Chapter 22 This is courtesy

  When Zhou Hao came out of Sito's house, the night was already very deep. The cool night wind blew in his face, blowing away the two shares of wine that Zhou Hao had drunk. Before his rebirth, Zhou Hao's alcohol tolerance was not good, and he could usually be knocked down by two beers. But just now, after drinking a bottle of 40-50 degree Maotai with Sito, Zhou Hao was still sober.

  Just now, Situ Li asked himself if he had a crush on someone after dinner, and then earnestly educated himself to prioritize his studies, that early love has a hundred harms but no benefits. Thinking of Situ Li's cautious appearance, Zhou Hao couldn't help but laugh secretly.

  How could Zhou Hao not know what Situ Li meant? He had obviously discovered that Situ Jianying had unusual feelings for Zhou Hao, but at this time, Zhou Hao was just a poor student from a difficult family background, how could he be worthy of the precious daughter of the director of public security? Situ Li was guarding against Zhou Hao while also subtly warning him not to have any improper thoughts about Situ Jianying. Although Zhou Hao had saved Situ Jianying, human feelings were one thing, but Situ Li would never use his daughter's lifelong happiness as a bargaining chip to repay kindness.

  "If he knew that his daughter had already been touched all over by me, and still willingly wanted to be my concubine, I wonder what kind of expression he would have?" Zhou Hao thought to himself with a sly smile.

  Just out of the municipal government's family building, Zhou Hao heard the sound of a car horn behind him. He turned his head to see a Mercedes-Benz approaching, its dazzling headlights making it hard for Zhou Hao to see clearly. The Mercedes slowly pulled up and stopped beside Zhou Hao, and the driver's window rolled down to reveal Zhao Yuqin sitting there with a smile: "What, can't even recognize your sister's car?"

  Zhao Yaqin was wearing a light blue dress, with a small woolen jacket on top. From Zhou Hao's angle, he could just see the white skin under her neck, as well as her slender collarbone, and even faintly saw the subtle cleavage below.

  When he saw Zhao Yuqin, Zhou Hao was also very surprised, "Sister Zhao, how are you here?"

  "There's a friend who lives here, I just had dinner at her house." Zhao Yuqin said: "Come on, get in the car, sister will take you back."

  Zhou Hao sat in the passenger seat, "Do you have a friend living here?" Hearing that Zhao Yuqin would actually go to her friend's house for dinner, it seemed that their relationship had become very close. He didn't know if this friend was male or female, but thinking about it made Zhou Hao feel a sour and awkward feeling in his heart.

  Looking at Zhou Hao's slightly sulky face, Zhao Yuke burst out laughing and stretched out her hand to pinch his nose. "She was a good sister of mine in college, where did you get that idea from? Hehe, at such a young age, you're already jealous?"

  Zhou Hao's face turned slightly red when his mind was read, but he still stubbornly said, "When did I become jealous?"

  Zhao Yaqin started the car and drove forward, "But you, how did you come out of the government's residential building? Hehe, I know that the director of the Public Security Bureau, Situ Li, lives inside. You shouldn't have gone to Situ Jianying's house for dinner, right?"

  Zhou Hao was amazed at Zhao Yuqin's cleverness, "You guessed all of this, Sister Zhao."

  "It's definitely going to see her parents, hum! This time it's sister's turn to be jealous." Zhao Yuqin pouted.

  "What if his parents don't want me to be with their daughter?" Zhou Hao put his hands behind his head, a hint of self-mockery in his expression.

  Zhao Yuqin immediately guessed the reason and couldn't help humming, "Looking down on people with dog eyes! Xiao Hao, if someone is willing, that's enough. Anyway, with Xiao Hao's conditions, there will be plenty of girls who like him in the future."

  Seeing Zhao Yuqin feeling wronged for herself, Zhou Hao was very moved and involuntarily said a sentence, "I don't want other girls to like me, as long as sister likes me it's fine." As soon as the words came out, he regretted it himself, secretly annoyed at how he could be so frivolous towards Zhao Jie.

  Zhao Yuqin's expression paused, her eyes deliberately moved to the window, and she smiled slightly: "Now you've learned to be oily and smooth." After a pause, she said again: "I heard that you saved Gao Houlü's daughter last night."

  "How does everyone know about it? Didn't Mayor Gao say that this matter should not be spread outside?" Zhou Hao sighed.

  Zhao Yuqin smiled and said, "I'm quite familiar with them, so I knew." As she spoke, a melancholy expression appeared on her face. "You first took a bullet for Situ Jianying, now you've saved Gao Houlü's daughter. Who knows if you'll come to save your sister when she's in danger?"

  The dim yellow streetlights shone in, adding a hazy charm to Zhao Yuqin's mature and beautiful face, leaving Zhou Hao stunned as well. He said sincerely: "I can do it, even if I have to risk my life, I will protect my sister."

