Ouyang Lan's heart has a sour taste tumbling, if his inference is not wrong, then this Liu Chen is really not easy, and judging from his skills and style, he must also be a man with a story, far more than what he said today, okay, I don't want to say it, I will let you tell me all in the future, hum~ Ouyang Lan seems to have thought of a way to "deal with" Liu Chen.

Ouyang Lan sent Liu Chen to the door of the Starlight Bar, Xiao Xin and Xiao Qing saw that Liu Chen was back, and hurriedly ran into the house to call Sister Ji and them.

"Do you want to go in and sit down?" Liu Chen jumped out of the car and turned around and asked.

Ouyang Lan saw Ji Linyuan coming out of the bar with the others, and smiled: "No, someone is going to feel uncomfortable, hehe." ”

Before Liu Chen understood what Ouyang Lan meant, he saw her slap the accelerator in a direction and leave.

"You're finally back, but you're worried about us to death. As soon as Ji Linyuan came up, he gave Liu Chen a big hug, which stunned Ji Zhiyuan and the others.

Ji Linyuan realized that he had lost his temper, so he quickly let go of his hand, blushed shyly, and bowed his head silently. Liu Chen smiled slightly, and took the initiative to hug everyone, so that Ji Linyuan would not be embarrassed.

"This time has made everyone worried, and after I came out, I also heard about the sensational Tianya Forum Ji Xiaofeng incident, I think there must be your share, haha. ”

Ji Linyuan asked for credit for everyone: "Everyone has contributed to this matter, like Xiao Yang, he is proficient in the Internet, and he has helped us a lot in speaking on the Internet, but the person who posted is not us, is there anyone secretly helping you?"

Liu Chen's mind quickly flashed over Li Rongfei, Ouyang Lan and Zhao Mengran. Li Rongfei will not be so radical, Ouyang Lan is not so good at writing, the only possibility is Zhao Mengran, who is a newspaper reporter.

"Perhaps, but I'd rather believe that this is the force of justice. ”

Liu Chen and Ji Linyuan walked through the crowd, went upstairs, and came to Ji Linyuan's office, and especially instructed Ji Zhiyuan not to let anyone come to disturb him.

After sitting down, Liu Chen asked directly: "During this time, has anyone ever come to make trouble?"

Ji Linyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, "There have been two times, once when someone from the newly opened bar on Zhongxing Street came to me and said it was about cooperation, and the other time I was not there, it was Xiao Zhi who told me, saying that a middle-aged man with a combed back hair came to look for him, saying that if you have a chance to come out, tell him, he wants to ask you to meet." ”

Liu Chen touched his forehead and pondered. If the bar on the other side of Zhongxing Street wants to develop rapidly in this area, then the Starlight Bar will definitely become the first obstacle in their eyes, I am afraid that the cooperation mentioned is just a pretense, and annexation is their ultimate goal, which Liu Chen has long thought of. As for the other oil-backed middle-aged man, if he guessed correctly, he was the one he met at the Tianyu Restaurant, who wanted to make friends with him last time and ate a closed door, so what does it mean to come to the door in person this time?

"It's good that no one is here to make trouble, by the way, I'm going out to do something in the afternoon. Liu Chen squinted at the smoke coming out of the cigarette butt, and he was thinking about what plan he had.

"What do you do? You never seem to tell me about you, I don't even know what you do every day except to visit the bar every day? You never talk to me about your private life. ”

Ji Linyuan suddenly lost the happy smile just now, and confided the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and Liu Chen's complaint to Ji Linyuan was also quite surprised and shocked.

Liu Chen felt that this was not an ordinary complaint from bosses and employees, nor was it like a dissatisfaction between friends, but a girl's faint complaint against her sweetheart.

Liu Chen extinguished the cigarette in his hand, got up and walked in front of Ji Linyuan, stared at her eyes, and slowly approached, Ji Linyuan felt the huge pressure, turned his face slightly, and shifted his gaze, she didn't dare to face these eyes that could see through people's hearts.

"Well, let me tell you, I'm going to see a female journalist in the afternoon, and I suspect that the person who helped me is her, and I want to thank her in person. Liu Chen said calmly.

"Female reporter?" Why did another girl suddenly appear, a Li Rongfei already made her feel panicked, Ji Linyuan listened to Liu Chen's words, and felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart. After returning from Heaven and Earth Manor, Ji Linyuan became more and more insecure, any girl who encounters such an injury will be the same as her, as a strong woman in her career, Ji Linyuan is very strong, she never mentions what happened to her, no one else knows except Liu Chen, so only with Liu Chen, she can feel a strong sense of security, and she regards Liu Chen as her own support.

"Yes, you can come with me if you're okay. Liu Chen said with a smile.

Ji Linyuan just wanted to blurt out "yes", but he quickly recalled Liu Chen's words in his mind, he was testing whether he trusted him or not. If he goes with him, it will make him feel that he does not trust him, and it will be very difficult to get along in the future.

"Go ahead, I still have some things I can't leave. Ji Linyuan showed a bright smile to show his generosity.

