Chapter 723: What's His Background?
As soon as the group entered the private room, a woman in her thirties wearing a black work dress walked in.
Wu Di immediately stood up with a smile and said, "Let me introduce everyone, this is the owner's wife of this restaurant."
Then he turned to the woman, "Sister Zhao, I've brought customers to you, shouldn't you bring out your highest culinary standards?"
The woman smiled gently, "Don't worry, I'll specially instruct the chef to bring out the best culinary skills."
"Also, today's consumption for everyone will be 20% off."
Wu Di was very satisfied, "Then thank you in advance, Sister Zhao."
"You brought customers to support our business, I should be the one thanking you."
"Young Master Wu, how would you like the dishes to be served today?"
Wu Di smiled, "We're just this many people, you decide how to serve."
"No problem, I'll make sure everyone eats and drinks well."
After exchanging a few more words with smiles, the woman turned and left.
Wu Di's girlfriend frowned and asked, "Are you very familiar with her?"
Wu Di hurriedly explained, "Darling, please don't misunderstand. Our department often comes here for gatherings, it's our department head who's familiar with her."
"Hmph. The way you two were looking at each other, it seemed like there was something going on."
Wu Di smiled bitterly, "I'm really being wronged here. There's such a big age gap between us, how could that be possible?"
"In my eyes, you're the most beautiful."
Sun Lingxiu was satisfied.
"That's more like it. I'm a bit thirsty."
"No problem. I'll have them bring you a drink right away. Wait, I'll go get it for you now."
Wu Di stood up, "Darling, do you want Coke or Sprite?"
"I want orange juice with pulp."
"Okay. I'll get it right away."
As they watched Wu Di leave the room, Chen Fan and the others exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat strange.
Especially Liu Qianqian and Song Linlin, who glanced at each other and almost burst out laughing.
Chen Fan was a bit speechless.
What was Di brother doing?
Where was his usually arrogant and self-confident demeanor?
Since when had he become so subservient to a woman?
Soon the food was served, but Ma Xiaoshuai hadn't arrived yet.
Luo Wenjie suggested waiting a bit. Everyone had no objections.
But Wu Di's girlfriend suddenly said she was starving.
Wu Di looked at everyone apologetically.
"I'm sorry everyone, my girlfriend didn't have breakfast this morning. How about I serve her a little first to fill her stomach?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "It's fine, we're all friends here, no need to be polite."
Seeing Wu Di's embarrassment, Chen Fan spoke again.
"Why don't we all start eating? After all, Xiaoshuai is one of us, he should be here soon."
Hearing Chen Fan say this, everyone began to use their chopsticks.
Wu Di gave Chen Fan a grateful look.
However, this time, everyone's impression of Wu Di's girlfriend was not very good.
15 minutes later, Ma Xiaoshuai arrived.
Although the nominal purpose of this meal was to treat Han Xu, Sun Hao, and Liu Qianqian, Ma Xiaoshuai was the main character.
Everyone took turns drinking a glass with Ma Xiaoshuai and said some comforting words.
Ma Xiaoshuai's mood had improved a lot, at least much better than in the morning.
During the meal, Wu Di's girlfriend kept saying she wanted to eat this or try that, but she wouldn't use her own chopsticks, insisting that Wu Di pick up the food and put it in her bowl.
Wu Di was happy to oblige, while everyone else watched the two of them perform.
Ma Xiaoshuai, unaware of what had happened earlier, looked confused when he first saw this scene.
Luo Wenjie whispered to Chen Fan, "This isn't finding a girlfriend, it's finding a mother."
That sentence almost made Liu Qianqian, who was sitting next to Chen Fan, burst out laughing.
Halfway through the meal, someone knocked on the door of the private room, and soon the woman from earlier walked in with a waiter.
The waiter was holding a bottle of baijiu.
"Sorry to interrupt."
"Everyone, is the food to your liking?"
Luo Wenjie and Chen Fan glanced at each other and nodded, "It's not bad."
Wu Di smiled, "Don't worry, boss lady, I vouched for you."
"I'm satisfied as long as everyone is enjoying their meal."
The boss lady smiled as she raised her hand to adjust a strand of hair on her forehead, inadvertently revealing a charming demeanor.
"Young Master Wu, which one is Mr. Chen? Can you introduce me?"
As she said this, the boss lady's gaze was already scanning the faces of the men in the room.
Wu Di stood up with a smile, "Come. Let me introduce you."
"Boss lady, this is my college roommate and good brother, Chen Fan."
The boss lady immediately put on a surprised expression.
"Oh my, Mr. Chen is even younger and more handsome than the rumors say, it's really impressive."
"I've long heard of Mr. Chen's reputation, and seeing you today, you're indeed handsome and dashing."
"Mr. Chen coming to our humble restaurant today is truly our honor. I've brought a bottle of Wuliangye, consider it a gift for everyone."
Chen Fan stood up somewhat helplessly.
He glanced at Wu Di, knowing without asking that Wu Di must have revealed his identity when he went out earlier.
But not wanting to embarrass his old classmate, Chen Fan couldn't refuse.
So he smiled and shook hands with her.
The woman's hand was very soft and smooth, not at all like the touch of a woman in her thirties.
The woman smiled at Chen Fan.
"Also, Mr. Chen coming to eat at my restaurant today really excites me. Your table's bill will be 70% off. Consider it as getting to know each other and making friends."
Chen Fan nodded with a smile.
"Thank you very much then."
"You're welcome. Mr. Chen, please continue, I won't disturb you further."
The woman knew her boundaries and didn't linger, but made her point and immediately said goodbye.
In the business world, this is how it works. Meeting for the first time and getting to know each other is already a big step.
No one would be presumptuous from the start, as that would be considered lowly.
After the woman left, Luo Wenjie immediately clicked his tongue.
"A beautiful married woman, ah. Brother Fan still has face, she immediately gave you a 70% discount. And even gifted an extra bottle of good liquor."
Wu Di looked a bit embarrassed and quickly picked up his wine glass.
"Old Chen, thanks for covering for me today."
"I accidentally let it slip when I went out earlier, and she insisted on meeting you. I really had no choice."
"I'll punish myself with a drink."
He said and drained his glass in one go.
Chen Fan waved his hand.
"It's fine. We're all brothers."
He also picked up his glass and accompanied with a drink.
But Sun Lingxiu beside them was a bit surprised.
The reason she was willing to come with Wu Di today was to get to know Wu Di's circle of friends, and even show off a bit.
After all, her background plus Wu Di's civil servant status was enough to make most people envious.
Who would have thought that among Wu Di's friends, there was a hidden big shot.
And it was the young man who had been very low-key and spoke little from the beginning.
Sun Lingxiu didn't know Chen Fan's true identity.
But she was very smart.
She could judge Chen Fan's weight just by the boss lady's behavior earlier.
When she first entered the private room, the boss lady told Wu Di it would be 20% off.
But after knowing Chen Fan was here, it immediately became 70% off.
The contrast was too big.
Sun Lingxiu couldn't help but be curious.
Who exactly was this Chen Fan?
