"He invited me here again today. Does he want me to pay this time to settle the debt from last time?" Lin Jingzhu speculated in her mind.
"Sorry! I really forgot last time! How about I pay this time?" She just wanted to test the waters.
"Forget it, since I'm treating, I'll pay!"
Did one really need to pay here? Jiang Jun chose this place because it was upscale, and he had a super VIP card from last time that he hadn't used yet!
"Teacher Gong, are you here for dinner tonight too?" Three people got out of a taxi, all teachers from Ningzhou Middle School. Jiang Jun had worked part-time in the cafeteria at Ningzhou Middle School and had received many disdainful looks. However, one teacher had treated him particularly well back then. Jiang Jun knew his surname was Gong, so he called him Teacher Gong.
The other two teachers were also from Ningzhou Middle School, but Jiang Jun didn't know their surnames, so he didn't greet them.
"Hehe, yes! A few teachers said Director Zhang is treating tonight and brought me along to join the fun!"
The Director Zhang mentioned by Teacher Gong was probably Zhang Lin, the administrative director and Jiang Jun's former landlord.
Why was he being so generous by treating at such a place? Jiang Jun couldn't help but feel surprised.
Lin Jingzhu didn't know the three teachers and just followed Jiang Jun to greet Teacher Gong.
The three teachers recognized Jiang Jun but didn't know Lin Jingzhu. Seeing such a beautiful woman with Jiang Jun surprised them.
Perhaps fearing a misunderstanding, Teacher Gong didn't ask about Lin Jingzhu's identity and simply said politely, "Xiao Jiang, we’ll head up first. Director Zhang and a few teachers have already arrived."
"Okay, Teacher Gong! If you run into any trouble, give me a call!"
The other two teachers sneered and walked away with Teacher Gong.
Jiang Jun felt something was off about Zhang Lin treating them to dinner. A stingy person like him wouldn't choose such an upscale restaurant for a treat! So he expressed his concern for Teacher Gong naturally.
However, it sounded somewhat amusing to the teachers' ears. For a poor kid like him, just being able to eat here was already good enough; how could he help others with their troubles?
Jiang Jun was unaware of what the other two teachers were thinking and requested a private room for himself and Lin Jingzhu. This time, Jiang Jun didn't choose a couple's room, which disappointed Lin Jingzhu but was also expected.
After the food and drinks were served, Jiang Jun raised his glass and said, "Jingzhu, let's toast to our past friendship!"
Lin Jingzhu understood his meaning and remained silent as she clinked glasses with Jiang Jun. Since they were toasting to their past friendship, it meant there was no friendship now!
Lin Jingzhu realized she wasn't sad; perhaps she had mentally prepared herself for this. Or maybe she just didn't care deep down!
After that, they both drank quietly without saying much.
"Jiang Jun, since we have acquaintances drinking here tonight, which private room are they in? Let's go toast them!"
"I don't even know which private room it is! Just ask the front desk and you'll find out. I won't be going to toast, you can go by yourself!"
I didn't want to toast in the first place, and going with you, Lin the Beautiful, would only make those teachers think we're still a lovely couple.
Jiang Jun won't go, so Lin Jingzhu naturally won't either; she doesn't know those teachers anyway.
"Director Jiang, dining with your girlfriend? She’s really beautiful!" a voice called out.
Jiang Jun turned around to see Wan Haozhou!
"Hehe, Vice President Wan! What a coincidence, you're here too?"
"Yeah, I'm having dinner with a friend! Director Jiang, you came back today, right?"
"Yes. I stayed in Qingcheng last night and even saw a car accident! That car just brushed past me!"
"That was really close! Director Jiang, you're lucky; that driver got what he deserved and died on the spot!"
"How does Vice President Wan know that the driver died on the spot?"
Uh-oh, I slipped up! Wan Haozhou's eyes darted as he thought of how to handle it. "I read it in the newspaper!"
"Which newspaper?" Jiang Jun continued to press. The Qingcheng Daily did report it, but you were in Ningzhou, not Qingcheng!
"Of course it was the Qingcheng Daily. A supplier from Qingcheng came to deliver goods today and brought a copy of the Qingcheng Daily. I took a look at it! Director Jiang, I'm heading back to the private room so my friend doesn't wait too long!"
"Alright. Which private room is Vice President Wan in? I'll come toast later!"
"209. I'll be waiting for you, Director Jiang!"
Wan Haozhou hurried off.
"Jiang Jun, who is this Vice President Wan? How do you know him?" Lin Jingzhu shifted the topic.
"He’s the brother of Wan Haoyu, the head of Wan's Group in Jiangnan Province. He was also in Qingcheng yesterday for my grandfather's birthday celebration. That's how we met!"
"By the way, what was that car accident you mentioned earlier?"
Jiang Jun recounted the details of last night's accident.
Lin Jingzhu felt it was quite dangerous, but she wouldn't have guessed that the one who orchestrated this murder was none other than the Vice President Wan they had just encountered.
At this moment, Jiang Jun arrived at private room 209 with a glass in hand. Inside were only two people: Wan Haozhou and another middle-aged man.
"Director Jiang, this is a business friend of mine, Gao Tianqi! Vice President of Fortune Clothing! Mr. Gao, this is Jiang Jun, the chairman of Jiahua Clothing Company!" Wan Haozhou introduced them to each other.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!" Jiang Jun shook hands with Gao Tianqi. He seemed somewhat familiar! Where had they met before?
Although they appeared polite on the surface, Jiang Jun noticed that Gao Tianqi occasionally flashed a hint of hostility towards him, a look filled with hatred, as if he held a grudge against him.
Gao Wenbin! Jiang Jun suddenly felt that this middle-aged man resembled Gao Wenbin! Could he be his father? It seemed likely; they looked very similar!
