Peninsula Landlord

Chapter 524 Means
(No eunuchs)
Eight o'clock in the evening.

Quanjude Wangfujing Street store.

"Oppa, is it really okay for me to go to dinner with you?"

"Aren't you going to discuss an important cooperation tonight?"

"Will I affect you?"

"Why don't I go back to the hotel and wait for you~~"

Looking at the store door so close, Cui Zhenli suddenly felt guilty and was a little hesitant to go in with Huang Xu.

Huang Xu looked down at Choi Jinri who suddenly backed out and was a little curious.

"What's wrong, Zhenli, didn't you really want to go in with Oppa just now?"

"Why do you want to go back now?"

"I'm just a little worried. If I go over there, will it affect your conversation?"

"After all, you must have some serious business to discuss when you meet this time."

"Would it be inappropriate for me to go there?"

Cui Zhenli looked into Huang Xu's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed her concerns.

She must want to spend more time with Huang Xu and go out and meet people with Huang Xu.

But after a brief moment of excitement, she thought of the news she had just learned this afternoon, and she became a little hesitant.

Huang Xu is meeting that person today, and he must be talking about some important things.

In this scenario, am I really suitable for the past?

Huang Xu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Choi Jinri, whose eyes were full of worry and looked like she was thinking about him.

He still remembers what happened half an hour ago when he received Jia Yueting's call and discussed with Cui Zhenli.

At that time, I asked her to go back to the hotel with Li Xue first, and I went to meet Jia Yueting alone.

But Choi Jin-ri readily rejected the suggestion and strongly requested to be brought along.

She said that she would be bored if she went back alone, and that she had received a task from Sunny, saying that she had to keep an eye on her and not let her play around.

In short, what he said was very high-sounding and justified.

According to her situation at the time, if I didn't let her follow me, she might just call Sunny to complain.

But now that she reached the door, she started to back down again. The contrast between the two made Huang Xu interested, and he joked to her.

"Why, now you are afraid and know it is inappropriate."

"Then why did you insist on coming over just now?"

"Isn't this something I didn't expect?"

Hearing Huang Xu's jokes, Cui Zhenli's face was a little embarrassed.

Just now she just wanted to be with Huang Xu and spend more time with him. She didn't want to be separated from him, so she asked to come over so strongly.

But now that they were about to arrive at the hotel, her excitement slowly subsided and her IQ returned to normal.

It was only at this moment that she realized that her behavior was inappropriate.

She just wanted to be closer to Huang Xu, but she never thought about ruining Huang Xu's plans~!

Just when she was worried and didn't know what to do, Huang Xu smiled, rubbed her head and comforted her softly.

"Don't worry, Zhenli. We are just having a meal today. It won't have any impact."

"Our cooperation was finalized last time. Today we are just having a normal meal to keep in touch with each other."

"Really? Oppa?"

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

After hearing Huang Xu's comfort, Cui Zhenli felt relieved, but she was still a little worried. Huang Xu said this just to comfort himself and to deceive himself.

Huang Xu saw Cui Zhenli's worried look, so he pinched her chubby little face and said.

"Okay, why are you so suspicious? It's just a meal, what can it affect?"

"Also, when has Oppa ever lied to you?"

“That’s right~!”

Cui Zhenli nodded in agreement with Huang Xu's statement.

Thinking back on the time she and Huang Xu had known each other, the image of Huang Xu in her mind had always been that of a caring and good brother, or even a family member, and he had never deceived her.

If it weren't for the fact that he has several girlfriends, his image would be perfect.

Cui Zhenli, feeling relieved, took Huang Xu's hand and soon arrived at the gate of Quanjude.

At this time, the secretary who had met Huang Xu at the hotel entrance at noon was already waiting for Huang Xu.

"Mr. Huang, you are here~!"

"Boss Jia just finished his visit and is on his way here now."

"I'm sorry, I can only ask you to wait in the room for a while."

"Has Brother Jia not arrived yet?"

