Joes revealed a faint smile and said,ââIf you donât have an appointment, are there any available rooms now?â
After all, they were poaching people, so it was better to talk in the private room.
Otherwise, if they talked about such things in public, even if no one noticed, they would still feel a little guilty.
Hearing this, the waitress shook her head awkwardly and said apologetically,ââIâm sorry, miss. All the private rooms have been reserved.
But thereâs a quiet four-seater seat by the window. I wonder if it meets your requirements. â
Crown restaurantâs business was usually very good, so the loss of the private room was expected.
âSure,â Joes nodded.
As long as it was quiet, she could accept it.
The service staff heaved a sigh of relief and led joesse to the four-seater seat. It was indeed a good one.
Since it was a window seat on the second floor, they could see the night view outside through the clear glass window.
It was almost evening, and the night market outside was already lit up with neon lights, which was quite dazzling.
Joesse ordered a steak for three people and some other side dishes, then sat down quietly and waited.
After about a minute, his phone started to ring.
......
Joesâs eyes lit up as she picked up the call. She heard a familiar female voice.
âSisi, Wang Li and I have arrived at the entrance of crown restaurant. Are you there yet?â
It was Lin ya, whom he had not seen for a year, and Wang Li, who she had dragged along.
Joes smiled.âIâm already waiting for you in the restaurant. Just tell the waiter that youâll be seated at the back by the window.â
âGood! Just wait for us!â
Lin ya said, and then the phone rang.âToot du du.â
Not long after, Qiao sisi saw Lin ya and Wang Li, who were being led by the waitress.
They hadnât seen each other for a year, but Lin ya was still as lively as last year and liked girly-style clothes.
However, Wang Li was different. Time had allowed her to grow a lot.
âQuickly sit down.â Joes quickly stood up and beckoned for the two of them to sit down.
At this moment, the side dishes from crown restaurant were served, along with a few glasses of 100% fruit juice. The aroma was very tempting.
Lin ya hugged joesse and felt a stinging sensation in her nose,ââSisi, itâs been a year.â
Joes gently patted her back.ââIâm fine. Arenât I back already?â
Wang Li, who was sitting at the side, smiled helplessly.
This year, after Qiao sisi left, she was the one who suffered. Every day, she would listen to Lin yaâs gossip about the company.
It was still fine for a day or two as she felt that it was fresh. However, as time passed, she felt that her ears were about to get calluses.
However, their feelings for each other were also gradually growing, and they were now almost at the stage of best friends.
It was just like how Joes and Anna Chen understood each other with just a look and a sentence.
Soon, Lin ya also sat down. After gulping down a mouthful of fruit juice, she picked up a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth.
âSisi, how have you been abroad for the past year? What did he learn? Are you not leaving this time?â
The questions came one after another. Even Wang Li was curious, let alone Lin ya.
Joes also patiently explained,ââIâve had a good year abroad. With help, Iâve learned a lot.
Iâve started my own company called Xing Yuan design, and I donât have any intention of leaving for the time being. â
She answered all the questions in one breath because she already knew the answers.
The purpose of going abroad was to have a better return. Since she could stay in city h, she naturally did not want to leave this place that she had worked so hard for for so many years.
Moreover, with Xing Yuan design company, he had another goal to strive for.
Lin ya raised an eyebrow at joesseâs words and asked curiously,ââXing Yuan design company?â
Wang Liâs gaze also fell on Jossi. The two of them had never heard of her before, so it should be a new company.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Joes smiled and nodded, saying,ââItâs a new jewelry design company, and itâs still in its early stages.
Donât look at me with such surprise. Itâs not as good as running your own company and designing jewelry as you please. â
Jossi was a jewelry designer, and she would never forget her original intentions.
Jian Li company also wanted to become a jewelry designerâs dream, but this goal ... Was still too difficult to achieve.
After all, with Jin Yu company leading the charge in the country, how would the jewelry designers notice other companies?
Wang Li took a sip of her juice and smiled.ââSisiâs right, itâs better to set up your own company. â
âIâm looking forward to it. â Lin yaâs expression was envious.
The two of them were different.
Although Wang Li was also working at Shiyu company, most of her work was done out of interest. If she wanted to leave, she could do so at any time.
Previously, when she was fighting with Wei Ya, Joes had already guessed this.
However, Lin ya couldn ât. She still had to make a living at home, so she could only choose to stay in Shiyu.
The three of them chatted and laughed for a while before the steak was served by the waiter.
The steak was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of juice, which was very appetizing at first glance.
Lin ya couldnât help but pick up her knife and fork. After taking a bite of the steak, her face was full of satisfaction.
At this time, they finally cut into the main topic.
Wang Li picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth. She smiled and said,ââSisi, you didnât call us here today just to reminisce, right?â
Joesseâs meaning was actually a little obvious, and she even mentioned her newly opened Xing Yuan design company.
Jossi nodded.âThatâs right. Actually ... Iâd like to invite you to join my company.â
At the end of her sentence, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
No matter what Lin ya and Wang Li thought, she wouldnât interfere. She just wanted to give it a try.
Both of them were talents, and Joes had never thought that she would one day do something like poaching them.
At the thought of this, Joes could not help but chuckle.
âSwish!â
A crisp sound was heard, and Lin yaâs stunned expression gradually relaxed. She quickly picked up the knife and fork on the table.
She lowered her head with a slightly red face and said,ââI ... Accidentally ...â
âIâm fine. Whatâs wrong with you, Xiao Ya?â Joes furrowed her brows and asked worriedly.
She noticed that something was wrong with Lin ya, so she asked a few more questions without thinking too much about it.
