After lunch, none of them chose to go down the mountain.
A simple shed with three small, collapsible tables, just enough for six people to squeeze in.
However, after a group of people entered, the shed fell into an eerie silence.
Four handsome and refined men with outstanding temperament, along with two beautiful and petite women, became the scenery of the place, attracting the attention of passing tourists.
This has brought in many more customers for the owner to dine.
The boss was very happy and extremely busy.
Jiang Zhixing has regretted agreeing to have lunch with them ever since.
He didn't expect that Uncle He would actually agree to eat at a roadside stall, and those two idiots across from him would even accept it. However, seeing He Xiao's displeased expression, Jiang Zhixing's annoyance disappeared.
I don't know who agreed so readily just now, but it's too late to regret it now. In the end, it just goes to show that harming others will ultimately harm oneself.
He Liyu didn't show any inappropriate emotions. As the patriarch, he should take care of the children's feelings. After asking about their dietary restrictions, he went to order food.
When he returned, he saw the admiring look in the girl's eyes and paused, somewhat puzzled.
"What's wrong?" He Liyu asked softly.
Shen Linyue shook her head, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
He Liyu understood her silence, smiled, and patiently explained, "I often ate at the small restaurants behind the school when I was in college, and I still eat there occasionally after I started working. Many of these small restaurants taste better than those in five-star hotels."
After hearing his answer, Shen Linyue admired him even more. He Liyu was indeed different from the CEOs in other CEO novels! He was more human and closer to reality.
When He Li saw her little expression, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Leaving aside my identity as a boss, I'm no different from an ordinary person," he said with a smile.
His voice wasn't quiet, and the others could hear it. He Xiao, who had initially been very resistant, immediately felt relieved after hearing it. Pei Wenqing even gave his uncle a thumbs up, saying, "My grandmother often taught me the same thing."
Su Xiangxin, the only one who grew up in the countryside, couldn't help but take a second look at this big boss who could wield considerable influence in Taipei.
The fear of not fitting in completely disappeared.
Even President He said that, so why should she feel inferior?
Jiang Zhixing, who had been taught from a young age not to eat junk food, was speechless. His relaxed mood instantly plummeted.
But he was also very curious; it turned out that even the high and mighty Uncle He ate at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant.
Thinking of his mother again, Jiang Zhixing's feelings became even more complicated.
The group ate with great elegance, their every move exuding an innate air of nobility. As more and more people admired them, the small tent was soon packed.
In the end, when He Liyu went to pay the bill, the proprietress smiled and gave him a discount, and even wanted to invite him to be the brand ambassador for her shop.
He Liyu: "..." There's no need to promote someone else for a few dozen yuan.
But he's very good at investing and acquiring shares.
So he handed over a business card and said, "If you're considering opening a shop elsewhere, you can call this number and someone will meet you."
The proprietress, who only wanted to take a picture with him because of his good looks and demeanor, was speechless.
...
For the rest of the trip, Jiang Zhixing originally wanted to say goodbye and go his own way, but Pei Wenqing pulled him along and forced him to check the itinerary. After discovering that everyone's itinerary was the same, he was kept behind.
But this didn't affect the atmosphere in the team, especially with Pei Wenqing, who was a chatterbox, around. Even He Xiao seemed quiet in front of him.
Su Xiangxin went to take photos, and Shen Linyue, seeing He Liyu lagging behind and constantly looking at his phone, came over to ask him something.
"Is there official business to attend to?" Shen Linyue asked.
He Liyu shook his head: "It's just some trivial matters, but I might have to go on a business trip tomorrow and won't be able to stay with you."
Shen Linyue shrugged: "It's okay, you'll have plenty of time to spend with me in the future..."
She paused as she spoke, wondering why her words sounded like she was setting a flag for herself.
She shook her head to quickly banish the bad thoughts, her face beaming with a lovely smile.
He Liyu's deep, dark eyes fell on her face, their expression unreadable. After a few seconds, he nodded and said softly, "Okay."
I will stay by your side until you find someone you can entrust your life to...
"By the way, why did you hand that proprietress your business card just now? Did you discover some new business opportunity?" Shen Linyue asked curiously.
He Liyu's eyelashes fluttered slightly as he looked at her earnestly: "Don't you think this place has a lot of good food? I think it's worth developing."
Shen Linyue: "..." The big boss is indeed different from ordinary people like them; he can always find business opportunities.
...
"Has your aunt and your dad always gotten along like this?" Jiang Zhixing turned his gaze to He Xiao and asked.
He Xiao was still unhappy. When he heard Jiang Zhixing's words, he subconsciously wanted to retort, "Your parents don't have this kind of relationship."
But he stopped just as the words were about to come out, saying, "None of your business, stop asking about my family."
Despite He Xiao's hostile attitude, Jiang Zhixing did not show any inappropriate emotion on his face, but he did notice He Xiao's momentary hesitation.
He Xiao was acting strangely today, his gaze kept drifting towards Lin Yue. Had the two of them had a falling out?
Jiang Zhixing fell into deep thought.
However, at that moment, a cry of surprise suddenly erupted from the crowd.
"Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"
"Damn it, damn it, is there anyone who can swim down and save me?"
The incident caused a great stir, and Shen Linyue and He Liyu, who were at the back, also heard it. They were positioned at the bend of the small bridge, where they could have a clear view of the situation on the other side.
Before Shen Linyue could see clearly, she saw Jiang Zhixing jump into the water.
He Liyu's cold, deep voice rang out from above: "It's Xiao Su who fell into the water."
Shen Linyue was startled and her mind went blank. Her body reacted faster than her brain and she squeezed into the crowd at top speed.
Fortunately, the water was not deep and the shore was very close, so He Xiao and Pei Wenqing pulled the two of them ashore together.
It was winter, and the flowing mountain spring water hadn't frozen. Falling into the lake would have been enough to peel off a layer of skin. Su Xiangxin was rescued, her face ashen, her whole body trembling, her eyes filled with terror and helplessness.
Shen Linyue squeezed into the innermost part of the crowd, took off his down jacket and wrapped it around her body, then hugged her tightly.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Xiaoxiao will be alright." Shen Linyue's voice trembled.
I don't understand how the little girl who was just taking pictures could suddenly fall into the water.
Jiang Zhixing, who was rescuing Su Xiao, also looked unwell. The water level only reached his waist, but his clothes were still almost completely soaked in order to grab Su Xiao.
He glared at the culprit who had pushed him into the water, but when he met his gaze, He Xiao showed no panic and even began to apologize.
"Sorry, it was too chaotic just now, and you just happened to be right in front of me, so I just let you go down and rescue people. I hope Jiang won't mind."
Jiang Zhixing: "..." Listen to this, is he even speaking human language?
Among the group, He Liyu was the calmest. He draped his coat over Shen Linyue and said, "I've already called the police. The park security guards are here. Let's go to the security booth first, and I'll have someone bring you some clothes."
