Chapter 366: Chapter 366

"Is there someone else?"

At this moment, Li Jing also realized that a few people were waiting for someone, and asked with some curiosity.

"President Li, I’m really sorry, we have one more elder who hasn’t arrived yet, and we’d have to trouble you to wait a bit more."

Chen Wenwu, feeling a bit apologetic, explained, "Elder Shi is quite a renowned person in Hai Province and has helped us juniors before. Although he’s old now and not managing things much, he loves lively events, so we specially invited him this time for the birthday dinner."

It was evident that everyone held Elder Shi in high regard. Since he was an elder, Li Jing didn’t say much more.

Another ten minutes passed, and even Chen Wenwu was feeling a bit restless.

He was mostly worried that Li Jing might be displeased. Although it was Chen Wenwu’s birthday, this meal was also meant to welcome Li Jing.

Just as Chen Wenwu was about to make a phone call, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps and the voice of a waiter leading the way.

Everyone turned their heads toward the private room’s entrance, but walking out from behind the waiter was not an elderly person, but rather a very beautiful young woman. Fınd the newest release on 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙

Li Jing was taken aback.

It wasn’t because of her outstanding looks, but because he had seen this woman before; she was the beauty on the plane with an exceptional waist-to-hip ratio.

She was wearing a form-fitting knit dress, a short black leather jacket, and black over-the-knee boots.

What caught Li Jing’s attention was still her perfect slender waist and full hips.

As Li Jing stared, Shi Yang also noticed him and was surprised. She realized that his gaze was once again inspecting her figure, and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

This man had checked her out at the airport before, and upon this encounter, he was again eyeing her body.

Shi Yang had encountered men looking at her before, but they mostly sneaked glances. Especially when she looked back, they would awkwardly withdraw their gaze.

Only this man was different; he openly assessed her figure without any evasion, as if admiring a piece of artwork.

This type of gaze made Shi Yang, who grew up constantly admired and supported, somewhat uncomfortable.

"Shi Yang? Is your grandfather not coming?"

Sighing with relief upon seeing Shi Yang, Chen Wenwu asked, "Is he occupied?"

"Brother Wenwu, my grandfather hasn’t been feeling well the past few days and couldn’t come, so he sent me on his behalf."

"Elder Shi’s health isn’t good?"

Chen Wenwu and the others looked surprised, and Huang Qin even proactively asked, "How is he? Do you need our help?"

"Sister Qin, no need to trouble yourselves, it’s already taken care of. He just needs some rest for a period."

After Shi Yang explained, everyone nodded, understanding that he needed rest, so they gave up the idea of visiting.

"As long as Elder Shi is fine. Since you’re here, Shi Yang, please take a seat. I’ll have the waiter serve the meal right away."

Seeing everyone had arrived, Chen Wenwu immediately invited everyone to sit down, deliberately seating Li Jing between the two beauties, Shi Yang and Huang Qin.

"President Li, this is Shi Yang, the direct granddaughter of the Elder Shi we talked about, and someone we’ve watched grow up, like a younger sister to us."

Chen Wenwu didn’t forget to introduce them and then turned to Shi Yang, saying, "Shi Yang, this is President Li from Tianhai. Although young, he is already a prominent figure in Tianhai.

You young people should have some topics to talk about. And Shi Yang, don’t you often go to Tianhai? Maybe in the future, you can find President Li there..."

"Thank you for the help on the plane,"

Before Chen Wenwu could finish, Shi Yang already spoke up to Li Jing.

Though Shi Yang was expressing thanks, her tone wasn’t particularly warm. To the benefactor who had saved her grandfather, it was even somewhat indifferent.

Li Jing roughly guessed the reason for her attitude, likely because he had looked at her a few more times.

Some women are like that; though they dress up very elaborately every day, they don’t allow others to look, especially not men.

Ever since obtaining the system, Li Jing’s economic strength improved, his physical fitness enhanced, and more importantly, his horizons and experiences greatly broadened.

Hence, when encountering things he liked, such as beautiful women, he no longer felt embarrassed or sneaked glanced but openly admired them.

Li Jing considered his gaze neither lecherous nor revealing any unbecoming intentions, so he felt looking a few more times wouldn’t hurt.

Of course, he wouldn’t keep staring indefinitely; compared to other men, he just appreciated openly rather than in secret, and would naturally shift his gaze afterward.

Since the other party didn’t show good attitude, Li Jing naturally wouldn’t fawn and merely replied blandly, paying no more heed to her.

This scene appeared especially awkward to Chen Wenwu and two others.

Unable to hold back, Chen Wenwu was the first to inquire, "Shi Yang, did you and President Li know each other previously?"

"We don’t know each other,"

Shi Yang didn’t plan to hide and directly said, "We were on the same flight. At that time, because first class was full, my grandfather and I sat in business class.

But unexpectedly, my grandfather suddenly felt unwell and almost fainted. It was he who helped save him."

"Is there really such a thing?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenwu and the others were greatly surprised.

Huang Qin even laughed, "It seems President Li is really meant to be with us. He hasn’t even arrived in Hai Province yet already helped Elder Shi."

"Indeed, Elder Shi has always been grateful and rewarding. Given the rush of events, the Shi Family might not have managed to get President Li’s contact. This chance meeting is truly fate."
