Zhou Rui heard it clearly, but he still cleaned up the housework carefully.

It was only when he was about to go back to the bedroom that he realized that the door had been locked. With a wry smile, he had no choice but to go back to the sofa and sit down.

The Pekingese came and jumped on his lap, nestled into a ball, stroked its fur slowly, feeling the only kindness at home, Zhou Rui was very depressed.

It wasn't until he took out The Book of Morals and looked at the three golden lights on it that he gradually became more confident.

It doesn't matter if others look down on him, it was caused by the mistakes of the previous years, and no one can blame him.

But now, he doesn't want to go back to the old days. Even if Qingyun Ji couldn't forgive herself, Zhou Rui also hoped to leave a good impression on her as much as possible before leaving.

And The Book of Morals is his confidence!

He took out his mobile phone and found the picture of the diamond ring that Qingyun Ji had designed before. Staring at the design drawing, Zhou Rui thought silently in his heart.

Soon, the golden light on the book dissipated, and a unique diamond ring in the world appeared from the pages of the book.

Qingyun Ji's design skills are still very good, and since the diamond ring is made by The Book of Morals, no matter the cut, color or clarity, they are all top-notch. Coupled with the size of more than one carat, it is enough to move any woman.

Holding this diamond ring, Zhou Rui was also fascinated for a while.

Looking up at the bedroom door, he guessed that even if he knocked now, it might be the result of being scolded back. What's more, it's too childish to give away such a perfect diamond ring like this.

Zhou Rui hopes to be more cautious, at least find a better packaging box, right?

Early the next morning, Zhou Rui, who had slept all night in the living room, still went out after finishing breakfast.

The bookstore is indeed very quiet, early in the morning, there is not a single customer. After wandering around the store, Zhou Rui reorganized the books into categories.

Outside the store, two people were walking towards this side.

One of them was wearing glasses and a neat suit, looking very capable. Beside him, there was an old man in his fifties with a flattering expression on his face. He was Zhou Guimin, the owner of the shop.

"That... Lawyer Liu, don't worry, the situation of the shop is definitely the same as what I said. Although I rented out the shop to someone before, but I heard that the kid is a softie and has no skills. I will drive him out later. I will never delay your business!" Zhou Guimin said flatteringly.

Lawyer Liu looked noncommittal, and soon walked to the door of the bookstore.

Just when Lawyer Liu's phone rang, he stood at the door to answer the phone, while Zhou Guimin walked into the store quickly.

Seeing no one at the bar, he shouted: "Xiao Zhou! Xiao Zhou! Where is he?"

Zhou Rui heard someone yelling, and hurried out from behind the bookshelf. Seeing that it was the owner of the house, he was a little puzzled. What is he doing here so early in the morning?

When Zhou Guimin saw him, he straightened his face and reprimanded him, "What are you fussing about? Didn't you hear me calling you!"

"What's the matter, Uncle Zhou?" Zhou Rui asked puzzled.

"Can't you come if you have nothing to do?" Zhou Guimin snorted and said, "Then what, you can pack up and move out here later, my shop is sold to someone else."

"Ah? Sold?" Zhou Rui was surprised. This place itself is an area to be demolished. Who would buy a shop here?

"Oh, what, do you think that the whole world is a poor boy like you! My shop was bought for 20 million yuan! 20 million yuan, you can't earn it in your life. If you don't do business all day, People say you eat soft rice, don't feel ashamed!"

Zhou Rui has rented a shop for six or seven years since his parents, but Zhou Guimin has always looked down on their family.

The business of the bookstore is so bad that many people say that the feng shui in the store is not good.

Now that the shops sell at high prices, Zhou Guimin disdains Zhou Rui even more. This kind of worthless wretch, hurry up and get rid of it, you can't delay people's business!

With an upstart look on his face, Zhou Guimin said again: "Mr. Liu is coming to visit the shop soon, please be smart. If I offend people, I will immediately throw all your broken books on the street!"

Hearing that the store sold for 20 million yuan, Zhou Rui was somewhat envious. From the perspective of the bookstore business, it is true that you will not be able to earn so much in a lifetime.

