Chapter 81: Chapter 78 After all, where are there family mbers whose nas we don’t even know, right? Chapter 81: Chapter 78 After all, where are there family mbers whose nas we don’t even know, right? Chen Xixi noticed that Zhou Jinyuan’s mood was off. She tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a smile that seed very well-behaved, and she didn’t dare stop the motion of waving her flower-adorned hand, “Don’t smile like that, it kind of scares when you do. We agreed not to be angry, rember?”
He withdrew his gaze and turned to look out at the Jiang City night scene through the floor-to-ceiling window, speaking lightly, “You go ahead and eat first.”
“You haven’t told your na yet.”
“Tell you when you rember it.”
Chen Xixi stared at Zhou Jinyuan’s cold, indifferent profile, and suddenly, she put down the chopsticks and the large porcelain bowl in her hand, leaning her head closer to Zhou Jinyuan, “I rember now.”
Zhou Jinyuan then turned his head back, raising an eyebrow, “Hmm?”
Chen Xixi tilted her head, speaking very seriously, “You are so handso, I think I will call you Handso Zhou from now on, how’s that?”
Zhou Jinyuan paused for a mont, not saying a word.
Then, as he turned his head away, he chuckled softly.
Although it was just flattery, it didn’t stop him from finding it a bit pleasant to hear.
Lu Wenling and Han Qianyi had been drinking all along, and by the ti the dinner was over, Han Qianyi was a bit drunk, her cheeks flushed, yet her eyes appeared quite clear.
Han Qianyi still rembered her mission from the organization, to get Chen Xixi drunk, but she felt incapable.
And the other task of packing up leftovers… she felt a bit embarrassed to do so.
She had never packed leftovers when dining out and didn’t know why, but it felt sowhat shaful, as if the waitstaff or other people would look at her strangely.
Maybe she should wait for the sponsors to leave, turn off the cara, and then pack up secretly?
As she hesitated, Chen Xixi took out the plastic bag she had asked for from the waiter just before entering, and looking at Zhou Jinyuan and Lu Wenling, she blatantly waved her flower hand and asked, “Can I pack up now?”
Lu Wenling’s face showed no disdain, he smiled especially amiably and said, “Of course, if it’s not enough, we can order more!”
Chen Xixi: “It’s enough, there are still several dishes we haven’t touched, ordering more would be wasteful.”
Then Han Qianyi watched as Chen Xixi swiftly dumped the untouched dishes into the plastic bag.
Zhou Jinyuan watched Chen Xixi’s movents, suddenly asking, “Why not use a takeaway box?”
Chen Xixi answered honestly, “There’s a charge for the takeaway box.”
She felt it was not worth spending money on a few takeaway boxes, and using a plastic bag wasn’t inedible, although it might look less classy. Since it was just for her own consumption, she didn’t care about appearances.
In the end, it was Zhou Jinyuan who had the waiter pack them up again, including the cost of the takeaway boxes in the sponsor’s bill.
Chen Xixi smiled and nodded her flower-adorned hand in thanks. Zhou Jinyuan then glanced at the ti on his watch and said, “I have a eting next, I will have my driver take you guys back.”
Han Qianyi politely smiled, “There’s no need to bother President Zhou, you go about your business, we can manage on our own.”
Zhou Jinyuan’s gaze swept over Han Qianyi and finally rested on Chen Xixi, “It’s too late, it’s not safe.”
Chen Xixi cautiously asked, “The show crew won’t think I’ve broken the rules because I took your car, right?”
The last ti Chen Xixi took Zhou Jinyuan’s car, her reason for getting in was that they weren’t familiar.
But today, for this al, she had used up all her sweet words, even going as far as to say that they were acquaintances, like family, so Chen Xixi had to make sure just to avoid any big misunderstandings.
Zhou Jinyuan: “Don’t worry, they won’t.”
Just as Chen Xixi relaxed, she heard Zhou Jinyuan’s voice co again, this ti with a teasing note, “After all, where’s the family who doesn’t even know each other’s nas? What do you say?”
