Chapter 2576 — Chen Xi's Gratitude

"All right, I'll be going. You two rest up at home, and get to bed early. If you run into any trouble in the future, just look for Grandpa Zhu, or Zou Ruoming." Wei Zhao rose to take his leave.
"Wei Zhao-gege, you're leaving already?" Ying Ziyu was reluctant to see him go. It had been so long since Wei Zhao last came by.
"It's getting late today. Another day I'll come earlier and treat you both to dinner! Final exams are coming up soon, aren't they? Get good grades and I'll reward you properly!" Wei Zhao said.
"How good is good? Xiaoxi is already first in her year—I doubt the finals will change that. I'm a bit behind, but I should still make the top ten of the year…" Ying Ziyu could hardly imagine that there'd come a day when she actually studied hard, and that she could even rank in the top ten of the whole year at a school like Songshan No. 1 Senior High, where talent was thick on the ground.
"Mm, just keep it up at that level," Wei Zhao said with a nod.
With Ying Ziyu and Chen Xi seeing him off, Wei Zhao left their home. What he hadn't expected was that downstairs from Chen Xi's building, his car had been completely blocked in by a BMW. Wei Zhao was a little annoyed at first, but when he saw who got out of the BMW, he was immediately amused!
The visitors were none other than Zou Tiandi and Zou Ruoming!
"Great God Lin!" Zou Tiandi came charging out of the car the moment he saw Wei Zhao come downstairs. He had already received an unambiguous signal from the hidden Zhuang family: they were prepared to back him to take over some of Li Cihua's business in Songshan City and officially become the hidden Zhuang family's spokesman!
At first Zou Tiandi had been rather dazed, unable to believe that such a top-grade windfall had actually landed on his head! The hidden Zhuang family was a force to be reckoned with—and didn't they already have Tyrant Chen as their spokesman in the neighboring city? Why would they suddenly want to move into Songshan City?
Besides, wasn't Songshan City the territory of Li Cihua, spokesman for the hidden Zhao family? Once they moved in, what would become of Li Cihua? But the hidden Zhuang family's very next words set Zou Tiandi's mind at ease: Zhuang Niaoqiang told him plainly that the hidden Zhuang family was now working under Wei Zhao as well. Zou Tiandi was instantly like a man injected with chicken blood—he got the contact number for Foreman Zhu, learned where Wei Zhao was at that moment, and hurriedly brought Zou Ruoming along to drive over and thank Wei Zhao.
"What are you two doing here?" Wei Zhao was rather surprised. How had these two ended up here? It was normal enough that they knew Chen Xi's address—after all, they often protected Chen Xi and Ying Ziyu in secret—but how did they know he was here?
"Great God Lin, the hidden Zhuang family has already notified me—they're making me their spokesman. I got word of you from Mr. Zhu, so I rushed over the very first moment to thank you!" Zou Tiandi said, ardent and excited.
"Oh, so you already know. Good, then. Work hard from now on—but do legitimate business, don't get mixed up in crooked, underhanded things. You should have a clear idea of how Tyrant Chen and his son died!" Wei Zhao warned him mildly. He didn't want Zou Tiandi and his son to become men who bullied others and lorded it over women. The Zou family had some gray-market interests too, but they weren't as utterly unbridled as Tyrant Chen.
