Chapter 53 Bad Uncle, is the kitchen used for this kind of thing?
Zhou Jinbai had no idea what had happened, thinking Su Li was throwing a tantrum. While waiting at the red light, he sent her a voice message: "Be good and wait for me at home. You don't have any promotional activities right now, so rest up when you have some free time. I'll come back to see you at noon. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll bring it back."
Su Li has just finished her offline activities for Jingzhihua. As for online activities, it depends on how the studio and the brand's official Weibo handle it. Jingzhihua's new product is a lotion and essence set. Su Li has used it for a few days and thinks it's pretty good.
The official price of the set is over 100,000 yuan, and the target group is high-end people. In fact, Su Li feels that few ordinary people will buy it, but this brand has always only made high-end products, and most of her fans are ordinary people. She thinks it might be better if Jingzhihua produces some affordable products.
She had this idea, but never suggested it. So far, the new product has only sold dozens of sets, not more than a hundred.
Sometimes Su Li thought that her advertisements often failed to boost sales and sales volume, not because she was not famous enough, but because there were not that many rich people in the world.
Just like in the comment section of a certain short video platform, Jingzhihua’s advertising video, netizens are competing to see who has the most interesting comments.
【If you haven't purchased, please ship it in time. 】
[I've tried it, it's pretty good, and it's suitable for people with sensitive skin.]
[Wow, I'm the only one here to see my sister's stunning beauty. [Heart]]
[I've made it big. I can even see Jingzhihua ads. Does this mean I'm rich in the eyes of the platform?]
[Can you give me a 0.01% discount? My meager wallet won't allow me to be so willful.]
A video has over 100,000 likes and over 10,000 comments, so the promotion and marketing effect is there, but no one is buying it.
Those who can buy it are those who have money at home.
Su Li didn't care about their sales. After all, she was only responsible for endorsing advertisements, photos and posters, and she could do nothing else.
After having a temper tantrum with Zhou Jinbai on WeChat for a while, Su Li felt a little anxious. Now that she was pregnant, she could no longer accept any announcements, and Zhang Qingchi had prepared so many announcements for her.
This is not the most troublesome thing. Once I get pregnant, my parents will definitely ask who the man is.
She couldn't tell her parents to let the father go and keep the son?
Of course, she could also do this and tell her parents that she only wanted the child and not the man. Then her parents would understand besides scolding her.
But it was unfair to Zhou Jinbai. How could she wrong him in every way? For a successful man to have been cheating on her for two years was also wronging him.
Just as she was thinking about how to solve the problem, someone suddenly added her WeChat. Su Li took a look and saw an oil painting of a sunflower avatar.
Su Li took a look at the approved document and put a question mark.
The other person sent a grinning expression: [Aunt, it’s me, Li Zhuzhu.]
Su Li didn't want to answer her when she saw the name, but out of politeness, she still asked her: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Li Zhuzhu replied: [Yes, I saw that Jingzhihua has recently released a new product. I want to know if there is an internal discount. Can you help me get a set? How much would it cost? ]
Su Li asked: [Why don't you ask your Uncle Zhou for it? It's not like he can't afford it.]
Li Zhuzhu: [You're still angry? Although I've liked Uncle Zhou for years, I still can't resist you, a sudden arrival. I admit you're prettier than me, so it's normal for Uncle Zhou to fall for you. I don't want to have any unpleasant feelings with Uncle Zhou over this. He's actually been very good to me, and I can't be ungrateful. He even bought me a house, something my dad couldn't afford even with his lifelong efforts.]
Su Li: [Your father's situation is different. As a public official, he is very honest and a rare example of a caring official. It's enough for you to see how hard he works.]
Li Zhuzhu: [I can see that. I'm so proud of him that I haven't asked him for money since graduation. I don't have much money, but my skin isn't very good and I get allergic reactions from many products. I only use this one and it doesn't. I only buy it once a year.]
After looking at it for a while, Su Li replied: [I'll give it to you. I just happened to have a new set that I haven't opened yet. Give me your address and I'll send it to you.]
Li Zhuzhu sent a surprised expression: [You gave it to me? Don’t you hate me? ]
Su Li answered honestly: "I hate you. I only care about you because your father is a good man. Besides, your Uncle Zhou dotes on you, so as your aunt, I naturally have to help him take good care of you."
Li Zhuzhu sent a tearful emoji: [Thank you, Auntie, for letting bygones be bygones. Don't worry, I won't bother him anymore. I'll repay you for this favor once my studio starts making money.]
