Had he gotten himself into some sort of trouble?
He suddenly had a bad feeling about this.
Zi Die, clutching a cute teddy bear, looked at Zi Qing with an innocent, angelic expression.
“Sister, shall we go?”
Zi Qing let out a sigh and said, “Let’s go.
If we don’t follow, Han Na might stir up more trouble later.”
“Oye, it’s time for a big meal!”
Zi Die cheered happily.
Zhang Wenjing said with little enthusiasm, “You guys go ahead, I’ll pass.”
Zi Qing tried to persuade her, “Come with us.
After all, we have a warship this time, all thanks to Su Mo.
Besides, we all share a dormitory, and Su Mo doesn’t often treat us, so we should at least give him this much face.”
Hearing this, Zhang Wenjing didn’t persist.
She closed the book in her hand, placed it on the table, stood up, and said indifferently.
Not long after, Zi Qing drove Su Mo and the others to the Second Ring, near the company, to a super bustling commercial street.
The buildings here looked very upscale, and the storefronts down the line were decorated with a sense of class.
The people moving around were all dressed appropriately; each one seemed to have a good demeanor, either high-level white-collar workers or bosses.
This restaurant is having a promotion and it’s still within the discount period!”
Han Na excitedly pointed to a high-end restaurant not far ahead named Jixian Inn.
Zi Qing glanced at it, and although she really wanted to criticize Han Na for her shameless persistence, there was one thing she had to commend her for.
Han Na’s choice in food was outstanding.
This restaurant was said to have a good reputation.
The only minor downside was that the restaurant’s prices were a tad high, so they had to restrain themselves a little when ordering.
“Cough cough, just a moment, I’m sending a message.”
“Ah, someone else is coming?”
Han Na was also slightly taken aback; she had not anticipated that Su Mo would invite more people.
Although Han Na could be a bit crazy, she had her limits and wouldn’t rip someone off too badly.
She had thought that five people eating at this restaurant was actually okay.
After all, Su Mo had such a high income and could afford it, but she did not expect him to invite more people.
Su Mo picked up his phone and sent the address to Lin Zinuo.
Soon, Su Mo received a reply from Lin Zinuo.
“Hold on, we’ll be there in a moment.”
After reading Lin Zinuo’s message, Su Mo said to the four others, “Let’s wait a little while.”
Zi Qing and the others didn’t say much.
The five of them stood outside, and at that moment, a small refrigerated truck pulled up, stopping just in front of Jixian Inn’s entrance.
Soon after, a group of young women dressed in uniform blue-and-white porcelain attire emerged from inside the restaurant.
They began to move boxes of food ingredients that were sealed very tightly.
It was apparent that those ingredients were quite heavy, as each girl showed a strained expression on her face.
Of course, it wasn’t that the ingredients were excessively heavy, but the packaging was too thick.
Just as Su Mo’s gaze was about to shift away, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
A look of utter surprise appeared in his calm eyes.
There was Lan Xi among them, receiving a heavy box of frozen ingredients and struggling to carry it into the restaurant.
Zi Qing, keenly noticing the change in Su Mo’s expression, asked him.
Su Mo’s expression quickly regained its calm.
Moments later, he saw Lin Zinuo coming over with dozens of people, chatting and laughing. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel※fire.net
Zi Qing and the others were suddenly stunned.
Su Mo was also shocked.
He had always thought that Lin Zinuo wanted to have dinner with him alone.
Why had so many people come?
He looked carefully and recognized Zhou Qian and Qin Wang among them.
When Zhou Qian and the others saw Su Mo, they waved excitedly.
Soon the two groups merged, and although Lin Zinuo was a bit surprised to see Zi Qing and her friends there, she still greeted them warmly.
“Zi Qing, you’re here too.
That’s great, let’s eat together.”
Zi Qing agreed straightforwardly.
On the other hand, Han Na felt very guilty, as if she had made a big mistake.
Lin Zinuo, in a very good mood, asked, “Su Mo, what’s the name of that restaurant you mentioned, and where is it located?”
Su Mo pointed directly at Jixian Inn.
Lin Zinuo followed Su Mo’s direction and froze, her smile stiffening.
Damn, such an advanced restaurant?
Although she had never eaten at this restaurant, from her experience, such a place would cost at least a few hundred yuan per person, right?
A dinner for a dozen people was just manageable.
But they had dozens of people, and there was a limit even to public funding!
Lin Zinuo had originally planned everything out nicely, thinking she could treat Su Mo and the others and later claim the expenses from the company under the guise of a team-building event.
Now that she saw the restaurant Su Mo had chosen, she wanted to slap herself for showing off too much.
Zhou Qian and the others were also taken aback—so many people eating in such a fine place?
Had Sister Zinuo struck it rich?
Everyone involuntarily looked towards Lin Zinuo.
Seeing Lin Zinuo’s expression, Zi Qing immediately realized that it wasn’t suitable to dine in this restaurant with so many people.
Seeing that it looked like Lin Zinuo was planning to pay, she suggested to Su Mo in a diplomatic tone.
“Su Mo, how about we change the place?
With so many of us, we might not have enough seats.”
Normally, Su Mo wouldn’t care where or how they ate.
But now, Su Mo really wanted to eat here.
He needed to confirm something, to see if he hadn’t been mistaken.
Thus, he said, “It’s okay, let’s just eat here.
The restaurant looks big enough to accommodate us all.”
At this point, Han Na also felt that she had caused trouble and hurriedly chimed in, “Actually, this place is quite ordinary.
I know a tastier spot.
How about we switch?”
“Since we’re all here, let’s just eat here.
Su Mo replied indifferently, his mind made up to treat this meal!
Lin Zinuo also felt a bit embarrassed, as it was her idea to choose a place casually.
She had to stand by her word, right?
She couldn’t just slap her own face.
I also think it’s quite good here.”
Zi Qing looked at Lin Zinuo in surprise.
Although she knew Lin Zinuo was wealthy, this meal would definitely be a big expense.
“What are you all talking about?
How can I not be sure?
I’ve already said, eat whatever you want to eat.”
Lin Zinuo forced a rigid smile and spoke cheerfully.
Su Mo took another look at Lin Zinuo and said, “Let me take care of it.”
“What do you mean you’ll take care of it?
Today, no one’s going to compete with me!
If anyone tries to contend with me for treating, they’re basically not giving me face.”
Lin Zinuo boldly warned everyone in advance, as if afraid someone would outbid her.
