Pei Linqi's voice attracted the attention of the two of them, and Xu Zhi turned his head to look at the man standing beside him in surprise.

"Auntie?"

Zhao Xiuling looked in Pei Linqi's direction when she heard the sound, and her eyes were also filled with surprise for a while, "Listen to this tone, you also know each other?"

Pei Linqi really didn't expect that by such a coincidence, his aunt knew Xu Zhi, he smiled and nodded.

"Miss Xu and I also met through business."

"Yes, Mr. Pei is a client of my studio, and he came here today because of work. I didn't expect to meet Aunt Zhao here by chance."

Zhao Xiuling immediately smiled and shook Xu Zhi's hand.

"It's all fate. For such a small branch, it's almost lunch time anyway. Why don't you stay for a while, and let's have a meal at the restaurant next door before going back."

"Okay, I was just thinking about asking Aunt Zhao to have a light meal. If Auntie is willing to show her face, then I am naturally willing."

Xu Zhi was planning to invite Aunt Zhao to dinner just now, and then find an opportunity to talk about the company, and was worried that he would not have the opportunity, but Aunt Zhao brought it up first.

Seeing that Xu Zhi seemed to have something to say, Pei Linqi immediately offered to help them arrange it.

"Then I'll ask someone to open a box for you in the restaurant next door. After a while, auntie, you can just go there. If you don't mind, I'll finish here and join in the fun. It's no problem to ask for a hot meal."

"No problem at all."

"of course."

As the saying goes, don't hit smiling faces, and with the relationship between Pei Linqi and Zhao Xiuling here, it's naturally hard for Xu Zhi to say no.

Zhao Xiuling seemed to like Xu Zhi very much, holding her hand tightly and unwilling to let go.

He led her directly into the teahouse, and opened a small private room to sit alone.

Xu Zhi asked Xiao Zhou to take a taxi to go back first, and he wanted to talk to Aunt Zhao here, and talk about some serious business by the way, Xiao Zhou nodded to express his understanding, then called the car and went back first.

In the elegant room of the teahouse,
When she learned that the incense in the teahouse today was made by Xu Zhi, Zhao Xiuling's eyes immediately flashed approval.

"Who would have thought that after so many years, you can still smell the incense made by Xu Bo here? It's really nostalgic."

Xu Zhi has not been formally trained in perfumery, but the notes and books of her grandfather left in her study, coupled with her talent, have made her attainments in this area many times higher than others up.

Zhao Xiuling smelled the faint fragrance in the room, and she just felt refreshed and happy.

Unconsciously, the picture of father still sitting with Uncle Xu's family drinking tea and laughing appeared in his mind.

It's just a pity that such a picture will never be seen again in this life.

Seeing the slight sadness on Zhao Xiuling's face, Xu Zhi probably thought of what she was thinking at the moment, then reached out and shook her hand gently.

"Aunt Zhao, if you like the smell of this incense, I'll go back later and ask the people in the studio to pack a copy and mail it to your home."

"Okay, tell me how much it is, and Auntie will transfer it to you directly."

Zhao Xiuling is a straightforward person.

At that moment, she took out her mobile phone and came over to open the QR code, but Xu Zhi stopped her just as she made a move.

"It's not worth a lot of money for such a small thing, just treat it as a gift from me, a junior. How can I ask for your money? If you talk about money with me, then I dare not give it away. I'm afraid you will misunderstand later. I do business on your head."

Xu Zhi's sweet mouth made the elders happy.

Zhao Xiuling smiled, and in the end she had no choice but to put the phone away, and stopped talking about giving money or not.

"Auntie, I actually want to ask you a little favor. I should have talked to you early in the morning, but I haven't been able to find a chance. It's rare to take advantage of such a chance today. After thinking about it, I still want to talk to you." You said it."

When Xu Zhi said this, he had to do some mental construction with great difficulty.

Seeing her embarrassed face, Zhao Xiuling couldn't help being curious, and then the hand holding Xu Zhi seemed to tighten a little more.

"What's the matter, this is, you tell auntie."

Xu Zhi pursed her lips, although it was a bit difficult to say, but she still expressed her thoughts about her sister's operation.

Listening to Xu Zhi's words, Zhao Xiuling frowned the whole time, looking very serious.

Xu Zhi stared at her face, the more he talked about it, the more uncertain he became.

After all, she and Zhao Xiuling didn't have much relationship, don't look at Zhao Xiuling pulling her as if she was very warm.

But in fact, the relationship between the two of them can only be regarded as the relationship between the elder and the younger who knows each other. If Zhao Xiuling doesn't agree with her words after listening to her, and she is not willing to help, then she can't force it.

After the words fell, Xu Zhi still looked at the other party nervously.

"Aunt Zhao, I know that I am a soft-spoken person, and I can't say much in the company, so I hope you can help me give me this chance."

What Xu Zhi said was serious and sincere.

Zhao Xiuling was silent for a while, and her raised brows also showed her wavering heart at this moment.

Even the hand she held Xu Zhi at the beginning seemed to gradually loosen its strength, and changed to just resting on the back of her hand vaguely.

"Xiaozhi, it's not that Auntie doesn't want to help. It's just that running a company and a studio are fundamentally different. How many people do you have in your studio? There are more than a dozen or twenty people, but for a company, that's a lot. Hundreds of people."

While Zhao Xiuling was talking, she silently took back the hand that was originally on the back of her hand.

"A company, personnel scheduling, factory operation, shopping mall operation, etc., if you don't have outstanding ability and better ability to withstand pressure, don't try it lightly."

"I know that it is really not easy for you to run a studio well, and it is very powerful, but that doesn't mean you will be able to run a company well, do you understand?"

Zhao Xiuling spoke euphemistically, showing embarrassment.

But Xu Zhi also understood the meaning behind what she said.

It's nothing more than that I still don't trust her ability, and feel that she still doesn't have the ability to run a large company well.

Xu Zhi pursed his lips heavily, put away the hand that was originally on the table, and put it back on his lap.

At the same time, the fingers were glued to each other due to tension, and the expression in his eyes slightly fluttered.

"Yes, I know that I am not capable enough, but I am willing to learn, as long as the shareholders are willing to give me this opportunity, Aunt Zhao, you also know that Qichen today is no longer as good as Xu's back then, and the dividends your shareholders get now are not as good as they were back then. You You might as well trust me this time, give me this chance, maybe I can create greater benefits for you."
