The two of them walked side by side through the winding corridor and returned to their room to eat breakfast.
In fact, Qin Su’s cooking skills were really not that good. As she was used to eating communally, she did not have many opportunities to cook for herself, so naturally, she could not be expected to be great at cooking.
However, Zhou Zimo ate with relish and gave Qin Su a lot of face. When she saw that the breakfast on his plate was almost finished by him, Qin Su was a little surprised. She suspected that her culinary skills had improved?
“Don’t you think the eggs are a little salty?”
Qin Su asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhou Zimo raised his eyes and glanced at her. “Is it?”
Qin Su frowned even more, but she did not say anything after that.
Zhou Zimo drank all the water in his cup, took the napkin and wiped his mouth. “There’s a new blockbuster screening tonight. Let’s have dinner together and then go over to take a look?”
His tone was very inquisitive.
Qin Su paused for a moment and subconsciously looked up at him. When she saw the hope and sincerity in his eyes, she initially wanted to reject him, but after some thought, she nodded. “When the time comes, give me a call and tell me the location.”
“Come to the company directly in the evening. You should know the address.”
Zhou Zimo narrowed his eyes at her and said in a low voice.
“Go to your company?”
Qin Su frowned and did not quite agree. “I don’t think that’s a good idea?”
“You’re the only female companion that I, Zhou Zimo, acknowledge as my real girlfriend. Why isn’t it a good idea?”
Qin Su’s words naturally made Zhou Zimo very unhappy. He had tried every means to let her know that he, Zhou Zimo, had decided on her. He did not think it was wrong to let her be involved in his circle, familiarize herself with his life, and follow his footsteps.
Since she was neither cold nor warm, then he would take the initiative. After all, he had persisted for so many years. As long as he got the result that he wanted, he did not mind wasting time with her.
Qin Su was quiet for a moment. She lowered her head and took a sip of water, then said, “I don’t want to be the object of attention. I know what you mean. Don’t worry, I will let nature take its course.”
“Let nature take its course? Other than that, I naturally hope that you’ll be more attentive to me. You see, my future parents-in-law have both accepted me.”
Zhou Zimo had no clue about the word ‘shameless’. Qin Yi and Mei Xiaoyue had a very good impression of him. He had already treated them as his future parents-in-law. Every three to five days, he would bring a huge pile of gifts to their house, he did not care whether Qin Su cared about him or not. He was so happy doing so that even Qin Su was helpless.
Just like now, when she heard Zhou Zimo’s shameless words, she pretended not to hear it.
“You don’t have to be nice to them.”
“If I’m not nice to them, would you notice me? They think highly of us. I’m a really good man, it’s hard to meet someone like me. You’ve met me though so you should hold on tight.”
“Do you think you’re bragging?”
Qin Su glanced at him and drank all the water in her cup. Then, she simply cleaned up the dishes.
Zhou Zimo quickly stood up to help. “I’ll do it, I’ll do it! When are you going to make preparations? I want to bring you back to meet my grandfather.”
Meet his grandfather?
Qin Su frowned. For a moment, she was a little confused and did not know how to respond.
“Don’t be nervous. My grandfather is easy to talk to. If you go to see him, I guarantee that he will be very happy. Although he is very strict with me, he will definitely be very protective of you.”
Zhou Zimo naturally knew the old man’s personality.
A while ago, because of Mu Yinan’s death, the old man was a little gloomy. He had not recovered from it for a while, so Zhou Zimo wanted to bring Qin Su back to make the old man happy. More importantly, he wanted to bring Qin Su home to take a look.
“The family doesn’t know about us yet. If you’re not willing, I won’t force you. We can go back later.”
Seeing that Qin Su did not answer for a long time, Zhou Zimo lowered his eyes sadly and said this.
“I’m not unwilling. It’s just that it’s not appropriate to go over rashly.”
Seeing that he was a little depressed, Qin Su replied.
“You mean that you’re willing as well then?”
At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Zhou Zimo’s face.
Qin Su nodded. “Make the arrangements. See what you need to prepare… does your grandfather have any special hobbies?”
Hearing Qin Su say this, Zhou Zimo thought for a moment. “He doesn’t have any special hobbies. He just likes fishing and practicing calligraphy.”
“Fishing and calligraphy?”
“Yes, grandfather has always valued the quintessence of the nation and his calligraphy is very good. I remember that your calligraphy is very good. Just based on this, he will definitely treat you like a treasure.” Zhou Zimo smiled.
This time, Qin Su finally understood. “Okay, I got it.”
Later on, Zhou Zimo cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks. After he was done, he went to the company.
Qin Su went back to the study to read.
She did not like to socialize. When she was free, she mostly wanted some privacy to herself.

“Master Qi, this is the information you asked for on Mr. Ge.”
In the afternoon, the cold wind was still very chilly. When Qi Lei was inspecting the South River, Yang Sheng suddenly walked over and said.
Qi Lei paused for a moment and shifted his gaze away from the construction site in front of him. He turned to look at Yang Sheng and saw that Yang Sheng had already handed over a document to Qi Lei.
“This Mr. Ge is not simple. He has a close relationship with the Fujiwara family, so…”
Qi Lei silently lowered his eyes and casually flipped through the document. He roughly understood Mr. Ge’s background. Furthermore, the project that Dongfang Liuyun had mentioned was written very clearly.
After reading for a while, Qi Lei handed the information back. He thought for a while before saying in a low voice, “He went to look for Fujiwara?”
“Yes. When he got off the plane, Fujiwara’s people went to pick him up. But I heard that the two of them didn’t get along very well after that. As for the specific reason, I don’t know about that.”
Yang Sheng replied as he took the information back.
“It’s such a huge project, she really had the guts huh.”
Qi Lei frowned and sighed helplessly.
“Yes, this project involves a lot of money. If it’s not done well, Mr. Lan’s company might be in a tight spot. In the past two years, they’ve already shifted their target overseas. If they’re hindered by this project, then overseas business might be affected too.”
Yang Sheng could roughly foresee these results.
Qi Lei lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. Then, he slowly turned around and walked along the river path at his feet.
“Master Qi!”
Yang Sheng’s heart tightened when he saw that Qi Lei did not say anything. He quickly put away the documents in his hands and followed him.
