Chapter 395 Shura Field
After get off work, Yan Zhixu came to pick up Liang Liangwei.
The two did not go home for dinner today, but instead chose to dine at a Western restaurant.
Liang Liangwei chose a seat by the window, scanned the QR code on the table with her phone, and prepared to order.
Yan Zhixu handed her his phone: "Use mine."
Liang Liangwei didn't answer, and started selecting food on her own phone.
"It doesn't matter whose it is, I'm more used to my own."
Yan Zhixu didn't insist anymore, but instead changed seats and sat next to her to order together.
After ordering, the two chatted while waiting for their food.
Liang Liangwei recounted what happened at home last night.
“My dad drank three glasses of red wine, which was more to my liking than I expected. I thought he would find it too sweet and weak and wouldn’t want to drink any more.”
Yan Zhixu brushed a strand of hair from her cheek and chuckled, "It must be because you went home and had dinner with him. He was happy, so he drank a little more."
Liang Liangwei thought about it and felt that it made some sense. Old Liang seemed quite happy last night, and he talked more and his tone softened a lot.
Whether it was because he had changed after being separated from his daughter for a year, or because he was happy to know that she was in a relationship, it was a good sign.
"When I left this morning, I reminded him to practice more these few days. He should listen. That way, by the time you get there, he will have gotten used to the taste of red wine, and you won't be afraid to drink white wine."
She tilted her head and glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "Look how much effort I've put in~ How are you going to thank me for my efforts?"
Yan Zhixu looked at her with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness: "How would you like me to thank you?"
Liang Liangwei's eyes sparkled: "Anything you want?"
Yan Zhixu leaned closer to her, his eyes filled with deep affection: "I will do everything within my power to help."
Liang Liangwei blinked, quickly realizing what he meant. Blushing, she playfully punched him and scolded, "What are you talking about! I wasn't referring to that!"
Yan Zhixu couldn't help but chuckle, kissed her forehead, held her hand tightly, and smiled meaningfully.
Just as Liang Liangwei was about to ask him if he had prepared a gift for his visit, she heard someone calling her: "Weiwei."
Turning around, I saw Shen Zhengming.
Shen Zhengming, dressed in a dark suit, strolled in from the restaurant entrance.
He was accompanied by a short-haired, capable woman in a business suit, looking very elite.
"Mr. Shen, what a coincidence!" She smiled and nodded in response, a hint of curiosity in her voice. "You and this..."
She was sizing him up, and he was sizing her up too, his eyes searching.
Shen Zhengming and Yan Zhixu nodded to each other and replied, "This is Mr. Xu from Changxu Company, a partner of our company. We discussed cooperation today, and we'll be having dinner with Mr. Xu tonight."
Then he introduced Mr. Xu: "This is our company's Chairman Liang."
Mr. Xu withdrew his searching gaze, revealing an expression of realization, and smiled as he reached out his hand.
"I have long admired Chairman Liang."
Liang Liangwei stood up and shook hands with her: "Nice to meet you. President Shen, then I'll trouble you to represent our company in entertaining President Xu. President Xu, I have an appointment tonight, so I won't disturb you any longer. Let's meet another time when we have the chance."
President Xu glanced at Yan Zhixu, who was sitting silently, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
What an outstanding man!
Judging from their closeness, he should be Ms. Liang's boyfriend.
She looked away and replied with a smile, "Alright, Mr. Liang, please go ahead."
Shen Zhengming: "President Xu, the table I booked is number 15 over there. Please go ahead first. I'll just say a few words to Chairman Liang and then come over."
Mr. Xu then went over first.
Shen Zhengming looked at Liang Liangwei and said, "The company will have a small shareholders' meeting next Friday, and a general meeting next month. Don't forget to attend."
Liang Liangwei slapped her forehead: "I really forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."
Shen Zhengming smiled helplessly and said, "I knew you would say this, but even if we hadn't run into each other tonight, I would have reminded you at another time."
Yan Zhixu lazily lifted her eyelids and glanced at him.
