Chapter 21 The Five Meet for the First Time

"Another round?"

It was obvious that Mr. Tang was not satisfied yet.

Lu Shinian came back to his senses and looked up at the sky. It was almost noon.

"It's getting late, Grandpa Tang and Grandpa Shen. Your family will be worried if you don't go home."

"Will you come tomorrow?" asked Mr. Tang.

"I might not go in this direction tomorrow."

After all, he came here to play.

Mr. Shen: "You just arrived in Beijing, right?"

Mr. Shen spoke from the side.

Lu Shinian: “Yes.”

"It's fate that we met. Beijing is not that big. We can learn from each other when we have the chance."

Although Mr. Tang felt it was a pity, he couldn't try to keep him.

Lu Shinian: “Grandpa Tang, Grandpa Shen, see you again if we are destined to meet.”

Lu Shinian took out his cell phone and checked the time.

It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. He raised his hand and touched his stomach. He felt nothing just now, but now he felt the hunger coming from his stomach. Thinking about the psychological trauma brought to him by the soy milk yesterday, he silently hailed a taxi and chose to go back to the hotel.

When he returned to the hotel, he was already starving.

By the time he finally filled his stomach, it was already afternoon and he was feeling a little sleepy. Playing chess with Mr. Tang today had consumed too much of his energy, and he needed a good sleep to regain his energy.

Lu Shinian spent three days touring the capital city, trying many local specialties and visiting flower and bird markets and antique markets. During that time, he even found a small gadget that caught his fancy.

He was having so much fun that he almost forgot about the reason he came to Beijing.

It was not until the evening when Xiao Jing confirmed the time and place of the meeting with him that Lu Shinian suddenly remembered that the time for the meeting had come.

In order to show how much he valued this partnership, Lu Shinian changed into a casual suit, combed his hair back, and put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses to cover his dazzled eyes.

Lu Shinian looked at himself in the mirror, who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing an exceptionally bright smile.

In a quiet and high-end coffee shop opposite Peking University.

A tall, handsome young man with a bookish air sat in the corner, his eyes looking at the door. He would look up and down every person who came in for two seconds inconspicuously, as if to confirm whether the person was the one he was waiting for.

"Hello, would you like something to drink?"

Several waiters pushed each other and didn't dare to go forward and disturb him.

Finally, a brave waiter came to Xiao Jing's table and asked.

Xiao Jing: "Give me a glass of warm water, thank you."

A magnetic and clear voice sounded, coupled with Xiao Jing's gentle smile, the waiter couldn't help but blush.

"Okay, wait a moment."

After saying that, the waiter turned around and saw several colleagues staring at them at the bar, and their faces became even redder.

"jingle"

At this time, another young man came in. He was wearing a black casual suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He had gentle eyebrows and a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

The exact opposite of the one in the corner.

--What a great day today is! I get to meet two extremely handsome guys.

After Lu Shinian entered the door.

He looked around, stopped at a corner, and walked straight towards it.

At this time, Xiao Jing also saw him. Their eyes met briefly for two seconds, and then Xiao Jing was the first to look away.

Lu Shinian paused slightly.

He held his forehead.

--I almost forgot that Xiao Jing didn't know him.

When he came to Xiao Jing, he raised his hand.

"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Lu Shinian."

Xiao Jing stared at the handsome young man in front of him for two seconds before he reacted.

"Hello..Hello, I'm Xiao Jing."

The last time I heard his voice, I thought he would be very young when he passed by, but I didn't expect him to be this young.

"Are you surprised?"

"That's a little bit. Are you also a student at Kyoto University?"

"No, if nothing unexpected happens, I should call you senior in two months."

"You are so young?"

Xiao Jing was really surprised. Lu Shinian was much quieter than he had imagined. His voice was several decibels louder. Even his usually calm face was filled with astonishment.

"Yes."

Lu Shinian couldn't help but chuckle.

Xiao Jing held his forehead, smiled and spoke.

"Let's talk business first. This game has gone through several rounds of testing and is ready for release. I called you here because I want to discuss the conditions you mentioned at the beginning. Can we talk about it now?"

"I hope you can help me find a nursing home with a better environment, one that won't be easily disturbed by outsiders."

"this.."

Xiao Jing was surprised, thinking it was some condition that could not be met.

"Okay, I'll take the initiative and agree to it."

"Thanks."

"Since you're here, are you free to have dinner together tonight?"

"sure."

Lu Shinian agreed readily. Although he had seen photos of the four of them in business news and on the Internet in his previous life, he had never met them in person. Looking at the young version of the future gaming tycoon in front of him, the smile on his face deepened a little.

"I decide the location?"

Xiao Jing spoke tentatively.

Lu Shinian: "I'm fine with it. It's up to the host."

"Okay, set the time and location and I'll send it to you. See you tonight."

"See you tonight."

Lu Shinian waved to Xiao Jing who was walking out.

After finishing the discussion, he waved to the bar and asked for a cup of coffee. After taking a sip, he half leaned back in his chair, emptying his mind and letting the slightly bitter liquid in his mouth go down his throat.

Ding Dong

The message alert sounded.

Lu Shinian picked up the phone and found that it was a text message from Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing: 7 p.m.

Xiao Jing: 'Jingbai 806'

Xiao Jing: {Hotel Location}

--So fast, it seems it has been decided long ago.

Lu Shinian laughed and typed a few words on the screen with one hand. After the message "Sent" appeared, he put away his phone and continued to sip his coffee.

6:30 in the evening.

At the entrance of Jingbai Hotel.

The waiters are guiding the guests who are coming to dine and parking their cars in an orderly manner.

A taxi slowly stopped at the entrance of the hotel, out of place among the various luxury cars and private cars around it.

The waiter hesitated whether to step forward, and the back door of the taxi was slowly opened from the inside.

I saw a young man in a navy blue suit getting off the car. When I looked up, the first thing that caught my eye was a pair of straight and slender legs wrapped in trousers. The well-tailored suit made the young man's waist look even slimmer. The collar of his shirt was slightly open, revealing his delicate collarbone. His fine bangs fell on his forehead, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, covering his charming peach eyes.

The young man was dressed in a light dark color, ignoring the various glances from the people around him. He raised his hand to adjust his cuffs and walked straight into the hotel.

The waiter who was still hesitating stepped forward

"Hello sir, do you have a reservation?" the waiter asked with a smile.

Lu Shinian: “Yes, box number 806.”

"Yes sir, please follow me."

The waiter took Lu Shinian to the door of the box and left.

The box doesn't look big.

He sat in the corner and waited for a few minutes. Then he looked at the time and it was almost 7 o'clock.

--It should be here soon.

Just thinking so.

There were voices talking outside the box.

"Has the Great God arrived yet? How old is he? What should we call him later, Lu Shen or Lu Ge?"

"You can call him Road God. Of course, it's fine if you call him Brother if he doesn't mind."

"What do you mean? Is the Great God too old?"

"You'll know when he gets here."

"What?"

The sound outside the door reached Lu Shinian's ears. He stood up and waited for them to enter the box.
