Chapter 734: with translation of chapter title

I looked at the woman who came out of another room with a surprised gaze.

At the same time, she also smiled and looked at me.

I felt that a long time had passed,

I only then heard her voice speaking,

"Hello, Chairman Zhao."

"Kang Yali, how could it be you."

"Yeah, I didn't expect it, Chairman Zhao—no, Jianqiang brother—I also didn't expect to meet you here." Kang Yali said with a smile.

I looked at Liu Yong, then looked at Kang Yali,

"Kang Yali, it turns out you are Mr. Liu's person."

Kang Yali still smiled and said: "Jianqiang brother, I have always followed Mr. Liu. I just never had the chance to tell you."

This woman is really not simple.

After Niu Ju had an incident back then, she disappeared.

I always thought she came to Da Heng Group for money, using Sun Dajun, and then partnered with Niu Ju,

To swindle our money.

Actually, as soon as she appeared today,

I understood, she wasn't that simple just for money.

It turns out there is such a powerful figure behind her.

Everything was unexpected.

Liu Yong stood up.

"Zhao Jianqiang,

you and Ya Li are old friends, you've known each other for over twenty years.

Today old friends reunite, we should have a good chat.

I won't get involved in your affairs."

Kang Yali immediately replied,

"Okay, Mr. Liu, everything will follow your arrangements."

Liu Yong then said to Kang Yali: "When will that little Xu come from the south?"

"Mr. Liu, he said he'll arrive at Huaihai tomorrow noon." Kang Yali replied.

"Good, when he comes, let him meet Zhao Jianqiang, and from then on handle Da Heng Group's affairs." Liu Yong said.

"Okay, Mr. Liu." Kang Yali quickly replied.

"You and Zhao Jianqiang catch up, I'm leaving; at noon I'll treat your brother Jianqiang to a good meal, that's my way of expressing my feelings." Liu Yong then stood up and left.

Only I and Kang Yali remained in the room.

Kang Yali asked without any guilt,

"Jianqiang brother, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll treat you."

I couldn't answer Kang Yali.

This woman, I really don't understand her anymore.

Looking at her, it's like facing a deep well,

inside hides too many things.

I didn't answer Kang Yali,

I turned and walked toward the door.

At this moment Kang Yali chased after me.

"Jianqiang brother, I know you're angry with me, but I had no choice, and back then I couldn't explain to you.

Now you've left like this."

I can't face Mr. Liu.

Your matters aren't settled yet."

After listening to Kang Yali's words,

My feelings were very complex; saying it's anger isn't entirely accurate.

I turned back and said to Kang Yali: "Kang Yali, don't follow me."

My affairs with Mr. Liu, you don't need to ask.

In a moment I'll hand the contract to Zhuang Shi and that'll be it.

There isn't much past affection between us to recount.

You take your Yangguan road, I take my single-plank bridge; we two will not interfere with each other's water."

I then pushed open the door, strode out of the living room, and headed toward the safety passage.

What I didn't expect was,

Kang Yali was still chasing behind me,

"Jianqiang brother, can't you listen to me say a couple of sentences?"

You leaving like this,

I believe Mr. Liu will be very angry.

Since I was able to meet you,

I dare to face you.

Some things, you can't let emotions dictate.

Otherwise, I will achieve nothing.

Kang Yali's words made me slow my pace.

Yeah, since when do you still act emotionally, like a child?

Liu Yong had Kang Yali come out to see me, surely he has his purpose.

Kang Yali said it plainly: if I don't keep in touch with Kang Yali, I will achieve nothing.

I stopped in my tracks. Kang Yali caught up to my side.

At this moment I said to Kang Yali,

"Ya Li, you didn't ask me what I want to eat. I heard the Yangfang Hidden Fish here in Huaihai is good.

Let's go try it."

"Jianqiang, your mood shifts quickly, showing you've matured another step.

Hehe, fine, I also want to taste the local delicacies.

"Did you drive?" Kang Yali asked with a smile beside me.

"I have," I replied.

"Alright, I'll take you to a place; their Yangfang Hidden Fish is very authentic," Kang Yali said, then from behind wrapped her arm around my arm.

I tried to shake off Kang Yali's hand, truly feeling very disgusted.

I despise this woman too much.

Her smile, her tears, are all deceitful,

I feel her acting is more than ten times better than Yang Tao's.

The prettier the woman, the more dangerous; that saying is not false at all.

I tried to shake Kang Yali's hand, but she held on tightly.

Kang Yali laughed at that moment, "Jianqiang, you can't shake me off now.

Really, I have utilitarian value to you.

Past matters have blown away like the wind.

We should look forward.

There are many things I never had a proper chance to explain to you. Today happens to be such a chance; don't you want to hear?

"Fine, then I'll listen," I said helplessly.

We went down together to the 9th floor, then took the elevator to the underground garage.

I started the car, with Kang Yali in the passenger seat.

We drove to a private restaurant called Runyuan Pavilion.

The waiter quickly led us to a beautifully decorated private room.

Soon the dishes and drinks were brought over.

Kang Yali pointed to a seat and said, "Jianqiang, you sit. What liquor will you drink?"

"Baijiu, then. Old friends reunited; we must have some baijiu," I said in a drawn-out tone.

"Hehe, indeed, we've been old friends for over twenty years.

Even in my dreams I think of having a meal with you.

I'll accompany you in drinking baijiu," Kang Yali generously uncorked a fine bottle of baijiu.

Then she began pouring the liquor.

While pouring, she said,

"This restaurant serves private cuisine,

Their Yangfang Hidden Fish is exceptionally good.

I love to eat it.

Jianqiang, do you know why this dish is called Yangfang Hidden Fish?"

"I don't know, I only know it's to eat."

"Knowing how to eat is fine; many people don't even know how to eat, that's the real trouble.

Look, the fish is hidden beneath the lamb.

First you boil lamb broth, then stew the lamb meat,

Then use the lamb broth to stew the fish.

Fish plus lamb makes it fresh.

The fish must be hidden inside the lamb, only its head and tail exposed.

The lamb has the fish's fresh taste, the fish meat has the lamb's aroma,

Only when the two combine is it delicious.

Taste this lamb; isn't it different from lamb elsewhere?" After saying that, Kang Yali picked a piece of lamb and placed it on a plate for me.

I didn't move,

"Ya Li, I came here not to hear your dish introductions, right?"

"Jianqiang, don't be impatient, I want to tell you,

The matter before us, like this dish, the fish must be hidden under the lamb to be fragrant.

Moreover, the lamb must never outshine the main.

In fact, tasting each dish is like tasting different lives," Kang Yali mused.

I laughed, "I understand what you mean; you simply want to say,

This dish is fragrant because the lamb and fish are mixed, just as you contain me, I contain you."

After all, my brother Jianqiang is a bit smarter, then it's clear.

You have me in you, I have you in me; this world simply cannot be seen clearly, so why bother to see it clearly?

Sometimes I think to myself, as a woman, to survive in this society, you must sing the song of whatever mountain you find yourself on.

But no matter how hard I sing, not everyone likes to hear it. Come, we, long-separated reunited, let's have a drink. Kang Yali raised her wine cup and said.
