The atmosphere at the dinner table became lively with Jiang Zhou's joining.
Zhou Fengxia enthusiastically used the serving chopsticks to pick up food for Jiang Zhou, but was stopped by Yu Bai.
"Mom, let Mr. Jiang pick what he likes."
Zhou Fengxia then gave up.
Yu Nian poured Jiang Zhou a cup of tea somewhat stiffly, as if he had something to say.
Jiang Zhou actually took off his invisible armor.
He was indeed hungry.
The high-speed journey from the capital to the cloud drained all his energy.
After the ring that Yu Bai gave him exhausted all its energy on his cousin Jiang Yin and turned into an ordinary platinum ring setting, fatigue came like a tide, hitting his nerves wave after wave.
After getting off the plane, he didn't even go to visit Professor Li Baizhong, but drove directly to Yu Bai's house.
At this moment, the chopsticks in his hand hardly stopped.
Zhou Fengxia's cooking skills are not top-notch, they are just the most ordinary home-cooked dishes, but every bite carries an indescribable, fresh vitality.
The power slid down the esophagus into the stomach, then spread to every part of the body, dispelling deep fatigue.
"Mr. Jiang, eat more."
Seeing Jiang Zhou finish two bowls of rice, Yu Nian quickly served him a third bowl, piling it up to the top.
Yu Bai took in his third brother's rare attentiveness and restraint, and understood what he meant.
She glanced at Jiang Zhou. He had slowed down his eating and was obviously almost full.
The time has come.
Yu Bai put down her chopsticks, and the crisp clinking sound attracted the attention of everyone at the table. She looked at Jiang Zhou and said calmly and directly:
"Mr. Jiang, regarding my third brother's supermarket, I wonder what you think..."
These words made Yu Nian straighten his back instantly and hold his breath.
Jiang Zhou was not surprised by this.
He raised his head, without a trace of surprise in his eyes.
He knows better than anyone how strong a man's career ambition is.
The business blueprint he described at the dinner table the day before yesterday was an irresistible poison to any ambitious man.
Yu Nian was obviously poisoned.
Jiang Zhou put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up a tissue, and wiped his mouth slowly.
This action, like a silent switch, instantly switched the atmosphere at the dinner table from "family dinner" to "negotiation".
"I will also include the supermarket matter in the scope of cooperation."
His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority.
"As for the specific positioning, decoration plan, and management model, I will ask my team to produce a detailed plan, and we will discuss it together when the time comes."
The words were spoken.
Yu Nian's eyes suddenly lit up, and that light, like a flame that had been suppressed for a long time, finally broke through the shackles and burned fiercely.
He clenched his fists almost subconsciously, his lips trembling slightly with excitement.
Done!
This is no longer a supermarket, it's a ticket to a new world!
Looking at his third brother's ecstatic expression, Yu Bai couldn't help but smile slightly.
The joy of seeing her family break free from their previous life's fate and embark on a completely different path was more real than any benefit she could gain herself.
The atmosphere in the room reached its peak because of Jiang Zhou's words.
At this moment, Jiang Zhou turned his gaze to Yu Bai, and there was a hint of solemnity in his calm eyes.
"Miss Yu, do you have time to chat alone?"
He paused and added, "There are some things I want to discuss with you."
Yu Bai nodded decisively.
"good."
She was just about to hand over the hundred kilograms of mutant seeds to him.
Jiang Zhou stood up and said, "Let's talk in the car."
Yu Bai had no objection and followed him out of the courtyard.
Zhou Fengxia and Yu Nian followed to the door and watched the two people get into the black car parked in the night one after another. The headlights came on and then disappeared into the darkness.
Inside the car, the leather seats block out the chirping of insects from the outside world, leaving only the subtle "hum" of the engine.
Jiang Zhou didn't say anything, just drove the car, skillfully turned around on the narrow village road, and drove towards the village entrance.
The car finally stopped by the river at the entrance of the village.
Jiang Zhou turned off the engine, and the whole world suddenly became quiet. He unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed the door, and got out.
“Click.”
With a slight sound, the metal cover of the lighter popped open, and a cluster of orange flames danced in the night, illuminating his well-defined profile.
He lit a cigarette.
The scarlet light flickered in the dark night, like a struggling heartbeat.
Yu Bai sat in the car, quietly looking at Jiang Zhou's back.
He leaned against the front of the car, puffing out a cigarette, his posture revealing an unspeakable fatigue and heaviness.
She knew that something was wrong with Jiang Zhou.
Moreover, it is a far more important and more difficult matter than the supermarket planning case.
He wanted to tell her, but he didn't know where to start.
The time it takes to smoke a cigarette is the process of him building a psychological defense for himself.
Finally, the scarlet spot was crushed under his feet.
Jiang Zhou opened the car door and got back in. A faint smell of tobacco mixed with the cool night breeze rushed into the car.
"Miss Yu, have you seen an old movie?" He spoke, his voice a little hoarse, "It's called 'Long Day's Journey Into Night'."
Yu Bai was startled.
She didn't expect that the first sentence he said would be this.
Jiang Zhou didn't wait for her to answer and continued talking. His eyes were cast at the dark river outside the car window, as if he was watching a silent movie.
"There's a mother in the movie, a woman who is tortured beyond recognition by illness. To relieve the excruciating pain, she becomes dependent on morphine."
