Chapter 48: You're going to die a horrible death

  Zhou Yu is more concerned about the UK, so he knew that Anastasia de Waal would run for Birmingham City Council.

  He said and did, Zhou Yu telegraphed his two British partners, telling them about the purchase of Shen Bao shares and asking for their help.

  As for domestic matters, he handed them over to Hu Xueyan. After drafting the specific operation of the newspaper, he started doing display cabinets again.

  Through telegraph contact, Zhou Yu soon controlled the Shanghai Shun Pao with satisfaction. The British Annesley was willing to give up his own parliamentary ambitions and cut his losses, but Shun Pao is still a huge profit!

  Like this, Zhou Yu was on one hand contacting and arranging the base's matters, while on the other hand not forgetting to flirt with Little Loli, making his small days at the Hu manor quite enjoyable.

  Because Zhou Yu had a special wireless telegraph machine in the Hu Mansion, his connection with the outside world was still relatively close.

  One day, Zhou Yu was writing in his own residence at the Hu manor when Zhu'er rushed in, flustered. Nowadays, Zhu'er and Zhou Yu were extremely familiar with each other, and they would often tease him about teaching her to "play the piano...and say love". This made Zhou Yu very depressed.

  Mr. Zhou, someone has come to steal your Miss, and Zhu'er is stammering and panting as she reports this to Zhou Yu.

  She is a double agent who reports on both Zhou Yu and Hu Mei's affairs.

  Zhu'er, what's going on? You're all flustered. Come sit down, have a drink of water, calm down, and speak slowly. Don't be in such a hurry! As he spoke, Zhou Yu poured Zhu'er a cup of water.

  "Hey! Everyone is worried to death about you, but you're so calm and composed, like nothing's wrong. If Miss really gets taken away by someone else, just wait and see how heartbroken you'll be! Little face was flushed with excitement, her eyes were shining brightly as she glared at Zhou Yu."

  Zhou Yu furrowed his brow, what's going on here?! Isn't the young lady safe and sound in the mansion? Who has the audacity to cause trouble within the Hu manor?!

  Zhu'er was so angry with Zhou Yu that she could hardly breathe and had to calm down to patiently explain things to him.

  Recently, there was a turtle named Han Xianxiang (provided by book friends), who is the nephew of Shanghai Dao Tai. His family is wealthy and his personal conditions are not bad, so he looks down on everything and is extremely arrogant, feeling very good about himself.

  Because Hu Xueyan and Daotai had a lot of contact, as a junior, Han Mouren had the opportunity to get acquainted with Hu Mei. When he first saw the beautiful and unparalleled Hu Mei, Han Mouren was shocked and vowed to win her over.

  Alas, the fallen rascal has feelings, but the goddess has no intention! Hu Mei had long since belonged to someone in her heart, and as for the self-proclaimed romantic Korean man, she didn't even notice him, leaving him helpless and unable to get close to her fragrance.

  However, the cunning and crafty Hu Xueyan saw an opportunity in this, wanting to use Han to stimulate Zhou Yu's nerves, so he invited Han to his mansion as a guest, and even took him to the backyard.

  At that time, Hu Mei, who was playing the guqin in the garden, greeted Han and others out of courtesy, and then continued her performance.

  Han had a rare opportunity to get in touch with Hu Mei, now is the perfect chance, how could he miss it, so he started to talk big and entangle Hu Mei.

  Hu Xueyan made an excuse and slipped away to a secluded spot to cool off.

  Hu Mei was really bothered by Han's harassment and had no choice but to order Zhu'er to invite Zhou Yu to come and rescue her.

  Zhou Yu understood the whole story and was also unhappy in his heart, secretly resenting Hu Xueyan for being unscrupulous and bringing other men to the backyard of the Hu mansion.

  Ke Zhou Yu didn't think about it either, he was just a standard big man!

