The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

"Junior Brother Ziyan, your clothes fit you well. Thank you."

Lu Jingchen did not forget the purpose of his trip. After changing his clothes, he thanked Qin Ziyan and hurried out of the house.

Qin Ziyan didn't have time to reply. He only saw a piece of Lu Jingchen's clothes disappear from his sight like the wind.

Qin Ziyan hesitated for a moment, then chased after him reluctantly.

When he walked out of the room, he looked around but didn't see Lu Jingchen.

Finally, they discovered that Lu Jingchen was in his own kitchen, trying to get close to Old Lady Zhou and her daughter-in-law.

"Grandma Zhou, Aunt Zhou, you guys are really good at cooking. I know it's delicious just by smelling it. A simple bowl of dumplings is cooked to the quality of a restaurant."

"Grandma Zhou, you look energetic and steady, so you must be well versed in the art of keeping healthy."

Old Mrs. Zhou and her daughter-in-law were grinning from ear to ear. This Mr. Lu looked like a son of a wealthy family, but she didn't expect him to be so easy-going.

"Mr. Lu, thank you for the compliment. If you like it, you can eat more later."

Old Mrs. Zhou was smiling so much that the wrinkles on her face became deeper.

She had just heard from Qin Ruo that Lu Jingchen was not only a classmate of Qin Ziyan, but also had passed the imperial examination at a young age.

I will take part in the Spring Examination next year and I have a bright future ahead of me.

"Ms. Qin and Ziyan both call you Grandma Zhou, so you guys should stop calling me Master. It makes you feel uncomfortable. Just call me Xiao Lu."

Lu Jingchen spoke up immediately, his eyes full of accusations and protests.

"Oh, Master Lu, you are now a juren, how can a country girl like me..."

"Grandma Zhou..."

"Okay! Okay! As you say. Then Xiao...Lu, the kitchen is so smoky, you should go out and sit for a while. The dumplings will be ready soon."

Although Lu Jingchen's attitude is easy-going, Mrs. Zhou has deep-rooted class concepts.

The two words "Xiao Lu" seemed to be hot and were spoken unclearly.

Qin Ziyan was stunned. The Lu Jingchen in front of him completely overturned his previous impression.

If I saw it correctly, my senior brother was just... acting like a spoiled child?

In the past, Lu Jingchen was serious and always had a cold and aloof feeling about him.

Now he seemed to be possessed by a ghost, and actually started chatting about family matters with Old Mrs. Zhou and her daughter-in-law.

What made Qin Ziyan feel even more weird was that after coming out of the kitchen, Lu Jingchen immediately started chatting with Qin Zimu and Zhou Erzhu, and they were chatting quite enthusiastically.

Lu Jingchen's former iceberg image instantly collapsed in Qin Ziyan's heart.

Qin Ruo was sorting out the things sent by Xie Fu and others in the room. The other members of the Zhou family had gone back, and only Qin Ziyan and a few others were left outside the yard.

"Um... Senior Brother Lu, do you want to take a break first and come over for a cup of hot tea?"

Qin Ziyan forced a smile and greeted Lu Jingchen who was chatting enthusiastically.

Just then, Old Mrs. Zhou came out of the kitchen carrying the cooked dumplings.

Lu Jingchen raised a warm smile, walked over quickly, and praised Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Bai again.

Qin Ziyan's scalp tingled as he listened, and the expression on his face gradually cracked.

Qin Ruo, who was busy in the house, listened to the noise outside and a smile appeared on her lips.

When I first met Lu Jingchen, he seemed like a quiet person.

I didn't expect that he is actually a social elite. The contrast is quite interesting.

Old Mrs. Zhou said goodbye to Qin Ruo, then went back to the Zhou family with her daughter-in-law Bai, and took Zhou Erzhu, who was reluctant to leave, with her.

While eating dumplings, Lu Jingchen chatted with Qin Ziyan and his brother from time to time.

Qin Ziyan was feeling very uncomfortable and answered Lu Jingchen's questions in a serious manner.

As the sky was getting darker, Lu Jingchen still moved slowly, and it took him quarter of an hour to finish that bowl of dumplings.

