CHAPTER 1617: CHAPTER 1086: STARTING TO GET DRAMATIC

"You picked this place?"

Of course, Boss Jiang had come.

Tong Dan’s meals weren’t easily freeloaded, so missing this chance might mean missing this restaurant.

Of course not.

Although the host wasn’t Tong Dan herself, there’s not much difference with her blind date.

"No, it’s not me treating. He chose the spot. He often comes to Tokyo for business trips and said the Sukiyaki here is superb."

Tong Dan explained.

She arrived with two guests, and naturally, she was also a guest, but the host hadn’t arrived yet.

It seemed in several meets, she was always the first to arrive.

If it were a little fairy, she’d surely feel dissatisfied, possibly critiquing the other person’s character, but Tong Dan seemed unbothered.

"I don’t know about ’superb’ taste, but the prices on this menu do look ’beautiful’."

Jiang Chen looked up, "Didn’t your blind date almost lose his job?"

"Boss Jiang, no need for your kindness. Just eat well today. Even if he’s unemployed, he can still afford a meal."

Only then did Jiang Chen seem reassured, "With you saying that, I’ll order then."

Tong Dan gave a helpless smile, knowing full well he’s teasing her, "Go ahead, you definitely won’t be stuck washing dishes."

Jiang Chen then ordered with the waitress, aware of the freeloading spirit, not using the opportunity to play the victim, but discussed actively with Fang Qing, only to end up ordering some standard dishes.

"You’re not usually so shy."

In the end, it was Tong Dan who noticed his "restraint" and appropriately added some "hearty" dishes, enough for four people without being extravagant.

In such gatherings, it’s inappropriate to deliberately take advantage when invited, but being overly thrifty isn’t a good thing either.

"Did you inform him beforehand? Otherwise, if he’s unprepared and sees an extra person when he arrives, it might not be nice."

Boss Jiang was exceptionally courteous today.

The almost visible change was noticeable to everyone, and Tong Dan immediately said: "Were you possessed by some sorcery?"

Indeed.

Getting entangled with martial arts novels.

Gratitude aside, their mutual teasing was a habitual instinct developed over the years, not something easily changed.

"I’m worried about affecting your image. Today, Fang Qing and I represent not ourselves, but your circle of friends."

Jiang Chen argued logically.

"No, definitely not. I appreciate your goodwill, but it’s unnecessary."

Tong Dan said: "Just be your true self."

"What if it ruins your happiness? I can’t bear that responsibility."

It’s always like this. When both of them are present, Fang Qing hardly needs to speak.

"What nonsense happiness, it’s just a meal. And even if I never get married, Boss Jiang, rest assured, I can join Emei and become a nun, won’t blame you."

Jiang Chen surely didn’t understand this. Only Fang Qing probably did, giving a helpless, faint smile.

"Being a nun, don’t ever entertain that thought. The country now advocates three children. You, an outstanding woman, becoming a nun is a severe waste of great resources and a disgraceful betrayal of the nation."

Tong Dan widened her eyes, further realizing the other’s eloquence.

Her personal affairs could elevate to a societal and national level?

But Tong the Beauty, having sparred with Boss Jiang for years, naturally wasn’t far behind, quickly retorted: "What about you? How many babies do you plan to have to repay the country? Greater ability means greater responsibility. At least a football team, right?"

Jiang Chen was embarrassed, defending: "A bit exaggerated."

"Exaggerated how? I’ve seen wealthy people gather the twelve zodiac signs."

"When is he arriving?"

Jiang Chen didn’t continue the banter, changed the subject.

Tong Dan also let it be, not going deeper, as pursuing the topic further would be difficult for a certain someone.

Of course, Tong the Beauty was grateful.

Can’t trouble the benefactor.

"I messaged him when he left the company."

"Working there for so long, is he really willing to accept being kicked out like that?"

Jiang Chen chatted idly.

"Unwilling. But what can be done? An arm can’t twist a thigh. Can ordinary people fight corporate groups?"

Tong Dan calmly said: "He said his supervisor would negotiate on behalf of all Shenzhou employees with Dongyue Chemical, and any compensation would be appreciated."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Hmm, Dongyue Chemical is a multinational company, its overseas operations spread beyond Shenzhou. Even if they abandon the Divine Land Market, they still need to consider their international image, otherwise, what would employees in other countries think? As long as your blind date insists on defending his legal rights, Dongyue Chemical should make appropriate compensation."

Tong Dan pondered her semi-permanent eyebrows.

Jiang Chen’s views were different from Fang Qing’s.

After all, different positions mean different perspectives.

"Boss Jiang, you’re still the best. Hmm, we must have a good talk with him later, can’t let them off cheap."

"You have the potential of a virtuous wife and good mother." Jiang Chen nodded affirmatively.

"Oh, stop it."

Tong Dan immediately rolled her eyes.

"He’s here."

Fang Qing looked at the restaurant entrance.

Jiang Chen looked towards, "Hmm, good image, quite matching with you."

Tong Dan ignored him and waved her hand to signal.

"Here."

Pan Yang smiled and walked over quickly.

"This is Jiang Chen, my high school classmate, and Mr. Fang’s childhood friend."

As Tong Dan introduced, both Jiang Chen and Fang Qing stood up, unrelated to their identity, but because of personal courtesy.
