Chapter 769 A Good Girl "Suitable" for Marriage (16)
Because she was taking photos, Mu Zhou specially wore a modified Hanfu today.
Song Chuyu was also wearing a Zhongshan suit with traditional Chinese elements.
The two of them standing together had an inexplicable couple's outfit vibe.
Seeing this, Qin Zheng suddenly felt a surge of desire to destroy everything.
Why is he unsuitable for marriage?
Why did Mu Zhou sentence him to death like that?
He stood there alone, staring intently at the two men.
For a fleeting moment, Song Chuyu looked over and they made eye contact for a second.
He suddenly became alert, a dark danger surging in his eyes.
Song Chuyu simply smiled faintly and then looked away.
Qin Zheng gritted his teeth, his eyes darkening.
On the other side, Mu Zhou was still saying to Song Chuyu, "Actually, you don't need to make a special trip."
Haishi University isn't very close to their school, so making this trip is quite troublesome.
But Song Chuyu solemnly said:
"Graduation is a very important milestone in life."
I don't want to be absent.
He added silently in his heart.
Mu Zhou looked at him, her eyebrows curving upwards:
"On this important day, how about we have a meal together?"
"it is good."
*
After Mu Zhou's job was officially confirmed as permanent, his job responsibilities became much clearer.
Naturally, I'm no longer so busy.
Her relationship with Song Chuyu remained lukewarm.
Favorability rating steadily increased to 70%.
Logically speaking, this level of appreciation should already be considered very good.
But Song Chuyu's kindness towards her remained only superficial.
It seemed that they treated her as just an ordinary friend, without overstepping any boundaries.
If I didn't know the level of affection, I would have thought he was truly upright and honest with her.
Qin Zheng, perhaps provoked, disappeared for a while.
But on this day, the two met at a business event.
At that time, Mu Zhou was on the phone with Song Chuyu.
"My mom heard that this Saturday is your birthday and was worried that you might have other plans for Saturday, so she wanted to ask if you have time to come over for dinner on Friday."
As Song Chuyu listened to the soft voice on the other end of the phone, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips:
"Of course I have time. I only have one class on Friday afternoon, so I'll go there after class."
“That’s perfect. I can leave work early that day. I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some things first, and then we’ll meet at home.”
Upon hearing this, Song Chuyu subconsciously said:
"Let's go together, I also need to buy some things."
"Okay."
Just as Mu Zhou was about to say something more on the other end of the phone, someone suddenly called her name.
She then left with the words "I'll contact you later" and quickly hung up the phone.
And that voice...
It is clearly Qin rule.
Are they together?
Song Chuyu silently held his phone, a rare hint of coldness appearing between his brows.
After hanging up the phone, Mu Zhou looked at Qin Zheng in front of him and gave him a distant smile:
"Mr. Qin."
Qin Zheng was noticeably more composed than last time.
A faint smile played on his lips:
"Why be so cold? We were together after all. Even if we go back to being just friends, there's no need to avoid each other like this."
The familiar, lazy tone and seemingly indifferent attitude made Mu Zhou raise his eyes slightly.
She gave a noncommittal smile.
Qin Zheng glanced at the name tag hanging around her neck and said knowingly:
"By the way, I heard your company is going to launch a new business line soon?"
Mu Zhou's professional fake smile:
"Trade secret, no comment."
Qin Zheng smiled indulgently and said helplessly:
"I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that I happen to know the CEO of Hengyi. If needed, I can help introduce you."
Mu Zhou's mind stirred.
She and her colleagues came here today hoping to connect with the CEO of Hengyi.
Now that she was feeling sleepy, someone had brought her a pillow, so she gave Qin Zheng a strange look, inevitably a little wary:
"What are your conditions?"
Qin Zheng looked somewhat injured:
“You think too badly of me. I just feel that we were in love, and I have done many things wrong. Now that I can help you, I think I can’t just stand by and do nothing.”
Mu Zhou pondered for a moment, as if trying to determine whether his words were true or false.
Qin Zheng wasn't in a hurry and calmly waited for her reply.
After a moment, she agreed:
"Thank you then."
Qin Zheng curled his lips into a smile:
"Come on, I'll take you to see her."
*
Thanks to Qin Zheng's introduction, today's work went very smoothly.
Qin Zheng was just about to take the opportunity to ask her to treat him to a meal when he heard her say:
"I have already reported this to my supervisor, and he has agreed that if the cooperation is successful, he will introduce you to the profit sharing according to industry standards."
Many people in this industry act as intermediaries, helping two parties get to know each other or facilitating cooperation, and they can all get more or less benefits in return.
With Qin Zheng's net worth, he definitely wouldn't be interested in ordinary money.
Therefore, the top management made a decisive decision to give up a portion of the dividends as a reward.
As long as new business lines can be opened, the profits will only increase in the future.
Hearing Mu Zhou's businesslike attitude, Qin Zheng felt a surge of anger for no reason.
She actually used such a commercial tactic between them.
But then, remembering something, he suppressed his anger:
"Okay, whatever you say. But it's so late, how about we grab some dinner together?"
"Sorry, I'm about to leave work."
Mu Zhou gave him no hope whatsoever and turned to leave.
Qin Zheng almost laughed out of anger as he watched her leave without a second thought after using him.
However, he comforted himself, thinking that no matter what, he had at least made some progress today.
Mu Zhou was at least less hostile towards him.

When Mu Zhou returned home, he was surprised to see Song Chuyu.
“Zhouzhou is back. Chuyu happened to be here today, so your dad and I made dumplings.”
Mom and Song Chuyu came out carrying two plates of dumplings, one in front of the other.
Mu Zhou looked at him with some surprise, and then went to wash her hands at her mother's urging.
At the dinner table, Song Chuyu behaved as always, being gentle and refined.
But Mu Zhou always felt that the smile on his face at this moment was somewhat different from before.
But if asked what was different, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Ms. Yang didn't notice anything; she just kept telling Song Chuyu to eat more.
"You've lost weight recently."
"Thank you auntie."
Song Chuyu took the soup that Ms. Yang had served, his smile impeccable.
After stealing a few glances at him, Mu Zhou couldn't see anything special, so she gave up observing him.
She happily munched on the corn.
She loves the corn in the pork rib soup the most.
Unbeknownst to Mu Zhou, the moment she looked away, Song Chuyu's gaze fell upon her face.
His complex gaze revealed a hidden obsession.
After the meal, Song Chuyu prepared to leave.
Mu Zhou went down to see him off.
The two went downstairs in silence.
Even with a slight breeze, summer nights can still feel quite hot.
Mu Zhou fanned himself by his ear.
When they arrived at the car, Song Chuyu did not open the door.
He stopped and faced Mu Zhou:
"Have you gotten back together with Qin Zheng?"
The sudden question startled Mu Zhou for a moment.
It was this moment of hesitation that made Song Chuyu believe he was right.
His expression suddenly changed, and his jaw tightened.
