Chapter 6 She is a wooden man, smiling as she looks at the
"Ms. Du knows!"
"Well, that was my first time accompanying my father on a disaster relief mission. I was still young at the time, so I didn't play a significant role, but the experience was unforgettable." She primarily stayed in a shed providing psychological counseling for children, playing and chatting with them. She saw how professional psychologists comforted children who had lost loved ones, and how her father helped families affected by the disaster. These experiences gave her a deeper understanding of charitable work.
"Miss Zhu, you mentioned the flash flood in Yuwa County because..."
"That's where I'm from," Zhu Xue explained. "I lived with my parents in Yuwa County at the time. Our house was destroyed by flash floods, but luckily no one was injured. With help from government officials and kind-hearted people, we moved to a nearby area to start a new life. When I grew up, I learned that the Youran Foundation provided us with tremendous support, even sponsoring children who had lost loved ones to complete college."
As soon as these words came out, Du Ningyou's guard against Zhu Xue instantly dissipated, and his body unconsciously moved closer to her. "So you proposed the variety show + charity plan."
"Yes."
"This is a really good idea!" Du Ningyou completely put Zhou Yangze's words about showing off their affection behind his mind and started chatting with Zhu Xue enthusiastically.
Someone was left out and stared at the back of Du Ningyou's head with some dissatisfaction, and poked her arm, but she ignored him.
Young Master Zhou was speechless. Hey, you seem to be having a good time chatting.
Someone toasted him from behind, temporarily diverting his attention. Zhu Xue quietly pulled Du Ningyou over and whispered, "Miss Du, do you like Mr. Zhou Er?"
"Ah? Haha, um...right."
"You better keep your eyes open and don't be fooled by his good looks."
"Hmm? Why do you say that?"
"Actually, I was there the last time you went to Zhou's to look for the Second Young Master. I saw him completely indifferent to you, and you were the one chasing him. But today, he's acting differently just to cooperate. Don't you think this behavior is despicable? I think cooperation is fine, but you have to be cautious about matters of the heart."
"..." Du Ningyou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The last time Zhou Yangze looked cold was entirely because she had offended someone. Should she confess the reason to her?
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. The original purpose of today was to make Zhu Xue give up Zhou Yangze, so this can be considered as achieving the goal in disguise.
Just when she made up her mind, Zhou Yangze suddenly came over and asked, "What are you two secretly talking about?"
Du Ningyou smiled and responded: "Nothing, nothing."
Zhou Yangze directly lured the person to his side and whispered a reminder: "Don't chat too much, remember our purpose today."
She made an "OK" gesture and said, "Don't worry."
After dinner, everyone went home. Zhou Yangze asked Guan Zhuo to leave work first and he drove Du Ningyou home.
In the car, Du Ningyou said, "I feel that Zhu Xue has no feelings for you anymore." Not only that, but now Zhou Yangze seems to have become a scumbag who will do anything to achieve his goals in Zhu Xue's heart. She wanted to laugh when she thought of this.
"What are you laughing at? Are you happy because you have one less rival in love?"
"...Don't be so narcissistic."
"I am so charming, only a blind person like you can't see it."
She replied perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes." Then she asked, "I have already fulfilled what I promised you. When will you fulfill what you promised me?"
"Probably tomorrow. I'll tell you after I gather the information from Chen Ziyou and Song Mingyuan."
"Okay." After that, she smiled brightly and raised her hands to make a heart shape, "Thank you, Brother Aze~"
“…”
"Du Ningyou, you really don't even try to hide your mercenary face."
"hey-hey……"
When they arrived at the destination, Du Ningyou invited Zhou Yangze to his home.
"No, I have to go back and collect information for someone. I'm very busy."
She smiled flatteringly, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Aze. Good night, good night~"
The bony hand shook lightly, "Let's go."
Du Ningyou walked into the living room and saw his father wiping his new treasure. He sat over and greeted him, "Dad."
"Ning You is back. Did Aze send you back?"
"Well, you saw it."
Du Boyan smiled kindly, "You guys..."
"Dad, don't think too much. We were just discussing a cooperation today. We had a meal together after the discussion, and then you dropped me off." Then he briefly told Du Boyan about the cooperation.
