The driver, Brother Zhang, naturally nodded, but before leaving, he remembered the housekeeper's reminder before departure. He paused and quickly looked at the address on Xu Manyu's mobile phone.
“Good taste restaurant”
On the other side, Lu Jinghuai had just finished get off work and had not yet left the office when he received a message from his family driver.
A positioning.
Lu Jinghuai frowned slightly and received the next message just as he was puzzled.
"Mr. Lu, his wife, and his daughter are planning to dine at this restaurant."
In an instant, Lu Jinghuai understood the meaning of the previous address, but he knew without hesitation that it was arranged by Uncle Chen at home.
Lu Jinghuai thought that after all the hard work yesterday, seeing Lin Yan so tired this morning, and the dinner party with Xu Manyu in the evening was cancelled, he got off work on time because he wanted to go back to see how Lin Yan was doing.
Who would have thought that the dinner went on as normal and Lu Yingqian was brought along. Lu Jinghuai was now home from get off work, and there was no one else at home except Aunt Liu and Uncle Chen.
Lu Jinghuai hesitated for a moment, replied a message to the driver, sat back at the computer, turned it on, and planned to deal with some work.
In the office outside, it was already time to get off work. The secretariat hadn't waited for Lu Jinghuai to get off work for a long time, so it was not convenient for them to leave first.
Finally, someone couldn't help but ask Assistant Ji: "Assistant Ji, is Mr. Lu planning to work overtime today?"
The man hesitated to speak, but Assistant Ji understood his intention and spoke up. "You can go back after you finish your work."
In fact, Assistant Ji was also a little surprised. Lu Jinghuai hadn't worked overtime for a while, and there was nothing important that required overtime to solve recently.
However, as an assistant, he knew his job and would not pry into anything out of curiosity.
The man's face lit up with joy after hearing what Secretary Ji said, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Assistant Ji. Let's go back first."
After asking Assistant Ji, I learned that the people in the secretariat had left one after another, and there was no one left in the company. However, many people couldn't help but gossip in private groups.
"Is there not much work lately? Why did Mr. Lu suddenly work overtime today?"
"Could it be that Mr. Lu and his wife had a fight? I heard from the translation department that his wife didn't come to work today, and Mr. Lu isn't leaving work anymore."
…
At the same time, on the other side, Lin Yan and Lu Yingqian also followed Xu Manyu to the small restaurant where they started to locate.
The restaurant is not big. The owners are a middle-aged couple. There is no luxurious decoration. The business is from the nearby factory. The dishes look like the most ordinary home-cooked dishes.
Xu Manyu agreed to treat everyone, and after sitting down, she ordered two large dishes directly, and then gave the menu to Lin Yan and Lu Yingqian, indicating that they could order the dishes.
The two ordered two more side dishes and put down the menu. Because Xu Manyu was not good at speaking, there was not much communication at the table.
However, after dinner, Lin Yan briefly asked about Xu Manyu's situation.
"Manyu, are you doing okay at the factory? Is there anything you're not used to?"
Xu Manyu typed a response with her eyes curved.
"It's really good now. I earn over 4,000 yuan a month and I can support myself. Thank you, Lin Yan."
If there was no Lin Yan, there would be no Xu Manyu today. Xu Manyu is really grateful to Lin Yan.
Perhaps seeing what Xu Manyu was thinking, Lin Yan smiled and said, "I really didn't help at all."
After the meal and some chatting, it was already eight o'clock and the sky outside the window was getting dark. Considering that Xu Manyu still had to work tomorrow, Lin Yan ended the dinner.
When they came out, Lin Yan did not compete with Xu Manyu for the bill. Xu Manyu would only feel comfortable if she paid for the meal.
The food around here is not expensive, a meal costs less than 200 yuan, which is affordable for Xu Manyu's salary.
After Xu Manyu paid, Lin Yan smiled and said, "You treat me this time, but next time you have dinner, it will be my turn."
Xu Manyu did not refuse. As friends should give and take, she nodded directly. The three of them went out and planned to send Xu Manyu home first. Just when they were about to go back, Lin Yan sent a text message to the driver, saying that they should arrive now.
As a result, when I went out, I saw a car parked in front of the restaurant, but it was not the car that the driver drove out at the beginning.
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, and when the car window rolled down, the person in the car was Lu Jinghuai.
"Why are you here?"
"I'll take you home." Lu Jinghuai answered simply, and nodded slightly as a greeting when he looked at Xu Manyu.
Xu Manyu felt a little restrained. She nodded and subconsciously looked at Lin Yan, then took out her cell phone and typed.
"Yan Yan, I'm going back first."
Lin Yan held her hand and said, "Manyu, Lu Jinghuai is here, let us take you there."
Xu Manyu subconsciously wanted to use sign language to refuse, but unfortunately Lin Yan had already quickly opened the car door and pushed her in.
The restaurant is quite a distance away from the factory. It's dark now and many street lights are broken. How could Lin Yan feel safe letting her go back alone?
Lu Yingqian also got in the car and tactfully sat in the back seat with Xu Manyu.
Lin Yan sat in the driver's seat.
Xu Manyu now lives in the factory dormitory. The factory is not far from the restaurant, and it takes less than five minutes to drive to the factory gate.
Xu Manyu got out of the car and waved goodbye to Lin Yan. After the car drove away from the factory, Xu Manyu returned to the dormitory.
"Maggie, is that your friend? He looks quite rich." Someone in the same dormitory asked as I just entered the dormitory.
Xu Manyu nodded without thinking much about it. Although she had not had much contact with Lin Yan, she roughly knew that Lin Yan's family conditions must be very good.
The woman on the upper bunk also heard the man's question and leaned out. "Your friend drives a luxury car, so he must be powerful. Can't he arrange a better job for you? How much can you earn in this factory?"
Xu Manyu glanced at her and then looked away, not responding to her at all.
The woman tutted.
At the same time, in the car on the other side, Lu Jinghuai asked Lin Yan after Xu Manyu got out of the car.
"Are you relieved now?"
Lin Yan raised her eyebrows and nodded honestly: "Not bad."
Xu Manyu looked in good condition, and she felt much more relieved. She had been worried that Xu Manyu would have difficulty communicating and would not be able to adapt to H City by herself.
But Xu Manyu adapted faster than her, which is really great.
Lin Yan felt a little better. Because she didn't want to disturb Lu Jinghuai, she didn't chat with him anymore. She took out her phone out of boredom and checked it, and she saw the message sent by Tong Miaomiao.
"Yan Yan, you had a fight with Mr. Lu."
Lin Yan paused for a moment, but she knew that Tong Miaomiao was not talking nonsense. She glanced at Lu Jinghuai who was sitting in the driver's seat and replied directly.
"No? What's wrong?"
Tong Miaomiao replied quickly: "I heard from the secretariat that Mr. Lu didn't have any important work today, but he worked overtime until 7 or 8 o'clock. It is said that he had an argument with you and didn't want to go home. And since you didn't come to work today, there are even more speculations."
Lin Yan almost laughed out loud and replied directly: "Don't worry, we didn't argue. I went out to see a friend today so I asked for leave."
After saying that, Lin Yan put down her phone and looked at Lu Jinghuai. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "You didn't go back home. Did you come directly from the company to pick me up?"
