When Chen Liping heard that the food was ready, she immediately enthusiastically invited Ye Chen's family of three to the restaurant.
At this time, there was a man in his sixties who was busy arranging dishes in the restaurant. After Chen Liping introduced him, this man was her husband, Man Jinshan.
The young man who just went to invite them to dinner is Chen Liping's son, named Man Yingjie.
Man Jinshan was very enthusiastic. After inviting the family of three to sit down at the dinner table, he asked Ye Chen with a smile: "What kind of wine does Xiaoye like to drink? I have red wine and Maotai here."
Ye Chen said politely: "I'm sorry, Uncle Man, I still have to drive, so I won't drink."
Man Jinshan was not angry after hearing this, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just don't drink while driving."
After saying that, he looked at his son Man Yingjie and said, "Yingjie, if you have nothing else to do tonight, can we have some drinks?"
Man Yingjie smiled and nodded: "Then have a drink."
Chen Liping quickly warned: "You two drink less."
The father and son agreed wholeheartedly, and then Man Yingjie took out a bottle of Moutai, opened it eagerly, and poured a glass for himself and his father each.
It was obvious that both father and son were addicted to alcohol, so from the moment the wine bottle was opened and the aroma of wine wafted out, they seemed a little unable to hold back.
However, although the two of them were greedy for wine, neither of them picked up their glasses, but could not help but look at Chen Liping.
At this time, Chen Liping smiled and said to Ma Lan: "Ma Lan, let's stop drinking and start driving!"
Ma Lan didn't like drinking, so she readily agreed.
While eating, Chen Liping thought of something and said to Ma Lan: "Ma Lan, what day did you fly in?"
Ma Lan hurriedly said: "The flight is on Sunday night."
Chen Liping said hurriedly: "Oh, I have a sister who seems to be going back to China for the weekend, and she also left from New York. Maybe you two can be companions."
Ma Lan asked in surprise: "Really? It would be great if I could really be a companion. I will be annoying anyone to death on this journey for more than ten hours. It is best to have someone to talk to and chat with."
Chen Liping took out her mobile phone and said: "I asked her. A few days ago she said that she was going back to China recently. I happened to ask her to bring something back to my dad. I even made a special trip to New York for this matter.
The things were sent to her."
After saying that, Chen Liping added: "I'll ask her what her flight number is and whether it's the same flight as yours. If so, I'll send you her contact information and contact her when you arrive in New York.
It’s time to keep each other company.”
Ma Lan naturally agreed and said with a smile: "Then ask her, my flight number is CX845, I have to fly to Hong Kong Island first and then transfer."
While tapping her fingertips, Chen Liping said, "Okay, I'll ask her for you. If it's the same flight, you can go together. If she's going back to Guangdong Province, there's a good chance she's going to Hong Kong Island to transfer."
Soon, Chen Liping handed the phone to Ma Lan and said with a smile: "Oh, look, she is also on this flight!"
Ma Lan took a closer look and found that on the chat page, the other party had indeed replied to Chen Liping with a line saying CX845.
She couldn't help but said in surprise: "Oh my God, this is such a coincidence."
"Yes." Chen Liping said with a smile: "This sister is very powerful. Their family specializes in import and export trade between China and the United States. They are worth several billion. If you get to know her, she may be helpful to you in the future.
"
Ma Lan was overjoyed and said: "That's great. Sister Chen, go back and push her WeChat business card to me, and I'll add her."
"Okay." Chen Liping nodded and said, "Eat first, and I'll tell her after dinner."
