"Since you like the dishes I make, how about this—I'll find a place and cook for you again."
After hearing this, Ji i's voice beca clearly excited, "Really, Mr. Ling? How could I impose on you like that? We agreed that I'd be treating you to a al, so how could I have you cook instead?"
"It's no problem, you find the place, and that'll count as you treating," Ling Zhenfei thought Ji i was just too adorable.
Ji i thought for a mont and then said, "Why don't you co to my place? My kitchen is all professional-grade, and there's a Global Goodies supermarket right underneath my apartnt, which has the freshest vegetables."
"Co to your place? That might not be a great idea, you're a big star. What if paparazzi snap pictures? It wouldn't look good."
Ji i laughed, "No worries, who would care about a small star on the edge of the entertainnt circle like ? Let's do it, just co to mine. I'll prepare the ingredients myself, and then I can feel more at ease."
"Alright, send the address, and I'll head over in a bit."
"That's great, that's great, I'll get everything ready right away."
Not long after hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei received a text from Ji i with her address.
"Spring Breeze Road, Spring Breeze Community No. 3."
anwhile, in Spring Breeze Community Building No. 3, Ji i was tidying things up, even though her ho was already very clean.
"Ling Zhenfei is coming over tonight, what should I prepare?" Opening her large refrigerator, it was stocked full of fresh vegetables, clearly already prepared in advance.
"Oh right, the wine, we must have red wine tonight."
Ji i hurried down to a room in the basent, where a whole row of wine racks were lined up with various bottles of red wine. Anything that made it onto Ji i's basent shelves was definitely a fine selection.
After browsing for a while, Ji i picked two bottles of red wine, but just as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped and walked back into the basent, grabbing two more bottles.
The table was wiped spotless, and the wine glasses and decanter were all prepared, along with so candles.
After getting everything ready, Ji i zoned out a bit, "Should I tell Chu Bingqing?"
"Forget it, why would I need to tell Chu Bingqing that I'm inviting Ling Zhenfei over for dinner? Chu Bingqing has only t Ling Zhenfei once, and I've already t him once too, and now it's going to be the second ti."
"Don't tell her, I definitely can't tell Chu Bingqing." Ji i held her phone, inexplicably dialed Chu Bingqing's number, and didn't even realize it.
"Hello, Ji i, why aren't you speaking?"
It wasn't until Chu Bingqing called out several tis from the other end of the phone that Ji i realized the call had connected. She was surprised but still answered the call.
"Oh, Bingqing, how are you doing?"
Chu Bingqing sounded surprised, "Of course I'm fine, what do you an? What's wrong with you?"
Ji i was a little flustered, "Nothing, just suddenly wanted to ask how you are doing."
"What's the matter with you, Ji i? I feel like sothing's off with you," Chu Bingqing said, sowhat puzzled.
"It's nothing, well, actually there is sothing. I heard that Ling Zhenfei is leaving for Binyang tomorrow," Ji i finally rembered sothing she could tell Chu Bingqing.
Chu Bingqing nodded, "Oh, is that so? That's normal; he must have finished dealing with his matters."
Ji i quickly said, "Finished dealing with what? Have you forgotten about my issue?"
Chu Bingqing replied, "Don't worry, I'll remind him about that. Leave it to ."
Ji i said sowhat anxiously, "Big sister, do you know what's going on with my company right now? If we don't co up with sothing soon, I'm really going to go bankrupt. Ling Zhenfei is my last straw."
Chu Bingqing said, "Alright, you can rest assured that I will definitely find a way."
"My dear girl, I'm really counting on you for this."
After chatting for a few sentences, they hung up the phone.
Ji i looked at her phone sowhat helplessly and muttered to herself, "Waiting for you to co up with a solution, my company would probably go bankrupt. I should figure out a way myself."
Ling Zhenfei checked the ti, and it was already evening, ti to go to Ji i's house.
He stepped out of the room just as he bumped into Lu ng standing at the door. Seeing Ling Zhenfei coming out, Lu ng looked slightly panicked, like a little girl caught doing sothing wrong.
"Mr. Ling, you're awake?"
"Yes, is there sothing you want to tell , Miss Lu ng?" Ling Zhenfei felt sure that Lu ng had sothing to say to him.
"I don't have anything in particular; I just wanted to see if you were awake. Are you going out?" Lu ng asked, a bit nervously.
"Yes, a friend invited to her ho for dinner."
Disappointnt flashed across Lu ng's face before she quickly returned to normal: "Oh, then please be careful."
Ling Zhenfei felt that Lu ng was acting strange, but he still went on his way.
Lu ng watched his retreating figure with a trace of displeasure on her face. She plunged her hand into the pocket of her nurse's uniform and pinched the two movie tickets inside harshly, as if she wanted to crush them.
Ling Zhenfei walked out of the hospital, hailed a taxi at the door, and after telling the driver the address, the taxi headed toward Spring Breeze Community.
On the ride, Ling Zhenfei received a call from Zhou Tong.
"Boss, I heard you're coming back soon, right?"
Ling Zhenfei had already inford Chen Qian, so it must have been Chen Qian who spread the news.
"Yes, I'm returning tomorrow."
Zhou Tong was thrilled to hear Ling Zhenfei was coming back and said with a smile, "Boss, do you know? Our restaurant's renovation is almost done; we just need to pick a date for the opening when you're back."
"Do we need to pick a date? You should ask President Chen about that; he knows more about that stuff," Chen Qian, of course, had a lot of research on calendars and auspicious dates.
"President Chen said it's better for you to co and see in person for such matters, that's why I'm giving you this call."
"Alright, then let's talk about it when I get back. How's the renovation coming along, is it like what you imagined?" In fact, Ling Zhenfei was also very interested in the current state of Xi Shan Restaurant's renovation and was curious about what it looked like now.
After chatting idly for a few minutes, they hung up the call, and by that ti, they were already almost at the Spring Breeze Community.
Spring Breeze Community is a high-end villa area, and the heavy snow from the day before had turned it into a wintry landscape.
The guards at the gate were very diligent, insisting on having Ling Zhenfei leave his na and phone number. Not having any other option, he wrote Chen Qian's na and left a random phone number.
There are quite a few celebrities from the Northeast, and many of the city's celebrities lived in this community, truly making it a celebrity neighborhood.
After entering, Ling Zhenfei imdiately noticed the community was extraordinary, whether in terms of landscaping or security, it was incomparable to other communities.
Using the building numbers, Ling Zhenfei easily located Ji i's house and rang the doorbell, after which Ji i ca out from inside.
Today, Ji i was wearing a pink dress, resembling a winter plum blossom, perfectly accentuating her figure. Due to the heating in the room, she was dressed quite refreshingly.
