When Shen Huan received Zhou Yu's phone call, he had just stopped the car in front of Yingwang International Building. He said: "Okay, you come to Yingwang International, we'll wait for you..."

  "Is anyone else coming over?" Zhao Dong asked, sitting in the same car as Shen Hua, who was on a phone call with Zhou Yu.

  "It seems that the news of our project at Jianggang Wharf has spread, and Zhou Yu is rushing over, saying he wants to introduce someone to me," Shen Huai said with a smile. "Apart from Zhou Xiaobai, I can't think of anyone else. Why don't we make tonight's dinner a bit more luxurious? After all, we'll just let Zhou Xiaobai foot the bill later?"

  Sun Yalin and Yang Haipeng both parked their cars and walked over, seeing Shen Hua talking to Zhao Dong with a sly smile on his face. They asked: "Who are you plotting against, smiling so mysteriously?"

  Shen Huai touched his cheek and looked at Chen Dan, asking: "Did I smile very strangely?"

  Zhao Dong said: "Tang Zha District's Deputy Director Zhou, will you be bringing someone over later?"

  Chen Dan asked worriedly, "Is it appropriate to invite someone here?" They were just having a private dinner today, and they had deliberately chosen the Ying Huang International Hotel to invite Shen Huai.

  Mei Creek Town has been merged into Tangzhai District for half a month, and the deputy head of Tangzhai District is naturally Shen Huai's superior. She was worried that they would gather at Ying Huang International to have a meal, which would not be respectful enough to others.

  "Is that Zhou Yu we met in Nan Garden last time?" Xiao Mingxia asked, leaning over. Seeing Zhao Dong nodding, she sighed and said, "That woman is so beautiful, I didn't expect a female official to be so beautiful..."

  Sun Ya Lin had never met Zhou Yu before, but after hearing what Xiao Ming Xia said, she knew where the difference lay. She glanced at Shen Huai and almost wrote "I know you're not a good guy" on her face.

  The second floor of Yingwang International is also one of the few high-end catering places in Donghua.

  The receptionist at the entrance didn't think it was strange that there were female guests either, and after confirming that Shen Huan and his group were there to dine, she directly sent them to the second floor.

  From the hall to the private room, he didn't meet Yang Lili, Shen Huai let out a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of Chen Dan's curiosity, but rather feared that Sun Ya Lin's curiosity would also be stirred up: some things, once Sun Ya Lin gets involved, are mostly not good.

  Unfortunately, Shen Hua didn't even have two minutes to congratulate himself before the waitress handed over two menus. Yang Lili pushed open the door and came in, enthusiastically saying to Shen Hua: "Secretary Shen, you're here for dinner, why didn't you call ahead of time to let me know? I would have arranged a private room for you..."

  "It's just a few friends having dinner, no need to be so troublesome," Shen Huan said lightly, looking at Yang Lili with the menu in hand, "If you have something to attend to, go ahead and don't bother entertaining us..."

  Yang Lili glanced at Sun Yalin as she turned around.

  Chen Dan was very mindful of keeping a distance from Shen Huan in front of outsiders. Even when sitting on either side of Shen Huan with Sun Ya Lin, she kept a distance of about a foot, looking like they were not interfering with each other's business. When Yang Lili entered the room, Chen Dan just glanced at her and then turned back to discuss wedding arrangements with Xiao Mingxia, seemingly ignoring Yang Lili's presence.

  Sun Yalin and Shen Huan seemed to be more intimate. After entering the private room, she took off her coat and was still wearing a bank uniform inside, with a small flower collar black and white striped shirt, tight skirt and stockings on the bottom, sitting there, looking charming and sexy. She was leaning over to talk to Shen Huan about Peng Yue's affairs, after Yang Lili pushed open the door and came in, she stared straight at her, making it easy for people to misunderstand that she had hostile intentions towards Yang Lili.

  Yang Lili only thought of Sun Yalin as a woman brought by Shen Huan, and when she was about to leave, she naturally glanced at her face.

  Before Yang Lili had completely walked out, Sun Yalin started smacking her lips: "No wonder men all love to run this way, it turns out the women here are not only beautiful but also easy to handle!"

  Shen Huai's face was as big as a sesame seed, seeing Sun Ya Lin watching the excitement without being afraid of trouble, he could only stiffen his skin and not make a sound, continuing to look at the menu.

  "Is that earring hers?" Chen Dan leaned over and asked in a whisper.

  Shen Huai knew that Chen Dan couldn't be as calm and collected as she seemed, so he just nodded silently and said, "It's her."

  "What? You also know this woman?" Sun Yalin couldn't hear Chen Dan and Shen Huai talking, so she turned her head to ask.

  "There's nothing, I just heard Shen Hui mention someone like that last time." Chen Dan said with a gentle smile.

  Chen Dan didn't get jealous, which made Sun Yalin very disappointed, and she turned her head to study the menu instead.

  The menu was called over by Sun Yalin, and Shen Hua relaxed, pondering Yang Lili's behavior just now.

  He knew that Yang Lili's glance at Sun Yalin before leaving was intentional, and he believed that Yang Lili wouldn't be jealous or envious on purpose, but rather intentionally wanted to make Sun Yalin feel that way.

  Shen Huai took a look at Sun Ya Lin and Chen Dan sitting on either side of him, and indeed, it was just like Sun Ya Lin and he were a pair.

  Shen Huai thought that Yang Lili might be unwilling to be controlled by him, but upon further reflection, he found it strange - who gave Yang Lili the courage to play these small tricks?