Su Li didn't think it mattered. She just happened to have a new set of clothes at home that she hadn't unpacked. In the past, she would definitely share the good things with Shen Xinyi, and she would give her any extra good things.
But now Shen Xinyi ignored her and stopped playing with her. Maybe the pregnancy really hit Shen Xinyi hard.
Su Li looked down at her belly. Apart from being a little anxious, she felt that being pregnant was just like that and there was nothing strange about it.
Maybe because the child was Zhou Jinbai's, she didn't think there was anything wrong.
Since Li Zhuzhu wanted the suit, she gave it to her.
In fact, Li Zhuzhu was not far from her. After getting her address, she directly called a local errand boy, put the things in an opaque handbag, and asked the errand boy to help deliver it.
About half an hour later, Li Zhuzhu received the item. She asked Su Li in surprise where she lived and how it could arrive so quickly.
Su Li didn't tell her where she lived, so that the little girl wouldn't come to her place to look for Zhou Jinbai every day.
Zhou Jinbai came back at noon. If he had nothing to do, he usually wouldn't run around at noon. He would rest in the office for more than an hour and then go back to work.
But now he has Su Li, who is not far from his company building, so it is convenient for him to drive over.
His Porsche with the license plate number all 8 is too eye-catching and attracts attention wherever he goes, so he recently changed to a more inconspicuous car to avoid being too conspicuous.
I brought some food with me on the way, including stir-fried bitter melon and beef and spicy shrimp. I was afraid that Su Li would not eat them, so I also brought a fat-reducing meal. The fat-reducing meal was very balanced, but it didn't look very appetizing.
He went home and rang the doorbell. Su Li was cooking in the kitchen and had just finished cutting the vegetables.
She bought all the food online because she didn't want to go out.
Hearing someone ringing the doorbell, she went to look through the peephole and found that Zhou Jinbai had returned.
She opened the door and looked at him holding the lunch box in his hand, "I'm cooking by myself. Why did you bring so much back?"
Zhou Jinbai walked in and closed the door. "I thought you weren't going to cook, so I bought some on the way."
Su Li walked towards the kitchen, "I have cut all the vegetables."
Zhou Jinbai took the food to the dining room next to the kitchen and said, "Put it aside for the afternoon. I'll come back and cook it for you in the afternoon."
Seeing that there was food, Su Li stopped cooking, put the cut vegetables into a plate, covered it, and washed her hands.
Zhou Jinbai also came out to wash his hands. "What happened? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Li ignored him, went into the restaurant, opened the lunch box, took a look at the food he bought, and directly took the fat-reducing meal to eat.
Zhou Jinbai sat next to her, wearing disposable gloves and peeling shrimp for her. "Didn't you eat breakfast this morning? You can't do this. You have to eat breakfast, otherwise it's not good for your health."
Su Li remained silent. Zhou Jinbai sensed she was in a bad mood, so he observed her emotions while peeling shrimp. "Which bastard has upset my Lizhi again?"
Su Li took a piece of steak from the fat-reducing meal and stuffed it into his mouth. "It's you, bastard."
Zhou Jinbai bit the steak she fed him, "When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"
Su Li snorted and refused to tell him what happened. Zhou Jinbai fed the peeled shrimp to her mouth.
Su Li looked at his expression and silently opened her mouth to eat the shrimp he peeled.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Zhou Jinbai stopped teasing her.
Su Li looked at his profile for a long time, and when he turned his head, she looked at his facial features again.
Zhou Jinbai saw that she was looking intently, and was confused. "You've never seen it before? Why are you looking at it so intently?"
Su Li thought Zhou Jinbai was quite good-looking. "Can you change your hairstyle? Your slicked-back hair looks too old-fashioned."
Zhou Jin paused while peeling shrimp. "Do you think I'm too old?"
Su Li said, "No, I just think you don't look old, it's your dressing that makes you look old. Can you copy your son's style? You're only in your forties, but you dress like a man in his sixties or seventies."
Zhou Jinbai, "..."
Su Li continued eating, "Come to the company later this afternoon and I'll take you to get a haircut."
Zhou Jinbai, "..."
Young people who have a slicked back hairstyle always choose one with texture and shape. Whether it is a full-head slicked back or a 3:7 slicked back, it is stylish.
Zhou Jinbai's big back hairstyle is just to pull his hair up casually, there is no other procedure.
