Chapter 420 - Let's Get a Divorce (5)
Chapter 420: Let’s Get a Divorce (5)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Are you and Mr. Si dating?”
The question stunned her.
They were just about to get a divorce. That meant that they weren’t dating, right?
Zhuang Nainai pressed her lips together and shook her head.
Su Jinhui’s eyes brightened. “Then, you and Mr. Si…”
She didn’t want to deceive anyone, and, coupled with the fact that Su Jinhui was suddenly so friendly, something told her that there was something fishy going on.
Just as Zhuang Nainai was about to reply, someone knocked on her door. Swallowing the words she had prepared, she went to open the door.
Just outside the door stood a crowd of coworkers from the fashion design department.
Mi Nuo was at the head of the group, and upon seeing Zhuang Nainai open the door, she gave a face of helplessness. “Leader Zhuang, I can’t help it either… I was pushed by them to come and find you.”
She was now her usual self, acting as if all the unhappiness that had happened earlier didn’t exist.
She was really such a good actress!
Now that the issue with the design drafts had been resolved, Zhuang Nainai knew that it was Mi Nuo who had been behind everything. Yet, because of a lack of evidence due to Mi Nuo’s meticulousness, nobody was able to put the blame on her!
Zhuang Nainai narrowed her eyes. Mi Nuo beamed, her demeanor pleasant. “Leader Zhuang, the colleagues have been saying that you’ve been promoted. We should celebrate this happy occasion, should we not?”
She was talking about a celebration, but wasn’t it just her wanting Zhuang Nainai to treat all of them to a meal?
It was industry protocol to do so; Zhuang Nainai knew she had no way of refusing it.
But there was a huge problem!
She, Zhuang Nainai, was a pauper!
Treating a hundred or so people to a meal would take tens of thousands of dollars!
She didn’t even have a few thousand dollars.
But the coworkers were now looking eagerly at her. As they were without any malice and only wanting to get a free meal, Zhuang Nainai felt unable to refuse them.
Just as she was hesitating, she heard Su Jinhui’s voice come from behind. “That’s a must. I was just discussing with Leader Zhuang about where to go for dinner tonight.”
The mention of this got the colleagues excited.
“Let’s go to Jin Quan! They’ve got a really good buffet spread, and the cost per person is only slightly over a hundred dollars!”
“What do you mean, go for a buffet? Are we at a gathering? I say, let’s go to Yi Jiang Nan and get ourselves a private room!”
“The food at Yi Jiang Nan is horrible! Let’s just stick to whatever the boss says, as long as we get to eat!”
“Oh yes, that’s true!”
Everyone turned to look at Su Jinhui, waiting eagerly for him to speak. Casting a glance at Zhuang Nainai, Su Jinhui smiled. “The weather’s so cold nowadays. Let’s go eat lamb spine hotpot! I know of a place that serves a really good lamb spine hotpot. It’s called Li Ji Lamb Spine Hotpot.”
While lamb spine hotpot was not a mainstream dish, it was nonetheless a Beijing specialty, and eating at Li Ji was also pricier than eating at a buffet.
“Wow! That’s great!”
“Let’s settle on this!”
Having discussed this, the colleagues began talking about how to get to to the dinner venue.
Mi Nuo swept her gaze over Su Jinhui, then smiled. “Leader Zhuang and Leader Su sure share a good relationship!”
Immediately, Su Jinhui replied, “She’s my junior. Of course I have to take care of her.”
Just as Mi Nuo was about to reply to him, Zhuang Nainai beamed and spoke first. “Why are you here, Director Mi? Are you so free that you have the time to come and have a chat with us?”
