Chen Lei’s nanny prepared dinner. To entertain Jian Ai, she had put in some effort. The dishes were rich and diverse, and there was also a dish of nutritious turtle soup.
At the dining table, because Chen Qidong was also present, they chatted about some ordinary topics. Liu Lin sat beside Jian Ai and helped her pick up food from time to time. The smile on Chen Lei’s face did not fade, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
However, when Chen Qidong saw how kind his parents were to Jian Ai, he scoffed in his heart. If he told his parents about the rumors in school, they would be shocked.
Although he thought that, Chen Qidong could not help but glance at Jian Ai. Looking at her light smile, her smooth forehead seemed to shine under the chandelier on the dining table.
Her bright eyes were especially attractive.
It had to be said that looking at her from such a close distance, Chen Qidong also felt that Jian Ai was beautiful.
It was not the kind that attracted people’s looks at a glance, but the more one looked at it, the better they looked.
“Qidong, you’re an elder brother. Take care of Xiao Ai in school, okay?”
Chen Lei suddenly said these words to Chen Qidong.
Chen Qidong was in a daze. When he heard this, he quickly retracted his gaze from Jian Ai and instinctively nodded. “Got it.”
Although he said that, he sneered in his heart. Did she need him to take care of her?
She heard that the handsome man who appeared in school two days ago was her rich second-generation heir boyfriend. With just a phone call, Liu Na’s family went bankrupt!
Liu Na happened to be his classmate, so Chen Qidong heard this from Jin Xin immediately.
With such a powerful second-generation heir boyfriend as her backing, the entire Erzhong was hiding from her like a god of plague. Who would dare to cause trouble for her?
Of course, these were just Chen Qidong’s thoughts. He couldn’t say them out loud.
Jian Ai did not care about Chen Qidong’s thoughts. She was only here because of Chen Lei’s appointment. Even if she knew that Uncle Chen had a son studying in Erzhong, she would still come over.
Chen Qidong finished his meal quickly and went out with a basketball.
Seeing this, Liu Lin smiled at Jian Ai and said, “My son usually likes sports. He goes to the basketball court in the neighborhood to play basketball with others every day.”
Seeing that his son had left, Chen Lei put down his bowl and chopsticks. He looked at Jian Ai and said, “Xiao Ai, Manager Bai told you about the collaboration, right?”
Jian Ai nodded. “He told me immediately. I asked them to draft the contract as soon as possible. If nothing goes wrong, we can sign the contract in two days.”
“Great!” Chen Lei smiled and nodded. He couldn’t help but share his thoughts with Jian Ai. “Your company has just been established, and it won’t be easy to step into the construction material industry. Establishing a construction team of a certain scale is even more difficult, so Uncle Chen wants to ask you if you have the intention to embark on a long-term collaboration with our Century Group?”
Chen Lei initially thought that Jian Ai would think twice or come up with conditions that would be more beneficial to her, but Jian Ai immediately nodded and agreed. “That’s naturally for the best. With Uncle Chen’s support, the early operations of East Sea Real Estate can save a lot of trouble and effort.”
Jian Ai’s straightforwardness stunned Chen Lei. When he regained his senses, he laughed out loud. “Xiao Ai, you’re bold!”
“It’s just that…” Unexpectedly, Jian Ai suddenly blinked and looked at Chen Lei. She paused for a moment before slowly saying, “Uncle Chen, I hope you can give me a house in Haicheng District. It’s best if it’s near Yizhong. About a hundred square meters will do. If the renovations are done, it’ll be even more perfect.”
