Chapter 1046

Today, it rained in "Yahai," and the air was filled with a hint of chill.

At a rice noodle shop hidden at the end of the snack street, a tricolor kitten was lying on a cushion at the entrance, lazily licking its fur.

The shop wasn't big, with only four tables, but there was only one table of guests.

It was Shen Ci and Su Zheyuan.

"This is the 'way' you were talking about?" Shen Ci asked Su Zheyuan in disbelief, and looked around at the environment of this small shop again.

It was clean, but inviting the boss of Golden Bay to eat here was too inappropriate!

And how did Su Zheyuan find this shop?

Su Zheyuan was excited and confident: "We call this 'taking them by surprise.' Do you remember what Brother Luo said? He said that recently, representatives of various groups have been inviting this Boss Zhou to various luxury restaurants in 'Yahai,' and they've almost eaten him sick."

Shen Ci sneered: "So you deliberately found such a place to play with contrast?"

"Right!" Su Zheyuan nodded seriously: "He's already dizzy from eating at those high-end restaurants, and he probably can't even tell who is treating him. But if we treat him to rice noodles, it will definitely leave a deep impression on him."

"And I thought it was really hot in 'Yahai' recently, so it would be very comfortable to eat some cold noodles."

As a result, it rained early in the morning, which directly washed away the heat of this city.

Miscalculation, miscalculation!

Shen Ci sighed silently. Sometimes she really didn't know what was in the heads of these boys.

"A Ci, don't sigh!" Su Zheyuan said hurriedly when he saw this: "I'm really sure. Just watch me in a while, you don't have to say anything."

Since they were already here, Shen Ci didn't want to discourage him, but she glanced at the time. It was already past the time and Boss Zhou hadn't appeared. Could it be that he turned around and left when he reached the intersection?

Who knew that at this moment, someone walked into the shop.

This person was tall and sturdy. Perhaps because he had lived here for many years, his skin was tanned dark.

He was wearing a tank top, shorts, and flip-flops. After entering, he took off his sunglasses, revealing a circle of white marks around his eyes that had escaped ultraviolet rays due to wearing sunglasses.

It was just like those people who sunbathed on the beach and left a circle of white underwear marks on their buttocks.

Only he had it on his face.

Seeing this, Su Zheyuan almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. Shen Ci hurriedly reached out and grabbed his inner thigh. The pain from his leg made Su Zheyuan hold back his laughter all at once.

"Are you Boss Su?"

The man fixed his gaze on Su Zheyuan and asked in confusion.

Only when he spoke, his accent was the same as He Bin's; he was a Northeasterner.

"I am Su Zheyuan." Su Zheyuan hurriedly stood up: "Are you Boss Zhou? Please sit down."

Boss Zhou snorted, glanced at the environment in the shop, and said with some sarcasm: "Boss Su is very special, inviting me to such a place. It's really hard for you to find this shop."

Although he said so, Boss Zhou still gave face and pulled out a chair to sit down.

He leaned against the back of the chair, sized up Su Zheyuan, then shifted his gaze to Shen Ci, then looked back at Su Zheyuan, and raised his eyebrows: "Girlfriend?"

"No, no, this is my good friend, and also one of the shareholders of the company."

Su Zheyuan straightened his body and was about to get straight to the point, but the landlady happened to bring the prepared rice noodles and introduced them to Su Zheyuan and Shen Ci very enthusiastically: "Are you here for tourism? Our shop has the most authentic 'Yahai Rice Noodles,' which are especially delicious."

The rice noodles were oily and bright, with many ingredients, and looked delicious.

Shen Ci said thank you, and without caring about Su Zheyuan and Boss Zhou, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Boss Zhou looked at Shen Ci's actions, his gaze filled with interest, and then he heard Su Zheyuan take the initiative to say: "Boss Zhou, inviting you out this time is mainly to..."

"I know." Boss Zhou looked back at Su Zheyuan, interrupted Su Zheyuan's words with a bold attitude, and said with a knowing posture: "Isn't it just that you've taken a fancy to Golden Bay."

Su Zheyuan didn't act coy either, and nodded in admission: "Yes, it's about Golden Bay."

Boss Zhou took out a cigarette case, flicked the bottom of the cigarette case with his finger, and a cigarette popped out from the front. He picked it up and put it in his mouth, looked left and right, touched his pocket, and then asked Su Zheyuan: "Do you have a light?"

Shen Ci looked up at him while chewing the rice noodles, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed. Just as she was about to bite off the rice noodles and speak, she heard the landlady poke her head out from behind the transparent glass of the kitchen and remind them: "No smoking in the shop."

Boss Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and also noticed Shen Ci's slightly disgusted eyes, then he took the cigarette down and tucked it behind his ear: "The shop isn't big, but there are quite a few rules."

After speaking, he didn't know where he got a betel nut and threw it into his mouth to chew. While chewing, he said to Su Zheyuan: "I know your group, Zheyuan Group. It can be considered a top hotel group in our country."

"I do bay business, so I pay more attention to the affairs of various hotel groups at home and abroad. I've heard a little about your group's affairs. Were there any internal events before? Otherwise, why would the 'Su Group' be delisted and changed to 'Zheyuan Group' for no reason?"

"But no matter what, Boss Su should do the surface work well. If the group really has losses, there's no need to bite the bullet and invite me to dinner. This place..."

He looked at the small shop again and laughed: "I'm not used to eating here."

"Boss Zhou, don't misunderstand. I heard that Boss Zhou has eaten too many delicacies recently, so I wanted to let you change your taste." Su Zheyuan hurriedly indicated: "If you don't like it here, you can choose any restaurant in 'Yahai,' and you can eat whatever you want."

Boss Zhou raised his hand with a fake smile: "That's not necessary. I don't lack this meal from Boss Su, and for that piece of land in Golden Bay, your 'Zheyuan Group' really doesn't rank, so don't trouble Boss Su to spend money."

Upon hearing this, Su Zheyuan's complexion changed, and Boss Zhou continued on his own: "I can come today, which can be considered because I am curious about Boss Su himself. You found me and wanted to meet, so I still have to give you face for this time."

"To not let Boss Su make a wasted trip, I'll make it clear. 'Zheyuan Group' has a reputation, but the groups that have come to negotiate for Golden Bay are all international big groups, Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Wyndham, and InterContinental, etc. As for domestic groups, we only consider cooperating with groups like HZ that have international influence. Can you understand what I mean by saying this?"

Su Zheyuan said anxiously: "Boss Zhou, our group is also developing steadily internationally, and our overseas business has expanded to nearly 500 hotels."

Boss Zhou curled his lips and said bluntly without giving face: "But compared to the few I mentioned, it's still far behind, isn't it?"
