After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 435

Chapter 435: Competing for Business?
Zhouzhou’s chubby little foot was about to kick out when the person noticed her movement and quickly dodged, shouting, “Boss!”

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Zhouzhou stopped in her tracks, tilting her head to look at the person who stood up from the bushes, her little brain momentarily confused, “Why is it you guys?”

The person who approached was none other than the group led by Skinny Monkey.

Skinny Monkey looked at her pitifully, feeling aggrieved as he said, “Boss, now that you’ve left, what are we, the Wealthy Team, supposed to do?”

They had finally managed to break free from the crowd and form a group, only for their leader to leave. What could they do but follow after her?

Zhouzhou looked at them, blinking innocently, “But Daddy wouldn’t let me join.”

Thinking about it, she felt a bit guilty, “I’m sorry, I didn’t win over Daddy.”

Upon hearing this, Skinny Monkey waved his hands repeatedly, “How could we blame Boss? Captain Ye is a genius-level figure. You’re so young, and he’s much older. Isn’t that bullying? It’s just too cunning.”

Talking about winning to let her join, how could that be possible? It was a trap from the beginning.

He sneered and was about to continue speaking when a cold chuckle suddenly came from his side. He froze, turned his head stiffly, and saw Ye Lingfeng leaning against the door frame, his cold gaze lifting slightly as he said ambiguously, “Oh, bullying? Cunning?”

Skinny Monkey panicked and quickly shook his head, laughing awkwardly, “Yes, I’m sorry, Captain Ye, I didn’t mean that. I…”

He hurriedly explained, but halfway through, he couldn’t come up with a reasonable excuse. It was as if he could see his deceased parents in front of him.

Although he was an orphan and had never seen them, he felt like he would meet them soon.

Glancing at him, Ye Lingfeng withdrew his gaze indifferently, walked up, and lifted Zhouzhou in his arms, giving them a stern look, “Go back.”

No wonder Zhao Xinghua said there were people who wanted to recruit Zhouzhou. He guessed it was them, but he didn’t expect them to actually come.

“Are you also fooling around with them?” He looked at Cui Kun, his expression displeased.

Cui Kun had always been the most steady person. How could he join in such childish behavior?

Standing upright, Cui Kun remained unfazed under his gaze, his expressionless face answering, “Without a leader, the Wealthy Team is not a complete group.”

Most of their tasks were carried out as a group, and the importance of a leader was self-evident.

Now that Zhouzhou had left, the Wealthy Team was in name only, and they couldn’t expect important tasks from higher-ups.

Hearing this, Zhouzhou raised her chubby paw excitedly, “Then I’ll go back with you!”

“Go back where?” Before the words fell, Ye Lingfeng’s voice rang out.

Zhouzhou pouted, looking pitifully at him, then said firmly, “Daddy, Uncle Skinny Monkey, and the others need me.”

This wasn’t her own wish. She was considering the bigger picture.

They were honest people who least liked to cause trouble for others.

Humph.

Ye Lingfeng sneered coldly, not buying into her act at all. Without another word, he put the little girl in the car, slammed the door shut, and leaned against it, not letting her out, then looked at Cui Kun and the others, saying, “You guys go back first. I’ll handle this.”

Hearing this, the group looked at each other, feeling hesitant.

How would he handle it? Would he disband their group?

Thinking of this possibility, their faces tensed up instantly.

Seeing through their thoughts, Ye Lingfeng rolled his eyes, “Don’t worry, I won’t disband you.”

They had worked so hard to select these few people. Disbanding now would be a waste of time and effort.

As for how to arrange them, it was indeed something to consider.

“Daddy.” Zhouzhou found that she couldn’t push the door open, so she simply closed the window and stuck her little head out, asking, “Then how will you arrange me?”

Ye Lingfeng expressionlessly pushed her little head back in, “I plan to assign you ten sets of test papers.”

This child was really too idle.

Qin Lie was right; she needed more homework assignments.

Zhouzhou pouted, looking at him somewhat unhappily.

Always teasing her for being illiterate!

