Gai Yin was taken aback and said, "It’s been so long now. If the two of them talked privately, we outsiders would have no way of knowing."
Qiao Rui also thought carefully. Given the situation at the ti, they were far away, and it was indeed uncertain what was discussed.
Thinking about it now, in public places, too much can’t be discussed.
And when she was drugged, it must have been planned in advance.
However, this matter is related to Liang Jinqian, but she can’t produce evidence at the mont.
What exactly went wrong? The more Qiao Rui thought about it, the more she felt sothing was off.
The elevator quickly reached level -1.
The two went to the parking lot, drove away, and headed to the restaurant.
Just then, Pei Liyan called. "Want to have a al together?"
"I’m almost at the restaurant. If you want, co over," Qiao Rui told him the address.
Not long after, Pei Liyan arrived, but he was not alone; He Zheng, Si Ran, and Fang Mo were with him.
Qiao Rui was a bit surprised and said, "You’re all here!"
"Yes, sister-in-law, eating together makes it more delicious with more people," He Zheng said with a pleased grin.
Qiao Rui knew that He Zheng had ulterior motives.
Si Ran ca because Pei Liyan deliberately brought him, didn’t he?
Seeing through it without saying anything, Qiao Rui smiled and sat down.
Pei Liyan ca over, naturally sat next to her, looked at the seating arrangent, and said, "Everyone sits down. Today’s lunch is a friends’ gathering."
Only then did the assistants take their seats.
Si Ran was about to sit down at a distance from He Zheng, but Fang Mo took the seat first.
Si Ran looked at the other seats, finding no space, and had to sit next to He Zheng.
Qiao Rui glanced at them.
He Zheng looked at Si Ran with a smile and said, "Secretary Si, what would you like to eat?"
"Anything is fine," Si Ran replied calmly.
"Not picky at all, huh? So easy to take care of?" He Zheng shalessly said, "You’re really good."
As soon as he said this, no one in the room spoke, and everyone looked at He Zheng.
He Zheng ignored everyone’s gaze and continued, "Have you rembered what President Pei likes to eat?"
"Of course," Si Ran said. "That’s one of the basic functions of being a secretary."
"Secretary Si is really impressive," He Zheng smiled and continued, "Then please, Secretary Si, also note my preferences. I don’t like onions, eggplants, or mutton and I dislike fennel."
Si Ran frowned and said in a low voice, "Your secretary should rember these."
"Just rember it. It’ll co in handy soti," He Zheng said leisurely with a smile, "Secretary Si has a good mory; rembering these should be no problem for you."
Si Ran felt speechless.
What a person.
Pei Liyan and Qiao Rui exchanged a glance but said nothing.
Fang Mo sat quietly beside them, acting as if it didn’t concern him.
anwhile, Gai Yin held the nu and started ordering, picking several dishes Qiao Rui liked.
Then she handed it to Si Ran, "Secretary Si, why don’t you order so dishes President Pei likes too?"
Si Ran took it and ordered a few dishes, "Stir-fried Onions with Eggs, Spicy Eggplants, Cumin Lamb!"
He Zheng’s eyes widened instantly, "Si Ran, are you trying to defy ?"
Si Ran replied calmly, "These are the dishes our President Pei loves!"
Qiao Rui glanced at Pei Liyan.
Pei Liyan nodded, "What a coincidence, those are indeed my favorites."
He Zheng looked at Pei Liyan, utterly speechless.
Pei Liyan only smiled slightly and said nothing.
"Forget it, I’ll order what I like," He Zheng took the nu, glanced at it, and first asked, "Special Assistant Gu, Fang Mo, what do you like?"
"President He, I can eat anything, not picky," Gai Yin said with a smile.
He Zheng smiled, "Alright, I’ll pick as I see fit. Fang Mo, how about you?"
"I’m not picky either," Fang Mo said, "By the way, President He, Secretary Si loves sweets."
Si Ran was suddenly taken aback and imdiately gave Fang Mo a warning look.
Fang Mo also smiled, lowered his head, and imdiately played dumb, saying nothing.
"Sweets, huh?" He Zheng said aningfully, "How about so caralized apple?"
"Hmm, that’s great," Qiao Rui said with a smile, "I love that too; let’s order it!"
Si Ran felt embarrassed and glanced shyly at Qiao Rui.
Qiao Rui also smiled and winked at her, making Si Ran realize that the lady was teasing her.
He Zheng ordered a few dishes, and everyone waited for the food to arrive.
He Zheng said, "The latest news suddenly turned to Liang Jinqian and Su i, truly dull. I was hoping to see you, sister-in-law, clash with the Lin Family!"
Qiao Rui was taken aback, truly soone who likes to stir things up.
She looked at He Zheng and said, "President He, do you love excitent that much?"
"It’s so thrilling," He Zheng said, "Sister-in-law, you have no idea. My dad, who rarely praises people, went ho today and showered praises on you!"
Qiao Rui smiled, "Well, thank you very much to Uncle He for holding in such high regard."
"Uncle He indeed rarely praises people, so if he praises you, you’ve earned it with your skills," Pei Liyan added.
"And, today my dad privately invited you and Brother Pei to our house for dinner when leaving the Qiao Family," He Zheng said, "Such a rare event, dinner at ho."
Qiao Rui laughed as well, truly an honor, it seems.
Si Ran was also pleased, not expecting that He Zheng’s father, such a picky man, would appreciate the lady.
She smiled at Qiao Rui, happy for the lady.
Qiao Rui noticed Si Ran’s kindness. Generally, won would be jealous in this situation, but Si Ran wasn’t.
Her heart was open; therefore, she certainly wanted to help Si Ran more.
"By the way, what did Yichen say?" Pei Liyan looked at Qiao Rui and asked.
"There’s an intention to cooperate," Qiao Rui said, "But Mr. Pei, can’t we not talk about business? This morning was intense; I’m starving and don’t want to use my brain."
Pei Liyan laughed. Not wanting to use her brain ant not wanting to talk business.
"Alright, no business talk."
The dishes arrived quickly.
He Zheng said, "If not business, let’s talk gossip. Do you think there will be any solid proof of Liang Jinqian and Su i next?"
"What kind of solid proof?" Fang Mo asked, "In love?"
"Who cares if they’re in love or not? I just want to see the bedroom video," He Zheng expressed directly.
Si Ran frowned, turned her head, and looked at He Zheng.
Are guys just as interested in gossip?
He Zheng said, "Si Ran, do you think there’s a video in the bedroom?"
"I don’t know," Si Ran shook her head, expressionless, "That’s none of my business."
He Zheng shrugged and looked at Pei Liyan and Qiao Rui, "What about you guys? Do you think there is one?"
"Yes," Pei Liyan affird with certainty.
"Want to place bets?" Qiao Rui countered, "How about we play a ga? Let’s guess if there is one or not?"
Pei Liyan glanced at her, this girl, of course, there’s one. Without it, she wouldn’t have arranged things like this.
He Zheng said, "Interesting, sure."
Qiao Rui blinked, "I also think there is one."
"Since you all think there is one, I’ll say there is too," He Zheng said.
Gai Yin was surprised, "President He, I thought you’d say there isn’t."
"If there isn’t, wouldn’t I lose?" He Zheng said, "Betting with the big bosses, there’s no way to lose."
