Si Ye crossed his arms across his chest and looked at Cheng Zhan with interest. Yes, how could he take over Jiubu? He was also curious.
I thought this would be a long talk, after all, Mr. Si is not easy to fool.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhan Qingfeng came slowly and said lightly, "It all depends on the help of friends."
Done.
Mr. Xu Shisi was also waiting for the explanation from the young man across from him. He didn't want to just say this. He was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he smiled and said, "Young man, you have a lot to do."
Normally, Mr. Si would break the casserole. After all, it is well known in the industry that the boss of Jiubu never shows up. Not only did he show up tonight, but he was also so young. Who is not curious?
But the sentence "It all depends on the help of friends" blocked all questions in a very neither humble nor overbearing manner. It was obvious that he didn't want to say more, but it made it difficult for people to continue asking.
Ask him which friend is helping him?
It seems too owed, at least not if someone with Mr. Si's status can ask.
At the end, he laughed and praised him again and again, "You are young and promising."
Si Ye said to himself, "You are no longer young. You don't know how many times you have been tricked by your age. You have lived for thousands of years to build such a restaurant. Is it considered promising?"
However, Mr. Si didn't know this, so he turned to Si Ye and said, "You are also young, look at others, and then look at you."
Si Ye:......
He had already hid on the edge and was shot.
Cheng Zhan glanced at Si Ye without any trace, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was trying to hold back a smile.
Si Ye was too lazy to respond.
The boss has come in person, and if he doesn't leave, he will be a bit blind.
The people at the table were about to leave. Mr. Si ordered Si Ye, "It's early now. You can take Shanshan out for a walk, digest the food, and send Shanshan home by the way. Then you can come back to Si's house tonight."
"I--"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Si." It was Cheng Zhan who interrupted Mr. Si, "Si Ye has to go back with me tonight."
Everyone at the table was stunned.
Only Si Ye looked interested, hehe, he finally remembered him.
I thought I was pretending not to know him.
Mr. Si was extremely surprised, "Follow you? Go back?"
There was a faint smile in Cheng Zhan's eyes, "Yes, I am Si Ye's senior."
Mr. Si was stunned. He looked at Cheng Zhan and then at Si Ye. Si Ye nodded, "Yes, I am a senior."
This relationship has changed...
Cheng Zhan said, "The professor assigned the homework. If Si Ye doesn't understand, I will help with tutoring. The homework is..." He pretended to be unsure and raised his eyes to look at Si Ye, "It's due tomorrow morning?"
Si Ye nodded, "Yeah, I'll hand it in tomorrow morning and I'll keep the credits."
"Yes, it's quite important." Cheng Zhan said softly.
When Mr. Si heard this, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Si Ye struck while the iron was hot, "Old man, I have to graduate smoothly."
This is what I said.
Susan said softly, "Uncle, let brother Siye do his homework. I have a long life with him."
When Mr. Si heard this, he nodded repeatedly, then turned to glare at Si Ye, "Look at Shanshan, how sensible she is."
Si Ye was careless and looked at Susan with a smile, "Thank you so much, Miss Su."
Susan covered her lips and smiled, "Brother Si Ye, if you always call Miss Su Miss Su, I won't be happy."
Si Ye felt that these words had full threatening power.
"Shanshan."
Susan's smile grew brighter.
"When you are not busy with schoolwork, keep in touch with Shanshan, do you hear me?" Mr. Si gave the order.
Si Ye didn't want to get into a verbal dispute and nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, Susan passed by Cheng Zhan and suddenly asked, "What's your last name, little brother?"
"My surname is Cheng."
"Boss Cheng," Susan's voice was sweet, but her next sentence was, "It feels like brother Si Ye."
Others did not understand what he said, but Si Ye understood the meaning and subconsciously looked at Cheng Zhan. Cheng Zhan also glanced at Si Ye, his eyes were not simple either.
In the end, Mr. Si failed to force Si Ye to win over him. Later, when he was leaving, he told the Su family, "My child has his own ideas now that he is older. He was obedient before."
Mr. Su's family smoothed things over with a smile, saying something like, "The Si family's young masters are all extraordinary, so naturally they are all independent-minded children."
Si Ye paced behind him, looking at Mr. Si's back and thinking, I never saw you taking care of him when he was a child.
After sending Mr. Si into the car, the window was lowered and the old man waved to Si Ye. Si Ye stepped forward and saw that the old man was leaning forward with some effort, so he took the initiative to lean down.
Mr. Si seemed tired and said in a low voice, "You, come home when you have nothing to do and ask the chef at home to cook you something delicious. You have lost weight. Your body is weak."
When Si Ye heard this, he was slightly startled, then said for a long time, "Yeah."
The old man looked at him, raised his hand and patted his head, "Even if you don't like it, it's still your home."
