CHAPTER 355: CHAPTER 348: WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE WITH A GULLIBLE DISPOSITION BE CAREFUL ABOUT

The next moment, they heard Zhou Jinyuan say coldly again: "Take your stuff and leave."

Chen Xixi: That’s it, this time it seems like there’s no turning back.

Assistant Xu turned around, his head filled with question marks.

Afraid that President Zhou coveted his excessively handsome appearance, he moved from the villa to the staff dormitory a few days ago and had already moved all his belongings. How could he still have stuff left behind?

Then, under the somber gaze of Zhou Jinyuan, Assistant Xu noticed the pink tie next to the armrest of the sofa.

It was indeed his tie, probably left behind carelessly during the move.

Assistant Xu quickly grabbed the tie and left— if he didn’t, he was afraid even his life would be left behind!

Once Assistant Xu left, Chen Xixi sat down with Zhou Jinyuan at the dining table.

Not only was there the cake that Assistant Xu had just brought over on the dining table, but also meals that the housekeeper had prepared in advance.

Although the meals were indeed lavish, she always felt that for someone of Zhou Jinyuan’s status, their current situation still seemed a bit bleak, lacking a birthday atmosphere.

Chen Xixi asked puzzledly: "Why aren’t you celebrating with your family?"

Zhou Jinyuan began to unpack the cake box, "Do you know what it would be like if I went home to celebrate my birthday right now?"

"What would it be like?"

"Have you ever seen a birthday party that’s also a matchmaking event?"

"No, I haven’t!"

"That’s what it would be like."

Ms. Zhen has been worried sick about his marriage prospects, considering he’s been single since birth for twenty-seven years, this year turning twenty-eight.

He hasn’t even had his first kiss yet, could Ms. Zhen not be anxious?

If he ever brought a girl home, Ms. Zhen wouldn’t be crazy enough to turn every holiday into a matchmaking event.

Just a while ago, Ms. Zhen saw the Lu Family’s boy bring a girl home, and now Ms. Zhen is even more frantic.

"!!!" Chen Xixi’s eyes suddenly widened, radiating with surprise, "Now that you mention it, I kind of want to see it. Can you have another birthday celebration tomorrow so I can see it for myself?"

Zhou Jinyuan bluntly refused: "No. You really love watching the excitement without worrying about the consequences."

Chen Xixi sighed regretfully: "What can I do if I, as a Huaguo citizen, love excitement for life!"

Zhou Jinyuan simply smiled without saying anything.

As Zhou Jinyuan unpacked the cake, Chen Xixi coordinated and picked up the candle to help insert it.

Looking at the age-representing candle, Chen Xixi asked, "How old are you now?"

Zhou Jinyuan said: "Twenty-eight."

Chen Xixi went "Oh" and commented: "Approaching your thirties, if you don’t get married soon you will reach the age considered late for marriage and childbearing. No wonder your aunt is anxious to set up matchmaking events."

Zhou Jinyuan’s eyebrows slightly raised, "Late for marriage and childbearing? Aren’t you approaching that age as well?"

Chen Xixi quickly responded: "I’m only twenty-three, still young!"

Zhou Jinyuan felt like he caught onto something important, leaned back in his seat resting against the chair, arms folded across his chest, and leisurely gazed at Chen Xixi, "Are you implying I’m old?"

How could Chen Xixi admit that: "I never said that."

Being old was her delay, Zhou Jinyuan thought, after all, she had to take responsibility.

Chen Xixi lit the candle and asked Zhou Jinyuan to turn off the lights. The room instantly grew dim, leaving only the weak candlelight flickering on their faces.

Chen Xixi’s eyes curved into a smile, looking at Zhou Jinyuan sitting across from her, and said with a smile: "Birthday boy, please make a wish."

"Let’s skip this process."

"Why?"

"Rather than placing hopes on others, I prefer to place my hopes on myself."

Chen Xixi pouted, how annoying! He managed to act cool again!

Zhou Jinyuan lacks nothing, does he even need to make wishes? No, he doesn’t. All he has to do is open his mouth, and whatever he wants will naturally be presented before him.

Chen Xixi nodded in understanding: "That makes sense, you’re not like me who solely relies on the mercy of the heavens."

Then she heard Zhou Jinyuan say again: "When your birthday comes, you can try making a wish to me, maybe it’ll work faster and better than wishing to the heavens."

Chen Xixi instantly felt that Zhou Jinyuan was not just putting on an act, he’s a great philanthropist coming to provide aid!

Chen Xixi complimented him with several rounds of flattery, then got back to the main topic. She came today not only to celebrate Zhou Jinyuan’s birthday and to clarify her relationship with him but also for another very important matter.

Chen Xixi earnestly asked: "Since you’ve looked into the fact that you and I have known each other since we were young, do you know about my family’s situation?"

Zhou Jinyuan spoke unhurriedly: "I do know, it’s related to the Xu Family from the Haisong Group. But rest assured, as I’ve said before, my relationship with the Xu Family isn’t as good as my relationship with you. So if you’re here today to probe my attitude towards the Xu Family, then I can tell you clearly, no matter what happens, I will stand with you."

No matter what happens, he will stand by her side.

Chen Xixi was stunned for a moment.

This statement was undoubtedly heartwarming, and even she was not an exception.

Chen Xixi asked incredulously, "Really?"

Zhou Jinyuan’s lips curled slightly: "When have I ever lied to you?"

...

The next morning.

The hot search was dominated by Zheng He.

#ZhengGotScammed#

The latest promotional video on the Anti-Scam App’s official account featured the case where Zheng He was scammed and nearly kidnapped in North City.

Netizens instantly went wild!

[My goodness! It’s Zheng He again, is every scammer in the world targeting Zheng He now?!]

[Easy prey with lots of Money, who else would scammers go after, if I were a scammer, I’d target him too haha!]

[Scammed and nearly kidnapped in North City? Could it be the big business deal Zheng He was talking about a while ago?]

[It was because his friend invited him to discuss a big business deal that he got scammed!]

[Looks like the police will be commended again!]

[Eh? The report of Zheng He getting scammed this time was part of a public welfare event organized by Haisong Group, which means Haisong Group inadvertently rescued Zheng He.]

Then, the next Weibo hot search was about Hu Yun and Zheng He, being signed by a media company called Dingxin.

[Holy cow! There’s actually a company daring to sign Zheng He! They’ve got guts!]

[A company daring to sign such a high-risk artist, do they not want to operate anymore?!]

Whether the company wants to continue operating, Chen Xixi doesn’t know, but she’s certain that this Dingxin media company must be a subsidiary of Haisong Group.

Old Chen mentioned this company to her when talking about their family’s business matters, it was this company that set a trap for Old Chen, and there was someone named Hu Qifeng, who acted as the intermediary.

Now, she’s highly suspicious that this Hu Qifeng has already colluded with the Xu Family, or else how could it all be so coincidental?

Dingxin, huh? Then let’s start with this company.

Chen Xixi picked up her phone and directly called Zheng He.

When Zheng He answered, his tone was full of arrogance: "Hello? I’m very busy right now, make it quick."

"Don’t rush, I have a very important matter to tell you."

Zheng He frowned and asked: "What is it?"

"The time you were nearly kidnapped, it was actually malicious retaliation against you, don’t you want to know who’s taking revenge on you?"
