Since that morning swim, Lin Ximan found that she would feel particularly energetic that day, so every morning thereafter, she would go to the backyard to swim a few laps before having breakfast.
The man next door also postponed his work time by ten minutes.
A week later, Lin Ximan found Lu Mochen again with the finalized plan. They each brought their secretary to the office and spent the whole afternoon talking about the plan.
Most of the time, Lin Ximan was talking and Lu Mochen was listening, and he would occasionally ask some questions to help her clear up some confusion.
By the time the conversation was over, it was already evening.
"Deputy Mayor Lu, it's so late. Let me treat you to a meal. Thank you for your care for our group." As a business owner, it is very necessary for Lin Ximan to invite government officials to dinner. In the future, she may not be able to invite them even if she wants to.
After hearing this, Lu Mochen glanced at her, tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Sure, I know a private restaurant that has good food, and its ancestor was a royal chef."
"That's great. I'll have to trouble Vice Mayor Lu to lead the way." Lin Ximan said with a playful smile.
"Let's go together." Lu Mochen glanced at the little girl and said, "Don't call me by my official title outside. It doesn't leave a good impression."
Lin Ximan thought about it and agreed. It wasn’t very nice to call him deputy mayor in public. So what should she call him?
Brother Lu? It seemed that this was the only way to call him that. She couldn't call him Brother Mo Chen, could she? If she dared to call him that, maybe Deputy Mayor Lu would embarrass her on the spot.
Don't think she can't see the ruthlessness behind his gentle appearance.
"Okay, Brother Lu."
The man seemed to be pleased by her calling him Brother Lu, and the smile on his face became much more sincere.
When they got downstairs, seeing Lu Mochen about to get into his Red Star car, Lin Ximan quickly stopped him.
"Deputy Mayor Lu, why don't you take my car? There are only a few of us, and it would be troublesome to take two cars."
Lu Mochen looked at his Red Star car, then at Lin Ximan, turned around and whispered something to his chief secretary and driver, then he gestured to Lin Ximan to lead the way.
It was only when she reached the door that Lin Ximan realized that the chief secretary and the driver were not with her. Was it that Deputy Mayor Lu was going to the date alone?
Then shouldn't she also bring her secretary and driver? If her boss doesn't bring them, isn't it too arrogant for her to bring them?
If she didn't bring him along, would it have a bad impact on the two of them having dinner together? She didn't expect what Mayor Lu would do to her. What a joke. With Vice Mayor Lu's status, exquisite looks, and noble temperament, what kind of woman wouldn't he want?
Moreover, her melon is too difficult to chew, and the leader will not make such a mistake.
After sending away her driver and secretary, Lin Ximan sat in the driver's seat. However, Lu Mochen did not sit in the back seat, but in the front seat.
Ignoring the surprise in her eyes, he said calmly, "Let's go. I'll show you the way."
Oh, indeed, it’s not easy to give directions while sitting in the front, so let’s just walk.
After arriving at the private restaurant, they found that this was authentic Huaiyang cuisine. With Lu Mochen's status, it was not suitable for him to dine in the lobby. The two of them went into a private room and did not order any dishes. Because Lu Mochen seemed very familiar with this place.
The waiter took them out of the private room and came in only once before serving the food, to bring tea.
After leaving the municipal building, Lu Mochen seemed to have turned on a switch and started to talk more. He was no longer the man who was frugal with words during the day.
For every dish served, he could tell a story, describe its taste, and describe the cooking skills, like an old gourmet.
Halfway through the meal, Lin Ximan noticed that Lu Mochen seemed to have only eaten a few bites of the food, and then he started to work hard on the prawns on the dish. It took him twenty minutes just to crack open the shells.
He also introduced this dish of shrimp in detail. It was obvious that he liked it very much, as you could see from the fact that he spent twenty minutes peeling the shrimp shells.
Lin Ximan looked at his plate, then looked down at her own plate, pursed her lips, took out a small bag from her bag, tore open the package and took out a pair of disposable gloves inside, and began to peel the shrimps on the table. After peeling five or six, she turned the plate to the man's hand, looked up to signal him to eat, and then lowered her head to peel the shrimps again.
The man opposite looked at the peeled shrimps on the plate in front of him, then looked up at the girl opposite who was peeling shrimps, and said, "Thank you."
However, Lin Ximan was peeling shrimps with her head down, and did not see the curve of the man's mouth opposite her as he ate the shrimps, nor did she see the fleeting gleam of light in his eyes.
She was peeling shrimps and complaining in her mind, "I knew I couldn't go out to eat with the boss. There are so many things to do! I am the richest man in the country now, why do I have to do this work for others? Oh, what a mistake, she should have someone with her, so that she doesn't have to serve people herself!"
Having money is not as good as having power! There is a saying in China: having money does not necessarily mean having power, but having power means having money. Think about it carefully.
'Forget it, just think of it as picking up a young hunk, a top-notch one at that, she won't lose out! So, if you think about some things from a different perspective, you will get a different result.'
Of course, the premise of changing the angle is that Lu Mochen's appearance and temperament are really top-notch, and sometimes he does things that make people feel a sense of palpitations inadvertently.
When they were almost done eating, Lin Ximan found an excuse to go out and pay the bill, but was told that it had already been paid. But Lu Mochen didn't leave the room? How did he pay the bill?
The waiter didn't know what to do and had to ask the boss, but the boss said that Lu Mochen didn't need to pay the bill when eating here, but he wouldn't tell us the reason.
