C1730 Busy new year's eve
During the Spring Festival, everyone would reunite with each other. No matter what relationship Zhou Hao had with other women, no matter how good their relationship was, Zhou Hao could only spend it together with his parents, wife, and children at home.
However, because of Liu Hongmei, the Zhou Family's New Year's Eve had an additional guest like her. Furthermore, she did not have any relatives or friends, nor did she have any other families or lonely situations.
From her outer appearance, Liu Hongmei seemed to be a young woman who was not even thirty years old, but in reality, she was already close to forty years old.
She was different from an ordinary person. Other people would think that they loved each other every season, but she didn't feel much about it. After all, she hadn't had any family to accompany her during the holidays.
The only regret was that Xiao Zhao was not by her side, but she had already told Zhou Hao that this Spring Festival was a test for Xiao Zhao, and the Zhou family had treated Liu Hongmei very well, and did not treat her as an outsider.
Although she was old, because she had a special relationship with Zhou Hao, the two of them were sisters even though they were more than ten years apart in age.
Furthermore, Liu Hongmei was a girl before marriage. In Zhao Yuqin's opinion, it was not bad to have such a big sister since she only had her brother and not her sister.
On the night of New Year's Eve, a few Zhou family members were having a holiday together. Not only were their parents there, even his wife and son were there.
However, on a normal Spring Festival night, there would be some differences between southerners and northerners. According to the traditions of Zhou Hao's hometown, it should be a Spring Festival in the south.
But since everyone was currently in the north, and Zhou Liren spent most of his time in the north, he had already gotten used to eating dumplings on New Year's Eve.
Although Liu Hongmei was the Sect Leader of Devil Cult, she did not have many opportunities to leave Macau in her lifetime.
However, in the matter of cooking, Liu Hongmei was no longer as powerful as the female hero Martial Arts Master. Even though he had many hidden weapons and weapons in his hands, it was as if he had grown eyes.
The dumplings in her bag did not resemble the ingots from the past, they simply could not stand steadily, and were completely lying on the table. Even though the Zhou Family did not mock Liu Hongmei, she was already very embarrassed.
It was just that this brat was simply messing things up, he would never make dumplings for her, but with Liu Hongmei accompanying him, there was no awkwardness at all, in fact, she was more happy than ever.
Other than making dumplings for dinner, the most important thing for festivals was to pay New Year respects. It was already the end of the twentieth century, and the communication was not as undeveloped as it was in the past.
From night time onwards, Zhou Hao's phone and home phone never stopped ringing. Countless relatives and friends started to call to say their farewells.
The current Zhou Hao was different from his previous life. Not only was he the richest man in the world with a hundred billion dollars, he was also a man who belonged to a lot of women.
But everyone knew each other, and because they were sure they couldn't leave Zhou Hao, they could only acquiesce to others being around them.
If Zhou Hao hadn't gone missing for more than a year, they would probably have fought each other over this. Both of them knew that they couldn't leave Zhou Hao.
Every single one of them was paying New Year respects to Zhou Hao's family. As long as Zhou Hao's parents knew about this, every single girl that Zhao Yuqin had ever seen before would pay New Year respects to them as well.
Like some girls that Zhou Hao's family had never seen before. For example, Xiao Zhao, they could only pay their New Year respects to him. After all, there were many things that could not be explained to everyone.
As a foreigner, he would definitely not experience the Chinese New Year. Furthermore, she could clearly remember that it was because of Zhou Hao, not to mention that Zhou Hao had a daughter who was at the Seven Seas Smoke place.
Because of her special identity, Zhou Hao had never mentioned Smoke of the Seven Seas to his parents or Zhao Yuqin, even if Zhou Liren doubted his relationship with his.
After all, no matter how strong his Imperial Palace Wind-repelling Flow was, he was still considered a top ranked sect in the, so his influence would not be too great.
The family he belonged to was an established family in the Volcano Country, and they already existed there. Of course, the person in charge of the household had already changed, outsiders did not know, but Zhou Liren would not know how he would react if they knew that he was his daughter-in-law.
