Chapter 143 I like you, please consider me.
Fu Shenyuan frowned, thinking he was hallucinating.
How could he possibly run into someone he knows in a foreign land?
That's unrealistic and unlikely.
However, when Fu Shenyuan looked over again, he still saw Jiang Ranxing and Ji Shiheng chatting and laughing.
The person in charge next to him continued, "Mr. Fu, our partner is also hosting a fashion week. We heard that you're coming, so they've specially reserved a VIP front-row seat for you. We wonder if you'd be interested?"
Fu Shenyuan wanted to refuse when he heard what the person in charge said, but then he heard that it was Fashion Week.
Last time, we said that Jiang Ranxing was a designer who had to work, and that she came with Ji Shiheng.
So this fashion week should be one they're going to attend.
Fu Shenyuan nodded, a rare occurrence for him. The person in charge was overjoyed to see this; it was a rare honor for President Fu to do so, which must be an expression of approval for his work.
"Then, Mr. Fu, please stay at a nearby hotel tonight. I've already made arrangements, and I'll have someone come again tomorrow to invite you to attend Fashion Week."
Fu Shenyuan kept his gaze fixed on the window and nodded again.
He said, "Go and get a list of designers for tomorrow and send it to me tonight."
“Yes, yes, Mr. Fu, I will take care of it as soon as possible,” the person in charge was already overjoyed. “Mr. Fu, let’s move upstairs to a private room.”
Fu Shenyuan waved his hand and said, "No need, just sit over there."
Fu Shenyuan pointed to a very inconspicuous table in the corner.
That spot was perfect for seeing Jiang Ranxing and the others.
However, the person in charge panicked as soon as they saw it. That spot was so hidden and cramped, how could they let President Fu sit there?
Absolutely not! That would be disrespecting the CEO!
The person in charge said apprehensively, "Mr. Fu, it's too noisy here. I'm afraid it will disturb you. You'd be much quieter upstairs. I'll arrange it for you."
Fu Shenyuan had no interest in arguing with the person in charge, so he simply walked to a corner and sat down.
The person in charge was sweating profusely, and had no choice but to follow along.
"Mr. Fu, what do you like to eat? Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
The manager asked cautiously, but Fu Shenyuan didn't answer. So the manager ordered the signature dish himself, hoping not to step on Fu Shenyuan's landmine.
Fu Shenyuan kept his eyes on the two people by the window.
No, it could be said that he had been watching Jiang Ranxing's every move.
Ji Shiheng was talking to her, but Jiang Ranxing seemed amused and smiled brightly.
Jiang Ranxing was as radiant as a flower in the morning sun, appearing much more vibrant with life.
Moreover, he hadn't seen that kind of smile on Jiang Ranxing's face for a long time.
Why did she smile at Ji Shiheng?
She wondered why she had stopped smiling.
Fu Shenyuan frowned slightly.
The person in charge couldn't figure out why Fu Shenyuan had suddenly changed, so they could only follow Fu Shenyuan's gaze to look out the window.
However, he couldn't see anything clearly, as he didn't recognize anyone.
"Mr. Fu, are you not satisfied with this restaurant? We can go to another one."
The person in charge asked tentatively.
Fu Shenyuan said, "No need, this is fine."
The person in charge was sweating profusely and dared not say anything more, for fear of displeasing the young boss.
At the dining table by the window, Ji Shiheng talked about many lighthearted topics to make Jiang Ranxing happy.
Ji Shiheng said to her, "If you could just smile at me a little more, it wouldn't be a waste of my time trying to make you happy."
No matter how much trouble Jiang Ranxing had on her mind, she couldn't help but be affected by Ji Shiheng.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the restaurant.
Jiang Ranxing and Ji Shiheng looked over and saw waiters dressed in local ethnic costumes and a band playing hand drums walking into the restaurant, creating a unique and exotic atmosphere.
The band members played the local harp and interacted with the diners at each table, offering them a local flower.
The music grew closer and closer, eventually reaching Jiang Ranxing.
The musician politely handed Jiang Ranxing a flower and said something in the local language.
Jiang Ranxing couldn't understand, so she turned to Ji Shiheng and asked, "President Ji, what are they saying?"
Ji Shiheng smiled, his eyes flashing with a glint of shrewdness.
Then he said, "They said you're beautiful, that we're a good match, and that they'd like to invite us to dance."
