Dinner was again at the hotel restaurant, but this time in a larger private room.

In the afternoon, Dong Xiaolu received a call from Tian Jiajia, who invited her to dinner. Han Ming was unwilling to go out, so Dong Xiaolu had to find a way to get Tian Jiajia to come to the hotel.

Although Dong Xiaolu bought clothes for Han Ming in the afternoon, he still didn't change them, wearing a plain T-shirt and casual pants.

Han Ming thought to himself that he wasn't going on a blind date to meet a pretty girl, so why should he dress so formally?

Dong Xiaolu told him to change into new clothes, so he deliberately went shirtless and acted like a hooligan in the room.

He kept teasing Dong Xiaolu, and Dong Xiaolu couldn't take it anymore, so she could only let him have his way and wear whatever she wanted.

When they met up before dinner, Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu were surprised to find that Zhao Lihua and Zhuang Yan were dressed in new clothes.

Zhuang Yan, in particular, dressed himself neatly and smartly, wearing a well-fitting new uniform, which, combined with his inherent military bearing, made him quite a sight to behold.

Han Ming found it strange; what was this guy doing, making it so formal?

When Zhao Lihua saw that Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu were still dressed the same as they were in the morning, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Originally, she wanted to dress presentably so as not to embarrass Dong Xiaolu, and also to show some class and elegance in front of Dong Xiaolu's wealthy friends.

Seeing that Han Ming and the others weren't dressed up much, they wondered if they were being too concerned.

Han Ming walked up to her and kept praising Zhao Lihua for how well she was dressed.

Dong Xiaolu, who was standing next to her, also remarked that Aunt Zhao's outfit made her look like a university professor, exuding the charm of an intellectual woman.

Zhao Lihua was originally considered an educated woman. In that era, those who could succeed through education must have had something unique about them.

In addition, she was quite good-looking when she was young, and after this makeover, her whole image has changed dramatically.

She was no longer a rural woman with a rustic air; instead, she exuded the air of a female entrepreneur.

After Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu said that, Zhao Lihua's confidence improved, and she smiled broadly.

Zhuang Yan, standing to one side, pulled Han Ming aside and asked him how his outfit looked.

Han Ming had been pondering this; Zhuang Yan seemed unusually serious today, unlike his usual self.

Could it be that he's met a girl in the city who's captured his heart these past couple of days? Surely not that fast.

Hearing Zhuang Yan ask this question at this moment, he jokingly asked:

"Hey Zhuang Yan, are you going on a blind date or something? You're all dressed up so dashingly, which girl are you trying to seduce?"

Normally, if asked this question, Zhuang Yan would definitely respond with a grin, but unexpectedly, this time Zhuang Yan actually smiled sheepishly and did not deny it.

Han Ming noticed that his slightly dark face was actually a little red.

Something's not right. There must be something going on with this guy, Han Ming was certain of it.

When the four of them arrived at the restaurant's private room, Han Ming unexpectedly encountered an old acquaintance: Du Yan, Han Ming's former boss and the behind-the-scenes big boss of Zhenyu Network Company.

Du Yan was clearly not very familiar with Han Ming. Only after Tian Jiahua's guidance did he lower his condescending gaze and look at Han Ming.

It's understandable that he wasn't very familiar with Han Ming as Han Ming's former boss.

With over a hundred people in the company, how could he possibly know everyone so well? Besides, it's rare for him to come back to the company for a visit.

As for Han Ming, he used to be just a small-time worker; calling him a white-collar worker was like putting pure platinum on his face.

In the few years I've been with the company, I've only seen the big boss a handful of times, mostly during company meetings, where I'd just catch a glimpse of him from afar.

Han Ming was puzzled. Tian Jiajia invited Dong Xiaolu to dinner, and not only did Tian Jiahua come, but his former boss also came.

Looking at Du Yan, there was a woman dressed in a flamboyant manner sitting next to him. Her low-cut dress made it seem as if she was going to squeeze out her breasts.

Could it be that the rumored high-ranking executive in the company was a relative of Dong Xiaolu, and that this Du Yan is the one?

Han Ming glanced at Dong Xiaolu; his girlfriend hadn't mentioned this to him after receiving the phone call that afternoon.

Dong Xiaolu was completely surprised to see Du Yan sitting in the private room.

She didn't really like this General Manager Du. If her family hadn't insisted that she go to Zhenyu Company for a period of training, she wouldn't have wanted to go.

Seeing her boyfriend looking at her with a puzzled expression, she could only shake her head helplessly, indicating that she didn't know Du Yan would come either.

Tian Jiajia was very enthusiastic, holding Dong Xiaolu's hand and talking non-stop. Dong Xiaolu also took the opportunity to ask why Du Yan had come.

It turned out that Tian Jiajia said it was her brother Tian Jiahua who had called her over.

Han Ming overheard their conversation and began to wonder what Tian Jiahua meant by inviting Du Yan over.

Du Yan's gaze was full of contempt just now. Could it be that Tian Jiahua admires Dong Xiaolu and is taking this opportunity to find an accomplice to attack him?

Thinking about it, Han Ming realized that dinner wasn't very tasty.

But those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. Now that Han Ming is no longer working for Du Yan, why should he be afraid?

"Hey, cousin. Long time no see! I heard you got a boyfriend? Look at you, you didn't even ask your cousin to check him out. It would be so bad if you got scammed."

Look at how much money your dad has; there are tons of people eyeing this lucrative opportunity. You'd better keep your eyes open.

Du Yan, this spoiled brat, spoke with a mocking expression. Although he was addressing Dong Xiaolu, his small eyes kept looking at Han Ming with disdain.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Lihua and Zhuang Yan's expressions changed. They realized that this was a trap, a blatant attempt to mock Han Ming.

They naturally felt disgusted by Han Ming's allies, so they looked at Du Yan with cold faces.
