Chapter 614 Carefully Selected Restaurant
Wang Zhaoning was naturally surprised to meet Gao Zhan at this time and place. "Are you here to visit the prison too?"
This is a prison, and people from outside come here basically only for the purpose of "visiting the prisoner."
Gao Zhan was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled, "No, I came here with Ah Ci."
Wang Zhaoning turned his head to look at Chen Ci with a slightly surprised look, and saw Chen Ci nodded: "I brought him here."
Duanduan observed the expressions of several people from the side, eating melon in silence.
Wang Zhaoning, on the other hand, reacted quickly. After all, she was no longer naive and ignorant. Looking at the two people standing in front of her, she already knew that their relationship was obviously not as simple as before.
Immediately revealing a meaningful smile, Wang Zhaoning looked at Chen Ci and said, "You should have told me earlier. If I had known you had something important to do today, I wouldn't have asked you to come."
"Looking at my brother is also serious business."
Wang Zhaoning sighed slightly, then glanced at the time. "The timing is perfect. You can go have lunch when you get back to the city. Duanduan and I won't disturb you."
"Okay, Duanduan, then you send my sister-in-law and Xuxu and Xixi back."
Chen Ci didn't say anything else. After all, the next date was between her and Gao Zhan.
Wang Zhaoning raised her hand and gently squeezed Shen Ci's arm, and said with a look of satisfaction in her eyes: "Go, have fun."
She had long considered herself as a member of Shen Ci's family. In Wang Zhaoning's opinion, Gao Zhan was a good boy and a good match for Shen Ci.
Back in the car, Shen Ci looked at Gao Zhan and asked, "Did you make any arrangements in advance for our first date?"
"Of course." Gao Zhan said softly, "Although I have no experience, I still need to plan it. I hope you like it."
"So where are we going now?"
"Let's go back to the city for lunch. I remember you said you like Chinese food. There's a delicious Chinese restaurant in the city. I've reserved a table in advance."
Because the destination is different, the return journey also takes a different route.
And this return journey was much more familiar to Shen Ci.
She bought a lot of properties and acquired dozens of companies and factories in Yangming District, which were basically concentrated in this square area.
While driving, she also saw the hotel she bought from Su Zheyuan, which was being renovated in full swing.
There is also an unfinished building project that she and Uncle Yang jointly took over, which is now under construction and reconstruction.
“I grew up in Yangming District when I was a child.”
Gao Zhan suddenly looked out the window and said, "Although Longcheng was also very prosperous back then, it felt like the gap between the districts wasn't that obvious. Now it seems that Yangming District's development is really not good. It's been the same for so many years, with no substantial changes."
"But at that time, Yangming District had many factories, providing jobs for over a million people in the municipal government. However, it was precisely because of the large number of factories that the district could not develop."
"Now that many factories have closed down, this place seems even more deserted and dilapidated."
Listening to Gao Zhan's slightly melancholy tone, Shen Ci said, "You are quite nostalgic."
"It's not nostalgia, maybe it's the sight that brings back memories. I'm usually busy, so it's been a while since I've been to Yangming District."
Chen Ci took out his cell phone and opened the calendar. His memories of his previous life were relatively vague, and the time and trajectory of many things that happened after his rebirth were different from his previous life.
She had a premonition that changes in Yangming District would come soon.
"Between water and clouds."
When Gao Zhan's car slowly stopped in the parking space outside the main entrance of Shuiyunjian, Shen Ci realized that the delicious Chinese restaurant he was talking about was actually the Chinese restaurant in Shuiyunjian.
As one of the shareholders here, she is very familiar with her own restaurant.
The Chinese restaurant here is a "Black Pearl Double Diamond" and the average cost per person is very high.
"Have you been here?" Gao Zhan suddenly looked at Chen Ci and asked.
Shen Ci looked at him and nodded without lying: "I've been here a few times, the food here is indeed good."
"Really? This is my first time here!" Gao Zhan said, naturally taking Shen Ci's hand: "Then you treat me this time, and I'll pay."
Chen Ci smiled without saying a word, letting him lead her into the gate of "Shuiyunjian".
We took the elevator directly to the Chinese restaurant. It was almost time for dinner and there were already several tables of guests dining in the restaurant hall.
The staff were no strangers to Chen Ci, but they did not rashly reveal her identity directly. They waited patiently for Chen Ci to speak first.
Shen Ci didn't say anything, Gao Zhan took the initiative and said, "I have an appointment, Mr. Gao, both of you."
"Please wait a moment." The waiter looked up after finding Gao Zhan's reservation information in the system: "Mr. Gao, we have reserved a window seat for you today."
As he spoke, his eyes subconsciously looked at Shen Ci. Seeing that Miss Shen had remained silent, he tentatively asked, "Do you need a private room with better privacy for the two of you?"
There is a minimum consumption for the private room, and it is very expensive!
The waiter was smart enough to proactively say, "There's no minimum charge for private rooms during weekday lunchtime."
Gao Zhan heard this and looked at Shen Ci to ask for her opinion.
Chen Ci looked at the waiter and smiled slightly, then said: "No need, just give us the window seat in the hall."
So the waiter said no more and raised his hand to lead the way: "Mr. Gao, Miss Shen, please come this way. Watch your step."
Gao Zhan frowned slightly and looked at Shen Ci in confusion: "How does he know your last name is Shen?"
"I've been here a few times. It's nothing new to be remembered for being so beautiful, right?"
"That's right."
Gao Zhan didn't think much about it, and followed Shen Ci holding his hand.
After taking his seat, Gao Zhan looked around the restaurant and the excellent view from this location, and then he felt satisfied and relieved.
Shen Ci observed his reaction and couldn't help but jokingly asked, "Why? Do you think you found the right restaurant?"
Gao Zhan smiled and nodded frankly: "It's really not something I'm good at. I looked at the reviews online and compared the average price per person. In the end, I chose this relatively expensive one, thinking that the probability of making mistakes would be smaller."
"Don't be so cautious. I agreed to go out with you just because I want to date you."
"I understand, but it's our first time after all, so I want to make it official."
He handed the menu to Shen Ci and asked Shen Ci to order the dishes like a gentleman.
The last time they were together as a couple for a day, they exchanged their preferences with each other, and Chen Ci still remembered them all, so she didn't order anything that Gao Zhan didn't eat, didn't like, or was allergic to. She carefully selected four dishes and a soup to suit their tastes.
"Gao Zhan?"
At this moment, two young and beautiful girls suddenly came to Gao Zhan. One of the girls with long hair looked at Gao Zhan with surprise and said in shock, "Is it really you?"
As she spoke, her eyes subconsciously fell on Shen Ci who was opposite Gao Zhan.
Gao Zhan was also surprised to see the other party, but he responded calmly: "Fei Fei!"
