Chapter 1299: Chapter 1274: Approaching the Goddess
Zhou Jian is a vengeful person. Ye Chen has embarrassed him greatly, so how could he let it go?
Suddenly, the phone rang. Zhou Jian glanced at the number, answered it and said unpleasantly, "You punk called me, what for? I’m annoyed right now."
Hearing Zhou Jian’s anger, Tian Kun laughed and said, "Eldest Young Master Zhou, who had the gall to provoke you?"
"Don’t even mention it, it’s some guy named Ye Chen, that guy is simply looking for trouble," Zhou Jian said vehemently.
Tian Kun found the name somewhat familiar and laughed, "He seems to be a college classmate of mine, and I’ve heard Li Ming mention him, saying he spent a billion to buy an unfinished building."
Zhou Jian didn’t know this Li Ming, but it seemed he heard Ye Chen call someone Li Ming on the phone at the bank, not knowing if it’s the same person.
If that’s the case, then this is a very interesting piece of news, and a perfect opportunity for revenge against Ye Chen. Zhou Jian felt smug inside, but didn’t show it.
"What college classmate, Li Ming? He’s really annoying. If you don’t have anything to do, don’t bother me; I’m going to sleep," Zhou Jian replied curtly.
"Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore. Sleep well, I’m off to date a goddess," Tian Kun shrugged and said.
Hearing Tian Kun’s words, Zhou Jian perked up immediately, hurriedly getting out of bed and said, "What did you say, about dating a goddess?"
"Weren’t you going to sleep? Why ask so many questions?" Tian Kun laughed and said.
"Are you looking for trouble, punk? Hurry up and tell me," Zhou Jian threatened.
"At six tonight, there’s a banquet at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Everyone from the business circle will be there," Tian Kun said.
He intentionally left the sentence half-said to keep Zhou Jian in suspense.
"Get to the point," Zhou Jian said with a displeased expression.
"As far as I know, Su Wanyi will also attend this banquet. I’m going on a date with her, this is a rare opportunity! Usually, even if you invite her, she might not come," Tian Kun said with a laugh.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jian immediately got excited.
But he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Tian Kun, these require invitations. You’re not in the business circle, even if you go, you’ll be chased out."
"Of course, I have a way around that. My old man doesn’t like these gatherings, so he asked me to go in his place," Tian Kun replied.
Then he added, "As long as you can get that invitation, you’ll be able to get close to the goddess. Well, I’ve said everything, see you tonight, Young Master Zhou. I know you’ll manage to get an invitation."
After Tian Kun finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
After receiving these two pieces of news, Zhou Jian was very excited — one, he found a chance to take revenge on Ye Chen, and two, he could have a close encounter with the goddess he’s longed for.
The first time he met Su Wanyi was at a gathering organized by his father. When he saw Su Wanyi, he was just stunned.
Zhou Jian never thought such a young girl could be so impressive. To know that the people invited by his father are all prominent figures.
Su Wanyi’s beauty and talent deeply attracted Zhou Jian, making him unable to forget this girl.
He once wanted his father to arrange something between the two, but his father refused him, saying he wasn’t worthy of Su Wanyi.
Without his father’s help, it was hard for him to meet the person he dreamt of day and night.
Now, hearing Tian Kun’s news, how could he let it slip?
Zhou Jian knew there must be invitations at his father’s place, and he decided to give it a try.
He got out of bed, tidied his clothes, and walked toward his father’s study.
This time, he didn’t enter directly, but gently knocked on the door.
"Come in," his father’s voice came from inside.
Seeing his son walking in, Zhou Minghan was stunned, not quite believing that the person standing before him was his wayward son, Zhou Jian.
"Little Jian, what do you need from me?" Zhou Minghan asked, puzzled.
"Dad, I want to attend tonight’s banquet," Zhou Jian said bluntly.
"This is a gathering of businessmen; weren’t you uninterested in business?" Zhou Minghan asked with a smile.
"I was before, but now I’ve changed my mind. I want to learn from Mr. Ye, who achieved so much at a young age. I want to make you proud, help you with business, and share your burdens," Zhou Jian said excitedly.
Listening to his son’s words, Zhou Minghan’s eyes reddened, and tears flowed.
All these years, he pulled his son up with hard work and established the Zhou Group, but his son was messing around all day, leaving Zhou Minghan worried.
After all, it’s easy to start a business, but hard to maintain it. He feared that when he’s gone, Zhou Jian won’t be able to keep the family together.
But hearing Zhou Jian’s words, he felt his previous concerns may have been wrong. His son was slowly growing up.
"Alright, alright, Little Jian, you can go on my behalf. I’m feeling a bit under the weather," Zhou Minghan opened the drawer, took out an invitation, and handed it to Zhou Jian.
Seeing the golden invitation, Zhou Jian knew he was one step closer to the goddess.
However, he didn’t show joy on his face but looked at his father and asked anxiously, "Dad, are you okay? Do I need to call Dr. Wan?"
"No need to trouble Dr. Wan; I’ll be fine after a little rest," Zhou Minghan waved his hand and said.
"Okay then, Dad, don’t tire yourself out; take care of your health," Zhou Jian reminded his father before leaving.
Watching his son leave, Zhou Minghan felt an inexplicable sense of relief. He knew his son was finally growing up.
What he didn’t know was that all of this was an act by Zhou Jian — his only goal was to meet Su Wanyi.
Ye Chen drove to the entrance of Su Wanyi’s company, glanced at his watch, and saw there was still half an hour left until the agreed time.
He didn’t call Su Wanyi because he understood this girl very well.
If Su Wanyi was done with work and had nothing else, she’d certainly contact him.
Ye Chen just sat in the car waiting, and soon his phone rang.
He picked it up, and Zhou Susu’s voice came, "Ye Chen, are you still mad at me?"
Being asked out of the blue by this woman, Ye Chen was taken aback, not knowing what this was all about.
Seeing no sound from the other side, Zhou Susu said, "Ye Chen, why aren’t you saying anything?"
"Susu, what do you want from me?" Ye Chen asked.
"Ye Chen, I want you to accompany me to handle something now; do you have time?" Zhou Susu said.
"Sorry, Susu, I’m busy now. How about tomorrow?" Ye Chen replied.
"Alright, contact me tomorrow," Zhou Susu said, sounding disappointed.
With her temperament, being rejected would usually result in her immediately hanging up, but she felt if she did that, her relationship with Ye Chen would be even more strained.
