Chapter 85 Classmates

"Mr. Zhou?"

The person who came down with Zhou Mingshi shouted.

Zhou Mingshi then turned around with Lin Yi'an and introduced her to them: "This is my wife, Lin Yi'an."

"This is Mr. Chen Shaochen from Gangcheng Global Intermodal Transport."

Lin Yi'an extended her hand: "Hello, Mr. Chen."

Mr. Chen also extended his hand and smiled, saying, "Hello, Ms. Lin."

"Mingshi, is this your wife?" After the two shook hands, the person standing next to them couldn't wait to come over.

Lin Yi'an looked at him.

Zhou Mingshi smiled and introduced it to her.

"This is my classmate from when I was studying abroad, Antoine de Belleré from France."

"This is my wife, Lin Yi-an."

Lin Yi'an extended her hand again: "Hello, Mr. Bellair."

"Hello, Lin Yi'an!" Beller smiled and took her hand, preparing to give her a kiss, when Zhou Mingshi raised his hand and grasped Lin Yi'an's wrist, saying calmly, "It's lunchtime. Secretary Shen has booked a hotel, so let's go to the hotel for lunch first."

The hand-kissing gesture failed, and Belair said with dissatisfaction, "Your action makes me feel like a man who doesn't know any gentlemanly manners."

Zhou Mingshi said without changing his expression, "Since you like Chinese culture, you should have learned the phrase 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'."

Mr. Chen chuckled from the side, saying, "We Chinese always greet each other with a handshake in social situations."

Belair: "Okay."

Lin Yi'an stood to the side with a slight smile, without interrupting.

Looking at her, Belair couldn't help but say, "Mingshi, your wife is the most classically beautiful girl I've ever seen."

Zhou Mingshi put his arm around Lin Yi'an's shoulder, glanced at him, and said, "Let's go eat first."

Belair: "I want to eat Chinese food."

Zhou Mingshi: "When you come to our country, you naturally eat Chinese food."

As they walked out of the Zhou Group building, Zhou Mingshi said to Secretary Shen, "You drive my car and take them ahead. I'll ride in Madam's car."

Secretary Shen: "Yes, Mr. Zhou."

After they left, the receptionist breathed a sigh of relief and said to the older receptionist next to her, "Madam seems to have a very gentle temperament. I hope I won't be treated unfairly."

The older receptionist said, "You're still too young and like to overthink things. If you follow the rules, even if she's unhappy, she won't say anything."

The receptionist was relieved: "I never expected Mr. Zhou's wife to look like this. Although she's not a stunning beauty, she has a very pleasant aura that's instantly appealing. I feel embarrassed to speak too loudly to her, as it would make me seem rude..."

The receptionist, who was a few years older, said, "The Lin family's daughter can't be too bad."

The receptionist's eyes sparkled: "Did you just see that? As soon as Mr. Zhou saw his wife, he rushed over, holding her hand and touching her face. When the French guest tried to kiss her hand, Mr. Zhou grabbed his wife's arm—oh my god..."

The older receptionist couldn't help but say, "Shut up! It's lunch break. If the secretaries in the secretarial office hear you gossiping about President Zhou, it might reach his ears. Even if you don't get into trouble with Madam, others will."

The receptionist immediately made a shushing gesture, but she couldn't suppress her gossipy heart. She had joined the Zhou Group right after graduation and had been working as a receptionist for several years. Apart from work, she had never encountered any female friends who came to see President Zhou.

Unlike other rich kids, Mr. Zhou's news, including his scandals, is rarely seen online.

I'd never even heard of a girlfriend. I never imagined that someone as calm and self-controlled as him would be so emotionally expressive after marrying a wife.

Once inside the car, Zhou Mingshi said to Lin Yi'an, "This afternoon, Father will come to the company to sign the share transfer agreement first."

Lin Yi'an asked him, "Did you ask me to come here to sign a contract?"

Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "Signing the contract is secondary. My main wish was to have a meal with my wife. I didn't expect them to arrive early."

Lin Yi'an: "Mm."

Zhou Mingshi held her hand: "Tonight, shall we go back to Lanting Yazhu or the old house?"

"Lanting Elegant Residence," Lin Yi'an said gently, "It's been a while, let's go check on the medicinal herbs."

Zhou Mingshi nodded: "Wang Ma is in Changping, should we send Liu Ma over?"

Aunt Liu was the chef at his villa, and her cooking style was similar to Aunt Wang's.

Lin Yi'an: "She doesn't have the key. Tell her to come over tomorrow afternoon."

Zhou Mingshi: "Okay."

Two cars arrived at the hotel one after the other, and the group went into the private room, where dishes were served one after another.

Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "Let's eat."

After he finished speaking, he first served Lin Yi'an a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her.

Lin Yi'an picked up her bowl, sat quietly to the side to eat, and listened silently to their conversation.

After the meal, the group came out of the private room and had just reached the hotel lobby when they heard a series of exclamations from ahead.

Secretary Shen, standing beside him, craned her neck to look ahead and asked, "It looks like someone has fainted?"

The group walked forward.

Bai Zhirong burst into tears. She and her mother had gone shopping together and were about to go into a hotel for dinner when her mother suddenly fainted.

She knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and cried out, "Mom, Mom, wake up! Please come and save my mom!"

Such hotels usually have medical staff on staff. It was midday, and the hotel was quite busy, so the medical staff on duty were not available.

Bai Zhirong spotted Lin Yi'an immediately and exclaimed with delight, "Lin Yi'an, aren't you a doctor? Can you take a look at my mother?"

Lin Yi'an stepped forward, squatted down, and examined her: "Does your mother have any heart or stroke-related illnesses? Are her blood pressure and blood sugar levels normal?"

Bai Zhirong said anxiously, "Don't ask anymore, just save my mother!"

Lin Yi'an said coldly, "I need to find out why she fainted before I can save her. You are her daughter, and you should know her situation. If you really care about your mother, then talk to me properly."

Bai Zhirong's face stiffened, and she suppressed her temper as she said, "She has low blood sugar."

Lin Yi'an lowered her head, feeling her pulse with one hand and placing the other under her nose; she could feel her breath flowing...

She said, "She is still conscious."

After saying that, he reached out to unbutton her collar...

Bai Zhirong stepped forward to stop her: "What are you doing?"

Lin Yi-an: "Your clothes are too tight. Take them off so the air can circulate."

Zhou Mingshi said coldly, "If you don't want to save your mother, just say so."

Bai Zhirong's face paled slightly.

Just then, the hotel's medical staff arrived. Lin Yi'an told them about the situation, and they quickly took over the work and began treating Bai's mother.

After replenishing her sugar levels, Bai's mother woke up before Lin Yi'an and the others left.

Watching their retreating figures, Bai's mother turned to her daughter and said, "I was feeling groggy just now, and although my reactions were slow, I could still hear your voices. You're too impulsive and panic easily. I can understand why Zhou Mingshi married the third young lady of the Lin family."

Bai Zhirong pursed her lips: "Mom, will you say nice things about her too?"

Mother Bai: "She's low-key and unassuming, and calm and collected in the face of adversity. Only a daughter-in-law like that can handle things..."

At this point, she sighed, "Your father and I have spoiled you too much."

Bai Zhirong remained silent.

Bai's mother: "After we get back, your father and I will come to thank you."

Bai Zhirong was unhappy: "She didn't help at all..."

Bai's mother gave her a cold look: "Whether they helped or not, I fainted on the ground and they didn't stand idly by. That's helping. Is that how I've always taught you?"

Bai Zhirong felt extremely wronged. She had never been scolded by her mother like this before. She lowered her head and said, "I understand."
