Showdown, chaos, and the wonders of cards.

Being swept into the hall, Zhou Kai felt unpleasant.

The smell in the ...... hall was not the scent of the freshener he was used to, but seemed to have been replaced by a much lighter floral scent.

Zhou Kai frowned slightly.

He loathed the change.

Luckily, Sam quickly escaped the grip of the reporters and entered the lobby, politely greeting Zhou Kai and guiding him towards the elevator.

After entering the elevator, he pressed the elevator button and then turned to Shen Zhangqing: "Mr. Shen, how have you been?"

The day before yesterday, Shen Zhangqing's chest plate has been completely removed, and the bone injury is almost completely healed under 061's assisted treatment.

He took Zhou Kai's arm and gave Sam a gentle, polite nod, "Thank you, Mr. Sam, I'm fine."

Zhou Kai is not bad looking, but with his age here, he has a decrepit look.

Sam on the left and Shen Zhangqing on the right, both young and energetic faces, accentuating his waning years.

In such a stark contrast, Zhou Kai's face became more and more ugly, and he grunted heavily through his nose.

Sam ignored his obvious annoyance and continued to chat with Shen Zhangqing, "You look much better than the last time I went to Mr. Zhou's house."

Shen Zhangqing smiled shallowly and did not say anything unnecessary.

In a simple exchange of words, the two of them have already released signals to each other.

Sam believed that Shen Zhangqing, like himself, did not want to put up with the bossy old man.

And Chi Xiaochi confirms that Sam has no intention of curbing his ambitions.

He said to 061, "Mr. Six, see what happens."

061 said, "Whenever you can, you take care of yourself."

Chi Xiaochi: "I'll just take care of Shen Zhangqing."

The elevator reaches the ballroom on the 25th floor, and the doors open slowly on both sides.

Sam didn't ask for permission as usual, but took a step ahead of Zhou Kai and entered the hall openly.

Preempted by Zhou Kai, he froze for a moment, then became furious and took the elevator in his stride, dragging Shen Zhangqing to a standstill.

As he watched Sam take the two champagne glasses and hand one of them to himself in a hostile manner, Zhou Kai's veins flared at the corners of his forehead.

But he took it anyway.

To this day he still refuses to believe it.

He'd thought that maybe Sam would grow out of taking himself seriously once he was in power, but he'd never imagined that the day would come so soon.

However, the truth was not for him to disbelieve anymore.

Zhou Kai, who had sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere from the moment he entered the room, felt a growing sense of unease and trepidation in his heart.

The people in the entire banquet hall are trying to avoid positive contact with him, if they meet face to face and can not be avoided, the person will not behave too awkwardly, and Zhou Kai exchanges a few pleasantries, but in the words of politeness and detachment, clinking glasses and then withdrew, both appropriate and indifferent.

The room was full of clothes and laughter, which seemed to have nothing to do with Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai The pent-up frustration in his heart grew so heavy that he could not even wait to shout at everyone, telling them to shut up and declaring his presence.

But his face mattered in the end.

Is he going to act crazy in front of his subordinates, like an uncontrolled Alzheimer's patient?

...... Alzheimer's?

Thinking of this term, his heart became more and more appalled, and he turned back to look for Shen Zhangqing's figure.

Just now, he was so full of anger and boredom that he was turning around in the hall, he couldn't even care about maintaining the illusion of love, and long ago, he didn't know where he had dumped Shen Zhangqing.

After looking around, he saw Shen Zhangqing chatting with Sam.

Zhou Kai wouldn't have chosen Shen Zhangqing out of all the male models if he didn't have a good face and body, and Sam, with his high nose and deep eyes, and blonde hair combed neatly, is an unexpected harmony of appearance standing together.

A dark fire ignites in Zhou Kai's eyes.

When did they get to know each other so well?

What are they secretly scheming behind their backs?

He stepped forward and crossed his eyes grimly between Shen Zhangqing and Sam, "...... What are you guys talking about?"

Sam remained unchanged and smiled frankly, "Mr. Zhou, our topic is not necessarily of interest to you."

Zhou Kai did not say anything, straight hook lock Shen Zhangqing.

Shen Zhangqing's eyes were bright: "We were talking about dogs. Mr. Sam's family owns Anna, a Golden Retriever, who recently gave birth to three puppies. Looking at the photos, they are very cute, and I want one to be a companion for Herp."

