Chapter 56: Introducing a Date

Lanting Teppanyaki Buffet Restaurant.

This was a three-story detached clubhouse-style high-end restaurant with a beautiful environment and an open kitchen.

They sat down in the private room.

Hu Mingli took out her phone to start taking photos and checking in, and by the way, posted to her Moments.

Tang Song took the tablet handed over by the waiter and selected three 399-yuan premium buffet sets.

Gold brick foie gras, scampi, roasted durian, abalone, Wagyu beef, premium fruits, drinks...

Everything was unlimited, and they could eat as much as they wanted.

Guo Peng opened his mouth, originally wanting to say that the 299 set was enough, but thinking of Tang Song's BMW 330i, he wisely shut up.

The three discussed for a while and ordered everything they wanted to eat.

While waiting for the dishes, Guo Peng couldn't help but sigh: "Director Chen is really shameless, stealing your credit and squeezing you out."

Tang Song said: "I can roughly guess his plan. He should be trying to take this opportunity to be promoted to CTO. Du Shaokai's uncle is Director Li, who is in charge of channel business, and he wants to pull more votes."

"If a CTO is parachuted in, then our Director Chen will definitely collapse."

Hu Mingli winked: "It's really possible. People have invested in our company, it's impossible not to insert some of their own people. I'm just hoping for a CTO with good character to suppress and rub our Old Chen hard!"

"Being said by you, Mingli, I'm actually a bit excited, wanting to appreciate the expression on our Director Chen's face at that time."

Soon, the freshly made dishes were served one after another.

The rich fragrance rushed toward them, making people's index fingers twitch.

The foie gras that melted in the mouth was silky and delicate, the charred Wagyu beef was full of juice...

In the lively small private room, the fragrance of food was mixed with laughter.

After eating and drinking enough.

Guo Peng covered his round belly and asked: "Little Song, what are you planning to do after resigning?"

"Entrepreneurship." Tang Song wiped his hands and smiled: "I already have a direction, and I've found a reliable partner. It's already in preparation."

"Being your own boss at least means you don't have to suffer. If your family conditions allow it and you have your own ideas, it's a good choice." Guo Peng's eyes were full of emotion, and then he added: "You still need to be cautious in the early stages, don't invest too much. The current environment isn't very good."

Over the years, he had come into contact with quite a few people and knew many friends who were heavily in debt because of entrepreneurship, so he couldn't help but offer a few words of advice.

"Thank you, Brother Guo, for your golden words."

Hu Mingli put down her phone and smiled: "I really didn't see it before, Tang Song is actually the most excellent boy in the company. To be honest, I really regret not taking the initiative to chase you before."

Guo Peng joked: "Too late, it's useless to regret now. Why don't you consider me, this potential stock?"

Hu Mingli blinked: "Brother Guo, your stock is already on the downhill stage, it has nothing to do with potential stocks. I'm afraid my investment will go down the drain."

"Hehe, Mingli, you're 27 this year, right? Your family must be in a hurry, right?"

"Yo, Brother Guo, you're trying to hurt each other!"

Tang Song listened to the two teasing each other on the side, occasionally inserting a sentence with a smile.

At 8:30 PM, the three walked out of the restaurant entrance.

Guo Peng shook his phone and smiled: "The car I called will be here soon. You really don't need to see me off. You two are just on the way, there's no need to delay for half an hour for me."

"Alright then, Brother Guo, be careful on the road, let me know when you get home."

"Alright." Guo Peng patted Tang Song on the shoulder hard, sighing: "Remember to find me for a drink when you have time. Even if you resign, we're in the same city, not far."

Tang Song nodded: "Thank you for taking care of me these few months, let's keep in touch."

"Let's keep in touch. Yo, my car is here. Goodbye, Little Song, bye-bye, Mingli." Guo Peng waved his hand and ran toward the side of the road.

He got into a new energy car with hazard lights flashing.

