Chapter 868: Tao Min Is Coming to Lin’an (4)

Because Su Zelin is an executive at New Era, Tao Min also pays attention to the happenings of this company. Besides, with so many big moves recently, anyone who pays any attention to the news would have heard about these things.

“You’ve come all the way from Shenghai, senior. No matter how busy I am, I’ve got to make time. But is it okay to meet in the evening? We can have dinner together, watch a movie afterward, and then have a little chat at your hotel about life and the future. How does that plan sound to you?”

“You’re dreaming. I came here with another female colleague, and the company only reimburses a double room!”

“Gosh, your company is so stingy. Having to share a room with a colleague for business trips, what crappy treatment! Come to our New Era, we definitely won’t make you share a room with a colleague on trips. Plus, if you’re on a business trip with me, you’ll enjoy a more luxurious hotel stay!”

“Meaning to piggyback on President Su’s status to stay in the same executive room, huh? Dream on!”

“I didn’t mean that, senior. You’re the one who suggested it, but that option is definitely on the table!”

“…”

After reconnecting with Tao Min, their casual chats on QQ had the same flavor as before. Out of habit, he occasionally flirted with her, but it was mostly just joking around.

Tao Min was unlike Nanaz, Song Yuwei, and Huang Panpan. She was an independent woman with a strong sense of self-respect. Being a lover like that wasn’t her thing, and he didn’t push it. So a little online flirting was okay, but it couldn’t be taken too seriously.

After chatting for a few minutes and scheduling a meeting, the conversation ended.

Evening, Shenghai.

Tao Min returned to her rented apartment, holding a bag containing a newly bought women’s jacket.

“Yo, Minmin, bought new clothes, did you? Let me see how it looks!”

Her roommate, Gan Ting, snatched the bag, glanced at the tag, and exclaimed, “Wow, it’s a big brand!”

Suddenly remembering something, she covered her mouth, laughing, “Almost forgot, someone’s heading to Lin’an the day after tomorrow for a business trip. Seems like you’ve got a date with Mr. Perfect, that’s why you’re splurging!”

“What are you talking about? That’s not true!”

Tao Min’s face betrayed her as Gan Ting hit the mark, and she hurriedly denied it.

Gan Ting scoffed, “Oh, come on. If you haven’t arranged to meet Mr. Perfect, I’ll write my name backward!”

She knew her roommate well; Tao Min usually didn’t care about brands, but today she went on a shopping spree, buying an expensive jacket just before her Lin’an trip. Claiming it had nothing to do with the junior who visited last time would be absurd.

“Alright, I did arrange to meet him!”

Seeing that she couldn’t hide it from Gan Ting, Tao Min had to admit it.

“But we’re just meeting casually for a meal.”

“Then watching a movie together, and chatting about life and the future at the hotel, right?”

“It’s not as sleazy as you think. Our relationship is pure, okay? Besides, I’m going with Gao Pei. The company only reimburses a double room for us rookies, you know that!”

“That’s simple, your Mr. Perfect is generous. Just book another room, hehe.”

“What are you thinking, you pervy woman!”

“…”

The two women joked and played around for a while. Tao Min took her new jacket to her room to try it on, seeing which pants and sweater would look good.

Obviously, she was quite serious and looking forward to this trip to Lin’an, hence the meticulous attention.

Gan Ting shook her head; her roommate talked about not rushing into things, yet her actions said otherwise!
