On the highway from the provincial capital to Qingjiang, Zhao Ruyu, who had just hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

The assistant Xiao Fangqin beside him asked curiously, "Miss, who invited you to dinner? Why are you so happy?"

Zhao Ruyu was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's Mr. Pi. I didn't expect that he has returned to Qingjiang."

"Mr. Pi?" Xiao Fangqin seemed to have suddenly remembered, "Oh, is it Mr. Pi who borrowed 8 billion from the young lady?"

Zhao Ruyu nodded, his eyes flickered, and said, "Yes, it's him."

Xiao Fangqin looked a little strange, and whispered, "I don't know what the eldest lady is thinking. Someone borrowed 8 billion from you, and you are still so happy."

Zhao Ruyu turned around and said, "What do you know? This 8 billion is not a loan. Our Zhao family gave it to him willingly."

"Ah? I know he treated the old man before, but he's not worth eight billion, right?"

Xiao Fangqin widened her eyes and said in disbelief.

"Whether it's worth it or not, my grandfather will naturally judge. If he thinks it's worth it, then it must be worth it."

Zhao Ruyu said affirmatively.

Xiao Fangqin was dumbfounded and speechless.

Just then, Zhao Ruyu's phone rang again.

She thought it was Pi Yangyang calling again, so she picked up the phone without even looking carefully.

"Hello, is this Ruyu? I'm Huanhuan..."

After answering the phone and hearing a surprised voice from the other end, Zhao Ruyu's brows instantly frowned.

"Lu Huan?"

She asked in a calm tone.

At this moment, she was already regretting why she didn't look carefully before answering the phone.

"Yes, it's me. You finally answered my call..."

Lu Huan's tone sounded very happy.

Zhao Ruyu frowned and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I heard that the Zhao Jewelry you manage will open a flagship store tomorrow. I came here specially to attend the opening ceremony of your new store and support you..."

Lu Huan seemed not to notice the coldness in Zhao Ruyu's tone and continued to speak happily.

Zhao Ruyu frowned even more and asked, "Where have you been?"

"Of course I'm going directly to Qingjiang. I'm getting ready to board the plane now. I'll be in Qingjiang in a few hours. I wanted to give you a surprise tomorrow, but I thought I'd better tell you first..."

Lu Huan said a lot and seemed very proud of his arrangements.

Zhao Ruyu said helplessly: "Okay..."

"See you tomorrow then!"

Lu Huan said this happily and hung up the phone.

As soon as she hung up the phone, Xiao Fangqin asked with a gossipy look on her face: "Miss, is Young Master Lu coming?"

Zhao Ruyu frowned and said, "Yeah, it's annoying."

"Why do you think he's annoying, Miss? I think Young Master Lu is pretty good. He's the eldest son of the richest Lu family in Lu Province, and you're the eldest daughter of the richest family in Chu Nan. You should have something in common..."

Xiao Fangqin said with some confusion.

Zhao Ruyu shook his head and said, "How can he and I have anything in common? I was annoyed by him when we were in school! I didn't expect that he would become even more annoying after graduation..."

Xiao Fangqin smiled softly, "That's because Mr. Lu likes you, everyone knows it..."

Zhao Ruyu sighed and fell silent.

I turned my head and looked out the window, feeling a little confused.

"Miss, I actually think... Young Master Lu is actually quite good. He has a good family background, he's handsome, and he's always been devoted to you..."

Xiao Fangqin was still nagging, and Zhao Ruyu said impatiently, "Can you please stop talking about him?"

"I just think...he is really good..."

Xiao Fangqin muttered in a low voice, somewhat unconvinced.

"If you think he's good, then marry him!"

Zhao Ruyu said unhappily.

Xiao Fangqin burst out laughing, "Miss, are you kidding me? Who am I? How could Young Master Lu be interested in me?"

Zhao Ruyu fell silent again. She didn't want to discuss Lu Huan.

"Miss, I really don't understand why you dislike him so much?"

However, Xiao Fangqin seemed to want to get things clear.

"I already have someone I like."

Zhao Ruyu seemed annoyed by her questions and spoke solemnly.

While saying this, he subconsciously touched the silver bracelet on his wrist.

This was bought for her by Pi Yangyang in Yuncheng. She has been wearing it on her wrist and has never changed it.

For some reason, the figure of Pi Yangyang appeared in her mind when she said this casually.

Xiao Fangqin was stunned, and said softly in disbelief: "You have someone you like? How come no one knows about it?"

