Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Taking them to visit Old Zhou wouldn't be a bad idea.

Dongzi and Old Zhou were already familiar with each other, having met several times before.

Although Lin Rongrong has never met him, they will inevitably have to deal with each other in the future.

It's just a matter of time.

Now that she has a stable job, it would be nice to meet her.

Ye Chen nodded: "Then let's go to his house for dinner tonight!"

"Huh? We're going to his house for dinner?" Lin Rongrong's mouth dropped open. "No, no, we're going to thank him, how can we possibly eat at his house?"

"Yeah, Brother Chen, I know you're close to him, but we're different. We should be thanking him. How about we invite him out for a meal?"

Dongzi also pondered before speaking.

Ye Chen joked, "It's alright, just prepare some gifts. I'll take you to his house for a meal; his food is delicious!"

The food at Zhou's house was indeed delicious. The nanny's cooking skills were several levels above Lin Rongrong's, and no less than those of a five-star hotel chef.

Ye Chen wouldn't miss such a blatant opportunity to freeload a meal.

Since we're not going anywhere to eat, let's go to Old Zhou's place!

It's been quite a while since I had a couple of drinks with the old man.

"Is this...is this okay?" Lin Rongrong still felt something was amiss.

Who thanks someone and then goes to their house to freeload a meal?

"Brother Chen, why don't you talk to him first, so he won't be unhappy later?" Dongzi said hesitantly.

"Okay, you guys go prepare some gifts first. As long as it's a token of your gratitude, that's fine. I'll arrange a time later to see when it's convenient for us!"

Ye Chen made the decision immediately.

"Alright then!" Lin Rongrong and Dongzi exchanged a glance and finally nodded.

Since Ye Chen has said so, let's do it this way. Just prepare the gift with care.

"Rongrong, I'll go with you to pick out a gift this afternoon!" Dongzi said.

Lin Rongrong nodded.

"Rongrong, the gift can't be too shabby, you know? They really put in a lot of effort," Lin's mother also reminded her.

After the meal, Ye Chen went outside and made a phone call to Old Zhou.

Although he told Dongzi and the others that he was very familiar with Old Zhou, Old Zhou wouldn't say anything if he took people there directly.

However, you definitely need to ask for their opinion beforehand.

This is a matter of basic manners.

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

If Old Zhou doesn't plan to meet with Lin Rongrong now, then he will naturally help Old Zhou postpone the meeting.

"Feeding Old Zhou, are you busy?"

"Why did you suddenly call me? When are you coming over for dinner? As long as you're not busy, I'm definitely not busy either!" Old Zhou said with a smile.

"What a coincidence! We're thinking the same thing!" Ye Chen laughed.

"By the way, do you remember my class monitor, Lin Rongrong? How was she doing? What did you think of her?!"

Zhou Dao pondered for a moment: "Lin Rongrong, I remember her. I've been keeping an eye on her lately. She's very hardworking, and the finance manager has a good opinion of her. She's a talented person and worth nurturing!"

"She wants to thank you in person for helping her a lot and wants to invite you to dinner. After all, I only told her that you were in charge of human resources, and she didn't know that you were the big boss. Can we meet?" Ye Chen said half-jokingly.

"Hehe, what's wrong with meeting her? Aren't you just embarrassing me? I'm not some mysterious, domineering CEO. Besides, she got the job on her own merit, and I didn't pull any strings either. There's nothing to hide. It's just a meal. Why don't you just bring her to my place? It'll save you the trouble of going around in circles!" Old Zhou laughed.

Ye Chen knew Old Zhou's tastes; he would definitely prefer not to eat out if he could avoid it.

Ye Chen nodded: "Then do you think tonight is a good time? If it is, I'll bring her and Dongzi over tonight. You know Dongzi well; they're on their way to dating!"

"Hehe, okay, come on over, it'll be more lively with more people. I'll call Weiwei home for dinner too!" Old Zhou said with a sly smile.

"See you tonight!" Ye Chen said with a smile, ending the call.

Everyone knows what Old Master Zhou is thinking; he's not going to miss the slightest opportunity to bring Ye Chen and Zhou Caiwei together.

Ye Chen was well aware of the situation and didn't try to reason with Old Zhou about it.

After Ye Chen confirmed his reply to Dongzi and Lin Rongrong, Lin Rongrong took Dongzi shopping.

Lin Rongrong really put in a lot of effort, spending over 1 yuan on gifts, which is quite a lot of money.

That's probably equivalent to two or three months' salary for her.

Before I even received my salary, a large sum of money had already been spent.

She bought some nourishing gift boxes, which would make her a presentable gift.

It's appropriate to give it to anyone, and you don't need to worry about whether they'll like it or not, since everyone can use nutritional supplements.

Ye Chen handed two bottles of Maozi to Dongzi to carry, as a little extra for them.

"Brother Chen, why are we going this way? Aren't we going to your friend's place?" Dongzi asked, puzzled.

"Oh, just follow me, you'll find out soon enough!" Ye Chen said, keeping everyone in suspense.

And so, Ye Chen led the two to Old Zhou's house.

Zhou Caiwei was already waiting in the courtyard. When she saw Ye Chen arrive, she immediately came out to greet him.

"Brother Ye Chen, you're here!"

Zhou Caiwei called out sweetly, and nodded to Dongzi and Lin Rongrong as a greeting.

"Is this your girlfriend? She's really beautiful!" Lin Rongrong asked uncertainly.

Ye Chen almost choked on his own saliva. Woman, how could you talk nonsense like that!

However, Zhou Caiwei smiled happily, and her gaze towards Lin Rongrong became much more friendly!

It's as if she's saying, "Sister, you're so good with words, I love it!"

Dongzi had met Zhou Caiwei, but Ye Chen's relationship with her didn't seem to have reached the point of being boyfriend and girlfriend. He still didn't understand what their relationship was.

Now that Ye Chen has come to Zhou Caiwei's place, he's probably going to pick her up to go together.

"Come in, everyone, have some tea!" Zhou Caiwei greeted them with a smile.

Lin Rongrong and Dongzi didn't move; they looked at Ye Chen.

Right now, he definitely needs to go to his friend's house for important business; drinking tea would be a waste of time.

Ye Chen glanced at them: "Go inside, what are you standing there for!"

As he spoke, he took the lead and entered the courtyard. Lin Rongrong and Dongzi exchanged a glance and followed him in.

It was just awkward that they were carrying gifts that weren't for Zhou Caiwei, and then taking them away afterward.

Anyway, they're in a pretty awkward situation right now.

Should I put down the gift in my hand or keep it?

At this moment, Old Zhou also came out to greet them with a smile, "Hehe, everyone's here!"

"I'm here to freeload again, and this time I'm bringing two more people!" Ye Chen grinned.

"Forget about freeloading, you can come and eat every day!" Old Zhou glanced at Zhou Caiwei and gave her a knowing look.

"Old Zhou!" Dongzi greeted Old Zhou with a smile.

Old Zhou smiled and nodded: "You guys are really something, coming all this way and bringing gifts. You've got a good capacity for alcohol, kid, you'd better drink a lot tonight!"

Dongzi smiled awkwardly, unsure how to respond.

No, no, they have important business to attend to tonight!
