When Zhou Zhilan was almost done eating, she ran to the front desk to pay the bill on the pretext of going to the bathroom. Unexpectedly, the cashier refused to take the money no matter what she said. Later, a man who looked like a manager came and said respectfully: "Hello, lady, this is how it is.
Mr. Huo's bills are always settled by a dedicated person, so you don't have to pay them.
Zhou Zhilan pushed the card over and explained again: "I am treating you today and it has nothing to do with Mr. Huo."
The manager still smiled politely, "It's the same thing... If Mr. Huo finds out about your checkout here, we should be punished."
"No, I will make it clear to him." Zhou Zhilan didn't expect that this store was actually related to Huo Lingxiao, and she was slightly surprised. But no matter what, today's bill must be paid, and she didn't want to owe Huo Lingxiao another favor. Rich family
It's as deep as the sea. It's okay to have a casual relationship with such a person, but if you really get entangled with him, you may not be able to escape safely in the future.
"This..." The manager was extremely embarrassed, "Or... you can make it clear to Mr. Huo now?" [
What Zhou Zhilan said just now was just a cover, but the manager actually said that, and she was embarrassed for a moment. At the moment of stasis, Huo Lingxiao had already come over, "What's wrong?"
When Zhou Zhilan saw someone calling him out, she lamented in her heart, but after thinking about it, she said seriously: "Huo Lingxiao, we agreed that I would treat you today as a thank you, but -"
Huo Lingxiao looked at the manager's expression and the bank card in Zhou Zhilan's hand and understood, "Sister Zhou, it's just a meal, don't worry about it. I am a man, there is no reason for a girl to treat you."
Zhou Zhilan insisted on paying the bill, "But I am obviously the host today. Please tell the manager."
Huo Lingxiao frowned, must she draw the line so clearly? "Even if I invite you this time, won't it be the same next time if you invite me? Senior Sister Zhou, there are many people behind here waiting to pay the bill——"
Zhou Zhilan looked back and saw that there was a queue of four or five people behind her. She occupied a cashier counter, and there was only one front desk lady collecting money, so her movements were naturally slower.
The manager and several waiters looked at them with curiosity. Zhou Zhilan thought about Huo Lingxiao's identity and it was indeed inappropriate to be serious here, so she had no choice but to take back the card, "Let's wait until we have the opportunity in the future..."
Zhang Xinran also had enough to eat and drink, and came out with their clothes and handbags. When she saw the scene at the front desk, she curiously asked: "What are you doing? Are you rushing to pay the bill?"
Huo Lingxiao smiled and said, "Nothing...I've eaten now. Then go back to school?"
Zhou Zhilan smiled stiffly, glanced at Zhang Xinran, took the coat from her hand, and said to Huo Lingxiao: "Well, go back to school, please."
"Sister Zhou, are you too polite?"
"Isn't it strange that there are so many people offering gifts?" She said with a hint of a smile but not a smile.
The atmosphere along the way was quite awkward. When they arrived at the Q University graduate student apartment downstairs, Zhou Zhilan got off the car with Zhang Xinran, said goodbye to Huo Lingxiao and entered the dormitory door. Watching the car drive away, Zhang Xinran asked: "What about eating?
Son, what happened?"
Zhou Zhilan sighed and told the whole story. The two looked at each other, and Zhang Xinran sighed: "It seems that this Huo Lingxiao is not simple! Do you know his family background?"
"I don't even pay attention to him, so why should I care about his family background?"
"I'll check it out online later." Zhang Xinran noticed it and marveled, "I've known a lot of people from high-ranking officials since I was young, but I haven't seen many of them from wealthy families. What's more, he's very talented and handsome.
Extraordinary rich young man!"
"You are just bored! Be careful of the jealous one in your family!"
"The one in my family is not like the boss, who is like being soaked in jealousy all day long!" Zhang Xinran analyzed her opinions while going upstairs, "Today during dinner, I deliberately talked about you and the boss to observe his reaction.
.I found that there is nothing strange about others! I think the boss is overthinking it?"
Zhou Zhilan glanced at her, "Do you think so too?" [
"Yes. Anyway, when I helped you share your happiness, I saw that the expression on his face did not change. Either this person is not interested in you, and he treats you as a senior sister or teacher; or, this person is too sophisticated and too good at it.
Pretend, we are no match for him!" Zhang Xinran joked again, "Actually, if you didn't have a boss, this would be a really good opportunity! A wealthy young master!"
Zhou Zhilan said silently, "Tch", "If you are tempted, go ahead! The environment at his home may be very complicated!"
"That's right...I guess, he might be an illegitimate child. He was taken back later. Now he might be fighting for power with his family, so he came to the independent school in city B, under the guise of studying, but he was actually doing it secretly.
To increase their power, um... or to take charge of their family's business in City B?"
"..."
"Lan Lan, do you think that's true? The more I think about it, the more it seems like it!" Zhang Xinran's thoughts were out of control and she became excited.
"You have read too many romance novels!" Zhou Zhilan rolled her eyes and persuaded her earnestly, "Please, can you read more Chinese and foreign masterpieces and the essence of Chinese culture? Watch less bloody romances!" Zhang Xinran loves to follow popular TV series.
,besides
One of her hobbies is to read romance novels. Although Zhou Zhilan occasionally reads romance novels, most of the time she is too busy and wants to relax her nerves. She really cannot agree with her good sisters' approach of treating romance as spiritual food.
"Hey! You can't despise romance novels! Let me tell you, I'm still writing romance. I don't want to be a civil servant or a teacher. I want to be a freelance writer and romance novelist! Hum hum,
How carefree
Yes! Wherever Song Kaige's work is assigned in the future, I can follow him there with my computer! Wow, how wonderful..." Zhang Xinran held a bag containing daily necessities, waiting for Zhou Zhilan to open the door of the dormitory, looking up to the sky.

Zhou Zhilan didn't want to talk anymore, opened the door and went straight into the house. [I brought my computer with me when I went out, so I will update it three times today!]
