Synopsis:
The biggest fun for the overworked employee Xia Wenxi every day is...
Xia Wenxi didn't mean anything by it; she just said it offhand. But after she looked at the fish in Lin Shen's bucket, she suddenly realized that her words were a bit sarcastic.
The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment. Xia Wenxi gave an awkward laugh and said, "Brother, Mr. Lin, you two go fishing. I don't like fishing. I'm going to go play first."
Xia Wensheng glanced at his sister, wanting her to stop talking, as the more she spoke, the more sarcastic and unpleasant it sounded.
Xia Wenxi received Xia Wensheng's signal, threw the fish into the bucket, shook her wet hands and was about to say something when she saw Lin Shen turn and leave.
Xia Wenxi glanced at Xia Wensheng and gestured with her eyes, as if to say: Is President Lin so petty? He's getting angry just because the fish he caught wasn't as big as mine?
Xia Wenxi was focused on giving Xia Wensheng meaningful glances and didn't notice Lin Shen handing her two tissues.
"Miss Xia's achievements are truly enviable."
"Oh, not at all, this is just my newbie protection period! It's all luck. Thank you, Mr. Lin!"
Xia Wenxi took the tissue Lin Shen handed her and wiped her hands, inwardly cursing herself for being so petty. What a kind person President Lin is! And clearly much more perceptive than Xia Wensheng.
"How about we have someone bring another fishing rod over and see how long Miss Xia's 'newbie protection period' lasts?"
"No, no."
Xia Wenxi waved her hand. She wasn't here to fish today, and neither were Xia Wensheng and Lin Shen. It was inconvenient for her to be here, even though Xia Wensheng probably wouldn't understand...
Xia Wenxi strolled away, and Lin Shen said to Xia Wensheng, "Your sister is quite interesting."
Lin Shen is a man whose name means "person". For a moment, Xia Wensheng couldn't tell whether he was being sincere or sarcastic, so he just laughed it off and said, "Kids are all like that."
The resort was very large. Xia Wenxi got tired after wandering around for a while and was thinking about finding a place to rest when she saw a staff member carrying a barbecue grill passing by. She asked and found out that you could rent a barbecue grill here and barbecue yourself!
Xia Wenxi was immediately intrigued. She rented a barbecue grill, bought a lot of ingredients, and asked the staff to help her find a deserted spot by the river. Then she started cooking on her own.
Sitting by the river, sipping a small Coke, smelling the aroma of barbecue, and enjoying the gentle breeze, Xia Wenxi felt that this trip had been worthwhile.
Having a barbecue by the river was something she had always wanted to do, and she was a little excited that it had suddenly come true. In her excitement, she didn't pay attention and ate too much.
When Xia Wensheng called to invite her to lunch, Xia Wenxi was so full that she was wandering around the barbecue grill and had no appetite for lunch.
"I'm not eating anymore, I've already eaten."
"I've already eaten. Where did you eat?"
Xia Wenxi let out a burp, looked around, and then told Xia Wensheng, "I don't know how far west of where you guys were fishing, I ate barbecue, which I grilled myself."
"You grill it yourself? When did you learn how to grill meat? Be careful of food poisoning!"
While on the phone, Xia Wensheng rubbed his temples, feeling that no matter what, his sister was always causing him trouble. He had brought Xia Wenxi out today, and if she ended up in the hospital again, his parents would give him trouble once more.
"I'm not stupid. We're all cooked before eating. Don't look down on me. You guys go eat by yourselves and leave me alone."
Xia Wenxi hung up the phone after she finished speaking. She had already inquired and found out that you could go boating on the lake here. Jinghu Villa was named after Jinghu Lake. She planned to rest for a while and then go there.
Xia Wenxi was resting with her eyes closed, wearing headphones, half-reclined on a chair, when she was woken up by a familiar voice.
When Xia Wenxi opened her eyes, she saw Xia Wensheng and Lin Shen, one wearing a white coat and the other a black coat, looking like the Black and White Impermanence. Xia Wenxi thought that the King of Hell had sent someone to take her away.
While Xia Wenxi was still in a daze, Lin Shen had already walked to the barbecue grill, taken off his coat, and started working. The barbecue ingredients provided by the resort were all skewered, and many of the meats were marinated in advance. If you were to grill them yourself, you only needed to control the heat and sprinkle some barbecue seasoning.
Lin Shen was skilled and practiced. He could seamlessly switch clothes and put on a small hat to start working at the night market stall. With his good looks, he could even be crowned the most handsome barbecue guy.
Xia Wenxi sat not far away, looking at the sizzling meat skewers on the rack, and then at Lin Shen's bulging arm muscles as he flipped the skewers, and suddenly felt a little hungry again.
Xia Wenxi's barbecue is completely skillless; you just need to make sure the meat is cooked through. But Lin Shen is different; his movements are very professional.
Xia Wensheng couldn't get involved at all, and was too embarrassed to sit down and wait to eat, so he simply stood aside and watched. Xia Wenxi stood up and moved closer to Xia Wensheng, whispering, "Is Lin's Group a catering company?"
Xia Wensheng looked at her as if she were an idiot, then said to Lin Shen, "I never expected that President Lin would have such culinary skills. It seems we are in for a treat today."
"It's just a personal hobby," Lin Shen said, picking up a skewer of grilled beef and handing it to Xia Wenxi. "Ladies first."
Xia Wenxi didn't stand on ceremony. After saying thank you, she took the food and started eating. Then she regretted eating what she had grilled herself. She should have saved room for Lin Shen's grilling.
"This is so delicious! Mr. Lin could open a barbecue restaurant."
"Hmm, I can consider it."
Xia Wensheng helped pick up the grilled meat skewers, plate them, and place them on the folding table next to him. Lin Shen took out a few fish from the bag after grilling the meat.
Lin Shen pointed to the largest one and asked Xia Wenxi, "Miss Xia, do you recognize this fish?"
"This..." Xia Wenxi hesitated, "Could it be the one I caught?"
Lin Shen smiled and nodded, "That's the one. If it weren't for Miss Xia, we wouldn't have been able to have such a big fish for lunch today."
After putting his things away, Xia Wensheng turned around and saw Lin Shen and Xia Wenxi chatting and laughing. A strange feeling welled up in his heart. He wanted to grasp it, but the feeling quickly slipped away, so quickly that he didn't even have time to think about it.
Finally, most of the big fish ended up in Xia Wenxi's stomach, who had already said she was full. Of course, Xia Wenxi also provided plenty of emotional value.
"Mr. Lin, you are truly capable in both business and domestic life, you are amazing!"
The girl narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, as if she had found some treasure, and didn't forget to give Lin Shen a thumbs up.
"Miss Xia, you flatter me."
Lin Shen likes to cook not because he likes to eat, but because cooking is his way of relaxing. However, he doesn't cook often because he is too busy with work.
To be honest, very few people have ever eaten his cooking. He usually cooks for himself. Today, he felt that the sense of accomplishment from having his food praised was greater than the satisfaction of eating it himself.
Just after they finished eating, Xia Wensheng and Lin Shen's assistant came looking for them.
"Mr. Ji from the Bosch Group is also here. He heard that you two are here and would like to invite you and Mr. Lin to have dinner together tonight."
"I'm not going, no need to bother with me."
Xia refused without hesitation, and his assistant responded and left. Lin Shen's assistant was still waiting for news from his boss.
"I have plans for tonight."
Lin Shen's assistant naturally understood what he meant by saying that.
