Chapter 209 President
Shao Xingchu figured it out: this young man from the Zhou family was probably interested in her. She had met him many times, and although she didn't know him well, the person she knew from her father and brother was completely different from the one in front of her now.
Her father and brother both said that the head of the Zhou family was aloof, cold, and unapproachable. But she couldn't see any unapproachability in him. The way he spoke to her best friend so gently would make anyone else in the circle doubt that it was him.
"Let's go eat together, I'll treat you to something delicious." Xiao Jiu touched her empty stomach. After walking around with them, she was really hungry. Zhou Yanchuan saw her subconsciously touching her stomach and figured she must be hungry.
“I know a really good place nearby, shall we go there?” Zhou Yanchuan asked Xiao Jiu, who then looked at the three girls beside her. They all nodded when she looked at them.
They had no objections; after all, they were in charge of the food, so it was fine as long as the person who was treating them didn't mind.
Seeing that they had no objections, Xiao Jiu agreed to Zhou Yanchuan's suggestion. Anyway, she didn't have any good places to take them to eat. If it were just the four of them, they could eat whatever they saw, but there was also Brother Zeyi.
You can't take someone to a roadside stall for their first meal together, can you? And his clothes don't really match the hot pot either. It feels like an elder taking a younger person out for fun. But considering his seniority, he does deserve to be called an elder.
"Chu Chu, who is this person? You have to call him Uncle." Meng Wanning and Lu Shuhe felt a little embarrassed. They didn't know this person very well, and besides, he was Jiu Jiu's friend.
They each took one of Shao Xingchu's arms, and the three of them walked behind the two, leaving space for the two of them.
"Well, I can't explain it to you in detail. I can only say that you've all read the novel, right? He's the kind of CEO male lead you see in novels." Shao Xingchu thought that these two weren't locals, and given their status, they wouldn't have any contact with Zhou Yanchuan's circle.
She told them that he was in charge of the Zhou family, and they might not have understood what kind of status the Zhou family held, but after she explained it to them, it became much easier for them to understand.
In romance novels, the male protagonists who are CEOs are all outstanding individuals with wealth and power. By putting themselves in that shoes, they can understand Zhou Yanchuan's true identity.
"Now that you mention it, I understand a little better. A domineering CEO who's rich, powerful, and good-looking, right?" Lu Shuhe was a seasoned novel enthusiast, and once she put herself in that position, she knew what Zhou Yanchuan represented.
"Yes, you could say that. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. We won't have much contact with him. If we do, it'll be because of Jiu Jiu, so there's nothing to worry about."
Shao Xingchu realized that this person was probably pursuing her best friend, but given her best friend's dull and unresponsive nature, she figured the chances of it working out were slim.
It wasn't that she didn't think highly of him; it was just that she felt her sister was exceptionally good and no one could be worthy of her. However, looking at Zhou Yanchuan in front of her, dressed in a formal suit and carrying shopping bags, she felt his attitude was somewhat acceptable.
"Does this guy like Jiu Jiu?" Meng Wanning and the others weren't like Jiu Jiu, who was clueless about relationships. Anyone with eyes could see that Zhou Yanchuan had feelings for Jiu Jiu, and he was probably pursuing her.
"See? You guys figured it out too. Guess if Jiu Jiu figured it out?" Shao Xingchu wasn't surprised at all that her two roommates could see through Zhou Yanchuan's thoughts.
She felt it was strange that no one could tell.
“I don’t even need to guess to know that Jiu Jiu doesn’t know what he’s thinking.” Lu Shuhe felt that this was not difficult to guess at all. Given Jiu Jiu’s obliviousness to feelings, she thought that if the other party didn’t confess, she probably wouldn’t even think of this.
"With Jiu Jiu's blockhead-like nature, if you expect her to see through it, you'll probably wait until the flowers wither before it even happens."
Meng Wanning also didn't think highly of Jiu Jiu, but so what? They wouldn't actively help him expose this fact. Whether the two of them were together or not didn't affect them.
"You're carrying so much, do you want me to help you carry two of them?"
Xiao Jiu felt it wasn't quite right for Ze Yi to carry all these things, so she thought she should help carry a few herself. That's one of the downsides of this world—you can't just store things in your spatial storage; you have to carry them by hand.
"This is nothing, don't worry, it won't tire me out, I'm not that weak," Zhou Yanchuan said with a slight smile, his eyes softening as he looked at Jiu Jiu.
He realized that his actions had made her feel inadequate; she was helping him with such simple clothes, and if the men in the live stream knew, they would laugh at him to death.
"I didn't say you were weak. I was just thinking of helping you out. We're all empty-handed, and you're carrying a lot of stuff. I can't live with myself saying that." Xiao Jiu rolled her eyes at the man next to her. She hadn't said he was weak.
How can men's pride be so fragile? They can always pick up on hidden meanings in each other's words. She's read this saying before: it's not that a man can't do it, but in other words, it means a man can't be doubted about his ability.
“When you go out with a girl, you can’t let her carry your things. If you want to help me, then you can take the car keys out of my pocket for me in a bit.” Zhou Yanchuan didn’t know what the girl was thinking, but he found the way she glanced at him incredibly cute.
He was certain that their brainwaves were not on the same frequency. In other words, what he just said was definitely not the same as what she heard and understood. But so what? She was just too cute.
"Did you drive here yourself? Shouldn't CEOs like you have drivers? The kind of private drivers who are always waiting for you wherever you go?" Xiao Jiu wasn't an ordinary person. Although the three of them were some distance away from her at first, she still heard their whispers.
“I can drive myself, and I have a driver too. If you want your driver to drive, that’s fine too.” Zhou Yanchuan originally brought his driver, but after seeing Jiu Jiu, he told the driver to go home after get off work, leaving the car behind.
He got his driver's license after he turned eighteen and drives quite steadily; he doesn't need a driver to wait on the side for anything.
