Meng Xie packed up his things, turned off his computer, and locked the office door. As soon as he reached the elevator, he was blocked by Gao Jinshen's driver Zhang Luo: "Minister Meng, the manager said that he has booked a restaurant to have dinner with you tonight. "

"Sorry, please tell the manager. Thank you for his kindness. I'm a little tired today and want to go home and rest." Meng Xie pressed the elevator button with a smile.

Zhang Luo's face showed obvious embarrassment: "Minister Meng, before I came to pick you up, the manager told me to take you there. I'm just a driver, and I don't want to lose this job."

He said it very euphemistically, but his meaning was very clear.If I didn't go with him today, then his job would be gone.It must be Gao Jinshen who said something like "If you can't get someone, don't use it for work".Zhang Luo is a company that has been advancing for three years. He is simple and honest, unlike some people who are formerly ones and others are later.Meng Xie admired such a person very much, so this time, he had no choice.He didn't want people who might lose their jobs because of him.

"Then let's go." Meng Xie said to Zhang Luo.

Meng Xie thought that Gao Jinshen was just looking for a place to have a meal with him, but when Zhang Luo drove the car farther and farther, he realized that there was some trouble: "Xiao Zhang, which restaurant did the manager order?"

"The Westin Hotel." Zhang Luo replied.

Westin?What a great deal.Meng Xie sighed inwardly.

When Gao Jinshen saw Zhang Luo and Meng Xie walking towards the box, he had already stood up with a smile: "Here we are."

"The manager, I'll wait in the car." Zhang Luo said.

Gao Jin nodded deeply.

Meng Xie didn't say a word the whole time, and only waited for Zhang Luo to walk away before turning his attention to Gao Jinshen: "It's just for eating, there's no need to choose this place, right?" The implication is that it's too wasteful.

Although Gao Jinshen was criticized, he still smiled happily. He pulled the chair beside Meng Xie away and said, "Today is a special day."

Meng Xie smiled and nodded to thank Gao Jinshen for his actions, but asked in puzzlement, "Is there something wrong?"

Gao Jinshen didn't answer Meng Xie's question directly, but just said to the waiter outside the door: "The food can be served." Then he sat down by himself and looked at Meng Xie with a smile.

Meng Xie, who was at a loss, watched the waiter serve five dishes, and then saw the waiter Gao Jinshenchao nodded. The waiter understood and went out with a smile.

Foie gras, tuna, steamed giant tiger prawns, oysters, steak.What kind of tricks is this playing?Meng Xie was puzzled, but Gao Jinshen remained calm and said, "Eat first, there will be another important dish later."

? ? ?besides?Looking at Gao Jinshen's tricky appearance, Meng Xie regretted coming here with Zhang Luo.Looking at this posture, it seems that this meal will last for a long time.

Just when the two remained silent until half of the steak on Meng Xie's plate was wiped out, suddenly violin music sounded, and Meng Xie naturally looked beyond the source of the sound.A little brother in a tuxedo played the music affectionately. Behind him, the waiter held a cake with candles.

Meng Xie's slightly moved gaze met Gao Jinshen's once again: "You..."

"Happy birthday." Gao Jinshen didn't need Meng Xie's thanks, he smiled and raised his hand to signal the little brother playing the piano to stop playing.And after the other party went out, he got up and walked to the wall, and turned off all the light sources in the box, and the whole space was only left with the brilliance of candles.

"Come, make a wish." Gao Jinshen said.

If Gao Jin didn't mention it today, Meng Xie was really busy and forgot about his birthday, and just wanted to go home early and rest.It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved when I saw the waiter put the cake on the table.At first, he thought about finding an excuse to let Gao Jinshen send him home earlier, but now he seems embarrassed to propose it.

Gao Jinshen looked at the person in front of him with a smile all the time, from closing his eyes unnaturally, making a wish to opening his eyes, he didn't miss every subtle movement.

Meng Xie cut a small piece of cake and placed it on a plate in front of Gao Jinshen, and said the two words he had been wanting to say: "Thank you."

Gao Jinshen did not impolitely ask about the content of Meng Xie's wish, but after eating the cake on the plate with a smile, he reached into his arms and took out a small red box.

"Open it and see if you like it." Gao Jinshen pushed the small box in front of Meng Xie.

It's not just the birthday celebration, there are even gifts prepared.Meng Xie curiously picked up the box and opened it.Lying inside is a high-end men's watch.Although there is no research on watches, the price is definitely not cheap, Meng Xie still knows.

