Gu Qi paused for two seconds, pondered for a moment, and nodded.
“That makes sense. With Nan Nan’s personality, if you confess to her and she doesn’t reciprocate, she’ll probably give you a ‘friend zone’ card on the spot, and she’ll have to subconsciously avoid you afterward… It’s not worth it.”
He sighed, patted Chi Yanzhou on the shoulder, and this time his tone was much more sincere.
"Alright, bro, good luck! I believe in you, really. What I just said was all nonsense."
"We've been through so much together, and Nan Nan still hasn't taken a liking to you, so the chances of her liking someone else... are indeed quite slim."
He scratched his head, glanced at Lu Xici who was calmly fishing, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Looking at Ci-ge like this, and then at Nan-nan... I'm not trying to discourage you, Yan-ge, but I think it'll be ages before Nan-nan really gets the hang of relationships."
Before he finished speaking, the tip of the fishing rod in Chi Yanzhou's hand trembled slightly, and the float on the water first dipped subtly downwards, then plunged down sharply!
He instantly unleashed a burst of power from his wrist and swung the rod upwards!
"Splash—!"
The rod tip was pulled back until it bent like a full moon, and a silvery figure broke out of the water. The big fish thrashed its tail wildly in mid-air, its scales reflecting a dazzling light with tremendous force.
Chi Yanzhou gripped the rod, leaned back slightly, and flexed the muscles in his arms.
His voice traveled on the wind and reached Gu Qi's ears.
"I can wait."
"Wow! Brother Yan, this fish is huge!" He Zhuo exclaimed, craning his neck.
Lu Jin chuckled and called out, "Look at the strength of this fish that A Yan caught, it must weigh five or six pounds! Xiao Qin, take it to the kitchen, kill it and cook it right away, it'll be the freshest!"
[Xiaochi has become Ayan.]
Chi Yanzhou loosened the pull and slowly reeled in the line, guiding the still-throwing fish toward the shore.
His serene profile was reflected in the water, and no one saw that the corner of his mouth turned up very slightly.
......
After finishing all their business, Lu Jin and Sang Niannian, the husband-and-wife team, turned their backs and embarked on their world tour in just a couple of days.
They started posting photos of various landscapes and delicacies on their WeChat Moments at set times, giving off a carefree vibe as if "the kids are all grown up and don't need any supervision."
As soon as her parents left, Lu Nange, taking advantage of Luo Xingyou's presence in Beijing, took Lu Beiye, Gu Wan, Wen Qing, Wen Ying... and had a blast.
Logically speaking, these young leaders like Chi Yanzhou and Lu Xici all carry the future of the entire group on their shoulders.
The company is overflowing with documents and meetings are packed into the schedule, making it seem like you could split yourself into eight pieces to use.
Chi Yanzhou, in particular, is a frequent feature in the financial section; his calm and composed face can be seen on the cover of business magazines every few days.
He's either just signed a multi-billion dollar project or delivering a forward-looking speech at an international forum—he's practically a walking role model of a "young talent" leader.
But this exemplary figure managed to arrange Lu Nange and her companions' travel itinerary perfectly, with meticulous care.
From bubbling copper pots brimming with the aroma of meat to afternoon tea overlooking the city of Beijing.
From amusement parks to national museums, from bustling tourist hotspots to hidden gems tucked away in corners known only to discerning gourmets...
Following the "guide" provided by Chi Yanzhou, the group visited each spot one by one, having a great time.
Chi Yanzhou himself is like a fixed-point NPC, appearing within three meters of Lu Nange almost every day without fail.
