Night Rose

Tu Ying said he would rip people off, but when it came to negotiating the contract with Zhao Xin, he was completely dominated by him. In a state of great distress, he called Su Jin, who was off-site, for help. Su Jin told him to agree.

After finally securing a sponsorship, they should make some concessions first. Once others see their achievements, sponsorships will naturally follow.

Tu Ying sighed as he signed the contract. When Zhao Xin, that old fox, shook his hand, he pretended to be friendly and said that he would contact him again when he reached the national competition and would definitely pay more.

"If it really comes to the national competition, I definitely won't save you a spot." Tu Ying stormed off.

After this incident, Tu Ying finally understood. Luckily, he listened to Su Jin and didn't sell the caravan, otherwise he might be suffering from someone else's mistreatment right now.

These old foxes are far more cunning than he can be.

Su Jin's race car became more and more complete every day, and the day Zhou Zheng and the others returned was getting closer and closer.

On the day autumn truly arrived, Zhou Zheng and Wang Tianle took the earliest flight back.

As soon as they landed, they saw two familiar figures standing at the door.

Su Jin and Tu Ying, who had been waiting for a long time, waved to them as soon as they saw them.

Wang Tianle changed the most. He still had a bit of baby fat when he left, but when he came back, he had a pointed chin, showing that he had suffered a lot. If he hadn't been walking with Zhou Zheng, they might not have recognized him.

Tu Ying exclaimed, "Wow! We can't call him 'Little Fatty' anymore! He's actually quite handsome now that he's lost weight! My training fees were definitely worth it!"

Zhou Zheng quickened his pace, walking briskly to Su Jin. His eyes were glued to her, scrutinizing her from head to toe to make sure she looked exactly the same as when he left.

Wang Tianle grinned foolishly and hugged Tu Ying. Zhou Zheng was a little envious of them, being able to hug openly. He wished he could pull Su Jin into his arms and kiss her hundreds of times.

But Su Jin touched her earlobe and coughed softly to remind him not to do anything reckless in front of Tu Ying and Wang Tianle!

"You've lost weight?" Zhou Zheng asked in a low voice.

Su Jin pinched her waist and didn't feel she had lost weight. Zhou Zheng, on the other hand, had a more defined facial structure than before. He looked thinner, but also more handsome.

"Without Chef Zhou cooking, you must have lost weight. Let's go back and have a good meal to replenish your bodies! You've all worked hard." Tu Ying raised an eyebrow slyly from the side.

"Cough cough!" Su Jin clenched her fist, pressed it to her lips, and coughed again, trying to cover up her misunderstanding. "Let's go, let's go."

Tu Ying was really going to be generous this time, booking a rather high-end restaurant with an average cost of four or five hundred yuan per person for business banquets. The people who frequented the restaurant were all prominent figures.

"Boss Tu, you've struck it rich, haven't you? You actually invited us to dinner at Cloud Pavilion! I have to post this on my WeChat Moments to commemorate it." Wang Tianle acted as if he had entered a grand garden, taking out his phone and snapping away, making even the thick-skinned Tu Ying feel uncomfortable.

Tu Ying tugged at his arm, "I said, can you stop filming? Give the boss some face. Besides, how have I ever treated you guys badly? Chef Zhou cooks for you, I paid for it, it wasn't cheap."

Su Jin and Zhou Zheng walked behind them. Su Jin asked him with a smile, "Isn't it cheap?"

Zhou Zheng said, "One thousand eight hundred a month."

"You didn't charge enough. We need to rip off Boss Tu a bit more," Su Jin said to him with a smile in a low voice.

"Zhou Zheng, wait a minute, let's go next door and buy a bottle of wine. Their wine is really expensive." Tu Ying said, turning around.

This was an old habit of Tu Ying's. The wine sold in restaurants was expensive and tasted terrible, so when he wanted to drink, he simply brought his own.

I guess they don't allow you to bring it here, but it's not illegal to buy a small bottle and put it in your pocket!

"Let's make this clear first, if they don't drink, I won't drink either," Su Jin said, drawing a clear line.

"Alright, alright, you two go up first and wait for us in the private room." Tu Ying turned around and tried to hook his arm around his good brother's shoulder, but he couldn't. So he simply put his arm around his back and led him out.

Inside the convenience store, Zhou Zheng stood at the door waiting for him to choose a bottle of wine. Tu Ying looked at the bottles slowly for a long time before finally picking out a small one.

When he finally got the bill, he just chuckled and didn't say a word while paying. He was heartbroken when he left the convenience store, and kept turning the small bottle of liquor over and over.

"It's really better to bring your own wine. The wine in my wine cellar isn't even as expensive as this small bottle."

"If you insist on buying here, who else would we rip off if not you?" Zhou Zheng replied.

As they walked back, Tu Ying put the small bottle of liquor in her pocket and asked Zhou Zheng mysteriously, "Hey, Su Jin came to see you on your birthday, right? What's going on between you two? Is good news on the way?"

"Nothing's wrong, they're not coming to see me," Zhou Zheng denied outright.

"Tch, you're still lying to me. I saw her buy a plane ticket to Beijing with my own eyes, and she had to pretend she didn't see it. It must have been so hard for her," Tu Ying exclaimed dramatically.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't react, he gave Zhou Zheng a cheeky push, "Don't be so formal with me! You go to New York to find her, and she goes to New York to find you. Only a fool wouldn't see that you two are not related!"

Zhou Zheng knew that Tu Ying was sharp in these areas, but he had promised Su Jin that he couldn't admit to a relationship, so he simply said, "No."

"Damn it, Zhou Zheng, I despise you! Are you even a man? There's something going on and you still deny it!" Tu Ying cursed as she followed Zhou Zheng.

As the waiter led them into the hotel elevator, a group of people came out of the elevator. The man in the lead met their eyes, smiled contemptuously, and was followed by several of Tu Ying's acquaintances, the same entrepreneurs who wouldn't even let him in the door. When they saw Tu Ying, their eyes darted away, avoiding his gaze.

Tu Ying's expression was priceless; he gritted his teeth as if he had seen some kind of mortal enemy.

"Long time no see, Zhou Zheng." He Zhangxing gave a formulaic smile.

Zhou Zheng looked up at him but didn't respond.

"Young Master He, is he an acquaintance?" someone nearby immediately chimed in.

"I guess so. You guys go first, I'll be right behind you." He Zhangxing waved his hand, and the person next to him immediately led the others away.

Only a few of them remained at the noisy elevator entrance.

He Zhangxing glanced back at his surroundings. "This restaurant is really low-class. Even people like you can come here. I won't eat here again next time."

"What do you mean?" Tu Ying puffed out her chest, her imposing manner in no way inferior to his. "How about your dad buys this restaurant and upgrades its class? You're already looking down on it? Who asked for your opinion!"

With no one else present, He Zhangxing's true colors were inadvertently revealed. He coldly looked at Tu Ying, "I just look down on you. What, haven't you had enough of being humiliated? How many sponsors have you managed to get? Is anyone even willing to invest in you?"

"You! Damn it, don't hold me back! Let me beat this kid to death!" Tu Ying impulsively tried to step forward, but Zhou Zheng grabbed her and held her down.
