C45 (1/2)
After Chen Jin and the Shen Tong heard Qi Mansu's words, they did not react for a moment. They were stunned for a moment, and then, with furrowed brows, Chen Jin asked in puzzlement: ”Man Su, you … ”What do you mean by that?”
Qi Mansu, however, did not seem to mind and laughed: ”Nothing, by the way, I am truly sorry for what happened today. Boss Chen, believe me, I genuinely want to come over for a meal.”
Qi Mansu knew that he did this to prevent her from thinking too much, so she did not continue speaking. There were some things that only required her to remember them in her heart.
Shen Tong knew that Qi Mansu was feeling a little bad, so he did not push him away and agreed with a nod: ”Alright, Manchu, this place is your plate, I will listen to anything you say.”
He and Shen Tong stood up, then said their goodbyes to Chen Jin. ”Boss Chen, thank you for receiving me today, next time, I'll definitely not find you so many things to do.”
Chen Jin laughed and waved her hand: ”Alright, I, Chen Jin, have been in this industry for so long. If you make such a big fuss over such a small matter, I think I should close my doors and return home as soon as possible.”
”True.” Hearing his words, Qi Mansu did not continue any further, and bid farewell to the Shen Tong.
She came to the front desk and took out her purse to settle the bill. Chen Jin stopped her: ”Alright, you don't have to pay for this.”
Qi Mansu said resolutely: ”Boss Chen, I will be very happy if you give me a discount, but I won't agree to the waiver. Besides, do you think I don't have that much money?”
When Chen Jin heard her words, she misunderstood and explained with a smile: ”Manla Su, you misunderstood. I'm not giving you a free ticket, but rather that someone at your table had already settled the bill.”
”Finished?” Hearing his words, Qi Mansu looked at him with some suspicion. ”Could it be … Could it be Kuo Minglie? ”
Chen Jin smiled and nodded: ”That's right, that's him. Just now, when he left, he came to the front desk and settled all the accounts.”
After Qi Mansu heard this, she let out a cold laugh. However, she secretly became vigilant in her heart, this person definitely did not have such good intentions for no reason.
Thinking about that, she kept her purse, smiled, and said to Chen Jin: ”Alright, as long as you, Boss Chen, can earn it.”
Chen Jin laughed twice, and then personally saw Qi Mansu and Shen Tong out. Just as he walked out, Qi Mansu smiled at him and said: ”Alright, Boss Chen, you don't have to be so courteous anymore.”
”Today's meal is very delicious. Thank you for your warm welcome. It's rather cold outside. You should hurry up and go back!” Shen Tong and I will be going back now. ”
”Alright, you guys be careful on the way.” Hearing Qi Mansu's words, Chen Jin did not persist, and instead smiled as she said these words, then turned and left.
Qi Mansu and Shen Tong walked towards the parking lot together. As she walked, she smiled and chatted with the Shen Tong, and when she arrived at the parking lot, she tripped because the light wasn't good.
Just as she was about to fall on her side, Shen Tong reached out to support her. At that moment, she suddenly felt a flash of light in front of her.
She had been a reporter for many years, so she naturally knew what this light was. After she stood properly, she first looked towards the darkness, then nodded towards Shen Tong and thanked him.
After Shen Tong saw that she was standing properly, he immediately let go of his hand and laughed: ”The street lamp over here is broken and no one wants to fix it, you better be careful.”
Qi Mansu turned her head to look at both sides again, and said meaningfully: ”We should indeed be careful, Shen Tong, I suddenly remember that I still have some things to say to you, didn't you say that you will be catching the plane tomorrow?”
”Then go back and rest early. I'll be back after I'm done with the things here. You don't have to worry.” After saying this, he turned to look at the chauffeur and said, ”Please be careful on the road.”
The driver respectfully nodded his head, Qi Mansu then smiled and thanked him, he turned and opened the back door of the car, then laughed: ”Shen Tong, get in.”
Since Qi Mansu had already said so, Shen Tong didn't think it appropriate to say anything. After getting on the carriage, he worriedly instructed her, ”Then go back as soon as possible since it's already so late. It's not safe for you to be by yourself.”
Qi Mansu smiled and nodded: ”I understand, Shen Tong, then you rest early.” With that, he closed the door and watched as the car gradually left. Only then did she turn around and walk to his left.
Her pace was not very fast, but her expression was incomparably solemn. It looked like she wasn't imagining things in the morning, as expected, someone was following her.
The flash had been a camera shot of her, and she had forgotten to turn off the flash. It was something she was familiar with.
As she thought of this, she felt that someone was following her. A mocking smile appeared on her face as she quickly walked to the front. When she arrived, she remembered that there was an alley in front of her.
After walking for about 300 meters, she finally saw an alley. Without hesitation, she walked into it and circled around almost three of the alleys. The feeling of being followed was still there.
She turned left again and took another two to three alleys before the feeling disappeared. She stood in the middle of the alleyway and looked behind her slowly.
