Chapter 282 Qiao Xi, be reserved
Huo Xingzhou's deep eyes became even darker. He leaned against the back of the chair with his fingers holding the teacup and said, "So what if I feel bad? So what if I don't feel bad?"
Zhou Yu laughed twice in an obscene way: "If you say you feel sorry for me, there's no need to add vinegar to the meal today."
Huo Xingzhou gave him a cold look: "What does it have to do with you?"
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."
Zhou Yu said with a smile, "I just got a call. It seems to be from the Zhong family. I'll go out to greet them. They should be here soon. How can the boss do such errands in person?"
He picked up his cell phone and coat, opened the door of the private room and went out.
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou were the only ones left in the box.
Qiao Xi suddenly felt that the question she just asked should have been asked at home.
The time and place are wrong here.
She felt a little embarrassed by the man's gaze.
I only heard him say, "There is only one person at the top of my heart, so I don't have that much time to feel sorry for others. Xu Xingluo and I only have the gratitude of saving my life, and I have already repaid him."
He stretched out his hand, pinched her fair cheek and said, "Does aged vinegar taste good?"
Qiao Xi pursed her lips to avoid smiling too obviously.
She said softly, "It's a bit sour. I don't like drinking aged vinegar."
Huo Xingzhou looked at her seriously: "I don't like sour food either."
So don't always mention that Yi in your dreams.
Next time they sleep in the same bed, if she calls out that name, she won't be able to sleep all night.
Qiao Xi leaned forward and pecked his thin lips: "This is sweet."
Huo Xingzhou held her wrist and whispered, "Be more reserved. If the door is opened, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the guests?"
Qiao Xi's cheeks turned red because of what he said, she couldn't help herself.
Then he said in a hoarse voice: "Go home and tease me however you want."
Qiao Xi's ears were burning and she nodded obediently.
A smile gradually appeared on Huo Xingzhou's lips.
Men are the kind of people who take advantage of others and still act ungratefully.
It's obviously difficult for you to control yourself, but you still ask others to be reserved.
Knock knock.
Zhou Yu left and came back.
He first knocked on the box door and then pushed it in.
He is a very sensible person and is afraid of encountering something he shouldn't encounter.
Huo Xingzhou brought Qiao Xi a plate of snacks, raised his head and asked calmly, "Has anyone arrived?"
Zhou Yu took a big sip of water and said, "No! Mr. Zhong's assistant called me. He said Mr. Zhong had something urgent to do and would not come for the time being. We'll make an appointment another day. He canceled the meeting so suddenly, was he doing it on purpose?"
Huo Xingzhou's eyes darkened: "Something urgent? It must be something important."
"What can he do in Haicheng?"
Zhou Yu said unhappily, "Is temporarily letting someone go a step further considered a means of business negotiation? Sign the next phase of the contract as soon as possible so that I can arrange the progress of the project."
It’s workers like him who suffer!
Huo Xingzhou said calmly: "Since he has arrived in Haicheng, it is only a matter of time before he signs the contract. Maybe something unexpected has happened."
Zhou Yu asked curiously, "Could it be an internal fight within the Zhong family? I saw the two brothers fighting fiercely!"
"The depth of the water in the imperial capital is unknown."
Huo Xingzhou cannot place too many chess pieces in the imperial capital, for fear of being uprooted.
According to the development of Tianyuan Group, they will definitely march into the imperial capital. Moreover, the Xiang family and the Lu family are also in the imperial capital.
Grandma Qiao’s death cannot be in vain.
Zhou Yu sat on the chair with his arms folded: "It's good that he doesn't come. These delicious dishes are cheap for me. I'll ask the waiter to serve the dishes now."
Zhou Yu pressed the special bell in the box.
Later, the chef served the dishes one after another.
"Sister-in-law, you can enjoy a feast! The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at Jinling Hotel is so delicious that you will never get tired of it. I will want to eat it again!"
Qiao Xi nodded repeatedly in agreement.
She loves it.
Soon, the large sandalwood round table was filled with exquisite dishes.
The waiter carefully brought up two bottles of Romanee-Conti. "Mr. Huo, Mr. Zhou, shall we open the wine for you now?"
"Need not."
"open!"
Two male voices rang out.
Zhou Yu said weakly, "Open a bottle? Huo Er, you can earn it back in a minute, don't be stingy."
Zhou Yu knew that Huo Xingzhou had been more restrained than other rich young men since he was a child, and he did not have any extravagant hobbies.
Huo Xingzhou said mercilessly: "Retreat."
Zhou Yu raised a finger pitifully: "Leave one bottle! Just drink one bottle!"
The waiter was a little embarrassed and asked politely, "Excuse me, can you open the bottle of wine?"
Zhou Yu's eyes rolled and he turned his target to Qiao Xi.
He complained: "Sister-in-law, I have to go to Huo Er in the rain every day to discuss business. Sometimes I am taken advantage of by rich women during social events. I have no way to express my suffering.
I just want a drink to soothe my broken heart."
He clasped his hands together and said, "Please, please."
Qiao Xi was also a little embarrassed.
On one side is the expensive wine, and on the other side is the poor Zhou Yu.
In the end, Huo Xingzhou made the final decision: "Open one bottle and return the rest."
The waiter nodded: "Okay, Mr. Huo."
Zhou Yu was smiling happily, but he still had to look at Qiao Xi!
Even the hard-hearted Huo Xingzhou will become a soft-hearted god when he meets Qiao Xi!
The red wine was decanted for half an hour.
Zhou Yu immediately poured a small cup for Qiao Xi: "Little sister-in-law, try it."
Qiao Xi did not refuse, she picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
The wine enters the mouth.
The nose is filled with the aroma of rose nectar, a forest floor truffle scent, and layers of black cherry and floral notes.
Feather-light mouthfeel.
The aftertaste lingers.
Qiao Xi's eyes lit up.
She finally understood why Zhou Yu insisted on ordering this bottle of wine.
Zhou Yu was joking and persuading people to drink.
The two of them finished the bottle of wine.
Huo Xingzhou folded his hands and watched them fooling around with dignity and respect.
Half the round of drinks has passed.
Zhou Yu picked up his phone and took a look at the pinned chat box. The chat history showed that the last chat was three days ago.
He put down his phone and continued drinking with a smile on his face.
…
And at this time.
Outside Jinling Hotel, on the street corner.
A Cullinan with a license plate of Beijing A was parked quietly, and it was unknown how long it had been parked.
The car window was halfway down.
The street lights flickered on and off, and the dim light seemed like a stained filter.
The assistant in a black suit stood respectfully beside the car and reported, "Mr. Zhong, I have already passed the message to Mr. Zhou of Tianyuan Group, saying that we have something else to do and will not be going."
He didn't understand why Master Zhong changed his mind at the last minute even though he was already there.
Did you hear the news that Miss Qiao has also arrived?
"Mr. Zhou said that we can make an appointment next time. They haven't left yet, but stayed in the private room to enjoy the food. I found out that they opened a bottle of Romanee-Conti 19 years old, which should be Mr. Zhou's order. The waiter said that Miss Qiao also drank a lot."
"Um."
A very faint, light sound came from inside the car.
