Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 290 288. You choose, one of the two
Zhou Sining is indeed extremely smart.

But Guan Yongyi has been with her for such a long time since childhood, so naturally he would not be easily led by her.

At four o'clock, several new customers appeared in the hot spring bath on the third floor of the Kempinski Hotel Hangzhou.

In addition to Guan Yongyi who gladly accepted the invitation, He Ying, Xie Yujia, and several female employees from the night study room also appeared at the bathhouse.

In a public place with so many acquaintances, Zhou Si Ning couldn't really do anything, and Guan Yongyi was still wearing concealer.

Even if you go to the steam room or SPA, some clues that may expose you will gradually disappear in the girls' conversation and laughter.

The whisper between two people and the casual chat with a group of people are essentially two completely different things.

Zhou Si Ning's attempt failed and was resolved into nothingness.

However, when it was time for dinner, Guan Yongyi said that he didn't want to eat with the two of them at all.

No matter how Zhou Si Ning invited her, she always said the same few words.

"I dont go."

"Hey, why do you always ask me to eat with you guys?"

"Can't we just change someone when showing affection?"

"I've had enough! No!"

"Don't let people say I have no emotional intelligence anymore!"

Seeing that the short-haired girl seemed to have made up her mind, Zhou Sining did not insist.

Taking advantage of the fact that the snow had stopped long ago, Guaiguai and Lu Jincheng ran to the restaurant she had been longing for and had a candlelight dinner.

For some unknown reason, Zhou Sining asked for a bottle of red wine for the first time and took the initiative to relax with Lu Jincheng.

I want to have a drink at night.

Perfect excuse, the right atmosphere.

"Let me tell you, our store in Jiangcheng is not yet fully profitable, but you want to continue expanding. Do you want to slow down a bit?"

The two sat facing each other, the brown-haired girl rested her chin on one hand and poked the steak on the plate hard.

"Loans need to be repaid, supply chains in other places need to be rebuilt from scratch, and many things are best considered in the long term."

When talking about business, Zhou Si Ning couldn't help but frowning slightly, her eyes full of worry.

"What if the funding chain is broken and we can't pay back the loan?"

"Don't worry about that."

Lu Jincheng shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.

I just made an epic profit in the stock market, and now I have plenty of bullets.

There is food in hand and no panic in mind.

“You have also done market research. The coffee industry is facing the pain points of rapid product iteration and serious homogeneity. It is not easy to maintain differentiated high-speed growth.”

Lu Jincheng rubbed his face and explained patiently.

"But companies cannot wait until brand differentiation is formed before expanding. We need to stake out territory and spend money boldly."

"Don't worry about not being able to pay back the loan. I'll take care of everything."

"After the case was decided, I asked Attorney Shang to do some calculations. He said that we should receive several million dollars, which is enough to help us out of this urgent situation."

Mr. Lu smiled and spread out his hands, looking confident.

"But is it appropriate for you to use the income from other businesses on us?"

Zhou Si Ning shook her head subconsciously, picked up the red wine glass with her left hand, and took a sip.

Although she knew that the man would have a way, she still felt a little unsure.

In her understanding, there is no concept of a group company at present. She always feels that solving the problem in this way is more like transferring money from one hand to the other, which is not the right way.

Of course not.

Once Mr. Lu really goes too far or stops injecting capital, there is indeed a risk of the capital chain being broken.

After all, he is not the legal representative of Dianjin Coffee.

"You don't have to think too much. What's inappropriate?"

The man smiled, his lips slightly raised, without commenting.

"The money for the factory was paid from the loan, so it doesn't matter. Just think of it as a profit and give it back to the team."

In fact, he had done something that Zhou Si Ning had overlooked, both overtly and covertly.

That is, except for Dianjin Coffee, all other companies are Lu Jincheng's own properties.

Kedianjin Coffee also has Zhou Sining and her father as co-investors.

"Ok."

At this time, Zhou Si Ning didn't know what to advise.