Yet, Ye Lingfeng paid no attention, turning to Cui Kun, “Still not leaving? Don’t trust me?”

After a moment’s thought, Cui Kun said, “I do trust you. It’s up to you now, Captain Ye.”

With that, he led the others away.

Skinny Monkey had wanted to say something, but he was silenced by Ye Lingfeng’s gaze.

In any case, they would just wait for the arrangements from above.

Watching them leave, Ye Lingfeng finally opened the car door and got in.

Seeing him, Zhouzhou quickly darted to the farthest spot from him, hugging her chubby arms and letting out a heavy huff, then turned her head to look out the window, pouting.

Her anger was evident, unappeasable.

This little troublemaker.

Ye Lingfeng felt a headache coming on. She had almost forgotten about this matter, but Cui Kun and the others had brought it all backup.

It seemed avoidance wasn’t an option; he had to deal with it first.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke, “Let’s go deliver something to Huo Ji’an first. We’ll talk about this tonight when I come back. Is that okay with you?”

“Really?” Zhouzhou’s ears perked up, turning to him, “Then, Daddy, how are you going to arrange things for me?”

“I’ll arrange something lucrative for you. Does that sound good?”

That sounds great!

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, immediately leaned in again, hugging his arm and cooing, “Daddy, you’re so nice.”

A little flatterer.

Ye Lingfeng raised his hand to pinch her nose, “I hope you’ll still say that tonight.”

Zhouzhou looked at him, smiling mischievously, “It depends on how you perform, Daddy.”

Let’s see how he arranges things, then decide if she’ll say that.

The decision isn’t up to her.

Ye Lingfeng sighed helplessly. This child was getting harder and harder to fool.

Qin Lie also emerged from the room, sitting in the driver’s seat, looking at the father and daughter together, his expression momentarily paused, but he didn’t say anything. He started the car and headed to the hospital.

Huo Ji’an was almost dozing off in his chair when a car finally stopped in front of him.

He groggily opened his eyes, seeing those familiar chubby fingers, and his eyes lit up, “chubby girl!”

“Little Skinny Pole!” Zhouzhou trotted over to him, handing him a bag, “This is Uncle Yu’s medicine. Tell him to wash his face twice a day after using it.”

“Okay!” Huo Ji’an carefully took it.

Looking around, Zhouzhou asked curiously, “Little Skinny Pole, where’s your dad? Why isn’t he here?”

“Dad said I should talk to my ex-dad first. He made an excuse to leave and is sitting in the nearby park. Ah, it’s so annoying. What’s there to talk about with my ex-dad? He just knows how to anger me.”

Exactly.

Zhouzhou vigorously nodded her little head in agreement.

A qualified ex-dad should just not show up. If he really cared, he would silently bless them from afar.

“Forget about him, he’s bad luck.” Huo Ji’an waved his hand, taking Zhouzhou’s hand happily, “Let’s go find my dad and then go to the amusement park together.”

“Okay.” Zhouzhou readily agreed without hesitation.

The two little ones walked ahead, while Ye Lingfeng and Qin Lie followed behind with leisurely steps.

After some contemplation, Ye Lingfeng spoke up, “Do you have time later? There’s something I want to discuss with you about Zhouzhou.”

“Sure.” Qin Lie nodded, “I’ll have Yu Ze take Zhouzhou and Ji’an to play later.”

They would have time to talk then.

That was also what Ye Lingfeng had in mind.

Zhouzhou was oblivious to the fact that her two dads were worrying themselves bald for her as she happily ran forward with Huo Ji’an.

Soon, they arrived at the café where Yu Ze was. They were about to call out to him when they noticed another person sitting across from him.

Clad in a robe and stroking his beard, the man looked at Yu Ze with a serious expression and spoke slowly, “Young man, I can cure the scar on your face. Just apply this medicine of mine, and I guarantee you’ll be reborn in seven days, with a flawless face. It’ll only cost you ninety-nine thousand. Are you interested?”

Zhouzhou: Not interested, but interested in throwing a punch.
