If it were before, Cheng Su would definitely have stayed to attend this exchange meeting. After all, interacting with peers in the same industry is like absorbing different nutrients, it’s always beneficial.
But compared to this exchange, she’s more concerned about Qi Taiguo, who is about to depart for a three-month closed training session. She must go back and spend more time with him and see him off.
So, with Ning Ge around, Cheng Su left her team behind, and took the train back to Qing City by herself.
She just didn’t expect Qi Taiguo to be waiting at the exit of the train station. Had he not called her, she wouldn’t have seen him!
Cheng Su ran over and hugged him, excitedly asking, "How did you know I was coming back?"
"Ning Ge called me and told me you were on this train, so I came to pick you up!" Qi Taiguo said with a smile, taking her luggage bag. "So, how was it? Tiring? Should we head home first or have a meal outside before going back?"
"Oh, that guy is quite thoughtful." Cheng Su looked at the sky, it was almost dark, and said, "Let’s just eat at the fast food place before heading back. What about you, have you eaten?"
"I’m waiting to eat with you, so let’s get going!" Qi Taiguo patted the back seat of the bike.
Cheng Su jumped on, and Qi Taiguo pedaled off. Suddenly, his waist tightened, and when he looked down, her hands were already wrapped around him, prompting an affectionate smile.
The fast food place was just by the train station, and in no time, they locked up the bike and went inside. The place was busy, and their entrance drew many eyes.
"Hey, why are you two together? Cheng Su, weren’t you going to a competition?" Qi Fenglian asked curiously upon seeing them together, as Xiaohua ran over from beside the cashier’s desk.
"Aunt Su, you haven’t been here in a while!" Xiaohua said, looking up.
"Aunt’s been busy, isn’t that why I’m here?" Cheng Su pinched her small cheek, then said to Qi Fenglian, "Sis, I just got back. Taiguo came to pick me up, and thinking it’s a hassle to cook at home, we decided to eat here first before going back!"
"Oh, should I ask the kitchen to stir-fry a couple of dishes for you?"
"No need, just pack two orders. It’s hot, and we can’t eat much." Cheng Su quickly refused.
Shi Ling came out from the kitchen, holding a large bunch of fast food plates. Seeing Cheng Su, she broke into a smile, then froze momentarily at the man beside her.
"This is my man," Cheng Su said with a smile.
Shi Ling nodded awkwardly, thinking, as she’d heard, that the boss’s man was a soldier, and sure enough, he looked very burly!
Qi Taiguo’s eyes casually swept over her and then moved to a corner, his gaze suddenly sharp.
In that corner, wasn’t that Zhang Jisheng with his back to them? Hiding there as if he didn’t exist, was he?
Qi Fenglian followed his gaze and only then remembered her husband, gave him a pat on the back, and said, "Taiguo and his wife are here, why don’t you get up and say hello?"
Cheng Su also noticed Zhang Jisheng and raised an eyebrow.
Zhang Jisheng cursed inwardly; how unlucky was he to bump into this walking disaster here, and now he couldn’t hide.
He turned around, weakly raised a hand towards them like a chicken, and sullenly said, "Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, you came too."
Seeing his weakling demeanor made Cheng Su feel nauseous. Who would have thought that a man who looked so timid and cowardly would still go whoring?
Truly, you never know someone’s true character from their looks, utterly disgusting.
