***************************

Li Xiangdong stood up and extended his hand, while Qian Jie merely nodded at him.

"This is your friend, right? That's great. My brother-in-law and a few friends are having dinner in the private room over there. Why don't you join us?" Qian Jie said to Wang Luoshi, not even glancing at Li Xiangdong. Wang Luoshi was helpless about Qian Jie's attitude and gave Li Xiangdong a somewhat apologetic look. Li Xiangdong shrugged, not caring about people like Qian Jie.

Over the years, he had grown up amidst cold eyes and ridicule, so he had long developed an attitude of indifference to praise or blame. Now, with Qian Jie treating him so lightly, he wasn't angry, because he believed in treating others as they treated him.

Since Qian Jie didn't take him seriously, he would treat her as if she didn't exist.

Wang Luoshi didn't want to go, but couldn't resist Qian Jie's persistent pleading, and finally nodded to accept her invitation, following Qian Jie to the private room.

"Hey, you don't need the food here. Wait a moment, have the waiter clear it away and charge it to our private room."

Qian Jie spoke with a haughty tone, treating Li Xiangdong like a waiter.

Li Xiangdong smiled slightly, turned his head, and called out, "Waiter, wait a moment and move all the food from here to that private room. There's so much food left, it would be a waste to throw it away."

He didn't care about Qian Jie's expression, just smiled at Wang Luoshi.

"Exactly, there's so much food. It would be a waste to throw it away if it's not eaten."

Wang Luoshi looked at him and said, and Qian Jie could only glare fiercely at Li Xiangdong.

Following Qian Jie into the private room she mentioned, Li Xiangdong found that most of the people in the room were acquaintances, including Yang Feng and his group who had previously invited him.

The private room was quite spacious, with about seven or eight people sitting inside, including Yang Feng, Lu Jian, and Lu Jian's lackey Dou Bin, as well as two girls.

When these two girls saw Li Xiangdong enter, they were also surprised, and one of them smiled slightly, "Li Xiangdong, you're here too."

These two girls were each beautiful in their own way, one with snow-white skin, delicate features, and a somewhat aloof demeanor, resembling the mixed-race spokesperson for Olay, Daniel.

The other had a wheat-colored complexion, a robust figure, and a strikingly masculine appearance.

Both girls were exceptionally beautiful in terms of both temperament and appearance. Among the girls present, only Wang Luoshi's petite and dazed demeanor could match them, forming a third style of beauty.

As for Qian Jie, although she was also considered beautiful, she could only be regarded as an ordinary beauty compared to these three.

The one who had greeted Li Xiangdong was the girl with the strikingly masculine appearance. She and the other girl with a somewhat aloof demeanor were both Li Xiangdong's classmates at the police academy, and both were well-known beauties there.

The one with the lighter skin was named An Jianing, and the other with the wheat-colored skin was named Hu Ying. Both were star students in the criminal investigation department.

Hu Ying had greeted Li Xiangdong, and he nodded at her with a smile, then found a place to sit.

"Hey! Little Wang, come sit over here, next to Qian Jie."

Qian Jie warmly invited Wang Luoshi, but Wang Luoshi shook her head and firmly sat next to Li Xiangdong. At this moment, Hu Ying waved her hand at Lu Jian and nodded.

Lu Jian had no choice but to get up and give up his seat, and Hu Ying and An Jianing took the opportunity to sit next to Wang Luoshi.

"Qian Jie, just stay with your brother-in-law. These guys always drink, and sitting with them is boring. It's more comfortable for us girls to sit together."

Hu Ying said boldly, and An Jianing nodded in agreement. Yang Feng's face flashed with a hint of displeasure, but he quickly put on a smile.

"That's right, Hu Jie, let the girls sit together. It's more convenient for them to drink beverages."

Previously, An Jianing and Hu Ying had been sitting closest to him, giving him the most opportunities. He had certain intentions towards these two girls, as their backgrounds were not simple, and getting either of them would save him thirty years of hard work.

But now, these two girls were different from girls like Ling Shuang'er. He had spent a lot of effort on them, but had seen no results.

Now, these two girls had suddenly sat next to Li Xiangdong. Although he knew they wouldn't develop anything with Li Xiangdong, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Lu Jian and Dou Bin also saw the flash of displeasure on Yang Feng's face. Their eyes met, then separated, and they had already made up their minds.

"Wow, what a coincidence!"

Suddenly, a voice that Li Xiangdong found somewhat familiar sounded in the private room. He looked up and saw a man entering from the door, who also paused when he saw him.

"Honey, what's wrong? Do you know each other?"

Qian Jie came to the man's side and put her arm around his. The man's expression was very strange, a mix of anger, confusion, and excitement, making his usually handsome face look somewhat distorted.

"Ha ha, Captain Yang, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into you so soon!"

Li Xiangdong laughed and stood up to speak to the man, extending his hand. Captain Yang stood there, staring at him for a long time, before finally reaching out to shake his hand firmly.

"Indeed, what a coincidence."

This Captain Yang was the head of the public security team of the Qianshan District, Yang Yunpeng, who had been suspended by the Qianshan District Chief, Qin, due to the incident at the hospital.

The reason was simple: Wang Shuren had indeed called Chief Qin, and although Chief Qin wanted to protect his subordinate and had a good relationship with his father, such a big mistake couldn't be ignored. So, Yang Yunpeng was suspended.

He had originally planned to invite a few brothers for a meal and gather some information about Li Xiangdong, but he never expected to run into him here.

Thinking about how this kid had caused him to be suspended and possibly receive a major demerit, Yang Yunpeng hated him so much that he couldn't help but tighten his grip.
