Chapter 177: Zhou Weiguo’s Family’s Curiosity
“How’s your military training at the Whampoa Military Academy going now? Shall we find an opportunity to have a match between us? I want to test your combat power to see whether I’m a bit better or you are! Zhihui!”
When Zhou Weiguo had eaten most of the meal at the dinner table, he suddenly asked Liu Zhihui, who had excitedly rushed home from the Whampoa Military Academy.
“Sure! Although I’ve just entered the Whampoa Military Academy not long ago, I feel I won’t lose to you by much, Second Brother! The two of us can find a place anytime to have a fight!”
“Maybe you’re not even my opponent!”
In response to Zhou Weiguo’s inquiry laced with challenge, Liu Zhihui replied full of fighting spirit.
He even showed a confident expression.
“Hahaha! Sure! Then let’s the two of us set aside some time to practice and see whose military training is better!”
“I won’t show mercy then!”
Zhou Weiguo said with a laugh, in a great mood.
“We’ll know after we fight!”
“By the way! Second Brother! Why did you come back, and why didn’t you bring our cousin Zhou Wenhua along for the dinner party?”
“Actually, the reason I was able to enter the Whampoa Military Academy so quickly for military training is largely thanks to his handling things. Although our father could also pull strings, the fact that I’m receiving better treatment than ordinary people in the military academy is really his merit!”
“He helped me establish quite a few connections, so during my military training, many instructors were very good to me, teaching me seriously and taking care of me!”
Regarding Zhou Weiguo’s confidence, Liu Zhihui continued to press for an answer.
“I’ve already called him. He seems to be in Beiping now. Actually, I also hope to have a dinner party with him, because during my military training abroad, I received a lot of his care, which allowed me to communicate and chat with Xiao Ya anytime. Even the cruise ship for this return trip was arranged by him!”
“So our cousin is really quite something!”
Zhou Weiguo smiled and responded.
“Ah! He went to Beiping? What did he go there for?”
“War of resisting Japanese invaders has broken out there now, especially after the fall of Lugou Bridge. I heard the battle in Yuanping City is not looking good!”
“I’m afraid the troops there could be completely captured by the Japanese Army attacking from three sides at any time!”
“These damned Japanese invaders—I wish I could go to the battlefield right now and annihilate them all!”
Upon hearing that Zhou Wenhua had actually gone to Beiping, a place so unexpected,
Liu Zhihui immediately became curious and continued to press for an answer.
“I’m not too clear on this issue either, because I asked him too, but his reply to me was that he was going there to do business or something, but he didn’t tell me in detail what business he was doing!”
“But we probably don’t need to worry too much about him. His survival ability might be even stronger than us two brothers!”
“Otherwise, how could he have wandered abroad alone for so many years and established so many companies? That’s not something an ordinary person could do. I even admire his talent!”
“Our Zhou Family has produced such a genius businessman! That’s a good thing!”
“Moreover, he has also donated quite a few supplies and money to the 29th Route Army to support resisting Japanese invaders, so I think on the Beiping side, he might receive protection from the 29th Route Army troops!”
Zhou Weiguo shook his head and shared his thoughts.
“Yes! He is indeed our Zhou Family’s genius businessman! I have to admit I’m not his equal!”
After hearing this, Liu Zhihui couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
At this moment,
A series of doorbell sounds suddenly rang at their front door.
“Huh? Coming to our house at this time?”
“Is it Father’s friend?”
Hearing the sudden doorbell sound, Liu Zhihui was the first to express surprise.
Zhou Weiguo turned his gaze to his father Zhou Jixian, inquiring silently.
But Zhou Jixian was also very curious about who had come at this time.
Then, just as the three of them were all very curious,
The butler Hu Hua hurriedly walked over with an anxious expression to report.
“Master! A major from the Central Army has come outside. He wants the second young master to go out and see him, saying to prepare to return to the troops with him, as there might be a new assignment!”
Then, the butler Hu Hua reported.
After the words fell, the entire dining hall fell silent.
