Chapter 1118

~6 min read 1,006 words

The two walked out of the bar, the night wind blew on their faces, Betty Brant was a bit tipsy, and she asked Su Quan a question on a whim: "I live nearby, do you want to go up and have a cup of coffee?"

After saying this, she had a trace of regret; she regretted that she had no experience and spoke too recklessly and too bluntly.

However, the words had already been spoken; although she was a bit embarrassed, she didn't explain or avoid it, but waited for the other party's reply with some expectation.

Su Quan shrugged and said with a smile: "Why not?"

Betty Brant smiled like a flower; it was great, she wasn't rejected!

Looking back at the first half of her life, she had never done such a rash and bold thing, but all so-called truths are no match for the sentence 'I'm willing'.

Old people often say 'I've eaten more salt than you've walked', which actually makes sense, because sometimes rich experience can indeed make things twice as effective with half the effort.

For example, when you want to thread a needle, but the thread end can't get into the needle eye, lick it with saliva and it will go in.

A pot of wine for a soulmate, how many springs in life.

Spring...

A year's plan starts in spring, and a day's plan starts in the morning.

In the early morning, Betty Brant, who had just fallen asleep not long ago, climbed up tenaciously after several alarm clock rings.

Looking at the empty bed beside her, Betty Brant was stunned; she endured the discomfort of a hangover, supported her body that felt like it was falling apart, took a shower, washed up, and went to work.

Daily Bugle.

At the desk outside the boss's office, Betty Brant braced herself and started a new day of work.

However, her work was fine, and her boss was as sharp-tongued as ever, but she didn't take it to heart at all; the pressure and irritability accumulated in the past seemed to have disappeared.

"Is this the correct way to relieve stress?"

In Betty Brant's mind, the man she regarded as a soulmate couldn't help but emerge.

Then, she thought of the other party's departure without saying goodbye in the morning, and couldn't help but feel a bit gloomy and lost.

After a busy day of work, just as she came out of the newspaper office, Betty Brant's sight was blocked by the bouquet coming toward her.

"Is it you?" Betty Brant, who took a few steps back, saw the person behind the bouquet clearly.

It was none other than Su Quan.

"For you." Su Quan handed over the flowers and said with some complaints: "Tell me your number; I don't want to knock on the door foolishly again."

"Knock on the door?"

"I went downstairs to buy breakfast in the morning, and when I came back, I knocked on the door for a long time and no one opened it; later I thought, you should have gone to work."

This is nine truths and one lie; in the morning, Su Quan did go downstairs to buy breakfast, but the restaurant wasn't ready, so he found that Betty Brant had woken up, and then she went to work in a hurry.

Then, he finished his breakfast at the restaurant.

As for knocking on the door?

Knowing that Betty Brant had already left, what was there to knock on...

Betty Brant was stunned after hearing this; she thought Su Quan was a player who finished the game and left after clearing the level, but she didn't expect him to go downstairs to buy her breakfast.

Embarrassment and regret surged into her heart, and Betty Brant apologized hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you went to buy breakfast; I thought you... you left, and then I went to work."

"Let me treat you to dinner, just as an expression of my apology, okay?"

Su Quan said with a smile: "You'd better treat me to coffee; I've already booked the restaurant for dinner."

Betty Brant's face flushed slightly, and she nodded generously: "Okay."

The two came to the side of the road and got into a silver-white sports car under Betty Brant's surprised gaze.

Twenty minutes later, the two entered a very famous high-end restaurant; Su Quan said his name and came to his seat under the guidance of the waiter.

"I heard there are a few good dishes that need to be prepared in advance, so I booked them together when I booked the table in the morning; you can see if there is anything else you want to eat." Su Quan said with a smile.

Betty Brant didn't mind at all that Su Quan had ordered the dishes in advance; her attention was all on 'booking in the morning'.

So, Su Quan booked the restaurant in the morning to have dinner with her, not because of some reason and a temporary idea!

Betty Brant felt more and more moved the more she thought about it, and felt more and more guilty the more she thought about it.

The two chatted while eating; Betty Brant thought of the sports car Su Quan drove and couldn't help but ask curiously: "By the way, I still don't know what you do?"

Su Quan said with a smile: "I'm in the investment industry, investing in some potential projects and people in advance, helping them succeed, and then getting what I want, or rather, a greater return."

Investment industry, that's very appropriate!

Su Quan continued: "You know Oscorp, right? They are cooperating with the military on the 'Human Enhancement Serum' project, but the investment is large and the effect is slow; once Norman Osborn fails to complete the experiment within the specified time, he will lose the military's investment, and Oscorp will also be acquired."

"During the day, I went to see Norman Osborn and talked to him, preparing to continue investing in this project after he fails."
