Chapter 55 A Meal
At this dinner, the person who was talking the whole time was not Zhou Yuncheng, the host, nor Jiang Jinyue, who was in the same circle as her and seemed to have common topics.
But, her sons Xiaoye and Bai Yuqing.
The reason was that Ono couldn't get rid of his childish nature. He rolled his eyes and said in a childish voice:
"Let me test you..."
Jiang Jinyue raised his eyebrows when he heard this question. Is it so difficult for children nowadays to learn?
But she ignored it because she didn't like children.
Zhou Yuncheng seemed to have long been accustomed to the child's behavior. He did not respond, but carefully picked up food for him.
Only Bai Yuqing held his chin with his hand, as if thinking seriously. It was not until Xiao Ye's chin was raised higher and higher, and he felt extremely superior because he had stumped others, that Bai Yuqing slowly and uncertainly said the answer.
Ono nodded, his face showing appreciation. "Bingo! It took you a while to think about it, but you got it right. Then I'll give you another question."
Jiang Jinyue curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Bai Yuqing who was coaxing the child. He was really a good actor.
He is just an elementary school student, so how difficult can the questions be?
Next, the little boy continued to ask questions happily, and Bai Yuqing patiently coaxed him to play.
After a few questions, Xiao Ye listened, pouted, clenched his fists, and encouraged himself, "Okay, you got it right again. Wait, I'll think about the question again."
He thought for a long time, then rolled his eyes and said, "Mom, I need to go to the bathroom."
After saying that, he slipped away with his phone.
He probably wants to use his mobile phone to look up a question that he thinks is more difficult.
After Ono left, the whole dinner suddenly fell silent again.
Zhou Yuncheng smiled lightly, "Mr. Bai, you are very good at communicating with children."
"When I was a tutor, I taught many children and I learned this skill." Bai Yuqing peeled a shrimp and put it into Jiang Jinyue's bowl, saying casually.
He didn't mention it, mainly because there were wild children in the village who were left unattended, and he seemed to be playing the role of a gang leader, teaching them according to their aptitude.
Some use gentleness, some use violence.
"It seems that Mr. Bai also likes children, otherwise he wouldn't be so patient."
"The child is really good."
Jiang Jinyue heard this and looked at him with a complicated expression.
Bai Yuqing seemed to have installed radar and quickly looked towards her. When they met eyes, he also saw the hesitation in her eyes.
He didn't ask her what was wrong in front of others, but squeezed her hand on the table, as if to comfort her and also to act coquettishly.
At this moment, Zhou Yuncheng said, "Excuse me, but which university does Mr. Bai attend? If you're willing, I'd like to invite you to be Xiaoye's tutor."
The two of them were still there doing childish little actions of pinching each other, but Zhou Yuncheng's words caught them both off guard.
Bai Yuqing was about to speak when Jiang Jinyue spoke first, "We are all applying to schools abroad."
"That's great." Zhou Yuncheng smiled, but still looked at Bai Yuqing like a gentle knife. "So, there's still half a year left. Mr. Bai, are you willing to be Xiaoye's tutor?"
This style is really no different from when she wanted to thank Bai Yuqing in person outside the community.
"Ono is my only son. Our family spoiled him too much, which made his personality even more erratic. He always has a hostile attitude towards all teachers and adults. You are one of the few adults he can communicate with."
Only son...haha, Jiang Jinyue felt mixed emotions.
Zhou Yuncheng then said, "I think your personality is very suitable for teaching him. So please rest assured that the price will be the highest in the market. So, here, I sincerely invite you."
Jiang Jinyue felt that the dining table in front of him was not like a dining table, but more like a conference table. Zhou Yuncheng had already started negotiations when he sat at the table.
She remained silent, not wanting to influence Bai Yuqing's decision. Whether he refused or agreed, she would support him.
Bai Yuqing looked at Zhou Yuncheng's confident and determined eyes and asked, "What are your expectations for your child? I want to see if I can meet them."
"First of all, Xiao Ye will inherit my family business in the future, so I naturally hope that he will be far superior to his peers in both character and knowledge..." At this point, Zhou Yuncheng seemed to feel that he had said too much, so he simply said, "The qualities that a wealthy heir should possess are comprehensive. I don't expect you to train him in all aspects. I just hope that you can communicate with him."
After hearing this, Bai Yuqing lowered his eyes and smiled.
He had a pleasant voice and a pleasant smile, but then he said, "That sounds familiar... So, I'm the servant you found for him, right?"
The fake smile on Zhou Yuncheng's lips faded.
Jiang Jinyue also laughed, "Miss Zhou may not know, but my boyfriend is very smart and has a photographic memory. It would be a waste of his talent to have him be a servant."
"As for wanting him to provide emotional value for your little son... Oh, Ms. Zhou, I can pay more money to have him provide emotional value for me instead of coaxing a child."
Zhou Yuncheng looked at the two people opposite her who were much younger than her, and tried her best to be humorous, saying, "Miss Jiang, why are you making me sound like Zhou Paopi?"
However, the second young lady of the Jiang family actually said:
"Oh, I didn't even notice you had the same last name until you mentioned it."
Zhou Yuncheng's face turned completely cold now. Ever since she stood out in the family and fought for absolute power, she rarely saw anyone who dared to be so unscrupulous in front of her.
"Miss Jiang Er, it seems that you have had an inexplicable hostility towards me since the first time we met at the gate of the community." She deliberately emphasized the word "inexplicable".
"Second Miss Jiang, may I ask why you are so mean and confrontational to me?"
"Can't."
I was choked again.
Zhou Yuncheng said coldly, "I asked if it was possible only out of courtesy, but if Miss Jiang has such an attitude towards this courtesy, then I'm sorry, I think we can skip this meal."
The meal ended on a bad note and ended with a tit-for-tat.
In Jiang Jinyue's opinion, Zhou Yuncheng should bear most of the responsibility for this situation.
Who made her so strong and contemptuous?
After coming out of the toilet, Ono finally found a question that he thought would definitely stump Bai Yuqing.
I saw several adults standing up, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.
Then, his strong mother looked at the beautiful sister and said, "Maybe Miss Jiang has been in the entertainment industry for too long, and she might have a competitive spirit when she sees someone of the same sex."
Jiang Jinyue was immediately furious when she heard this. What was she talking about?
Bai Yuqing's face suddenly darkened.
"Ms. Zhou," this was the first time he took the initiative to call her, using the same name as Jiang Jinyue.
