Chapter 62 In Modern Times, He's a Tycoon CEO
Qiu Ziyue chose Truth or Dare, and blushed slightly when asked which of them she liked.
She hesitated for a moment, then answered seriously, "Each of you is very special, and I like you all very much, but if I had to choose one, I think you each have your own strengths, so it's hard to choose."
"What? That's like saying nothing at all," several men muttered.
Then everyone laughed again, and the atmosphere became even more relaxed and pleasant.
People are getting tired of Truth or Dare and want to play something else.
Suddenly, Lu Yuanchangming suggested, "How about we have a competition? We can't use our lightness skills. Let's see who can climb the highest in the tree."
"No, no, Junior Sister is still injured," the three senior brothers said.
“Great! Climbing trees is my forte!” Qiu Ziyue’s eyes lit up as she said excitedly.
So, Qiu Ziyuetang rolled up her arms and pulled up her trouser legs, and the group started a tree-climbing competition.
Seeing that Qiu Ziyue was in high spirits, the others didn't want to spoil her fun, so they all rolled up their sleeves and started climbing the tree.
Liu Xu said, "Sister Ziyue, you're still injured, so why don't you stop climbing? I won't climb either."
"Liu Xu, then stop climbing and watch me," Qiu Ziyue said, already rolling up her sleeves and putting her hands on her hips, looking like she was looking for a fight.
Although Qiu Ziyue was injured, she was agile and quickly climbed to the top of the tree.
Qiu Ziyue is a very lively and cheerful person in modern times. Her school has organized mountain climbing and field trips, and she always participates actively. So she didn't think too much about it and just kept climbing trees.
Lu Yuan ignored Changming, leaped up into the tree, and sat on a branch.
"Young Master Lu, you're cheating! You said you'd climb the tree, but you flew up here!" Qiu Ziyue said angrily.
Seeing this, Lu Yuanchangming said, "You say I'm cheating? Didn't you, Miss Qiu, cheat by playing some kind of mystical magic, making us grown men play Truth or Dare? Sigh, I also want to be fair."
"You big man bullying a little woman, aren't you ashamed?" Qiu Ziyue said angrily.
Lu Yuanchangming chuckled to himself.
Then, the three senior brothers also climbed up the big tree, as if they had returned to their carefree childhood.
As dusk approached, the five people sat down under a tree and chatted about their childhood memories, filling the garden with laughter and joy.
As the afternoon sun gradually slanted westward, Qiu Ziyue felt a warmth in her heart. The interesting events of the day made her temporarily forget all her troubles, leaving only happy and warm memories.
As noon approached, everyone got hungry, and then they all leaped down using their light-footed skills.
The group sat around a round table. Lu Yuanchangming instructed his maid, Lin Ruoxi, to go to Zuixiaolou in Yangzhou City, order some delicious dishes, and have them brought up.
"Oh my, Brother Lu, you're ordering takeout? How interesting," Qiu Ziyue said.
"What does 'ordering takeout' mean?" Lu Yuanchangming asked, then added, "Miss Qiu really has a lot of new terms."
Qiu Ziyue smiled and said, "Of course."
After a short while, a dozen or so waiters from Zuixiaolou brought over the lunch.
Lu Yuanchangming called Qiu Ziyue and the three senior brothers to sit down and prepare for dinner.
Qiu Ziyue suggested bringing Liu Xu and Lin Ruoxi along to eat, and then the group of people started eating in a lively atmosphere.
The group sat around the dining table, which was laden with all sorts of dishes and tableware.
Qiu Langyu patted Lu Yuanchangming on the shoulder and smiled, "You are such a thoughtful person."
"Not at all, since you're here, you're my most honored guests, and I will certainly treat you with the utmost courtesy," Lu Yuanchangming said with a smile.
Lu Yuanchangming instructed the waiter to open the lids of the exquisite and elegant tableware, revealing the delicacies inside: Yangzhou fried rice, braised lion's head meatballs, braised shredded tofu, salted duck... Each dish was tempting in color and had an enticing aroma.
"Wow, this is such a feast!" Qiu Ziyue exclaimed. "Brother Lu, you're amazing!"
