Chapter 171 Date
The atmosphere was quiet and awkward for a moment, until Jiang Liangbo finally broke the silence with a playful tone: "Come on, Old Lu! Ziming and I are still discussing how to fight for our future, and you're actually thinking of abandoning us?"
Jiang Liangbo's cheerful words made the atmosphere lively again, and others also followed suit to change the subject. Lu Hongzhe had a headache. He was obviously telling the truth, but no one seemed to believe him.
"If you ask me, Lili has good vision. Once this early childhood education center opens and becomes famous, we can also benefit from it." Jiang Liangbo said with a smile. Jiang Lili's excellence is unquestionable. At this moment, he was actually a little jealous of Lao Lu. He was so lucky!
"You haven't even started your blind date yet, but you're already thinking about sending your child to an early childhood education center? Aren't you thinking too early?" Lu Ziming asked.
"This is called advance planning, do you understand?" Jiang Liangbo said with a look of dissatisfaction.
Cheng Yuntian smiled and interrupted, "Don't worry, given our relationship, I'll definitely give you a discount."
"See? This is the benefit of planning ahead." Jiang Liangbo looked at Lu Ziming with great pride. Lu Ziming snorted. The argument between the two made everyone laugh. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Jiang Lili had originally thought that the previous incident was completely over, but she didn't expect Lu Hongzhe to emphasize again on the way back: "Lili, everything I said just now is true."
"What?" Jiang Lili didn't react to what he meant for a moment.
"If someone has to sacrifice their career in the future, that person can be me." Lu Hongzhe said solemnly.
Jiang Lili obviously didn't expect that he would emphasize this matter, so she chuckled: "Then why don't we not let this happen?" Although she said so, his deliberate emphasis still made her feel happy. Although she would not allow herself to fall into that situation, it was at this time that Jiang Lili discovered that she also had the potential to be a love-brained person and was so easily satisfied.
"You're right, we try to avoid this situation." Thinking that she might have also planned their future, the corners of his lips slowly rose.
"By the way, regarding the promotion of Youbei, I think we should make a promotional leaflet. However, it would be better to wait until the decoration is completed and take the most realistic pictures for promotion." Jiang Lili's words seemed to be spoken to him, but also seemed to be talking to herself. At the end, she nodded affirmatively. The person driving next to her curled the corners of his lips. She probably didn't know that what he liked most was her serious look.
"Then let's wait until the decoration is completed before shooting the promotional page. Is there a suitable company to cooperate with?" Lu Hongzhe asked casually.
"Let's go with the same advertising company as before. We've been cooperating very happily." The company Jiang Lili mentioned was the one that shot the first advertisement for Tongqu Players. Over the years, Tongqu has also been cooperating with them for new advertisements in its later years. At least both parties are satisfied with it now. By the way, this company was also recommended by him before.
"Okay, I'll introduce you to other families if necessary." Lu Hongzhe nodded.
Arriving at Huajianlouji, Jiang Lili unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to open the car door when she heard a voice from the side: "I'll call you later."
She paused in pulling the car door, then whispered, "Okay."
"By the way, do your roommates have any food taboos?" Lu Hongzhe asked seriously.
"I haven't found any food taboos among them yet. Even if they do, hotpot can avoid them." Jiang Lili said with a smile. However, it's a good feeling to have friends around you valued.
"Okay." Lu Hongzhe said and watched her leave. He waited until her back completely disappeared from his sight before getting out of the car. At this time, the two people in the car behind also got out. Jiang Liangbo asked directly, "Old Lu, why don't you take Lili upstairs?"
He learned a lot of things when he went home for a blind date during the Spring Festival. This kind of thing is called inconsiderateness, which is a big deduction. He couldn't help but worry about him.
"She doesn't want her family to know about this for the time being. You'd better keep your mouth shut when you see Aunt Jiang." Lu Hongzhe reminded.
"You mean you haven't gotten past your parents yet? It seems the revolution hasn't succeeded yet, comrades, you still need to work hard!" Jiang Liangbo said as he patted his shoulder, feeling like he had turned the tables.
Lu Hongzhe was too lazy to pay attention to its gloating, and just reminded again: "Except for Aunt Jiang, don't tell anyone else in the Jiang family."
"I understand. Let's go back first." Lu Ziming nodded to show his understanding.
The three of them quickly walked in different directions. Lu Hongzhe glanced at the direction she had just left, then strode over as well. He thought, there was still a lot of time, he wasn't in a rush, and besides, Lili was still in school, and if the Jiang family knew about it, they might object. Thinking of this, Lu Hongzhe rubbed his brows, never expecting that one day he would become so "despicable".
Jiang Lili didn't know that he was worried about these problems. Although they started dating, the way they got along had not changed much from before, so she adapted quickly and could even continue to look at Youbei's design drawings after replying to his message.
