Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 613: Chapter 612, Astonishing Acting Performance

As Liu Shimei thought of this, a blush quietly rose on her cheeks.

Her heart was filled with a strong sense of anticipation...

It was at this moment.

The waiter brought the dishes they ordered, all kinds of fresh seafood and rare mountain delicacies. While the portions were small, the presentation and appearance were impeccable.

Everyone raised their glasses together.

Then they began to savor the delicacies.

”Director Xu, do you find the food here agreeable to your palate?” Jia Qinglin asked with a smile.

”It is indeed quite good.” Xu Wendong had eaten at many restaurants, and this one definitely left the deepest impression on him, without a doubt.

Jia Qinglin took a membership card out of his pocket and said, ”This restaurant serves private dishes and operates on a membership basis. If you like it, you can come often in the future!”

Xu Wendong looked embarrassed, ”That’s really too kind of you...”

Before he could finish speaking.

A young, elegant woman in a red floral cheongsam skirt walked in, carrying a platter of seafood sashimi. She seemed around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, tall, fair-skinned, and strikingly beautiful, with a face that could make one’s heart race.

She was graceful, with a gentle smile and her black hair elegantly pinned at the back with a green jade hairpin, giving off the aura of a classical beauty.

Especially those exposed beautiful legs, which could set imaginations alight.

Of course, that wasn’t the important part.

The important part was.

Xu Wendong felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from her.

”Director Jia, are you enjoying the meal today?” The woman’s gentle voice was pleasant to the ear.

Jia Qinglin laughed and said, ”Boss Qiao’s culinary skills are becoming more and more exquisite!” He introduced Xu Wendong to the woman.

”Unexpectedly, the Deputy Director of the Urban Planning Bureau is so young, truly talented at a young age!” The woman extended her right hand politely, with a charming smile on her face, ”Very pleased to meet you, Director Xu, you can call me Xiao Qiao. I hope you come often in the future.”

Xu Wendong: ”I will.”

”Then enjoy your meal, I won’t disturb you further!” Xiao Qiao said politely before turning to leave.

At this moment.

Jia Qinglin’s phone rang.

”Director Xu, I’ll step out to take a call.” He walked out with the phone, then returned to the private room a moment later, looking at Xu Wendong with a trace of nervousness and unease.

Xu Wendong: ”Director Jia, you can speak freely.”

Jia Qinglin said, ”Well, a friend called and said they want to come over and invite me to dinner. I was wondering if we could share a table?”

Xu Wendong smiled and said, ”Your friend is my friend too, let them come over directly!”

In fact, Jia Qinglin’s call was within his expectations.

Because he had long guessed that others would appear at dinner.

That was also why Xu Wendong had brought Zhang Jin along, intending for Jia Qinglin to help arrange work for him, thus indebting Xu Wendong to Jia Qinglin.

Now that Jia Qinglin mentioned a friend coming over, he could agree easily.

Jia Qinglin was delighted and immediately sent a message for them to come to the private room.

Ten minutes later.

Someone knocked on the private room door.

When the voice saying ”come in” was heard, Hu Biao and his son Hu Jiaqi entered, with Hu Jiaqi holding two bottles of aged Maotai and several cartons of Huazi cigarettes.

Jia Qinglin stood up and warmly embraced Hu Biao’s shoulder, ”Old Hu, come, come, let me introduce you, this is Deputy Director Xu Wendong of our Urban Planning Bureau.”

Hu Biao, both humbled and thrilled, extended his hands excitedly, ”I’ve long heard of Director Xu’s great name, it’s truly my good fortune to meet you today!”

Jia Qinglin added, ”Director Xu, President Hu is a real estate tycoon in Haicheng, with assets nearing billions, and also our top taxpayer!”

Xu Wendong stood and shook his hand, ”Ah, it’s Boss Hu, a pleasure, a pleasure!”

As he finished speaking.

His gaze fell on Hu Jiaqi, and he smiled, ”I didn’t expect to meet Young Master Hu here!”

Thud!

Hu Jiaqi turned pale with fright, collapsing to the ground, his eyes filled with terror, seemingly not expecting to meet Xu Wendong here.

Xu Wendong secretly gave Hu Jiaqi a thumbs-up.

This guy’s acting skills were incredibly sophisticated.

Honestly speaking.

He could totally go into showbiz.

Not just that, with such remarkable acting skills, he’d become an emperor of sorts in the entertainment industry.

Jia Qinglin frowned, ”Jiaqi, what’s going on with you?”

Hu Jiaqi’s voice trembled, unable to meet Xu Wendong’s eyes, ”Director Xu, I’m sorry, I didn’t know your identity. I hope you can forgive what happened earlier!”

Hu Biao flew into a rage, ”Rascal, what did you do before? Did you offend Director Xu?” As he spoke, he grabbed an ashtray and hurled it toward Hu Jiaqi.

Holy crap!

Xu Wendong inwardly exclaimed, Holy crap.

He hadn’t expected Hu Biao’s acting to be just as refined.

He even picked up an ashtray.

If it actually hit, Hu Jiaqi would definitely end up in the ICU.

Of course.

Jia Qinglin didn’t give him the chance to smash it down, he quickly pulled Hu Biao back, urging repeatedly, ”Old Hu, let’s talk things over calmly, don’t act rashly!”

Xu Wendong cleared his throat and said, ”Boss Hu, don’t be angry, it was just a little misunderstanding between your son and me. As they say, ’We wouldn’t have met if we hadn’t fought,’ it’s no big deal.”

He really wished to see Hu Biao throw the ashtray at Hu Jiaqi’s head.

However.

He had to give face to Jia Qinglin.

After all, he had just helped arrange work for Zhang Jin.

Otherwise, he would never have pleaded for Hu Jiaqi.

Hu Biao, moved to tears, opened one of the Maotai bottles he brought without another word, saying, ”Director Xu is broad-minded, I’m poor with words, so I won’t say much thanks, I’ll just drink this bottle to you!”

With that, he tilted his head and glugged it down in one go.

”Boss Hu, what a capacity!” Xu Wendong was quite surprised.

Not just because of Hu Biao’s impressive drinking capacity.

But also...

You brought two bottles of wine, and now you’re downing one all by yourself?

Meaning you brought the wine for yourself to drink, not to share with us?

While Xu Wendong was still processing, Hu Jiaqi also stood up, just like his father, unscrewed the other Maotai bottle, saying, ”Director Xu, thank you for your generosity and tolerance, but I would still like to apologize to you.”

”To show my apologies, I’ll drink this bottle too!” With that, he tilted it up, and in less than half a minute, the other Maotai bottle was empty.

Father and son, after drinking, both remained composed with neither blushing nor gasping, which clearly showcased their drinking capability.

”Director Xu was right earlier, ’We wouldn’t have met if we hadn’t fought,’ you two, father and son, hurry and sit, we shall not leave sober tonight!” Jia Qinglin laughed heartily.

Because his task today was to mediate, and now that Xu Wendong and the Hu Family had reconciled, he genuinely felt happy.

Little did he know.

A disaster was brewing...
