Chapter 85 Angry again?
Zhou Jingyu's office is very different from his study in style. It has a more gray and black business style, and the sofa is not as soft as the one in his study.
Does it mean that Zhou Jingyu's coming to Rongtou to be the president is a condescension and an injustice to his status? From this perspective, it is indeed so.
The competition was over, but she was not worried about the final exam. She brought two comic books in her schoolbag. When Zhou Jingyu was halfway through, she took them out and curled up on the sofa to read the comics.
When Zhou Jingyu walked in, he saw Chen Zan sitting on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, her drooping eyelashes trembling. The setting sun shone on half of her body, as if it was coated with a sacred golden halo, making her whole body seem unreal.
Perhaps I was so engrossed in watching that I didn't even notice him come in.
As he got closer, Wu Guang saw the horror mystery comic book in her hand and twitched his lips slightly. How could such a well-behaved and gentle girl like such a heavy-tasting comic book so much?
Chen Zan was watching intently as the protagonists entered the haunted house to track down clues. The protagonist had just finished saying, "Serial killers often like to return to the crime scene to admire their work," when a shadow suddenly fell in front of her, startling her.
Chen Zan looked up suddenly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Zhou Jingyu. "Why are you walking so quietly?"
Zhou Jingyu sneered and snatched the comic book from her hand. "You were so engrossed in it, and you blame me?"
Chen Zan choked in embarrassment.
Zhou Jingyu: "Did you see this last time?"
Chen Zhan knew the time he was asking about. She had been at her grandmother's house, peeking at comics and had been startled by him and Secretary Zhang. "It's the same series, but not the same book."
Zhou Jingyu flipped through two pages and found that there was indeed a generation gap between them. He didn't see the fun in it.
Perhaps sensing the man's lack of interest, Chen Zhan took it and explained, "This author's reasoning is very logical and his style is very unique. He has millions of fans online, and his offline comic books are very hard to get."
Chen Zan always sets the alarm to be the first one to arrive.
Zhou Jingyu raised an eyebrow. "How does he compare to Edogawa Ranpo and Higashino Keigo?"
Chen Zhan was dumbfounded, then glared at him and said angrily, "The ones you're talking about are both famous mystery novels and the father of detective novels. How can they be compared?"
Zhou Jingyu couldn't help but pinch her puffy cheeks, which felt soft and nice. "Then there's no comparison."
Chen Zan wanted to grit her teeth after hearing this, just like a fan who can't stand others criticizing her.
He snorted softly, "Don't look down on me. Jiuchuan is also very good. He will definitely be able to create even better masterpieces in the future. You are not allowed to look down on him."
Zhou Jingyu sighed softly. Actually, there was nothing interesting about it. It was just that it was quite interesting and a bit jealous to see Chen Zan defending someone like that, even though he didn't know whether that person was a man or a woman.
Chen Zhan heard the noise and squinted at him again, then asked suspiciously, "Zhou Jingyu, you don't only know Keigo Higashino and Ranpo Edogawa, do you?"
That little look, that energetic tone, was quite strange, so I looked at it twice more.
But Zhou Jingyu was really stumped by the question. It's not that he only knew these two, but he really couldn't name the names of the more famous ones now.
I quickly raised my hands in surrender, "Sorry, I shouldn't have slandered what you like..."
He thought about the word and decided it should be: "Cartoonist."
Chen Zan accepted his apology with satisfaction.
Zhou Jingyu: "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Chen Zhan: "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
The man was surprised: "So generous?"
Chen Zan said proudly: "I won the award and there is a bonus."
Zhou Jingyu has never been one to spoil the fun. He leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth: "Okay, Miss Chen will treat you tonight."
They had Japanese food in the evening, and Zhou Jingyu asked her when the winter vacation would start.
Chen Zhan said, "Our college will start its final exams next Saturday and will last for four days. We are one of the students who will be leaving for winter break early."
Zhou Jingyu calculated the days and realized that there were only a few days left, so he took the bottle of cold drink next to her and moved it a little further away.
