Qin Zhao chatted and laughed with them for a while before walking up to Han Junche, glaring at him through gritted teeth: "I shouldn't have drunk your blood back then!"
Upon hearing this, Han Junche raised his eyebrows slightly: "I never do business at a loss."
"Ha!" Qin Zhao sneered, "You'd better be prepared to drink yourself into a stupor."
Han Junche raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, his face full of provocation: "Don't worry, the room next door has already been prepared for you, and I'll move you there later."
Although Qin Zhao was away from the capital for half a year, his legend still lingered there. When people talked about infected people and the zombie king, the first person they thought of was Mr. Mei, and the second person they thought of was him.
After all, without his initial initiative to approach them, there wouldn't be the harmonious coexistence between the infected and the uninfected today.
As for Han Junche, needless to say, he is now the second Mr. Mei. In the capital, his reputation and prestige are on par with Mr. Mei's.
Everyone knows that the empire will be under his leadership from now on.
These two grown men, who are already ranked first or second in the capital, are now childishly competing with each other, exchanging harsh words and refusing to back down.
In the end, Chi Xia rolled her eyes at them both and said, "Childish!"
The two men each snorted and temporarily ceased fighting.
Given Han Junche and Chi Xia's current status, they already have people specifically in charge of their food and daily life. It's not that they've become arrogant or spoiled because of their high status, but rather that they are genuinely too busy.
More importantly, the entire capital city, and even the entire empire, will be under their jurisdiction in the future, and their health status is no longer just a matter for themselves.
But today, Han Junche personally cooked, with Li Han and him in charge of the cooking, while Chi Xia, Chunli, and Ran Zhu assisted. For a moment, it felt like going back to a year ago when everyone had made plans and started their journey from Jiangnan to the north.
The only difference was that Han Junche cooked.
When the table was laden with food, Lin Yi exaggeratedly wiped away non-existent tears from her face: "It's been so long! In my lifetime, I've finally eaten a meal cooked by the boss himself for the second time!"
Wang Erlong and Wang Dalong were also wiping away tears dramatically: "This time, we're not just mooching off our sister-in-law's meal; we're finally worthy of her."
Wang Dalong happened to be sitting next to Han Junche, who gave him a flick on the forehead: "Eat more and talk less."
As it turns out, the idea of eating more and talking less is not true.
Han Junche had already prepared two cases of baijiu (Chinese liquor), which he had Liu Daniu carry out from the house. He then provocatively raised his chin at Qin Zhao: "Ready?"
The only response he received was a haughty snort from Qin Zhao.
Chi Xia also prepared a case of low-alcohol fruit wine for the women to drink.
As they drank, the men began to talk in a more risqué way, so the four women, including Chi Xia and Zhang Xin, simply left the outside to these men and went inside. They sat together intimately, snuggling together and chatting about women's everyday life while drinking.
It's been a long time since I've had such intimate and relaxed days.
As the only unmarried person present, Ran Zhu's love life attracted everyone's attention.
Chi Xia smiled and asked, "How are things going between you and Chen Yu?"
Upon hearing this, Ran Zhu's face, already flushed from drinking, turned even redder, and she called out coquettishly, "Sister Chi."
"Don't be shy," Chunli said with a smile. "It's normal for men to marry and women to be married when they're of age. Besides, you and he are colleagues now, haven't your feelings progressed even a little bit?"
