Lu Youxi felt extremely guilty, so he just snorted, turned away, and ignored Zhou Shuyan.

This man actually knows how to make fun of her now.

Seeing that she ignored him, Zhou Shuyan was not in a hurry, and just slowly explained, "You may not have taken the time to look carefully at your colleague that night, so you didn't recognize him during the interview."

Sure enough, Lu Youxi didn't care about being embarrassed at this moment, and immediately turned to look at Zhou Shuyan, "Is there anyone from that night during the interview? Who is it?"

Lu Youxi thought for a moment, "Could it be Shen Yanqing?"

Seeing Zhou Shuyan nod, Lu Youxi suddenly realized, "No wonder he looked familiar to me today, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him. And I was concentrating on the interview and was a little nervous, so I didn't have time to think about it carefully."

"He saw you today, recognized you, and came to tell me." Zhou Shuyan nodded.

"That won't have a bad influence on you, right?" Lu Youxi said immediately, "Is he going to question you, or..."

"Don't be nervous." Zhou Shuyan held Lu Youxi's hand and asked her to relax. "Our company is not that unkind."

"Besides..." Zhou Shuyan originally wanted to follow Lu Youxi's words and say that he was just an ordinary employee and could not reveal any useful information.

But when the words came to his lips, he took them back.

He had already lied to Lu Youxi a lot, and since he had decided to find a good opportunity to confess to her, he didn't want to lie to her anymore.

Then we cannot let the lies accumulate.

Zhou Shuyan changed his words again, "Besides, we have a good relationship, and he didn't come to question me. He just came to tell me happily and surprised that he didn't expect you to participate in our company's support plan."

"Besides, we are not from the same department and are not involved in this matter." Zhou Shuyan thought that this should not be considered a lie.

He just wanted a final result. As for how Chengzhou Technology chose and discussed it, and which teams were finally selected, he did not interfere.

Even if the final decision is not to approve Lu Youxi's team's design, he will not interfere.

"It won't play any decisive role in this selection." Zhou Shuyan said, "So even if the company knows about our relationship, it won't have any impact on me, don't worry."

"However, your consideration is not unreasonable." Zhou Shuyan said again.

Lu Youxi thought to himself, doesn’t it have no effect on him?

Then Zhou Shuyan said, "It has no impact on me. Everyone in our company knows that we are impartial and will not give preferential treatment to anyone. But outsiders may not know this, especially the team competing with you for the support plan. Regardless of whether you are selected or not, if they know that you have someone in Chengzhou, they will inevitably think a little more."

The corner of Lu Youxi's mouth twitched.

Although Zhou Shuyan did work in Chengzhou.

But it is a bit exaggerated to say that she has someone in Chengzhou.

"You were obviously selected based on your own abilities, and our colleague in Chengzhou who is in charge of this matter has never sought personal gain. It is really hateful and a pity to be suspected in this way." Zhou Shuyan said.

Therefore, Lu Youxi has always been very low-key and has not said that she knows anyone in Chengzhou. Zhou Shuyan actually agrees with this.

But he didn't expect that Lu Youxi was simply worried that his work would be affected, so he kept it secret.

But he didn't think about himself at all.

Zhou Shuyan believed that with Lu Youxi's intelligence, he would not fail to think of this.

Just because she was more worried about him, she ignored the fact that she should keep it secret for her own sake.

Zhou Shuyan felt warm at the thought that the little girl gave him unconsciously.

It seemed that Lu Youxi had never given him anything openly, but this secret act made Zhou Shuyan even more delighted.

"By the way, where are we going to eat?" Lu Youxi then remembered to ask Zhou Shuyan.

However, since Zhou Shuyan knew about the little pink book, there was no need to hide it anymore, and Lu Youxi felt a lot more relieved.

It was like moving a huge stone.

As expected, this person just can't hide things from people close to him, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable all the time.

"Why go to such an expensive place?" Lu Youxi was surprised, "Why go there to eat?"

As its name suggests, Xieyoulou is a restaurant famous for its crabs.

In fact, it is not a particularly expensive restaurant in the capital, and can be considered mid-to-high-end.

But for Zhou Shuyan, Lu Youxi felt that it was quite expensive.

"I've been in the capital for so long, but I haven't taken you to a decent restaurant for dinner." Zhou Shuyan explained slowly, "It's not always, but it's okay to go once in a while."

"It's still a bit expensive." Lu Youxi muttered, feeling a little distressed.

"You don't have to treat me to such an expensive meal."

"Today is our first official date, right?" Zhou Shuyan suddenly said.

Lu Youxi opened his mouth, wanting to say that they had met many times before.

We can see each other at least once a week.

"We always met for various reasons before, not specifically for a date." Zhou Shuyan said gently, "This time is different."

Lu Youxi's face flushed, "That's true, this should be considered the first official date."

Zhou Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief.

He actually wanted to let Lu Youxi get used to it slowly.

You can't keep pretending to be poor, right?

Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for him to do many things.

He had carefully selected this restaurant.

It’s mid to high-end, so you don’t have to go to a very expensive restaurant all of a sudden.

Let’s start with Xieyoulou, so that Lu Youxi can get used to always eating at better restaurants with him.

Then gradually improve the level.

Invisibly, Lu Youxi's perception that he was poor slowly changed.

Otherwise, even if he said he was rich, I’m afraid Lu Youxi wouldn’t believe it.

This way, when I confess my true identity to Lu Youxi in the future, Lu Youxi’s disappointment shouldn’t be that great, right?

Zhou Shuyan was not very confident in thinking about it.

The taxi stopped in front of the Xieyou Building.

The two got out of the car and went into the Crab House.

In fact, Lu Youxi had been here in his previous life, but not many times.

Occasionally, when I want to eat crabs, I come here to have a try.

But most of them went to more upscale restaurants.

Zhou Shuyan reported his name and the last digit of his cell phone number, and the waiter took them to the pre-arranged seat.

Since there were only two of them, they booked a seat in the hall and chose a window seat.

"This is the time when hairy crabs are at their fattest. The roe of female crabs is full, and the crab paste of male crabs is also starting to increase." The waiter introduced while Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi were looking at the menu.
