Chapter 216 Eating Hot Pot
Chapter 217 Eating Hot Pot
"Yes, Jennifer, the daughter of the largest oil president in the United States, is young, beautiful and rich. She is still single until recently. A while ago, there was a rumor that she had a man. When everyone was guessing who that man was, Premier Wen suddenly appeared out of nowhere and returned directly to China from overseas. I would never believe that they have no relationship..."
"Yes, I heard that he was just a poor student with no power or influence. He went abroad for two years and suddenly came in as the vice president of the Asia-Pacific region. Who would believe him if he said he had no one behind him?"
A woman said with some suspicion, "But he didn't look like someone's kept gigolo just now, and he brought a female companion with him..."
"Tsk, what's wrong with bringing a female companion? Nowadays, which man doesn't have a few mistresses outside?"
Fang Qing couldn't listen to what was said next, so she immediately picked up her skirt and walked out.
The group of young ladies outside were obviously stunned when they saw Fang Qing suddenly open the door and walk out. They didn't expect that the gossip they had behind their backs was heard by the person who was talking about them. They were immediately embarrassed and found excuses to leave quickly.
Fang Qing looked at their fleeing backs and gritted his teeth angrily, "A bunch of gossips."
But then he remembered the conversation between the women just now, and he also had a little doubt in his heart. After all, Wen Ning was reported missing before, and he should still be studying abroad, so why did he suddenly return to China in this capacity? Moreover, no matter how well he did abroad, it was indeed very suspicious that he could sit in this position in less than two years.
"What on earth did you do abroad?"
But even though the two of them couldn't be as close as before, Fang Qing still trusted Wen Ning's character. It was nonsense to say that he was kept by someone, but that woman named Jennifer always lingered in Fang Qing's mind.
Fang Qing closed his eyes and sighed, "What are you thinking about? That's his own business. Which woman he is with has nothing to do with you, Fang Qing."
After calming down, Fang Qing lifted her skirt and slowly walked back to the venue.
Things went smoothly after that. With the help of Wen Ning, Fang Qing got to know several leaders in the construction industry, and the subsequent work became much easier.
The banquet ended successfully. Wen Ning called the driver to take Fang Qing home, but she stubbornly stood outside the car door.
"Thank you, President Wen, for your invitation, but I have already made an appointment with a driver, so I won't trouble you." After saying that, she slammed the car door, lifted her skirt and walked quickly towards the taxi in the distance.
The driver glanced awkwardly at Wen Ning behind him. Although he was smiling, there was no warmth in his eyes.
"Boss Wen, this..."
Through the car window, Wen Ning watched Fang Qing get into the car and drive out of the parking lot. He didn't look away until the car disappeared into the distance. He leaned back in his seat and let out a long sigh, "Let's go."
The driver nodded and turned back to the villa.
Fang Qing returned home and first reported to Qin Xue about the progress of tonight's party and his own gains. Then he took a hot shower. As soon as he came out, he saw a message pop up on his mobile phone: Are you home?
Looking at the unfamiliar number, he knew it was Wen Ning without a second thought. Just as he was about to call him back, Fang Qing thought of the gossip he had heard tonight. After hesitating for a while, he decided that it would be better not to have too much contact with him, so he deleted the message, turned off his phone, and went to sleep.
Thinking back on Fang Qing's performance tonight, although she was somewhat resistant to him at first, she was not so cold. This change also occurred after he went to the bathroom. Could it be that someone said something to her?
Wen Ning recalled the curiosity, suspicion, and contempt in the eyes of many people when they looked at him tonight, and couldn't help but sneer and shake his head.
When he first helped Jennifer solve the problem in the United States, those people looked at him in the same way.
If it weren't for the fact that the solution he proposed later effectively solved the company's problems and helped the company's performance reach a new high, he would have been spitted to death by those people.
Thinking of this, Wen Ning's eyes were full of coldness.
This world does not have kindness towards anyone. If you want to walk your own path, you have to be faster and more ruthless than others.
He immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number, "It's me, help me with something..."
The next day, Fang Qing went to work refreshed. When he saw the bouquet of flowers at the door, he glanced at it and threw it to the front desk.
Then I sat down in the office and started today's work. It was not until the sun set that I finally realized that I had been hungry all day.
"What should we eat tonight..."
Brother Fang Ming moved to the club a few days ago because there were always cars that needed repair and modification. The dormitory of the club was also very clean, and Fang Ming didn't want to stay with his sister all the time, so he rolled up his bed and moved in directly.
Now, Fang Qing lives alone and only cooks a meal occasionally when he feels like it. The rest of the time he either just makes do with a bite or doesn't eat at all.
I had finished all my work for the day and had nothing to do. I was resting my chin on my hand and wondering what to eat in the evening when suddenly a text message popped up on my phone.
"Our rotating hot pot shop is newly opened and offering a big sale. If you spend 58 yuan or more, you will get a 20 yuan discount. Drinks and beverages are free to drink. Welcome all new and old customers!"
When Fang Qing opened the text message, he found that it was actually a multimedia message. In addition to the store’s location information and dish features, it also contained several photos.
Looking at the juicy green vegetables and tender red meat slices, Fang Qing's stomach growled. With only a few minutes left before the end of get off work, she couldn't bear it any longer and grabbed her bag and left the company.
Following the address, Fang Qing quickly found the hot pot restaurant. Looking at Capital University not far away, Fang Qing was a little dazed.
This used to be a small restaurant. I almost never came back after graduation. I didn’t expect that after not seeing it for the past two years, this place has changed a lot.
The waiter at the door saw Fang Qing standing at the door and warmly invited her in to taste.
"Come in and try it, beauty! Our newly opened rotating hot pot is clean and convenient. We have everything you want to eat. We have a discount today. I guarantee you will be full and eat well..."
Fang Qing was somewhat amused by the waiter's enthusiasm. Smelling the aroma coming from the store, he strode in without hesitation.
There were two revolving food delivery counters in the store, which were already occupied by many people. Fang Qing looked around and finally found a quiet place in the corner.
As soon as Fang Qing walked over and sat down, a bunch of people rushed into the store and the seat was soon full.
Because Fang Qing's place was remote, no one paid attention to it for a while, and it was quite quiet and relaxing.
Fang Qing took off her coat and mixed a bowl of sauce. She turned around and saw the waiter coming over to discuss, "Madam, there is a gentleman waiting outside the door for a long time. There is no room here. Can he sit next to you?"
Fang Qing didn't care, it was just a meal, "Okay, I'll put away the clothes."
But when the person came over and sat next to her, Fang Qing was stunned when she saw the other person's face.
"Wen Ning? Why is it you?"
