Chapter 241: An Incredible Discovery
Xia Xibei was stunned upon seeing Qiao Yanjue in the back seat.
“You...”
“I’ve just finished some meetings and am ready to eat,” Qiao Yanjue said with a smile. “You are done with cla.s.s, right? Let’s eat together.”
The a.s.sistant sitting in the front had a mixed expression on his face. Looking at the rearview mirror, he could see his cold boss smiling like a flower. His heart beat wildly and he had to quickly lower his head.
He seemed to have made an incredible discovery!
The a.s.sistant had met Xia Xibei before, but he didn’t expect Qiao Yanjue and Xia Xibei to become so close. Before, they were even fighting one another.
Now, it seemed as if his own boss was the enthusiastic one.
Eat together? What girl was lucky enough to receive a personal invitation from Master Jue?
There were many socialites in the city who wanted to have a meal with Master Jue and couldn’t!
Moreover, their boss suddenly wanted to acquire an entertainment company yesterday. The idea was so random, everyone was caught off guard.
If the team hadn’t been composed of elites who worked overtime like crazy, they couldn’t have gotten it done today!
Listening in on the conversation between Qiao Yanjue and Xia Xibei, was it possible that... This had something to do with her?
While many thoughts tumbled through his mind, the a.s.sistant’s expression stayed the same.
Xia Xibei didn’t know that the unsmiling a.s.sistant had so many internal speculations. She didn’t refuse the invitation and got into the car.
Behind her, Xia Qinghan, who had just come out of the building, stopped and watched in surprise as Xia Xibei entered a low-key, luxury business car.
She hadn’t seen the people in the car clearly, but people who could afford to drive this kind of luxury car were definitely not ordinary people.
But how did Xia Xibei get involved with people like that?
Xia Xibei was almost an orphan, without the care of a father or a mother. How could she know someone like that?
Thinking of Xia Xibei’s beautiful face, Xia Qinghan got a shocking idea.
Had she found a rich benefactor?!
Although this idea pa.s.sed by in a flash, it filled Xia Qinghan with suspicion and contempt.
If Xia Xibei really did such a thing, it would be disgusting!
Meanwhile, Xia Xibei had no idea that Xia Qinghan saw her get in the car and had imagined a bunch of inexplicable things.
Soon, the car reached a restaurant.
As soon as they got out of the car, the manager greeted them with a warm smile.
“Mr. Qiao, welcome!”
After seeing Xia Xibei next to Qiao Yanjue, he was stunned for a moment, his smile brightening soon after.
This must be Mr. Qiao’s girlfriend! She was really young and beautiful!
The two of them together were well-matched and pleasing to the eye!
Thinking this, the manager led the two into the private room.
Looking around, Xia Xibei became confused when she saw that they were the only people in the room.
“They are eating nearby.” Qiao Yanjue saw her confusion and explained, “I am their boss, after all. I’m afraid that they will have indigestion if they eat with me.”
Xia Xibei chuckled, not having realized he was so self-aware.
That being the case, she didn’t ask his staff to eat together with them.
The private room had old-fas.h.i.+oned decor, with small rockery and flowing water.
The environment was very good with semi-circular, antique-style benches so one could sit close together or apart.
After sitting down, the two of them were separated by a distance of about two people.
Soon, the manager and his crew brought out the prepared dishes.
Putting a cup of soup in front of Xia Xibei, he explained with a very bright and sincere smile, “This is the soup Mr. Qiao had us prepare especially for you.”
