Chapter 360 Eating
Xiao Cheng discovered that Bai Lu cherished the pearl hair clip, liking it more than any gift he had given her before.
It was as if a precious treasure, long lost and then rediscovered, had returned to her hands.
An overjoyed smile constantly graced her face, making her seem reborn.
Their emotions also became very distinct; they would laugh when they were happy and not laugh when they were unhappy.
His anger was also very obvious.
It was as if the hair clip was a giant protective umbrella, shielding her from all the storms, lightning, thunder, and raging winds, allowing her to be safe and sound under its protection, and to fly freely.
Do whatever you want.
If you don't want to do something, then don't do it.
Free and unrestrained, carefree, sunny and happy.
The pearl hair clip with seven stars surrounding the moon... perhaps it holds a special meaning for her.
Xiao Wei also noticed that when Bai Lu put on the hair clip, she became much more lively and cheerful than before, and her eyes curved like crescent moons when she smiled.
It's even more radiant than the sunshine.
Zhang San and Li Si felt it most clearly; today, the landlady was not only radiant but also incredibly enthusiastic.
The first thing I asked them was, "Have you eaten?"
"If you haven't eaten, come out and eat with us. The sun has set, everyone is cooking and eating at home, there aren't many customers coming to the store anymore, let's pack up and go home."
He left work early and then treated me to dinner.
Where can you find such a wonderful boss lady!
Zhang San and Li Si quickly tidied themselves up, sorted out the shop's accounts, and went to the banquet with the proprietress.
The boss's opinion is not important.
The default is agreement, a blank expression is also agreement, and the boss will agree with whatever the landlady says.
Zhang San and Li Si had already reached a consensus, understood each other perfectly, and knew which powerful figure to cling to.
Little did they know they were heading to a trap.
"Miss Yun, Mr. Wu, what a coincidence, are you also here for dinner?" Li Si sensed something ominous about an affair.
Yun Ruolin booked the best hotel in the city, Mingzhulou, and the seats were by the window with the best view.
Although Pingcheng is not as bustling as the big cities outside, and lacks the colorful lights at dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun shines through the branches and leaves onto the glass windows.
There is a kind of romance in the everyday life.
However, Yun Ruolin also brought along her staff, which added a touch of professional seriousness to the romance.
The answer was natural: "We've arranged to meet with Brother Cheng to discuss a new project, and we've booked the restaurant here."
Li Si, completely unaware of his superfluousness, suddenly nodded in realization: "That's great! We haven't eaten yet either. The boss and his wife are considerate of our hard work and invited us out to eat together."
"Miss Yun shouldn't mind, right? I'm sure she won't. Miss Yun has always been very generous." Zhang San already knew who Yun Ruolin was from their two previous calls, so he asked politely.
Polite and courteous.
It's irresistible.
Yun Ruolin naturally wouldn't refuse; her gaze wasn't even on Zhang San or Li Si.
Instead, it was the man opposite her who pulled out the chair for Bai Lu.
And the little boy who had been watching her intently from the moment she entered until she reached the dining table.
Her agreement over the phone was just a polite gesture; she never imagined that Xiao Cheng would actually bring his whole family.
"Has Miss Yun ordered yet?" Bai Lu asked politely with a smile.
"Not yet." Yun Ruolin replied politely, "I don't know what Brother Cheng likes to eat, so I'm thinking of waiting for him to come before ordering, so that it won't be to our liking and we won't have an unpleasant meal."
"Anything is fine." Xiao Cheng took the menu from Wu Qian and handed it to Bai Lu.
Bai Lu smiled sweetly as she accepted the gift, then asked Yun Ruolin with a smile, "Miss Yun, do you have any dietary restrictions? Cheng and I are the hosts today, so we can't let Miss Yun have an unpleasant meal. We must make sure everything is arranged so that Miss Yun can eat with peace of mind, be happy, and be satisfied, and not regret coming to Pingcheng as a guest."
The phrase "host" perfectly defines the roles of host and guest.
The hosts were very generous and tacitly catered to the guests' preferences.
After all, guests are just guests, they only stay once, so they need to be treated well.
Yun Ruolin narrowed her eyes slightly, her smile unchanged: "I'm fine with anything, I don't have any dietary restrictions."
Zhang San and Li Si smelled a hint of gunpowder.
Yun Ruolin was still wearing a white ankle-length dress today, her back view was beautiful, her long hair was flowing, and her words and actions were gentle and elegant, generous and proper, with the temperament of a lady from a prominent family that was different from others.
Pure white as jade, flawless and perfect, was Bai Lu's image before, and now it has become Yun Ruolin's standard.
Their forms are similar, but their charms are different.
If Bailu were dressed like this today, they would surely have a showdown and a winner would be decided.
Unfortunately, Bai Lu went for a domineering look today. Dressed in red, she was radiant and overshadowed everyone else, becoming the most dazzling highlight of the entire restaurant.
Zhang San and Li Si felt that there was no need to determine a winner or loser; the outcome was already in sight, under the spotlight of everyone's attention.
It was crowded during mealtime, and every seat was taken.
All eyes in the restaurant were on Bai Lu and Yun Ruolin at their table.
It was obvious that Bai Lu was the majority, and she was sitting inside, with Xiao Cheng blocking part of her view.
The outcome is obvious.
After Bailu finishes taking orders, she shows the dishes to the guests according to the established procedure, allowing them to add anything they like.
Yun Ruolin glanced at the menu, indicating that she had no objection to it, and added an extra bottle of red wine.
Freshly made food takes a relatively long time to cook.
While waiting, Zhang San, Li Si, and Wu Qian chatted about sales techniques. At first, it was just to keep the conversation from getting awkward, but as they talked, they found common ground and began to exchange ideas.
Yun Ruolin explained the new product and its upgraded features to Xiao Cheng...
In addition, the air conditioning company intends to enter the southern part of the city and has inquired with Xiao Cheng whether he is interested in becoming a distributor.
Xiao Wei didn't like the side dishes, so Bai Lu ordered a large bottle of coconut juice.
After pouring a glass for the little one, screw the cap on and place it in the middle of the table so anyone can drink from it.
There wasn't a single flaw in their manners.
Yun Ruolin watched as everything that shouldn't exist happened right before her eyes, a complex mix of emotions washing over her.
Xiao Wei noticed the unfriendly gaze and glared back without any attempt to hide it.
Just then, the waiter came to serve the food.
All communication ended, and Yun Ruolin nonchalantly withdrew her gaze from Bai Lu's face.
He raised his wine glass and clinked it with Xiao Cheng's.
"Brother Cheng, it's a pleasure doing business with you."
Although the final deal with the distributor was not reached, Yun Ruolin still wore a generous and appropriate smile.
The rim of the cup was three points lower than Xiao Cheng's.
Xiao Cheng glanced at the girl beside him with the same smiling face, took a small sip of red wine.
Yun Ruolin only took a small sip.
The red wine was poured by Wu Qian after he opened the bottle and let it breathe while Xiao Cheng and Yun Ruolin were discussing work.
After going around the circle, only Bailu's wine glass contained coconut juice.
Just a second before the red wine arrived, Xiao Cheng was still talking to Yun Ruolin when he had already taken Bai Lu's wine glass away.
Fill with coconut milk.
He simply said, "She doesn't drink."
Wu Qian dared not fall any further, nor could he fall any more. Yun Ruolin didn't say anything at the time.
I don't know if anyone has noticed this.
At this moment, I picked up my wine glass and headed towards White Dew.
