Hua Ling, on the other hand, was different, while busy with work after being saved, she didn’t forget to have her assistant help search for information about Xu Fei’s identity.
After much effort, they finally found some details, including this phone number.
So, finally contacting Xu Fei, Hua Ling’s excitement was hard to put into words.
“How could you forget, Mr. Xu? I, Hua Ling, am someone who repays a drop of kindness with a gushing spring! Now that I’ve reached you, I must properly repay this life-saving grace!”
Xu Fei sensed something else in her words, to avoid her persistence and give her an out.
Thinking of dinner plans not yet made, Xu Fei saw this as a good excuse.
“No need for grand repayments, it was just a small gesture, if you really want to repay me, how about treating my family to dinner?”
In fact, before digging into Xu Fei’s identity, Hua Ling had wondered.
If Xu Fei was just an ordinary person, she’d still want to show her gratitude properly.
After all, as a big celebrity, she had plenty of income, earning more money than most could spend in a lifetime.
But when Hua Ling got Xu Fei’s real information, she found he was a highly successful businessman, with wealth not far behind her own.
So, hearing Xu Fei’s suggestion, Hua Ling was delighted, she’d even feared he might outright reject her.
“No problem, Mr. Xu, tonight at six, we’ll meet at Xiangzhang Garden!”
After hanging up, Hua Ling quickly had her assistant book a spot at Xiangzhang Garden.
Xu Fei then turned to Lin Qingxue beside him, explaining the whole story.
Lin Qingxue wasn’t jealous about it, instead, she took it in stride.
“Didn’t expect that young lady to be so conscientious, since that’s the case, let’s go this afternoon!”
Time flew, and soon it was afternoon, to keep the appointment, Xu Fei drove his family to Xiangzhang Garden early.
To Xu Fei’s surprise, Hua Ling, out of courtesy, had also arrived early at Xiangzhang Garden.
The two parties unexpectedly met in the parking lot outside Xiangzhang Garden.
“Even though Mr. Xu is now such a successful boss, you’re still so punctual, truly rare!”
Hearing these somewhat flattering words, Xu Fei shook his head, waved his hand, and said.
“If you still see me as your saviour, no need for such polite flattery, let’s just go in and eat!”
Hua Ling nodded, inwardly regretting her little ploy, and quickly led Xu Fei and the others into a private room.
Beijing was a city teeming with the powerful, high-end restaurants like Xiangzhang Garden were countless.
Hua Ling had carefully chosen this place, feeling only such a venue matched Xu Fei’s and her own status.
Though it was only their second meeting, Hua Ling’s outgoing personality, combined with Xu Fei’s family being welcoming, helped.
So, they soon hit it off at the dining table, the atmosphere lively and cheerful.
Especially Xu Fei’s daughter, Lele, with her sweet little mouth, kept praising Hua Ling as a beautiful姐姐, making Hua Ling beam with joy.
Just as they were chatting happily, Hua Ling suddenly got a phone call.
Picking up the phone, Hua Ling saw it was her assistant, so she answered.
“Hello, what’s up? Didn’t I tell you I’m at Xiangzhang Garden and not to disturb me unless it’s urgent?”
Though Hua Ling’s tone was firm, the person on the other end could only grit their teeth and say with a bitter expression.
