Chapter 68 I Want Him
Yue Ning sat down next to Brother Zhiyuan and took away the bottle of wine: "Brother Zhiyuan, calm down and think about it. Is Miss Su still willing to continue to be your subordinate? Are the words she said the final decision after calm thinking, or is she angry with you, or wants to negotiate terms?"
"I talked to her and told her that she could negotiate for anything she wanted, even the title of Cai Zhiyuan's wife." Cai Zhiyuan said, pinching his brows.
Yue Ning stared at Cai Zhiyuan blankly, like a fool, and asked, "Brother, you don't think Cai Zhiyuan's wife is a good person, do you?"
Cai Zhiyuan recalled that he had just mentioned to Sophie that he could marry her, and Sophie and Ningning had the same expression.
He asked, "Why?"
"If you don't have a good life, why would I be your housekeeper for free? I have to be your housekeeper, give birth to your children, deal with those beautiful women who throw themselves at you, and occasionally deal with you when you are in the mood. If Wang Xifeng in Dream of Red Mansions was born in this world, would she still be willing to marry Jia Lian? Tanchun said, 'If I were a man and could go out, I would have gone long ago and established a career. Then I would have my own reasons.'" Yue Ning said with a smile, "A capable girl like me would never regard becoming someone's wife as a reward. Marriage is a pair of handcuffs that lock two people. I am willing to wear handcuffs for a relationship like that between Uncle Mo and Mama. What's in your mind to wear handcuffs for a playboy?"
Cai Zhiyuan stopped talking.
"Brother! You must have a clear understanding of yourself. You are a golden toad that spits out money. Women who want to take money from your mouth treat you as a treasure, while women who don't want the money from your mouth see you as a toad."
"So you think I'm a toad too?" Cai Zhiyuan said unhappily.
Yue Ning put his hand on his shoulder: "That's for sure. But, among the three of us, no one should laugh at each other, and no one should look down on each other. We are the same kind, three golden toads."
Cai Zhiyuan was clearly feeling extremely uncomfortable, but after hearing what she said, he laughed out loud: "You are quite self-aware."
"So when I become rich, and male celebrities show me their eight-pack abs, I will definitely not think that they like me, they just like the money that comes out of my mouth." Yue Ning glanced at him and said, "As a golden toad, I must have the consciousness of a golden toad."
Qiao Junshen turned his head to look at her: "You still want to see the abdominal muscles of male stars?"
Yue Ning met Qiao Junshen's eyes and said, "I thought people of the same kind could understand each other."
Faced with such a frank look, Qiao Junshen knew that it was none of his business. This was something for his silly brother to worry about.
"Brother Zhiyuan, you have basically lost Miss Su. From your performance today, I can see whether she wants to see you again or to be friends with you. You have made the conversation deadlocked. Now the only option left is to never have any contact with each other again." Yue Ning said to Cai Zhiyuan.
Cai Zhiyuan remained silent. Yue Ning asked, "Do you want to make a sudden turn? I can't pull her back to sleep with you, the toad. But I can let her shake hands with you, the toad."
"What do you think we should do?" Cai Zhiyuan asked.
"I'll go find her and invite her to join Baohualou Catering Management Company and be my housekeeper. What about you? Just say that as my brother, in order to support me, you have discussed and decided to let your right-hand assistant Miss Su come to help me."
“Can the outside world trust it?”
"We don't care whether the outside world believes it or not. If we believe it, the outside world must believe it. After all, we are golden toads." Yue Ning looked at Cai Zhiyuan.
Cai Zhiyuan looked at Yue Ning, recalling the conversation with Sophie just now. He said he wanted to marry her, and she seemed to have heard a big joke. She said she didn't want to stay in Hengtong anymore and said she wanted to resign. He was furious at that time. He had already lowered his attitude to this extent, but she was still like this? Was that man so important to her?
She looked at him with helpless eyes: "Cai Zhiyuan, I thought you were mature. I'm going to work, and I'll talk to you tomorrow."
His cousin came to see him and saw that he was not in good shape today. Under his cousin's questioning and his own desire to find someone to talk to, he told him everything.
He wanted to find a solution, how to keep her? His cousin dragged him to Ningning's place for dinner. He couldn't even eat the dragon liver and phoenix marrow, he just wanted to drink a few sips, he really drank too much and talked too much. He actually told all these things to this bad girl.
The bad girl was right. He couldn't keep Sophie even if he tried to force her to stay. She might get angry and run to England or Canada. This was a way to ease the tension between the two sides. At least she was still in Hong Kong, and even in her own circle.
No matter how bad the bad girl is, she is still their little sister. How can they not dig out the identity of that man from her mouth after such a long time?
Cai Zhiyuan thought about it and said, "You have a point. She is angry now. If I tell her, she will think it is a delaying tactic. You are eloquent, but you are not familiar with her."
"It doesn't matter! It's nothing more than impressing people with your sincerity?"
Yue Ning saw Cai Zhiyuan's good plan in his eyes, so what did it matter? Yue Ning was confident that compared with the two golden toads, his own golden toad was better than Cai Zhiyuan's, and he was willing to pay. He only wanted the swan to work, not to eat the swan meat. Anyone with a normal mind would know who to choose.
"So when are you going?"
"Give me Miss Su's phone number and I'll go make an appointment?"
