Ling Ran was a step behind, but he quickly caught up. Looking at the dim and humid working environment, he hugged his wife distressedly, "Okay, okay, it's different now, forget it!"

Zhou Xiang took a deep breath. Yes! It was different now. His temper in this life was different too. With this different temper, he also hated her for being cowardly in his previous life. He hated her for not fighting, for being timid, and for showing that women were weak.

Leaving the warm embrace, she raised her head and said, "I can't forget. I have to always remember my past stupidity so that I can live soberly in the present."

Ling Ran nodded, "Okay! Then, shall we go out?"

"Yeah! It's time to take your seat."

The two walked out of the back alley of the kitchen. Yes, this used to be the back alley of the kitchen. The contractor took it and made it two meters wide, built walls, and covered it with a roof, and it became the kitchen.

Zhao Yun and the four chefs breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran come out looking their best. Which restaurant doesn't have some particularly dirty areas? The back door had even been specially cleaned today.

"Thank you, Madam Boss, for clearing up my confusion. I should go and take my place."

Zhao Yun smiled awkwardly, "Shall I take you there?"

"No need, we can just go with everyone else, you go ahead and do your work!"

"good!"

Zhao Yun responded and still escorted him to the hotel gate.

Seeing Zhou Xiang finally come out, Yu Si hurried forward and said, "Miss Zhou, it's time to take your place."

"Auntie, you are Ji Bin's mother, just call me Zhou Xiang."

Yu Si smiled and nodded, "Okay! Zhou Xiang, Ling Ran, let's go to the other side together?"

"Yes! Auntie, Principal Ji, you go first."

While Yu Si was hesitating, Ji Zhongcheng had already pulled her across the street. Given Zhou Xiang's current status, she had to maintain the image of respecting her teacher.

Zhou Xiang asked the bride and groom to go first, and then she and Ling Ran went with her third brother Xiao Chunmei.

Guofang Road, because a national highway passes through Huai County, there are many restaurants and hotels on both sides.

Opposite the Sijiqing Hotel is a bank, one of the four major banks directly under the state. It is a good company with good benefits, and it has a lot of large buildings and houses.

The business building facing the street is an old four-story building. The old age of the building does not mean that the interior decoration is old-fashioned.

Go around the main door on the north side of the first floor and turn left to reach the stairs to the second floor. Go up the stairs and the entire second floor is the large conference room.

At this moment, in the 600-square-meter conference room, the oval conference table in the middle disappeared, and the space facing the door was completely empty. Going inside the door, there were first two relatively large main tables, and then ten rows of three ordinary dining tables.

At this time, Principal Ji was staring at the 32 dining tables covered with tablecloths and placed with tableware. He didn't order so many tables!

"What's wrong?"

After Zhou Xiang and others came in, Ji Bin asked his dazed father.

Principal Ji turned around and saw Zhou Xiang, then he realized that this must be a joint effort of the hotel and the bank.

"It's okay, the dinner is about to start, you guys should greet the guests at the door!"

"good!"

How could Ji Bin not notice that the number of tables exceeded? Since his father said it was okay, then it was okay.

Zhou Xiang, Ling Ran and his third brother Xiao Chunmei wanted to go inside and take a seat, but were stopped by Principal Ji.

"Zhou Xiang, you know what a big scene today is, don't you? All of this is definitely coming for you. Moreover, with your current status, you should sit at the head table."

Zhou Xiang shook his head. "I don't believe it. The main table is for the host family's elders, relatives, and friends. My wedding was held at home, so the three tables in the dining room had to be arranged that way. The worst that could happen is that I could sit in the VIP seat."

Principal Ji smiled and said, "Okay, you can sit at the table in the middle!" He raised his hand and pointed to the table close to the main table.

"All right!"

Zhou Xiang took his third brother and the others to sit at the middle table in the first row. Not long after they sat down, people came into the temporary banquet hall one after another.

Zhou Xiang faced the gate and saw Ran Qiming with an elegant beauty and a little beauty in his arms. He raised his hand and waved to him, "Teacher Ran, sit here!"

Ran Qiming came over with the beauties, big and small, and Zhou Xiang and the other three stood up.

"Zhou Xiang, come here, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Zhao Dongli, and the one in my arms is my daughter, Ranran."

Zhou Xiang smiled sincerely, "Hello, Master's wife! Hello, beautiful Ranran!"

"Miss Zhou Xiang, I've heard of your great name for a long time!"

Zhao Dongli's tone was humorous, and the sincere smile on Zhou Xiang's face made her forget the unfamiliarity of their first meeting. Moreover, she knew Zhou Xiang very well!

When her husband talked about this student, he did so with gritted teeth and a smile on his face, which made her curious about this naughty student. Her curiosity was especially heightened after she saw it on the news.

Now that I've seen her, my curiosity has only grown. How could such a delicate girl have the energy to shoulder such a heavy burden and resist a big family like the Kong family?

"Master's Wife, please just call me Zhou Xiang. I have heard of your great name for a long time, and I hope that all you hear are words of praise."

These words made Zhao Dongli burst into crisp and joyful laughter. How could her husband be so angry at such a humorous and witty student?

"It's a mixed bag! Maybe the people I heard it from were more affected by it, or maybe it's because of different perspectives and standpoints."

As she said this, she glanced at her husband beside her with a reproachful look.

Zhou Xiang chuckled, "Teacher's wife, Teacher Ran has a very good temper. Looking back, if I were in her shoes, I would have punished her corporally."

Ran Qiming looked back at his lover proudly. His student still protected him.

At this moment, the little girl of four or five years old in Ran Qiming's arms responded to Zhou Xiang's greeting with a curious look, "Hello, beautiful sister!"

Zhou Xiang smiled even more happily, "Oh! They say children's eyes are the brightest. Little girl Ranran saw my inner beauty through my appearance. I am so proud!"

Ran Qiming pretended to vomit, "Are you going to let us have the banquet?"

Zhao Dongli hit him lightly.

Ran Ran nodded in agreement, "Yes, my eyes are bright, I see your beautiful heart."

Ouch! Zhou Xiang's big eyes were all smiling. She pushed the chair away, walked around her third brother and Xiao Chunmei, and came to Ran Qiming. She stretched out her hand to Ran Ran, "I feel like I have found a confidant in life. Come, sit with me!"

Ran Ran reached out her hand to Zhou Xiang, who immediately pulled her out of her father's arms. "Let's go! Let's sit together, beautiful ladies. I'll give you something delicious later!"

"good!"

The milky scent on Zhou Xiang's body was the reason why Ranran was willing to approach her.

Ran Qiming and Zhao Dongli were both extremely surprised, because their daughter hated being hugged by outsiders.

After Zhou Xiang pushed Ling Ran away and placed Ran Ran between them, Ran Qiming and Zhao Dongli came back to their senses, "Ran Ran, we shouldn't sit at this table."

Ranran was a little hesitant, and Zhou Xiang raised his hand and waved, "Of course you can sit here. Teacher Ran was my former homeroom teacher. However, if you don't like it if someone comes to disturb our meal later, you can change tables. Anyway, Ranran is going to sit with me, right? Ranran."

Ran Ran nodded immediately, "Yes, I want to sit with my sister."