  You don't make a statement, how can Hu Xueyan not be anxious? At least you, Zhou Mouren, should give a betrothal gift or something, and then they will be at ease. This is Hu Xueyan's true intention.

  Zhou Yu knew; now the most urgent thing is to save SOS! Who knows what kind of person that so-called Korean prince is? He didn't even have time to complain about Hu Xueyan in his heart, and he quickly walked towards the garden.

  When he was close to the scene, Zhou Yu saw from afar that a suit-and-tie pretty boy was surrounding Hu Mei and saying something with a flattering expression.

  Sharp-eyed Hu Mei finally waited for the hastily arriving Zhou Yu, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly bypassed the self-feeling great Han Mouren, coquettishly saying to Zhou Yu: Brother Zhou is here! Mei has something to discuss with you!...

  Hehe! Your body has just recovered, don't go outside and catch a cold, be careful of the chill, Zhou Yu said; naturally taking off his own jacket to put on Hu Mei.

  Zhou Yu's concern made Hu Mei feel a warmth in her heart, and she shyly accepted Zhou Yu's intimate care.

  A certain Korean standing by was not in a good mood, having been there for half a day already. Hu Mei was ignoring him, but as soon as this young man arrived, she immediately became enthusiastic and welcoming. Therefore, his eyes staring at Zhou Yu were also sharp like knives. "Who the hell are you to steal my thunder?" he thought to himself, feeling extremely annoyed. The Korean guy was secretly criticizing Zhou Yu while simultaneously asking Hu Mei with a venomous tongue:

  Mei's sister, who is he? You return his dirty clothes to him, my suit is for you! My clothes are Versace limited edition. Han Mouren approached Hu Mei, took off his suit and shook it loudly, as if afraid that others wouldn't hear.

  Mr. Han, please mind your words, we are not familiar with each other, please don't call me like that again. As he spoke, he carefully observed Zhou Yu's reaction, afraid of being misunderstood. However, towards Mr. Han's good intentions, he didn't show any appreciation and instead was quite rude to him.

  Zhou Yu listened with a slight curl of his lip, but didn't show any expression.

  Hu Mei finally let out a sigh of relief in her heart, and at the same time, she felt a little sour. He still didn't care about himself! Miss had to work harder!

  A certain Korean's words had a subtle meaning and made everyone laugh.

  Jiǎo èr kāi lǎng de zhū er xiān shì biē zhuò le xiào, hòu lái kě jiù shí zài rěn bù zhù le, bù gù xíng xiàng de dà xiào qǐlai, zhí xiào dé hán mǒu rén shì mò míng qí miào.

  When Zhu'er finally stopped laughing, Han Mouren couldn't help but ask her strangely, "Is there something wrong with this little girl?"

  Haha! Do you know whose company Versace is?

  Zhu'er didn't bother to ask why someone called her "little servant girl", and before Han could respond, she coquettishly exclaimed: "From design to production, it's all done by the man you despise! You're still showing off your clothes, can I not laugh? Ah... haha... it's too funny! Zhu'er seemed to have thought of something, and continued to giggle uncontrollably.

  A certain Korean person retorted in surprise; how is this possible? Isn't Versace a British brand? Is it Mr. Kors' design and production? How can it be designed by this country bumpkin?

  Zhou Yu was afraid that Zhu'er would talk nonsense, so he hastily took over and said, "This gentleman, Miss Zhu'er is just joking with you, please don't take it seriously. I'm just a rustic villager, not worth mentioning."

  Oh! No matter, no matter, Mr. where are you from? The Korean who talks nonsense won't stop until he defeats Zhou Yu! He wants to make a move on Zhou Yu's work!

  Zhou Yu discovered that Han had taken advantage of the conversation to put his suit back on, probably because he was cold.

  Actually, if that Korean person wasn't so petty-minded, Zhou Yu wouldn't mind being friends with him, after all they're both Chinese people, no need to create internal conflicts among the people!