Si Ye couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, it was like a warm current flowing in his blood. He had no feelings for the Si family, and judging from the memories and feelings of the original owner, he also had a lot of resentment towards the Si family.
But Mr. Si's words were like those of a kind father, and they seemed to melt Si Ye's coldness and numbness toward the Si family little by little. He could see the meaning of compensation in the eyes of the old man. Perhaps it was after the strong wind and waves came that he suddenly looked back.
After noticing that his youngest son has grown up, fatherly love abounds.
Si Ye said nothing. Considering his character, he should have said, "I don't care about anything in the Si family."
Originally, he felt that he had nothing to do with everything in the Si family.
Mr. Si took back his hand. He knew that Si Ye was not close to him, but after coming back this time, he felt that his son was more and more strange. It was a lie not to panic, as if he could lose his son at any time.
He sighed.
Finally, he suddenly asked him, "Is that senior of yours definitely the boss of Jiubu?"
Si Ye was stunned, didn't he just say that?
Mr. and Mrs. Si's eyes were very bright, and they lowered their voices and said, "You should walk around more with your senior. If you have a good relationship, it will not be difficult to reserve a private room in the future."
Si Ye:......
In the other car, the two elders of the Su family were talking about the third son of the Si family. The wife of the Su family said, "I haven't seen this young master for a few years. I didn't expect that he is tall and handsome now. Judging from his appearance,
She is a perfect match for our Shanshan."
Susan didn't express any opinions and just played with her mobile phone.
Mr. Su sighed and said, "Let's take a look, don't rush to book it."
Susan raised her eyes and glanced at her father.
Mrs. Su was puzzled, "Do you still need to observe? The youngest of the Si family is the most favored by Mr. Si. Wasn't it quite obvious just now? This means that the youngest is getting involved in the Si family's property."
"It has nothing to do with this." Mr. Su waved his hand, "I just think Si Ye is not as honest as they say. He has a strong temper."
This is true, you can see it at the dining table.
Although there was no tense situation, it was obvious that Si Ye was resolute and Mr. Si might not be able to subdue him.
If even Mr. Si can't surrender, once the marriage is real, can the Su family surrender? Can his Shanshan family surrender?
Mrs. Su asked Susan, "How do you feel about meeting Si Ye this time?"
Although the purpose of a business marriage is reciprocity of interests, their daughter is also the apple of their eye, so they naturally hope that by marrying her, they will be able to live up to their husbands and not be wronged.
Susan put down her cell phone, thinking of Si Ye's face, and said with a smile, "He is a bit interesting now."
…
"Which friend of yours? Who helps you? Cheng Zhan, I found out why you have so many secrets?"
Si Ye followed Cheng Zhan back to Jiubu. It was still the private room just now. Si Ye was full of questions.
Cheng Zhan pulled up a chair and sat down. He lost his dignity and aloofness just now and sat there, looking a bit lazy. He raised his chin towards the table and said, "Don't you want to try it? I haven't seen you eat anything."
"Don't change the subject." Si Ye frowned.
Cheng Zhan raised his eyebrows, "No one else will ask, but you are the only one who owes me."
"Am I someone else?" Si Ye asked back.
Cheng Zhan smiled and did not go around in circles, "Jiubu is actually run by Jiang Zhou. I just participated in a few stocks and I don't usually come here."
Si Ye was stunned, "Jiang Zhou?"
Cheng Zhan nodded, "I've lived too long, so I opened a restaurant when I had too much time."
Of course, Jiang Zhou has opened other stores, but he has no patience. Only this Jiubu has been opened and closed, opened and closed, and has been going around for thousands of years. It really lasts forever.
When Si Ye heard this, he felt that the rumors on the Internet might be true. Although he had never met Jiang Zhou, Cheng Zhan had mentioned it many times, and there was nothing that a person who lived for such a long time could not do.
I have so many questions that I don’t even know where to start.
Then I thought of the name of the guild hall, "Why is it called Jiube?"
"It has something to do with the person she likes." Cheng Zhan seemed unwilling to say more, or was too lazy to talk, "You can ask her yourself when you get a chance to meet Jiang Zhou later."
I always say look back.
"Are there really hundreds of kinds of cakes?" Si Ye thought of the hibiscus cake he had just packed, but the old man of the Si family took it away unceremoniously, without even thinking of leaving a piece for him.
You can actually smell the fragrance even through the box.
"Yes." Cheng Zhan said, "Jiang Zhou did it once a long time ago."
Si Ye suddenly remembered the history of the so-called hundred kinds of cakes, "Who is it? So delicious?"
Cheng Zhan replied, "The person she likes."
Si Ye groaned, "What happened next?"
"Then the person she liked disappeared."
