Chapter 110 - Zhang Yu Han was Acting Strange

The meeting ended in the afternoon. As everyone else started to disperse, Li Qin Yao turned to Liang Sheng and instructed him to gather everyone for lunch.

As they have won the bidding, it was only proper for her to take everyone to lunch and thanked everyone for their hard work. From the moment her grandfather proposed her to take that project until the day they submitted their tender, everyone in QL B City Branch had worked hard.

Once Liang Sheng went away to give everyone else a call, Li Qin Yao continued to receive congratulatory wishes from the others. It took her a while before she could excuse herself from that situation. Li Qin Yao turned around and took out her phone from her bag. Before she could look at the contact list, Li Qin Yao saw that Zhang Yu Han was standing at one of the pillars, watching her.

Li Qin Yao pushed a few strands of hair behind her ears and slid her phone back into her purse before she walked over to Zhang Yu Han. "Sorry. Have you waited long?"

Zhang Yu Han shook his head. "It's fine."

"Liang Sheng booked a place to lunch, would you like to come along?"

Zhang Yu Han stared at her face for a while before he answered, "Sure."

"Let's go." Li Qin Yao went after Zhang Yu Han as the man led her towards his vehicle.

As Li Qin Yao stared at Zhang Yu Han's back, she could not help but think that Zhang Yu Han was acting a bit strange. Ever since he came over to pick her up that morning, Li Qin Yao could feel that Zhang Yu Han was looking at her strangely.

She could sense that Zhang Yu Han had something to tell, but he would only stare and not say anything. Looking at the way he acted, Li Qin Yao was worried.

Just as they were approaching the Cayenne, Zhang Yu Han's phone rang. He took it out and slid his finger on the screen.

"Grandfather," Zhang Yu Han answered nonchalantly. He opened the door for Li Qin Yao as he listened. "Hmm… yes… Grandfather, you should ask her yourself." After a while, Zhang Yu Han glanced at Li Qin Yao and handed his phone to her. "Grandfather wants to talk to you."

Li Qin Yao stared at the phone before she took the phone from Zhang Yu Han. "Hello? Grandfather?"

"I heard from Yu Han that you won the bidding. Congratulations," Zhang Jing spoke and laughed merrily.

"Thank you, grandfather. Well, if it was not for your help, perhaps I would not be able to join the bidding." Li Qin Yao's lips curved into a smile as she recalled how Zhang Jing had persuaded her to tell him more about the project when she was still thinking about finding suitable partners. "Grandfather, thank you."

"Well, if you wanted to thank me, then you should come over to my house to celebrate and have dinner together," Zhang Jing said. "Let's have a barbecue. I'll cook. You don't know this, but I'm pretty good at barbecuing."

Li Qin Yao hesitated. "Grandfather, I did not want to trouble you."

Zhang Jing laughed. "It's no trouble. To tell you the truth, Yu Han usually controlled my diet and would not let me eat too much meat," he took a deep breath and sighed. As an elder, Zhang Jing knew that the best way to make the younger generation to listen to his words was to gain their pity. "I haven't had barbecued meat for a long time, and I thought that I could use winning the bidding as an excuse to use the grill in the back yard." He paused and let out another heavy sigh. "Don't worry. Yu Ying, Wei Jun Hao, and a few others will be here as well."

Li Qin Yao glanced at Zhang Yu Han who seemed so focused on his driving. It was then that she recalled how Zhang Yu Han had once mentioned that his grandfather was good at barbecuing.

However, since Zhang Jing was inviting her to dinner, Li Qin Yao knew that there was a chance that it will end late. Knowing Zhang's family, Li Qin Yao did not doubt that both Zhang Jing and Zhang Yu Han will insist to send her back home when it was time for her to go back. Knowing that B City and Y City was not that close, she did not want to trouble Zhang Yu Han.

When she thought of how she had not seen Zhang Jing and how he had helped her to win, Li Qin Yao finally agreed. After all, she can always stay at Han Yue Xiu's place for a night. "Alright. I'll see you later, grandfather."

When he heard that she had agreed, Zhang Yu Han's lips tilted up.

As Zhang Yu Han drove towards the restaurant, Li Qin Yao continued to chat with Zhang Jing. It was until they have reached their destination that Li Qin Yao bid her goodbye and handed Zhang Yu Han's phone back to him.

"Grandfather invited me to his house for dinner and I agreed," Li Qin Yao spoke as Zhang Yu Han helped to open her door.

"Did he invite you over for a barbecue?" Zhang Yu Han smiled as he watched her nodded. "It's good that you agreed."

"Of course. Previously, you told me that I shouldn't decline his invitation if he invited me to come over for a barbecue."

The smile on Zhang Yu Han's lips widened. He placed his hands on her shoulders and quickly retreated before Li Qin Yao could notice it. "Come on. The others have been waiting for you."

When the two of them walked into the private room together, everyone from Li Qin Yao's office started to exchange their glance. As the onlookers, it was not hard for them to see that Director Zhang was trying to pursue their boss. Everyone was not blind. They could tell by the way Zhang Yu Han was looking at their boss when Li Qin Yao did not notice.

However, none of them dared to say a thing.

The group had their food and drink as they chatted together.

After a while, Li Qin Yao thanked everyone for their hard work and mentioned that since they had won the bidding, their work will only get busier. Everyone in the room listened to their boss's speech with focus and clapped as it ended.

Just as Li Qin Yao was talking with one of her employees, her phone rang. Seeing the name on the screen, Li Qin Yao excused herself and walked out of the room. She took a deep breath and answered the call. "Hello, grandfather."

"Hmm…"

"I called you earlier, but Assistant Liang said you were in a meeting."

"I know," Li Ren Xin spoke. "I heard from Assistant Liang that you won the bid. Congratulations."

"Thank you."

"Yao Yao, since you have won the bid, come back to Capital City. I am planning to announce about your winning to the shareholders soon. They are going to have some questions."

Li Qin Yao nodded. "Then, I'll come back next week once I arrange everything here."
