After a busy afternoon in the office, Xiao Zhengben wanted to invite Lao Lin home for hot pot. It's getting cold, so it's necessary to eat something hot. Especially when eating hot pot, the steaming heat always makes Lao Lin's fair and tender face blush beautifully. This is also one of Brother Azheng’s latest bad jokes.
That aspect of the blush will be ignored in the short term, and Brother Azheng has no choice but to save the country.
He just picked up the company's internal landline and didn't wait for him to dial the dedicated line. The cell phone on the desk started buzzing.
I looked at the caller ID, but it was an unfamiliar number.
Normally, Xiao Zheng might not answer the call. But the New Year was approaching, and he didn't know who the other party was, so he might miss an important call, so he still answered the call.
"Hello." Xiao Zheng's mellow and steady voice sounded. Waiting for a response on the phone.
"Hello, Boss Xiao, I'm Xue Kaiyang." The man on the other side of the phone paused and said in a gentle voice. "We met at Yan's house."
"It turns out to be Mr. Xue, hello." Xiao Zheng greeted unexpectedly.
What did he say hello to himself
Could it be that Bai Wushuang's slander caused his would-be fiancé to be prejudiced against him. Want to save face now
If that's the case, Xiao Zheng doesn't have time to waste time with him. He also wants to discuss the New Year's Eve dinner menu with Jessica.
It could be heard that Xiao Zheng didn't mean to talk in detail, Xue Kaiyang kept the story short and said with a smile: "That's it. Yaoyao and I have agreed to hold a wedding on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. I want to have a meal with you alone tonight, which can be regarded as an invitation in advance. Also I hope you will appreciate it."
Have a meal
It seemed that Xiao Zheng's intention was fulfilled. Is this really just to show off
Xiao Zheng frowned slightly, pursed his lips and said, "I will definitely be there on the wedding day. There is no need for this meal tonight. I understand."
Perhaps because of his status, Xiao Zheng no longer needs to be too accommodating when chatting with most people. Especially things that don't go your way. Not to mention flattery.
This is also the privilege brought by power and wealth.
Lao Lin taught him to be kind to the world, but there is no need to spend too much energy to be kind to everyone. Even if you do it, you are not called a saint, you are called a hypocrite.
Of course, if you remain a hypocrite for a lifetime, you will become a gentleman. But such a person will never become a great person.
A general's achievements will last forever. Which person who achieves great things does not have many rumors behind him
Xiao Zheng works hard to make the people around him happy. He's not so selfless that he doesn't think about himself.
"Boss Xiao, don't get me wrong..." Xue Kaiyang hurriedly explained. "This is Yaoyao's intention. I'm just sending a message to her. The place has been booked. Please be sure to thank Boss Xiao. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to Yaoyao."
What does Shang Yao mean
Didn't Xue Kaiyang hold the Hongmen Banquet just to show off
If so, Xiao Zheng really has no reason to refuse. Publicly and privately, he has some friendship with the business lady, and they are both shareholders of Jufeng Network. It's just a meal. If you don't go, you won't miss the old friendship.
However, now that they are engaged, the wedding date has also been determined. It’s not a good idea to have to eat by yourself at this juncture, right
Isn't she afraid of Xue Kaiyang's taste
Xiao Zheng shook his head, pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng rubbed his brows with a headache.
What does this woman want to do
The engagement and wedding were held so quickly, who was it for
Own? Or the Bai family? Merchant
Speaking of which, Shang Yao's situation is not easy. Even marriage is some kind of trade-off. Live the conspiracy from the inside out. It's a pity.
Xiao Zheng was not completely unable to understand Shang Yao's thoughts. But it was like he calmly rejected Zhang Lan's request, facing this smart and rational business lady. Xiao Zheng is also unwilling to develop any relationship other than cooperation.
His emotional world is messy enough.
There is really no need to drag this out again.
After sending a text message to Lao Lin, Xiao Zheng tidied up casually and asked Xiao Taohong to prepare a reasonably friendly gift. Drive to your destination.
The agreed place is the restaurant of a five-star hotel. Needless to say, the location is good, the environment is good, and the food and service are great. As soon as Xiao Zheng entered the gate, two cheongsam girls came to greet him. After asking, they personally led Xiao Zheng to the box.
As soon as I entered the house, a wave of heat hit me. The men and women in brocade clothes in the room both stood up, but Shang Yao was still calm. However, Xue Kaiyang came forward very enthusiastically and held Xiao Zheng's arm with both hands: "Boss Xiao, don't be surprised if you miss me from afar."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "Miss Shang and I are old friends. We don't have to pay too much attention."
At least in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Zheng and Shang Yao are indeed long-term partners. Some friendships are just ordinary.
On the contrary, Xue Kaiyang, before entering Shang Yao's life circle, had little chance to meet top industry figures like Xiao Zheng. Now that he can have a meal alone and have an interview, his worth has doubled.
After exchanging a few words, the three of them took their seats.
Shang Yao didn't talk much, and the conversation mainly focused on Xiao Zheng and Xue Kaiyang. But her beautiful big eyes stayed on Xiao Zheng for a long time. Not to mention Xiao Zheng himself, even Xue Kaiyang saw it clearly.
But at this moment, Xue Kaiyang didn't say much.
There are some things that he cannot say publicly.
In private, I dare not say it too obviously.
After all, this pairing is one where the woman is strong and the man is weak.
"Miss Shang, I respect you." Xiao Zheng picked up the wine glass and broke the awkward situation.
Shang Yao nodded lightly and said, "Thank you."
Then drink it all in one gulp.
After drinking the wine in the glass, Xiao Zheng also took out the gift and said with a smile: "I came in a hurry, but it's not a valuable thing. It's a little thoughtful, but please don't dislike it."
"Boss Xiao is too polite." Xue Kaiyang smiled, shied away for a few times, and then stopped being stubborn.
After another chat, Xue Kaiyang suddenly received a phone call. I was about to refuse the call, but after taking a look at the caller ID, my face immediately became serious. He stood up and said, "Boss Xiao, I'm sorry, I'm going out to take a call."
"It's okay. Go ahead." Xiao Zheng nodded.
As soon as Shang Yao left.
The atmosphere in the box was even more bizarre.
Xiao Zheng was eating food and drinking wine, while Shang Yao was just sipping tea slowly.
After a long time, Shang Yao slowly raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Zheng: "Boss Xiao, it seems you haven't wished me a happy wedding yet."
In fact.
Shang Yao and Xue Kaiyang have already received the certificate.
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he said helplessly: "Miss Shang, why are you doing this?"
"Why bother?"
Shang Yao's eyes became a little clear, and his voice trembled slightly: "If it weren't for liking you, you would find that I am actually a pretty good woman."
"I didn't believe it before, but now I do."
"Loving someone is indeed abominable."
