"This restaurant is really good." Mi Yingying said while cutting the steak.
"I just said that my friend's taste is so sophisticated, the gourmet restaurants she recommends will definitely not be too bad."
Seeing Jian Anran staring at the side in a daze, Mi Yingying reached out and snapped her fingers twice in front of her.
"Why are you so dazed? Did you hear what I just said?" Mi Yingying asked.
"Sorry." Jian Anran said subconsciously, "It's just..."
Lifting her chin towards the distance, Jian Anran gestured to Mi Yingying and Song Qi, "Does the person sitting by the window over there look like Xu Nianhe?"
From the moment she walked in, Jian Anran noticed the familiar figure in the corner by the window.
This Western restaurant is located near the school, and its usual customers are mostly unkempt students. Xu Nianhe's white suit is really eye-catching here.
After meeting several times, Jian Anran suddenly thought that she had never seen her in a sloppy state. She always wore neat clothes and exquisite makeup, and always had the image of a successful lady.
Although it is often said that girls should not always "femalely compete" with each other, in this case, Jian Anran can't help but regard herself as the control group.
A white T-shirt, this time black loose pants. Because she stayed in the office all night, she even pulled out her slippers today.
Compared with Xu Nianhe's meticulousness, he does pale in comparison.
Following Jian Anran's gaze, Mi Yingying squinted for a long time before turning around.
"Is it really her? What is she doing here?" Mi Yingying said in a low voice.
"I didn't expect that she would like such a cheap Western restaurant. It seems that this restaurant is really good." She did not forget to sigh again.
"By the way," Mi Yingying suddenly thought of something again, "Have you seen clearly who is sitting opposite Xu Nianhe?"
Shaking her head, Jian Anran glanced over there again with a confused expression.
Opposite Xu Nianhe was also a man in a suit. The man's back was to them. From behind, only his short gray hair could be seen, but his back was very straight.
"But to be honest," Mi Yingying continued, "I always thought that Professor Wen's mysterious girlfriend was Xu Nianhe."
"Don't you think there seems to be something wrong with Professor Wen and her?" Mi Yingying's eyes widened, eager to seek approval from Song Qi and Jian Anran.
Seeing no reaction from either of them, "No, it's just me who thinks so?" Mi Yingying wailed.
Halfway through the meal, when Xu Nianhe and the mysterious man in the suit were rushing to pay the bill, they finally saw clearly what the man in the suit looked like.
An ordinary uncle with a good appearance, characteristics: he looks like a successful person.
Apart from that, they never got any more information.
"It's just, why does this uncle look so familiar?" Mi Yingying said to herself, "I seem to have seen him somewhere."
"Uncle Zhou, I'll leave all this to you." Before leaving, Xu Nianhe stood at the door and said.
The man in the suit stood up and buttoned his suit jacket, "This is what it should be."
"Actually, Miss Xu, you don't have to say it specifically, I understand everything."
"After all, your sister, Mr. Xu, has already greeted me before."
"Our two families have been partners for many years since your father's time. If I bother you to personally advise me on such a trivial matter, then I have been wasting my time all these years."
Xu Nianhe and the man in the suit exchanged a few polite words at the door. When they finally left, Mi Yingying breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can finally speak loudly. I was always afraid that Xu Nianhe would see us." Mi Yingying said.
"She doesn't know us either." Song Qi hit the spot, and Mi Yingying suddenly realized.
I didn't have much contact with Xu Nianhe at first. Everyone was just gossiping. I really couldn't guess the relationship between Xu Nianhe and the old man in the suit. This topic was brought up like this. After everyone said a few words, they immediately moved to a new topic. p>
For example, the imminent tender meeting.
Although asking a few of them to go to the scene will most likely support the scene, all the materials have been prepared, and they are not even needed to go on stage.
When the time comes, Wen Siheng will come to the stage to report the plan in person, Song Qi will be responsible for showing the ppt, and the rest of them will sit down and smile.
But it will be their first time to go to such a large-scale meeting. Because it is an affordable housing project, I heard that the relevant local departments have specially summoned a large number of media to take the opportunity to build momentum.
"Should we be on TV?" Mi Yingying said.
……
The day before the bidding meeting, their group had arrived in Ludao City in advance.
Because it was an open bidding process, many news media were present, and the meeting venue was chosen to be the banquet hall of an old local hotel in Ludao.
A few of them stayed in this hotel. I don't know if it was a lesson learned from the past. Wen Siheng deliberately moved the floor of his room to that of them, far away to avoid any potential possibility of being in the same room.
I woke up very early that day, put on simple makeup, and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Looking at the time, it was 7:30, which was still one hour before their group's meeting time in the lobby. Jian Anran walked into the restaurant with relaxed steps.
Probably because of the meeting, the restaurant is now crowded with many business people in suits and ties.
Holding the dinner plate, Jane Anran stood at the table and carefully looked at the long row of delicacies. It turned out that having too many choices was a very distressing thing. After hesitating for a long time, she still couldn't decide what to eat.
While looking at the plates of food one after another, Jane Anran took a few steps forward and accidentally stepped on the heel of the shoe of the person in front of her.
"Sorry, sorry!" She immediately bowed her head and apologized.
"It's okay." An elegant voice came from above the head, and this voice seemed familiar.
When she raised her head, the first thing that caught Jian Anran's eyes was the neatly cut gray short hair.
Is he the man in the suit who had dinner with Xu Nianhe that day?
Why is he here? Is he also here to bid?
After getting what she wanted to eat, Jian Anran searched hard and finally found a table in the corner that had not yet been cleared.
Putting aside the food left by the previous person, she put her own plate on the table.
As soon as I sat down, I heard the conversation at the table next door.
"Good morning, Uncle Zhou, I'll leave it to you today." Although the girl's back was turned to her, Jian Anran immediately recognized that the voice was Xu Nianhe.
"As for Ms. Xu, I have contacted several directors in the foundation who have had previous dealings with us, and they have clearly expressed their intention to vote to me."
"ZH Studio's winning of the bid this time can be said to be a sure thing."
