My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Finally, at Li Yuxuan's suggestion, he and Zhou Qizhen decided to work here today and not go back at night.

The most unhappy person was Lin Lin. She had finally gotten away from the sight of her elders at home and could finally relax and have fun. It was like a dream, but then a bolt of thunder shattered her dream!

Come on! And here comes the one she fears the most.

"Didn't you say you had some friends outside? Call them over to play together!" After hearing what Li Yuxuan said, Lin Lin glared at him. Why did he involve the sisters in being monitored as well?

Li Yuxuan was speechless. Why would this kid act so rudely towards him?

"Why are you glaring at me? If you have the guts, glare at him!" He pointed at Zhou Qizhen.

"Humph!"

"What? You don't want to play with us? Your uncle and I have turned down social engagements to be here with you two. You little heartless thing, it's so nice to be in this private room, it's so noisy outside."

"There are delicious foods outside, but I have to bring them here. It's inconvenient."

Li Yuxuan picked up the tablet on the sofa and handed it to her. "Just tell me what you want to eat and order from it. Someone will bring it to you. Whether it's free or at your own expense, just order as much as you want. Your uncle will pay for it today. Is that okay with you?"

"Why didn't you say you'd pay?"

Li Yuxuan laughed angrily, "You damn kid, I'm not as rich as your uncle."

Zhao Jia and Zhao Zhizhi originally didn't want to come. Zhao Jia has always been a little intimidated by Zhou Qizhen's aura, and Zhao Zhizhi refused to agree when he heard that he would be playing with the famous President Jiang Heng.

But she couldn't stand Lin Lin's coquettish behavior and said that if the two of them didn't go, then it would be just her and Xiao Qiao who would have to face the big devil. She also said that if they didn't go, it would be a lack of friendship.

When Zhao Zhizhi saw the so-called President Jiang Heng, the man who helped Lu Xiaoqiao at the entrance of Haicheng Hotel, he felt terrible.

What a shocking secret he had discovered. He suddenly understood why a CEO who was so busy with all kinds of affairs still had time to come here and see the "child".

Zhou Qizhen was not surprised when he saw Zhao Zhizhi coming in. As early as the morning of the second day after their first meeting in Haicheng, all of Zhao Zhizhi's personal information was placed on his desk. After confirming that their relationship was indeed as Zhao Zhizhi said, he let Secretary Ding, who was waiting for instructions nearby, go out with peace of mind.

When everyone arrived, Li Yuxuan said that since there were so many people, they should play poker. After dividing into two groups, he explained the gameplay and rules. The groups were decided by drawing lots. In the end, Lu Xiaoqiao, Zhao Jia, and Li Yuxuan were in one group, and Zhou Qizhen, Zhao Zhizhi, and Lin Lin were in another group.

The bet is that the losing group will give the winning group a hand-peeled hairy crab.

While the cards were being shuffled, Lin Lin used her tablet to order some fruit and had it brought over. After ordering, she regretted it and said, "Oh no! I can't eat hairy crabs after eating fruit." Then she consoled herself, "It's okay if I eat less!"

Li Yuxuan scoffed, "How do you know your group will win? I thought our group was destined to win."

Lin Lin said proudly, "My uncle is in our group."

She was not bragging. Her uncle had never lost at a card game. His brain was like a sophisticated computer and he could easily remember where every card went.

Li Yuxuan shook his head and pretended to feel sorry for her, saying, "Haha! What a pity! After all, we have Lu Xiaoqiao in this group."

Lin Lin didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and was interrupted by the card drawing just as she was about to ask.

Lin Lin didn't understand, but Zhao Zhizhi understood it completely during the card game.

The two groups were sitting alternately, Zhao Zhizhi was sitting below Lu Xiaoqiao, while Zhou Qi was sitting above Lu Xiaoqiao. Mr. Zhou could obviously have won by playing a big card, but he played the smallest card to pave the way for his sweetheart.

It's as if he has eyes. No matter what his sweetheart wants, as long as he has it, he will give it to her, even if it means taking apart the cards, just to make her smile.

He didn't dare to say a word the whole time and just ate Zhou's dog food in silence.

