Chapter 45: Confrontation

"It seems that Ji Chen won't work overtime today," Jiang Baiwan put down his phone and said to Tan Mi, "he said he will be there soon."
Tan Mi smiled faintly, then hurriedly corrected her face, and said to Jiang Baiwan: "Go to the kitchen to help, let Master Wei do it alone, don't you, the boss, help?"
That said, Jiang Baiwan didn't think much, he jumped up and ran into the kitchen to help.
Now, there are only two people left at the table, Tan Mi and Luo Xiao. Tan Mi looked at Luo Xiao upright, and Luo Xiao smiled at Tan Mi, and bowed his head to play with her mobile phone.
It's just that Tan Mi didn't intend to let him go so simply: "Which company does Mr. Luo work for?"
"It's not far away," Luo Xiao's hand gestured in the air, "It's right next to the Haochen Building. The company is not big, but I can earn points every month."
Tan Mi smiled: "Mr. Luo said this too politely. Venture capitalists often record shows. Others don't know, but I still know a little bit." Everyone is a scene person, so there is no need to talk about the scene. Right?
Luo Xiao naturally understood Tan Mi's meaning, but this person pretended to be silly and did not answer the move: "It's okay, it's okay that the whole family will not be hungry if one person is full, if it weren't for Xiaowan's Mala Tang. , I will not come every day."
Tan Mi was suddenly frustrated, first cursed Jiang Baiwan in her heart for not being able to look at people, and then began to complain why Ji Chen had to contribute his own chef to this small Mala Tang shop. Now there are big-tailed wolves coming, and there are ready-made excuses. When you arrive, it depends on what you do.
What Tan Mi didn't know was that Ji Chen had already met Luo Xiao once, and the atmosphere between the two was quite tense. This time Tan Mi asked Jiang Baiwan to call Ji Chen over, but Luo Xiao had nothing to say, but Ji Chen would have a big "surprise" when he arrived later.

Ji Chen was originally busy in the office, but suddenly he received a call from Jiang Baiwan. In the microphone, Jiang Baiwan's voice was still brisk, and the listener couldn't help but feel comfortable.
Regarding Jiang Baiwan's invitation, Ji Chen did not hesitate, and agreed with one bite. After hanging up the phone, Ji Chen began to struggle again-if he was going to eat, what would he bring later?
When Assistant Xu came in to deliver the documents, he saw Mr. Ji sitting at his desk. He looked calmly dealing with official duties, but in fact his eyes were very empty.
...Isn't Mr. Ji thinking about Miss Jiang again?
Assistant Xu walked in calmly, put the file on Ji Chen's desk, and pretended to say in passing: "Ji, is there anything else?"
Ji Chen was called by Assistant Xu, and then he recovered from his thoughts. He frowned and looked at Assistant Xu. After a moment of silence, he finally asked, "Xiao Wan called me to eat at her place. Do you want me to go back and change clothes?"
"Ms. Ji, you still don't want to change your clothes," Assistant Xu hurriedly stopped him, "Ms. Jiang, what do you want to eat?" Wouldn't it be Ms. Ji to eat spicy soup?
Ji Chen: "Hot pot."
Assistant Xu: ...It's okay, better than Mala Tang.
"Since you are eating hot pot, you can always wear a different set of clothes that season," Assistant Xu carefully advises Ji Chen. "Ms. Jiang should have seen you in a suit many times and change to another casual dress. If it does, it should give Ms. Jiang a different view."
Ji Chen's eyes lit up and he let out a "huh", and Assistant Xu knew that Ji Chen had responded: "Ji Chen, you can bring some vegetables on the way there. It will also look more cordial."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you," Ji Chen nodded, "I'll change my clothes, and you can order some dishes for me."
Assistant Xu went down to work with all his hard work, and when he was on the phone, Assistant Xu couldn't help sighing again in his heart - there are really not many good assistants like him this year.
So, after an hour, Ji Chen appeared in front of Jiang Baiwan's shop, wearing a stiff windbreaker, carrying a few dishes in person.
Just as he was about to enter the door, he...heard a man's voice coming from the shop: "Xiao Wan, where are you making fried shrimp? When is it okay? Are you going to starve me and Miss Tan to death?"
"Cannibals are short, you have the ability to come in the kitchen to do it yourself!" Jiang Baiwan's voice was a little quiet, it should be far away.
It's just that man... Ji Chen's face was indistinctly dark, but soon he adjusted it and walked into the Mala Tang shop alone.
It just so happened that Jiang Baiwan walked out of the kitchen with a plate. She saw Ji Chen at the door and immediately raised a big smile: "Ji Chen, you are here, I also want to call and ask when you will arrive."
When Ji Chen saw Jiang Baiwan, his expression became milder with naked eyes: "I happened to have nothing to do today, so I just came over."
