Chapter 1017 You made an appointment with Zhou Jingyan?
Before we knew it, it was Su Zhenzhen's birthday.
Because it was New Year's Eve, and the second day was a holiday.
Therefore, many companies are also very considerate in giving employees early holidays.
Su Zhenzhen had made a reservation with the restaurant for 7 p.m., and she knew that Zhou Jingyan's meeting would end at 6:30 p.m.
She remained calm and composed, driving along the flow of people on the main thoroughfare of the capital.
She parked her car at 6:30 p.m.
She arrived at the restaurant at 6:40.
The waiter immediately led Su Zhenzhen to the private room.
The private room was very quiet, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering the best views of the capital.
From this angle, you can enjoy a painless view of tonight's fireworks and drone show.
"Mrs. Zhou, this is the menu. Please take a look and call us anytime if you need anything." The waiter was very polite and courteous.
Su Zhenzhen nodded in acknowledgment.
The waiter respectfully turned and left.
Su Zhenzhen calmly flipped through the menu, then put it aside, waiting for Zhou Jingyan to arrive before ordering.
Her phone rang at the same time. She looked at the phone and thought it was Zhou Jingyan.
But the number on the screen was Shi Sheng's.
Su Zhenzhen answered the call.
"What are your plans for New Year's Eve? How about going out for a few drinks tonight?" Shi Sheng asked directly.
Su Zhenzhen laughed: "You made plans with Jingyan, you didn't forget it's my birthday tonight, did you?"
"You made an appointment with Zhou Jingyan?" Shi Sheng paused for a moment.
"Yes, it's seven o'clock tonight, they should be here soon." Su Zhenzhen glanced down at the time.
Zhou Jingyan is very punctual and rarely late.
If they are going to be late, they will call me in advance.
However, from Shi Sheng's words, Su Zhenzhen seemed to vaguely sense that something was amiss.
Because they've been best friends for so many years, Shi Sheng's words always have a hidden meaning.
"Are you sure Zhou Jingyan will come tonight?" Shi Sheng asked frankly this time.
Su Zhenzhen quieted down for a moment.
This time, before Su Zhenzhen could speak, Shi Sheng took the initiative to say, "I saw Zhou Jingyan and An Nai go to Huijing Pavilion for dinner. As for who they ate with, I don't know."
Shi Sheng told Su Zhenzhen what she had seen.
It's because I saw Zhou Jingyan having dinner with An Nai again tonight.
In addition, Shi Sheng knew that tonight was Su Zhenzhen's birthday.
That's why Shi Sheng called Su Zhenzhen to ask her what her plans were for tonight.
So that Su Zhenzhen wouldn't be the only one unhappy.
When did Su Zhenzhen's birthday become so quiet?
Even though they didn't make a big fuss, Su Zhenzhen's friends would still celebrate her birthday when they were abroad.
Now she's been abandoned all alone in the capital?
Shi Sheng's words completely silenced Su Zhenzhen.
She had no idea about this trip.
Zhou Jingyan had never mentioned it to him.
However, Su Zhenzhen also knew that Shi Sheng would not deceive her.
"Are you still going to wait for Zhou Jingyan?" Shi Sheng seemed to have guessed Su Zhenzhen's thoughts. "Okay, you wait."
"Okay." After a long while, Su Zhenzhen finally responded.
“Zhenzhen, you’re really hooked.” Shi Sheng sighed. “If it doesn’t work out, give me a call, and we’ll go out for barbecue.”
"Okay," Su Zhenzhen said calmly.
Shi Sheng didn't say anything more.
Then Shi Sheng hung up the phone.
Su Zhenzhen quietly looked at the phone that had just been hung up; the time displayed was not yet 7 o'clock.
Zhou Jingyan is not one to be on time; he always arrives 10 minutes early when he makes appointments.
It's already 6:55.
However, Zhou Jingyan did not come.
Su Zhenzhen wondered if Zhou Jingyan would come over after dropping off the client at Huijing Pavilion.
Regardless of what Su Zhenzhen thinks.
Zhou Jingyan did not appear.
It wasn't just Zhou Jingyan who didn't appear.
Even under these circumstances, as time ticked by, Zhou Jingyan didn't even make a phone call.
At 7:40 p.m., the waiter came in to ask Su Zhenzhen if she wanted to order.
Su Zhenzhen refused, and the waiter politely stepped aside.
At 8:30 p.m., the waiter came in again to ask, but Su Zhenzhen still refused.
However, Zhou Jingyan did not appear at all during the entire event.
They didn't even make a phone call, let alone show up.
It was as if Zhou Jingyan had forgotten about this matter.
Su Zhenzhen knew that this was an excuse she had made up, based on her understanding of Zhou Jingyan.
Zhou Jingyan simply forgot.
He didn't include this in his itinerary, so naturally no one mentioned it.
So, does she have to report her birthday now?
I remember when they first met, on her birthday, Zhou Jingyan wasn't so perfunctory.
Su Zhenzhen lowered her eyes and became even quieter.
Her slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.
Then, she made a phone call to He Chen.
He Chen was also surprised to receive Su Zhenzhen's call: "Madam, why are you calling me? Is there something you need to tell me?"
He Chen had previously intervened in Su Zhenzhen's company in order to get Su Zhenzhen into the distribution channels as soon as possible.
So the two of them were in frequent contact at that time.
After Su Zhenzhen had Zhou Jingyan's people withdraw from the company, He Chen and Su Zhenzhen actually had less contact.
"Is Mr. Zhou busy?" Su Zhenzhen asked casually.
Between these lines, you can't hear Su Zhenzhen's true thoughts at all.
Clearly, He Chen didn't think much of it and quickly explained it to Su Zhenzhen.
“People from Japan and South Korea are coming tonight, and President Zhou needs to attend. If you need to contact President Zhou, you can call him directly.” He Chen was quite direct.
Su Zhenzhen's identity speaks for itself.
Everyone knows how much Zhou Jingyan values Su Zhenzhen.
Therefore, Su Zhenzhen had no problem making the call directly.
“Okay. I was just worried he might be busy, so I called to ask you.” Su Zhenzhen smiled nonchalantly.
She didn't say much after that and hung up the phone.
She also knew that He Chen wouldn't inform Zhou Jingyan.
Because every word she said was reasonable and logical.
In this situation, He Chen simply assumed that she had time when she came to ask Zhou Jingyan, and that there was nothing else going on.
Su Zhenzhen lowered her eyes and remained quiet.
She was certain that Zhou Jingyan had forgotten.
I told her that just the day before yesterday, but I forgot about it in the blink of an eye.
So, does Zhou Jingyan really not care about me?
She was very quiet and didn't say a word, as if she was thinking.
Before you knew it, it was 9 p.m., and the waiter came in again.
Su Zhenzhen calmly looked at the waiter and said, "Sorry, we don't need to order. We've taken up so much of your time."
"It's alright," the waiter said politely.
I didn't ask any unnecessary questions.
Then Su Zhenzhen got up and left the restaurant in a very low-key manner.
She got back into her car but didn't drive away immediately.
She pondered for a moment before making a phone call to Zhou Jingyan.
As it turned out, the person who answered the phone was Anai.
“Mrs. Zhou, Mr. Zhou is busy. If you need anything, I will pass it on to him.” An Nai’s voice came through politely but stiffly.
Su Zhenzhen frowned: "No need."
“Okay,” An Nai replied directly.