Seeing the obvious envy on Zhou Rui's face, Zhou Guimin was even more elated and happy.

Thinking that I will become a multi-millionaire in the future, I suddenly feel like I have reached the pinnacle of my life.

At this time, Lawyer Liu had already entered the store.

Zhou Guimin hurriedly greeted him: "Lawyer Liu, come here, please sit down quickly. Then who, Xiao Zhou, why don't you hurry up and pour tea for Lawyer Liu! Maybe someone can give you a two-day delay for my sake. !"

When he spoke, Zhou Guimin had a haughty look on his face, as if he could help Zhou Rui a lot with just one word.

Facing the new homeowner, Zhou Rui couldn't be too indifferent, so he could only walk up to say hello.

Surprisingly, when seeing Zhou Rui, Lawyer Liu stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically, "You are Mr. Zhou, right? General Manager Zhang called me to ask about this matter, and he takes it very seriously. Zhou Rui Reality is so young, and the future is limitless, which is enviable."

As Lawyer Liu, there is really no need to please ordinary people so much. But today, Hongming Zhang has made several phone calls to intervene, which is enough to prove the importance he attaches to Zhou Rui.

And he also heard some things about Zhou Rui in the company. Not to mention anything else, just saving the lives of General Manager Zhang and his son is a great contribution.

It is entirely conceivable how important this young man is in General Manager Zhang heart!

Zhou Rui and Zhou Guimin were stunned after hearing the good words.

"Lawyer Liu, you are..." Zhou Guimin was full of doubts, what General Manager Zhang?

As far as Zhou Rui is concerned, can he have something to do with the word unlimited? A person who eats soft food, usually scolds him without daring to say a word, and still owes rent for nothing, what can he do?

Lawyer Liu ignored Zhou Guimin at all, and immediately took out several agreements from his bag and put them on the bar counter, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, this is this shop, together with the transfer agreement between the left and right. Please sign it , the house is yours. General Manager Zhang said, if you want to redecorate, he will send someone to do it immediately. "

Zhou Rui was stunned, transfer agreement?

Zhou Guimin couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and look at the address on the agreement. It was indeed the house number of the bookstore, the nearby beef soup shop, and the stationery shop.

Although the area of the beef soup store and the stationery store is not as large, the three sets of shops together cost at least more than 40 million yuan.

Zhou Guimin's expression was a little dull, more than 40 million...

He looked at Zhou Rui with a strange expression, not understanding why someone would give such a big gift. What kind of shit luck did this kid have?

Zhou Rui understood, but he didn't think what he did could have such a high value.

"I can't sign this word, it's too expensive, you'd better take it back." Zhou Rui waved his hand.

"How can that be done?"Lawyer Liu immediately said, "I General Manager Zhang, and we will finish this matter within a day. If you don't sign it, I won't be able to pay the General Manager Zhang back. I resigned. The whole family is counting on me to eat, so don't embarrass me."

"It's not that serious..." Zhou Rui said blankly.

"That..." Zhou Guimin couldn't help it, and asked, "Lawyer Liu, who is General Manager Zhang Zhang you're talking about? Why did you send this kid to the shop?"

" Hongming Zhang of Hongye Group , haven't you heard of it? As for why the house was given away, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."Lawyer Liu was not so polite to Zhou Guimin: "Besides, it seems that there is nothing like you here. It's over, please don't interrupt us to talk about things, thank you."

The wording is quite polite, but the tone is very indifferent.

However, Zhou Guimin didn't even dare to say a word.

In the eyes of ordinary people, 20 million house payments may make themselves a master. But to Lawyer Liu, Zhou Guimin was just a bastard who got a little bit of money, and he couldn't catch his eyes at all.

What shocked Zhou Guimin the most was that Hongye Group...that big company with total assets of tens of billions?

Although he just received 20 million yuan in house payments, compared to Hongming Zhang, Zhou Guimin is like dust on the ground.

General Manager Zhang gave Zhou Rui a shop, what would be the relationship between the two?

