Chapter 90 How to Tame It Like This
This year, the Spring Festival falls on February 15th.
Rongtou Group followed the above adjustments and started its annual leave from the beginning of spring, which lasted about fourteen days. For ordinary companies, this is considered a long holiday. Zhou Jingyu planned to go back around the 28th.
Unexpectedly, the old lady’s birthday party was going to be a grand one in Beijing on that day this year. Everyone said that the old lady was lucky, as even her birthday fell on such a lively day.
Zhou Jingyu had no choice but to rush back the day after the beginning of spring.
At that time, Chen Zan was still living in the countryside, and he got on the plane before he had the chance to meet her.
By the time Zhou Jingyu landed in Beijing, it was already late in the morning. Chen Zhan was still awake, and the two of them spoke on the phone.
"Mr. Zhou, is it snowing in Beijing?" She asked lazily, lying on the bed with the phone to her ear.
It doesn't snow in Rongchuan, so Chen Zan rarely sees snow during the Chinese New Year. He saw a snowstorm when he was a child, but that was just a vague memory.
When she asked this question, Zhou Jingyu had just come out of the airport. His long black coat made him look handsome. The car was parked on the side of the road. The driver from the old house had already gotten out and opened the door for him personally. However, Zhou Jingyu did not rush to get in the car. He looked up for some unknown reason.
Snowflakes had already begun to fall from the sky above the capital, landing on his shoulders. He pursed his lips and said, "It's snowing."
Chen Zhan's eyes lit up with a smile, "Then can you take a picture of me?"
Zhou Jingyu whispered, "Chen Zan, do you want to come and see the snow?"
She asked in confusion, then realized what he meant. Was he inviting her to go to the capital to see the snow?
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jingyu sent her a photo the next day. It showed a thick layer of frost and snow on the magnificent roof of the courtyard house. The servants were sweeping the fallen snow, revealing a corner of the house with carved beams and painted rafters, under which festive lanterns were hung.
Last night, Chen Zan asked Zhou Jingyu to take pictures of the snow for her. At that time, the snow on the roadside had not yet accumulated, so she took pictures for him the next day.
Someone clears the snow every day, so Chen Zan, a foreigner who never sees snow, finds it strange.
Zhou Jingyu sent her a message: "Are you really not coming to see it?"
I don't know whether he was talking about looking at people or looking at the snow.
Chen Zan clicked on the photos over and over again. During the day, Xu Jing and Director Gu came to pick her up and took her back to the city. She felt a little uneasy the whole day.
She had longed for the capital, but her family did not allow her to go there, so from childhood to adulthood, she would sometimes travel to other cities with friends and classmates during holidays, but avoided the northern cities.
Zhou Jingyu's blatant temptation made Chen Zhan's heart beat. Back then, she wanted to apply to a university in Beijing, but neither Xu Jing nor her grandmother would let her go because her biological father lived there.
Hesitantly, he typed, "I do, but it's almost Chinese New Year, and Mom and Grandma definitely don't want me to go far away."
The next second, Zhou Jingyu called. Chen Zhan quickly hid in the house and answered the phone: "Mr. Zhou?"
It was quite noisy on the other end of the phone. After two seconds, Zhou Jingyu probably moved to another place and the conversation became quiet.
The lighter was rubbing the wheel, and Chen Zan knew that he had just been eating and came out to smoke.
He drank some white wine, and his voice came out a little hoarse from the other end of the phone, "Zhanzhan."
Chen Zhan: "Have you been drinking?"
Zhou Jingyu hummed lazily, "They insisted on toasting me. I just got back, so I have to drink."
Chen Zhan smiled, "Mr. Jiang, are Mr. Xie and the others here too?"
In fact, in the noisy background just now, she actually heard someone calling him "Second Brother".
It was just a casual chat, but Zhou Jingyu tutted his words, as if he was dissatisfied with her mentioning other men. "I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss me?"
He always likes to ask this question.
Chen Zhan bit his lower lip and replied softly, "I think so."
Zhou Jingyu chuckled softly, which reached her eardrums. Her face felt a little hot, so she quickly opened the window to cool down.
"Don't catch a cold." The man could hear her movements, "It's winter in Rongchuan, so don't get too windy."
Chen Zhan: "I understand."
I thought, it’s all your fault.
Zhou Jingyu chatted for a while before bringing up what had just happened. "You want to see the snow, right?"
Chen Zhan suppressed the corner of his mouth that was about to rise, "Mr. Zhou, do you want to make arrangements?"
"Well, I'll arrange it."
"But my mother's side..."
"I won't make it difficult for you."
The man coaxed softly.
Zhou Jingyu hung up the phone, looked back at the corridor, and saw several heads popping up in the box.
Jiang Yushan tutted his words lightly, "What did I say? Second brother must have gone out to call his girlfriend."
Others teased.
"Second Uncle, do you really have a girlfriend?"
"When Xie Huaiqian came back and told us, we didn't believe it."
"Where's Xie Huaiqian? Let him come over."
"Hey, Jiang Yushan, what does the girlfriend you're talking about look like? I've never seen a woman around my second brother."
"He's from Rongchuan, right? He's really rare. When can we meet him?"
Today's dinner is to welcome Zhou Jingyu, and many friends and juniors from the circle have come.
They were chattering so noisily that Zhou Jingyu felt they were like sparrows that had become spirits and their mouths should be sewn shut.
He tossed the phone to Zhang Qing helplessly and glared at Jiang Yushan, who was still good at pretending to be innocent. He shrugged and said, "Second brother, it's useless for you to look at me like that. The last time Xie Huaiqian came back, if you hadn't told him to keep his mouth shut, who knows what he would have said about you and Miss Chen."
The others heard it.
"His last name is Chen. It seems Xie Huaiqian didn't lie to us."
"Second Uncle, is Miss Chen going to come to the capital to play? Bring her to us."
"When will Miss Chen come? I'll prepare a gift for her. Can you let me meet her?"
This group of people all grew up in the same compound. Although there is a big age gap between them, they know each other very well.
People are very gossipy about the women who appear around Zhou Jingyu, who has been single for thousands of years.
They were really curious about what the beauty of Rongchuan looked like, as she could make the iron tree bloom.
"Stop asking." Zhou Jingyu casually pushed away the group of heads and said with a smile, "I'll bring him to you guys when I have the chance."
When the others heard this, they started to make a commotion.
Jiang Yushan teased, "Second brother, are you serious?"
Zhou Jingyu said nonchalantly, "For me, there's no such thing as true or false. It's just a matter of whether I want it or not."
Jiang Yushan thought of Chen Zan's docile nature and how he had tamed his second brother into this state. However, it was not easy to enter the Zhou family's door.
