Meng Qian and Qiao Xia arrived not too early, yet not too late, just in time to order food. They sat together, ordered their favorite dishes, and formed their own quiet circle, sitting pretty as they waited to finish the meal.
The dishes were served.
Before anyone began to eat, the tables all toasted Xu Lin first.
It was nothing more than welcoming the director, the usual pleasantries of asking for future guidance and assistance.
As the alcohol flowed, the atmosphere warmed up. Xu Lin and Bai Qiqi quickly hit it off, laughing and chatting away.
"Director, with your background and good looks, you must have a boyfriend already, right?" Bai Qiqi asked.
Xu Lin glanced at Qiao Xia, "I have a fiancé already."
Qiao Xia bowed her head to eat, not paying attention to what Xu Lin said. It was Meng Qian who whispered to her. Qiao Xia didn't care— the food here was too delicious.
"What does the director's fiancé do?" Everyone was curious.
"Guess?"
"Can't guess it."
