"No."
Zhou Zhizi said softly, "Sister Yanyan, although you two are divorced, you have lived in the Zhou family for several years after all. You wouldn't refuse to even have a meal together, right?"
Zhou Chenyan raised his eyes and looked at me.
His eyes were deep, I couldn't understand the emotions in them, and I was too lazy to explore.
"Can."
After all, we will still have interactions and cooperation in the future, so it’s not good to make things too awkward.
Sitting in the restaurant.
I couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Chenyan asked, "Don't you really want to eat here?"
"No."
"You don't want to eat with me."
...Some things don't need to be said.
I took a sip of water. "No, I just promised my boss that I would tell him about the project as soon as possible. I can't go back, so I can only wait."
“Who is your boss?”
"you do not know?"
Zhou Group specifically asked me to be in charge of this project, and I thought he had already investigated everything about me.
Zhou Chenyan frowned, "I know him?"
He didn't look like he was lying, but rather like he was completely unaware.
This makes me a little confused.
If he didn't do it on purpose, why did the Zhou Group choose our small workshop among so many competitors?
He also specifically asked me to do it.
Zhou Zhizi came back and said with a smile, "I just told the boss about your dietary restrictions, and then ordered some dishes that you like."
I lowered my head and drank water.
Zhou Chenyan said calmly, "Sit down."
Zhou Zhizi smiled, "Ah Yan, you promised me to go see the Northern Lights with me. Does that still count?"
"count."
I looked at the water in the glass and couldn't help but think of my previous life.
On the same timeline, we had not divorced yet, and I was still struggling in the whirlpool of this marriage, trapped in the emotional pain towards him.
And he did accompany Zhou Zhizi to see the Northern Lights.
Hiding it from everyone.
It wasn't until a car accident happened on the way back that the truth could no longer be concealed.
At that time, Zhou Zhizi was scolded by Zhou's mother because she almost caused Zhou Chenyan's death.
But in the end, I still handled it with care.
Because Zhou Chenyan protected her.
I was overwhelmed by heartache and anger at the time and didn't understand why he forgave Zhou Zhizi so easily.
Now I see everything clearly.
Because I can't bear to blame.
During the meal, Zhou Zhizi took care of me, Zhou Chenyan, in every possible way.
Keep picking up food for him.
I have a thorough understanding of his taste.
I ignored their interaction and focused on eating. After I was full, I glanced at the time.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Enjoy your meal."
Zhou Chenyan said in a deep voice, "This project requires an on-site inspection. Your company needs to send someone to travel with me."
I was stunned and quickly started searching our company to see if there was anyone suitable for the business trip.
After much deliberation, I finally decided on Han Qi.
It would be much more convenient for two men to travel, and with his high level of professionalism, the project would proceed smoothly.
"I'll tell my boss when I get back."
As for how Zhou Chenyan would react if he knew Han Qi and I were working together...
That's not what I'm considering.
He won't react at all, after all, I'm not Zhou Zhizi.
"No need to look for it, just go."
I frowned and looked at Zhou Chenyan, "Maybe it's not convenient."
"What's inconvenient?"
...This is just an excuse for refusal. How could anyone really dig into the details?
I made up an excuse on the fly, "My brother hasn't been feeling well lately, and I promised to go to the hospital with him, so I can't go on a business trip for the time being."
"Why don't you just quit your job and go home to take care of your brother? Why bother working?"
He had no expression on his face.
Sarcasm comes as soon as he opens his mouth.
Zhou Zhizi said angrily, "Ayan, don't be so fierce."
She looked at me and said, "Sister Yanyan, don't worry. You and Ayan are not going alone this time. I will go too. In fact, he took over this project personally because I want to go to that city."
It suddenly dawned on me.
"Travel on public funds."
Zhou Zhizi is shy.
Zhou Chenyan said calmly, "Since this project has been entrusted to you, then of course you should be the one to conduct the inspection. I don't want any mistakes to happen with this project."
Now that things have come to this, even if it's for work, I have no choice but to agree.
"Can."
But fortunately Zhou Zhizi was also there, so we were not alone together.
A lot of embarrassment can be avoided.
After finishing work, they can travel wherever they want and I will rush back as soon as possible.
Thinking about it this way, I am no longer panicked.
After I got back, I told Han Qi the news.
He immediately said, "I'll go with you."
"You accompany me, what about the company?"
"It's not like the company will die without me. There are still so many employees. I can't be tied down here."
He said half jokingly.
"Then all the salaries I pay them will be wasted."
I laughed dumbly. "As long as you have enough time, then we can go together. After we finish our business, we can also take a look at the scenery. Some of the scenery in the closed city is quite nice."
I can take some photos later and show them to my brother.
Han Qi immediately agreed, "No problem."
After a quick packing, we set off early the next morning.
When we met, it was somewhat beyond my expectations.
The four of them were facing each other, and the atmosphere was really awkward.
Zhou Chenyan had a cold face and said nothing.
