1943 Senior Brother Shen, Have We Picked Up a Treasure?
Ji Ziyin opened her mouth.
She had asked Cao Yanhua out for a meal many times, but the other party was about to leave before she could achieve her goal.
However, Cao Yanhua did not give her a chance to ask him to stay. He took his jacket from the back of the chair and apologized to her again. Then, his cell phone rang again. This time, it was a call.
He picked up the call and said hurriedly, “I’m outside. I’ll be right back.”
“Junior Sister Ji, I’ll leave first.” With that, he ignored Ji Ziyin and the others, picked up his things, and left the private room in a hurry.
Since Cao Yanhua had left, Ji Ziyin’s motive for treating them to a meal today was all for naught.
Her temples throbbed violently. She closed her eyes and could not recover for a long time.
The manager did not force her to leave, but he also did not leave.
It was obvious that he was waiting for them to leave.
Ji Ziyin’s face grew dark after she regained her senses. She picked up her bag and said to the others, “Let’s go.”
That was equivalent to admitting that she had been slapped today!
No one else dared to provoke her. They could only take their things and follow her.
They were majestic when they arrived, but they actually gave off the illusion that they were fleeing when they left.

In another private room.
The waiter served top-notch oolong tea again. In addition, he changed the dishes to the Seaview Pavilion’s signature dishes.
The Seaview Pavilion was famous throughout the Independent Continent for its signature dishes.
If a private room was difficult to reserve, then Seaview Pavilion’s signature dishes were even more difficult to reserve. They were the kind that one could not eat even if they wanted to.
Shen Qingfeng and Xue Zhu looked at each other for a moment before recovering from their shock.
Xue Zhu opened her mouth and looked at the table full of delicacies. She couldn’t help but ask the girl, “Qiao Nian, do you know the manager?”
She had just put down her phone when Xue Zhu muttered this question. She looked up and placed her fingers on the cell phone case before slowly retracting her hand. “Not really.”
Xue Zhu heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she immediately felt that something was wrong.
Qiao Nian didn’t know the manager. Then, why was the manager so respectful to her just now? He was even so careful.
“Then—”
“I know their boss.” Qiao Nian picked up her chopsticks. She did not think that she had said anything shocking. She even added, “Eat more.”
“Oh.” Xue Zhu grabbed her chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish belly. Her hand trembled and she almost lost her grip. She was still in a daze.
It seemed like she knew the boss of the Seaview Pavilion. This was even more shocking than knowing the manager!
Qiao Nian did not say who the boss of the Seaview Pavilion was and how she knew him. Shen Qingfeng and Xue Zhu also did not ask.
After the meal.
Shen Qingfeng and Xue Zhu did not chat much after that. They had been digesting what had happened today and were about to separate from the girl.
The two of them prepared to return to the research institute.
Halfway there, Xue Zhu suddenly stopped. Shen Qingfeng, unable to hide his excitement, said, “Xu Yi actually didn’t come today. I think this newcomer is extraordinary. Have we picked up a treasure?!”
Shen Qingfeng’s mind was blank. He did not answer for a long time. After a while, he took a deep breath and said, “It’s fine as long as the two of us know what happened today. Don’t tell anyone else in the research institute.”
