Finally, at Li Yuxuan's suggestion, he and Zhou Qizhen decided to work here today and not go back home at night.
The most unhappy person was Lin Lin. She had finally gotten away from the sight of her elders and was able to relax and have fun. It was like a dream, but then a bolt of thunder shattered her dream!
Come on! And here comes the one she fears the most.
"Didn't you say that you have some friends outside? Ask them to come over and play together!" After hearing what Li Yuxuan said, Lin Lin glared at him. Why did he involve the sisters in being monitored as well?
Li Yuxuan was speechless. Why would this kid act so rude to him?
"Why are you glaring at me? If you have the guts, glare at him!" He then pointed his finger at Zhou Qizhen.
"snort!"
"What? You don't want to take us out to play? Your uncle and I turned down social engagements to be here with you two. You little heartless person, it's so nice to be in this private room. It's so noisy outside."
"If there's something delicious outside, I have to bring it here, which is inconvenient."
Li Yuxuan picked up the tablet on the sofa and handed it to her. "Just tell me what you want to eat and order from it. Someone will bring it to you. Whether it's free or paid for, just order as much as you want. Your uncle will pay for it today. Is that okay with you?"
"Why didn't you say you were paying the bill?"
Li Yuxuan laughed angrily, "You damn kid, I'm not as rich as your uncle."
Zhao Jia and Zhao Zhizhi originally didn't want to come. Zhao Jia has always been a little intimidated by Zhou Qizhen's aura, and Zhao Zhizhi refused to agree when he heard that he would play with the famous President Jiang Heng.
But Lin Lin couldn't stand her coquettishness and said that if the two of them didn't go, then she and Xiao Qiao would be left alone to face the big devil, and she also said that if they didn't go, it would be a lack of friendship.
When Zhao Zhizhi saw that the so-called President Jiang Heng was the man who helped Lu Xiaoqiao at the entrance of Haicheng Hotel, he felt terrible.
This is like discovering a shocking secret. I suddenly understand why a president who is so busy with all kinds of affairs still has time to come here to see his "children".
Zhou Qizhen was not surprised when he saw Zhao Zhizhi coming in. As early as the morning of the second day after the two met for the first time in Haicheng, all of Zhao Zhizhi's personal information was placed on his desk. After confirming that the relationship between the two was indeed as Zhao Zhizhi said, he felt at ease and let Secretary Ding, who was waiting for instructions nearby, go out.
When everyone arrived, Li Yuxuan said that since there were so many people, they should play poker. After dividing into two groups, he explained the gameplay and rules. The groups were decided by drawing lots. In the end, Lu Xiaoqiao, Zhao Jia, and Li Yuxuan were in one group, and Zhou Qizhen, Zhao Zhizhi and Lin Lin were in another group.
The bet is that the losing team gives the winning team the chance to peel the big crab.
While the cards were being shuffled, Lin Lin used her tablet to order some fruit and had it delivered. After ordering, she regretted it and said, "Oh no! I can't eat big crabs after eating fruit." Then she consoled herself, "I guess it's okay if I eat less!"
Li Yuxuan sneered: "How do you know your team will win? I thought our team was destined to win."
Lin Lin said proudly: "My uncle is in our group."
She was not bragging. Her uncle had never lost a card game. His brain was like a sophisticated calculator and he could easily remember where every card went.
Li Yuxuan shook his head and pretended to feel sorry for her, saying, "Haha! What a pity! Who let us have Lu Xiaoqiao in this group?"
Lin Lin didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. Just as she was about to ask, she was interrupted by the card drawing matter.
Lin Lin didn't understand, but Zhao Zhizhi understood it thoroughly during the card game.
The two groups were seated alternately, Zhao Zhizhi was sitting below Lu Xiaoqiao, while Zhou Qizheng was sitting above Lu Xiaoqiao. Mr. Zhou could have obviously played a big card to win, but he played the smallest card to pave the way for his sweetheart.
It's as if he has eyes. No matter what his sweetheart wants, as long as he has it, he will give it to her, even if it means taking apart a deck of cards, just to make her smile.
He didn't dare to say a word the whole time and just ate Zhou's dog food in silence.
