Chapter 78: Single 78 Zhou Ci is tall and has long legs, and he is very...

When he got up in the morning, Song Yu went to take a look at the guest bedroom where Zhou Ci lived. The door was open, and the quilt was not wrinkled at all. It was clean and tidy as if no one had lived there.

When we took the elevator downstairs, Song's father and mother had already gotten up. Zhou Ci was with them. The three of them were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was just right.

"Are you up?" Mother Song looked up and said to Song Yu, then stood up from the sofa first. "Come and have breakfast."

Perhaps the mother-in-law was becoming more and more satisfied with her son-in-law, so Song's mother was particularly enthusiastic towards Zhou Ci: "Xiao Ci, come and sit down."

At the Chinese jade round table, Zhou Ci sat on Song Yu's left, while Song's father and mother sat opposite him.

The breakfast was rich, with both Chinese and Western dishes. Mother Song explained to Zhou Ci, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I prepared a little bit of everything. Xiaoci, see if you like it."

"Mom, there's no need to be so polite. I'll just eat the same as you guys next time. I'm not picky about food."

Mother?

Song Yu was drinking milk and almost choked when she heard this. She never knew Zhou Ci was so soft-spoken and he changed his words so smoothly.

Her eyes moved from Zhou Ci to Song's mother, and she saw that her own mother's face was smiling like a flower, which was nothing like the noble and rational lady of a wealthy family. Song Yu lowered her head, pinched the brown sugar bun in her hand, and took a bite silently.

After dinner, they went out to work together. Song Yu originally wanted to take her father's car to the company. She didn't think much about it. She just felt that since she and Zhou Ci were going to different companies by different routes, it would be more convenient to take her father's car.

However, Song's father, who usually wanted to carry her everywhere, waved his hand and said, "You can take Xiaoci's car. Dad doesn't want to go with you."

Song Yu asked in confusion, "Dad, aren't you going to the company?" There was a regular meeting that the chairman had to attend at nine o'clock in the morning.

Father Song made up an excuse: "Go, but before you go, you have to get something for your mother first."

Song Yu said "Oh", "No problem, then we'll go get it together and just be back for the meeting before nine o'clock." She was quite curious: "Dad, what are you getting for Mom? A gift? A surprise?"

Song's father had never thought his precious daughter was so unlucky. He said angrily, "No need. You can take Xiaoci's car. Dad will be back soon."

Song Yu was about to ask more, but Zhou Ci came over and pulled her: "Let's go! Dad has something to do, I'll take you to the company."

The two of them got into the car, and Zhou Ci chuckled softly.

Song Yu was fastening his seatbelt with his head down when he heard him laugh. He asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhou Ci started the car. "Nothing. I just think you're cute when you're silly sometimes."

Song Yu opened the car window to get some fresh air and replied, "Can I take your words as a compliment?"

Zhou Ci glanced at her sideways, and said with a smile: "Do you think I'm praising you?"

Song Yu leaned back in the car seat and said frankly: "I don't know, but I know you are in a good mood now."

Zhou Ci's eyes were deep and fiery, like a deep pool holding endless mysteries. His originally stern face seemed to soften. He asked happily, "Is it that obvious?"

The moment Song Yu met Zhou Ci's gaze, her eyes widened slightly, and her heart seemed to be gently struck by an invisible force. She couldn't explain the feeling at that moment, and she couldn't help but say: "Ah Ci, you look beautiful when you smile, you should smile more often."

Zhou Ci's lips were still curled up in a smile, and he said in a light tone: "I want to, but there is nothing in this world worth laughing at."

Song Yu didn't know what Zhou Ci was feeling, and he said this to her as if nothing had happened, "You've made a lot of money now, the Zhou Group is in your hands, and you've avenged your mother. Doesn't all this make you happy?"

"I can't deny that when I first saw Zhou Ting'an's miserable state, I was very happy, but that's all." Zhou Ci sneered, "It's quite boring."

Song Yu felt as if her heart was pricked by a needle, and it hurt so much. She said softly, "I will treat you well in the future."

"Be good to me?" Zhou Ci glanced sideways at Song Yu while stopping at the traffic light, his smile unclear. "How are you going to explain this to Han Jin? Will he misunderstand? Get jealous?"

"Actually..." Song Yu was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to tell Zhou Ci the truth.

"Actually?" Zhou Ci pressed, "Is Han Jin really your boyfriend?"

