400: Cai Chenghan is in the private room next door

Xiao Accountant Hongmei's words made Xiang Guangming burst out laughing: "Accounting Hongmei's description is too vivid, haha. Anyone who has eaten the spicy rabbit head from our Shancheng Restaurant licks their fingers clean."

"Okay, I'll try that dish later. Are there any other dishes you recommend?" Liu Xiaolin continued to ask.

"Yes, there's the Pork Knuckle and Soybean Soup. The broth is so fresh and delicious, it's good enough to make you swallow your tongue," Xiao Hongmei said, smacking her lips as if she were already drinking the soup.

"Hongmei, with your introduction, I don't think anyone would dare to eat there. Not only do you lick your fingers, but you also lose your tongue, haha," Xiang Guangming was amused again.

"That's called an exaggerated metaphor. Anyway, it just means our specialty dishes are very delicious," Xiao Hongmei said, a little embarrassed.

"I understand Xiao Accountant's meaning. As soon as she said it, I wanted to eat it," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile, helping Xiao Hongmei out of her predicament.

"Later, let Hongmei order the dishes. She's the best at eating," Han Xiaoguo said with a smile.

"I had the same thought. Our opinions coincide," Liu Xiaolin quickly echoed.

"With so many leaders, how can I order the dishes?" Xiao Hongmei secretly glared at Liu Xiaolin and said, "We still need to see what the leaders like to eat and order accordingly."

"I like both of the dishes Hongmei mentioned," Han Xiaoguo said.

"Right, these two dishes are also my must-orders every time I come here," Supervisor Wu said.

"People in Yuhai City, there's no one who doesn't like these two dishes," Xiao Hongmei said with a smile, "We're almost there, Manager Liu, prepare to park."

Liu Xiaolin saw Han Ruoyu's car ahead already signaling to turn, so he quickly slowed down, followed, and parked in front of the restaurant.

The group walked into the restaurant, heading for Room 207 on the second floor. As they passed 206, a waiter happened to open the door to serve dishes. Liu Xiaolin's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Cai Chenghan and another man sitting inside the open door. His four or five bodyguards were not present.

Liu Xiaolin was secretly startled: "Who is Cai Chenghan having dinner with? He even sent his bodyguards away?"

He calmly followed everyone into 207. A waiter came in with a pen and notebook, waiting for them to order.

"Spicy Rabbit Head and Pork Knuckle and Soybean Soup," Liu Xiaolin ordered these two dishes without hesitation.

"Has Manager Liu been here before?" Han Ruoyu asked in surprise, "How do you know the two must-order dishes here?"

"Xiao Accountant recommended these two dishes on the way here," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile, "I won't order any other dishes. You can order whatever you want. Feel free to order, don't save money for me."

"Alright, with Manager Liu's words, we won't be polite," Han Ruoyu said to the few financial staff who came with his car.

While they were ordering, Liu Xiaolin quietly said to Xiang Guangming, "Cai Chenghan is in private room 206, having dinner with a man in his fifties wearing a suit and tie."

"Ah?" Xiang Guangming looked at Han Xiaoguo in surprise and said, "Cai Chenghan rarely comes here. Why is he having dinner with someone here today?"

"And, there are only the two of them in the private room. The bodyguards are not present," Liu Xiaolin continued.

"Could that person be Director Tan?" Han Xiaoguo hesitated, "This place is quite secluded, so it's very safe for them to meet here. They don't have to worry about being seen by Director Tan's current colleagues. If former colleagues saw him, they would flatter him and wouldn't say anything unfavorable about him."

"That makes sense," Xiang Guangming said, "Then, should we go over and take a look later?"

"He must have seen us, because we're such a large group, we're very conspicuous," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile, "If he doesn't come over, it means he doesn't want us to know it's him. If we go over without permission, it will make him unhappy. It's better not to go over for now and wait for him to come."

"I agree with General Manager Liu's opinion. For now, observing the situation is the best approach," Han Xiaoguo said.

The three quickly reached a consensus: pretend not to know Cai Chenghan was next door!

"The dishes are ordered! Are we drinking?" Xiao Hongmei asked, looking at the three whispering leaders.

"We still have to work this afternoon, so no alcohol. We can just drink some beverages," Liu Xiaolin said, "The girls can have some yogurt, and we old men can have some fruit juice."

"Okay, we'll listen to General Manager Liu, no drinking," Han Xiaoguo had originally wanted to drink a bit, after all, gnawing on spicy rabbit head with a sip of baijiu was truly wonderful.

But since Liu Xiaolin wasn't drinking, then she wouldn't either!

Soon the dishes arrived. Everyone drank their beverages and ate the food, not forgetting to toast each other. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

As everyone was eating and chatting, there was a knock on the private room door, and then someone entered carrying a cup.

Everyone looked up and saw it was Cai Chenghan!

"General Manager Cai, why are you here?" Xiang Guangming asked, feigning great surprise.

"Hey, I was running some errands nearby and saw it was mealtime, so I just came here to grab a bite by myself," Cai Chenghan said with a smile, "Who's treating today? It's so lively! Almost all the elites from our company are here."

"General Manager Cai, why didn't you contact me when you were near the company? Please sit, please sit. Waiter, add a chair and a set of tableware," Xiang Guangming stood up, offering his seat to Cai Chenghan, and simultaneously called the waiter.

The waiter hurriedly carried a stool over: "Please make do with this stool, there are no extra chairs."

Then he took out a set of tableware from the private room's drawer and set it up: "Please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, please let me know in time."

Cai Chenghan was not polite and directly sat in Xiang Guangming's chair, right between Han Xiaoguo and Liu Xiaolin.

The stool the waiter brought was placed next to Han Xiaoguo.

"This young man is?" Cai Chenghan looked at Liu Xiaolin, finding him familiar but unable to recall where he had seen him.

"This is Liu Xiaolin, the purchasing manager of Langfang Fine Carving. He just signed a large order of over ten million with our company," Han Xiaoguo quickly introduced.

"Oh, it's Manager Liu! My apologies!" Cai Chenghan immediately said with a beaming smile, "Thank you, Manager Liu, for your trust in us."

"This is?" Liu Xiaolin pretended not to recognize the person and asked hesitantly.

"Oh, how clumsy of me, I got carried away after half an introduction," Han Xiaoguo said, patting her head in annoyance, "Let me reintroduce. Manager Liu, this is General Manager Cai, who oversees all operations at Haizhe Technology."

"You are General Manager Cai! It's an honor to meet you!" Liu Xiaolin said politely.

"You know me?" Cai Chenghan asked with a smile.

"Oh, General Manager Han and General Manager Xiang always mention you to me, saying that Haizhe Technology owes its current brilliance to your overall control!" Liu Xiaolin praised him profusely.
