Chen Yao smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."
Xu Zhi added, "If you finish there first, I'll be there soon too. Just go to the car and wait for me."
Chen Yao: "Okay, if you finish first, and I don't reply to your message for ten minutes, you don't have to wait for me. I will call a designated driver later."
If she really had to wait, she would feel embarrassed to keep people waiting too long.
But Xu Zhi didn't agree. He said, "No need. I'll wait no matter how late it is." Anyway, it wasn't the first time he had waited.
Then, as if to explain, he quickly added, "It's mainly because you're alone and you've been drinking, so I'm not very reassured."
Chen Yao was startled and was about to say...
At this moment, the system suddenly reminded her, "Host, Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming have finished smoking and talking over there, and seem to be preparing to go back to the private room. If you don't want Xu Zhi to run into them head-on, it's almost time to let him go back."
Chen Yao's heart suddenly tightened, and she quickly said to Xu Zhi, "Okay, then it's a deal. No matter who finishes first, we'll both wait for the other."
Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Well, okay."
Chen Yao quickly glanced at the other corridor on the other side of the private room. When she didn't see Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming, she felt less nervous. Knowing that it would probably take them a while to get over, she spoke at a normal pace, "I've been out for quite some time, so I should get back to work. You should go back and continue eating too. We'll see you later."
Xu Zhiduo looked at her a few times and said, "Okay."
Chen Yao smiled: "Then I'll leave first."
Xu Zhi did not forget to remind him: "Well, remember to drink less. If you really can't avoid it, just pour it out quietly."
Chen Yao couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, I understand."
Then she left first, and Xu Zhi stood there watching her walk back to the private room.
She walked over the rockery and vegetation, and when she reached the entrance of the private room, she suddenly stopped. Knowing that he was still there watching her, she turned around and looked at him from a distance, then smiled and waved at him, indicating that he should go back early, before continuing to walk inside.
Xu Zhi smiled and turned around and walked back only after he could no longer see her back.
He had only taken a few steps when Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming came to the entrance of the private room from another corridor. Then, Zhao Ming looked in his direction a few times as if he had sensed something, and then narrowed his eyes in some confusion.
"What's wrong with you? Did you see someone familiar?" Zhou Cheng saw him suddenly stop and look to the other side, so he followed his gaze and asked.
But Zhao Ming just adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Nothing, let's go."
…
After Xu Zhi returned to the private room, part of the dishes they ordered had already been served. Zhu Xu asked him if he had finished his call.
Xu Zhi: "Yeah, it's over."
Zhu Xu smiled and sighed, "You're busy too. It's not easy to deal with work during the time it takes to eat. Come, brother, let me toast you."
Xu Zhi poured himself a cup of tea and raised it to him: "I'll drink tea instead of wine. I won't drink alcohol today."
Zhu Xu advised: "This wine is not strong, just a little bit will soothe you."
Xu Zhi refused: "I can't drink. I have something to do tonight."
Zhu Xu smiled mysteriously: "Are you going to continue the party? With that buddy who's also here?"
It has to be said that the gossip king's sensitivity to gossip is often quick and accurate.
…
Chen Yao's conversation ended early. In fact, after achieving their goal, Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming didn't have much energy to talk to her anymore.
Naturally, she would be happy to end it early.
When leaving, Zhou Cheng politely asked her if she needed a ride, but Chen Yao refused, saying that she drove here.
Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming didn't say anything more and separated from her in the hall.
Chen Yao went to the parking lot and sat in her car to rest. After she saw Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming's car leave the villa, she sent a message to Xu Zhi, saying that she was waiting for him in the car.
Xu Zhi replied quickly, saying that he would be there in about ten minutes.
After Chen Yao sent a nodding rabbit emoticon, she put down her phone, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes to rest.
…
In the private room.
Zhu Xu looked at Xu Zhi, who suddenly looked serious and asked him to get to the point. He was a little confused. "What's wrong? Are you busy? No, what do you mean? What am I saying that is not the point?"
Xu Zhi was silent, and suddenly he had the urge to just be an online friend with him.
Zhu Xu took the initiative to admit defeat: "Okay, I know you're anxious, I promise to only talk about the key points..."
Although they had made a sudden appointment to meet today, they actually had some serious business to discuss.
Zhu Xu likes to speak slowly. Once he starts talking, he will talk nonstop and sometimes go off topic. Even when talking about serious matters, he will go off topic from time to time. Some impatient people will be driven crazy by talking to him.
But Xu Zhi has always been able to understand this and rarely urged him. The main reason was that Xu Zhi knew that this habit of his was due to his job. When collecting some hard-to-capture information, he needed to disguise himself. In addition, he had to keep his words three parts true and seven parts false without being too hypocritical, so he often needed to fill in some nonsense.
Over time, it became a habit. This ensured that his quick mouth, which was already loose, would not leak any secrets, and also gave his brain some time to react and think.
It was precisely because Xu Zhi understood him that he usually didn't push him too much, but today was an exception.
He didn't want Chen Yao to wait for him too long.
Zhu Xu was not stupid. After all, today was the first time Xu Zhi urged him so directly, so there must be something going on. So he did not waste any more of Xu Zhi's time. Besides, they had already eaten for an hour, which was not a short time.
