Chapter 131 Teaching a Billionaire CEO How to Plant Rice

At first, Fang Zhou didn’t notice that Han Xi had entered the field. It wasn’t until he heard the gasps and exclamations around him that he realized the usually aloof woman, who seemed to be above worldly affairs, was now standing in the field, staring blankly at a clump of seedlings.

“Han Xi.”

Fang Zhou called out to her, puzzled as to why she had come down.

The high and mighty CEO, who should be in skyscrapers, shouldn’t be here.

Her confused expression and actions didn’t match the surroundings.

“How do you do this?”

Han Xi held up the clump of seedlings, openly asking Fang Zhou how to plant them.

Her expression showed confusion and bewilderment, but there was no hesitation.

“You didn’t have to come down. Just go about your business.”

Fang Zhou was surprised that she actually wanted to plant rice.

From what he knew, Han Xi wasn’t someone driven by curiosity or playfulness.

If it were Qiao Sisi standing here, he wouldn’t be so surprised.

Some girls are naturally curious and love to explore new things.

For Qiao Sisi, this might just be fun, but Han Xi was different.

Han Xi would weigh the value of everything she did.

Besides, wasn’t she busy with the people following her?

“I want to try.”

Han Xi’s eyes were pure, and her tone sincere, so sincere that Fang Zhou didn’t know how to refuse her.

Alright, if she wants to try, let her try. At worst, he’d help her out later.

Fang Zhou put away his thoughts of dissuading her and walked through the field to her side, picking up the seedlings to demonstrate.

“First, like this, take two seedlings, then insert their roots into the field, about a finger’s depth.”

As he spoke, Fang Zhou demonstrated.

Han Xi watched twice and nodded lightly, then took the seedlings and tried to insert them into the mud, but they fell over.

“Pfft.”

Someone on the bank couldn’t hold back their laughter.

It was the intern, who quickly covered her mouth under the department head’s warning gaze, but her eyes still crinkled with amusement.

Hahaha, she didn’t mean to laugh.

It’s just that President Han was too cute.

The usually omnipotent CEO was stumped by planting rice.

This contrast was like someone always standing on a cloud suddenly getting hit by a passing bird.

No harm done, but it hit some people’s funny bones.

A meme suddenly popped into her head: My CEO can plant rice now!

It wasn’t just the intern who laughed; Fang Zhou also chuckled lightly.

But his laugh wasn’t one of surprise, more of expectation, though it was so gentle that the department head felt it was doting.

He thought to himself: Damn, is Fang Zhou rekindling his romance with President Han?

“It’s okay, pick it up and try again.”

“Mm.”

Han Xi picked up the fallen seedling and reinserted it into the soil. This time it didn’t fall over, but it was crooked.

This was very uncomfortable for someone with OCD.

She reached out to straighten the seedling, and coincidentally, Fang Zhou had the same idea.

Their hands met at the seedling, fingertips touching, as if a current passed through.

Han Xi’s fingertips trembled slightly, like a handful of snow falling from a silent snowy mountain.

She glanced at Fang Zhou without a word, finding him looking at her. Han Xi’s face slowly turned red.

Fang Zhou looked away, withdrew his hand, and let her straighten it herself, lightly coughing.

“This depth isn’t enough; it can go a bit deeper.”

Han Xi straightened the seedling and continued trying a few more times, soon getting the hang of it.

“Not bad, you’re getting the hang of it.”

Fang Zhou never hesitated to praise those who made quick progress.

Han Xi nodded lightly, her expression unchanged, but inside, she was elated by Fang Zhou’s compliment.

Like a kindergartener proud of the craft they brought to school and got praised by the teacher.

A bit of pride and uncontrollable joy.

All this was seen by the employees on the bank, who were internally screaming with excitement.

Ahhh!

President Han came down to earth!

From the looks of it, she might be looking to have a down-to-earth romance!

The most shocked was the department head.

He was completely bewildered, watching Han Xi’s increasingly skilled movements, hardly believing it—President Han was really planting rice!

Damn, what’s going on!

President Han not only learned to plant rice but did so with her ex-boyfriend!

They were chatting and laughing, looking very harmonious. Could they really be getting back together?

The department head’s mind flashed back to two years ago when Fang Zhou was still at the company.

Back then, Fang Zhou seemed to be just an unnoticed intern in the planning department. The department head didn’t have much impression of him.

But for some reason, President Han always inspected the 23rd floor where their department was and had a cup of coffee in the planning department before leaving.

The marketing and planning departments were on the same floor. At the time, the department head thought President Han was just overseeing work.

Later, he found out it was because Fang Zhou was there.

They didn’t show much at the company, but the department head once saw them kissing in the car in the underground garage.

He was shocked, thinking he would be fired when he met President Han’s eyes.

After that, whenever he saw Fang Zhou on the same floor, he always treated him with utmost respect.

He had a deep impression of Fang Zhou, being the first man to win over the CEO!

But soon, they made their relationship public, and Fang Zhou resigned.

The company had a rule against office romances, and even President Han would be criticized by other directors. Fang Zhou didn’t want to pressure her, so he left.

At that time, the department head thought Fang Zhou was a real man.

But within a few months, news came that they had broken up.

The department head was surprised but also found it reasonable, thinking their different backgrounds would cause problems sooner or later.

Everything went as he expected.

But now, he was confused.

President Han didn’t seem like someone who would go back to an ex.

Yes, in the department head’s mind, their breakup must have been Han Xi dumping Fang Zhou.

After all, someone in her position couldn’t tolerate a boyfriend with no money. Besides, Han Xi was always proud.

As for the other possibility, he dismissed it outright.

Impossible! Fang Zhou wouldn’t dare to dump Han Xi!
