Chapter 3 - Hold your tail



When Yan Xiuzhi arrived at the place, it was already past 8:30 in the evening.

Zhou Ziyi ordered a buffet with a night view of high-rise buildings and a moderate price, which just happened to be the slight intersection between Zhou Ziyi's current financial situation and Yan Xiuzhi's personal style.

Yan Xiuji walked to the window seat. Unlike other guests, he did not admire the night view first. Instead, he threw the document bag in front of Zhou Ziyi and said, "Sign."

"..." Zhou Ziyi raised his eyebrows slightly, suppressed the complaints that were about to come out of his mouth, and smiled, "Don't worry."

Yan Xiuji sneered: "If you are not in a hurry, why would you force me to meet you like this?"

"Mr. Yan seems to have some misunderstanding." Zhou Ziyi saw that he had been standing there, lowered his eyes and smiled, then stood up and walked to his side, "I am here to invite Mr. Yan to dinner, not to fight with you in the business world."

As he spoke, Zhou Ziyi reached out and took the initiative to help Yan Xiuji take off his coat.

Yan Xiuji frowned, realizing that things were not simple... No, he didn't know what Zhou Ziyi was going to do, so he froze in place. Zhou Ziyi smiled, leaned closer to him and whispered, "Boss Yan, you are my boyfriend now, are you so nervous? Or do you not even know how to act?"

Yan Xiuji was already here, so it was not easy for him to just walk away. She had to cooperate with him in taking off her clothes: "You are quite skilled."

"Isn't this taking money from others, bastard?" Zhou Ziyi hung up his clothes for him. "Besides, no matter how powerful Mr. Yan is, he still needs to eat, right? People are made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. Why don't you go get some food first, and we can talk while we eat?"

Don't hit a smiling person. Zhou Ziyi had been so flashy on X-mail before, but he was very humble in person. Yan Xiuji was like punching cotton. His questioning turned into finding faults. He had no choice but to follow Zhou Ziyi's advice.

He took two steps outside, and suddenly turned back to look at Zhou Ziyi, as if he wanted to say something. Zhou Ziyi was the first to laugh: "Why, are you afraid that I will steal your precious cassock and run away with it?"

Yan Xiuzhi turned and left.

Ten minutes later, Yan Xiuji came back with two plates. Zhou Ziyi stood up and said, "Are you done? Then I'll go too."

Yan Xiuji was stunned for a moment: "You haven't eaten in the past two hours?"

Zhou Ziyi actually ate a little, but when he opened his mouth he said, "No. Aren't I waiting for you?"

Yan Xiuji frowned and opened his mouth to speak, but Zhou Ziyi had already turned and left. When Zhou Ziyi came back with two plates and sat down, Yan Xiuji said, "Don't do this next time. I don't need you to do this."

Zhou Ziyi: "There will be a next time? I understand."

Yan Xiuji: “…”

Zhou Ziyi asked again: "Aren't you waiting for me too? Only the governor is allowed to set fire, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?"

Yan Xiuji said: "This is just basic courtesy."

Zhou Ziyi: "Then this is my lover's hobby."

Yan Xiuzhi “…” again.

Zhou Ziyi finally discovered that this CEO Yan, who boasted that "engagement in a week and marriage in March", was not good at lying. Zhou Ziyi noticed this, just like he had caught a small tail of Yan Xiuji, and he could pinch it to vent his anger when necessary.

Just don't let the client run away.

Zhou Ziyi had another guess that he wanted to verify, so he asked in a gentle tone with a hint of smile: "By the way, what do you think about our love story, Mr. Yan?"

As soon as he mentioned it, Yan Xiuzhi thought of the series of bizarre settings that Li Fei had narrated.

In addition, Mr. Yan also received a bunch of melodramatic stories forwarded by Li Fei on his mobile phone, which he would definitely not click on.

"No." Yan Xiuji thought of Zhou Ziyi's crappy settings and narrowed his eyes, "Don't mess with that."

No matter what Zhou Ziyi was thinking, his expression remained unchanged as he continued to smile at the man opposite him: "But we still need an excuse, don't we?"

"... Just think about it." Yan Xiuji glanced at him and softened his tone. "When you were studying in Country E, I went on a business trip to Country E."

Zhou Ziyi thought that he had indeed gotten some new information: "Then let's assume that we met by chance there?"

"Can."

"What exactly is going on?"

Yan Xiuji didn't think so much, but he was the party A, so he could throw out the eternal golden sentence: "Think about it yourself."

Zhou Ziyi didn't look angry, he smiled at him and said, "Okay, I'll think about it."

Yan Xiuji warned: "No more strange plots."

"Okay." Zhou Ziyi smiled and winked at him, "Is love at first sight okay?"

Yan Xiuji: “…”

He secretly clicked his tongue, but on the surface he still said "hmm" in a cold manner.

Zhou Ziyi propped up his chin and continued, "You to me? Me to you?"

Yan Xiuji glanced at him.

Zhou Ziyi smiled: "Okay, I'll do it to you."

Yan Xiuji had a bad feeling. Before he could think clearly, Zhou Ziyi said, "So, I want to make up a story about a foreign student chasing a big CEO?"

Yan Xiuji's premonition was confirmed, and he immediately warned: "Don't play tricks."

