Chapter 83 Jealousy
"There are so many, Ah He, you are so awesome!" Lin Jinyi was so excited.
She believed that her brocade workshop was doing very well from Kyoto to Qizhou City, but she had never sold so much in one day.
During this period, the two of them were in contact almost every day because of their cooperation and were often together. Lin Jinyi discovered that Xu Shuhe was only half a year older than her, so she refused to call Xu Shuhe Mrs. Chen anymore and just called her Ah He Ah He.
"It's not just my achievement, it's your hard work as well." Xu Shuhe was also happy from the bottom of his heart, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "Last time you were the host, this time it's my turn, let's go out for another good meal!"
Lin Jin's eyes sparkled, "Okay, but let's go to another place this time. I heard that Juxianglou is also a time-honored brand."
"Okay, just eat whatever you want, I'll pay!" Xu Shuhe raised his hand and patted his chest.
The two were feeling happy when Chen Zhi's voice came from the side.
"Still drinking?"
Turning around, he saw Chen Zhi looking at the two of them calmly, but there was an inexplicable sense of pressure from a patriarch in his eyes.
Thinking of the embarrassing drunken incident at Jinzun Tower last time, the two girls smiled awkwardly.
"No, we won't drink this time. Let's just eat." Xu Shuhe said.
Lin Jinyi also nodded quickly.
In fact, Chen Zhi really didn't want to ask Xu Shuhe to drink, but now he heard that he really wasn't going to drink, he still felt a little disappointed.
After all, the experience last time was really good.
Of course, in the end, your health is what matters, and no matter how good the wine is, you should not drink too much.
After the three of them cleaned up the scene, they drove to Juxianglou.
I'm exhausted after being busy all day today, and I'm really hungry now.
In addition, Chen Zhi also took the lead and paid some money to let Manager Zhou take the masters and employees who helped today to have a good meal.
The money given was sufficient, and the employees working below were also very happy.
For ordinary people, eating in a restaurant is a rare thing throughout the year, not to mention that today you don’t have to spend any money as the host pays for everything.
Xu Shuhe also took the opportunity to encourage everyone, saying that as long as they worked hard, the store's business would be booming and such gatherings would be a must in the future.
For a time, everyone was full of energy and hoped that the store would get better and better.
Juxiang Tower.
The three of them used tea instead of wine, and after drinking a cup together, they sat down and started to eat.
Lin Jinyi enthusiastically put food into Xu Shuhe's bowl.
"Ah He, you are such a wonderful woman. I have followed my father all my life and have met many people in the business world, but none of them have as many ideas as you. It's a pity that I am a woman. If I were a man, I would definitely marry you."
"cough."
Chen Zhi's light cough interrupted Lin Jinyi's words.
Lin Jinyi took back his hand that was holding the food, turned around and looked at him, and said with a chuckle, "Boss Chen, don't be nervous. I'm not really a man. I'm just saying if, if."
These words sounded full of sarcasm, but unexpectedly Chen Zhi did not blush.
Instead, he calmly put another piece of food into Xu Shuhe's bowl with his chopsticks and spoke softly.
"My wife loves to eat beef. This beef casserole is a specialty of Juxianglou. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
"thank you."
Xu Shuhe felt a little uncomfortable hearing this title.
Usually, both of you call each other "you and me".
Today, Xu Shuhe looked up at Lin Jinyi and guessed that there were probably outsiders present, so he called him more intimately to make the couple seem to have a harmonious relationship.
But as the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see clearly.
Lin Jinyi knew what was going on and said with a grin, "Would you like some dumplings? I think there's enough vinegar." After this reminder, Xu Shuhe reacted and glanced at her helplessly.
"Eat, stop making trouble."
And a man whose heart was stabbed blinked his eyes unnaturally twice, hiding his feelings.
After dinner, the two groups separated.
As usual, Chen Zhi arranged for Zhang Ping to escort Lin Jinyi back.
Originally, Lin Jinyi said no, after all, he was not drunk today.
But Xu Shuhe also said that it would be better to let Zhang Ping see her off, as it was different at night than during the day, and it would be bad if something happened to a girl.
Seeing that the couple insisted, Lin Jin had no choice but to agree.
Actually, although on the surface it seemed that she only brought two personal maids with her, in reality, she was secretly followed by several skilled secret guards.
It was arranged by Lin Jinyi's father.
As she is the only precious daughter, she is naturally protected in every way.
Of course, these are just other things to say. Now, everyone goes back home.
In the carriage, Lin Jinyi's personal maid Xianyun said.
"Miss, are you really not considering marriage now? I see that Mr. Chen and his wife are loving and harmonious, and they are not bad at all."
"Yes, young lady. Last time you and Madam Chen got drunk in Jinzun Tower, Boss Chen came to pick up his wife and arranged for a servant to escort you. Today he is so considerate again. It shows that there are still good men in the world. Although young lady has met some men with bad intentions before, she can't throw the baby out with the bathwater."
Another maid, Yusuo, also followed suit.
Xianyun sighed, "Mrs. Chen is only half a year older than you. She got married this year, but you haven't even settled down yet. You will be eighteen next year, Miss."
"So what if I'm eighteen? Ah He said that eighteen is the age when a girl blooms. It's just the beginning. I won't settle for marriage just because of my age. My parents love me so much, they don't want me to compromise myself for marriage and just follow some stinky man."
Facing the worries of the two maids, Lin Jinyi held his head high, not panicking at all, and full of pride.
In fact, if it were before, she would have said this on the surface, but she was still worried about her marriage in her heart. However, after being with Xu Shuhe for this period of time and listening to Xu Shuhe's advice, her mind has really become open-minded, and now she no longer worries about getting married.
After listening to her words, Xianyun and Yusuo looked at each other and realized that their girl had thought it through. Although they still didn't want to wear it, they didn't try to persuade her any more.
At the same time, on the other side, Chen Zhi and Xu Shuhe, who were described by the two maids as a harmonious couple, just arrived home.
Chen Zhixian got out of the car, turned around and supported Xu Shuhe again.
With more opportunities to spend time together, Xu Shuhe got used to the other's support when getting out of the car, and gently put his hand on it.
However, this time, after helping her get out of the car, Chen Zhi had no intention of letting go. Instead, he held her hand and walked forward.
Xu Shuhe was stunned and didn't move for a while.
Sensing her stagnation, Chen Zhi turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
The man's voice was warm and gentle, and his eyes were calm and composed.
It seems that it is a very common thing for two people to walk together holding hands.
Although this had happened before, it was rare after all, and Xu Shuhe was still not used to it.
But facing Chen Zhi's eyes at this moment, the words of rejection were stuck in his throat. He moved his lips but didn't say anything.
Finally, he just shook his head and said, "Nothing, let's go."
Hearing this, Chen Zhi's lips curled up slightly. He took her hand and slowly walked towards Fuyunju.
Xu Shuhe raised her eyes quietly, looked at the smile on Chen Zhi's face, and suddenly felt touched.
But she soon suppressed it again.
The two of them returned to Fuyunju quietly, hand in hand.
