Xue Qiandai chose the location for lunch at a congee restaurant. There were no private rooms or elegant seats, but Xue Qiandai still picked a seat by the window.
She ordered a pot of seafood congee, which was a generous portion, and also asked for two side dishes.
The shop was bustling with people, noisy and bustling.
"This porridge shop has the highest rating on review websites, but... well, it's a bit too crowded."
Since congee is inherently light, it's natural to choose one with a good flavor.
Huo Yunchao thought to himself, "Dai Dai has never eaten in a place like this before. It's good now." He smiled warmly, "I'm fine."
Xue Qiandai rinsed the plates and bowls again with hot water, saying virtuously, "Don't talk, just take good care of yourself. Porridge is liquid food, easy to digest, and good for your throat."
Huo Yunchao enjoyed Dai Dai's concern. If that was the case, could he occasionally feign illness or play the victim? However, he was more interested in figuring out why she had left without saying goodbye. "Dai Dai, yesterday you…?"
Xue Qiandai forced an awkward smile and made up a story: "I... I'm on my period, Auntie."
I shouldn't ask anymore. As long as Dai Dai isn't angry, that's fine.
The porridge was served, and Xue Qiandai took the initiative to serve it to him, even blowing on it carefully. There was a pearl on her lips, which made Huo Yunchao's Adam's apple bob.
"Here, eat."
VIP treatment! Huo Yunchao's eyes shone even brighter.
At the next table, two bright and beautiful girls were whispering to each other.
The girl in the beige dress said, "Look, that handsome guy is so handsome. He looks like the real-life domineering CEO from a romance novel. His husky voice is so sweet it's making my ears pregnant."
The girl in the little blue dress: "Didn't you see there's a woman sitting next to me?"
The girl in the beige dress took out a small mirror, smoothed her long hair behind her shoulders, and looked radiant. "Even though the beautiful flower has an owner, I'll loosen the soil for her. Besides, that woman isn't that good-looking, not as pretty as me."
The girl in the blue dress added, "I've seen that woman before. She seems to be a coffee delivery girl. Her emoji-themed outfit is quite popular right now."
Girl in beige dress: "A delivery girl? Then this soil is so loose it's practically worthless."
As she spoke, she stood up, took one step and swayed her waist, then took two steps and swayed her hips to walk to Huo Yunchao's table.
Their conversation reached Xue Qiandai's ears. She lowered her eyes and quietly ate her porridge. Huo Yunchao squeezed the back of her hand and gave her a smile.
"Hey handsome, can I borrow your phone to make a call? Mine's dead."
They undermined Xue Qiandai right in front of him, completely ignoring her.
Huo Yunchao picked up a soup spoon and added some porridge to Xue Qiandai's bowl before elegantly wiping his mouth with a tissue. "Sorry, I don't use my phone."
The girl glanced at the Blackberry on the table. The CEO was a bit aloof and cunning, but that suited her taste even better.
She then took out a gold-plated business card from her bag and handed it over, saying, "Here's my contact information. You can call me if you want to go out. You can call from a public phone too."
She emphasized the words "public telephone," her tone playful, charming, and affectionate.
Huo Yunchao didn't take it. He looked at Xue Qiandai and said bluntly, "My girlfriend doesn't let me take those small advertisements. They're not clean."
Xue Qiandai chuckled. She had never seen Huo Meiren so sarcastic. It was so satisfying.
Xue Qiandai, however, simply snatched the "small advertisement" away, saying, "It's not easy for people to make a living. If you accept the advertisement, she might be able to earn more commission. We should all be kind."
Huo Yunchao nodded solemnly, obeying his girlfriend's command.
The girl in the beige dress was furious, muttering, "That heartless couple is immoral, may they get hit by a car when they go out!" and then she swayed away.
The heartless couple, oblivious to their own actions, looked at each other and burst into laughter.
After lunch, Huo Yunchao escorted Xue Qiandai back to the coffee shop.
"Dai Dai, I'm going to sell Happy Farm." That was the name they chose together, a name that held beautiful memories and witnessed their love.
Xue Qiandai wasn't surprised; anything the TC Group set its sights on was naturally the most valuable. She jokingly asked, "So, are you planning to spend all your money on retirement now?"
“It’s possible. I’m quite interested in Bitcoin. Dai Dai, it was actually you who inspired me to start a new business.” A new business model was running in Huo Yunchao’s mind, and he was full of ambition.
Xue Qiandai took out some throat lozenges from her bag. "Here, remember to take one. I'm not involved in Happy Farm anymore. I think many people are like me, it's better to sell it sooner rather than later. With capital, the world is vast, and there are so many good projects!"
Huo Yunchao took the medicine and then took her hand. Dai Dai was probably the person who understood him best in the world, and he cherished this moment of tenderness.
"I should get back to work, Ms. Huo. Good luck with your next business venture!"
Xue Qiandai withdrew her hand, turned around, sniffed her fingertips, and silently encouraged herself, "Dai Dai, you need to run faster."
The afternoon was still busy. In addition to delivering takeout as usual, Xue Qiandai and Jian Yan also mailed out 500 letters.
Just before it was time to leave work, someone came into the coffee shop, looked around, and then asked Jian Yan, who happened to be in the shop, "Is Miss Xue Qiandai here?"
It was Qin Shu.
"She went to deliver food and hasn't come back yet. What's wrong?"
Qin Shu sat down in one of the only two booths and ordered a mocha latte.
However, after finishing a cup of coffee, Xue Qiandai still hadn't returned. "Excuse me, miss, what's your name?"
Jian Yan stopped sealing the letter she was working on. She knew it was from Chaoxun Company, and she didn't try to hide it. "My name is Jian Yan."
"Could you call Junior Sister Xue Qiandai and tell her that her senior, Qin Shu, needs to see her?"