"This is my private matter, why should I let everyone know?"

Zhao Ruyu said in a somewhat cold tone.

Seeing that she seemed a little angry, Xiao Fangqin didn't dare to say anything more.

At half past five, Pi Yangyang and Su Xueqing arrived at the door of Dihao Restaurant, waiting for Zhao Ruyu's arrival.

As soon as the two got off the car, they heard someone shouting, "Brother? What a coincidence, we meet again?"

Pi Yangyang turned around and saw Sheng Ming, dressed in a suit and holding a briefcase in his hands, looking at Pi Yangyang with surprise.

"Sheng Ming? When did you come to Qingjiang?"

Pi Yangyang recognized this person and was a little surprised.

Sheng Ming came over with a happy look on his face and said, "I just arrived and have an appointment with a client to have dinner here. Are you here to eat too? How about we join together?"

Pi Yangyang shook his head and said, "No, we have guests too, so we'd better not disturb you. I'll treat you when I have the chance."

Sheng Ming didn't force it and said happily: "Okay, let's wait for next time."

Then, his gaze fell on Amelia Su, and a hint of astonishment flashed in the depths of his eyes.

But he looked calm, and even asked with some respect: "Who is this?"

Pi Yangyang said: "She is my wife, Su Xueqing."

"Oh, the president of Su Group, I've heard a lot about you!"

After listening to this, Sheng Ming was surprised and spoke with a tone of admiration.

Su Xueqing smiled slightly, “You’re welcome.”

"He's the guy I hit last time with my car. His name is Sheng Ming."

Pi Yangyang gave a brief introduction.

Su Xueqing looked at Sheng Ming in surprise and asked, "You hit him, right? Are you okay?"

"It's okay. I've already started working, and the company sent me on a business trip to Qingjiang. What could possibly happen?"

Sheng Ming replied with a relaxed smile all the while.

Su Xueqing said: "I'm glad you're okay. I was wondering, this guy drives very steadily, how could he hit someone? Fortunately, nothing serious happened..."

Sheng Ming laughed and said, "If he really kills me, I will definitely blame him."

Su Xueqing knew it was a joke, so she smiled too.

After hearing these words, she felt that Sheng Ming was indeed a very generous, easy-going and humble person.

If you hit some other people with your car, they will never let you go until they extort you to the point where you doubt your life.

Judging from Sheng Ming's dress, he is just a salesperson in a company, but he can be so open-minded and generous. It is very rare.

Just then, Zhao Ruyu and Xiao Fangqin arrived at the entrance of the hotel.

Pi Yangyang and Su Xueqing went into the restaurant together with Zhao Ruyu and Xiao Fangqin.

Sheng Ming looked at Su Xueqing's back, greed revealed in the depths of his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Su Xueqing!”

Three words uttered in a low voice from his mouth.

Pi Yangyang, Zhao Ruyu and others came to the private room together, and Jin Miaoshu was already waiting there.

After Su Xueqing introduced, Jin Miaoshu said generously: "This meal tonight is mine! It is my honor to meet Miss Zhao, and it is also an honor for my Dihao Restaurant!"

"How can it be yours? We agreed that it was my treat..."

Amelia Su said quickly.

Jin Miaoshu said: "Boss Su, please don't compete with me. Give me a chance to make friends with Miss Zhao?"

Seeing her serious look, Su Xueqing could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll treat you another day."

The food and drinks came, and several people poured wine. Zhao Ruyu held up the wine glass and said, "Thank you for your warm hospitality. I toast you a glass!"

A few of them clinked their cups and took a sip each. Zhao Ruyu looked at Su Xueqing and said, "Boss Su, can you make time tomorrow to attend the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony of our Qingjiang store?"

Su Xueqing said apologetically: "Miss Zhao, I'm sorry, I really can't spare the time tomorrow morning. Tomorrow, Bern Machinery from Country G will come to my company to discuss the installation of the production line. I must receive them..."

Although Zhao Ruyu felt a little regretful, she said with understanding: "Oh, since President Su has something to do, then don't delay."

Su Xueqing said: "How about...let my husband go instead of me?"

Zhao Ruyu's eyes flickered, and he looked at Pi Yangyang and asked hopefully, "What do you think, Mr. Pi?"

Pi Yangyang didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "No problem."

Zhao Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Then it's confirmed."

After eating, Zhao Ruyu and Xiao Fangqin went straight to find Yang Die.

They have to plan for tomorrow's opening ceremony.
