The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Xu Yiyu and Sun Qingfei sat there and chatted for a long time. During this time, Su Zheng and Lu Sanshi went to help the two ladies get some snacks from the dining table, but the two ladies refused for the sake of body management, and the snacks eventually went into the stomachs of the two men.

Zhou Zhiyu noticed the harmonious and joyful atmosphere at the table from a distance. For some reason, she first went to the bar and got a glass of fruit wine, and then came up to the four people as Zhou Fu instructed.

The figure of the third daughter of the Zhou family was easy to spot. Xu Yiyu was also sharp-eyed. When he saw Zhou Zhiyu walking towards him with a smile, he immediately stopped talking and winked at Sun Qingfei beside him.

"Zhou Zhiyu should be here to say hello on behalf of her father. I suggest you give her some face and don't embarrass her."

The dinner on the first day of the auction was a glamorous place of fame and fortune. Most people who attended had their own purposes. Besides, Longtengju was surnamed Zhou after all, so Xu Yiyu didn't want to embarrass Zhou too much. He happened to hear Master Fei giving him advice at the right time, so he nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Su, Miss Sun."

Zhou Zhiyu came from the Zhou family, one of the four major families. On the surface, he performed etiquette quite well. He first said politely to the couple sitting in the main seat, and his smile was also perfect.

"Ms. Zhou, long time no see."

Su Zheng and Sun Qingfei nodded slightly towards Zhou Zhiyu as a return of courtesy. After all, no matter how bad the private reputation of the Zhou family's youngest daughter was, they still managed to save face. Naturally, they couldn't let others accuse them of being rude.

"Miss Xu, Mr. Lu, my father and the other three heads of the family are currently entertaining distinguished guests and are too busy to attend to you. That's why I was sent here to apologize to you two. I'm sorry that I didn't entertain you well today. Please forgive me."

Zhou Zhiyu had an apologetic smile on her face. She raised her glass to Xu Yiyu and spoke apology fluently. Then she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, as if she and Xu Yiyu were meeting for the first time. She did not mention the "chance encounter" between the three of them in Junshan Pavilion.

Her words were so beautifully and thoughtfully said, Xu Yiyu naturally would not be rude to her. He picked up his fruit drink and took a symbolic sip, with no sign of pretense on his smile.

"Miss Zhou, you are too polite. Please tell the Zhou family masters that they are busy these days and don't need to pay too much attention to a small figure like me. On the contrary, I was a little rude to them. I will naturally come to apologize to them another day. Please don't refuse me at all."

Xu Yiyu was polite to Zhou Zhiyu half-jokingly and half-sincerely, and his attitude made it impossible for Zhou Zhiyu to find fault with him.

She understood that the third daughter of the Zhou family was definitely not a fool who only knew how to "hunt for beauties". Her family background was there. Even if her personal habits were not easy to talk about in depth, her upbringing and politeness were engraved in her bones, so she would naturally be adept at entertaining outsiders.

"I heard from my father before that Miss Xu has been developing rapidly in Anhui Province recently. She has also established a large-scale holding group in a short period of time and recruited a large number of outstanding elite talents. I am interested in learning from Miss Xu. I wonder if you can do me the honor of agreeing to this small request?"

Although Xu Yiyu was somewhat confused by Zhou Zhiyu's initial flattery, her subsequent casual mention of "learning" and "seeking advice" instantly made Xu Yiyu understand the intention of her words.

It seems like he is being modest, but in fact he is flattering and warning... This Miss Zhou is a serious person with some brains.

"Miss Zhou, you are too kind. My group is still in its start-up phase and has not yet really reached a certain scale. And when it comes to large scale, the Zhou Group where Miss Zhou is currently working has a deep foundation and a wealth of talents. Those unconventional and makeshift teams in my group are naturally incomparable. Miss Zhou, please don't joke with me."

Xu Yiyu modestly pushed Zhou Zhiyu's question back exactly as it was, and practiced Tai Chi in a very serious manner, not taking the bait set by Zhou Zhiyu.

Zhou Zhiyu raised his eyelids and looked at Xu Yiyu, who was smiling modestly and politely in front of him. He had a higher opinion of her in his heart.

As he said refusing to respond or agree was so open and aboveboard, Zhou Zhiyu couldn't find Xu Yiyu's weakness to defeat him.

"After all, the Zhou family was founded by my father and the ancestors of the Zhou family. As a junior, I am lucky enough to be able to maintain the achievements. As for adding bricks and tiles to it, I dare not say anything nonsense."

Seeing that his attack missed the target, Zhou Zhiyu did not choose to continue dwelling on it. Instead, he took a different approach and started the conversation with Xu Yiyu from a different angle.

"If Miss Xu is interested, you can come to Zhou Group someday to take a look. It will be a good opportunity to help my father dispel the outrageous speculations about him by being a witness."

Lu Sanshi, who had been silent, narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly glanced at the seemingly warm and thoughtful third daughter of the Zhou family, and sneered in his heart.

"It is naturally an honor for a junior like me to visit Zhou's company."

Xu responded with an impeccable smile.

"However, I hope Miss Zhou or Patriarch Zhou can spare some time to be my guide. This is my first time there, and I am afraid of suddenly stepping into a confidential place. If it causes any trouble to Patriarch Zhou, it will be my fault."

Su Zheng, who was sitting quietly with his wife Sun Qingfei eating melons, watched the confrontation between Xu Yiyu and Zhou Zhiyu, and gave Xu Yiyu countless thumbs up in his heart.

"Wife, this enemy sister is really not easy to bully. She won't be fooled at all."

Su Zheng winked at Sun Qingfei and communicated with her eyes.

"That's right. How could Brother Yu possibly suffer at the hands of Zhou Zhiyu? If Longteng Residence wasn't the home turf of the Zhou family, she would have to give the Zhou family some face. The youngest daughter of the Zhou family would have been defeated long ago."

Sun Qingfei also responded with her eyes, and the communication was smooth.

Zhou Zhiyu originally wanted to use the Zhou group behind him to intimidate Xu Yiyu and let her know how powerful she was and that she would give in. However, he did not expect Xu Yiyu to actually take advantage of the situation and dare to let her father or someone from the Zhou family like her personally serve as her guide. If the employees of the Zhou group saw that his father was guiding Xu Yiyu, the chairman of a small group, who knows what kind of comments they would make about his father in private!

She really underestimated this woman's level! She didn't expect her to be so stubborn and not give her a chance to attack!

"Miss Xu, you are joking. If you are willing to take the time to visit the Zhou family, the Zhou family will naturally treat you as a guest of honor and will never be impolite."

Zhou Zhiyu responded passively, but unknowingly fell into the rhythm of Xu Yiyu's words and was subtly at a disadvantage.

"I'm afraid that what Miss Zhou said will have to wait until after the auction. However, if Patriarch Zhou invites me then, I, a junior, will accept the invitation no matter what. I just hope that Patriarch Zhou won't think that I am impolite because I look so exhausted."

When Zhou Zhiyu heard this, the veins on his forehead jumped twice without warning and he almost cursed out loud.

Humph, this Xu girl only has a small group, but she actually thinks she can be busier than her father, the head of the Zhou family in the imperial capital?

This is truly the most absurd thing in the world!
