Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 70

Zhen Xi heard Zhu Ling's name again from Zhen Tian.

At that time, he was running in the home gym. Zhen Tian lay on the equipment next to him and looked at him, "Do you have a work associate named Zhu Ling?"

"Ah?" Zhen Xi glanced at her sideways, a little surprised, "How do you know her? When did you start getting involved in the family business?"

"She is a regular customer in my bar. I just found out that you guys know each other!"

Hearing what she said, Zhen Xi laughed, "What a coincidence."

"Yes, she was also shocked." After Zhen Tian finished speaking, she still lay on the equipment and looked at Zhen Xi, "What is your impression of her?"

Zhen Xi slowed the speed a bit, gradually changing from running to walking, "What's there to say? She is very responsible in her work, and her business ability is also good. It is very easy to cooperate with her."

"Oh, what else?"

Zhen Xi looked at her strangely, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

Zhen Tian raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a gossipy smile, "It's her personal aspect, which has nothing to do with work."

"I haven't had any contact with her about anything that has nothing to do with work."

"..." Zhen Tian pursed her lips and didn't give up, "Then have you considered getting in touch with her?"

Zhen Xi turned off the treadmill, stopped, looked at Zhen Tian, and smiled, "So you came to see me today, just to be a matchmaker for your regular customer?"

"Hey, I see that you are so destined, an unmarried man and woman, maybe feelings can develop?"

"I don't need you to worry about my affairs." Zhen Xi picked up the towel lying beside him and got off the treadmill while wiping off his sweat, "I'm going to take a shower, don't follow me."

Zhen Tian, “....”

Who cares to follow you.

Zhen Tian said in her heart and went back to her room.

After Zhen Xi took a shower, he picked up his phone and looked through it, just in time to see Zhu Ling's Moments. Because of their cooperation, he and Zhu Ling have added friends to each other, but he has always assigned people added because of work into work groups. However, Zhu Ling doesn't seem to assign him to a workgroup because he has seen several of her daily posts on Moments.

Zhu Ling: My younger sister told me just now that the bell for class dismissal in their school is "Fur Elise,” which was appointed by the principal. The principal's wife is named Elise. [Smile]

Zhen Xi raised his eyebrows and liked her post.

This seems to be the first time he has liked Zhu Ling's Moments.

As soon as he clicked it, a comment popped up under Zhu Ling's post.

Zhen Tian: Haha, this public display of affection works [OK]

Zhu Ling replied to Zhen Tian: Why, do you want to make a "For Anchor Chen" in the bar? [Smile]

Zhu Ling replied to Zhen Tian: Ah, your brother liked my post!

Zhen Tian replied to Zhu Ling: ...he will also have a notification for your comment.

"Pfft." Zhen Xi laughed while holding the phone.

When he refreshed again, Zhu Ling’s reply mentioning him disappeared.

He put down his phone with a smile and turned on the hair dryer to dry his hair. Speaking of which, he had added Zhu Ling's WeChat a while ago, and their cooperation projects were all over. This was the first time he saw Zhen Tian replying to her post, so he never knew that Zhu Ling and Zhen Tian knew each other.

Zhu Ling and Zhen Tian are chatting privately now.

Zhu Ling: Ahhh why did your brother like my post all of a sudden?!

Zhen Tian: Maybe because I just asked him about you

Zhu Ling: [Frightened] What did you ask?

Zhen Tian: I asked him what his impression of you was. Don't worry, he has a good impression of you, saying that you are also very responsible for your work [thumbs up]

Zhu Ling: What do you mean, my beauty is not as outstanding as my work ability? :)

Zhen Tian: …No

Zhen Tian: Do you want to drink tomorrow night? I'm going to the store tomorrow, let's chat

Zhu Ling: All right, have you brewed any new beer recently?

Zhen Tian: Good Morning at 6 am, although there is no "For Anchor Chen", but I have beer [shy]

Zhu Ling: ?? :)

Zhu Ling: I won't go tomorrow :)

She said she wasn’t going, but when it was time to get off work, Zhu Ling ran to Zhen Tian's beer house to drink.

Drinking a glass of beer here after getting off work every day has become the best way for her to destress.

"Ha——" Zhu Ling took a sip of Zhen Tian's newly brewed beer, and let out a long breath, “Your beer is quite delicious, it suits my taste."

Zhen Tian said, "This beer is still being improved, I plan to use this to participate in the beer competition at the end of the year."

"Beer competition?" Zhu Ling had heard about it a little bit, "Did that Zhou Keye invite you?"

“En.”

"Your Anchor Chen actually agreed?" She remembered that Anchor Chen and this Zhou Keye were at odds.

Zhen Tian smiled shyly, "Although he doesn't like me being with Zhou Keye, he supports me because it's something I want to do."

"..." Zhu Ling was indignant, "Go away, I don't want you to make drinks for me, I want that handsome little brother over there to make drinks for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhen Tian's face changed. Zhu Ling was still wondering whether her words had such a great influence on Zhen Tian when she heard her shout behind her: "Brother, why are you here?"

"..." Zhu Ling turned her head stiffly and saw her handsome client standing behind her smiling.

