Chapter 3384 Extra Strong Sister 38
Bai Jingxing was thinking about what to eat before dinner, so he called the waiter and asked, "Are the dim sum in your shop delicious? Do you have any barbecued meat?"
It's perfect to eat barbecue on rainy days.
The waiter knew she was a good eater and said, "Yes, yes, we have roasted lamb and rabbit. What kind of meat would you like?"
"Give me a plate of everything. No pork?"
The waiter took a look at Bai Jingxing's clothes, and the name they had reported when they checked in, and hesitated: "Do you eat pork?"
"Eat it. If you have any, cut some and grill it. Preferably the pork belly part, slice it thinly. If you have any tasty vegetables, have some too."
After changing clothes and leaving the room feeling refreshed, Bai Ruoyu heard voices coming from the first floor. She couldn't help but lean over the railing to look down, and said with a sigh, "Are you not going to have dinner with us?"
Bai Jingxing looked up at him and said, "This is my appetizer, understand?"
"All this meat as a snack?" Bai Ruoyu shook her head. "When we get back to the capital, do you plan to become as fat as a ball when you go back to see your uncle and aunt?"
Bai Jingxing asked him, "Do you want to eat?"
Bai Ruoyu swallowed and said, "Eat! Wait, I'll go call Brother Li and the others."
Bai Ruoyu ran off, and Bai Jingxing turned around and asked Wang Yun, "Madam Wang, what did you want to talk to me about?"
Wang Yun: “…”
She paused for a long moment before remembering her purpose. "Lady Bai, Mr. Wei is the advisor my uncle hired for my father. I didn't expect him to change his mind at the last minute and go to the capital with you."
In fact, Bai Jingxing herself didn't expect this. She nodded and motioned Wang Yun to continue.
"Mr. Wei has been depressed and frustrated his entire life, constantly wandering around. I want him to spend his old age in peace, so could you please ask Lady Bai to persuade him to leave with us?"
"Ah?" Bai Jingxing looked confused. "How can I persuade him? Mr. Wei... He is older than me. He made his decision after careful consideration. I have neither the position nor the wisdom to persuade him."
Anyone who is invited by the Wang family to be an aide must be a knowledgeable person with rich experience. How could he listen to her advice?
Bai Jingxing refused directly, "Madam Wang, please find someone else."
"However," she paused, "cooperation is something that only requires mutual consent. Madam Wang has shown her sincerity, so even if it doesn't work out, she can still have a clear conscience. If Mr. Wei doesn't agree, he must have other plans. Why force it?"
Wang Yun frowned and said with a half-smile, "I asked Lady Bai to persuade Mr. Wei, but I didn't expect that Lady Bai would persuade me in return. It seems that Lady Bai also wants Mr. Wei to follow her."
Bai Jingxing raised an eyebrow when she heard this. She had been studying at Mingxue since she was a child. Although she was confused when she was young, she often competed with her classmates openly and secretly. Wang Yun's words were not hidden. Her expression also turned cold. She raised her hand to pour herself a cup of tea and said, "If a man of insight like Mr. Wei is willing to follow me, I will naturally treat him with respect."
"You!" Wang Yun stood up from the chair and was about to speak when a voice interrupted, "Sister Bai."
Wang Yun turned her head and saw that it was Yang Zezhi. He had come downstairs at some point and was standing at the stairs looking at them.
Her eyes reddened, and she cried out in grievance, "Young Master Yang."
Yang Zezhi only glanced at her, nodded slightly, and then looked at Bai Jingxing with a smile, "I heard from Ruoyu that you ordered a lot of food?"
Bai Jingxing and Wang Yun turned their heads together and first saw Yang Zezhi, then stared at Wang Yun's red eyes. She touched her chin thoughtfully.
Seeing that she was just staring at Wang Yun without saying anything, Yang Zezhi stepped forward and waved in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking about when I talk to you?"
"Oh, nothing." Bai Jingxing came back to his senses and stood up and said, "I'm hungry and I don't know when I can have dinner, so I ordered something to eat first."
Yang Zezhi: "I'm sorry to have troubled you these past few days. I've asked Dongfang to get some information. Tomorrow we'll go to the county government office and the county school to meet with the county magistrate and the teacher. He'll go look for a house. If he finds a good one, we'll move in once it's settled. You can have a good rest."
Wang Yun's eyes became even redder when she saw the two of them talking to each other. She had been suppressing herself since last night, but now she finally couldn't hold it back anymore and couldn't help but shout, "Young Master Yang..."
Yang Zezhi turned around, looked at her and smiled, "Mr. Wei, how should I choose? Naturally, I have to ask Mr. Wei. It's useless for Miss Wang to look for my sister from the Bai family. Do you think I'm right, Mr. Wei?"
Only then did Wang Yun realize that his eyes were not looking at her, but at the person behind her. She turned around and found that Mr. Wei was standing behind her.
Mr. Wei had just changed his clothes and didn't know what had happened before, so he looked confused and asked, "What do you want to ask me?"
Yang Zezhi poured tea into a teacup, placed it across from him, and invited him to sit down and drink. He smiled and said, "The Wang family invited Mr. Wei to come out of retirement, but Mr. Wei is now following Sister Bai, and the Wang family is a little unhappy. So, I thought, since all three of you are here, it would be better to talk it out to avoid any misunderstandings in the future."
Wang Yun's face flushed, and she quickly shook her hands and said, "No, no, our Wang family has no complaints. Young Master Yang has misunderstood."
"That was a misunderstanding on my part, but since all three are here, it's better to explain."
Mr. Wei stroked his beard and fell into deep thought. He looked at Wang Yun, then at Bai Jingxing, and finally at Yang Zezhi's face. He sighed and realized that he had accidentally become a tool for other people's jealousy.
Mr. Wei waved his hand and said, "I won't follow any of them."
He turned to Wang Yun and said, "Young lady of the Wang family, I never promised your uncle that I would be your family's advisor. I came out of retirement because your uncle said that the world outside is very different now than it was a few years ago. It's changing with each passing day. With the opening of the canal transportation system, you can travel a thousand miles in a single day by boat. It's extremely fast."
He turned his head to look at Bai Jingxing and smiled, "I don't think the young lady from the Bai family really wants me to follow her. Is she disgusted with me following her around and deliberately said something to piss me off? But I have a good temper and I won't be pissed off."
Bai Jingxing: "...You have a really good temper, but why are you so angry when I asked you to be my staff?"
"That's right," Mr. Wei said thoughtfully, stroking his beard. "Ambition doesn't depend on age, naturally. Having the ability to hire me doesn't depend on age, naturally. How could I be angry with you for that?"
Yang Zezhi cupped his hands, bowed deeply to Mr. Wei, and apologized, "I was rude just now and dragged Mr. Wei into the dispute. I hope Mr. Wei will forgive me."
Mr. Wei stroked his beard and laughed heartily, waving his hand nonchalantly, saying, "Never mind. Treat me to a meal tonight and I'll forgive you."
