However, it was mealtime, and the restaurant, which was not very big, was crowded with people. It was very lively. It was only the couple’s turn to eat after taking a few lines.
After taking a seat, she passed the menu to him.””CEO Ji, let me treat you to this meal. Just treat it … As a token of my appreciation for you, as well as my rudeness and conflict with you previously. In any case, I really need this job now. Jewelry design is my passion, and …”
He took the menu and was about to flip through it when his gaze was attracted to it when she stopped talking.””And what … Tell me, I really want to hear it. And I promise you that I won’t mind no matter what reason you have. I won’t take revenge on you like I did in the office and the elevator!”
His tone was very sincere, and his eyes were fixed on her, so she did not suspect him at all.
These words sounded familiar, though, so she would not fall for them. After the forceful kiss in the office, the scene in the elevator had repeated itself.
In order for Shen Feng’s plan to be carried out smoothly, and in order to not have any trouble arising from this business trip to Singapore with him, she had made all the preparations to be submissive to everything.
“Moreover, I apologize for all my previous doubts and collisions with you. I was impetuous. Before there was any conclusive evidence, I rashly made a conclusion that you were that kind of person with bad conduct. Just take it as my apology. In short, you can be at ease!” She mimicked the man’s actions and flashed him a sincere smile. Her watery eyes met his curious gaze and blinked at the menu in his hand.
The man’s lips curled up as he saw through her thoughts. He followed her gaze and opened the menu again.”Alright, then I’ll accept your gratitude and apology. Otherwise, when you turn around, I’m afraid you’ll say I’m in the wrong again!”
“Yes, that’s right. CEO Ji, please forgive me. I hope that we can still be a good superior and subordinate, and a good business partner after this meal!” Even she herself felt that she was flattering him by saying this.
She looked suspiciously at the man and realized that he was not at all embarrassed. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up as he nodded and sighed. “That’s right, that’s right. How could I bear to be calculative with you? even if you’ve always looked down on me, I’ll still treat you as a treasure in my hands. Even if you see me as dirt, I still think you’re irreplaceable. ”
She blushed at this and smiled awkwardly.””CEO Ji, you’re too kind. You’d better hurry up and eat, or you’ll really have to change your flight!”
He looked at her teasingly and finally ordered his food with a smile.
As it was his first time here, he read the menu from the beginning to the end and didn’t order anything. After all, he was used to elegant and expensive Western food. The Chinese restaurants he rarely went to were also among the few in the city center, so he had long been bored.
In the end, he still passed the menu to her. She found it hard to refuse, and since her stomach was already rumbling with hunger, she took the menu and ordered a few dishes in no time when she saw his hesitation.
The dishes were soon served, and when he saw her gobbling down the food, he could not bear to see her do so.””Eat slowly. I booked first class. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to catch the plane if you follow me on a business trip?”
The doting tone of his words caused her mind to wander for a few seconds. Her chewing slowed down, and only after she had swallowed it did she raise her head and reply,””Alright …”
“How did you know about this restaurant?” Ji Ziming also thought that the taste was not bad, so he casually asked.
This restaurant was actually located in a rather remote area, and only an experienced citizen would be able to find it unless they lived nearby. However, the villa Shen Feng had arranged for PEI GE was not very close to this place …
“Shen Feng, he …” PEI GE replied without thinking.
PEI GE only realized that it was not appropriate to call out that name, so she cleared her throat and retracted her chopsticks.””Shen Feng often goes on business trips, and Ning Yuan and I often go to restaurants. This restaurant was also recommended to me by Linda when she was still around. One day, Wenxin, Ning Yuan, and I came here. The three of us have been traveling abroad, so we fell in love with this kind of home-cooked food for the first time. When I was working at the Ji group, we often came to visit. ”
“That’s right. This little girl is my regular customer!” While they were talking, the owner of the restaurant came over to greet them.
Attracted by the voice, the two put down their chopsticks and raised their heads.
PEI GE smiled and greeted the chubby middle-aged woman before her. She was the owner of the restaurant, and because she often saw her bringing Cheng Ningyuan and Wenxin to the restaurant, she remembered this pure and pleasant little girl.
PEI GE was already in her thirties, but due to her natural beauty and good maintenance, she looked to be in her early 20s this morning. It was no wonder that Ji Ziming and Shen Feng were so in love with her.
“Lady boss, you’ve come personally again today!” PEI GE sat up straight and politely asked the question, acting as if they were very familiar with each other.
The lady boss warmly patted her shoulder and gave her a meaningful smile. She then looked at the man sitting opposite her and asked,””Hey, girl, didn’t you bring that noisy couple over for dinner today? is this your new boyfriend?”
Feeling embarrassed at the lady boss’s teasing, she laughed dryly at the man and explained,””Oh … No, lady boss, you’ve misunderstood. We’re not in that kind of relationship. He …” She looked at the man with embarrassment again. He’s my superior. I’m tired of Western food, so I brought him here to try the dishes of your restaurant.”
Seeing that he did not bother to explain himself and that the lady boss was looking at her in disbelief, she added,””Ah, my boss said that your dishes are very special and are definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants in A city. To me, this evaluation is a very high praise for your restaurant. You know, our boss is very picky with his words!”
