Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

Upon being stepped on, Lu Hao immediately released the woman, clutching his foot and hopping on one leg twice.

By the time he recovered, the woman was already far away.

However, they didn't go inside the building, but rather outside.

Lu Hao jogged to catch up with the woman, standing shoulder to shoulder. He nudged her gently with his shoulder and said with a grin, "I really forgot about that, but if you tell me now, I promise I'll remember it from now on."

The man completely ignored Lu Hao, walking on his own without even blinking.

"Just pretend I have dementia, amnesia, okay?"

"I don't want to talk to sick people."

Lu Hao was completely out of options. If he didn't need this woman's help, he would have turned around and left immediately.

Being pretty is nothing special; there are plenty of pretty women in the world.

But now, for Lin Ran's sake and for that planning proposal, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

No matter what Lu Hao said, the woman remained unmoved, walking slowly and steadily to the road and crossing the street along the pedestrian crossing.

"I'm telling you, you really don't give me any chance at all?" Lu Hao was completely enraged. He reached out and grabbed the woman's arm, turning her body so she was facing him.

"I want to eat at this restaurant." The woman's eyes were calm as she pointed to the restaurant next door.

Lu Hao turned his head and looked at the gilded signboard of the shop, and he immediately felt something was wrong.

Although he received his salary, last month he only received his base salary of six thousand, without any commission. He returned one thousand to Zhou Mengmeng, and transferred another two thousand to the recipients of his financial aid. Adding the six hundred left over from last month, he now only has a little over three thousand six hundred.

But since the woman had spoken, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward.

As he led the woman inside, Lu Hao discovered that there was no main hall; instead, it consisted entirely of private rooms, which made him even more unsure of himself.

Although he lacked confidence, Lu Hao didn't show it. Instead, he acted like a tycoon and asked the waiter for a small private room.

Upon arriving on the second floor, we found a private room by the window.

The waiter placed the menu on the table.

Lu Hao picked up the menu first, wanting to see the prices so he could have a better idea of ​​what was going on.

The cheapest Qinglong Lying in Snow is 68 yuan per serving.

Lu Hao knew what this was; it was cucumber salad.

He had a premonition that he was going to have a major hemorrhage today.

We're going all in; you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

Lu Hao handed the menu to the woman, his tone quite casual, "Order whatever you like, don't be shy."

The woman calmly took the menu, opened it, and ordered four dishes.

Lu Hao breathed a sigh of relief. This woman was quite sensible; there were only four dishes, so it shouldn't be too expensive.

After the waiter left, the woman said in a calm tone, "Speak, what do you need from me?"

"You're acting like I can't simply invite you to dinner," Lu Hao said, rubbing his nose without changing his expression.

Although he had come with a purpose, he couldn't directly state his position. Otherwise, Lu Hao didn't believe he had the ability to get her help based on just a meal.

Therefore, Lu Hao plans to play the emotional card, to bring the two sides closer, and to appeal to their feelings and reason with them, which is much more reliable than simply relying on the friendship of having a meal together.

"If you don't tell me now, I won't agree to anything you say later." The woman crossed her arms and stared coldly at Lu Hao.

"Would you agree if I asked now?" Lu Hao muttered to himself.

"It depends on my mood," the woman heard Lu Hao mutter.

Lu Hao pursed his lips and changed the subject, "Why haven't I seen you at the bar these past few days?"

"So you came to wait for me downstairs at my company?"

"Your company?" Lu Hao's eyes lit up. "You're the boss?"

The woman didn't answer the question, but just stared at Lu Hao, as if asking, "Want to sleep with me?"

"Can you please stop saying 'sleep, sleep, sleep' all the time?" Lu Hao said, speechless.

I finally managed to be serious for once, why doesn't this woman believe me?

"Don't you want to?"

"think!"

Lu Hao didn't hesitate at all, but added, "But not now. I really just want to treat you to a meal today."

"To get closer, so you can sleep with me later?"

Lu Hao shut his mouth; he felt this woman was getting a little stuck on one point.

The two remained silent for a long time until the door to the private room opened and a waiter carried in a plate of food.

Lu Hao's eyes widened like saucers.

The word "carry" is not an exaggeration at all.

A huge plate filled with crushed ice, covered with a thin layer of meat slices, and in the center a lifelike lobster head.

Lu Hao swallowed hard, his throat bobbing.

He had an urge to run away.

He didn't know what kind of lobster it was, but it was so big, it must be an Australian lobster.

This one dish alone probably costs several thousand.

Before Lu Hao could even express his surprise, three waiters followed him in, bringing two plates of steak, a plate of vegetable salad, and two bowls of soup.

After the waiter left, Lu Hao finally turned his gaze to the woman, suppressing his anger as he asked, "Are you treating me like a pig to be slaughtered?"

"Can't afford it?" The woman sneered.

"Heh... Do you know how much these cost?" Lu Hao was genuinely angry; he hadn't expected the woman to treat him like a sucker.

The woman ignored Lu Hao's anger and pointed to the food on the table, "Australian lobster sashimi is only 1288 per catty, and this one is a little over three catties. This M9 snowflake steak next to it is only 888 per serving. The soup next to it is abalone soup, 388 per person."

Lu Hao's eyelashes trembled, and his heart sank. He couldn't even afford four dishes with his monthly salary.

"So, your offer to treat us was just a polite formality?" The woman looked at Lu Hao with a half-smile.

"I..." Lu Hao opened his mouth, his face extremely pale. He felt uneasy under the woman's gaze, and got up to make an excuse, "I need to go to the restroom."

The woman remained silent, letting Lu Hao leave the private room.

Upon arriving at the bathroom, Lu Hao braced himself against the sink, turned on the tap, cupped his hands to apply water to his face, and then rubbed it heavily.

If this meal can be arranged, he can grit his teeth and accept it.

After all, by making Lin Ran the manager, he could not only repay her for taking care of him over the past two years, but also make his life more comfortable in the company in the future.

No matter how you look at it, it's worth it.

But Lu Hao is unsure whether this woman will help him, and that's the key point.

Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.

Lu Hao's eyes hardened, and he took out his phone to borrow money, as he didn't have enough money in his pocket to pay the bill.

His gaze lingered on Qin Shou's name in the memo, and after much hesitation, he still didn't press the dial button.

In the end, Lu Hao still called Zhou Mengmeng, but he only managed to borrow two thousand yuan. Combined with his own three thousand yuan, it probably wouldn't be enough.

Lu Hao thought for a while and finally called Li Xu, wanting to borrow two thousand, but Li Xu could only come up with one thousand.

"That should be enough." Lu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, his confidence returning.

He never considered asking Lin Ran for money, because his main goal was to help Lin Ran, and asking her for money would be a waste of his help.

Lu Hao patted his face, dried the water, and then returned to the private room.

Inside the private room, the woman had already started eating.

She turned to look at Lu Hao, chuckled, and pointed to a small dish of wasabi soy sauce on the table. "Didn't you want to know my name? Here, drink this and I'll tell you."
