Extra Chapter 2: Meeting the Rival



Zhao Qin got home just before dawn. He came by train and was covered in dust. After entering the house, he sat on the sofa to relax for a while, then got up to take a shower and changed into casual clothes, and opened the door on time at 6:30.

Wang Shan walked down the stairs briskly. She had the habit of jogging every morning, which she never stopped except in bad weather. She was surprised to see Zhao Qin standing at the door.

"Brother Zhao, when did you come back?"

"Last night, I didn't go up because I was afraid of disturbing you."

"Let's go for a run together?"

This was exactly what Zhao Qin was thinking. He closed the door and went downstairs with Wang Shan.

He had been talking business with people all day yesterday and took the train here in the evening. He hadn't rested since then. At the beginning, when he was jogging, he could still keep up. After running two laps, Wang Shan sped up and he became a little tired. Sweat appeared on his forehead and his breathing became heavy.

"Brother Zhao, you are in good health."

Wang Shan teased.

Men hate being told they are not good enough, especially in front of the woman they like. He raised his eyebrows, "Bibi?"

"The limit is two meters, and the loser must agree to one condition of the winner."

"녦为."

Wang Shan won generously.

The two of them got into position and ran forward at the same time. Zhao Qin had the advantage because of his long legs. Wang Shan was willing to lag behind and chased closely, but she still fell behind by a body length in the end.

“I lost!”

Wang Shan was willing to accept the defeat, and she was not happy at all.

Zhao Qin was waiting for her to say this, "I haven't thought of any conditions yet. I'll tell you when I have."

"OK."

Having already won, Zhao Qin decided not to continue accompanying her. He stayed where he was and waited for Wang Shan to finish running. Then they went to buy breakfast together. Zhao Lan hadn't gotten up yet at this time, so they ate downstairs.

After eating, Wang Shan went back upstairs to make preparations. She went to the bank at around 12 p.m. to deposit yesterday's sales of each store, and then went to inspect several stores.

Zhao Qin thought that this deal was very difficult to negotiate. He had been fighting with the opponent for three months but still hadn't won the deal. It was very tiring.

But all these became more serious when he heard that Wang Shan was very satisfied with her blind date. If he lost this business deal, he could still find another one, but he would have to be single for the rest of his life because he had lost his wife.

I slept until most of the afternoon, then got up, packed up and went to the main store.

He hadn't been here for more than three months. The shop assistants in the store greeted him one after another. Zhao Qin nodded in response and said to Wang Shan, "Ask someone to make me a small pot. I haven't eaten for a day."

Completely ignoring Zhao Lan next to him.

Zhao Lan rolled his eyes to the sky. His second brother was a typical person who used people forward and then used them backward.

Wang Shan gave the order and instead of going to the private room, they just found a seat in the lobby. Zhao Qin walked over and sat down. He was indeed hungry.

"My brother has been working very hard to negotiate this deal. It's been three months and he still hasn't closed it."

Although she was very dissatisfied with her second brother, Zhao Lan still spoke up for Zhao Qin. She could only watch her second brother remain single for the rest of his life.

"Then why did he come here suddenly?"

"It's still because of you." Zhao Lan said in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud, "Maybe it's something more important than business."

Wang Shan was a very sensible person, and she never asked questions about things that needed to be asked. After hearing this, she did not ask any more questions, but asked the waiter to serve Zhao Qin two more plates of mutton.

Just after she finished giving the order, the phone rang and she picked it up, "Hot pot restaurant."

Sun Zhe's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm Sun Zhe. I want to go to your place to eat hot pot. Is that ok?"

"Of course."

"I have some things to do, so I will be a little late, but it won't delay your closing time."

"It doesn't matter if it's late. Don't worry."

Zhao Lan was close by, so she naturally heard it. After Wang Shan hung up the phone, she winked at her and asked, "Blind date?"

"Well, he said he would come over for hotpot later."

"Then let me see what kind of handsome man has fascinated our strong woman."

As she spoke, she raised her voice, and Zhao Qin naturally heard it, and he looked over here.

Wang Shan was unaware and was wondering where would be the best position for Sun Zhe to eat.

Zhao Qin retracted his gaze and ate without making a sound. If it were normal, he would let Wang Shan rest and manage the store himself. But today, he didn't do anything and took the account book to look at it.

It was half past seven when Sun Zhe arrived, riding a bicycle. He was tall, handsome, and gentle, and even in ordinary clothes he had an extraordinary temperament.

Wang Shan went up to him, personally took him to his seat, and asked him what soup base he wanted.

"I like spicy food, but if I eat too much, my throat will feel uncomfortable and it will affect my class tomorrow. I'd rather have a mild spicy meal."

The taste is the same as hers, and the two of them can eat together in the future.

Wang Shan smiled and asked the waiter to serve the slightly spicy hot pot.

Zhao Qin saw all this and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhao Lan was watching the show from the side. That man was worse than the second brother. The second brother met a strong opponent this time.

According to Zhao Qin's previous practice, he would have beaten the man up without saying a word. He was impatient to see the man robbing him of a woman. Four years had passed and he was no longer impulsive. Besides, he hadn't figured out the man's background yet, so he was anxious.

While thinking this in my mind, my hands almost tore the account book to pieces.

Sun Zhe came so late, of course, because he came to eat hot pot, he wanted to send Wang Shan back after the meal.

He was very satisfied with Wang Shan, or to be more exact, he liked her a little. He could see that Wang Shan was also interested in him, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation and take their relationship a step further.

Wang Shan also guessed his thoughts, but she was not repulsive. Boys would only be interested in girls if they were really interested. Sun Zhe's thoughts proved that he was interested in her, so she didn't wait until the store closed. At nine o'clock, she gave the car keys to Zhao Qin and said, "Brother Zhao, drive the car back. My friend and I will walk back."

"good."

Zhao Qin didn't see anything unusual on his face and watched Wang Shan and Sun Zhe leave.

"Brother, this seems to be your style."

"Why are you in such a hurry? You will end up eating hot tofu if you are impatient."

Zhao Lan only then believed that he was anxious. If he was anxious, why did he rush over as soon as he received the call and even take care of the business?

The night breeze was blowing, Sun Zhe was pushing his bicycle and walking side by side with Wang Shan. He was good at bringing up topics, and the two of them were still having a great time chatting.

When they got downstairs, the two stopped. Sun Zhe wanted to say something when a car drove over and stopped beside them. Then the door opened and Zhao Qin got out.

He was wearing fitted casual clothes, with a casual manner yet a hint of arrogance, and his every move exuded an elegant temperament.

This man is simple!

This was Sun Zhe’s first impression.

Zhao Qin extended his hand to Sun Zhe, "Zhao Qin, Wang Shan's partner."

Sun Zhe replied to me, "Sun Zhe, a teacher at Huaqing University."

After learning Sun Zhe's identity through a self-introduction, Zhao Qin withdrew his hand calmly, "Wang Shan, it's rare for a friend to come. Come up and sit with us."