Song Yu made up his mind and blurted out, "It's fake, I'm lying to you. Han Jin is not my boyfriend. I have never been in a relationship with him." "Yeah!" Zhou Ci looked away expressionlessly. After a long while, Song Yu thought that the matter was over, and heard him say, "I know."

"You know?" Song Yu asked. Zhou Ci actually said he knew. She thought of the countless lies she had told to cover up this lie, and she had told them in front of Zhou Ci. She suddenly felt her face burning. Zhou Ci must be laughing at her in his heart. "How did you know?"

"Han Jin is with his agent." Zhou Ci turned right, steering on the side road. His face remained expressionless, but he said something startling: "I'm a shareholder of his agency, so I don't have to worry about anything."

Song Yu looked at him in shock, and after a long while he said, "Mr. Zhou is truly wealthy and has a wide range of interests. He has investments everywhere."

Zhou Ci gave her a funny look and said, "Did you misunderstand something? I invested because it's valuable, not because of you."

Song Yu smoothed the hair that had flown to the corner of his lips, closed the car window, and said with a smile: "I didn't say you were because of me."

Zhou Ci was defeated by Song Yu and stopped talking. He concentrated on driving. He was not driving fast, but even so, the Song family was right in front of him.

The car drove all the way to the Song family's gate. Song Yu loosened his seat belt and was about to open the door to get out when Zhou Ci asked from behind, "Do you have any plans for tonight?"

Song Yu took out his phone and looked at the memo. "Nothing, what happened?"

"Then I'll pick you up after get off work." Zhou Ci said, "Grandpa asked me to take you back to the Zhou residence for dinner."

"Okay!" Song Yu nodded.

After that, she punched in at work and prepared for the meeting. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink water. She had just returned to China and wanted to familiarize herself with the company's business as soon as possible. After work, she worked overtime when she got home.

After a two-hour meeting, he sorted out the meeting content and read a few documents. It was almost time for lunch, so Song Yu left the office and went to have lunch with his father.

The Song family has its own employee cafeteria, but under normal circumstances, Song's father and Song Yu will not appear in the cafeteria, so as to avoid the cafeteria manager being on high alert and employees being unable to relax and eat their meals in peace.

The father and daughter usually have lunch in Song's father's office. The meals are brought by Song's father's special assistant from the staff cafeteria. It is the tradition of the Song family that no matter how big or small the position is, everyone from the top to the bottom eats the same work meal.

"My daughter, please be more careful!" Father Song looked at Song Yu, who was stuffing rice into her mouth with a spoon while staring at the computer report and occasionally tapping on the keyboard. He shook his head and sighed: "When you were a teenager, I was worried that you would be taken advantage of by other people's pigs too early. Now, I am worried that you will never learn."

Song Yu looked at his father and asked, "Dad, what do you want to say?"

Father Song closed the laptop and said, "Eat well and take your time with the work. Why are you in such a hurry to get started?"

"Dad, you don't love me anymore." Song Yu complained, "You seem to dislike me. Am I not your good girl anymore?"

Song's father didn't buy it. He waved his hand generously and said, "You're already so old. Let Xiao Ci have the love he wants. I'll keep this for your mother."

"Hmph! Stingy dad." Song Yu glared at his father.

After trying to hold it in for a while, the worried old father couldn't help but ask, "Ru Ru, what's going on between you and Xiao Ci? You don't act like a couple in love."

Song Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with a smile, "Why not?"

"Something's wrong with you! Haven't you noticed? You're so far away from me, how can this be like being in a relationship?"

"Dad, you're worrying too much." Song Yu interjected, "We've just started dating, so isn't it normal for us to be a little relaxed? Besides, when young people are in love, don't compare us with your generation, okay?"

"Then don't focus on work all the time. I don't want my daughter to be a workaholic. If you have time, go out with Xiao Ci more often, have dinner or watch a movie. Dad is still in good health, so I can run the company for another ten years."

"I see. Isn't it because I'm not familiar with the company's business yet? Once I get used to the job and have time, can I go on a date with Zhou Ci every day?"

Song's father said with a smile: "You don't have to work every day. If you have this time, I'm afraid Xiao Ci doesn't have it. Don't just focus on work all day long. Just combine work and rest."

Song Yu made an "OK" gesture and said playfully, "As you wish! Director Song."

In the evening, Zhou Ci came to pick up Song Yu from get off work. When the call came, Song Yu was busy and didn't have his cell phone with him.

