Chapter 193

Half an hour later, the Mercedes stopped at the entrance of the Jiangcheng International Airport arrival hall.

Qin Ze got out of the car, told the driver to wait there, and strode inside.

The arrival hall was bustling with people.

Qin Ze scanned the area and soon saw a familiar figure.

By the railing at the arrival gate.

Che Che was wearing a white short-cut knitted cardigan, paired with black skinny jeans, outlining a pair of straight, slender legs.

Especially those unforgettable facial features, as exquisite as if they were painted.

Her figure was even more impeccable.

Full chest, slender waist, rounded hips.

Many passing travelers couldn't help but turn their heads to look a few more times.

Qin Ze walked toward her.

Che Che also saw Qin Ze, and a brilliant smile immediately bloomed on her face.

She dragged her suitcase and walked quickly to meet him.

"President Qin!"

"Long time no see!"

She called out, her voice filled with a hint of excitement.

Then, she opened her arms wide and gave Qin Ze a big hug.

A faint fragrance wafted over.

It was that kind of clear, sweet floral and fruity scent, mixed with a little bit of milky fragrance; it smelled very good.

Qin Ze was stunned for a moment by this sudden hug.

He could feel that Che Che's body was very soft and warm.

She hugged him very naturally, just like meeting an old friend after a long separation, without any awkwardness or distance.

Qin Ze smiled and reached out to pat her back:

"How long have you been here?"

Che Che let go of him, stepped back half a step, and said with a smile:

"I've been waiting for over half an hour!"

"I thought you were going to stand me up today!"

Qin Ze felt a bit embarrassed:

"I was indeed delayed by something today, sorry."

Che Che waved her hand, blinking those peach-blossom eyes:

"It's okay, it's okay. Big bosses are busy, I understand!"

"But... I've been waiting on an empty stomach!"

As she said this, she deliberately touched her stomach, making a pitiful expression.

Qin Ze was amused by her appearance.

He reached out and took her suitcase:

"Let's go, get in the car first."

Che Che nodded and walked alongside him toward the exit.

The two arrived at the parking lot, and the driver helped put the suitcase into the trunk.

Qin Ze opened the back door, let Che Che sit in first, and then went around to the other side to get in.

The car started and drove out of the airport.

Che Che sat in the back, turned her head to look at the night view outside the window, and exclaimed:

"Jiangcheng is not bad! The night view is quite beautiful!"

Qin Ze smiled:

"It's far worse than Hu City."

Che Che turned back to look at him:

"President Qin, you're being modest!"

"Let me tell you, I looked down from the plane just now, and Jiangcheng's night view has a great feel to it!"

Her eyes were sparkling as she spoke.

Qin Ze looked at her and suddenly felt that

this girl was indeed quite different from other women.

These days, the women he had been in contact with were mostly quite reserved.

Ye Zhuzhu was the type of well-bred young lady who was very measured in her words and actions and rarely took the initiative to express her thoughts.

Jiang Wan was the cold type who kept everything inside and didn't easily reveal her feelings.

Su Qingqing was straightforward, but she was the type who only talked about business.

But Che Che was different.

Whatever thoughts or needs she had, she would say them directly.

Just like just now, she said she was hungry.

If it were another woman, she would probably say it euphemistically, or simply not say it at all, waiting for the other party to take the initiative.

But Che Che just said it directly.

Without any awkwardness or affectation.

Qin Ze smiled and said to the driver in front:

"Driver, go to that food street by the river and find a good barbecue stall."

The driver responded and adjusted the navigation route.

The car drove through the night.

About twenty minutes later, the car stopped beside a bustling food street.

Qin Ze took Che Che out of the car and walked along the street.

This street was very lively.

On both sides were all kinds of snack stalls and restaurants, brightly lit and noisy.

The air was filled with the aroma of various foods.

The charred aroma of grilled meat, the spiciness of chili, and the richness of cumin mixed together, making one's appetite soar.