With that said, Ji Chen walked to the table and put a few dishes on the table: "I brought a few dishes. They taste very good. We will eat together later."
"Okay," Jiang Baiwan put the plate in his hand on the table, "This is the fried shrimp I just made. Try it. I'll go in and help Master Wei. We can have hot pot later."
After speaking, Jiang Baiwan ran to the kitchen again, and there were only three people left in the hall in an instant.
The atmosphere became more and more embarrassing. Tan Mi didn't like Luo Xiao in this side, and the other side was a little uncomfortable with the Ji Chen she had thought about, so she simply lowered her head to play with her mobile phone. Luo Xiao, as usual, said hello to Ji Chen from his own time, and Ji Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, right to respond.
Why is this person here too!
At this moment, the voices of the three people were unified.
Ji Chen stared at Luo Xiao on the opposite side. Since he met Luo Xiao last time, he went back to find someone and checked Luo Xiao's details.
On the contrary, Luo Xiao's innocence and innocence are exactly the same as what he puts on the bright side. This man has no other hobbies, and he just likes to play games. Except for a better job and education, the rest are no different from ordinary people.
Because of this, Ji Chen is even more stuffy. He couldn't tell why he was upset, but he didn't like Luo Xiao anyway.
Perhaps Ji Chen stared at Luo Xiao for too long. Luo Xiao on the opposite side suddenly looked at him. The eyes of the two ran into each other unexpectedly. Ji Chen hadn't recovered yet, Luo Xiao just came back. We greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Ji, come and try the fried shrimp made by Xiaowan, she has a pretty good craftsmanship."
Luo Xiao's name is Jiang Baiwan and he is very intimate, and he puts himself and Jiang Baiwan together, but Ji Chen has become an outsider.
Tan Mi couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Ji Chen, wanting to see how this President Ji would react when facing a rival in love.
I saw that Ji Chen picked up a pair of chopsticks in a hurry, took a fried shrimp and tasted it. After eating, he said, "It's pretty good. It's much better than her previous craft. I still remember she was here. Before opening this store, I had to make a bowl of mala Tang by myself. The taste is really... so that I will never forget it for a lifetime."
I know Jiang Baiwan much earlier than you, and I have eaten her own meals several times. When will it be your turn for the pheasant to be here to gurgle day.
Tan Mi automatically translated Ji Chen's words in her heart, only to feel that she was about to suffocate her internal injuries.
Luo Xiao said "Oh": "It turns out that Mr. Ji and Xiaowan have known each other a long time ago, I blame me, I am negligent. When chatting with Xiaowan tonight, she seemed to have said this."
Jiang Baiwan and I often chat, and she never mentioned you very much. Are you two really in a good relationship?
When Ji Chen heard the words, the dark eyes were calm, but they seemed to be turbulent. He calmly said: "After all, I and Xiao Wan... used to have something, although now it has passed, she may still be a little bit brooding."
He was vague, but the more vague he said at this time, the better who was. After all, Luo Xiao couldn't get to the bottom.
Who knows that Luo Xiao didn't care at all, he laughed, as if relieved Ji Chen: "It's okay, it's okay, let the past things pass. When anyone hasn’t quarreled between friends, everyone will be fine when things pass. My friend."
...
Hearing that Luo Xiao directly decided the affair between Ji Chen and Jiang Baiwan into a "friend quarrel", Tan Mi couldn't help but laughed out loud.
When she smiled like this, the two men looked at her at the same time. Of course, Tan Mi is not afraid. She raised her head and glanced at two people: "Since we are all sitting down, let’s eat the vegetables. Mr. Ji brought some vegetables. Mr. Ji, please take it to the kitchen to heat it. Click it."
Although Ji Chen had rejected her before, Tan Mi was still on Ji Chen's side intellectually—it was obvious that Ji Chen was more sincere to Jiang Baiwan, but he still couldn't tell it, so he couldn't figure it out better than Luo Xiao. Is much better.
Ji Chen knew that Tan Mi was handing herself a ladder, so he took it. He took the plastic bag and stood up: "Then I will go to the kitchen."
After speaking, he strode to the kitchen.
Tan Mi glanced at Luo Xiao and saw that he was lowering his head while biting on a straw to drink a drink, and couldn't help calling him: "Hey, what you... just said was the truth?"
Luo Xiao blinked his eyes and said, "What? I just chatted with Mr. Ji."
Tan Mi looked at Luo Xiao, sneered, and deliberately said: "Yes, but some things are still very troublesome. After all, who will kill you, the result is uncertain."
Luo Xiao didn't have any reaction to this, but continued to lower his head and bit the straw, as if the person who had just been with Ji Chen to fight the battle was not him.