Liu Chen also returned a bright smile, and then opened the door and left.

He first talked to Zhao Mengran on the phone, agreed on a meeting place, and then took a taxi.

The meeting place is in a tea room near the newspaper office, and the customers here usually come for the quiet environment, which is very suitable for talking about things or falling in love.

After Liu Chen entered the door, he found her according to the location sent by Zhao Mengran, today's Zhao Mengran was obviously carefully dressed, his head was colored, under the two scimitar-like eyebrows, his bright eyes flashed one after another, and a layer of light eyeshadow was applied around him, and his sexy red lips looked like he was wearing good lipstick. It was the first time Liu Chen had seen her dressed like this.

"Your unit allows you to dress like this?" Liu Chen sat opposite Zhao Mengran and took a sip of the brewed tea.

"Those leaders wish that their female employees were dressed like this, so how eye-catching they were. Zhao Mengran told the mystery like an industry veteran, and Liu Chen couldn't help but snicker.

In the past, I often tasted tea with the master, and after the master left, Liu Chen rarely came to the tea room to drink tea, and he didn't calm down for a long time and enjoy the feeling of tea.

"Tea ceremony, a long-standing traditional culture of the Chinese nation, it is a kind of life like art, but also a kind of attitude to life, tea self-cultivation is a common cultivation method used by ancient virtuous people, it can calm the mind, cultivate sentiment, purify the soul, this era of rapid development, can be so quiet people are not many. Liu Chen talked leisurely about his tea ceremony, looking like an elegant and virtuous man, so different, so unpredictable.

Zhao Mengran asked while pouring tea for Liu Chen's cup: "You won't just come to me to accompany you to taste tea, right?"

Liu Chen came back from the artistic conception just now, and said with a smile: "Of course not, I came to thank you this time, and the post on the Internet is your masterpiece." ”

Zhao Mengran recalled the fiery cyber war without gunpowder a few days ago, and she was still very excited as the initiator. This time Liu Chen took the initiative to mention, didn't this matter really play a role? This time it depends on how you thank me, hum~

"Yes, you're pretty smart, but you're not going to send me away with just a thank you, are you?" Zhao Mengran said meaningfully.

Liu Chen glanced at Zhao Mengran, her eyes were full of expectation, as if she hoped that she could give her some surprise, but she really didn't prepare any thank-you gifts for her, but saying it like this would inevitably disappoint her.

"How can I just say thank you? I'm having a treat tonight, and I can choose wherever I want to eat, there is no budget, and there is no cap. Liu Chen said proudly.

Zhao Mengran was so happy when he heard it, he worked overtime every day for the past few days, and he hadn't eaten a good meal for a long time, so he had to treat his stomach today.

"I know a steak restaurant, and I heard from a colleague that the steak there is delicious and sufficient, so let's go there. Zhao Mengran said excitedly.

"Okay, it's not too early, let's go now. ”

Liu Chen got into Zhao Mengran's car, the girl drove fiercely, and almost hit an old lady crossing the road, scared Zhao Mengran into a cold sweat, fortunately, she had a false alarm, and her mood of eating steak was not ruined.

This is an American-owned steakhouse, and there are several Americans managing it, but the waiters are basically Chinese, and there are also many students from nearby schools who come to work part-time. The steakhouse opened by the Americans is more emotional, with a glass decoration inside, and American light music one after another, colliding back and forth on the glassware, making guests feel that the music is ringing in their ears.

Most of the people who came here to consume were young couples, and they all looked more gentle, but there was a table of guests that caught the attention of Liu Chen and Zhao Mengran, the man was in his fifties, and the girl opposite was estimated to be only a high school student.

The girl is very delicate, with a fair complexion, good facial features, a tall figure, and a strong youthful atmosphere all over her body, which is not much worse than Li Rongfei, which makes Liu Chen, who is used to seeing beautiful women, also feel excited. On the contrary, this man is not so brilliant.

"Alas, another flower was stuck in cow dung. Zhao Mengran looked at Liu Chen's expression, then looked at the pair of men and women opposite, and sighed casually.

Liu Chen immediately retracted his gaze and smiled awkwardly at Zhao Mengran, "Let's go!" The two came to the service desk, and the waiter led them to an empty seat, just next to the man and woman, Liu Chen couldn't help but look back at the girl again.

"Waiter, two steaks, medium-rare, a plate of fruit salad, two bowls of pasta, eh, do you drink?" Liu Chen nodded, "Then another bottle of red wine, let's do it first." The waiter took notes and gave them a number, "Please wait." ”

Liu Chen and Zhao Mengran chatted without a word, and suddenly there was a conversation between the man and the woman behind them.

"Dad, I'm ready to eat, pack these for Mom to take. The girl said.

"It's okay, Xiaomei, it's rare to come once, you can eat more, I've already packed Mom's portion." The man said.

Liu Chen and Zhao Mengran couldn't help but look at each other and smile awkwardly, they are just an ordinary father and daughter, why are the two of us thinking so dirty.
