2036 Why Donst They Die? (1/2)
”Boss, the airplane wasn't good. I'm so hungry!” Han Momo said with teary eyes.
Ning Xi rubbed the little girl's hair. ”Let's go. I'll take you to eat something yummy first!”
After they put their luggage into the car, Ning Xi drove the three of them to a local famous Michelin restaurant.
”Wow! Three Michelin stars! Will it be very expensive?”
Ning Xi broke out into laughter. ”Don't worry, your boss won't go broke from your eating just yet!”
The four of them found a quiet corner by the window to sit. Han Momo started to order with full focus, while Qiao Weilan started to report about work to Ning Xi.
Gong Shangze looked out of the window at a corner not too far away. Suddenly, he said, ”That place used to be mine.”
Ning Xi turned to where Gong Shangze stared at and saw a black beggar lying there asleep, sprawled out on his back.
Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, then she smiled. ”What a coincidence! Geez!”
The first time she met Gong Shangze was right there. Less than 300 meters away was a History boutique.
That day, she had finished shopping for clothes from History when she met the nitpicking Gong Shangze on the streets.
”What, what? That's the place when Boss picked up our Director Gong?”
When Han Momo heard this, she immediately became interested and started to ask Ning Xi and Gong Shangze for details of when they first met. Qiao Weilan looked over with interest too.
”Exactly, too long has passed. I didn't remember immediately...”
The four of them were speaking happily when the restaurant door was pushed open. A line of seven to eight people walked in one after another.
The leading one was a sly-looking, squat, old man of about thirty odd years. Following behind him was someone in an Armani couture tuxedo with a Patek Phillipe on his wrist. It was someone familiar.
