Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

After midnight, the lively atmosphere dissipated, and although there were still many young people on the streets, they were evidently worn out.

Tao Tian drove Zhou Yuwen and Zhu Hong to find a place to eat.

Passing by several subway entrances, Zhou Yuwen noticed that many young people, both men and women, were squatting beside them, laughing and chatting about something.

Clearly, these were people who had come to the city center to celebrate the new year, then found they were too far from home to return after the subway stopped running, so they ended up wandering the streets like this. These youngsters were not short of money, but taking a cab home for two or three hundred yuan was too extravagant for them, and the prices for hotels were prohibitive on this day, with rooms that usually went for a bit over a hundred yuan soaring to more than five hundred. Moreover, even with over five hundred yuan, it wasn't certain that one could book a hotel.

The same scene plays out every year on New Year's Eve.

Tao Tian led Zhou Yuwen and the others to a small ramen shop with a modest storefront.

By this time it was desolate, but the sign above was still lit up.

Zhu Hong looked at the open ramen shop with interest and laughed, "I can't believe you could find such a special store so late at night. It seems you two haven't come here in vain usually."

Zhou Yuwen said, "Well, I wouldn't know about that, she never brought me here."

With a slight blush on her face, Tao Tian couldn't help but pull Zhou Yuwen's hand, coquettishly like a girlfriend, and said softly, "It's not that I didn't bring you here, it's that you didn't give me the chance."

"Oh, CEO Zhou, did you hear that? Your girlfriend has a complaint," said Zhu Hong, smiling.

Zhou Yuwen didn't feel there was anything to it.

A few days ago, it had snowed, leaving the air somewhat cold.

Tao Tian was still wearing that green dress, but now she had added a black down jacket over it.

Zhu Hong, however, was still dressed the same as before.

And so, Tao Tian, holding Zhou Yuwen's hand, followed by Zhu Hong, entered the ramen shop.

Actually, the ramen shop was getting ready to close at that time.

But seeing that customers had come, the owner thought it was no bother and went ahead and prepared three bowls of ramen.

Zhu Hong had drunk a bellyful of alcohol today, and at this moment, eating something hot was very comforting.

Zhou Yuwen was just curious why, with so much delicious food earlier, Tao Tian hadn't eaten her fill.

Tao Tian said she had been standing the whole time earlier and hadn't had time to eat.

"This ramen is really good; you should try some."

Zhu Hong noticed from the way Tao Tian and Zhou Yuwen spoke to each other, and the way she looked at Zhou Yuwen, that the girl really liked him.

But Zhou Yuwen didn't seem to have deep feelings for the girl.

I guess it makes sense, as with some capable men Zhu Hong had met,

they had one thing in common: they wouldn't devote much of their energy to women.

It's just that those men were all in their forties or fifties,

while Zhou Yuwen in front of her was only eighteen years old.

The heating was on in the ramen shop, and Tao Tian took off her down jacket upon entering, but her long, shoulder-length hair was still getting in the way of eating her ramen.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuwen asked if she didn't bring a hair tie.

Tao Tian shook her head, saying she hadn't anticipated coming to eat ramen, so naturally, she didn't bring a hair tie.

Zhou Yuwen thought for a moment, took a chopstick, and reached out to gather Tao Tian's hair.

Tao Tian was very obedient to Zhou Yuwen. Although she didn't know what he was going to do, she let him gather her hair docilely.

She might not have been able to see what Zhou Yuwen was doing from her angle.

But Zhu Hong had a clear view.

Surprisingly, Zhou Yuwen, young as he was, possessed such a skill. His hands transformed a chopstick into a hairpin and quickly bunched up Tao Tian's long hair.

Tao Tian, with two green leaves on her chest covering crucial spots, actually suited her hair up, which accentuated her strengths and showcased her slender neck.

After her hair was done, Tao Tian took out her phone and looked at her new style with the front camera, pleasantly surprised.

Zhu Hong saw this and chuckled, "I didn't expect CEO Zhou to have this skill."

"Practiced on her, probably," Zhou Yuwen said.

Hearing this, Tao Tian felt a bit sweet inside.

Seizing the moment while Zhou Yuwen and Zhu Hong were talking, she felt bold and tilted her head,

then pecked Zhou Yuwen on the face.

"?" Zhou Yuwen was really taken aback by this.

But he saw Tao Tian's face showing a shy expression, as she bowed her head and quietly ate her ramen.

Zhu Hong, seeing this scene, naturally had to sigh that youth is wonderful.

Zhou Yuwen did not pay it much mind, and the three of them just ate their ramen in silence.

Earlier at Gao Peter's company's year-end party, there were too many people and some things were not convenient to say.

Now in the deep of the night, with only the three of them in the ramen shop,

Zhu Hong asked as if offhandedly while eating her ramen, "CEO Zhou, I heard that your delivery company has now captured ninety percent of Xianlin's market, I wonder if you have any other plans."

"Other plans? What kind of plans is Sister Zhu referring to?"

"About the future development of the delivery company."

Finally, they got to the real business.

Actually, Tao Tian quite suits that type of canary that is kept by one's side to accompany him at social events. Firstly, she indeed has good looks; secondly, she knows how to read the room.

A while ago, she was laughing and joking with Zhou Yuwen while eating ramen.

But when Zhu Hong brought up serious matters, Tao Tian stopped making any noise and quietly, dutifully ate her noodles.
