The location for lunch was chosen by Zhu Ge Meili, and she treated.
"The place is nice."
When Li Zhi arrived at the hotel, he called Zhu Ge Meili to come out and meet him. He didn't know if it was because she had dressed up intentionally, but she looked even more dazzling today than yesterday. When he saw Zhu Ge Meili, he reached out and patted her on the hip, teasingly asking, "What are you doing?"
Startled, Zhu Ge Meili backed away, glared at him angrily, and said, "What are you doing?"
Li Zhi frowned and said somewhat displeased, "I have principles." I never force anyone to do anything. Yesterday, when you accepted the job, the conditions had already been discussed. "I didn't force you, did I?"
"Right!" Zhu Ge Meili giggled and threw a flirtatious glance at Li Zhi, coquettishly saying, "But there's no need to start getting touchy as soon as we meet." After hesitating for a moment, she walked to Li Zhi's side, hugged his arm, and whispered as they entered the hotel, "Let's go in." Besides you, I have also arranged for my cousin to come today. "She's a great beauty, just as good as I am!"
"Someone else?" Li Zhi was surprised and looked at Zhu Ge Meili with a half-smile, asking, "Are you planning to offer a two-for-one deal, or are you bringing someone to negotiate?"
"Negotiate, but my cousin is truly a great beauty." "Whether you can win her over depends on your own abilities," Zhu Ge Meili said, not bothering to conceal her intentions. Seeing a hint of surprise in Li Zhi's eyes, she wondered how much he had changed in just two days.
Li Zhi didn't mind. If they wanted to talk, they could talk. He was a stickler for rules.
As the private room door opened, Li Zhi walked in and was surprised to see who was sitting inside. Dong Yingshu was equally surprised. They hadn't expected that the person Zhu Ge Meili brought today would be Li Zhi, whom they had seen yesterday!
Dong Yingshu stood up from her chair, smiling. "Mr. Li, I didn't expect to see you again."
Li Zhi rubbed his nose, chuckled a few times, and hadn't expected that Zhu Ge Meili's cousin would turn out to be a police officer.
"Yes, what a coincidence!"
Zhu Ge Meili looked at the two of them with some surprise and asked, "Do you two know each other?"
Li Zhi explained what had happened yesterday. After the three of them were seated, Zhu Ge Meili squinted and said with a smile, "Since everyone knows each other, it's easy." This is my cousin, Dong Yingshu, the former school beauty of the police academy who is now a police officer. She is twenty-six years old, single, has no bad habits, and is very easy to get along with!
The first two sentences were fine, but as she continued, Li Zhi felt that something was off. He couldn't quite figure out what Zhu Ge Meili was up to. He had come today to collect fees, but she had brought someone along. It shouldn't have been for nothing. It felt like a blind date scenario.
The meal was eaten quickly, and the three of them drank juice. In less than an hour, they had finished their meal and left.
Before leaving, Dong Yingshu expressed many kind words to Li Zhi, asking him to look after her cousin and refrain from mistreating her. Many things were left unsaid, but the meaning was clear.
Since Zhu Ge Meili had someone supporting her, Li Zhi didn't have any thoughts. This matter had a hint of coercion. Furthermore, the other party had done an excellent job. Within a short time, they had found a rare source of goods. Sometimes, time is money.
After paying the bill, Zhu Ge Meili walked out of the hotel arm in arm with Li Zhi.
She blinked and asked with a smile, "What do you think of my cousin?"
"What do you mean?" Li Zhi was almost confused by her.
"Nothing," Zhu Ge Meili said playfully. "I think you and my cousin are destined for each other." Is my cousin not ugly, right? She also has a good figure and a stable job. She has everything, except for a boyfriend. "If you're interested, I can introduce you to her and see how it goes!"
Li Zhi rubbed his nose, somewhat bemused. What kind of person was she? She had just been teased by him, and now she wanted to introduce her cousin to him as his girlfriend?
If there were no hidden motives or tricks, then she must really hope that her cousin would have a hard time, wanting to set her up.
"Do you think I'm a good person?" Li Zhi asked.
