Liu Lihai looked at Zi Di. He seemed to understand everything, but at the same time, he seemed to understand nothing. He thought that he had helped her escape from the tiger's mouth, but in the end, she fell into the wolf's den. If he had known this would happen, he would have asked Secretary-General Xu Xinhua to send her over.
"What did Sister Liu say to you?" Liu Lihai stared at Zi Di.
"Come on, let's go. Treat me to a good meal, let's not talk about this. "Zi Di wanted to change the subject.
Liu Lihai could not pursue the matter any further, so he and Zi Di walked along the path of the Summer Palace towards the parking lot. Along the way, the two of them pretended to admire the scenery. Of course, the scenery of the Summer Palace was especially different when there were fewer people. It was quiet and unadorned, easily giving rise to a sense of bliss as a member of the royal family, especially when one had three palaces and six courtyards. This, in Liu Lihai's opinion, was far more direct and imaginative than the Forbidden City.
It wasn't Zi Di's first time here, but she liked this place, especially when it wasn't a holiday. This place was simple and unadorned, quiet, and even past tense. This kind of feeling was incompatible with her age, but she didn't know why she liked this place. Compared to the Forbidden City, she liked this place even more.
In Zi Di's eyes, the Forbidden City's Imperial Garden was too disappointing. She once thought that if she could exchange her whole life for one day of Cixi's life, she would be too satisfied and too happy. But when she arrived at the Imperial Garden, she realized how small this place was. If she were to stay here and look at these flowers and grass for the rest of her life, she would be bored to death. Moreover, he had to serve a man who had a harem of three thousand beauties. Moreover, he might end up like her current situation, being given to an old man who was over sixty years old. At that time, the world would belong to the emperor, and she wouldn't even have a place to escape. What about now? The world did not belong to one man, but she had nowhere to run.
The more Zi Di walked, the sadder she felt. But no matter what, Liu Lihai had come to see her now. This handsome boy had invited her to dinner and showed her around Beijing. She felt content just thinking about it. If she stayed in the countryside, it would be difficult for her to get to know him, let alone hang out with him.
Zi Di felt that she was too infatuated. She did not know if other girls were like this. Why did she like Liu Lihai's handsomeness so much? Of course, he did not add insult to injury and did not take advantage of others when they were down. These beautiful qualities were becoming fewer and fewer in men nowadays, because she had been brought by Liu Liu to meet Butler Guo. In his eyes, he had told her to study hard and if necessary, go abroad to further her studies. His words were full of praise for Liu Liu's nurturing of her. It was only after this time that Zi Di completely understood that she had not been saved by the kind-hearted CEO Liu. Instead, she had been nurtured to be more outstanding, even to the point of becoming the most attractive tool for men.
Zi Di didn't want to leave the university. She loved school and wanted to study hard. But her foundation was really too poor. It was really difficult for her to learn, and she didn't understand a lot of it. Sometimes, when that kind of despair swept over her, she really felt that she should just let it be. In the end, she would always be treated as a tool, and a high-level tool at that, so she had no choice but to obey.
The two of them walked along the road, admiring the scenery along the way. Unknowingly, they arrived at the gate. Liu Lihai went to drive the car, and Zi Di waited at the gate.
While Liu Lihai was driving, he called Leng Hongyan. Once the phone was connected, Leng Hongyan asked, "Are you done accompanying her so soon?"
"Sister, it seems that you were right. Liu Liu is playing a big game of chess, but Zi Di refused to say anything. She asked me to treat her to dinner tonight, so I want to take her to dinner. Do you need the car now? How about I give you the car first? "
"I don't need the car. You can go. But remember, you can't touch this kind of girl. Don't test the law, and you can't afford to enjoy this kind of girl. "Leng Hongyan said so, but these words made Liu Lihai feel very uncomfortable. Of course, what Sister Leng said was the truth. How many men in the officialdom could enjoy a girl as beautiful as flowers and jade at his age? Even Butler Guo, when he was young, it was difficult for him to enjoy a good boutique girl.
Boutique girls had always been prepared for people in high positions of power. Liu Lihai should understand this point, and Liu Liu was quite clear about this point. However, it seemed that Liu Lihai understood it a little too late. This was what he felt now, and Sister Leng seemed to have acquiesced to this rule, and she actually reminded him so.
"Okay. I will pay attention. " Liu Lihai's mood was very heavy. After responding, he went to drive the car. When Leng Hongyan heard the sound of the car starting, he took the initiative to hang up the phone.
After Liu Lihai put away his phone, he drove the car to Zi Di's side, and she sat next to him again. However, he didn't know why, he no longer felt proud, but an inexplicable sour feeling.
