“Sure.”
Pei Zhi asked Qu Shao to change the reservation time.
In the past, he was very good at waiting, but the more they spent time together, the harder it was for him not to see her. Three days could feel like a lifetime.
“Boss, is there something urgent?” When Qu Shao was reporting his work, he realized that Pei Zhi had checked his phone at least a dozen times.
“No, nothing.”
“Then sign here.”
After signing it, Pei Zhi threw the document to him and picked up his phone again.
He sent a WeChat message to Lin Jiao at eleven o’clock, pretending to be concerned about the progress. “Is your proposal approved?”
“No results yet.”
Lin Jiao glanced at the manager’s office from time to time.
She had almost memorized all the product information over the past few days. In the end, she handed in the proposal from three different sources.
She was well prepared and felt quite satisfied with her performance. She just did not know what kind of evaluation Manager Wu would give.
“Don’t worry.” Pei Zhi’s slender fingers tapped on the screen. “The results should be out before lunch break.”
Just as Lin Jiao was about to reply, Wu Xiuwen’s voice came from behind. “Lin, come over for a moment.”
“Okay.”
“You did well this time.” As soon as she entered the manager’s office, she received his praise.
Lin Jiao heaved a sigh of relief.
She listened carefully to him point out a few things to pay attention to. After saying what she thought, she discussed it with him.
After chatting for a while, Wu Xiuwen assigned a task to her. “There’s no hurry. Just hand it to me when you’re done.”
Lin Jiao nodded.
She returned to her desk with the documents and told Pei Zhi the good news immediately.
In the end, she took the initiative to bring up dinner. “It’s my treat tonight.”
“As you wish.”
A smile finally appeared on Pei Zhi’s face.
He put down his phone and went back to work. When it was time to get off work, he rushed out, eager to meet her.
“Uncle.” A sweet voice entered his ears.
Lin Jiao ran over with light steps and smiled at him. “Have you been waiting long?”
Pei Zhi looked at her intently. “Not at all.”
His gaze was so intent that Lin Jiao touched her cheek, thinking that there was something on it.
Just as she was about to take out the mirror to take a look, she heard him chuckle. “Get in the car.”
Lin Jiao bent down and got into the passenger seat.
She put on her seatbelt and asked when she saw that he was staring at his phone and did not step on the accelerator.
“Uncle, what’s wrong?”
“Look…”
Pei Zhi leaned over to her naturally and accidentally dropped the phone beside her.
He reached out to fumble for the phone and accidentally touched her soft waist. “Oh, sorry.”
“It’s fine.” Lin Jiao did not mind.
Pei Zhi said calmly, “Qu Shao recommended a movie. Do you want to watch it?”
“What type?”
“Romantic comedy.”
Lin Jiao had not watched a movie in a long time and agreed almost without thinking. “Then I’ll buy the tickets.”
Pei Zhi did not stand on ceremony with her because in any case, he would give her all the money in the future.
He drove all the way to the mall and found the restaurant with the help of the elevator operator.
The moment Lin Jiao pushed open the glass door, she was overwhelmed by the romantic vibe. There was a flower vase on each round table, and the flower vase was filled with white roses decorated with green leaves. Wherever she went, she could smell the fragrance of flowers.
A waiter in a tuxedo led them into a private room that was soundproof.
Lin Jiao took a photo of the flower vase.
That clear click attracted Pei Zhi, who was ordering. He caught the joy on her face and smiled.
He handed the menu to the waiter and waited for him to close the door before starting a conversation with her until the moment dishes were served.
“Uncle.” Lin Jiao swallowed the eel and suddenly remembered what she hadn’t had time to say on that day their clique gathered. “Do you have plans on Saturday?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Then do you want to come with us to see my grandpa?”
Pei Zhi replied, “Saturday morning?” Just like before, he cut the steak on the plate and gently pushed the plate to her.
“Yes, we’ll come back after dinner.” Her gaze landed on his shirt. “You can wear a sports suit that day.”
“Is the road over there difficult to walk?”
“There’s a yellow mud road outside his house. It’ll be muddy if it rains.”
Pei Zhi nodded in understanding.
It took them two hours to finish the meal. He was already full. “What time does the movie start?”
“Nine o’clock. Twenty minutes to go.”
Lin Jiao wiped the ice cream off her lips.
She called the waiter over to pay the bill. After paying, she picked up her shoulder bag and left in the fragrance of flowers.
The cinema upstairs was packed.
After Pei Zhi accompanied her to get the tickets, he leaned over and whispered into her ear, “Do you want to eat popcorn?”
Lin Jiao said, “I can’t eat anymore.” She put her phone back in her bag and looked in the direction of the sales counter. “Shall we buy two Cokes?”
Pei Zhi led her over.
As soon as they lined up, the girl standing in front whispered excitedly to her companions.
Lin Jiao seemed to have heard her say ‘couple’ and ‘good match’.
