Chapter 22 Mr. Zhou, you have a great figure.
Before Zhou Shilin could react after Shen Feifei finished speaking, Tian Xu was so excited he almost jumped off his chair: "You're being too reckless, Ms. Shen! Even in the middle of summer, you can't go shirtless in public! It's so indecent!"
He knew it all along; whether it was Shen Feifei or Chen Ci, they were both lusting after their CEO's body. Now they weren't going to pretend anymore!
He will definitely defend their CEO's innocence!
Shen Feifei looked up at the indignant Tian Xu, paused for a moment, and then said, "I just wanted President Zhou to take off his coat, but Assistant Tian seems to want him to strip naked."
Tian Xu: "…………"
What are you doing, rebelling against the Heavenly Gang!
"President, that's not what I meant!" He'd seen people walking shirtless on the street when the car drove through the old neighborhood. He knew such people existed, especially in older neighborhoods like this, where they were utterly uninhibited. But how could their president be like that!
"I just think people who go shirtless in public have no manners!" After Tian Xu's resounding words fell, a man outside the door who was about to take off his shirt silently put his vest back on.
After listening to Tian Xu's words, Shen Feifei nodded in agreement: "You're right, I think so too."
Tian Xu: "..."
"So, Mr. Zhou, would you like to take off your suit jacket? It will be more convenient to eat later." Shen Feifei glanced at Zhou Shilin's suit. She didn't know much about clothes, but Zhou Shilin's suit looked very expensive. If it got dirty, the cleaning fee would probably be quite high.
Zhou Shilin nodded and began to unbutton his suit jacket. The black suit fabric was crisp and crisp, and as he moved, it slowly came off his body. He was about to drape the jacket over the back of the chair when Shen Feifei stopped him: "Wait."
She stood up from the chair, went to ask the golden retriever for a few disposable aprons, and quickly came back: "Put them on here."
She unfolded an apron and laid it on the back of the empty chair next to her before saying to Zhou Shilin, "All done."
Zhou Shilin looked at the apron she had specially laid out, then got up and draped his coat over it. After that, Shen Feifei unfolded a new apron and covered his suit like a blanket: "Hmm, this should prevent it from getting dirty easily."
The golden retriever next to her couldn't help but smirk as he watched her actions. Actually, their shop was quite clean. Although their boss wasn't highly educated, he was a clean freak.
However, it seems that Fei Fei's obsession with cleanliness is more severe now.
After finishing her work, Shen Feifei looked at Zhou Shilin's perfectly pressed white shirt and asked, "Do you need an apron? You can wear it."
"No need." Zhou Shilin slightly raised his hand, his thumb touching the edge of the shirt cuff, and gently twisted it to remove the silver button. After putting the two cufflinks into the pocket of his suit jacket, Zhou Shilin sat back in his chair, slowly rolling up his sleeves to reveal the smooth muscle lines on his forearms.
Unlike his usual aloof demeanor in a suit and tie, he now sat in the crayfish restaurant with his sleeves rolled up, exuding a more down-to-earth charm. Shen Feifei's gaze unconsciously fell on his bare forearms. Someone who always covered himself up so tightly, just by adding this little bit of skin, inexplicably stirred her heart.
Shen Feifei always felt that she was different from Shen Ci. She was not a lecherous person, but at this moment she couldn't help but look at Zhou Shilin... it must be because his arm muscles were too good-looking.
"Does Mr. Zhou exercise regularly?" Shen Feifei asked deliberately, as if trying to save face. Zhou Shilin nodded and replied, "I exercise for a little time every day; it's a way for me to relax."
Shen Feifei said, "No wonder you have such a great figure."
Tian Xu, who was standing next to her, immediately looked over. What did he say? She really was only focused on the CEO's figure!
As if sensing his gaze, Shen Feifei turned her head and looked at him as well: "Assistant Tian, do you also want to take off your coat?"
"...I don't want to." Tian Xu said he didn't want to, but after the crayfish they ordered were served, he still silently took off his coat and hung it on the back of his chair.
Chen Ci put on gloves and began peeling crayfish: "Eat it while it's hot. I highly recommend this garlic flavor. The broth is their exclusive recipe, and the garlic is also stir-fried with butter, giving it a slightly milky aroma."
Tian Xu didn't really like this restaurant at first, but the crayfish served were all plump and the shells were glistening with broth. Plus, the aroma was irresistible... He had to admit they were really tempting.
He put on gloves and peeled a crayfish that Shen Feifei had highly recommended, the garlic flavor. The crayfish meat was tender and bouncy, and as soon as he took a bite, he could taste the rich garlic aroma and the light milky flavor. Mixed with the salty and fragrant soup, it spread on the tip of his tongue and tasted much better than he had imagined.
Tian Xu was somewhat surprised. Over the years, he had eaten a lot of good food with Zhou Shilin, but he never expected to be able to taste such delicious food in such a small shop.
Seeing him peel one shrimp and then immediately grab a second, Shen Feifei said while peeling the shrimp, "See? I wasn't lying to you, was I?"
Tian Xu said, "You guys really know your stuff when it comes to food. No wonder people outside are waiting in line to get a table."
Shen Feifei then asked Zhou Shilin, "What does President Zhou think? Is it to your liking?"
Zhou Shilin nodded and said to her, "Yes, it tastes good, far exceeding my expectations."
"I'm glad you like it." Hearing Zhou Shilin say he liked it too, Shen Feifei felt relieved. The group was enjoying their meal when the blond-haired man, carrying several open bottles of soda, went to deliver food to a table near the door. As he passed Shen Feifei and the others, a man suddenly stood up and bumped into the plate the blond-haired man was carrying.
