"Brother Yu, what were you trying to say to me just now?" Ji Yuan turned his head to look at him.
"N-nothing, I'm just hungry!" Ji Qingyu said somewhat awkwardly.
His brother is living a good life now, and he doesn't want to tell him about seeing Zhao Xin, so as not to bother him.
"Let's hurry up and go upstairs to eat!"
As Ji Qingyu spoke, she walked to Ji Yuan's left and pulled him quickly across the second-floor staircase.
The restaurant did very well on its first day; even after noon, people kept coming over, drawn by the aroma.
Su Qinghe was so busy that she barely had time to rest. The helpers she hired at the restaurant could only eat after mealtime, when there were fewer customers in the restaurant.
It was almost 3 p.m. before the building was empty.
But Su Qinghe didn't rest; she immediately instructed them to prepare the ingredients for the evening.
There were quite a few people who didn't get a turn at noon, and they'll probably be busy again during dinner time.
"Boss! Someone's looking for you outside!"
Shopkeeper Wang Lin ran to the kitchen and found Su Qinghe.
"knew!"
Su Qinghe took her hands out of the water from washing the vegetables, and Lin Xi, who was busy nearby, quickly took a handkerchief and wiped them for her.
"Xiao Xi is so thoughtful!" Su Qinghe kissed his cheek through her veil.
"My lady, please go out quickly! Don't keep him waiting!"
There were still many people in the kitchen, all busy with their own things and unable to see Su Qinghe's actions, but Lin Xi still felt very embarrassed.
After giving the notification, Wang Lin went out to greet them. When Su Qinghe arrived at the lobby, she saw Qin Ange sitting on a stool drinking tea with an air of authority, followed by He Bai.
"What brings you here, Young Master Qin?"
Su Qinghe walked up to him and stopped.
Upon seeing Su Qinghe, Qin Ange quickly stood up from the stool, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her, and grinned:
"Hello, Ms. Su! I'm here to deliver a congratulatory gift." He said, taking a box from He Bai's hand and handing it over.
"for you!"
He grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, looking just like a giant lucky cat, which was very festive.
He Bai stood aside watching his young master grinning foolishly, and he could hardly bear to look at him.
Wouldn't that scare away all the female rulers in the world?
She quickly stepped in front of him, blocking Su Qinghe's view, and said with a smile:
"Boss Su! I knew your restaurant was opening today. I originally wanted to come in person, but we suddenly had guests at your residence, so I asked my young master to come instead. I hope you don't mind!"
"Yes! When I came earlier, your building was packed with people, I couldn't even squeeze in. Luckily, there aren't many people here now!"
When Qin Ange saw that Su Qinghe had suddenly disappeared, her face fell, and she pushed He Bai aside in dissatisfaction.
He grinned again when Su Qinghe reappeared before him.
"I was really too busy to get away this afternoon, so I'm sorry to have troubled you to make these two trips, Mr. Qin. Please be sure to thank Sister Qin for me! I'll invite her to our restaurant for drinks another day!"
Su Qinghe reached out and took the box, finding the person in front of her to have a truly handsome smile, and her gaze lingered on his face for a couple more seconds.
"No trouble at all! I will definitely tell my sister everything, don't worry! It's just... that..."
Qin Ange suddenly became coy, and a blush rose on her bronze skin.
"Sister Qin and I are friends, so please feel free to speak your mind, Young Master Qin!"
Su Qinghe admired the handsome color combination on his face, and her voice was full of laughter as she spoke.
Imagine how attractive a strong, muscular man over 180cm tall would be when he gets shy!
"Well, I smelled the aroma from the restaurant today, but there were just too many people, and I couldn't get a turn."
"I have training at my camp this afternoon. By the time I finish training and get back to pack up, I definitely won't be able to have dinner. Could I reserve a private room with you in advance?"
After he finished speaking, he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, feeling that he had acted like a petty person who cut in line, but he was really craving it today.
"Don't worry, I'll save it for you. You can come anytime tonight!" Su Qinghe looked at him with amusement.
She thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a little glutton who was craving something delicious.
He Bai frowned upon hearing Qin Ange's request and lowered his head to advise:
"Young Master, by the time you finish training and get back, it will be very late. If the Captain finds out you've gone out again, he'll probably be angry. Why don't you come for lunch tomorrow at noon?"
"As long as you don't tell, my older sister won't know!"
Qin Ange glared at her and said in a muffled voice.
“But this is my duty…” He Bai was about to persuade her when Su Qinghe interrupted her.
"Don't worry, Manager He. Just tell me when Sister Qin asks. She should trust Young Master Qin with me!"
"Well... then I'll leave it to you to take care of him, young master!"
He Bai nodded helplessly, and the two chatted with Su Qinghe for a while before leaving.
Su Qinghe went back to the kitchen, gave a few instructions, and then left.
The restaurant still has too few tables. Seeing that there is still some space in the lobby, she needs to find a craftsman to make a few more sets.
The backyard was large, but she didn't plan to use it for growing vegetables; she only used it for practicing martial arts every morning.
Su Qinghe plans to divide it in half and have someone build an enclosed house inside, which will also be used to entertain guests.
...
As expected, the restaurant was packed again in the evening. Although there were fewer people than at noon, there was still a long queue outside.
"Manager! It's the same private room as at noon. Quickly send someone up to take our order."
Zhao Xin walked in with Jing'er in his arms, yelled at the shopkeeper, and went straight upstairs.
"Okay! We'll arrange it for you right away. Please go upstairs and rest!"
Wang Lin smiled and led the two upstairs, then immediately instructed a waiter to go upstairs.
The person already in line at the door saw this scene and her face instantly darkened. She looked indignant and questioned them with dissatisfaction:
"What's wrong with you guys! Why doesn't she have to wait in line?!"
"Didn't you say the private rooms were all full? Then how was she able to go?"
"I want a private room too, and I'll pay double!"
Someone started it, and the crowd began to make noise.
"Everyone! Everyone! Please don't misunderstand!"
Seeing that their argument was getting more and more heated, Wang Lin had no choice but to explain.
"That customer booked the hotel at noon; he didn't cut in line!"
"If any of you don't believe me, you can come and show her the records!"
After Wang Lin finished speaking, she smiled and shook the ledger in her hand.
The noise outside subsided considerably, and the people in the front row awkwardly fell silent, no one bothering to check the notebook.
"Why is she still living here!"
Inside the lobby, Ji Qingyu, carrying a tray, frowned and tightened her veil before turning to look for Ji Yuan.
"Brother! I'll go deliver it. We're almost out of meat slices. Could you go and slice some more? I can't slice them that thinly!"
Seeing that Ji Yuan was about to carry the tray upstairs, Ji Qingyu quickly coaxed him to the kitchen.
He'll keep an eye on his brother tonight and make sure he doesn't let him go up to the second floor.
