Sophie in the Time of Secrets Chapter 61

The winter that year seemed particularly long, with heavy snow. It was only a few days away from the New Year. However, the whole city was in a state of subtle tension. Whether it was in the newspapers or on the radio, everyone from the dignitaries to the common people knew that the war was about to start. Fortunately, the attack was not coming here, but it was too close, and no one knew when the cannon would sound.

But most people were hoping that maybe the war would end there and not spread here. Of course, these hopes did not include the hearts of the military families, who only prayed timidly for their men or children to be safe, and kept burning incense and praying to Buddha. The closer the time of departure, the more reluctant they were to leave.

Before Adrian Zhou recovered, Caleb Zhou and his eldest brother's assistant Xiao Fu basically inspected the Zhou family's shop. Xiao Fu himself was taciturn, but the suggestions he gave were very to the point. When he first took over, Caleb Zhou was not familiar with it, but he got started faster than anyone expected. In the evening, when Xiao Fu went to see the eldest son of the Zhou family, he also mentioned this matter.

At that time, Adrian Zhou was leaning against the bed, playing with a hand warmer. When he heard his subordinates praising Caleb Zhou in a subtle way, he nodded and chuckled. That was an emotion he had never shown in front of Caleb Zhou. He was proud of his younger brother. Adrian Zhou said in agreement: "He has been smart since he was young, and he has never lost to others when he was studying."

Xiao Fu was a little surprised. He thought that the relationship between the two brothers was not bad, but definitely not good. The reason why Zhou Da Shao let Zhou Er Shao get involved in the business this time was just a helpless move. When Zhou Da Shao gets better, he will take it back completely. But he never thought that Adrian Zhou had this attitude and was even happy to let Caleb Zhou get involved in the Zhou family's business.