"Okay, then you guys should cooperate well from now on."
"Yeah." He stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
"Go ahead."
Looking at his daughter's back as she went upstairs, Du Boyan showed a "wise" expression on his face, as if he saw through everything but didn't say anything.
The next day was Friday, and Zhou Yangze got off work later than Du Ningyou, so he asked her to come directly to Zhou's to see him.
When they arrived, the project team had just finished a meeting. People were coming out of the meeting room one after another. Before Du Ningyou could enter Zhou Yangze's office, he ran into Zhu Xue.
Zhu Xue was very happy to see her. She came forward and asked enthusiastically, "Miss Du, are you here to see the Second Young Master?"
She smiled and nodded: "Yes."
"We just finished the meeting and he'll be right out."
"Okay, I'll go wait in his office."
"Then sit for a moment. I'll pour you a drink. Do you like milk or juice?"
"No, no, I'll just chat with Zhou Yangze and leave."
"It's okay, it'll be quick. I'll pour you a glass of juice."
"Very well, thank you."
"You're welcome."
After Du Ningyou entered Zhou Yangze's office, she went straight to sit down in the boss chair. She knew that Zhou Yangze would not treat her badly, and the boss chair that he often sat in must be the most comfortable.
After experiencing it, I couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction.
Zhou Yangze came in and saw her enjoying expression and couldn't help but teasing: "You're welcome."
Du Ningyou kicked his legs and turned around to face the newcomer, and replied casually: "Why are you being polite to Brother Aze?"
At this time, Zhu Xue knocked on the door gently with juice in her hand. Zhou Yangze opened the door and saw the juice in her hand.
"Is it for Ning You?"
"Yes."
"Give it to me, you can go home now."
“…Oh…Okay.”
After Zhou Yangze closed the door, Zhu Xue thought with some distress, "With the Second Young Master being so attentive, I wonder if Miss Du can hold back." She had said everything she needed to say now. If Miss Du still insisted on liking Mr. Zhou Er, it was her own choice.
Inside the office, Du Ningyou took a sip of the juice and asked, "Where's the information you collected?"
However, someone pretended to rub his shoulders and muttered, "Oh, I've worked hard all day, my shoulders are still a little sore."
She understood, and immediately stood up and pushed Zhou Yangze into the chair, then diligently massaged his shoulders to relax his muscles.
"Mr. Zhou Er, is this strength okay?"
"Okay, press this side too."
"Okay."
"Hey...my legs seem a little numb too."
“…”
"Okay~ I'll give you a hammer~"
Zhou Yangze put his hands behind his head and looked at Du Ningyou, who was "crouching low", with a smile on his face. After a while, he suddenly stretched out his finger to lift her chin, and leaned forward at the same time.
Looking at the approaching handsome face, Du Ningyou asked defensively: "What are you doing?"
Someone didn't speak for the time being, just looked at her silently, with that cynical expression still on his face, but there seemed to be something deeper, which Du Ningyou was not sure.
A few seconds later, someone said, "See if you are cursing me in your heart."
“…”Is there any need to look at it?
Feeling her speechless, Zhou Yangze laughed, put down his long legs, bent down, took out a folder from the drawer on the left and handed it to her.
"Yes."
Du Ningyou took the document and saw that his goal had been achieved, his expression changed instantly, "Go, go, go sit over there."
“…” What a great way to cross the river and then destroy the bridge.
Even so, he lazily stood up and leaned against his desk.
Du Ningyou opened the folder and the person who came into view was the head of the Pei family.
"Pei Yanming, 28, current CEO of the Pei Group. He's been running the family business for five years and holds a high level of influence within the family... Family: A strict father, a strong-willed mother, and a rather indifferent family atmosphere... Relationship history: He had a girlfriend for six years, but they broke up due to family disapproval. Recently, there seem to be signs of a reconciliation..."
"Lin Yufei, 26, founder of Feisheng Technology, ranked among the top six wealthiest people in Huaicheng. He started his own business, unconstrained by family constraints... Family: Father remarried, mother remarried, has a half-brother, with whom he has a decent relationship... Relationship history: Had a college romance. Although single during his startup, he seemed to be acting intimately with a female co-founder..."
