Chapter 43
Lin Chengtian took out his cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and blinked.

It seems that he underestimated this Ningxia. Unexpectedly, when she came in, she hid all the body language that could reveal her character.

I thought that Ningxia was just a young girl who had just graduated, and she would be able to take the bait with some benefits, which was unexpected.

Ningxia didn't want to go to the bathroom. She already knew Lin Chengtian's purpose. Ningxia wanted to leave. Even if Lin Chengtian had any entanglement with Xu Jie, what did it have to do with her?
Thinking like this, Ningxia decided to end the dinner.

After walking out of the bathroom, Ningxia went straight to the hotel lobby. There were two private rooms next to the corridor that were full of people.

Just when Ning Xia walked to the door of one of the boxes, the door was suddenly opened.

"Ningxia!"

"Captain Xu!"

The two were stunned at the same time.

"Why are you here?"

"Why is Captain Xu here?"

The two asked at the same time.

Xu Jie turned back and closed the box door, and stood side by side with Ning Xia in the corridor. Xu Jie looked not very good and asked again:
"Why are you here?"

Ning Xia's heart was pounding, as if she had done something bad and been caught by Xu Jie, but she had done nothing.

"It's Manager Lin. He invited me to dinner. We...but I didn't eat and was about to leave."

"Lin Chengtian?"

Xu Jie's voice contained anger.

Ningxia didn't know what to say, especially when Lin Chengtian asked her just now if she liked Xu Jie.

Ning Xia glanced at Xu Jie hastily. He was wearing a white shirt and suit pants, tall and handsome, but his eyebrows were downcast and he was very unhappy.

Ningxia asked weakly:
"Captain Xu, then I'm leaving?"

Xu Jie then raised his head and stared at Ning Xia for a while, as if he had something to say.

"Captain Xu?"

"You didn't eat?"

"Ah."

"Forget it, just wait for me."

After saying that, Xu Jie turned around and warned again uneasily:
"Stand here, don't move, wait for me."

After saying that, without waiting for Ning Xia's reply, Ning Xia opened the door and returned to the box. Ning Xia only heard the noise of men inside, and Xu Jie was whispering sorry.

A minute later, Xu Jie walked out and when he opened the door, he was followed by several men with smiles on their faces.

"sister in law."

"Siblings."

Two men walked in the front. They were about the same age as Xu Jie. Their faces were already flushed and they had drank at first glance.

"Sister-in-law, Lao Xu is not mean enough, so come in and have some food with us. We are high school classmates with Lao Xu, and it's not easy to meet each other. No, come to Jinghai for a few days and let's get together."

"That's right." The people next to him also agreed:

"Lao Xu said you were shy. We are all buddies, so there is nothing to be shy about. Besides, my wife is here too. We are a bunch of people having a lot of fun. Come on in."

Xu Jie's face, which was originally a little depressed, finally showed a smile because of everyone's teasing. He pushed the person who called Ningxia sister-in-law with one hand:
"You must have drunk too much. Don't talk nonsense. This is the policewoman of our team, not the one you are joking about."

The middle-aged man pointed his hand:
"Old Xu, this is what's wrong with you. Now we are having a family dinner, and we are not in a team. Now you are the bastard who made us skip school to dig out bird's nests when we were in school."

Everyone burst into laughter, and some waiters looked over. Xu Jie looked at Ning Xia, and Ning Xia looked a little confused.

But regardless of sister-in-law or younger siblings, this address makes Ningxia feel very novel.

"Ningxia..."

Xu Jie was a little embarrassed.

Ningxia nodded generously:

"Then I'll disturb everyone."

Ning Xia followed Xu Jie into the box, gently pulled Xu Jie's sleeve, and whispered:
"Captain Xu, I don't drink."

Xu Jie nodded.

Ning Xia walked into the box. There were about ten people here, all of the same age, but judging from the degree of intimacy, there were couples and couples.

There was a girl sitting next to Zhang Luo's favorite man, waving to Ningxia:
"Hello, you are Xu Jie's girlfriend. We have all been asking for a long time, but Xu Jie refused to say anything. Look at what a coincidence we have met."

There is no use in explaining anymore, Ning Xia smiled:
"It's a coincidence."

"Come on, come on, sit here with me."

The girl was particularly enthusiastic and motioned for Ningxia to sit next to her, but was interrupted by another older girl next to her:
"Don't make trouble. This little girl is not as familiar as you. If you want to sit down, you have to sit next to Xu Jie."

After saying that, everyone laughed again and stared at Ningxia.

Xu Jie waved his hand:
"I'm really not kidding, let me introduce to you, Ningxia, the female police officer of our criminal investigation team. Please be careful and don't talk nonsense. Ningxia, these people are my high school classmates and family members."

After speaking, Xu Jie introduced these people to Ningxia one by one.

"Hey, Lao Xu is getting nervous now. Is there anything else our wise and powerful Captain Xu is afraid of?"

Xu Jie didn't argue anymore, lowered his head and smiled.

While everyone was teasing, Ning Xia sent a message to Lin Chengtian.

"Manager Lin, I'm sorry, I have to leave beforehand. Sorry."

Ningxia felt it was very good, and people felt much more comfortable sending the information.

Xu Jie had been paying attention to Ning Xia's expression. After seeing Ning Xia send a message, he relaxed and Xu Jie felt relieved.

It seemed that Xu Xu's plan was not a long-term solution. In the flash of lightning, Xu Jie decided on one thing.

At this moment, there were three knocks on the door, then the door was pushed open, and a man walked in slowly.

He was holding the wine glass with an arrogant look on his face, and his eyes swept over everyone little by little. When he saw Ningxia, his eyes locked for three seconds, and finally stopped at Xu Jie.

It was Lin Chengtian who came.

"Captain Xu, you kidnapped my customer, why didn't you even say hello? As a result, I failed to complete the business and lost a lot of money."

All the people in the room were stunned. They looked at Lin Chengtian and then at Xu Jie, but no one said anything.

Xu Jie half raised his head with a smile on his face:
"Oh? Business? This room is full of Xu Jie's people. I've never heard of anyone doing business."

"This business is not that business. It is a major event in life, and it was ruined by Captain Xu."

After saying that, Lin Chengtian looked at Ningxia:

"Ningxia, I invite you to dinner, why are you sitting here?"

Everyone at the dinner table looked at Ning Xia and Xu Jie. What were these two people doing?
Ningxia stood up:
"Manager Lin, I may not appreciate compliments, but Manager Lin is going to the police force to find me. I'm afraid it will affect the work of the criminal investigation team, so I have to come today. Captain Xu is also here. Let me reiterate again that I am not willing to accept Lin's work." The manager’s flowers don’t want to have dinner with Manager Lin.”

Everyone present understood and looked at Xu Jie with interest.

Xu Jie curled up his lips, stood up carelessly, put his hands in his trouser pockets and said to Lin Chengtian:

"Manager Lin, what do you think we should do? A large bouquet of red roses has been left in the conference room for a while. I don't mind, but I'm afraid that Manager Lin will spend too much money."

"It's okay, it's all small money. Since Captain Xu doesn't mind, I'll change it to something else tomorrow."

After Lin Chengtian finished speaking, he looked around at everyone:
"I'm taking the liberty to come here. Team Xu and I are good buddies. Now I'm the CEO of Huanyu Securities Investment Fund Company. If you want to make money, you can come to me. I can't help you with anything else. I'll help you earn 20 or [-]." It’s still totally fine.”

After saying that, Lin Chengtian smiled and drank all the wine in the glass:

"Don't bother everyone, the money for your table has been counted in my name, everyone enjoy themselves."
