Chapter 559 The Star-Plucker (Twenty-Six)
As soon as Shen Fanxing arrived at the residential area, she left her assistant behind and happily ran off to find Zhou Zhiyun.
She has a very good memory; she memorized the password after Zhou Zhiyun entered it only once.
I calmly entered the password and happily ran inside, where I saw Chef Zhou Zhiyun cleaning fish in the room.
Shen Fanxing was a little disappointed. She went over and hugged Zhou Zhiyun from behind: "You shouldn't be out of the bathroom with a towel around your waist and your upper body covered in water droplets."
Zhou Zhiyun was a little confused: "Why do we need to take a bath now?"
Shen Fanxing chuckled and affectionately rubbed her cheek against his back: "That's how it's written in novels and TV dramas."
Zhou Zhiyun laughed and said, "Slow down, my hands are covered in fish scales, be careful not to get them on you."
Shen Fanxing didn't let go, and leaned over to take a look: "When you bought the fish, weren't they supposed to kill it for you? Why did you kill it yourself?"
Looking at the bright red fish in Zhou Zhiyun's hand, he exclaimed, "Good heavens, it's a grouper!"
Zhou Zhiyun smiled and said, "I just went to my uncle's house. Someone was giving him some seafood, so I brought some back with me."
When he arrived, Shang Xingzhou happened to be home, and all the seafood was air-freighted in.
Shang Xingzhou gave him half to take home, and he also asked his uncle for an extra fish and a few orchid crabs, since he didn't know how to cook anything else.
Just steam these two when you get back.
Shang Xingzhou was quite puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He packed another portion for Zhou Zhiyun, delivered the seafood home, and then brought back fish and crabs, also buying some vegetables at the market.
Shen Fanxing exclaimed, "I really can't believe you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth."
Zhou Zhiyun had never steamed fish before, so his aunt wrote down the steps for steaming fish on a piece of paper, and he is now following the steps one by one.
Shen Fanxing sat on the edge of the island counter, propping her chin up and smiling as she looked at Zhou Zhiyun's serious expression: "Zhou Zhiyun, I must have accumulated luck for several lifetimes to meet you. How can you be so wonderful?"
Zhou Zhiyun blushed at her praise and leaned down to kiss her: "You, you have such a silver tongue."
Shen Fanxing chuckled and said, "I'm telling the truth."
Just now, when she guessed that it might bring disaster to Zhou Zhiyun, her first thought was not to leave him.
Instead, she thought she could resolve it; she didn't want to act like those melodramatic characters, pretending that encountering danger was for his own good and that she wanted to leave him.
If she can't resolve it, she can bring misfortune upon herself.
No one could stop her from being happy with Zhou Zhiyun.
Following Su Li's instructions, Zhou Zhiyun successfully replicated the steamed fish and steamed crab, and also stir-fried water spinach and braised sea cucumber with scallions.
Shen Fanxing kept praising, "Zhou Zhiyun, you are really amazing. This is even better than what you get in a big restaurant."
He clapped his hands and said, "No, such good food can't be served without wine. Do you have any wine at home?"
Zhou Zhiyun shook her head: "No..."
Shen Fanxing happily took out her phone: "I'll have Xiaoxiao bring us a bottle of red wine."
Seeing the cunning look in Shen Fanxing's eyes, Zhou Zhiyun reached out to stop her: "Although I'm on vacation, I'm still on standby and may receive a mission call at any time, so I can't drink."
Shen Fanxing's little plan failed, and she was somewhat disappointed: "So, are you going back anytime?"
Zhou Zhiyun was unsure: "It's hard to say. If a major emergency occurs, we'll have to go back."
Shen Fanxing sighed: "Alright then, Zhou Zhiyun, why did you join the army?"
Zhou Zhiyun thought for a moment: "It must be due to family influence."
Shen Fanxing nodded repeatedly: "I like it!"
She admires Zhou Zhiyun's spirited and energetic demeanor.
While eating, Zhou Zhiyun discussed with Shen Fanxing again: "My mom said she'll take you home for a family dinner this weekend."
Shen Fanxing was taken aback: "A lot of people?"
Zhou Zhiyun thought about her family and realized she had quite a few relatives: "These are all my mother's relatives, my maternal grandparents, my uncle's family, my great-aunt, and my uncle Simin's family."
Then he introduced everyone to Shen Fanxing.
Shen Fanxing was surprised once again. Besides Shang Xingzhou, who was very good at doing business, Zhou Zhiyun's other relatives were also very capable.
"I'll get my hair and makeup done properly later, and go looking beautiful."
Zhou Zhiyun picked out the crab meat and handed it to Shen Fanxing: "No need, you're already very beautiful."
Shen Fanxing chuckled, then turned and kissed Zhou Zhiyun: "Let me taste it. What did you eat? Your mouth is so sweet."
Zhou Zhiyun: "..."
The two finished their meal laughing and joking, and then went to wash the dishes together.
Shen Fanxing really liked this feeling; it was probably what home felt like.
Although she never experienced hardship growing up, she also never felt the warmth of family and had to become independent at a very young age.
I'm used to being alone, and sometimes I don't consider other people's feelings, so I don't even have any friends.
After washing the dishes, the two snuggled up on the sofa to watch TV.
Shen Fanxing discovered that being with someone she liked, even doing nothing but daydreaming, brought her happiness and joy.
Her entire brain is practically filled with romantic thoughts.
...
For dinner, Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye took Shang Shang to Shang Xingzhou's house for a meal.
She was too lazy to clean the seafood that was delivered to her home, so she gave it to Li Simin, and they came over for dinner.
Shang Xingzhou and Su Li have a son who is pursuing a doctorate at a military academy. Usually, it's just the two of them at home.
During the meal, Zhou Zhiyun and Shen Fanxing were mentioned.
Shang Xingzhou and Su Li both thought it was a good idea, and Jiang Zhizhi then brought up the acquisition of the film and television company where Shen Fanxing worked.
Shangxingzhou's business also involves film and television media, so acquiring a company wouldn't be a problem.
Given Shen Fanxing's personality, is she capable of managing a company well?
Jiang Zhizhi had already thought it through: "When the time comes, I'll hire a professional manager to run her business, and she can do what she wants to do."
“I also had someone investigate Fanxing. Over the years, they have been donating money to charity, building many schools in the Yunnan-Guizhou area, and helping children get out of the mountains.”
"She herself is still renting an apartment in Beijing. She is a good girl who likes money but is also indifferent to worldly affairs."
"So, I want you to give this company to Fanxing as her dowry. As for the betrothal gifts, I want to buy Fanxing a courtyard house and put it in her name."
Su Li laughed: "Sister, this is really generous of you."
Jiang Zhizhi said helplessly, "We definitely can't own such a property. Fanxing is a good fit, and the rooms are still inexpensive now, but they will skyrocket in a few years."
Following Jiang Zhizhi's advice, Shang Xingzhou bought many courtyard houses in Beijing: "Just pick one from my collection for Fanxing."
Shang Shang chuckled: "Uncle, that's what my mom thinks too. You've bought up all the good courtyard houses near the Second Ring Road in Beijing."
Su Li had no problem at all: "I didn't expect that Zhiyun would be getting married in the blink of an eye. What about Shangshang?"
Shang Shang immediately shook her head: "I'm not in a hurry. I'll think about it when I meet someone I like."
