Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dinner

Frank booked an Italian restaurant on 34th Street in Manhattan, which is notoriously difficult to locate and takes more than two hours to get to the venue, but Frank was able to secure a seat for the night with a phone call, which may be one of the reasons why he chose this place, which can inadvertently prove his "elite" status on another level.

Su Jing and Qing Huan arrived at the door of the restaurant on time at night, and were greeted to the seat by the waiter as soon as they entered the door, Qing Huan looked at the restaurant while walking, originally thought that it should be the style with simple and clear lines, but I didn't expect its decoration to have a retro thick urban feeling, high ceilings, classical art decoration, wooden tables and chairs, making people feel like walking into New York in the last century.

When they arrived, Frank was already sitting there, answering a phone call with a solemn expression, and when he saw Qinghuan and them come in, he showed an apologetic smile on his face, and then pointed to his phone, silently making an apologetic lip shape.

Su Jing didn't mind, and after sitting down, she waited quietly for him to finish answering the phone.

"I'm sorry, this call is from Paris, it's important. As soon as Frank hung up the phone, he apologized to them, his eyes flushed with bloodshots, and he looked a little tired.

"It doesn't matter, work is, of course, the most important thing. Su Jing immediately laughed understandingly.

"You know what? I just like the gentleness of your Chinese girls and their willingness to think about others in everything. Frank took Su Jing's hand, kissed it lightly on the side of his mouth, and said affectionately, "How can I say it, it's hundreds of times better than those women who shout about independence and freedom all day long, but actually only think about themselves...... Baby, I've booked a suite at the hotel in front of me, and we'll go over after dinner?"

Is he implying that Chinese girls have no sense of autonomy and don't care about their own rights and interests? Qing Huan's eyes suddenly showed a hint of ridicule, such obvious discrimination, he was still able to say it in such an affectionate tone to them, she immediately had no favorability for the man in front of her, and once wanted to stand up and turn around and leave. was stopped by Su Jing with a stern look.

She took a deep breath, but still didn't leave impulsively. But there was a hint of disdain for herself in her heart, in fact, she knew very well that the real reason why she didn't leave in the end was that she hoped to get some useful information from Frank, right?

Seeing that she didn't move anymore, Su Jingcai turned her head to look at Frank with a smile again, and slowly led the topic to his work, "Are you investment bankers very busy with work?" I heard a friend mention it before, saying that there is almost no concept of rest and vacation, and I didn't believe it at the time.......

"Baby, believe me, your friend is definitely not exaggerating, in fact, we did the analysis quite well, and the intensity and pressure of those work at the front desk is unimaginable. Frank spread his hands and said, with a helpless look on his face, "Okay, let's not talk about work, it's too disappointing, why don't we talk about something else, for example, I know that the executive lounge of that hotel is very good, we can go for a drink later......"

"But Wendy really wants to work in investment banking after graduation, can you give her some advice or something? We'd love to get in touch with some insiders and ask some questions. Su Jing pursed her lips and said in a coquettish tone.

"So, you added friends there on purpose?" Frank seemed to react immediately, and then looked at them with a very speechless look.

"We don't have any ill intentions, there's really no way to do it. Su Jing's tone became more and more coquettish, "If you are willing to help us, people will be very grateful for your ......"

"Then tell me, how exactly do you want to thank me?" Frank seemed to be quite comfortable being teased by her, and his eyes full of lust swept over them more unscrupulously.

Qing Huan's face suddenly turned red as if she was about to drip blood, her eyes were lowered, and she tried her best to endure the undisguised gaze that Flack threw at her from time to time.

"Well, I'll just answer three questions. Frank leaned back in his chair with a casual expression on his face, and said nonchalantly as he shook the wine glass on the table with one hand.

Su Jing hurriedly set her eyes on Qing Huan and motioned for her to seize the opportunity.

Qing Huan seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, she stood up suddenly, "I'm sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable, I want to go back first." After speaking, he turned around and left without looking back, deliberately avoiding Su Jing's stunned expression.

Frank didn't speak, just looked at her back in a hurry with some playfulness, and sighed slightly in his heart, now it's okay, it seems that there is no drama tonight, thinking of this, there is no smile on his face at all.

