Chapter 11: The military advisor assists the second young master’s spring has arrived~…
After Du Ningyou had almost finished eating, he put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and then took small sips of the drink in the cup.
Zhou Yangze was surprised. "Are you full already? That's not your normal appetite."
Shen Wanyun also said: "Ning You, don't be restrained. Although there are many people here today, we are all familiar with each other at this table, so feel free to eat as much as you want."
"Auntie, I'm not restrained. I'm really full. I used to eat a lot because I was growing, but now I can only eat this much."
Zhou Yangze picked up a scallop and waved it back and forth in front of her mouth. "The scallops here are really good. Since you are full, I will enjoy it alone."
Du Ningyou swallowed quietly and secretly kicked Zhou Yangze under the table.
After dinner, Zhou Yangze said goodbye to the employees one by one, and then Guan Zhuo sent Ms. Shen back, and he sent Du Ningyou back.
But they didn't go to the Du family, but came to the nearby food street.
Du Ningyou asked doubtfully, "What are you doing here? You didn't eat enough at the buffet, and you want to take some midnight snacks back?"
However, Zhou Yangze said, "I brought you here to eat. I called you to have a meal together. How can I let you go back hungry?"
Du Ningyou originally wanted to continue to be stubborn, but after smelling the fragrance in the air, he threw his face aside, opened the car door and went straight to the snack stand. In the end, he ordered a bowl of casserole porridge and sat down happily at the small table.
Zhou Yangze smiled silently, walked over slowly and sat next to her. After a while, he asked directly: "Tell me, what do you want my help with this time?"
Du Ningyou looked confused, "What are you talking about?"
"Why are you being so polite to me? Just tell me what you have to say. You never used to be so shy."
"But I really don't need your help."
"Then you just peeled shrimp for me and helped me pick up some food while we were eating. When I came back from socializing at other tables, I saw that the table was full of my favorite food. Is there really nothing you need my help with?"
"..." Did he think I was being so attentive to him tonight because I had something to ask of him? I was clearly trying to make a good impression in front of Aunt Shen!
"You think too much. Can't I be nice to you if I'm okay?"
"..." Zhou Yangze touched his chin and stared at her suspiciously, "Something's wrong with you tonight. No, something's very wrong."
Du Ningyou pushed his face away guiltily and said stubbornly, "Do you have to be as aggressive, ruthless, and always act like a scoundrel like before before?"
"Haha, that's not necessary. It's just that this is the first time I've experienced you being nice to me without any purpose, so I'm a little uncomfortable with it. Haha, but you can come a few more times in the future. I'll get used to it after a few more times."
"You wish! Humph!"
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Du Ningyou returned home contentedly. Before getting off the car, he said to Zhou Yangze, "I won't be coming to Zhou's again in the next few days."
"Why? Is the sofa uncomfortable or the snacks not tasty?"
Du Ningyou waved her hand, "It's not those reasons." Then she explained righteously, "Although I only have a sinecure, I can't skip work every day, right? I need to keep an eye on the foundation's operations and report any news to my elder brother and second sister promptly. I still play a very important role."
Zhou Yangze nodded pretentiously, "Yeah, I've definitely wasted Mr. Du's time these past few days."
"that is."
"Haha, then you don't have to come to Zhou's for the next few days. Feel free to contact me if you have anything."
"Well, I'm going in. Bye."
"bye."
Zhou Yangze thought that Du Ningyou had already turned down Fang Rongxin's invitations several times because of his interference during this period. No matter what, it was time for him to be quiet for a few days. Fang Rongxin had just taken control of the Fang family and had a lot of messes to clean up. He should not have that much time to waste on unimportant things.
The next day, Du Ningyou came to Youran to work on time. While listening to his assistant's report on the progress of work in the past few days, he suddenly received a call from Fang Rongxin.
She politely signaled her assistant to pause and then answered the phone.
"Senior, what's going on?"
"Ning You, I have a few charity projects I want to discuss with you. I was wondering if you have time today."
"Sure, I'm free today."
"Then I..." Fang Rongxin looked at the schedule, "Can I come to see you at three in the afternoon?"
"No problem, but I'd like to ask what kind of project it is so I can prepare before you come."
"Well, the Fang family has been running the elderly care industry for a long time. Several of their public welfare projects related to disabled elderly people were previously managed by my aunt. However, due to internal conflicts within the Fang family, she recently resigned, taking several of her trusted associates with her. I'm currently too busy to handle everything, so I'd like to work with a professional foundation to ensure the smooth progress of these projects without affecting the company's image."
"Oh, I see. I'll arrange for the staff to be prepared."
"Okay, Ning You, thank you for your hard work."
"You're welcome, Senior."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Rongxin brought his staff to Youran. Du Ningyou had already notified the project manager to be prepared, and also called a helper - her elder brother Du Ninghan.
This time, the Fang family's project was not just a single one, and the situation was rather complicated. It was beyond her ability to handle, so she called her eldest brother.
Fang Rongxin and Du Ninghan had known each other for a long time, and when they saw each other, they called out affectionately, "Brother Du."
"Rong Xin, your temperament has changed since I last saw you for two years."
"Haha, people always have to grow up."
Several people entered the meeting room talking and laughing.
