But later on, he seemed to suddenly disappear from the face of the earth, never to contact me again.
During this time, Xiao Fei became a big star, and once, the girls from her dormitory watched Xiao Fei’s new music video online, and there was a scene in the MV where Xiao Fei leaned on a man’s shoulder.
At that moment, she only glanced at it and felt that the man in the video must be Zhang Jingdong.
Moreover, at the beginning when he did promotions for his restaurant, he not only contacted her but also Xiao Fei.
And when she encountered Xiao Fei at his restaurant that time, she could tell that Xiao Fei was clearly showing a liking for him!
She even felt that Zhang Jingdong was probably together with Xiao Fei now.
So, she didn’t know why Zhang Jingdong was still looking for her now.
But somehow, perhaps because Zhang Jingdong was the first man she had taken a fancy to, or perhaps because even if he was really with Xiao Fei, they were at least friends, so it wouldn’t be right to ignore him.
Otherwise, it might seem like there was something between them.
So, after pondering for a good ten minutes, she finally replied to Zhang Jingdong’s message: Just got out of class, what’s up?
Zhang Jingdong: I need a favor from you, do you know any students from the Computer Science Department at East University? Preferably someone with some influence.
After reading this, Lin Shishi’s face showed a hint of disappointment, but also some relief, and then replied: I know someone.
Zhang Jingdong: Can you introduce me? I need him to do something for me, you can rest assured, it will only be beneficial for him and not harmful at all.
Lin Shishi: When would you like to meet him?
Zhang Jingdong: Preferably today at noon, if he agrees, we can meet at my restaurant.
Lin Shishi: I’ll contact him now.
Zhang Jingdong: Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony with you, I’ll treat you to a meal after it’s done.
Lin Shishi didn’t reply to him.
She thought for a moment, then opened her contacts and made a call.
Five minutes later, she hung up the phone and sent Zhang Jingdong a message: It’s arranged, he will go to your restaurant at 12 noon.
Zhang Jingdong: You should come too, I need your face to persuade him, don’t worry, you don’t have to say anything, just sitting at the table next to ours would be a big help.
Lin Shishi: I’m on good terms with him, and since you said what you need him to do is all benefit and no harm, even if I don’t go, you should be able to persuade him.
Zhang Jingdong: Are you afraid to see me?
A flicker of embarrassment and petulance crossed Lin Shishi’s eyes instantly: Why should I be afraid to see you?
Zhang Jingdong: Then why won’t you come?
Lin Shishi: I’m busy.
Zhang Jingdong: Then I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.
Lin Shishi: I have plans tonight too.
Zhang Jingdong: Then you are definitely avoiding me!
Lin Shishi: Aren’t you a bit too full of yourself?
Zhang Jingdong: Lin Shishi, don’t you want to know why I haven’t contacted you all this time?
Lin Shishi: Whether you contact me or not is your business, what does it have to do with me?
Zhang Jingdong: Of course, it has something to do with you, because I like you!
At that moment, Lin Shishi really wanted to send him "If you like me, then why are you with Xiao Fei!"
But in the end, she didn’t have the courage to say so, and instead, she typed: Don’t talk nonsense, or I won’t talk to you anymore!
Zhang Jingdong: Alright, then will you come later? I really want to see you, I have a lot to tell you.
This time, after a full ten minutes, Lin Shishi replied, not knowing why herself: Alright, as a friend, I’ll help you out this one more time.
Zhang Jingdong: Good, see you later.
After the chat with Lin Shishi, Zhang Jingdong sent a message directly to Liu Siwen: Has there been any man who’s crossed the line with her lately?
Liu Siwen: No, but haven’t you not contacted Shishi for a long time?
Zhang Jingdong: Is she mad at me?
Liu Siwen: One day I saw Shishi lingering near your dormitory for a long time, and she looked very down when she returned to the dormitory that night. I’m sure it’s because of you.
Zhang Jingdong: I understand, thanks.
Liu Siwen: What’s this sudden contact for? What are you planning to do?
Zhang Jingdong: Of course, to woo her!
Liu Siwen: That might be difficult. You might have had a chance back when you first opened the restaurant, but now... you may have to start all over again.
Zhang Jingdong: It’s okay, I’m now certain she also likes me, and just that fact alone is enough for me to win her over.
Liu Siwen: Alright then, good luck to you.
Zhang Jingdong: You’ve eaten more than 40 meals at my restaurant recently, it turns out you’re coming at least once a day? And every meal with a 70% discount, even my big restaurant can’t withstand such a hit!
Liu Siwen: Psh... If you want my help, just say it, instead of bringing up old scores.
Zhang Jingdong: Haha, I was just afraid you wouldn’t agree. Let’s do this, from now on all your meals at my restaurant are on the house.
Liu Siwen: Are you sure?
Zhang Jingdong: Absolutely certain, but to avoid you feeling guilty, in addition to keeping me informed about everything regarding her, you also need to give it some thought yourself, help me spot and fix any oversights, and also provide me with suggestions.
Liu Siwen: I knew you were never one to be at a disadvantage.
Zhang Jingdong: If I were purely at a disadvantage, you’d actually feel insecure, since accepting favors makes one obliged.
Liu Siwen: I don’t have that flaw. By the way, did you suddenly bring this up because you just asked Shishi for help?
Zhang Jingdong: How did you know?
Liu Siwen: I wondered why she suddenly wanted to go to your restaurant. It makes sense if you asked her for help, the Computer Science student you want her to find is my boyfriend.
Zhang Jingdong: Really? That’s quite a coincidence, then this will be even easier to handle, okay, let’s meet at noon and talk more about it.
After finishing the conversation with Liu Siwen, Zhang Jingdong said to Long Yue, "Let’s go to East University."
Long Yue quickly took action, and the car soon disappeared from its spot.
