After a pause, Zhou Changgui seemed conflicted and hesitant. He glanced at Xu Jianian beside him, and his smile became increasingly embarrassed.
"It's just not convenient today. How about I treat you and your sister to a meal another day? I'd also like to discuss your poem with you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng cursed him inwardly as shameless, but on his face he appeared eager to learn and very humble.
"That's wonderful!"
Jiang Sheng was flattered and said, "Ever since I gave you that poem, Teacher Zhou, we've had very few opportunities to talk about poetry together."
"If I have the opportunity another day, I would really like to learn a lot from Teacher Zhou."
“That’s easy to say,” Zhou Changgui nodded, clearly pleased with Jiang Sheng’s flattery. “Later, I’ll find an opportunity and set aside some time to invite your second sister along. We can have a good chat together. Your second sister also likes poetry, so the three of us will have something to talk about.”
Pshaw, who has anything to talk about with you?
Jiang Sheng cursed the hypocrite of the scumbag in his heart, but his face showed even more humility.
"That's wonderful," Jiang Sheng said gratefully. "Thank you so much, Professor Zhou, for your guidance and corrections on my poetry. I'm very happy to hear your opinions!"
"Alright, Teacher Zhou, don't be modest with Jiang Sheng here," Xu Jianian said impatiently to Zhou Changgui. "There will be plenty of opportunities to chat in the future. Let's hurry up and go in now. The other students are probably getting impatient!"
Zhou Changgui smiled and nodded, exchanged a few more polite words with Jiang Sheng, and then left with Xu Jianian.
As for Jiang Sheng, after bidding farewell to the two at the corner on the second floor, he quickly went to his private room, "Flowers Bloom in Wealth and Prosperity".
At this moment, Zhao Defu and Sun Daqiang were already waiting for him.
However, the two had already ordered some of the dishes on the menu, and were just waiting for Jiang Sheng to come over and order some more before handing the menu to the waiter.
Jiang Sheng took the menu from Zhao Defu, and then rolled his eyes helplessly at the other man's incredibly gossipy gaze.
"Speak, what exactly do you want to ask?"
Zhao Defu chuckled and asked impatiently, "Actually, it's nothing much. I just want to ask you, what did you say to that girl Xu Jianian that made her change her opinion of you so much in such a short time?"
Although Jiang Sheng had already guessed what Zhao Defu would ask, after saying those words and hearing Zhao Defu's question, he still couldn't help but sigh, truly at a loss for words.
"Didn't I tell you back then?" Jiang Sheng said helplessly, "We made an agreement to work together to find evidence of Zhou Changgui's hypocrisy. I told you that, you know that, so why are you asking this?"
"I'm still a little skeptical..."
Zhao Defu shrugged helplessly: "After all, judging from that girl's expression, she probably likes you quite a bit. Otherwise, why would she avoid me in everything?"
"Think what you want."
Jiang Sheng couldn't explain it clearly, so he simply gave him a perfunctory answer, ordered a few more dishes, and then handed the menu to the waiter next to him.
We couldn't get any information out of Jiang Sheng, and judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be lying.
Zhao Defu could only helplessly shrug and glance at Sun Daqiang, who was completely unaware of what was happening beside him.
Seeing his bewildered expression, Zhao Defu coughed lightly: "Well, the Teacher Zhou we just met wasn't a good person. As for the rest, it's really too complicated. I'll tell you slowly when I have the chance."
Sun Daqiang wisely chose to nod and didn't ask any further questions.
He could also clearly sense that the two of them didn't seem to like Teacher Zhou very much, although he didn't know what had happened between the three of them.
But Sun Daqiang knew that no matter what happened, he must stand by the side of his two benefactors, Jiang Sheng and Zhao Defu.
As the three chatted and laughed, the food was served quickly.
"Brother Sheng really paid off today, so we have to have a good meal!"
At this moment, Zhao Defu chuckled and quickly urged Sun Daqiang to eat together.
As for Jiang Sheng, it was at this moment that he slapped Zhao Defu's hand with his chopsticks.
"Brother Sheng, what are you doing? Didn't you say we were going to eat?" Zhao Defu cried out in pain, rubbing his slightly reddened hand. He couldn't help but complain to Jiang Sheng, "The food is already served, why are you hitting us? Are you going to change your mind and not let us eat..."
"Look at you, so pathetic."
Although that's what he said, Jiang Sheng still patiently explained, "It's not that I don't want you to eat. Didn't I just tell you that I'll call my eldest and second eldest sisters? If they're free, the four of us can have some fun with a group of friends."
Reminded by Jiang Sheng, Zhao Defu suddenly remembered this incident, scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and gave an awkward chuckle.
"That's true, I... I almost forgot about that."
Jiang Sheng shook his head helplessly, asked the two to wait a moment, and then left the private room to go downstairs and give instructions to the hotel's lobby manager.
The lobby manager quickly dialed the number as Jiang Sheng had requested.
Since his eldest and second eldest sisters had already finished get off work, Jiang Sheng called home.
In just a short while, the call was connected to the older sister.
Hello.
Because it was an unfamiliar number, the older woman's voice was polite but distant.
Jiang Shengqing cleared his throat before speaking, telling her about the meal he had with Zhao Defu and the other two at the hotel.
"Eldest sister, second sister, if there's nothing else, why don't you bring your second sister here for dinner? We're at Mingyue Tower, so we can all have a lively time together."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Nianmeng raised an eyebrow with some regret: "I still have some things to take care of. Your second sister doesn't have anything to do at home, so why don't you let her have dinner with you?"
Upon hearing his elder sister Zhao Nianmeng say that she still had things to do at home, Jiang Sheng's first thought was about the factory.
Whenever something is related to the factory, his heart tightens instinctively, and he can't help but ask nervously, "Is Sister here to deal with factory matters? Nothing should have happened at the factory, right?"
Right now, Jiang Shengxin's biggest worries are his eldest sister's factory and his second sister's safety.
