The family of three walked to the parking lot. Zou Bai had already installed the children’s safety seats in advance. Jiang An and Jiang Yi sat in the back row. Zou Bai made sure that the two of them had fastened their seatbelts before setting off. “Let’s go eat coconut chicken. Although it’s light, there’s also chili sauce. Little Wingsy can also drink some unsalted soup and chicken.”
When bringing a child out, one had to consider the child first. Jiang An smiled and teased, “I didn’t expect you to get into the role so quickly.”
Zou Bai looked at Jiang An through the rearview mirror. “Couldn’t 1 have been prepared from long ago?”
Jiang An frowned and asked in confusion, “What do you mean by prepared from long ago?”
Zou Bai’s lips curled up slightly as he looked at the road. “Think about it yourself. 1 have to focus on driving now.”
Jiang An secretly rolled her eyes and muttered softly, “So mysterious?”
Zou Yi had already booked a six-seater private room in the restaurant in advance and was waiting at the entrance with Zou Er.
The two of them shouted in unison, “Boss, Miss Jiang.”
Zou Bai threw the car keys to Zou Yi. “You guys go eat something first.”
Zou Yi took it and sat down with Zou Er at the table closest to the private room in the hall.
Coconut chicken was a specialty of Nanhai City. The restaurant that Zou Bai brought them to eat at was decorated in the same style and various elements as the local area.
Jiang An placed Jiang Yi in the baby chair. Jiang An and Zou Bai sat on both sides, not far from each other.
Zou Bai ordered the dishes according to the preferences he had just found out from Jiang An in the afternoon. Jiang An carefully sized up the private room and asked curiously, “This restaurant and the one we went to for a meal last time are both decorated in a style local to the cuisine. Don’t tell me you own this too?”
Zou Bai smiled and said, “You’re quick to connect the dots.”
Jiang An didn’t expect her guess to be right. She smiled smugly and quickly asked a new question, “Your corporation has so many industries. I’m afraid you’re involved in countless catering businesses. How can you remember these shops so clearly?”
Zou Bai poured a glass of freshly brewed fruit juice for Jiang An. “There are some businesses under our corporation that have dark patterns on the plaque. Our people can distinguish them through these.”
Jiang An’s eyes darted around a few times as she repeated, “Your people?”
Zou Bai took a sip of juice and glanced at Jiang An. “You’re quite good at catching the main point.”
Jiang An chuckled.
The Zou Family was an aristocratic family that had businesses that were passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. Be it the personnel who collected intelligence or the secret guards who dealt with various private matters, they were all chosen to enter the Zou Family from a young age and nurtured. Their loyalty and professional ability were top-notch.
The shops that had special dark patterns could also be said to be a contact point for these people who belonged to the Zou family’s system. It was also one of the venues for the Zou family to gather and provide information.
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
Zou Bai said, “Enter.”
The door was pushed open. A woman in a formal suit entered. She looked to be in her forties. She had ordinary looks but a good figure. When she walked in, her every frown and smile was especially charming. She was the kind of enchanting woman that men would think of at midnight.
Jiang An thought for a few seconds before she thought of an appropriate word to describe her.
Flirtatious!
Yu Hong’s face was full of smiles as she personally served the dishes. “Mr. Zou, Miss Jiang, welcome.”
Jiang An did not expect the other party to know her. She was secretly shocked.
Zou Bai noticed that it was Yu Hong who came in. After the dishes were served, he gave Yu Hong a look.
Yu Hong tactfully let the other two waiters leave first and personally closed the door of the private room.
Zou Bai waited for her to return before asking, “When did you get to this shop?”
The smile on Yu Hong’s face disappeared. She stood upright in the middle of the private room and replied seriously, “Old Master just transferred me over yesterday.”
When Zou Bai heard that it was his grandfather’s idea, he frowned slightly and asked, “Then what are you responsible for now?”
When Yu Hong heard this, she subconsciously glanced at Jiang An.
When Zou Bai noticed this, he said indifferently, “Just answer directly.”
Yu Hong quickly retracted her gaze and looked at Zou Bai as she replied, “I’m now in charge of Intelligence Team 5.”
Yu Hong was strong in martial arts. It turned out that she was in charge of one of the secret guards’ small teams, mainly dealing with matters that the Zou family could not put on the table..