With the eldest brother in charge, the cooperation talks with the Fang family went smoothly. However, because there were many details to confirm, it was almost time to get off work when it was finished.
Fang Rongxin suggested that they go out for dinner together. Du Ninghan happened to have some business matters that he wanted to discuss with him, so he agreed. Du Ningyou also went along since he had nothing to do.
On the other hand, Chen Ziyou, Song Mingyuan and Zhou Yangze had not gathered together for a long time, and today they finally found time to get together.
When Zhou Yangze appeared, Chen Ziyou said sarcastically, "Second Young Master has become a very busy man now. It's hard for ordinary people to make an appointment with him."
Zhou Yangze went over and put him in a chokehold. "I came out, didn't I? I was really busy before."
"I know, I'm busy chasing Xiao Ningyou. Tell me how the progress is?"
"That's it."
"Tsk, Second Young Master, you're no good. You look like someone who's experienced in flirting with women, but you haven't been able to catch her after chasing her for so long."
"You know, oh, you have experience in online dating."
When Chen Ziyou was mentioned, he immediately became listless because he was cheated of his money and heart in that online romance. In the end, he found out that the other party was just playing with him and deleted the account when she got tired of him. He was so hurt that he got drunk for three days and three nights before he recovered.
So he immediately punched Zhou Yangze and said, "Let's not talk about this. We are still brothers."
While the two were playing around, Song Mingyuan slowly turned his phone to a certain dialog box and then placed it in front of Zhou Yangze.
Chen Ziyou asked curiously, "What is this?" and moved closer to look at it with Zhou Yangze.
It turned out to be the follow-up to the incident when she accidentally ran into Du Ningyou chatting with her good friend in the bar last time, which was the chat record when she later sent a message to Song Mingyuan to explain.
After Zhou Yangze had read through most of it, Song Mingyuan asked, "How many layers of meaning can you decipher from these sentences?"
Zhou Yangze replied somewhat complacently: "She is not interested in you."
"...What else?"
"besides?"
I carefully read the following words. Didn't Song Fox say, "Ning You, don't miss out on someone who truly cares about you."
Then Du Ningyou replied with an emoticon of "kitten nodding" to indicate that he understood.
Song Mingyuan asked, "Who do you think Ning You thinks is the person who truly treats her well?"
Zhou Yangze answered affirmatively: "It's me!"
"Okay, let's look at her reply. There are two possible interpretations: one is a casual reply with no special meaning, and the other is a reply after careful consideration. She replied a few minutes after I sent that message. Either something delayed her, or she had carefully considered it. What conclusion do you think we can draw?"
Zhou Yangze seemed to understand a little, but he was still not sure, "What if it's just a casual reply?"
"This is a question of possibility. If Ning You recognizes you as the one who truly treats her well, and if she agrees with what I said after careful consideration, then it means she has begun to focus on you. It's easy to confirm this. Just observe Ning You more recently and see if her attitude towards you has changed."
Zhou Yangze remembered after being reminded by Song Mingyuan, and said excitedly: "I had dinner with the members of the project team yesterday, Ning You and my mother were there..." Then he described what he felt was wrong at the time.
Song Mingyuan smiled slightly after hearing this, "I am now 80% sure that she has begun to care about you."
Zhou Yangze's smile suddenly became as if it was free of charge. Chen Ziyou exaggeratedly teased: "Oh my goodness~ The second young master's spring has arrived~"
Zhou Yangze pushed the person aside with disdain and continued to ask Song Fox: "Then what should I do next?"
"Observe for a while first. Don't alert the enemy. Ning You has just gotten over his prejudice against you. Being too aggressive at this time is likely to backfire."
"Then how long do we have to observe it?"
"It depends on how you two are getting along. After a while, you can try to get closer to her and make adjustments based on her reaction. Then, after a while, try again, gradually making more advances. If she doesn't feel any resentment, then you can find the right time to express your true feelings."
"That makes sense. I'll remember that."
At this time, Chen Ziyou patted his shoulder and motioned him to look back. Zhou Yangze turned around with a puzzled look on his face, and saw a scene that made him feel a strong sense of crisis.
Du Ningyou was seen with Fang Rongxin on his left and his elder brother Du Ninghan on his right. They were talking and laughing as they walked in. The atmosphere seemed very harmonious. Zhou Yangze immediately stood up and walked towards them.
Du Ninghan touched his sister's head and said to Fang Rongxin, "Back in school, it was thanks to Rongxin that Ningyou completed her homework. She even got an A+."
Fang Rongxin said modestly: "I just play a guiding role. In the end, it all depends on Ning You's personal efforts."
Du Ningyou brushed off his brother's hand in dissatisfaction. "That's right, although I really can't do without your guidance, you can't deny my personal contribution."
Dunninghan seemed to be complaining but actually said affectionately: "You are really not modest at all."
Fang Rongxin smiled and said, "Ning You has a very good personality, cute and straightforward."
Du Ningyou nodded proudly, then looked forward again. This time, she noticed a familiar figure appeared in her field of vision, who was now walking towards her aggressively, with a face as dark as if someone owed him 18 million.
Why is Zhou Yangze here?
And why does his expression make it seem like he is here to find me and ask for an explanation?
