Chapter 315 Tang Shao's Invitation
Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Qiao Luo was taken aback, then told Bai Ge to answer the call first.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Qiao?"
A woman's voice came from the other end.
Qiao Luo nodded, "Yes, that's me. May I ask who you are...?"
"I am Mr. Tang's secretary. Mr. Tang would like to invite Miss Qiao to dinner and discuss cooperation with your company. I wonder if Miss Qiao has the time?"
After hearing the other person introduce themselves, Qiao Luo still felt somewhat unfamiliar with them.
She didn't seem to know anyone named Tang Shao.
Of course, it's also possible that she's seen her before but doesn't remember.
But since the other party said they wanted to discuss business, she agreed.
So, after ending the call, she said to Bai Ge, "Bai Ge, come with me tonight."
After all, Bai Ge is now her assistant, so it's normal for them to discuss business together.
Bai Ge naturally had no objections.
"Then just now..."
"Oh, it's like this. Editor-in-Chief Tang has taken on a lot of work before, and after thinking about it, I still feel that we need to screen some of it."
After all, quality is more important than quantity in business.
Sometimes, unsuitable business not only fails to generate revenue but also damages the magazine's reputation.
"Distribute these out and let everyone do a preliminary assessment first."
"it is good."
Bai Ge nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned back to say, "By the way, Mr. Zhou from Zhongtian Technology called you before, saying he wanted to meet with you to discuss the next collaboration and asked when you would be available."
Zhongtian Technology?
Zhou Bin?
Qiao Luo thought for a moment and said, "I'll see. I'll try to meet with him in the next day or two."
She also happened to have something she wanted to ask Zhou Bin.
Bai Ge agreed and turned to leave.
That evening, Qiao Luo took Bai Ge to the place they had agreed upon.
A very stylish Chinese restaurant.
When Qiao Luo and Bai Ge arrived, the other party was already there. Qiao Luo was slightly taken aback when she saw the person sitting in the seat.
Isn't this Mr. Tang, the one who paid for the dinner party he was invited to last time?
No wonder that title sounded familiar to her; it turned out to be him.
Just as she was thinking, Tang Shaoyu saw her and quickly got up to greet her.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Logically, he should address her as "sister-in-law," but Lu Tingnian wouldn't allow it.
Qiao Luo, feeling obliged to respond to such enthusiasm, quickly replied, "Mr. Tang, it's been a long time."
At this moment, Tang Shaoyu noticed Bai Ge next to Qiao Luo. Seeing that the other party was somewhat unfamiliar, he took another look.
Qiao Luo quickly introduced, "This is my assistant and partner. Mr. Tang shouldn't mind, right?"
"Of course, please take your seats."
Tang Shaoyu was certainly not that petty.
Qiao Luo and Bai Ge then sat down in their seats.
Then, Tang Shaoyu warmly greeted the two and helped them order food.
"What would you two like to eat? Order whatever you like, it's on me tonight."
Tang Shaoyu appeared to be a very generous and forthright person.
Qiao Luo and Bai Ge are not the type of people who like to rip people off, although it's obvious that Tang Shaoyu is a rich young master.
"Mr. Tang, please order some. We're not picky eaters."
Qiao Luo said.
Bai Ge nodded in agreement.
Tang Shaoyu did not refuse any longer and asked the staff to serve the restaurant's best dishes.
While waiting for the food, Qiao Luo asked Tang Shaoyu about the cooperation he had mentioned earlier. Tang Shaoyu hesitated and couldn't explain it clearly, since he had never actually participated in any business negotiations.
Just then, all the dishes were served, and Tang Shaoyu quickly changed the subject, saying, "Why don't you two eat first? We can chat while we eat."
Hearing him say that, Qiao Luo and Bai Ge didn't continue.
Bai Ge, however, saw through Tang Shaoyu's ulterior motives. As for what they were, she wasn't sure. But while Tang Shaoyu got up to go to the restroom, she reminded Qiao Luo, "I don't think this Mr. Tang is here to talk to us about work. How about this, I'll make an excuse to leave for a while and see what his intentions are."
Qiao Luo also noticed the issue Bai Ge raised, and she nodded in agreement.
A while later, when Tang Shaoyu returned from the restroom, Bai Ge made an excuse to make a phone call and left.
Sure enough, Tang Shaoyu revealed his true purpose only after Bai Ge left.
"Actually, the reason I asked you out tonight is because there's something I want to ask you."
Tang Shaoyu hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
Although Qiao Luo was already prepared, she was still taken aback by his tone, which sounded like he wanted to discuss personal matters.
"What would you like to ask, Mr. Tang?"
She stopped everything and focused intently on the other person.
Tang Shaoyu was stumped by her question. The question he wanted to ask was simple, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.
After all, it's a matter between the couple, and no matter how close he is to Lu Tingnian, it's not appropriate for him to interfere.
But as his brother, he couldn't bear to see Lu Tingnian troubled by this.
Thinking this, Tang Shaoyu felt conflicted and suddenly realized that his decision to ask Qiao Luo out tonight had been somewhat impulsive.
Just as she was fretting, Qiao Luo spoke up: "Mr. Tang?"
