Seeing an opportunity, Fu Jue said, "Shall I put this on for you? Let's see if it fits?"

Tao Zhizhi waved her hand: "No, no need, I can do it myself."

As she spoke, she opened the box, gently took out the necklace, and fastened the small button behind her neck.

However, the clasp on the necklace was very small, and a minute passed without her fastening it. In addition, she hadn't tied her hair up when she went downstairs, and her long, flowing hair kept getting in her way.

Seeing that she had fixed her hair several times during that time, Fu Jue smiled indulgently, walked behind her, and took the button from her with both hands:

"Let me do it, okay?"

Tao Zhizhi didn't even have time to refuse; in the blink of an eye, he had already buttoned her up, and the tingling sensation of their fingers touching hadn't even had time to dissipate.

Fu Jue returned to his seat, carefully examining the other person, his gentle gaze striking her heart:

"very beautiful."

"You have excellent taste."

Tao Zhizhi smiled happily, her eyes crinkling, and looked at her phone. A bright gold necklace adorned her fair and slender neck.

Fu Jue watched her with a smile, his eyes fixed straight ahead, as she stroked the chain on her collarbone.

"Does Zhizhi have any other plans for today?"

The man's magnetic voice entered her ears, and Tao Zhizhi's undisguised joy permeated her lighthearted tone:

"Yes, yes, our shop will be opening for late-night snacks tomorrow, and we're still testing it out today!"

Fu Jue pursed his lips regretfully, his eyebrows drooping, his voice filled with disappointment:

"Okay then, don't overwork yourself. If you need me, you can call me."

He raised his right hand, made a six, and waved it at his jawline, revealing an expectant expression.

Tao Zhizhi didn't seem to want to leave either, as she was very happy when she was with him. However, considering her unique experimental methods, she resolutely said goodbye to him.

First day of operating late-night snack business

Tao Zhizhi stated in the takeout notice that the lunch service would be suspended and that the business would resume after dinner. She also notified the employees to come to the store to work in the afternoon.

——

"Yun'er, Dad has a document. Could you go to Tianyi for me?"

The director helplessly instructed his daughter to come to the company in the afternoon to subtly inquire about Fu Chao's whereabouts.

He simply couldn't stand her incessant chatter, and the fact that she kept mentioning her "Brother Fu" was driving him crazy.

"Oh~ then you must tell me if you know anything about him."

Zhiyun pouted her red lips, looking unwilling because she hadn't heard any good news, but she still had to complete the task her father had given her.

Zhiyun was driving slowly along the road when a nanny van passed by in front of her.

Fu Chao was gazing out the window, lost in thought, when for a fleeting moment he saw a familiar face, and his breath caught in his throat.

His eyes held three parts disbelief and seven parts longing as he covered his heart, which was pounding with helplessness for her.

Fu Chao chuckled self-deprecatingly: [Am I still missing her too much? Everyone I see looks like her.]

Zhiyun waited for the red light with a clear mind, only wanting to finish her task and go home as soon as possible, completely unaware that the figure she missed most had already passed by her.

Zhiyun, carrying the documents, walked unimpeded through Tianyi Group and went straight into Fu Jue's office.

"Long time no see, Fu Jue!"

Fu Jue slightly raised his eyes, and seeing that the person who came was familiar, his usually aloof attitude softened somewhat:

"You went back to China? When did that happen?"

Congratulations on finally graduating!

Fu Jue took the document she tossed to him, carefully checked that there were no problems, and then signed it.

"Of course, what are you doing—"

"It seems they've already given in to Uncle Fu."

"Speak quickly, I have something to do in a bit."

Zhiyun didn't keep us in suspense:

"You know who I want to ask."

Fu Jue, upon hearing this, also spoke with some uncertainty: "Fu Chao is currently filming, but I don't know exactly where."

Fu Jue raised his watch, estimated the time, picked up his coat, and made a move to leave.

"If you really want to know, go ask him yourself."

Zhiyun sighed and said self-deprecatingly:

"If I had the courage, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble."

"One is stubborn enough, the other is inflexible enough; aren't you tired after all these years?"

Fu Jue shook his head speechlessly, and the two of them came out of the office together.

Zhiyun knew Fu Jue fairly well, and seeing his somewhat hurried pace, she was extremely curious.

"Are you leaving early?"

"No, switch to online."

Seeing that Fu Jue didn't seem to want to talk to her, Zhiyun wisely kept quiet.

Fu Jue was about to go down to the garage to get her car, but Zhi Yun left on the first floor. As she passed the front desk, she smelled the aroma of food, and she guessed it was spicy crayfish.

It's almost October, and she hasn't had crayfish in ages. Zhiyun's strides forward came to a halt, and she slowly moved backward.

Following the aroma, I found two girls eating a plate of crayfish.

She cleared her throat and asked politely:

"Hello, which restaurant sold your crayfish? Could you tell me?"

The two were engrossed in a sea of ​​delicious food when a stunningly beautiful woman suddenly appeared, startling Xiao Chen so much that he choked on the chili peppers and coughed uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Zhiyun panicked a little, took out a tissue and handed it to her. After she calmed down, she immediately replied in a hoarse voice:

"This is a new product from the Warm Food Shop, and it will be available starting at dinner time."

After Zhiyun got the specific address, she handed her the water she had opened and told her to eat slowly.

She missed that taste so much that it made her stomach rumble, and she stopped thinking about the man. She turned on her navigation and headed straight for the warm food stall.

Soon after, Fu Jue entered the warm food stall and saw Tao Zhizhi and Su Bai setting up a barbecue grill, while the deliveryman carried two hands full of takeout orders out the door.

Tao Zhizhi watched as Fu Jue strolled leisurely to her side, took the tools, and installed the frame.

Tao Zhizhi crossed her arms, puffing out her cheeks with an unhappy expression:

"Fu Jue, you're late! Your salary will be docked!"

He glanced guiltily at Tao Zhizhi's puffed-out cheeks and made a wronged little expression:

"Zhizhi, I was wrong."

"No way, I can't let you off this time."

Tao Zhizhi looked around and saw Yang Ping, who was busy cleaning shrimp and skewering them. She then asked Fu Jue to handle the ingredients and reduce Yang Ping's workload. She also asked him to help Su Bai take care of the guests and assist her.

Fu Jue listened to her constant commands with a doting expression and obediently ran around.

Tao Zhizhi nodded happily, quite satisfied with his performance.

When Zhiyun arrived at the shop, she saw Fu Jue being summoned to the main hall, and she watched him thoughtfully for a while.

She actually managed to get Young Master Fu to serve her, and the mockery in her eyes was impossible to hide. When Fu Jue reached the table, she sneered:

"Tianyi is opening up a new industry and venturing into the catering industry. Uncle Fu actually made your young master Fu come out to work?"

Tao Zhizhi felt the kitchen was too hot, so she came out to check on the situation in the store. Fu Jue gritted his teeth and gave her a threatening smile, signaling her not to say anything out of line.

Zhiyun didn't know what Fu Jue was doing, and since she was sitting close to the kitchen, Tao Zhizhi, who came out, still heard her, even though she wasn't making much noise.
