Chapter 237 First date?
Arriving at the parking lot, Guan Juer looked at the Mercedes-Benz in front of her with her mouth wide open in surprise. She asked in disbelief, "Is this your car, Brother Chen?"
Chen An smiled and nodded, "I ordered it some time ago and just picked it up this afternoon. You are the first lady to experience the co-pilot seat."
As the car was driving on the road, Guan Juer had many questions in her mind and was full of curiosity about Chen An. She would steal a glance at Chen An from time to time. The car of the boss of their department was also a Mercedes-Benz like this. She didn't know the specific price, but it would start at at least one million. How could Brother Chen be so rich?
Chen An found it funny to see Guan Juer hesitate to speak several times, looking conflicted. This girl was so naive. She had known him for such a long time and had talked with him for a long time, but she knew very little about what he did except for the impression he had at the horse farm, and she never asked him about it.
"Guan Guan, you must be exhausted today. When you came out just now, you had your head down and looked listless. Is your work not going well?" Chen An asked with concern.
"It's okay, I just always feel that I'm a little stupid, my work efficiency is a little slow, and I always have to work overtime..." Guan Juer lowered her head slightly, frowned slightly, and there was a hint of frustration in her tone.
"Although the saying 'diligence can make up for lack of talent' sounds like a lie, it is still very useful to use it as chicken soup for yourself and replenish your energy occasionally." Chen An comforted with a smile.
Guan Juer laughed and gave Chen An a coquettish look, "Brother Chen, how come the taste of good chicken soup has changed when it comes to you?"
"The main reason is that I have a pair of eyes that can distinguish right from wrong, beauty from ugliness, and a heart that is not polluted by the world." Chen An looked proud.
"Brother Chen, if someone else said this, I would definitely complain about it, saying it's too narcissistic, but you are different..." Guan Juer smiled with her lips pursed, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Not bad, not bad. The shy girl we first met has become more mature after working. This is really helpful for me." Chen An joked.
"Hehe, Brother Chen, this is called learning on the job and applying what I have learned. You are the one who taught me all this." Guan Juer winked playfully.
"Teach your apprentice to starve yourself to death?" Chen An pretended to be serious.
"How could I possibly let my master starve to death? What do you want to eat? I, your apprentice, will treat you." Guan Juer said quickly, and her anxious look was very cute.
"Let's eat some barbecue at this time. To be honest, the weather in Shanghai is still quite hot." Chen An said.
"There's a barbecue restaurant near our community." After saying that, Guan Juer suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother Chen, where do you live?"
"Yunpu Hotel is not far from the neighborhood where you live."
When Guan Juer heard this, her heart started beating fast and her face turned red. She secretly looked at Chen An's face and the more she looked, the more she liked him.
Chen An shook his head helplessly. It was common for these innocent girls to use their imaginations. He didn't know what this girl was thinking about. "Guan Guan, as someone who has been in Shanghai for several years, shouldn't you introduce me to the scenery along the way?"
"Ah, that's right, that's right." Guan Juer was a little embarrassed, her face turned even redder, and she thought: Brother Chen didn't laugh at me just now, did he? Was I a little bit of a fangirl just now?
The car was not going fast along the way, and it was mainly because it couldn't go faster. Chen An listened attentively to Guan Juer's enthusiastic introduction, nodding slightly from time to time. He had some impression of the surrounding environment.
When they got to the neighborhood, Guan Juer hurriedly reminded him: "Brother Chen, just park the car here. Let's walk over there. Otherwise, if we park over there, we will have to pay the parking fee."
Chen An responded, quickly glanced around, and found a suitable place to park the car steadily.
"Let's go, Guan Guan, I'm really hungry. I just had a quick meal on the plane at noon and I don't want to complain about how bad the food was." Chen An said while rubbing his stomach with his hands, a helpless expression on his face.
"Brother Chen, this barbecue is very special. I've been here with Sister Fan and the others before. You can try it later..." Guan Juer said with an expectant smile on her face.
The two men walked past each other side by side, and only then did Chen An take a closer look at the barbecue restaurant in front of him.
The store looked quite spacious, with three floors, each floor seemed to be about 200 square meters. There were many tables at the door, and most of the people were already sitting there, it was very lively, and it was obvious that the business was very hot.
"Brother Chen, should we sit inside or outside?" Guan Juer tilted her head and looked at Chen An inquiringly.
"Let's sit inside. It's too chaotic outside." Chen An replied with a smile. Although he actually enjoyed the lively atmosphere outside, he was not alone after all, and the two of them could chat more inside.
Led by the waiter, the two entered a small private room that could seat up to four people. They ordered some skewers and a small beer.
"Guan Guan, do you still need to work when you go home at night?" Chen An looked at Guan Juer with a questioning look in his eyes.
"No, I'm done..." Guan Juer shook her head lightly, with a look of relief on her face.
"Would you like some?" Chen An pointed at the beer and asked with a smile.
Guan Juer nodded without hesitation, her eyes revealing a hint of eagerness to try.
Chen An poured Guan Juer half a cup and said with a smile: "After all, if you don't have some beer while eating barbecue, it will always be a little less exciting."
"Brother Chen, welcome to the Magic City." Guan Juer raised her glass in a proper manner with a sincere smile on her face.
Chen An clinked glasses with Guan Juer and took a big sip. Guan Juer also took a big sip.
"Guan Guan, don't drink so fast. Drink slowly. I haven't heard you tell me how much you can drink."
"Brother Chen, I'm just happy. Actually, I can drink quite a bit. At least two big glasses are no problem." Guan Juer smiled shyly, with a hint of confidence in her eyes.
"Don't worry, drink it when the food comes up, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
Guan Juer nodded. Maybe it was because she drank a little bit of wine, but she couldn't hold back the words she had been holding back all the way. She asked, "Brother Chen, are you planning to develop your career in Shanghai this time?"
Chen An nodded affirmatively, "I came here this time mainly to take care of company matters. I have some things to deal with in Dali, so I have to go back in a few days to deal with them. After that, I should stay in the Magic City permanently."
Guan Juer was very surprised when she heard this, and asked curiously, "Brother Chen, are you going to open a company in Shanghai?"
“Yes, it’s just a small company.”
"Brother Chen, where do you want to open a company? I'm quite familiar with Shanghai, so I can help you with some advice."
"It's near Songjiang University Town. The rent here is quite suitable in all aspects."
"Really, my alma mater is right here."
"What a coincidence! It seems that the saying that more friends make easier things is absolutely true."
"Brother Chen, please don't flatter me. I just ate there for a few more years. If you ask me what good food is nearby, I can definitely tell you everything. But when it comes to office buildings, I really don't know the prices."
"It's much better than me who is completely in the dark..."
"By the way, Brother Chen, my roommate Sister Fan has been in Shanghai for so many years, and she knows a lot of people, and she knows more than I do. How about I ask for you?"
After hearing what Guan Juer said, if Xu Hongmi wasn't there, Chen An would have been tempted. After all, in the original drama, Wang Baichuan came to Shanghai to start a company, and Fan Shengmei could arrange everything for him. She does have some ability in this regard, and it's not in vain.
"Don't worry, my partner's sister opened a company here, so you don't have to worry about her connections."
"Huh, Brother Chen, you still said you were in the dark. You made me worry for nothing."
"Okay, I was wrong, I have to drink half a glass of wine as punishment..."
"Brother Chen, drink slowly, the skewers haven't been served yet." Guan Juer smiled slyly, "Besides, if you drink too much, my small arms and legs won't be able to support you."
"Xiao Guanguan, you may have forgotten that I am from the Northeast. In our place, drinking is basically a necessary skill."
