After Su Ping entered the door, he did not move again, because this would give the three fellow students the greatest chance of rescue.

"Master Su, I am finally lucky enough to meet you today."

Next to the table in the middle of the room sat a woman whose clothing style was similar to Gu Liyue's, and her every smile, gesture and movement were very much like that of a lady from a noble family.

However, this woman's appearance was different from that of the people of Liyue. Her hair was golden, her facial features were very three-dimensional, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked at Su Ping with a smile.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Su." The woman stood up and made a gesture of invitation. Her beautiful face and decent dress made it easy for people to agree subconsciously.

But this time, she met Su Ping, a man with a quick mind and a lot of experience. He would not be fooled like this.

Su Ping's eyes flickered, he bowed with both hands, and said slowly: "I haven't asked you yet, what's your name, young lady?"

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes seemed to be filled with ripples, gentle and moving, "Master Su is well-versed in ancient and modern times, well-read in poetry and books, and is also a disciple of a saint. Don't you know that asking a woman's name will cause misunderstanding?"

"Of course I know that, but since the young lady invited me here, she must know me, so I won't introduce myself. But if I don't ask the young lady's name, I won't address her. I can't always call her Miss Liu, right?"

Su Ping spoke eloquently, saying something that seemed to make sense, but also seemed like nonsense.

The woman surnamed Liu smiled again, but her teeth were not showing and she covered her face with her hands, so people could not see her smile clearly. Only a slight laugh could be heard.

"As expected of you, you are Master Su. I almost believed what you said... Hehe, my surname is Liu Hui, and my father is the leader of a escort team under the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce."

Su Ping's pupils shrank slightly. He had heard of the name of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. It was the largest chamber of commerce in Liyue and had countless assets.

If you think in this way, even if it is just a escort team under his command, it should be a wealthy existence. After all, if you withhold the salary of your subordinates, you will definitely not be able to stay in business for long, and it is definitely not a smart move.

"Miss Liu, I wonder why you invited me here this time?" Su Ping stepped forward and walked to the side of the table. After learning the other party's identity, he was no longer afraid.

There was no need to doubt that the identity was forged. Anyway, as long as he asked, even if the woman's identity was fake, even if Su Ping was caught, he could leave some clues that people would pay attention to.

"Didn't I just say that it's not good to always address me as Miss Liu? What's this, Mr. Su?" Liu Hui blinked her eyes slightly, her smile was more pleasant than flowers.

Su Ping seemed unmoved and said calmly: "There is no construction without destruction. Even what I said is not absolutely correct. This is what I have realized now."

"So that's how it is." Liu Hui nodded slightly, not sure whether she really believed it or not. In any case, the matter of addressing her ended quietly even in the back and forth.

"Mr. Su also has the surname Su, but is he a relative or a distant relative of Mr. Dongpo?"

"Neither. I was born in an ordinary family." Su Ping sat on the chair opposite him and immediately felt that the wood was very expensive.

But a restaurant, no matter how magnificent it is, should not use such wood. So perhaps there is only one possibility, that is, this private room is custom-made and the decoration is also specially made.

Su Ping inexplicably sighed in his eyes, and then turned into determination. What others can have, he can have as well. He just needs to work hard in the future, and there is no need to sigh at this moment.

"That's Liu Hui being rude. I'll drink a glass of tea instead of wine to apologize, okay?" Liu Hui picked up the teacup and put it to her lips.

Su Ping shook his head and said calmly: "That's not necessary. It's just asking about your family background. It's not a big deal."

Liu Hui nodded and smiled, then stood up to make tea for him. She thought to herself that Su Ping was indeed a scholar that she had high hopes for. Even though he was only eight years old, his character was incomparable to that of ordinary people.

If Su Ping had lost his patience or was angry and started to curse, then Liu Hui would have only done one thing, which was to send him away.

While she was complaining in her heart, Su Ping was also thinking. He felt that the other party's invitation should not be without reason, and at least there should be something to talk about.

But things are hard to predict. After Liu Hui sat back in her seat, she just chatted for a few words and didn't mention anything like poetry at all. It was as if they were just chatting about family matters with each other who had known each other for many years.

Su Ping hesitated for a moment, but did not ask the reason. He just asked a question, "Three days ago, I received a... unique letter, and it was not signed. I wonder if it was written by Miss Liu?"

"This, was indeed written by me. But Master Su did not accept it that day, so I had to resort to this desperate measure. I hope you can forgive me." Liu Hui had a smile on her lips, like a gust of breeze that made people feel comfortable and relaxed.

Such a woman, if in a business office, would be a blooming money tree, and she would also be a good choice if she were to socialize with others.