After all, she had worked with the decoration team so many times that they were old acquaintances, so communication was very convenient. They quickly understood the effect she wanted. After confirming the decoration, she began to prepare for the start of school.
Before school started, she had a dinner with her roommates. Before the dinner, she met with them. Dong Qiuyun and the others all smiled and asked, "So your boyfriend is that senior neighbor from before?"
"It's her." Jiang Lili nodded and admitted generously.
"See, I told you something was wrong, but you still didn't admit it." Dong Qiuyun snorted.
"Yes, yes, our Miss Dong has a keen eye." Jiang Lili agreed with a smile.
"Then we can charge him a lot of money when we have dinner later, so don't feel sorry for him." Li Qian took over the conversation with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm on your side." Jiang Lili responded with a smile.
This was the first time Lu Hongzhe had done such a thing. When he was in school, a roommate in the dormitory was in love. In addition to inviting his girlfriend to dinner in the dormitory, the two dormitories would occasionally eat together. He was not sure whether to bring the other two people. After hesitating, he decided to ask Jiang Lili's opinion.
Jiang Lili didn't care, so she looked at them and asked, "Would you mind if he brought two classmates with him?"
"Let's not do it." Dong Qiuyun felt that this was a dinner party for them to meet her boyfriend, and it would be weird to bring someone else. She knew that Zhang Shiyu from the dormitory next door had a boyfriend, and the two dormitories making an appointment to have dinner together was no different from a social gathering. Anyway, she didn't like this feeling.
"Okay, then I'll tell him." Jiang Lili nodded.
"Okay, then don't take them with you. Shall I come to pick you up now?" Lu Hongzhe answered readily.
"No need. There's no room anyway. We can just take a taxi." Jiang Lili rejected his suggestion to come over.

When they arrived at the restaurant reserved by Lu Hongzhe, he was already waiting for them at the door. When he saw her get out of the car, he strode over. Jiang Lili caught a glimpse of her roommates' teasing eyes, smiled and introduced them, "This is Lu Hongzhe, my boyfriend." Then she turned around and introduced them to Lu Hongzhe.
In fact, this was not their first meeting. After all, they had met Lu Hong several times before in school. But today he looked much more formal, which also showed that he valued Lili. Dong Qiuyun was quite happy about it.
Being with her roommates, Jiang Lili felt much more relaxed. When she heard them talk about her various deeds in school, the smile on Lu Hongzhe's lips fell. He even regretted for a moment that he had graduated too early.
"Senior Lu, Lili is the most beautiful girl in our department. You must treat her well, otherwise we will not let you go." Li Qian said fiercely.
"Of course." Lu Hongzhe was serious.
Apart from this little episode which was a bit serious, everyone was very relaxed the rest of the time. Lu Hongzhe always had a faint smile on his lips. She was willing to integrate herself into his life and friends, which was also a kind of recognition of him.
After dinner, Dong Qiuyun and the others felt they were no longer the third wheel, and soon it was just the two of them. Lu Hongzhe glanced at his wrist and asked her, "How about we go to the movies?"
Watching a movie seemed to be a must-do for young couples on a date, so Jiang Lili didn't refuse. Actually, this was her first time watching a movie since coming to Beijing, and so did the person next to her. Fortunately, he had done his homework in advance. However, he didn't accept Jiang Lili's suggestion for the movie selection, but instead asked for her opinion: "Which one do you want to see?"
Jiang Lili quickly chose an art film. She didn't have many requirements for the plot. She chose this film entirely because of the actors' looks.
Lu Hongzhe bought the ticket, but there was still more than half an hour before the entrance, so he suggested: "How about taking a walk around the neighborhood to help digest the food?"
"Okay." Jiang Lili did eat well today and her digestion was pretty good.
Normally, half an hour seemed like a long time, but today, she had only taken a short walk outside, and more than half of that time had already passed. She shook their hand, and only when he looked at her did she gently ask, "Are you going in?"
"Okay." When Lu Hongzhe saw her looking up at him, his eyes unconsciously fell on her rosy lips. A voice in his body was clamoring to touch her, but he quickly looked away because he was afraid that he would scare her.
Perhaps because school was about to start, many couples were walking around the cinema holding hands, and some were even bold enough to kiss in the dark. Jiang Lili accidentally caught a glimpse of such a couple, and she quickly looked away. It seemed that it was right to hurry back to the cinema.
Seeing her suddenly quicken her pace and become anxious, Lu Hongzhe couldn't help but frown, thinking that she was afraid of being late, so he said softly: "What's wrong? There's still plenty of time, no need to walk so fast."
"No, I just feel a little cold." Jiang Lili couldn't help but look in the direction she was just in when she spoke. Seeing this, Lu Hongzhe, who had been paying attention to her, also looked over there, and his eyes darkened.