...... He "wants" to?

When did it come to his turn to "think" in this family, Shen Zhangqing?

To his surprise, Sam and Shen Zhangqing quickly ignored him and continued their conversation.

Sam asks, "How's Herp doing?"

"Recently in the pet hospital." Shen Zhangqing's face didn't change, with a gentle and friendly smile, "A little cold and fever, not a serious illness, but I was afraid that it had been spoiled by me and couldn't withstand the illness, so I sent it to be hospitalized for convalescence."

"Doesn't this get more and more delicate the more you raise it?"

Shen Zhangqing pursed her lips and smiled reservedly.

Zhou Kai watched Shen Zhangqing's every move, his back teeth gnashing.

When did ...... he become so good at lying and acting?

Sam said, "These days dogs are more delicate than people, and they get sick all the time, but what can they do when they are sick? They can only be sent for convalescence."

Zhou Kai tasted the thorn in his side and his face suddenly changed: "What do you mean?"

Sam looked at Zhou Kai in confusion, "Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Kai resisted the urge to grab him by the collar and punch him in his smiling dog face, "I asked you, where's Frank?"

"Frank?" Sam understated, "Oh, he left."

Zhou Kai is shocked, "When did this happen?"

Sam said, "The same day you left."

...... leaving?

What departure? Who left?

Without waiting for Zhou Kai, Sam looked at his wrist, nodded respectfully, and put his half-drunk champagne into the tray of a passing waiter, "Please wait a moment. The party will start soon."

The spotlight hits the hosting stage and the head of public relations walks to the stage with the same opening remarks as always, which haven't changed much in over a decade.

But Zhou Kai had a hunch.

...... changed, all changed.

And just a minute later, Zhou Kai's hunch came true.

The Minister of Public Relations said, "This mid-year gathering is very meaningful. First of all, let's thank our former Chairman, Mr. Zhou Kai, for his attendance."

Sam clapped, so the others clapped in unison.

Thunderous applause for Zhou Kai, their former chairman.

Shen Zhangqing stood quietly with a glass of champagne in his hand, looking around, watching everyone's behavior and seemingly not surprised.

In the midst of all this applause, Zhou Kai got silly.

After a moment, he stormed off in anger, "'Ex'? Whose decision? Whose decision is this? Why wasn't I informed?"

Countless faces, either indifferent or wary or uneasy, looked at Zhou Kai, but without the awe they had felt earlier.

Zhou Kai's eyes were bloodshot as he turned his head and forced Sam to look at him : "Was it your idea? Sam-Longman?"

Sam looked at Zhou Kai in silence.

No one told him it was because he, Zhou Kai, was a failure as a human being.

Over the years, he had not been able to cultivate a true crony at all, and those who had been around him were either full of hatred and ambition, or timid and unassertive.

This is a country built by Zhou Kai, where employees are the screws that keep the company running and nothing else.

After all these years, a lot of people, not just Sam, have had enough.

Personnel change, go away, stay, stay, are left behind, are not willing to give up their own years and Zhou Kai to work hard to earn the heart and soul.

But it wasn't that long ago that Zhou Kai, with his foul mouth, nearly dragged the ship down with him.

It made everyone who didn't want to be buried at sea realize that it was time for them to get a new captain.

"You have caused great damage to the company's reputation while suffering from a serious illness, and it is the board's resolution to expel you from the board, not my decision alone." Sam Sheng Sheng said, "Mr. Zhou, please calm down."

"Fart!"

Zhou Kai, how can you stay calm?

He was fired? Fired by the man he promoted? On the basis of fucking racism and Alzheimer's?

The former he could barely recognize, the latter was clearly a reprieve!

He yelled at the top of his lungs, "I'm not sick!"

Employees familiar with his virtues naturally had no reaction, but there were also relatives of company employees attending the mid-year party, who were frightened and backed away when they saw him being so irascible.

Shen Zhangqing came up and dragged his arm, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, don't be angry, let's go home."

Before the words left his mouth, his wrist was snatched by Zhou Kai.

His falcon-like eyes were eager to pluck a piece of flesh from Shen Zhangqing.

"It's you? It's you!"

