Chapter 696: Have a meal with me
"Senior sister, I have a question for you. Did you tell the teacher about what happened to me?" Fei Song ran to the stairwell and called Sheng Lei.
Fei Song is just bookish; he's not stupid at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been accepted as Huang Xiaochuan's disciple. So he guessed just now that his sudden transfer was related to his teacher.
"I was too embarrassed to trouble you, teacher. A couple of days ago, Uncle Ding came to our securities company to inspect the work. He saw me and chatted with me for a while, and I mentioned your matter to him."
Sheng Lei told Fei Song the truth, but then she thought that something must have happened to Fei Song, otherwise why would he call to ask this? So she asked Fei Song, "Has something happened?"
After getting the answer from Sheng Lei, Fei Song breathed a sigh of relief and told her what had happened that morning: "I knew this wouldn't be so simple. Today, our branch suddenly issued a notice about job adjustments, and I was transferred to the branch manager's office as an assistant."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Lei immediately thought to herself, "My uncle is really capable. I just told him about Fei Song, and Fei Song has already been promoted. This speed is incredible!"
"This is a good thing!" Sheng Lei was still very happy for Fei Song.
At this moment, Fei Song asked again, "Senior sister, do you think the teacher knows about this too?"
Sheng Lei really didn't know, and she couldn't answer the question right away.
But at the same time, Ding Yi suddenly arrived at the Ming and Qing Furniture Museum on the first floor of the Pudong Public Library. Huang Xiaochuan, who had heard the news, came down from his office to meet him.
"Why aren't you at work? What are you doing here?" Huang Xiaochuan was wary of Ding Yi, this uninvited guest. After all, this guy had tricked him several times and was still eyeing his precious daughter as his daughter-in-law. He had to be careful around this guy.
Ding was very dissatisfied with Huang Xiaochuan's attitude: "Look at you, making me feel like I'm some kind of monster, what's wrong with you?"
Huang Xiaochuan rolled his eyes at him, letting him figure it out for himself.
Seeing Huang Xiaochuan's expression, Ding Yi simply laid his cards on the table: "Let me tell you, be polite to me, you owe me a favor, you know that?"
Huang Xiaochuan thought he'd misheard: "What? I owe you a favor? Are you dreaming in broad daylight?"
"Hmph!" Ding Yi sneered. "Fine! You thought I was lying to you, huh! Well, let me tell you what happened." Ding Yi then told Huang Xiaochuan about Fei Song.
Huang Xiaochuan frowned upon hearing this.
After Ding Yi explained the whole story and its outcome, he said with a smug look on his face, "Don't you think you owe me a favor?"
Huang Xiaochuan ignored him, waved his hand, and soon Gao Song, who was not far from the two of them, jogged over.
"Mr. Huang!"
Huang Xiaochuan held out his hand: "Give me your phone."
After getting the phone, Huang Xiaochuan found Fei Song's number in the phone's contacts and dialed it without hesitation.
Fei Song, who had just spoken to Sheng Lei on the phone, was about to return to his workstation when his phone rang again. He took out his phone, glanced at it, and quickly ran back into the stairwell. After the call connected, Fei Song respectfully greeted Huang Xiaochuan on the other end of the line, "Hello, teacher!"
Huang Xiaochuan didn't say anything to Fei Song on the phone, he just said, "Have lunch with me, I'll send a car to pick you up."
Fei Song hesitated for a moment, then quickly agreed, "Okay, teacher!"
Huang Xiaochuan then called Sheng Lei and said the same thing.
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Lei was incredibly excited! It took her a while to calm herself down.
After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaochuan said to Ding Yi, "Let's have lunch together!"
"Of course! I've put in so much effort and even came all this way to tell you. How can you not treat me to a meal? Cola Novels—Your Private Mobile Library, Accessible Anytime." Ding Yi felt it was only right to have Huang Xiaochuan treat him to a meal.
Huang Xiaochuan softened his tone for once: "Alright, stop wandering around. If you have nothing else to do, come upstairs with me for tea."
Unexpectedly, Ding Yi really didn't treat me like an outsider: "I just ran out of tea recently, don't forget to pack some for me to take with me later."
If it weren't for the fact that he owed this guy a favor, Huang Xiaochuan definitely wouldn't have bothered with him; this guy is just too annoying.
At noon, a Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the Huaxia Bank Shanghai branch across the Bund.
In recent years, the number of luxury cars in Shanghai has been increasing year by year. For institutions like banks, it is not surprising to see such luxury cars in front of their doors, since many of their customers own one or another luxury car.
However, those were all for picking up and dropping off clients, and had nothing to do with the bank employees. But today, this brand-new Rolls-Royce was there to pick up one of them.
It was lunchtime, and bank employees were leaving the bank one after another, either going home or having lunch nearby.
This scene was witnessed by some bank employees who had finished get off work, and they immediately began to speculate about Fei Song's background. Some young girls even regretted that they hadn't recognized his talent and had missed the prince charming right in front of them.
Cao Ping happened to witness this scene as well. She bit her lip with a bitter expression, watching Fei Song get into the Rolls-Royce and leave calmly. Only then did she understand why her uncle had scolded her. It turned out that Fei Song's background was much deeper than hers. Her little schemes and sense of superiority were nothing compared to true strength.
The lunch was at an Italian restaurant near the Guangda Real Estate Building. Gao Song met Fei Song at the door, and the two exchanged pleasantries.
Then Gao Song urged, "Let's go in quickly, Mr. Huang and Director Ding are already waiting for you inside."
"Brother Gao, thank you!" Fei Song expressed his gratitude.
"Why are we being so polite, brothers? Come on, let's go inside!" Gao Song patted Fei Song on the shoulder in a friendly manner.
"Teacher! Uncle-Master!" Fei Song slumped down as he approached Huang Xiaochuan and Ding Yi.
Huang Xiaochuan looked up at him and said in a calm tone, "Have a seat!"
A waiter standing nearby then stepped forward to pull out a chair for Fei Song. After sitting down, Fei Song didn't forget to thank the waiter!
The waiter placed a menu in front of Fei Song. Fei Song looked at Huang Xiaochuan, then at Ding Yi.
Huang Xiaochuan said, "Why are you looking at us? Look at the menu and order whatever you like!"
"Oh!" Fei Song quickly picked up the menu.
Just as Fei Song was looking at the menu, Sheng Lei came running over and suddenly stopped in front of the three of them, her face flushed.
Before he could even stand properly, he quickly greeted Huang Xiaochuan and Ding Yi: "Hello, teacher! Hello, senior uncle!"
Huang Xiaochuan glared at her, feigning displeasure: "How old are you? Why are you still so clumsy? Sit down, catch your breath, see what you like to eat, and order for yourself."
"Hey!" Sheng Lei sat down happily.
Before long, the four of them had ordered their food. Because it was lunchtime, none of them drank alcohol.
Throughout the meal, apart from Huang Xiaochuan chatting with Ding Yi for a few minutes, he didn't say a word to Sheng Lei or Fei Song.
Sheng Lei and Fei Song clearly sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat unusual, and they carefully accompanied their teacher and uncle to finish the meal.
After the meal, the four of them went to Huang Xiaochuan's office in the Guangda Real Estate Building.
