The Eight Families of Shanghai

Zhou Feiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry upon hearing Zhou Cheng's words.

He was already in his thirties, yet this kid was teasing him, saying he had finally grown up.

However, reflecting on it now, Zhou Feiyu felt that compared to Zhou Cheng, he truly wasn't as mature as him!

Especially concerning matters of the heart, he couldn't see through things as clearly as Zhou Cheng!

"It's still night where I am. My flight is tomorrow morning," Zhou Feiyu said, having just finished purchasing the ticket.

"Mhm, that works out. When you get back, we can go home together," Zhou Cheng said.

Although Zhou Cheng hadn't met his Grandfather back in the Old Home since the Transmigration, nor did he have any emotional attachment, he still had to go back. After all, he inherited the identity of the Previous Self and should also inherit his social connections.

Afterward, Zhou Cheng chatted casually with Zhou Feiyu for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.

Zhou Wanyu was sitting beside Zhou Cheng, so she also overheard the conversation between Zhou Cheng and Zhou Feiyu.

She couldn't help but ask, "Second Brother, are you really not going to persuade Eldest Brother to wait one more day?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Cheng immediately glared at her.

"I am the kind of person who always advises breaking up, never reconciling," Zhou Cheng stated.

This made Zhou Wanyu shut her mouth completely.

Everyone else advises reconciliation over breaking up. Good heavens, you just had to do the opposite, didn't you!

After finishing breakfast, Zhou Cheng grabbed his things and drove to work... Although only a few people knew that the Ye Family had kidnapped Song Wanfeng to the Zhou Family Manor last night, after a whole night, especially since the entire Ye Family had been taken to the police station...

...the matter was still discovered by people from several other Families.

"The Ye Family is truly miserable now. I heard Old Master Ye even knelt down to that kid Zhou Cheng at the Zhou Family residence."

"Hahaha, who told the Ye Family to be so tactless? They totally deserved it!"

"Hmph, it's just that Zhou Feiyu is too easygoing. If it were me, that Song Wanfeng guy would have been thrown into the sea long ago!"

"I heard the entire Ye Family was sent to the police station by Zhou Cheng? Did that kid Zhou Cheng really get addicted to being a police officer?"

"Who knows? Anyway, he doesn't contact us now."

"Among the Eight Great Families of Modu, only the Zhou Family has so much drama. But that's good too, we needed some gossip for our chat!"

The Eight Great Families of Modu are, purely from a business perspective, the eight strongest Families in Shanghai recognized by everyone!

The Zhou Family and the Qin Family are among them, but neither ranks in the top three, only occupying the middle tier!

From this, one can see that Shanghai is full of hidden Dragons and crouching Tigers!

Especially after Zhou Cheng's mother passed away, the Zhou Family's status plummeted! If the Chen Family hadn't still been supporting them, and if Zhou Feiyu hadn't been capable enough to withstand the external pressure.

The entire Chenyang Group might have been suppressed and eventually plundered by outsiders!

...Jinse Media is a subsidiary of the Chenyang Group, a company founded by Zhou Shurong using the resources of the Chenyang Group.

Its main business involves filming movies and TV dramas, cultivating artists, and other entertainment aspects.

However, under Zhou Shurong's management, Jinse Media has never had a moment of glory. Every year, they invest a lot of money into filming movies and TV dramas, and they hire many top celebrities, yet the works produced each year are always mediocre.

This has resulted in Jinse Media never turning a profit!

If Zhou Shurong weren't the Young Miss of the Zhou Family, probably no one else would have so much money to throw into this losing venture.

Nor could anyone withstand such losses.

"I'm sorry, Young Miss, but I am just following orders, appointed as the General Manager of Jinse Media under the Chenyang Group's arrangement. So, your ruckus here now is useless. You should talk properly with the Second Young Master; after all, he is your biological younger brother."

"He definitely doesn't want things to become too rigid between you!"

A capable-looking woman dressed in a gray and white business suit was currently looking at Zhou Shurong with a face full of melancholy, coaxing the fiery Young Miss before her with resignation!

She was the new General Manager arranged by the Chenyang Group.

Originally, she was an executive at the Chenyang Group. After Zhou Shurong had a fight with Zhou Cheng in the hospital room, she was selected by He Yubing and assigned this position!

She knew that Jinse Media was Zhou Shurong's enterprise, and she knew she would definitely be targeted by Zhou Shurong upon arrival, but she had no choice. She was just an employee, and she had to follow the leader's arrangements.

"Young Miss, I'm just an employee, I can't help it. Please stop making things difficult for me," she added.

Hearing this, Zhou Shurong glared furiously at the woman in front of her.

She also knew this was Zhou Cheng's arrangement and had nothing to do with the woman right now!

But she just couldn't swallow her anger!

"Hmph!" Zhou Shurong said no more, grabbed her bag, and left.

In the car!

Xiao Tianling sat in the driver's seat and turned to look at Zhou Shurong.

"President Zhou, where are we going now?"

"Book me a flight. I'm going back to the Old Home right now. Since Father can't handle him, I'll talk to Grandfather. I refuse to believe that Zhou Cheng won't listen to Grandfather at his age!" Zhou Shurong said angrily.

"Understood." Xiao Tianling nodded.

He took out his phone to help Zhou Shurong book the tickets.

At the same time, he began composing a thought in his mind.

"It looks like this Young Miss won't be able to win against that Second Young Master of the Zhou Family. But that's normal. Although the Second Young Master's management skills aren't great, eventually causing the collapse of the Chenyang Group, he's skilled at internal strife. Otherwise, he couldn't have driven his own Father out of the Group."

"It's a shame. Chen Xingyao was also a strong woman. The empire she built was just squandered by her son."

"I remember there's a Private Auction in half a month, and there's a good antique there. If someone could buy it and give it to Old Master Li of the Li Family in Shanghai, maybe they could get closer to the Li Family. Should I mention it to Zhou Shurong?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell her. I'm just a useless piece of trash anyway. That kid Zhou Cheng even cursed me out last time. Whether the Zhou Family collapses or not is none of my business."

Xiao Tianling thought to himself.

At the same time, Zhou Shurong clearly heard his thoughts.

She first complained about Zhou Cheng for a few seconds, then paid attention to the matter of the antique Xiao Tianling mentioned.

Get closer to the Li Family? The Li Family is also one of the Eight Great Families of Modu!

If that's truly possible, then she must attend that auction in half a month!

It's just that Zhou Cheng froze many of her cards; she only has a few million available right now!

She wondered if she would be able to afford it then!

...Meanwhile, Zhou Cheng had no idea that Xiao Tianling was spinning these yarns again. He was sitting leisurely in the police station, waiting for an assignment!

After arriving at the police station, he learned from Sun Qian that the Ye Family had already been released last night.

He didn't care about this.

There was nothing to be done; this was reality. Wealthy Families could hire great lawyers and easily pay for bail, something ordinary people couldn't achieve.

"Captain Zhou! We have a patrol assignment. The address is Chenghu Road No. 21. The caller reported illegal medical practice and the fraudulent acquisition of a large sum of money!"

"Got it," Zhou Cheng replied, standing up at the same time.

Zhao Yier, who was beside him, quickly stood up as well when she saw Zhou Cheng rise.

She eagerly followed Zhou Cheng.
