Chapter 6.06 Yes, we are best friends.

The resort is located in the mountains on the southern outskirts of Beijing. The weather has cooled down these past few days, and there is a significant temperature difference between day and night in the mountains. All the hot springs inside are now open.

Since it had just opened, the owner of the resort invited many people to come and visit.

Therefore, there are a lot of vehicles coming and going outside the resort.

As soon as Fu Yansheng's car stopped, the manager and his men came forward and took Lin Zhao and Fu Yansheng's suitcases off the car.

"President Fu, as per your request, we have moved your and Young Master Lin's room to a private courtyard. Please rest assured."

This was something Fu Yansheng had his assistant inform the resort about early in the morning.

The villa features an antique design, with garden corridors winding through bamboo groves and a nearby pond where several goldfish swim with the current.

As darkness fell on the mountain, fog began to spread.

It was already autumn and winter, and the temperature in the mountains was low, so Lin Zhao shivered when the wind blew.

The manager led Lin Zhao and Fu Yansheng to the entrance of the courtyard and told them that there were waiters nearby who would take them wherever they wanted to go.

The first thing Lin Zhao did upon entering the room was to take a coat out of her suitcase and wrap it around herself.

My body suddenly felt warm.

Lin Zhao wrapped her coat tighter, then looked up at Fu Yansheng beside her: "It's cold in the mountains, Brother Fu, why don't you change your clothes first before we go eat!"

Fu Yansheng glanced at his suit jacket, thought for a moment, took it off, and put on an overcoat.

While Fu Yansheng was changing clothes, Lin Zhao glanced at the two rooms in the suite. The two rooms were about the same size, and even the view outside was equally beautiful.

Lin Zhao was somewhat conflicted.

As an assistant, I should naturally give the best room to the boss.

But it didn't say that both rooms were the same!

I'll pick whoever's name is on my list!

After looking at both rooms, Lin Zhao finally chose the room on the left.

Put your luggage in the room on the left.

Looking back, Fu Yansheng had already changed his clothes, so I quickly went over and put Fu Yansheng's luggage back in the room and hung it up one by one.

Fu Yansheng watched Lin Zhao bustling around like a little bee.

So he followed behind Lin Zhao and handed her his clothes.

"Brother Fu, this is my job." Lin Zhao realized what was happening and noticed Fu Yansheng's actions.

She reached out to take the clothes from Fu Yansheng's hands.

What kind of assistant makes the boss do things for them?

Unexpectedly, Fu Yansheng bypassed Lin Zhao's hand as she reached for the clothes.

Fu Yansheng's arm brushed past Lin Zhao's ear. Lin Zhao was stunned by Fu Yansheng's action and subconsciously turned her head to find that Fu Yansheng directly reached into the wardrobe and took out a clothes hanger.

Lin Zhao realized what was happening and quickly moved aside to make room for Fu Yansheng.

Fu Yansheng acted as if he hadn't noticed Lin Zhao's actions and hung up the last piece of clothing.

He then turned to look at Lin Zhao and said softly, "Let's go. Didn't you say you were hungry in the car?"

Lin Zhao made two "oh" sounds, then raised her head, her voice slow but firm: "Brother Fu, I'm a paid assistant, I can handle this kind of thing."

Lin Zhao was still thinking that since he was a salaried employee, he should do his job well.

Instead of letting Brother Fu do it.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yansheng frowned: "But we are friends first and foremost, aren't we?"

Lin Zhao froze, afraid that Fu Yansheng would misunderstand, and wanted to explain: "We are friends, but..."

Fu Yansheng interrupted Lin Zhao, saying, "Since we're friends, it's only right that I help Zhao Zhao."

Fu Yansheng's cold expression softened slightly at Lin Zhao's words. He reached out and tidied Lin Zhao's slightly disheveled hair, tucking it behind her ear.

Lin Zhao's jade-like earlobes were fair and translucent. Before Lin Zhao could recover, Fu Yansheng lowered his eyes and looked at her intently.

