Chapter 342 - 343: Extensive Connections
"Dongzi, you’re coming out with me without bringing Chairman Miao, could this cause a misunderstanding on his part?"
Ultimately, Su Yao and Song Xiaodong decided to attend the class reunion. However, upon arriving at the hotel’s entrance, Su Yao grew concerned. In her position, the last thing she wanted was rumors about her and Song Xiaodong. If Miao Qingqing got jealous, Su Yao wouldn’t stand a chance in the company. That’s why she had always been strictly professional with Song Xiaodong at work, exceedingly careful so as not to give anyone the opportunity to misunderstand their relationship.
Song Xiaodong chuckled, "It’s okay, we haven’t done anything wrong, and she’s not such a petty person."
Still cautious, Su Yao suggested, "Maybe you should still give Chairman Miao a heads-up. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. People can be two-faced, and who knows what the folks at the company might think if they see us together?"
Seeing Su Yao’s worried expression, Song Xiaodong sent a WeChat message to Song Xiaoru. He wasn’t in the habit of reporting his whereabouts to Miao Qingqing, but he was accustomed to telling his sister.
Upon seeing that Song Xiaodong had sent a message, Su Yao felt relieved, and they went inside together.
"Brother Song!" Just as the two walked in, several people followed them, and one person called out to Song Xiaodong.
When Su Yao glanced at the group, she immediately felt nervous. Except for one in the middle who looked somewhat fair and delicate, the other four exuded a tough bearing, clearly not ordinary folks. They were possibly even gangsters.
This guy was none other than Chen Zixu, certainly not a simple character; a well-known figure in Tiannan City’s underworld. The entourage following him consisted of notorious tough guys, all Chen Zixu’s trusted subordinates.
Song Xiaodong grinned, "Look at you, also here for a meal, huh?"
"Yeah, boss, I see you’ve... heh heh..." Noticing the unfamiliar girl next to Song Xiaodong, Chen Zixu winked at him and said, "Well then, I won’t bother you. I’ll take care of your bill later."
"No need, I’m here with some other friends. You just do your thing," Song Xiaodong replied.
