Chapter 214: How Is It You?_l
The restaurant where Gu Li and Song Yunque agreed to have a meal was called Bi Xi Great Restaurant, about 30 minutes drive from Blue Sky Blue Sea.
However, at this point, Gu Li was unaware that the person she was meeting for the meal was Song Yunque, because she had sent Da Ha to invite the top male anchor from C Station, “Just Missing You”, for a work discussion.
This was the reason she hadn’t informed Mo Shiting, after all, it really wasn’t feasible for her to report to him about every single work matter.
Shortly after hanging up the phone with Mo Shiting, Gu Li arrived at Bi Xi Great Restaurant.
She parked her car and walked into the reception hall, where Da Ha was already waiting.
Upon seeing her stepping out in a light green professional suit and 7-centimeter white high heels, exuding a commanding presence way beyond her height of 1.6 meters, Da Ha could not help but laugh, “Boss, you are outstanding today!”
“Really?”
Gu Li smiled and swept her hair back. Her exquisite, light makeup only served to accentuate her already beautiful features.
Da Ha nodded hastily, “Of course. With you taking charge, we are sure to be able to recruit ‘Just Missing You’ to our company today.”
‘Just Missing You’ was not much of a singer, but he was an excellent marketer and strategist. Coupled with his strong creative ability and numerous self-composed songs, he was the exact kind of talent they, at Shi Li Entertainment, were desperate to rope in.
Da Ha had taken an interest in ‘Just Missing You’ quite a while back, but had always been unable to establish contact. Whenever he tried to send a private message to him through the station, he was met with indifference.
He thought that it was a lost cause when unexpectedly, by revealing the identity of ‘A Sweet Pear’, he successfully piqued his interest yesterday.
The more they chatted, the more they clicked, and so they wasted no time in setting a lunch appointment while the iron was still hot.
“Which private room?”
As she walked along, Gu Li asked.
This was a top-notch Chinese restaurant built in the style of a garden. There was no large hall, only private rooms, each with its own private courtyard, offering extreme privacy.
Of course, the prices were high, and so, customers here were either rich or powerful.
“The room is called ‘Deep Bamboo Forest’, this way,”
Da Ha took the lead.
“Has the other party arrived?”
Gu Li asked again.
Da Ha glanced at his watch, “We agreed to meet at 12:30, it’s only 12 o’clock now. He should not have arrived yet.”
Gu Li responded with an “Oh”.
They wound through several leafy paths and passed a charming artificial lake before they arrived at
“Deep Bamboo Forest”.
When they pushed the door open, there was already someone sitting inside.
The other party happened to look up and made eye contact with Gu Li.
“Sister-in-law!”
“Why is it you?”
Unexpectedly, ‘Just Missing You’ turned out to be Song Yunque, leaving Gu Li greatly surprised.
But she quickly remembered that Mo Shiting had indeed made a call to him. Everything fell into place.
“So, it’s Mr. Song. Nice to meet you.”
Da Ha, too, hadn’t expected the other party would be Song Yunque. Once he regained his composure, he shook hands politely with him.
After exchanging pleasantries, the three took their seats.
At this point, Song Yunque couldn’t help but say to Gu Li, “Sister-in-law, you didn’t know the person you were supposed to meet today was me? And here I was, happily bragging about it to my fourth brother.”
Gu Li had just taken a sip of tea when she heard this. She nearly spewed out the tea, “You bragged about it in front of your fourth brother? Boy, you are really brave!”
“I even gave him the address to come, but he is probably too busy and can’t make it out,”
Song Yunque explained truthfully.
Gu Li’s lips curved into a subtle smile and she continued sipping her tea. Inwardly, however, she was thinking sarcastically: That’s not it at all. Your fourth brother is without a doubt idling around with plenty of energy, even playing detective now..
