With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage unhesitatingly took out Shi Yao's purse and threw it beneath the passenger's seat .
He checked again and again to ensure that the purse was well-hidden, then reversed the car over to Shi Yao's side and unlocked the car door .
Shi Yao got in the car, and Lin Jiage calmly drove the car to the restaurant entrance .
After safely parking the car in place, Lin Jiage waited for Shi Yao to leave the car with her bag before he took off his safety belt and headed down as well .
Entering the restaurant, a waitress swiftly led them to an empty table . Along the way, Lin Jiage couldn't help but notice two QR codes on the wall—one for AliPay and the other for WeChat Pay . . . This restaurant supported AliPay and WeChat Pay?

So, even though I hid her purse, it was all for nothing? I actually have to hide her phone as well?
Faint . . . Why did society have to progress so quickly?
Lin Jiage calmly pulled his chair out and took a seat as he shot a glance toward Shi Yao's phone .
Since they were sitting face to face, Lin Jiage could clearly see that the energy bar on the top-right corner of Shi Yao's phone was already blinking red .
That means that her phone is running out of battery . . .
Lin Jiage lowered his gaze and did a swift mental calculation before he beckoned for a waitress and said impassively, "We'd like to order now . "

The waitress passed him a menu with a smile as she replied, "Sure . "
Lin Jiage took the menu, but he passed it over to Shi Yao right after, saying, "You order . I can eat anything . "
Shi Yao didn't stand on ceremony either, and she started ordering a couple of dishes . From time to time, she would turn to Lin Jiage and ask, "Is this alright?"
Lin Jiage would nod nonchalantly in response . But while Shi Yao was busy ordering, he suddenly whipped out his phone, tapped into his WeChat, found Xia Shangzhou's name, and sent him a [?] . Then, he placed his phone on the table and continued watching Shi Yao order the dishes .
Roughly a minute later, Lin Jiage's phone rang . Xia Shangzhou had responded to his WeChat message: [Boss, is something wrong?]

Instead of replying to Xia Shangzhou's message, he chose to call him . At the same time, he pointed to his phone with his free hand, gesturing to Shi Yao that he needed to pick up a call .
The call quickly connected . Completely ignoring whatever Xia Shangzhou was rambling about on his side, Lin Jiage randomly said, "Mr . Xia, it's a pleasure to talk to you . "
The phone was silent on the other end for three whole seconds before Xia Shangzhou's quivering voice sounded, "Boss, did you dial the wrong number?"
Paying no heed to Xia Shangzhou's words, Lin Jiage continued, "Mr . Xia, is it a convenient time for you to talk?"
At this point, Xia Shangzhou's voice wasn't just quivering anymore, it was trembling, "B-boss, I'm very convenient! Feel free to ask me to do anything, just don't call me Mr . Xia!"
Lin Jiage: "Very well . I just read the message you sent me, and it seems like you have some opinions you would like to raise to me . . . "
Xia Shangzhou: "No, definitely not! I don't have any opinions about you at all! Boss, you are my sky, my earth, and my air! How could I possibly have any opinions about you…"
Lin Jiage: "It's not as convenient to talk through texts, so if you don't mind, let's discuss this over the phone instead . It would be easier for us to get our views across that way . Alright, feel free to raise any opinions that you might have…"
Xia Shangzhou: "Daddy, I was wrong! I shouldn't have secretly sold two bottles of Mai Dong to our neighbors and used the money to buy duck neck…"
Lin Jiage: "Don't worry, I'll listen to any opinion that you have, so feel free to speak…"
Xia Shangzhou: "Alright then, Daddy . I admit . It wasn't two bottles, it was twenty bottles…But Lu Benlai was the one who came up with the idea! I'm just his accomplice…"