Let him win, his girlfriend can also take advantage of the opportunity to eat the hairy crab meat peeled by hand. Fortunately, the couple split into two groups and did not lose all, otherwise they would have lost a lot.

By noon, the winner was decided.

Lu Xiaoqiao was obviously very excited. "Who among you three will peel the crab for me?"

Li Yuxuan said, "I want to eat the ones peeled by Lin Lin today."

After he said that, Lin Lin rolled her eyes.

Zhao Zhizhi glanced at Zhou Qizheng and said hurriedly: "I must have served my girlfriend."

Lu Xiaoqiao looked at Zhou Qizheng and said with a smile, "Then Mr. Zhou, I have no choice but to serve you. Sorry, you should be mentally prepared for a while. I can eat eight of them."

After a morning of getting used to each other, the few of them had already blocked out the gap of seniority that usually stood between them, and they spoke more casually.

Zhou Qizheng raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile evident in his deep eyes. He then threw away the cards he was playing with and said softly, "I accept the loss. It's my honor to serve you."

A few people used a tablet to select some dishes from the menu and ordered twenty hairy crabs. There was only one bathroom in the private room, and Lin Lin had not come out yet. She said she wanted to wash her face to get rid of the bad luck she had lost. Zhao Jia also wanted to go to the bathroom, so Zhao Zhizhi accompanied her out.

When they walked out the door and passed a deserted place, Zhao Zhizhi looked back. After making sure no one could hear him, he lowered his voice and said to Zhao Jia, "Did you see that? Xiao Qiao is quite impressive! She can even take down such a big shot."

Zhao Jia was confused. "What do you mean?"

Zhao Zhizhi wanted to be more tactful, but was afraid that his straightforward personality wouldn't make her understand, so he simply said, "It's this Mr. Zhou who likes our Xiao Qiao."

"You fart."

"Which bubbling eye of yours is that?"

The scolded Zhao Zhizhi complained, "Don't disbelieve me, I'm telling you, the last time I went to Haicheng to look for you, I saw that he looked at Xiao Qiao with a strange look in his eyes. I wanted to ask you about it, but then I forgot."

Zhao Jia still didn't believe it and rolled her eyes at him. "Lin Lin and Xiao Qiao were classmates. They helped each other a lot in school. The Zhou family elders all liked Xiao Qiao. We all know this. If you don't believe me, ask Momo."

Seeing that she still didn't believe him, Zhao Zhizhi sighed and said, "Can you and Momo together make up 250? If President Zhou doesn't like Xiao Qiao this year, I'll cut my head off and let you two kick it around like a ball."

"Get lost! What do I need your head for!"

"Forget it, forget it. I won't say anything more. If you don't believe me, just watch it for yourself. You'll understand if you observe it."

When the two returned, the staff had already served the dishes. They sat down in the seats reserved for them. Lu Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "You three crab peelers, eat something first and then work. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll collapse from exhaustion later."

After they finished their meal while chatting and laughing, they peeled crabs for their respective servants. Lu Xiaoqiao was happy to eat the crab meat, but when she was asked to eat the crab meat that Zhou Qizhen handed over, she still felt a little embarrassed.

“I really eat it!?”

Zhou Qizheng lowered his eyes and smiled, "Is there still something fake to eat? But I can only eat three at most, it's too cold."

"Ah? Then I'm at a loss, I can usually eat eight at most." Then he chuckled, his eyes glittering with cunning, "Boss Zhou, are you trying to be lazy?"

"You can keep it for now, and I'll peel it for you when you want to eat it." Zhou Qizhen himself didn't realize how doting his words were.

After dinner, Zhou Qizhen asked someone to bring over a pot of tea. This action made Lu Xiaoqiao feel the difference between him and herself and her friends, because only people of her father's age would like to drink tea.

Lin Lin said she wanted to watch a movie, and because it was a projector, she turned off all the lights in the room.

Fortunately, the sofa was spacious and long enough. Although it was a little crowded for several people to sit on, it could accommodate them all. When they sat down, Lu Xiaoqiao realized that Zhao Jia was sitting on his left just now, but why was it Zhou Qizhen now?