Che Che took a deep breath, her eyes glowing.

Qin Ze took her to find a barbecue stall that looked quite popular.

The storefront wasn't big, and there were a few folding tables and plastic chairs set up in the open-air area at the entrance.

There were already several tables of guests, and it was very lively.

Qin Ze found a seat on the edge and sat down.

Che Che also sat down, curiously looking at the surrounding environment.

A waiter walked over and handed them a menu.

Qin Ze pushed the menu to Che Che:

"Whatever you want to eat, just order it."

Che Che took the menu, scanned it, and then began to order without hesitation:

"Give me a serving of spicy crayfish, the large size!"

"Six garlic-grilled oysters!"

"Twenty skewers of grilled lamb!"

"Four grilled chicken wings!"

"And... a serving of spicy crab!"

She ordered a whole bunch in one breath.

After ordering, she returned the menu to the waiter and then looked at Qin Ze with a smile.

Qin Ze was a bit dumbfounded:

"You ordered so much, can you finish it?"

Che Che said as a matter of course:

"I can finish it!"

"Besides, this can be considered my roadside welcome banquet!"

"It's not too much for me to order this much, right!"

Qin Ze smiled and didn't say anything more.

Soon, the dishes were served one after another.

The table was full.

Che Che looked at the table full of food, her eyes lighting up.

She didn't stand on ceremony, put on gloves, picked up a crayfish, and started peeling it.

Her movements were very skillful.

In a few quick motions, she peeled the shell clean, revealing the white, tender meat.

She dipped it in sauce and stuffed it into her mouth in one bite, her cheeks bulging, eating with a look of satisfaction:

"Mmm! Delicious!"

Qin Ze picked up a skewer of grilled lamb and ate it slowly.

Che Che chatted with him while eating:

"President Qin, you're such a big boss, why do you eat at this kind of roadside stall?"

She blinked her eyes, carrying a hint of curiosity:

"I thought rich people like you would go to those five-star hotels to eat, with a table full of dishes presented like works of art!"

Qin Ze smiled:

"In five-star hotels, there are some things you can't eat."

After hearing this, Che Che nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, yes!"

As she said this, she picked up another crayfish and started peeling it.

Qin Ze looked at her and felt in his heart that this girl was indeed very down-to-earth.

Generally speaking, those big internet celebrities with millions of fans would have some idol baggage.

When going out to eat, they would have to find places with good environments and high style.

But Che Che had absolutely no such baggage.

She just sat on the plastic chair at the roadside stall, wearing gloves and peeling crayfish, eating with her mouth full of oil, not caring about her image at all.

The two chatted while eating.

Halfway through the meal, Che Che suddenly put down the shrimp shells in her hand, wiped her hands, picked up a glass of beer in front of her, and looked at Qin Ze:

"President Qin, actually I've always been quite curious."

"We're about the same age, right?"

Qin Ze nodded:

"About the same, early twenties."

Che Che said:

"Look at you, early twenties, driving a Bugatti, and running your own company as a boss."

"To be honest, I've worked with quite a few bosses."

"Some bosses look quite rich, and the cars they drive are all worth millions."

"But later, after talking more, I found out that their cars were all under the company's name, and some were even financed."

"Someone like you, who bought a Bugatti in full in your early twenties, I've really never seen."

"Tell me, what exactly do you do?"

When she said this, her tone carried a hint of probing.

Qin Ze understood.

This girl was probing his background.

After all, for a young man in his early twenties to have such a big hand, it really made people curious.

Qin Ze put down his glass and smiled:

"Che Che, some things are not convenient to say."

"I can only tell you that during our cooperation, my identity is kept secret from fans, and it's also kept secret from you."

Che Che was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Then she pouted:

"Tch, so mysterious?"

Qin Ze smiled, neither denying nor admitting it.

Just at this moment,

he saw a status bar appear above Che Che's head.
