Because all of a sudden, the dinner for two people became four people, so Xu Xingguang canceled the place he had specially booked for Lin Ziyu and found a new place, although it was a random place, but the grade was not low, Lin Ziyu only felt pain after taking a look at the menu, fortunately he didn't pay for it himself, otherwise, he could eat his basic salary for these two months after this meal.
Lin Ziyu ordered a few dishes that he liked to eat and then gave the menu to Xu Xingguang, Xu Xingguang handed the menu to Zhan Lin, but Zhan Lin felt that this menu was like a hot potato, and the two of them competed against each other, why did they pull their subordinates over to suffer.
"Mr. Chu, let's have some of it, I'm not a picky eater. Zhan Lin politely pushed the menu in front of him to Chu Duchun.
Chu Duchun saw the menu in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Zhan Lin, and said with a smile, "Today is Mr. Xu's treat, you are so polite, but you will suffer, I have never advocated extravagance and waste." Chu Duchun glanced at Xu Xingguang after speaking, then closed the menu and said to the waiter on the side, "Just give me the best specialties of your store, and I also need a bottle of wine that is good for the old age." โ
When Lin Ziyu heard Chu Duchun's words, she widened her eyes and looked at Chu Duchun, isn't it, such a man who slaughters himself, even if Xu Xingguang can afford it, but Lin Ziyu is still a little distressed about the money now.
"Brother Chu, I heard that the wine in the general restaurant is not particularly authentic, or you go to my house another day, I will personally make wine for you to drink, the taste is similar to that old wine, my father is a good hand at winemaking, this time osmanthus should be blooming, I asked my father to make osmanthus wine for you." โ
The waiter on the side heard Lin Ziyu say this, and hurriedly explained, "This young lady, you can rest assured that the wine in our hotel is guaranteed to be an authentic treasure, and our hotel has been operating with the word "integrity" since it opened, so you can rest assured." โ
Lin Ziyu pursed his lips and looked at Chu Duchun, at this time Xu Xingguang took Lin Ziyu's hand, smiled faintly and said, "What are you doing? It's not that I can't afford to spend this little money." He glanced at the waiter and said, "Just do as the gentleman says." โ
The waiter nodded, with a smile on his face, he could get a lot of money even if he just got a commission on drinks today.
Lin Ziyu bit his lip and looked at Xu Xingguang and whispered, "Now your money is my money, the consumption here is so high, we should go to a slightly lower place, isn't it obvious that Brother Chu is going to kill you?" After Lin Ziyu finished speaking, he saw Chu Duchun's eyes on himself and Xu Xingguang, and then raised his head to look at Chu Duchun and said, "Brother Chu, you are too unkind, you are so heavy as soon as you make a move, and you are not afraid that we will be scared away by your meal if we want to invite you to dinner in the future." โ
"You miser, I took care of you and Jingnan for so many years when I was abroad, and you felt distressed when you slaughtered your man, Zhan Lin, you have to take a good look at what kind of person your boss is. Chu Duchun didn't have the slightest hint of anger, and looked at Lin Ziyu with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.
Zhan Lin, who had been trying his best to reduce his sense of existence on the side, was named by Chu Duchun again, and was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said with a sad face, "This is also human nature, human nature." โ
Both sides are the presidents of large companies, and one is their own boss, neither of them is someone they can offend, although their surface is very peaceful, but Zhan Lin still feels the surging in the dark, as long as he says a little wrong, isn't he a cannon fodder?
Zhan Lin regretted very much that he was going to die today, and he would come to such a dinner with him, and it was estimated that everything he ate would cause him to be constipated.
Lin Ziyu saw Zhan Lin's restraint, coughed lightly and said, "Brother Chu, this is a problem between me and you, it's not good that you actually involve someone else to come in, besides, Assistant Zhan doesn't know how to answer your question, aren't you trying to embarrass him?"
Xu Xingguang glanced at Assistant Zhan, and then moved his gaze to Lin Ziyu, Lin Ziyu was still so protective, because one of her staff made a mistake when she was in Xu's before, Lin Ziyu immediately rushed up to protect her subordinates like a hen protecting a chicken.
"Assistant Zhan, don't feel any discomfort, there are people here that you are familiar with, as for me, you should treat me as Ziyu's family. This is the first time Xu Xingguang has said anything other than work to Zhan Lin.
Zhan Lin couldn't help but glance up at Xu Xingguang, feeling that the person in front of him was not as terrifying as rumored, "Thank you, Mr. Xu." โ
After Xu Xingguang said this, the atmosphere in the air changed slightly, as if Chu Duchun was an outsider among the four people sitting there, Chu Duchun smiled faintly to hide the displeasure in his eyes.