Damn, did he hear what she said just now? Would he think she was a woman who teased little handsome guys everywhere she went?

Zhen Xi looked around in Zhen Tian's store and then sat down in the empty seat next to Zhu Ling, "I just came over on a whim. Your store is doing well."

The last time he came here was when Zhen Tian first opened for business, so it's no wonder that Zhen Tian was surprised by his sudden appearance.

"Uh..." Zhen Tian glanced at Zhu Ling who was suddenly sitting stiff and upright and asked Zhen Xi, "Then do you want something to drink?"

Zhen Xi glanced at the beer in front of Zhu Ling, and said with a smile, "I’ll have what she’s having, and let that handsome little brother over there make the drink for me."

Zhu Ling, “....”

He did hear her!

Zhen Tian coughed and asked Ah Zhong to make the drink for him. Zhen Xi turned and looked at Zhu Ling beside him, "What a coincidence, Ms. Zhu."

"En, it's really a coincidence, haha." Zhu Ling laughed dryly and picked up a beer glass to take a few sips to calm down, "I often come here to drink. I didn't know the boss was your sister."

"I only heard about it from her recently." Zhen Xi still had a smile on his lips. He looked at Zhu Ling's beer, which was only half finished, and asked her, "What did you order?"

Zhu Ling said, "It's Boss Zhen's newly brewed wine. It's called Good Morning at 6 am. It's the beer she made for Anchor Chen."

Zhu Ling specially added the last sentence.

"..." Zhen Xi was silent for a moment, then turned his head to the bar, "That handsome little brother, I don't want this glass of beer."

Ah Zhong, "..."

I already made it, so you still have to pay for it!

"Put it here first." Zhen Tian put the beer in front of her and looked at Zhen Xi across from her, "Go home and sleep if you have nothing to do, don't mess around here."

"How am I messing around? Can’t I even care about my sister's business?" Zhen Xi said plausibly, "When it comes to doing business, I have more experience than you. If you don't understand anything, hurry up and tell me. I can teach you."

"Hehe." Zhen Tian rolled her eyes in disdain, "I won't talk about anything else, but when it comes to beer, you really don't have anything worthy to give advice about."

"Oh, do you look down on me, little girl? My drinking age is longer than yours."

Zhen Tian blinked her eyes, and bent down to search for something under the bar, "Wait a second."

Both Zhu Ling and Zhen Xi looked at her curiously, and soon, Zhen Tian took out a paper with color swatches and put it in front of Zhen Xi. "Just tell me, which beer colors are these?"

Zhen Xi, “....”

Looking at the similar color blocks on the paper, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. This is even harder to figure out than when his ex-girlfriend asks him about different lipstick colors.

Hmm... I guess this is yellow beer, this is black beer." Zhen Xi pointed to the two color blocks with the biggest difference in color and said to Zhen Tian.

Zhen Tian sneered and pointed to three of the color blocks on the paper, "Just tell me, among these three colors, which one is amber beer?"

"..." Zhen Xi pretended to think for a while, then turned his head to Zhu Ling, "You can't drive after drinking, why don't I take you home."

"O, okay." Zhu Ling responded.

Zhen Xi smiled, "I see that you’re almost done. Have you paid your bill, if not I can pay for it for you."

“I haven’t paid…”

Zhen Xi took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from his designer wallet, and put them on the bar counter, just covering the color swatch paper that Zhen Tian took out, "Keep the change, goodbye."

Zhen Tian, “...”

Heh, you run really fast.

Zhen Xi's car was nearby. He and Zhu Ling walked out of Zhen Tian's bar and unlocked his car with a beep, "This way."

Zhu Ling was a little nervous at the moment. It was not the first time for her to ride in a car of the opposite sex, but now they had just come out of a bar and were going to her house... Most importantly, the previous men were not so handsome.

"What's the matter? I see you only had one drink, why is your face so red?" Zhen Xi turned to look at Zhu Ling. Zhu Ling hiccupped softly, smiled, and said to him, "Maybe it was a bit stuffy inside."

She followed Zhen Xi into the car and put on her seat belt. Zhen Xi specially opened the window a little and said to her, "Just let the air blow."

"En." Zhu Ling nodded earnestly.

"Where do you live? I'll put it in the navigation."

Zhu Ling reported her home address to him. After Zhen Xi set up the navigation, he drove the car out.

Qingnan Lane is no longer the unadulterated Qingnan Lane from before. Since it has developed better and become a landmark of A City's nightlife, the parking lot here has also become a place for rich people in A City to show off their wealth.

Naturally, it also attracts many women to come here to find their prey.

Among the luxury cars gathered together, Zhen Xi's car still attracts the most women's attention. The car he drives is not the most expensive among these cars, but...he should be the most handsome among all the car owners.

If it weren't for the fact that there was already a woman sitting in his passenger seat, many people would definitely want to come up and let him give them a ride.

Zhu Ling is now facing such intense gazes, pretending to look straight ahead as if nothing had happened.

After the car drove out of Qingnan Lane, she was slightly relieved.

Those women must be thinking why is she the one sitting in this car?