Chen Zhan looked at him puzzledly, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Jingyu: "It's not that your period is coming soon, drink less cold drinks."
Chen Zhan was stunned for a moment, "You remember?"
Last month, Chen Zan stayed at Jing Mansion. The next day, she had her period and suffered from dysmenorrhea. She was in so much pain that she broke out in cold sweats and her face turned pale.
Zhou Jingyu was so scared that he thought she had hurt herself by doing it too hard the night before, so he wanted to send her to the hospital.
It was Chen Zan who pulled him aside and explained that she was suffering from dysmenorrhea. That was the first time she saw a blank expression on Zhou Jingyu's face. Perhaps it touched upon his blind spot in cognition, and he didn't know that dysmenorrhea in girls could be so serious.
Then she was given painkillers and drank brown sugar ginger tea that the servant had temporarily called back to make, and only then did she feel better.
The last time was because she drank too many cold drinks two days before her period. This time, Zhou Jingyu had to look at her no matter what she said, with a cold face and a firm tone.
"If this is the same as last month, you must come with me to see a doctor."
She nodded perfunctorily and stopped drinking.
Otherwise Zhou Jingyu would nag her.
Seeing her upright attitude, the man's expression and tone improved a little. He put his long arm on the chair behind her and said, "I went to the group today. Do you want to come over for an internship during the winter break?"
Chen Zhan didn't expect that he still remembered this matter. No wonder he asked her to go to the company for no reason today. He put down his chopsticks and said honestly: "Maybe not during the winter vacation."
Zhou Jingyu pursed his lips slightly, his voice nonchalant: "Give me a reason?"
Chen Zhan sighed, spread his hands and said, "You know my family. Ms. Xu has to work, and my grandmother is still recovering from her illness. I finally have a day off, so I must stay at home and can't go out every day."
Zhou Jingyu really couldn't refute this reason. After all, the little girl was sensible. He pinched her neck and said, "Let's talk about it during summer vacation."
Chen Zan nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
If my grandmother wasn't sick, she really wanted to go to Rongtou for an internship. Internship opportunities in large groups are quite rare.
——
On the weekend, Xu Anan went home to accompany her grandmother and stayed at her house for two days. She also took Chen Jiaohua out to play for two days, one day for shopping and one day for an outing. Chen Jiaohua was very happy.
Chen Zhan naturally stayed at home for two days. Seeing that she was staying at home honestly, Xu Anan deliberately teased her, "Mr. Zhou must really want to strangle me to death, right?"
After all, she occupied Chen Zan's time for two days.
Chen Zhan curled his lips slightly, "No."
Xu Anan didn't believe it: "Really?"
Chen Zan didn't say anything.
Well, it's fake.
Zhou Jingyu asked twice in one day whether Xu Anan had left. The resentful tone in his voice almost overflowed the screen. He was just short of asking whether he or Xu Anan was more important.
Of course, Chen Zhan couldn't answer this fatal question, so he just asked him in a polite tone: "Mr. Zhou, are you angry again?"
The man sneered and hung up the phone on her.
It's rare to see a Mr. Zhou who is so childish and stingy.
Of course, she wouldn't tell Xu Anan about this.
But Xu Anan was shrewd and immediately guessed something was up. She slumped to her knees, "You can't blame me, that's all. Ever since my dad found out about your relationship, he's been telling me every day to curry favor with you and improve our relationship. The only ones who'll benefit is our Xu family, and he'll double my pocket money."
He said it half complaining, half helplessly.
Chen Zhan: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou is not such a stingy person."
Xu Anan showed a half-believing and half-doubting look, "Zhanzhan, you still know too little about men."
Chen Zhancai refused to listen.
As a result, just after the final exams, when Xu Anan was still thinking about staying at her home for two days, she received a call from her father, asking her to intern at the family company and work on a project during the winter vacation, otherwise she would not have any pocket money for the New Year.
Xu Anan turned around and complained to Chen Zhan indignantly, "Zhou Jingyu, he must have said something to my dad behind my back. He's definitely taking revenge on me for monopolizing your time last week!!!"
