How to be financially free

Chapter 645

Seats vacated quickly.

Zuo Chao sat down with his younger brother, waved his hand, ordered a bunch of meat, and ordered a few more bottles of wine to celebrate.

On the roasting net, the aroma of grilled wagyu beef overflowed. Zuo Chao ate the barbecue and drank wine. For a moment, he had the illusion that the past had been turned over and the future was bright.

"Uncle, are you busy? I have enough people here." Zuo Chao stood up suddenly, and said to Xu Jiang who was passing by in a hurry.

"You eat what you eat, I have enough people here." Xu Jiang said with a smile.

As soon as Zuo Chao sat down, the younger brothers around him asked curiously.

"Young Master Zuo, tell me about Brother Xu! We have heard many rumors, but we don't know which ones are true."

"What rumor?" Zuo Chao laughed.

The younger brothers talked a lot about it vividly, such as owning three great cars, industries everywhere and so on.

"It's almost the same." Zuo Chao ate a piece of wagyu beef, "Brother Xu's parking spaces are worth over [-] million yuan, and several five-star hotels, city squares, and office buildings in Haicheng are all under his name. In Shanghai, Brother Xu also has two five-star hotels."

A group of younger brothers listened raptly one by one.

"The difference between me and brother Xu is the difference between mud and stars, do you understand?" The older brother is more powerful, and Zuo Chao is more proud of being the younger brother.

As for Zuo Chao's younger brothers, I heard that the eldest brother's eldest brother is the real boss of Haicheng, and they all admire them infinitely, and all of them are honored.

"Young Master Zuo, speaking of which, what is your cousin compared to you? With such a powerful boss supporting you, Jin Hai will be the master sooner or later." A younger brother boasted.

Zuo Chao smiled, but he didn't feel complacent just because of this sentence.

"Finish Zuo Shuhuan completely? It's not easy!"

Zuo Chao knew very well in his heart that Zuo Shuhuan was capable. This time, if Brother Xu hadn't supported him, he would have suffered a lot, and it was impossible for him to stand up.

After drinking for three rounds, Zuo Chao went to the front desk to swipe his membership card.

On the opening day, he charged [-] and spent [-] today.

After greeting Xu Jiang at the front desk with a smile on his face, Zuo Chao walked out of the store with his younger brothers.

Outside the store, the lights were dim and the cold wind was blowing.

Zuo Chao felt refreshed.

He stood at the door for a while, and called the girl he just met, planning to go to KTV to sing together at night.

While waiting, a younger brother suddenly looked across the road with good eyes.

"Young Master Zuo, look, is that cousin Ni?"

Zuo Shao's expression was fixed, squinting his eyes, he saw the entrance of the hotel opposite, Zuo Shuhuan and a couple of men and women walked out together.

·
"Young Master Fang, and Ms. Sun, I haven't been entertaining you enough these days." Zuo Shuhuan said sincerely.

Opposite him are Fang Meng and his girlfriend Sun Wei.

"Where is it? It's very thoughtful. I'll do everything when I go back to Shanghai." Fang Meng patted Zuo Shuhuan on the shoulder.

"By the way, look away."

A trace of pain flashed across Zuo Shuhuan's expression.

"A rotten person like Zuo Chao deserves to sit on an equal footing with me."

Fang Meng smiled but wasn't smiling.

"That can't be helped, let's hug your thighs, but don't be discouraged, do you think your grandfather will rest assured to hand over the company to him in the future? Jin Hai, it's still yours after all."

Zuo Shuhuan seemed moved.

Fang Meng said another casually.

"You are more capable than him when you are openly fighting, but what are you afraid of when fighting secretly?"

"Are you fighting openly and secretly?" Zuo Shuhuan seemed to have a feeling.

The three stood at the entrance of the hotel for a while, Zuo Shuhuan sent Fang Meng and the others to the car.

After leaving, Zuo Shuhuan took out his phone, hesitated for a moment with his fingers on two numbers, and then settled on one.

In front of the barbecue feast.

"Hey, isn't this the direction he's heading home?" Zuo Chao had a puzzled expression, and an idea popped up in his mind.

"You go first, I have something to do."

After greeting his little brothers, he casually waved at the door and called a taxi. .

After getting into the passenger seat, Zuo Chao pointed to the opposite car.

"Master, please follow me."

The taxi driver was not surprised, so he turned around and followed from a distance.

Inside the car, Zuo Chao stared at the front with both eyes, and the light outside the car window shone brightly and darkly on his face.

The taxi merged into the traffic flow and followed all the way, inconspicuous at all.

I don't know how long it took, and came to the outside of a community.

The community is quite old and multi-storey.

