Tang Jinyu had no idea how Qi Yi had predicted she would come to this meal, and how he had even booked a private room in advance.
What if she doesn't come?
After thinking about this, Tang Jinyu could tell that Qi Yi cared about her a lot.
It's really not easy to notice her preferences.
Tang Jinyu is indeed a picky person, but she doesn't usually show it. So if someone can rattle off the names of her favorite dishes right off the bat, then it's definitely something she should pay attention to.
There was an ambiguous relationship between Tang Jinyu and Qi Yi, which she had never seriously considered in the past.
I just feel that after knowing each other for so long, nothing I do seems outrageous.
"You really are something."
After Tang Jinyu sat down in the private room, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
There's absolutely no need for that.
There's nothing wrong with eating together even in the lobby.
Anyway, most of the time when you're eating, it's all about the atmosphere; the more people there are, the more lively it is.
When she worked at the law firm Quinoa, people wouldn't talk to her much when they saw her.
Tang Jinyu felt that perhaps it was because of her position that there were many things she couldn't say too much about.
So much so that if they have any gossip, they won't think to tell me first.
She wasn't really into gossiping, but when she saw others discussing these things excitedly and wanted to join in, she realized she knew nothing about it.
Unconsciously, there is still a generation gap between us and these people.
Tang Jinyu believes that even after experiencing so much, there is still a gap between her and them.
It's not something that can be explained in a few words, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Aside from having some discussions with these people during meetings, she mostly stayed in her office and didn't interact with anyone much.
She wasn't inherently a trouble-averse person; she just didn't bother with many unnecessary things.
"Inviting you to dinner is a very important matter, so of course I will take it seriously. It's just that I booked a private room."
"Didn't you get the same treatment when we went out to eat before?"
Tang Jinyu thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.
But something about it just felt off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Qi Yi is quick-witted and can handle any situation with ease, no matter who he is dealing with.
She's not capable.
That title of "senior" wasn't given lightly.
"I just feel that it's unnecessary to spend so much money."
Hearing this, Qi Yi laughed even harder, "I'd like to, but what if someone finds out and thinks I, as your boss, am secretly criticizing you?"
"Don't worry, even if the He family loses the case, he's still just a young master. The He family's foundation is still there after all these years."
"It's just a company, not the He family."
It's always best to clarify some things. Tang Jinyu has just met He Danqing and may not understand some of the connections between them.
It's not a particularly important matter; it's just that the He family has accumulated its own foundation over the years.
The reason for not showing off in front of others is to keep something in reserve.
These days, who knows what other people are up to? It's said that you can't guard against everything. Even if they try to be careful, they're still seen as a thorn in someone's side.
The Ho family was once so powerful, but now they're being put on the spot, which is really not a good feeling.
Tang Jinyu hadn't expected there to be so much to say about this, but she also didn't think that such a small matter could stump He Danqing.
The situation happened so suddenly that they were caught off guard and there was little time to react.
Tang Jinyu thought He Danqing was a very smart person, and given time, he would definitely be able to learn.
Tang Jinyu had never worried about these things.
that is.
Why do you have to tell him even about meals?
"I don't think this is necessary. It's just the two of us eating. What does it have to do with him?"
Do I even need to say that?
Isn't that a bit too much?
Qi Yi shook his head and pushed the menu toward Tang Jinyu, saying, "You don't understand."
"There are no secrets between my brother and me."
"Besides, isn't he also very concerned about your situation?"
He didn't elaborate on what aspect he was focusing on, leaving it to Tang Jinyu to figure out for herself.
We can't expect him to point out everything; otherwise, he'd really become a matchmaker.
Qi Yi felt a headache coming on at the thought of this title falling on his head.
He's really not cut out to be a matchmaker; his tongue isn't very good.
Others can easily matchmake a couple in just a few words, but he's lucky if he can even get someone to meet him once.
He admitted that he was indeed not as capable as those people.
It's just that he wasn't born for this line of work. He can do it reluctantly, but if other things get involved, he might not be able to handle it properly.
Even if you think they're a good match, you can't just bring them together in a few words.
Qi Yi wanted to sigh, but then he thought that since they were eating out, they should at least try to maintain a good mood, so he decided not to.
He didn't want to spoil the mood of Tang Jinyu taking time out of his busy schedule to have dinner with him. Even if he really wanted to say something, he should keep it to himself.
Tang Jinyu was still unaware of what was going on. She was focused on looking at the menu and had checked off two dishes that seemed like she would like to eat.
Then she pushed it back to Qi Yi, saying, "I hope I didn't make any mistakes with these two dishes."
"I've never eaten here before. If I hadn't heard from others that the food here is good, I wouldn't have come."
"Since this is the first time, the correct answer to your question is, I don't know either."
Qi Yi was too lazy to think about it; after thinking about it, it was just the same old story.
When it comes to food, taste is only one aspect; it also depends on who you eat with and what you eat.
If he sat down with Tang Jinyu, Qi Yi felt that he really didn't care much about what they were eating.
He didn't want to at first, and he certainly couldn't have foreseen these things.
Since we're already sitting here, do we need to explain?
It can't explain anything.
He used to think that way because he felt that once he got busy, he wouldn't have time to consider so much, so there was no difference between eating alone and eating with someone.
Most of the time, he would just grab a bite to eat and be done with it. As long as he wasn't hungry, he would go on to do the next thing with great enthusiasm.
From one case to another.
There's never a moment of rest. Let alone eating, it's very difficult to even see anyone.
