Chapter 201 He is different
At dinner time, Special Assistant Sun and Xu Zehao arrived first.
Special Assistant Sun tactfully sat opposite Xu Zehao, and Huang Bo sat next to Special Assistant Sun. When Zhou Yian arrived, only the seat next to Xu Zehao was left.
This is a high-end buffet restaurant with a complete range of dishes. You can take whatever you want to eat. It is convenient and fast, and can satisfy the tastes of most people.
Probably because it was the first time that Huang Bo sat so close to Xu Zehao, he seemed a little nervous. Apart from constantly getting things, he just sat in his seat and concentrated on eating.
Perhaps because they were in a foreign country, and because they were colleagues in the same department, the two were relatively familiar with each other. Huang Bo seemed to be more enthusiastic towards Zhou Yian than usual, and took better care of her, serving her tea and water and bringing her food.
"Yian, I just ate this egg custard. It tastes good. I'll give you one too." Huang Bo said as he handed over the egg custard he had just taken.
This was the nth time Huang Bo had fed Zhou Yian.
However, before Zhou Yian reached out to take it, Xu Zehao at the side took the lead and said casually, "She is allergic to eggs."
??? Huang Bo was stunned. What was going on?
The air suddenly became quiet. Xu Zehao stared at Huang Bo. His deep eyes seemed to carry some ambiguous warnings and an inexplicable possessiveness.
Huang Bo quickly realized that the relationship between the two could not be as simple as colleagues, and then smiled and said, "No... Sorry, I don't know."
Seeing this, Zhou Yian quickly looked at Huang Bo with an apologetic look, then glanced at Xu Zehao, "It's okay, Brother Bo, I didn't say that."
Special Assistant Sun on the side cast a sympathetic look at Huang Bo, saying, "Why do you have to mess with the boss's woman when you can try to please anyone else?"
During the following meal time, Huang Bo felt very uncomfortable, and from time to time he would secretly observe the two people opposite him out of the corner of his eye, hoping to find some clues from their words and actions to verify his guess.
Xu Zehao sat upright and ate elegantly, while Zhou Yian ate slowly, chewing his food carefully without being impatient. It seemed that both of them were really taking their meal seriously.
After the meal, Huang Bo found that the two people did not have much conversation and did not do anything that crossed the line.
"I'm done, you guys take your time." After finishing his meal, Xu Zehao nodded politely to them, stood up and left, and Special Assistant Sun followed him.
As soon as Huang Bo saw Xu Zehao walking away, he turned around and asked impatiently: "I'm dying of holding it in, Yi'an, are you familiar with Mr. Xu?"
"Uh, not familiar."
"Then how did he know you were allergic to eggs? This is a very private matter, how could someone who is not familiar with you know that?"
"Oh, this? We chatted for a few minutes at the last cocktail party. Maybe he said it then." Zhou Yian, who was not good at lying, lowered his head, feeling guilty and didn't dare to look at Huang Bo.
"So, that's what I was saying. You two don't look familiar to each other." Huang Bo suddenly realized.
Zhou Yian let out a long sigh, glad that he could dispel Huang Bo's doubts.
In the first few days after arriving, Zhou Yian had some difficulty acclimatizing because of the jet lag and different eating habits. It took him several days to recover.
Except for sleeping, she is with Xu Zehao every day, either meeting clients or investigating the market, and the two of them are very busy.
Four days later, the meeting was held as scheduled, and Zhou Yian and Huang Bo followed Xu Zehao into the venue.
This is an international business bidding meeting. Based on the original cooperation, you will either be eliminated or obtain exclusive authorization.
The venue was very large and those who came to bid were suppliers from all over the world.
At the beginning, Zhou Yian and Huang Bo could help find information and introduce the company's services. Gradually, as more and more companies were eliminated, the competition between companies gradually evolved into an on-site contest between representatives.
In the end, the partners only kept a few representatives from companies with strong financial resources and strength, and asked them to go on stage to give speeches and compete.
