Chapter: 5533

Ye Chen regained his composure and smiled, saying, "Oh, I was just thinking about something, no need to apologize."

Just then, a server arrived and said, "Please come in, gentlemen."

Ye Chen nodded and followed the server into the restaurant, deliberately glancing at the small bell hanging above the sliding door before he went in, his mind already filled with inspiration.

If the Clearing Association were to really send Earl Zhang to Jinling in the future, he would have to make himself a "bell" that could serve as a warning to himself.

After they sat down, he took out his phone and sent a message to Zhang Er-mao, who was originally selling antiques on Ancient Antiques Street, asking him to meet him at half-past noon tomorrow at the Xiang Xi Lou Hot Spring's mountain villa.

Zhang Er-mao had been working closely with Hong Wu in recent times and had indeed done a great job as his strategist, reorganizing Hong Wu's business and personnel, and increasing income and management.

Right now, Hong Wu spends most of his time at Xiang Xi Lou, entrusting many matters to Zhang Er-mao.

As soon as Leaf Chen had a sudden idea, he needed Zhang Er-mao to take care of it for him.

At this moment, Manjun Liu was still somewhat awkward and embarrassed in front of Leaf Chen.

After ordering some food, she took the initiative to say to Leaf Chen: "Mr. Leaf, I'm really sorry... About my coming to Jinling, I should have informed you earlier..."

Leaf Chen noticed her awkward expression, so he smiled and said: "It wouldn't be that exciting if we didn't mention it early on, would it?"

Manjun Liu heard these words and couldn't hide her joyful tone, asking: "Really? You really think so?"

"Of course." Leaf Chen's words were slightly insincere, but he was clear in his heart that Manjun Liu had come all the way from afar, and he shouldn't be too cold or distant. This would indeed be a huge blow to her, even affecting every day of her stay in Jinling.

He only needed to show a few moments of surprise to soothe Manjun Liu's inner awkwardness.

Manjun Liu was indeed as Leaf Chen had expected, immediately clearing the clouds and seeing the bright moon after hearing Leaf Chen's affirmative answer. Not only did she relax greatly, but also flashed a joyful smile on her face instantly.

She looked at Leaf Chen, slightly blushing and saying in a low voice: "I'm still worried that I didn't knock before coming to Jinling, and it might cause trouble for you..."

"He won't." Leaf Chen waved his hand without hesitation, saying: "We're friends, and when I went to Hong Kong, you took good care of me. Now that you've come to Jinling to develop, I'm certainly happy. In the future, if there's anything I can help with in Jinling, don't be polite about it."

Manjun Liu nodded heavily with joy: "Okay! I understand!"

Leaf Chen smiled slightly and then pretended to suddenly remember something, asking: "By the way, what was the relationship between that Lin Xiaowan we met in the dorm room at noon? How did you two get along?"

Manjun Liu spoke truthfully: "Xiaowan is the granddaughter of my grandfather's good friend. She's a Malaysian Chinese and is studying here this year."

As she spoke, Manjun Liu asked again: "By the way, I heard Xiaowan say that you know her new roommate?"

"Yes." Leaf Chen nodded: "I have a sister who just happens to be studying here this year. Coincidentally, they're roommates in the same dorm and major."

"That's really too lucky!" Manjun Liu exclaimed in surprise: "I was actually planning to wait until I've settled down at Jinling University before telling you that I'm here, but I didn't expect to run into you at Xiaowan's dorm today. It's really too... too coincidental..."

"Ha..." Leaf Chen laughed and pretended to be curious: "By the way, what did you two do after I left?"

Manjun Liu explained: "I was originally planning to call Xiaowan to go have lunch together, but she seemed unwell with a headache, so I let Auntie take her back." JrNovels.com