Thinking of how he yelled and dismissed Zhou Rui just now, Zhou Guimin swallowed, and showed a forced smile at Zhou Rui: "Little Zhou... Oh, no, Mr. Zhou, then what, let me first Let's go. Although I will not be the Landlord in the future, don't forget our friendship for so many years and keep in touch."

Seeing the homeowner leaving in embarrassment, Zhou Rui came back to his senses.

After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and called Hongming Zhang.

Hearing that Zhou Rui was going to refuse to accept the gift, Hongming Zhang immediately said: "Okay Little Brother, you saved the lives of me and my dad, so what's the point of sending a few sets of shops? Do you think that the lives of the two of us are less than that of the shops?" valuable?"

"I didn't mean that, but it's too..." Zhou Rui hurriedly wanted to explain.

"Since that's not what you mean, then sign it. Besides, even if you don't sign, I can still get the property right, so don't be polite to me."Hongming Zhang said.

Zhou Rui smiled wryly. With Hongming Zhang's energy, it really wasn't difficult to get this done.

"Okay, but other than this, don't give me any other rewards." Zhou Rui said.

Hongming Zhang laughed loudly, and said, "I'll talk about the rest later. I made an appointment with Director Chen for dinner at Haiyue Building at 11:30. I'll ask the driver to pick you up when you're free."

"No need, I don't know when I can go, just take a taxi later." Zhou Rui quickly refused.

Hongming Zhang didn't hold back either, he told him to sign the contract and go to the restaurant for dinner, then hung up the phone.

Looking at the three agreements on the bar, Zhou Rui hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up a pen to sign his name.

Seeing that he finally signed, Lawyer Liu was also very happy, and said, "Mr. Zhou, congratulations. If you can be valued by General Manager Zhang. By the way, this is my business card. If you have legal needs, you can come to me anytime, and I promise to do it beautifully."

Zhou Rui took the business card and saw that it said: " Jinghui Liu, chief lawyer of the legal department of Hongye Group ."

To be the Chief Counsel of Hongye Group, you don't need to think about it, he must be quite famous in the industry. Zhou Rui hurriedly put away his business card, now that there is a legal society, it is still very useful to know a good lawyer.

Afterwards, Jinghui Liu took the agreement away to handle the property rights certificate and other matters. Sitting behind the bar, Zhou Rui still felt like he was dreaming.

Looking around, this bookstore is about to truly belong to him?

Looking down at The Book of Morals on the bar, Zhou Rui's eyes grew more confident.

Sitting in the bookstore until about half past ten, Zhou Rui closed the store and walked towards Haiyue Building.

In a metropolis like Qingzhou, Haiyue Building can only be regarded as a middle-class one. With Hongming Zhang's financial ability, he is qualified and confident to go to any hotel in the world.

But today, Jinliang Chen is also traveling with him. This is a national civil servant, so naturally he can't be too conspicuous, so he chose this one.

It was past eleven o'clock when Zhou Rui came to Haiyue Tower. Called Hongming Zhang and learned that they were on the way and would arrive soon, so Zhou Rui planned to wait in the hall for a while.

Zhou Rui had been to a hotel of this level before, but at that time he was quite unconfident, he didn't dare to raise his head, so he didn't pay attention to the decoration of the hotel.

Now the mentality is slowly changing, and I have the leisure and elegance to appreciate it.

About two tables away from Zhou Rui, sat a woman in her thirties. I don't know if it's because the air conditioner in Haiyue Building is so effective, or because she prefers to dress cooler and dress up very sexy.

Especially the tube top on the upper body reveals a deep career line.

A pendant of unknown material hangs on the chest, dangling in the gully, very conspicuous.

Zhou Rui was slightly startled when he saw the woman and the pendant. Because the woman's forehead has an obvious bloody light, and the other end of the bloody light is connected to the pendant.

It was not the first time to see such a strange light, Zhou Rui couldn't help but take a second look, hesitating whether to go to remind the other party.

And that woman seemed to be aware of Zhou Rui's gaze. She looked down at her chest, then covered it, and glared fiercely: "Look at your mother!"
