The parking lot of the restaurant was still some distance away from the main entrance of the restaurant. Su Zhengxing pulled out a long umbrella from the trunk of the car and unfolded it with a ‘bang’.
Lin Qiao remembered Huang Qin’s words and was about to take it over from her leader, but just as she stretched out her hand, Su Zhengxing raised the umbrella high up.
“Let’s go.”
He closed the trunk and gave orders.
“Umbrella, let me help you…”
Lin Qiao stretched out her hands again to take the umbrella, but he said ‘no need’, stepped forward, and covered her with the shadow of the umbrella.
Lin Qiao had no choice but to follow beside him in fear and trepidation.
Su Zhengxing wore a well-tailored suit as usual today, in the black and gray color he often wore, but his shirt did not have an outward-turned collar this time, so he did not wear a tie. One button on the collar was undone, perfectly revealing the hollow of his neck.
He is very tall, about 1.87 meters, more than half a head taller than Lin Qiao, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, slender limbs, and distinct joints. In a comic, such a figure would be at least S-level.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a good-looking face, how could he be a damn capitalist!
In her mind, Su Zhengxing could not help reading her thoughts: “…”
Su Zhengxing’s pace was very fast, and Lin Qiao could not keep up at first, but he gradually slowed down as he walked.
The raindrops on the cement road were getting heavier. Su Zhengxing walked beside her holding an umbrella. They were so close that Su Zhengxing could even smell the faint coconut scent on her.
Su Zhengxing felt a little uncomfortable and said coldly, “Don’t spray perfume next time.”
After saying that, he folded his umbrella and walked into the restaurant.
Lin Qiao stopped where she was, raised her hand, and sniffed her clothes. She said speechlessly, “I didn’t spray it.”
When Su Zhengxing arrived, most people had already arrived. He walked into the box, took off his suit jacket, and handed it to Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao hurriedly took it, but the moment she took his jacket, she touched the mobile phone in his pocket.
She remembered her mission and was about to reach out and take out the mobile phone without anyone noticing when she suddenly heard someone ask, “Mr. Su, who is this?”
Lin Qiao’s little move just now did not escape Su Zhengxing’s eyes, but he did not expose her. He pretended to know nothing and introduced her to everyone: “This is my new assistant, Lin Qiao.”
“Oh! It turns out to be Miss Lin. Nice to meet you!” The middle-aged man who spoke wanted to shake hands with her enthusiastically.
Lin Qiao’s eyes widened, and for a moment, she doubted her ears. Facing the middle-aged man’s hand, Lin Qiao said in panic: “No, no, no, just call me Xiao Lin!”
Being interrupted like this, Lin Qiao even forgot to touch the phone. After helping Su Zhengxing hang his clothes next to the screen, she quickly sat down.
This dinner seemed to be an extension of an academic conference at Tsinghua University. Those present are leaders of the Department of Finance at Tsinghua University and invited professors from other schools. Su Zhengxing did not have time to attend the meeting during the day, so he could only show up at night.
Since he killed the chicken, no matter how busy he was, he had to send it to the monkey to see, right?
At the dinner table, sitting in the main seat was Principal Jin of the Department of Finance of Tsinghua University. The principal’s hair had turned gray, and it looked like he would soon reach retirement age.
Su Zhengxing sat on his left side. The two seemed to be chatting, but in fact, there was an undercurrent.
“I remember there is a sentence in Sun Tzu’s Art of War: The so-called war is a major event for a country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and destruction, and it must be carefully considered. I still feel benefited by it when I think about it now. Whether we are doing academics or doing business, we must not only be upright, but sometimes we must also judge the situation and do what we can…”