Zhou Ci called once but the call didn't go through, so he didn't call again. He got out of the car and walked into the Song family's gate.

Song employees were coming and going on the first floor. Zhou Ci was tall and had long legs, and his temperament was outstanding, making it hard to ignore him.

From top to bottom in the Song family, everyone knew him and his relationship with the eldest daughter. Even earlier, they knew that he was the famous Mr. Zhou in City B.

We are used to seeing him being serious when surrounded by people online, but this young CEO with a smile on his lips and light in his eyes looks like he came out of the second dimension, so handsome that it's dazzling.

The front desk manager quickly came forward and said, "Mr. Zhou, good afternoon."

Zhou Ci nodded at her and said gently, "Hello, I'm looking for your President Song."

It was rare to see such an approachable Mr. Zhou. The front desk manager led the way, "Okay, I'll take you upstairs."

Zhou Ci's visit caused quite a stir along the way. When Song Yu finished his work and returned to the office, he saw the missed call from Zhou Ci on his mobile phone. Just as he was about to call back, a small noise came from the large office outside.

Before Song Yu could figure out the situation, Zhou Ci had already walked all the way to the door of her office.

"Why are you here?" Song Yu went to greet him.

Zhou Ci smiled before he spoke: "Can I leave work now?"

Song Yu nodded: "Okay, I'll just pack my things and leave."

"Okay!" Zhou Ci sat down on the sofa in Song Yu's office.

Song Yu packed up his things quickly. Before his secretary could bring in a drink for Zhou Ci, Song Yu zipped up his briefcase and said to Zhou Ci, "I'm ready. I can leave now."

Zhou Ci took the briefcase from Song Yu, took her right hand, and led her outside.

Song Yu didn't want to appear too intimate with him in front of the employees, thinking it would have a bad influence. She struggled slightly, but Zhou Ci held her hand even tighter. Zhou Ci turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Song Yu smiled at him, "Let's go!"

As soon as the two left, the originally quiet office suddenly became lively. People like to listen to gossip, especially gossip about wealthy families like the boss's daughter.

"The eldest lady and Mr. Zhou are a perfect match."

"Of course not. The two of them standing together is simply a spring for those who love beauty."

"Rumors are indeed not to be believed. Looking at it today, Mr. Zhou doesn't seem that scary. He seems quite easy to talk to and likes to laugh."

"I feel like Mr. Zhou dotes on Miss. He helps Miss carry her bags and clothes and holds her hand all the way. What kind of fairy love is this?"

"You don't know, I was so worried a while ago, afraid that our company would go bankrupt like Shen's, and everyone would lose their jobs. The eldest lady is really amazing. She solved this problem as soon as she returned to China."

"Mr. Zhou dotes on his wife. He didn't take advantage of her at the critical moment and helped the young lady. This is true love without a doubt."

"They are childhood sweethearts who grew up together and have a deep bond."

"I heard Mr. Zhou had a miserable childhood. His mother died, and his biological father treated him very badly after marrying his mistress. Only our eldest daughter cared about him. This kind of relationship is rare."

"Our eldest daughter is truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and good-tempered. She doesn't have any of the bad habits of a third-generation rich person. She also works very hard. I often see her working overtime until very late."

"Yes, last time my son was sick, I wanted to take a few hours off to take him for injections, but my manager wouldn't approve it. The eldest daughter overheard us arguing, and it was she who approved my leave. She also said that everyone has difficulties, and working mothers have it tough. They have to do the laundry, cook, and take care of the kids at home, and earn money to support the family. As long as it's not a regular occurrence, I'll help if I can."

"Miss is really nice. I made a mistake in drafting a number in my last contract and Miss found out. I was scared to death, but Miss didn't scold me. She just told me to be more careful next time."

"The eldest lady is really nice. But that old pervert in the marketing department was always taking advantage of his position to sexually harass the female employees under him, trying to take advantage of them. When the eldest lady found out, she didn't care that he was a top salesperson and had many big clients, she fired him straight away."

"Yes, yes, yes, I know about this too. The eldest lady also said that her company doesn't tolerate gender bullying. If she finds out, she'll fire anyone who does."

"I was there when the young lady said this. She was so domineering. After that, those greasy men in the company who liked to make advances became more obedient."

"I really like the eldest daughter. She is rich, beautiful, capable at work, and has such an outstanding husband. She is so lucky."

"Miss, did you save the Jade Emperor in your previous life? You must have!"
