Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Your Blind Date Candidates, One Worse Than the Other
Qiao Yin whispered, “President Lu, this is my friend, watch what you say.”
“Friend?”
Lu Lingche frowned slightly, reaching out to take the materials on the table, but Qiao Yin immediately took them away. “These are my friend’s stuff, which involves trade secrets. Please do not touch them, President Lu.”
Lu Lingche gave her a cold look, then glanced at Song Zhu.
Song Zhu had already risen and reached out to him. “President Lu, it’s nice to meet you. My name is Song Zhu, I’m a friend of Doctor Qiao.”
But Lu Lingche outright ignored him and said to Qiao Yin, “Your blind date choices, one is worse than the other.”
Song Zhu, beyond awkward, withdrew his hand, his face white and then flushed.
Qiao Yin was quite angry, her tone changed, “It’s none of your business, please leave and don’t disturb us while we eat. Your presence spoils our appetite.”
Indeed, Lu Lingche didn’t have much time to say anything else as he was there to steal Dongfang Mu’s project and had specifically invited the relevant parties for dinner.
Also, if she said this was a friend and not a blind date, he believed her.
Because she acted differently today from how she did on their previous date.
However, he wondered when she had made such a male friend.
If he remembered correctly, she seemed to have few friends.
Soon, he left for a private room on the second floor with his assistant, leaving Qiao Yin with just a view of his back.
Watching him leave, Qiao Yin finally let out a breath of relief.
She was really afraid that he wouldn’t eat, and just drag her away instead.
Fortunately, he really came to dine today.
“My apologies, Doctor Song. His words were harsh, and his attitude wasn’t great. Don’t take it to heart, just ignore him.”
Song Zhu managed a forced smile, “It’s okay, Doctor Qiao. You don’t need to apologize. It has nothing to do with you.”
He didn’t really care about Lu Lingche’s attitude, but what struck him was when Lu Lingche said that none of Qiao Yin’s blind date choices were good.
Does Qiao Yin have many blind date options?
Could it be, he is the worst among them?
Qiao Yin and Lu Lingche seemed quite close. Even him, a man as aloof and arrogant as Lu Lingche, didn’t get mad when she reproached him.
The meal didn’t taste good anymore, Song Zhu lost interest in discussing the hospital’s operational plan with Qiao Yin.
Qiao Yin felt the same way.
She was afraid that Lu Lingche might come downstairs and create a scene.
If she lost face that’s one thing, but she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself if she implicated Song Zhu as well.
So, she hurriedly ate and said to Song Zhu: “Doctor Song, why don’t we stop here for today, and we’ll discuss the operational plan at the hospital tomorrow?”
“Okay, we’ll continue tomorrow.”
Song Zhu packed up his materials, and they left the dining room together.
A cool sea breeze blew, and Qiao Yin finally relaxed and took a breath of fresh air.
Eating in the same restaurant as Lu Lingche put a lot of pressure on her, which instantly disappeared once she stepped out.
She casually glanced at the second floor of the restaurant, only to find that Lu Lingche was standing in front of the large windows of the private room, looking at her nonchalantly.
Qiao Yin quickly averted her eyes, was about to get in the car, when she heard Song Zhu ask from behind: “Doctor Qiao, that President Lu from Shengling Group, were you two engaged? You seem pretty close.”
Song Zhu knew it was abrupt and inappropriate to ask such a question, but he couldn’t help himself.
The image of Qiao Yin was imprinted in his mind day and night, he was deeply attracted to her, and had every intention to pursue her.
Yet, if his competitor was someone of Lu Lingche’s caliber, he thought it might be wisest to just give up.
Qiao Yin put her bag in the car, turned around to look at Song Zhu, and said earnestly: “I was not engaged to him.”
Just when Song Zhu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her continue, “I was married to him.”
