Not long after Song Xi got out of the car, she received a call from Ge Baitao.
"Xixi, where are you?"
Hearing this, Song Xi's eyes welled up. Suppressing her grievances, she choked out the address.
"I'll be right there!" Ge Baitao, holding her bag, hurried out of the office.
Ten minutes later, a Maybach arrived at the mall.
Ge Baitao took off her sunglasses and scanned the area, finally spotting Song Xi in McDonald's. She was currently looking down, a cup of cola in front of her, her entire demeanor looking very low.
What's wrong, did you fight with Dai Ze?
Ge Baitao frowned and walked over.
Dai Ze was also the kind of person who wouldn't explain when he called her, only telling her to contact Song Xi quickly.
She had been a bit busy lately, partly dealing with the online public opinion surrounding Song Xi previously, and partly because the company was thinking of signing some new artists.
She trusted Dai Ze, which was why she had entrusted Song Xi entirely to him. If she found out that Song Xi had suffered even the slightest bit of injustice under his care, she would definitely not let him off!
"Darling, I'm here."
Ge Baitao sat next to Song Xi and gently embraced her.
She seemed to have lost weight again.
Ge Baitao asked, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better? Why didn't you call me first when you returned? Why are you eating this kind of junk food? Come on, sister will take you for a feast!"
Song Xi looked up. Because she was wearing a mask, only her large eyes were visible, but her eyes were now tinged with a slight redness, as if she had been crying.
Ge Baitao was startled. "What happened! Did Dai Ze make you angry! I'll go find him!"
"No."
Song Xi grasped her sleeve. To avoid worrying Ge Baitao, she forced a smile. "Manager Ge, I want a feast."
Ge Baitao pulled Song Xi up from the chair without another word and declared loudly, "Let's eat!"
When the Maybach stopped in front of the first floor of 6777 North Road, Song Xi was greatly surprised and refused to get out.
"Taozi, let's change the place. This is... too expensive."
It was, as the saying went, one of the top luxury restaurants in City A, requiring reservations a month in advance, with a daily limit on the number of guests. The per-person consumption started at five figures, and a meal would cost at least six figures.
The first time Song Xi heard about it, she thought it was absurd.
Ten thousand for a meal, were they crazy!
But now, Ge Baitao had brought her here.
Ge Baitao opened the car door and reached out to her, "The company's revenue has been considerable recently, all thanks to you, Xixi. Just give me some face, and besides, I have some good news to tell you."
"But..."
"Xixi!"
It seemed she was determined to eat here today.
Song Xi sighed and took her hand as she got out of the car.
Upon entering the restaurant, Song Xi was stunned by the scene before her.
Porcelain oil paintings were everywhere, as if she had stepped into an art exhibition. Walking up the corridor, stars twinkled overhead, making one feel as if they were enveloped in the night sky, so beautiful it was impossible to look away.
The location was excellent, by the glass windows, offering a panoramic view of City A.
Song Xi looked at the expensive delicacies on the menu and finally left the choice to Ge Baitao.
Ge Baitao skillfully finished ordering and said, "How is it, is the environment alright?"
Song Xi nodded and asked, "Don't you need reservations here?"
"A while ago, Grandpa introduced me to a blind date, and we were supposed to meet here. I stood him up, so... it just so happened." She spread her hands playfully, her eyes twinkling with cunning.
So that's how it was, Song Xi smiled. "Who is it this time?"
"You know her, the Ye family—"
"Song Xi!?"
A surprised female voice interrupted Ge Baitao.
Song Xi looked up upon hearing the voice and blinked.
