After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 1207

Chapter 1207: Everyone is Quitting

Zhao Xinghua really didn’t know when to stop, and this time, he went too far.

Zhouzhou was completely enraged.

She had just talked about this with Xi Mo, still upset, and then Zhao Xinghua brought it up again.

Her greed was triggered, and she couldn’t hold back anymore.

In front of Zhao Xinghua, she picked up the phone and called Army Commander.

“Hello, Mr. Army Commander, are you still looking for people? I’ll come work for you.”

When Zhao Xinghua heard this, he panicked. “You’re joking, right? You can’t be serious.”

Zhouzhou glared at him, “Who’s joking? I’m very serious!”

She had a heart as small as a sesame seed, and Zhao Xinghua was afraid that if he teased her too much, she might actually leave.

Seeing her so determined, Zhao Xinghua hurriedly tried to smooth things over, but Zhouzhou ignored him and kept talking to Army Commander.

On the other side of the phone, Army Commander could also hear Zhao Xinghua’s voice. His brow furrowed slightly, and he immediately understood what was going on.

A grin appeared on his face. This was an opportunity he couldn’t let slip by. If he didn’t seize it now, all those years of being mocked would have been in vain.

Thinking this, he replied with a warm smile, “Of course we’re short-handed! It’d be great if you could join us. When are you coming? I’ll pick you up myself. Once you arrive, we’ll have a meal together. Anything you want, just order it. My treat!”

Now that was the right attitude. She, Fugui, was wanted everywhere she went!

“I’ll head over soon. Thanks, Mr. Army Commander!”

Commander smiled widely, practically grinning from ear to ear. “No trouble at all. Don’t stand on ceremony with me. I’m on my way to pick you up right now.”

Zhao Xinghua was furious. He had no idea what had happened to make Zhouzhou so angry, but honestly, he couldn’t care less at this moment. The more often these opportunities came, the better. Sooner or later, he’d steal her away from Zhao Xinghua!

“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you, Mr. Army Commander.”

Zhouzhou smiled sweetly, which made Zhao Xinghua even more anxious.

“Zhouzhou, don’t you care about your dad?”

Zhouzhou nodded, “Of course I do, which is why I’m planning to take my dad with me when I switch jobs.”

Zhao Xinghua was stunned. “…”

“No, no, Zhouzhou. The Wealthy Group can’t function without you!”

Zhouzhou’s face lit up with realization, and she smiled at him gratefully. “Thank you, Uncle Zhao, for reminding me. I almost forgot. I’ll bring everyone along. I’ll ask around and see who else wants to join us.”

Zhao Xinghua’s face turned dark. Was that what he meant?!

It didn’t take a genius to know that with their combined influence, her and her father’s charisma was much stronger than his.

Zhouzhou had stayed with the Fourth Bureau over the years for two reasons: one was Ye Lingfeng, but he was currently unconscious and unable to speak, which made it not impossible for Zhouzhou to switch jobs. The other reason was that the Fourth Bureau paid well, but Zhao Xinghua had just mocked her about it, so it was a bit awkward to bring up now.

Zhao Xinghua finally understood what it felt like to shoot yourself in the foot.

“Zhouzhou,” he softened his tone, practically begging through the screen, “You must be joking, right? You’re the backbone of our Fourth Bureau. Without you, we can’t survive. You wouldn’t be that heartless, would you?”

Zhouzhou shook her head. “Of course not.”

She grinned at him and said seriously, “That’s why I plan to take everyone with me, so we can all stay together and be happy.”

Zhao Xinghua’s face immediately fell. “What about me? Are you abandoning me?”

He collapsed dramatically into his chair, slapping his thighs and crying, “Why is my life so miserable?”

Zhouzhou couldn’t help but feel embarrassed at his exaggerated antics. “You’re copying me, but you’re doing it so badly. It’s embarrassing!”

Zhao Xinghua didn’t care.

He was losing his backbone, so who cared about looking good?

He cried in dramatic fashion, while Zhouzhou gave him a disgusted look. Finally, her patience ran out. “Alright, alright, I’m not quitting. I’m just going to handle the competition matters. After I’m done, I’ll come back.”

“You’re sure about this?” Zhao Xinghua jumped up, his face full of excitement.

Zhouzhou resisted the urge to roll her eyes, looked up at the ceiling, and thought, “What did I do to deserve this? How did I end up with him?”

She sighed. It was all because she didn’t know any better when she was younger and got tricked by him.

When Commander arrived, as soon as he landed, he received a call from Zhao Xinghua.

Before he could say anything, a recording of Zhouzhou’s earlier words about not quitting played.

Then, Zhao Xinghua’s smug voice came through, “Zhouzhou is mine! You can’t take her from me, so don’t dream about it!”

Although Commander felt a bit disappointed, he wasn’t completely surprised.

He knew there was no way Zhouzhou would actually quit.

He just couldn’t stand Zhao Xinghua, so he replied in annoyance, “You’re pathetic.”

He hated the fact that Zhao Xinghua considered him a rival. To him, it wasn’t even worth it!

He couldn’t understand how, in his youth, Zhao Xinghua had been so decisive and no-nonsense, but these days, he’d become such an insufferable fool.

After thinking it over, Commander finally figured it out.

He was faking it all along. The old Zhao Xinghua had been a front. The current one was the real deal.

Thinking about this, Commander sneered coldly, confirming his long-held suspicion that Zhao Xinghua was no good.

When Zhouzhou heard the noise, she peeked out from the window and immediately ran downstairs to greet him. “Mr. Army Commander.”

Seeing her, Commander’s expression softened, and he smiled warmly. “Zhouzhou, it’s been a while.”

“It’s been a while, Mr. Army Commander. Please come in.”

Commander didn’t hesitate and walked in immediately.

Qin Lie heard the noise and walked out of the room. When he saw Commander, his face tightened, and he paused for a moment before walking toward Zhouzhou and quietly asking, “Are you going to be busy again?”

Zhouzhou nodded, “I need to attend a competition.”

Though that was what she said, it was obvious that a competition that would bring Commander in person had to be dangerous.

Qin Lie couldn’t stop Zhouzhou from doing what she thought was important, so he only reminded her, “Be careful with everything.”

“Mm-hmm.” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, then hugged him. “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll be fine.”

“Dad, go talk to Mr. Army Commander for a while. I need to go tell Sharp Tongue Daddy something.”

With that, she dashed off toward Ye Lingfeng’s room.

This was the room specially set aside for Ye Lingfeng by the Qin family. Many of the things in the room were items he frequently used, and the space had a homely feel to it.

At that moment, he was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

Zhouzhou sat at his bedside, first feeling his pulse and then setting up a spiritual array before holding his hand.

“Dad, I’m going to avenge you. Wait for me to deal with Augusta, and then you can wake up, okay?”

In the clouds above, Ye Lingfeng watched this scene, his eyes turning red.

His gaze shifted to Qin Lie, and he sighed deeply. “What can you say? Zhouzhou really loves me. I’m her favorite dad.”