If she were a more cautious person, she would definitely not adopt Lu Jincheng's style of play.

But the fact that Dianjin Coffee has been able to develop from scratch to what it is today is closely related to Mr. Lu’s unique abilities.

Even traffic marketing, product pricing, and fashion trends, every step is taken precisely and steadily.

Mr. Lu's judgment has always gone against the mainstream, but he can still make a lot of money.

For example, Dianjin Media, which has opened up a new track, has proven its capabilities many times in different fields.

She couldn't help but not believe it.

As they chatted, Zhou Si Ning's cheeks gradually turned red and she felt drunk.

She couldn't drink much, and she wasn't like Guan Yongyi, who occasionally had a drink to soothe herself at home. There was already a hint of confusion between her brows.

"I can't open my eyes if I don't drink anymore. Let's go back."

"it is good."

Lu Jincheng supported Zhou Sining, waved for a car, and returned to the hotel together.

Room 1308.

Zhou Si Ning seemed drunk.

As soon as she entered the room, she hung on the man like a koala and refused to let go no matter what.

A pair of delicate peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, her arms were wrapped around Lu Jincheng's neck, and there was a minty scent between her lips and teeth.

"husband"

She took off her coat, and the man held her in his arms and moved her to the center of the sofa.

The name that rarely appears in daily life, accompanied by a soft and sticky voice, rang in Lu Jincheng's ears.

“I feel so insecure.”

There was no eye contact, no affection.

Zhou Si Ning just turned her head, pressed her cheek against the man's shoulder, and murmured something.

"What's up, baby?"

Lu Jincheng's heart tightened and he spoke softly.

"I don't know why, but I just feel very insecure. I'm so scared."

The unique Wu dialect, combined with the girl's sweet voice, can almost melt one's heart.

"I understand that you are very busy. Unlike me, who only needs to think about ordering golden coffee, you have to worry about many things at the same time and don't have much time."

"But, but this is my first time in love, I really can't control myself."

"Sometimes when you don't reply to my messages, I can't help but wonder if you don't like me anymore, if there are other girls with you, right?"

The room was strangely quiet, with only Zhou Si Ning's monologue as the voice.

"Baby, is there something I did wrong?"

Lu Jincheng placed his hands on the edges of her collarbones, bent his knees slightly, and kept them at the same level.

"When two people are together, they must get along with each other."

He also showed his gentle side, patiently lengthening his tone and continuing.

"If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, don't keep it in your heart. Tell me and I will change."

She met his eyes.

"No."

Zhou Si Ning shook her head.

"You didn't do anything wrong. Maybe I'm just too sensitive and tend to overthink."

As the only daughter in a single-parent family, she is actually very typical.

These people are basically meticulous, sensitive and suspicious.

"I'm sorry, I'm trying to control myself."

"."

This tactic of retreating to advance was naturally familiar to the knowledgeable Mr. Lu. If it were any other boy, he would probably be stunned by Zhou Si Ning's pitiful look.

Who can resist this unrivalled beauty, and her coquettish expression when she demands a sense of security?

If Lu Jincheng didn't really feel guilty, he could still remain somewhat lucid.

I'm afraid they have already raised their hands, adopted a policy of appeasement, and given up all resistance.

I feel so sorry for it and cherish it so much.

I want to expose all my sincerity and love to the sun and prove it to Zhou Si Ning over and over again.

So that she will never lose her sense of security again.

But little do they know that this is actually falling into a woman's trap.

Humans’ lack of security in love is more like the legendary Schrödinger’s cat.

Perhaps the only one who can give you true sense of security is yourself.

Therefore, Lu Jincheng's answer was the opposite.

Just like straight men who can’t understand women’s hearts.

"Yeah, baby, you really should try harder."

"Control this unnecessary emotion, just like last time, why are you jealous of your employees?"

With just a few words, Lu Jincheng turned the conversation to his senior schoolmate.

But what he didn't know was that the shield he had deliberately created was no longer useful.

