"Junior sister, there's really no possibility for me and that Wang Yingzhi to be together. You must not talk nonsense in front of Master's wife." Li Zhao was really afraid of Zhou Yi.
He felt very complicated. Ever since Zhou Yi and Yun Gaofei got back together, he had given up that slight thought, but it seemed he had also lost all interest in dating. Now, he had no desires and only wanted to pursue his career.
As for Wang Yingzhi, he couldn't explain it clearly.
"Brother Zhao, there is no conflict between pursuing a career and dating." Zhou Yi could see that Li Zhao was full of enthusiasm for his career.
"Junior sister, I can't do two things at once. If I go and find a partner now, I will have to give up all your chores." Li Zhao said.
Zhou Yi stopped and looked at Li Zhao seriously. After a while, he said, "Lifelong matters are more important. You should find a partner first."
"You~" Li Zhao was so angry that he wanted to strangle Zhou Yi when he saw that she was not willing to listen and insisted that he have a girlfriend, but he didn't have the courage.
The two of them came to Hong Xiqiu's door and knocked.
"Who is it?" Hong Xiqiu's voice came from the house.
After a while, the door opened. Hong Xiqiu looked at the person in front of him and couldn't believe that Zhou Yi would come to see him again: "Miss Zhou?"
"Mr. Hong, long time no see." Zhou Yi said with a smile.
"It's been a long time since we last met. I wonder what brings you here today, Miss Zhou?" Hong Xiqiu actually admired Zhou Yi more than anything else. He used to work for Xian Dong, and he and Zhou Yi were opposites and rivals.
But now, he was at ease, and his feelings towards Zhou Yi were even more pure.
"Mr. Hong, don't you want to invite us in for a seat?" Zhou Yi said with a smile. What happened today couldn't be explained in a few words, and she didn't want to just stand at the door and talk.
"Oh~ Sorry, please come in." Hong Xiqiu was a little unsure of the purpose of Zhou Yi's visit today.
Zhou Yi and Li Zhao walked into the living room. This small courtyard was really simple. Although it was not as bare as a house, it was not much different.
"Miss Zhou, I'm sorry, my humble home is so simple." Hong Xiqiu went to pour a glass of water for Zhou Yi and Li Zhao, and came back and said a little embarrassedly.
"It's indeed quite crude." Li Zhao took the water and said, "But it's better than staying in there."
In fact, Li Zhao was just expressing his feelings about having just come out of jail, nothing else. However, to Hong Xiqiu, these words sounded like a satire on his past. Because of Xian Dong's actions, Hong Xiqiu had stayed in the bureau for a while.
If the truth hadn't finally come to light, he'd still be in there now.
So what Li Zhao said was a bit like saying that Hong Xiqiu was behaving improperly.
"Mr. Hong, don't get me wrong. My senior brother just came out of the bureau today, so he made such an exclamation." Zhou Yi noticed that Hong Xiqiu's expression changed and interjected.
Hong Xiqiu basically didn't ask about what was happening outside, so naturally he didn't know that Li Zhao was in jail.
"Ms. Zhou, you didn't come here today just to tell me that Mr. Li just got out of the police station, did you?" After hearing Zhou Yi's explanation, Hong Xiqiu's expression eased a little, but he still couldn't let it go completely.
The reason why he trapped himself in this yard for the whole year was to warn himself not to do anything that violated the bottom line, and not to associate with people who had no bottom line.
Although he knew that Zhou Yi had a bottom line, after all, they were not familiar enough to visit each other.
"Mr. Hong, I'm here today because I know you are talented. I sincerely invite you to join Meiyi. You can ask for any salary you want." Zhou Yi smiled and stated her purpose directly. After all, she and Hong Xiqiu really didn't have much friendship.
Hong Xiqiu thought of several reasons why Zhou Yi came here, but she never expected that she would invite her family to join Meiyi.
"Miss Zhou, you're joking. Meiyi is booming right now. Many people want to join or invest in Meiyi. Besides, in front of Miss Zhou, my talent is nothing." Hong Xiqiu replied.
This was also his true thought. Before meeting Zhou Yi, he did think he was quite talented, but after meeting Zhou Yi, he felt that his talent was not good enough.
So for almost a year, he trapped himself in this world. In addition to giving warnings, he wanted to improve himself more.
"Mr. Hong is too modest. I have personally witnessed your talent before," Zhou Yi said.
"Since I've experienced it myself and lost miserably, Miss Zhou, why do you have to rub salt into my wounds?" Hong Xiqiu's face darkened.
"Don't get me wrong. It's because I've personally experienced it that I know your talent and way of doing things, Mr. Hong. If you hadn't followed Xian Dong at the time, you would definitely have achieved great results now." Zhou Yi answered directly.
At that time, Zhou Yi had already admired Hong Xiqiu's vision and way of doing things. He was a rare talent in this era, especially in the clothing industry, where he was a good manager.
And she knew that if she could deal with Hong Xiqiu, the master chef's matter would be dealt with at the same time.
Hong Xiqiu has a deep understanding of the clothing industry and is acquainted with many masters in the industry. Zhou Yi is clear about this.
"Ms. Zhou, you are too kind. There are so many talented people in this world. Why me? I used to be on the opposite side of Miss Zhou." Hong Xiqiu also chose to communicate directly.
It is impossible to say that he has no desire to join Meiyi.
In today's clothing industry, although Meiyi is not the only dominant company, it is definitely the brand with the most potential and the fastest development. Hong Xiqiu's interest in the clothing industry can be said to have a fatal attraction to him.
But he is now different from before, and he will not and dare not make choices at will.
"I admire you. Isn't that reason enough? As for the fact that we were on opposite sides in the past, Mr. Hong should be well aware that it was just because we each served our own masters." Zhou Yi smiled. "Besides, if I cared about those things in the past, I wouldn't be here."
Hong Xiqiu was very surprised. He didn't know that while he admired Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi also admired him.
"Mr. Hong, there is no need to be surprised. In this year when you have given up yourself, you should have thought clearly about your future path. Meiyi will definitely be your best choice. Moreover, you should be very clear that my way of doing things is different from Xian Dong's." Zhou Yi finished expressing what he wanted to say and stopped talking.
Hong Xiqiu was silent for a long time, then looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Miss Zhou, could you give me some time to digest and think about this?"
He didn't want to make a hasty decision. Even though he knew Meiyi and Zhouyi very well and knew that this was his best choice, he still wanted to think it over carefully.
Zhou Yi nodded, smiled, stood up and said, "I will go to Yangcheng in three days. When you have thought it through, pack your things and come to find me at the Yi Mansion."
