Wei Chan didn't care about his rejection. He pushed his glasses up, his mouth curvature unchanged: "It's also to celebrate the official end of Teacher Shi's variety show recording."
Shi Jin heard his subtext.
There are a total of twelve episodes of "Secret Reasoning". According to the arrangement of the publishing house, Shi Jin is the guest of the first two episodes.
But under Wei Chan's arrangement, he only needed to record the first episode.
It's a favor.
Shi Jin's frown relaxed slightly and he responded, "Okay."
——
"Brother Ci, who was that person just now?"
Xu Qian opened the car door and started asking before he even sat down in the seat: "What did you guys talk about? You talked for two hours."
"Fasten your seat belt." Yu Ci glanced at him and said, "He is from the Chen family."
"The Chen family? Erdong Chen?" Xu Qian quickly reacted: "Doesn't the Chen family only have two young masters? The eldest young master is disabled, and we have seen the second young master before, but we have never heard of this person."
Yu Ci rubbed his brows and explained, "He is the illegitimate son that Mr. Chen found."
Xu Qian opened his mouth.
Mr. Chen's illegitimate son...
In terms of seniority, he is an uncle.
but......
Xu Qian was puzzled: "Brother Ci, how could he recognize you?"
The Yu family is considered a clean family in the upper class circle. They are not involved in gangs or politics, and their relationships with the other families are just so-so, except for the Zhong family, of course.
Brother Ci didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the circle, so Uncle Yu just let him do what he wanted.
Therefore, Brother Ci rarely appeared in recent years, and many people of the same generation as Brother Ci in the circle may not recognize him. So how did this illegitimate son of Mr. Chen recognize Brother Ci?
"It was an accident." Yu Ci didn't intend to continue explaining. He started the car and mentioned another thing: "He teamed up with Cheng San."
Xu Qian was even more worried now: "Is Third Brother planning to take action?"
The incident at the hotel last time could not be hidden from Chengjia in the end.
After the truth was revealed, the Cheng family put Cheng Si in solitary confinement. Xu Qian called him several times, but the Cheng family's old and conservative housekeeper always answered the phone.
Cheng Si's condition was obviously not very good.
In the end, it was Brother Ci who called, and the old housekeeper was willing to give the phone to Cheng Si reluctantly.
Xu Qian was not worried about his third brother's strength, he was mainly afraid that the timing was not right.
Yu Ci frowned and said only one sentence: "The Cheng family plans to send Cheng Wu to the Qin family."
The Qin family's newly found grandson is a playboy who eats both meat and vegetables, and everyone in the circle has known about it these days.
Sending Chengwu to the Qin family at this time...
Xu Qian was a little surprised: "Grandpa Cheng has gone crazy. The Qin family has found a grandson like this. It will be a matter of days before they fall. What is he trying to do by sending Cheng Wu over now?"
Yu Ci didn’t understand Mr. Cheng’s plan, but Cheng Si couldn’t sit still.
It was Cheng Si's idea that Wei Chan came to him today. Cheng Si wanted the Yu family to take action.
The power that Wei Chan and Cheng Si currently possessed was not enough to shake the Qin family, but with the help of the Yu family...
The slender fingertips tapped on the hard steering wheel, making a regular "dong" sound.
Xu Qian scratched his itchy chin and looked outside the car, trying to divert his attention.
Warm yellow lights were on in the dim underground parking lot.
It was afternoon at this time. Through the exit of the parking lot not far away, I could see the scorching sun outside. Separated by a simple horizontal bar, the sun was shining on one side, while the other side was dim and dark.
Xu Qian put one arm on the car frame and stared at the car starting in the parking lot with boredom.
The first car to drive out was a small black car carrying a family of five. Three children were sitting in the back seat, and even with their seat belts on, they couldn't stop themselves from playing and laughing.
The second car that drove out was a white car with a couple in it. The woman in the passenger seat had a stern face, and it looked like they had just had an argument. The two of them ignored each other.
The third car that drove out was a red sports car with two men in it. The man in the passenger seat...
Why?
Xu Qian rubbed his eyes and looked carefully: "Brother Ci, I saw Shi Jin."
"clatter--"
The sound of fingertips tapping on the car frame stopped.
Xu Qian's eyes followed the rear of the red sports car: "He went out with the person who just came to see you."
Yu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly and fastened his seat belt calmly.
Xu Qian was still secretly guessing: "I remember that Shi Jin seemed to be related to the Qin family?"
Could it be that Third Brother's partner is a two-faced person? On the one hand, he is in contact with Third Brother, and on the other hand, he is also in contact with the Qin family?
Mission: Impossible? Or Mission: Impossible?
That won't work.
Thinking of this, Xu Qian hurriedly urged: "Brother Ci, hurry up and catch up, it will be too late later."
Yu Ci glanced at him expressionlessly and stepped on the accelerator.
The strong backward thrust at the start pressed Xu Qian firmly into the seat. He held the seat belt tightly with a wrinkled face, and kept complaining in his heart.
Looking at his brother Ci's expression, I would have thought he was going to catch someone cheating.
"What's wrong?"
Wei Chan smoothly turned the steering wheel and asked, "Is the scenery outside the window so beautiful?"
"You've been looking outside since we came out of the parking lot," the man said with a smile on his face. "You're making me doubt my own charm."
The car turned smoothly around the flower bed.
Shi Jin's eyes calmly passed over the jeep that had been following behind him and fell on the Garfield decoration inside the car: "No, it's just a little boring."
