Zhou Jia had even noticed a tiny habit Yuan Zhou had. Whenever someone praised him, he would pretend not to care yet his fingers would uncontrollably flutter about a few times.

In Zhou Jia’s opinion, this was a habit unique to Boss Yuan.

“My cousin told me Boss Yuan is the most ferocious of all, akin to the big boss of ferocity. Nobody can break his rules. Rule breakers won’t be fed,” Hu Ti said something that was completely contrary to what Zhou Jia said.

“Now I’m even more curious who your cousin is,” Zhou Jia did not push on with her questions. She could already see Hu Ti trembling with fear.

She wondered what that cousin had told him, instilling such conviction and fear in him.

“Why would I lie to you? Boss Yuan is really very nice,” Zhou Jia said. “Moreover, do you think I would survive working half a year there if he was really that bad?”

“Boss Yuan is the person who has treated me the best ever since I came to study in Chengdu. He is practically my elder,” said Zhou Jia seriously.

That was rather convincing. Thus, Hu Ti was temporarily convinced.

Of course, Hu Ti was still curious why was he meeting the boss of his girlfriend. But since he really liked Zhou Jia, he trusted her and did not ask much.

“Sorry Jia Jia, but you don’t know what my cousin told me. I promised him to never betray him,” Hu Ti said seriously.

“Um. But rumors are baseless. You have to see it for yourself. You will know the truth when you meet Boss Yuan,” said Zhou Jia with a nod.

“Ok. I will behave myself properly,” said Hu Ti. He took a deep breath and adjusted his mood. They were about to enter the restaurant.

They entered one after another and the sight of Yuan Zhou immediately awed Hu Ti. He wore a crew neck robe, emanating an imposing and aggressive feeling. Coupled with the solemn expression Yuan Zhou had, Hu Ti could not match Yuan Zhou with the image of gentleness described by Zhou Jia.

“You’re here,” Yuan Zhou placed the book down and said calmly.

Yuan Zhou believed as an elder, he had to appear strict and imposing. Fortunately, it had been quite a while since he had attained fame. Thus, he was able to adequately project that feeling.

“Boss Yuan, this is my boyfriend, Hu Ti. The Hu character is a combination of Gu and Yue, while the Ti character is the Ti in Ti Mu,” Zhou Jia introduced. She then turned and said to her boyfriend, “This is Boss Yuan.” [1. Ti Mu = topic/question depending on context]

After the introduction, Hu Ti calmed himself and spoke. Thus, the two began their one-liner exchange segment.

“Hello, Boss Yuan.”

“Hello.”

“It must have been tiring for you working so hard.”

“As a student, it must have been tiring for you as well.”

“Studying is not tiring.”

“Cooking is not tiring as well.”

One was inwardly fearful as this was his first time meeting his girlfriend’s elder while the other was anxious and kept reminding himself to appear imposing like an elder should be.

And thus, their conversation was extremely awkward, to the point Zhou Jia felt awkward watching them.

Eventually, Zhou Jia joined in on the conversation, easing up the atmosphere.

After a chat, Yuan Zhou obtained a certain level of understanding of this young man called Hu Ti.

Hu Ti came from a decent family. He was an only child, while his parents were rather decent financially. Although they were not super wealthy by any means, they still had a sizable amount of wealth.

From the short conversation, Hu Ti seemed like a rather careless person. He would do things based on his emotions and would rarely sit down and think before acting.
