It wasn't just one person who invited Lu Qinglan to dinner.
Chen Zihan drove Lu Ruorong and Lu Qinglan to the Chang'an Restaurant where they had dinner last night. When they followed the waiter's instructions and walked into another equally luxurious private room, they saw five people sitting inside.
There were five people, four men and one woman. Two of the four men were about thirty years old. They had a good demeanor and appearance, and sat upright.
The other two men were probably in their forties or fifties, well-dressed, and probably of high social status. They naturally exuded the aura of a superior.
The woman was probably in her forties, and had a very good demeanor. Her clothes and appearance were more elegant than those of ordinary people.
This woman must be a successful person, either holding a high position or having extraordinary achievements.
When the waiter knocked on the door and invited Chen Zihan and the other two in, all five people inside stood up.
They seemed a little surprised that Lu Qinglan brought two other people with him, and they looked at the three of them with a little surprise.
The oldest, least hairy, and most dignified middle-aged man, about fifty years old, was the first to approach them.
"Miss Lu came to Chang'an, why didn't you tell us? At least let us do our duty as hosts!" He took the initiative to greet her, extending his hand to Lu Qinglan, laughing as he spoke: "I haven't seen Miss Lu for more than half a year. Miss Lu has become more beautiful than ever!"
"Thank you, Brother Wu!" Lu Qinglan thanked him with a smile and shook hands with the other party neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Lu Qinglan called out "Brother Wu," which made the middle-aged man smile. He quickly said, "Today is our private gathering, so we won't talk about anything else."
He was not busy introducing the people around him to Lu Qinglan, but after letting go of Lu Qinglan's hand, he greeted Lu Ruorong and Chen Zihan.
"This is my niece, my brother's daughter, Lü Ruorong." Lü Qinglan first introduced Lü Ruorong to everyone, and then introduced Chen Zihan, "This is our Lu family's future son-in-law, Chen Zihan!"
Lu Qinglan's introduction is quite interesting.
She did not say that Chen Zihan was Lu Ruorong's boyfriend, but only said that he was the future son-in-law of the Lu family.
Although everyone could tell at a glance that Chen Zihan and Lu Ruorong were a couple, they felt something strange from her introduction.
"So she's Qing Ling's daughter!" The man laughed heartily, then gracefully extended his hand and gently shook hands with Lu Ruorong. He then said, "Miss Lu, I used to work with your father. Back then, you must have been very young."
"Hello, Uncle Wu!" Lu Ruorong politely replied, but didn't say anything else. He just said politely, "Nice to meet you."
After the middle-aged man surnamed Wu let go of Lu Ruorong's hand, he shook hands with Chen Zihan and greeted him.
Chen Zihan didn't know the identity of this person, so he could only follow Lu Ruorong's example and call him "Uncle Wu" and say hello.
Lu Ruorong and Chen Zihan also soon found out that the middle-aged man surnamed Wu was named Wu Guanzhong. He was the deputy in charge of administrative affairs in Shaanxi, and his status was similar to that of Wu Jiangguo whom Qian Tang encountered last time.
Since this was not the first time he had encountered this, Chen Zi Han did not show any surprise.
Of the other people with Wu Guanzhong, the older, middle-aged man was Li Yifei, in charge of Chang'an's administrative affairs. The elegant and decent-looking woman was Zhu Meiying, the deputy administrator in charge of science and health. The other two men, both in their thirties, were their subordinates.
Lu Qinglan maintained her princess-like demeanor and shook hands with them.
Lu Ruorong and Chen Zihan naturally would not embarrass Lu Qinglan. They shook hands with them, exchanged greetings and remained reserved.
After Wu Guanzhong asked everyone to take their seats, he expressed his apology for not immediately greeting and entertaining the two Miss Lus and Chen Zihan.
After learning that Lu Qinglan was coming to Chang'an today, he contacted Lu Qinglan immediately and prepared to treat her to a simple meal.
He also called a few colleagues to come and meet Lu Qinglan and others, and join in the fun.
Although Lu Qinglan and Lu Ruorong did not explain too much to him, Chen Zihan soon realized that whether it was Wu Guanzhong, Li Yifei, or Zhu Meiying, they should all have close ties with the Lu family.
This can be seen from the look in their eyes when they look at Lu Qinglan and Lu Ruorong.
A hero needs three helpers, and a hero also hopes to have more helpers. This is the same everywhere.
Up to now, Chen Zihan still has no idea what Lu Qinglan is doing and what his public status is.
But he also knew that just because Lu Qinglan was Lu Liansheng's favorite daughter, no one dared to ignore her.
What's more, Lu Qinglan has countless assets and can call the shots in a certain field.
It was normal for Wu Guanzhong and others to warmly entertain her when they knew she was coming to Chang'an.
Every time she went out with Lv Qinglan, she met people of extraordinary status. However, Lv Qinglan didn't seem to like such scenes. She just had to attend the banquet tonight.
Although Lu Ruorong's status is not as high as Lu Qinglan's, Lu Qingling is not an ordinary person either. His future achievements may not be lower than Lu Liansheng's.
Naturally, no one dared to underestimate Lu Qingling's daughter.
Regardless of whether Chen Zihan is Lu Qinglan's boyfriend or Lu Ruorong's boyfriend, in the eyes of the people around him, his identity must be unusual.
Chen Zihan's temperament is very different from that of ordinary people. A man who can be looked at differently by the women of the Lu family is definitely not an ordinary person.
In the future, we might have to deal with each other again, or even need his help.
Therefore, even if Chen Zihan deliberately wanted to keep a low profile, it would be impossible.
After introducing each other, everyone sat down.
Wu Guanzhong asked about Lü Qinglan and his group's whereabouts today.
"I went for a run with them today and visited Huaqing Hot Springs and the Terracotta Warriors. When I received the call from Brother Wu, we were still touring the Terracotta Warriors!" Lu Qinglan deliberately did not call Wu Guanzhong by his title, and the other people did not address him by his title either, but just called him Mr. XX or Ms. XX.
Lu Qinglan did this deliberately because he didn't want to turn tonight's dinner into a business affair.
Of course, she also used this method to express her closeness to Wu Guanzhong.
After hearing what Lu Qinglan said, Chen Zihan also talked about today's itinerary in more detail, and also mentioned his plan to go to Emperor Wu of Han's Maoling Mausoleum tomorrow.
Wu Guanzhong immediately said that he would make arrangements tomorrow and ask someone to accompany them.
But he was rejected by Lu Qinglan and Chen Zihan.
"We're here for a private trip. We want to explore freely, so Brother Wu, please don't worry about arranging things for us." Lu Qinglan explained with a smile, "We don't have any specific plans for the rest of the trip. We might leave at any time."
"Okay!" Wu Guanzhong didn't say anything special, but just said that he would have a good chat with Lu Qinglan after dinner.
Lu Qinglan didn't refuse either.
While the waiter was serving the food, Lv Qinglan leaned over to Chen Zihan and whispered, "Come chat with me and Wu Guanzhong later. Let Lv Ruorong go back to the hotel and rest first!"