So what if he wins? His girlfriend also got the chance to eat some hand-peeled crab meat. Fortunately, the couple split into two groups and did not suffer a total defeat, otherwise it would have been a big loss.
By noon, the winner was clear.
Lu Xiaoqiao was obviously very excited, "Which of you three can peel the big crab for me?"
Li Yuxuan said: "I want to eat Lin Lin's peeled one today."
After he said this, Lin Lin rolled her eyes.
Zhao Zhizhi glanced at Zhou Qizheng and said quickly, "I definitely served my girlfriend."
Lu Xiaoqiao looked at Zhou Qizheng and said with a smile: "Then Mr. Zhou, you are the only one who can serve me. Sorry, you have to be mentally prepared for a while, I can eat eight."
After a morning of getting used to each other, the few of them had already blocked out the gap between the seniors that usually existed between them, and they spoke more casually.
Zhou Qizheng raised his eyebrows slightly, with a clear smile in his deep eyes. Then, he threw away the cards in his hand and said softly, "I accept the defeat. It's my honor to serve you."
A few people used a tablet to select some dishes from the menu and ordered twenty large crabs. There was only one bathroom in the private room, and Lin Lin had not come out yet. She said she wanted to wash her face to get rid of the bad luck of losing. Zhao Jia also wanted to go to the bathroom, so Zhao Zhizhi accompanied him out.
When they walked out of the door and passed a deserted place, Zhao Zhizhi looked back, and when he was sure that no one could hear him, he lowered his voice and said to Zhao Jia: "Did you see? Xiao Qiao is quite powerful! She can even take down such a big shot."
Zhao Jia was confused. "What do you mean?"
Zhao Zhizhi wanted to say it more tactfully, but was afraid that she wouldn't understand due to her straight-forward personality, so he just said directly: "It's this Mr. Zhou who likes our Xiao Qiao."
"You farted."
"Which bubbling eye are you looking at?"
The scolded Zhao Zhizhi said unjustly: "Don't disbelieve me, I told you, the last time I went to Haicheng to find you, I saw that he looked at Xiao Qiao with a strange look in his eyes. I wanted to ask you about it, but then I forgot."
Zhao Jia still didn't believe it and rolled his eyes at him. "Lin Lin and Xiao Qiao were classmates. They helped each other a lot in school. The Zhou family elders all like Xiao Qiao. We all know this. If you don't believe me, ask Momo."
Seeing that she still didn't believe what he said, Zhao Zhizhi sighed and said, "Can you and Momo add up to 250? If President Zhou doesn't like Xiao Qiao this year, I'll take off my head and let you two kick it like a ball."
"Get lost! What do I need your head for!"
"Forget it, forget it. I won't say any more. If you don't believe me, just watch for yourself. You'll understand if you observe for a while."
When the two returned, the staff had already served the dishes. They sat down in the seats reserved for them. Lu Xiaoqiao raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "You three crab peelers, eat something first and then work, otherwise I'm afraid you will collapse from exhaustion later."
After they finished their meal while chatting and laughing, they peeled crabs for their respective customers. Lu Xiaoqiao enjoyed it, but when she actually ate the crab meat that Zhou Qizheng handed over to her, she still felt a little embarrassed.
"I really eat it!?"
Zhou Qizheng lowered his eyes and smiled, "Do you still want to eat it? But you can only eat three at most, it's too cold."
"Ah? Then I'm at a loss, I can usually eat eight at most." Then he chuckled, his eyes glittering with cunning, "Boss Zhou, are you trying to take a break?"
"You can leave it for now, and I'll peel it for you when you want to eat it." Zhou Qizhen himself didn't even realize how doting his words were.
After the meal, Zhou Qizhen asked someone to bring a pot of tea over. This action made Lu Xiaoqiao feel the difference between him and herself and her friends, because only people of her father's age like to drink tea.
Lin Lin said she wanted to watch a movie, and because it was a projector, she turned off all the lights in the room.
Fortunately, the sofa was spacious and long enough. Although it was a little cramped for several people to sit on it, it could accommodate them all. When they sat down, Lu Xiaoqiao realized that it was Zhao Jia sitting on her left just now, but why was it Zhou Qizhen now?
