Chapter 614: Carefully selected restaurant

Meeting Gao Zhan at this time and place, Wang Zhaoning was naturally surprised: "Are you here to visit a prisoner too?"

This is a prison, and people from outside basically only have this one purpose for coming here.

Gao Zhan's expression was slightly stunned, then he shook his head and smiled: "No, I accompanied Aci here."

Wang Zhaoning's expression was slightly surprised as she turned to look at Shen Ci, and saw Shen Ci nodding: "I brought him here."

Duanduan observed the expressions of the few people on the side, eating melon without speaking.

It was Wang Zhaoning, she soon reacted. After all, she was not at an age where she was inexperienced and didn't understand anything. Looking at the two standing in front of her, she already knew in her heart that their relationship was clearly not as simple as before.

Immediately revealing a meaningful smile, Wang Zhaoning looked at Shen Ci and said: "You should have said so earlier. If I had known you two had serious business today, I wouldn't have asked you to come over."

"Seeing my brother is also serious business."

Wang Zhaoning sighed slightly, and then looked at the time: "The time is just right. You two can just go to have lunch when you rush back to the city. Duanduan and I won't disturb you."

"Okay, Duanduan, then you send sister-in-law, Xu Xu, and Xixi back."

Shen Ci didn't say anything else, after all, the next part was a date belonging to her and Gao Zhan.

Wang Zhaoning raised her hand and gently pinched Shen Ci's arm, and said with full satisfaction: "Go, have fun."

She had long regarded herself as Shen Ci's maternal family. In Wang Zhaoning's view, Gao Zhan was a good boy and was very well-matched with Shen Ci.

Back in the car, Shen Ci looked at Gao Zhan and asked: "First date, did you make arrangements in advance?"

"Of course." Gao Zhan said softly: "Although I have no experience, I still have to plan it. I hope you like it."

"Where are we going now?"

"Let's go back to the city for lunch. I remember you said you like Chinese food. There is a Chinese restaurant in the city that tastes very good, and I have booked a table in advance."

Because the destination was different, the return journey took another road.

And Shen Ci was much more familiar with this return road.

She had invested heavily in Yangming District and acquired dozens of corporate factories, which were basically concentrated in this one square area.

On the way, she also saw the hotel she bought from Su Zheyuan, which was now in the midst of renovation and refurbishment.

And the unfinished building project she took over in a joint venture with Uncle Yang was also under construction and reconstruction now.

"I grew up in Yangming District when I was a child."

Gao Zhan suddenly looked out the window and said: "At that time, although Longcheng was also very prosperous, I felt that the gap between the districts was not so obvious. Now it seems that the development of Yangming District is really not good. It has been the same for many years, and there has been no substantial change."

"But at that time, there were many factories in Yangming District, providing millions of jobs for the municipal government. However, it was precisely because there were so many factories that the district could not develop."

"Now many factories have closed down, which makes this place look even more deserted and dilapidated."

Listening to Gao Zhan's slightly melancholy tone, Shen Ci said: "You are quite nostalgic."

"It's not nostalgia, maybe it's just being touched by the scene. I'm usually busy, and it's really been a long time since I came to Yangming District."

Shen Ci took out her phone and opened the calendar. Her memories of the previous life had become relatively blurred, and after being reborn, the time and trajectory of many things were different from the previous life.

She had a premonition that the transformation of Yangming District should come very soon.

"Shui Yun Jian."

When Gao Zhan's car slowly stopped in the parking space outside the main entrance of Shui Yun Jian, Shen Ci realized that the Chinese restaurant he mentioned that tasted good was actually the Chinese restaurant in Shui Yun Jian.

And as one of the shareholders and bosses here, Shen Ci naturally knew about her own restaurant.

The Chinese restaurant here is a "Black Pearl Double Diamond," and the per capita cost is very high.

"Have you been here?" Gao Zhan suddenly looked at Shen Ci and asked.

Shen Ci looked at him, didn't lie, and nodded: "I've been here a few times, the taste here is indeed good."

"Really? It's my first time here!" Gao Zhan said, naturally holding Shen Ci's hand: "Then you treat this time, I'll pay."

Shen Ci smiled without saying a word, letting him hold her hand and walk into the gate of "Shui Yun Jian."

Taking the elevator directly to the Chinese restaurant, it was almost time for a meal, and there were already a few tables of guests dining in the restaurant lobby.

The staff naturally didn't find Shen Ci unfamiliar, but they didn't rashly state her identity, waiting tactfully for Shen Ci to speak first.

Shen Ci didn't speak, Gao Zhan took the initiative: "I have a reservation, Mr. Gao, for two."

"Please wait a moment." After the waiter found Gao Zhan's reservation information in the system, he looked up: "Mr. Gao, a window seat has been reserved for you here today."

When he spoke, his eyes subconsciously looked at Shen Ci. Seeing that Miss Shen had been silent, he tentatively asked: "Do you need a private room with better privacy for the two of you here?"

Private rooms have a minimum consumption, and they are very expensive!

The waiter was very smart and took the initiative to say: "There is no minimum consumption for private rooms during weekday lunch hours."

Hearing this, Gao Zhan looked at Shen Ci to ask for her opinion.

Shen Ci smiled slightly at the waiter, and then said: "No need, just give us the window seat in the lobby."

Thus, the waiter didn't say anything more, raised his hand to lead the way: "Mr. Gao, Miss Shen, please this way, watch your step."

Gao Zhan frowned slightly, looking at Shen Ci in confusion: "How does he know your surname is Shen?"

"I've been here a few times, it's not fresh news to be remembered when you're so pretty, right?"

"That's true."

Gao Zhan didn't think much about it, held Shen Ci's hand, and followed.

After sitting down, Gao Zhan looked around at the restaurant's environment and the excellent view from this position, and only then did he feel satisfied and relieved.

Shen Ci observed his reaction and couldn't help but tease: "What? Do you think you found the right restaurant?"

Gao Zhan smiled and nodded frankly: "It's really not something I'm good at. After I looked at the reviews online and compared the per capita cost, I finally chose this one which is relatively more expensive, thinking that the probability of making a mistake would be smaller."

"Don't be so cautious. I agreed to go on a date with you just because I want to date you."

"I understand, but after all, it's our first time, I want it to be more formal."

He handed the menu to Shen Ci, gentlemanly letting Shen Ci order the dishes.

Last time when they were one-day lovers, they both exchanged each other's preferences. Shen Ci still remembered them all, so she didn't order anything Gao Zhan didn't eat, didn't like, or was allergic to, and carefully selected four dishes and one soup, balancing the tastes of both.

"Gao Zhan?"

And just at this moment, two young and beautiful girls suddenly came to Gao Zhan's side. One of the long-haired girls looked surprised, looking at Gao Zhan in shock: "Is it really you?"

While speaking, her gaze subconsciously fell on Shen Ci opposite Gao Zhan.

Gao Zhan was also quite surprised to see the other party, but responded calmly: "Feifei!" ===== CHAPTER 615 =====
