Chapter 54
"Let's have lunch together at noon. Give me your company address and I'll pick you up."
Luo Qingli was shocked to realize that it was almost twelve o'clock and she had been too busy to remember it.
I only ate a bun when I went out this morning, and now I feel a little hungry.
Luo Qingli thought about it, replied with a "OK", and sent the company's address to Ji Jinsi.
"I'll be there in twenty minutes."
In less than twenty minutes, Ji Jinsi arrived.
After receiving the message from Ji Jinsi, Luo Qingli went downstairs and saw a black Maybach parked at the door.
Ji Jinsi leaned casually against the side of the car, looking down at his phone intently.
He was wearing a casual polo shirt today, which was more casual than his usual business suits. He looked sunny and handsome, not so aloof, so he attracted the attention of many passers-by.
Some passersby were still wondering whether Ji Jinsi was a celebrity.
Luo Qingli walked forward, wanting to scare him, but unexpectedly Ji Jinsi raised his head the moment she approached.
Ji Jinsi put away his phone, smiled at her and said, "Come in the car. Today I'll ask you to play the role of host and pick a good restaurant."
Not having scared Ji Jinsi, Luo Qingli got into the car with some regret. She told the driver a famous local specialty restaurant and then asked Ji Jinsi, "I thought you were going back. Aren't you going to another city to discuss cooperation?"
Ji Jinsi gently held Luo Qingli's hand and said nonchalantly, "I don't need to go there in person. I've been busy for so long, it's time to give myself a break."
"This isn't something you, President Ji, would say." Luo Qingli joked.
Ji Jinsi is a well-known workaholic. In the past, the only thing he cared about was work.
"Don't you welcome me?" Ji Jinsi looked at Luo Qingli, seeming a little aggrieved.
Luo Qingli couldn't bear his expression and could only say, "No, I welcome it."
Hearing this, Ji Jinsi smiled faintly and continued to play with Luo Qingli's hand with peace of mind.
The restaurant that Luo Qingli introduced is in the city, not too far away, but it is dinner time now, so it is a bit crowded.
Luo Qingli got out of the car and walked inside with Ji Jinsi.
"Excuse me, are there any private rooms?" Luo Qingli asked the waiter at the door.
"Sorry, all the private rooms are booked now, but there are still seats in the lobby." said the waiter with a smile.
Luo Qingli glanced at Ji Jinsi, seeking his advice.
President Ji may have never eaten in the lobby.
Ji Jinsi said indifferently, "It doesn't matter where you sit. It's late now. Don't starve yourself."
Since Ji Jinsi had spoken, Luo Qingli could only let the waiter lead the way, and the two of them sat down at a window seat in the lobby.
Melbourne is a famous tourist city, and this is also a famous specialty restaurant, so almost all the people sitting in the lobby are tourists from all over the world.
Luo Qingli actually doesn’t like noisy environments, but when she sees the happy smiling faces of the tourists, she can tolerate it.
She looked at Ji Jinsi with some concern and asked, "How is it? Is it too noisy? If it's too noisy, should we change places?"
Ji Jinsi's noble temperament seemed a little out of place in this restaurant, but he did not show any impatience. Instead, he took the initiative to use the kettle to wash the dishes for Luo Qingli.
"No, I think this atmosphere is nice. It makes me feel like I'm a tourist visiting Mexico City."
Seeing that his expression was relaxed and didn't seem fake, Luo Qingli relaxed and called the waiter to order food.
She ordered some special dishes from Mocheng. Considering that Ji Jinsi didn't like spicy food, she asked the waiter to make it slightly spicy.
After the clerk left, Luo Qingli said to Ji Jinsi, "If you feel it's spicy, just rinse it in a bowl of water."
"You've made me a little scared when you said that."
"I didn't expect that President Ji still has something to be afraid of?" Luo Qingli teased.
"Of course, didn't you see what I was afraid of last night?"
Luo Qingli was stunned, and thought of Ji Jinsi standing lonely at the door last night.
She pursed her lips and said, "Next time, if I go somewhere, I'll tell you."
Ji Jinsi nodded as a matter of course and said, "Of course, I will also send you my itinerary. However, if you leave again in the future, I will find you."
Luo Qingli looked at Ji Jinsi. The man opposite was no longer as aloof and arrogant as before, keeping strangers away. He was like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.
And she, as the one who brought him down to earth, suddenly felt a surge of pride.
"You said you like me, so when did you start liking me?" Luo Qingli suddenly became curious.
Ji Jinsi didn't answer immediately. He thought for a moment and said, "I wanted to keep you by my side when I saw you again in Yuyi Village. If you say you like me?"
Ji Jinsi paused, and said with a warm smile in his eyes: "I won't keep someone I don't like by my side."
Luo Qingli was stunned. What he meant was...
"Perhaps, it started from the first time I saw you playing the piano."
That night, he escaped from the hustle and bustle and ran into someone who embraced loneliness like him, and he remembered the girl's piano playing.
Therefore, when the Ye family sent Luo Qingli to him, he accepted it silently.
Luo Qingli's eyes were filled with mist. She smiled and said, "Ji Jinsi, I noticed that you are so good at talking now."
