Huo's parents left the capital.
In the airport waiting room, Xue Qiandai and Huo Yunchao saw them off.
Huo Shuisheng held Xue Qiandai's hand and said earnestly, "Dai Dai, after we old folks are gone, you should go to Kunyu Bay more often. You can't always be living apart. Besides, work is never-ending. You should enjoy a slower pace of life. Inner peace and joy are the most important things."
As expected of a highly educated intellectual, his words were full of profound meaning and hit the nail on the head regarding the pain points of contemporary urban youth.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll go see him whenever I have time," Xue Qiandai replied obediently.
Mr. Huo nodded. "Dai Dai, actually, we really hope you can change how you address me..."
Before she could finish speaking, Huo Shuisheng pretended to stomp on Yun Zhan's foot, saying, "Dai Dai is still young, only twenty-one years old. You're really obsessed."
Yun Zhan winced in pain, "Fine, fine, then let's play for a few more years?"
Xue Qiandai didn't react in time and looked to Huo Meiren for help in a daze. Huo Meiren smiled but remained silent.
The boarding announcement came on again, and Mr. and Mrs. Huo waved goodbye with a touch of reluctance. "Yun Chao, bring Dai Dai home for the New Year! Mom will make your favorite three-delicacy dumplings."
"Auntie, see you at the New Year." Anyway, Xue Qiandai has no home now, wherever Huo Mei is, that's home.
The two returned and headed towards the underground parking garage. Once in the car, Xue Qiandai fastened her seatbelt and asked, "Beautiful lady, what did your father mean by 'changing your address'?"
Huo Yunchao leaned towards Dai Dai, one hand on the back of her chair, "Dai Dai, it's our custom where we're from that to change how we address each other after the engagement. They probably think your aunt and uncle are too distant and want to hear you call them Mom and Dad."
Uh, the snow-white turned crimson, and Xue Qiandai's heart began to flutter again. She said "Oh," and lowered her eyes, her gaze gentle and tender.
Huo Yunchao lifted her chin, looking at her shy expression, and felt that the girl's former domineering CEO style was almost gone. He pressed his lips to hers, kissing her repeatedly; he hadn't properly kissed her since returning from Hangzhou.
"My beauty, we should go back now."
Huo Yunchao raised his peach blossom eyes, brushed a stray hair from his forehead, and smiled gently, saying okay.
The car started and headed towards the CBD.
"Dai Dai, Gao Qiang's case is going to a secret trial in two weeks. Do you want to go and watch?"
Xue Qiandai looked doubtful. "Is the evidence conclusive? It's hard to convict someone based on just a confession."
Yes, his little girl is smart. "There are also witnesses, and more than one."
What price did Huo Meiren pay to persuade those women to come forward and testify? Xue Qiandai dared not ask. "I won't go, I'll just watch it on the news. Huo Meiren, you are my hero."
Huo Yunchao hadn't expected her to accuse him of such a serious crime, but he was in a good mood. "Those who offend Dai Dai, though far away, shall be punished."
Xue Qiandai's eyes sparkled again; such a beautiful woman, she wanted to pounce on her.
The car was speeding along, and there was nothing I could do, but it was good to have him by my side.
"There's one more thing. Chaoxun is moving soon. After Huotuan went online, the number of employees surged, and the offices here are almost full. Some people have already moved to Zhongguancun."
Zhongguancun, located in Haidian District in the northwest of Beijing, is known as China's Silicon Valley. The CBD, located in Chaoyang District in the east of Beijing, is also part of the city.
When are you moving?
"I think it will take another two or three months."
Xue Qiandai finally breathed a sigh of relief. The thought of being so far away from Huo Meiren made her heartbroken.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the W Hotel, and Huo Yunchao parked in the temporary parking space.
I didn't want to part ways; I wanted to talk to her some more. "Dai Dai, if you're not delivering coffee now, what are you mainly doing at the coffee shop?"
Mentioning this, Xue Qiandai became animated again. "Yes, promoting coffee, mainly online. Expanding our corporate clientele, primarily targeting the CBD area. Also, I'm drafting the franchise terms for Lightyear Coffee. We want to open coffee shops all over the country."
Huo Yunchao thought for a moment and said, "You can team up with W Hotel to hold a press conference. The franchise can target only five-star hotels, focusing on five-star hotel coffee delivery. Huotuan can also endorse it. You know, Starbucks basically stops taking orders after 7 pm. If you start taking orders an hour earlier in the morning and stop taking orders an hour later in the evening, you will be very competitive."
So, Huo Meiren is offering her advice and strategies! And they're particularly targeted.
Xue Qiandai climbed over from the passenger seat, cupped Huo Meiren's face in her hands, and kissed him, their breaths mingling. Her long, narrow eyes were moist and shimmering. "My beauty, I really want to know what the structure of your brain is like. How can you know everything? I love you to death."
"Love me, then come home with me tonight."
Ahhh, Xue Qiandai couldn't take it anymore. She stepped back and said, "I'll think about the press conference. I'm leaving now, my beauty. Love you."
She blew a kiss with a "bold and unrestrained" air, watching the Mercedes disappear from sight.
"Dai Dai!" A call broke the silence. Xue Qian Dai saw Jin Heng walking towards her, with a... zongzi (rice dumpling) by his side.
The "zongzi" part is an exaggeration; in fact, the person isn't fat at all, on the contrary, has a very sculpted figure. However, the person is fully covered in a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask. There's also an assistant who looks like a professional manager next to the "zongzi"?
“What a coincidence, I…” Xue Qiandai pointed to the W Hotel, “I’m going in now, bye-bye.”
“It’s quite a coincidence,” Jin Heng smiled, his eyes bright. “I was also going to the W Hotel with my business partner. Let me introduce you, she is…”
Before he could finish speaking, "Devil Zongzi" stepped forward, took off his glasses, and said, "Hello, I am Su Qianhui, Qian as in Xue Qiandai, and Hui as in Lanzi Huizhi."
She's the top celebrity who tagged @LightYearCoffee online, sending a message from afar and helping the coffee shop trend on social media! However, this wasn't what surprised Xue Qiandai; what surprised her was that she knew Xue Qiandai and how she introduced herself.
The "Qian" in Xue Qiandai.
"Since we've run into each other, why don't we go in for a drink? Our Gold Coffee is newly launched, and it matches your status as a top influencer perfectly," Xue Qiandai said, not forgetting to promote herself.
Su Qianhui covered her mouth and laughed, even though she was still wearing a mask. Her eyes sparkled, and she had a unique charm. "It wasn't a chance encounter. I came here specifically for Lightyear Coffee, and checking into the W Hotel was just a side trip."
This is high praise for the coffee shop. Since everyone who comes is a guest, Xue Qiandai's reaction was quite indifferent, lacking the enthusiasm of a star-struck fan; she politely gestured for them to enter.
Su Qianhui's assistant, who was actually her agent, gave her a look and said, "Qianhui, let's check in first, so that the media won't find out and cause another stir."
Top celebrities should maintain a low profile and cherish their reputation.
"Sister Ling, you go check in first. Mr. Jin and I are going to grab a coffee. Want me to bring you one? What flavor would you like?"
The agent, who was called Sister Ling, reluctantly answered "Hazelnut Latte".
And so, Su Qianhui and Jin Heng, accompanied by Xue Qiandai, entered Lightyear Cafe.
