Chapter 1313: Chapter 1313: Refreshing One’s Worldview

First, the daughter of Professor Su was enough to draw attention.

Next, that the Zhou family’s boss had become the live-in son-in-law to Professor Su’s eldest daughter was something some still couldn’t believe!

Then, there were the personal merits of the sisters themselves and their love-hate relationship with the Song family.

So, it was not surprising at all that they were being talked about.

But Zhou Hengguang and Zou Yi’s conversation was different from that of the Xu brothers.

“Big Brother, Su Qing is really going to the arranged dating tomorrow.” Zou Yi looked odd, as if seeing Zhou Hengguang for the first time. “Do you really want to do that? It’s not too good,” he said.

Ah! Big Brother had once again lowered the bar for what he considered despicable in his mind.

It was his fault, he had not done well, failing to complete the task his foster father had given him. He had failed to take good care of Big Brother.

“Stop talking, or else don’t blame me for being rude.”

“But if Su Qing finds out, she will be even angrier.”

“She won’t find out.”

“But… Big Brother will find out!”

Zhou Hengguang sneered, “Even if Big Brother finds out, he won’t tell. If he does, he knows I’ll be rude.”

Province, Tea Restaurant——

Su Qing had dressed up carefully to make a good impression on the man she was meeting for the arranged dating. Following Big Sister’s advice, she switched from her usual glamorous and aloof office look to the gentle demeanor of the girl next door.

As for what constituted a glamorous and aloof look versus the gentle demeanor of the girl next door, Su Qing had no clue.

She just indulged Big Sister in dressing her up, spouting a whole lot of stuff that she didn’t earnestly learn. Instead, her mind was filled with work matters. She just handed herself over to Big Sister’s care and then headed out, neatly dressed.

The arranged dating was set for nine in the morning, and Su Qing arrived half an hour early. Today was the first day the tea restaurant reopened after the New Year holiday.

There was nobody inside.

Looking at the menu for a long time, Su Qing realized that despite the small façade, the place was not cheap. She thought to herself, true to her brother-in-law’s style, ordinary people wouldn’t even think of coming to such a place. The price of a pot of tea and a basket of shrimp dumplings was almost equal to her daily wage.

Indeed, Su Qing was salaried at the studio.

Her monthly wage was one hundred twenty yuan, which averaged to about forty yuan a day. It was already a very high salary, far above that of the average person.

After ordering a pot of tea, Su Qing naturally got up to get it herself, but was stopped by the shop owner, who personally brought it over. After placing it down, he started chatting with Su Qing in a friendly manner, making it hard for her to refuse. She had to find a way to change the subject.

“How many employees do you have here?”

The owner was quite young, in his twenties, with a gentle and handsome appearance. When he looked at Su Qing, he would occasionally avert his eyes, making it unclear whether he was shy or uneasy. In any case, it made Su Qing feel that something was off.

“Seven. Not enough staff, but there are regulations, you know! More than seven people would be considered capitalism,” he complained. “With these policies changing three times a day, no one is sure what will happen in the future.”

“Uh… thanks, you, you go ahead with your work,” Su Qing politely dismissed him.

“So I’ll leave?” The boss appeared reluctant to go.

Which made Su Qing feel very awkward, “Um! Yes, you can go!” What kind of person is this? Not even an acquaintance, why the familiarity?

Seeing that Su Qing really didn’t want to chat, the owner muttered to himself that she seemed introverted and then left.

Once he was gone, Su Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at her watch, and saw that it was already nine o’clock. The dating candidate hadn’t arrived yet, and she silently lowered her impression of him.
