Chapter 50: Choosing Such a Shabby Place

"I'm so happy. Look at you, such a talent was almost buried! Fortunately, you woke up. Don't worry, I will help you apply for a patent for this research. I have to let everyone know that this is your achievement."

Although it was the result of the team, the biggest contributor was Jiang Yao. Basically, the entire process was led by Jiang Yao.

Shi Ruishan was so happy that his eyebrows were dancing with joy. He really valued and loved talented people.

Jiang Yao was deeply moved.

"Thank you, teacher. This time, I will not let you down."

This newly generated material is the result of the project upgrade that Jiang Yao had previously promised to Xie Hao.

The contract issue should be settled.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yao called Xie Hao.

The two made an appointment to meet at the office of Liheng Group.

Jiang Yao provided some materials to the other party, although the patent has not yet been applied for.

However, the feasibility of CM material upgrade has been confirmed, with a 100% success rate.

Xie Hao looked at her with eyes full of appreciation and admiration.

"Ms. Jiang, I always thought you were just a bunch of empty talkers and underestimated you. Now I sincerely apologize. I see your talent, and I'm completely confident in handing this project over to Yunsheng Company."

"Thank you, Director. You didn't know me before, so it's normal for you not to trust me. Cooperation is based on results. I wish us a happy cooperation in the future."

Jiang Yao looked calm and took the initiative to extend his hand to the other party.

“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”

Xie Hao extended his hand back to shake it, then thought of something, and a light flashed in his peach blossom eyes.

"Anyway, I apologize for the wrong decision I almost made earlier. I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight. Would you be so kind as to invite me?"

The man spoke in a calm and confident manner, with a hint of sarcasm, but it was obvious that he meant well.

And now that things have come to this, Jiang Yao naturally has no reason to give up.

"Then I will respectfully obey your command?"

Jiang Yao smiled happily because of the completion of the project.

Staring at her smiling face, Xie Hao's heartbeat inexplicably quickened a few paces...

Jiang Yao, whether in terms of ability or appearance, has it all...

Perhaps with the opportunity tonight, there will be further development. Thinking of this, Xie Hao was in a very good mood!

"Then let's go, Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Yao followed Xie Hao to the elevator and waited to go downstairs.

In another elevator, Li Beiting happened to walk out.

Just as the elevator door closed, I saw a familiar figure.

Just as Li Beiting was about to see clearly, the elevator door slowly closed.

"Mr. Li, what's wrong?" asked the assistant beside him.

Li Beiting shook his head, it must be an illusion.

How could Jiang Yao appear in Liheng Group?

The other end.

Jiang Yao followed Xie Hao to the hotel.

The decoration of this place exudes an antique charm, with rows of beautiful screens with smooth lines separating the seats.

It feels like being in a beautiful landscape painting, with someone playing the melodious guzheng next to you, which makes people relax both physically and mentally.

The environment was quiet and elegant, and seemed of high quality. Xie Hao gentlemanly opened a seat for her.

"Thanks."

"You are welcome."

Xie Hao's tone was gentle, and he took the initiative to set the table for her and poured her a glass of water.

Then he pushed the menu in front of her.

"This is also my first time eating here with a girl. I heard the environment is great and the dishes are very unique. I hope you like it."

Jiang Yao was slightly startled, feeling that his attitude was a little too enthusiastic, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

It felt like two people were on a date, but soon I started to suspect that I was overthinking it.

She looked down at the menu, a little surprised. "The names of these dishes are indeed very unique. Let's start with 'Flowers in the Mist', 'Crispy Jade Leaves', and this 'Emerald White Jade'... That's all. You can order the rest!"

She handed over the menu.

Xie Hao only glanced at it after clicking it. "Then I'll add another dish, 'Haoqiu Soup'. It sounds very meaningful. What do you think, Miss Jiang?"

As he spoke, his passionate peach blossom eyes were always fixed on her face.

Jiang Yao suddenly recalled the line from the Book of Songs: "The orioles are singing on the river island. The beautiful lady is the ideal match for the gentleman."

Her heart tightened. Was she worrying too much this time?

"I feel fine." She could only respond vaguely.

Xie Hao didn't mind, and then he casually opened his mouth to test the waters.

"Speaking of which, Miss Jiang, since we weren't very familiar with each other before, I never asked if your relationship with the Lu Corporation's CEO had completely ended... Seeing his stubborn attitude before, I was a little worried that he would affect our cooperation."

Jiang Yao thought he was concerned about important matters and nodded quickly.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Xie. Lu Xuan and I no longer have any connection, let alone any interest in each other. All the results I gave you were my own work. Even if he tries to cheat or sue me, it will be meaningless."

"That's good."

Xie Hao's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.

"Miss Jiang is such an outstanding girl, it must be very distressing for her to be entangled with that kind of person, right?

But I've heard that the best way to get rid of the entanglement of the previous relationship is to invest in the next one—"

Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat, and the strange feeling in his heart became even stronger.

So, she wasn't overthinking it!

The air suddenly fell into an inexplicably tense atmosphere.

"Excuse me, your food has arrived."

Just at this moment, the waiter came over with the dishes, breaking the current atmosphere.

Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Hao felt a little regretful. His eyes fell on the dishes on the table and he was stunned.

"Is this the dish we just ordered?"

Jiang Yao asked uncertainly.

"Yes."

The waiter smiled and nodded, pointing one by one, "This is seeing flowers in the fog——"

Refers to stir-fried cauliflower with shredded pork.

"This is Suqiong leaf——"

Refers to toasted steamed bread slices.

"Emerald white jade—"

Refers to green vegetables and radishes.

The only good soup is the last one, which is lotus leaf, bamboo shoot, cherry and turtledove soup.

Jiang Yao really wanted to say it was a scam.

But thinking that someone else was treating me, I held myself back.

Xie Hao's expression became interesting.

He treated the girl he admired to delicious food, it wasn't something so shabby!

If he had known it was such a rip-off, he would never have come to this restaurant recommended by his friend.

He really suspected that his friend was deliberately trying to trick him.

"Ahem... please add three more dishes." At this time, he could only bite the bullet and continue to add more food.

Jiang Yao quickly waved his hands, trying to save his face.

"It's okay, these are enough to eat, and they are quite fresh dishes, haha!"

Xie Hao: “…”

So embarrassing!