Zhou Si Ning, who was very thoughtful, had already completed the search for the enemy in the void in a certain dimension through all the details.

Miao Keyan?

Yes, just like you said, I am just an employee of the company.

At this time, she really didn't care that much.

"Hahahahahaha, I am trying hard. I control myself very well. I have stopped being jealous of her a long time ago."

Zhou Si Ning chuckled.

She ran one hand along the ends of her hair, stroking her cascading hair, her cheeks flushed, still looking so charming.

"Awesome."

Lu Jincheng also laughed.

"But some people can control it."

Zhou Sining suddenly turned her eyes and stared at Lu Jincheng's expression.

“Some people really can’t do it.”

She didn't give the man any time to react and just threw out the name.

It was like a sudden thunderclap out of nowhere.

"For example, Guan Yongyi."

"what?"

Lu Jincheng looked surprised and tried hard to control his facial muscles and expressions.

"Don't make such a weird expression. Are you trying to say, no, you're jealous of your best friend?"

Zhou Si Ning kept talking rapidly, and it was unclear whether she was sober or just talking drunkenly.

"Yes, that's right, it's her."

"She was just too close to you, too close. Didn't you feel it?"

"I"

Lu Jincheng tried to defend himself.

"Don't talk yet, just listen to me."

When Zhou Si Ning found out that the man didn't buy into her hints at all, she became obviously angry.

She simply spoke her mind.

Who is the girlfriend?
Girlfriends are naturally angry in this attitude!
Lu Jincheng rubbed his stiff smile, remained silent, and listened to Zhou Si Ning's wanton talk.

"I now suspect she might like you."

"Don't deny it, and don't be stubborn. I'm not talking about you. Can you please listen to me?"

Seeing that the man seemed to be hesitant to speak, Zhou Si Ning raised her eyebrows again and put one hand on his mouth.

"Sometimes I find it horrible that you two could get so close right under my nose, like it was a natural thing to do."

"Of course, I can't blame anyone for this. I can only say that this is my first time in a relationship and I didn't pay attention to many things."

"You and her meet every now and then, right?"

"I'm either giving cats injections or discussing paper writing. Occasionally, we meet for debate competitions. I can't believe I run into you even when I'm working part-time at a law firm!"

Having said this, Zhou Si Ning seemed to have finally found an outlet under the influence of alcohol, and vented all the resentment that had been pent up in his heart for a long time.

She couldn't help but laugh out of anger, staring at Lu Jincheng and continued speaking.

"Sometimes I really can't tell whether this is a coincidence or deliberate."

"Of course, none of this is that important."

"What makes me suspicious is her reaction."

Zhou Si Ning sat up straight, crossed her arms, and straightened her waist and shoulders in a natural arc.

"You know, she doesn't like to hear me mention you. Every time I talk about you, she either changes the subject or talks about it perfunctorily. She seems to have no patience at all."

"I used to think that she might have some opinion about you."

"Now that I think about it, it's simply because I'm confused!"

"Did you notice the expressions on her face while she was eating?"

Lu Jincheng paused, met the girl's inquiring gaze, and slowly shook his head.

"You told her to have some emotional intelligence, and she immediately lost her composure!"

"You said that a short absence is better than a new marriage, and you want to spend the night with me. As soon as you said this, it seemed that she was immediately unhappy."

Zhou Si Ning pursed her lips, and there was a hint of excitement in her tone.

"She even asked me to be more reserved. She seemed a little anxious."

"Anyway, I think she just likes you."

"Okay, now you can talk."

"What do you think?"

After a series of speeches that took up a stance and the moral high ground, Lu Jincheng felt his mouth dry.

“Well, I think you’re overthinking it.”

"Why would anyone like their best friend's boyfriend?"

The man turned his neck, trying to ease the embarrassment with small movements.

"Besides, I'm not her type. She calls me a scumbag every day."

"That's all right."

Zhou Sining seemed to have guessed the man's reaction. She turned around with a smile and put her arms around him again.