Shen Zhengming noticed it and gave him a faint glance.
Even without saying a word, there's an undercurrent of tension and unspoken conflict between the two men.
Liang Liangwei joked, "You've worked hard. I'll deduct some money from your personal account as an extra year-end bonus for you~"
Shen Zhengming chuckled: "No need for that, the company has already given me more than enough."
Liang Liangwei: "Yes, I will. It's my personal way of expressing my gratitude to you."
Shen Zhengming's eyes dimmed. She didn't understand at all; what he wanted wasn't her gratitude.
No, perhaps she understood, which is why she said it on purpose.
He changed the subject: "When are you going back to the commander's place next? Let's arrange to go together?"
Just as Liang Liangwei was about to speak, she felt her fingers being grabbed. She reflexively trembled, realizing that the man was issuing a "warning" through his actions.
Her eyes flickered, and where no one could see, she grasped the man's fingertips, trying to soothe his displeasure.
The man readily intertwined his fingers with hers.
She smiled and replied, "Actually, I already went back last night."
Shen Zhengming raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "You went back last night? I didn't hear you mention it. I was thinking..."
Liang Liangwei: "I really can't be sure when I'll go back, so it's hard to make an appointment. Last night, because it had been about ten days since I last went back, my dad took the initiative to call me, so I went back temporarily."
“I remember you always went to the compound on a fixed day every month. There’s really no need to change your schedule because of me. That would put you in a very passive position.”
"Besides, I don't know when the next one will be scheduled. Maybe I'll go back tomorrow because I miss my dad, or maybe the day after. I can't just ask you to come along on a whim."
Shen Zhengming: "I don't mind."
Yan Zhixu looked directly at him and said without any hesitation, "I mind."
Shen Zhengming looked over, their eyes meeting, and he pursed his lips: "You? What makes you mind?"
Yan Zhixu showed off their clasped hands, even waving them around with a show of bravado, and said in a cool tone, "Because Weiwei will bring me home next time, and we're going to meet the parents, it's probably inconvenient to bring outsiders."
Shen Zhengming's expression suddenly changed, his eyes fixed on the two people's clasped hands, a sharp pain shooting through his heart.
"You two...are you meeting the parents?"
Liang Liangwei was taken aback when Yan Zhixu suddenly spoke so bluntly.
Then, after thinking about it, I realized that we should indeed talk about it, so I nodded: "Yes, we're already planning to meet, in the next couple of days."
Shen Zhengming: "The commander knows too?"
Liang Liangwei: "Yes, I talked to him about it last night."
The last glimmer of hope in Shen Zhengming's eyes was extinguished, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Well then, congratulations to you both."
"Thank you," Liang Liangwei avoided his gaze, turned to look in the direction of President Xu, and said, "You should go ahead first, don't keep the lady waiting."
Shen Zhengming gave a slight smile: "Okay, I'll take good care of the company's clients, don't worry."
Liang Liangwei quickly replied, "I'm not worried. I've seen how much you do for the company, so I trust you completely."
Shen Zhengming looked at her with a dark expression, and after a long while, he nodded and said, "I'm going now. Don't forget the shareholders' meeting next week."
Liang Liangwei: "Okay, I'll add it to my notes."
Shen Zhengming was finally over, and she breathed a sigh of relief, sitting down again.
Turning around, she saw the man's deep, dark eyes beside her, and her heart tightened.
Oh no, I forgot there was a living devil right next to me!
Yan Zhixu said quietly, "Do you often make plans to go back to your uncle's place?"
Liang Liangwei: "No, just once."
Yan Zhixu: "Has he been sending you flowers lately?"
Liang Liangwei: "After I told him, it stopped."
The staff delivered their order.
Liang Liangwei suddenly had the feeling that she was now caught in a horrific battle.
Yan Zhixu slowly and methodically cut the steak, then switched it with the one in front of her, since they had both ordered the same thing anyway.
Liang Liangwei: "Thank you."
She turned her head to look at the man who was continuing to cut another steak, and said, "How about we pack it up and take it home to eat?"