  However, from the start, Han somehow instinctively treated Zhou Yu as a love rival, and Zhou Yu had no way to show him kindness.

  I'm just doing some small business, nothing worth mentioning, haha! Zhou Yu said with a forced modesty.

  Han was also bitter in his heart! Originally, he was self-proclaimed to be romantic, but when the tall and handsome Zhou Yuyi appeared, he covered up his own momentum. Moreover, Hu Mei's affectionate gaze at Zhou Yuyi, with her enchanting eyes, made it clear to him, an old hand in the pleasure quarters, that there was a problem at first glance.

  Oh! So brother is a worldly businessman, I wonder if brother has any poems to match the scenery? Han Mouren sneered and raised his chin high, asking with disdain. He just wanted Zhou Yu to lose face, to show off his own uniqueness and nobility.

  I'm just a rustic simpleton, I only understand the village dialect, I don't dare to show my ugliness in front of you, brother! Zhou Yu said with a push.

  I just saw this beautiful scenery and had some thoughts; 'Severe winter does not wither, how can it show its absolute color', the meaning is to praise Hu Mei secretly, using the scenery to describe people.

  Han shook his head and said with a self-satisfied expression, looking at Zhou Yu, thinking to himself: Although you are taller than me, when it comes to poetry couplets, how can you, a stinky businessman, be my opponent, the so-called "Couplet King" and nicknamed "Daqing Tang Bohu"? Hmph...

  Zhou Yu didn't want to make a fuss, but seeing Hu Mei's beautiful eyes pitifully begging him, he suddenly felt a thrill in his heart and decided to show off in front of the beauty.

  Then Zhou Yu said in a very uncertain tone: Your poem is beautiful, it's really a good poem! However, in my humble opinion, there are still some places that can be improved.

  Han felt a sudden jump in his heart, oh! So how should we change between us?

  Zhou Yu said calmly: The poem's meaning is inconsistent, and it's not well-structured or rhyming. It can be revised to: "If winter doesn't wither, how can we see the color of spring?" I seem to recall that Tang Dynasty poet Lv Wen described it this way in his "River Pavilion at Pujin Pass on a Winter's Day". What do you think, Brother Han?

  A certain Korean person heard this and became red-faced and ear-red, unable to say a word. Why?

  Haha! Because Zhou Yu exposed his old bottom, he plagiarized Lv Wen's poem, and was actually recognized by the person he thought was a commoner - Zhou Yu, how could he not be embarrassed?

  The original poem is described as follows:

  The boat has not yet reached the end of its journey, and it is not lost in the vast ocean. Standing alone on the great river, the north wind blows towards me.

  Since the snow and frost began, the grass and trees should be renewed. If the severe winter does not kill, how can we see the sunny spring?

  Hu Mei was reminded of this poem by Zhou Yu's words, no wonder when Han Mouren recited it at the time, she had a feeling of familiarity like a swallow returning home. She despised Han Mouren even more in her heart.

  Zhou Yu continued on the topic from earlier and said: Since Brother Han has a poetic interest, I also have a poem, please point it out to me.

  But in his heart, he said: You'd better behave and listen to your master Zhou Daxia's extraordinary pirated poem! I bet you can't even tell it's pirated.

  Scoffing at Petty People

  The new moon is just a bright line, and the energy swallows the blue sky and then spreads horizontally.

  At thirteen I thought myself full of wisdom and virtue, but at fifteen I came to understand the emptiness of my mind.

  Zhou Yu's poem implies that a certain Korean person has an arrogant and self-important appearance, like a small-minded person who has achieved success. The three people who listened to the poem had different expressions.

  Hu Mei was surprised at Zhou Yu's arrogance, which did not match his original character.

  Zhu'er was overjoyed and couldn't stop giggling.

  But Han, who was self-proclaimed as extraordinary, immediately became ashamed and his old face turned purple with rage, and he hated Zhou Yu even more.
