Chapter 69 The Tomboy's Phone Call

  Zhong Xiaofei went directly to Meiyi Restaurant. Although it was still early now, he needed to make some advance arrangements to give He Peini a little surprise.

  Mei Yi Restaurant is a high-end restaurant, decorated in a classical and luxurious style. Upon entering the restaurant, the first thing you see is a grand hall with a Jiangnan garden-style design, complete with bamboo forests, artificial hills, and slender rocks, interspersed with winding corridors. It's as if you can still hear the gentle sound of flowing water beside your ears. Dining in such an environment, I believe every guest will feel extremely delighted.

  Although it's just past five o'clock and not yet time for dinner, there are already quite a few diners seated in the restaurant's dining hall.

  Zhong Xiaofei reserved a table for two and instructed the waiter accordingly.

  At this time, the mobile phone rang, and when I took it out, it was Xiaowei's text message.

  "Sister-in-law, I'll stay with Yijie to work overtime, don't wait for me."

  Xiao Wei followed Wu Yi Jie to entertain the company's shareholders at the Jun Yue Hotel. To be honest, Zhong Xiao Fei was worried in his heart. Xiao Wei and Wu Yi Jie were both beautiful women of different sizes who were his forbidden fruit. As soon as he thought that these two beauties would accompany other men for a drink, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

  But there's no way around it, this is what beautiful women are for.

  In addition, Zhong Xiaofei felt a little resentful in his heart because he was not invited to attend tonight's dinner party. Otherwise, he could have protected the beauties on the spot and observed the reactions of the shareholders, guessing which side they would stand on, Yang Tianzeng or Li Sanshi? After all, in the battle for the chairman's seat, whether or not to win over enough shareholder support is crucial. This point, both Yang Tianzeng and Li Sanshi are very clear about it. So tonight's shareholder dinner party will definitely not be simple. I believe this is also the reason why Wu Yijie attended the dinner party. Otherwise, with her pride, even if the shareholders invited her, she might not have participated.

  "Don't drink. If you must, pretend to be drunk and go home early." Zhong Xiaofei sent a message back to Xiao Wei.

  After a while, Xiaowei replied with a message, "Got it, I'm not a kid."

  After handing over to Xiao Wei, Zhong Xiaofei finally felt at ease. As for Wu Yijie, he wasn't worried at all. With Wu Yijie's abilities, handling such a situation would be a piece of cake.

  "Sir, it's a total of 980 yuan," said the waiter politely.

  Zhong Xiaofei paid the money, although a bit cautious, but in order to please He Peini, and to give He Peini a surprise, this money had to be spent.

  Everything was set, and there were still 30 minutes until the agreed time. The boy and girl had a date, but girls usually don't arrive early. A smart and beautiful girl like He Peini would definitely not arrive early, so Zhong Xiaofei stood beside the artificial hill in the restaurant, narrowing his eyes to appreciate the beauties dining inside.

  It's just as well to be idle anyway.

  Needless to say, there are many beauties. Mei Yi Restaurant is a well-known high-end restaurant in Haizhou, and handsome men and beautiful women all like to dine here.

  The phone rang, it was Chen Hao calling. Chen Hao reported to him that everything is ready for work, and if there's any fluctuation in the price of American soybeans, he will report to him immediately.

  Zhong Xiaofei encouraged Chen Hao with two sentences, made two jokes, and then hung up the phone.

  Chen Hao is still very reassuring to work with. As a high-achieving student from the same university of finance, and entering TY company at the same time, although Zhong Xiaofei was more confident in his analysis ability in stocks and futures than Chen Hao, but when it comes to being diligent and meticulous at work, he is actually not as good as Chen Hao. However, both Chen Hao and him have been unlucky, having been with the company for three years without any promotion. Now that he has given Chen Hao an opportunity, he believes Chen Hao will definitely not let it slip away.

  Just finished talking with Chen Hao, the phone rang again, this time it was Xu Jiajia who called.

  This madwoman hasn't spoken with Zhong Xiaofei for a long time.

