"So, you had a gathering with Lao Zhang today and didn't invite me?" Wen Shulin teased.
"Hahaha, we've just started, haven't we? Please, take a seat."
Chen Cheng signaled to Tong Jialu with his eyes, and she sensibly made room.
The seating at the table changed; to the right of Chen Cheng was now Wen Shulin, followed by Tong Jialu.
To his left was still Zhang Zhenchao.
The waiter brought over new wine glasses and cutlery, and Zhang Zhenchao ordered two or three more dishes. Only then did the negotiation, with everyone harboring their own intentions, officially begin.
Zhang Zhenchao personally picked up the decanter, pouring half a glass of red wine for Wen Shulin, and said with a smile, "Chairman Wen, inviting Mr. Chen over today was just for a casual chat. Look, as soon as you arrived, the atmosphere changed, right?"
Wen Shulin nodded in thanks. She knew that Zhang Zhenchao invited her to persuade Chen Cheng.
