Chapter 869: Senior, Won’t You Invite Me Up for a Sit?

Two days later, it was the day Tao Min came to Lin’an on a business trip.

After work, Qin Shiqing invited Song Yuwei to have dinner and stroll around.

Su Zelin told her he had something tonight and needed to entertain a friend who was coming from out of town on a business trip.

Qin Shiqing didn’t even ask if this friend was male or female. As long as Zelin said he had something to do, she could understand it. This was another great quality of being the main girlfriend.

In her past life, she was very lenient with him because she knew that a boyfriend was like a wild horse yearning for freedom, not happy to be bound. If you really control him, over time, Zelin would feel lost.

The two girls had just left and Su Zelin followed suit, leaving the company.

At this time, Tao Min’s business duties had ended too. They could have dinner together, and the timing was just right.

Driving to the hotel where the other party was staying, an average hotel in Lin’an, although the environment was acceptable and the building pretty new, it was only two-star. It seemed Tao Min’s company was truly stingy, at least towards employees with low seniority like her, saving wherever they could.

She parked temporarily outside the lobby, and the security guard saw it was an Audi A6, a definite luxury car at this time, signaling affluence, and didn’t dare to chase them away. This is the perk of driving a nice car; you get special treatment in many places.

It didn’t take long for Su Zelin to wait, two minutes later, a graceful figure walked out from the hotel lobby. It was Tao Min.

Compared to last time they met, this Senior Sister hadn’t changed much.

But she was wearing an elegant beige woolen coat, very stylish, even catching extra glances from the security guard.

Tao Min was 166 cm tall, not comparable to Nanaz, but her body proportion was excellent.

This height was considered quite good among women.

Nowadays, adult women barely reaching 150 cm or even shorter were everywhere.

She looked around at the hotel entrance until she saw Zelin getting off the car.

Because the car he drove before wasn’t this one and the windows were tinted dark, she thought it was someone else.

“Yo, President Su, changed to an Audi, huh? Your car-swapping speed is really fast!”

“Ah, can’t help it, work demands it, gotta maintain appearances!”

Su Zelin sighed and opened the passenger door for her.

“You talk as if you don’t enjoy driving the four rings. Even the boss of our unit doesn’t drive as well as you!”

Tao Min teased as she got inside.

The security guard watched this scene, thinking that rich people really are different, even the women they date are prettier and more charming than regular people.

Su Zelin returned to the driver’s seat, started the car and as they drove off, he looked at Tao Min.

“Senior Sister Tao, your coat is truly tasteful! With your good figure, when you walked out of the hotel, I thought you were some celebrity, thought I was mistaken.”

“Hmph, all you do is smooth talk!”

Though saying that, Tao Min enjoyed the attention.

Being noticed by Su Zelin made the pain of buying this branded coat worth it.

“No way, heaven bless me, I’m speaking sincerely here!”

Zelin looked innocent.

“Alright, alright, cut the chatter and focus on driving!”

“Got it!”

On their way to the reserved restaurant, the two chatted and laughed like old friends.

Tao Min felt happy. Somehow, being with Su Zelin always made her feel relaxed and she could joke around freely, even though he was now different from the past, no longer the junior student he once was, now at a much higher level, she still felt no restraint.

Soon they arrived at the destination, and after getting out of the car, Tao Min said apologetically, “Junior Brother, I’m sorry I couldn’t visit Lin’an last time because of your accident!”

Actually, it wasn’t because she didn’t want to come or was too busy; she simply didn’t know about the incident at the time.

After the car accident, Su Zelin hadn’t told anyone about it. Even Qin Shiqing only knew from the hospital’s notification before rushing over.

His colleagues, friends, classmates, and anyone else visiting the hospital only learned about it from others.

Tao Min later heard about it incidentally from a university friend working in Lin’an, and immediately called Su Zelin.

“No big deal, just a minor issue. I didn’t need hospitalization at all, but my family insisted on having me stay for observation. No choice but to stay for a week, it was mind-numbing.”

Su Zelin spoke casually, then with an upbeat tone added, “But if you’re truly sorry, Senior Sister, you should accompany me to a movie after dinner, okay?”

“You really know how to seize opportunities,”

Tao Min was speechless.

Despite becoming a high-ranking executive, he was still the familiar Su Zelin, with the familiar character and way of speaking.

“Alright then!”

In the end, she agreed.

Though a man and a woman going to the movies together was a bit ambiguous,

She took it as compensation for not visiting him in time.

Tao Min convinced herself this way.

Arriving at the restaurant entrance, she realized it was an Anhui North cuisine restaurant, another small surprise for Tao Min.

The Anhui North girl adored her hometown, never tiring of the local dishes.

However, Anhui cuisine wasn’t particularly renowned, unlike Cantonese or Sichuan which are widely popular, and it’s truly rare to find in other cities.

Moreover, Anhui cuisine is subdivided into Anhui South, Yangtze Anhui, Luzhou, Huainan, and Anhui North’s small categories, making it even more difficult to find an Anhui North restaurant.

In Lin’an, there are scarcely any, especially a genuine Anhui North restaurant.

The Anhui North restaurant Su Zelin booked was indeed run by someone from Anhui North, absolutely authentic, even the decor reflected the local styles from Anhui North. Tao Min felt a strong sense of familiarity as soon as she walked in the door.