"You're welcome, come on, let's all start eating!" Lu Yuan called out.
Qiu Ziyue picked up a piece of braised lion's head meatball, savored it carefully, and praised it highly: "This lion's head meatball is really well made. The meat is tender and the soup is rich. You really know how to pick a place!"
Lu Yuanchangming smiled and nodded, then picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the lion's head meatball: "The chef's skills are indeed first-class."
Liu Xu and Lin Ruoxi also praised Lu Yuan Changming for his thoughtfulness and attentiveness.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and everyone chatted and laughed, enjoying this rare time together.
Qiu Ziyue took a few bites, put down her chopsticks, and looked at Lu Yuanchangming seriously: "Young Master Lu, do you know? You are simply a tycoon CEO. You are handsome, own a villa, and are very generous. You are amazing."
Lu Yuanchangming was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Miss Qiu, what do you mean by 'tycoon CEO' and 'villa'? Where did you get these new terms from? Are you praising me or teasing me?"
"Of course it's a compliment!" Qiu Ziyue winked mischievously. "These new terms I've come from a faraway country. In their country, a handsome, rich person who manages a large company is called a CEO."
Everyone was confused, but they all understood that it meant Lu Yuanchangming was rich and handsome, so they all gave him a polite thumbs up, making the atmosphere even more lively.
Lu Yuanchangming smiled and said, "Miss Qiu, may I ask you something? Would you be interested in becoming the mistress of my Lu Ming Tower, or, as you put it, the wife of a wealthy CEO?"
"What? Brother Lu, you're joking," Qiu Ziyue said.
Lu Yuan Changming didn't say anything more, just smiled slightly and continued to enjoy the wonderful lunch time with everyone.
As night fell, Lu Yuanchangming surprisingly hired a chef from Zuixiaolou to cook at Luminglou. The dinner was even more lavish than lunch, a veritable deluxe meal that was not only delicious but also enjoyable, earning high praise from everyone.
After lunch, Qiu Ziyue and her three senior brothers gathered together, enjoying tea and chatting about the lunch.
"What did you think of the meal that Lu Yuanchangming treated us to today?"
Qiu Ziyue spoke first, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Senior Brother Qiu Langyu smiled and said, "The food is indeed very delicious, especially the braised lion's head meatballs, they were absolutely amazing!"
Qiu Wentian nodded in agreement: "Yes, Brother Lu really put in a lot of effort this time. But don't you guys think he's a bit more than you think?"
Third Senior Brother Qiu Wenfeng nodded in agreement: "Yes, I feel the same way. His family's Lu Ming Tower looks very luxurious, and he is very generous, unlike ordinary people."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue's eyes deepened: "You're right. Actually, I'm also quite curious about Lu Yuanchangming. Lu Minglou is indeed incredibly luxurious, and he's very generous, but he only has one maid, Lin Ruoxi."
The three senior brothers also seemed to be deep in thought.
"Only one maid?" Qiu Langyu frowned. "That is indeed a bit strange. Given his family's circumstances, how could they possibly only have one maid?"
"Qiu Ziyue continued, "Not only that, I also discovered something even stranger. From what I've observed, it seems there's a hidden team in his house. These people are extremely skilled in martial arts; I often hear rustling sounds from the tree branches at night, clearly someone is protecting him in secret."
"How could that be?" the three senior brothers said.
Qiu Ziyue nodded: "Yes, when I go for a walk at night, I can sense the presence of experts around me. Those people are very discreet, but I can still detect their presence."
Qiu Langyu pondered for a moment and said, "So, Lu Yuanchangming's identity is indeed not simple. Not only is he from a wealthy family, but he may also have even greater power behind him."
Qiu Ziyue sighed softly, "Yes, that's what I think too. However, we can only speculate about these things right now. After all, we haven't spent much time with him, and there are still many things we don't understand."
Qiu Wentian nodded: "Junior sister, your observation skills are indeed very strong. We should pay more attention in the future and see if we can find more clues about him."
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly: "Yes, I will continue to observe. In any case, Lu Yuanchangming doesn't seem to have any intention of harming us, but we still need to be careful."
The three senior brothers nodded in agreement.
