“What a coincidence, I wasn’t sure when I first saw President Gu,” Ye Chenhan said, taking a sip of water and teasing.
It was thanks to meeting him here that they didn’t have to queue for a long time. This shop only recognized queuing, and no amount of money would allow you to cut in line.
Gu Xiuyu poured lemon water into the empty cup in front of Ye Ziyu, “Gu Corporation has a project in Haishi.”
“What a coincidence, so do we. Eldest Brother asked me and Ziyu to come and inspect it,” Ye Chenhan replied excitedly.
Ye Ziyu, sitting to the side, held her cup and drank water, her eyelids twitching even more fiercely.
Gu Xiuyu glanced at Ye Ziyu, “Oh, really? Then are you staying nearby?”
Just as Ye Chenhan was about to answer, a waitress approached their table with menus.
“See what you like to eat?”
Two menus were placed, one in front of Ye Ziyu and one in front of Ye Chenhan. Despite crashing their table, they ended up being the ones to decide.
Since the menus were already in front of her, Ye Ziyu didn’t feel awkward about returning them. She simply flipped through them and ordered a few items that looked good. The menu at a seafood restaurant primarily featured seafood, and it was simpler than those at high-end restaurants.
After ordering, Ye Chenhan remembered Gu Xiuyu’s question, “We are staying at the Ye Corporation Hotel up ahead. What about you, President Gu?”
Gu Xiuyu smiled, “We’re staying in the same place.”
Upon comparison, they not only stayed at the same hotel but also had adjacent rooms. Ye Ziyu had Ye Chenhan on her left and Gu Xiuyu on her right.
Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?
As they talked, the food they ordered was brought to their table by the waiter.
……
“Sir, we have arrived.”
The taxi door opened, and Di Mingjue arrived in Haishi alone. He only brought his mobile phone and didn’t even pack extra clothes. After paying the fare, he strode into the hotel.
He approached the service desk, and the attendant inside looked up, “Sir, what can I help you with?”
“Please help me check Ye Ziyu’s room number,” Di Mingjue said, looking at the computer in front of her.
Upon hearing this, the attendant immediately stood up from her seat apologetically, “Sir, I am truly sorry, but we cannot easily disclose a guest’s room number to others.”
“She is my wife.”
“Sorry.”
Seeing that no matter what he said was useless, he turned to look at the elevators coming and going nearby. He then walked to the adjacent lounge area. He had found out on his way that Ye Shaoting had booked rooms for them at this hotel, so as long as he waited here, he would eventually see Ye Ziyu.
……
“Excuse me, could you please move your foot back?” Ye Ziyu said, turning to the man behind her.
At the table next to them sat a group of burly men, each wearing thick gold chains and five or six rings on their ten fingers.
The man who was spoken to looked down at his extended leg and turned back to his companions as if it were a joke, “She says to move my foot back?”
His companions burst into laughter, not taking Ye Ziyu’s words seriously at all.
The man’s foot not only didn’t retract but stretched out even further.
The aroma of seafood in the restaurant couldn’t mask the stench emanating from the man’s feet.
Ye Ziyu, unable to bear it any longer, stood up from her chair, “This is a public place, please move your foot back from under my chair.”
The man was startled by her sudden stand. But upon seeing that Ye Ziyu was a frail woman, he immediately reverted to his casual demeanor, “Miss, this isn’t your shop, is it? Moreover, you said it’s a public place, so why is it allowed for your foot to be there but not mine?”
“Exactly, Miss is too bossy!”
“Or perhaps you want to attract our attention?”
Several men disgustingly made fun of Ye Ziyu.
