Chapter 329

329 A Powerful Opponent

“How about this, let’s each take a step back. Nine months,” Zhou Hai said cheerily.

“Eight months.” Cheng Huai tried to test Zhou Hai’s conditions.

“For the sake of our decades of friendship, eight months it is. I’ve sent someone out and said what I need to say, but I can’t guarantee success,” Zhou Hai said helplessly.

“It’s good that you’ve taken action. I can also give my daughter an explanation.” Cheng Huai waved his hand. He didn’t seem to care about the result.

“Let’s drink?” Zhou Hai picked up the purple clay teapot and filled Cheng Huai’s cup.

“Let’s drink.” Cheng Huai picked up his cup and downed the tea.

…

Zhou Hao was a very low-key person. Among the third generation, Zhou Hai’s best heir was Zhou Wei, followed by Zhou Hao. Zhou Hai had five children, and he had more than 20 third generation heirs. With more people, the competition would be more intense.

Young people always wanted to show their faces in public and prove their strength to their elders, but the result was always contrary to their wishes.

After lunch, Zhou Hao was fishing. He felt that fishing was a form of entertainment for self-cultivation. He was very patient and believed that he would emerge victorious in the end.

In his eyes, the only person who was a real threat was Zhou Wei. He felt that the rest of them were good-for-nothings and only worthy of being a third generation nouveau riche.

He looked calm as he sat on a small stool and gazed at the water in front of him.

He continued doing this for half an hour before his buoy moved.

Zhou Hao was not in a hurry to pick up the fishing rod. He was still waiting patiently. He knew that another big fish was about to take the bait.

After another ten seconds or so, the buoy suddenly shook violently, rhythmically rising and falling.

Zhou Hao was still unmoved, as if the fishing rod in his hand was merely for display.

Just then, the buoy suddenly sank. Zhou Hao was about to pull back when his mobile phone rang.

A few minutes later, he hung up.

Zhou Hao laughed. The big fish broke free of the hook and swam away. He felt a little regretful, but didn’t seem upset.

He was still in a good mood, so good that he hummed a little tune while packing up his fishing gear.

When Zhou Hao was leaving, he met another fishing buddy who had just arrived.

It was a vast lake and a famous tourist attraction. Other than tourists, many people would come here with fishing gear.

Zhou Hao would also appear from time to time, so he made friends with many fishermen.

“Oh, Xiao Zhou, I’ve only just arrived and you’re already leaving?” The man who had just come to fish said enthusiastically when he saw Zhou Hao.

“I have something to settle at the last minute. Big brother Lin, I think you’ll definitely catch a big fish today. Luck will always be on your side,” Zhou Hao said with a gentle smile.

“I hope so.” After hearing Zhou Hao’s words, the man who had come to fish smiled.

“I’ll be leaving, big brother Lin. I wish you good luck.” Zhou Hao waved his hand.

The man surnamed Lin would never know that the boundless lake area in front of him was all the property of the Xiao Zhou he had just greeted.

Zhou Hao would not reveal this fact. He did not need others to be in awe of him, nor did he need to show off his superiority as a rich man.

He was low-key and reserved, but he had great ambitions and pursuits. This was the portrayal of his character.

Half an hour later, Zhou Hao arrived at the high-speed rail station. His next destination was M City.

His old rival, Zhou Wei, was there.

“Chu Ning, I don’t know who you are, but it should be interesting. I hope you don’t disappoint me,” Zhou Hao sat in the waiting hall and muttered to himself.

Chu Ning didn’t know that, after Ye Ting kept failing, she was so irate that she had been hospitalized.

However, the worse news for her was that Cheng Yi was now helping Ye Ting to deal with her. What was waiting for Chu Ning was an unknown and powerful opponent.

After school in the evening, Chu Ning didn’t go to the Jinghu District. She wanted to return to the Chu residence.

It was Friday that day, and the day after was the weekend. She wanted to make use of these two days to go to S City. Firstly, she wanted to look for the technician Chu Jing had mentioned and ask for his help. Secondly, she could also take the opportunity to see how her big brother was doing.

Chu Zhe’s workplace was in S City.
