"You're so kind, Shen Shi, I miss you so much!" Lu Yuning looked at Shen Shi on the other side of the screen and touched his brow in the air.
"I miss you too." Shen Shi also tapped Lu Yuning's forehead in mid-air, following her movements.
"But my art exhibition this time was a huge success. I'm quite wealthy now, and I can support you even if you don't want to work." Lu Yuning became happy again when she talked about this.
Shen Shi was amused by her serious expression and chuckled softly. Lu Yuning, who was originally serious, was also embarrassed by his laughter.
Even with his current wealth, he could still spend money like water even without working.
Realizing she had made a foolish mistake, Lu Yuning, like a fierce little tiger, bluffed and said, "Chen Shi, if you laugh at me again, I'll get angry!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Shi stopped laughing. "Yes, I'm waiting for Ningning to take care of me." He finished speaking with a smile on his lips.
The two, who were in a long-distance relationship, chatted on video for more than an hour before reluctantly hanging up.
Since they were going to Jiangbei, Shen Shi specially brought Xiao Chen along, and also took his cousin Shen Yuanyang with him.
Shen Shi declined Qin Bochuan's suggestion to travel together and instead went to the airport with Xiao Chen and Shen Yuanyang.
They arrived at the airport just as the announcement came on: "Dear passengers, your flight is about to take off. Please board as soon as possible."
Jiangbei and City A are not far apart; the plane lands in about two hours.
Xiao Chen had already booked the most luxurious hotel in Jiangbei, and Shen Shi and his group drove there.
"This hotel is so shabby," Shen Yuanyang complained as soon as he got out of the car.
"This...is already the best..." Xiao Chen scratched his head awkwardly, "Jiangbei's development is relatively lagging behind, so how about..."
"Not bad, this is fine." Shen Shi raised his hand and tapped Shen Yuanyang on the head. "When you're traveling, why have so many demands?"
In fact, Shen Shi was right. The hotel that Xiao Chen found was indeed nice and had a good environment. However, for Shen Yuanyang, who was used to staying in presidential suites, it was inevitable that he would feel a little disappointed.
Seeing that Shen Shi had spoken, Shen Yuanyang naturally dared not have any objections and went upstairs with his luggage.
After a short rest, Shen Shi received a call from Qin Bochuan, "President Shen, have you arrived in Jiangbei? Would you like to have dinner together? I'll come pick you up."
Qin Bochuan's caring tone reached Shen Shi's ears through the receiver, causing him to frown deeply.
There's no need to be so deliberate when Chen Shi says "..."
"No need to trouble you, Mr. Qin. Just tell me the location," Shen Shi replied, pressing his temples.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Shi received a location sent by Qin Bochuan; it was a Northeastern Chinese restaurant called "Black Soil Iron Pot Stew".
On a sweltering summer day, Qin Bochuan treated his partner to a stew in an iron pot. Shen Shi found it unbelievable and checked again to make sure he wasn't mistaken.
With indescribable feelings, Shen Shi drove with Shen Yuanyang to "Black Soil Iron Pot Stew".
When Shen Shi typed those five large characters into the navigation, Shen Yuanyang couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother, your partner is too stingy!"
Shen Shi nodded in deep agreement.
Shen Yuanyang saw his agreement and comment, "This person is definitely a lunatic."
Chen nodded again in agreement.
In any case, the two arrived at "Black Soil Iron Pot Stew" twenty minutes later.
Shen Yuanyang clicked his tongue twice to express his dissatisfaction, while Shen Shi glanced around and thought to himself, "This store is quite big."
As soon as the two entered the store, a waiter greeted them, "Are you Mr. Shen? This way, please."
Shen Shi was wondering how the waiter could recognize him since this wasn't City A. Was he that famous?
However, upon seeing that there was no one else in the store except for them, Shen Shi immediately realized that they had booked the entire place!
Although booking out a restaurant is commonplace for Shen Shi, booking out the whole place for a hot pot stew is still a bit too much.
The waiter led the two to a private room and kindly opened the door for them.
After nodding his thanks, Chen Shi went into the private room, while Qin Bochuan brought Xu Wanwan, and Chen Chen was alone.
"We're a little late, please forgive us." After a polite greeting, Shen Shi led Shen Yuanyang to sit down.
"Mr. Shen, you're being too polite. We're all in the same boat now," Qin Bochuan said first, introducing, "This is Chen Chen, another partner in the project, and my college classmate."
Then he turned to Chen Chen and said, "This is the head of Shenshi Group, and also a partner of our resort project."
Looking at Shen Shi's familiar face, Chen Chen, who had been silent for a long time, raised his eyes and said, "I have long admired Mr. Shen's name. It's a pleasure to meet you."
His eyes were filled with indifference, and his voice was deep and resonant, as if it came from the ground, containing countless emotions.
Upon hearing this, Shen Shi nodded politely and said, "It's a pleasure to meet President Chen." He then glanced at Chen Chen and noticed that their eyes seemed somewhat similar.
Despite the simple greeting, the atmosphere between the two was inexplicably strange, with a faint spark flying between them.
After exchanging a few words, the two fell silent. Chen Chen stared at the cup in front of him without saying a word, his expression inscrutable.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkwardly tense, and even the usually lively Shen Yuanyang seemed a little reserved in the face of this situation.
Only Shen Shi's ability to accept things was relatively good; he leisurely sipped the tea in front of him.
It seemed impossible for the two partners to have a pleasant conversation, so Qin Bochuan got down to business.
While eating, the group discussed the project's implementation plan. After the meal, Chen Shi came to a conclusion—you have to admit, this stew in an iron pot is quite delicious.
