Chapter 82 What kind of hellish scene is this?!

Shen Li recalled that he had indeed promised Ji Linzhou that they would have dinner together, and he had even asked if they could order food.

"Let's eat together." Shen Li nodded. "I made quite a lot."

Qu Xiang smiled and looked at the handsome Ji Linzhou, then said to Shen Li, "Introduce him."

Shen Li: "Mr. Ji Linzhou, this studio of mine is rented from him, and he and Master Zhong are distant relatives."

"I see." Qu Xiang, being a businesswoman, was naturally very shrewd. She extended her hand, "Hello, Mr. Ji. Thank you for taking care of Li Li. My name is Qu Xiang. This is my business card."

Ji Linzhou took her business card and shook hands with her.

Since Qu Xiang had already offered her her business card, Ji Linzhou naturally exchanged one with her.

Qu Xiang glanced at the business card and said, "Mr. Ji is truly a promising young man."

For Qu Xiang to say that, she must be quite capable.

Shen Li then realized that she hadn't seen Ji Linzhou's business card yet.

While Ji Linzhou was putting the drinks into the refrigerator, Shen Li leaned over to look at the business card in Qu Xiang's hand.

He quickly understood why Qu Xiang had said that Ji Linzhou was young and promising.

He is indeed young and promising.

The business card bore the logo of a well-known large company in Luocheng. Ji Linzhou's name was followed by "President," indicating that it was a major company that was even known in Jiangcheng and had quite a reputation.

It's clear that this studio was just something he was messing around with; no wonder it could be left empty and rented out to Shen Li at will.

Shen Li and Qu Xiang exchanged a glance, and Qu Xiang could read complete ignorance in her eyes.

It seems that Li Li really knows nothing about Ji Linzhou's background.

However, Qu Xiang considered herself cunning and shrewd. Just hearing that Ji Linzhou and Master Zhong were distant relatives made her realize that this matter was probably not simple.

Qu Xiang knew that Master Zhong was furious when Shen Li suddenly wanted to marry Lu Yanchuan.

"Let's eat." Shen Li looked at Qu Xiang, who seemed to be deep in thought and looked unfathomable. Feeling a little helpless, he gently nudged Qu Xiang and said, "Go get some rice."

She's already in charge of cooking, so serving the food and washing the dishes are no longer her responsibility.

Qu Xiang had no objections, nor did Xin Youran. Just then, the doorbell rang.

Xin Youran always felt that she hadn't done anything and had only been busy eating and drinking for free.

So he went there excitedly, saying, "I'll go drive it! I'll go drive it!"

Shen Li was taken aback. Who would come?

She looked at Ji Linzhou, and judging from his expression, he seemed unaware of the matter as well.

It's clear that the person who came wasn't invited by Ji Linzhou.

Not long after, Xin Youran came in. She walked in first, and when she entered the restaurant, her expression was obviously stiff, awkward, and a little nervous.

She whispered to Shen Li, "Sister Li Li, there are... there are your guests."

Xin Youran looked extremely ashamed, as if she was about to cry.

Shen Li didn't understand at first, but she quickly realized why she had that expression.

A tall figure followed her in.

The scene fell silent.

Shen Li's expression froze, Qu Xiang's expression also froze, and Ji Linzhou's steps toward the dining table also stopped.

The man who followed Xin Youran in initially seemed to have a faint smile on his face.

Those smiles vanished when they saw Ji Linzhou.

The scene... the scene was quite awkward at one point.

Xin Youran was almost in tears. She didn't want to, but she wasn't the owner and didn't have the right to refuse people entry.

She didn't dare to stop the CEO of Lu Corporation from coming in.

Shen Li was only stunned for a moment before her expression returned to normal. "Why are you here?"

Lu Yanchuan's gaze lingered on Ji Linzhou's face for a while before turning to Shen Li, "I've come to have dinner with you."

Lu Yanchuan's expression showed no ill will towards Shen Li; he even smiled and said, "I didn't expect so many guests. I thought only Qu Xiang was here."

Qu Xiang is someone who responds better to force than to gentleness. She was initially surprised to see Lu Yanchuan arrive uninvited, and the atmosphere had suddenly turned cold.

Then I thought about Lu Yanchuan's temperament.

Qu Xiang was already prepared for battle, thinking that if Lu Yanchuan made trouble for Li Li, she would have to help Li Li no matter what.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Yanchuan didn't make things difficult; in fact, his attitude was quite good.

Qu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. When he mentioned himself, she smiled and said, "It just so happens that You Ran was at my place, so I came along. Mr. Ji happened to be here too."

"Mr. Ji." Lu Yanchuan extended his hand to Ji Linzhou and introduced himself, "Lu Yanchuan."

"Mr. Lu, I've heard so much about you." Ji Linzhou shook hands with him. "Ji Linzhou."

Upon hearing the name, Lu Yanchuan raised an eyebrow. "President Ji? I've heard so much about you."

Lu Yanchuan had obviously heard of Ji Linzhou from Luocheng, but since they were from different places and their businesses didn't overlap, they didn't know each other.

So I didn't know what the other person looked like; this was the first time I'd met them.

When Lu Yanchuan brought Shen Li back last night, he only saw her general outline and figure, without looking at her closely.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Is she a friend of Qu Xiang?"

After all, Qu Xiang is in business, so it's normal for her to know Ji Linzhou.

Ji Linzhou smiled and said, "No, I am Shen Li's friend."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanchuan's lips tightened slightly. "Oh? Is she my wife's friend?"

Shen Li slowly replied, "Didn't you see it last time?"

When she asked that question, Lu Yanchuan remembered the tall man who had gone out with Master Zhong that rainy night.

“This studio was rented from him,” Shen Li said.

She got up and filled another bowl with rice, placing it on the table. "Since you're all here, let's eat together."

Qu Xiang glanced at Shen Li sideways. Sometimes she really had to admire Li Li's calm and composed attitude of "since we're here, let's make the best of it."

I don't know if it was the various things I've encountered with Lu Yanchuan over the past five years that have honed my skills.

Qu Xiang admitted that she might not be able to remain as calm and composed as Shen Li.

In short, that's how the meal began.

The food was delicious, every dish was tasty, but Xin Youran could barely eat anything, feeling like she was about to have indigestion!

This is a scene of carnage! What kind of human hell is this?!

Qu Xiang took the initiative to start the conversation, "We were live-streaming when Li Li was cooking just now. Have you two big bosses considered making some investments in this direction?"

Qu Xiang smiled and said, "If so, our company does have a project proposal in this direction recently..."

Lu Yanchuan ate with great satisfaction, casually took out his phone, and answered Qu Xiang's questions as he looked at it.

"Have someone send the proposal to Zhou Yan for review. If the project is suitable, since we've already submitted it, we don't mind submitting a few more."

As Lu Yanchuan spoke, he tapped his phone a few times.

Shen Li sat next to him, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Lu Yanchuan seemed to have sent something out on some social media platform.

But after he sent it, he locked the screen without even glancing at it, so Shen Li didn't see it clearly.

Xin Youran, however, took out her phone after a short while and glanced at it. She must have seen some exciting news, because her eyes widened suddenly!
