However, this was only the first step, and it was still a long way from true cooperation.

Li Mengmeng still vaguely remembered the last time they came to inspect the negotiations, the entire process was filled with struggles and both sides did not yield. Rather than calling it cooperation, it would be more accurate to say that it was a confrontation.

Thinking about that, Li Mengmeng could not help but look at Ke Jianhua's office, and wonder if he would be able to succeed in the negotiations.

Just as Li Mengmeng was worrying for Ke Jianhua in a daze, she suddenly felt a burst of power from his shoulders. Then, she saw Xiao Ling holding her shoulders with both of his hands, staring fixedly at her own face.

Li Mengmeng touched his face suspiciously, "What are you looking at? Is there something wrong with my face? "

"There's nothing wrong with your face, there's something wrong with your eyes!" Xiao Ling craftily blinked her eyes, "The afternoon is once again filled with smoke, don't you want to express something?"

"Why should I? "We're just colleagues, that's all." Li Mengmeng rolled her eyes at Xiao Ling.

Tch, a proper colleague, who would believe that? Do you think we are blind? Even if you, the Goddess, had no intentions, I, the King Xiang, have a dream. " Xiao Ling sighed, and said with grief: "Tell me, why do you think I never had such a good chance?" Li Mengmeng rolled her eyes at Xiao Ling, and was about to say something.

Xiao Ling covered Li Mengmeng's mouth, interrupting her, "Don't say that again, she only has you in her eyes, what use is there even if I want to?"

Li Mengmeng could only shake her head and prepare to get off work.

Li Mengmeng tidied up the table slightly and pressed on the button for the elevator.

Reaching the elevator, Li Mengmeng shouted loudly, "Are you going or not?"

Xiao Ling quickly followed and sighed, "If I were him, I guarantee that I wouldn't care about such a cold person."

Li Mengmeng laughed, "You sound like an experienced person. Don't forget, you are the same as me, you have nothing to do with relationships."

When Xiao Ling heard how Li Mengmeng actually said that she was short, he immediately extended her hands and grabbed Li Mengmeng's arms.

Li Mengmeng didn't show any weakness either. She struggled free from Xiao Ling's pinch, then went to scratch the itch on her abdomen, "You're not any better!"

At this time, everyone had gotten off work, and there were a lot of people surrounding Li Mengmeng and her friends.

Everyone excitedly asked Li Mengmeng, "Aren't we having lunch with President Ke?"

Li Mengmeng did not reply, but why did everyone rush to these gossips like a flock of birds. Xiao Ling, Moya Screen, who else would be behind them?

Why did everyone think that she and Ke Jianhua had that kind of relationship?

Hadn't they discovered that Ke Jianhua hadn't looked for her all morning?

Xiao Ling suddenly said, "I'm sorry! "Of course."

Everyone burst into laughter, "Really? "What's there to be embarrassed about."

Li Mengmeng shot two cold lights towards Xiao Ling, but since Xiao Ling was her best friend, he did not care about her anymore, she only smiled at her.

Li Mengmeng shook her head helplessly. It was fine if she was just spouting nonsense, but Xiao Ling was clearly aware of the inside information, and deliberately added on.

Ke Jianhua put down the documents in his hands, stretched himself, and looked at the time. Originally, he had gotten off work long ago, but after putting on his jacket quickly, he walked out of the office.

Ke Jianhua mumbled to himself so quickly.

Just as she was thinking about where Li Mengmeng would go at noon, Sun Xiaoxiao walked over.

"President Ke, I heard that there's a new restaurant in Five Corner Plaza that has quite a good taste. Shall we go together?"

Ke Jianhua didn't even glance at it as he walked out of the office.

Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of disappointment, but she still followed along.

"I heard everyone went to that restaurant at noon." Sun Xiaoxiao observed Ke Jianhua, "Assistant Li is also among them."

Ke Jianhua still pretended to not have any reaction, but a cold smile flashed past his eyes. He wants to avoid me, there's no way.

Sun Xiaoxiao did not bother anymore after she finished speaking, she knew her words were effective.

After the elevator door to the first floor opened, Sun Xiaoxiao saw that Ke Jianhua had indeed driven the blue Porsche towards the direction of the Five Corner Plaza. Soon after, her mouth curved into a sneer. She also drove his car and followed him, like a spy following a tail, not too far away and not too far away.

My god, it's really here.

Ke Jianhua saw from afar that a few assistants were seated around him, talking and laughing as they ate. No one noticed his arrival at all.

Ke Jianhua saw the awkward Li Mengmeng, it was obvious that she did not like this kind of occasion.

In order to avoid him, she had forced herself to do so.

Very quickly, Sun Xiaoxiao also followed along. Naturally, she also saw Li Mengmeng and couldn't help but tighten her grip.

Seeing everyone trying to please Li Mengmeng, Sun Xiaoxiao was even more furious. That place should have been hers.

Just as everyone was happily eating, someone suddenly shushed them and pointed at Ke Jianhua and Sun Xiaoxiao.

Everyone then saw that Ke Jianhua and Sun Xiaoxiao were still outside the door.

"They came together?" Someone began to mutter, and naturally looked at Li Mengmeng.

Seeing that Ke Jianhua had arrived, Li Mengmeng's heart tightened. That kind of casual manner made her feel danger.

Ke Jianhua indifferently walked towards everyone.

