Chapter 18 Wild Rose

"Of course." Bai Nan said proudly, "But you're still not as good as me. Since I joined the company's management at the beginning of the year, I've been very busy. You're free all day long, and I envy you."

Su Ti heard the other party's sarcasm and glanced at her phone, "The management got off work so early?"

It’s not even five o’clock yet.

Bai Nan choked, and after a while, he smiled, "Is it not okay for me to be on a business trip?! Forget it, you have never worked before, so it's normal that you don't understand."

The elevator happened to stop at this floor.

Bai Nan stepped over Su Ti in her high heels and walked in first.

Suti followed.

Two acquaintances, who seemed to be at odds with each other, stood at the two ends of the elevator, as if a line of separation had been drawn between them.

Bai Nan touched her newly-made manicure and said, "Qin Yi is going back to China."

Suti: “Oh.”

Bai Nan was unhappy with such a cold response, "What are you talking about? He's flying at the end of the month, are you going to pick him up?"

Su Ti replied casually, "Not necessarily, it depends on the situation."

"You are so heartless." Bai Nan rolled his eyes. "You didn't see him off when he left. Now that he's back, you haven't shown any appreciation. You are so heartless."

Su Ti said nonchalantly, "If you want to express yourself, go ahead, no one will stop you."

Qin Yi is a friend in their mutual circle. Before going abroad, Bai Nan pursued him for two years, but failed.

Now it seems that he hasn't given up yet.

Su Ti was quite puzzled. Qin Yi returned to China just like that, so why did he say anything to her?

In the past two years, she and Qin Yi have had little contact, and at most they would send each other a greeting text message during the holidays.

The relationship is neither close nor distant.

Besides, it’s her own decision whether to go to the airport to pick her up or not. It’s not Bai Nan’s turn to morally blackmail her.

The elevator goes up to the restaurant level.

This time, Suti walked out first.

Bai Nan lagged behind a few steps, mumbling something, probably tickling her from behind.

Su Ti was too lazy to pay attention and walked straight into Mi San Restaurant.

She didn't see Bai Nan walk in right after her.

Rong Shaoting didn't come too late.

Just after half past five, the man appeared at the entrance of the restaurant in business casual attire.

Su Ti stood up to greet him, her eyes flicking over him for a moment, "Mr. Rong."

A light ink-colored casual shirt is paired with casual pants. The sleeves are pushed up to the elbows, revealing the sharp wrist bones. There is no watch to decorate the look, only the pinky ring on the left little finger is particularly eye-catching.

The man's attire diminished the solemnity and seriousness of the dinner.

Rong Shaoting walked over, looked directly at Su Ti, and asked, "How is your cold?"

Su Ti smiled and said, "Much better. Thank you Mr. Rong for your concern."

The man's eyes moved slightly, revealing a bit of interest.

The girl in front of me didn't look as listless and haggard as she had been this morning.

The black knee-length skirt was fitted but not tight, perfectly accentuating her curves.

The face with light makeup was fair and delicate, especially the pair of eyes, which were as clear and bright as jade.

She stood so charmingly before my eyes, like a wild rose in full bloom, free, passionate and flamboyant.

There is no doubt that Suti is beautiful.

Even in the eyes of the knowledgeable Rong Shaoting, she can still be described as extremely beautiful.

When the senses are pleased, a sense of joy will naturally emanate from your every move.

It was in this subtle atmosphere that Su Ti vaguely felt that Rong Shaoting seemed to be in a good mood.

Along with the often indifferent and calm outline, it became much softer and warmer.

They took their seats one after another.

Su Ti handed the menu to the man, "I ordered a few of the chef's signature dishes. Mr. Rong, please take a look and see if you need any more."

"It's up to you." Rong Shaoting took it and put it aside. "The guest should follow the host's wishes."

Soon, the waiter brought the dishes.

The sommelier and the chef followed behind him. Perhaps the restaurant had heard that Rong Shaoting was coming to dine here, so according to the usual practice, they arranged for the chef to come out and introduce the menu pairings.

The chef glanced at Suti while introducing her.

Obviously he was curious about this lady who could have a Western meal with Mr. Rong.

Moreover, everyone present could see that Mr. Rong had a hidden leniency towards this young lady.

Wait for the chef and his team to leave.

Su Ti picked up the champagne and said politely, "Mr. Rong, this visit to Hong Kong is very abrupt. If I have been rude, please forgive me. This glass is for you."

Rong Shaoting slowly raised his glass and clinked it with hers.

No words yet.

Seeing that the girl was about to finish her glass, he spoke in a low, mellow voice, "It's not advisable to drink too much before a meal."

Su Ti barely stopped what she was doing and drank half a cup in a reserved manner.

This is the bad thing about high-end restaurants, as everything has to be done in order and rhythm, and you can't be too arbitrary.

Halfway through the meal.

Suti started talking again.

"Mr. Rong, does Ronggang's acquisition of Yitong Internet mean that Ronggang intends to expand into the mainland Internet market?"

Suti asked about some things related to the business world in a casual tone.

"Not necessarily." Rong Shaoting wiped his fingers with a napkin: "Ronggang has plans to acquire and inject capital into mainland companies every year. The acquisition of a single company cannot represent the entire industry."

Su Ti thought for a moment, "Which industries in the mainland do you think are more promising?"

Rong Shaoting put down his knife and fork slowly, and asked with a smirk, "Ms. Su, are you inviting me to dinner or to do an interview on financial news?"

Oops, that was too much.

"Excuse me, Mr. Rong." Su Ti smiled awkwardly and complimented him half-heartedly, "This is my first time dining with a successful person like you. I can't help but want to learn from you. I have a lot of questions, please forgive me."

The man grasped the point and narrowed his eyelashes slightly, "First time eating together?"

The breath changes in an instant.

Then, everything returned to normal.

Su Ti sensed Rong Shaoting's aura had calmed down, and didn't understand why he rarely showed surprise.

Even if it's fleeting.

Su Ti thought about it, then raised her index finger to emphasize: "This is indeed the first time I'm inviting you to dinner."

What this means is that the lunch we had at the last Internet conference was at most a coincidence of sitting together.

Rong Shaoting glanced at Su Ti with dark eyes.

You can say she is heartless or thick-skinned.

Recall the encounters and contacts during this period of time.

She acted nice and clever in front of him, and there was always a reason for it every time.

He wants to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but he can't hide his tail well.

Rong Shaoting couldn't help but sigh. Even though he knew she was like this, he still wanted to see what tricks she could play in front of him.

The man lowered his eyes to hide the ripples in his eyes and whispered, "What do you want to do by asking me for advice?"

Suti replied bluntly: "To make money."

With such a huge money printing machine dangling in front of you, even a fool would know to seize the opportunity.

"Making money?" Rong Shaoting looked at Su Ti and said bluntly, "You don't look... short of money."

As the younger sister of Liang Jingze's ex-girlfriend, her family background must not be bad.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to come up with three million to take the Jianzhan away from him.

Furthermore, although the clothes she wore did not have any brand name logos, one could tell from the workmanship that they were custom-made.

A girl like this, who talks nonsense about wanting to make money, is not very credible.

Su Ti raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Not lacking money and wanting to make money are not contradictory."

After that, he muttered, "Mr. Rong has more money, but I don't see you idling around eating, drinking and having fun..."

Rong Shaoting took a sip of champagne, a smile appearing in his eyes.

What a sharp tongue.
