The driver got out of the car and opened the door. Wen Tiantian, who was in a black suit, walked out.
She was dressed very conservatively, wearing a black skirt that went past her knees, and her slightly curly chestnut hair was combed back, making her look a little mature.
The butler got out of the car first and stood beside the car, handing the thin coat in his hand to Wen Tiantian.
"Miss, we will be waiting outside."
Wen Tiantian knew that the butler was worried, so she did not refuse and only nodded her head. "You guys should find a place to rest as well."
The butler stood by the side of the car, watching Wen Tiantian and Zhong Lee walk towards the dining room with worry in his eyes.
It was already difficult for Wen Tiantian to connect her with the timid girl who appeared in the castle. Time and all that had happened in the past quickly allowed her to grow up.
However, this growth caused them to feel heartache.
He couldn't help but look up at the pitch-black sky.
If Mister was here, he would probably feel even more heartache, right?
Wen Tiantian looked around and soon saw the man sitting on the seat.
The man wore a grey suit, and his hair was short and pointed upwards. He looked very ordinary.
Seeing Wen Tiantian walk in, he stood up with a smile on his face.
"Miss Wen, it's better to meet than hear all the rumors."
He extended his hand and shook hands with Wen Tiantian. Contrary to his expectation, the other party seemed to be very friendly, and didn't seem like someone with a deep shrewdness either.
Zhong Lee stood aside and observed the other party without leaving a trace. He was very vigilant.
The man's name was Dong Hai. As soon as he sat down, he started to argue with Wen Tiantian. He seemed to have forgotten about the previous cooperation case, making it difficult to connect him with the person in charge from Beijing.
Wen Tiantian listened attentively to his casual conversation, but she always felt a little uncomfortable.
It was as if someone was looking at her.
The line of sight was flickering, causing her to feel somewhat puzzled.
"..." Miss Wen? What do you think? "
Wen Tiantian quickly came back to her senses and her gaze fell on Dong Hai, who looked a little agitated with a red face.
"What?"
"I said, the steak is the signboard, do you want to try it?"
Wen Tiantian quickly revealed a faint smile.
"Alright."
"No," she answered absently, but she felt the line of sight that had been on her back disappear again.
While he was thinking, Zhong Lee seemed to be unable to wait any longer and spoke in a serious tone.
"Mr. Dong, Manager Yang should have already mentioned our purpose to you. What are your thoughts?"
When Dong Hai heard this, his eyes rolled and he smiled. He said lightly: "Let's talk after a meal. Let's talk after a meal."
With that, he turned around and continued to chat with Wen Tiantian.
Wen Tiantian listened for a while, but always felt that he was trying to trick her into saying something. After a while, she stopped answering him.
Zhong Lee was unhappy with how the other party ignored him. He frowned and spoke in a more cramped tone.
"Mr. Dong, we didn't come here to listen to your bullshit."
Halfway through Dong Hai's words, he was interrupted by Zhong Lee, causing his expression to lose interest.
Zhong Lee was about to say something, but was stopped by Wen Tiantian.
"No problem, Zhong Lee, let's eat first."
Only then did Dong Hai smile in satisfaction.
Zhong Lee pursed his lips. He was still a bit angry, but didn't say anything in the end.
At the table, only Dong Hai was talking loudly. From time to time, he would open his arms and look very excited.
When the steak was served, the waiter adjusted several directions to avoid his movements.
Dong Hai didn't seem to notice that he was being affected, and he was still excitedly gossiping about something he heard from god knows where.
He opened his hands in excitement, but accidentally hit the waiter.
The waiter lost his balance and fell forward onto the table.
The glass on the table shook a few times and the champagne spilled onto Wen Tiantian's clothes.
Zhong Lee pulled Wen Tiantian up immediately, but his skirt was still stained with quite a lot of champagne.
He was so angry that his eyes were slightly red. He snapped at Dong Hai: "What are you doing!"
Dong Hai was also shocked. He stopped smiling and came over to help.
"Sorry, sorry."
Just as he reached out his hand, Zhong Lee hit him.
A crisp sound rang out, making Dong Hai feel awkward.
He touched his nose, vented his anger on the waiter, and pointed at her while scolding.
Wen Tiantian wiped off the wine stains on her skirt with a tissue and said, "I'm fine. I don't blame him."
As she was speaking, she felt the line of sight behind her reappear.
While Dong Hai and the waiter were arguing, Wen Tiantian quickly turned her head and looked towards the direction of their line of sight.
In the dark corner of the restaurant, a person could be vaguely seen. However, one could only see the outline of the person. Even his figure and appearance could not be clearly seen.
This time, even if Wen Tiantian looked over, she didn't retract her gaze, but looked at her with a piercing gaze.
Strangely, Wen Tiantian couldn't bear to look at him with such impolite eyes.
While she was looking at Ye Zichen in confusion, Dong Hai suddenly stopped her.
"Miss Wen, I'm really sorry. This meal is my treat."
Wen Tiantian looked away and said lightly, "It's alright. Let's talk about the cooperation case."
The other party knew that he could not get past this and could only say, "I'm sorry, but this plan was something that we painstakingly made. We hope that we can work together with M.I Group. If it were any other person …"
Dong Hai smiled and already expressed his refusal.
Wen Tiantian nodded in understanding. "I'll think about it when I get back home."
When she finished her meal, Wen Tiantian was about to leave. She raised her head to look at the corner of the restaurant and found that the person who had been sitting there was already gone.
She slightly frowned, but a faint feeling of loss surfaced in her heart.
Dong Hai followed them out the door and watched Wen Tiantian and Zhong Lee get on the car.
After standing there for a while, he walked to the other side.
As he turned the corner, he saw a black car parked on another side street.
Dong Hai walked to the car and the window slowly lowered.
He lowered his head slightly and said to the driver, "I've told you everything that you've told me."
The man in the car turned his head, his cold, knife-edged face hidden in the darkness, revealing only his firm, curved jaw.
His voice was low and unpleasant.
"I didn't let you dirty her clothes. I didn't let you touch her hands."
Dong Hai was stunned for a moment. Yesterday, this man suddenly went to him to find the person in charge of Beijing Responsibility Co., Ltd., and he just used the money to do some work.
Today, when he saw the other party eating in a top-notch restaurant with a pretty face, he could not help but forget himself.
He had not expected that all of his little tricks would be seen by him.
"Sorry."
He didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest when facing this man.
"There can't be a next time."
The person inside the car said in a low voice as he handed out a bulging envelope.
"Take these first. You'll have to come over in the future."
Dong Hai quickly took the envelope and couldn't wait to open it. His eyes lit up.
"No problem, any time is fine."
As he spoke, the car window slowly closed.
The black car slowly drove away. After a few blocks, the people in the car slid down from the wheelchair and got into another taxi. Then, they returned to their residential district.
