"You guys talk so well that it makes me want to eat. How about Zhou Shuyan and I go to the cafeteria to find you?" Lu Youxi said deliberately with a sly smile.

Zhou Shuyan laughed and raised his eyebrows as he watched Lu Youxi scare them.

Although I couldn't hear what Ji Deyi and the others said on the other end of the phone just now.

But judging from Lu Youxi's reaction, it was clear that the two of them were just talking nonsense before, and now that they were really being invited, they felt embarrassed.

As expected, Ji Deyi was startled and almost jumped up, "No, really no! You... Boss, if it were me, if Brother Zhou, such a senior CEO, came to the staff cafeteria to eat, it would definitely cause a lot of psychological pressure on Chengzhou's employees."

"That's right." Pei Jingyuan couldn't help it, took Ji Deyi's phone and said, "I'm already very tired after a day's work. It's not easy to have a lunch break. I want to relax. Don't add more burden to other employees."

"So that's how it is. I understand." Somehow the voice on the other end of the phone changed to Zhou Shuyan's.

Pei Jingyuan: “!!!”

"Mr. Zhou, that's not what I meant, hehe..." Pei Jingyuan didn't know how to explain it and could only laugh dryly.

It's really hard to explain.

How could the boss give the phone to Zhou Shuyan without saying anything? Lu Youxi looked at Zhou Shuyan helplessly. Zhou Shuyan had just pressed the speaker on the phone, and Pei Jingyuan's words were heard by Zhou Shuyan.

"He was just teasing you, don't be scared." Lu Youxi said, "Okay, you two go eat. If you ever feel less stressed and want to have a big meal, tell me and I'll make up for it."

"Okay, okay." Pei Jingyuan said quickly.

Ji Deyi also turned on the speaker function of his mobile phone, and now the two of them were listening together.

Lu Youxi added: "Also, no matter what, he had concealed his identity from you before, so treating you to a meal should be considered as an apology."

Zhou Shuyan: “…”

There is nothing wrong with what Lu Youxi said.

Anyway, since it was Lu Youxi who said it, he just accepted it.

Zhou Shuyan touched the tip of his nose and didn't dare to say anything.

“Don’t dare!” Even though Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan couldn’t see them at all, Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan hurriedly waved their hands at the same time, “Boss Zhou has his own difficulties, we can understand.”

Pei Jingyuan followed up and said, "Yes, yes, I understand. I understand."

Lu Youxi laughed, "Okay, I won't delay your meal."

"Okay, okay, goodbye, boss, goodbye, Mr. Zhou!" Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi said in unison.

Lu Youxi hung up the phone and said to Zhou Shuyan helplessly: "They usually call me Brother Zhou, including today before entering the meeting room. But they don't dare to do that in front of you."

"Let them do what they want." Zhou Shuyan didn't mind what they shouted.

These two people have always been very sensible.

* The village chief dealt with the matter of Hexing Village again, and just to be on the safe side, he counted the families who were willing to continue selling rice to Lu Youxi.

"Huh?" The village head's wife glanced at the list casually and asked in confusion, "Why is Ge Guifen on the list?"

"I didn't expect that she would still be willing to sell it." The village chief said, "I'm not surprised that she was willing to sell it before, after all, the price offered by Yuki was high. Even if she and Yuki have always had conflicts, she is such a money-conscious person that she would definitely not go against money. But now that I heard that the price offered by the factory is higher than Yuki's, I'm also quite surprised that she is still willing to sell it to Yuki."

"Oh, what?" said the village head's wife, "She has already agreed to sell it to the factory."

"When did it happen?" the village chief asked in surprise.

"Not long after you told everyone about this in the square, I heard from Xiaolin that she sold her rice to the factory at a high price." The village head's wife said, "You can pay attention to the big things in the village, but for gossip like this, you still have to pay attention to me."

The village chief laughed and said, "That's what Xiaolin said."

"If I hadn't asked Xiaolin, would you have known?" The village head's wife rolled her eyes at him. "I was the first to ask Xiaolin to help pay attention to the opinions of the various families in the village to see if anyone has secretly signed a contract with the factory. Xiaolin went to ask around and found that so far, Ge Guifen is the only one in our village who has secretly signed a contract with the factory, and it seems that she signed it for a high price."

The village head's wife curled her lips and said, "If I hadn't been more careful, you would still be deceived by Ge Guifen."

"Yes, yes, yes." The village chief smiled and thanked his wife, "This time it is really thanks to you."

"This Ge Guifen, she has clearly signed a contract with the factory, but she still came to sign to sell the rice to Youxi. Isn't she cheating people?" The village head's wife really hates Ge Guifen now.

"That is to say." The village chief said unhappily, "Let's count the amount of rice and give it to Youxi. If Ge Guifen's portion is missing, what if it delays Youxi's business?"

"It's a good thing we found it." said the village chief's wife.

The village chief quickly crossed out Ge Guifen's name and said, "Go and ask around to see if anyone else has secretly sold it to the factory."

"Those people are the same. They just sold it. Who is stopping them? They just admitted it openly." The village chief said angrily.

The village head's wife shook her head. "Well, some people are just hopeless. I want to help them live a good life, but they just act too smart."

"I'll go and ask again." The village head's wife went to ask again.

But to the village chief's surprise, in the end only Ge Guifen sold it to the factory.

"Fan Shugen wanted to sell, but he didn't work, so he didn't care. His wife did all the work in his fields, and she also paid him. So his wife insisted on selling to Youxi, and he had no choice." The village head's wife couldn't help but sigh, "Fan Shugen is sneaky, but at least he listens to his wife. His wife is also very capable and can control him."

"His wife used to say that Fan Shugen was lazy and that he didn't need to work, as long as he didn't cause trouble for her and was obedient. She would just treat it as raising another son." The village head's wife said, "I used to disagree with her, but now I think Fan Shugen's wife is actually a smart person."

"It's easy for people in the city to get a divorce, but it's impossible in our village. Since she can't get a divorce, she can at least get by as long as her husband is obedient."
