The Chinese restaurant is closed today and is only responsible for entertaining their group.
Wang Cuilian nudged her husband with her elbow and said, "This restaurant looks really high-end. I've never eaten at a restaurant like this before."
Li Min also looked very nervous. She coughed twice and tried to straighten her back. "Don't look around. You're making fun of others. And keep your voice down. Loud noises are not allowed in high-end restaurants like this."
The waiter who arrived heard this and smiled gently, "Gentlemen and ladies, there's no need to be too restrained. Since you are all brought by Mr. Fu, you are all our distinguished guests."
"Hey, hey, hey, thank you so much for troubleing you." Li Min thanked him repeatedly. This honest man had never been treated like this before and rubbed his hands embarrassedly.
Wen Shouren glanced at Fu Shenzhi meaningfully: "Mr. Fu is the one who truly has absolute power in the capital now."
Fu Shenzhi lowered his eyes and said, "Teacher Wen, I am sorry for the trouble. I will never forget your teachings."
Wen Shouren said, "Today is Zuo Yatou's birthday, and she just got discharged from the hospital. It's a good day, and I, an old man, don't want to say anything to spoil the fun."
Wen Shouren's face was very serious, and his tone was a little heavy: "Fu Shenzhi, since you call me teacher, there are some things I must say. You have gone too far in the past three months. I was the one who chose you. Don't make me choose the wrong person."
Fu Shenzhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, covering up the many emotions surging in his eyes, leaving only a silent silhouette.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was tense for a moment. Wang Cuilian quickly interrupted with a laugh, "Uncle Wen, look at what you're saying. You should just lecture him privately. Why would you say it publicly? Wouldn't that embarrass Xiao Fu?"
Old Lady Yang also spoke up to save the situation: "I am the oldest, so I am just taking advantage of my age. I am in charge. Let's eat first. Pick up your chopsticks. Today is the birthday celebration for the girl. No other irrelevant words are allowed. Anyone who says anything will be punished."
Wen Shouren also realized that what he did today was a little inappropriate, and his tone softened a little: "Okay, okay, listen to Old Lady Yang, let's eat, it's Wen who spoiled the fun."
However, there was always a thorn stuck in my heart, stuck in my throat, unable to move up or down.
Wen Shouren knew what kind of person Fu Shenzhi was. He was a radical but manipulative madman, a clever but vicious power-grabber. That was why he refused to cooperate with Fu Shenzhi in the first place.
After getting to know Zuo You, Wen Shouren finally saw another side of this man, the softness and affection hidden beneath his sharp exterior.
Wen Shouren had lived for most of his life and suddenly wanted to take a gamble. He wanted to trust Fu Shenzhi once.
Because the situation in the capital was very chaotic at that time, and various forces were ready to move, no one except Fu Shenzhi had the courage and ability to take power.
Fu Shenzhi is the only choice, but not the best choice.
Wen Shouren sighed. It was true that Fu Shenzhi had secretly helped him reach the pinnacle of power, but by then Fu Shenzhi's power had already matured and was no longer restricted or bound by him.
This man has reached a point of immense power, wielding all the power to call the shots. If he were to go astray, the consequences would be irreversible.
If this is true, then Wen Shouren is also a sinner.
Wen Shouren knew that he was old, but he hoped that he was not so old that his eyesight was blurry and he misjudged people.
Because of Wen Shouren's warning words, everyone felt a little awkward and uncomfortable at the beginning of the meal. But after three rounds of drinks and everyone was full, the slightly awkward atmosphere dissipated easily.
While eating, Wen Tong asked Zuo You in a low voice: "Ayou, you, what are you going to do about the college entrance examination..."
Zuo You was happily chewing on a chicken drumstick when she heard this and said nonchalantly, "Oh, I probably have to repeat a year too. I've already missed the registration deadline."
Wen Tong exclaimed, "Ah!" "How could this happen?"
After Zuo You finished eating a chicken leg, he went to grab another one slyly. Just when he stretched out his hand halfway, someone hit the back of his hand with chopsticks.
Fu Shenzhi mercilessly took the chicken leg from her chopsticks and gave her another piece of green pepper and spinach: "You just got out of the hospital, don't do stupid things, and eat less greasy food."
Zuo You: ...
Zuo You, while bitterly eating her vegetables, replied to Wen Tong, "It's okay, it's just one more year of study. And I can accompany you for another year, isn't that good?"
Wen Tong stammered twice, not knowing how to answer. She was indeed happy that Zuo You could stay with her.
Wen Tong felt that her happiness was too selfish, so he lowered his head in shame.
Someone put a piece of stir-fried spinach and green peppers in the bowl. Wen Tong looked up in surprise and saw Zuo You winking at her.
Zuo You didn't seem to notice her unusual mood at all, and whispered to her in a low voice, "Help me share the burden, this vegetable is so disgusting."
Looking into Zuo You's clear and smiling eyes, Wen Tong suddenly found her own entanglements particularly funny.
Why should she torture herself by worrying about something that Ah You doesn't care about?
She should be grateful, not guilty, that Zuo You could stay with her for a year.
Wen Tong's heart suddenly became clear, and he pursed his lips and smiled softly.
Meeting Ayou is really the luckiest thing that has ever happened to her.
The dinner was coming to an end, and after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they took out the gifts they had prepared for Zuo You.
Li Min and his wife gave Zuo You a big box of local specialties from their hometown. The couple was from Northeast China, so they packed bacon, glutinous rice balls, sticky bean buns, and brown sugar cakes in boxes. When all the boxes were stacked up, they were more than one person tall.
