The waiter replied respectfully, "Mr. Mu has arrived. He is in the private room on the second floor. Miss Third, please come this way."
Yan Ning followed the waiter up to the second floor and entered a private room.
The door opened and Mu Tingchen, who was sitting on a chair, looked towards the door.
A barely perceptible glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Yan Ning.
Yan Ning entered the box and said, "Brother Mu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Mu Tingchen stood up, pulled out a chair for Yan Ning, and said politely, "I just arrived a few minutes ago, please sit down!"
Yan Ning nodded slightly and sat down on the chair.
Mu Tingchen sat down next to Yan Ning, picked up the teapot on the table and poured her a cup of tea.
"Have some tea first. I just ordered some of this restaurant's signature dishes. Do you have anything else you'd like to eat?"
Yan Ning thanked him and asked the waiter to add a serving of mango sago and a serving of mango pancakes.
She loves all mango-flavored desserts.
Mu Tingchen took a sip of tea and said, "Yan Ning, I saw a report about you in the newspaper a few days ago. Congratulations."
Yan Ning smiled, "Thank you."
"Are you planning to stay in Hong Kong in the future?" Mu Tingchen played with the empty teacup in his hand.
Yan Ning: "I will spend most of my time in Hong Kong, and occasionally return to the mainland."
Mu Tingchen looked at Yan Ning and said, "You look very young. You should still be studying, right?"
"I have already graduated from high school. The current policy in mainland China is that students can stop studying after graduating from high school.
But I want to find a university in Hong Kong to continue my studies in the next two years." Yan Ning said thirstily, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Mu Tingchen nodded in agreement, "That's not bad."
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and the waiter opened the door and came in to serve the dishes.
When all the dishes were served, Mu Tingchen brought the two desserts on his side to Yan Ning, and then the two began to eat.
Occasionally, Mu Tingchen used the serving chopsticks to pick up food for Yan Ning.
His attitude was very natural and casual, and it looked like he was just taking care of the younger sister of a family friend.
Yan Ning couldn't even say no.
Yan Ning ate until he was only 50% full, then began to slowly eat the two desserts.
Mu Tingchen thought of an incident that happened in Hong Kong some time ago and said:
"You don't have to worry about Li Hongzhi causing you any trouble in the future. I heard he has been missing for over half a month.
The Li family has been searching for Li Hongzhi in Hong Kong with great fanfare, but they have not found his whereabouts.
A few days ago, the Li family also began to face a crisis. The Li Group's stock price plummeted and was acquired by a large company.
The Li family is now bankrupt, and Li Hongzhi's life and death are unknown. I'm afraid he was killed by his enemies a long time ago."
Yan Ning was surprised, not because of the Li family's bankruptcy, but because he was shocked by the speed of the Ning family's action.
As for Li Hongzhi...his body should be floating to the surface soon, right?
Once it floats along the sea to a port, it will be discovered.
Yan Ning continued to eat dessert.
Yan Ning finished both desserts without leaving a single bite and felt very full.
Mu Tingchen looked at the plates with a lot of leftover dishes and two empty dessert bowls in front of Yan Ning, and silently took note of it.
After finishing his meal, Yan Ning rang the bell in the private room and asked the waiter to come up and pay the bill.
But he was told that the bill had already been paid by Mu Shao.
Yan Ning turned his head to look at Mu Tingchen. This man had not left the box the entire time. When did he pay the bill?
"Brother Mu, didn't we agree that I would treat you to this meal? When did you pay the bill?"
Mu Tingchen said seriously: "This is the first time we have eaten together. How can I, a grown man, let a girl pay the bill?
Even if it's my treat this time, please come back sometime later!"
Yan Ning found it a little funny.
If she couldn't see through this person's hidden thoughts, she would have lived in vain in the 21st century for so many years.
Yan Ning chuckled, "Okay then, thank you for the treat, Brother Mu. I'll treat you to dinner again when I'm free."
As for whether or not he is free and when he is free, she has the final say.
The two went downstairs and out of the restaurant.
At the gate, Mu Tingchen looked at Yan Ning and said, "Where are you going? Let me take you there!"
Yan Ning smiled and refused, pointing to a commercial vehicle parked on the side of the road.
"I came here in my family's car, so I won't bother Brother Mu. I'll be leaving first."
Mu Tingchen nodded slightly.
Yan Ning walked towards the vehicle.
Wang Qiang got out of the car and opened the door for Yan Ning. Yan Ning got in the car and said "goodbye" to Mu Tingchen.
The driver started the car and left the restaurant.
After Yan Ning's car disappeared around the corner of the street, Mu Tingchen withdrew his gaze and got into his own car.
Vehicles are driving on the road.
Mu Tingchen leaned back, closed his eyes and thought deeply.
Yan Ning is different from those rich girls in Hong Kong, and she is also different from the well-behaved girls in the mainland.
He felt that he and Yan Ning had similar magnetic fields.
From the first time he saw Yan Ning, his eyes were always attracted to her.
But the girl is still young, and now is not the time to think about these things, so let’s take it slow!
You can start by being friends and gradually integrate into her life.
…
The next day, Sunday, Yan Ning's shop decoration plan was completely completed.
The decoration company that Wang Biao was asked to find a few days ago has also been found.
The house only needs to renovate the shop on the first floor. The rooms on the three floors above are ready and can be moved in directly.
After lunch, she took Wang Biao and three others out to the house they bought on Admiralty Road.
On the way, Wang Biao told Yan Ning about the rewards given to them by Mr. Ning and the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Old Mr. Ning rewarded the four bodyguards and the two men who followed Wang Biao to the bar last time with 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Ning Shaoyang applied for a reward of HK$10,000 from the Independent Commission Against Corruption for Wang Biao and his two subordinates.
This made them more loyal to Yan Ning and work for him.
The vehicle drove for more than half an hour and arrived at the destination.
The construction team from the decoration company was already waiting at the door.
Yan Ning got out of the car, met the person in charge of the construction team, and gave him the drawn decoration drawings.
Wang Biao opened the two store doors on the first floor.
Yan Ning and the person in charge walked in and went through the decoration one by one according to the on-site environment and the drawings.
A secret room should be built at the innermost part of the store, and several large safes should be embedded in the secret room.
Yan Ning emphasized the points that needed attention.
In particular, the starlight effect bulbs to be installed on the top must be the ones she mentioned.
If these light bulbs can't be found in Hong Kong, she can find a way to get them.
In short, you cannot use other light bulbs to make up the difference.
The person in charge also asked in detail if there were any points that he didn't understand.
After everything was finalized, the person in charge of the construction team estimated that the renovation budget would be around HK$1.5 million.
The majority of them are safes in secret rooms and counters made of shattered glass in shops.
