The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd!

150 Just a Stranger

It was inevitable that a mature and steady man like Zhou Xuan would be noticed by others. His sharp black eyes were as deep as the sea, making it impossible to see the bottom. His strong face was suffused with an angular coldness, causing many young ladies who passed by to take a few more glances.

Upon being asked, Shan Yue blurted out, “He’s just a stranger.”

Hearing this, Zhou Xuan’s expression did not change at all. He looked around and found a relatively quiet corner to sit down. He picked up the menu beside him and twirled the pen in his hand twice before sketching beside a few signature dishes. After handing the menu to the boss, he did not even look up. He only said coldly, “Serve the dishes.”

The boss did not dare to delay at all. He personally ran to the kitchen to instruct them to cook, afraid that he would neglect anything.

Shan Yue did not care about the gaze of others and sat opposite Zhou Xuan. “The food in this restaurant is very slow. After all, food is like money. Good things always come later.”

When Zhou Xuan heard this, not only was he not angry, but his originally cold face also softened a little. Shan Yue’s words were pointing at him, hinting that his Zhou family had paid late.

A strange little girl, Zhou Xuan thought. Then, he revealed a playful smile and called Zhou Yang, asking for Shan Yue’s card number. As Zhou Xuan hung up, a message popped up on Shan Yue’s phone, indicating that five million yuan had been transferred.

Only then was Shan Yue slightly satisfied. This was what a large corporation should be like.

“My Zhou family doesn’t lack money, but people who are avaricious will probably die for money in the future.” Although Zhou Xuan’s sudden words were calm, there was a hidden sharpness.

Shan Yue did not care about his sarcasm at all. The money she had accumulated now was only to prepare for her future plans. In Shan Yue’s mind, she would never forget the scene of her colleagues, who were like family in the organization, plotting against her along with the organization.

She would do anything for revenge. From an angle that Zhou Xuan could not see, Shan Yue’s gaze gradually became sharp and hair-raising.

“The dishes have been served. The specialties of our restaurant are all here. They’re home-cooked. If you’re not satisfied, feel free to mention them.”

Looking at her boss’s solicitous attitude, Shan Yue could not help but shake her head. In the past, when she brought Shan Chen here, she had never seen the boss so enthusiastic. However, the food was indeed quite to his liking.

The two of them started eating. Zhou Xuan ate the simple food and for some reason, he suddenly felt a little emotional. “It’s indeed home-cooked. I haven’t eaten it in many years. I’m busy with the company’s matters every day. It’s either delicacies or casual.”

After saying that, even he was stunned. After all, he didn’t understand why he would say this to someone he had only met twice.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Xuan was the head of the Zhou Corporation. Above ten million people, he was the target of everyone’s envy, but only Zhou Xuan himself could understand the true bitterness.

Zhou Xuan was Old Master Zhou’s youngest son. Ever since he was born, Old Master Zhou had placed all his hopes on him. From a young age, he had been trained to have a mind that exceeded his peers.

Zhou Xuan did not have a childhood. What awaited him was endless conspiracies. He had stepped into the competition of the business world early on. Gradually, he understood that only change could allow him to survive. It was because of many years of struggle that he had become so mature and steady.

When Zhou Xuan was still young, his mother had been schemed against by a competitor and died. This had always been a knot in Zhou Xuan’s heart. As his father was old, he withdrew from the competition after Zhou Xuan took over. On the surface, Zhou Xuan looked superior, but he was actually very lonely.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xuan’s words were not important to Shan Yue. She did not even say a word. After all, she was more interested in eating than Zhou Xuan.

“Shan Yue…” The two of them were eating when a woman suddenly barged in cursing and shouting curses from time to time.