But at this moment, she was just talking about insignificant things with a little intellectual who had a lot of bad reputation outside, and was still a child. This alone made people a little confused.

Looking at her attitude all along, although Liu Hui seems to be a bit playful and sarcastic, it is harmless. On the contrary, it is conducive to conversation and can serve as a bridge to build closer relationships.

Su Ping remained calm on the surface, but his mind was active. He roughly guessed the meaning of the woman's invitation.

Su Ping sipped the fine tea and said, "I am honored to be invited by Miss Liu. As for the graffiti on the letter... If you write again next time, you can tell me directly. I will accept it."

"Really?" Liu Hui's beautiful eyes revealed the innocence of a young girl. At this moment, she looked more in line with her age.

Su Ping nodded and said, "Really."

Putting aside the realization that the letter had given him, just based on the woman's friendly attitude and her family background and conduct, Su Ping had no reason to refuse to interact with her.

What's more, if he wants to refuse any contact, it seems like it should be the other party who makes the first move, and then he should cry bitterly as if he has been abandoned, right?

"Haha, then I'd like to thank Master Su first." Liu Hui nodded slightly, her pretty face filled with smiles. It was a pure smile, not a deliberately fake smile.

"No, it's just a small matter." Su Ping also smiled. He was originally in the business world and knew how to read people's expressions. Now that he understood the truth from the false, this sense of distinction became much clearer.

"It's a small matter for Mr. Su, but for me, it's a rare thing! By the way, has Mr. Su continued to create recently?" Liu Hui looked curious.

Su Ping touched his nose and said softly, "Yes, but I've been busy lately, so I've been lazy and slowed down a bit."

Liu Hui's eyes flickered, and she smiled and said, "When will it be published... Well, I have been waiting for Master Su's new work for a long time, and now I am looking forward to it even more!"

"That's undecided." Su Ping answered vaguely. After all, he really had no idea about his next work.

Maybe it was three to five months, or maybe even longer, but in any case, Su Ping couldn't write any poetry in recent times because his mind was really empty and he had no motivation to put pen to paper.

Liu Hui remembered Su Ping's casual answer and regarded it as a scholar's explanation of fate. The only difference was that she was convinced of it.

This is her respect for the literati in front of her. She is optimistic about the other party's work and will not be shaken by his family background, age, or other factors.

From this point of view, she is a determined woman and a lady with proper behavior, but her appearance is more like that of a Mond.

dong dong...

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Su Ping looked over immediately, and Liu Hui also looked towards the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Miss, I'm sorry to bother you. The three gentlemen who were traveling with Master Su just went downstairs to participate... to participate in the debate. Now it seems that they are a little defeated."

The woman who had been waiting outside the door continued, "Just now the three gentlemen told me to inform Master Su if I saw them raise their hands and stand up, and ask him to come and help."

"That's why I dare to disturb you."

Liu Hui closed her eyes slightly, not intending to ask for censure. Instead, she turned her head to look at the person opposite her. Seeing that Su Ping did not look unhappy, she said softly, "Master Su, please forgive me for not being strict enough."

Su Ping smiled. He could see what the other party was doing. If he had been unhappy just now, this woman would definitely protect the maid outside the door. However, seeing that he was calm and composed at the moment, she just found a way to back down.

This move of "taking advantage of the situation" was very clever. It not only saved the maid, but also provided an opportunity to test or investigate the other party.

In short, it is a business in which there will never be a loss.

Su Ping did not feel uncomfortable with such behavior. On the contrary, he admired the woman a little more. After all, it was rare for a girl who was only in her teens and came from a wealthy family to have such thoughts.

"It's okay, let's go downstairs and take a look." Su Ping waved his hand and followed her out of the box and down the stairs.

The hall full of people did not divert their attention because of the arrival of Su Ping and the two women beside him, because their attention was attracted by the eight people at the table.

Su Ping looked in that direction and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Liu Hui also raised her hand to cover her mouth, revealing a faint smile, with tenderness between her eyebrows, as if she had seen something very big.

I saw that at the table where Li Zide was originally standing, seven more people were added. They sat facing each other in fours. Under the gaze of everyone, when they opened their mouths, it was like a galaxy flowing out of their mouths, and their words were as bright as stars.

When he was excited, he would stomp his feet so hard that the whole table would shake three times, but the sound of this vibration was like a drop in the ocean in the midst of the verbal battle and had no effect at all.

Let it shake, let him curse, without wasting a moment.

Su Ping watched these scenes at the stairs, and he understood in his heart that the three senior students were so powerful, how could they look like they needed help?

There could only be one purpose for calling him down, and that was to let him enter in person, dispel all the doubts, and establish Su Ping's true reputation.