"Okay." Zhou Ziyi said, "Can I send it to you directly? Or should I continue to go through Sister Fei?"

Yan Xiuji recalled the scene where Li Fei told those ridiculous stories, and it was hard to describe it in words. He could only say: "...Okay."

“But!” he immediately added, “Don’t send me weird stuff.”

Zhou Ziyi blinked: "For example?"

Yan Xiuji: "You know it clearly, there is no need for me to explain."

The CEO still looked unhappy, but Zhou Ziyi had confirmed another guess of his.

——Yan Xiuzhi, a typical person who is soft-hearted and not hard-hearted.

- Give him suggestions in a good attitude. If he disagrees once or twice, use more soft words and persuade him more, and he will most likely make concessions.

Zhou Ziyi had figured out Yan Xiuji's general temper and was better at dealing with him. When they first met, Yan Xiuji spoke coldly to Zhou Ziyi, and Zhou Ziyi responded by arguing with him. It turned out that the opposite was true.

So Zhou Ziyi combined the two speculations and began to tease Yan Xiuji gently: "By the way, Mr. Yan eats these... So you like food with a high protein content? The healthy type? Mr. Yan goes to the gym three times a week, so his abdominal muscles are always in place?"

Yan Xiuji was about to respond when he heard the first half, but when he heard the end, he turned it into a warning: "You'd better not be so presumptuous."

"Boss Yan, if we're getting engaged next week, we must be a couple in love now, right?" Zhou Ziyi said innocently, "We're all adults, dating. If I don't even know if you have abdominal muscles... won't others think there's something wrong with you if I tell them?"

Facts have proved that Zhou Ziyi is so unbridled that he even dares to tell dirty jokes.

Yan Xiuji narrowed his eyes, and heard Zhou Ziyi say with a smile: "I have a mole on my lower back, on the right side."

Yan Xiuji: “…”

"And here." Zhou Ziyi stretched out his left hand towards him, and his slender fingers stopped in front of Yan Xiuji's eyes. "The ring finger, see? The wedding ring can probably just cover it."

Yan Xiuzhi glanced at him and said nothing.

Zhou Ziyi blinked: "No way, Mr. Yan, you don't even plan to prepare a wedding ring?"

"Zhou Ziyi." Yan Xiuji put down his cutlery, stared at the person opposite him, and spoke with pressure, "I told you not to have any other thoughts about me. Otherwise, our cooperation will be terminated at any time."

"I'm just giving you some memory points so that you can deal with emergencies." Zhou Ziyi took his hand back and propped up his chin. "Boss Yan, you didn't fill in my information, didn't confirm what you like to eat, and didn't tell me your body characteristics. Think about it yourself, is this what a person who is getting married should be like? I took the initiative to ask, and you still doubt my purpose. How do you think I'm passive and lazy?"

Yan Xiuzhi thought about it calmly and realized that this was the case.

He investigated Zhou Ziyi before deciding to cooperate.

"You are also like this to your previous partners?" Yan Xiuji finally asked about the other party's situation for the first time. "I remember that the people you worked with before were all women. Why do you ask so bluntly?"

Zhou Ziyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You investigated my previous 'business'? It seems that I did a good job in the first few deals, otherwise you wouldn't choose to cooperate with me, right?"

In fact, Yan Xiuzhi had no other choice.

Tang Shirong recommended Zhou Ziyi to him, so he investigated and thought he barely qualified, so he nodded. However, Yan Xiuji would not confess that Zhou Ziyi was elected in equal numbers, so he just said: "I know one of your partners, and I asked him."

“Uh…” Zhou Ziyi was glad that he hadn’t taken a sip of his drink yet, otherwise he might have choked. “This circle is really small, haha.”

"She knows Tang Shirong, so it's not surprising that I know her." Yan Xiuji said coldly, "She claims to be your ex-girlfriend."

"Well, it's just a nice excuse." Zhou Ziyi confessed, "You can't say it's a monetary transaction, right? So just say it's a normal breakup."

Yan Xiuji asked, "Did you also ask about their physical characteristics?"

"It's not good to talk about girls like this." Zhou Ziyi coughed lightly. "Anyway, the information is enough. But at most I'll go out on dates with them, and I'll just be the bag carrier. That's all. There's no need to discuss marriage."

Would Zhou Ziyi say that a girl had said "It's okay to stay overnight"? Of course not!

Yan Xiuji looked at him for a few seconds, as if thinking about the true meaning of his words. Fortunately, the president did not intend to ask further questions, so he said: "I will fill out the questionnaire for you tonight."

"Oh, okay." Zhou Ziyi thought, you see those questions about buying Coke, just don't fire Li Fei on the spot.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Ziyi said, "By the way, Mr. Yan, I have another suggestion."

Yan Xiuzhi felt that it was not a good thing, but he still looked at him and motioned him to speak.

Zhou Ziyi said, "We should give each other nicknames, right? At least I can't call you Mr. Yan in front of outsiders."

Yan Xiuji: “Call me by name.”

"Full name? That's not good, it's too serious." Zhou Ziyi said, "Yan Yan?"

Yan Xiuji's eyelids twitched.

"Xiu Xiu?"

Yan Xiuji stared at him.

Zhou Ziyi opened his mouth again, and Yan Xiuji said, "Shut up."
