Qiao Chu, dressed in a waiter's uniform and sporting a fake mustache, pushed his luggage cart aside and made way for them.
Rong Yan glanced at him.
In an instant, Zhu Xiao spoke, diverting Rong Yan's attention.
"Who are you? How can you be so rude!"
Upon hearing this, Rong Yan withdrew her probing gaze and instead looked coldly at the strange man in front of her.
Who is this man?
Why was he able to enter Princess Nora's suite?
Just as Rong Yan was staring in astonishment at Zhu Xiao, Princess Nara, who was also standing at the door, looked down at her arrogantly and said coldly.
"I don't know you."
Realizing she had lost her composure, Rong Yan quickly put on a smile.
"Princess Nara, hello! I am Rong Yan, a friend of Assistant Zhang. She was stuck in traffic and was worried that you would be anxious because you were waiting for the flowers. So, she asked me to deliver the flowers to you first."
Princess Nara's voice remained somewhat cold, "Bring it in."
"Yes!" Rong Yan said, bowing slightly as if to the princess.
Zhu Xiao: "Honey, I'm leaving now!"
As he spoke, Zhu Xiao hugged Nara and kissed her on the cheek.
Princess Nora smiled sweetly, "Remember our promise tomorrow!"
Zhu Xiao made an OK sign and then left.
Qiao Chu, disguised, followed closely behind.
Rong Yan wanted to take a few more glances at the waiter behind the strange man, but Princess Nara's attendants urged her to go inside quickly.
"You know how to arrange flowers, right? Arrange all the flowers in the vase."
Rong Yan originally intended to put the flowers down and then go after them to see them, but unexpectedly, her attendant asked her to arrange the flowers.
In order to make a good impression on Princess Nora, she had no choice but to arrange the flowers first, and take a few more glances at the suite to see if she could find any clues.
...
Phew...that was close!
As expected, Rong Yan is truly cunning; she really did surround and ambush her!
Fortunately, Princess Nara helped them, and Qiao Chu and Zhu Xiao were able to leave safely.
After changing into the men's suit she had worn when she arrived, Qiao Chu rushed back to Diecuixuan.
She had already received Luo Luo's message that Rong Zhan had come to Diecuixuan and was sitting in a private room with Jiang Zhi.
...
Rong Zhan stared at Jiang Zhi with a probing look.
As one dish after another was served, he smiled and joked, "Mrs. Jiang truly has the flair of a master chef. She puts her heart into every dish she makes. Mr. Jiang is in for a treat."
Jiang Zhi's lips curled up slightly, but it was a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"President Rong is in for a treat today."
"It's because President Jiang didn't mind me sitting down for a meal that I had the opportunity to taste Mrs. Jiang's cooking. I'm just taking advantage of President Jiang's good fortune."
Jiang Zhi's expression was inscrutable. "President Rong, please try my wife's cooking first. I'm also very grateful to President Rong for putting my wife and me on such a high pedestal!"
"President Jiang is too modest!"
Jiang Zhi had already picked up his chopsticks and started eating, and Rong Zhan followed closely behind him.
The taste is indeed quite good.
After nodding slightly, Rong Zhan continued, "We already have a lot of dishes, so there's no need to cook any more. Let's invite Mrs. Jiang back to have dinner together."
"Guests are always welcome. My wife is very hospitable and should treat Mr. Rong with great hospitality. Since you're here, please try a few more dishes and give us some suggestions."
"Everything was delicious. Diecuixuan lives up to its reputation. I never expected Mrs. Jiang to be so elegant in the living room and so capable in the kitchen. She's truly remarkable!"
"Mr. Rong, you flatter me!"
...
Suddenly, Luo Luo came in and brought over a bottle of red wine.
"This was sent by our boss. Please enjoy yourselves, both of you presidents!"
Instantly, Rong Zhan's sharp, probing gaze shifted to Luo Luo.
This woman is very shrewd!
Rong Zhan still smiled, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I have a meeting this afternoon, so I won't be able to drink this wine. Please ask Manager Luo to thank Mrs. Jiang for me!"
Jiang Zhi chimed in, "There's still time before the afternoon, having a drink or two is fine. Coincidentally, I also have a meeting this afternoon."
In an instant, Jiang Zhi also gestured to Luo Luo to pour wine.
Rong Zhan's smile deepened, and he said slyly, "It's not very interesting for just the two of us men to drink. Let's drink again next time."
Luo Luo laughed and said very generously, "I'll drink with President Rong. You just need to enjoy your drink. Diecuixuan will definitely take good care of you."
Rong Zhan hesitated, and suddenly, Qiao Chu, who had returned to her original appearance, walked in carrying dishes.
"This is the last dish, stir-fried crab with scallions. Welcome, Mr. Rong, to try it."
Qiao Chuyang smiled sweetly.
She put down the dishes and sat down next to Jiang Zhi.
In that instant, Jiang Zhi kissed Qiao Chu.
"Honey, you've worked so hard! This glass is for you!"
"Okay! Cooking for my husband is not hard work at all, I'm very happy!"
...
Qiao Chu, Jiang Zhi, and Luo Luo all picked up their wine glasses.
Rong Zhan had no choice but to pick up his wine glass and toast with them.
Qiao Chu: "President Rong is a guest, so please eat and drink well. Our Diecuixuan is waiting for you to do our advertising."
Rong Zhan smiled and said, "Mrs. Jiang is so witty!"
Rong Zhan also scrutinized Qiao Chu carefully.
I noticed some small brown dots on the upper part of her skirt.
It must be vegetable stains that splattered while cooking.
She also smelled of cooking oil.
Only then did Rong Zhan believe that she was cooking in the kitchen.
...
It's been stuck in traffic for almost an hour before the road opens.
When Zhang Ying returned to the hotel, she learned that Princess Nara had canceled her appointment to pick up her dress from Joe that afternoon.
It was a bit strange, but Zhang Ying didn't say it directly.
"Princess Nora, you must have seen those rumors online, right? If we don't talk about the dress now, and don't check it first, what if your dress isn't very well made? That would be..."
"It should be fine. Fang Qiong trusts Director Qiao. They have a very pleasant working relationship and have even launched a co-branded shoe collection. I should trust her too."
"Just in case... I think we should prepare a backup plan, like an extra dress, just in case."
"No need to prepare anything, just wear JOE's haute couture gown to the socialite event. Assistant Zhang, I feel like you seem to have a bit of a prejudice against JOE's director, Qiao."
Zhang Ying's lips twitched involuntarily, and she immediately denied it.
"That's not true. I admire Director Joe very much, otherwise I wouldn't have recommended you to have a custom dress made by JOE. However, after seeing her design drafts and hearing what's circulating online, I have some concerns. In order to ensure that I can attend the socialite event smoothly, I was thinking of preparing an extra dress just in case."
“Your concerns are valid, but I don’t think it’s necessary. What’s circulating online might not be true. Assistant Zhang, it’s settled then. I’m going to wear Joe’s dress to the socialite event. I’m a little sleepy and want to rest for a bit. You can leave now.”
"yes!"
...
After leaving Princess Nara's suite, Zhang Ying immediately called Rong Yan.
"When you met Princess Nora, did she say anything? Was there anything unusual?"
Rong Yan said truthfully, "She didn't say anything. Her attendant asked me to arrange flowers, and she didn't even ask me a single question. However, when I arrived, I saw a strange man coming out of her suite with two huge suitcases."
