After Chu Ge finished speaking, Shu Lulu and Luo Suyun were both stunned on the spot, until he opened the driver's side door and turned back to smile at them. Only then did the two finally co back to their senses, though their beautiful eyes still brimd with disbelief.
"Mister, I didn't go to school much, so don't you trick , is this car... really yours?"
Blinking her eyes, Shu Lulu looked at this flashy Maserati, then at Chu Ge standing by the car door, asking in an extrely uncertain tone.
"It's my friend's. She's not in Lidu right now, so she left the car for to drive. Co on, get in."
Shu Lulu quickly walked a few steps, observing the Maserati up close, feeling more and more that the car was high-end and stylish. She looked again at Chu Ge, "Mister, can I really get in?"
"Of course, why are you being polite with ?"
"Mister, you're aweso!"
Chu Ge amusingly patted Shu Lulu's head, watching her gleefully get into the passenger seat. He then called out to Luo Suyun, "Sister Luo? Getting in?"
Luo Suyun nodded absently, replied, and then sat in the back seat.
Chu Ge gentlemanly closed Luo Suyun's car door, then returned to the driver's seat, asked about the dining place, and started the car, driving the Maserati out of the community.
"Mister, you're so bad, you did that on purpose to embarrass , didn't you?" In the passenger seat, Shu Lulu thought of what she had said earlier, and a rare touch of embarrassnt appeared on her face.
"I didn't. You simply didn't give a chance to speak, did you?"
"That's not true, you're just bad."
"Okay, okay, I'm bad, I'm bad. Is that alright with you?"
Amid Shu Lulu and Chu Ge's laughter, Luo Suyun sat silently in the back seat. After all, she was an adult and the mother of an eighteen-year-old girl. Her thoughts were certainly more complicated than Shu Lulu's. At this mont, her gaze towards Chu Ge beca sowhat complex.
In Luo Suyun's view, since Chu Ge's friend could afford such an expensive car, they must be an extraordinary person. As his friend would entrust him with such an expensive car to drive, it also seed to indicate that Chu Ge was likewise not an ordinary person.
After all, birds of a feather flock together.
Who... is he really?
Luo Suyun really couldn't figure it out, and at the sa ti, a faint thought arose in her heart that perhaps Chu Ge had the ability to help her with that matter.
However, this idea flashed through as quickly as it ca, after all, that incident had passed so long ago. Even if there were doubts, there probably wouldn't be anything to find out now.
Besides, no matter how capable Chu Ge was, he didn't owe them anything. If she hadn't invited him up that day, Chu Ge probably wouldn't have gone upstairs to sit with them.
In short, Chu Ge had already helped them so much. Even if she was always obsessed with that incident from years ago, she truly couldn't bring herself to ask.
About ten minutes later, Chu Ge drove the car to the restaurant Luo Suyun had reserved in advance.
The restaurant's facade wasn't very large, and it didn't look particularly classy. Luo Suyun feared Chu Ge might misunderstand and think she was being perfunctory, so she specially explained.
"Mr. Chu, the signature dish here is braised beef ribs. Don't be fooled by the environnt not being particularly high-end; the beef ribs here are very famous throughout Lidu. I didn't ask if you liked it before coming, so it's a bit abrupt. But, what do you think..."
If Luo Suyun hadn't seen the Maserati, she wouldn't have been so concerned. But after seeing the Maserati and making many associations, she couldn't help but mind these things.
Chu Ge smiled, "Sister Luo, I'm not a picky eater, and beef ribs, with their soft, crunchy texture, is sothing I haven't had in a long ti. Being able to enjoy it thanks to Lulu getting into college is a blessing, so thank you is all that needs to be said; don't think too much."
Seeing Chu Ge's sincere words, Luo Suyun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, nodding, "Then Mr. Chu, you must eat a lot later."
After parking the car, Chu Ge and Shu Lulu entered the restaurant with her mother. The business here was indeed booming. Although it was just the beginning of al ti, the hall was already bustling with noise. Dozens of tables were packed, and many custors had rosy cheeks, clearly having a great ti eating.
Arriving in the private room Luo Suyun had reserved, Chu Ge casually ordered a couple of dishes, then handed the nu over to Shu Lulu. Today was her celebration, so naturally, she should enjoy a feast.
By this ti, Luo Suyun had adjusted her mood. Whether or not Chu Ge had a significant background, she knew Chu Ge didn't have any ulterior motive towards them and was definitely soone trustworthy, her face returning to its usual smile.
