Chapter 251 Not at all ashamed

Zhou Qingyan said angrily, "How about you try it instead? You didn't even know to wait for me at the venue? You ran away as soon as I arrived!"

Cui Changjia was also in a dilemma. "I can't even reach such a big leader. It's so embarrassing for me to be there."

As soon as Cui Changjia was embarrassed, Zhou Qingyan's anger subsided, "Eat first, I'm starving."

"Didn't you have lunch?"

"What can I eat when I accompany my leader to dinner?"

Cui Changjia followed Zhou Qingyan and entered Mingquan Private Kitchen.

It was her first time here. This was a rather elegant courtyard house. There was a hall on each side of the gate. People were eating inside. After entering, there was a very large floor-standing ceramic fish tank in the middle, which contained two lively big goldfish, one black and one red.

There are a lot of green plants and flowers planted randomly in the yard, leaving only a few paths. It can be seen that the owner of the yard loves life very much.

"It's not cold, let's eat in the backyard." Zhou Qingyan said.

"it is good."

Zhou Qingyan led Cui Changjia to the back, and someone wearing a chef's uniform and a chef's hat came to greet them from the side of the corridor, "Boss Zhou, you're here."

"Uncle Qi," Zhou Qingyan stopped, "Today it's just the two of us having dinner, so let's be casual. You can join us."

Chef Uncle Qi looked at Cui Changjia curiously, thinking, Zhou Qingyan could bring a girl to his place for dinner and let her eat as she pleased, which showed that he had a special relationship with the girl.

However, this girl has a very dignified face and is a perfect match for Zhou Qingyan!

"Okay, we have fish heads today, shall I make you some fish head soup?"

Zhou Qingyan nodded and took Cui Changjia to the backyard.

After Cui Changjia entered, he was very surprised. The backyard of the house was quite large. There was a large Taihu stone in front of him. After passing the Taihu stone, the backyard was like an ancient garden, with a new scene at every step. A small stream was dug behind the Taihu stone, and there was a water rotation device on one side of the stream, which turned the stream into running water.

A stone bridge was built over the stream. Behind the stone bridge was the entire yard with two large plum trees. Under the plum trees there was a screen made of dwarf bamboo. Cui Changjia guessed that behind the dwarf bamboo was the dining area.

Zhou Qingyan pointed to one of the plum trees and said, "You go sit over there first. I'm going to the bathroom."

Cui Changjia actually guessed it right.

Cui Changjia nodded and walked across the stone bridge. After getting off the bridge, she looked into the stream and found that this man-made stream was quite exquisite. It was paved with pebbles. The water was clear and there were all kinds of edible fish in it.

Cui Changjia laughed. No wonder everyone said Mingquan’s private dishes were so delicious. Just look at the fish they sell. If there’s anything to eat, just catch it here. They’re all live fish!
The table under the plum tree is a square stone table, and the stools are soft leather chairs, which are very comfortable to sit on.

As soon as she sat down, an older sister came over to bring them tea.

The eldest sister was in her forties, wearing a navy blue top with a slanting collar. She smiled amiably and said, "Girls, it's getting late. I made some chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea for you."

"Thank you, sis."

“You’re welcome.” The elder sister put down the tea and filled two cups with tea before leaving.

Chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea is brewed in a glass teapot. The teapot is brushed clean until it is translucent, and you can see the chrysanthemums floating in it, which is very beautiful.

Cui Changjia picked up the cup and smelled it and knew that this was chrysanthemum tea made from wild chrysanthemums. This kind of chrysanthemum tea has small flower heads but a very strong fragrance. She had lived in a homestay in the mountains for a period of time before and had gone to pick flowers with the owner of the homestay.

"What are you looking at so intently?" Zhou Qingyan came back and sat opposite Cui Changjia. "Looking at chrysanthemums, the fragrance is so strong."

"I'll ask Uncle Qi to bring you a can when you leave."

"No need." Cui Changjia refused. This thing can't be bought with money.

Zhou Qingyan sat down on a chair, unbuttoned his suit, and asked Cui Changjia, "Why don't you stay at the venue for a while today?"

"No, I went there just to see you, but when I got there I realized you were too busy, so I left."

Cui Changjia was not ashamed at all when she said this. She was speaking from her heart. She went there just to see Zhou Qingyan. Otherwise, was she really there just to eat and drink?

For a moment, all of Zhou Qingyan's grievances disappeared. He leaned back in his chair and looked straight at Cui Changjia, like a playboy molesting a decent woman.

"what are you looking."

Fortunately, Cui Changjia is not a girl in her early twenties, otherwise Zhou Qingyan would have blushed.

Zhou Qingyan suddenly leaned forward and asked, "It's been such a long time since we last met, don't you miss me?"

Cui Changjia glared at him. "Touch how thick your skin is. How dare you say such a thing?"

"I can stay in the state capital for two weeks. We can have dinner together when we are free."

Cui Changjia joked, "Tsk, who wants to eat with you?"

"Cui Changjia!" Zhou Qingyan was as angry as a puppy.

"Okay, okay, no more jokes," Cui Changjia quickly coaxed, "You guys are doing a big deal this time. All the well-known companies in the entire state should be here."

"Almost. The leader is very happy. He said that this reception shows that the current business environment in our state capital is quite good." Zhou Qingyan said seriously, "You should stay a little longer so that others know that your family has not disappeared."

Another reason why he wanted Cui Changjia to go to the venue was to bring her to introduce herself to more business owners of those companies. It was not to show how strong he was, nor to attract business for Cui Changjia, but he wanted people to know that the Cui family was not finished, and he was behind them!
Cui Changjia said, "I think we should just use the products to speak for ourselves. When the new store opens, we need to do some advertising. It's useless to just look at people if we can't produce anything real."

Zhou Qingyan thought Cui Changjia's point of view was correct. He nodded and said, "That makes sense. How do you do advertising? Do you need my help?"

"No need, just spend money to find an advertising company."

Although the Cui family is not well off now, Cui Changjia will never be stingy when it comes to spending money.

There are many channels for advertising, such as TV, buses, leaflets, etc. You just need to find someone to connect with you when the time comes.

"How is the development of your outlets going recently?" Cui Changjia asked.

“In less than two months, there were about 60 more.”

Cui Changjia gave Zhou Qingyan a thumbs up, "Great!"

"What's so great about that? At this rate, how long will it take to lay out all the outlets?"

"For places that are out of reach, you can first find an agent to receive the goods. Don't be anxious. You can't eat a big fat man in one bite. You still have to do it solidly. If you lay a solid foundation in the front, it will be less likely to have problems later."

Zhou Qingyan found it very strange.