As the fingertips withdrew, it was as if they had accidentally touched it lightly.

Lin Zhao felt a chill that didn't belong to the tips of her ears, and subconsciously looked at Fu Yansheng in front of her, who seemed to be doing nothing.

I subconsciously felt that the person in front of me had brushed past me by accident.

Fu Yansheng straightened his slightly disheveled sleeves.

He glanced at Lin Zhao in front of him, as if he could see the struggle in Lin Zhao's eyes.

Fu Yansheng lowered his eyes, his voice carrying a hint of unreadable emotion: "Zhaozhao once said that I was your best friend."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao, who had been struggling with this thought, suddenly remembered that she had indeed said this when she was a child.

Lin Zhao had no idea that Fu Yansheng would remember those words to this day.

Lin Zhao was deeply moved and quickly followed Fu Yansheng.

Under Fu Yansheng's gaze, Lin Zhao nodded emphatically, as if making a promise to the person in front of her: "Yes, we are best friends."

Even work can't hide the fact that we're good friends!

Regardless of whether he was the young master of the Lin family or not, Fu Yansheng regarded him as his best friend.

Lin Zhao would also regard Fu Yansheng as her best friend.

Fu Yansheng hummed in agreement.

Seeing Lin Zhao by his side, Fu Yansheng's usual lively demeanor returned, and even the coldness around him seemed to have lessened in the eyes of outsiders.

The man hurried over to Lin Zhao and Fu Yansheng, his eyes filled with joy as he looked at Fu Yansheng.

He never expected that Fu Yansheng would be willing to visit the resort. He had only sent Fu Yansheng the invitation on a whim.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yansheng actually came.

After all, Fu Yansheng's own villa is far superior to his.

"Mr. Fu, I'm so sorry. I was dealing with something and didn't get a chance to greet you right away. It's my fault."

Lin Zhao stopped immediately upon hearing the voice, looking curiously at the middle-aged man in front of her. Realizing that the man had come for Fu Yansheng, Lin Zhao silently glanced at Fu Yansheng beside her.

Waiting for Fu Yansheng's attitude.

Fu Yansheng simply nodded and hummed in response: "President Wu is busy, there's no need for you to come see me."

Mr. Wu was overjoyed that Fu Yansheng had actually answered him.

After all, this is Fu Yansheng. By establishing connections with him, his company might be able to have more cooperation with the Fu Group.

Mr. Wu was about to say something when he looked up and saw that Fu Yansheng's gaze was fixed on Lin Zhao.

The rumors in the industry have been going on for the past few days, and President Wu recognized Lin Zhao immediately.

The young master of the Lin family is now in an awkward position.

Although she wasn't publicly removed from the Lin family, almost everyone felt that Lin Zhao had been abandoned by the Lin family.

However, who would have thought that Fu Yansheng would bring Lin Zhao with him?

Although he lost the Lin family, he gained the support of the head of the Fu family, which has a more profound foundation than the Lin family. This young master Lin has really made a fortune.

"I didn't expect that the friend Mr. Fu mentioned would be Young Master Lin. There's a group of young people having a party in the courtyard next door right now. If Young Master Lin is interested, he can go and take a look. After all, young people's interests are always the same."

Mr. Wu enthusiastically recommended it, but his gaze was fixed on Fu Yansheng.

The gathering was just an excuse; the real purpose was to have a private conversation with the head of the Fu family.

Lin Zhao wasn't very interested in the party.

But she still fixed her gaze on Fu Yansheng, as if asking him a question.

"Let's go eat first. You knew you were coming to play, so you didn't eat much at noon."

Fu Yansheng's voice inevitably carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

But what he felt most was helplessness towards Lin Zhao.

As for what President Wu just said, Fu Yansheng apparently did not hear it.

Mr. Wu noticed Fu Yansheng's special feelings for Lin Zhao, and opened his mouth as if to say something.

