After sitting down in their private dining room, a girl in a Japanese Kimono served them tea. They ordered two servings of Huaishi cuisine and two king crabs.
As Jin Di was sipping his tea, his phone rang.
He picked up immediately. "Okay, I got it. I'll push back the dinner with the boss of the Cheng Tian Group. A new cooperation I should have already mentioned the plan given to me last time. It's not worth much. There's no leeway. If I can't come up with a plan that I can take a good look at, then this cooperation will be pushed back..."
A lot of jargon that she couldn't understand came out of his mouth.
She sat quietly across from him drinking tea and holding her sleeve to her bruised arm, for fear that he might see something.
Kaiseki is divided into seven steps, during which there will always be a Japanese waiter to introduce them to the dishes and so on.
However, the one who came in was a middle-aged woman in a dark purple Kimono. She was not surprised when she saw Jin Di. She even shouted with a smile.
"Mr. Jin!"
Jin Di had just hung up the phone. He replied more courteously than Zuo Aiai had ever seen him do before.
"Yes."
"Welcome back! May I ask who this lovely young lady is?"
The woman looked as though she may be the owner of the restaurant. She was very respectful when she asked about Zuo Aiai's identity.
Zuo Aiai almost choked on the tea in her mouth.
In contrast to her nervousness, Jin Di only leisurely picked up his teacup and smiled. "She is my girlfriend."
Although she knew that this was only a contractual relationship, she could not help but blush.
"Oh, so it's your girlfriend. No wonder. I've never seen you bring a female friend here before! This is the first time, isn't it? This young lady must be very special to be able to attract your attention, Mr. Jin."
The woman must not read the news much. She didn't seem to recognize Zuo Aiai at all.
Zuo Aiai sipped her tea silently, and Jin Di smiled. "Special? She is indeed very special. Maybe I will only have one girlfriend in my life."
Jin Di's voice was calm, but Zuo Aiai felt shocked to her core by his words and didn't dare to move. It was as if there was a rabbit in her left chest that jumped so fast that she could not breathe. She tried her best not to betray any emotion on her face.
"Well, you certainly are direct! From the looks of it, good things are on the horizon for you two." The smiled benevolently as she spoke these words.
"Maybe. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future."
His answer, which was neither positive nor negative, made the woman even more curious.
Zuo Aiai felt more confused than ever. What was this man thinking in his heart of hearts?
At first, he seemed like he didn't want to get involved with her, but now he was saying so many ambiguous things.
If all he wanted was her body, then why, last night...hadn't he touched her at all...?
She hadn't realized he saw a future with her beyond their agreement.
But had experienced the pain of falling from the clouds. She knew that as long as she didn't get her hopes up, she couldn't be disappointed. It wouldn't do her any good to read into what he was saying.
At this thought, her heart calmed down, and her face returned to normal.
"Mr. Jin, it's best not to joke too much about such things. One of these days you might hurt someone."
Zuo Aiai was sitting there in a dignified and noble manner, just like the famous and popular top socialite in Binhai City she'd once been.
Her manners and smile were very appropriate.
It was almost as if...she was wearing an exquisitely carved mask...
