She Is From The Countryside

557 someone asked me out for lunch

“young lady yan!”

it was a quiet café. as soon as shi yan entered, the two people sitting inside immediately stood up and greeted her.

The girl was Amy, 22 years old, a third-year computer science student at Jindo University. The boy’s name was Cui Hao. He was one of Shi Yan’s five students. He was 21 years old and a third-year student at Capital University. His major was chemistry.

among the five of them, shi yan had not looked for cui hao yet.

Cui Hao studied chemistry and was involved in academic and scientific research. He was involved in external business, but not much. It was more convenient for Shi Yan to look for someone else if she needed help, so she did not look for him.

Cui Hao was not a talkative person. On the contrary, he wore a pair of thick glasses and had the standard image of an introverted academic.

compared to him, amy was much more enthusiastic when she saw shi yan. It was not that he was cold. Since Shi Yan appeared, the way he stared at her was not cold.

shi yan smiled and nodded at them, then walked over.”sit.”

After she sat down, the two people opposite her sat up straight.

...

shi yan smiled. ” you don’t have to be so nervous. it’s not the first time we’ve met. ”

It wasn’t their first time meeting, but it had been almost ten years!

Seeing that they still couldn’t relax, Shi Yan didn’t say much. She called the waiter over and ordered a drink. Then she asked them what they wanted to drink. Amy said that they would come by themselves and took the menu.

After ordering, the two of them were not as tense as before.

This was a very natural change, and even Amy and Cui Hao themselves couldn’t explain it. It was clearly just the process of ordering, and they hadn’t even spoken much.

in the end, the two of them attributed this to shi yan’s affinity. it was because of this affinity that they felt no pressure when they were in the same space as her. they felt very relaxed and at ease.

Shi Yan didn’t know what they were thinking, or maybe she did, but she didn’t intend to delve into it. Seeing that the two of them had relaxed, she went straight to the point. “i asked you out today because i have some instructions.”

she didn’t say that she needed their help. if she did, the two of them would probably get nervous again.

......

half an hour later, they left the café, and amy drove shi yan to the door.

in the car, amy looked at shi yan in the back seat through the rearview mirror and asked, ” “miss yan, business is not cui hao’s area of expertise. most of the people who know him in the capital are either in academia or in research. i’m a little worried if i’m alone. should i call wei chuge back to help?”

...

Of course, Amy believed in her ability and her influence in the business world in the capital. This was the first time Shi Yan had officially ordered her to do something, and it was not a small task. She was afraid that she would mess it up. she didn’t need wei chuge’s help. she just felt more at ease with someone watching over her.

“Sure.”

after a pause, shi yan said,”call them back. call tong yan and tang fu.”

otherwise, if she didn’t call them one by one, they would think that she had something to do and didn’t look for her, and then let her imagination run wild.

All of them?

“okay!” amy’s eyes lit up.

they’re all called good! Miss Yan was finally willing to use them! previously, when she asked them for help, it was just a small matter. to them, it was just a small matter. it didn’t feel real to them that miss yan needed them. now, it finally felt real.

“miss yan, do you want to go to yanyun city or go back to lord fifth?”

yanyun was a manor that amy and the others had bought about four years after shi yan left the capital. it was under shi yan’s name. shi yan knew about it, but she had never been there.

The name was the same style as the “haze” of the city of Qing. It was given by the same person.

Yanyun was not smaller than Jiang Che’s independent Manor in the capital. However, its owner’s identity was unknown and it was not as famous as Jiang Che’s Manor. It was precisely because its owner’s identity was unknown that it gave it a sense of mystery and had some fame in the capital.

...

yanyun was said to be a manor, but in fact, it was more like a company. it was a company that had business dealings with the outside world. it was just that yanyun operated some invisible ” goods “.

Those who had dealt with Yanyun knew that the master behind Yanyun was very mysterious, and there was no information that Yanyun could not find.

that’s right, misty cloud’s main business was to sell “information.”

Yanyun didn’t have any standards when it came to accepting business. She was very casual and accepted as long as she liked it, no matter how big or small the business was. This made Yan Yun even more mysterious.

Of course, there were not many people in this era who had such needs, and not everyone knew what Yanyun did. in many people’s eyes, yanyun was just a big manor with a mysterious owner.

“i’m going to have lunch with someone at the full moon restaurant.”

Jingdu’s moon Pavilion was similar to Haicheng’s Jade Restaurant. They were both famous restaurants that were difficult to reserve.

moonview restaurant wasn’t far away, so they arrived in a short while.

after shi yan arrived, amy was a little worried about shi yan, but she didn’t insist after shi yan said that he didn’t need to follow her.

However, as the person in charge of “smoke cloud,” she had her own way of getting information. He did not deliberately send people to keep an eye on Shi Yan. He only sent people to watch the gate of the Moonview restaurant to ensure Shi Yan’s safety and to make sure that people could arrive in time if Shi Yan needed help.

shi yan was not the one who had made the appointment to have lunch at the full moon restaurant. without using any connections, she would not have been able to make a reservation at the full moon restaurant by herself.

...

someone had called her to ask her out after making the arrangements.

She pushed the door open and entered the private room. The person who had asked her out had already arrived.

he raised his head and looked at her, raising his eyebrows and smiling.”you’re here, sit.”

“second brother,” shi yan smiled and nodded at him.

the person who had asked her out was shi boxiao. at this time, only shi boxiao could ask her out so that she could meet him without any pressure.

shi yan sat down and shi pochen poured her a glass of warm water with a smile.”It’s not easy to ask you out alone.”

apart from school, she was almost inseparable from jiang che.

Don’t you feel tired of being together all day?

Of course, he didn’t say this. He knew very well that Shi Yan had a lot of things on her mind when she returned to the capital. At this time, he was happy to go along with her.

second brother, you must be joking. You asked me out and I have time, so I won’t miss the appointment.

shi boxiao was startled, but he was still in a good mood when he heard her say that.”You said it yourself, I didn’t force you to say it. Next time, when I ask you out alone, don’t refuse!”

...

“I won’t,” Shi Yan said with a smile.

” i went to see you yesterday, but you were sick and fell asleep. we didn’t get to talk. are you feeling better now? ” Shi boxiao furrowed his brows and looked her up and down, his eyes full of worry.

“It’s just a slight fever, but I’ve recovered a long time ago.” She smiled. if I hadn’t recovered, second brother wouldn’t have asked me out for dinner, right? ”

this was true.

he had only asked her out because the person he had sent to keep an eye on jiang che’s manor had told him that she had left early in the morning.

Based on how much Jiang che cared about her, he would not allow her to go out alone if she was not well.

“Look at how smart you are!” Shi Bozhen laughed and scolded.

“What do you want to eat? or do you want me to keep an eye on him?”

“Second brother, please order. As the owner of the full moon restaurant, you know the dishes here better than I do.”

Shi Yan knew that the owner of moon Pavilion was Shi Bozhen.

Since she had to return to the capital sooner or later, she had already asked Amy to send her a copy of the information she had deliberately ignored in the past years. However, the information that Amy had given her wasn’t very detailed. It was all superficial information. She didn’t know much about who the young lady of the Xie family was, or the disputes between the families.

...

however, she had already asked amy to prepare a more detailed one for her. with amy’s ability, she should be able to send her the things she wanted by tomorrow morning at the latest.
