Chapter 14 Airport Special, Buy One Get Two Free
That night, Suti prepared to leave for Hong Kong.
On the way to the airport, Xiang Qing drove the car, turning his head from time to time to look at Su Ti, and said in a serious tone, "You are hiding something from me."
Su Ti scrolled through the pages on her phone, trying two things at once. "No."
Xiang Qing frowned: "I don't believe it."
Su Ti sighed, "Miss, what can I hide from you? I went to Hong Kong Island to do some business."
Xiang Qing raised her eyebrows ambiguously when she heard this, "Working with Mr. Rong?"
Su Ti: “…”
This statement is ambiguous.
"Mr. Rong is the Mark that Brother Ze mentioned, right?" Xiang Qing said to herself, "I was wondering why you were so pretentious in front of him. You were actually cheating on me... I should have known not to register you as a member. You wasted my 100,000 yuan."
"Don't talk nonsense." Su Ti reiterated: "I came to him for serious business."
"Really?" Xiang Qing was skeptical, "Then swear an oath."
Su Ti: “…”
She is really her best friend.
When they arrived at the airport, Su Ti did not give Xiang Qing a chance to "interrogate" her. She got off the car and rushed into the terminal.
There are still twenty minutes until boarding time.
Su Ti saw the specialty shop at the boarding gate and turned and walked in.
When she came out again, she had two beautifully wrapped gift boxes in her hands.
At 8:40, the plane took off on time.
At the same time, Ronggang Headquarters.
After the last management meeting ended, Rong Shaoting returned to the board's office, took off his suit jacket, sat down and lit a cigarette.
The whole day is packed with work and there is hardly a moment of rest.
The man suddenly relaxed at this moment, and a hint of fatigue could not help showing between his brows.
Chen Bai came and knocked on the door. "Mr. Rong, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
"No need." Rong Shaoting squinted his eyes and took two puffs of the cigarette, "Let's withdraw."
Chen Bai nodded in understanding, "Then I'll inform Uncle Zhong to prepare at home."
Rong Shaoting did not comment. He leaned forward to knock off the ash from his cigarette, and his whole state became more lazy and tired.
Chen Bai also reported several arrangements for tomorrow's schedule.
Before he finished speaking, the man spoke in a deep voice: "Make sure you have time tomorrow. Let Joe go for the afternoon inspection. You can arrange the rest."
Chen Bai was speechless and in trouble.
Rong Shaoting didn't get a response for a long time, his eyes moved, "What?"
"Mr. Rong, Miss Su will come to Hong Kong to visit you tomorrow morning." Chen Bai said, staring at Rong Shaoting's reaction without blinking.
However, the man in the field of vision was still smoking slowly. The faint mist blurred the outline of his expression, making it difficult to fathom.
Chen Bai tentatively asked uncertainly, "You want me to reject Miss Su?"
Rong Shaoting glanced at him and asked, "Where are we going to meet?"
When Chen Bai heard this, he thought there was something going on.
……
the next morning.
Suti woke up in the Peninsula Apartments above Kowloon Station.
When she arrived in Hong Kong last night, she was bored and drank half a bottle of red wine by herself.
When I opened my eyes, I felt an inexplicable soreness in my temples.
Su Ti walked into the cloakroom in slippers. Before she finished changing her clothes, she sneezed three times.
When Chen Bai called, Su Ti was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, crumpling up tissues into small balls and stuffing them into her nostrils.
Oh no, after getting up I have a runny nose and feel dizzy, as if I have a cold.
Su Ti forced herself to cheer up and asked Chen Bai to wait for a moment. Before going out, she looked in the mirror.
The first time I met Rong Shaoting under the name of a visit, my mental state was very important. Downstairs, Chen Bai stood next to Alpha and waited.
Seeing Su Ti, he greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Miss Su."
"Good morning." Su Ti smiled faintly, "Please excuse me for making this special trip. I can go there myself."
Ronggang’s headquarters is in Central, and she checked the route yesterday.
Chen Bai: "It's not a problem. We're on our way. Please get in the car, Miss Su."
Soon, the car drove towards the destination at a steady speed.
Su Ti was drowsy the whole time until the car stopped in front of a teahouse in Repulse Bay. Chen Bai reminded her, "Miss Su, Mr. Rong is waiting for you in the first private room on the second floor."
The second floor of the teahouse decorated in a new Chinese style.
Following Chen Bai's instructions, Su Ti knocked on the wooden door of the private room.
"Enter."
The man's deep and familiar voice came through the door.
Su Ti pushed the door open and a question flashed through her not-so-clear mind.
Why did she feel familiar with Rong Shaoting's voice?
In the private room, Rong Shaoting was wearing a classic black shirt and black trousers. He was leaning against the window against the light, with his legs casually folded in front of him, talking on the phone.
Seeing Su Ti come in, the man stretched out two fingers and tapped the chair opposite the square table.
Su Ti walked over with the gift box in both hands.
I took a quick glance and saw the freshly-baked Hong Kong-style dim sum on the table. My stomach growled immediately.
At this time, Rong Shaoting said to the phone: "Tentatively, I will go there next week. Please let Lin Cong know that too much is as bad as too little."
Before Su Ti could remember who Lin Cong was, the man who ended the call walked towards the window.
"Why don't you sit down?"
Su Ti sniffed, raised the gift box and presented it with both hands, "Mr. Rong, I'm sorry to bother you today. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't despise it."
Rong Shaoting lowered his eyes and looked at the gift box, a faint curve flashing across his lips.
It was hard for her to visit Hong Kong with such courtesy. The man knew that she must have something to ask for.
only……
There was a small label on the upper right corner of the gift box that said "Airport special, buy one get two free", which simply added some moisture to the gift.
Rong Shaoting saw it, but didn't expose it. He took the gift box and put it on the corner of the table. "Have you had breakfast?"
Su Ti glanced at the delicious morning tea snacks, resisted the temptation of delicious food, and decided to get straight to the point, "I have eaten. Mr. Rong, actually I came here today..."
The man sat down with his waist lowered, raised his arm and pressed his palm, "Sit down and talk."
Su Ti paused when her words were interrupted, pulled out a chair and sat down, trying to think of her words again.
"Mr. Rong..."
"No matter how big the matter is, it won't be worse than this morning tea." Rong Shaoting picked up the towel and wiped his hands slowly, his tone gentle but with a hint of strength, "Hong Kong Island's specialties are more authentic than Pingjiang. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Su Ti smiled awkwardly, "You go first."
Forget it, it’s better to obey than to be respectful.
As Rong Shaoting started eating first, Su Ti also picked up a shrimp dumpling, put it in her mouth and chewed mechanically.
Mm, the morning tea in this teahouse is delicious.
Su Ti's listless expression regained some spirit. After finishing the shrimp dumplings, she picked up the fish roe steamed buns and stuffed them into her mouth.
Su Ti, who was already starving, felt much more relaxed after eating the delicious food.
Across from him, Rong Shaoting was sipping tea from a cup.
The dark and deep eyes fell on Su Ti's face across the rim of the cup.
The girl sitting at the table facing the light has fair skin, a quiet temperament, and thick eyelashes that are naturally distributed along the upward curve of her eyelids, making her almond-shaped eyes look even more delicate and dark.
Perhaps it was because Hong Kong Island's morning tea suited her appetite, she ate in a gentle and focused manner, with her cheeks puffed up, looking a bit like a little girl.
Rong Shaoting's Adam's apple moved slightly, and as the tea went down his throat, he was able to suppress the inexplicable itch in his throat.