Chen Xixi, waving her flower hand, smiled awkwardly, “Don’t say that, tell your na once more, I will definitely rember it! Plus, I’ll rember it so deep down that even when I pass away, even if my bones turn to ashes, I assure you your na will still be there!”
Zhou Jinyuan rose to his feet unhurriedly, just watching her for a few seconds, without a word.
[Oh my gosh, even the ashes ca up, Chen Xixi’s way of chatting is truly unique! Sounds like soone who’s perennially single and tough as iron!]
[President Zhou’s na is Zhou Jinyuan, right? I find this na quite charming. How co Chen Xixi didn’t rember it! President Zhou must be unhappy now, I feel like Chen Xixi is dood!]
[When Chen Xixi finally kicks the bucket, if there’s an episode of “Approaching Science” without Chen Xixi, I won’t even watch it!]
[Chen Xixi really takes the opportunity to take away leftovers wherever she goes!]
[Didn’t Zheng He give Han Qianyi the task of packing up food? Why hasn’t Han Qianyi started packing yet?]
Zhou Jinyuan did not tell her his na even after leaving the private room.
Chen Xixi pursed her lips. He’s tall and big, but quite petty, it seems.
But nothing could really trouble her.
She walked over to where Lu Wenling was just getting up and asked with a fluttering hand gesture, “President Lu, I accidentally forgot President Zhou’s full na, could you tell what it is?”
Lu Wenling, hands in his pockets, laughed casually: “Ah, just call him Boss Zhou, that’s fine.”
“…”
Is President Lu thinking she’s dying too slowly, so he wants to grant her a quick death?
After Lu Wenling spoke, he suddenly raised his eyebrows with interest and said, “But…I know a nickna that works wonders. Use it, and I guarantee his soul will soar.”
Chen Xixi furrowed her brow, curiously asking Lu Wenling, “What nickna?”
Lu Wenling looked at her mysteriously, “It’s sothing to be understood, not explained. Figure it out yourself.”
Chen Xixi really couldn’t figure it out, “…Can you give a hint?”
Lu Wenling shook his head, “Nope.”
Chen Xixi’s curiosity was already piqued, and she urgently said, “I could watch a thirty-second comrcial, even a minute-long one would be fine!”
Seeing her strong desire to learn, Lu Wenling kindly gave her a hint, “Just think about the nicknas that n love to hear.”
“The nicknas that n love?” Chen Xixi murmured.
Could it be… tycoon? Handso guy? Boss?
Other than these nicknas, which could boost a man’s ego, her overly simplistic thought process couldn’t think of any better ones.
Forget it, I’ll think about it next ti we et.
When Chen Xixi and Lu Wenling were leaving the private room, Han Qianyi turned off the live stream cara, asked the waiter for complintary plastic bags, and packed up the remaining food.
Throughout the process, she acted as if she were a thief, incredibly guilty.
Outside the private room, Zheng He saw the plastic bags in Han Qianyi’s hand and frowned, “I saw Chen Xixi carrying boxes, why are you carrying plastic bags?”
Han Qianyi quickly stuffed the bags into Zheng He’s hands, “As long as it’s edible, it’s fine.”
This was her stepping out of her boss’s comfort zone, and Zheng He was still being picky, which was really annoying!
Moreover, only a few could be as thick-skinned as Chen Xixi, packing up food in front of a sponsor.
Thank goodness Zhou Jinyuan had arranged a car for the ride back, otherwise they would have had to walk again.
All because the stingy production team didn’t provide a car for the return trip.
Back in the village, before the scatterbrained Jin Cheng could figure out what his Uncle might have planned or when the food would be delivered, he first received bad news from the production team.
Qian Yue approached Jin Cheng, “According to the count, you missed saying ‘666’ in response to 89 statents tonight, so now you owe the production team 89 Money. How do you plan to handle this?”
Jin Cheng: “!!!” How could he have forgotten about this?
He asked, “Is there any chance for to pay off this debt?”
