Chapter 73 It’s not the first time I see you

Ye Jingzhan drove to the agreed address, but he didn't expect that the man was standing at the door waiting for him.

Seeing him get off the car, she took a few steps towards him and said, "It's time to get off work. Is the road congested?"

Ye Jingzhan nodded: "A little bit, have you been here for a long time? Am I late?"

The man shook his head: "No, I came just in time."

The two talked as they walked to their seats. The man did not book a private room as he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable dining in public for the first time, so he chose a slightly secluded window seat in the restaurant.

After sitting down, Ye Jingzhan said, "I'm so sorry, let me treat you to dinner today."

The man was confused: "Huh? Why are you apologizing? Because I was waiting for you outside just now?"

Ye Jingzhan smiled: "That's the reason."

The man then asked: "What other reasons are there?"

Ye Jingzhan said apologetically: "It's like this, I may have drunk a little too much yesterday, so I caused you to misunderstand. In fact, I am very busy at work and don't have much time, um,"

Ye Jingzhan didn't know how to express it more accurately, because the other party just asked him out for dinner and didn't express any thoughts. Maybe after the meal, they would find that they had nothing to talk about.

No matter how I say it now, it seems a bit self-indulgent.

Although he didn't finish his words, the man understood what he meant. It seemed that he felt that he had given the contact information hastily and regretted it a bit.

He didn't mind, in fact, it was not the first time he saw this person.

But it seemed that the other party had no impression of him at all except for what happened at the bar yesterday.

He looked at the young man with an embarrassed expression and raised his hand to add water to his cup: "Don't worry, I understand what you mean."

Ye Jingzhan looked at him. The man's appearance was not particularly stunning, but he was also very handsome, with sharp features, yet he looked gentle under the lighting in the restaurant. He had a very outstanding temperament, and his every move was elegant, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

The man smiled and continued, "Maybe you don't remember me, but yesterday was not the first time I saw you."

Ye Jingzhan was very surprised. If he knew this person, it would be impossible for him to have no impression of him at all.

He tilted his head unconsciously, and the man was touched by his unintentional action, but out of respect, he still restrained his smile and continued, "You are someone close to Lu Junze, right?"

Ye Jingzhan suddenly became alert. Although his expression did not change much, the man could sense his guard.

"Don't be nervous. I'm your boss. He should call me cousin." The man was a little reserved and explained, "Don't worry. I have no ill intentions towards you. I really want to get to know you."

Ye Jingzhan relaxed a little: "Then when did you meet me last time?"

"At a cocktail party, you followed Junze. Actually, I noticed you at that time, but I had to leave early for something else and didn't have time to say hello."

Ye Jingzhan thought about it after hearing it, but still didn't know which cocktail party it was.

The man knew that he didn't remember. After all, he didn't have any interaction with him at that time. He just noticed him and then passed by him. If he couldn't remember, he wouldn't force it.

He did not continue to talk about the cocktail party, but said seriously: "I want to introduce myself seriously. My name is Lu Junyan, I am a university professor, my family is in business, I have an older brother, most of the family business is inherited by him, I am more free."

Ye Jingzhan didn't know how the situation turned out like this, so he could only follow the man's words and introduce himself in a daze: "I'm Ye Jingzhan, Mr. Lu's assistant, graduated from Nanjing University of Technology, and from City C."

Lu Junyan thought that the man in front of him was so cute even when he was confused. He sensed that he was a little nervous and asked, "Well, do we officially know each other now?"

Ye Jingzhan was very polite: "Yes, Mr. Lu."

He didn't expect that a random person he met in the bar was Lu Junze's relative, which made him feel a little restrained, although there was no reason for it.

Lu Junyan looked at the man and was still a little nervous. He moved closer and said, "Jing Zhan, can I call you that?"

Ye Jingzhan: “Okay.”

Lu Junyan wanted to say something, but after thinking for a moment, he just handed the menu over: "It's really rude to call you out for dinner and only focus on talking. What do you want to eat?"

Ye Jingzhan didn't answer: "I'm not picky about anything. Let Mr. Lu come. I'm not familiar with the dishes here."

Lu Junyan did not refuse: "Okay, I'll order it then. Is there anything you cannot eat?"

Ye Jingzhan: "No, it's up to you."

Lu Junyan nodded, ordered two signature dishes, both light, and finally asked Ye Jingzhan: "Would you like a drink or wine?"

Ye Jingzhan shook his head: "I just need to drink water."

Lu Junyan folded the menu and handed it to the waiter.

The two of them were speechless again: "Jing Zhan, am I too serious? I feel like you are a little restrained. I shouldn't be scary, right?"

Ye Jingzhan quickly denied: "It's not your problem, it's my own. Maybe it's because I know you are the boss's cousin, so I feel like I'm having dinner with the boss."

Ye Jingzhan admitted it frankly, and Lu Junyan laughed, half jokingly saying: "I don't know what to do with you. I wanted to get to know you and asked you out for dinner, but you treated me like your boss. I'm in a dilemma!"

Ye Jingzhan remembered the purpose of today's meal and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I made you misunderstand me. In fact, I am not considering making friends now. I am sorry for wasting your time."

Lu Junyan was not discouraged: "Why don't you learn more about it? Life is not just about work."

What Lu Junyan didn't tell him was that as early as after the cocktail party, he had asked Lu Junze about Ye Jingzhan, and then he did some research on his own.

If he hadn't bumped into him by accident in the bar yesterday, he would have gone to Lu Junze's company in a few days to find a chance to get to know him.

Ye Jingzhan didn't know how to answer. He knew that life was not just about work, but work had become his life.

Especially since he was still preparing to leave Lu Junze, if there was no suitable position at that time, he would even resign.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. He can go back to his hometown and find a job, but the salary will definitely not be as good as it is now, so he should just work and earn money.

Mr. Lu seems to be a good person. I should not waste his time. It is obvious that he does not want to make an ordinary friend.

If you have the intention, you can try to understand it first, but the current situation is obviously not suitable. If there are any developments in the future, it will be difficult to sort out.

He knew himself, and whenever he saw Lu Junze, he would never choose anyone else.

Therefore, I guess the only way to make friends with him is to go to a place where I can't see Lu Junze.