Cai Zhiyuan gave Yue Ning the phone number, and Yue Ning said, "Then I'll go make an appointment and see if she's free to have coffee with me?"
Watching Yue Ning walk out of the room, Cai Zhiyuan asked Qiao Junshen: "Do you think this girl will cheat me?"
"Didn't she clearly tell you that she wanted Sophie? And you couldn't keep Sophie, so what did she do to you?"
Cai Zhiyuan had drunk a lot of wine and talked a lot. This solution seemed to be the best one at the moment. He picked up the bowl, scooped two spoonfuls of the still warm beef brisket, and filled his stomach.
Yue Ning knocked on the door, opened it, and said with joy: "Brothers, take me to the TV station?"
Cai Zhiyuan, who was having dinner, asked, "Have you made an appointment?"
"Um."
Yue Ning took their car to the TV station where Sophie was in a meeting.
Cai Zhiyuan also had plans for the afternoon. After finishing a bowl of beef brisket rice, a tiny bit of hope was ignited and he was revived.
Yue Ning simply went to the front desk reception, took a newspaper and read it while waiting for Sophie's meeting to end.
"Ms. Yue."
Hearing this name, Yue Ning's eyes left the pictures in the newspaper of the rich young man and the female star frolicking in swimsuits on the beach, and saw Lu Jinyong and his boss walking over.
Yue Ning stood up: "Boss Guo, Chef Lu, what a coincidence."
The owner of the hotel that Yulongxuan belongs to came over and sat down: "I have always wanted to invite Miss Yue for tea, but Miss Yue was very busy, so I couldn't make it."
"Baohua Building is only about 70% open so far, it is indeed very busy." Yue Ning said sincerely and politely.
Boss Guo smiled, "Ms. Yue is indeed capable, but you are going too far just to show your pride, aren't you? If you do this, your Baohua Restaurant will be nothing but a fire cooking oil. If the chef is not in place, it will be useless and there will be no way to open at full capacity. However, our Yulongxuan will be affected. You felt uncomfortable at the time, why didn't you come to me? You have the ability, and I respect people with ability and skills. Miss Yue, please forgive me for being frank, you may be more talented than your grandfather, Mr. Yue Baohua, but your mind is much narrower than his. Back then, Mr. Yue Baohua directly gave the roast meat recipe to Huihuang, and later received Huihuang's reward. The menu stated that the roast meat came from Baohua Restaurant. You could obviously cooperate with us like your grandfather, but you chose such a path that hurts others and does not benefit yourself."
"Ms. Yue is still young and energetic. She does things without considering the consequences and does not know how to make good connections. If you continue like this, you will soon ruin all the good connections that Uncle Hua has accumulated." Lu Jinyong said.
As the saying goes, like master, like servant. The two of them had the same idea. Yue Ning frowned and looked at Boss Guo: "Boss Guo? Is there something wrong with your idea? To make good connections, you must first have good intentions. You were full of malice from the beginning, and you asked me to be kind? You stepped on me to increase business and customer flow for Yulongxuan, and I explained the truth. You come to blame me for being stepped on by you, and not bringing me a prescription? Sowing good causes can make good connections."
Boss Guo realized that she didn't know how to take the opportunity given to her, so he snorted coldly, "Miss Yue, being tough is useless. Opening a restaurant in Gangcheng is not just about having good skills. Your grandfather's skills are ranked among the chefs in Gangcheng, and he has been in business for decades, but the scale of Baohua Restaurant is only today. When you reach my position, it won't be too late to be tough again."
Yue Ning looked at him with a smile: "What is Mr. Guo's status? Mr. Guo hopes that I can compete head-on with Yulongxuan? This is really a good suggestion."
"You little brat." Boss Guo stood up, looking sullen. "You've been spoiled to no end, you don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is."
"Who is it that the monkey becomes king when there is no tiger in the mountain?" Yue Ning asked him.
Boss Guo originally wanted to say a few words to Yue Ning, hoping that she could understand what he did and what kind of impact it would have on her future. Then how can the two sides cooperate? Yue Ning had said in front of the camera before that the taste of Yulongxuan's dishes was good. It can be seen that she didn't want to completely offend them.
Unexpectedly, she, who was very respectful to her colleagues in front of the camera, was sharp-tongued in private and didn't give him any face at all.
Even saying this, his cheeks trembled: "Even if you are a tiger, you are still just a cub drinking milk. Take Baohualou first."
Yue Ning saw Sophie coming out to look for her. She smiled and said, "Boss Guo, there should be news in a couple of days. I hope you've prepared yourself mentally by then. I have an appointment, so I won't chat with you anymore."
She ran towards Sophie with the skipping steps of a little girl: "Sister."
Sophie was hooked by her arm and asked gently, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No! I just happened to meet a senior in the industry. He bullied me because I didn't have any chefs or management talents. I only had a small Baohua Building. It was a little kid who was drinking milk. It was far away from him." Yue Ning looked at Sophie and said, "No, it's not like that. I have chefs, management talents, and everything. Don't you think so, sister?"
Sophie saw that Boss Guo of Yulongxuan had a dark face and knew that the two families had a feud. If it were in the past, she would definitely not wade into this unclear muddy water, but the little girl made her feel so warm last night, so she stood on the little girl's side. She tapped Yue Ning's nose and said, "You are so good, God must give you the best of everything."
"I've been waiting for you to say this, sister!" Yue Ning said, hugging Sophie's arm.
