Miss Zhao is a very upright girl, quick-witted and speaking her mind. She blurted out, "You're incredibly handsome, even the prince on a white horse isn't as handsome as you."
Lan Shan immediately withdrew his hand.
Is this a confession? A prince, huh?! Lanshan doesn't consider herself a prince at all. "Um, what brings you here? Don't you have work? You seem so free."
Judging from his tone, it sounded like she was just idling around. Zhao Jiening smiled and said, "Someone tipped me off! How could I miss such a wonderful performance?"
Lan Shan pinched his fingers and corrected her, "This isn't a performance; the coffee shop is open for business. You haven't answered my question yet!"
Ms. Zhao pouted, seemingly unconcerned about skipping work. "Well, the company is owned by my family. I can go to work when I want to, and I can skip work when I don't want to."
Okay, you win.
Ms. Zhao's actions perfectly illustrate what it means to be "rich and willful." Oh no, it's more like "having a company to rely on."
But Lan Shan thought about it and felt relieved; after all, she lived in a big villa. He actually knew two rich young ladies who lived in big villas and owned companies. There was also Xue Qiandai from the past.
Life's encounters are truly wondrous.
The two sat in silence, neither speaking, their breaths audible to each other.

Inside the coffee shop, You Duoduo looked out through the door and said to the owner, "Sister Yu, I feel very bloated and uncomfortable."
Jin Xiangyu touched his stomach; it wasn't much more swollen than usual, but she still said, "Hurry up and go to the toilet!"
You Duoduo didn't move, looking quite aggrieved. "I'm just stuffed with dog food. Sister Yu, they're all taken, only me, the golden single dog!"
Could you please remove the gold? Doesn't gold have any dignity?
But as the boss, how could Jin Xiangyu be so harsh on her employees? "Duoduo, you should work hard with Sister Yu. When you buy a house, you won't be able to find any kind of woman."
"I can't find a woman who lives in a villa."
I'm sorry, but You Duoduo is just that honest. Miss Zhao lives in a villa. He feels he'll never marry a woman like Miss Zhao in his entire life.
Brother Lan is incredibly lucky.
Can you please stop dreaming in broad daylight? This is the first time Jin Xiangyu has been so thoroughly roasted by You Duoduo that she's questioning her very existence.

Xue Qiandai and Jian Yan returned, and from a distance, they spotted the beautiful couple under the sycamore tree. They actually looked quite well-matched.
Thus, this scene unfolded: two girls stood under a sycamore tree ten meters away, facing Blue Mountain.
"How did Senior Yuan's interview go yesterday?"
Speaking of this, Jian Yan said proudly, "Of course I was hired. Senior Yuan is so talented."
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; I won't expose you.
Xue Qiandai then said, "Tonight, I'm going to Mei's house."
"This is a bit of a leap," Jian Yan said with an "Oh."
"What a blockhead! I meant you can invite Senior Yuan over. Now that the relationship is official, you should give it a try. If it doesn't work, you can always return it!"
Jian Yan: "..."
Xue Qiandai, a seasoned driver, truly lives up to her name and deserves it.
"Dai Dai!" Jian Yan's face turned bright red, down to the tips of her ears.
"Please be mindful of the bathroom. I'm a germaphobe, so please clean it thoroughly after you're done," Xue Qiandai added, delivering another blow.
That hurts, Jian Yan.
"Dai Dai, isn't this a bad idea before the wedding?"
"Thinking so far ahead," Xue Qiandai chuckled. "Jian, are you an old lady from the last century who wore foot-binding cloths? What era are we living in! This is the responsible attitude towards future marriage."
Jian Yan said "Oh" again.
You can't ask anymore.

Lan Shan, whose thoughts were wandering elsewhere, finally noticed the two girls. Feeling caught red-handed, he stood up and said to the person next to him, "You should go back."
Zhao Jiening exclaimed "Huh?" and reached out her hand for him to pull her away, a playful smile on her face. "Are you trying to get rid of me? Don't you like me being with you? You seem so vulnerable right now."
Do you like it? I don't know. Lan Shan still pulled her up, then said with a very upright worldview, "I'm not fragile, I'm incredibly strong." His hand had almost fully recovered, and he even showed off his biceps. "If you don't work hard, you'll just have to go home and inherit the family fortune."
Wait, what kind of logic is this? It's clearly only through hard work that one has a chance to inherit wealth; that's how it is in wealthy families.
“Let me translate for you,” Xue Qiandai walked over. “What Lanshan means is that only those who work hard can control their own destiny. Conversely, those who are mediocre and lazy can only passively accept the arrangements of fate. Lanshan, am I right?”
“Bingo.” Blue Mountain praised, “Dai Dai is like ice and snow.”
Zhao Jiening tilted her head and looked at Lan Shan again. If she wanted to be Lan Shan's girlfriend, there would be considerable resistance from her family, if not a lot of people opposed it.
Looks like we really need to work harder.
"Ru Feng, I'll head back now. I'll come find you this weekend, and we can compete together! Good luck!"
Lan Shan nodded, watching Miss Zhao leave. Miss Zhao turned back every three steps, clearly reluctant to leave.
There was a sweet and sour scent of love in the air.
Blue Mountain raised its hand again, shining it in the sunlight. There, too, was a sweet and sour taste.

At 7 p.m., a Mercedes-Benz pulled up outside the coffee shop.
Xue Qiandai slung her small bag over her shoulder and cheerfully greeted everyone: "Sister Yu, I'm leaving. Goodbye Lanshan, goodbye a lot! Jane, good luck!" She made a phone call gesture.
"Bye-Bye."
Xue Qiandai, like a fledgling swallow, crashed headfirst into the Mercedes-Benz.
"Slow down, no rush." Huo Meiren smiled, her expression full of doting affection.
Xue Qiandai patted her face and fastened her seatbelt. "I can't wait to see you. Shall we eat at home?"
Huo Yunchao stepped on the gas. "Dai Dai, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. So, let's eat out today, and also pack some for Xue Shi."
What do I do when I start missing him even before we've parted ways? Although we don't see each other every day now, just thinking about him in that building makes me feel close to him. Conversely, once we're apart, it feels like we're separated by thousands of miles.
Xue Qiandai gave a muffled hum, "Where are we going? Will it take a long time?"
At this time, traffic in the CBD is already congested. Cars are moving very slowly. "This will continue for two weeks. I'm attending an internet conference in Wuzhen. In addition, I will be holding presentations in Shanghai, Hangzhou, and several core cities in the Pearl River Delta about the launch of Huotuan."
Xue Qiandai understood. "What should I do if I miss you?"
While waiting at a red light, Huo Yunchao looked intently at her: "Dai Dai, text me if you miss me. And tonight, my time is all yours."

In the coffee shop, Jian Yan excitedly dialed Yuan Mu's number.
The call was answered quickly. "Hello, Xiaoyan, I was just about to call you to let you know what happened today."
Wow, he's already showing the awareness of a boyfriend. Good job, that deserves praise. "Do you have time tonight?"
Jian Yan asked.
"I was just about to tell you that we're having a team-building event tonight, with everyone from the magazine having dinner together, and they're welcoming me to the team."
