Chapter 9: Full of Tension
"I only talk about money and efficiency with my partners, never about friends. But maybe you will be the first."
"Then I'm truly honored, Mr. Gu."
As soon as he finished speaking, two waiters came in and made the Sukiyaki themselves.
Lin Xi: "This is my first time in this Japanese restaurant. I didn't expect the food to be so good."
"The founder of Xiaoshanhe is my high school classmate. I'll introduce you to each other someday and have him make eel rice for you."
"Okay."
"Um."
Gu Qingheng took the clean bowl and chopsticks, carefully stirred the sterilized eggs, picked up a piece of beef from the Sukiyaki pot, and finally handed it to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow, "Thank you."
"Eat more."
The two of them ate and chatted, and their conversation started.
The meal that could have been finished in an hour took the two of them three hours to finish. In the remaining two hours, they kept clinking glasses of red wine, chatting about work, life, Zhang San, and Li Si.
After having fun.
The two of them walked down the stairs side by side, passing by Shen Yan and others.
Suddenly, Chen Yan stopped, looked back, and said:
"Mr. Gu."
Lin Xi suddenly turned around and smiled, her smile was as warm as a spring breeze, but the meaning of her smile was unclear.
Lin Xi thought the smile was directed at her and was a little flattered, but as if calling a name, Chen Yan ignored her and said to Gu Qingheng: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Gu here."
Gu Qingheng also chuckled, "It seems like we are destined to be together."
Chen Yan narrowed his eyes dangerously and looked at Lin Xi.
Qin Mingzhou and Qin Ran, who were with Shen Yan, knew Gu Qingheng. Qin Mingzhou, in particular, was more familiar with her.
"But then again, why is Mr. Gu and Madam Shen always together?"
Qin Ran, unfazed by the situation, corrected him, "Brother, you're so uncultured. That's not how you use the phrase 'out in pairs, into pairs'. It's inappropriate! Out in pairs, into pairs, refers to couples."
"Heh~" Lin Xi smiled without saying a word.
"Are you Miss Qin?"
Lin Xi looked into Qin Ran's eyes and asked.
"Yes, I am Miss Qin."
"Has anyone ever told me that you and I look alike?"
They are similar in spirit, not exactly the same.
Lin Xi felt that she was all natural, while this young lady from the Qin family looked a little unnatural, especially when viewed up close.
"Of course there are, quite a few. Perhaps you are my lost sister from a previous life. Looking alike is a special fate, right, Miss Lin?"
"Besides Director Lin, people call me Madam Shen, Mrs. Shen. As early as three years ago, few people called me Miss Lin."
Qin Ran: "Oh? Then I'll follow Brother Chen Yan's side and call you sister-in-law?"
Lin Xi doesn't like any nepotism.
"Brother Shen Yan? As far as I know, Shen Yan has no sister. He is an only child. Miss Qin, please call me Madam Shen."
Qin Ran's expression suddenly turned ugly, and she looked at Qin Mingzhou angrily.
Qin Mingzhou said in a bad tone, “It’s just a title, why should Madam Shen be so persistent.”
“Well, this voice of Madam Shen is very pleasing to the ear. It seems that the Second Young Master Qin is better at speaking than Miss Qin.”
Qin Mingzhou suddenly laughed out loud.
It seems that Miss Lin does not take the Qin family seriously and speaks without reservation.
"Chen Yan, it's getting late. I should go home."
After saying something to Shen Yan, Lin Xi left on her own.
It seems that Chen Yan has not only many beauties around him, but also many sisters.
Gu Qingheng suddenly felt a little sorry for Lin Xi.
The tone of his voice also became indifferent and distant, "Boss Shen, let's talk another day."
"Okay, let's have a good chat some other day." Chen Yan said with a fake and charming smile.
