Lo Ningxi had a nameless fire in her heart, typing furiously with indignation, “Don’t mention it, I waited for him here for two and a half hours, but he never showed up!”

"You call and urge him, did he get delayed on the road?" Li Bochen replied.

Luningxi frowned, "I've beaten it, but no one has picked up."

As soon as she finished speaking, her phone suddenly rang. Luo Ningxi saw that it was Wang Yang calling and immediately picked up, trying to suppress the anxiety in her heart, thinking that maybe the other party really had something important to attend to.

Luo Ningxi thought this way, but Wang Yang's voice sounded insincere and without a trace of guilt as he said, "Miss Luo, are you still at the restaurant? I'm so sorry, something came up on my end, so I can't make it."

His enthusiasm was doused like a bucket of cold water. Luo Ningxi clenched his phone, his face gritted with teeth but his voice remained calm. "It's okay, just let me know beforehand if you can't make it next time."

"Oh, well, something came up on short notice! Let me treat you to dinner another day!"

After speaking, Wang Yang didn't give the woman a chance to ask any questions and directly hung up the phone.

Luo Ningxi, “......”

My blood was boiling! If Wang Yang were here, Luo Ningxi would have slapped him twice!

But the restaurant location was already set, and she didn't want to waste it. So she woke up Su Qiao, who was enjoying a rare two-day vacation at home sleeping beauty sleep.

In the planning department office of Hongda Group, Li Bochen looked at the text message from Luo Ningxi, his handsome eyebrows furrowed.

Luningxi told herself that Wang Yang had invited her to dinner, there was no reason for him to stand her up, unless there was something fishy going on.

Just as Mo Yao emailed to inquire about Shengshi Group's work agenda, Li Botong took the opportunity to handle the matter here. He was just about to ask Mengyao to check on Wang Yang and what was going on when Zhang Xiao walked over with a grim expression.

He calmly closed his computer screen, continuing to type messages with an air of indifference. He completely disregarded his boss's presence, appearing unbothered and careless.

Mo Yao looked at the boss whose screen suddenly went black, he was already used to it.

Since the boss left HTC, it's been happening almost every time that meetings would suddenly disappear.

Mo Yao sighed. The formidable, decisive and strategic leader of Shengshi who once held everything in his hands, now had to sneak around even for a simple meeting.

......

In the restaurant, less than fifteen minutes passed before Su Qiao arrived wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask – the "three-piece set".

As a black and red small star in the entertainment industry, Su Qiao was blacked out by black fans. It seemed that no matter what she did, she was easily attacked by netizens for being a fraudster. Even her agent complained that she was always on the verge of being fired at any time.

"You told me on WeChat that you were stood up? What happened?"

Luningxi vented her frustrations to her friend, recounting the whole incident. “Wang Yang was clearly doing it on purpose, but I need his help now, so I can’t publicly tear him apart.”

Su Qiao heard this and couldn't help but feel sorry for Luo Ningxi. A delicate and cute doll face was now contorted with anger. "Being manipulated like this all the time only emboldens him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any savings from acting to give you in an emergency."

Luo Ningxi's most caring thing was to have such a good girlfriend, and then shook her head.

"The Luo family group is now a bottomless pit, and your money is all from the hard work you put into acting. It's been peeled layer by layer by your agent until there's not much left in your hands. Rest assured, I can handle it."

Su Qiao's pretty baby face puffed up, "But a bank president handling things so hastily feels kind of unreliable."

"Alright, I called you over today not to complain, sister. I called you here for you to enjoy yourself."

Food is right in front of you, how can you resist?

They immediately began to eat heartily.

At the next table, two girls were chatting while having their meal.

Unintentionally, Su Qiao heard one of the girls speak up, "Have you seen the viral piano queen online recently? It takes at least ten years to play like that."

My slightly overweight friend across from me asked, "Which one?"

He brought it out and displayed it for her to see.

A blurry, swaying video background shows a lively party with glasses clinking.

A woman in a dress sits at a piano, facing away from the camera. Her fingers dance lightly over the keys as lights cascade down around her, like starlight scattered beneath a dome. The scene is breathtakingly beautiful!
