CapĂtulo 1635: Chapter 1584: Taking Advantage, Part 4
Song Xiaodong shook hands with Shen Yuan again.
Zheng Qing then said to Qiao Yutong: âYutong, I really didnât expect that you already have a boyfriend?â
Qiao Yutong immediately said: âThis is not my boyfriend, just an ordinary friend.â
Zheng Qingâs eyes lit up. With Qiao Yutong rushing to clarify like that, her relationship with Song Xiaodong definitely isnât a real couple, otherwise why would she be so anxious to explain.
Additionally, what made Zheng Qing overthink was that Qiao Yutong might have explained like this precisely because of his presence, doesnât that imply Qiao Yutong has some feelings for him?
âHahaâŠâ Zheng Qing first laughed a bit and then said: âOriginally, I thought you two were a couple and would just greet and leave, but since youâre just ordinary friends, why not sit at the same table? We havenât seen each other for so many years, I really want to chat with you.â
Although it was a meeting of old classmates, Qiao Yutong wasnât particularly thrilled. Her relationship with Zheng Qing was actually quite ordinary, Zheng Qingâs family conditions were good, so back in school days, he was quite proud, with an air of superiority, he pursued Qiao Yutong in high school, but she never paid attention to him.
However, since he said so much, if she didnât agree now, it would seem inappropriate, so she could only force a smile and say: âThen letâs sit together, Iâll treat you.â
âYutong, listen to your words, how can I let you treat me? Let me treat you instead, waiter!â
Zheng Qing threw out an English phrase, summoned the waiter, then glanced at the table and said: âYouâre eating way too simply, this place is an authentic French restaurant, you have to specifically try some authentic French dishes here, the most genuine French dishes are caviar and foie gras, snails, each person must have a portion.â
Song Xiaodong and Qiao Yutong came here for the ambiance, not specifically for any particular dish, in the Su Family, there isnât anything Song Xiaodong canât eat, so when ordering, she just casually picked some steak etc.
To Zheng Qing, their casualness signaled poor conditions, and he instantly started flaunting.
Qiao Yutong immediately said: âThereâs no need to spend lavishly, letâs just eat something simple.â
Zheng Qing said: âSpend what? Rarely meeting after all these years, Iâm truly excited, treating you to some gourmet meals is only right.â
Qiao Yutong glanced at Song Xiaodong, who smiled: âItâs rare for old classmates to meet, letâs eat together.â
If someone wants to treat, then let them, Song Xiaodong wouldnât be displeased, especially for Qiao Yutongâs sake.
Song Xiaodong and Qiao Yutong originally sat across from each other, making conversation easier, but Zheng Qing wanted to sit right beside Qiao Yutong, as Song Xiaodong seemed to want to come over, Qiao Yutong immediately signaled him with her eyes to stop.
Zheng Qing sat down and smiled, saying: âYutong, after so many years, I havenât kept in touch with old classmates, I donât know how youâre doing, what are you working in now?â
Qiao Yutong said: âI work at the Public Security Bureau.â She wasnât someone who liked to show off, so she didnât want to mention that sheâs already a deputy director in a sub-bureau.
âOh, you became a police officer, that seems like itâs been your dream all along, it really came true, congratulations! But being a police officer is quite tough, oh right, I also work in Minghe now, recently Iâve met several leaders from the city bureau, we have good relations, if you need any transfer or something, I can help connect you, and when you get a promotion, I can speak up for you.â
Although Zheng Qing wasnât saying it overtly, his expression was full of strong self-confidence.
