “You’re the most promising among the younger generation in our family. However, I’m your father, you…”
Before he could finish, Zhou Wei said, “Then thank you for informing me.
Someone is looking for me; I still have something on. We’ll talk another time.” “Is this how you talk to your father?” His father was a little dissatisfied. “You…”
Zhou Wei decisively hung up the phone. When he looked up, he saw the three
of them smiling.
Chu Ning and Zhou Wei had known each other for the longest time and had the best relationship. Naturally, she was the first to speak. “Congratulations, congratulations. Now it’s official.”
The four of them understood what Chu Ning meant. If Old Master Zhou appointed someone, it would definitely be more legitimate than them snatching it. It would also save them a lot of effort.
“Congratulations, it’s as if the heavens are helping you,” Su Ming smiled and said.
Up until now, everything had gone unbelievably smoothly. Even Su Ming had to lament that the heavens were on his side.
Yan Shen and Zhou Wei did not have much interaction. This time, he was also worried about Chu Ning’s safety, so he had joined in. As a man of few words, he naturally only congratulated him.
Zhou Wei did not seem to be happy. His expression was very calm and he looked as if he had expected it. “Now, I can’t let those idiots mess with the things in my pocket.”
As he spoke, he smiled at Su Ming. “Now, even more so, I’d want to collaborate with Mr. Su Ming.”
The four of them raised their glasses at the same time and clinked them together before continuing to discuss how to deal with the Lu family.
Before Su Kun’s news had been sent out, he first learned about the candidate for the Zhou family’s head from Zhou Wei and the others.
Su Kun let out a long sigh and said with a complicated expression, “My foolish son is quite lucky.”
Chu Zhe did not expect that his sister’s business partner would be the next head of the Zhou family. Although the Zhou family could not compare to the Su family and could not compare to the future him in the original novel, they were still considered a big family at that point.
Chu Zhe could not help but think to himself that Xiao Ning really had foresight.
Chu Ning had no idea that her big brother was praising her for her foresight. They had already reached a critical point in their discussion.
“We already have a way to deal with the Zhou family. I’ll go and restrain Zhou
Hao. Zhou Wei will successfully inherit the Zhou family. The Lu family will have to fight alone,” Chu Ning analyzed..
