After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 96

Chapter 96: Let’s Go to Eat
Afraid that his mood would be bad, Zhouzhou had been sticking to him these past few days, following him like a little tail. Wherever he went, she would follow, even when he went to work.

“CEO Qin, this is the invitation for tonight’s banquet. The new vice CEO from the Ye Corporation will also be there.”

Just as he arrived at the company, his assistant came over and said.

Invitation? Zhouzhou’s ears perked up immediately, and she curiously looked at the thing in his hand.

Qin Lie wasn’t particularly interested, but seeing her expression, he scratched her chin. “Do you want to go?”

Zhouzhou swallowed her saliva and asked with sparkling eyes, “Is there good food?”

“Yes.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up even more, blinking at him with a face that said, “I want to go! I want to eat!”

Seeing her like this, Qin Lie couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “Alright, let’s go.”

While we’re at it, we can discuss the new project.

“What’s the background of this new CEO from the Ye Corporation?” Qin Lie asked.

Originally, they had a collaboration with Ye Corporation, but the person in charge was someone else. The sudden change made Qin Lie somewhat displeased.

The assistant had obviously already investigated and said, “His name is Ye Lingfeng.”

“Ye Lingfeng?” Qin Lie looked surprised.

“Yes.” The assistant’s expression was somewhat awkward as well. This Ye Lingfeng had quite a reputation in Jing City. A few years ago, he got into trouble and was sent to prison. It was said that his wife was pregnant at the time, but she gave birth prematurely due to the shock and ended up with excessive bleeding, resulting in both mother and child losing their lives. This incident alone showed how despicable the man was.

For Ye Corporation to let him take over this project, it showed that they didn’t have much sincerity.

Qin Lie frowned. “CEO Qin, should we consider rejecting this project?”

“No need.” Qin Lie carried Zhouzhou and walked towards the office. “I’ll meet with him first.”

“Alright.”

“Oh, by the way, tell the banquet staff to prepare more vegetarian dishes.” Qin Lie glanced at the little girl in his arms and added.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s mouth curved up, and she curiously asked, “Dad, who is Ye Lingfeng? Did you know him before?”

“Well, we used to be neighbors with the Ye family.”

“Oh, I see.”

Zhouzhou was somewhat surprised and wanted to ask more, but Qin Lie clearly didn’t want to dwell on it. He opened the menu sent from the banquet hall and asked, “What do you want to eat? I’ll have them make it for you.”

Zhouzhou’s attention was instantly diverted, and she pointed with her chubby little hand, “This one, this one, and this one. Dad, can they make more of these?”

“Sure, they’ll prepare enough.”

“Thank you, Dad!” Zhouzhou happily said, her dangling short legs also swaying with joy.

So easy to please.

Qin Lie took out the snacks he had prepared for her from the drawer and placed her on the sofa.

With her legs dangling, Zhouzhou happily enjoyed her potato chips and fruits, her eyes curved and her little feet stretching out.

Such happiness!

After a while, someone suddenly knocked on the office door. Qin Nan and Qin Bei poked their heads in from the outside, clinging to the door.

“Come in.” Qin Lie glanced at them and said.

He had a commanding presence, and the twins were a little afraid of him. They immediately walked in, closed the door obediently, and stood straight. Their peripheral vision noticed the little girl sitting on the sofa, and they were delighted. “Uncle, we’re here to play with Zhouzhou.”

“I don’t want to play with you.” Unexpectedly, Zhouzhou was the first to refuse.

“Why?” Qin Bei was a little puzzled. Didn’t she say before that she wanted to reconcile their dad with them? Why hadn’t she come to play with them for several days and now she didn’t want to play with them?

Zhouzhou pouted and said indignantly, “Third Elder Uncle bullied my dad, so I don’t want to play with you.”

Thinking of what happened before, she felt resentful.

“Zhouzhou,” Qin Lie called her, “The matter between Qin Yan and me doesn’t affect you playing with them.”

He didn’t want Zhouzhou to be influenced by him and estranged from her brothers.

“The adults’ matters can be solved by themselves.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou hesitated. She was still angry with Third Elder Uncle.

Seeing this, Qin Nan walked over and said, “Then let’s not mention Dads and just play.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Qin Bei ran over, “I don’t like your dad either, but we can still play together, right?”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou widened her eyes and asked, “Why don’t you like my dad?”