Tang Jinyu was always in her office or would go to Cheng Chi's place to check on Li Wan, so she didn't notice anything amiss.
Qi Yi had never been here before, so he ordered two more dishes according to his own preferences before calling the waiter over to place his order.
When he goes out to eat now, it's no longer as refined as it used to be.
As long as he can eat his fill, whether he eats early or late doesn't make much difference to him.
Their line of work appears to be a nine-to-five job.
In reality, I never left work on time; working overtime has become the norm.
To stand out from the crowd of lawyers, you have to work harder than others.
A degree is just a threshold; if you don't even have a degree, it's very difficult to enter this industry.
But once you're in, besides resources and connections, what you need to compete on is your own diligence.
Climbing the ladder step by step isn't something that can be done with just a few words.
They all knew exactly what they were supposed to do at what time; they were all perfectly clear about it.
Don't always feel that you're not thorough enough in your work. If you were thorough enough, wouldn't you never make a mistake?
People are bound to make mistakes; they use the time they have to gain experience in return.
There's nothing else to say.
They always feel that whether it's hope or something else, as long as it gets them what they want, it's worth it.
Tang Jinyu had also gone through the same process, so she could understand all too well what one would encounter on this path.
She wanted to use her own experience to tell them directly.
But simply talking isn't enough.
It wasn't of much use; she just wanted everyone to be well.
To become the best version of oneself, however, is completely useless if it is just talk.
Ultimately, it must be practice that serves as the sole criterion for testing truth.
If you're always waiting for others to tell you what to do, then there's no point in doing it.
Tang Jinyu was happy to do this, but he had to believe that not all problems could be solved according to their wishes.
There may still be some changes in the trajectory.
They said that the things they encounter are always changing.
Everyone's experiences are different, so he can't possibly handle everyone's situation perfectly.
Before encountering these events, Tang Jinyu didn't know why either, but there are always reasons that, if he didn't look for them, wouldn't exist.
Occasionally, I think about the people I've met, and they're no different from those in the past.
"You ordered so much?"
Tang Jinyu glanced over unexpectedly and realized that Qi Yi had ordered several dishes without her noticing.
It feels like we might not be able to finish it, but...
If I say I don't order it, it feels like something's not quite right.
Anyway, Qi Yi's actions always leave people scratching their heads.
Tang Jinyu had long since developed a habit of not asking Qi Yi why he did things.
Even if you ask, you might not understand.
"It's nothing much, we just came to try it out. It's a newly opened restaurant, so we should support it."
Whether you eat a lot or a little, that's basically the idea.
Tang Jinyu smiled. Anyone who didn't know better would think they knew the boss. The words "supporting" were quite obvious, and there was definitely something going on between them.
To get her to eat more, they'll say anything and everything.
Tang Jinyu really didn't feel like laughing, but she wanted to save face for Qi Yi.
She didn't laugh out loud, which was good.
It's said that when the two of them go out to eat, there are often many little incidents; they often end up talking about other things while eating.
They might forget what they were supposed to talk about at the beginning, but for them, the problem wasn't too complicated.
It just takes some time to organize and is quite mentally taxing.
After indulging in some lighthearted thinking, who would want to be a smart person?
Such strenuous work will always be eagerly taken on by others, so there's no need for her to push forward any further.
Having earned so much money, it's time to take a break.
I can't be busy all the time.
Once Tang Jinyu regained consciousness, she instantly understood this principle.
She once thought that if she pretended to be completely unaware of the situation, she could get away with it.
However, if someone really wants to pay attention to these things, it may be difficult to find the connection here.
He had considered it, but after considering it, he needed to confirm whether it was actually feasible.
If that doesn't work, try a different method as soon as possible.
Don't always focus on this one thing; if it fails, it will have a significant impact on them.
If you don't think about the problems involved, these disputes won't arise.
Tang Jinyu's greatest wish was to maintain her integrity, and when she couldn't say it aloud, she would use very tactful methods.
If you were to say it openly and honestly, that wouldn't be a bad thing.
In order to make others feel more at ease, she considered all sorts of thoughts, both appropriate and inappropriate.
But that's where it ends.
Sometimes, once these claims are exposed, all the good intentions behind them may be gone.
Tang Jinyu thought to herself that a direct confrontation might not be a guarantee of victory, so she decided to take a shortcut.
Even if there are no shortcuts in life, we should still try as many things as possible.
These things alone may not be enough.
But if they are too lazy to even think about this, it is tantamount to declaring war.
She didn't want to think about it, and she was even less inclined to become the target of others' criticism.
Even if they really did something wrong, there might be some extenuating circumstances.
You could be more tolerant of him; there's really no need to get yourself into a stalemate over just a few words.
Especially in situations like this, she needs to remain calm and not risk losing everything because of a single mistake.
Qi Yi was in a much better mood now, and he was even patient enough to explain to Tang Jinyu.
"When I'm alone, I don't really care where I eat or what I eat."
“But when you’re here, I’m thinking that the environment should be more comfortable, so that when you want to talk to me, you won’t have to hear what I’m saying because of other people being too noisy.”
Qi Yi shook his head; he didn't usually pay much attention to these things.
Only when Tang Jinyu is here will he think about doing things well.
When he doesn't want her to talk to him, he can always find a bunch of excuses.
Life is unpredictable; who can truly understand it?
She didn't really want to see what was going on like this.
If you want to get involved, you'll have to think about it carefully.
However, hearing him say that now, Tang Jinyu felt quite comfortable.
Indeed, the environment is especially important when dining with others.
