Jiang Shaobo was originally supposed to meet Meng Ping at a small restaurant on National Security Road that they used to frequent. He arrived on time and waited for half an hour without seeing anyone. Just as he was about to leave, he ran into Shen Ming.
"What a coincidence! Let's have a meal together." Shen Ming's smile was warm.
Jiang Shaobo said in surprise, "Why haven't you gone back to the Northern District yet?" Recently, he'd heard quite a bit about the tumultuous affairs between Shen Ming and the Ji Family, most of which were not favorable for Shen Ming. If it were someone else, they would have been back dealing with it by now, yet Shen Ming remained composed.
"It's rare to come back, and there are still some things at home that haven't been finished." Shen Ming sat automatically across from Jiang Shaobo and casually ordered two dishes.
Jiang Shaobo nodded. He had been about to leave but could only sit back down.
