Chapter 441: Roses

The grand hall, with its understated luxury, was brightly lit, and the hanging crystal chandeliers were both luminous and unique, making the noise of people around them slightly more noticeable.

"Ms. Zhou, someone has delivered flowers to you!"

The waiter, carrying a large bouquet of roses, kept asking around until he finally knocked on the door of the private room: "Which one of you is Ms. Zhou?"

Zhou Yun was talking to a few of the younger employees around him when he heard the voice and looked towards the door. His tone was calm, but he was still somewhat uncertain. "It's me. What's the matter?"

"Ms. Zhou, these are roses for you. She specifically asked me to bring them in."

Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment, and the young people around her immediately started laughing and teasing: "Oh my, even though Qixi Festival is over, you're still sending roses. Sister Yun's husband is really something, even though he can't come to the party, he still doesn't forget to give us a dose of PDA."

"What do you know? As long as you're romantic, every day can be Qixi Festival, okay?"

“I don’t expect to find someone exactly like Sister Zhou’s husband; I’d be happy if he looked even half as similar.”

Zhou Yun put down her wine glass, stood up, took the bouquet of roses from the waiter, and smiled broadly: "It's not as good as you all say, it's just average."

In public, this is a topic that easily resonates and sparks discussion; a group of women, upon hearing her say this, immediately slapped their thighs and began to complain.

As the saying goes, there's no harm without comparison. She went on and on, praising Zhou Yun's career, family, and children in every aspect. Zhou Yun couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Yuan Siyin withdrew her gaze, casually picked up two servings of almond pudding from the self-service area, and gracefully returned to table number 6 to sit down.

Just as she put down the delicate little plate in her hand, she noticed a plate of Wagyu sirloin sprinkled with pepper on the table, along with a lettuce platter.

The pepper and lettuce perfectly captured the flavors she disliked.

Although she could order dishes prepared by the hotel's chef in addition to those from the self-service area, she didn't order anything extra.

Could it be that Sheng Fengqiu is in full bloom?

Yuan Siyin ground her back teeth hard.

Well, consider it payment for helping out. I've already ordered, so I might as well eat it.

She moved the plate in front of her and had just used her knife and fork to push the pepper aside when she saw the door to the last private room slowly open. A middle-aged woman walked out and paced back and forth, seemingly on the phone.

She put down her knife and fork, not caring about anything else, and quickly tidied her hair before picking up her bag and walking towards her.

Zhou Yun had just hung up the phone with a frown when he saw someone stop in front of him.

They are clearly long, narrow, and very charismatic phoenix eyes, but when the corners of their eyes curve slightly in a smile, they possess a unique, youthful brightness.

Zhou Yun crossed his arms, understanding the situation, and called out her name: "Yuan Siyin, Director Yuan, it's been a long time."

Yuan Siyin chuckled lightly, "President Zhou, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to have such a good memory. You still remember who I am after only meeting me once."

"Unlike Director Yuan, the timing of these flowers today is quite opportune." Zhou Yun glanced inside without leaving a trace.

"Of course, if you want to cooperate, you have to show a cooperative attitude. Since President Zhou didn't accept the gifts we sent you before, we had no choice but to resort to this."

"How do you know I'll accept this gift? What if I don't?" Zhou Yun asked the young woman in front of him, who could be considered young in the workplace, with great interest.

Yuan Siyin was not intimidated at all, and smiled calmly like a well-bred young lady, "You will accept it."