When Du Ningyou first started looking at it, he praised Zhou Yangze for his comprehensive information collection, saying that he did a really good job. However, after reading everyone's information, he found that no one was suitable.
"Is that all there is? There isn't a single family with harmonious relationships and no emotional involvement with the opposite sex."
Zhou Yangze spread his hands, "What do you think?"
Du Ningyou read it through again, then looked at Zhou Yangze suspiciously, "Are you sure you didn't cheat?"
"Oh, you don't believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, but I just want to ask if there will be any errors in information collection."
"Seeing is believing, hearing is not. I'll take you there and you'll know."
"OK."
Before leaving, Zhou Yangze pointed at the first one and said, "Pei Yanming, let's not talk about that girlfriend you've been dating for six years. You also know his parents. Imagine if you became their daughter-in-law, would you still have such a comfortable life now?"
Du Ningyou shook his head without even thinking, "Let's go straight to see Lin Yufei."
"OK."
Zhou Yangze asked a few of his friends and learned that Lin Yufei would be having dinner with his team at Honglai tonight, so the two of them booked a restaurant there and planned to observe while having dinner.
The location they chose was in the lobby, where they could observe all the guests coming and going.
Not long after he sat down, Zhou Yangze saw the target person appear and said to Du Ningyou, "Lin Yufei is here. It's not convenient for you to observe him from your side. Come sit over here."
They were originally sitting on each side, and when Du Ningyou heard this, he didn't think much about it and moved to Zhou Yangze's side. The two of them huddled together and pretended to look at the menu while quietly communicating.
"Next to him is the business partner I told you about, Chen Wen. Look at the atmosphere between these two. Isn't it an ambiguous period?"
"Isn't it just normal chatting and laughing?"
“…” Forgot that she was a piece of wood.
"Okay, this isn't obvious, let's observe it again."
But Lin Yufei and his group went straight into the box, and once the door was closed, they could not see anything.
Zhou Yangze said comfortingly: "It's okay, let's eat slowly and wait for them to come out of the box."
"Okay." Du Ningyou adapted well. He picked up the menu and ordered two dishes that he liked.
About an hour later, Lin Yufei finally came out, followed closely by Chen Wen. It was obvious that both of them had been drinking, and Chen Wen was even holding onto the wall while walking.
But soon Lin Yufei stepped forward and embraced her, reaching out his right hand from behind to hold her shoulders, and his left hand to grab her other wrist. From behind, they looked like a young couple cuddling together.
Zhou Yangze pulled Du Ningyou up and followed them all the way to the bathroom door. After seeing the two of them go in, they also pretended to go to the bathroom. When they came out, they saw Lin Yufei supporting Chen Wen and not returning to the box, but walking towards the balcony outside the restaurant.
They also followed quietly, found a place to sit not far away and pretended to enjoy the scenery.
Because of the distance between them, I couldn't hear what Lin Yufei and Chen Wen were saying, but I could see that they were very close to each other, their eyes on each other most of the time, and I could feel the intimate and familiar atmosphere between them.
After a while, Du Ningyou saw that the two people's eyes were entangled together, one second, two seconds, three seconds... a sweet smell began to rise in the air.
She had completely lost the desire to investigate, and only had a cheerful expression on her face as she watched the two people over there getting closer and closer...
Wow~ We’re about to kiss!
Du Ningyou also became excited. She covered her mouth with one hand and grabbed Zhou Yangze's arm with the other hand. She stared at that place without blinking, not hiding her excited heart and trembling hands at all.
However, at the critical moment, her vision suddenly went dark and she could not see anything.
"Zhou Yangze! What are you doing?"
"The rest of the post is not suitable for children. We should leave now."
"You are the kid, let go quickly, or you will miss the exciting plot."
However, Zhou Yangze half hugged and half embraced the person and took him away.
Du Ningyou returned to his seat, still feeling somewhat indignant. "It's all your fault. You pulled me away at the critical moment."
"See what others are interested in, and try it yourself if you're interested."
"Try? With you?"
Zhou Yangze unbuttoned a button slowly and said, "Since you've asked me to do so, I'll be your tool."
"Go away, that's a nice thought."
"Ha ha."