Sun Xiaoxiao followed closely behind, and discovered that when Li Mengmeng looked at her, she had already revealed a complacent expression, and her intention of showing off was very obvious.

Li Mengmeng quickly lowered her head to eat.

The assistant saw that Li Mengmeng had revealed her fear, so they said loudly, "Everyone, don't worry, Li Mengmeng will not lose to our team leader. Don't you realize that President Ke and our team leader are very far away? And there's no trace of a smile on her face, so it's clear that they didn't come together. "

After such a small exchange of pointers, everyone felt that it was reasonable, so they returned to the lively situation from before.

"My guess is, the President Ke deliberately came to find Li Mengmeng!" Someone said so.

Immediately, a response came, "Right, right, why didn't I think of that!? It's clear that team leader is just following you around! "

At this time, Ke Jianhua had already arrived beside them, and everyone immediately became silent, before casting their gaze at Li Mengmeng at the same time.

At this time, Sun Xiaoxiao became unhappy, "President Ke, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

How could a dignified CEO sit in this kind of hall and eat such light food?

But Ke Jianhua didn't pay any attention to what Sun Xiaoxiao said, and only stared fixedly at him.

The person seated beside Li Mengmeng tugged on the corner of her clothes and said softly, "The President Ke is here!"

Li Mengmeng still lowered her head, pretending that she didn't hear anything, but the movements in her hands betrayed her.

What the hell? Why did he keep going on and on?

Even if he had lunch with his colleagues, he would still bump into them?

Originally, she did not want to come here. However, due to her colleagues being too friendly, she was forcefully dragged here by them.

"President Ke!" One by one, they greeted Ke Jianhua.

Now, it was impossible for Li Mengmeng to pretend that she did not hear her.

What made her even more sad was that her colleague beside Li Mengmeng actually gave her a seat.

Li Mengmeng only needed the corner of her eye to see Ke Jianhua's clothes, but she already felt a cold killing intent attacking him.

"Assistant Li? The food here is so attractive to you? " Ke Jianhua said indifferently, but his tone still carried clear dissatisfaction.

Li Mengmeng lifted his head, glanced at Ke Jianhua, then lowered it.

Ke Jianhua, on the other hand, did not care. He rolled up his sleeves and sat down.

Sun Xiaoxiao could no longer keep her face straight. She was so busy giving up her seat for Ke Jianhua, and no one bothered with her, treating her as if she did not exist.

This result greatly exceeded Sun Xiaoxiao's expectations. Originally, she wanted to let that group of people see her eating alone with Ke Jianhua, but she didn't expect Ke Jianhua to ignore his identity as the CEO and sit in this kind of ordinary hall seat.

How could she have thought that Ke Jianhua would make such a huge sacrifice for Li Mengmeng?

However, things had already gotten to this point, and there was nothing she could do about it. She could only angrily stand to the side.

After a long while, someone pretended to have just noticed Sun Xiaoxiao and said, "Sis Sun, you're here too. "Which one of you wants to give a seat to Sis Sun? Sis Sun wants to eat with us." Although those words were spoken, no one gave up their seats.

Someone even retorted, "Why don't you give up yourself?"

Those who were refuted that they did not want to give up their seats immediately stood up and called for the waiter, "Hurry up and get a chair for you!"

The waiter walked over with a chair, but after realizing that there was no place to place it, he looked at everyone with a troubled expression.

No one replied, but Li Mengmeng suddenly stood up and gave her a seat, "Sis Sun, please sit with me."

Sun Xiaoxiao secretly rejoiced in her heart, after all, her trip here wasn't in vain.

Just as Li Mengmeng was about to leave, Ke Jianhua spoke out, "Why are you not eating enough, how can you face this delicacy?", he shot at everyone's eyes, then shouted at the waiter, "Bring me a few more delicious dishes, I'll buy all of them."

Therefore, they all strongly advised Li Mengmeng to stay. "Li Mengmeng, do not be in a hurry to leave. Eat till full in the afternoon, only then will you have the strength to fight a hard battle."

"You're so thin, it's fine even if you eat more."

Everyone enthusiastically advised Li Mengmeng, who was not in a position to refuse everyone's face, and could only sit back down, staring at Ke Jianhua.

But in everyone's eyes, this look was a mutual understanding between lovers.

Sun Xiaoxiao's face was stiff as she glared fiercely at Li Mengmeng. Her colleague who was sitting beside her shifted their seats slightly, distancing themselves from her. Everyone would rather squeeze a little than sit too close to Sun Xiaoxiao, just like how Sun Xiaoxiao had leprosy that would infect them.

Sun Xiaoxiao was so mad, her nails fiercely grabbed onto her own bag. She really wanted to quickly leave this place that made her angry, but she couldn't. She knew that everyone would wish that she would be the best if she was not present, but she did not let them have their way. Why was it that with the difference in treatment between her and Li Mengmeng, one of them wanted to stay, while the other wished to drive them away?

It's not easy for me, so don't even think about it, so Sun Xiaoxiao sat down steadily.

The group of people then sat back in their respective seats and started to eat while talking and laughing.

Sun Xiaoxiao, Ke Jianhua, and Li Mengmeng, however, did not talk much.

Ke Jianhua did not care about this kind of awkward silence at all. He only gave Li Mengmeng dishes from time to time, but Sun Xiaoxiao's face was covered densely in black clouds.

Li Mengmeng reached her hand out to pinch Ke Jianhua, but he acted as if nothing had happened and continued doing her own thing.