Looking at the man in front of him, although Huang Xu still had a smile on his face, his eyes had changed.

The man opposite naturally noticed Huang Xu's change and hurriedly explained to him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Huang. Mr. Jia is rushing here as fast as he can. I'm really sorry."

And while he was saying this, he had a smile on his face.

Huang Xu looked at his nervous expression, and quickly calmed himself down, regaining his usual relaxed attitude, and comforted him.

"It's okay. Why are you so nervous? I'm just asking casually."

"Although I don't live in Beijing, I am familiar with the reputation of Beijing's evening rush hour."

"Tell Brother Jia later, take your time, don't rush, safety first."

"Thank you Mr. Huang for your understanding."

After hearing Huang Xu's words, the secretary breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked Huang Xu.

Then, without any hesitation, he made an inviting gesture to the two of them and said.

"Mr. Huang, please go to the room and rest for a while."

"You can also eat something first, as the vaccination may take a while."

"Okay, then let's go in and wait for Brother Jia."

Huang Xu smiled and nodded to the other party, then took Choi Jin-ri into the private room.

He first made a pot of tea for Huang Xu and the other person on the tea table in the room. After chatting with Huang Xu and the other person for a few minutes with a smile, he left the room directly.

After he left, Huang Xu's smiling face suddenly turned cold.

And not only him, Choi Jinri was also looking at Huang Xu with concern at this time.

"Oppa, what do they mean by this?"

"Are you deliberately leaving Oppa alone? How can you treat someone like this?"

"Could they have any new circumstances?"

"Why, are you in a hurry?"

Listening to Choi Jin-ri's concerned look and her complaints about the other party's behavior, Huang Xu seemed calm.

Although the other party's actions seemed very rudimentary and low-end, even Choi Jin-ri could see that there was something wrong and abnormal about the other party.

However, Huang Xu, as the person involved, did not show any mood swings.

Instead, he looked at Choi Jin-ri with interest and asked.

"Zhen Li, since you can see that they are not right and reasonable, then tell me why they do this?" "Oppa, aren't you anxious?"

Seeing that Huang Xu was not affected at all and even had the energy to test her, Cui Zhenli seemed very confused.

In the afternoon, since she knew the whole story, she took this matter very seriously.

Although she is just a small artist from another company.

But this is Huang Xu's company, and she has already identified Huang Xu and wants to become Huang Xu's girlfriend.

Even if Huang Xu hadn't brought up Lee Soo Man in the afternoon, and his contract didn't last long.

I might have already switched jobs to Huang Xu.

In this situation, she naturally had to consider Huang Xu more.

As a result, she was the only one worrying here. Huang Xu didn't seem to have changed at all, which made her a little confused.

Huang Xu looked at Cui Zhenli's puzzled eyes, still maintaining a faint smile, and spoke to her slowly.

"Truth, since the other party has already done this and it has come to this point, what's the point of being anxious?"

"Why not calm down and think about why the other party did this?"

"Can we counter the opponent's moves this way?"

“That’s right~!”

After listening to Huang Xu's words, Cui Zhenli calmed down and slowly began to think about why the other party did this.

After seeing this, Huang Xu didn't mean to disturb them. He picked up the menu and looked through it, then found the waiter and asked him to serve a platter of Beijing snacks.

According to the introduction on the menu, this dish is actually a platter of several classic snacks that are common in Beijing, including pea yellow, donkey rolls, aiwowow, etc.

It is very suitable for diners who want to taste a variety of Beijing snacks at one time.

Of course, it is also very suitable for Huang Xu and Choi Jinri now.

Now it was unknown how long Jia Yueting would take to come over, and the two of them had been shopping on the street all afternoon and were now starving.

Order a plate of this now, go with tea, fill your stomach, and then slowly wait for Jia Yueting to arrive.

By the time Huang Xu finished ordering and urged the waiter to serve the food as soon as possible and returned to Cui Zhenli, she had finished thinking and was waiting for Huang Xu.

"What, have you figured it out?"

