Following which, Lin Jiayi and Xia Shangzhou fell silent once more.
The car soon stopped at Lin Jiayi’s building.
Xia Shangzhou alighted from the car and opened the door for Lin Jiayi. As Lin Jiayi stepped into the building, she seemed to have thought of something as she turned to look at Xia Shangzhou. “Don’t forget about me…”
Xia Shangzhou knew that Lin Jiayi was referring to Qin Ting, so he tried his best to maintain his posure and nodded at Lin Jiayi. “I remember…”
Lin Jiayi didn’t say anything else. With a wave of her hand, she stepped into the elevator.
!!
By the time the elevator door closed, Xia Shangzhou’s eyes were immediately filled with sorrow.
He stood downstairs for a long time until he lifted his head and saw that the lights in Lin Jiayi’s house had already turned on. Knowing that she had entered her house, he turned around and got back into the car. Then, he turned the steering wheel and left her neighborhood.
He drove along the quiet streets in the middle of the night for some distance. Then, he abruptly braked and parked his car by the side of the road.
Picking up his phone, he took out CEO Chen’s phone and stared at the screen for a long time. In the end, he still pressed the call button.
Soon, the call was picked up, and CEO Chen’s familiar voice sounded from the other end, “Special Assistant Xia, why did you suddenly remember to call me?”
Xia Shangzhou exchanged a few pleasantries with President Chen, then, he said the main point, “It’s like this. I’m calling you because I want to ask you for someone’s contact information… well, it’s Qin Ting. I’m not too sure about his specific situation… en… Okay, okay, thank you… I received your text message… CAN I ask you one more thing at the end? “Do you know where Mr. Qin Lives? “Oh… is that the one next to the Second Ring Road? “Alright, Alright… Thank you so much. I’ll treat you to dinner when I have time… Goodbye.”
After hanging up, Xia Shangzhou opened the text message that President Chen had sent him. He stared at the eleven digits that President Chen had sent him for a moment, then, he sent a text message over. “Hello, Mr. Qin. I’m Xia Shangzhou, Lin Jiayi’s assistant. President Lin wishes to meet you again tomorrow night. Do you have time?”
About a minute after the text message was sent, Xia Shangzhou received a reply from Qin Ting, “Yes.”
Following which, Qin Ting sent another message, “May I know where to meet you?”
Xia Shangzhou didn’t reply to Qin Ting’s message. Instead, he sent a screenshot of the conversation to Lin Jiayi’s wechat.
Five minutes later, Xia Shangzhou’s phone screen lit up, lin Jiayi called him back. “Gps, did he agree to it?”? That’s great! Let’s make an appointment at Beijing Grand Hotel Tomorrow. Back when we were in the states, I told him that I would bring him here for a meal whenever I had the time, but I never got the chance… you’ve already canceled all of my appointments tomorrow night. No, you’ve already canceled all of them from three in the afternoon. Also, tell the manager of Beijing Grand Hotel to prepare seafood in advance, the freshest kind that Qin Ting likes very much… also, let’s make an appointment for six-thirty tomorrow night… Remember to get them to open the bottle of good wine I saved…”
Lin Jiayi had been talking on her own for a long time, but when she realized that Xia Shangzhou wasn’t speaking, she asked, “Navigator, are you listening?”
“I am, I am listening…”
“Then, do you remember what I Said?”
“I do… Erm, is there anything else?”
“No, it’s getting late. I’m going to sleep now, so I’ll leave the rest to you.”