Then Fu Yansheng regained his cold demeanor, turned his gaze away from Lin Zhao, and gestured slightly to him: "Excuse me, Mr. Wu, we'll be leaving now."

Fu Yansheng ignored President Wu's expression and naturally didn't notice that President Wu's expression suddenly turned cold.

Fu Yansheng is much younger than President Wu.

But he never expected that one day he would be defeated by a junior. However, even President Wu's backing was no match for the Fu family.

They could only swallow their anger.

Even Lin Zhao could ignore him.

Isn't he just a fake young master who was kicked out of the Lin family?

If it weren't for Fu Yansheng, they probably wouldn't have appeared in the public eye long ago.

Mr. Wu thought to himself.

Watching the two figures leave, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Fu Yansheng glanced at the waiter who was following them almost every step of the way.

With just one glance, the waiter understood Fu Yansheng's gaze.

Fu Yansheng did not need anyone to follow them.

But remembering Mr. Wu's arrangements, the waiter gritted his teeth and tried to follow, but he had only taken two steps.

Then they saw Fu Yansheng slow down, and when he was two steps behind Lin Zhao, he stopped and looked at the waiter with cold eyes.

The mountain mist was chilling, and the waiter felt as if he were being stared at by a wild beast for a moment. He was terrified and couldn't help but want to back away.

They waited until Fu Yansheng and Lin Zhao had both left.

That's when I came to my senses.

Only then did the waiter realize that his palms were soaked with sweat.

"Brother Fu, where's that waiter from earlier?" Lin Zhao turned around and realized that there were only the two of them in the corridor now.

"Maybe something's wrong," Fu Yansheng replied to Lin Zhao without batting an eye.

Lin Zhao responded with an "oh," her brows furrowed in confusion: "But I don't know the way..."

"I know him."

*

"I remember I just turned around from here?" Lin Zhao had only gone out to use the restroom, and when she turned around, she realized she didn't know the way.

The corridors were winding and interwoven. Lin Zhao frowned and looked around, trying to figure out which path he was more familiar with. However, after walking for a while, he found that the surrounding environment was becoming more and more unfamiliar.

To make matters worse, Lin Zhao had left her phone in the private room.

But there was nothing Lin Zhao could do but grit her teeth and keep going.

But as they walked, they discovered:

Before, we could hear the babbling of the stream, but as we walked further, there was no sound at all.

Lin Zhao became increasingly hesitant to continue. He was thinking that he might as well turn back and go through the whole process again, as long as he encountered someone.

Lin Zhao remembered the name of the private room.

"Zhaozhao?!"

The man's voice was clear and crisp, filled with surprise.

When Lin Zhao was called, his mind went blank for a moment, but he quickly recognized the familiar tone in the voice and turned to look at the person.

"Lü Yuanyuan?"

Lu Yuanyuan looked very well-behaved, with her eyes slightly lowered. In Lin Zhao's eyes, Lu Yuanyuan's personality was very similar to a Samoyed that Lin Zhao had seen before, obedient and enthusiastic.

Lin Zhao didn't see that Lü Yuanyuan's eyes had been fixed on him ever since she saw him.

Seeing familiar faces, Lin Zhao's heart settled down, and her eyes filled with anticipation: "Lu Yuanyuan, do you know which way to the Yuanshan private room?"

Hearing this, Lü Yuanyuan lowered her eyes slightly: "This is my first time here too, I don't even know the names very well. We're having a gathering next door, Zhao Zhao, why don't you come and play for a while?"

"Not now, Brother Fu is still waiting for me in the private room. I'm sorry, Yuan Yuan." Lin Zhao's eyes were filled with apology as she pursed her lips apologetically.

Lu Yuanyuan was not surprised at all that she was rejected.

He knew that in Lin Zhao's eyes, he was just an ordinary friend.

Lu Yuanyuan's tone was somewhat disappointed, her whole face looked pitiful, and even the way she spoke carried a hint of sadness:

"I haven't seen Zhao Zhao for a long time. Last time I sent her a message, she didn't reply."
