Chapter 42 Mr. Zhou's Double Standards
Zhou Yan read the messages in the group and saw that these little girls were getting more and more obsessed with the couple, so he found this store based on the background of the photo.
He didn't like these people making fun of Lin Xu.
I wanted to come over to give Lin Xu a reminder and then take him away.
As soon as I came in, I saw two people sitting in the corner who were so bright that they were dazzling.
One is light yellow, the other is fluorescent green, and together they look like scrambled eggs with leeks.
Zhou Yan came here watching the real-time picture broadcast in the group. After scanning the restaurant, he found the person who took the photo of Lin Xu and sent it to the group.
He is a small employee in the company.
The clerk was originally taking pictures with a smile on his face, but when he saw Zhou Yan with a gloomy face behind Lin Xu, he shuddered in fear.
Zhou Yan is usually very majestic in the company. His position is second only to the boss and he is very intimidating.
The look he gave him was full of warning and oppression.
The girl immediately put down her phone.
Zhou Yan then called Lin Xu.
"You have a bad mouth." Lin Xu pulled Chen Jinhe's hair and said with gritted teeth on his head.
Then she let go of him and turned back to smile at Zhou Yan: "Brother, why are you here? Want to have lunch?"
Zhou Yan's gaze shifted from Lin Xu's face to Chen Jinhe's.
Chen Jinhe blinked, straightened up, distanced himself from Lin Xu, and waved at Zhou Yan: "Hi."
Zhou Yan pursed his lips and looked at Lin Xu again.
"It's hot today, so I came here to buy some drinks for my employees. Since you are here, please take them back for me." Zhou Yan said.
"Oh, okay." Lin Xu nodded without thinking too much.
"I don't usually drink this. I don't know what you all like. Come and help me choose." Zhou Yan continued.
"Okay, wait for me then."
Lin Xu turned around and asked Chen Jinhe: "Are you sure it's okay to be alone? How about I spend two days with you this weekend?"
"You--" Chen Jinhe did not answer immediately, but looked at Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan already had a stern face, and now it looked even darker.
Chen Jinhe suddenly smiled: "Of course that's good."
"Okay, then I'll go back first. If you have anything, call me. Don't hide anything from me anymore, okay?" Lin Xu tapped Chen Jinhe's chest to make him promise.
"Got it, you can leave now. Bye, Brother Zhou."
Even though Zhou Yan was unhappy in his heart, he did not show it on the surface. After all, he was Lin Xu's friend.
He still nodded his chin slightly.
Lin Xu stood up and walked to Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan put his arm around Lin Xu's shoulders and took him to the drinks counter to choose a drink.
Someone in the group was still @ing the girl taking the photo to ask what happened next.
【Why did it suddenly disappear? 】
[That's right, where are they? What's the follow-up? Are they really a couple?]
[Of course it was. They were hugging each other and making a fuss just now.]
[That's not necessarily true. I do the same thing with my friends.]
[Trust me, I've been into couples for so many years, I can tell at a glance.]
【I have believed in you, so don’t let me down. 】
Zhou Yan bought a drink for everyone in the office, and the two of them walked towards the company carrying four full bags.
"What happened to your friend? Why do you want to live with him?" Zhou Yan couldn't help but ask.
"He just had a broken heart." Lin Xu explained.
"You're an adult, not a child anymore. Why do you have to stay with me for a few days after a breakup?" Zhou Yan frowned, indicating that he didn't quite understand.
"Well, he was the one who took me in before I found your house. Aren't friends supposed to help each other? And don't be fooled by the fact that he seems cheerful. He's actually very delicate and there's a little princess living inside him who's very fragile." Lin Xu mercilessly complained about his friend.
Zhou Yan: “…”
"How long have you known each other?"
Lin Xu roughly calculated: "Five or six years, right? We were alumni in high school, and we were not in the same major in college, but we are still alumni."
Zhou Yan took a deep breath and said nothing.
I met the girl who took photos and sent them to the group in front of the elevator.
"Um...Mr. Zhou." The girl was so scared that she didn't dare to look at Zhou Yan. How could she know that Mr. Zhou knew this handsome young man?
Zhou Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the girl: "I won't interfere with your private quarrels, but he is my friend, so let's not do it next time."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you knew him. I won't do it again next time." The girl quickly assured.
"What?" Lin Xu was confused.
He was not in Zhou Yan's company group, so he didn't know what happened.
"It's okay." Zhou Yan didn't want Lin Xu to see the gossip.
"Oh." Zhou Yan said it was okay, and Lin Xu didn't ask any more questions.
I went upstairs with him and arrived at the company where Zhou Yan worked.
The girl entered the office and was immediately stopped by others.
"What's wrong with you? Why didn't you reply to my messages all of a sudden?"
"Exactly. Where did they go later? Did they work in this building?"
The girl winked at them quickly, but it was too late.
Zhou Yan appeared in front of everyone with Lin Xu.
There was a sound of simultaneous gasps in the air, and everyone fell silent.
Zhou Yan put the bag in his hand on the table, then took the bag from Lin Xu and put it together.
"It's hot, so I bought you some cold drinks. Share them among yourselves."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." When the employees came to get drinks, they would secretly look at Lin Xu.
The gossip protagonist who was active in the group just now is standing in front of him in the blink of an eye. Who can resist being curious?
Lin Xu:?
I always feel that these people's eyes are a little strange. Is there something dirty on his face?
Zhou Yan put his arm around Lin Xu's shoulders and said, "Thank you for bringing it to me. I'll take you upstairs."
"No need, I can go up by myself." Lin Xu subconsciously didn't want to let Zhou Yan go through the trouble of this trip.
"It's okay, let's go." Zhou Yan rubbed Lin Xu's head and put his arm around him as he walked towards the elevator.
As soon as they left the office area, the employees were furious.
"Oh my God, who is this person?"
The girl who sent the photo was almost crying: "I don't know either. Mr. Zhou said it was his friend. You don't know, when he found the store, his face was dark, it scared me to death."
"No wonder you suddenly disappeared."
"From what Mr. Zhou said, he works upstairs from us. Which company does he work for?"
"I don't know, why don't you follow and see?"
"How dare I? Didn't you see that Mr. Zhou was protecting me and even delivering me personally?"
"But - I feel like Mr. Zhou and the handsome boy are a better match than two handsome boys."
"That's right, look at who Mr. Zhou has ever been so pampered to, even patting him on the head."
"I remember now! I met Mr. Zhou and this handsome guy when I was waiting for the elevator in the parking lot. They came to work together."
"Ah? Then why didn't you say it earlier?!"
"He didn't dress like this before, and I'm face-blind, so I just remembered it."
"We must be so familiar with each other to work together."
The girl who was online the entire time said, "When has Mr. Zhou ever personally bought us drinks? It's always takeout delivered. I think he just saw the message in the group and went to arrest someone."
Everyone nodded in unison: "That makes sense."
"But Mr. Zhou is straight. Didn't he have a girlfriend who he had been dating for many years?"
"That's divided, isn't it? Never mind, let's just observe first."
"Let's create a new group chat, but don't let him see us chatting about this."
"Yes, yes, I'll build it."