In this way, not only was the Seven Seas Smoke unable to walk, even the daughters of the two could only exist in the shadows. Fortunately she was no longer in China, but living in Australia.
In fact, compared to Zhou Hao, Seven Seas Smoke's life was much safer. After all, the enemies in their family had all been cleaned up before Zhou Hao had even returned to their home country.
The remaining people couldn't cause any trouble at all. Now that Smoke of the Seven Seas was no longer in the Pirates' Country, there wasn't much need for it. She had experts protecting her as well.
By the time it was 12, the women who knew Zhou Hao had all finished calling. In fact, they could only give Zhou Hao a call, they all had their own families, and spent the new year in their own homes.
Actually, girls like Li Xinghua already knew about Zhou Hao's existence at home. They all hoped that their son-in-law would be able to spend the new year with his daughter.
However, they still knew a bit about Zhou Hao's situation. They were satisfied with everything their son-in-law had, except that Hua Xin was not satisfied, and now, they had no way to celebrate New Year together. It was truly a pity.
Towards these seniors of his family, Zhou Hao could only pay New Year respects to them. He promised to pay a visit to them one by one after the new year.
They did not care who Zhou Hao actually contacted. It was just that Zhou Liren did not forget to remind Zhou Hao not to hold a conversation with someone over the phone. After all, there would be many people who would come to visit.
Zhou Liren was now different from before. He was no longer a First Army Big Boss of a secret department, and now that he had entered the center, there would definitely be some people who would come to pay respects to him.
And for these people who came to visit, their positions should not be lower than Zhou Liren's current status. It was even more possible that some of the top big shots in the entire country would call them.
He could not let this affect his father's career. Actually, Zhou Liren was not an official fanatic, but in his position, he had to pay more attention to him.
As expected, after Zhou Hao put down the phone, Zhou Liren's comrades immediately called him to offer their new year greetings. There were calls from various departments and departments from some countries, and even the country's top boss number two had already called.
However, he had also sent someone over to pay respects to the new year, allowing Zhou Hao to understand more clearly how important his father was to the political board.
Previously, Zhou Liren could not even be considered as sitting at the top conference table, but now, he was actually being valued so highly by all the big heads, which meant that he was definitely going to become one of the standing committees in the future. At that time, even if he officially replaced his godfather, Zhao Lixin, he would still be his father-in-law.
After all, the time was still short and he did not have the qualifications to be old enough. If he did not go up now, it would definitely not be a problem for him in three to five years. Zhou Hao, who possessed the memories of his previous life, knew what this signified.
Especially when Big Brother Hu called, Zhou Hao was especially enlightened. Even if he did not have the memories of his previous life, he would be able to live for at least a dozen years in the future.
There was no need to worry too much. His father had obviously boarded Boss Hu's ship. This was no ordinary ship, it was simply an aircraft carrier.
Other people might not know how great the future of the current Boss Hu would be, but how could Zhou Hao not know that once the current number one chief stepped down, the boss of the country would be Boss Hu, a strong leader at that.
Boss Hu's team received praise from the masses, and his own father, Zhou Liren, would obviously not be able to become one of the seven standing committees. At that time, his father would be able to become one of the nine standing committees of Boss Hu, and that would be even stronger than now.
Zhou Liren naturally did not know that much, he only had a very good impression of Boss Hu. The current Boss Hu was still young, and was not much older than Zhou Liren.
Although there was a gap in their positions, they could still be considered good friends in private. He didn't know that the future Chief Hu would be the one in charge, but his voice was loud.
According to how much time had passed, there were still three years until the next change in class. Although three years didn't seem like a long time in a political career, in reality, only five years was a full year and three years was still a long time. Zhou Liren did not plan to place the bet on Boss Hu.
The country seemed to be very stable now, but no one dared to casually stand in line. If they were to stand in the wrong place, then something might happen, at least Zhou Liren did not reveal his position very clearly.