Looking at Choi Jin-ri's eyes, Huang Xu also looked at her curiously.

He now also wants to know what Choi Jin-ri has figured out in such a short time.

Choi Jin-ri faced Huang Xu's question again, and this time she nodded confidently in Huang Xu's eyes.

"I've figured it out, Oppa."

"Oh, then tell me, what are their reasons?"

Huang Xu looked at Cui Zhenli with interest, looking forward to her answer.

Cui Zhenli looked at Huang Xu with a smile and slowly answered.

"That's right, Oppa. First of all, the first possibility is that what they said is true. Mr. Jia is really busy."

"He has really been busy today and only found time to come and see Oppa."

"If this possibility is true, then their behavior today, although still somewhat wrong, is generally justifiable."

"Yeah, that analysis makes sense."

Listening to Cui Zhenli's analysis, Huang Xu showed a satisfied expression on his face, confirming her guess.

"As one of the leaders of the ChiNext, Jia Yueting is now known as the richest man on the ChiNext. Many units and leaders visit him every day."

"It's possible that he can't leave temporarily."

"Hey, right, Oppa."

Hearing Huang Xu's confirmation of her guess, Cui Zhenli's face also showed a bright smile.

Obviously, Huang Xu's affirmation made her very happy.

However, before she could laugh for two seconds, she heard Huang Xu continue to ask.

"So what is the second possibility, truth?"

"The second possibility is that they are really using some tricks to try to influence you, Oppa."

When Cui Zhenli talked about the second possibility, his expression became very solemn and his eyes became sharp.

"Since noon today, he has been teasing Oppa, asking people to apologize while also messing with Oppa's mentality. So he must have some ulterior motive."

"I just know that Oppa has cooperated with him. I am not very clear about the specific contents and terms."

"All I can say now is that he must be plotting against Oppa by doing this."

"Oppa, you must be careful~!"

"Don't worry, Zhenli, it's okay."

Looking at Choi Jin-ri's worried expression, Huang Xu smiled, poured her a cup of tea, and comforted her softly.

"You Oppa are not that stupid. Their methods will not be ineffective."

"That's right, how can their little tricks affect Oppa~!"

Thinking back to Huang Xu's calm performance just now, Cui Zhenli also showed a smug smile on her face.

Of course, this also includes her affirmation of her own performance.

At this time, the snack platter that Huang Xu had just ordered had been brought over by the waiter.

"Come on, Truth, try these snacks and see how they taste."

"It tastes different from what I brought back a few days ago."

"Okay Oppa~!"

Looking at the snack platter that was brought over, Choi Jin-ri's eyes lit up and she stared at the snacks intently.

Although she only had to choose suitable clothes this afternoon and did not have to try them on constantly like Huang Xu, she consumed much less physical energy.

But after running all afternoon, she was already tired and hungry.

Now seeing these familiar delicacies, he naturally would not be polite to Huang Xu. After thanking Huang Xu, he started to taste them directly.

"Mmm~, it's delicious~!"

"This tastes even better than what you brought back a few days ago, Oppa~~!"

As soon as these snacks entered her mouth, Choi Jin-ri couldn't help but squint her eyes.

She found that these snacks were exactly the same as the ones Huang Xu brought back, but they tasted much better than she had remembered.

Huang Xu looked at her enjoying the food and picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, tasting it while explaining.

“It tastes good because it’s freshly made.”

"Another important reason is that you are hungry now."

"You only ate a little on the plane at noon, and you've been here till now, how could you not be hungry~~~!"

"Don't say they taste bad to begin with. Now no matter what I give you to eat, you will think it tastes good."

"Hehe~~~"

Listening to Huang Xu's half-explanatory, half-teasing words, Cui Zhenli just smiled foolishly twice as a response.

Then, he drank tea with Huang Xu, tasted the special snacks of Beijing, and chatted while waiting for their arrival.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the two people who were chatting enthusiastically heard the sound of the door opening.

Then a hearty, apologetic voice came from the open door.

"Xiao Xu, I'm sorry, I..."
