Lei Ting and An Ning successfully signed the contract for the baking training school's auxiliary materials. Chong Lou then sent Brad and Sap away. Lei Ting flirted with An Ning in Chong Lou's office, blowing air into her ear.

An Ning: "Thunder, you're so annoying..."

Thunder: "Don't you like it?"

An Ning: "I like it..."

Anning cupped Leiting's face, about to kiss him, when Chonglou returned, pushed open the door and entered. Anning immediately pushed Leiting away, and Chonglou covered his eyes as he came in to take the contract and start shipping.

Thunder: "Wait a moment before you leave..."

Chonglou: "I didn't see anything, Mr. Lei. This sofa of mine can unfold into a bed..."

Thunder: "Hey kid, come here, I have a few words to tell you."

Chonglou moved over, and Leiting spoke to him very seriously.

Lei Ting: "Chonglou, remember this if you encounter someone like this again that you can't handle: don't just give them any offer. If we had made that offer earlier, we would have been in a much more passive position. Got it?"

Chonglou: "President Lei, can I just focus on treating people and delegate these other tasks to others?"

Lei Ting: "Of course, I will have Guo Fan send someone experienced to assist you. In the meantime, you will also need to learn the intricacies of the workplace."

Chonglou: "Alright, since President Lei has high hopes for me, I'll just read more books on psychology."

Lei Ting: "That's right. Mr. An and I are going to have dinner. Why don't you come with us?"

Chonglou: "Okay."

Lei Ting glanced at An Ning. An Ning knew that Lei Ting was just being polite. She didn't expect that Chong Lou, such a sincere child, would take it seriously. An Ning took Lei Ting's hand and suggested that they go together. Lei Ting thought that this child was really honest. A person who is both honest and sincere is not suitable for navigating the business world. He should quickly send someone to assist him, otherwise the New Jin Chinese Medicine Shop will not make any money.

An Ning: "Chonglou, is it okay if we have hot pot?"

Chonglou: "Okay."

Thunder: "You little rascal, you really need a girlfriend to keep you in check. Let's go to Chinatown for hot pot."

Chonglou: "Thank you, General Manager Lei and General Manager An."

An Ning: "Haha, let's go."

Lei Ting and An Ning had an extra third wheel at dinner today. Chong Lou didn't feel like a third wheel; Lei Ting and An Ning's familiar accent made him feel very close to them. At the hot pot restaurant, Lei Ting added food to An Ning's plate and wiped her mouth, while Chong Lou ate happily on the side. This hot pot restaurant was expensive; a plate of mutton cost several hundred yuan. Chong Lou usually couldn't afford to eat at such an expensive place.

Chonglou: "Hehe, how much did this meal cost, Mr. Lei?"

Thunder: "I can still afford to treat you to hot pot. Eat more; it's not easy being away from home."

Chonglou: "Thank you, President Lei. I haven't missed home at all since I've been here for so long."

Anning: "Don't your parents urge you to find a girlfriend?"

Chonglou: "Push me, you can urge me, but I won't listen. I have to prioritize my career."

An Ning: "Haha, you're not telling the truth. You're only telling us half the truth. Aren't you going to tell us the truth?"

Chonglou: "Hehe, President An is really smart. I haven't met a suitable girl yet. If I do, I'll try to date her."

Thunder: "What kind of girl are you looking for?"

Chonglou: "I don't know either. There's no standard. Maybe fate will bring us together someday."

Anning: "You're still young. Take your time and you'll meet the right girl eventually."

Chonglou: "Mmm...hehe..."

Despite Chonglou being a third wheel, the meal was still quite enjoyable. After dinner, Chonglou went back to the Chinese medicine shop to prepare pills for Qiya'er. Leiting and Anning strolled around Chinatown. They had been to Chinatown several times, but each time something unexpected would disrupt their date. Today, however, nothing happened, and Anning was very happy. She wore a Minnie Mouse hat and gave Leiting a Mickey Mouse hat. The two played ball in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

An Ning: "Haha, Lei Ting, how old are we... still playing such childish games..."

Thunder: "I really want to protect you for the rest of my life so you never have to grow up, and be this happy forever."

Anning: "Let's go, let's go to the jewelry store."

Thunder: "Okay..."

After leaving Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, the two arrived at a jewelry store in Chinatown. Lei Ting's noble status made him the center of attention wherever he went, and any jewelry they touched was immediately bought. An Ning bought several simple earrings that she liked. After browsing for half a day, just as An Ning and Lei Ting were happily about to go home, Ollie and Viya came up from behind and called out to Lei Ting.

Ollie: "Oh, Baron Thunder, what are you doing here?"

Thunder: "Ugh, why are you guys everywhere..."

Lei Ting hid behind An Ning, and Aoli and Viya shrugged at his attitude.

Viya: "We ran into you by chance. We came to buy headdresses for the children at the welfare home. We didn't expect to see you here too."

Anning: "Is it a welfare home designated by the royal family to take care of those displaced during the war?"

Ollie: "Yes."

Anning: "Where is the donation channel for the welfare home? I would like to do my part."

Viya: "You're so kind. As the Thunder Baron, I can take you to a charity gala next Saturday on the island in the middle of the lake."

An Ning: "OK, thank you."

Olivia: "Please give us the Thunder Baron as a thank you gift."

An Ning: "Thunder, slip away and run."

Thunder: "Run!"

Lei Ting picked up An Ning and ran off. The driver opened the door for them. Aoli and Viya didn't catch up. The driver stepped on the gas and drove away from Chinatown, heading towards the courtyard. An Ning, sitting in the car, felt a little sad.

Thunder: "Phew, these two are actually quite serious today."

An Ning: "The royal family of Bei Aiguo is very loving and pays great attention to human rights. Although some people in the royal family are open-minded, they are kind-hearted and never stingy with donations."
