Chapter 265: An Awkward Dinner

In fact, when Xu Ran heard Luo Hongtao and Song Wenli talk about that foreigner who was obsessed with Zhending culture and came to visit Luo Hongtao to ask for advice about things related to Xixia Silk Book, Xu Ran had a vague guess in his heart that the foreigner's motive and purpose was not just to exchange and discuss.

He asked Luo Hongtao if he had handed over the content of the translated silk book to the other party, Luo Hongtao said that he didn't see any mystery, and when he didn't give the other party any information, Xu Ran expected that the foreigner would probably come to Luo Hongtao.

As expected.

But what is surprising is that the one standing next to the blonde and blue-eyed foreigner who came to Luo Hongtao is a woman, and she is still a very beautiful mixed-race woman.

This woman was none other than Huo Sifar.

When Xu Ran saw this woman appear and followed the so-called foreigner expert to find Luo Hongtao, he immediately understood the other party's purpose and motives.

At this time, Huo Sifar, who was standing at the door, also looked at the private room with a pair of blue mixed-race eyes.

When she saw that Xu Ran was also sitting in the private room, she couldn't help but stare at her, the expression on her face was extremely embarrassed, and her eyes were a little evasive.

"Mr. Luo, what a coincidence, it just so happened that we were also having dinner at this hotel, so we didn't bother you, right?"

The middle-aged foreigner is really thick-skinned and speaks Chinese quite fluently, but when he calls, he has to speak English and pretend to be forced by Professor Luo, and the purpose is self-evident.

Since the people have already come, they are standing at the door, and they are polite, and Luo Hongtao is not easy to drive people away.

But he was originally invited by Song Wenli's old friend, and this meal was also invited by Xu Ran, he was a guest, and it was not easy to take the lead, so he said to Xu Ran: "Xiao Xu, Mr. Cleverer is indeed an archaeologist, although I have known each other for a short time, but after all, I am a guest from afar, I don't know what you mean?"

Xu Ran said: "It's okay, Mr. Luo's friend came to visit, since he is also an archaeological expert, it can be regarded as a common language, let them come in and talk to everyone!"

Hearing that Xu Ran had no opinions, Luo Hongtao asked the waiter to invite the two in.

After taking a seat, Luo Hongtao introduced Yao Wenbo and Song Wenli, as well as Xu Ran, the three students of Song Wenli, to Clever.

That Clever was very polite, and he was an expert in archaeology, and he was also very warm and polite, and introduced the people to the fire.

After Huo Sifar shook hands with Xia Tanhe and Tan Nian, everyone was quite polite.

But when he arrived at Xu Ran, Huo Si Fal was a little embarrassed, but the embarrassment was only temporary, Huo Si Faer was a woman who could do things, and after the embarrassment was gone, she showed sincerity and said: "Xu Ran, I am really sorry for what happened at the last party, I hope you can give me a chance to make up for my mistakes!"

Xu Ran was always calm, and said lightly: "There is an old saying here in us, it is difficult to recover when the water is overturned, according to your understanding, the mistake has caused a substantial impact, do you think it makes sense to make up for it?"

Hearing this conversation between the two, the beautiful mixed-race beauty was very sincere, but Xu Ran seemed to be very indifferent and unappreciative, Xia Tanhe was very curious, and said, "Xu Ran, what do you have with this beauty?"

Xu Ran nodded: "Sort of, she played tricks on me in front of the officials and caused me some trouble!"

Hearing Xu Ran say this, Xia Tanhe naturally stood on Xu Ran's side, and his eyes were a little unkind when he looked at Huo Sifar.

Song Wenli and Luo Hongtao originally talked to Cliffor, but after hearing the conversation between Xu Ran and the woman brought by Clever, they stopped talking.

After not speaking, the atmosphere seemed a little stiff.

Clever was about to communicate with Luo Hongtao and Song Wenli about Zhending culture, but when the words came to his lips, he saw that the two of them stopped talking, and after hearing the unpleasant conversation between Xu Ran and Huo Sifar, he looked a little embarrassed, after all, he came to work for the Huo family.

Huo Sifar also looked a little like pins and needles at this moment.

Previously, she would have felt that Xu Ran might have a lot of information about the ruins of the True Ding Mage and the True Ding Altar, which was very important to their Fire Family, but it was not indispensable.

But now, when she was brought to this occasion by Clayver, she saw Song Wenli, an expert who had personally participated in the archaeology of the ancient tomb of Shahaigouzi, and Xia Tanhe and Tan Nian, two parties who had personally experienced the incident of the Zhending Altar.

Especially after listening to Fryer talk about the teacher-student relationship between them, and seeing that there was a further level of intimacy between them and Luo Hongtao, who would be equally important to them to obtain more important information, Huo Sifar realized that she had seriously underestimated Xu Ran's importance.

At this moment, Huo Sifar felt very remorseful and self-reproachful, and she further realized how stupid and serious the mistake she made at the party last time was serious, which could seriously affect the family's plans, and even more affect her future development, as well as her rights and status in the family.

At this point, Huo Sifar knew that if she couldn't gain Xu Ran's trust and support, and there was no progress, after letting the family know what kind of mistakes she had made through Crav's channels, it was estimated that she would face the family's severe punishment for her next.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, everyone didn't talk much, just ate in silence, Fleaver took the initiative to ease the atmosphere: "Everyone, in a pleasant atmosphere of communication, how can there be no toast, I ......"

Before Clever's words were finished, Xia Tanhe interrupted unceremoniously: "Sir, my teacher has just been discharged from the hospital, and the doctor and family members solemnly tell you not to drink......"

"Uh......"

Hearing this, Clever was even more embarrassed.

Originally, he came to Luo Hongtao mainly to discuss and ask for some things about Zhending culture, and naturally he didn't forget the task entrusted to him by the Huo family.

But after meeting Song Wenli and his two students, who had participated in the archaeological work, it was a complete surprise, allowing them to grasp more information about the Zhending Altar that might be hidden under the ancient tomb.

I wanted to get in touch with each other, but I didn't expect that Huo Sifar and another student of Song Wenli would have a holiday, which naturally affected Song Wenli and the two students' impressions of them, which made the atmosphere so embarrassing.

But Huo Sifar is the boss after all, and he is also the person in charge of the main affairs sent by the Huo family to China, and he can be regarded as the boss who pays him salaries and bonuses, and Clever does not dare to complain about Huo Sifar in front of everyone and lose her face.

But he was a little depressed in his heart, if the relationship with these people who were very important to them was so stiff and affected the plans of the Fire Family, this pot Cleverer didn't want to carry it.