Si Ye was surprised and asked for a long time, "You haven't found it yet?"
"Um."
Si Ye thought, after being missing for so long... he is dead, right? The kind that annihilates both soul and spirit.
He was not interested in other people's affairs, so he asked Cheng Zhan, "So, your source of income is this club?"
Cheng Zhan thought for a moment and said, "That's right. In short, since Jiang Zhou has money, I won't have to worry about money."
These words puzzled Si Ye.
Pointing at him, "You are the pretty boy she raised!"
Cheng Zhan was speechless, stood up and left.
"Hey, are you feeling guilty?" Si Ye followed him all the way out.
This time he caught up with the car.
Si Ye had never seen this car before, at least Cheng Zhan usually took a taxi when he went out, like when he passed by it tonight.
There are dedicated drivers to pick up and drop off, and the staff of the Ninth Department, wearing green shirts and long robes, don't mention how refreshing it is to drive. Siye feels that it is more suitable to pull a rickshaw or the like, or to back up and carry a sedan chair.
"Whose car?"
Cheng Zhan said, "Taxis from Jiubu can't get in here."
Needless to say, it also belongs to Jiang Zhou.
It’s quite enjoyable, and the wines in the car are all limited edition globally.
"Who is older, you or her?"
Cheng Zhan answered quite honestly, "I don't know, I never asked."
It's really strange.
"It is said that the boss of Jiubu is not face-to-face, why are you here?" Si Ye asked.
Cheng Zhan shifted his gaze from the window to his face and raised his eyebrows slightly, "You think I'm idle? I'm not here to save you. I'm too lazy to come."
Si Ye was delighted, "You dare to close the shop early because of me. How much money will you make less? I'm so embarrassed."
Cheng Zhan ignored him and looked out the car window again.
The sky was dark, the street lights were brilliant, and the light and shadow fell on the car window, splashing up strings of neon lights and dancing on his brows, making his eyes dark and deep, and making him a bit proud and lonely.
Si Ye felt that Cheng Zhan's loneliness was rooted in his bones. People like him, who were born to seal the wizard spirits, were destined to be lonely.
Suddenly, Cheng Zhan asked again, "What do you think of the Su family girl?"
Susan...
Siye let out a cry.
Cheng Zhan turned to look at him, his face coldly reflected by the neon lights outside the window.
"I forgot about her even if you didn't mention her." Si Ye looked serious, "She must have discovered it."
Cheng Zhan understood the words that had no beginning and no end. He suddenly remembered the words Susan dropped before leaving. At that time, Cheng Zhan actually had a vague suspicion, but he didn't get confirmation.
"How was it discovered? How many were discovered?" Cheng Zhan asked two questions.
"Maybe it's intuition? She found out that I'm not-" Si Ye stopped the brakes mid-sentence, raised his head and glanced forward.
Cheng Zhan understood his worries, "It doesn't matter, everyone in the Nine Divisions is not human."
The first half of the sentence was quite normal. Si Ye thought that the second half of the sentence was because they would not talk nonsense to the outside world. Unexpectedly, such a sentence came. He almost jumped out of the car seat and subconsciously asked him, "What is it if it's not a human being?"
"
At the same time, I stared at the back of the driver's head, wondering if he could turn his head and smile at him. Then, blood flowed from his eyes and his tongue stretched out.
But the driver never looked back.
Cheng Zhan also saw through his thoughts and sighed, "Aye, you have to understand one thing."
"Um?"
"You are not a human either." Cheng Zhan said seriously, "You have to accept this premise."
All right……
Si Ye decided not to ask. The less he knew, the less he would be troubled.
Continuing the topic that was interrupted just now, "In short, Susan found out that I am not Si Ye, and she can still say that I live in Si Ye's skin. I don't think she will let it go. After all, we have been friends since childhood.
.”
Seeing Cheng Zhan staring at him, Si Ye was puzzled, what's going on?
Cheng Zhan adjusted his sitting posture and turned his body slightly towards Si Ye, "You are answering an incorrect question."
The answer is wrong...
Si Ye fell back for a long time before he fell back to what Cheng Zhan had just asked, and said, "We just met, how can you feel?"
At this point, he asked again, "Do you think she can check me?"
"How to check? We can't go to University A and keep an eye on you, right?" Cheng Zhan disagreed, "Don't think too much, at most you are just suspicious. If you really want to check her, there is no way to start."
This is true.
Si Ye breathed a sigh of relief, it was strange. So many people thought that he was different from the past and he was not nervous. The only one was that Susan. Just thinking about her expression made his spine run cold.
The car drove along, and by the time Siye reacted, the car had stopped.
Not in front of the school.
Outside the car window is a villa, standing alone in the dark night, with only the light in front of the door spreading its halo across the sky and earth.