  Zhong Xiaofei answered, "Hello? Who is this?" Pretending not to know it was Xu Jiajia.

  "Dead man! Isn't it great to get promoted and rich? You're so happy that you've already forgotten who I am, right?" Xu Jiajia asked fiercely on the other end of the phone.

  "Oh," Zhong Xiaofei suddenly realized and said: "Crazy woman, how did you think of calling me?"

  "You won't give me a call, so I'll have to give you a call instead!" Xu Jiajia said viciously. "You didn't even invite me to your promotion celebration, how infuriating! Are you not planning on socializing anymore?"

  Zhong Xiaofei burst out laughing: "Alright, don't be angry anymore. I've already booked the Jun Yue Hotel, but we'll have to wait until Sunday to invite you. You're such a busy person, normally it's hard to find time to invite you."

  "Really?" Xu Jiajia stopped her anger.

  "Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you? How about this Sunday, are you free?"

  "Hmph!" Xu Jiajia snorted heavily, "You still have some conscience."

  "It's settled then, this Sunday, I'll be waiting for you at the Junyue Hotel." Zhong Xiaofei smiled, "Crazy woman, you don't know, it's been several days since we last met, I've missed you to death."

  "Spare me the act! I don't believe you at all," Xu Jiajia said menacingly. "If I hadn't called you, would you have invited me? Are you just trying to deceive me?"

  "How could I?" Zhong Xiaofei said very innocently: "I was just afraid you wouldn't have time, besides, it's only been less than three days since my promotion, can't you let me prepare a bit?"

  "Hmph, you always think you're right! Xu Jiajia said resentfully: 'This time I absolutely won't let you off easy, you'd better prepare your salary for the next month.'"

  "Yes, I obey your orders!" Zhong Xiaofei patted his nonexistent sleeve and shouted in a eunuch-like high-pitched voice.

  Xu Jiajia finally burst out laughing on the other end of the phone: "Relax, Xiao Feizi..."

  "Hey, Empress Dowager, have you been in contact with Concubine Xiao Rong recently?" Zhong Xiaofei asked with a mischievous grin.

  "Li Xiaoran?" Xu Jiajia didn't answer immediately, she paused for a moment before saying slowly, "A few days ago, she did call me once..."

  Zhong Xiaofei immediately tensed up: "What did you say?"

  Nothing, just chit-chatting. She asked about your life, including where you live, if you've lost weight, and if you're still being bullied. Of course, the most important thing is whether or not you have a girlfriend. You can tell she's still very concerned about you... Xu Jiajia chuckled.

  "How did you answer?" Zhong Xiaofei was afraid Xu Jiajia would talk nonsense.

  "How do you want me to answer?" Xu Jiajia smiled.

  Zhong Xiaofei dryly laughed, of course he hoped that Xu Jiajia would speak well of him in order to maintain his glorious image in Li Xiaoran's heart, but he had no control over Xu Jiajia's loose mouth, Xu Jiajia was someone who dared to say anything when she was happy: "You, as long as you don't speak ill of me, I'm satisfied, where would I dare hope?"

  "Hehe, am I that bad? Alright, don't worry, I didn't say anything bad about you, I didn't even have time to put on makeup for you! Besides, Li Xiaoran trusts you so much, even if I did say something bad about you, she wouldn't believe it!" Xu Jiajia chuckled.

  Zhong Xiaofei let out a sigh of relief.

  "But, Zhong Dàguān, you and Xiao Wei living together is not the same thing, right? Shouldn't you find a house for Xiao Wei to move out? Otherwise, when Xiao Rǎn comes, seeing her sister living with you, what kind of situation would that be?" Xu Jiājiā suggested.

  "Uh-huh, I'm looking." Zhong Xiaofei responded vaguely. Want Xiao Wei to move out? No way, Zhong Xiaofei would never do that.

  However, what Xu Jiajia said is also right. If Li Xiaoyan saw her sister and him cohabiting, what would she think? Would she be angry?

  Zhong Xiaofei's mind was a bit muddled.
