Mr. Zhou Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

 Chapter 1.2

Zhi Qi almost passed out from his anger: “You want to quit? Do you have the money to pay for the penalty fee if you’re backing out?”

 

Zhou Chenxi really didn’t have any money. In his last life, he gave up to inherit his family’s business in order to pursue his dream in show business. Father and Mother Zhou told him not to come back if he dared to enter the entertainment circle so Zhou Chenxi was really angry and didn’t come back. When he ran away from the Zhou family, he was penniless. For a while, he only ate instant noodles. It was only after Zhi Qi caught a fancy on him when he was playing a small role in the film studio that he got a little better.

 

But compared to the destruction of the Zhou family, this little money was nothing. As long as he went back and acted like a spoiled child to his brother then everything would be settled. At worst, he could just find ways to earn money and return it to his brother later.

 

Zhou Chenxi said seriously and solemnly, “Brother Qi, you don’t have to be afraid, I can afford the money, you just have to help me cancel my contract.”

 

The medical staff who followed after Zhi Qi here looked at him awkwardly before then looked at Zhou Chenxi again, not knowing whether to go and help to deal with the wound or not. They always felt that the young man with blood running down his forehead looked tall, thin and very good-looking but he just didn’t seem right in the head.

 

Zhi Qi sighed and said, “Then you go back and rest for a while. You’ve really worked hard these past two days. Anyway, today’s recording is just about over. I’ll come and pick you up for the next episode show then.”

 

Zhi Qi thought, Zhou Chenxi said that in the moment of his anger. After all, he had the impression that Zhou Chenxi really didn’t have much money. In the beginning, Zhi Qi had lent Zhou Chenxi several tens of thousands Yuan in order to support him. Although Zhou Chenxi had quickly paid it back, he didn’t think Zhou Chenxi should not just give up his job like that.

 

Zhou Chenxi didn’t know Zhi Qi’s thoughts, so after saying goodbye to him, he stopped a car at the entrance and told the driver he was going to the Zhou family’s villa.

 

On the way, the radio in the car was playing the news that newcomer Luo Xinghe had taken up a new advertising endorsement.

 

The driver turned his head, chatted and tried to be friendly with Zhou Chenxi, “Young lad, you look quite young. Are you one of the Zhou family’s servants? Think about it, it’s quite strange too that Zhou Mingxuan and Lu Ji of the Lu Family look just a little older than you, even Luo Xinghe, who is on the news, is about the same age as you. How can there be such a big difference between people?”

 

Zhou Chenxi: “…”

 

So angry!

 

When he arrived at the Zhou family’s residence, Zhou Chenxi got out of the car and was immediately greeted by the security guards outside the Zhou family.

 

“Little Young Master?!” The moment the security guard saw Zhou Chenxi, he almost cried out, “Ah you are back?! Come in quickly! These two days, the elder young master, Madam Zhou and Chairman Zhou have been reminiscing about you, saying that they watched your new tv program. They have been discussing when you will be back, you know!”

 

Zhou Chenxi’s eyes welled up.

 

He knew that his brother always kept thinking of him but he didn’t know that Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were actually secretly concerned about him too. They had always been like that. A mouth that was sharp like a knife but soft hearted likened to a tofu, Zhou Chenxi should have understood that. He didn’t know what he was thinking in his previous life. All he was thinking about in his head was only about acting. He even cut off contact with his own family. If only he could have understood all of this earlier, the tragedy of the Zhou family might not have happened.

 

Zhou Chenxi rubbed his eyes and asked, “Have my Dad and my mom come back from abroad?”

 

The security guard said, “Not yet! They just came back two days ago and left again after that. You can ask the butler to contact the elder young master and ask him to tell the chairman and madam hurry up and come back. They have been missing you a lot…”

 

Zhou Chenxi hurriedly said, “No need, let them have fun! I’ll go in first.”

 

The security guard was moved by him and sent Zhou Chenxi to the front door. Shortly afterwards, the housekeeper also came out and greeted Zhou Chenxi with a lot of warmth. He inquired solicitously about his well-being. Zhou Chenxi felt so good to be home that he couldn’t stop the sour feeling on his nose.

 

As soon as the butler saw the wound on Zhou Chenxi’s forehead, he promptly found a medicine box to help him bandage it up. At this time, Zhou Mingxuan happened to come back from the office; he was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Chenxi, and he immediately saw the wound on his forehead: “Who bullied you, was it ‘that Luo Xinghe’?”

 

Zhou Mingxuan actually already knew about Luo Xinghe now?

 

Zhou Chenxi hurriedly said, “No one bullied me, it was me who fell off the stage by myself.”

 

Only then did Zhou Mingxuan put his mind at ease. Soon after that, he put on a stern face: “Now you know how to go back? Did you finish spending all of your money outside? I told you right, why did you run away from home when everything is perfectly all right?”

 

Zhou Chenxi: “…” That’s not so miserable.

 

Zhou Chenxi was thinking about how to explain when he suddenly heard Zhou Mingxuan say stiffly, “Forget it, you should go up and rest first! Look at these dark circles under your eyes, they’re almost hanging down to your chin.”

 

“…”

 

Zhou Chenxi touched his own eyes. He said in his heart that he was indeed really his biological elder brother.

 

He went upstairs to take a look of himself in the mirror, thinking to himself that ‘Gege actually already knew at this moment that he and Luo Xinghe didn’t get along with each other?’

 

As expected, Gege has been secretly paying attention to me right?

 

But now he didn’t have a Weibo account yet nor did he show that he really hated Luo Xinghe ah?

 

After sleeping at home for a few days, manager Zhi Qi urged Zhou Chenxi to work again. He had been waiting for Zhou Chenxi to contact him. After all, there were some things that couldn’t wait: “Zhou Chenxi, when are you going back to the company? The filming of the next episode of《I’m the Real Actor》will start soon.”

 

“Didn’t I say that I won’t be going anymore?” Zhou Chenxi yawned as he turned over and said, “I’ve also sent you everything that related with the application form to withdraw from the competition. I’ll find a way to send you the money once the program team has stamped the document.”

 

“You are kidding right?” Zhi Qi said, “It’s not easy at all for you to make it to the final. Wouldn’t it be such a waste (original word used ‘pity’) to give up just like that?”

 

“I don’t feel it was such a waste at all,” Zhou Chenxi said with a straight face, “It’s only a pity if I don’t give up. You can see that all the participants in the show are very outstanding. Just randomly mention one of them, they all are better than me, so why should I butt in?”

 

“Who is it ah?” Zhi Qi said angrily, “Who’s better than you? Say it!”

 

Zhi Qi went through his head once. Suddenly, he felt that Zhou Chenxi had a point. Indeed, the finalists were all better than Zhou Chenxi. Zhi Qi was speechless for a moment and said, “Just think and consider it carefully! I’ve already pushed down your request for withdrawing from the competition. To cancel the contract, don’t even think about it! There’s still a few days left, so you can prepare and maybe there will be a change of heart!”!”

 

There won’t be any change of heart. Zhou Chenxi thought, after turning over for one lifetime, wasn’t he still a salted fish? Then he might as well lie down obediently, maybe by being the salted fish could change his fate?
