Chapter 239 Handling Business Officially
After saying that, Yu Li picked up her bag and got up to leave.
Seeing that Yu Li was about to leave, Jiang Donglin quickly stood up and explained, "Miss Yu, you've misunderstood..."
However, before Jiang Donglin could finish speaking, Tang Shi stepped forward and blocked Yu Li's path.
“Miss Yu, you have misunderstood my senior brother. I found out by chance that he had been interviewed by you, so I begged him to bring me here. I am here to apologize to you.”
Tang Shi said in a very sincere tone, "I'm sorry, Ms. Yu. I was wrong at the dinner that day. I was too emotional at the time. After reflecting on it deeply, I realized that I was wrong."
"I owe you an apology, but I feel that since I am sincerely apologizing, I should say it to your face. I am really sorry, but I hope you are willing to forgive me. I am sincere and want to be friends with you, Ms. Yu."
But Yu Li isn't stupid. Would a privileged girl like Tang Shi, who was pampered by her parents from a young age and surrounded by flattering people, be conscious of her mistakes?
The answer is clearly no.
Moreover, Tang Shi must have liked Qi Chenyan.
Judging from her words and actions that day, this affection must have lasted for many years.
How can a relationship that has been built up over many years be let go of in just a few days?
Anyway, if it were Yu Li, even if she really let go of a relationship, she probably wouldn't be able to get along peacefully with her former rival as if nothing had happened.
It's not that she's petty, but rather that she doesn't have many friends. She values genuine friendships more, and if there's any pretense involved, then there's no point in wasting time on such so-called relationships.
"I have received Ms. Tang's apology. Is there anything else?"
Although Yu Li's tone was flat, it conveyed a sense of detachment.
Tang Shi looked at Jiang Donglin with a pitiful and helpless expression.
Clearly, whether at home or outside, Tang Shi doesn't need to say anything because of her privileged background.
People were eager to please her, fawn over her, and treat her like a princess.
As a member of the band, she was undoubtedly the most beloved member, so when she gave him a single glance, Jiang Donglin immediately understood.
He smiled and joked, "There's an old saying that you don't know someone until you fight them. Miss Yu and Shishi are quite a special kind of fate. Since you're here, how about you have a meal together for my sake?"
Since Jiang Donglin had already said that, and the other party was a guest on her show, Yu Li couldn't just walk away, so she sat back down.
Tang Shi sat down next to Jiang Donglin.
"I used to come to this restaurant often when I went back to Beijing. The food is still pretty good. Miss Yu, what would you like to eat?"
The waiter brought over three tablets, one for each person to order food online.
Yu Li's purpose was certainly not to eat. After ordering a dish at random, she started chatting with Jiang Donglin about work.
"I have read the script that Ms. Yu sent. It breaks down highly specialized knowledge like the violin in such a popular and interesting way that I think even a music novice can understand it."
"Such skill cannot be achieved simply by understanding the violin; Miss Yu must have put in a lot of hard work."
"No wonder Ms. Yu took such careful notes at the concert that day. I admire her so much for her dedication to her work."
Yu Li smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are too kind. As the saying goes, one should do one's job in one's position. Since I am going to interview Mr. Jiang and do content about the violin, it would be wrong for me to be a complete novice."
"Not only would the audience be unhappy to watch, but Mr. Jiang would certainly not agree to record so readily."
Yu Li spoke directly yet with a touch of worldly wisdom, and Jiang Donglin's impression of her clearly improved, leading him to laugh heartily and cheerfully.
Tang Shi was unusually quiet this time, sitting quietly to the side eating and hardly saying a word the whole time.
So much so that when Yu Li was asking Jiang Donglin about some errors in the script, she became so engrossed that she even forgot about the existence of Tang poetry.
By the time everything was revised, Tang Shi had already finished eating.
"Senior, although work is important, you still need to eat. I know you're a workaholic, but can't you also consider the ladies?"
Jiang Donglin slapped his forehead. "Look at me, I always end up talking non-stop whenever the violin comes up. Miss Yu's food is getting cold. Should I have the kitchen reheat it?"
Yu Li stopped him, "No need to trouble Mr. Jiang, I don't eat much outside anyway, I'm already full."
"This communication was very pleasant, and I am very grateful for Mr. Jiang's guidance. I will refine the script when I get back, and then I will ask Mr. Jiang to review it again."
Seeing that Yu Li was completely businesslike and did not give any indication that she wanted to stay alone with him or take things further, he realized that Yu Li was completely professional and did not intend to give any indication that she wanted to stay alone with him or take their relationship to the next level.
Moreover, although Jiang Donglin was focused on the script, he still managed to spare some attention for it.
He deliberately placed one of his hands next to Yu Li's hand.
This is a signal.
If the other person is also interested in him and wants to take things further, then their hand will seemingly casually touch his hand.
Some foreign women were even very open and directly grabbed his hand to extend an invitation.
Unlike Yu Li, who not only didn't touch him at all throughout the entire process, but Jiang Donglin even touched the pen just as she handed it to him.
She didn't even have a chance to test the waters again before she quickly let go.
No flirting, no touching, completely businesslike; ignoring all signals from Jiang Donglin.
Is it because she's never been in a relationship and is too naive, or is it because she understands him but isn't interested in him?
Regardless of the reason, it seems that Yu Li doesn't have any romantic feelings for him at the moment.
That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that he's getting old? In the past, he only needed to make a slight move to quickly ignite passion.
Could it be that Yu Li is playing hard to get with him?
However, Jiang Donglin did not do anything abrupt, after all, a seasoned player in the dating scene like him has a wealth of experience.
Feelings can be discussed, but you absolutely cannot act like a scoundrel first. Otherwise, if the girl turns around and sues you, it will really be a case of losing more than you gain.
This time, however, his return to China was unusually quick, and he met someone he found very compatible.
Because most of those fleeting romances were just for temporary pleasure.
However, Yu Li, who was clearly an outsider, unexpectedly found herself able to have a very good conversation with him, and it could be said that she gave him a feeling of spiritual resonance.
Since it was such a rare opportunity, Jiang Donglin didn't want to give up so easily.
Just as they were about to finish, Qi Chenyan called.
Yu Li's mood instantly became very pleasant, and her eyes curved into crescent moons with laughter, completely different from her polite smile just now.
"You just finished eating. No matter how busy you are at work, you can't forget to eat on time. I'll be keeping an eye on you."
