Chapter 292: Crashing the Dinner Party

That's right, it should be like that, but it's a matter between a man and a woman; sometimes, even a sentence or two can't make it clear, for example.

Alright, stop, what I'm talking about now is the matter between my son and this woman, not between the two of us, understand?

Although Liu Peipei hasn't spoken yet, Xiao Ming already knows what she wants to say next.

So, he will absolutely not give Liu Peipei this opportunity.

Hehe, General Manager Xiao, you're really quite sensitive. Alright, I wasn't planning to say this either, so go ahead—what do you want to do next?

Originally, I thought you didn't need to go back to that company, but I think you still really need to.

Really necessary?

Yes, really need to go back to a company, and we must get on good terms with Zong Mengni; only then can we find out what her relationship with Xiao Yunzhe really is.

But this might be difficult, right? And since she already knows my identity now, she'll definitely have reservations when dealing with me going forward.

Even if she has reservations, he will definitely have some loopholes, after all, she's a woman; when she shows her true feelings, you'll definitely be able to notice that.

Alright, I got it; from now on, I know what I need to do.

Alright, it's already this time; I estimate Xiao Yunzhe should arrange to have a meal with her, and then we two will show up as uninvited guests—what do you think?

What do you mean by 'we'? Are we just going to go like that? If so, wouldn't that be exposing my identity to the world?

Now that it's come to this, what practical meaning is there in continuing to hide? I really think there's none at all.

General Manager Xiao, if you're going to say that, then that's really the case.

So I'm saying, some things don't need to be kept hidden any longer. Alright, you get ready; I'll go check where Xiao Yunzhe will go at noon.

After speaking, Liu Peipei nodded, then turned and left this place.

Usually, after all, Liu Peipei doesn't work here, so under normal circumstances she wouldn't appear at the company.

Of course, if Xiao Ming wanted to find out his son's whereabouts, that would be as easy as turning over one's hand.

At noon sharp, Harmony Beauty Restaurant.

This restaurant can be said to be the highest-end Western restaurant in Anjin City.

To be honest, since they met, they've never eaten at such a high-end place before; this should also be a first-time occurrence.

Come on, Miss Zong, over here.

After seeing Zong Mengni walk over, Xiao Yunzhe hurriedly stood up and waved at her.

Finally, Zong Mengni quickly walked over and then sat down opposite Xiao Yunzhe.

Yun Zhe, how did you decide on this kind of place?

How come? Don't you like this kind of place?

No, this is a high-end restaurant; look, I'm wearing work clothes today, coming here to eat seems a bit inappropriate, right?

Hehe, what's inappropriate about it? Besides, to be honest, I didn't think that much at the time; I just felt that this restaurant's steaks are air‑freighted in, so the taste must be great.

I heard that to eat here you need a membership, and outsiders can't just come in whenever they want, right?

That's right, do you see our current window seat? We reserved it specially; otherwise we might not even have gotten a seat.

I seem to have heard my dad say before that even private rooms at this place are hard to come by.

Private rooms? Hehe, don't even think about it; moreover, without a deep background, you probably couldn't get a private room at all—having this window seat is already pretty good.

Hmm, but this is also nice; this seat actually lets you see the outside lake scenery, which is really not bad.

By the way, isn't the company not busy right now?

Not bad, just some routine business; and when you called me just now, I was in the process of re‑checking those data reports.

Alright, take a look—what do you want to eat? Let me tell you, their most famous dish is this beef, which is all shipped from Japan, so the flavor is absolutely fine.

All right, then if that's the case, I'll just follow your recommendation; today I'll really give this a try.

Good service staff.

Having said that, Xiao Yunzhe snapped his fingers, and soon a service staff member came over.

Mr. Xiao, may I ask what you'd like to order?

Oh, take a look—this steak, I'll have two of them.

Sure, no problem. Besides this, what else?

Besides that, please bring out all your special dishes, one of each.

Hehe, you're really rolling in money.

Just then, a voice suddenly came over; afterward he tightened up a bit, then hurriedly looked around.

Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Ming coming up to him, and behind him followed a woman.

Dad, how did you come here?

How come? Aren't you welcoming me?

No, no, Dad, I didn't mean that; you, come over and sit down quickly.

As he spoke, Xiao Yunzhe hurriedly stood up and then moved his seat out of the way.

This was originally a two‑person seat; if the four of us sat here, it would obviously be quite cramped.

Oh dear, General Manager Xiao, hello hello, everyone's here—why didn't you call ahead?

Just then, the restaurant manager suddenly came running over.

Then he came up to Xiao Ming's face, lowering his head and bowing as he spoke.

Hehe, Manager Cao, sorry about this—I just showed up out of the blue; look, with the four of us suddenly appearing, there's really no way to make that table work.

General Manager Xiao, if others come and have no seat, would you be left without one? Inside, there's an upper seat.

As the manager spoke, he pointed forward a bit, and Xiao Ming nodded in satisfaction.

After all, he's a major client here, so no matter when he comes, there will definitely be a room arranged and prepared for him.
