Zhao Xin was the number one beauty in Shanghai Station, and there were many people who had designs on her. If it wasn't for Gu Jianming's protection, she wouldn't have been able to keep herself clean in the big dye vat of the military commander.
Therefore, she was very grateful for Gu Jianming's protection and guidance.
In order to help Gu Jianming get through this crisis safely, she had put down her pride and invited Liang Xiao. Who knew that this person would not give her face at all, causing her to be unable to get off the stage for a moment.
Zhao Xin hesitated for a while, but she didn't leave in anger. In order to help Gu Jianming win Liang Xiao over, she could only smile and say,""Officer Liang, your memory is really bad. Last night, you said that we were going to have dinner together.”
"Is that so? Did I say that we'll eat together?”Liang Xiao pretended to recall.
Zhao Xin was furious when she saw him like that. She was the number one beauty in Shanghai. Usually, many people did not even have the chance to treat her to a meal. Liang Xiao had actually forgotten about their agreement.
"Since Officer Liang can't remember, then forget it.”Zhao Xin said angrily.
Liang Xiao frowned slightly." I think so. How about this? I'll treat Leader Zhao to a meal."”
With Zhao Xin's pride and self-esteem, she would have turned around and left under normal circumstances. However, she had a favor to ask of Liang Xiao, so she could only put down her pride and self-esteem.
"Officer Liang, what's the big meal?" Zhao Xin asked casually. Actually, she didn't care about what she ate. What was important was to use the opportunity to improve her relationship with Liang Xiao and pull him to Gu Jianming's side.
"Get in the car. You'll know when you get there.”Liang Xiao said as he opened the car door and got in.
Zhao Xin stomped her feet in anger. This man was not gentlemanly at all.
She sulked and walked to the front passenger seat. She opened the car door and got in. The car started and left the Shanghai station.
As soon as the car drove out of Shanghai Station, the office building was filled with rumors.
Gu Jianming was the one who started this rumor. He stood in front of the window and watched as Zhao Xin got into Liang Xiao's car. Then, he watched as the car exited the door. He felt as if there was a huge rock in front of his chest, making him unable to breathe.
Gu Jianming was indebted to the Zhao family, so he took extra care of Zhao Xin. He used his special privileges to promote a woman who had only been in the industry for three years to captain and team leader. Even a student of the emperor who graduated from Huangpu Military Academy would not be promoted as fast as Zhao Xin.
Of course, there was also a personal reason for him to take such good care of Zhao Xin. It was because Zhao Xin was so beautiful and moving. He also had some ulterior motives in his heart. However, this ulterior motive could not be too obvious. Firstly, he was a man with a family. Secondly, he did not want to create some scandals that would make the higher-ups unhappy with him. Therefore, he had always suppressed his intentions towards Zhao Xin in his heart and never showed it.
Just now, when he saw Liang Xiao bring Zhao Xin out, his heart twitched in pain.
He knew that Zhao Xin was trying to rope Liang Xiao in, but he still felt extremely uncomfortable.
Zhenjiang Road, Fuding Noodle Restaurant.
This was an authentic Jiangnan noodle restaurant. Its signature noodle dish was vegetable and egg noodles.
The business of the noodle shop was very prosperous. After six in the afternoon, it was almost full of people.
Most of the people who came here to eat were ordinary people.
A man and a woman were sitting at a table near the window in the lobby. The man was 21 or 22 years old and wore a black tunic suit. He had a calm temperament and was handsome. The woman was wearing a female military uniform and was beautiful.
This man and woman were out of place with the other customers of the noodle shop. The main reason was that this man and woman had a good temperament. One look and one could tell that they were elites of the upper class, not on the same level as the ordinary people of the lower class.
Interestingly, there was only a bowl of vegetable and egg noodles in front of the man and woman. The man was eating with relish, while the woman's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and her eyes flickered with helplessness.
The man and woman were Liang Xiao and Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin would never have thought that Liang Xiao's so-called feast would be vegetable and egg noodles.
If she had known that this guy would treat her to this, she would have treated him to a meal.
"Team Leader Zhao, are you really not going to eat?" Liang Xiao asked as he took a mouthful of noodles.
"I don't want to eat." Zhao Xin shook her head.
"It's good that you don't eat it. You can also save money on a bowl of noodles.”Liang Xiao muttered.
After Zhao Xin heard this, she secretly cursed Liang Xiao for being stingy. He cared so much about the money for a bowl of noodles.
The entire bowl of vegetable and egg noodles went into Liang Xiao's stomach. He took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and said,""Let's go, Team Leader Zhao. I'll send you back.”
Zhao Xin's expression turned extremely ugly when she heard that. This guy said he would treat her to a meal, but he ended up eating a bowl of noodles himself.
Liang Xiao didn't think that this was a bad thing at all. In this era, countless people were homeless and had no food to eat or clothes to cover their bodies. A bowl of vegetables and eggs was equivalent to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast to them.
Compared to those commoners who had no hope in life, his life was much happier.
The two of them returned to the car.
Liang Xiao asked for Zhao Xin's address and drove her home.
Zhao Xin's family was a businessman. Although they could not compare to the rich people in the ten miles market, they were still a scholarly family and a prestigious family. Her house was located on the east side of the Bund. It was a large house with a Zhao Mansion plaque hanging high in front of the door.
"We're here." Liang Xiao parked the car at the entrance.
Zhao Xin was about to get out of the car when she suddenly remembered that it would be rude to just leave like that. She chuckled and said,"Officer Liang, why don't you come in and take a seat for a while?”
"Sure,"
To Zhao Xin's surprise, Liang Xiao actually agreed to her invitation.
She was stunned and did not know what to do.
Liang Xiao got out of the car and locked the door. Seeing that Zhao Xin was in a daze, he said,"Let's go."
"Alright." Zhao Xin nodded lightly.
The two of them walked into the Zhao Manor together.
A middle-aged man walked over. Judging from his attire, he should be a servant of the Zhao family.
"Miss is back." The middle-aged man greeted.
Zhao Xin nodded and asked,"Uncle Blessing, are my parents home?"
"Yes, Master and Madam are meeting with distinguished guests.”Uncle Blessing smiled.
"Honored guest?" Zhao Xin's beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed. The so-called honored guests, could it be that they were those who came to propose marriage again?
"This distinguished guest is not ordinary. I heard from the old master that he is Third Master Du's favorite disciple."”
Hearing the name Third Master Du, Zhao Xin's eyes flashed with a trace of helplessness. In Shanghai, there was a saying that it was better to provoke the King of Hell than Third Master Du.
Suddenly, Zhao Xin's eyes flashed with a hint of slyness. She said,"This is Officer Liang, the highest-ranking officer of the Military Intelligence Department stationed in Shanghai.”
Uncle Blessing was an honest man. When he heard that it was some high-ranking officer, he hurriedly said,"Hello, Officer Liang."
Liang Xiao replied indifferently.
"Uncle Fu, you can go ahead. I'll take Officer Liang back to his room.”Zhao Xin said deliberately.
Uncle Blessing was anxious when he heard that Miss was going to bring this officer to his room. The Zhao family was a scholarly family and valued reputation the most. Miss was an unmarried woman. How could she bring a strange man back to her room? If Old Master knew about this, he would be furious.
"Let's go to my room. "Zhao Xin smiled at Liang Xiao.
The latter nodded slightly and followed her.
The Zhao Family was very large. The front yard was a large courtyard with four entrances and four exits. In the middle was a two-story red building. Zhao Xin lived in a room near the red building.
