Chapter 9: The Su family's little cotton-padded jackets are all leaky
It was very sudden.
Su Ti didn’t know whether this seat was exclusive to Rong Shaoting.
To avoid any misunderstanding, she put down her chopsticks covered with cake crumbs and held the tray as if to leave. "Sorry, I'll change seats."
At this time, Rong Shaoting took the towel handed to him by Chen Bai and said in a gentle voice: "It's okay, there are no outsiders here, please sit down."
During the mealtime rush, the restaurant was packed.
Looking around, there were almost no empty seats to be seen.
If she were really asked to find another seat with the food, it would inevitably waste a lot of time.
It was just a simple meal, and Rong Shaoting thought he didn’t need to be so particular about it.
Chen Bai observed silently for a few seconds, and the thought of trying to figure out the Holy Will popped up in his mind like mushrooms after rain.
Mr. Rong is indeed more tolerant towards Miss Su than others.
Like him.
For example, many people.
If the scene today happened in Hong Kong, I'm afraid many people would be shocked.
It is true that Mr. Rong is low-key, but he also has many rules.
On weekdays in Hong Kong, let alone having dinner with him, even if you want to meet him, you have to make an appointment at least half a month in advance.
When have you ever been so friendly to someone who took up your seat?
Chen Bai thought to himself that perhaps the customs of the mainland had influenced Mr. Rong, making him become more approachable without him realizing it.
Su Ti didn't know what Chen Bai was thinking. She took a deep breath and sat down again.
In order to avoid awkward silence, he took the initiative to start a conversation, "Mr. Rong, are you used to the food in the Mainland?"
Rong Shaoting wiped his long, slender knuckles and raised his eyes when he heard the voice. "Not bad."
The man didn't pick up his chopsticks, and Su Ti didn't eat first out of courtesy.
After a moment of silence, he suggested as the host: "Pingjiang local cuisine is heavier in flavor, unlike Hong Kong Island, which is lighter in flavor. There is a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant in Xicheng. Mr. Rong can go and try it when he has time."
Su Ti can’t say that she knows much about the customs and culture of Hong Kong Island.
But there is a native of Hong Kong named Jiang Chen around me, who has complained more than once about the greasy and heavy taste of Pingjiang cuisine.
It seems that Rong Shaoting, who looks noble, is even more picky than Jiang Chen.
You can get a glimpse of this from the light dishes on his plate.
Rong Shaoting listened patiently to Su Ti's introduction, put down the towel, and adjusted the offset angle of the pinky ring.
From this, Suti finally saw the pattern on the black gold ring, which was a complicated pattern.
I have heard for a long time that some families with a strong heritage have their own exclusive family emblems and tokens.
The emblem ring that Rong Shaoting wears may be one that carries family significance.
"Miss Su, are you very knowledgeable about Hong Kong tea?"
The man's deep and magnetic voice brought Suti back to her senses.
She shook her head and said frankly, "No, I've eaten at tea restaurants in the Hong Kong area a few times before. This one in Xicheng has Hong Kong characteristics and is quite authentic, so I recommend it to Mr. Rong."
Rong Shaoting looked at Su Ti's bare but still delicate face, lowered his eyes and replied, "Since you recommend it, I'll try it if I have a chance."
Su Ti felt a sense of satisfaction that Amway had succeeded, and directly gave the address, "No. 36, Xicheng Old Street."
Chen Bai heard the exact address: "?"
No. 36, Xicheng Old Street, Pingjiang, isn’t that a chain tea restaurant created by Ronggang Group’s catering brand? !
During the meal, Rong Shaoting and Su Ti kept silent and ate quietly.
Both of them perfectly executed the table etiquette of not talking while eating.
The atmosphere was not as serious and tense as imagined.
On the contrary, Rong Shaoting, a big boss in Hong Kong who is known by word of mouth, is extremely considerate in his treatment of others.
He is approachable, self-disciplined and polite, and his every move reflects the gentleman's qualities.
This meal successfully changed Su Ti's impression of Rong Shaoting.
After lunch, Rong Shaoting left first.
Suti planned to go back to the tea room downstairs to drink some coffee to refresh herself.
Just as I turned the corner of the elevator, I heard a chilly voice behind me, "Niece."
Su Ti stopped, sighed, and looked back at the man with a sneer on his face.
This person is the 'old fox' whom I met in the restaurant before.
His full name is Shen Lu, and he is the legal advisor for this conference. In terms of seniority, he is Su Ti's cousin.
