This is not the first time Cheng Xiran has come to Pengcheng for a business trip. Every time she comes to Pengcheng for a business trip, her partners treat her to dinner, so she can be considered a regular customer of half of the major high-end restaurants in Pengcheng. Take the Bauhinia Club that Chu Shang ordered tonight.
Said, she has been here more than once.
Assistant Zhang Qi parked the car at the entrance of Bauhinia Club in a familiar manner. The concierge immediately came up and opened the door for Cheng Xiran. Cheng Xiran got out of the car and took Zhang Qi into the box under the guidance of the greeter.
As soon as Cheng Xiran entered the box, the first person to greet her was not Chu Shang, but Chu Shang's assistant Xu Mingcheng. Xu Mingcheng was still dressed as he was during the day, mature and steady, while Chu Shang was still dressed as he was during the day, clean and sunny.
Only Cheng Xiran changed from the professional clothes she wore during the day and put on simple clothes. But only her assistant knew that Cheng Xiran's simplicity at the moment was created by the stylist according to her requirements, which actually took two hours.
During the time, I chose several sets of clothes, and finally settled on this set.
Chu Shang naturally saw Cheng Xiran at a glance. She was wearing a white half-high collar slim-fitting top with a few letters embroidered near her right chest. It was elegant and fashionable. The slim-fitting dress also outlined her upper body figure.
She came out. She wore a pair of light-colored pencil jeans on her lower body, which outlined her straight and slender legs, and a pair of black Martin boots on her feet, which also outlined her handsomeness.
The temperament and aura highlighted by such a simple dress are completely different from when she wears professional clothes. She made Chu Shang feel a sense of distance in the morning, feeling that they were in two different worlds. But when he looked at her, he felt
I feel like we are from the same world.
Xu Mingcheng knew Chu Shang well, and could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his eyes. He couldn't help but secretly marvel at how powerful Cheng Xiran was. Just by changing his clothes, he had shortened the distance between him and Chu Shang. No wonder he was considered as such at such a young age.
For a CEO who has reached a prosperous age, his ability is not something he can just boast about.
"Miss Cheng, please take a seat." Xu Mingcheng politely came over to pull out the seat for Cheng Xiran.
"Thank you." Cheng Xiran thanked him and sat down opposite Chu Shang.
Neither Xu Mingcheng nor Zhang Qi sat down. Zhang Qi stood beside Cheng Xiran, while Xu Mingcheng walked back and continued to stand beside Chu Shang.
Chu Shang was not used to someone standing beside him like a servant, so he said: "You go out first, I will talk to Miss Cheng alone."
Xu Mingcheng nodded: "Okay." Then he raised his head and invited Zhang Qi: "Assistant Zhang, let's go have a cup of coffee."
Seeing that Cheng Xiran didn't object, Zhang Qi said: "Then I'll spare the assistant's expense."
"Yes, Assistant Zhang invites you first." Xu Mingcheng made an invitation gesture towards him.
The two of them left the box one after another.
"Miss Cheng..."
After all the assistants went out, Chu Shang opened his mouth, but was immediately interrupted by Cheng Xiran's gesture. She asked, "Can I order first?"
Chu Shang was stunned for a moment.
"Didn't you invite me to dinner?" Cheng Xiran asked.
Chu Shang shook his head and rang the bell to call the waiter to come in and order food.
Cheng Xiran ate at this club twice and ordered two of his favorite dishes without looking at the menu.
Chu Shang watched as he added two more dishes and a soup, and then asked Cheng Xiran very bluntly: "Is it enough?"
Cheng Xiran:......
Does anyone else ask guests like this when inviting them to dinner?
Even the waiter was shocked. It was probably the first time that someone who came here to treat someone asked such a question, and the person was a girl.
"If you don't have a big appetite, four dishes and one soup will be enough." Fortunately, Cheng Xiran was not dealing with a technical geek for the first time, otherwise he would have felt really embarrassed.
"I don't have a big appetite." Chu Shang closed the menu and gave it to the waiter: "Thank you, I'll order these for now."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter was shocked inside, but still calmly took back the menu.
After ordering the meal, Shang Chu wanted to get straight to the point with Cheng Xiran again. This time, before he could speak, Cheng Xiran intercepted him in advance: "Mr. Chu, if you have anything to do, let's wait until after the meal to talk about it, in case what you said
If I don’t really want to hear it, then I won’t have the appetite to eat.”
Chu Shang thought about what he was going to say, and it seemed that it was not a good thing for Cheng Xiran, so he kept his EQ online for a rare moment and shut up.
The atmosphere in the box was slightly awkward due to the silence between the two. Cheng Xiran felt like she was being bitten. This was really the first time she had seen a man being cold in front of her. It's not like he didn't let you talk about business.
Let me tell you what kind of trouble this old monk is going to make when he enters samadhi.
Cheng Xiran would bet a dollar that this guy definitely doesn't have a girlfriend.
How can he have a girlfriend? A man with negative emotional intelligence can only wait for his girlfriend to fall from the sky.
The atmosphere was very awkward for a while, but fortunately Cheng Xiran was also a person who could handle things well. If the enemy could not stand me, I would not stand still. Whoever spoke first would be the puppy.
Ten minutes later, the waiter knocked on the door again and brought them the four dishes and one soup they ordered.
"Thank you." Cheng Xiran thanked him, picked up the serving chopsticks to pick up the food, and then started eating.
Chu Shang also started to eat. He was very quiet and polite while eating, making no sound like a cat. Cheng Xiran almost thought he was eating with a ghost.
This was definitely the weirdest meal she had ever eaten.
Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour later, Cheng Xiran put down her chopsticks. She couldn't hold them any longer.
"Are you done eating?" Chu Shang also put down his chopsticks, as if he had been waiting for her to do so.
"Well, you can talk when you're done eating." Cheng Xiran was really defeated by him. If this was her business partner, she would have thrown her chopsticks and left long ago. It was just a meal, not something so scary.
"Then let's go over there and talk. I'll make tea for you." Chu Shang pointed to the sofa in the living room and said.
Thankfully, he also knew that talking over a table of scraps was not easy to digest.
The two of them got up and went to the living room. There were all tea sets. Chu Shang started making tea for Cheng Xiran. His technique seemed quite skillful.
Cheng Xiran was a little surprised that a technical geek could make tea, which was rare.
Chu Shang poured her a cup of brewed tea, and before she could take a sip, he got straight to the point: "Miss Cheng, I want to negotiate a deal with you."
Cheng Xiran:......
It was really straightforward. Anyway, she couldn't drink the tea because it was hot, so she just wanted to listen to what deal he wanted to make with her.
"Mr. Chu, please explain clearly."
"I would like to ask Miss Cheng to help me fight for the family property." Chu Shang said straightforwardly.
Cheng Xiran:......
Fortunately she didn't drink tea, otherwise she would have sprayed it all over his face.
What the hell kind of request is this? You ask others to help you fight for your family property. You think you are the prince, and after inheriting the throne of your family, you can make me a founding hero.
"I know this request is a bit excessive, but I will give Miss Cheng corresponding reward." Chu Shang continued.
Thank God, I still have the self-awareness to know that this is an excessive request.
"What reward are you going to give me?" Cheng Xiran complained wildly in his heart, but his face remained calm.
"There is another secret about my company's shares," Chu Shang said.