"Stop here." Zuo Chao quickly paid and got out of the car, watching the Bentley Continental in front slow down and drive into the community, and followed it on foot from a distance.

The Bentley Continental is naturally Zuo Shuhuan's car.

At this moment, he was in the car with his eyes slightly closed, with a slight hint of alcohol on his face, and he didn't even notice that someone was following him.

Downstairs in a certain building, he arranged for the substitute driver to stop the car, and then sat in the car for a while.

I don't know how long it took before the phone turned on.

He glanced at it, and a smile appeared on his face.

Not long after, a young woman with a resentful expression walked out of the corridor in front of her, holding a child.

·
In the darkness, a little spark lights up.

Zuo Chao calmly finished smoking a cigarette, and watched the house above lit up shortly after Zuo Shuhuan walked into the corridor.

Who is this woman?Zuo Shuhuan's lover?

Whose child is that?

Zuo Shuhuan's?still?
It seems that it is a story about raising a mistress and having an illegitimate child.

Zuo Chao frowned and crushed out the cigarette butt.

It's pretty cold outside at this point.

He thought about it, took a taxi and left.

That night, Zuo Chao sang K for most of the night, and when he went home, his head was buzzing, and he didn't sleep almost all night.

Early the next morning, he found a local business research company and arranged for someone to check the situation.

The situation is not complicated.

The detective of the business investigation company found out the news without any effort, and put the specific information in front of Zuo Chao.

Looking at the news in front of him, Zuo Chao couldn't help being a little surprised.

The woman's name is Zhou Yunrou, a white-collar worker in a company. She is married. Her husband is a staff member in a company's out-of-town office. They have a son who is just one year old.

The woman's husband has been working abroad for three years, and usually returns home once a week. Counting the days, it is estimated that he will have to go home today.

Zuo Chao cursed and stood up.

There is a family with children, Zuo Shuhuan also wants to touch it?
While Zuo Chao scolded, he felt faintly excited.

Good boy, it can be regarded as letting him catch the handle.

That morning, he went to the original power luxury car club to maintain the car.

Then, there was a lot of noise downstairs, and the members of the HSCC club were all saying that Brother Xu had arrived.

Zuo Chao hurriedly went downstairs to welcome him.

From afar, I saw Brother Xu's fiery red Lafala stop at the door, and then, a tall figure stepped out of the car.

The guests who came to the prime mover to maintain their cars also came out, discussing in low voices, their eyes surprised. I had heard that the major shareholder behind this luxury car maintenance center is an extraordinary person. There are many luxury cars everywhere. It is rumored that they also own three great cars at the same time.

Is this the one?
"Brother Xu!" greeted everyone around.

Zuo Chao also greeted him.

"Brother Xu."

Xu Wen nodded, went straight in and went up to the second floor.

A moment later, the window.

Xu Wen and Zuo Chao stood side by side smoking, Zuo Chao told Xu Wen exactly what he saw last night.

"Brother Xu, look, am I looking for someone to contact Zhou Yunrou's husband?"

"Why, there is a sense of crisis, why didn't you open up earlier?" Xu Wen didn't answer, looking at Zuo Chao with a half-smile.

Zuo Shao sighed.

"In the past, I had no heart and no fighting spirit. I just wanted to eat and wait to die, but now, I have seen hope, and I can't back down."

Xu Wen nodded, and slowly swallowed the clouds.

"In this way, you contact that person's husband and ask him to do a paternity test quietly. Maybe the child is not his. By the way, the battle should be bigger. Afterwards, it's best to make a fuss all over the city, and the topic is straightforward." Refers to Zuo Shuhuan himself, I don’t need to teach these things, right?”

Zuo Chao fiercely nodded.

"Brother Xu is still thoughtful. If the paternity test is really not someone else's species, it will be fun."

When he thought about it casually, he could think of a hundred ways to make things worse.

As for the man's face problem, refusal to cooperate and so on, when the time comes, he will know it with affection and move him to benefit, not afraid that he will be bloodless.

Sometimes, the so-called business struggles, or family struggles for property, really don't have so many inscrutable means of turning hands into clouds and hands into rain.

Most of them are all kinds of dirty tricks, which are simple, crude and useful.

That day, Zuo Chao didn't show up and arranged for Zhou Yunrou's husband who had just returned to Haicheng.

The man's name is Zhang Zhao, with an ordinary appearance, he is hard-working and down-to-earth, at an age when he is dedicated to supporting his family, but at this moment, his complexion is pale and his lips are trembling.

"It's impossible!" He couldn't believe that his gentle and virtuous wife had done such a thing behind his back.

