Chapter 97
Li Yan didn't know what Lu Sen was thinking, so she put down her wine glass and politely gave in, and then started to move.
She was a foodie.
When facing delicious food, naturally, I will not suppress my nature just because my deskmate is a handsome guy, but instead enjoy a meal as happy as usual.
Then, Li Yan suddenly discovered that this hot pot restaurant has some expensive reasons. Not only is the meat tender and taste good, but the dipping sauce is also better than other places.
This is not the first time Lu Sen has had a meal with Li Yan. He has already learned about her true side and is no longer surprised by this.
Moreover, Lu Sen didn't have much appetite at first, but because he saw Li Yan eating so much, he also had a little more appetite.
The two of them talked about investment while eating and chatting.
Li Yan just asked casually, but unexpectedly Lu Sen answered very seriously and even told her about the progress.
Li Yan immediately put down her chopsticks.
She lived in the provincial capital in her previous life and only came back occasionally in her hometown. She didn't know whether Lu Sen had invested in it.
But because I regard him as a good friend, I naturally hope that everything is fine.
After all, Li Yan is a local, and she knows more about some things than Lu Sen, a foreigner.
Although she knew Xia Zhi should also tell Lu Sen, as a friend, she should remind her of her.
"Brother Lu, in fact, why the economy cannot develop after the logging of timber in my house is related to many aspects. For example, the geographical location is too remote, and logistics is a big problem. Every winter, if the highway is blocked due to heavy snow, domestic shipments may not have a big impact. If you ship abroad, it is easy to delay problems..."
Lu Sen smiled slightly. Li Yan was able to tell him this, which proved that she regarded him as a friend.
"I have already understood the situation you mentioned, and it is indeed a problem. But the exit is not involved yet..."
"That's good." Li Yan was relieved.
Next, the two of them ate and chatted. The atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant, and time seemed to pass quickly.
After Li Yan called the waiter to check out, they left the private room and walked towards the store door.
When passing by the hall, Li Yan suddenly felt like she was on her back.
She looked over with some emotion and found an acquaintance - Xia Qing.
Since Xia Qing ran out of the store that day, Luo Linlin has come to make a face, but Xia Qing has never appeared again.
Li Yan secretly guessed that maybe Xia Qing felt embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, I met here today.
Lu Sen felt Li Yan's turn around beside him, and he stopped and looked in that direction.
When he found out that it was Xia Qing, Lu Sen subconsciously frowned. He was really not interested in Xia Zhi's cousin, but he would encounter it.
Xia Qing immediately got up from her seat and walked over with a smile on her face.
"Brother Sen, Li Yan, such a coincidence." While she spoke, she focused her eyes on Lu Sen, who was beside Li Yan.
In fact, Xia Qing first discovered Lu Sen, and then she saw Li Yan, who had lost weight again, walking beside him.
Now that I get closer, I see that Li Yan not only changes her hairstyle, but also puts on exquisite makeup, which makes her look much better, and she immediately adds a lot of guesses and fluctuations in her heart.
Li Yan could see that although Xia Qing was smiling and talking to them, her smile was somewhat false.
As for the reasons, Li Yan could guess some of them.
She knew Xia Qing liked Lu Sen, but Lu Sen didn't seem to have that meaning.
As the saying goes, falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless.
But now Xia Qing saw her and Lu Sen. No matter whether they misunderstood that there was something wrong with the two, it would be normal for them to feel uncomfortable.
Seeing that Li Yan and Lu Sen just nodded and said hello, she smiled and said with a smile, "Yes, it's really a coincidence."
Xia Qing asked knowingly, "Are you finished eating?"
"Yes, it's already finished." Li Yan said with the utmost support, "Then let's go first."
The words "We" by Li Yan changed Xia Qing's eyes slightly. She forced a smile, "Okay, Li Yan, go to your store when I have time."
Li Yan smiled generously, "Okay, welcome anytime."
Xia Qing gritted her teeth and watched Lu Sen and Li Yan until she left.
She returned to her seat angrily.
Two friends at the same table asked her curiously who the man and woman were just now?
"They are not boyfriends and girlfriends, are they?"
Xia Qing was immediately annoyed, her voice raised a little, "What are your eyes? How could they be boyfriend and girlfriend? My brother Sen closed his eyes and wouldn't find a fat man!"
Xia Qing's two friends looked at each other, and were surprised by her reaction.
"If it's not, it's not, why are you anxious!"
"Hey, what does that handsome guy do?"
Xia Qing made a scheming friend, and then went to the bathroom.
With anger, she called Xia Zhi.
As soon as the phone was connected, she asked Xia Zhi in a scattered manner, "Where are you?"
The environment on the other end of the phone seemed a little noisy, "I'm celebrating my birthday to my colleagues in the unit. My sister, what's your business?"
Xia Qing said angrily, "Xia Zhi, I'll ask you, do you know that Brother Sen and Li Yan have dinner alone?"
"Well... I know. Li Yan's bag was stolen before, and Lu Sen happened to be there to help, so to thank him for treating him to a meal, are you... encountering it?"
Xia Qing said angrily, "Yes, I happened to be touched by me! Do you still treat me as your sister? Now you don't tell me about Brother Sen at all. If I didn't meet him today, would you not mention it to me at all?"
Xia Zhi said helplessly, "Xia Qing, haven't I told you all? Lu Sen has a fiancée, so how much does it matter who I will talk to and whom I will talk to you or not?"
Xia Qing was already very angry, but now she was even more angry because of Xia Zhi's words. She hung up the phone in anger and embarrassment.
Although Xia Qing also admitted that Xia Zhi was right, she was very savory whenever she thought of the scene of Li Yan and Lu Sen.
Even though she knew that Lu Sen could not fall in love with Li Yan, she could not turn a blind eye to him...
After Lu Sen and Li Yan left the hot pot restaurant, they felt that it was still early, so they went to the billiards hall again.
It was not until after nine o'clock that Lu Sen sent Li Yan home.
Li Yan originally wanted Lu Sen and the others to park at the entrance of the community.
As a result, Lu Sen insisted on sending her downstairs.
This is the first time Lu Sen has come to Li Yan’s home.
After he got out of the car with Li Yan, he looked around curiously.
Li Yan knew that her community was a bit dilapidated, and perhaps Lu Sen had never set foot in such a place.
She urged warmly, "Brother Lu, get in the car quickly and go back and have a break."
Lu Sen had a smile on his lips, "Okay, Li Yan, thank you for your hospitality today, we will have dinner together another day."
Li Yan immediately responded with a smile, "Okay, let's contact us by phone."
Facing Li Yan's smiling face, Lu Sen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered a cute and fleshy puppy he had raised when he was a child.
He stroked his fingers twice, and finally glanced at Li Yan deeply before getting back into the car.
After Lu Sen and his other cars drove away, Li Yan turned around and entered the unit door...
