Lu Mingji lowered his head to cut the steak on the plate, picked up a piece with a fork and put it into his mouth. He raised his eyes slightly and saw that Zhou Du and Xia Xi had different expressions. A confused expression appeared on his face. What happened?
The restaurant manager had been on high alert for a long time, and when he saw the big boss coming, he hurried over to greet him. Lu Mingji only then noticed the movement at the door, glanced at it casually, and was suddenly stunned.
That person is...Xu Yanfeng?
Dressed in a dark black suit, he exuded an elegant and distinguished demeanor, making his presence hard to miss even from a few meters away. The elites accompanying him were clearly older than him, surrounding him like a star-studded circle, yet they couldn't overpower his aura.
A natural born superior, full of intimidation.
Lu Mingji thought to himself, no wonder Xia Xi was so unnatural. No matter how much time had passed, seeing her ex-boyfriend, especially one who had a child with him, naturally made it hard to let go of the feelings.
But he didn't understand why Zhou Du was so strange...
Before Lu Mingji could figure out what was going on, Xu Yanfeng's gaze swept over him.
The first person he noticed was Xia Xi, and then he glanced at the man beside her. The man had his face hidden, but after a second look, he recognized him: Zhou Du. Xu Yanfeng tightened his jaw and paused for several seconds.
As if unable to maintain his facial expression, Xu Yanfeng put one hand into his trouser pocket, clenching his fingers tightly with so much force that they trembled.
Zhou Du, he actually saw Zhou Du again, and he was still with Xia Xi.
Xu Yanfeng's aura suddenly changed. The restaurant manager sensed it and was frightened. He spoke tremblingly, "Boss Xu, now that you're here, please feel free to give us any instructions. We will definitely cooperate and make improvements."
I received a message in the group early in the morning saying that General Manager Xu would inspect all stores after get off work. It was not clear which stores he would visit. In short, all managers should be prepared and not take chances.
So, he led his employees to check for omissions and wait for Mr. Xu to arrive without stopping, but he didn't expect to run into him.
Originally, the manager thought he had done a good job. Even if he couldn't get praise, at least he could pass the test with General Manager Xu. But seeing General Manager Xu's expression, he suddenly felt unsure and could only correct his attitude before the other party spoke.
Xu Yanfeng ignored his words and stared at that place.
His sullen face and silent expression made him look particularly stern. The restaurant manager was naturally intimidated, and cold sweat broke out on his back. "Boss Xu?"
Xu Yanfeng regained his consciousness, glanced at the manager lightly, turned his head and whispered something to a senior executive beside him, then took a step and walked straight towards where Xia Xi was.
Several executives took action and began to inspect various parts of the restaurant. The manager had no time to pay attention to Xu Yanfeng and followed them with a nod and a bow.
When he got closer, Xu Yanfeng noticed Lu Mingji, who was in the shadow of the light and had been ignored by him.
He must be crazy. In this situation, he actually wanted to laugh.
Xia Xi is such an amazing woman. Her new love and her old love can have dinner at the same table and the atmosphere is so harmonious. And with her ex-boyfriend, they can even play mahjong together.
Ah, that’s not right. Lu Mingji can’t be considered a “new love”. According to the information provided by Tang Yizhou, Lu Mingji and Xia Xi have nothing to do with each other. They are just ordinary superiors and subordinates.
So what? Just because it doesn’t matter now doesn’t mean it won’t matter in the future. He sees that Lu Mingji’s feelings for Xia Xi are not simple.
As Xu Yanfeng approached, Xia Xi froze like a piece of wood.
Is Nancheng only the size of a palm? How come she always runs into Xu Yanfeng in various occasions?
She has only been back here for over a month!
"What a coincidence! I always run into old acquaintances when I come to inspect the restaurant." There was an extra seat at the table for six, so Xu Yanfeng pulled out a chair and sat down. His posture was so relaxed that it didn't seem like a chance encounter, but rather like he had come for a special appointment. "Since we are so destined to meet, why don't we go together? I'll treat you."
Zhou Du felt extremely guilty. When he heard Xu Yanfeng's voice, he felt like thunder exploding on his scalp. He almost lowered his head under the table and didn't dare to look at the man at all.
He couldn't help but roar in his heart. He hadn't been to Nancheng for eight hundred years, so how come he ran into Xu Yanfeng as soon as he came!
Is it God's will to kill him?
Xu Yanfeng didn't care what other people were thinking. He calmly waved his hand and a waiter immediately came forward, bent down 90 degrees, and respectfully presented the menu with both hands.
The man tapped a few times on the menu with his ring-wearing index finger. The waiter wrote down his order and stepped away silently.
Zhou Du and Xia Xi remained silent, leaving the atmosphere somewhat awkward. Lu Mingji, as calm as ever, said, "What a coincidence! This restaurant is owned by the Xu family. No wonder it's so popular."
Xu Yanfeng wiped his hands with the napkin in front of him, his gaze flickering over Xia Xi's face. She was no longer as stunned as before, her expression relatively calm. With a faint smile, Xu Yanfeng replied to Lu Mingji, "Mr. Lu, thank you for your compliment."
Zhou Du really couldn't stay any longer. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in his back, and like there was something stuck in his throat. He picked up the cup on the table and gulped down a few gulps of water. He stood up and made an excuse to leave: "Ahem, I'm going to the bathroom."
The chair legs rubbed against the floor, making a slight rustling sound. Zhou Du turned and left, almost bumping into the waiter who came to serve Xu Yanfeng.
After a while, Xia Xi's phone on the table rang and a WeChat message popped up.
Zhou Du: "I'm leaving first, bye."
Xia Xi picked up the phone and sent a message with a question mark.
Zhou Du: "How dare I eat at the same table with Xu Yanfeng! How brave do I have?"
How could Xia Xi not understand his mentality? But it was too disloyal for him to just leave her like that. She would not allow it: "Come back, sit down and finish this meal!"
Zhou Du: "I don't."
Xia Xi: "Then we'll break up."