Ji Jinsi held Luo Qingli's hand and said, "Don't you want me to say more? I'm a good student and I will learn it well."
Luo Qingli looked at the two similar rings shining, and nodded with a smile.
Ji Jinsi also noticed the rings in the hands of the two people. He lowered his head, thinking something in his heart.
The dishes were served quickly. Luo Qingli hadn't eaten authentic Mocheng cuisine for a long time and missed it very much.
Unexpectedly, Ji Jinsi actually accepted these dishes well. Apart from a slight redness on his lips and face, he did not feel any other discomfort.
"How is it? Are you used to it?"
“It’s delicious.”
"It seems that you have a good ability to accept things. You are very suitable to be in Mocheng..."
The word "son-in-law" was about to come out of Luo Qingli's throat, but she swallowed it back.
"What are you doing in Mocheng?" Ji Jinsi asked, staring at Luo Qingli.
"Nothing, I forgot. Eat quickly, or the food will get cold."
Although he didn't know what Luo Qingli was going to say, when he saw the girl's slightly red face, Ji Jinsi smiled thoughtfully.
When they were almost done eating, Ji Jinsi asked, "How's the invitation process for the perfumer going?"
"We've invited some famous perfumers from China, but it's difficult to find perfumers from abroad. Mozhu is still not a big enough brand."
"I have some connections with Claude, the perfumer of AMS Perfumes. I can invite him to come and testify for you."
Luo Qingli was very shocked. Claude was a very famous old perfumer abroad. He was famous for his fresh, transparent and simple style. He didn't expect that Ji Jinsi would know him.
"That would be great." Luo Qingli smiled. When it came to matters of life and death for the company, she would not refuse help from others.
"I'll give you his contact information, and you can send someone to contact him."
"Thank you, Ji Jinsi."
"You're welcome. I believe you would do the same if it were you, right?"
Luo Qingli nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly saw three people walking out of a private room in the store.
Among these three people, two are old acquaintances of Luo Qingli.
I didn't expect that in such a big city like Mo City, I could meet Ye Wanrou and Jiang Yao by such a coincidence.
Who was the man Ye Wanrou was hugging? Luo Qingli didn't recognize him.
"What are you looking at?" Ji Jinsi suddenly asked.
"I......"
Before Luo Qingli finished speaking, Ji Jinsi said, "You're not looking at Jiang Yao, are you?"
It turned out that Ji Jinsi also noticed them.
"No, I'm curious about who is next to Ye Wanrou?" Luo Qingli waved his hand quickly.
"That's Qian Daqiang, the president of Night Fragrance."
Luo Qingli suddenly realized that, as Jiang Yao said, Ye Wanrou had a relationship with the people in the night.
Jiang Yao was still the same as before, but Qian Daqiang nodded and bowed to Jiang Yao. Not long after, the three of them left.
Luo Qingli lowered his head and pondered what the three of them were doing, then heard Ji Jinsi ask: "Have you seen Jiang Yao in Mocheng?"
"Ah?" Luo Qingli raised his head. "No, why are you asking this suddenly?"
Ji Jinsi stared at Luo Qingli with deep eyes and asked, "Then why aren't you surprised at all that Jiang Yao showed up in Mocheng, and why aren't you surprised that Ye Wanrou is with Qian Daqiang?"
Well, Ji Jinsi couldn’t hide it after all.
"Okay, I met Jiang Yao on the plane from Beicheng to Mocheng. He told me about Ye Wanrou and Qian Daqiang."
Ji Jinsi frowned and asked, "What else did he say to you?"
He also said that he wanted her to be his girlfriend, but Luo Qingli never dared to say that.
"Nothing, that's all I said."
Looking at Ji Jinsi's expression, Luo Qingli said with a bit of amusement: "Ji Jinsi, are you jealous?"
Unexpectedly, Ji Jinsi nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I'm jealous. From now on, stay away from Jiang Yao."
Hearing Ji Jinsi say this, Luo Qingli's curiosity was aroused again. She remembered that when she fell into the water, Ji Jinsi also asked her to stay away from Jiang Yao and said bad things about Jiang Yao.
"Ji Jinsi, you don't like Jiang Yao?"
"No."
"Then why do you keep asking me to stay away from Jiang Yao? Are you really jealous?"
Could a man as gifted as Ji Jinsi really feel jealous? There shouldn't be any man who can compare to him, right?
"Jiang Yao has many women." Ji Jinsi said, but found it a little difficult to speak.
Luo Qingli nodded and said, "I know he has many women. Is that why?"
Ji Jinsi's eyes flickered, not daring to look at Luo Qingli, and whispered, "Women all like his looks and his smooth-talking personality. I'm afraid you'll be deceived by him."
I didn’t expect that President Ji had no confidence in himself, which led to a sense of crisis.
Luo Qingli couldn't help but laugh, "Pfft, so that's what you're worried about? Don't worry, I don't like his looks and personality. I like you."
Ji Jinsi was very satisfied with Luo Qingli's answer. He squeezed Luo Qingli's hand and said, "I hope you will always remember this sentence in the future."
