Taibai Pavilion is well-known in City A and is usually a great place to host VIPs. It seemed a bit too extravagant for him to invite her here for dinner today. Upon entering the lobby and checking in at the front desk, a hostess dressed in a qipao led her upstairs.
Once inside the private room, the vintage and grand decor caught her eye. The intricately carved antique-style furnishings followed ancient traditions, from the doors and windows to the small decorations, all exuding an air of antiquity.
She paused, glancing toward the dining table, only to realize that it wasn't just Mu Tongzi sitting there; her father was also present. What was going on?
“Dad, why are you... here too?” Meeting Gu Fengchen's equally surprised gaze, Green Qi turned to the man who was calmly preparing pickles. “President, why did you invite us both for dinner?”
“You work under me, and your dad is my business partner. It's only natural for us to have a meal together.” Raising an eyebrow, Mu Tongzi slowly set down the purple clay teapot in his hand and looked at her, his deep Black Eyes shimmering with an inscrutable light.
“Daughter, sit down quickly. Mu Zong is treating us to dinner today; I’m truly honored. We should be the ones inviting him instead. Mu Zong agreeing to collaborate with us this time is a huge help for me. You must do your best working under Mu Zong!” Gu Fengchen winked at Green Qi, urging her to sit next to Mu Tongzi.
As soon as she sat down, Green Qi heard her father and Mu Tongzi engaging in formalities: “My daughter Qiqi has just entered society and is fortunate enough to work at Mu Zong's company. As her father, I feel proud yet anxious; she has always been proud herself. If she does anything wrong at work, I hope Mu Zong will be understanding!”
“Gu Zong is being modest. I have high hopes for Miss Gu’s abilities. I was worried that giving her the position of Design Director might be too much for her, but now that you mention it, I feel much more at ease!” With a half-smile, he toyed with his teacup, the antique cup encircled by his long fingers, revealing glimpses of time's charm through the ink wash painting on its surface.
“Although this child has returned from studying abroad, she lacks work experience. She became a Design Director right after joining the company; I worry she might not be able to handle this position!”
“Gu Zong should have confidence in your daughter; I have great faith in Miss Gu’s talent!” Elegantly handing over a cup of brewed tea, Mu Tongzi casually chatted with Gu Fengchen, occasionally glancing at her with an expression she couldn't quite decipher.
The waiter brought over the Menu, and Mu Tongzi, acting gentlemanly, handed a copy to Gu Lvq Qi. With indifference, he said, “Order whatever you like; today is just a simple meal. Don't feel uncomfortable.”
“...” Since the President said it was just a simple meal, she didn't need to be polite anymore; after all, he had plenty of money!
She casually opened the menu and looked at it, selecting a few of her favorite dishes. Then she glanced at the man who was talking to her father and chose several light dishes. She actually didn't know what he liked to eat, but last time they had dinner together, he ordered light dishes, so following his lead should be safe. Her father had a weak stomach, so he could only eat light food as well.
After ordering, Green Qi handed the menu to the waiter and leisurely savored the rich aroma of the high-quality Bi Luo Chun tea in front of her.