With a raise of his hand, he threw Shen Zhangqing out hard.

Chi Xiaochi was prepared for this, so after a few stumbles he was able to keep his balance and land firmly on the ground.

A thick carpet on the floor gives Chi Xiaochi plenty of room to maneuver.

So this fake fall is very bumper to bumper.

Zhou Kai Once he did it, it was hard to put the brakes back on, and he lifted his foot and kicked it hard towards the tabletop full of snacks!

Seeing that he was in a starting position to strike, Chi Xiaochi immediately seized the moment and shouted to 061, "Now!"

061 has long been standing by.

Chi Xiaochi's display of disinterest in Zhou Kai, his departure from Zhou Kai's jurisdiction, his initiation of a conversation with Sam, and the events of today have successfully turned Zhou Kai into a firecracker.

And all Chi Xiaochi and 061 had to do was to light this fire so big that Zhou Kai couldn't even clean it up.

Name: Strength Enhancement Card (short-acting single)

Duration: 1 minute

Number of pieces: 1

Quality: Medium

Type: Single-use product

Required exchange points: 7

Introducing: Popeye's spinach, crunchy and sweet, with a lingering aftertaste. Although spinach and tofu are cheap, mountain treasures and sea food are not exchangeable.

Chi Xiaochi : "......" convinced.

Just as the card worked, Zhou Kai's foot hit the table.

With a rumbling sound, the table was kicked over directly, delicate plates and dishes shattered sparsely, pastries tumbled down, and the empty wine glasses that many people had casually placed on top and had not had time to clean up flew out horizontally, making crisp popping noises one after another.

Screams rose and fell.

Chi Xiaochi moves quickly, pulling the dumbfounded guest of honor next to her and dragging her out of harm's way.

She looked at the mess in shock, and when she looked up at Shen Zhangqing, her gaze was already full of sympathy and horror: "Mr. Shen, you ......"

Chi Xiaochi gave her a strong and helpless smile back.

Only 061 knows that Chi Xiaochi is now more excited than seeing the Leonid meteor shower.

Seeing the mess he had created, Zhou Kai froze for a moment, feeling that he had not exerted any effort, but had caused panic in the whole venue.

Everyone ...... looked at him like he was looking at a monster.

He stood frozen for a long time, suddenly felt that his bones and tendons were numb, and fell to the ground, his limbs convulsed violently.

But he was still conscious, staring at Shen Zhangqing with wide eyes.

"Oh my God!" Someone screamed, "He's having a spasm!"

People who saw this were horrified and pulled out their cell phones to contact the hospital.

Chi Xiaochi said to 061, "From now on, in the eyes of outsiders, he really is a patient."

The scariest thing in the world is when you are obviously healthy, but the whole world thinks you are sick.

Like Shen Zhangqing, who is living in hell and trying to convince everyone that he is happily living in heaven.

Zhou Kai can savor the taste of this black-and-white and difficult-to-speak experience.

And Chi Xiaochi's chosen home for him is psychiatry, which suits him just fine.

This situation was beyond Sam's expectation. He knew that Zhou Kai would make a scene, but he didn't think it would get to the point where he would even get down.

He had a bit of a headache and had to turn his attention to Shen Zhangqing.

As a conscientious current partner, "Shen Zhangqing" rushed to Zhou Kai's face, and in the face of his terrifying, cannibalistic gaze, she turned a blind eye and comforted him by saying, "The ambulance will be here in a minute, so hang in there. Hang in there."

Zhou Kai struggled, his limbs contracted, but he couldn't get up.

He squeezed a horribly low growl out of his throat, "Go home!"

"But the hospital ......"

"Not going to the hospital! Not anywhere!"

Those who were a little closer to them heard Zhou Kai's gritted teeth, "...... You dare to send me to the hospital, I will kill you."

All those present: "......" They had the heart to call the police.

Shen Zhangqing seemed to be frightened, and her entire body shivered violently as she whispered, "Okay, okay. We'll go home."

Chi Xiaochi made this choice because Zhou Kai's regret value moved.

The data that had been silent for so long, as if dead, jumped from 0 to 5.

It wasn't exactly a welcome improvement, but it was enough for Chi Xiaochi to determine that a crack had been knocked in the seemingly invulnerable Zhou Kai.

So why doesn't he push on?
