When Ling Ju heard the noise, she immediately stood up and opened the door. Before the others could react, they saw the waitress and Yan Jintang appear at the door.
Yan Jintang, dressed in a black suit with his work badge on, and his hair combed very neatly, looked very elite.
Every time she saw Yan Jintang, she would wonder what kind of girl could win Yan Jintang's heart?
It seems like he came here after work?
"What a coincidence, Fifth Brother! I didn't expect to run into you right after I arrived."
Yan Jintang smiled and looked around at the people in the room. "I didn't expect you to have such sharp ears. I haven't even knocked on the door yet."
"Come in first."
Yan Jintang came in and greeted everyone. Song Lingchen, who was in Song Qi's arms, opened his arms and asked him to hold him. Yan Jintang brought the child over and said, "Oh, this little guy is quite heavy now. He has grown a lot in this period of time."
"Yes, the child can eat and sleep now."
"As you wish."
Ling Ju laughed twice.
"Have you eaten yet? If not, how about some more food?"
Yan Jintang and Song Wei glanced at each other casually, then nodded, "Okay, I haven't eaten yet. Let's add some sweet and sour pork ribs and stir-fried spinach."
The waitress closed the door and left. "Okay, Mr. Yan, I'm outside. Call me if you need anything."
Yan Jintang nodded, then sat down next to Song Wei.
Ever since Yan Jintang entered the door, Xu Zhengwen's eyes fell on Yan Jintang.
Yan Jintang was neither arrogant nor impatient, neither humble nor overbearing. Apart from greeting Xu Zhengwen when he entered the door, he only spoke a few words to Song Wei and Ling Yong afterwards, and did not take Xu Zhengwen seriously the whole time.
This made Xu Zhengwen feel a little uncomfortable.
He was the center of attention in the room.
He has the highest position, is the oldest, and thinks he has the most experience.
But things became a little different after Yan Jintang came in.
Yan Jintang is only one year younger than him. Yan Jintang is 32 and he is 33. Their positions are similar, both of them are civil servants.
Although the systems are different, a logistics department and a security bureau are both important units.
The reason he could still find some sense of presence in front of the Song family and the Ling family was because he felt deep down that martial arts were inferior to civil service. Even in ancient times, civil officials, represented by censors, had a higher status.
But when Yan Jintang arrived, he felt that his momentum was suppressed.
Feeling a little uncomfortable.
Although he was not familiar with the Yan family, he knew very well what his father had done.
But I still feel uncomfortable.
He picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank it all.
They found Yan Jintang and Ling Ju chatting happily, and even the child liked Yan Jintang very much. The child would not lie, and he could see that the relationship between the Yan family and Ling Ju was better than they imagined.
Especially after Yan Jintang came, he could feel that Ling Ju's nerves were much more relaxed.
I suddenly find it hard to swallow this meal.
The dishes added by Yan Jintang came up very quickly. Xu Zhengwen didn’t eat much and felt like not wanting to eat anymore. Although he really wanted to stay a little longer to see Ling Ju, he decided to find another time.
He checked his watch and pretended to be anxious. "Oh, it's already two o'clock. I have a meeting at two-thirty. I might have to leave first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else at the table looked at him. Song Wei took the initiative to speak, "It's really late. The logistics department is not close to here. Brother Xu, do you still need to go back and change clothes?"
Xu Zhengwen nodded, "Yeah, take your time eating, I'm leaving now, we can get together again some other time if we have the chance."
Several people nodded, and Song Wei took the initiative to stand up and send Xu Zhengwen downstairs. When leaving, Ling Ju said goodbye to him sweetly. When Xu Zhengwen saw her smiling at him, he felt less upset.
Next time he'll try to get some time alone.
Song Wei sent him to the door and went back. Xu Zhengwen sat in the car and thought about it, then went back to pay the bill. He felt that this was also a way to save face.
But unexpectedly, the waiter at the front desk said that Yan Jintang had treated him to the meal today and he didn't need to pay the bill.
He had no choice but to leave.
After Xu Zhengwen left, Ling Ju finally relaxed. Leaning back in her chair, she tapped her neck. "Yan Jintang, why didn't you come earlier? I think Xu Zhengwen left because he saw you were feeling miserable. The idea of a meeting was just an excuse."
Yan Jintang had long been accustomed to Ling Ju being busy while Yan Wu Ge was fine. He didn't mind Ling Ju calling him by his first name at all. "It's my fault, but why did you guys still eat with him?"
Song Wei took the initiative to join in, "When we came out of the courtyard, we saw him standing by the shore smoking, and none of the Xu family's spies were there. I thought he was here to follow us, so I chatted with him for a while. Unexpectedly, he asked to have dinner with us, so we didn't refuse and let him come along."
Yan Jintang picked up a piece of pork ribs, glanced at Song Qi, then at Ling Ju, "Why do I feel like he has no good intentions?"
Ling Ju ate the spareribs and said, "Is there any need to feel it? He just has bad intentions. I guess he's trying to trick me into believing our two families are sworn brothers. Could it be that he's jealous and wants to marry me too?"
Yan Jintang was a little impressed by his sister's way of thinking.
Song Qi was the only one who remained silent during the meal. He expressionlessly took Song Lingchen from Yan Jintang's arms and asked, "Is there any movement from Xu Yingwen?"
Yan Jintang shook his head. "I don't know if he's being too cautious or if he's truly clean. Everything we've investigated so far seems fine. And Xu Yingwen's funding source is also very clean."
Song Wei also replied, "It's the same here. Xu Yingwen founded his company from scratch. And I found out that Xu Yingwen hasn't been home for many years. In recent years, even during the Spring Festival, he has spent it alone in Min Province."
