However, Qin Zun still acted as if nothing had happened and continued to say to the old man: "Will you come to see her this weekend?"
He then added casually, "I heard her say that if you were to come over, she would prepare some soup for you this weekend."
When he heard the word "stew soup", a gleam of light flashed in Mr. Qin's eyes.
He had been craving the soup cooked by his grandson's wife for a long time, but he had only tasted it once.
But just that one time, she captured his heart.
He was convinced that Tonghua was the granddaughter-in-law he had been looking for. She was kind, caring towards the elderly, and had good cooking skills.
If this isn't the best candidate for granddaughter-in-law, then what is?
He was not doing this out of selfish motives, just to get to drink soup more often, which was why he tried so hard to persuade the other party to become his granddaughter-in-law.
But they had been married for so long, and he hadn't had the chance to drink again.
Mr. Qin still had a smile on his face: "Grandpa is free this weekend."
After deciding that the old man would come over at the weekend, Qin Zun hung up the phone.
He then called Secretary Li.
Ask her to send today's work directly to his computer.
He's going to work remotely.
I got drunk this morning and delayed some of the work progress. I need to speed up.
The whole afternoon passed like this.
When Qin Zun came to his senses, the time was already half past six.
Qin Zun pinched his sore nose, pushed away the chair and stood up.
"Why hasn't she come back yet?"
Logically speaking, by this time, Fairy Tale should have already returned home.
Qin Zun left his home office and walked up the stairs.
I was holding my phone and wondering whether I should call her.
Then I heard the sound of the door opening.
As he walked downstairs, he looked towards the entrance.
The door opened.
It is indeed a fairy tale home.
But looking at the expression on her face, she doesn't seem very happy?
Qin Zun greeted Tong Hua: "You're back?"
"Um."
Tonghua's tone was a little low, and he didn't have the energy he usually had when he got home from get off work.
Anyone with eyes could see that something must have happened.
Wasn’t everything fine in the afternoon?
Qin Zun asked her gently: "What's wrong with you? Did something unpleasant happen at the company?"
Tonghua said in a sullen tone: "Nothing."
After changing into slippers, she sat down on the sofa.
He held his chest with both hands, his expression very depressed.
Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Qin Zun did not keep asking her what happened. Instead, he walked to the kitchen and poured her a glass of boiled water.
"Here, have a drink of water."
Tonghua took the cup of water: "Thank you."
After drinking the water, Tonghua felt a little better.
She took the initiative to explain to Qin Zun: "Thank you for your concern, it's just a little thing happened at work, I'm fine."
Tonghua tried to cheer up: "You must be hungry. I will go cook now."
She stood up from the sofa and was about to go to the kitchen, but was stopped by Qin Zun.
"We won't cook tonight. Let's eat out."
Tonghua looked at him puzzledly: "Going out to eat? Why?"
He made up an excuse: "Our company won a lucky draw and a luxurious dinner for two."
Qin Zun knew that Tonghua was always frugal. If he said that he wanted to make her feel better before suggesting going out for dinner, she would definitely not accept it, so he made up this excuse.
Tonghua instantly became interested, her tone full of anticipation: "How much is this lottery ticket worth? Can it be sold or recycled?"
Qin Zun tapped her little head.
"You only think about money. This lottery ticket cannot be returned, transferred, or sold. The redemption time is tonight. No more waiting!"
Qin Zun felt speechless. This woman really had no charm at all.
He finally came up with this method to make her happier.
As a result, she immediately asked whether the prize could be converted into cash.
He is really obsessed with money.
When Tonghua heard that it couldn't be exchanged for money, there was a moment of disappointment in her eyes, but her mood immediately improved.
"It's fine if I can't redeem it, but a free meal would be nice too. Where are we eating this time?"
Qin Zun said casually: "Shang Shi."
Tonghua frowned. "Shangshi? I've never heard of it. Are you sure the prize your company won is for a meal at a high-end restaurant? It's not some ordinary snack bar, is it?"
Qin Zun was furious: "Forget it if you don't want to go."
Seeing that Qin Zun was a little angry, Tonghua hurriedly apologized to him.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me. I'm very magnanimous and haven't been to any high-end places."
Qin Zun thought about it and realized that he couldn't blame her. She had no idea that he opened this private restaurant.
The people who go there to eat are either rich or noble.
Normally, if someone wants to eat there, they have to draw lots or use connections to get in.
Many people are proud to have eaten there.
"Since we're going out to eat, don't wear this uniform anymore. Dress yourself up. I'll be waiting for you downstairs later."
Tongtong muttered softly, "Isn't it just going out for a meal? Why do you need to dress up specially? It's not like you're going out to meet your lover."
"Um?!"
Seeing Qin Zun looking at her with an unfriendly look, Tonghua immediately shut up and went back to her room.
Qin Zun then held his forehead, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to take her there for dinner.
Qin Zun also returned to the room.
After all, this luxurious dinner for two was just something he made up on the spur of the moment, and there was no company lottery at all.
He asked Tonghua to dress up nicely in order to delay time.
He needs his subordinates to make arrangements in advance.
He called Assistant Zhou.
He said that he was going to Shangshi to have dinner with someone and had arranged the seats.
After receiving the call, Assistant Zhou said he would send someone to prepare immediately.
Tonghua returned to her room and looked at the clothes in the closet, feeling very worried.
She wanted to go out to eat, but she had nothing to wear.
Qin Zun also said that they were going to a high-end restaurant for dinner. If he dressed too casually, would it embarrass him?
But she only had ordinary clothes.
How about wearing the clothes you wore last time when you went to Grandpa Qin’s house?
After changing her clothes in the bathroom, Tonghua picked up the cosmetics that Qin's mother had given her last time.
She didn't wear much makeup, and this time she just put on some powder and lipstick.
After changing clothes and putting on makeup, Tonghua looked at herself in the mirror and felt something was strange.
Stand in front of the mirror and look left and right.
Finally understand.
She hasn't done her hair yet.
She still wears an old-fashioned low ponytail.
It doesn't match the elegant ladylike skirt I'm wearing now.
But she didn't know how to curl her hair, so she could only untie it and let it hang loose.
It looks much better now.
Tonghua went downstairs satisfied.
