"If you want to know, you can ask anyone. But you can’t ask me."
Yun Zijin wasn’t about to give anyone leverage over her.
When Su Mengyao heard there was a non-disclosure agreement, she tactfully shut her mouth.
"Then I won’t ask. Let’s just think about where to eat after we’re done here."
Su Mengyao took out her phone and started searching for nearby restaurants.
"How about... this Qingjin Pavilion? The name sounds a lot like Zijin’s name."
Su Mengyao looked at the nearby places, but was ultimately captivated by a photo of Qingjin Pavilion’s entrance. "How have I never noticed how beautiful this place is before?"
’I must have been blind before,’ Su Mengyao thought.
Hearing Su Mengyao mention Qingjin Pavilion, a flicker of emotion crossed Yun Zijin’s eyes. ’Of all the restaurants, why did she have to pick Qingjin Pavilion?’
"I’m fine with whatever. I’ll go with what you guys decide."
Qin Sitong wasn’t familiar with any of the restaurants; her main role was just to go with the flow.
"I’ve been to Qingjin Pavilion before. It’s really good.
But I’ve never seen the owner. I heard they’re some big shot from overseas. But that’s just a rumor, so don’t take it too seriously."
True to her reputation as Dijing’s "walking encyclopedia," Tu Tutu even knew all sorts of secret information.
If Yun Zijin hadn’t eaten at Qingjin Pavilion with Situ Wenze and the others, she would have had no idea who the owner was.
Although she didn’t get along well with the Situ family, she couldn’t deny that the food at Qingjin Pavilion was truly delicious.
If Su Mengyao wanted to go, they would go. Yun Zijin wasn’t going to exclude Qingjin Pavilion from her list of places to eat just to avoid the Situ family.
"I have no objections. If you want to go, you can make a reservation now."
Both the main hall on the first floor and the private rooms at Qingjin Pavilion were always in high demand.
"I’ll do it!"
Tu Tutu pulled out her phone and started scrolling through her contacts.
While Tu Tutu was looking for the number in her contacts, Yun Zijin’s phone rang.
Seeing it was an unknown number, Yun Zijin decisively hung up.
’Too many scammers these days. I don’t answer unknown numbers as a rule.’
But the person on the other end obviously wasn’t going to give up that easily; the same number called again.
On the second call, Yun Zijin had a faint inkling of who it was, but she still answered it reluctantly.
"Hello..."
Yun Zijin’s greeting was listless.
"Yun Zijin, have any strangers contacted you recently?"
Xia Zhiyun’s voice came through the receiver. His opening with such a strange question made Yun Zijin furrow her brow slightly.
"No."
Even if there had been, Yun Zijin wouldn’t necessarily have told Xia Zhiyun.
"Really? Are you sure? Why don’t you think a little harder?"
Xia Zhiyun thought that since the Situ family wanted to acquire their shares, it would be much easier to buy them from Yun Zijin than from him and his father.
Situ Wenze shouldn’t be stupid enough to choose the hard way when there was an easy one.
Hearing Xia Zhiyun’s words, Yun Zijin raised an eyebrow slightly.
’I didn’t expect Situ Wenze to move so quickly. It hasn’t been long since my call with Situ Yunliang, and he’s already met with the Xia father and son.’
But things were going just as Yun Zijin had expected; the Xia father and son hadn’t yet reached the point where they were forced to sell their shares.
However, Situ Wenze talking to them had opened a crack. Before long, the pair would likely crumble.
"Of course not. Is there any reason for me to lie to you? If you only called to ask about this, then you can hang up."
With that said, Yun Zijin hung up first.
