After the hangover, Xiao Zheng asked for leave for Lin Huayin that night. Therefore, he didn't sleep late as usual and woke up at seven o 'clock on time. Lin Huayin was also very careful. She got up quietly and helped Xiao Zheng prepare breakfast before driving to work.
When Xiao Zheng got up, he had a splitting headache. It was the sequela of the crazy drinking last night. After going downstairs, Xiao Zheng first drank a large glass of water to soothe his burning throat. Then, he picked up the morning paper that Lin Huayin prepared for him and read it while eating a sumptuous breakfast.
Lin Huayin knew that he didn't like western food, so she always made breakfast separately. She ate sandwiches and drank milk, while Xiao Zheng had freshly squeezed soy milk and fried dough sticks. Although Old Lin was a little cold, her heart was still very warm.
After eating breakfast and reading the current news that he was interested in, Xiao Zheng wanted to stay in the living room and watch TV, eat some fruits, and nurse his overburdened body. However, he was stopped by the sudden ringing of his phone.
He picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Jiang Qing.
Why did this woman think of calling me?
Xiao Zheng answered the phone and threw his limp body on the sofa. He asked lazily, "Captain Jiang, why are you calling me so early in the morning? Is the Long Formation going to start a secret training?"
Jiang Qing's signature magnetic voice came from the other side of the phone. It was more powerful than an ordinary woman's, but it was mixed with a touch of special charm.
"No."
He replied in a serious manner.
"Then why are you calling me so early in the morning?" Xiao Zheng burped without caring about his image and said with a smile. "I'm full from breakfast. You don't have to ask me out."
"What about lunch?" Jiang Qing asked unexpectedly.
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng couldn't help laughing. "Captain Jiang, do you really want to ask me out for lunch?"
"Yes," Jiang Qing answered without hesitation.
"Tell me the time and place."
Anyway, he was resting at home and had nothing to do. He could meet his friends, chat, and pretend to be cool. Besides, Jiang Qing was a loyal woman. As long as she didn't make excessive requests, Xiao Zheng wouldn't refuse.
Jiang Qing was a straightforward person. After telling him the time and place, she hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng took a look at the time. It was not even 10: 30 pm. There were still two hours before the 12: 30 pm appointment with Jiang Qing. The place was not too far away. Even if there was a traffic jam, it would take at most half an hour to get there. He simply curled up on the sofa and watched two episodes of TV before changing into a set of clean and comfortable clothes. He didn't care about the quality of the brand, he only cared about the fit.
He drove to the restaurant with Jiang Qing. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw Jiang Qing sitting by the window. His eyes lit up and he thought to himself, 'Oh, I didn't expect the dignified Captain Jiang to wear a skirt.'
Waving his hand, Xiao Zheng strode over with both hands in his pockets and said, "Captain Jiang, what kind of wind is blowing today that you have to spend money to treat me to a meal?"
"I'm only in charge of treating you. Otherwise, it won't be my turn. "Jiang Qing handed the menu to Xiao Zheng. "This is the most famous Sichuan restaurant in Beijing. Even at three or four o 'clock in the afternoon, it's always full. "
"Captain Jiang, when did you become a gourmet?" Xiao Zheng joked. "Also, do you think I'm blind? Since I entered the store, I haven't even seen a few waiters, let alone customers. You said that this restaurant is famous in Beijing? But I think it's going to close down soon … "
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Jiang Qing's eyes flashed with a strange light.
She didn't bother to explain and urged Xiao Zheng to order.
While the two were chatting, a young woman in casual clothes came out of the washroom. She walked toward the table with a smile on her face.
"What are you talking about? Why are you so happy? "
After she finished speaking, she directly sat down next to Jiang Qing.
Xiao Zheng raised his head and took a glance. His pupils immediately constricted, but he quickly calmed his rather chaotic thoughts and said with a smile, "You two know each other?"
"More than that. We've been good friends since we were young. "The woman who had a relaxed and casual style smiled. She even held Jiang Qing's arm intimately.
On the other hand, Jiang Qing had a stiff smile on his face. It was very perfunctory.
How could Xiao Zheng not see Jiang Qing's unusual behavior? Wearing a dress and taking the initiative to ask him out for a meal didn't seem like something Jiang Qing would do. Sure enough, there's a mastermind behind the scenes.
Who is this woman?
It's Shang Yao who got drunk by me last night. Unlike last night, she was simple and generous today. She wore a pair of canvas shoes and a pair of jeans that showed her personality on her straight and slender legs. It set off a fashionable atmosphere.
It has to be said that today's Shang Yao was completely different from the Shang Yao in Xiao Zheng's impression. She became more amiable and more contagious. With just a few simple words and a few small actions, she revealed her easygoing side. Even her face, which was more mature than her peers, seemed to be several years younger. It was full of sunshine.
Of course, the moment Xiao Zheng laid eyes on this woman, he was already on his guard. If he didn't have confidence in Jiang Qing's strength, he would have suspected that Shang Yao kidnapped Captain Jiang.
Facing Shang Yao's enthusiastic words, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "It seems that Captain Jiang is right. This restaurant is indeed a famous old restaurant. It's just that today it's booked by Miss Shang Yao. That's why it's so quiet, right? "
Shang Yao beamed and said, "It's really pleasant to chat with a smart person like Mr. Xiao."
After saying that, she personally poured three cups of tea, one for Xiao Zheng, one for Jiang Qing, and one for herself.
"I drank too much last night. When I woke up this morning, I felt like my head was about to explode. Let's replace wine with tea for this meal. What do you think, Mr. Xiao? "Shang Yao picked up the teacup and asked in a very easygoing manner.
"I also can't drink wine." Xiao Zheng smiled and picked up the teacup. "Cheers."
After taking a sip of tea, Shang Yao looked at Xiao Zheng with a face full of smiles. She pursed her red lips and said, "Mr. Xiao, you wouldn't blame me for asking Little Qing to trick you into going to the appointment, right?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "I should be proud to be invited by Miss Shang Yao. Why would I blame you?" After a pause, he went straight to the point. "I just don't know if Miss Shang Yao has any instructions for me to come out this time?"
"I don't deserve it." Shang Yao quickly shook her head and said with a smile. "Mr. Xiao is such a successful businessman. I can only learn, how would I dare to give any instructions?"
"I don't deserve it." Xiao Zheng took a sip of tea and said meaningfully. "Miss Shang Yao booked the entire restaurant to treat me to this lunch. If I don't give something, I won't feel at ease eating."
After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Qing who was sitting quietly at the side. It was unknown if he was trying to liven up the atmosphere or taking care of Jiang Qing who couldn't speak, but he smiled and said, "Captain Jiang, is that so?"
