Chapter 109 Understanding
There was hardly any surprise in the tone of these two sentences. It was obvious that Jiang Xu had indeed heard her and Xie Heng's voices, including her calling him Brother Heng.
She smiled inexplicably and replied: [Yes, Brother Heng helped me a lot, so I'll treat him to a meal as a thank you.]
The other party responded almost instantly.
【JX: Oh.】
【JX: Then when can you consider it and treat me to a meal? 】
This question came too naturally. Jiang Wan blinked, thinking to himself that the number of dinner appointments he owed was increasing, and at the same time, he felt a little guilty.
Recalling the night when she was almost kidnapped by Zhou Chuan in her original rented house, her heart moved slightly, and for a moment, she lowered her eyes.
However, just as she was about to type her answer, Xie Heng's voice suddenly rang in her ears.
The man's smiling eyes were still fixed on her, and his eyes seemed to be several shades deeper.
"How is it, is it who you thought it was?"
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, then quickly curved her lips and said, "Really? Come to think of it... Brother Heng actually knows him too."
"actually"……
Xie Heng's eyes paused slightly, and his mind almost intuitively recalled the abrupt phone call on the night of the annual ceremony.
After a while, his voice suddenly revealed some ambiguous emotions.
"Scold me for rebounding?"
"Or maybe, Jiang Xu?"
Jiang Wan looked slightly surprised and nodded slightly.
The corners of Xie Heng's mouth were still curved, but there was a slight ripple in his eyes.
He lowered his eyes to look at her, and suddenly said, "Who is he with? If he doesn't mind, why don't we get to know each other."
Jiang Wan closed her eyes for a few moments before opening the chat box again.
[Why would I need to consider inviting Brother Xu to dinner? I just felt that you were very busy, so I was embarrassed to bring it up. To show my sincerity, Brother Xu, just tell me when you are free and I will arrange it right away.]
[As for now...you two brothers are both moderators of my live broadcast room, so you are no strangers. Do you want to meet up later? ]
After sending the message, she slid her slender fingers across the phone screen and sent back an emoticon of a rabbit holding its face with eyes full of anticipation.
This time the other party replied a moment later.
[JX: OK, later]
Jiang Wan's eyebrows slightly curved, and she softly relayed Jiang Xu's reply to Xie Heng.
Xie Heng looked at her carefully and raised his lip almost imperceptibly.
"Row."
Just as he finished speaking, the waiter walked in around the screen pushing the food cart.
The dishes were all ordered by Jiang Wan in advance when he made an appointment by phone. They basically conform to conventional tastes, and the presentation is simple yet exquisite, with a flavor that appeals to both the elite and the masses.
Xie Heng seldom paid attention to food, let alone when he was busy, but seeing Jiang Wan quietly tasting the food, he suddenly seemed to have some appetite.
The two of them ate leisurely and naturally chatted from time to time.
Obviously, although they had not spent much time together before, it was enough for Xie Heng to understand Jiang Wan's preferences. Therefore, the topics he brought up seemed casual, but in fact they were gradual and just right.
After a few conversations, Xie Heng asked in a gentle voice, "Students from the Department of Finance at Peking University can apply for internships in advance based on their circumstances. Wanwan, is there any company you want to work for?"
He has guessed that although Jiang Wan is a host now, he will probably delve deeper into the financial field in the future.
In this case, the internship is naturally crucial to her and may directly determine how Jiang Wan will develop in the future.
Jiang Wan was a little surprised that he would ask this. Her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not answer directly. She only spoke softly, "If we just talk about where we want to go without mentioning whether we can go, there are too many choices in a place like Beijing."
Xie Heng suddenly lowered his voice and said gently: "Wanwan, you can consider coming to Rongqi when the time comes."
Jiang Wan was stunned. This was the first time Xie Heng mentioned his company in front of her.
Rongqi Group is certainly the company that many finance students dream of, and it is considered a true Internet giant.
KuMao Live is affiliated to Rongqi Group and was founded by Xie Heng.
However, Rongqi did not officially enter the investment field until two or three years later, and has never participated in the South Line project from the beginning to the end. It is not her best choice at the moment, and the same is true for Shen Yan's Zhihe Technology.
But of course she couldn't reveal these thoughts, she just chuckled and said, "Brother Heng, you're extending this olive branch too early. Aren't you worried that I just have an interest but don't actually have the ability?"
Xie Heng's eyes fell on her quietly, and after a moment he said, "I'm just afraid that someone will be there before me."
His tone was filled with ambiguous emotions, but the curve of his lips made it sound like he was just joking.
Jiang Wan blinked and a beautiful smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Brother Heng is too kind to me."
She quickly changed the subject calmly, and fortunately Xie Heng did not ask any more questions.
When the waiter saw them put down their chopsticks, he brought them a new cup of tea.
Jiang Wan took this opportunity to go to the bathroom.
There are many diners coming to this restaurant, so it is normal to meet other guests while going to the bathroom.
But what concerned Jiang Wan was that as she walked through the corridor, there seemed to be footsteps getting closer and closer to her from behind.
The speed was so fast... that she even had the illusion that the person was coming straight towards her.
However, when she subconsciously prepared to turn around, the man had already strode past her and went straight to the men's restroom.
Jiang Guan raised the corner of his eyes slightly, without paying any more attention, and walked in.
But when she came out of the bathroom again, she stopped suddenly after just a few steps in the corridor.
Just now, out of the corner of my eye... I seemed to have caught a glimpse of a figure.
She frowned and turned around, only to see that the person who had passed by her was now leaning against the windowsill at the end of the corridor, staring at her quietly.
The other person was facing away from the light and at a distance, so I couldn't see his front face, I could only make out the outline of his profile.
This was a very young man, fairly tall, but his skin was pale, almost sickly.
What is most difficult to ignore is that there is a long, winding and glaring scar on his left face, from around his eye to under his ear.
It was this scar that made him look sinister.
Their eyes met for a few seconds, Jiang Wan held his breath, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.
Something flashed through her mind almost quickly, but just when she was about to catch it, the man suddenly turned his back to her.
The light footsteps behind him told Jiang Wan that other guests had arrived.
Jiang Wan stared at the figure for a long while, until a woman passing by gave him a look of surprise and curiosity, then he turned and left.
Her eyes were calm, as if nothing had happened just now, and she did not notice the extremely unwilling look in the man's eyes when he turned around after the corridor was finally empty.

Jiang Wan went all the way back to the private room.
Just as she pushed open the solid wooden screen door, she paused again.
The atmosphere was a bit weird, and the two men sitting opposite each other looked at each other almost at the same time.