The soda bottle on the plate was knocked and flew directly towards Zhou Shilin. Shen Feifei braced herself against the edge of the table and quickly stood up in front of him, catching the flying soda bottle steadily with her right hand.
The golden retriever in front also steadied itself, preventing the other bottles of soda from falling.
Zhou Shilin stood up from the table and looked at Shen Feifei in front of him: "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Shen Feifei put the soda bottle back on the plate that the golden retriever was holding. There was only half a bottle of soda left, and some of the other half had spilled on the ground and on her.
Zhou Shilin looked down at her wet arms and pulled out a few tissues to wipe the soda off them.
"Wow, Feifei, that move you just made was so cool! You appeared in front of the table in a flash!" The blond guy walked up to Shen Feifei, looking at her with undisguised excitement. "Teach me sometime!"
Zhou Shilin turned his head to look at him, his slightly furrowed brows showing obvious displeasure: "You almost hit someone with your soda bottle just now. Shouldn't you be concerned about the guests' condition first?"
"Uh..." He thought Fei Fei was so skilled that she didn't need his concern at all. "Fei Fei, are you alright?"
"fine."
“But the clothes are dirty.” Zhou Shilin looked at the stain on her white T-shirt and said to the blond man, “Do you know that in this situation, the waiter is responsible for cleaning the customer’s clothes and paying for all the costs? In serious cases, you might be fired.”
Golden Retriever: "..."
It turns out that waiters in high-end restaurants live such a miserable life.
“It’s okay, my clothes aren’t worth much.” Shen Feifei said, glancing at Zhou Shilin’s dry shirt, and also gave the golden retriever a lecture, “But what President Zhou said makes sense. If it had been his clothes that got dirty today, this store might have gone out of business.”
She is the most qualified to speak on this matter.
Golden Retriever: "..."
I suggest you don't wear such expensive clothes out!
"Xiao Jin, where's the soda you got for us?" The customers outside started urging him. Jinmao responded, grabbed another bottle of soda, and quickly brought it to them.
Shen Feifei glanced at Zhou Shilin's hand on her arm, coughed lightly, and took the tissue from his hand: "I can do it myself."
"Hmm." Zhou Shilin released his hand and sat back down in the chair.
Tian Xu was stunned by Shen Feifei's actions, and only now did he come to his senses. He leaned over to Zhou Shilin and asked, "President, are you alright?"
Zhou Shilin shook his head. Shen Feifei wiped her arms clean and sat down in the chair. Zhou Shilin looked at the obvious water stain on her T-shirt and said, "Do you want to change your clothes? You must be uncomfortable wearing this."
"It's okay." Shen Feifei took out another tissue and wiped her clothes. "It's hot now, it'll dry quickly."
Zhou Shilin said, "The soda might be a bit sticky, and it's not easy to wash it completely clean."
"Luckily, I bought this T-shirt on sale, three for a hundred yuan." Shen Feifei said this with a hint of relief, "I have two more of the same one at home."
Zhou Shilin thought for a moment and said to her, "Let's go to the mall to buy some clothes after we finish eating."
"Oh? No need, no need."
"You got your clothes dirty because of me, so consider this my compensation to you."
Hmm... wasn't it supposed to be the Golden Retriever who should pay compensation?
To make up for his mistake, the golden retriever did indeed bring the three of them three bottles of soda, saying it was an apology.
When they first ordered the food, Tian Xu thought they wouldn't be able to finish it all. But now, looking at the several empty bowls on the table, he felt he had gained a better understanding of himself.
"Wait for me outside for a moment, I'm going to pay the bill." Shen Feifei stood up with her phone in hand and walked to the front desk. Gouwa followed her when he saw her preparing to leave.
"Sister Feifei, are you leaving already?"
"Hmm." Shen Feifei turned around and said to him, "Actually, there's something else I'd like to ask you for help with when I came here for dinner today."
Gouwa said, "Just tell us what you need, and we'll do whatever we can."
Shen Feifei lowered her voice and said to him, "It's like this, my friend Li Linrui, you know her too, right? She's being harassed by her ex-boyfriend, who's a thug who's not afraid of the police. So I think we should use thug methods to deal with thugs."
After listening, the blond-haired man who was paying her bill pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Feifei, do you mean we're thugs too?"
“…No.” Shen Feifei denied, “What I mean is, only magic can defeat magic.”
Gouwa said, "Don't worry, we can handle people like this."
Shen Feifei added, "You guys should also be careful, don't actually do anything, or he'll use it against you."
“Hey, Feifei, if you’re talking about this,” the blond guy gave a thumbs up and pointed to himself, “we’re the grandmasters.”
After Shen Feifei paid the bill and came out, Zhou Shilin was standing by the car waiting for her. He had put his suit jacket back on, and stood in the night bathed in moonlight; the lively atmosphere he had had in the store earlier had completely vanished.
Shen Feifei walked up to him and said, "Mr. Zhou, then we'll see you next time."
Zhou Shilin's gaze swept over the stains on her clothes, and he said unhurriedly, "Get in the car, let's go to the mall to buy clothes first."
Shen Feifei was taken aback. She thought he was just saying it casually: "Huh? You really want to buy it?"
Zhou Shilin checked the time: "The mall is still open; we should still make it in time."
"But..." Shen Feifei glanced at her motorcycle, which looked petite and delicate, parked next to Zhou Shilin's car. "What should I do with my motorcycle?"
Zhou Shilin's gaze naturally fell on the motorcycle. This was the same motorcycle that had rear-ended him before. He remembered that the motorcycle also had scratches, but it had been repaired now.
He thought for a moment, then turned to Tian Xu and instructed, "Tian Xu, call a motorcycle driver for her."
