Further investigation is needed.
While Zhou Du was looking at Lu Mingji, Lu Mingji was also looking at him with scrutiny. He hadn't seen his face clearly before, but now he could. He didn't expect that Xia Xi's childhood friend was this type, trendy and cool, like a member of a Korean boy band.
I intuitively feel that this is not the type Xia Xi likes.
Just as he thought of this, a girl from the table next to him covered her mouth and exclaimed at Zhou Du, as if she had seen a big star in real life. She was so excited that she couldn't speak: "Is it Zhou, Zhou Du?"
Zhou Du looked towards the source of the sound, tilted his head and smiled slightly: "It's me."
"Ahhhh, we meet him in person!" The two girls stood up at the same time, their eyes twinkling with stars. They suppressed their excitement and let out a string of flattery. "You're even more handsome in person than in the video! You're so tall, and your skin is so beautiful. You can debut as an idol! Can...can I get an autograph?"
Zhou Du put Youyou down and signed their phone cases.
The two girls sat back contentedly holding their respective phone cases without disturbing him.
Xia Xi was used to this scene and looked calm, but Lu Mingji was very surprised and asked her: "Who is your friend? Is he really a big star?" He usually didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry and didn't know many stars.
Zhou Du took this opportunity to extend his hand and introduce himself: "I'm not a big star, just a small blogger. Zhou Du, you should be able to see my name if you search for it on Douyin."
Xia Xi laughed and put down his plan: "Don't be so modest, you're a big internet celebrity with millions of fans."
Zhou Du frowned: "Tsk, keep a low profile."
Lu Mingji shook his hand and said briefly, "Lu Mingji, Xixi's senior."
"I've heard her mention you. Nice to meet you."
The two men let go of each other's hands and sat down. Lu Mingji actually took out his phone and searched his name on the spot. With over 20 million followers and hundreds of thousands of likes on each of his videos, an influencer of this level should earn a lot of money.
"Xixi is right, Mr. Zhou is too modest." Lu Mingji said.
"Just call me Zhou Du." Zhou Du glanced at his phone screen and waved his hand. "I just caught the internet boom. I was lucky. I can't be compared with a big boss like you who started your own business."
Lu Mingji shook his head and chuckled, "To be honest, I'm afraid you alone earn as much as a medium-sized enterprise. Bosses like us just say it to make it sound good."
The two men were chatting happily. Xia Xi was worried that the child would be hungry, so he called the waiter to order food.
The adults ordered steak, pasta, salad and other dishes, and the two children ordered their favorite pizza, fried chicken and French fries, filling up the table.
Zhou Du picked up a white napkin and wrapped it around Ziheng's neck to prevent him from getting his clothes dirty while eating. "Okay, let's eat."
Ziheng already had a few French fries in his mouth: "Thank you, godfather."
The child's voice was unclear, and Lu Mingji didn't hear clearly how he addressed Zhou Du. He was stunned for a moment, then blurted out subconsciously: "What did Ziheng call you?"
Zhou Du's eyes were playful as he put his arm around Ziheng's shoulders, holding the little guy in his arms: "Kid, call me dad!"
He wanted to see how Lu Mingji would react when he heard that he was the father of two children.
Unfortunately, this didn't happen. Lu Mingji quickly realized that Zhou Du was playing a trick on him. Based on Xia Xi's behavior at the last class reunion, Xu Yanfeng was the father of the child, although Xia Xi hadn't explicitly admitted it.
There was suddenly a commotion at the door. The child was very curious and stretched his neck to look over there.
Xu Yanfeng was accompanied by several company executives as they inspected the company's subsidiaries. The Xu Group had a wide range of interests, encompassing catering, entertainment, real estate, finance, and other fields.
Youyou blinked her eyes, grabbed Xia Xi's arm and whispered to her: "Mom, that uncle is the one who bullied you and grandma. I recognize him."
When Xia Xi took a look, all the blood in his body rushed to his head and his breathing became rapid in an instant.
The person who reacted more than her was Zhou Du. The man who had been talking so freely just now was like a mouse seeing a cat. He shrank his neck, shielded his face with his arms, dodged his gaze, and wished he could run away. "Fuck, how could I run into Xu...this..."