Meng Xie's eyes turned from surprise to firmness: "Thank you manager for your kindness, but my current watch can still be used." Pushing the small box back.

"I don't need it now, I will always need it later." Gao Jinshen didn't intend to accept the returned gift at all, and pushed the box over, but pressed his hand on the box and didn't take it away; "Besides, isn't it too much to refuse someone's birthday gift Hurt someone?" Gao Jinshen pretended to be pitiful, blocking what Meng Xie had opened his mouth but had not had time to say.

The other party's expression was a bit exaggerated, Meng Xie couldn't help but smiled slightly: "Okay then, thank you, don't waste money next time."

When touching the back of Gao Jinshen's hand, Meng Xie's fingers curled slightly.He looked at the man opposite with some doubts, and motioned him to let go so that he could take the box by himself.

"There is a gift under the watch." Gao Jin smiled deeply: "But don't look at it now, look at it when you go back."

Let go of your hand, and the moment Meng Xie opened his eyes slightly and put his hand on the box, Gao Jinshen put his palm on the back of Meng Xie's hand and grabbed it: "I hope you can give me an answer then."

Like an instant electric shock, Meng Xie withdrew his hand that was suddenly held, quickly stuffed the small box into his pocket, and got up: "It's getting late, I'm a little tired, I want to go back."

Seemingly seeing through Meng Xie's guilty conscience, Gao Jinshen also seemed not in a hurry, picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair: "I'll see it off for you."

"Don't worry about it, I'll just take a taxi and go back." Meng Xie said as he walked out and opened the door.

"It's inconvenient to take a taxi here, I'll take it..."

Before Gao Jinshen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice: "Don't worry, the manager, I just called Didi Taxi. Minister Xie, let me escort you!"

Du Qisheng grinned and shook the phone in front of Gao Jinshen.

"It's you again?" Gao Jin was deeply dissatisfied, why is this guy so lingering?Every time he wanted to ruin the good things between himself and Mengxie: "Isn't it just me?" Du Qisheng continued to smirk, completely ignoring the manager's expression.

"Why are you here?" Gao Jin was deeply concerned about this question.

Today, only he and Zhang Luo knew about the restaurant, and Du Qisheng didn't look like someone who would eat in such a high-end restaurant.But how could it be so coincidental to appear at this place at this time?

"I asked him to pick me up." Meng Xie, who had been silent since seeing Du Qisheng, suddenly spoke.

"You?" Gao Jinshen's gaze slowly shifted from Meng Xie to Du Qisheng, and after a few seconds of watching, he returned to Meng Xie: "Okay, then call me when you get home, I'm so relieved."

"Well. Thank you tonight. Let's go now." Meng Xie nodded to Gao Jinshen for his understanding, and then said to Du Qisheng who hadn't closed his mouth yet: "Let's go."

"Received!" Du Qisheng once again waved desperately at Gao Jinshen who was still holding the phone, and said, "I'll see you tomorrow, manager!"

The two left side by side, leaving behind Gao Jinshen with a disgruntled expression.

"Tell me, why are you here?" Mengxie asked as soon as he left the hotel gate.

"Hey." Du Qisheng smiled furiously; "Isn't today your birthday, I wanted to surprise you and treat you to dinner, but when I came out, I saw you got into Zhang Luo's car, so I took a taxi and followed you. "

"Follow us?" Mengxie asked back.

"Why is it stalking? This is obviously protection! Protection!" Du Qisheng hastily raised his voice: "Look, isn't it the right time for me to appear?"

Indeed, if it wasn't for his appearance, I might not be able to refuse Gao Jinshen's kindness to send me home.

"So, Didi Taxi, did you really order it?" Meng Xie could no longer believe what this guy said.

Sure enough, Du Qisheng took out his mobile phone and began to operate skillfully: "Call now!"

This fool is really... Meng Xie searched for all kinds of words in his mind, but found that there was no way to describe this Du Qisheng.Forget it, let's call it a fool, simple and direct... Also, cute.Meng Xie thought.

It was more than an hour before Meng Xie arrived home.After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Meng Xie remembered what Gao Jinshen said in the restaurant.

"There is a gift under the watch. But don't look at it now, go back and look at it."

He took out the small box and the watch. Sure enough, there was something under the watch.

"This is the key?" Meng Xie murmured puzzledly while holding the thing in his hand.