When Zhou Yian heard that she would be the representative going on stage, she was surprised. She turned her head and glanced at Xu Zehao, curious about his reaction and worried that he would not be able to cope with it.
She didn't doubt his ability, but his usual aloof and unsocial demeanor made people feel that he didn't like such occasions.
Xu Zehao, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He took a few calm steps and walked to the podium.
Xu Zehao has outstanding looks, and he is not inferior even when standing with a group of tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners.
The rules are very simple. The partners will give questions on the spot and each representative will give solutions.
The business world is like a battlefield, and the referees sitting on the stage are all thousand-year-old foxes.
They asked many tricky but reasonable questions, which tested the companies' adaptability and decision-making capabilities when faced with emergencies.
Watching Xu Zehao speaking eloquently on the stage with a strong aura, Huang Bo in the audience couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, "No wonder he can be a CEO. With such aura and eloquence, I am impressed. It's really shocking."
Zhou Yian smiled and looked quietly at Xu Zehao on the podium. He exuded a unique personal charm.
Although he had known Xu Zehao for many years, this was the first time Zhou Yian had seen Xu Zehao like this.
At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world had stopped. In her eyes, there was only Xu Zehao, who was full of vigor and confidence and composure in his every move.
He reacts quickly and can always keenly grasp the concerns of his partners, and then provide reasonable and effective solutions. With his absolute strength, he quickly stood out from many competitors and finally won the recognition of his partners.
The moment Huang Bo heard the result, he jumped up excitedly, "Yeah, it worked, so cool, all the hard work these days has paid off."
Zhou Yian was also very excited. He clapped his hands vigorously, and his eyes never left Xu Zehao.
Perhaps feeling Zhou Yian's gaze, the moment the result was announced, Xu Zehao turned to look at her, and they smiled at each other.
After the meeting, a few days later, the two parties successfully signed the contract. Xu Zehao was in a good mood and gave them a few days off, allowing them to travel freely and experience the exotic customs.
Zhou Yian was very excited about the rare holiday. In the past few days since arriving here, everyone has been preparing for the meeting. Now he finally has the opportunity to walk around and experience the exotic customs.
Not long after I returned to the hotel, someone rang the doorbell.
Zhou Yian looked through the peephole and saw Xu Zehao standing outside the door. She was stunned. Why did he come to see her?
The doorbell was still ringing, and without giving her time to think, she quickly opened the door.
"Mr. Xu? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Zhou Yian looked around and confirmed that Xu Zehao was the only one there.
Xu Zehao curled his lips and chuckled, "Can I come in and sit down?"
“…”
"inconvenient?"
"...No, Mr. Xu, please come in." Zhou Yian had no choice but to quickly step aside and make way for him.
Xu Zehao walked around and looked at the layout of the room. "How is it? Are you used to living here?"
"pretty good."
Xu Zehao nodded, walked to the window, stood still, and looked at the scenery outside.
"Mr. Xu, is there anything wrong?"
"I'm not used to you calling me like that."
Zhou Yian smiled and said, "It's business as usual. You are indeed my boss."
"Then accompany me somewhere tomorrow."
"Where?"
“Where I used to study.”
"You studied abroad? How come I didn't know that?" Zhou Yian was a little surprised. Although they had lived together for such a long time, she actually knew very little about Xu Zehao's past.
Xu Zehao smiled bitterly, "There are still many things you don't know."
"Oh" Zhou Yian's expression relaxed. Indeed, after living together for so long, he had never really gotten to know Xu Zehao.
"going or not."
"Just go ahead. I was planning to go for a walk tomorrow anyway."
This time Zhou Yian did not refuse and agreed readily.
"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Zhou Yian nodded.
"Then I'll go first. I'll pick you up tomorrow."
When Xu Zehao came out of Zhou Yian's room, he was in a much happier mood. He knew that Zhou Yian was becoming less and less averse to him.
He believed that as long as he was sincere enough, Zhou Yian would definitely come back to him again, and he would not let her down this time.
