Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 971 So you see I'm in a pretty good mood?

A mistake is a mistake; there's no need to be dramatic.

"So what situations would lead to drinking too much?" Zhou Jingyan asked with a half-smile.

"When I graduate, friends come over, and I get so happy that I drink too much," Su Zhenzhen said honestly.

Over the years, there haven't been many happy moments, after all, the Su family lives here.

I chatted with Zhou Jingyan yesterday, and we had a very pleasant conversation, mostly about studying abroad.

The environment was relatively clean when I returned to my studies, so I unconsciously drank too much.

You should be more careful next time.

Hearing this, Zhou Jingyan was in a good mood: "So you see I'm in a pretty good mood?"

"Of course. How could I not be happy that President Zhou is helping me? Besides, President Zhou and I have common interests and graduated from the same school, so naturally I'm happy." Su Zhenzhen said this without any affectation.

"So we're friends now," Zhou Jingyan said with a smile.

“Yes, for me.” Su Zhenzhen nodded. “But I’m afraid Mr. Zhou might feel that he’s not good enough for me.”

Advance and retreat appropriately.

She had considered both her own attitude and Zhou Jingyan's thoughts.

"It's not that bad," Zhou Jingyan laughed. "Let's eat."

"Okay." Su Zhenzhen nodded. "Thank you for your help last night, Mr. Zhou."

"No," Zhou Jingyan replied.

The two sat at the table and ate.

Perhaps it was because of this feeling that wasn't exactly ambiguous, but rather an indescribable emotion weighing on her heart, that Su Zhenzhen ultimately felt awkward.

So breakfast was relatively quiet.

Zhou Jingyan ate very quickly, but he didn't urge Su Zhenzhen.

Su Zhenzhen couldn't eat quickly, so now that things had come to this, there was naturally no need for her to chase after Zhou Jingyan.

She ate quietly.

Zhou Jingyan waited on the side.

"I'm finished eating." Su Zhenzhen put down her knife and fork and looked at Zhou Jingyan.

This time, before she could finish speaking, Zhou Jingyan asked, "Do you have any plans for today?"

"Yes, meetings. Meetings all day long. In the morning, we finalized the details of tomorrow's charity gala. In the afternoon, I have a meeting at the factory." Su Zhenzhen didn't hide anything.

Zhou Jingyan tapped her fingertips rhythmically on the table without saying a word.

Zhou Jingyan couldn't possibly be unaware of the nature of the charitable organizations and factories under Su Zhenzhen's control.

But since Su Zhenzhen didn't speak, he wouldn't say anything either.

Their relationship hasn't reached that point.

"Then you go ahead with your work." Zhou Jingyan nodded.

Su Zhenzhen wasn't stupid; she could understand the meaning behind Zhou Jingyan's words.

She reacted quickly: "The vice president went to the morning meeting in my place. Basically, if President Zhou is confirmed to attend tomorrow, I won't need to go in this morning. I can bring forward the afternoon meeting. The factory's year-end summary is at the end of the month, and it will be over in a little over an hour. This way, I can free up the afternoon and take President Zhou to Jiangzhou for a visit."

“Okay.” Zhou Jingyan did not refuse.

These words surprised Su Zhenzhen.

However, she quickly called her secretary and rearranged her schedule.

Then Su Zhenzhen looked at Zhou Jingyan: "Is Mr. Zhou waiting for me at the hotel?"

"Mm," Zhou Jingyan replied.

After giving her instructions, Su Zhenzhen got up, grabbed her car keys, and left.

Zhou Jingyan didn't stop him.

Su Zhenzhen's cheeks remained flushed until she left.

What happened last night was somewhat absurd, but it was still within a controllable range.

Zhou Jingyan can be considered a gentleman.

However, Su Zhenzhen was generally aware of Zhou Jingyan's caution in such matters, and he didn't want to cause himself unnecessary trouble.

Su Zhenzhen quickly calmed down.

On her way to the factory, Shi Sheng made a phone call to Su Zhenzhen.

"I saw you and Zhou Jingyan yesterday? You're so efficient!" Shi Sheng asked Su Zhenzhen in disbelief.

Yesterday, Shi Sheng went to a hot pot restaurant with friends and saw Su Zhenzhen there.

She was about to greet them when she looked again and saw that Zhou Jingyan was there too.

Now, Shi Sheng fell completely silent.

I was genuinely a little taken aback by Su Zhenzhen's efficiency.

But Shi Sheng was more surprised than anything else, because in her memory, Zhou Jingyan was definitely not an easy person to deal with.

"How far have things progressed between you two? Have you slept together? Is the next thing you're going to hear about your engagement?" Shi Sheng said, unable to help but sigh.

"Nonsense..." Su Zhenzhen was genuinely amused by the situation.

"What happened?" Shi Sheng became more and more curious as Su Zhenzhen spoke.

Su Zhenzhen didn't hide anything from Shi Sheng and told her what had happened.

Shi Sheng listened quietly, then slapped her thigh: "Zhou Jingyan is interested in you."

"How do you know?" Su Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow. "I couldn't even tell that he was interested in me."

“It’s a back-and-forth exchange. You’re involved, and I’m just an observer. I definitely see things more clearly than you do,” Shi Sheng replied. “Besides, Zhou Jingyan isn’t even aware of you, so there’s no need for all this roundabout talk. If you’re going to show some respect and give him some face, just having He Chen come is enough. You don’t need to do it yourself at all.”

These words quieted Su Zhenzhen down for a moment; she hadn't really thought much of it.

Because her goal was Zhou Jingyan.

"Zhenzhen," Shi Sheng called Su Zhenzhen by her nameless form, "Strike while the iron is hot. I think that's how men and women hit it off, isn't it?"

If someone offers you a way out, you should take it.

Otherwise, this matter will remain unresolved.

"Let me think about it," Su Zhenzhen replied.

It was precisely because things changed so quickly that Su Zhenzhen was caught off guard.

"Zhenzhen, are you really sure you want to be with Zhou Jingyan?" Shi Sheng asked Su Zhenzhen calmly.

Su Zhenzhen remained silent for a long time before answering, "He is the only choice, isn't he?"

There are quite a few people who are suitable for marriage.

However, very few people can meet Su Zhenzhen's requirements.

Zhou Jingyan and Su Zhenzhen were able to hit it off immediately, each maintaining their own personal space.

When it really comes time to separate, we won't be overly sentimental.

Most importantly, Su Zhenzhen knew that she did have a good impression of Zhou Jingyan.

“But I think you two aren’t actually a good match,” Shi Sheng said bluntly.

"Why?" Su Zhenzhen asked Shi Sheng in return.

“You are both too independent. Perhaps before marriage, this pursuit process will make you feel fresh and excited. But once you become husband and wife, I am afraid you will revert to your original nature. You are very smart and have never been love-struck, and neither has Zhou Jingyan.”

“I’m afraid that when the time comes, you’ll be the one who’s worried about gains and losses. In this matter, I don’t think you’re a match for Zhou Jingyan.”

"Zhou Jingyan is really interested in you, but he has ulterior motives. After all, you are not the same as the rich young lady next to him."

Shi Sheng was an observer, so she could see things clearly.

In her view, Zhou Jingyan and Su Zhenzhen had the same goal.

When the goals are the same, they are actually competitors.

Ultimately, there is only one winner, not a win-win situation.

In terms of skill and experience, Su Zhenzhen was no match for Zhou Jingyan, so Shi Sheng couldn't help but worry.

“Shi Sheng, but I have nowhere else to go.” Su Zhenzhen said quietly, “I will try my best to protect myself.”
