My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

When Lu Xiaoqiao was about to get off work, she received a courier. The address showed that it was sent from her hometown in Northeast China.

When she opened it, she saw that they were all local specialties from her hometown that she usually liked to eat. Lu Xiaoqiao divided these specialties into four parts, muttering to herself who they were for.

"Who is this for?" Lin Lin asked, pointing to a copy placed nearby.

Of course it's for your dear uncle, but of course you can't say that. Lu Xiaoqiao couldn't think of anything and just said, "It's for a client."

Lin Lin said "Oh" without any doubt.

During lunch, Zhao Jia made an excuse that she and Qin Momo were busy that evening and couldn't spend Lu Xiaoqiao's birthday with her! Could they make it up to her tomorrow night? In the end, Lin Lin had no choice but to compromise, and Lu Xiaoqiao gave Zhao Jia a grateful smile.

After get off work in the evening, Zhou Qizhen picked up Lu Xiaoqiao, and the two went to the Cantonese restaurant that Lu Xiaoqiao had chosen last time.

She had been here once before and fell in love with the food after tasting it. She had previously mistakenly believed that Cantonese cuisine was just dishes cooked in plain water. No one told her that the most important thing about Cantonese cuisine is that the ingredients must be extremely fresh so that the taste can be unique.

The two arrived at the restaurant. Since Zhou Qi was on a business trip and his return time was uncertain, he did not reserve a private room, so the two could only sit in the hall today.

We ordered boiled chicken, honey-glazed barbecued pork, roasted pigeon, a vegetable dish, and finally a special foie gras.

When the dishes arrived, Zhou Qizheng picked up a piece of foie gras and put it on Lu Xiaoqiao's plate. "The foie gras here is not authentic yet. Try it first. If you like it, I'll take you to a French restaurant next time."

Lu Xiaoqiao tasted it and said, "This is delicious. I've never had goose liver before and didn't know it had such a smooth texture. And this white-cut chicken is delicious too. You really know how to eat. I didn't know Cantonese food was this good."

Zhou Qi was looking at Lu Xiaoqiao tenderly, and his stern face softened. Seeing that she was eating happily, the corners of his mouth also turned up. There was no trace of his usual seriousness and majesty in the company.

Zhou Qi was so busy picking up food for her that he didn't even have time to eat a few bites himself. Lu Xiaoqiao reached out and picked up a piece of white-cut chicken for him and put it on his plate. "You should eat quickly too! From now on, I'll just follow you. I'll eat whatever you eat. I think everything you recommend is delicious."

Zhou Qizheng couldn't help laughing and imitated Lu Xiaoqiao's speaking style: "Just follow your preferences. We'll eat whatever you want. In fact, I can also join you."

Lu Xiaoqiao stretched out her index finger and waved it a few times: "No, no, no, from now on, when it comes to eating, you must not follow my taste. With your stomach, if you follow me, you will go hungry nine times out of three days."

Zhou Qizhen couldn't help but chuckle, but this was also rare. Only when he was with the girl in front of him did his heart feel filled and relaxed. It was a pure joy. There was no intrigue in the business war, only the simple happiness brought to him by this lovely girl in front of him.

The two of them ate while chatting and laughing.

Just when we were chatting happily, several people in black suits walked hurriedly into the restaurant.

It was not difficult to see that the man walking in front wearing gold-rimmed glasses was their leader. After coming in, he glanced around the restaurant. When his sight fell on Lu Xiaoqiao's table, the man's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly led the group to the dining table.

He bent slightly, his face attentive, and whispered, "Mr. Zhou?"

The two people who were eating sweetly were suddenly interrupted. Zhou Qizhen frowned slightly and glanced at the man who was standing beside their dining table with a slightly bent waist.

Seeing that Zhou Qizheng didn't say anything, the man introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, my last name is Wang Tao, and I'm the general manager of Hongfa Shopping Mall."

Zhou Qizheng looked unhappy: "So?"

Wang Tao smiled flatteringly, then continued as if unintentionally being treated coldly: "It's like this. I knew you were having dinner here, so I rushed over immediately. I know you're usually very busy, but I really hope that Mr. Zhou can give us Hongfa a chance. I'll bring my team..."

"Mr. Wang." Zhou Qizheng interrupted him coldly with a sullen face.

After a moment, he continued, "I don't talk about work in my personal time. If you have something to do, you can go through the normal appointment process."

Wang Tao smiled awkwardly. He also wanted to go through the normal process, but the problem was that he couldn't! He couldn't even get through Jiang Heng's door.

Today I finally got a chance. I met my brother-in-law when he came here for dinner. It happened that he had met Zhou Qizhen before. He knew that my brother-in-law had always wanted to meet Zhou Qizhen, but he could only sigh in despair.

Thinking that tonight was an opportunity, I quickly contacted him.

"Mr. Zhou, you..."

Zhou Qizhen raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.

Wang Tao was unwilling to give up. If he couldn't reach a cooperation agreement with Jiang Heng this time, he would have no choice but to give up the company he had run for many years. Could he really let such a good opportunity go to waste? But the man in front of him had made up his mind, and he could do nothing about it.

Knowing that things had come to this, I felt several years older in an instant, and my slightly bent back seemed to have been crushed by reality and could no longer be lifted up.

When Fang was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to feel a pair of eyes staring at him. He looked up and saw a pair of sympathetic and clear eyes looking at him.

Wang Tao was also observing Lu Xiaoqiao, and at the same time, he glanced at Zhou Qizhen sitting opposite her. He knew that Zhou Qizhen had never been married, and he had never heard of any arranged marriage partner, but who was the girl in front of him?

When he just came in, he saw Zhou Qizhen's meticulous actions and expressions towards the girl, but at that time his mind was completely focused on the cooperation and he had no time to care about anything else. The fact that the arrogant Zhou Qizhen could put aside his status and come here to have dinner with her showed that this girl was destined to be extraordinary.

Wang Tao's originally dull eyes suddenly brightened up, as if he saw bright stars in the endless darkness.

His tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, a sincere smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Lu Xiaoqiao and said, "This... is Mr. Zhou's wife, right?"

Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned and quickly looked up at Zhou Qizhen who was sitting opposite her.

Not to mention Lu Xiaoqiao, even Zhou Qizhen was stunned when he heard his words just now, then raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Wang Tao saw that his bet had paid off, and with a relieved smile, he immediately said to the two people sitting there, "Mrs. Zhou is so young and beautiful, with a graceful demeanor. Standing with Mr. Zhou, they are truly a match made in heaven..."

Lu Xiaoqiao was so embarrassed she didn't know what to say. Seeing Zhou Qizheng didn't say anything, she didn't know what to say either. But what was wrong with this man? He had seemed a little old, humble, and pitiful just a moment ago, but how could he have suddenly changed his face and become a flatterer?

Zhou Qi was looking at Lu Xiaoqiao. Seeing that her cheeks had already turned red because of Wang Tao's words, he knew that this was already the limit.