Zhu Ge Meili pondered for a moment, shook her head, and remarked, "When it comes to relationships between men and women, you cannot be deemed a virtuous individual." "You're very flirtatious; I even feel like teasing you."
"Why do you want to introduce your cousin to me?" "Shouldn't you keep your distance from a 'bad guy' like me?" Li Zhi smiled.
"Yes and no," Zhu Ge Meili nodded seriously, then shook her head. "You are indeed flirtatious, which is a flaw of yours, but you also have your strengths." I am very skilled at assessing people. The most important thing is, if you become my cousin's boyfriend, considering her personality, if you dare to fool around outside, she can ruin you. Finding someone who can influence you is indirectly performing a good deed. "I've done a great thing!"
Li Zhi was amused by her. "What kind of twisted logic is this?" Are you absolutely certain that your cousin, who is my girlfriend, can control me? "Aren't you afraid of making a mistake?"
"I'm not completely sure," Zhu Ge Meili said slyly. "But I'm 80% sure." "Besides, you don't understand my cousin's personality!"
"She must not be your real cousin!" Li Zhi shook his head with a smile.
Zhu Ge Meili playfully said, "She is my actual cousin, as close to me as a real sister." "Don't worry, I won't harm my cousin."
Li Zhi shook his head and didn't pay attention to her. For now, he didn't have any serious plans to find a girlfriend.
"How did you get here?" Li Zhi asked. Since Zhu Ge Meili had found a "backer," he couldn't bully her anymore.
"I took a taxi," Zhu Ge Meili blinked and said.
Li Zhi rolled his eyes and scolded, "Stop trying to act cute with me." I'm letting you off because of your cousin. So, you better behave. "Do you want to go to the car dealership?"
"I'm not acting cute, I'm naturally cute," Zhu Ge Meili muttered softly. Then she smiled and said, "Yes, of course, I want to go." I also want to buy a car.
"Did you make a lot of money from this deal?" Li Zhi smiled at her and asked.
"I may have made a little, but I earn my living through my own abilities." "If you were to find someone else, they might not be able to complete the order in three days," Zhu Ge Meili said, looking at Li Zhi curiously. "Hey, handsome, what do you do?"
Li Zhi was unsure of his actions at the moment. He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Me?" I'm a businessman and a manufacturer. "I make money from whatever I can, produce whatever makes money, and deal with whatever makes money!"
"What do you have now?" Zhu Ge Meili asked in a different manner.
"A processing plant and ten fish ball chain stores, for now!" Li Zhi thought for a moment and smiled. These were not private matters, so it didn't matter if he told her. At least on the surface, these were things that people could see and know.
"Can you tell me more about it?" Zhu Ge Meili seemed very curious about Li Zhi.
They stopped a car and instructed the driver to proceed to the car dealership.
Zhu Ge Meili did not shy away from suspicion and sat in the back seat with Li Zhi.
On the way to the car dealership, Li Zhi looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "Why do you keep asking me what I do?" I'm curious to know what you want to do. "You're not an employee of Tongtian Business Intermediary Company, so you don't have to go to work?"
"I go if I want to, and I don't if I don't want to." "No one dares to control me!" Zhu Ge Meili muttered, then playfully asked, "Do you believe in metaphysics?"
"What kind of study?" Li Zhi was puzzled.
"Metaphysics, like physiognomy, fortune-telling, divination, the Book of Changes, feng shui, and finding dragon veins," Zhu Ge Meili explained with a smile.
Li Zhi shook his head. "I don't believe in that." "How does that have anything to do with whether you go to work or not?"
"It doesn't have much to do with it." "I can go to work if I want to, and no one dares to control me because 'Tongtian Business Intermediary Company' is run by my relatives," Zhu Ge Meili said with a smile.
After a brief pause, she leaned in and whispered to Li Zhi, "Let me tell you a secret." I have a compound surname, Zhu Ge, and I am the 182nd generation granddaughter of Zhuge Kongming. "I am also a descendant of the Zhuge family, the 182nd generation."
"Are you a descendant of Zhuge Liang?"
"Yes!"
