In that instant, Shang Yechu understood what Shi Shan meant.
Like Li Ruhui, Shi Shan was hinting to Shang Yechu that "there is an urgent matter, and we need to meet alone."
This was a coded message. Although Ji Juntao had read the script, he wasn't as familiar with it as Shang Yechu, so he naturally didn't understand it.
Shi Shan wanted to bypass Ji Juntao and meet with Shang Yechu alone.
Shang Yechu's mind considered many things at that moment, and then made a decision in less than a second—to go.
Therefore, Shang Yechu decided to play along with Shi Shan's statement.
Both of them understood each other without saying a word.
As for where to meet, that was indeed a significant problem. Ji Juntao, eyeing the situation warily, had confiscated all of Shang Yechu's phones before leaving, leaving her only a basic old-fashioned phone that could make calls—a phone that would emit a loud "beep" sound with the slightest touch…
Boss Ji's plan was flawless; he used sonic weapons (or rather, socially destructive weapons) to physically prevent Shang Yechu from making any underhanded moves.
Ji Juntao accompanied Shang Yechu the entire time, so Shi Shan and Shang Yechu didn't have a chance to speak alone. Given that Aunt Cai was a legendary racer, Shi Shan couldn't possibly pull any tricks like "following that car" as seen in the movies.
The agreement was stuck at the last step, and before they parted, Shi Shan and Shang Yechu had no chance to arrange a meeting place.
Just as Shang Yechu was troubled, the famous national pastry chain store "Lanxiangshi" suddenly jumped into Shang Yechu's mind.
The white orchid leaves are green, and I fear the fragrance will arrive before they are fully appreciated.
Shang Yechu put herself in Shi Shan's shoes and thought about it for a while before finally deciding to go to Lanxiang Shi Pastry Chain Store!
The reason is simple: Shi Shan and Shang Yechu's only exchange was a few sentences, and this script was the only shared information they had. If Shang Yechu were Shi Shan, she would also choose to gamble in front of this shop if she had no other choice.
The entire reasoning process felt like a massive act of conjecture, with Shang Yechu's confidence level less than 10%. Every moment she doubted whether she was overthinking things. Perhaps Shi Shan had simply misremembered the script, perhaps Shi Shan had given up on meeting since they couldn't agree on a location, perhaps…
With these suspicions in mind, Shang Yechu deliberately ordered a lot of food in front of Lanxiangshi store to prolong Ji Juntao's time inside. While waiting for Ji Juntao, Shang Yechu caught a glimpse of Shi Shan's car out of the corner of her eye!
Shang Yechu guessed correctly.
This was a dramatic meeting filled with adventure and unknowns.
If Shang Yechu were even slightly less familiar with the script, or even slightly less cunning, or even slightly less daring, then Shi Shan's scheme would all fall apart.
This meeting will not take place. As for the consequences of it not happening...
Perhaps Shi Shan would give up on the difficult option of "Ye Chu" and settle for another partner instead. Shang Ye Chu thought coldly.
This is a test. Shi Shan is the unassuming test setter, and Shang Yechu is the only examinee.
Although she handed in a perfect score, Shang Yechu felt no joy at all.
