While the two were discussing work arrangements, they had unknowingly arrived at the riverside. Being blown by the river wind, Liu Lihai couldn't help but say, "It's so comfortable."
Lin Nuo wasn't in the mood to look at the scenery. In her heart and eyes, she only wanted the existence of this man. With him around, all the people and things around him became unimportant and blurry.
"Where are we going to eat?" Lin Nuo looked at Liu Lihai and asked.
Liu Lihai stared at the surging river and thought, "Is Zhao Hongri really at Shanshui Family?" Because Shanshui Family wasn't far from the riverside where he and Lin Nuo were. He had heard of it, but he had never been there. But with Lin Nuo, he couldn't go to a very ambiguous place like Shanshui Family, right? But when Lin Nuo asked where to eat, Liu Lihai casually said, "Let's go to Shanshui Family."
The name Shanshui Family was very poetic. Lin Nuo definitely didn't know where it was, so she quickly said, "Okay, okay. Then let's go, I'm hungry. " Lin Nuo didn't want to stand by the river and look at the river. She needed to find a place to sit with this man, where she could look at him and enjoy the opportunity to be alone with him.
Only then did Lin Nuo realize how hard it was to love someone. Previously, she was focused on taking the civil servant exam, so she didn't realize that she cared about this man so much. Now that she was facing Liu Lihai, all the beautiful things about love in her heart burst out. She knew that this man had never left her imagination and thoughts.
"Okay, okay." Lin Nuo said happily.
Liu Lihai realized that he said something wrong as soon as he blurted it out, but seeing that Lin Nuo was so happy, he held back the words he wanted to say and began to lead the way. Of course, he still wanted to know if Zhao Hongri was really picking up girls at Shanshui Family again.
When the two of them walked into Shanshui Family together, the welcoming lady who greeted them looked at Liu Lihai enthusiastically and asked, "Sir, do you have a reservation?"
"No." Liu Lihai answered.
"I'm sorry, sir. If you don't have a reservation, it's full today. The slender receptionist said with a smile, but behind this sentence, there was a clear intention to keep people a thousand miles away. Was this place not open to the public?
Many places required an introduction from an acquaintance, which was what the receptionist referred to as a reservation. Without a reservation, one could not enter. Liu Lihai knew that there were many in Beijing and some in Jiangnan, but he didn't expect Shanshui Restaurant to be like this. It was because Shanshui Restaurant looked like an ordinary restaurant on the surface. Even the lights at the entrance of the restaurant were extremely bright, and there were no colorful lights. No one would think that such a restaurant would have a juicy younger sister in it. This also made Liu Lihai puzzled. But the more puzzled he was, the more he wanted to go in and take a look. He said to the receptionist, "I am Mr. Zhao Hongri's friend. Can I trouble you to see if he has arrived?"
The waitress walked into the restaurant with her snake-like waist, while Lin Nuo said, "Let's go to another restaurant."
Liu Lihai didn't respond to Lin Nuo. Instead, his eyes kept following the welcoming lady's back. This made Lin Nuo suddenly have a very uncomfortable feeling. Was Liu Lihai also someone who couldn't move his eyes away from beautiful women? He wasn't like this when he was in Lin County.
"Let's go to another restaurant." Lin Nuo raised her voice.
Liu Lihai seemed to have come back to his senses. He looked at Lin Nuo and asked, "What did you say?"
Lin Nuo wanted to cry. She realized that she had no place in Liu Lihai's heart. This was the time when they were alone together. His heart wasn't on her. Not to mention when she wasn't by his side, how could he think of her at all? She suddenly thought of a song: Why does love make people think of all sorts of things? Why did you say goodbye when I was drunk?
She didn't know why, but Lin Nuo suddenly wanted to drink and sing. Just as she was about to propose another restaurant, the welcoming lady came with Zhao Hongri behind her. When Zhao Hongri saw Liu Lihai and Lin Nuo, he was obviously stunned for a moment. But soon he looked at Lin Nuo with a mischievous smile and said, "Girl, this place isn't suitable for women."
Lin Nuo didn't know where she got the courage from. She looked at Zhao Hongri and said, "I want to go in and have a look. I want to drink and sing. Does this place have that?"
"Haha." Zhao Hongri burst into laughter again.
Liu Lihai didn't expect Lin Nuo to suddenly become so brave. He thought she understood his intention and looked at her gratefully. But she didn't look at him. She actually followed behind Zhao Hongri and rushed to go in first.
As soon as they crossed the first threshold, what came crashing down on them unexpectedly made Liu Lihai and Lin Nuo surprised. With such rich decorations in the hall, the furnishings inside couldn't be too shabby.
It seemed that Shanshui Family deliberately used a poetic name and a rustic appearance to confuse the outside world. It seemed that Zhao Hongri's power wasn't as simple as Liu Lihai had imagined. Before they came to Jiangnan, they had already extended their hands to Jiangnan.
Lin Nuo looked around curiously, but Zhao Hongri acted as if it was his home. He led the way in front with great familiarity, and from time to time turned his head to look at Lin Nuo and say, "Girl, aren't you afraid of coming to a place like this? This is a place for men to play. "
"I'm not afraid." Lin Nuo was still angry with Liu Lihai. Besides, as long as Liu Lihai was with her, she didn't care. She just wanted to annoy Liu Lihai. He didn't care about her, but there were always men who cared about her. At least this Zhao Hongri's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he was overflowing with enthusiasm. Although she didn't like this man, she now needed to use this man to please and attack Liu Lihai.
