Chapter 113 Date
In fact, Chen Congyu really wanted to know when Jiang Xilin would get engaged to Duan Ke. By then, he would definitely let her go, right?
Compared to sleeping with him, Chen Congyu naturally hoped that he would try a different approach.
She wasn't sure whether Duan Ke had found her earrings in Jinghu Lake. If Duan Ke had discovered something fishy, the good thing would be that Jiang Xilin wouldn't continue to exploit her.
When she thought of this, Shen Congyu suddenly came back to her senses. She was still thinking too idealistically. If the incident got too serious, she would not be able to stay in Haicheng anymore.
She had finally managed to keep her friends stable and had a job she liked. If she had this kind of black mark, she would probably never get ahead in this industry.
That was not the day she wanted to see, so she couldn't give in to Jiang Xilin's toughness.
Shen Congyu was promoted to a regular employee ahead of schedule and went on several on-site interviews. Even though she was one of the least prominent staff members, she was busy and comfortable.
So when I heard people talking about Jiang Xilin at the scene, he seemed to be very busy recently, and the hotels under his name will no longer be limited to Haicheng starting this year.
Chen Congyu also heard the editor-in-chief mention that he was preparing a column specifically for interviews with upstarts who had made their fortunes from scratch, and Jiang Xilin's name was mentioned among them.
This type of column appeared a few days ago. Shen Congyu saw it abroad and still remembered that her teeth almost broke after reading the content quickly.
On the cover, Jiang Xilin is dressed in a suit and tie, and every detail of his appearance is meticulously crafted. Apart from these external enhancements, what is even more amazing is his face.
When the aunt at home brought in the magazine, she asked her if she was a star in their country.
With this beginning, Shen Congyu gradually became calm when he read some reports related to Jiang Xilin.
This time, when the editor-in-chief mentioned his name, Shen Congyu didn't feel any emotion. She had no way of knowing more, and her position was not even close to being able to write those columns.
The day before Chen Congyu went to rest, she received a message from Duan Ke. This was the first time she had contacted Chen Congyu, and she was not used to seeing her name.
Duan Ke asked Chen Congyu if she had time tomorrow, as she had a friend who wanted to meet her and have dinner with her.
It was unclear whether Duan Ke really wanted to be friends with her. As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Duan Ke's attitude was so gentle that Chen Congyu had to give him face even if she was unwilling.
Before she could reply, Chen Congyu had to submit some documents, which delayed her for a few minutes. When she looked at her phone again, Duan Ke probably thought she was embarrassed and added: "I can guarantee it for him. It's just a meal to get to know each other. I won't force you."
Chen Congyu thought for a moment and replied: [I'm free tomorrow at noon.]
Duan Ke then sent the restaurant address and thanked her for giving her this face.
Chen Congyu just gave her a favor and met her for a meal.
So the next day, she didn't dress up and just put on very light makeup before going out.
Only when we got there did we find out that Duan Ke's "friend" was actually Hu Zi.
Chen Congyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Zi saw her coming and stood up to help her pull out the chair. "I didn't disturb you, did I?"
"without."
"Actually, I know it's a bit abrupt to ask you out so suddenly. Because of what happened before, I'm not sure if you still want to see me. Also, I don't know if you're single now, so I had to ask you through Sister Ke first."
Hu Zi came up and explained.
You can see that he is a little reserved.
Chen Congyu had already taken it lightly, and she said, "I understand."
"That's good."
Hu Zi asked the waiter to give the menu to Chen Congyu to order, and he said: "I haven't formally asked you out for dinner before, I hope it's not too late."
Chen Congyu didn't shy away from him and ordered two dishes he wanted.
She smiled at Hu Zi: "No, you don't have to be so polite."
Hu Zi is two years younger than Shen Congyu. He plays with Duan Zhen and her group all day long, so he looks a little honest and rough on the outside. In fact, he always looks young and immature in front of Shen Congyu.
When talking to Shen Congyu, he was very attentive to her every move, fearing that she might do something wrong.
To put it bluntly, it's a bit cautious and unskilled.
How long had it been since Shen Congyu had come into contact with this type of man? She and Jiang Xilin had married early, and Jiang Xilin's personality and mind were needless to say.
Later, she met Chen Yao, who was an even darker and more scheming man.
So even though Hu Zi was rather immature most of the time, Chen Congyu didn't feel tired getting along with him. On the contrary, it was much easier because he didn't have to think in circles about what he said.
Because the atmosphere between Shen Congyu and Hu Zi is harmonious and relaxed.
When someone approached to say hello, Shen Congyu hadn't noticed it in advance.
Zhou Zhou's cheerful tone permeated the conversation, tinged with surprise. "You're eating here too, Huzi. So you know Miss Chen too."
Chen Congyu saw Yan Zhao standing behind Zhou Zhou. There was a faint smile in his eyes, but Chen Congyu was not sure if it was because she had a bad impression of him before or what, she always felt that his smile was not so pure.
Especially when she thought about how good his relationship with Jiang Xilin was, and how he was the only one who knew in the past two years that she and Jiang Xilin were married.
Chen Congyu nodded to the two of them.
They seemed to be leaving. Zhou Zhou chatted with Hu Zi casually for a few words, then turned sideways and said to Shen Congyu, "Let's ask Sister Xiaosong to go out and play together some other day."
Out of politeness, Shen Congyu nodded in agreement.
After they all walked out of the restaurant, Shen Congyu drank some juice and then calmed down.
Little did she know that as soon as they walked out of the restaurant, Yan Zhao took out his cell phone and took a picture of her and Hu Zi having dinner together.
Zhou Zhou asked, "What are you doing?"
Yan Zhao sent the photo and said, "You'll know soon."
After getting in the car, Yan Zhao still hadn't received a reply, so he simply made a video call.
Zhou Zhou stretched his neck and realized that he was video calling Jiang Xilin.
Jiang Xilin's face appeared on the screen. The background behind him looked like a conference room. He was wearing a shirt and his tie was not loose at all. It seemed that he was busy working.
He drank some water to moisten his throat and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Zhao: "Have you seen the photo I sent you?"
"No time."
Yan Zhao smiled, "Now let's see."
Jiang Xilin frowned, then tapped a few times on the screen and loosened his tie.
"What does this mean?"
Zhou Zhou, unaware of the situation, thought Yan Zhao was sharing Hu Zi's gossip with Jiang Xilin, so he blurted out, "Hu Zi is dating Miss Shen!"
Yan Zhao calmly dropped a bombshell and said to Jiang Xilin, "You're about to be pried away."
Zhou Zhou:?
He looked at Yan Zhao, then at Jiang Xilin on the phone, his eyes widened.
"Ah? What are you talking about? What is the relationship between Miss Shen and Brother Jiang? Doesn't Brother Jiang have a girlfriend?"
Jiang Xilin: "Can you stop being so confused?"
Zhou Zhou: "But what exactly is going on?"
Neither Jiang Xilin nor Yan Zhao replied to him.
Yan Zhao then said to Jiang Xilin: “From what I see from Hu Zi’s attitude, he is serious. I wonder what Chen Congyu thinks.”
