"Hello, Consultant Li, please have a seat. What would you like to drink? Coffee or tea?" Lishan was dressed like a typical strong woman, and she was very efficient in her actions and speech. Her office was the only room without a secretary, and she always handled the reception of guests herself. Her secretary would never appear in her office without her permission.

"The tea is ready, thank you." Li Jia admired this short-haired, strong woman. To be able to sit in this position at the age of thirty-something, it would be absolutely impossible without some outstanding professional skills.

"I don't think Consultant Li would personally come all the way here for a meal with a few friends, would he?" Li Shan's understanding of Li Jia was limited to the information provided by the company's board of directors. The information mentioned very little, but one thing was very important: Consultant Li had a VIP card personally given to her by the group's top president. Therefore, she had to maintain absolute respect for Li Jia at all times, and Li Jia's status was just a nominal title that would not interfere with the hotel's operations.

Even so, Lishan was still full of curiosity about this consultant, Li Jia. Regardless of what kind of person Li Jia was, the fact that the group's top president personally gave her a VIP card meant that she was definitely not an ordinary person. Therefore, Lishan planned to learn more about Li Jia if she had the chance, and today seemed to be a good opportunity.

So when Li Jia entered the room, Li Shan, who was usually serious and reserved, made an exception and smiled at Li Jia, and they chatted like ordinary friends.

"This time, a few friends are a bit special. One of them is my girlfriend, two other friends I'm very close to, and one is my love rival. Hehe, actually, he can't really be called a love rival. It's just that the guy always likes to bother my woman. I haven't had time to deal with this for a while, but I happen to have time today, so I want to give that guy a comprehensive attack."

"I didn't originally intend to bother Miss Lishan, but since I'm here, it seems inappropriate not to say a few words or greet her. So, I made a phone call and came here to bother Miss Lishan a bit." Li Jia put down her teacup and slowly replied, looking at Lishan's interested gaze. What she said was naturally half true and half false, but after listening to Li Jia's words, Lishan nodded indifferently.

"Consultant Li is very witty, but it's alright to use a little trickery for the woman he loves. Don't worry, I'll arrange everything. Just wait and see, hehe. This is probably the first time I've helped someone since coming to China. To be honest, this isn't really my style." As soon as Li Shan finished speaking, Li Jia sensed something in her words. This woman seemed quite interested in her, which was why she was helping her. Li Jia smiled slightly and said, "Thank you very much then. I'll invite Miss Li Shan to try some Chinese delicacies another day as a way of repaying her for her help today. Hehe, I hope Miss Li Shan will do me the honor of joining me then."

The local specialty Li Jia mentioned naturally reminded her of Old Man Fang's Flaming Rice Noodles in the snack street. She hadn't had a bowl of it in a long time and was really craving it.

“Alright, I’ll accept your offer!” Lishan clearly had a deep understanding of Chinese culture, and her use of idioms was quite skillful.

"They're here?" As the two were talking, Li Jia took out her phone, which showed a text message from Hai Mingyue. Looking at Hai Mingyue's text message, Li Jia was even more confused. What on earth was Young Master Zhang up to?