Before long, dish after dish was served. After chatting casually with this mother-daughter pair for a while, Chu Ge asked about Luo Suyun's work situation.
"Sister Luo, when you called earlier, you said you fired your boss today? So, any plans for what's next?"
Luo Suyun smiled slightly, her chopsticks pausing for a mont, "I don't have any plans for now, I'll take it one step at a ti."
Although Luo Suyun's smile looked quite carefree, Chu Ge still saw a hint of hidden helplessness in her eyes.
After a brief hesitation, Chu Ge asked again, "By the way, Sister Luo, if you don't mind, can I ask what kind of work you used to do?"
"Oh, I used to work in finance at my previous company. Why do you ask?"
Chu Ge smiled, "It's nothing, I was just curious and asked casually."
Whether or not to bring Luo Suyun to Tianqing Company, Chu Ge still needed to think about it. Before this matter was finalized, he didn't want to reveal anything.
Pretending to be casual, he chatted with Luo Suyun about so financial matters. Chu Ge gradually gained a better understanding of Luo Suyun, beyond her tough exterior, discovering that she was indeed quite capable in this area, possessing so highly difficult and authoritative certifications.
While the two were talking, a burst of laughter suddenly ca from the next room, followed by the clinking of glasses, suggesting that the people inside were sowhat drunk.
The soundproofing between the private rooms in this restaurant was not particularly good, and the voice of the conversation was so loud that it even reached the room they were in.
"Boss Zhou, when I visited your company today, I didn't see that Luo woman in finance you're keeping an eye on. Where is she? Has she been promoted from the finance departnt to sowhere else? Are you hiding her away?"
A man's voice ca through first, sounding full of mockery and lewdness.
As this voice reached their side, Chu Ge suddenly noticed Luo Suyun's expression freeze slightly. Connecting it with the man's words, he couldn't help but think, could it be such a coincidence that the woman with the surna Luo he ntioned is actually Luo Suyun?
"Hey, Boss Li, don't ntion that little girl again, it just gets angry. I'd love to keep her hidden away, but I really don't dare."
Another man's voice, sowhat frustrated and annoyed, ca through, and the change in Luo Suyun's expression beca more evident.
"Oh? Boss Zhou, what's that about? You've got at least five or six female employees under your belt, so why aren't you brave enough to ss with her?"
"Boss Li, you don't know the half of it. You only know that my financial director is quite the looker with a hot body, but you have no idea that her temper is just as fiery. My other female employees in the company can't begin to compare with her."
"A fiery temper? That's only interesting when you get her, isn't it? You're a big boss, and you can't handle her?"
"Handle her? Boss Li, I'm not afraid of your laughter. It's good enough that she doesn't handle . I wouldn't dare try to handle her myself!"
At this point, the voice of Boss Zhou paused, seeming to clink glasses with Boss Li, then took a sip of alcohol before continuing.
"Let put it this way, once I only pretended not to bump her hand casually, and she imdiately stood up and pretended to accidentally step on my foot. That was a seven-centiter high heel! It nearly broke my bones! I yowled in pain and couldn't move for quite a while."
Hearing this, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel more convinced that the two people next door were indeed talking about Luo Suyun. Such things really fit Luo Suyun's style quite well.
Involuntarily, Chu Ge glanced at Luo Suyun with the corner of his eye. He saw her lips pursed on her cup as if she was also recalling sothing, a small smile playing at the corner of her mouth.
"Damn, so ruthless? Boss Zhou, I can't figure it out. Sothing like this happened, and you still put up with her? You're the boss; she's working for you. I just don't believe you can't handle her."
"Sigh... I would love to deal with her, but the company can't do without her. Honestly, I'm not exaggerating; her business skills are absolutely top-notch. Don't think my company is just a tiny one. Even if placed at Tianqing or Liger Group, she'd have no problem being a leader in finance."
"So that's the way it is; that makes sense. Hey? Speaking of which, you still haven't told , why wasn't she at the office today?"
"She quit, fired ."
"What? She fired you?"
"Don't even ntion it, the more I talk about it, the angrier I get. Co, let's drink."
"Boss Zhou, you can tell anything. What's going on?"
"Forget it, it's actually nothing unspeakable. It's just that a big client was interested in that little girl. He promised to sign a contract with if she spent one night with him."
"Regarding this matter, I discussed it with her, but she turned on imdiately. That was a huge order. I got furious too and we argued. Well, this little girl, she just quit right away without even taking this month's salary."
Hearing this, Chu Ge couldn't help but think even more highly of Luo Suyun. This woman really is full of character.
