Chapter 162 Hot Pot
It is rare for adolescent boys and girls to remain good-looking all the time, but Zhou Qingyan was good-looking from the beginning to the end. As a teenager, he was very rebellious and there were screams wherever he went.
Ten years have passed, and the boy's rebelliousness is no longer there, but the time has given him maturity, and he looks even more dazzling than before.
Zhou Qingyan sat by the window, holding the order paper and looking at it carefully. Many people eating around him were looking at him.
Cui Changjia took a deep breath and walked over, "Boss Zhou!"
While greeting Zhou Qingyan, Cui Changjia sat down, took off her scarf and coat, and immediately a waiter came over with a bag and wrapped up her clothes.
The service at Zhoucheng Xiao Fei Yang Hotpot is exceptionally good.
"Order whatever you like." Zhou Qingyan handed over the order paper.
He also took off his coat and rolled up his smoky grey shirt slightly, looking very neat.
Cui Changjia looked up at him, and the moment they looked at each other, she felt her heart beating fast.
Cui Changjia didn't answer and said, "I don't have any dietary restrictions, you can order what you like."
Zhou Qingyan paused, then smiled, lowered his head, and marked the dishes with a pen, while asking Cui Changjia for his opinion from time to time.
Seeing how serious Zhou Qingyan was, Cui Changjia felt embarrassed to say "whatever", so he ordered two of his favorite dishes.
The order was placed, and Cui Changjia raised his hand to pour water for Zhou Qingyan... but was blocked by Zhou Qingyan.
He took the tea from Cui Changjia and said, "I'll do it."
The hands holding the teapot had distinct joints and were strong and vigorous... Cui Changjia's gaze stayed on those hands for a few seconds. Oh, the person was good-looking, good-looking in every way.
"How is Tao Lei and his blind date going?" Cui Changjia asked.
It's boring to keep saying thank yous, Cui Changjia thought, luckily we know each other, Tao Lei, and we can use it as a topic, otherwise I really don't know what to say.
"We are getting along well. Tao Lei is very concerned about it."
"Tao Lei was also a soldier?"
"Yes, we are comrades."
Cui Changjia didn't know this and asked in surprise, "You were a soldier too."
Zhou Qingyan's eyes were deep, and he felt inexplicably depressed in his heart. Cui Changjia, Cui Changjia, you really don't care about me!
"I was bored at university, so I served in the military. Later, I went back to finish my classes and returned to the state capital to work in logistics with my dad."
Cui Changjia asked, "I remember your logistics company is called Oriental Express. Is it the same company as Oriental Express?"
"In theory, they are one family. They were all invested by my dad and his people."
Cui Changjia was surprised. "What about Yu Congcong? He is the C..." She almost said "CEO" and quickly changed the topic to ask, "The CEO who came to evaluate the bid this morning is Yu Congcong?" Zhou Qingyan didn't quite understand where Cui Changjia's shock came from. He asked cautiously, "Yes, is there any problem?"
"What about Xingda Network?"
“That’s the customer service center we invested in.”
Cui Changjia picked up the cup and drank a sip of water, swallowing it hard, and explained, "No problem, I asked Fanghan what you are doing now, but Fanghan couldn't explain it clearly, and I was also confused."
When she first met Yu Congcong at Hengmao International, she felt that he looked like Yu Congcong, but she didn't dare to confirm it. After all, she only remembered what the middle-aged Yu Congcong looked like.
Zhou Qingyan raised the corners of his lips, "You should have come to ask me earlier. My father worked too hard in his early years. In the past two years, his health has not been very good. He often recuperates in Hainan, so he left all the company's affairs to us."
He said carefully, "Now I am responsible for the large-scale transportation of Shuanghuagou Logistics Center and Oriental Express, as well as some major business of the company. Congcong is in charge of express delivery and the company's internal affairs. Xingda Network of Hengmao International is a customer service center specially built for express delivery companies. Our plan is to build this customer service center first, and then adjust it according to the business later."
"I have an older brother, but he doesn't like doing business. He secretly changed his major in the college entrance examination and became a doctor. He lives in the capital and doesn't come back often. My sister and my brother-in-law run an advertising business in Shanghai, and it's doing pretty well."
The more Cui Changjia listened, the weirder it felt. She was asking him about his work, so why was he telling her about his family situation?
Cui Changjia suddenly remembered that her father and eldest brother had discussed at home how great the Shuanghuagou Logistics Center in the state capital was. An idea suddenly occurred to her, "Mr. Zhou, is your father Zhou Jingwei?"
Zhou Qingyan nodded.
Cui Changjia was really shocked. No wonder she didn’t believe it when Jiang Fanghan said that Oriental Express was also owned by Zhou Qingyan, because she didn’t even know that Zhou Qingyan and Yu Congcong were in charge of the inside and outside respectively!
Before the fire, Cui Changjia's family was indeed the leader in their industry. Her father Cui Wenquan was also somewhat famous in the state capital, but compared with the Zhou family.
No, there is no comparison at all. I heard that the Zhou family is like a entrenched dragon in the state capital, with people from all walks of life. They can make it blow windy or rainy at will!
Zhou Qingyan felt heartbroken. It seemed that Cui Changjia really didn't care about him at all. She didn't know anything about his family situation.
"Is Venus Hotel an investment of your family?"
Zhou Qingyan didn't know why Cui Changjia's thoughts suddenly jumped to the Venus Hotel, but he still said, "That was the dowry my uncle gave to my cousin Zhou Jiahui. My uncle specializes in catering and hotels. The recently popular Jiaqi Hotel chain was run by my cousin and his friends."
Cui Changjia didn't know what to say for a moment. Fortunately, the waiter came over with a cart to deliver the dishes. He put the pot on the table and arranged the dishes. After a busy period, the soup in the double-flavored pot began to boil.
"Do you like beef or mutton?" Zhou Qingyan asked.
"Mutton, I can do it myself," Cui Changjia said as he picked up a plate of mutton and started putting it into the pot, "Do you like spicy or clear soup?"
"I like spicy food, how about you?"
Cui Changjia tried his best to look relaxed, "I used to like spicy food, but I don't like it much in the past two years."
Cui Changjia divided a plate of mutton into two pots. After the soup boiled for a while, the mutton was cooked.
Zhou Qingyan took the colander and handed it to Cui Changjiasheng.
Cui Changjia said hurriedly, "Boss Zhou, I'll do it myself."
"Don't keep calling me Mr. Zhou. Just call me by my name. I'll do it. You're welcome."
Calling the name, what name?
Should I call him “Qingyan” or “Zhou Qingyan”?
Uh. So weird!
Recently, when eating out, Cui Changjia always acted like a "grandson", but today here, she didn't have to do anything, the food was served on the plate, and she felt very comfortable.
Cui Changjia was tired of saying the four words "I'll do it myself" and in the end he stopped saying it because it was useless.
