Translator: Fringe Alpaca
Chapter 141 - Failed Matchmaking (1)
Yan Shuyu, focused on what she was doing, did not notice a group of guests who had just finished their meal and were walking out of a private room . One of the men, when he saw their table from afar, his eyes bulged out so much that his eyeballs almost fell out of his sockets .
The man looked to be 2-3 years younger than Zhou Qinhe and was also the youngest in the group . He did, however, appeared to be the leader among the group .
The group of them were laughing and smiling, but one by one, they stopped in their paths as they noticed his odd look .
“Boss Qin, what’s the matter?”
Boss Qin didn’t say anything, so everybody looked in the direction that he was looking at . Some of them looked at a loss and some others were shocked .
“Isn’t that Boss Zhou? One of them must be the little prince of the Zhou’s?”
The group of business elites started gossiping . “I thought Boss Zhou only has one son . Why are there two kids over there . ”
“The woman sitting across from him doesn’t look very familiar . Is she a socialite from one of the prestigious families?”
Qin Sirui, the young master of the Qin’s, hearing the gossiping behind his back finally recollected himself . He waved at the people behind him and said, “You guys go first . I am going to say hi to Boss Zhou . ”
Everyone behind him were upper management of the Qin’s, and they were all aware that the Qin’s and the Zhou’s have always had a good relationship with each other . Now that they have run into Boss Zhou, it’d only be polite to say hi . But, looking at Boss Zhou spending time with his “family”, there was no reason for the rest of them to walk up to him also .
The group agreed and left Boss Qin behind at the restaurant .
Qin Sirui walked over to Yan Shuyu’s table and greeted Zhou Qinhe in a familiar voice, “Brother He, I’ve heard that you won’t be attending the art show today . I see you are here for seafood instead . ”
He was referring to his cousin’s art show . Xie Yuxuan, his cousin, returned from overseas six months ago and ran into Boss Zhou once at a banquet . It was love at first sight for her . His aunt knew that he was friends with Boss Zhou, so she had asked him to help with setting them up . Qin Sirui would be happy to see the two work out . His company has some business projects with the Zhou’s recently, so if his cousin could become a couple with Boss Zhou, it would naturally be a win-win for him .
Plus, his cousin wasn’t half bad .
Xie Yuxuan was a somewhat famous and beautiful artist . Her career notwithstanding, she was pretty and kind and never even had a boyfriend while she was studying abroad . Compared to the other socialites where one was more wanton than the next, she was relatively pure .
As a man, Qin Sirui has already had a string of girlfriends, but when it came to marriage, he’d definitely look for someone who’s docile and dramfree like his cousin . He had sort of grown up with Zhou Qinhe . Boss Zhou had become more and more unpredictable as of late, but Qin Sirui had a rough idea of where his standards were and his cousin should be able to make the cut .
His cousin might not have come from the most prestigious rank of families, but his uncle's side of the family had been scholars for generations and he was a college professor . His aunt had some of the Qin Corporation’s shares and also held an important role at the Qin’s, but she was, after all, married . Thus, she wasn’t really considered as part of the Qin’s anymore as far as others were concerned .
Since Boss Zhou already has an heir, marrying a woman from a prestigious family would make things more awkward . Qin Sirui felt that his cousin was perfect for Boss Zhou . She’d complement him greatly during social events, but she also would not become an issue later on . Boss Zhou would have no reason to turn her down .
Which was why Qin Sirui had accepted his aunt’s request .