"Brother Lu, I see it's getting late, have you asked the driver to pick you up?"

Qin Ziyan spoke tentatively, reminding Lu Jingchen that it was getting late.

"Ah? I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't told me. I was in such a hurry to get here that I forgot to tell the driver. What should I do now?"

Lu Jingchen put down his chopsticks and frowned.

"Brother Jingchen, no...how about you stay at my house tonight?"

Qin Zimu looked at Lu Jingchen's embarrassment and whispered to him to stay.

He and Lu Jingchen had only chatted for a short while just now, and he didn't know how Lu Jingchen managed to make him change his way of addressing him and call him brother.

"Okay, since Zimu said so, I'll stay. I'll squeeze in with Zimu tonight."

Lu Jingchen interrupted Qin Zimu in one breath, as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word.

"Senior Brother Lu, don't listen to my nonsense. My humble abode is simple and I'm afraid I'll wrong you..." Qin Ziyan spoke quickly.

Did Senior Brother agree too quickly? Why did he feel like Senior Brother had always intended to stay at the Qin family?

"This place is nice, no need to say more, let's just leave it at that."

Lu Jingchen waved at Qin Ziyan and picked up the bowl again.

On the contrary, Qin Zimu was very excited when he heard that Lu Jingchen wanted to stay, because he quite liked this brother whom he met for the first time.

When Qin Ruo came out of the house, Lu Jingchen had just finished eating dumplings.

He immediately stood up, smiled and bowed to Qin Ruo: "Miss Qin, I have finished eating. Look..."

Looking at the man in front of him with a somewhat servile smile, Qin Ruo had a subtle expression.

"Okay, I'll make it clear in advance that we'll only play three games."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Lu Jingchen was overjoyed and immediately stood up and ran towards the box he had carried on his back.

Qin Ziyan stared at his senior brother who had just said that he wanted to discuss academic matters with him while eating dumplings. He turned around, took out a chessboard and placed it on the dining table, and made a gesture of invitation to Qin Ruo.

Qin Ruo nodded and took a seat, and Lu Jingchen played the black pieces first.

The two quickly got into the mood.

Qin Ruo and Lu Jingchen have completely different chess styles. Lu Jingchen's style is bold and aggressive, and every move he makes is extremely aggressive.

Qin Ruo, on the other hand, defended steadily and advanced step by step.

At the beginning, Lu Jingchen was confident and acted almost without thinking, and it seemed that Lu Jingchen had the upper hand.

Just after a quarter of an hour, Lu Jingchen's speed slowed down significantly.

Sweat broke out on the tip of his nose, and the chess piece he was holding took a long time to fall.

After he finished thinking, as soon as the black piece landed on the board, Qin Ruo's white piece followed.

Lu Jingchen's chess moves became slower and slower each time.

Looking at the chessboard again, Lu Jingchen's black pieces had been put in danger by Qin Ruo's white pieces and were almost in a desperate situation.

At this moment, Lu Jingchen's concentration formed a sharp contrast with Qin Ruo's careless actions.

The more Qin Ziyan watched, the more frightened he became. He admitted that Qin Ruo knew some chess skills, and thought that the last time she broke Mr. Mingjing's chess game, it was just an accident, or there was some luck involved.

Lu Jingchen, who is known as a child of destiny, is also one of the best chess players. He did not expect that he would be so embarrassed by Qin Ruo.

As Lu Jingchen dropped another piece, Qin Ruo's white piece immediately followed.

"You lose, Mr. Lu."

"Miss Qin, you are good at chess. Come again!" Lu Jingchen bowed and praised, but there was a look of unwillingness to admit defeat in his eyes.

"it is good!"

Qin Ruo smiled faintly and said nothing more.

The first game ended in half an hour and Lu Jingchen lost.

In the second game, after two quarters of an hour, Lu Jingchen lost again.

When Lu Jingchen, whose breathing was unstable, was about to start again, Qin Ruo spoke.

"Mr. Lu, don't rush before the fight. Win by playing it safe. You are distracted. How about we make an appointment for another day?"