Wei Chan tilted his head, his gold-rimmed glasses blocking the light in his eyes: "Car sickness?"
"no."
The tip of your nose is surrounded by the scent of cologne in the car. The rich perfume aroma is like a finely woven net, surrounding you layer by layer.
Just like the strength shown by Wei Chan.
Shi Jin didn't like it very much.
He held his breath almost unnoticeably and changed the subject: "Is it almost time?"
Wei Chan's eyes fell on his pursed lips, as if thinking about something.
Hearing the question, he turned back and said, "Soon."
"Let's have a meal first." He arranged the itinerary calmly: "What do you want to eat?"
"There's a new movie adapted from a novel by Higashino that's out now. Let's go watch it together after dinner?"
Although it seemed like a question, the tone was unquestionable.
Shi Jin frowned slightly. His overly sensitive sense of smell made the fragrance in the car seem even stronger, making his brain dizzy.
He pursed his lips, trying hard to suppress the discomfort in his heart.
"What do you think?"
Wei Chan, who didn't get an answer, repeated, "What do you want to eat?"
Shi Jin leaned closer to the window. The cool breeze woke up his drowsy brain. He relaxed his frown and said, "All right."
The car finally stopped in front of an elegantly decorated restaurant.
The receptionist, who was wearing a light pink Chinese dress, welcomed the two of them in with a smile: "Would you like to sit in the hall or in the private room?"
Wei Chan said: "Box——"
"The lobby." Shi Jin interrupted him: "I feel a little dizzy, I want to sit by the window."
The receptionist was waiting with a smile on her face.
Wei Chan's thoughtful gaze fell on the side of his face. Shi Jin lowered his eyelids and his expression was calm.
"Then let's go to the lobby."
"Okay." The receptionist smiled and held out her hand: "The two guests, please come this way."
Before leaving the front hall, Shi Jin tilted his head as if inadvertently.
Wei Chan noticed his movements: "What's wrong?"
It seemed that there were guests coming behind me. Another receptionist's voice with a smile sounded in the front hall: "Are you two? Please come in."
Shi Jin turned his head back and shook his head slightly: "Let's go, I'm hungry."
"You two?"
The receptionist smiled and called again: "Would you like to sit in the lobby or in a private room?"
"Brother Ci!" Xu Qian raised his voice, raised his hand and tugged at the corner of Yu Ci's clothes, reminding him: "The hall or the box?"
Yu Ci retracted his gaze: "Are the two people in front going to the hall?"
The receptionist remained calm and smiled as she replied, "Yes, the two guests in front of you are heading to the lobby, which has a better view. If you don't mind, you can choose to sit in the lobby."
Yu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then the hall."
The receptionist smiled and led the two to the window seat: "Do you think this seat is okay?"
The restaurant is decorated in an elegant antique style, with hollow bamboo used to separate the tables into small compartments, which is both elegant and ensures privacy.
Yu Ci's gaze fell on the dining table diagonally opposite.
From this direction, you can clearly see the movements and expressions of the two people diagonally opposite you.
So he raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Okay, thank you."
The waiter at the side handed over the menu in due time.
Xu Qian took it and put the menu in front of Yu Ci: "Brother Ci?"
Yu Ci was just about to push the menu away and let Xu Qian decide for himself when he saw the young man in black at the table across from him tilt his head.
He then lowered his head and flipped through the menu in a disguised manner.
"What's wrong?"
Wei Chan pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and said, "You seem to be distracted today."
Shi Jin denied it calmly: "I was just wondering why Editor Wei wanted to see me today."
"Purpose?" Wei Chan smiled. He unbuttoned the two buttons of his high-tied shirt and loosened his collar. "I have no purpose. I just want to invite Teacher Shi to dinner."
"If you must tell me the purpose—"
He raised his eyes, the lenses reflecting the light above his head, making it difficult to see the expression in his eyes: "Like I said last time we met, I want to officially pursue you."
Shi Jin raised his eyes to look at him.
The man across from the table was wearing a well-tailored suit and gold-rimmed glasses, looking gentle and handsome. Judging from his appearance alone, he was undoubtedly an outstanding young talent - if Shi Jin had not seen his information.
Cold-blooded and rational, gloomy temperament, unfeeling and extremely strong.
This is the summary of the man in front of me given in the information.
After all, it had only been a short time since Wei Chan was recognized by the Chen family. He was so busy consolidating the power of the Chen family that he forgot to handle his own information.
The Qin family and the Chen family have always had close contacts, so when Shi Jin was collecting information about the Qin family, he also bought a copy of the Chen family.
However, since Xie Shizhang has returned to China and taken the bait, what happens to the Qin and Chen families in the future naturally has nothing to do with Shi Jin.
He has no ambition and no interest in the Qin family.
As long as the Qin family doesn't bother him again, he will naturally not cause any more trouble.
"Like I said last time we met," Shi Jin lowered his eyelids, his dark eyelashes hiding the look in his eyes, "I'm not interested in relationships."
"Excuse me, the food is served."
The waiter's gentle voice interrupted the tense atmosphere at the table at the right moment.
Brightly colored dishes were served on exquisite plates and spread all over the table.
The waiter who served the food stepped back silently.
Wei Chan crossed his fingers and placed them on the table, his eyes thoughtful: "Is it because you are not interested in love, or..."
He glanced at the corner of the table across from him: "...Is there someone else that Teacher Shi is interested in?"