"I'm off." Hu Mingli stretched and stepped down the steps.

Because it had rained a few days ago, the temperature hadn't risen.

Hu Mingli tightened the short jacket on her body.

Turning back, just wanting to say something witty, she was stunned on the spot.

Tang Song walked toward her against the evening breeze of April with one hand in his pocket.

The orange-yellow lights lit up half of his body, his upright and handsome features were intertwined with light and shadow, and his apricot-colored knitted cardigan swayed gently.

There was a temperament about him, like the night breeze tonight, cold and quiet.

[Outfit-Night Cool] effect triggered.

Hu Mingli just stared blankly at this old colleague, her brain buzzing.

Outrageous! It was just losing weight and skincare, how could there be such a big change?

She admitted that Tang Song's appearance was indeed not bad, but his skin was relatively poor, his features had no prominent points, and he wasn't exquisite and three-dimensional enough, still having some distance from a real big handsome guy.

But Tang Song at this moment, this unique temperament was really a big plus, making her a bit dumbfounded.

"What's wrong, Sister Mingli?" Tang Song waved his right hand in front of her.

Hu Mingli examined him carefully for a while and sighed: "Tang Song, you are really handsome walking in the wind in this outfit, making me infatuated. If I didn't know how many pounds I weigh, I'd really want to try chasing you in reverse."

It was more of a tease at the dinner table before, but now she really thought so.

However, she had self-knowledge. Her figure and appearance were even worse than Zhao Yue's, and a rich and handsome guy like Tang Song definitely wouldn't look at her.

Being praised like this, Tang Song's face flushed, and he said somewhat shyly: "I have to admit that."

Hu Mingli couldn't help but "pfft" and laughed, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Come, come, come, stand in front of the car, I'll take a photo for you."

"Sister Mingli, you aren't going to do anything bad with my photo, are you?"

"Go away! Am I that thirsty?" Hu Mingli pushed him and rolled her eyes, "It's a good thing, I'll tell you later."

Tang Song smiled and consciously stood in front of his BMW car.

"Click—"

"Too dark, move to the right, good, here is fine!"

"Click—"

"OK, this one is fine, come, come, look up, one more."

After tossing for a long while, Hu Mingli was finally satisfied.

She sat into the car.

Tang Song asked curiously: "Sister Mingli, what exactly are you going to use my photo for?"

Hu Mingli blinked and asked back: "Tang Song, I remember you've always been single, right?"

"How can you slander people out of thin air? I'm not single from birth, I've had a relationship before, it's not as miserable as you say!" Tang Song corrected righteously.

He wasn't lying about this. That summer after graduating from high school, he was very, very close to his 'white moonlight'.

Although neither side said it clearly, that youthful, ignorant feeling was real.

Once, he even drank too much, hugged her in KTV for more than an hour, and she didn't get angry.

That first love experience that made his heart beat faster was still vivid in his mind.

Hu Mingli smiled: "Fine, fine, fine. My meaning is that you are single now, I'll introduce you to a date, do you want it?"

"Uh..." Tang Song twitched the corners of his mouth, speechless.

"You've been working out lately, right? My friend is also a fitness enthusiast, a very professional one, she can totally help you."

Tang Song was silent for a moment, weighing his words: "Sister Mingli, thank you for your kindness, but I'm focusing on my career now. Why don't we forget it?"

Things like friends introducing dates, if not handled well, would make all 3 people uncomfortable.

Besides, he wasn't short of excellent girls around him now.

"It doesn't matter, you can look at the photo before deciding." Hu Mingli had a mysterious smile on her face: "To be honest, if it weren't for seeing you so handsome today, I wouldn't dare to introduce you. My friend is half a 'face-control', very picky."

Tang Song said in a difficult tone: "Why don't we wait until I'm stable? After all, I just resigned and haven't started my business yet, it doesn't sound good to say it out."

Hu Mingli didn't speak, lowered her head, and operated her phone. ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