Lin Ziyu retracted his gaze, glanced at Xu Xingguang, and then looked at Chu Duchun, at this time, the waiter brought the dishes, and no one spoke at the table.
Occasionally, Lin Ziyu and Xu Xingguang were discussing other things in a whisper, Zhan Lin glanced at Chu Duchun and saw that Chu Duchun's face was not abnormal, but it was not as Mu Chunfeng as before, and quickly lowered his head, he really shouldn't have come with him today. He was caught in the middle and was about to lose his digestion.
Finally, the meal was over, Zhan Lin breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Xingguang took Lin Ziyu and left straight from the hotel, Zhan Lin didn't want to trouble Chu Duchun, after all, he was also abused by Lin Ziyu and Xu Xingguang's dog abuse for an afternoon.
"Mr. Chu, I ......"
Before Zhan Lin's words could be spoken, he was interrupted by Chu Duchun's words, "What kind of person do you think Xu Xingguang is?"
Zhan Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape being asked this question, "I don't know what kind of person Xu is, and we don't have many opportunities to get in touch." โ
"Tell me the truth, don't worry about my feelings. Chu Duchun glanced at Zhan Lin lightly, and then said.
Zhan Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he wouldn't be stupid enough to tell the truth, Chu Duchun was the boss of his boss, and he used to be his direct boss, "Mr. Chu, in fact, what kind of person Mr. Xu is is not very important, is it?"
Chu Duchun squinted his eyes slightly, glanced at the direction where Xu Xingguang's car left, nodded and said, "Indeed, what kind of person he is has nothing to do with me." "He just needs to know that Xu Xingguang has the dirty blood of the Xu family in his body.
After leaving, Lin Ziyu glanced at Chu Duchun, who was still standing motionless on the side of the road, pursed his lips and said to Xu Xingguang, "Brother Chu has been targeting the Chu family for a long time, why don't you tell me?"
"It's a business thing, and you're working at Degree Zero, so I don't think it's necessary to tell you about these unpleasant things. Xu Xingguang's eyes looked straight ahead, as if he didn't care at all about the small actions that Chu Duchun had made behind his back during this time.
Lin Ziyu pursed her lips and looked at Xu Xingguang's face cautiously, "Then do you know why Brother Chu is targeting the Xu family?"
"I don't know this question very well, Ziyu, can we talk about other things when you are with me, don't always mention other men in front of me, I will feel uncomfortable in my heart. โ
Xu Xingguang said this lightly, and turned his eyes from the road to look at Lin Ziyu.
Lin Ziyu stared at Xu Xingguang tightly, but after hearing his words, he withdrew his gaze and lowered his head and said, "Brother Chu seems to have some grievances with your grandmother, and the bankruptcy of the Chu family back then may also be something that Old Lady Xu did to get out of it." โ
Xu Xingguang's hand holding the steering wheel tightened slightly, but soon relaxed, "I don't know about this, but the means in the shopping mall are nothing more than those, but as far as I know, the reason why the Chu family went bankrupt was that their chairman was addicted to gambling and owed a huge amount of debt, and took out the Chu family's shares as collateral." โ
Lin Ziyu didn't know about the Chu family, but Chu Duchun's hatred for the Xu family was true, "Do you think it will be your grandmother......
"Okay, let's not talk about that, I don't want you to be with me thinking about other people. I'll take care of that. You can rest assured. โ
Hearing Xu Xingguang say this, Lin Ziyu didn't continue to ask, only pursed his lips and nodded.
Seeing that Lin Ziyu was not talking, Xu Xingguang glanced at Lin Ziyu and retracted his gaze, what Lin Ziyu said just now was not without any truth, but those were all old things, even if his grandmother really used any means to deal with the Chu family, then he could only blame the Chu family's inability to manage the Chu family at that time.
Lin Ziyu knew that there was a difference of opinion between himself and Xu Xingguang, after all, this matter involved Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu was one of the few relatives of Xu Xingguang in this world, even if this happened to her, Lin Ziyu would be very hesitant and would choose to stand by the side of her relatives.
"I bought gifts for the old lady and your aunt, and I don't know if they will like the things they used to like in seven years. Lin Ziyu didn't want the atmosphere between himself and Xu Xingguang to be too stiff, so he smiled and said to Xu Xingguang.
"Grandma's favorite things haven't changed much, as long as you bring Jing Nan back, even if you don't buy something for her, I think she will like you very much. As for the woman, you know I don't know anything about her. โ
Lin Ziyu nodded, Xu Yufeng's status in the Xu family has not improved after so many years, I don't know if she will also target herself when she comes back this time, now that Lin Jingnan is back, Lin Ziyu can't do everything as desperately as before, even if it is a Xu Yufeng who has opinions about herself, Lin Ziyu must be cautious.
