Chapter 753 2 Not Confused 13
She went upstairs and sat down opposite Zhou Xun. Only then did he look up at her.
"You're here. Take a look. What would you like to drink?" Zhou Xun asked first, then picked up the menu on the table and handed it to her.
He then waved to a spot not far away, and a waitress came over: "What would you like to order?"
Meng Yubei opened the menu: "An iced Americano and a matcha Basque cake."
After she finished ordering, she handed the menu to Zhou Xun: "I've ordered, take a look."
Zhou Xun took it but didn't open it. Instead, he said directly, "Me too."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter picked up the menu and turned to leave.
Meng Yubei glanced at her phone: "Your flight is at 6:30, so you should leave for the airport around 5:00."
"Yes, we can talk for two hours."
"What do you want to talk about?"
"I didn't even have a chance to talk to you last night before I got drunk." Zhou Xun said this with a hint of embarrassment.
Thinking of last night, Meng Yubei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "If you don't mind, they can make you drink."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun generously replied, "It's nothing."
He no longer looks like he did this morning, with a headache and regret after drinking.
If only I had said more last night, I could have declined a few drinks.
Judging from his appearance, it seems he had blacked out; he didn't remember what Zhang Xin and Meng Yinan asked him last night, nor did he remember his own answers.
However, it's not certain; perhaps they're just too embarrassed to show it.
Meng Yubei didn't bring it up specifically; he had to save face for the other person.
A moment later, the waiter came over with a tray and set out the coffee and cake for the two of them: "Please enjoy your meal."
"Thank you." The two thanked him, and Meng Yubei picked up his coffee and took a sip.
An iced Americano is definitely the best way to wake up. It's slightly bitter and very cold, and it instantly makes you feel refreshed.
Zhou Xun first picked up a small spoon, tasted a bite of cake, and then ate two more bites before stopping, as he liked sweet things.
"The cake is nice. This cafe is close to where you live, do you come here often?"
"Occasionally, I'll come over for a visit when I have time."
Zhou Xun said, "I came in a hurry this time and didn't have time to look around. I'll come again next time I have more time."
He only went out for a walk by himself on Saturday afternoon.
However, since I'm not very good at playing, I didn't see anything particularly special.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yubei said, "I originally promised to take you around. I'll definitely make arrangements next time you come."
"I'm glad you don't find me troublesome," Zhou Xun said with a smile, his mood visibly brightening.
"No, you're not one to cause trouble," Meng Yubei said directly.
"That's good. Your Yunqing Capital has developed very well in the past two years. Perhaps we will cooperate in our work in the future."
After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he picked up his Americano and took a sip. The bitter taste spread in his mouth. He then took a bite of cake.
Meng Yubei nodded slightly, noticing that he seemed to enjoy sweets, and took a bite of the cake as well.
"Yes, I heard from my brother about your plan to start a business. It will be a bit difficult at the beginning, but I'm sure you'll be fine."
"Thank you for your kind words. The main problem in the early stages is funding. I might partner with someone."
"I was lucky back then; I made a sum of money to start my own business by buying stocks and investing."
Zhou Xun said directly, "Luck is one aspect, but you must also have a certain level of accurate judgment."
He also buys stocks, but he doesn't make any rash investments. However, the money he earns is still not enough to cover the initial capital needed to start the company.
Therefore, it is conceivable that Meng Yubei was able to earn so much money not only because of his ability and luck, but also because of his keen observation and intuition.
She has a knack for accurately seizing opportunities that offer both financial gain and career advancement.
"We were chatting, and somehow we ended up praising each other?" Meng Yubei chuckled.
"That's true." Zhou Xun couldn't help but smile.
The two then chatted casually about some financial topics, mainly expressing their views on the current financial market.
In the end, Zhou Xun successfully narrowed the distance between the two, and even after they finished talking, they both felt a sense of appreciation for each other.
Meng Yubei believes that Zhou Xun is indeed a promising talent, and in the original storyline, he was indeed a professional elite.
Zhou Xun felt that Meng Yubei was as rational as he was, and that they shared some common interests, but she was more carefree than him.
During his year-long internship, he witnessed the complexities of society and his mindset changed a lot compared to when he was in school.
Meng Yubei started her own business when she was a sophomore in college.
There are many more problems to face, but what I see most in her is composure and calmness.
This is a sign of confidence, and it makes her even more attractive.
Anyway, Zhou Xun's visit this time was both about his feelings for Meng Yubei and the comfort of being with her.
Unsurprisingly, my liking for her deepened even further.
Before leaving, Zhou Xun finally asked the question he most wanted to ask and the words he most wanted to say.
Do you have a boyfriend now? If not, can I pursue you?
Over the past few years, he has been keeping track of her relationship status but has not noticed anything unusual.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yubei was not surprised by his question. She smiled slightly and said, "Not for now. You are free to pursue me."
"I understand." Zhou Cunxun's smile brightened considerably.

When Zhou Xun returned to Shanghai, Su Hang went straight to his place after learning about it.
"What have you been up to? Why are you only getting back now?" Su Hang looked him up and down and said.
"Come in first, don't stand at the door and talk."
"Okay, I'll sit down. Come over and tell me everything." Su Hang walked in and sat down on the sofa.
Zhou Xun handed him a bottle of water and sat down on the sofa: "What do you want to ask?"
"Was your trip to Beijing on official business or personal matters?"
"Private matter."
"Personal matter? Meeting someone or doing business?"
"To see people."
Hearing this, Su Hang became interested and asked with a smile, "If you're meeting someone, is it a man or a woman?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun paused for a moment before saying, "Yes, I have both."
Upon seeing his reaction, Su Hang immediately sat up straight: "Something's not right with you. Confess honestly."
Zhou Xun was silent for a moment before saying, "You have a lot of experience in relationships, do you know how to pursue someone?"
"Chasing someone? So you're going to meet someone you like this time? Who is it? It's not like you're meeting someone you met online in person, is it? I didn't know you did online dating??"
"No, just tell me how to do it."
"Tsk tsk, I never thought I'd see you asking me for advice on pursuing someone."
"If you don't know, then go back and wash up and go to bed early," Zhou Xun said.
Upon hearing this, Su Hang immediately became displeased: "Of course I know. Although I've always been a womanizer, I'm still better than someone like you who's never even tasted pork."
