Chapter 240
Jiang Qiao smiled and said nothing more.
The sky was dark and the rain was heavy. The view ahead was a little blurry. To ensure safety, we drove very slowly. The ten-minute drive took half an hour.
Half an hour later, the car slowly stopped. Jiang Qiao subconsciously looked up and saw the luxurious and low-key gold-plated sign with the three characters "Yulongting" written on it.
Yulongting, a restaurant as famous as Xiaobailou, focuses on comfort and privacy. The price is also comparable. You can't get in just by having money.
Jiang Qiao was a little surprised. This Director Li was more capable than she thought. After all, as the general manager of mimniu, his abilities and connections were naturally unquestionable.
A waiter was waiting by the car with an umbrella. Li Lei suddenly received a call. After hanging up, she said apologetically, "Xiao Qiao, I'm so sorry. Something urgent happened. Please go in first and I'll take care of something."
Seeing her like this, Jiang Qiao immediately said, "It's okay. It's more important to deal with official business. If you have something to do, go first. We can make an appointment another day."
Jiang Qiao was a little hesitant about this dinner. Director Li was too enthusiastic, and sometimes his gazes always made her feel uncomfortable.
When Jiang Qiao said this, Li Lei's smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal: "Since you are here, how can I let you go back with an empty stomach? Anyway, I have reserved a table and paid in advance, and the dishes should be ready. There is no refund if you don't eat."
As Jiang Qiao looked at him uncertainly, she said, "Xiao Qiao, go eat first. I'll come find you after I finish my work."
“No, I…”
"I can't take you there. It's not convenient for you to take a taxi. It will take time for your assistant to pick you up. Why don't you eat first?" Li Lei interrupted her and said sincerely, "Xiao Qiao, please don't be polite to me, okay?"
Li Lei deliberately moved closer when she spoke. Jiang Qiao was stunned for a few seconds when he met her gentle gaze. He subconsciously stepped back and leaned against the back of the car.
That familiar feeling of discomfort came back.
Jiang Qiao wondered if it was her illusion, why did she always feel that Director Li was weird.
At this point, if she refused again, it would seem that she was too aloof and didn't know how to deal with things. Jiang Qiao secretly sighed and had to agree: "Then next time, I will ask Director Li."
Looking at the girl's sincere and bright eyes, Li Lei's eyes quickly flashed with an unknown emotion, but her face was still full of smiles: "Okay."
After getting off the car, she immediately sent a message to Julie, who was stuck in traffic and said she didn't know when she would arrive.
Jiang Qiao sighed. This was such a coincidence. She had to eat. She sent the address and told Julie to drive slowly and not to rush. Then she put the phone back in her coat pocket.
Led by the waiter, Jiang Qiao entered the Yulong Courtyard and his back could no longer be seen. Li Lei sent a message to the boss before starting the car and leaving.
"Miss Jiang, please follow me." The waiter led the way and explained, "Miss Li has booked a private room on the third floor. Usually, there are not many guests booking private rooms on the third floor, so it is more private than the first and second floors."
After the waiter finished introducing, he stopped in front of a door, turned sideways and gently opened the door: "Your box is here, Miss Jiang, please come in."
Jiang Qiao nodded politely: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The box is very big and has a curved shape. When you enter, you can see a whole floor-to-ceiling window. Normally, the night view should be good, but it is a rainy day today.
Walking around the LCD glass flower stand, you will see a rectangular dining table with food already laid out for two people. In the middle, a bouquet of blue roses is shining.
There was a white piano next to it. In front of the piano, a man in a light grey casual suit leaned sideways, his slender index finger fell on the keys, and a melodious and gentle piano music sounded. Jiang Qiao was stunned.
The man sat in the shadows, still facing sideways to her. Jiang Qiao couldn't see his appearance clearly, but she felt that his figure was very familiar and his temperament was also very good.
Tsk tsk tsk,
Jiang Qiao couldn't help but sigh, it's worthy of being a top restaurant, and it also provides special music for each box, which makes the experience full.
Unfortunately, she didn't have much musical talent. Just when she was about to say she didn't want to play anymore, the music stopped and the seat made a slight sound as it rubbed against the floor.
In my sight, the man stood up and raised his face slightly. The dim light illuminated the man's face.
"Ms. Jiang, long time no see." The man's voice was filled with a faint smile.
Under the light, the lines on the man's face seemed somewhat soft, and his dark and calm eyes looked like an ocean with no end in sight from afar.
Jiang Qiao was stunned, and was in a trance for a moment, but soon came to his senses. He didn't quite understand what was going on, and frowned: "Why is Mr. Liu here?"
Li Lei asked her out for dinner, but when they got there she suddenly said she had something to do and asked her to come in by herself, but she saw Liu Lin.
Jiang Qiao quickly sorted out what happened, his face a little cold: "You know Director Li."
Not a question.
"Ms. Jiang, you don't have to treat me like a monster..." Liu Lin didn't answer her, but sighed imperceptibly: "I have absolutely no ill will towards you."
"I have no ill intentions. Do you need help from others to invite me here?" Jiang Qiao said with a hint of sarcasm: "Boss Liu, this doesn't really fit your image as a gentleman."
"So in Miss Jiang's eyes, I am a gentleman?"
The man's tone was quite unexpected, and Jiang Qiao frowned even more tightly: "Not now."
"That's really a pity..." Liu Lin sighed appropriately.
The man's willing attitude made Jiang Qiao not angry at all. Apart from the anger of being deceived at the beginning, she had calmed down now. She said in a cold tone, "Boss Liu went to so much trouble, what does he want to do?"
"Don't say you want to pursue me, I already have a boyfriend." Jiang Qiao thought of something after saying this, raised his eyebrows, and said with some malice: "Unless Mr. Liu likes to be a mistress."
Liu Lin was not angry at the slightly insulting ridicule, and his expression did not even change. He still smiled and said, "Miss Jiang hasn't eaten yet. Sit down and talk while you eat."
The man said, and he gracefully pulled out the bench and motioned for her to sit down, very gentlemanly.
With a calm attitude, Jiang Qiao looked a little annoyed and wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but when she thought about the matter in Haicheng, Liu Lin really helped her.
It was a bit rude for her to just leave like that, and Jiang Qiao also wanted to know what Liu Lin wanted to say.
The man still kept pulling the bench away, with a faint smile on his face.
Jiang Qiao took a glance, walked past the man without hesitation, pulled out a bench and sat down: "Everyone has hands, so don't bother Mr. Liu."
The girl walked past him, pulled out the bench and sat down, all in one go.
Liu Lin paused for a moment, then reacted and chuckled, "Okay."
