"Sir, please wait!"

As the waiter chased after them, he shouted, "I was just joking with you, I hope you won't take it to heart."

"Huh? Why are you back?"

Song Lu turned around and was surprised to see that it was the same waiter who had been so rude earlier. "Are you apologizing to us?"

"right!"

The waiter nodded emphatically, quickly walked over, but not to Song Lu. Instead, he bowed to Wang Qian, then put on a pitiful look and said in a cute tone, "I was just joking with you. You're not really angry, are you?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Not only Zhao Kang and Song Lu, but Wang Qian was also a little confused.

"My name is Shi Manyu. Can we be friends?"

Instead of answering, the waiter extended a slender hand to Wang Qian, her face full of gentle smiles.

Don't try that on us!

Before Wang Qian could answer, Song Lu stepped forward, blocking Wang Qian and Shi Manyu. "Weren't you so arrogant just now? Why have you suddenly changed?"

"I just said..."

Just as Shi Manyu was about to explain, a low shout suddenly came from not far away, "Shi Manyu, were you arguing with a guest just now?"

Turning my head, I saw a young man wearing a suit, tie, and leather shoes.

He wasn't particularly tall, but he was balding, with several prominent forehead wrinkles, and his expression was extremely serious.

"Manager Luo, no, no, that's not true. I'm introducing the product to a customer right now."

Shi Manyu, unable to argue with Song Lu, hurriedly and fearfully tried to explain to the young man who was striding forward.

"Don't think I didn't see it?"

The young man who approached said sternly, "What have I always told you? Be patient with guests, always keep a smile on your face, but just now..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

His gaze suddenly locked onto Song Lu.

"Luo Zheng, it's you?"

Just as the young man was in a daze, Song Lu spoke first.

Wang Qian and Zhao Kang were both taken aback.

Could it be that we are old acquaintances?

Wang Qian was simply surprised.

But after Zhao Kang glanced back and forth between Song Lu and the young man, his expression became somewhat strange.

"Song Lu, what are you doing here?"

As Song Lu called out his name, the young man finally realized, "I almost didn't recognize you just now."

"I never expected to run into you here!"

Song Lu smiled, her face full of surprise. "Do you work here?"

"yes!"

Luo Zheng nodded and said with a wry smile, "After dropping out of high school, I've been working hard in Yong'an City, and I'm currently working here for the time being."

He spoke very modestly, without deliberately showing off that he was a manager, and his smile was genuine, without any airs about him.

Beside her, the waiter suddenly tensed up, his face filled with unease.

This woman just kept saying that she should call the manager.

At that time, she arrogantly said that the other party was not qualified to see their manager.

Unexpectedly,

Their manager, Luo Zheng, actually knows this woman.

Isn't this awkward?

If this woman takes the opportunity to complain, given Luo Zheng's relationship with her, she will definitely lose her job.

However, to her surprise, this woman named Song Lu did not immediately complain to Luo Zheng. Instead, she just smiled and said, "With a fighting spirit, you will eventually succeed. You are already the manager of this store, which is already very good!"

"I'm destined to just work a regular job!"

Luo Zheng chuckled self-deprecatingly, then glanced at Wang Qian and Zhao Kang beside him, "These two are your friends, right?"

"right!"

Song Lu nodded and pointed to Wang Qian, saying, "This is our boss, Wang Qian!"

Then, she tugged at Zhao Kang next to her, "His name is Zhao Kang, he's my boyfriend!"

"Hello, Mr. Wang! Hello, Mr. Zhao!"

Luo Zheng was very polite, shaking hands with Wang Qian and Zhao Kang one after the other, his smile always genuine.

Then, he turned to the trembling waitress beside him and said, "Shi Manyu, you go back to your post. I'll take care of these guests."

"Yes, Manager Luo!"

Shi Manyu dared not refuse, nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and left as if fleeing.

However, she remained uneasy, worried that Song Lu would reveal what had just happened.

"Song Lu, it's been so many years. It's great to run into you here today. If you, your boyfriend, and Boss Wang don't mind, I'd like to treat you to dinner after get off work."

Song Lu did not answer, but instead cast questioning glances at Wang Qian and Zhao Kang.

It's one thing for Wang Qian, the boss, to run into her former male classmate here, but she has to consider her boyfriend Zhao Kang's feelings.

Every man has a possessive nature, especially when it comes to women.

Her boyfriend, Zhao Kang, was no exception!

It's impossible for Zhao Kang not to feel uneasy about suddenly running into a male classmate who then warmly invites her to dinner.

Wang Qian didn't speak, but looked at Zhao Kang.

He actually wanted to agree.

After all, this is a very good opportunity.

only,

Luo Zheng was, after all, Song Lu's classmate, and whether Zhao Kang accepted the invitation or not mainly depended on Zhao Kang's opinion, as Song Lu's boyfriend.

"It's too kind of you, Mr. Luo, we'd really appreciate it!"

Amidst Song Lu and Wang Qian's astonished gazes, Zhao Kang not only did not refuse, but instead revealed a bright smile.
