Chapter 1008 I finally got promoted, what's wrong with showing off a little?
"Commander!"
The guests who were enjoying themselves all stood up.
Greetings rose and fell in waves.
The last time I saw Chi Yingzhou, he was just an insignificant pretty boy.
Anyone can give him a hard time.
Now that he has transformed into the "Governor of the Continent," those who have offended him tremble in fear.
"Chief Governor, what brings you here today?"
Some were even bolder, going directly up to them and trying to get close, smiling obsequiously:
"You remember me, right? We chatted at the casino before."
"Is that so?"
Chi Yingzhou raised his eyes indifferently, his expression languid and aloof: "How come I remember you accidentally fell down when you were sitting in the chair? I went to help you up, but you pushed me away and insulted me?"
"this……"
The man's face instantly turned a deep shade of liver, and he muttered awkwardly, "Chief, you must be mistaken, I..."
"How about we check the surveillance footage?" Chi Yingzhou twitched the corner of his mouth, his expression as indifferent as ever.
Casino surveillance is unique; the data is stored for two to three years.
"No, no need." The man silently retreated to the corner, feeling extremely annoyed.
Damn it, why are you in such a hurry to become a hot commodity?
That's good, the governor really remembers him now.
They wouldn't secretly have someone kill him, would they?!
Seeing that the man hadn't gotten anything out of it, the others wisely refrained from going any further.
"Chief, Miss Qu has arrived!"
Assistant Zhou, who was following behind, gave a soft reminder.
Chi Yingzhou looked up and saw Qu Qingli standing at the corner.
She wore a light green dress today, which effectively concealed her pregnant belly.
She wore a soft cardigan over her clothes, and her hair was braided and hung naturally over her left shoulder.
Under the warm light, the whole person shimmered with a gentle halo.
"Um."
Chi Yingzhou curled his thin lips and walked straight to Qu Qingli, waving the cake in his hand at her: "Are you done with work? I'll pick you up after get off work."
"..."
Qu Qingli raised her eyes, looking at the countless curious eyes around her, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
I deliberately chose a time when there were many customers to be a standout.
"Um."
Chi Yingzhou readily admitted, gently grasping Qu Qingli's hand with a smug smile: "I finally got a permanent position, what's wrong with showing off a little?"
From now on, he will be her boyfriend, fiancé, and husband, no longer a nameless gigolo.
"A conspicuous bag."
Qu Qingli glared at him, but her expression held an indescribable coquettishness.
"Oh."
After whispering to each other, Chi Yingzhou turned to face the casino patrons and said slowly, "Let me introduce myself. I am Miss Qu's fiancé."
"..."
The guests were stunned for a few seconds, their faces showing embarrassment.
fiancé?
Isn't this the least noteworthy role a continental governor holds?
"Congratulations to the Governor and Miss Qu, you two are a match made in heaven."
Congratulations to the two of you on your marriage! May you enjoy a long and loving marriage.
"When will the wedding be held?"
"That depends on Miss Qu's approval." Chi Yingzhou looked down at Qu Qingli. "I will try my best to get her to agree as soon as possible."
"..."
The others exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.
Tsk.
"Miss Qu is truly amazing that even the governor couldn't propose to her."
"I understand now. From now on, Miss Qu will be in charge of this place."
"You can tell from three years of being a simp that the governor is definitely henpecked."
"Shh, keep your voice down, or the governor might hear you."
“He heard it a long time ago,” someone next to him suddenly chimed in. “And he’s still laughing quite smugly and happily.”
It's clear he's quite happy to be henpecked.
"Alright, let's go."
Qu Qingli pursed her lips helplessly, then grabbed Chi Yingzhou's wrist and pulled him toward the office.
"..."
Chi Yingzhou let her pull him along, his long legs swaying lazily as he followed.
——
In the office.
Qu Qingli leaned against the wall desk, tilting her beautiful chin up as she gazed at Chi Yingzhou.
"What's wrong?" Chi Yingzhou stepped forward, put his arm around Qu Qingli's waist, and smiled wickedly: "I came to pick you up, aren't you happy?"
"You came here to pick me up?" Qu Qingli sneered, not even wanting to expose him.
"Of course." Chi Yingzhou smiled and waved the cake in his hand. "There's a long line, so it must taste pretty good. Want to try some?"
"..."
Qu Qingli lowered her eyes and glanced at it; it was her favorite flavor.
She blinked awkwardly and said in a muffled voice, "Just to clarify, it's the child who wants to eat it."
"Hmm." Chi Yingzhou pulled the person to sit on the sofa and said with a smile, "He's just a little glutton."
Qu Qingli: "..."
Isn't this a classic case of shooting yourself in the foot?
Seeing the man's meaningful smile, Qu Qingli punched him in the chest, her face flushed, and said, "If you smile again, get out of here."
"Stop laughing." Chi Yingzhou fed her cake.
After it ended.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chi Yingzhou pulled Qu Qingli away openly.
If Ali hadn't disliked being flashy, he would have loved to take her all over Xuanzhou.
That's right.
He's officially recognized now.
"Tsk."
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, the manager clenched his fists and sighed deeply, "What a happy family of three, they're such a perfect match."
A curious guest leaned forward and asked:
"Manager Huang, have Miss Qu and the Governor set a wedding date?"
"I can't comment on that," the manager replied, straightening his back with neither servility nor arrogance. "However, marriage is a major event and certainly can't be taken lightly. Miss Qu, you should at least do some further research, shouldn't you?"
Everyone: "..."
Why does it seem like after Chi Yingzhou regained his status as governor, he received even worse treatment from Qu Qingli?
——
Dining room.
It is located in the suburbs.
The building features a classic architectural style, with courtyards interspersed and small bridges spanning flowing water.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the city, this place is exceptionally quiet, and being here is a truly refreshing experience.
Qu Qingli walked ahead, with Chi Yingzhou following behind carrying a bag of fried chicken, listening to her complain:
"I thought you were joking, but I didn't expect you to actually buy fried chicken!"
If only I had known earlier that the gift he prepared for the old man was actually fried chicken.
I would never entrust this task to him.
"Believe me, this gift will definitely touch Grandpa's heart."
Chi Yingzhou rubbed her hand and coaxed her gently with a smile, "Go in, the old man has been here for a while."
"You arrived a long time ago?"
Qu Qingli immediately quickened her pace and glared at him again: "Grandpa is an elder, how can we make him wait?"
"..."
Seeing her flustered figure, Chi Yingzhou slowly followed, his eyes and brows full of doting affection.
Arrive at the entrance of the private room.
Qu Qingli hesitated, not having the courage to knock on the door, and looked expectantly at Chi Yingzhou.
"Grandpa has a very good temper." Chi Yingzhou held her hand, knocked on the door, and said in a casual tone, "Old man Chi, your granddaughter-in-law has arrived, aren't you going to come out and greet her?"
"Hey, how can you be so rude!" Qu Qingli frowned and looked up at him, saying, "If I were your grandfather, I'd break your legs."
No sooner had he finished speaking than an aged voice came from behind him: "I think his legs really need a good beating."
"!"
Qu Qingli turned around suddenly and saw an elderly man with a kind face, leaning on a cane, staring at her with a smile.
Qu Qingli paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Old Master Chi?"
"..."
Old Master Chi's face fell instantly.
Why don't you call him Grandpa?
Has the brat not yet earned her forgiveness?
The old man really wanted to break his legs now!