Jiang Ranxing's cheeks flushed slightly, and she began to doubt Ji Shiheng's words.
However, Ji Shiheng's expression was very calm, and the band members had been waiting beside him the whole time. Jiang Ranxing nodded.
Ji Shiheng stood up, extended his palm upwards to Jiang Ranxing, and invited her.
Jiang Ranxing paused for two seconds, then placed her hand on Ji Shiheng's hand.
The two stood up and swayed gently to the music and instruments of the band.
Jiang Ranxing was initially worried that too much movement would affect her health, but later realized that she was overthinking it.
The local dances are very slow and rhythmic, with almost no movement.
She finds it quite comfortable to move around like this occasionally after sitting for a long time.
Gradually, the surrounding diners also turned their attention to him and applauded. Jiang Ranxing didn't understand, so he asked Ji Shiheng what it meant.
Ji Shiheng said, "They said you are beautiful and I am handsome. They wished us a long and happy marriage, and that we would be of one heart forever."
Jiang Ranxing smiled after hearing what he said.
Jiang Ranxing joked, "President Ji, I'm starting to seriously doubt whether your translation is real or fake."
"Do foreigners even know how to use idioms?" Jiang Ranxing joked with a smile.
Ji Shiheng smiled, a smile that was both open and handsome.
"Okay, I lied to you, but it's not the first time I've lied."
As the music played, Ji Shiheng put his arm around Jiang Ranxing's waist and leaned close to her ear, saying, "I lied to you from the very first thing they said when they came over."
Ji Shiheng whispered in her ear, "Actually, I wanted to invite you to dance. It has nothing to do with them."
After listening, Jiang Ranxing's ears gradually turned red, and she slightly distanced herself from Ji Shiheng.
"Mr. Ji, are you... are you drunk?"
Ji Shiheng had drunk some wine and was slightly drunk. When he spoke, the warm breath of the wine sprayed onto Jiang Ranxing's ear. His tone was mellow, moving, and ambiguous.
Ji Shiheng said, "Jiang Ranxing, I think you're pretty good. Why don't you consider me, hmm?"
This straightforward statement meant that Jiang Ranxing fully understood what Ji Shiheng meant.
So, as she turned around during her dance, she completely distanced herself from Ji Shiheng.
Jiang Ranxing said, "President Ji, you're drunk, and I'm a little tipsy too. I'm going to the restroom."
Just as Jiang Ranxing was about to leave, Ji Shiheng pulled her back to his side.
The distance between the two shortened once again.
Ji Shiheng said in a low voice, "If I said I wasn't drunk, would you consider me?"
Jiang Ranxing looked up and met Ji Shiheng's gaze.
Ji Shiheng's eyes were burning with intense heat, scorching Jiang Ranxing's attention.
She walked away from Ji Shiheng again: "Mr. Ji, you've had too much to drink, why don't you rest for a bit? I'm going to the restroom."
Jiang Ranxing left the dining table somewhat awkwardly and walked towards the corner, which was the only way to the restroom.
Jiang Ranxing was so focused on walking forward that she didn't notice the people around her, and naturally, she didn't see Fu Shenyuan either.
Fu Shenyuan stiffened as Jiang Ranxing passed by.
She didn't see him at all.
Fu Shenyuan took a sip of the amber-colored liquor in his glass.
Then, Fu Shenyuan abruptly put down his wine glass, stood up, and walked towards the restroom.
The person in charge was startled by Fu Shenyuan's somewhat gloomy demeanor.
"Mr. Fu, where are you going?"
Before the person in charge could finish speaking, Fu Shenyuan had already disappeared.
At the sink outside the restroom, Jiang Ranxing splashed some water on her face, and the cool water helped her regain some of her composure.
Ji Shiheng's words were too direct, catching her completely off guard, which is why she made an excuse to go to the restroom.
Jiang Ranxing thought for a moment, maybe Ji Shiheng was just drunk.
Regardless, those were probably things he said when he was drunk.
When she goes back later, she should act as if nothing happened; that might be much better.
As Jiang Ranxing was thinking this, when he looked up, he saw a person and his deep eyes reflected in the large, clean mirror in front of him.
Fu Shenyuan looked into Jiang Ranxing's eyes through the mirror; her eyes were bloodshot and swollen.
He spoke in a cold voice, with a hint of barely perceptible grievance in his tone.
Fu Shenyuan said, "Jiang Ranxing, have you forgotten about me?"
