Chapter 30 Where the Heart Goes
Suti is not as optimistic as her mother.
The Su family industry has been rooted in Pingjiang for many years. Su's father is a practical man, and the company's operations have always been steady and solid.
If a crisis is an accidental event, then its frequent occurrence must be abnormal.
Su Ti asked worriedly, "Mom, could it be a business rival who is causing trouble?"
"No, your father checked it out and found nothing abnormal. Besides, if it was really the enemy who did it, could it turn the bad situation into good for our family?!" Mother Su patted the back of Su Ti's hand, "Don't worry about it. Your father and I have done everything you can think of."
Su Ti: “…”
It's a bit heartbreaking.
Su Ti felt relieved when she saw that her mother's relaxed look did not seem fake.
It was around three in the afternoon.
Su's mother was getting ready to go out for a beauty treatment, so Su Ti followed her.
Before they parted at the door, Su's mother once again urged: "Pay attention to your sister's affairs and remember what I said."
Suti nodded, "Got it."
Su's mother said, "No one is worry-free," sighed, and got in the car to get a beauty treatment.
Su Ti stood there, wondering secretly, which fate would be better for an undercover agent or a double-dealer?
On one side is her biological sister, and on the other side is her biological mother. She is sandwiched in the middle and has turned into a weak and fragile cookie.
It's so difficult to do.
……
Su Ti left the Su family and didn't go anywhere else.
I drove slowly around the city twice, and around five o'clock, I headed towards West City.
The dinner that I failed to schedule with Rong Shaoting last night has been rescheduled to today.
The location was chosen by Suti, No. 36, Xicheng Old Street.
The authentic Hong Kong-style tea restaurant she once recommended.
As soon as she entered, she felt that the atmosphere in the restaurant was particularly high.
The waiters were all in high spirits and looked radiant, as if they were about to receive some important person.
Su Ti walked in and looked at the enthusiastic lobby manager, "I have a reservation, room 7."
The lobby manager smiled brightly: "Hello, Miss Su, please follow me."
Room 7 is located on the left side of the lobby.
The window views face the surrounding garden and parking lot.
There are three dewy roses in the vase on the table.
The atmosphere created is full of sense.
at the same time.
A Leirfa business car slowly drove into the parking lot in front of the door.
The car stopped and the electric door slid open backwards.
The tall figure of a man sitting with his legs crossed slowly came into view.
At this time, the sun was shining obliquely, and the faint wheat-yellow light fell around it, outlining a vague outline.
When getting off the car, a breeze blew through the man's hair, and the collar of his two-button shirt swayed slightly.
Su Ti tilted her head to look through the glass window, and saw the slightly loose collar. The scene of her staring at his Adam's apple in the office that day flashed through her mind.
At that moment, it was really embarrassing, and I still feel uncomfortable when I think about it.
Su Ti adjusted her breathing and emotions, trying her best to clear her mind.
However, when Rong Shaoting strolled into the restaurant, he vaguely heard the greetings of several employees passing by, which directly destroyed Su Ti's newly adjusted mood.
"Hello, Mr. Rong."
"Hi boss."
The phone in Su Ti's palm slid onto the table with a click.
What?
At the door, the man was already walking towards me.
Su Ti stood up hastily, "Mr. Rong."
The perceptive and delicate Rong Shaoting could see the restrained and reluctant expression on her face.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Su Ti cleared her throat: "Just now I seemed to hear someone calling you boss."
After a pause, he smiled awkwardly and said, "This restaurant..."
Rong Shaoting motioned for her to sit down. Wen Ru's words and actions always managed to resolve Su Ti's embarrassment with ease.
The man said: "It's just a branch of Ronggang's catering brand. It's managed by someone else and he can't be considered the real boss." The truth was revealed, and Suti was instantly depressed.
After all the fuss, it turned out that the authentic restaurant she shamelessly recommended was actually a branch brand of the other restaurant.
What's the difference between this and asking Guan Erye if he recognizes someone while holding his Green Dragon Crescent Blade?
Perhaps he could see Su Ti's annoyance, so the man added calmly, "It just so happens that I haven't been here before, so I'll let you entertain me today to try something new."
Su Ti's eyes lit up, "You've never been here before?"
Rong Shaoting smiled faintly from his thin lips: "Yeah, it's the first time."
Once something is defined as the first time, it is often given special meaning.
Su Ti's face turned from cloudy to sunny, and it seemed that this reception was not such a failure.
The restaurant was not yet at peak dining time, so the dishes were served quickly.
The characteristic Hong Kong cuisine is served in small and exquisite plates with full color, aroma and taste.
Su Ti invited Rong Shao Ting to start eating first.
During the meal, she spoke very little and didn't dare to say a word of the dish introductions she had searched online.
Afraid of showing weakness.
In fact, if we really talk about the grade, this tea restaurant can be considered upper-middle class at best, both in terms of decoration and positioning.
It is completely different from the high-end restaurants that Rong Shaoting usually goes to.
But the man sat in the cubicle, with his sleeves folded up, and his every move was polite and courteous.
Even though he looked noble and ate the most common Hong Kong tea snacks, he did not show the slightest sense of disconnection that was inconsistent with his status.
Su Ti ate slower and slower, her eyes unfocused on something, obviously distracted.
The man observed this scene and said in a low voice, "Why are you not eating properly? What are you thinking about?"
Su Ti focused her gaze, and as their eyes met, she suddenly forgot to answer.
Everything that was already hazy and unclear seemed to break out of the ground as their eyes met.
The man's eyes are deep and unfathomable.
Quietly locking onto Suti's figure, leaving her nowhere to hide.
The atmosphere seemed to be stagnant.
Rong Shaoting put down his chopsticks and asked calmly, "Did you drink the hangover tea before going to bed last night?"
That invisible bond, pulled and tugged, brought the problem to the table.
Su Ti couldn't keep the secret in her heart, and Xiang Qing's words kept playing in her ears.
"I drank it." After answering, he clenched his chopsticks and asked him boldly, "Does Mr. Rong take care of Brother Ze's friends like this?"
It is understandable that there were circumstances during his stay in Hong Kong.
But now is Pingjiang, her base camp.
He turned the tables, what was he trying to do?
Without figuring out the real reason, Suti really couldn't enjoy herself.
Rong Shaoting raised his lips, showing some profound interest, "It's not necessary to be like this to everyone. After all, energy is limited."
I said it, but it seems I didn’t say it.
Su Ti lowered her eyes and thought for a long time.
However, after a brainstorming session, no useful clues were found.
Rong Shaoting's patience and determination are beyond ordinary people's reach.
He looked at the girl quietly for a moment, then curled his lips and said, "Anything else you want to ask?"
Su Ti shook her head slightly, then looked directly at the man: "Thank you, Mr. Rong, for your special care."
Adding the word "special" has a meaningful meaning.
Rong Shaoting rubbed his pinky ring slowly, with deep meaning flowing in his dark eyes: "You're welcome, it's what's in your heart."
Su Ti was stunned, and repeatedly tried to figure out the meaning of his four words.
The riddle seems to be solved, but the answer is left behind, for you to guess and figure out. It is truly unfathomable and ambiguous.
Su Ti was confused and reminded him seriously, "Mr. Rong, if you say that, it's easy to cause misunderstanding."
Rong Shaoting calmly replied, "For example?"
How can I give him an example of this?
Su Ti was speechless for a moment.
After a while, the man looked at me with a very focused and deep gaze, "Tell me the truth, how can there be any misunderstanding?"