This hairstyle really depends on your appearance. If you are ugly, this hairstyle will look particularly greasy.
Fortunately, Zhou Jinbai's appearance is quite good, and his contours are very strong.
This is the first time I heard someone complain that his hairstyle makes him look old. He has been using it for several years and no one dared to say anything.
Now Su Li said everything without restraint, and Zhou Jinbai just wanted to laugh.
He asked Su Li, "Do you feel inferior because of me? You're so young and you're dating someone as old as me?"
Su Li retorted, "How can I be old? A forty-year-old man is still young. Many men look very young at forty, right? Others try to look younger, but you do the opposite."
Zhou Jinbai didn't insist. "Then you can do whatever you want. I don't really have any requirements for appearance. I never dressed up when I was young, and now I'm even more lazy to dress up."
Su Li said, "No, when you were young, it was because you didn't have any women around you, so it was normal for you not to dress up. But now you have me, and if you want to match a beauty like me, then of course you have to dress up."
Zhou Jinbai tutted his words, "In the final analysis, they still despise me. If I change my hairstyle, people will say I'm a peacock spreading its tail feathers."
Su Li burst out laughing, "Isn't it? Have you opened your screen less often since you've been with me?"
Zhou Jinbai didn't argue. "I'll do as you say. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to try new things."
Seeing that he agreed, Su Li quickly finished her meal, cleaned up, put on a mask to avoid being recognized by others, and took him out to a barber shop and found one that looked more expensive in the mall.
Su Li looked at several men's back hairstyles, but was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to it, so she chose a full back hairstyle for him, but this time with texture.
It's quite expensive. Su Li used to spend only a few hundred yuan to get texture on her long hair, but she got a package for Zhou Jinbai, which cost more than two thousand yuan. But she just thinks it looks good.
After the texture was added, it was indeed much better than Zhou Jinbai's hairstyle in the 1980s. He just changed his hairstyle and transformed the old cadre into a handsome boss.
Zhou Jinbai sat there for more than two hours and felt that the young man's fancy hairstyle really didn't suit him. It looked awkward no matter how he looked at it.
Su Li liked it very much, and talked about the influence of hairstyle on a person.
After Su Li paid the money generously, she took his arm and left, looking at him all the time.
Zhou Jinbai pointed at himself and asked, "Do you think the company employees will talk about me if I go to work today?"
Su Li told him not to be afraid, "It's not that bad, I just did a new hairstyle on your previous one, but just work hard, I'll tell you good news tonight."
He asked, "What's the good news?"
Su Li deliberately kept it a secret, "I won't tell you."
Zhou Jinbai nodded, "Okay, then I won't go to work."
Su Li pushed him forward and said, "You have to go to work. We are relying on you to support the family."
Zhou Jinbai was very pleased to be pushed along by her, "We have a family now?"
Su Li asked, "Don't you want to have it?"
Of course he thought, "I dream of having a home with you."
The two of them were fooling around in the mall when Zhou Jinbai noticed someone was following them. He quickly turned around and held Su Li in his arms, leaving his back to others.
Sure enough, when he turned around, someone just put away his phone.
Zhou Jinbai's expression darkened slightly as he led her away. "Someone is secretly photographing you."
Su Li blinked, "Paparazzi?"
Zhou Jinbai didn't know and took her out through another exit. "I don't know. There are a lot of unscrupulous people in your industry who make a living by selling celebrities' privacy. I'm afraid someone will try to make some money from it."
Su Li asked, "What if he takes a picture of us?"
Zhou Jinbai asked, "Are you afraid of being photographed with me?"
Su Li nodded honestly, "Of course I'm afraid. Those people will definitely scold me."
Zhou Jinbai sighed, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
However, the person that person photographed was not Su Li, but Zhou Jinbai.
It can be seen that there is a woman in Zhou Jinbai's arms, but he is tall and covers the woman tightly, so the woman's true face cannot be seen.
But Zhou Jinbai's face was clearly photographed, and soon the press release about the national entrepreneur having a tryst with the beauty was released on major platforms.
Zhou Zexi also saw it. He felt that his father had been really strange in the past two years. He was a man who had never appeared in major news because of women before, but now people were using women as a gimmick.
Zhou Zexi was furious when he saw the press releases criticizing his father, but he couldn't help but send him a message: "You're old now, so be mindful of your influence. You hold so much fate in your hands. If something were to happen to you, causing the company's stock market to plummet and leaving it in debt, you'd be happy. That Li Zhuzhu is even younger than me. I don't know how you dared to do that."
