Chapter 393 Curiosity

Su Nanzhi chatted with President Li for a while before getting up and leaving with Principal Ying.

After leaving the president's office, Principal Ying, who had been silent until now, spoke.

He said with emotion, "I finally understand why you didn't want to be a teacher."

Su Nanzhi raised her eyebrows, somewhat confused as to why Principal Ying suddenly expressed such emotion.

"You are really overqualified to be a teacher."

When Principal Ying said this, his tone was full of regret.

From the conversation between Su Nanzhi and Lao Li today, he realized that Su Nanzhi was a person who liked to make trouble. Compared with being a teacher, being a businessman might be more suitable for Su Nanzhi.

However, considering the current social atmosphere, Principal Ying finally said, "If you want to be a teacher in the future, you can come to me."

After all, he still valued talent. Although he felt that Su Nanzhi could not be a businessman, he did not speak out to stop her. After all, you have to hit your own wall.

Su Nanzhi quickly understood his thoughts. While she found it a little funny, a warm feeling passed through her heart.

"Principal Ying, I haven't thanked you for introducing me to President Li yet. How about I treat you to a meal?"

As the two were talking, they had already reached the door of the publishing house.

Principal Ying looked down at his watch and shook his head.

"I'll save the meal for next time. I have to catch the last bus back to Zhoushan County. I haven't been home for a few days, and I still have a lot of work waiting for me."

After saying that, he waved his hand, turned around and left.

Su Nanzhi did not try to persuade him to stay, thinking that at most she could go to Principal Ying's home to express her gratitude when she returned to Zhoushan County.

As soon as she turned around, she bumped into Huo Boyuan, who was smiling.

"What a coincidence, Miss Su."

Su Nanzhi's impression of Huo Boyuan was neither good nor bad. When she heard his words, she nodded in a friendly manner.

"Hello, Comrade Huo."

After saying hello, she wanted to leave, but Huo Boyuan stopped her again.

"Miss Su, are you planning to go back to the guesthouse? I happen to be planning to go back too."

Su Nanzhi:?

She narrowed her eyes, then thought of something and smiled, "That's quite a coincidence. We can go back together."

She was just looking for an opportunity to find out the details of Huo Boyuan and Miao Beibei.

"Oh, by the way, why isn't Miss Miao here?" Su Nanzhi asked casually, "Are you tired from visiting the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday?"

Huo Boyuan glanced at Su Nanzhi meaningfully, "I didn't expect Miss Su to care so much about my cousin."

"My cousin lost her temper yesterday, so I want to apologize to you on her behalf."

Of course, Su Nanzhi was very tolerant and generous and didn't care about it. After all, she was not the one who was cheated by buying hundreds of pairs of shoes yesterday.

"I didn't expect that you and Miss Miao have such a deep relationship. Even I, your only daughter, am a little envious."

Huo Boyuan's expression changed when he heard his only daughter's words.

In this day and age, it is very rare for a family to have only one child, let alone an only daughter.

"Miss Su, are you the only child in your family?"

Su Nanzhi nodded and said, "I have a bad fate. My parents died early, so I am the only one in the family."

After saying this, seeing Huo Boyuan's thoughtful expression, Su Nanzhi's eyes flashed quickly, and she turned and said, "Mr. Huo, Miss Miao said you are foreign-funded. I wonder what country you are from?"

Huo Boyuan was about to answer, but after seeing Su Nanzhi's expression, he immediately closed his mouth and showed a meaningful expression.

"The land on which the sun never sets."

Su Nanzhi laughed but did not ask any further questions.

She was sure that Huo Boyuan and Miao Beibei were from Hongcheng.

After all, many people in Hong Kong have dual citizenship. In this sensitive period, saying that you are from the country on which the sun never sets can avoid a lot of trouble.

"But Miss Su doesn't look like she's from the provincial capital?"

Huo Boyuan took the opportunity to ask his own question, "Where is Miss Su from?"

"Where do you think I'm from?"

Su Nanzhi did not answer, but asked a question in return.

Huo Boyuan was about to speak when a voice interrupted him.

"Nanzhi!"

I don’t know when Gu Xizhou walked up to them.

He glanced at Huo Boyuan, nodded at him, took the cloth bag from Su Nanzhi's hand, and said softly, "Are you tired? Let's go have lunch first."

Just as Su Nanzhi was about to nod, Huo Boyuan beside her spoke.

"I'm hungry too. I wonder if Miss Su and Mr. Gu would mind if I go to dinner with you."

Gu Xizhou frowned slightly and wanted to refuse him before Su Nanzhi spoke.

Su Nanzhi agreed immediately.

"sure."

Gu Xizhou looked at Su Nanzhi's cunning eyes and sighed helplessly in his heart.

It seems that Nanzhi also noticed that something was wrong with Huo Boyuan.

***

The three of them came to the state-owned restaurant. It was the peak lunch time and there were quite a few people in the restaurant.

However, the state-owned hotels in the provincial capital are large in size and have private rooms that are slightly more expensive for people to choose from.

Huo Boyuan chose the private room without any hesitation, and then ordered a lot of dishes with a wave of his hand.

"I don't know what you like, so I'll just order whatever you like."

Su Nanzhi naturally said a few polite words.

"I've known Comrade Su for so long, but I still don't know how old he is this year?"

Although Huo Boyuan is noble, he is flexible and has a very friendly attitude, even down to earth.

Su Nanzhi smiled and simply said, "I wonder how old Mr. Huo is? Your family is confident that you can go abroad to do business at such a young age?"

Huo Boyuan was taken aback by her alertness, then continued, "I'm 28 years old, not young anymore."

28 years old. A glint flashed in Su Nanzhi's eyes. "28 years old, so you are older than me."

As for how old she was, Su Nanzhi didn't say.

Huo Boyuan poured a glass of water for Su Nanzhi and said teasingly, "Miss Su, I wonder what your parents do for a living? I'm a little curious how they could raise such an intelligent woman like you."

This was the second time Huo Boyuan asked about Su Nanzhi's family situation. Su Nanzhi became more certain that Huo Boyuan was really looking for someone with a similar name to hers.

She was just about to take advantage of the situation.

Gu Xizhou, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"We are an ordinary family. We are either farmers or workers. I am curious about what industry Mr. Huo's family is engaged in."

Huo Boyuan looked at Gu Xizhou, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.

"Mr. Gu, I didn't realize you were so curious."

Gu Xizhou's expression was cold. "Since I was little, my family has always said that I'm very curious."

Huo Boyuan: ...

Su Nanzhi was also very curious about this. Although her business was developing well in her previous life, it was mainly concentrated in the mainland, and she didn't know much about the affairs in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Huo, if it's inconvenient for you to answer, you don't have to."

Su Nanzhi tried to smooth things over, but her tone was full of disappointment.

Huo Boyuan: ...This couple is really...
