Ning Jing’s little htly, “What, I can’t co to ask you?”

Xia Lei smiled, “Of course you can come! I’ll alelcome you” After a pause, he added, “I’m sorry about yesterday I messed up”

“I don’t bla would turn up either We haven’t seen each other in years,” said Ning Jing

“Your parents seem to like hiise My , he was too arrogant…” She looked at Xia Lei, and was not sure how to continue

Xia Lei behaved as though it didn’t matter, “It’s fine It’s normal for someone of his status to look down on so trust and respect” He laughed, “And, youris indeed outstanding I think hters”

“Oh, stop talking about that,” Ning Jing cut Xia Lei off, “Not every woman wants to marry ahouse or nice car You’re not me Hoould you knohat sort of man I like?”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way,” said Xia Lei

“I know you don’tto say is that I, myself, am most sure about what sort of person I like and what sort of person I would spend the rest of my life with My mother is not the one ill

Xia Lei did not want to speak further on this topic He said, “Please, come in and have a seat I’lllooked at Xia Lei, her gaze see rather sharp, “Won’t I be in the way of your work?”

Xia Lei laughed and said, “No, no There isn’t much work to do today”

A sweet s’s face, “Can you introduce your two employees? I don’t have many friends so I’d be happy to have et to know a friend like you,” said Xia Lei

Ning Jing followed Xia Lei into the workshop and he introduced Ma Xiao-An and Zhou Xiao-Hong to her The four of the how to use the computer and the Office software The atmosphere in the workshop was har and Zhou Xiao-Hong get along, Xia Lei had a sht, ‘Why would a doctorate holder such as Ning Jing want to e’

Those ere cultured and those eren’t actually had few topics in co friends were even smaller

Before Xia Lei could think of a reason, a black BMW stopped by the side of the road It was aoff the car’s body wax made it look extraordinarily impressive

The door opened and a suit-clad Ren Wen-Qiang got out frolasses, looked at Thunder Horse Workshop, and walked straight over

“Big Sister Ning, so for you,” said Xia Lei He didn’t think Ren Wen-Qiang would co were not here, a person such as Ren Wen-Qiang would probably never give a small roadside establishlance

Ning Jing looked up at Xia Lei’s words When she saw Ren Wen-Qiang, she froze and the s walked into Thunder Horse Workshop and his line of sight swept past Xia Lei, Ma Xiao-An and Zhou Xiao-Hong’s faces, then stopped on Ning Jing’s face and a nice s, why did you switch your phone off when I called you? I went to your hoone out I only knew you didn’t go to work today when I went to your workplace I asked around and heard of this place It wasn’t easy to find; I had so forced a stiff s for me for?”

“I’ve been away froes I’d like to see how it had changed but I lack a guide who can take me around Would you like to acco Jing’s agreement, he continued, “I’ve booked us a table at Golden Beach We can have Western cuisine at noon”

An expensive car, roreat attraction for wo seemed to be an exception She shook her head, “I don’t like Western cuisine”

“Then let’s go for Chinese cuisine I know a restaurant which specialises in Cantonese cuisine and they have good food”

“I…” Ning Jing did not expect Ren Wen-Qiang to be so persistent She did not want to reject him directly so she’s said she didn’t like Western but he’d changed it to Cantonese cuisine right away She wasn’t sure what excuse to use to refuse hiot up and walked to the water dispenser to get Ren Wen-Qiang a cup of water and brought it to him with both hands, “Have so did not stretch out his hand; he did not even respond nor look at Zhou Xiao-Hong

Zhou Xiao-Hong froze aardly and was at a loss as to what to do

Xia Lei spoke, “Xiao-Hong, this gentleet hinore hi returned to the desk with the cup of water and put it on the desk She then busied herself with the co so hu treated in that conte

Ma Xiao-An, however, was not as accepting and hu He snatched up the cup of water and drained it in one go, then slarily, “Even country leaders are not so arrogant Giving you a cup of water is giving you so at?”

Ren Wen-Qiang’s gaze took on a shade of anger He sneered, “So hot-headed for a welder I wonder where you got your confidence from”
