Today The Manager is Also Very Kind Ch. 25

Prev | Directory | Next

Xia Zeqi made an appointment with Xin Nanyi to a very stylish high-end Western restaurant.

It was inappropriate to wear the usual sportswear when going to such a formal restaurant, so Xin Nanyi had no choice but to have a custom-made suit.

When he was changing clothes, he complained a little, "Fortunately, I have lost a lot of weight now, otherwise even if I could bear this custom-made suit, I would look like a nouveau riche."

As soon as Xin Nanyi drove over, handed the key to the parking boy at the door, and walked into the restaurant. He reported his name and the waiter led him to the table where Xia Zeqi was.

The lighting in the restaurant was a warm orange-yellow color, and the glazed bead curtains on the chandelier and by the window were gently swaying, and the light was overflowing and dazzling.

Xia Zeqi sat at the table, folding his hands on the table as if thinking. His eyes were lowered, and his long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes. The light was intoxicating, illuminating his cold and delicate facial features, adding a bit of softness.

Xin Nanyi's eyes flashed at this beauty, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart, he was indeed a big star with both strength and appearance. With such a handsome face, he was really the right person to enter the entertainment industry.

Xin Nanyi greeted him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, I'm late."

Xia Zeqi raised his head and saw Xin Nanyi, who had lost so much weight. He was a little surprised in his eyes. He was stunned for a while and didn't react until Xin Nanyi sat down.

"No, I arrived early."

When Xin Nanyi saw that he was still looking straight at him, he felt a little unnatural. He touched his less round face as if mocking himself and said, "What, can’t you recognize it? It took a lot of effort for me to lose weight like this."

Xia Zeqi realized that his gaze was inappropriate, and looked away awkwardly. The tips of his ears turned red, and he cleared his throat and said, "I still recognize you, I'm just surprised."

Xin Nanyi smiled and changed the topic, "Xia Yingdi* hasn't contacted me in the past half month. I thought you regretted it and not wanted to treat me to dinner."
(TN: *Yingdi, movie king/best actor.)

Xia Zeqi's face gained a touch of warmth, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said, "How could it be? I just want to heal the injury on my hand before I come out again."

He didn't want Xin Nanyi to see him in embarrassment again.

In fact, Xia Zeqi had been feeling itchy in the past half month. He had turned the page with Xin Nanyi's phone number many times, but after thinking about it for a while, he stopped. Every time he thought of Xin Nanyi inadvertently, he always had a strange and special feeling in his heart, which was subtle, attractive, irresistible and even addictive.

Xin Nanyi expressed his understanding, but it was a misunderstanding, "Yes, Mr. Xia is a public figure, and his image is very important."

"Mr. Xin, can you please stop calling me Mr. Xia or Xia Yingdi? It makes me feel weird. You can call me Zeqi." Xia Zeqi didn't show it on his face, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes that was hard to detect.

"Didn't you still call me Mr. Xin?" Xin Nanyi still smiled gently, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart. Lao Qin still called him by his full name. Wouldn't it be too intimate to call him "Zeqi"? But no matter how he looked at Xia Zeqi, he didn't look like someone he knew well.

Xia Zeqi happily continued, "Then I'll change my word. I'll call you Nanyi and you call me Zeqi."

It was hard to refuse Xia Zeqi's kindness, and Xin Nanyi couldn't find any other reason to refuse, so he agreed to change his words and called out with a gentle smile, "Zeqi."

Xia Zeqi was dazzled by his smile, and when he heard him calling "Zeqi" like that, the strange joy surged up in his heart again.

While Xin Nanyi was ordering his meal, Xia Zeqi took a few secret glances and remembered which page he probably stayed on for the longest time.

Although Xin Nanyi had lost a lot of weight now, he still paid attention to his diet. Ordering a veal steak was already a great honor to the owner.

Seeing that he didn't eat much, Xia Zeqi wanted to persuade him, but he was very conflicted in his heart. He felt that Xin Nanyi would look better if he lost weight, but he also wanted him to pay attention to his health and eat more.

As soon as Xin Nanyi noticed that he was looking at him with that direct look again, he lowered his head slightly and coughed, cleared his throat and said, "Zeqi, are your assistant and driver's injuries getting better?"

As soon as the word "Zeqi" came out of his mouth, the bones of the Best Actor Xia were softened again.

He tried his best to keep his expression calm, "They are feeling better. They stay in the hospital for more than a month and then can go home and recuperate."

"How did you deal with that gossip newspaper?"

Xia Zeqi slowly opened the red wine brought by the waiter, first poured some into his own glass, then half-full for Xin Nanyi, and finally half-full for himself. His tone of reply was still very calm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, "Of course it went bankrupt."

Xin Nanyi did not sympathize with them. His employees did not teach them well and caused such a big incident. They should indeed pay some price.

"Then I'd like to take the liberty of asking another question."

"No presumption." Xia Zeqi looked at him, his thin and beautiful lips slightly curved into a nice curve.
