Chapter 1901: Chapter 4: Feint to the East and Attack to the West
What a coincidence.
Unexpectedly, I ran into her while having a meal.
He walked over and greeted Huo Bei, "Huo Bei, having a meal?"
Hearing Dong Dui’s voice, he looked up at Jin Bo, "Yes, Dong Dui."
Jin Bo, "We’re not in the military anymore, that was so many years ago, don’t call me Dong Dui in the future."
Huo Bei, "Yes, Mayor Jin."
Mayor!
Isn’t he the scoundrel who forcibly kissed her? And the bastard who revoked her press card, causing her to have no income for half a year?
Jin Bo noticed Yan Xiaoxi’s unfriendly expression towards him, furrowing his brows.
It was just a kiss, is it that big of a deal?
That expression, you’d think he did something terrible to her.
Huo Bei, "Mayor Jin also out for lunch?"
Jin Bo, "Yes."
Huo Bei, "How about joining us? We just ordered, and the food hasn’t been served yet."
Yan Xiaoxi was about to decline, but Jin Bo had already taken off his suit and draped it over the chair, "Sure, let’s eat together."
He looked at the waiter, "Bring the menu over."
The waiter, startled, approached with the menu, offering it with both hands, and reported the dishes Huo Bei and Yan Xiaoxi had ordered.
Ji Bo listened, casually flipping through the menu with his long fingers.
After a while, he looked at the waiter, "One fruit salad, one rose-infused soup, three Buddha Leaps, one Australian lobster, one crab, ..."
Huo Bei, "..."
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
Truly a big spender.
Jin Bo took a look, considering the amount on his card, "Alright, that’s it."
He handed the menu back to the waiter and looked at Huo Bei and Yan Xiaoxi, "I’ll treat you guys."
Huo Bei, "How could we possibly accept that?"
Jin Bo, "It’s nothing, my brother’s been exploiting you, consider this a treat from me on his behalf."
Huo Bei, "..."
Why does this not bode well!
I’ve never seen Mayor Jin so generous before.
Jin Bo sat there, touching his hearing aid, adjusting it slightly.
Yan Xiaoxi said nothing, but her breathing could be heard clearly.
It’s been a long time since he heard human voices; any sound is alluring to him, especially a woman’s.
He glanced nonchalantly at Yan Xiaoxi and then looked at Huo Bei, "Girlfriend?"
Huo Bei, "..."
His sister was so beautiful, he’d seen her many times, right? How did Dong Dui completely ignore her?
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
Was she that invisible?
Plus, he had kissed her!
Huo Bei looked at Jin Bo, "My sister."
Jin Bo took a sip of water, then glanced at Jin Bo again, "Now that you mention it, she looks a bit familiar. Wasn’t she a bridesmaid at Qin’s wedding last time?"
Huo Bei, "Yes."
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
Is that all?
What a jerk!
Jin Bo looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "Hello, I’m Jin Bo, Mayor of Hong Kong."
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
Since he greeted her, she couldn’t just ignore him, could she?
But she felt terribly frustrated inside!
Nevertheless, she responded with a gentle smile, "Hello, Mayor Jin, I’m Yan Xiaoxi, a journalist with Gangdu Media."
Jin Bo nodded, journalist?
Although he’s never liked journalists, however—
He nodded, "It’s quite tough for a woman in journalism, isn’t it?"
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
She recalled the mayor’s press conference where she had to struggle in the crowd of reporters, finally getting to the front, but before she could finish her question, she was abruptly interrupted by the mayor approaching her.
To this day, she clearly remembers the question she asked, "Mayor Jin, you’re so handsome; once the press conference is broadcasted, you might become the next eligible bachelor. What do you think?"