  Seeing Zhou Hao's solemn expression, Zhao Yuqin's heartstrings suddenly moved, and she stretched out her jade hand to touch Zhou Hao's face. "Sister believes you." For some reason, she always had an inexplicable feeling towards Zhou Hao, as if there was something unsaid between them. Although they were nearly ten years apart in age, Zhao Yuqin felt that Zhou Hao possessed a maturity that transcended his age.

  For some reason, Zhao Yuqin thought of her father, who was over sixty years old and had been constantly urging her to get married recently. She felt a little annoyed in her heart and changed the subject: "Xiao Hao, those stocks I bought for you have risen by 30% in the past few days, and your $150,000 has also increased to $200,000. If converted to RMB, you've already made tens of millions."

  Zhou Hao also came back to his senses from Zhao Yuqin's stunning appearance, "I know, I've been paying attention too."

  "Xiao Hao, my point is that several hundred thousand is already a lot for you. The stock market's surge is very unusual, and the top has also unified its opinion to vigorously rectify it. I think it's time for you to withdraw."

  "It's not time yet." Zhou Hao said, it's only the end of October now, he knows the stock market will rise for another month or so, so there's no rush. "Sister Zhao, don't worry about it for now, when the time comes, I'll let you sell those stocks." His gaze is fixed on something outside, "A mere few million, I won't be satisfied with just that, I have bigger goals."

  Seeing the determination and confidence in Zhou Hao's eyes, Zhao Yuqin's breathing suddenly became slightly rapid, and a ripple also emerged from the bottom of her heart.

  Zhao Yuqin was originally a very strong-willed person, as can be seen from her blunt rejection of Fan Lize's pursuit. However, when faced with Zhou Hao, who was less than fifteen years old, she had no way to deal with him and could only comply with his request, "Okay, since you insist, I won't persuade you anymore."

  "By the way, Zhao Jie, if I want to buy Hong Kong stocks, can you help me?" Zhou Hao asked.

  "Hong Kong?" Zhao Yuqin was somewhat perplexed, "You want to invest in Hong Kong's stock market?"

  Zhou Hao nodded, "Because next year Hong Kong's sovereignty will be returned to our China, at that time the stock market will definitely fluctuate, I want to take advantage of it to invest some." In fact, his main goal was the financial storm in 1997, but this naturally couldn't be told to Zhao Yuqin.

  Zhao Yuqin pondered and said: "But at that time, the Hong Kong stock market will definitely be affected by many factors. Can you really make a profit from it?"

  Zhou Hao nodded and then heard Zhao Yuqin say: "Okay, my trading company has an office in Hong Kong too, I'll help you with it later."

  "Thank you, Zhao Jie." Zhou Hao said sincerely. It was really rare to have someone like Zhao Yuqin who supported him without asking for reasons. "There's another thing, our school is going on an autumn outing this Saturday and I might not be back until Sunday night. Can you help me take care of my mom during this time?"

  "No problem. Is Aunt ill?"

  "No, I'm afraid someone might harm her." So Zhou Hao told Zhao Yuqin everything that happened yesterday. "I'm afraid the man won't be able to find me and will go bother my mom instead."

  Zhao Yuqin heard that he had encountered danger last night and was also very worried, and she glanced at him with a scolding gaze. "Now you know, don't think it's easy to get money from drug dealers." She said: "Don't worry, I'll take care of Auntie. After all, I've been in the army before, and three or two men can't get close to me."

  "Have you served in the army, Zhao Jie?"

  "You can't tell, right?" Zhao Yuqin said with some pride. "I graduated from the National Defense University, majoring in Information Engineering, and I also did tasks in the Air Force and Navy during that time."

  "It really can't be seen." Zhou Hao said, while imagining Zhao Yuqin's handsome and refreshing appearance in military uniform in his mind, "However, that guy knows martial arts, you must be more careful."

  "Don't worry, I have a gun license and my shooting scores in school were very good, there won't be any problem. If all else fails, I'll just get my brother to send over two special forces soldiers."

  Zhou Hao heard this and suddenly thought, you really treat special forces as your own bodyguards.

  Before he knew it, the car had already arrived at Zhou Hao's building. Zhou Hao said to Zhao Yuqin: "Zhao sister, I'll get off first, be careful on your way." He then pushed open the car door.

  Zhao Yuqin suddenly grabbed Zhou Hao's hand and pulled him over, then "smacked" a kiss on his face, "Alright, go back now, sleep early." Seeing Zhou Hao staring blankly at her, Zhao Yuqin pointed to his head with her finger, "What are you looking at? This is politeness, don't think wildly, alright, hurry up and go back now." After saying that, she pushed Zhou Hao out of the car.

  Watching Zhou Hao's figure disappear behind the gate, she finally reached out to touch her own burning face, and scolded herself, "Shameless."

  The Mercedes started again and drove out of the road under the dim streetlights, leaving a bright light.