Zhou Zexi looked at his father's hairstyle in the picture again and again and found it strange that Chairman Zhou, who had not changed his hairstyle for several years, had changed to a style that only young people would have.
He then posted: [Old peacock spreads its tail, to match her, you are really trying your best.]
Zhou Jinbai ignored his nonsense and felt no emotion after reading the press release about him.
It doesn't matter, as long as Su Li was not photographed. However, there will still be people who will dig deeper to find out who that woman is. There is no shortage of Sherlock Holmes among netizens. Sometimes some difficult-to-solve cases are found by netizens.
Among the several pictures taken in succession, one of them blurred the woman's back, so netizens concluded that the other person was a young woman.
Naturally, there are all kinds of dirty words in the comments.
[What's wrong with a rich man sleeping with a young girl? If I were rich, I would sleep with everyone I liked.]
[An old cow eating young grass, hasn't he been promoting his cool and aloof persona before? This Yitao chairman is not a good person either.]
[They all like young women. All men are like this. He's not the only one.]
I'm more curious about who that woman is. Marketing accounts are almost blowing up Zhou Jin's image as a love-obsessed bachelor, saying he had a "white moonlight" in his youth and never married for the sake of this "white moonlight." This is completely slapped in the face.
[What is white moonlight? As long as you are beautiful, anyone can become the white moonlight in a man's heart.]
[Young, but likes to be fucked by older men. It turns out that money is everything. ]
[This figure from behind looks like a female star, the one that's been going viral recently.]
[Don't mention it, court summons warning.]
Su Li was indeed ridiculed for a while because of the endorsement issue of Jingzhihua. Zhou Jinbai asked the legal team to sue some people and apologize in the newspaper. After apologizing, those people continued to lead the public opinion and scolded her harshly.
Then, for a while, Su Li was ridiculed by the public. Whenever someone mentioned her name, netizens would reply with comments: "Don't mention it. If you mention it, it means a court summons. That's right, it's not a lawyer's letter of warning, it's a court summons and an apology in the newspaper. Jie Jie can't be talked about."
Su Li was too lazy to read these comments. She often preferred to read something warmer.
She automatically blocked out some malicious words.
The topic of Zhou Jinbai dating a woman was reported in the Metropolis Evening News, and the photos were naturally sold to the newspaper by someone else.
He didn't care, as long as Su Li didn't go up.
Afraid that someone would follow him, he stayed in the company until about eight o'clock and asked Su Li not to wait for him.
He didn't come back until almost nine o'clock. He locked the door as soon as he entered. Su Li was lying on the sofa in the living room watching a TV show.
When she heard him come back, she looked up at him and got up from the sofa, "So late?"
Zhou Jinbai took off his coat and placed it on the armrest of the sofa. "Well, now the whole Beijing circle knows that I, the old peacock, have a date with a woman."
Su Li was stunned. "Is it that serious?"
Zhou Jinbai sat next to her and tugged at his tie. "It's serious. Fortunately, you weren't photographed."
Su Li looked at him for a long time, feeling a little guilty. "I'm sorry for letting you bear the pressure alone."
Zhou Jinbai smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I brought this upon myself."
Su Li, “…”
She got up and went to the kitchen, "Eat first, the food is still hot. You said you'd be back late, so I'll cook later."
Zhou Jinbai looked at her back, and his depressed mood of the whole day improved a lot. Even if he was criticized by thousands of people because of her, he was willing to do it.
He stood up and followed her. "You're so virtuous before you even get married?"
As soon as Su Li entered the kitchen, Zhou Jinbai followed her and hugged her from behind. She was wearing a not very thick nightgown after taking a shower.
Feeling his big hand touching her waist and down, Su Li told him to stop.
Zhou Jinbai was in a heavy mood and had to do something to make him feel better.
He asked her to turn around, then picked her up and sat her down on the stove. Without saying a word, he looked into her eyes, quickly unbuckled his belt and stuffed it in.
Su Li pushed him away in fear, "What are you doing? Stop for a moment, I still have something to say!"
Zhou Jinbai had already entered. He slowly moved his waist and said, "Let's talk about it after we're done, honey. I really missed you today."
Su Li frowned, exhaled slightly, and reached out to trace his beautiful eyebrows and eyes. "I'm pregnant, bad uncle. Is the kitchen used for this kind of thing? You are getting crazier and crazier."
