46: Chapter 46 Zhao Feiyu is just an excuse

Seeing this scene, Zhang Baiyu calmly took out his phone, ready to make a call.

Just at this moment, Yuan Hong stepped out.

"Zhou Meiren, for the sake of our two families both being established families, give me some face on this matter and just let it go!"

Zhou Meiren's eye twitched slightly.

"This matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right? I've already given Sister Lingzhi face, so you shouldn't get involved!"

"Zhang Baiyu and Zhao Feiyu are my brothers. If you touch them, you are touching me. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Zhou Meiren frowned deeply.

He could understand Zhang Baiyu.

But what the hell was going on with this Zhao Feiyu?

How did this Zhao Feiyu get involved with Yuan Hong again?

However, after thinking for a moment, Zhou Meiren deliberately feigned ignorance and said, "Fine! I can give you face regarding Zhang Baiyu, but Zhao Feiyu..."

However, before Zhou Meiren could finish speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Yuan Hong, "I said, Zhao Feiyu is my brother. If you touch him, you are touching me. Do you understand?"

Zhou Meiren clenched his fists tightly.

His heaving chest was enough to prove how angry he was at this moment, yet he was helpless.

After a long while, Zhou Meiren took a deep breath and asked slowly, "I really want to know what kind of relationship this Zhao Feiyu actually has with you. Are you protecting Zhao Feiyu just to give Zhang Baiyu face? Do you realize that for this guy who is nothing, you are determined to completely break ties with me, Zhou Meiren, and my Zhou Family?"

"Heh!" Yuan Hong suddenly laughed.

"I don't know if you're truly stupid or feigning stupidity. Let me tell you, I'm not doing this for Zhang Baiyu's face either. Even if Zhang Baiyu weren't here today, you still couldn't touch Zhao Feiyu because he is my brother, understand? As for breaking ties with you, Zhou Meiren, forgive me for being blunt, but as for you, Zhou Meiren, I, Yuan Hong, really don't hold you in high regard. If you want to play, I, Yuan Hong, can accompany you!"

Hearing this, Zhou Meiren was completely dumbfounded.

He had originally thought that Yuan Hong had stepped forward because of Zhang Baiyu.

But judging by these words, it seemed like he had a sense of frantically defending and currying favor with Zhao Feiyu.

This kind of fawning was the kind that disregarded any cost.

Seeing Yuan Hong's sturdy and tall figure standing in front of Zhao Feiyu and Zhang Baiyu, Zhou Meiren knew deeply that this time, he had failed again.

"Fine! Very well!" Zhou Meiren laughed out of extreme anger.

"Since that's the case, then from here on, you can bear the consequences yourselves!"

"Let's go!"

After saying that, Zhou Meiren led his people into the elevator in a rage.

"Go back and tell Zhou Wanjun that I am determined to have that plot of land at the North Suburb Power Plant for the Jiaxing Group!" Just at this moment, Zhang Baiyu suddenly shouted.

Hearing this, Zhou Meiren trembled all over.

The North Suburb Power Plant project was a major project the Zhou Family was currently undertaking.

The Zhou Family was determined to win this project because news had come from the provincial level that they were going to re-plan an industrial development zone there.

As long as they got that land, it was guaranteed to yield dozens of times the profit.

Thinking of this, after the elevator doors closed, Zhou Meiren immediately took out his phone and called Zhou Wanjun.

"Hello, Dad..."

Immediately after, Zhou Meiren told Zhou Wanjun everything that had just happened.

"You actually offended the Yuan Family for a guy without any background? What were you thinking?" On the other end of the line, Zhou Wanjun immediately reprimanded him.

"Dad, don't be angry yet. Listen to me. Just now, Zhang Baiyu said that the Jiaxing Group is determined to win the North Suburb Power Plant project, and they are also preparing to participate in the bidding!" Zhou Meiren hurriedly interrupted Zhou Wanjun.

Hearing this, the other side of the line, Zhou Wanjun, immediately fell silent.

After a long while, Zhou Wanjun said solemnly, "That so-called Zhao Feiyu is just an excuse. It seems the Yuan Family wants to secretly support Zhang Baiyu!"

Boom! Zhou Meiren felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning.

At this moment, he seemed to understand something.

"The Yuan Family wants a slice of the pie, but as government officials, if they rashly join in, they will inevitably be blocked by others. Using this Zhao Feiyu as an excuse, the Yuan Family now has a pretext to break ties with our Zhou Family. At that time, they will also have a reason to obstruct our Zhou Family from competing for that land at the North Suburb Power Plant!"

Zhou Meiren immediately figured out the mystery behind everything.

"Right! Exactly!" Zhou Wanjun said in a deep voice on the other end.

"You are still too young!"

Hearing this, Zhou Meiren felt as if his soul had been sucked out, and he leaned listlessly against the wall.

They were all of the same generation, but at this moment, he deeply felt the gap between himself and people like Zhang Baiyu and Yuan Hong.

However... this also proved one point.

Zhao Feiyu!

He was still that same Zhao Feiyu!

Thinking of this, relying on the unvented anger in his chest, Zhou Meiren gradually regained his strength.

Meanwhile, Li Shanshan, who was on the side, also immediately sensed something from the previous conversation.

"In other words, Zhao Feiyu is just an excuse for interests; he doesn't actually have that good of a relationship with Zhang Baiyu and Yuan Hong!" Li Shanshan, clever as she was, analyzed with flickering eyes.

"Mm," Zhou Meiren nodded and sneered.

"This guy has ruined my good deeds time and again. If I don't kill him, I swear I won't be a human!"

"Since he is just a sacrificial lamb and an excuse for interests, then I can be completely at ease!"

"If his relationship with Yuan Hong and the others was really that solid, I would have no choice but to let this matter go, but since it's like this, then it's easy to handle!"

"Even if I really killed Zhao Feiyu, I believe Zhang Baiyu and Yuan Hong wouldn't dare do anything to me!"

"However, this matter cannot be done by our own people; we must find outsiders!"

"I wonder how Sister Lang is preparing on her end!"

...

After Zhou Meiren left, Zhao Feiyu looked at Yuan Hong indifferently.

"Hehe!" Yuan Hong smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Feiyu, I'm really sorry about what happened in the private room just now!"

Zhao Feiyu smiled, "Heh! Didn't you not believe me?"

"No, no! I was just joking with you, brother!" Yuan Hong waved his hands repeatedly.

"By the way, I didn't expect you to have a grudge against that bastard Zhou Meiren. Today, it was only because we were at my sister's place; otherwise, I would have killed him!"

Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu's attitude toward Yuan Hong also changed.

However, Zhao Feiyu knew that all of this was built on interests and strength.

If he were truly just an ordinary person, it would be impossible for Yuan Hong to risk offending the Zhou Family to speak up for him.

"However... I still have to say thank you!" Zhao Feiyu said sincerely.

"How about we go back and talk?" Zhang Baiyu suggested, looking at the people watching around them.

Looking accordingly, Zhao Feiyu nodded.

Just at this moment, Zhao Feiyu suddenly realized that Yuan Lingzhi seemed to have been staring at him from beginning to end.

After returning to the private room, the few sat down again.

Yuan Hong immediately stood up to pour wine for Zhao Feiyu personally.

After downing a few glasses of wine, they immediately let go of what had just happened.

After all, they were both men, and they had at least that much breadth of mind.

And just at this moment, Yuan Lingzhi actually walked over gracefully.
