“Mr. Su, are you busy?”
“Whoa. Dr. Huo, what can I do for you?”
“Would you come out and have supper with us? My treat.”
“Haha. You’re inviting me to have supper? Is the sun rising from the west?”
“You sound as if I’m a miser.” Huo Mian was exasperated.
“Dr. Huo, do you have a secret agenda?”
“Yeah, do you dare to come?”
“Of course. I’d eat poison if you buy it for me.”
“Great. Then Mr. Qin and I will wait for you in room 808, Xiang Jiang Garden. Bring An with you since it’s just a supper for friends.”
“Okay. See you in a while.”
Hanging up, Su Yu stood up. “Let’s go and get a big meal for free.”
“A big meal for free?” An was confused.
“Vice Director Huo, who earns one million a year, is inviting us to have supper.”
“President Huo’s inviting us? Will Lu Yan be there?” An blurted out the first thought on his mind.
“Damn it. Can you think of anything else? How can Lu Yan be there? She has been gone for days.”
An scratched his head bashfully.
“Go and bring my car out of the parking lot and wait for me at the gate.”
“Wait. President Su, you have an appointment with some producers to talk about the new movie,” An reminded him.
“Tell them I’ll meet them another day.”
“Do you think it’s wise? They got the appointment a week ago.”
“I’ll go see them after supper. Ask someone to take them to have fun in Seductive Fox and I’ll be there later.”
“Okay.”
An knew his boss was always eager to see Dr. Huo.
The Xiang Jiang Garden restaurant was chosen by Mrs. Su.
Decorated in Chinese style, the place looked antiqued and elegant.
Mrs. Su dropped Han Yueyao at the gate and left with the car.
Huo Mian and Qin Chu saw Han Yueyao waiting in the lobby.
On their way here, Huo Mian had briefed the whole thing to Qin Chu.
Mr. Qin thought they must help Mrs. Su since they were indebted to Su Yu.
“Sister Mian, is this your husband?”
“Yeah.”
“Wow… He’s so handsome…” The young girl was open with her appreciation of Qin Chu’s good looks.
But Huo Mian liked her straightforwardness, thinking it was better than scheming behind her back.
“Let’s go in. They’ll be here soon.”
“Okay.”
“Miss Han,” Huo Mian began.
“Please call me Yao.”
“Yao, did Aunt Su tell you what to say in a minute?”
“Yeah. I’ll say I’m your distant cousin, so I can enter President Su’s company.”
“Okay. Good.”
Five minutes after they entered the compartment, Su Yu arrived and took a seat next to Qin Chu.
“Come on. Read the menu and order whatever you want.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll pick the most expensive dishes. I’m here to rob the rich,” Su Yu joked.
“No problem. Go ahead. By the way, Mr. Su, this is Han Yueyao, my distant cousin.”
“Huo Mian, can you tell me how many sisters and cousins you have? Are you the seven fairies descending into the mortal world?”
“Hahaha! That’s nonsense. Her name is Han Yueyao, and she just graduated from a dancing academy.”
“Hello, Su Yu,” the young girl greeted him politely.
“Hello.”
Su Yu nodded at her and resumed reading the menu.
“Mr. Su, I need to ask you a favor.” Huo Mian thought it was time to broach the topic.
“Humph. I knew you were up to no good when you asked me out for supper.”
“How can you say that? The favor I ask from you is a good thing.”
“Tell me about it but I can’t promise that I will help you,” Su Yu said jokingly.
“It’s fine. If you don’t help me, the meal is on you,” Huo Mian responded.
Su Yu: “…”
