When Zhou Xuan said this, although her expression was very calm and her tone was understatement, Su Shi could feel that she was serious.
Because of this, Su Shi looked at Zhou Xuan blankly, as if looking at a madman, and was speechless for a long time.
He used a boat worth 350,000 taels of silver—and it was a boat that could lay golden eggs—in exchange for an ice-making technique that would never be used.
Whoever did this acted like a madman.
"Are you rich?" Su Shi asked.
Apart from this reason, Su Shi couldn't think of any other reason even if he tried hard.
But he still couldn't understand, because Su Shi used to be rich, but he would never behave like this inexplicably.
"If you think this boat is not enough, we can still talk." Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly.
"Why?"
But Zhou Xuan didn't seem to want to explain to him. He just looked at him quietly and said, "You should know that I am sincere in discussing this business with you."
Su Shi had to admit that Zhou Xuan was indeed sincere, and this sincerity simply surprised him.
"And I have my own reasons for doing this." At this time, there was a lonely look on her face, and she forced a smile and said, "It's just that this reason is not common to outsiders."
"What if I insist on knowing?" Su Shi asked curiously.
Zhou Xuan was silent for a while and then said slowly: "Even if I say it, you won't understand."
When Zhou Xuan was silent, her eyes showed a trace of exhaustion, and her expression became a little confused, as if there was some kind of heavy burden on her, preventing her from relaxing at all.
Su Shi did not ask her the reason for doing this again, because Zhou Xuan's words made him feel infinite emotions. Didn't he himself have many things that he could not explain to outsiders?
After a long time, Su Cai slowly said: "Can you give me a few days to think about it?"
Without waiting for Zhou Xuan to speak, Su Shi continued: "I still say the same thing. I have no interest in talking to anyone else before I finish talking to Miss Zhou, so you don't need to worry."
"I wonder how long Mr. Su needs to think about it?"
Su Shi smiled and said, "It seems that Dongyuan Zhiku and I still have a bet. After the bet is over, I will naturally give Miss Zhou an answer."
Although Zhou Xuan left a good impression on Su Shi, Su Shi had to hold back because he knew that character was really worthless in the face of huge interests.
Hearing Su Shi's answer, Zhou Xuan seemed to be relieved. She smiled sweetly. At this time, the setting sun shone on her face through the window lattice, and the smile was as bright as a flower in bloom. Su Shi couldn't help but stare at it.
After Su Shi left the study, he walked down the stairs.
When Su Shi appeared at the top of the stairs, the burly man standing guard by the stairs kept looking at Su Shi in dumbfounded eyes.
Because except for a few three or four people, no man has ever been able to climb onto the third floor of the boat, not even him.
And it was obvious that Su Shi was not among these people.
As for how Su Shi got on the boat, he didn't know, but he had already thought about how Su Shi should get off the boat.
The sturdy man clenched his fists, waiting for Su Shi to come down, grabbing him like a chicken, and then threw Su Shi into the Mirror Lake from the second-story window.
When Su Shi still had two steps to go down to the second floor, and the burly man was about to take action, Zhou Xuan's graceful figure appeared at the top of the stairs and suddenly called out: "Master Su."
Su Shi turned around blankly and looked at her in confusion.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I just heard that Mr. Qin Yue from the Qin Mansion was looking for Mr. Su everywhere on the ship, which delayed Mr. Su's time. Please forgive me."
Su Shi was slightly startled: "Qin Yue is looking for me?"
Zhou Xuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Although Mr. Qin is looking for you, there should be someone else who wants to see you."
Su Shi suddenly realized it and immediately replied with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Zhou, for informing me."
After saying that, his expression became relaxed, and even his steps downstairs became much lighter.
When Su Shi passed by the burly man, he looked blankly into the distance. As for the idea of dumping Su Shi to Jinghu Lake like a chicken, he had already thrown it out the window the moment Zhou Xuan appeared.
He was neither a fool nor a blind man. From these few words, he already knew that the relationship between his master and this young man was not simple.
But he just wished he were deaf and blind now, because there were a lot of things he wasn't supposed to see or hear.
Can't even think about it.
So when Su Shi passed by him, he was as motionless as a piece of wood, and even stopped breathing.
However, Su Shi didn't seem to notice him and walked past him quickly. When Su Shi disappeared into the stairwell, he let out a long breath.
Cruise ships are still roaming on Mirror Lake. The boat drove very slowly and smoothly. If we hadn't watched the green mountains approaching, we wouldn't have felt the boat moving at all.
Su Shi looked at the green mountains and green trees wandering around, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart. After all, he almost became the owner of this boat just a moment ago.
But at this time, he didn't have much time to express his feelings, because since Qin Yue was anxious to find him, Qin Nan obviously had something to say to him.
As for what Qin Nan wanted to say to him, Su Shi couldn't predict it at the moment, so he felt uneasy.
When Su Shi reminded Qin Yue, his engagement with Qin Nan was no longer under his control.
Although this feeling of losing control made Su Shi very uncomfortable, he would still do it. He didn't want the engagement to tie Qin Nan to him like a rope.
Of course, no matter what Qin Nan chooses, he will accept it.
The most important thing now is to find Qin Yue. Su Shi came to the first deck and saw people standing on both sides of the ship. They were admiring the scenery of Jinghu Lake in high spirits, and they were full of guidance and inspiring words.
Moreover, everyone was dressed similarly, making it difficult for Su Shi to recognize them for a while.
Su Shi had no choice but to go around the boat, but after completing the circle, he didn't even see Qin Yue's shadow.
He thought for a while, suddenly patted his head, cursed himself for being stupid, and then turned around and walked towards the cabin.
Since Qin Yue was eager to find him but couldn't find him until now, how could he be in the mood to look at the scenery? He was currently staying with Qin Nan in the cabin.
However, after entering the cabin, Su Shi looked at the large and small rooms inside and felt a headache. Since Qin Nan can participate in the poetry meeting, there must be other talented women in the poetry meeting. However, there is not a single woman on the deck, so naturally they are in this cabin.
If Su Shi knocked on the door one after another and asked, it would be strange not to be treated as a protégé by those talented women.
When Su Shi was at a loss and kept touching his nose, the cruise ship suddenly stopped. After a burst of noise, a loud voice came from the deck.
"All talented people, please take your seats. The Jinghu Poetry Club is about to begin."
