Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Xie Ting personally made a latte for Shen He and brought it to Shen He's office. "Boss Shen, are you going to the construction site this afternoon?"
Chen He felt a little sleepy at noon and took a nap for twenty minutes after finishing the draft.
She had just woken up and her eyes were still a little blurry.
Pinching his brows, Shen He picked up his coffee and took a sip before saying, "Mr. Meng has hired a construction team from Country D to do the construction. I have a meeting with them this afternoon."
"An engineer from Country D?" Xie Ting frowned and said, "We don't have anyone on our team who's good at German. How about I find someone to introduce a German translator?"
"Need not."
Shen He waved her hand and said, "I found someone."
"who?"
With a mysterious smile, Shen He said, "My cousin."
Does Mr. Shen have a cousin?
Xie Ting never imagined that the cousin uncle mentioned by Chen He was the client's father Mengshan himself.
Thinking of something, Xie Ting reminded Shen He: "By the way, President Shen, today is the day for our department's monthly dinner."
"There are several well-reputed restaurants nearby, and we've almost checked out all of them. Where should we go for dinner tonight? Do you have any recommendations?"
Chen He flipped open the calendar and took a look, then slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, I almost forgot."
When it comes to dinner parties, the first thing that comes to her mind is Shangwei Restaurant.
"I do have a restaurant recommendation, but I'm not sure if I can get a reservation tonight. I'll give you a call first."
"good."
Xie Ting went out.
Shen He drank coffee to refresh himself while calling Ma Kai.
The phone rang for more than ten seconds before being answered.
"Uncle Ma." Shen He called out Uncle Ma cheerfully, but Song Jingcheng responded, "Your Uncle Ma is busy and has no time to answer the phone."
Song Jingcheng said pretentiously: "Is there something wrong? I can help you convey it."
Chen He laughed sullenly, "It's you I'm looking for."
Song Jingcheng pretended to be confused: "If you want to find me, why don't you call me?"
Chen He was about to laugh when she said, "No matter who you call, isn't it you who answers the phone in the end?" Whenever Ma Kai saw a call from Chen He, he would not answer it and would directly hand it over to Song Jingcheng.
Song Jingcheng smiled.
"You are at work, right? Why are you calling me at this time? Is there something wrong?"
Chen He got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Song, is Shangwei Restaurant open today? Our studio is having a dinner party today, and I'd like to take my employees there to try some delicious food."
Shangwei Restaurant is located in the most prosperous CBD area of Qing City, and you can't make a reservation there just by having money.
Chen He was just giving it a try, without holding out any hope.
Song Jingcheng asked her, "How many tables are there? I'll ask Uncle Xie if he's open for guests today."
"Four tables, please."
Today is just a team dinner for their department, and people from Junlin's department will not attend.
"Okay, I'll ask."
Song Jingcheng quickly replied to Chen He, saying yes.
After receiving the message, Chen He called Xie Ting into the office and told her, "I've sent the address of tonight's dinner to the work group. You can go directly there after work."
"I'm going to meet Davis and the others first, and then I'll meet you guys directly at the restaurant later."
"good."
After instructing Xie Ting, Chen He went to the construction site by himself and met Meng Shan and Davis, the chief engineer of the Country D construction team.
They first visited the construction site before moving to a nearby club to discuss in detail the materials and details to be used in the construction.
The meeting ended and it was almost dark.
Mengshan sent Davis away first, then turned to Chen He and said, "Your cousin invited me to eat Xinjiang food tonight and asked me to take you with me."
But then Mengshan changed the subject and said, "But, I don't like third wheel, niece. You can understand me, right?"
Chen He smiled slightly and extended her right hand towards Meng Shan. She said, "If my cousin-in-law won't take me to eat and drink for free, then you should pay. You pay for my dinner tonight."
Mengshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are a money-grubber."
Mengshan actually took out two tickets from his trouser pocket and handed them to Chen He: "I have two tickets for the art exhibition here, do you want them?"
Chen He was disgusted and was about to return the ticket to Meng Shan when he heard Meng Shan say, "Among the works on display, there are works by Night Walker."
Night walker?
Isn’t that Song Jingcheng’s work?
Chen He quickly pulled the ticket back and stuffed it into his bag.
Mengshan smiled teasingly and teased her deliberately: "Are you suddenly interested?"
Chen He said seriously, "I've always been very interested in art exhibitions. Let's go, cousin-in-law!"
With a wave of his hand, Shen He walked away arrogantly.
*
When Chen He rushed to Shangwei Restaurant, Xie Ting and the others were all there.
As the big boss, Jun Lin was also there.
The waiter is serving the food.
Jun Lin was standing in the yard making a phone call. When he saw Chen He enter the yard, he hung up the phone with a few words, walked over, put his arm around Chen He's shoulders, and took her under the ginkgo tree.
Jun Lin asked her, "Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"
Chen He was very honest: "I do mind."
Jun Lin had already taken out the cigarette, but when he heard her say she minded, he put it back.
"Hey, how did you get an appointment with this family?"
Jun Lin complained to her: "Last time my eldest brother came to Qing City, I also wanted to arrange a date at this restaurant, but the table was full that day, so it didn't work out."
"I heard that the big boss behind this restaurant is from the Song family."
Jun Lin glanced at Shen He suspiciously and said in an unfathomable tone, "You and Mu Tingyun have broken up, so why is Mr. Song still willing to help you?"
Chen He lied with his eyes open: "It was because I broke up with Mu Tingyun that he helped me."
Jun Lin suddenly realized: "His nephew is not a good person. He is two-timing and has let you down. As your uncle, he should naturally give you some compensation."
