Chapter 11 The Shoes Sent by Mr. Zhou
Inside the box, after three rounds of drinks, the dinner was finally coming to an end.
The auction will be held at 4 o'clock and there will be a dinner after it, with a break of several hours in between.
Zhang Qing booked a room for Zhou Jingyu upstairs. He took off his suit jacket and put it on his arm.
The cuffs on the man's wrists were unbuttoned, revealing the veins on his forearms.
Zhang Qing: "I have a social event tonight, so you can go up and rest for two hours."
Zhou Jingyu tugged at his tie, walked out of the box, stood on the balcony to enjoy the breeze, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to lower his head to light it, he caught sight of two young people, a man and a woman, on the terrace below.
Chen Zan's face was so beautiful that it was dazzling. Zhou Jingyu saw it at just a casual glance.
She sat on the terrace steps in her sweater and coat, with her high heels taken off and placed aside.
What was the name of that boy in school before?
He squinted his eyes and blew out a smoke ring, remembering that the president of Rong University called him Jin Hanzhou.
That's the name.
Because of the distance between them, I couldn't hear what he was saying. I only saw Jin Hanzhou squatting in front of the little girl with a medicine bag in his hand.
After Zhang Qing got the room card downstairs and came up, he saw the man leaning against the window, a scarlet flash on his fingertips, and a gloomy aura shrouded him.
He walked closer and looked downstairs, and saw the boy's hand on Chen Zhan's calf, and his eyelids jumped.
He coughed lightly and quickly said, "I asked before, and they are not in a relationship. It must be that Miss Chen's shoes don't fit her feet, so the boy helped her."
When Chen Zan refused to get in the car, Mr. Zhou didn't show it on his face, but Zhang Qing could still feel his displeasure.
Because of this matter, when I was having dinner at the hotel, I specifically asked a classmate about it.
Zhou Jingyu stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray beside him and said calmly, "Unsuitable shoes should be thrown away. Wearing them with a band-aid will only make you feel worse."

Chen Zan looked at Jin Hanzhou who was squatting in front of him with a feeling of being flattered.
Subconsciously, she was about to push him away, but his big hand grabbed her calf and said coldly, "Don't move. Your skin is broken and needs disinfection."
She shrank back in shame and said dryly, "I can do it myself."
Jin Hanzhou acted as if he didn't hear what she said. He had already used a cotton swab dipped in iodine to wipe the broken skin on her heel. Except for the time when he held her leg when she resisted at the beginning, he didn't do anything inappropriate afterwards.
After cleaning the wound, Jin Hanzhou took out a band-aid and put it on her, "Try not to get it wet when you go back tonight."
Chen Zan's cheeks felt a little hot, and he stammered, "Thank you."
Jin Hanzhou threw the used cotton swab in her hand into the metal trash can next to her and reached out to pull Chen Zan up. At this moment, she felt a sharp gaze staring at her, making her feel uneasy.
She suddenly looked up to find the source of the gaze, but there were only her and Jin Hanzhou on the empty terrace.
Jin Hanzhou looked at her movements in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Zhan twitched his lips and said, "Nothing, maybe I've been too nervous lately."
"Nervous?" Jin Hanzhou seemed not to understand her mentality.
Chen Zan would not say that she was afraid that Wei Yunxi would cause trouble for her, so she was very cautious this week and hardly left the school.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Jin Hanzhou didn't ask any more questions and just said, "Chen Zhan, if you encounter any trouble, you can ask me for help."
Chen Zan looked up at him blankly.
Jin Hanzhou seemed afraid that she would misunderstand, so he added, "You and Xu Anan are both members of the student union. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me, the president."
Chen Zhan thought, so that's how it is. I used to only know Jin Hanzhou as a cold person, but I didn't expect him to be a warm and responsible guy with a cold exterior.
He curled his lips and said, "I see."
Jin Hanzhou glanced at her beautiful eyes without saying anything.
Chen Zan put a Band-Aid on his heel, and it felt much better when he put on his shoes and walked.
The two had just returned to the room from the terrace. Jin Hanzhou mentioned the auction in the afternoon. The teacher allowed them to go in and broaden their horizons, and asked Chen Zan if he wanted to stay and watch.
Chen Zan was holding his phone and reading the errand message sent by the dry cleaner. The errand boy who was going to deliver the clothes would arrive in ten minutes.
"No, the publisher has a revised translation manuscript waiting for me to submit. I'll be back to school soon."
She explained in a low voice.
Just at this moment, the elevator door on the other side of the corridor opened, and Zhang Qing, wearing a black suit, came out, holding a shopping bag of some high-end luxury goods in his hand. When he saw Chen Zan, he walked straight towards her.
He called out, "Miss Chen."
Chen Zan was a little surprised to see that he was the only one there.
Zhang Qing glanced at Jin Hanzhou meaningfully, then said to Chen Zan, "Miss Chen, could you please excuse me for a moment?"
A hint of doubt flashed across Chen Zhan's eyes, and Jin Hanzhou understood the other party's subtext, "Chen Zhan, I'll go find the teachers first."
She nodded and said yes.
The elevator closed, and Jin Hanzhou looked at Zhang Qing and Chen Zhan's backs, frowning slightly. The young man in the black suit was Mr. Zhou's secretary.
As for Mr. Zhou, he had heard his father mention him at home. He was the prince from the old city, a very powerful figure. The guests who came to the art exhibition today were all respectful to him.
After Jin Hanzhou left, Chen Zhan asked directly, "Secretary Zhang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhang Qing handed the luxury goods packaging bag to Chen Zhan, "Ms. Chen, Mr. Zhou asked me to tell you that it's best not to wear shoes that don't fit. Here are some new shoes that have just been delivered. You can change into them."
Chen Zhan was stunned in surprise, "How did he know..."
Halfway through her words, Chen Zan's face turned a little more ugly. It turned out that the cold gaze from behind her on the terrace that made her uneasy was not an illusion.
Her tone was a little bad: "I don't want these shoes, Secretary Zhang, you can take them back."
Zhang Qing: "I'm sorry, Miss Chen, if you want to return the things Mr. Zhou gave you, you may need to go in person."
Just like the coat last time.
Chen Zan felt a little tight in her chest. She wasn't sure what Zhou Jingyu was trying to do. She looked at Secretary Zhang pleadingly, "Can I not go?"
"Ms. Chen, I'm just a secretary. Please don't embarrass me."
Zhang Qing couldn't bear it, but it was indeed a bit like kidnapping the girl. However, Mr. Zhou was in a bad mood. If he took back the things he had given away, the fire would spread to him.
In fact, this little girl Chen Zan must be very smart, otherwise she wouldn't pretend to be ignorant and deliberately keep her distance.
Chen Zhan bit her lower lip. At this moment, her cell phone rang. She picked it up and it was the errand boy who came to deliver clothes.
She sent her coat to the dry cleaners two days ago and hadn't picked it up yet. Coincidentally, she met Zhou Jingyu today, so she asked the dry cleaners to ask someone to deliver the coat. She could either hand it over to Secretary Zhang or Zhou Jingyu's driver, and they wouldn't have to get involved in the future.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhan's face flashed with stubbornness, and he asked Zhang Qing: "Excuse me, where is Mr. Zhou now?"
Zhang Qing told me the room number.
Chen Zhan took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll go find him."
