As it was almost time to leave work, Li Luchuan took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye, "President Xiang, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Since he didn't break the contract and knew the gravity of the situation, Xiang Jingyi had no reason to continue interfering with him and could only let him leave first.
"Did Master Zhou's men tell you that?"
“It was his subordinate, Adin, who called me personally.”
Is it reliable?
"I trust them."
Xiang Jingyi frowned. "If they are willing to give it to Li Luchuan, why don't they just sign the contract first? That piece of land is in the hands of Master Zhou, and he must be very anxious."
Unless Li Luchuan didn't actually want it that much, but his tone just now made it seem like he had no problem with it...
"Perhaps he's testing the waters."
The scattered rakes here and there inevitably cause people to worry.
Li Luchuan arrived at the restaurant on time to have dinner with Xiang Nanzhi. When he arrived, Xiang Nanzhi had not yet arrived. Xiang Nanzhi was used to going out, so she specially changed her clothes and put on makeup.
She wore a black dress that made her look slimmer, but her large belly was still undeniable. Her hair was styled in an updo, which added to her dignified and gentle charm.
As they reached the door, Li Luchuan stood up and went to help her. Xiang Nanzhi gracefully extended her hand, saying, "Mr. Li, you're too kind. Just sit down."
“I have feet, I can walk here by myself.”
"That won't do. Boss Xiang is here, how can we not get up to greet him?"
Helping Xiang Nanzhi sit down, Li Luchuan let her order, saying, "If your tastes haven't changed much, what I've ordered should suit your palate."
Xiang Nanzhi hasn't been here for a long time, and he can't remember what the taste was like, but for an old shop like this, the taste should have remained the same for so many years.
She nodded. "Then I won't order anything. Try what you ordered."
Before leaving the mine, Shen Shixun made a phone call to Zhou Erye. He was standing about ten meters away from one of the mine shafts outside the mine, and lit a cigarette while making the call.
People occasionally came out of the mine, some eating, some drinking water.
Uncle Zhou answered the phone quickly. He helped Uncle Zhou check the last batch of goods and there were no more shipments going to him. He followed the routine every day. Apart from cooking delicious food for Xiang Nanzhi, he spent the rest of his time at the mine and had almost no rich personal life.
He's been planning a business deal lately, but he doesn't know if it will work out.
"Sehun."
"Second Master, if Li Luchuan comes to you about this again, remember to let me know."
He didn't stand on ceremony with Master Zhou, and their previous collaborations had been very pleasant; he didn't treat Master Zhou like an outsider at all.
Master Zhou laughed and said, "I'm afraid I can't tell you about this in time. We may be related, but if someone wants that piece of land I own, I will definitely transfer it."
How do you know Li Luchuan will definitely want it?
“If he didn’t want it, he wouldn’t have alerted you and aroused your suspicion,” Zhou Erye said slowly. “You know this only because of our friendship. I’m afraid I’ll have to talk to this Mr. Li alone next.”
If no new buyer emerges, this deal will undoubtedly fall into the hands of Master Zhou.
The man drove to the neighborhood, passed a cake shop, joined the queue, bought a cake for Xiang Nanzhi, and then went to the market to buy some of her favorite vegetables.
I called her, intending to pick her up from the antique market. "Zhizhi, where are you?"
The man's voice became very gentle. After truly getting to know him, Xiang Nanzhi discovered that this man was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and he had almost no temper in front of her.
He would do whatever she wanted.
"You don't need to pick me up. I have something to do. I'm having dinner with some friends. I'll go home by myself later tonight."
Xiang Nan was afraid that Shen Shixun would see Li Luchuan. During their brief interaction at the teahouse last time, she could tell that Shen Shixun and Li Luchuan didn't get along very well.
The two companies have a partnership, and the two people negotiate with each other on work matters; they are rivals.
Moreover, Li Luchuan is also a man...
"Do you want me to pick you up? Where should we eat?"
"Sehun, you go back first. I'll come back when I'm done with my work."
"good."
Shen Shixun wanted to say something more, but Xiang Nanzhi hung up the phone first and returned to his seat.
A bouquet of flowers appeared on the table, and Xiang Nanzhi was taken aback. "This is..."
"This is for you. I heard you mention a long time ago that you like champagne roses."
There was one flower that stood out particularly, a blue rose...
Xiang Nanzhi reached out and touched it, "This one is..."
“This is one I grew myself. It’s a rare blue one. I’ve grown several plants, but only this one has bloomed. You just happened to be here during its flowering season.”
"This one is pretty."
Xiang Nanzhi easily picked the rose from the large bunch, held the blue rose in her hand, and smelled it. "But the fragrance is very faint, almost no fragrance at all."
"Yes, beautiful things always have some weaknesses. Its weakness is that it has no fragrance, unlike the common red and white roses which have a strong fragrance."
Li Luchuan cut the steak for her and handed it to her, saying, "Eat up, it tastes just right now."
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
Xiang Nanzhi put the rose back in the tuck and took a bite of steak.
She was used to being waited on hand and foot and didn't think much of it.
When she ate with her eldest brother, he would cut the steak into small pieces and hand them to her. Her second brother would also peel shrimp for her.
It's normal for her to be waited on, but if no one waits on her, she can still support herself.
"You're such a close friend and you still thank me."
"We should always be polite."
"Xiang Nanzhi, you've changed a lot over the years."
She was dressed in a black dress and ate her meal slowly and deliberately, without answering Li Luchuan's question.
After a while, the man asked again, "Is President Shen very good to you?"
"Yes, he treats me very well, and we are very much in love."
Xiang Nanzhi never shied away from the fact that she was married in any situation, and she never forgot to mention Shen Shixun's good qualities.
"Can your relationship last? After all, there's a huge gap between you two."
What do you mean by that?
"Don't overthink it. I just feel like you two are from different worlds. After working with him for a while, I roughly know that he doesn't care much about his quality of life, especially when it comes to women..."
“He doesn’t have many demands on himself, but he tries his best to meet my needs. He’s very good to me and takes care of me in every way.”
In front of Li Luchuan, Xiang Nanzhi praised Shen Shixun highly, but he kept his head down and didn't look at him. However, Li Luchuan smiled coldly.
Does he also enjoy eating here with you?
"I don't really like eating these things anymore. I prefer his cooking. But Mr. Li, it's not easy for you to come back to the ancient city. We haven't seen each other for so many years, so it's necessary to get together."
Xiang Nanzhi's answer was watertight, and she wouldn't allow anyone to find fault with Shen Shixun in front of her.
Li Luchuan laughed, "Aren't you getting a little too emotional?"
“My husband is a very good man. He works with you and manages that mine. I hope you can respect him, even if it's just for my sake…”
Xiang Nanzhi looked at him seriously, and Li Luchuan met her gaze directly. "At work, I get along fairly well with President Shen."