Qin Lie’s gaze also turned towards them.

Qin Bei stiffened and realized he had accidentally revealed it.

Zhouzhou became even more angry and lifted him up, then closed the door. “I don’t want to play with you!”

She didn’t want to play with someone who didn’t like her dad!

Outside the door, Qin Bei was still explaining and trying to push the door open, but it wouldn’t budge. In the end, he could only speak through the door, “Zhouzhou, I misspoke. I don’t dislike Third Elder Uncle. I’m just a little afraid of him because he’s too fierce.”

“Your dad is the fierce one!”

Seeing that he dared to talk nonsense, Zhouzhou forcefully opened the door, didn’t wait for him to say anything, and directly carried him outside, then threw him onto the ground. “Don’t say bad things about my dad!”

The little girl was like a protective cannon for her dad, fiercely defending him.

Seeing her like this, Qin Bei couldn’t help but gulp, wanting to say something more, but Qin Nan covered his mouth.

Qin Nan smiled apologetically at Zhouzhou and said, “Zhouzhou, we are leaving now. We’ll come to play with you tomorrow.”

What an idiot!

If they continued talking, Zhouzhou would kick him off the planet!

Watching them leave, Zhouzhou’s mood improved a little. She snorted heavily and turned her head, running towards the company.

She was in a hurry and didn’t notice a car parked by the roadside.

Inside the car, a handsome man glanced at her, raising an eyebrow. “When did the Qin family have a little girl?”

“I heard she’s adopted by the Fifth Master Qin.”

“Qin Lie?” The man rubbed his chin, looking surprised. “Interesting, I didn’t expect that ice block to actually raise a child.”

Seeing him smiling meaningfully, the man’s sidekick was curious. “Boss, do you know them?”

“Sort of,” the man leaned back in his chair, crossing his long legs and lightly tapping his fingertips. “Let’s go, we still have to attend the banquet tonight and meet old friends. We should dress up properly.”

“Yes,” the sidekick grinned, feeling a bit excited. He wondered what kind of surprise the boss had in store for tonight but wasn’t telling him. Sigh!

“I’m back.”

Seeing Zhouzhou running back, Qin Lie spoke.

“Yeah.” Zhouzhou ran up to him and hugged his leg. “Dad, don’t mind Sixth Elder Brother. Sixth Elder Brother is silly too!”

“Yeah,” Qin Lie certainly wouldn’t argue with his nephew. It was more amusing to see the little girl act like a protective mother hen. “Alright, don’t be angry. Your Sixth Elder Brother just doesn’t know how to speak, but he doesn’t have any ill intentions.”

Zhouzhou knew that, but she was still angry.

Her dad was so good! He should be adored by everyone!

Seeing her still indignant, Qin Lie smiled and changed the subject. “The food at the banquet is prepared by a five-star chef. Eat a little less now and we’ll have delicious food tonight.”

“It’s okay.” Zhouzhou patted her plump belly. “I can eat more no matter what!”

Remembering her appetite, she wasn’t exaggerating.

Qin Lie rubbed her head and let her play for a while.

It was already close to Zhouzhou’s mealtime in the afternoon, so Qin Lie closed his laptop. “Let’s go.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou immediately put the drawn talisman in her bag and held his hand, rushing out eagerly. “Let’s go!”

Seeing her eager expression, Qin Lie couldn’t help but smile again.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and there were already many luxury cars parked outside.

Qin Lie carried the little girl and walked in, instantly attracting the attention of many people.

Their expressions varied, but most of them were curious.

They didn’t expect Qin Lie to actually adopt a little girl who seemed to be quite spoiled. It was truly unusual.

Ignoring their gazes, Qin Lie carried Zhouzhou straight to the dining area and took a plate.

Zhouzhou looked at the variety of food excitedly and took out her own copper bowl, which was given to her by Senior Brother Jingkong when they left the mountain. It had a deep bottom, and she could eat four bowls of rice and still feel full.

“Dad, use this!”

The small plate was not enough to hold her food.

Qin Lie hadn’t expected her to bring this along. His eye twitched as he looked at her small bag, wondering how she managed to fit it inside.

He didn’t say anything, just took it from her and started scooping rice into it.

While he was scooping, a soft laugh suddenly came from beside them.

“Little Baldy, you sure can eat. You’re using such a big bowl for your meal. Why didn’t your dad bring you a bucket?”
