The elevator went up to the 38th floor and turned the corner to where they wanted to go, the Italian restaurant called Feeling.
The restaurant was surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass, allowing you to see the entire city from a panoramic view within the two hours of automatic rotation. Li Mengqi was a little scared, but she still liked the view. Her small face kept looking out, and then she looked away.
"You like it here?" Li Mingjie couldn't help but ask as he looked away from the dining plate.
"En!" She nodded. She had fallen in love with this place unabashedly ever since she had come here to eat the memorable lasagna. However, she obviously wouldn't say such a thing in front of Li Mingjie.
"What do you want to eat?" Li Mingjie's words interrupted her train of thoughts. She lightly pointed at the exquisite dining plates and recommended a few dishes.
"Alright, then that's it." Li Mingjie didn't have any objections, and quickly took the order.
Actually, the two of them did not have a close personal relationship, and they both belonged to the category of taciturn people who were unfamiliar with each other. Now that they no longer had a working relationship, they were unable to find any topics to talk about.
The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward. Fortunately, in less than ten minutes, Fang Menglin had arrived.
Although Li Mengqi had told him in advance that she would have a friend, Li Mingjie did not expect it to be Fang Menglin from the elegant advertising company. With his shrewdness, he quickly figured out Li Mengqi's purpose for inviting him out for a meal. Although he was disappointed, he didn't reveal it as he greeted Fang Menglin in a very friendly manner.
Fang Menglin was someone who could grasp opportunities very well. It wasn't easy for Li Mengqi to tie him up, so of course she wouldn't let it go. Halfway through her meal, she brought up the subject of the project cooperation. Seeing this, Li Mengqi made an excuse to go to the washroom. Unexpectedly, after coming out of the washroom, she met Money Officer Shen at the corner.
It was really a narrow path for enemies. If he were to go out today, he should have a look at the calendars.
"Yo, host Li, how could there be such a coincidence? Why can we even meet each other here?"
The money officer was leaning against the wall in front of her, blocking her way. He was still the same noble young master with his hands in his pockets and a lazy smile on his face.
"Can you step aside?" Li Mengqi frowned, not hiding the disgust in her eyes.
"I only ate half of that day's meal. It's not as good as hitting the sun, so why don't you accompany me for lunch?" He narrowed his eyes as he sized her up.
"I'm not familiar with you to the point that we can eat together anytime. We're not the same people. Please don't come back in the future. "Bind me!" she warned harshly, her face cold.
"If you know me, you might think I'm right for you." When Minister Shen Qian said this, his carefree and handsome face revealed a rare hint of seriousness.
Normally, as long as he waved his hand, there would be countless women coming after him. When had he ever chased after a woman before? Merely, the woman before him was truly extraordinary. He truly admired her from the bottom of his heart and wanted to approach her. However, she was someone who he would always be stumped by.
"My apologies, I have no interest in you, please …"
Before Li Mengqi could finish her sentence, a shadow flashed past. She didn't even have the time to react before Minister Shen Qian was sent flying with a heavy punch to the ground.
"Eldest Brother — —" Li Mengqi cried out in alarm. She had not expected his eldest brother to appear here. She wanted to go over and hold him back, but Li Jianzhong was one step ahead of her. He walked in front of the bank official who had just stood up and grabbed him by the collar, his eyes almost spitting fire. "You bastard, you dare to harass my sister?"
"Li Sir, you are such a beautiful lady, how can you speak so harshly?" A bewitching smile still hung on his face as blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. It made him look even more relaxed. Uninhibited and unrestrained, reflected in the righteous Li Jianzhong's eyes, he was simply a live, clothed bird. Beast.
"You are not worthy!" Li Jianzhong almost squeezed out these words through his gritted teeth. How could the little sister that he cared for since he was young be someone that a scum like Bank of Shen could get his hands on? When he thought here, he became extremely angry and swung his fist at the beast.
Minister Shen Qian did not even try to dodge. After taking a few solid punches from Li Jianzhong, he pushed him back with a backhand move, taking a few steps back in a natural and unrestrained manner.
"Lee Sir, as a law enforcement officer, hitting someone in public for no reason at all. This is against the law." "The scene of you exchanging punches with me just now was probably recorded by the cameras. If it was on the internet, I believe the public will be very interested in the famous Li sir!"
"Are you threatening me?" Li Jianzhong's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
"To say that the threat is too serious. "I just thought it would be nice to get in the headlines with you. After all, the public figures --"
"I'm warning you, if you dare to attack my sister, I'll definitely watch you till you die!"
Li Jianzhong was so agitated by these words that his eyes turned red. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush over, but fortunately, Li Mengqi held him back in time.
"Aren't you always staring at the street?" "All these years, thanks to Li's protection, we have been able to sleep peacefully. You're not right, are you, streamer Li? "
"Bank of Shen, that's enough! It's not good for anyone to make a fuss. "My big brother beat you up, I apologize on his behalf. If you need compensation —"
"Qiqi!" Li Jianzhong sternly cut her off as he glared fiercely at the money manager, "Don't think about attacking my sister in the future, or else I'll be a police officer." Even the police will not let you off! "
After he finished speaking, he grabbed Li Mengqi and left with big strides.
Her big brother had always been an extremely calm person, and he had always had a sense of propriety when doing things. But this time, because she had beaten up the money manager, it could be seen how much he hated these dark factions, and was even more afraid that she would be related to them …
If her brother found out that she was involved with Qi Junhao in private, the consequences would be even worse than this! Even though she had considered this question before, it had yet to happen after all, so she didn't have any specific ideas in her head. However, after witnessing it with her own eyes, the shock in her heart couldn't be described with words.
"How far away are we from these people in the future? Do you understand?" After walking for a short distance, Li Jianzhong released his sister's hand and sincerely urged her on …
Well, I will protect myself. "But you …" Li Mengqi bit her lip, hesitating to speak. She didn't think that money official Shen would deliberately beat up her big brother. If he were to expose the video, or go to the police station and complain about it, it would affect her big brother's police department. "A career in police affairs …
"Don't worry, everything will be fine!" Li Jianzhong's expression softened as he patted her head to comfort her. A trace of seriousness quietly flashed across his handsome and threatening face.
It would be difficult to deal with an official like General Shen with just money. With the addition of Qi Junhao, if they really wanted to cause a ruckus in A City, perhaps even the police would be able to deal with them. Even Fang Jun found it hard to resist...
