Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Not Taking Care of Oneself in Youth Leads to Sorrow in Old Age
Zhou Yu had listened to Wan Jiang’s words before he looked at Huo Xingzhou’s collar.
Indeed, the tie was ugly, definitely not something Huo Xingzhou would tie himself. He was always meticulous about his attire, so it was impossible for him to tie such a tie.
The others also issued friendly chuckles of mockery.
"President Huo, we haven’t seen this way of tying a tie before. Did you not pay attention when you left this morning? Today is the signing day for both of our parties, you couldn’t have been nervous, could you?"
"Haha, even President Huo gets nervous?"
Zhou Yu couldn’t stand them belittling Huo Xingzhou.
He sneered and said, "You all must be single, right? This clearly looks like our boss’s wife tied it, and President Huo didn’t want to untie it. Looks like the new wife still isn’t skilled enough, needs more practice."
Young Master Zhong’s face turned slightly cold.
Wan Jiang’s laughter stopped abruptly, and he touched his nose.
He really knew how to stir the pot.
Young Master Zhong stood up, carrying an aura of aloof casualness.
"Wan Jiang, take the contract and let’s go."
"Alright, Young Master Zhong."
Wan Jiang still politely snickered, "President Huo, goodbye."
One by one, the people left the conference room.
Zhou Yu propped himself up with one hand, sitting on the conference table.
He looked at Huo Xingzhou and said, "You know, your way of tying the tie is quite unique. Showing off your love even at the negotiation table, you really do have some nerve."
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him, "If you want to show off love, you can also get married."
Zhou Yu’s expression became a bit unnatural, "What’s so good about marriage? You can show love without getting married. Just wait until I find a girlfriend..."
Huo Xingzhou raised an eyebrow, "You don’t have a girlfriend now?"
"Busy with social interactions and project discussions every day, when do I have time to find a girlfriend? I won’t talk to you anymore, I managed to get the last number to go see Sister-in-law for a pulse check. I’ve sacrificed a lot for the company."
Feeling a bit guilty, Zhou Yu promptly left.
He went to the main conference room and saw several familiar colleagues lying on the therapy bed, along with Jin Kai comfortably lying there too.
Shu Xue was the only one attending to them.
He walked in, feigning aloof cordiality, "Where’s Qiao Xi?"
Shu Xue didn’t even look up, "Went to the restroom."
"Oh."
Zhou Yu tentatively said, "Are you going for a red wine bath tonight?"
Shu Xue slowly looked up at him with an annoyed tone, "Why? You want to come too?"
"Huo Xingzhou will definitely be with Qiao Xi in one pool, don’t you feel a bit lonely being alone?" Zhou Yu looked at her, his deep blue pupils slightly amused.
The last time they were intimate in the car, it ended on a sour note.
Shu Xue said she was going to have dinner with Qin Yuan’s parents to discuss their engagement. Zhou Yu had been drinking for days for the Zhong Family project, and neither had calmed down to talk.
Shu Xue looked at him and said, "You just reminded me, being alone is indeed a bit boring. I’ll call Qin Yuan now to see if he’s free tonight, a perfect chance to foster our relationship."
Zhou Yu, upon hearing her words, felt a surge of irritation within him.
"Do you have to provoke me?"
Shu Xue, as she organized the acupuncture needles, said, "I’m not provoking you. Mr. Zhou, please don’t hinder my work."
Shu Xue also felt uneasy inside.
She had interacted with Qin Yuan for so long, yet felt no emotional connection.
She was very clear, she liked Zhou Yu’s personality and his looks. This man was addictive, impossible to quit.
Zhou Yu, having been softly rebuffed, looked even more displeased.
"I won’t let it go, I’m here for a consultation."
He directly took a seat with his legs crossed, watching Shu Xue’s every move intently. Wherever she went, his eyes followed, much to the perplexity of some colleagues in the room.
They murmured to themselves, wondering if Mr. Zhou had some issue with this young nurse.
Jin Kai, on the other hand, enjoyed the scene, his plump face beaming with friendliness.
...
Elsewhere.
Qiao Xi hurried out of the restroom, rushing to the conference room to take pulses and see patients for the employees of Tianyuan Group. As she passed through the corridor, she saw a group of impressively dressed men waiting for the elevator.
The young man at the forefront had a slender figure, elegant like a bamboo.
His profile was strikingly superior.
Qiao Xi couldn’t help but take a few extra glances, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
But he soon entered the elevator.
She didn’t think much of it and went straight back to the large conference room, only to sense the odd atmosphere between Shu Xue and Zhou Yu.
"Ahem."
Qiao Xi cleared her throat softly.
Zhou Yu turned his head and greeted very naturally, "Sister-in-law, take my pulse, please. We who accompany others for drinks get a special right to jump the queue."
"Okay, then take a seat here."
Qiao Xi’s gaze shifted from Shu Xue back to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu sat down across from her and stretched out his hand.
Qiao Xi placed her fingers on the pulse on his wrist, focusing intently. After a while, her gaze settled on Zhou Yu’s face.
She said, "You look pale and your heartbeat is slightly rapid, the pulse extremely weak and slow."
Zhou Yu slapped his thigh, "Exactly! I drank so much for this big project. Sister-in-law, you should get Huo Er to give me a commission. He even said yesterday that the deal wasn’t signed by me, so he won’t count it as my commission."
Qiao Xi spoke softly, "Indeed, the reasons include drinking and staying up late. You should be careful."
"Does this count as a work injury? Sister-in-law, speak well of me to Huo Er so he gives me the commission."
Standing nearby, Shu Xue pricked up her ears to their conversation, snorting softly when Zhou Yu kept mentioning commissions.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, feeling slightly embarrassed, "Mr. Zhou, this is the pulse of someone with blood loss. Mainly it’s due to deficiency of kidney energy and lack of kidney water, you really need to restrain yourself recently."
Zhou Yu’s face turned red.
"Me? Kidney deficiency?"
Qiao Xi nodded earnestly, "It’s somewhat true, you need to take care of it for a while. Recently, you must refrain from going out..." Her eyes quickly swept over Shu Xue, noticing her blushing cheeks.
Qiao Xi thought they had broken up, yet here they were still flirting around.
Zhou Yu looked somewhat embarrassed.
Especially when Jin Kai, receiving acupuncture treatment on the bed, burst into laughter, "Mr. Zhou, you’re not being fair. Have you got a girlfriend recently or are you playing around in clubs? With your flirty nature, you’ll stumble sooner or later. Take my advice, if you don’t take care now, you’ll regret it when you’re older."
Use it too much now, and it won’t work later.
Zhou Yu couldn’t help but retort, "Oh Jin, cut it out."
Jin Kai laughed even harder, "Ouch, the needle hurts."
Shu Xue reminded, "Mr. Jin, please keep your emotions stable. Don’t move around randomly..."
"Little sister."
Jin Kai looked at Shu Xue and said, "Do you have a partner? I have a few cousins who are talented and studied abroad. Let me introduce you to them..."
Jin Kai was quite shrewd, having seen through the subtle dynamics between Shu Xue and Zhou Yu.
He was definitely up to no good.
