What is even more surprising is that Chu Linchen actually refused.

"Prince Hongxu distinguishes right from wrong and has great righteousness in his heart. Naturally, he can take on the heavy responsibility of a country. But I'm just an ordinary businessman with limited ability, so I really don't have the qualifications to discipline the prince."

Gong Shouze was not annoyed when he heard his words, he still smiled and said: "Lin Chen, you are too modest."

Gong Hongxu took the initiative to stuff the seal into Chu Linchen's hands.

"My father appreciates your talent, so just take it. I do have a lot to learn from you, but don't worry, I won't bother you with everything."

There was a glint in Chu Lin's deep eyes.

Gong Shouze has no problem admiring him, but Gong Hongxu didn't have much respect for him before.

The father and son of the Gong family gave him the position of Chief Assistant so enthusiastically, but in fact their purpose was to win over Mrs. Chu.

Now in the capital, the Yan family and the Zhang family have fallen one after another, and the status of the Chu family is not what it used to be.

Chu Linchen thought for a while and said, "Since the lord and the prince are so kind, I will accept it."

Gong Shouze and his son looked at each other with satisfied smiles.

Sometimes, the addition of power does not necessarily bring blessings or disasters...Qin Shu gently held Chu Linchen's hand, and the two of them interlocked their fingers.

After the awards were over, Gong Shouze still had business to deal with, so he left Gong Hongxu to continue entertaining everyone.

Since the Crystal Palace is used exclusively for entertaining foreign guests, it is not just for eating. There are still many places worth seeing.

Gong Hongxu led everyone to visit.

When it was almost over, Qin Shu thought that the cakes at the banquet just now were not bad, so he planned to pack some for Mr. Shen to take home.

She didn't hesitate and told Gong Hongxu directly.

Gong Hongxu said straightforwardly: "No problem! He was invited today, but he couldn't come in person. Since he likes to eat these, I'll ask someone to pack more for you to take home."

Qin Shu nodded, "OK."

After visiting the Crystal Palace, a man who looked like a head chef came to Qin Shu.

He said to her respectfully: "Miss Qin, I asked the back kitchen to make some new pastries. Would you like to pack them all up or take some away?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shu knew that the other party must have done a lot.

She waved her hand politely, "I don't need that much, I'll pick some for Mr. Shen, thank you all."

Glancing at Chu Linchen, he and Xin Sheng were still talking about things with Gong Hongxu, it seemed to be about Wells, and even Liu Yufeng joined in.

She followed the head chef to the back kitchen, and the shelves were full of freshly baked desserts.

Sweet, savory, and mixed flavors are available.

Qin Shu picked some and asked the head chef to pack them into two boxes.

One box for Mr. Shen, one box to take home for Grandma and Weiwei.

"Miss Qin, I'll send it to you." The head chef offered to help carry the box.

Qin Shu was wearing a dress, and it was not so convenient to walk with the hem of the skirt in one hand.

She was also polite, and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you."

The two returned to Crystal Palace.

Passing through the corridor, the crystals refract sunlight into colorful colors and sprinkle it on the ground.

Qin Shu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on the crystal pillar not far in front of him.

"Miss Qin, what's the matter with you?" the head chef asked suspiciously.

Qin Shu blinked his eyes, and when he looked over again, there was nothing unusual.

But she clearly saw a gray-blue figure from the projection of that pillar just now.

Very familiar.

She was almost sure that the one who was fighting for her with Zheng Hongan's people was her!