  The phone rang at this time.

  Shen Hua thought Zhou Yu had arrived, took out his mobile phone, but the phone was silent, it was Yang Haipeng's phone that rang. In 1993 and 1994, in the domestic mobile communication market, except for the bulky "brick" phones, only Motorola and Ericsson had compact mobile phones available for sale, and the ringtone of the mobile phone was also very monotonous.

  Shen Huai is with Yang Haipeng and Sun Yalin, often can't tell whose phone is ringing.

  Yang Haipeng took out his mobile phone and looked at it, saying in confusion: "It's Zhou Ming's call."

  Yang Haipeng answered the phone, and Zhou Ming was on the other end, chuckling: "Yeah, I just happened to run into Shen Huai in Meixi Town, and we were both worried about what to do for dinner. So we dragged Zhao Dong along to Ying Huang instead. We knew you were busy, so we didn't dare disturb you. But your news is really well-informed! No matter where we go, we can't escape your sharp eyes. Oh, you're also having dinner at Ying Huang? Hmm, which private room are you in? Alright, let me tell Shen Huai..."

  "It seems that little girl didn't tame you, and as soon as she turned around, she sold you out cleanly!" Sun Yalin looked at Shen Hua with great interest, wanting to know how Shen Hua would handle this matter.

  Zhou Ming knew they were at Ying Huang, naturally it was Yang Lili who informed them.

  Chen Dan also looked at Shen Huan with a puzzled expression, knowing that there was something fishy about this matter.

  Even if Yang Lili knew that Shen Hua and Zhou Ming were acquainted, if she was really on Shen Hua's side, she should have reminded Shen Hua that Zhou Ming was also dining at the British royal residence, rather than keeping quiet and revealing Shen Hua's whereabouts to Zhou Ming.

  "Zhou Ming is in the Ziwei Hall..." Yang Haipeng put down his phone and didn't even ask Shen Huai if he wanted to go over and say hello, but knew that Shen Huai was not interested in dealing with Zhou Ming at this time.

  "Zhou Ming should be with Su Kaiwen, let's eat ours and ignore them..." Shen Huai said.

  Yang Lili's attitude just now has already explained a lot of problems.

  He should have kept his estrangement from Tan Qiping limited to a small number of people.

  It is said that when the spring river warms up, ducks know first. The intimacy and distance of relationships within a circle should also be limited to people within the circle, and should not be spread randomly outside.

  Zhou Yuner knew that he was alienating Tan Qiping because the Zhou family had access to information that ordinary people couldn't get through their connection with Wu Haifeng, the former municipal party secretary. As for how a PR manager at Emperor International knew that he was alienating the municipal party secretary, Shen Hua didn't slap Zhou Ming in the face, which was already being quite polite. Where would he have the mind to humor Zhou Ming and Su Kaiwen about their personal matters?

  Again, Zhou Ming and Su Kai heard from Yang Lili's mouth that they were eating on this side, just a few steps away, but instead of coming over to greet them in person, they made a showy phone call to ask about it, as if others didn't know he had just bought a new mobile phone...

  However, Shen Hua also thanked Zhou Ming, at least Chen Dan would believe that he had nothing to do with Yang Lili.

  Sun Ya Lin naturally had no interest in mediating between Zhou Ming and Su Kaiwen, and smiled as she said to Shen Huai: "You're really a broken pot now! Why don't I accompany you to greet Secretary Su and Director Zhou, so you won't be at odds with everyone in Donghua..."

  Shen Huai smiled slightly and stretched out his foot to step on Sun Ya Lin, knowing that she was teasing him with her words.

  He is indeed the abandoned son of the Song family, Tan Qiping can distance himself from him, can ignore him, but it's not up to Tan Qiping to come over and trample on him, let alone Su Kaiwen and Zhou Ming putting on airs in front of him.

  With Sun Ya Lin's temper, being able to deal with Su Kaiwen and Zhou Ming is already a feat.

  Zhao Dong and Yang Haipeng also shook their heads and smiled. They had contact with Sun Yalin, and they knew that only Sun Yalin could use this tone to tease and provoke Zhou Ming, and in their hearts, they also had an unspeakable disappointment towards Zhou Ming.

  "Or else, would Teddy Wong and Zhou Ming's shares in Haipeng Corporation be cleared with them the next day?" Yang Haipeng asked.

  Shen Huai shook his head and said, "Su Kaiwen and Zhou Ming are not good people. What's the point of following Xiao Jiguang? You should take Su Kaiwen and Zhou Ming to Meixi Town more often, get familiar with them, and they won't be strangers anymore."

  "You say that, but it sounds like you're hiding something." Sun Ya Lin looked at Shen Hua's face and couldn't help but expose him.

  "Really?" Shen Huan rubbed his face and said, "I think I was quite sincere when I said that just now."

  "You should find a mirror and look at yourself in it. Can you still stand the disgusting feeling?" Sun Yalin said.

  Everyone burst out laughing, and at this moment, Shen Hua's phone on the table rang. He picked it up and saw that Zhou Yu had arrived. He said to Yang Haipeng and the others: "You guys order food here, I'll go pick up Deputy Director Zhou; after all, he's my superior, can't be neglected..."

  "Afraid of being exposed for our illicit relationship, we'd better cover it up quickly?" Sun Yalin asked.

  "You should cut out your tongue." Shen Huan raised his phone as if to smash her, and ordered the driver to take Zhou Yu alone, without Yang Haipeng or Zhao Dong accompanying them.