"Brother Liu, what do you want to take me to eat?" Zi Di was very happy to ask Liu Lihai.
"What do you want to eat?" Liu Lihai asked again.
"If I want to go to a place to eat, can you take me there?" Zi Di asked again.
"Yes." Liu Lihai responded, but his heart was drumming, because after all, he didn't have much money on his card.
"Great." Zi Di clapped her hands and said, looking like a little girl. This was probably what old men liked, because for them, it was too easy to ask a little girl to go anywhere, but Liu Lihai really couldn't be happy.
"Tell me, where do you want to go?" Liu Lihai pretended to be generous and continued to ask, but in his heart, he was calculating, please don't order Wangfujing or other high-end places. He had less than 30,000 yuan, and he couldn't afford to be tossed around in Beijing.
"I want to go to Houhai. We can eat barbecue and drink wine in Houhai." Zi Di's appearance was still childish, and the food she ate was also childish. This made Liu Lihai's heart calm down, but at the same time, it became heavier.
There were several bars in Houhai with barbecue, and the environment was good. They could also eat barbecue on the top floor, taste wine, and enjoy the ambiguous night view of Houhai. It was quite enjoyable. Liu Lihai didn't expect Zi Di to have such an elegant mood. He thought she would order a high-end place, French food, Japanese food, and so on. He didn't expect her to order this. This made him feel touched, and at the same time, he had an urge to protect this girl.
Because he had a luxury car, and because Liu Lihai wanted to enjoy life in Beijing with Zi Di, he drove very fast and very steadily. When he reached Houhai, even though it was already late, he could still feel the liveliness and richness of Houhai's nightlife.
Zi Di walked in front. She seemed to be very familiar with the place, and she took Liu Lihai straight to a place with barbecue. The business here was quieter than other bars, and it was not the season to eat barbecue and drink wine on the top floor, so the business was even quieter. At least when Zi Di went in with him, there were not many customers, which was different from the bar life he had imagined.
Zi Di obviously knew the boss here. She smiled at Zi Di and said, "Miss Zi Di, are you here to take care of my business again?"
"Sister Wu, not at all. I really like the barbecue here, and I like the environment here." Zi Di smiled, but soon, Zi Di looked back at Liu Lihai and said, "I forgot one thing. You shouldn't have brought your car. I want to drink with you, and we won't go back until we're drunk. "
"Miss Zi Di, are you celebrating something?" The woman Zi Di called Sister Wu asked with a smile.
"This is Brother Liu. He came to Beijing to see me. This is a happy occasion." Zi Di smiled in response to Sister Wu.
"Is he your boyfriend?" Sister Wu looked up and down at Liu Lihai. "He's so handsome, much more handsome than the male lead in Korean dramas."
These compliments made Liu Lihai feel extremely awkward, but other than smiling, he didn't know how to respond.
When Sister Wu saw Liu Lihai smile like this, she was even more convinced that he and Zi Di were a couple. She arranged a small room for them and said to Zi Di, "It's very windy on the top floor now. It's quiet here, and no one will disturb you."
"Thank you, Sister Wu, for giving us a box of wine first." Zi Di said to Sister Wu.
"You really want to drink? I brought my car. Can you drink so much wine? "Liu Lihai quickly stopped Zi Di.
"You can park your car at Sister Wu's place and drive it tomorrow. I said I won't go back until I'm drunk tonight. I want to get drunk, and I want to see what it feels like to be drunk." Zi Di looked at Liu Lihai coquettishly. This made Sister Wu think that they were a couple.
"Yes. Miss Zi Di is a regular customer here, so it's fine for you to park your car here. "Sister Wu smiled. Having a customer was exactly what she wanted.
"Zi Di, can we drink at another time? And this car … "Liu Lihai didn't know how to continue, so he stopped mid-sentence.
"Let's go up." Zi Di pulled Liu Lihai.
Liu Lihai could only follow Zi Di up to the second floor. There was a very small private room, so small that it could only fit him and Zi Di. Of course, Beijing was a place where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. Such a small room was probably set up for couples.
"You deliberately don't want to treat me to a drink, right? If you're afraid of spending money, can I pay? "Zi Di sat down and said angrily.
"Zi Di, you … you don't know, this car … this car was borrowed by me. I don't feel at ease leaving the car here. "Liu Lihai explained with some embarrassment.
"You borrowed the car? Isn't this the car you gave when you came to Beijing for business? "Zi Di stared at Liu Lihai and asked.
"What's in that little head of yours? Even my boss doesn't dare to drive such a luxurious car. How can a small secretary like me have such a car? " Liu Lihai also laughed. He was still embarrassed to say that the car was given to him by a woman, and a very old woman at that.