Sure enough, Su Jing said to him in an apologetic tone at this time: "I'm sorry, Frank, I'm worried about my friend, let's go see how she is doing first." How about we make another appointment?"

Frank didn't speak, just made a gesture of please, yes, what could he say? It's what you want me to do, it's just that he's unlucky today. Met such a woman who suddenly had a convulsion.

After Qing Huan walked out of the restaurant, he didn't know where he was going for a while, so he slowly walked along the street, who knew that he hadn't walked a few steps before he heard Su Jing's somewhat angry voice behind him: "Gu Qinghuan, you stop for me." ”

She sighed lightly, turned around slowly, and whispered, "Su Jing, I'm sorry, I know I've wasted your hard work, but I really can't do it." ”

"What can't you do?" Su Jing sneered, stepped forward, and stopped two steps away from her, "Did I let you sleep with him or did I leave you alone?" It's just to have a meal with you, and then take the opportunity to get some information that is beneficial to you, what's not to do? Do you take yourself too seriously? You don't think you need to do anything, as long as you stop in the middle of the road, there are countless men who are willing to sacrifice their lives to help you one after another, regardless of return? Who do you think you are?"

"I didn't mean that, I just didn't want to use it in this way, wouldn't there be no difference from the party that day?" Qing Huan lowered his head and spoke a little stubbornly.

"What does it mean that there is no difference? Will you do it on the spot? You don't even know this, you feel that you can't do it, and you still want to work on Wall Street? I advise you to rest this heart early, and go back to be your innocent little white rabbit after graduation, don't waste my mother's time here, and talk to me about any dreams, it will be on paper, if it weren't for you, would you and I would like to come here to laugh?" Su Jing was so angry with her that she choked on her, and after cracking and scolding her angrily, she walked quickly towards the place where she parked.

Qing Huan was so choked by her that she couldn't speak, so she had to stand stupidly in place, helplessly watching her back gradually disappear from sight, she understood that Su Jing was well-intentioned to help her, but she didn't understand why she had to rely on this means, and it was a smart thing to be like a butterfly in the middle of these men, although she knew that this was indeed some so-called rules and shortcuts, but she didn't seem to be able to pass her level no matter what.

"You should actually listen to your friend, she's much smarter than you. At this time, Frank's lazy voice sounded behind him, and Qing Huan turned his head to look at him, and found that he was standing behind him with a strange smile.

It seemed that he had just listened to the conversation between himself and Su Jing, and Qing Huan didn't have a good impression of him, so he didn't plan to ignore him, turned his head and prepared to leave without saying a word.

"You may have really missed a precious opportunity in there, and my advice may be more useful than if you were busy like a headless fly for half a day, and maybe, after we've had a great night, I'll be willing to recommend you for a summer internship. Seeing that she ignored herself, Frank was not angry, and continued to talk to himself.

"Thank you, I'd rather not have this opportunity. Qing Huan suddenly paused, turned his head and said with a sneer, and then as if he wanted to get rid of him, he quickened his pace and left here.

Frank froze for a moment, and after a few moments, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

When Qing Huan returned to the apartment, she saw Su Jing's car parked at the door, but when she walked in, she found that she was neither in the living room nor in the kitchen, thinking that she should have gone back to her bedroom.

After sighing silently, she slowly walked to the door of Su Jingdi's bedroom, stretched out her hand and knocked softly: "Su Jing, are you asleep?"

It was quiet inside, and no one answered.

Qing Huan glanced down at the light shining through the crack in the door, and stood at the door for a while before silently turning around and leaving.

After returning to the room, she sat quietly in front of the bed for a while, slowly sorted out these things since she arrived in the United States, and then gradually found her own problem - too focused on how to get the ticket to enter the investment bank, but she was a little negligent in her studies, and the class was going to be tomorrow, and she hadn't had time to complete the case assigned by the professor before, right? and the paper, she hadn't started writing a word.

Qing Huan leaned backwards and threw himself on the soft bed, turned his head, only to see the faint starlight outside the window that was covered by clouds, and the bad memories of his previous time in Deju came to mind little by little.

Is she really going to make the same mistake again? Isn't the price she paid for that lesson tragic enough?

Qing Huan slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and gradually had an idea and decision in his heart.
