Chapter 214: A Rare Date

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The two people Zhao Mian saw were the heiress of the Li family, Li Ran, and Zhou Liu, the new recruit from Yuan An’s company’s technical department.

Zhou Liu was a hot shot in the company’s technical department. The department supervisor had carefully nurtured him and approved of the code he designed. Moreover, Zhao Mian had just raised his salary because Zhou Liu had discovered a bug in the company’s database not long ago.

Zhao Mian was very good at judging people. Zhou Liu was only concerned about coding and didn’t care about his image at all. He even shaved his head for the convenience of washing his hair.

In order to save time, he wore black-framed glasses all day long and didn’t even wear contact lenses. His clothes were clean, but he only owned a few pieces. Moreover, the styles were all the same. It was enough to show that he didn’t care about fashion or dressing up. He was a true technical geek.

However, everyone knew Li Ran’s personality. She was a bubbly and outgoing heiress who did things swiftly and decisively. Back then, when she liked a scumbag, she got together with him without caring about what the outside world said. When she got a divorce, she was also straightforward and decisive.

How could such an heiress know a boring technical geek who only cared about coding? Not to mention the two of them were even dining together!

Zhao Mian was suspicious and felt that there was something fishy about this matter. It would have been fine if it was an ordinary person, but Zhou Liu was almost a core member of the company now. He had seen many confidential documents and algorithms, and participated in many of the company’s programs. It could be said that he was already an indispensable part of Yuan An.

Although the Li family had always been on good terms with their corporation, after so many things had happened, Zhao Mian still couldn’t completely trust them.

When Yuan Shu went to Yuan An to do a big checkup, although Yuan Shu didn’t say she noticed anything amiss, Zhao Mian could roughly guess that something must have happened between Yuan Shu and Li Ci. From the fact that Yuan Shu was on good terms with Li Ci during that period of time but didn’t contact him anymore afterwards, she could tell that there was something wrong with Li Ci and that Li Ci’s motive for interacting with the Shi family was impure.

As Li Ci’s most beloved niece, Li Ran having a close relationship with an important employee of Yuan Shu’s company was indeed inappropriate. It seemed that she had to investigate their relationship.

Actually, this was the first time Li Ran and Zhou Liu had met for a meal.

Ever since Zhou Liu helped Li Ran last time, the two of them had kept in touch online.

Li Ran had an outgoing personality, and she had never seen someone with Zhou Liu’s personality, so she became attracted to him and chatted with Zhou Liu every day. The more they chatted, the more familiar they became.

Li Ran had always said that she wanted to thank Zhou Liu for what happened last time and treat him to a meal, but Zhou Liu had always rejected her. Today, Li Ran told Zhou Liu that there was a problem with her computer, and there were many confidential documents on the computer, so Li Ran wouldn’t feel at ease if she handed it to someone else to fix.

Hence, Zhou Liu agreed to have dinner together tonight and help take a look at her computer.

The reservation was booked by Li Ran. Although it wasn’t the first time the two of them had met and the two of them had been chatting for some time, Li Ran actually felt a little bashful when she sat opposite Zhou Liu.

Zhou Liu was a completely oblivious man. The first thing he said when he sat down wasn’t to exchange pleasantries, but instead, “Take out your computer and let me take a look.”

Li Ran was at a loss for words. Why would someone look at a computer at a restaurant instead of ordering food or chatting?

Li Ran felt exasperated as she handed him the pink laptop bag that contained her laptop.

The first thing Zhou Liu did was to turn on the computer bag to check, but Li Ran hurriedly stopped him. “Our main purpose for tonight is eating. Don’t keep thinking about repairing the computer. Let’s order food first.”

Coincidentally, the attendant walked towards them with the menu. Only then did Zhou Liu place the laptop bag on another chair and the two of them started to order..
