After saying that, Zhou Tong carefully took the phone and went to a quiet spot to press the answer button.
"Huh? What's up with Old Zhou? Why is he acting so suspiciously even when answering the phone?"
However, Shen Hu simply did not believe that Zhou Tong could have any connection with these people, after all, these were the most loyal group of elders that Lu Yuan brought from the dimensional space.
He shook his head with a wry smile, then discussed a plan with the others before continuing to wait in a small room in the reception area.
Zhou Tong took the phone to a quiet spot outside the door, then pressed the answer button. A very gentle woman's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Brother Zhou, are you in a meeting?"
Upon hearing the woman's voice, Zhou Tong surprisingly showed a slight smile.
If Lu Yuan and others saw this smile, they would definitely be shocked.
This kind of expression only comes out unintentionally when you meet someone you like.
Zhou Tong lowered his voice slightly and said softly, "Yes, some things have happened recently, so we need to deal with them as soon as possible. I might be very busy during this time, I'm really sorry!"
After chuckling a few times, the woman said, "It's alright, it's just that we're busy. After all, we've moved outside, so we need your help with a lot of things!"
Oh, by the way, I made some soup and side dishes for dinner. Would you like to come over for a bite? You can bring Xiaochen along too; I haven't seen her for days!
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Tong nodded: "Alright, I had originally planned to have dinner with Shen Hu and the others, but since you've already asked, I'll go to your place first and postpone their plans!"
The woman's voice carried a sweet laugh: "Then I'll wait for you at home!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Tong's face was beaming with a happy smile.
At this moment, he saw several other core leaders walking out of the door, so he quickly put away his smile and put on his usual demeanor to greet them.
However, Zhou Tong was not good at hiding his thoughts, and his smiles were still caught by others.
Especially Shen Hu, who was just about to go out to see if Zhou Tong had finished his phone call.
"Old Zhou, why are you smiling like that? Is something good happening? Did you get married?"
Shen Hu walked over with a grin, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and tossed one to the other man.
After taking the cigarette, Zhou Tong awkwardly waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about? I've been single for so long and haven't even thought about finding a partner yet. Don't talk nonsense!"
However, Shen Hu pointed at the other person, his tone carrying a hint of ambiguity: "Really? I've noticed something's off about you lately. You're obviously smiling like that after you found a wife. Tell me, which family's daughter is she?"
Zhou Tong quickly denied it: "No, no, no, don't talk nonsense. I'm not some girl. I'm almost forty! What young girl would want me?"
"Tell me the truth, what kind of girl could even win over our tough guys?"
At this moment, Lu Yuan also came out of the room. Seeing the two chatting and laughing, he couldn't help but walk over and ask, "What are you talking about? You seem to be having so much fun."
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Shen Hu quickly regained his composure: "No, no, it's just that seeing the happy look on Lao Zhou's face, I guess he's found a new job!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but glance at Zhou Tong: "Hey, Lao Zhou, you didn't even tell us about something this big. Are you even our brother?"
Zhou Tong's face flushed red, and he waved his hands repeatedly in denial: "No way, don't listen to Shen Hu's nonsense. She's not some young girl, just a friend. I'm going to his house tonight! Xiao Chen has been enjoying spending time with her lately, so I'm planning to have her look after Xiao Chen for a few days!"
Lu Yuan nodded gently: "It's okay, don't think it's too much trouble. Our Xiao Qi likes your girl very much too. We didn't say we wanted to bother her! If you don't have time to take care of her, just leave her at my house. I have a lot of family members, and they can help you look after her!"
"Oh, don't bother. Aunt Liu has it tough enough on her own. She's already overwhelmed taking care of your whole family and the kids. Let her get some rest. I just found a friend who can help out with the kids when she has some free time!"
"Hey, Lao Zhou, tell me the truth, is she your girlfriend?"
When Zhou Tong heard the word "girlfriend," his face turned even redder.
He waved his hands shyly like a young girl, saying, "Stop teasing me, we're really just ordinary friends. If you keep doing this, I'll get angry!"
Seeing the other person's expression, Lu Yuan and Shen Hu couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.
Then Lu Yuan said, "Alright, Lao Zhou, we won't ask anymore. Congratulations in advance on finding a new home. Let us know when you're planning the banquet, and I'll have Wang Mingming help you with the arrangements when I have some free time!"
"We haven't reached that point yet. Let's talk about it first. Okay, it's good that you're here too, Shen Hu. I was originally planning to have dinner with you guys, but I might have to take Xiao Chen there tonight, so you guys eat first. I'll join you if I'm free in the middle of the night!"
After saying that, Zhou Tong, unwilling to remain in that awkward situation any longer, slipped away.
After exchanging a glance, Lu Yuan and Shen Hu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I told Lao Zhou last time to hurry up and find someone else, but he wouldn't listen. I didn't expect him to do it secretly. That's so unfair!"