The two men are of similar age and have close families, so they don't have any concept of seniority.
Shen Lu is a man in his early thirties. He has a smiling face and looks non-aggressive.
But those who are familiar with Mr. Shen know that in court, his sharp tongue is like a machine gun, outputting crazily.
That warm smile is actually his best weapon to confuse people.
Shen Lu leaned against the wall, his eyes meaningful, "Come, let's talk."
Su Ti curled her lips, "What are you talking about?"
Shen Lu hummed and smiled as he walked forward, stretched out his hand and pinched Su Ti’s cheek: “Su Er, you are capable of running away from home.”
Suti slapped his hand away, "I'm not running away from home."
After listening to her weak excuses, Shen Lu grabbed Su Ti's shoulders and forcibly took her to the stairwell of the fire escape.
In the corridor.
Shen Lu held up his phone and read out the information word by word: "Yitong Internet HR and Administration Specialist, Su Ti, joined the company 32 days ago, basic salary 4500. Is that you?!"
No matter how much he thought about it, Shen Lu could never have imagined that his cousin would actually give up being a rich lady and go out to work to earn money.
How much of a stimulus was this?
Su Ti had her own plans, but she didn't want to reveal too much to Shen Lu, "I'm here to experience life..."
"You are earning 4500 yuan a month and dreaming of earning 5000 million yuan a year. Are you living a daydreaming life?" As a lawyer, Shen Lu has been dealing with various digital data for many years and can get the result with just a few calculations. "With your salary, if you don't eat or drink, can you earn enough in 925 years? Can you survive?"
This person has a very poisonous mouth.
Suti glanced at him, "Who told you?"
"Of course I have my own way." Shen Lu glanced at Su Ti, "You earn 5000 million a year, how dare you make such a bet with your father?"
Su Ti said seriously, "Wealth and honor are sought in danger."
Shen Lu smiled suddenly, his expression showing understanding, "For your sister, right?"
Suti corrected him: "It's also for myself."
Back then, Su Wen refused the arranged marriage and went far away for love. Although it cannot be said that she broke with her family, the relationship between the two elders of the Su family and Su Wen reached a freezing point.
Not only was her trust terminated, but even the assets under her name were frozen and have not been unfrozen to date.
Later, Su Wen was forced to sell her startup company and ran away with her lover with a sum of cash.
I haven't been back to Pingjiang for two whole years.
Not many people in the outside world know about this matter, and the head of the Su family keeps the ugly matter hidden.
This generation of the Su family has no sons, only two daughters, Su Wen and Su Ti.
It is said that the daughter is a caring little padded jacket.
But the sisters of the Su family are more leaky than the other.
Sister Su Wen dares to love and hate, and breaks out of the situation on her own.
The two elders of the Su family were unable to stop their eldest daughter from going her own way, and in order to prevent their younger daughter Su Ti from making the same mistake, they have been looking for a marriage partner for her for nearly a year.
The bet that Shen Lu mentioned came into being during the confrontation between Su Ti and the two elders in the family.
Father Su promised that as long as Su Ti could earn 50 million by herself within a year, the family would not interfere in her marriage and would consider accepting the poor brother-in-law whom they had never met.
This was obviously a challenge from Su's father, but Su Ti chose to face it head-on.
There is no reason not to agree to this, which kills two birds with one stone.
The price of the gamble was that her trust was also suspended and her garage was taken back.
If it weren't for the few small businesses under his name that could generate regular output, Su Ti would have starved to death by now.
Seeing that Su Ti was determined to succeed, Shen Lu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Come on, tell me, why did you approach Rong Shaoting? Do you want to make money from him?"
"Me?" Su Ti pointed at the tip of her nose with her backhand, "Get close to Rong Shaoting?"
"Isn't there?" Shen Lu smiled and said, "Think it over before you write it."
Su Ti looked towards the empty stairwell and an idea suddenly occurred to her mind - you know what, this is actually a new way to make money.
Ronggang Group has strong financial resources and covers a wide range of industries. If she follows the footsteps of the capital giants, the capital will eat meat and she will drink soup, and winning the bet will be just around the corner.
As soon as Shen Lu saw Su Ti's wandering eyes, he knew she was up to something.
At that moment, my uncle spoke earnestly and earnestly in the tone of an elder: "Su Er, the Rong family in Hong Kong has a strong foundation and a deep background. Rong Shaoting's status in the Hong Kong circle is unfathomable. He is not someone you can control. It is not worth it to put yourself in it for a mere 50 million."
