Classical music played in a prestigious restaurant.
'Nan Ma over here,' Zhen Zhen said and waved her hand in the air.
Nan Ma walked to Zhen Zhen's reserved table by a window.
Nan Ma wore tight clothes, she ignored the lustful stares and sat opposite Zhen Zhen.
'Little sister, this isn't your style,' Na Ma said and swept her eyes around the restaurant. 'It's unlike you to waste your time eating at a place like this.'
'It was supervisor Cheng's suggestion,' Zhen Zhen said.
Zhen Zhen could afford eating anywhere but she hated wasting time eating at restaurants.
'Cheng Tian wants to get to know you?' Nan Ma asked.
'Big sister, don't talk about my supervisor like that,' Zhen Zhen said.
'If he asked you to eat here with him then why did you ask me to be the third wheel?' Na Ma asked.
'Big sister, last time you were mad at me for not making time to eat out with you,' Zhen Zhen said. 'I have a new research project. I'll be locked inside my lab for ten to fourteen days. So I wanted to eat with you while I'm free.'
'Little sister, are you saving time by considering this as treating me a proper meal?' Na Ma teased.
Na Ma knew Zhen Zhen for many years. Zhen Zhen was a workaholic and would forget about everything else while Zhen Zhen worked. Luckily Zhen Wu was a genius and he knew how to take care of himself at a young age. If Zhen Zhen forgot to feed Zhen Wu, Zhen Wu would call Na Ma to cook for him.
Suddenly a man in a suit sat next to Zhen Zhen.
'Are you Zhen Zhen?' the man asked.
'Little sister, do you know this man?' Nan Ma asked.
'No,' Zhen Zhen said.
'Hello I'm Reynold,' Reynold said.
Nan Ma got a bad vibe from Reynold.
'Hello,' Zhen Zhen said politely.
'You don't know who I am?' Reynold asked.
'Why would little sister know who you are?' Nan Ma asked.
'I'm the CEO of Lei Thi and I'm Miss Zhen's blind date,' Reynold said.
'Blind date?' Zhen Zhen and Nan Ma asked.
Nan Ma looked at Zhen Zhen's obliviousness and whispered in Zhen Zhen's ear. 'Little sister, what were you doing when Cheng Tian asked you to eat with him?'
'Experimenting,' Zhen Zhen said.
Nan Ma sighed. She knew Zhen Zhen must have been too focused on work and only heard Cheng Tian asked Zhen Zhen to eat at Kylie's restaurant.
'Big sister, what do I do now?' Zhen Zhen asked.
'Eat,' Nan Ma said. 'Order the most expensive dishes, he looks like a rich man.'
Zhen Zhen lost her appetite. She endured Reynold talk about Lei Thi. But she knew in a couple of years, Reynold would declare bankruptcy and wouldn't be able to afford a ferry ticket.
After the meal ended Zhen Zhen and Na Ma sighed in relief. They grabbed their bags, stood and walked toward the door.
Zhen Zhen regretted wasting time eating for too long. She pulled out a petri dish from her bag and didn't notice the three men who wore black suits were in front of her.
'Ah... my bacteria!' Zhen Zhen cried out.
Yue Gu Zui was finalising a deal with Tai Lan's representatives when he heard a woman's cry. He turned around and saw a petri dish and a woman flying toward him. He caught the woman with one arm and his free hand caught the petri dish.
Everyone in the restaurant clapped their hands in awe of the beautiful Yue Gu Zui's swift reaction.
Yue Gu Zui returned the petri dish to Zhen Zhen and left the restaurant.
Zhen Zhen stood and patted her saved petri dish.
The only person in the room who was unhappy Yue Gu Zui saved the day was Reynold. During the commotion a waiter bumped into Yue Gu Zui and the waiter accidently dropped a cup of water onto Reynold's expensive suit. But what angered Reynold more was seeing everyone's attentions were focused on Yue Gu Zui. Reynold hated not being the centre of attention and he wanted to force Yue Gu Zui to publicly apologize to him.
Zhen Zhen noticed Reynold wanted to chase after the man who saved her petri dish. But the man entered a Lincoln and disappeared.
'Zhen Zhen, do you know that man?' Nan Ma asked.
'No, why would I know him?' Zhen Zhen asked.
Nan Ma didn't know why that man looked familiar but he reminded her of her godson.
'Zhen Zhen, where's my godson?' Nan Ma asked.
'Oh no, I forgot to pick up Zhen Wu from school!' Zhen Zhen said.
