Chapter 268: Chapter 262: President Zhou, Is This Really Not Suffering in Vain?
“Can you really do this?”
Chen Xixi couldn’t help but be skeptical; Zhou Jinyuan really didn’t look like soone who was skilled in cooking.
Zhou Jinyuan frowned as he placed the fish in the sink, staring intently at the fish that had just recently died, “Can’t you have so confidence in your partner?”
Chen Xixi leaned against the door fra, watching Zhou Jinyuan with a relaxed smile, “Does the president of Zhongjing Group also have a diploma from New Oriental?”
Zhou Jinyuan’s eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of confusion in his expression: “New Oriental?”
“A cooking school.”
“No, but you should try to trust .”
“Alright.”
Then Chen Xixi witnessed Zhou Jinyuan clumsily handling the fish.
During the process, Chen Xixi wanted to help, but Zhou Jinyuan refused. However, at the critical mont, he still relied on Chen Xixi’s guidance, and the fish finally made it into the pot after much struggle.
[It’s obvious now, President Zhou really can’t cook.]
[Does this count as President Zhou stubbornly persisting through hardship?]
[The last person who stubbornly persisted was Young Master Jin…]
[He’s even cooking for Chen Xixi, is he a bit too in love with Chen Xixi?]
[Stop joking, apart from being good-looking, what about Chen Xixi is worthy of President Zhou?]
[Exactly, as if President Zhou has never seen a beautiful woman before. The way you talk, it’s like President Zhou has never seen a woman!]
[I think President Zhou joined the show to establish the image of a dostic good man, which is beneficial for stabilizing the company’s stock. Plus, many large corporations like to set up this kind of good man image to harvest the hearts of consurs and investors.]
[A corporation like Zhongjing Group shouldn’t need to bother with such things, right?]
[You never know. President Zhou has just recently taken office, and, according to rumors, he’s not the only son. The wealthier the family, the more complicated. Who knows, President Zhou joining this program might be about building a good man persona!]
[Makes sense, I also feel that stories of a wealthy CEO and a Cinderella are quite unrealistic!]
Regarding the pairing of Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan, a small portion of the netizens were happily shipping them, while the majority felt it was unrealistic, so there wasn’t much of a stir online.
Zhou Family.
Zhen i Qiu sat on the sofa, wearing floral glasses, attentively watching the live broadcast on her tablet.
This kid said he’s not interested in won?
From her decades of experience as a romance enthusiast, Zhou Jinyuan, that brat, obviously seems interested in that girl surnad Chen!
Could it be that when Zhou Jinyuan said that a while ago, he was just trying to avoid a blind date, using it as an excuse to fob her off?
He could just be frank and admit he likes soone; it’s not like she can do anything about the person he likes!
However, as far as she could tell, the girl surnad Chen doesn’t seem to have any interest in her son at the mont.
And this girl… why does she look familiar?
After a closer look, Zhen i Qiu finally rembered—wasn’t this the girl who was on a show with her grandson?
Zhen i Qiu instantly beca curious about the girl.
She quickly pulled out her cell phone and called her grandson who was abroad.
It took a long ti for the call to be answered, Jin Cheng sounded rushed: “What’s wrong, Grandma? Please speak quickly, I still have to go wash dishes soon.”
Zhen i Qiu was taken aback, had her family fallen on such hard tis that her precious grandson needed to wash dishes abroad to make money?
She asked in confusion, “Aren’t you studying abroad?”
Jin Cheng: “Yes, I am, but my uncle arranged three jobs for .”
“That’s outrageous!”
That rascal Zhou Jinyuan is off falling in love, leaving her grandson to suffer overseas!
Jin Cheng quickly spoke up: “Don’t bla uncle, he’s doing it for my good, and I feel very good fighting on my own! It feels like a bright future ahead!
I’ve never had such fighting spirit and clear goals before! I think I lived too comfortably before, which led to a lack of motivation. After participating in the show, I realized I have much to improve. My uncle’s decision to make practice independence in an unfamiliar environnt was absolutely correct.”
Zhen i Qiu felt like Jin Cheng had grown up all of a sudden. She was comforted by the idea that the show was worth it. The young master, who used to only enjoy eating, drinking, and having fun, was now seeking hardship…
It was hard to tell if this was a good or a bad thing.
“Alright, alright, if you can’t handle it, just tell grandma. I’ll have your uncle send you money.”
“Okay, if there’s nothing else I’ll hang up now.”
“Wait a minute…” Zhen i Qiu nearly forgot the real purpose of her call. She quickly got back to the point, “There was a young girl nad Chen Xixi who participated in the show with you, rember her?”
When Chen Xixi was ntioned, Jin Cheng suddenly wasn’t in a hurry to hang up anymore. Unlike his previous urgency, he spoke at a slower pace, sounding very concerned, “I rember, what about her?”
Zhen i Qiu inquired, “What kind of person is she?”
She had never t her, but her dear grandson, who had spent a month with Chen Xixi on the show, should have so understanding of her character.
Jin Cheng generously praised, “She’s extrely nice, not only good-looking but also intelligent, kind-hearted, and has a strong personality. Ordinary people can’t control her; she has her own opinions and is way more charming than those won who only know how to seduce n.”
Zhen i Qiu was sowhat surprised, when had Jin Cheng ever praised soone like this? Besides his uncle, almost never.
Jin Cheng has always been highly selective, barely bothering with ordinary people, let alone praising soone. Even the friends who could hang out with him were few and far between.
It’s either because he finds others dull, or because they talk too much and are annoying, or he dislikes them for only wanting to socialize with him in hopes of getting a ride in his limited edition sports car…
All in all, the people that Jin Cheng approves of, probably can’t be that bad.
“I see, be careful abroad. It’s not as safe as at ho. Call grandma if you run into any trouble, I’ll send rescue.”
After a few more instructions, Zhen i Qiu hung up the phone and turned to instruct the butler standing by, “Go check what Chen Xixi’s family does for a living.”
As soon as Zhen i Qiu finished speaking, a maid walked in at the entrance: “Ma’am, Young Master Xu from the Xu family is here.”
“What’s he doing here?” Zhen i Qiu frowned and muttered.
Before long, the mansion doors opened, and Xu Nianying walked in with a submissive smile on his face: “Auntie.”
Zhen i Qiu greeted him with a smile, instructing the servant to prepare pastries, “Zhou Jinyuan isn’t here, he went to participate in a variety show.”
Xu Nianying: “I know, I ca to see you today.”
“To see ? What for?”
Xu Nianying paused for a mont, then hesitantly spoke, “One of our bars was reported and sealed off a few days ago, and it made the trending topics the next day. I checked into it, and it turned out to be Zhou Jinyuan’s doing.”
A look of surprise flashed in Zhen i Qiu’s eyes, “How could that be? Given the relationship between our two families, our Jinyuan would never do such a thing.”
Xu Nianying sighed, “At first, I couldn’t believe it either, but the evidence is right there. It was indeed Zhou Jinyuan who did it.
I don’t know what I did to offend him for him to target like this…
I haven’t told my father about this yet. If he finds out, future collaborations between our two families might be affected.
Zhou Jinyuan has just taken over the company; if news of discord between our two families gets out, it could create opportunities for troublemakers, which would be very unfavorable for your family’s company.”