"Brother, look out and cooperate with us well. When the time comes, once the marriage is divorced and the money is taken, the future will still be bright." The man opposite Zuo Chao took out the agreement.

The amount on the agreement, a string of zeros, was enough for him to pay the down payment for a flat.

"As a man, you work hard outside, and your wife does this kind of thing secretly, are you willing? Are you willing to keep in the dark for the rest of your life? Be more bloody and strong, and no one will dare to laugh at you."

Zhang Zhao gritted his teeth, veins popped out on his hands, and signed his name tremblingly.

After a while, he returned home in a daze.

At the door of the house, he took a deep breath and smiled on his stiff face.

Then, open the door.

Inside the house, a virtuous figure was busy in the kitchen.

Hearing the sound, he turned around and smiled.

"Honey, you're back."

Looking at the beautiful figure in front of him, Zhang Zhao felt pain in his heart, but on the surface he wanted to pretend nothing had happened.

There was a dazzling array of dishes on the table. It seemed that they were thoughtful, and they were all his favorite dishes.

Zhou Yunrou came over and graciously helped him take off his coat, and hung it on a hanger beside him. On the crib in the living room, the child was still sound asleep.

"Look, the child is more and more like you." Zhou Yunrou lay beside the crib, teasing the child.

Zhang Zhao's heart twitched, and he forced a smile to look at the child.

"It's exactly the same as your childhood photos." Zhou Yunrou said with a light smile.

"Let's eat first." Zhang Zhao said.

Zhou Yunrou glanced at Zhang Zhao strangely.

At the dinner table, Zhou Yunrou kept holding dishes for Zhang Zhao.

"Should we still leave on Sunday afternoon?" she asked softly.

"Well, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'm going to attend a meeting of a friend." Zhang Zhao ate the delicious dishes in the past but tasted so bad today, feeling that he was suffering every minute and every second.

"Ah? So urgent this time?" Zhou Yunrou covered her mouth lightly, looking a little surprised.

"Well, I'm busy with work!" Zhang Zhao said perfunctorily.

Zhou Yunrou looked concerned.

"No wonder you feel a little tired today, my husband has worked hard."

In the past, any words of concern from Zhou Yunrou would warm Zhang Zhao's heart.

But today, it just made his heart cold, and he felt that the virtuous and beautiful figure in front of him seemed to be wearing a false mask, and every move, all affectionate, seemed to be acting.

Seeing Zhou Yunrou gently shaking his waist and taking out the clothes to dry, Zhang Zhao clenched his fists tightly.

Even after giving birth, her figure is still well maintained.

The money for postpartum recovery and various skin care and maintenance was all earned by him outside.

In the bedroom, the sheets and quilt covers have been changed and are clean.

No matter where you look at it, this is a warm and warm family of three.

It's not that Zhang Zhao has never imagined it, maybe that person is bluffing himself.

But no one is this boring.

When he thought about it carefully, there were indeed some behaviors that were overlooked in the past, but now that he thought about it, it was very strange.

For example, every time he came back early, Zhou Yunrou would ask him to go down and empty the garbage bags.

For example, Zhou Yunrou took the initiative to make video calls with him every day. At that time, there was only warmth in her heart. Now that the seeds of doubt are planted, in retrospect, it seems that this way can better determine his location and prevent him from coming back early.

Moreover, after the video call, after saying good night to each other, I usually go to work on my own, and it is impossible to send another video over.

Thinking about it now, it's terrifying.

He looked at the child who was still in the living room. Although it was difficult and painful, he still had to take such a step in the end.

Paternity Testing.

He still had a little luck.

At least?Children are their own.

While Zhou Yunrou was drying clothes on the balcony, he took out a clean cotton swab and prepared to collect oral mucosal swabs according to the method.

The child was sleeping peacefully, Zhang Zhao quickly wiped the child's mouth with a cotton swab, took a few oral swabs, wrapped them in a tissue, and put them beside him.

He didn't want to wait for a moment, wishing to know the truth immediately.

"What? Going out just after coming back?" Zhou Yunrou asked when she heard the sound of the door opening.

"Yes, I'll go to the company. Take care of the child." Zhang Zhao forced a smile and left the house in a hurry.

He found a local appraisal agency and sent the samples, but he couldn't wait a few days for the results to come out, so he directly increased the price to expedite it.

The result is immediately available.

While waiting for the result, Zhang Zhao wandered aimlessly in the park outside, circle after circle, constantly recalling the scenes of getting along with the children in his mind.

Really hope it turns out what he wants.

I don't know how long it took, but on Wechat, the staff responsible for the matchmaking from the agency came over.

"Mr. Zhang, the result is out."

Zhang Zhao paused in his heart, and typed a few words with trembling hands.

"what's the result?"
