Chapter 348 Let the President of Zhou Corporation Eat Leftover Food
Xu Ge smiled and nodded. "You do look a lot like a good friend of mine, but she's in Country M. If I hadn't spoken to her on the phone today, I would have thought she'd come to Hong Kong City."
Ding Lili touched her hair as if a little embarrassed when she heard this.
"The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. There are actually quite a lot of people who look alike."
Xu Ge stared at her for a while before looking at Xu Hongsheng, with an apologetic look on his face. "I'm sorry, Professor Xu, for interrupting your master-disciple meal. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Ding Lili must have immediately declined, "Ah? No need, Mrs. Zhou."
Xu Ge smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll go over first. You guys take your time eating."
After saying that, she nodded slightly to Xu Hongsheng and turned away.
Ding Lili slowly retracted her gaze and looked at Xu Hongsheng, whispering, "Professor Xu, Mrs. Zhou should be doing this for your sake, but do we really want them to treat us to this meal?"
Seeing her like this, Xu Hongsheng had no choice but to comfort her in a low voice: "It's okay, this is Zhou's property, just invite her, it's not a big deal."
"Well, then you must let me treat you next time, otherwise I'll be so embarrassed..."
Xu Hongsheng's cell phone kept vibrating in his pocket, but he remained indifferent. He only spoke after glancing at the time.
"Have you finished eating?"
Ding Lili nodded and said, "Of course I'm done eating."
"Shall we go then?"
"Yeah, okay."
Xu Ge and Zhou Chen watched the two of them leave together before they retracted their gaze, which then fell on Zhou Chen's face.
"What did you order?"
"Your favorite food."
Xu Ge glanced at the electronic menu on the dining table. Sure enough, it was all her favorite dishes, but...
"It's true that I love to eat it, but didn't you order too much? There are only two of us, can we finish it? You can't waste money like this."
As she spoke, she began to pick out dishes that could be deleted, but after looking up and down twice, she was reluctant to delete any of them.
Zhou Chen couldn't help but chuckle at this, but in return he received an angry and blaming look from Xu Ge.
"It's all your fault. You ordered all my must-have dishes. I'd be heartbroken if I didn't want any of them!"
As she said this, she was about to delete two of them at random, but Zhou Chen held her hand.
"Pack up what you can't finish and eat it tomorrow morning."
Xu Ge stopped when he heard this and looked at him in surprise, "You want to eat leftovers with me?"
After saying that, she even moved closer to him at the table, "Do you really want to eat the leftovers?"
"Can't eat leftovers?"
“You can eat it, but will you eat it?”
"If you can eat it, I can eat it, so don't delete it, keep it."
Xu Ge had no choice but to give up after hearing that. "When I was in the welfare home, we weren't allowed to leave any food. The headmistress said we should only pack as much as each person could eat and not waste anything. If each of us wastes a little, the food we save would probably be enough for several people. Also, when I was in Country M, I often saw people wandering the streets. Those people might not even have a full meal a day, so wasting food is not a good idea. We should not order so much in the future. If we can't finish it all, we can just come back for more next time."
"Besides, I can't bear to let you eat leftovers with me. I feel very stressed to let the dignified CEO of Zhou Corporation eat leftovers from the previous night."
Zhou Chen just curled his lips when he heard this, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xu Ge looked at him with a satisfied smile, blinked, and said, "I think the company cafeteria is really good. I suddenly want to eat. I'll come to you at noon tomorrow. Let's go to the cafeteria together, okay?"
Zhou Chen looked up at her and said, "You have the final say."
Only then did Xu Ge pick up the water cup and take a sip with satisfaction.
Since Ding Lili drove here by herself, Xu Hongsheng had no excuse to send her back.
Ding Lili was not too surprised when she saw Xu Hongsheng's Land Rover Range Rover. Although Xu Hongsheng's salary was not high, he owned many educational institutions, which were very famous and indeed very effective.
Basically, the academic performance of students sent to his educational institution will improve. Of course, the fees are also very expensive.
So Xu Hongsheng is not just a professor at the University of Hong Kong.
He has money, a career and property.
However, Ding Lili drove here on purpose, so she was a little surprised after taking a look at his car.
"Professor Xu, your car is the same as my dad's. It doesn't seem cheap."
Xu Hongsheng just smiled when he heard this, "Really? That's a coincidence."
Ding Lili paused and then asked, "Um, are university professors paid well?"
Xu Hongsheng raised an eyebrow and looked at her, seeing her curious expression, "What do you think?"
Ding Lili scratched her forehead. "I don't know, but it doesn't seem too high. My parents seem to really want me to be a teacher in the future, saying it's a stable option. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let me apply to the Normal University. But I don't really want to teach in elementary school. Junior high school or high school is fine. So I plan to take the postgraduate entrance exam and then get a doctorate."
"Teachers are well paid, but the salary isn't high. But with your family's financial situation, you don't need to worry about income, so it's fine."
Ding Lili nodded in understanding, but still pointed at his car.
"Then your car..."
Xu Hongsheng smiled and said, "I have my own business, and my teacher's salary is not enough for me to buy this car."
Hearing this, Ding Lili turned her head to look at her Mercedes-Benz, which cost over 300,000 yuan.
“I can’t afford my car either, luckily I have good parents, it’s getting late
It's already nine o'clock, Professor Xu, so I'm going home now. Please drive carefully. Bye."
Xu Hongsheng looked at her for a few seconds and nodded, "Okay, drive carefully on the road and don't play with your phone."
Ding Lili had already opened the car door and turned back to nod at him, saying, "I don't dare. I'm not a very good driver. I'm leaving now. Bye, Professor Xu."
Xu Hongsheng watched Ding Lili get into the car, then looked around inside for a while before starting the car. From her posture and expression, as well as the way she looked around while reversing, he knew she was a novice.
Ding Lili turned her head to look out the car window and gave him a bright smile. She waved at him before driving away.
Xu Hongsheng chuckled softly after watching her car disappear, but he wasn't too surprised.
After all, the few times I saw Ding Lili, she was wearing and carrying some niche brands.
For a college student, to be able to achieve this, he must come from a good family. Moreover, his family bought him a house and a car as soon as he was a freshman. Now it seems that using money is not feasible.
Xu Hongsheng lit a cigarette in annoyance.
He hates people and things that are too troublesome.
As long as he is willing, there is never a shortage of female students around him who will take the initiative to show their affection to him.
Even if it's just one night, love is never lacking.
He could give up Ding Lili and look for a new candidate.
But he had to admit that this girl was attractive enough to make him temporarily lose interest in other female students.
She had flirted with him several times tonight, intentionally or unintentionally. He threw away his cigarette butt and stomped it out, then took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Is the child asleep? Take a bath and wait for me to come over."
Xu Ge smiled and nodded. "You do look a lot like a good friend of mine, but she's in Country M. If I hadn't spoken to her on the phone today, I would have thought she'd come to Hong Kong City."
Ding Lili touched her hair as if a little embarrassed when she heard this.
