Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

"What do you want to do?"

"I have a plan..."

...

While the Feng siblings were chatting, Fu Rong and Tao Tao were busy in the kitchen of the villa.

"This Zhou Fengliu... he never notifies me beforehand when guests come over for dinner. Isn't he making things difficult for me, the head chef?"

Fu Rong said she would definitely go to Zhou Fengliu later to ask for more money.

A fancy meal...that comes at a different price!

Hearing Fu Rong say this, Tao Tao, who was peeling garlic on the side, glanced at Fu Rong, and seemed to have something to say but hesitated.

To be fair, Teacher Tao is a smart person.

Judging from the reactions of Yanzi and Feng Xingtong when she and Fu Rong came in, she knew that Yanzi's relationship with Zhou Fengliu must be unusual.

It should be more than just friendship; at the very least... that Ms. Yanzi's feelings for Zhou Fengliu went beyond friendship.

How can we tell that?

As a teacher of the Tang Sect, a major assassination sect, Bai Lantao said: Human micro-expressions, breathing rhythm and frequency are all subconscious and cannot be controlled.

Based on the look of surprise and bewilderment on Yanzi's face when she heard Fu Rong say, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that a friend was coming?", and the way she looked at Zhou Fengliu, as well as Feng Xingtong's subsequent question, "Is this your sister-in-law?"

That's enough to figure something out...

The eyes can lie, but untrained human subconscious reactions won't.

This subconscious reaction wasn't unique to Yanzi; Fu Rong also exhibited it.

For example, when Fu Rong heard Feng Xingtong mention "sister-in-law" just now, Fu Rong didn't have a second reaction of refusing...

After these days of observation...

Having observed human nature, she had already figured out the relationship between these people in South China.

Zhou Fengliu is the head of this circle, a hands-off manager, while Zhang Lingyu is Zhou Fengliu's trusted second-in-command, a pillar of the South China region.

Chen Duo, that young girl, has a rather detached position in this circle, and her relationship with Zhou Fengliu is also sometimes close and sometimes distant.

The two are superior and subordinate, creditor and debtor, savior and benefactor, learner and learnee.

As for Zhou Fengliu's attitude towards Chen Duo, he was sometimes strict, urging her to cultivate diligently, and at other times, Chen Duo was quite patient with him...

In short, the relationship between the two was purely platonic.

As for the newcomer Fu Rong... that's quite interesting. Fu Rong and Zhou Fengliu seem to have known each other for a long time, and Fu Rong's interactions with Zhou Fengliu are quite contradictory.

Sometimes, Zhou Fengliu has absolutely no sense of propriety, treating her like family, cleaning and shopping for her...

Sometimes she maintains a significant distance from Zhou Fengliu, which is quite contradictory...

This contradiction leads to Fu Rong's expressions changing extremely quickly at times...

...

Watching Fu Rong humming a little tune as she prepared the ingredients, Tao Tao couldn't help but remind her:

"Rong, what do you think is the relationship between this Yanzi and Zhou Fengliu?"

"what?"

Hearing Tao Tao's question, Fu Rong turned her head and glanced at Tao Tao: "Teacher Tao, what did you say?"

"I'm saying... don't you feel that the relationship between that Yanzi and Zhou Fengliu is a bit unusual?"

"Is there any?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Rong raised an eyebrow slightly, and unconsciously pondered the question for a moment.

"I don't feel anything...aren't we friends?"

Upon hearing Fu Rong's answer, Tao Tao paused for a second, then nodded:

"They really are friends."

Faced with Tao Tao's sudden question, Fu Rong truly failed to grasp the deeper meaning behind Tao Tao's words.

It wasn't until dinner time that she understood what Tao Tao meant.

...

It didn't take long.

Under Chef Rong's skillful hands, Tao Tao served up one exquisite dish after another.

There were seven people in total. Fu Rong used limited ingredients to make eight dishes, one soup, and one staple food: fried dough sticks.

"Chicken soup is here..."

When Fu Rong brought out the chicken soup, it meant that all the dishes for tonight were ready.

"This chicken soup is incredibly delicious...you should drink it while it's hot..."

As Fu Rong spoke, she served several bowls to everyone. Looking at the colorful, fragrant, and delicious dishes in front of her, Feng Shayan suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Look at how well they made these dishes... they're really skilled.

"Let's eat..."

Zhou Fengliu, Zhang Lingyu, and Chen Duo also took their seats.

Faced with this table of delicious food, Zhou Fengliu didn't treat the Feng siblings as outsiders and started spinning around on his own.

Zhang Lingyu, who was standing to the side, nodded to Fu Rong and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Rong."

They then started showing off their food.

Chapter 347 A Complex and Imaginative Dinner (Second Update)

"Big brother... Sister Rong cooked such delicious food, aren't you going to have some drinks tonight?"

Compared to Zhang Lingyu and Zhou Fengliu's duo of eating rice, Feng Xingtong, the strategist, seemed uninterested in the food. He looked at Zhou Fengliu and asked him a question.

"This dish isn't very common... Rongzi, just do your best."

Zhou Fengliu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He glanced at the dishes on the table and indicated that this was the usual standard.

"If you'd like a drink, you can have one..."

"okay."

Feng Xingtong opened a few bottles of the wine they had brought today.

"Wow... Flying Moutai!"

Fu Rong recognized a few words on the bottle of liquor. Although she hadn't drunk much of it, she had heard of it many times.

"Hey... Sister Rong, drink more later. If you like it, I'll bring over a few more cases..."

Hearing Feng Xingtong's extravagant words, Fu Rong swallowed hard, wondering how much all that wine would cost.

"Speaking of drinking... I remember my older brother and sister have drunk together many times, right?" Feng Xingtong started the conversation while pouring drinks for everyone.

"Hmm...it seems like it's happened a few times," Zhou Fengliu replied while eating.

"Sis, have you ever drunk too much with my older brother?"

Hearing Feng Xingtong's words, Feng Shayan was stunned for a second, and then she recalled the first time she drank with Zhou Fengliu.

"Yes, the first time... I was drunk, and he seemed to be drunk too. Anyway, I woke up at his house..."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Rong, who had just sat down to eat, turned her gaze over.

"Drank that much?"

"It's alright, mainly because I didn't digest the Qi that day..." Feng Shayan said.

"I remember... my older sister told me that you and my older brother woke up in the same bed the next morning, right?"

Feng Xingtong seized the opportunity to look at his older sister and ask.

Although he was looking at his older sister, he still couldn't help but glance at Fu Rong and Tao Tao out of the corner of his eye.

He wanted to observe the two men's reactions when they heard this.

Don't say...

He actually noticed something.

When Fu Rong heard this, a look of shock flashed in her eyes, and then she looked at Zhou Fengliu.

While it may seem like a bit of gossip, it also feels like a way of seeking confirmation.

As for Tao Tao, she turned her gaze to him. The two exchanged a glance, and Tao Tao seemed to see through his intentions...

"No, I should have woken up on the sofa..."

Feng Shayan was also somewhat surprised by Feng Xingtong's words and hurriedly tried to make amends.

"Ah, then I must have remembered wrong..."
