Chapter 88 Grievance
evening.
Dusk had already fallen when Jiang Yan arrived by car.
After Shao Ting got out of the car, he stayed in the parking lot waiting, and then looked around.
Jiang Yan didn't expect that Jiang Wan, such a young girl, was actually so good at choosing places.
This restaurant should be more accurately called a private restaurant. It is quite close to their Shaw Group Building, so it is naturally still in the center of the area, but it is secluded and unexpectedly quiet.
It’s not very high-end, but it’s quite stylish.
Most importantly, it has a down-to-earth feel.
Jiang Yan knew that apart from dinner parties for business purposes, Shao Ting usually had a slight preference for this kind of places.
He was happy to see this happen.
After all, it seems that this is the only girl who can make Shao Ting agree to have dinner alone.
Of course, there are only a handful of people who have the courage to so bluntly invite a man to dinner alone.
Jiang Wan booked a table in the inner room of the restaurant, which was surrounded by screens and bamboo fences, providing good privacy.
When Shao Ting and the waiter walked in, he naturally saw the girl sitting quietly.
She was wearing an apricot lace miniskirt and nude flat shoes. Her beautiful slender white legs were slanted together as she sat. It was hard to tell whether the aura around her was fresh and beautiful or pure and beautiful, but it was enough to make people unable to take their eyes away.
The waiter usually saw many good-looking people in his restaurant, but this time he didn't even dare to look at him directly and walked out with red ears.
The moment he saw Shao Ting, Jiang Wan stood up, slightly raised his eyebrows, and called softly, "Mr. Shao."
The man was really tall and handsome, and even standing at the door in all black, he still had a strong presence.
However, unlike the previous two times, this time the man's cold and restrained aura was clearly mixed with a bit of casualness, and he finally didn't seem so unapproachable anymore.
Shao Ting glanced at her and sat down directly.
Seeing her pair of dark, clear eyes looking at him eagerly, but with a somewhat reserved look, he lowered his eyelashes without making a sound, and his tone softened a little.
"sit down."
Jiang Wan then sat down with a faint smile on the corners of his lips.
"I'm very happy that Mr. Shao can come."
The girl had been very timid just now, but now she spoke quite frankly.
Shao Ting's eyes remained calm, and after a moment he said, "Don't take what happened last night to heart. I would do the same thing to anyone else."
If this was said by someone else, it might just be a courtesy, but when it comes from him, people instinctively don't question it.
Jiang Wan smiled.
"Then I should be happier to have been so lucky to meet you. If someone else saw this, they might not necessarily help me, or be able to help me."
She said this very naturally, and it was indeed true.
Shao Ting did not answer immediately, but the waiter started serving the dishes at this time.
But when all the dishes were served, Shao Ting's eyes deepened.
As if sensing his thoughts, Jiang Wan curved her eyebrows.
"I was afraid of taking up too much of your time, so I asked Special Assistant Jiang about your preferences and ordered the dishes in advance."
Shao Ting nodded and was not stingy with his praise.
“You put your heart into it.”
The two of them started eating one after another, and the meal basically went by with Jiang Wan, the one who was thanking, occasionally chatting with them.
She was not very familiar with Shao Ting, and the same was true for Shao Ting, so she still had to have a sense of propriety.
What Jiang Wan didn't expect was that after the meal, it was Shao Ting who first brought up other topics.
"Want to join Shaw in the future?"
Jiang Wan had just picked up the teacup. When she heard the words, her breathing tightened a little. She raised her eyes subconsciously, but was met with the man's gaze that seemed calm but was actually full of scrutiny.
Her heartbeat was temporarily unstable, but a pure smile appeared on her face.
"Yes, I think most of the students in the Finance Department of Peking University, except for those who have their own family business, would like to join Shaw Brothers."
After she finished speaking, she paused, and her jade-white ears were stained with a light crimson color.
"I know it sounds like I'm trying to be nice to you, but I'm telling the truth."
"In fact, I'm not afraid that you will think so, because I really hope that you can remember me. Maybe... I will have the opportunity to work in your investment and finance department in the future."
When the girl talked about the investment and finance department, the yearning in her tone did not sound fake at all, and she did not hide her little thoughts at all, but this way of speaking did not make people feel the slightest bit of disgust at all.
Shao Ting is no exception.
His eyes slowly fell on her face, as if he was just asking casually.
"What if I can't get in?"
Jiang Wan noticed that the scrutiny in the man's eyes had disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound, but he pursed his lips and said after a while, "Mr. Shao, are you hinting at something?"
hint?
This time, Shao Ting's gaze paused slightly.
Seeing that the girl who was talking so eloquently just now now had her thick eyelashes drooping and looked very lost, Shao Tingcai suddenly realized something.
He frowned, rarely finding the patience to explain.
"I mean, have you ever thought about going to other companies, such as... Junjian Capital?"
Jiang Wan shook his head.
"No."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly put down her teacup and stood up.
"It's getting late. We've kept you here for quite some time. Shall we go first?"
Shao Ting narrowed his eyes, said nothing more, and stood up.
They were silent all the way until they reached the entrance of the hotel, then Jiang Wan turned sideways and raised her little face.
"Thank you Mr. Shao for taking the time to have dinner with me."
The smile on the girl's lips was still dazzlingly beautiful, but it was clearly more polite than before.
Shao Ting's thoughts stopped inexplicably, and when he was about to say something, Jiang Yan had already walked up to them.
Jiang Wan greeted Jiang Yan softly, and then said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I wish Mr. Shao all the best in the future."
After she finished speaking, she turned around.
The entrance to the private restaurant was a little distance away, so she had to walk there to get a taxi.
Looking at the girl's slender back as she left, Jiang Yan realized something belatedly, and then he heard a man's voice that was even colder than usual.
"Send her back."
Fortunately, Jiang Wan hadn't had time to take a taxi when he caught up. Jiang Yan lowered the window and said to the girl who had stopped walking and looked a little puzzled, "Miss Jiang, if you don't mind, please get in the car. I'll take you home."
As if afraid that she would refuse, Jiang Yan added: "The master said that he just happened to have something else to discuss with you."
Through the car window, Shao Ting could clearly see Jiang Wan pursing her lips and hesitating for a moment.
But she finally got in the car and sat next to him, and the faint and charming fragrance penetrated her nose.
The car started slowly and a girl's soft voice came to my ears.
"What does Mr. Shao want to talk to me about?"
Shao Ting turned his eyes to the side, and their eyes met at a very close distance.
It took him a while to speak.
"Did I just say something wrong?"
The moment these words were spoken, Jiang Yan, who had been concentrating on driving, suddenly widened his pupils and almost thought he had heard it wrong.
But the man seemed to be asking only that, his voice as deep as ever.
Jiang Wanze's thick eyelashes trembled heavily, and he pursed his lips and denied it in a low voice.
"No, Mr. Shao is overthinking it."
Shao Ting frowned slightly, and was very aware of the change in her attitude, and also... saw a hint of grievance.
It looked like he had accidentally become a bad guy.
Shao Ting was not in the habit of suppressing his questions, and said directly: "My question has no other meaning, nor does it imply anything. Shao's is a place that relies on ability to gain a foothold. You have the ability, so you are naturally qualified to come for an internship."
Jiang Wan shook his head.
"I know, I just suddenly felt that I didn't do well."
Shao Ting remained patient.
"What's wrong?"