Right now, he could only be considered a member of Zhao Pai. Since he did not officially take over Zhao Lixin's position, he could only be considered Zhao Pai in name and Zhou Yi in reality.
Then, when he answered Boss Hu's call, Zhou Hao gave a mysterious smile to his father and said, "Father, Brother Hu has a good relationship with you. You should have a good relationship with Boss Hu, right?"
Zhou Liren did not know whether to laugh or cry. Looking at his son's rare appearance of gossiping, he could only say in a deep voice, "Don't speak nonsense, just say it at home. Forget about my relationship with him, you can't just call him whatever you want.
"Hehe, dad, you're overthinking it. Who dares to say that Boss Hu is a gangster, that means he doesn't want to live anymore. He's a serious senior revolutionary. I'm just curious about the relationship between you and him." Zhou Hao laughed mischievously.
Zhou Liren was actually quite helpless towards his son, he could only shake his head and laugh: "Even if the political views between us are quite similar, why are you asking all these?"
"It's nothing. I just feel that Boss Hu is a good person. You guys communicate more. I don't care about politics anyways. I'm just relying on my feelings. You can just listen." Zhou Hao shrugged his shoulders. He naturally couldn't say that he knew that Boss Hu was the future number one chief.
Zhou Liren looked at Zhou Hao strangely. His son did not care about politics, and it was rare for him to hear such words from someone, could it be that he was just taking a liking to Boss Hu?
"No matter what, I'm still called Brother Hu." Zhou Liren unconsciously shook his head. His own son was fine with everything, but he didn't seem like his son at all, as if he understood Zhou Liren more than him.
Zhou Hao could tell that Zhou Liren took his words to heart and smiled to himself. He knew that Zhou Liren valued his opinion very much, even if he had never mentioned the reason, he would definitely remember it in his heart.
He didn't want Zhou Liren to strike up a good relationship with Boss Hu, but if they could become friends naturally, it would be best if they could become comrades on the same front.
He would definitely be able to help a lot in the future. This sort of stealthy intimacy was even more untraceable. This way, he would be able to stand as a team in the Politburo.
Zhou Hao had never worked in a government department before, but he had never eaten pork. At least, he had seen pigs run, and in his previous life, he had seen all kinds of politicians, so China was much better.
For example, in order to win over people from Mi Country and European countries, they had spoken everywhere, using all sorts of methods. Zhou Hao was very clear that this was only to give his own father a brief reminder, how could Zhou Hao not do what was useful to him in the future.
Other than this Big Brother Hu, who was highly valued by Zhou Hao, Zhou Hao did not really care about other people's calls. As for Zhao Family's calls, he just treated them as his foster father to call him, and it was completely unrelated to politics. It was not because the other party retreated.
Other than the calls from the bosses, Zhou Hao also received calls from his subordinates. The people from Polaris, Pluto, Hong Kong Investment Corporation, and even the Pluto branch of Macao all received calls.
Among them, Zhou Hao paid the most attention to the phone calls of the Xiao Family's father and son. One was his own senior brother, the other was his own junior nephew.
Other than these friends and his subordinates, the only other thing that Zhou Hao valued more was the congratulatory message which was even more official, but it also carried a lot of weight.
The first was Fourth Boss Yu Zhengyu, who was currently in charge of managing First Army. He could be considered a friend, and could be considered a representative for First Army, so he was grateful that Zhou Hao had always been helping him and his First Army. At the same time, he was definitely going to pay respects to Big Boss as well.
Other than First Army, there was another unit, which was the Special Operations Organization. The person who made the call was Chief Li, with the female director at the side.
Zhou Hao was currently a nominal instructor of the Special Operations Organization, and regardless of whether it was on the surface or personal terms, Zhou Hao had received a congratulatory gift from the Special Operations Organization. To his son, being able to have such a huge amount of face, even Zhou Liren had expressed that he was jealous of him, and he had never received such treatment before.
