"How good can it be?" Xu Zhaoyue smiled. "I heard that Xu Zhaoming has always entertained guests at Western restaurants. It seems that she is more accustomed to the style of Western food than I am."
"You're right, besides the master's gift, you only gave her two other gifts, but she didn't even thank you. You've been back for so long and she hasn't even come to see you or say hello."
Xiao Nan complained in the car, and Yue Lanxing tried to pay a little attention to hear her clearly, while Xue Huzi was even more direct, almost turning his head to the back.
Xu Zhaoyue withdrew her gaze, turned around and looked at Xiaonan. "Giving a gift is my way of showing my appreciation. Of course, it's nice for both of us to be grateful, but I didn't expect her to be thankful. Besides, everyone says she's busy with company matters, so she must be tired."
"Hmm, I heard she'll be leaving early and coming back late tomorrow. She's in meetings at the company every day, and everyone there calls her Manager Xu." Xiao Nan often chats with the other maids in the villa, and they talk about almost everything unless it involves important matters.
"Manager Xu? Can't you just call me Manager Xu? 'Manager Xu' is such an awkward title." Xu Zhaoyue felt that if someone called her Manager Xu, wouldn't that be a constant reminder that she got the position through family connections?
Seeing the young lady's puzzled look, Xiao Nan kindly reminded her, "Miss, maybe when you go to the company, they'll call you Manager Xu."
"Ah? Oh, I remember now, I'm going to the company next week too." Xu Zhaoyue had been organizing company documents for the past two days, and only now, after Xiaonan's reminder, did she realize that she would have to go through the managers' tests before joining the company. Thinking about this, Xu Zhaoyue suddenly felt annoyed.
Xiao Nan quickly picked up on her mistress's mood. She knew her mistress was unhappy, and although she didn't know why, she saw that it was related to what they had just talked about, so Xiao Nan quickly changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, Miss spent a long time choosing the gift for Miss Chen. This is called a riddle-solving tool book. Miss played with several of them herself before choosing this one."
Xu Zhaoyue said with some pride, "Of course, Xiaoyun will definitely like it very much."
They chatted for a while until they reached their destination.
"Miss, we've arrived." Yue Lanxing parked the car, then got out and opened the door for Xu Zhaoyue.
Xu Zhaoyue got out of the car. "Hu Zi, you wait outside. Xiao Nan, take the gifts." As soon as they entered the restaurant, a waiter came to greet them. Xu Zhaoyue told him the table Chen Yun had reserved and they went up to the second floor without any problems.
"Miss, this is your reserved table. Would you like to order now or wait a moment?" The waiter led them to a four-person table and was about to pull out a chair for Xu Zhaoyue, but Yue Lanxing blocked him by stepping aside.
"Miss, where should I put the gift?" Xiao Nan was still holding the gift in her hands. There was only a four-seater here, and nowhere else to put things.
Before they could ask, the waiter pulled down a handle under the table, revealing a wire storage box. "Miss, you can put the gift here."
"Okay, thank you. We're waiting for someone, so we'll order later." Xu Zhaoyue thanked the waiter, and after the waiter left, she said to Xiaonan, "Put the gift on the chair opposite us. We can put it away ourselves later. You go and have dinner with Xue Huzi."
"Okay, Miss, I'll go downstairs now." Xiao Nan went downstairs happily. There were many snacks here, and they all tasted good. She could take Xue Huzi for a stroll.
"Ah, this is your bag, Miss. I almost forgot." Xiao Nan was just thinking about what to eat when she felt the pearl bag hanging on her wrist as her hands touched. She quickly returned and handed it to her mistress.
Yue Lanxing took a step forward and took the bag from her hand. "Just give it to me." After handing the bag to Yue Lanxing, Xiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief. She thought for a moment to make sure there were no other problems before leaving with peace of mind.
"Her, really, I thought that bag was hers. Here, take it." Xu Zhaoyue reached out and took the bag, placing it behind her back.
"You should sit down too. We're 15 minutes earlier than agreed, so it looks like we'll have to wait a while." Xu Zhaoyue saw that Xiao Nan had left, and then looked at Yue Lanxing, who was still standing, and tugged at his sleeve.
Yue Lanxing had already prepared himself mentally when he got out of the car, which is why he didn't dodge when Xu Zhaoyue tugged at his sleeve. After he sat down, he looked around at the surroundings. There were screens between each table, so he couldn't see clearly.
"This is different from the big table downstairs. There are only six seats at most here, and you can't see who's at the other tables because you're separated by a screen. So you absolutely mustn't say anything bad here, or you'll get caught if someone is sitting right next to you through the screen."
Xu Zhaoyue leaned her head close to Yue Lanxing and spoke in a very soft voice, as if she was really afraid of being overheard.
Yue Lanxing tilted her head to look at her, noticing the smile in her eyes, as if she had thought of something amusing. "Young Miss, you didn't actually say something bad here and the person involved heard it, did you?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Zhaoyue glanced at Yue Lanxing, her face clearly saying, "You can't wrong me like that," and her voice was reproachful. "I found out that Xu Zhaohao was talking badly about me."
Yue Lanxing asked curiously, "The young master would actually speak ill of you outside? Is that even possible?"
Xu Zhaoyue was in a good mood because she remembered some funny things from the past, so she patiently explained to Yue Lanxing, "When he was in the first year of high school, he often skipped classes. At first, none of us knew, and a group of people helped him cover it up."
“Once I was eating here when he came over with his gang. They talked a lot of nonsense, and in the end they said I treated him like a tigress.”