"Good, good, girl, you're so brave." Zhao Hongri completely ignored Liu Lihai behind him and kept talking to Lin Nuo.
After walking in the long corridor for a while, Liu Lihai tried not to look around. He tried to pretend that he really brought Lin Nuo to play and had no interest in this place. But with such a long passage, he was still secretly shocked. At least this place wasn't as small as it looked, and there must be a lot of rooms.
It wasn't the climax yet, but when Liu Lihai walked through the corridor, he vaguely felt that there were people in many private rooms. Obviously, it was a one-stop service for eating, drinking, and playing.
When he was about to reach the end of the corridor, Liu Lihai thought he had arrived, but Zhao Hongri turned into another corridor. Lin Nuo, the silly girl, didn't look back at Liu Lihai and kept talking to Zhao Hongri. This was also good, it could confuse Zhao Hongri.
After turning a corner and walking a few steps, Zhao Hongri stopped. He didn't knock on the door, but directly pushed it open and went in. To Liu Lihai's surprise, there were only two men he knew in the private room except for Xiao Qi and Xiao Nie. There were no girls or anything like that.
As soon as they saw Lin Nuo and Liu Lihai come in, they all stood up and said, "Big Secretary is here, please sit."
Liu Lihai then said with a smile, "Brother Qi and Brother Nie are here too." After saying that, he nodded at the two strange men. Zhao Hongri hurriedly pointed at a tall, chubby man and said, "Come, Big Secretary, let me introduce you. This is the second boss of Shanshui Family, Mr. Wen."
Liu Lihai took the initiative to shake Mr. Wen's hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Wen."
"Hello, Big Secretary. Seeing is believing. You are indeed a handsome man. "Mr. Wen smiled and praised Liu Lihai.
Zhao Hongri teased him and said, "Big Secretary, you have to be careful. Mr. Wen is a beauty lover. Don't develop into a gay friend." As he said that, his eyes fell on Lin Nuo's face, making Lin Nuo flustered and blushing.
Liu Lihai saw the change in Lin Nuo and wanted to joke with Zhao Hongri, but Zhao Hongri didn't give him the chance to speak. He pointed at a short young man next to Mr. Wen and said, "This is Mr. Wen's secretary, Xiao Yao."
Liu Lihai still took the initiative to extend his hand. Xiao Yao looked very flattered and warmly shook Liu Lihai's hand and said, "Hello, Big Secretary. Hello, Big Secretary."
After introducing all the people that needed to be introduced, it was time to sit down and drink. But Liu Lihai was pulled to the main seat by Zhao Hongri and said, "It's not easy for Big Secretary to be willing to have a meal with big brothers. Come, today you are the host and we are the guests."
Since Zhao Hongri was so enthusiastic, and even praised Liu Lihai so much, if he didn't give him face, then that would be too unreasonable. But he declined and said, "No, no, you are all big brothers. It's better if Big Brother Qi sits at the top, Lin Nuo and I will sit at the bottom.
Liu Lihai wanted to refuse, but Zhao Hongri forcibly pulled Liu Lihai to the main seat. On his left and right were Xiao Qi and Xiao Nie. Lin Nuo was arranged to sit next to Zhao Hongri and he said, "Big Secretary, sister-in-law can sit next to me. I will take care of her. You don't have any problem with that, do you?"
"Of course not, of course not. Thank you, Brother Zhao." Liu Lihai was also very sweet. He always called them brothers, which made Xiao Qi, Xiao Nie and Zhao Hongri very happy. But Lin Nuo was unwilling. Zhao Hongri was obviously lustful to her. Couldn't Liu Lihai see it? And he wanted her to sit next to him. It seemed that this man really didn't love her at all.
Lin Nuo's mood instantly became extremely bad. She regretted coming to this so-called Landscape Family, and she also regretted being angry with Liu Lihai. But at this point, she had to bite the bullet and sit next to Zhao Hongri. As soon as she sat down, she felt Zhao Hongri's thigh leaning towards her. She moved aside, but this man also followed her closely, intentionally or unintentionally, which made her almost get up and leave.
Fortunately, soon the wine and dishes were served. Zhao Hongri's interest shifted to the wine, and his thigh no longer leaned towards Lin Nuo.
Lin Nuo wanted to bury her head and eat now. She was really hungry. But Zhao Hongri just wanted to drink. How could there be no wine on such a night? Besides, it wasn't easy for Liu Lihai to send himself to the door. How could he easily let go of Liu Lihai today?
There were no waiters in the private room. All the work of serving drinks was done by Xiao Yao, and the secretaries around the four leaders enjoyed the service of other secretaries, and enjoyed it with peace of mind. At least in the eyes of Liu Lihai, Xiao Qi, Xiao Nie and Zhao Hongri all looked very peace of mind. He had been secretly observing everyone to see how familiar they were with each other and how far they had progressed.
Xiao Yao poured the wine according to the order of the host and guest. Because Liu Lihai followed the secretary, it was reasonable for him to sit in the host and guest position. Although he felt a little awkward in his heart, thinking of his purpose of coming here, he put aside the awkwardness. After Xiao Yao filled his cup with wine, he smiled and said to Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, you've worked hard."
"You guys are the ones who have worked hard." Xiao Yao added.
Zhao Hongri suddenly said, "Haha, the leaders are the ones who have worked hard."
