Chapter 796 Lao Xiao's Strict Selection
I was silent. My father had been very family-oriented during this period, and I almost forgot that his illegitimate son was still in the hospital.
I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you think I should ask my dad?"
He shook his head, “It’s useless, not to mention that your father probably doesn’t know who is behind the person he contacted.
If he knew he was being targeted by the police, would he still contact that person? Or would the other person notice something when he contacted him?
I leaned my head on his shoulder, "You became a sponsor for the police because of my case, right?"
He stroked my hair gently and said, "I've disliked Lu Yuanqing for a long time. I've been struggling to find evidence. Now that the police are targeting them, I don't mind giving them a push and helping out a little.
Also, if I don’t agree, do you think Wen Congwu would dare to take you in? "
I suddenly raised my head. "Captain Wen said he didn't ask you. He said he felt I was an adult and could make my own decision."
"That's right. If you don't want to go, you can refuse. There's nothing wrong with what he said." He said it confidently. When I thought about it, what he said seemed to be right, but also seemed to be wrong.
He didn't let me think any further and continued, "You are just providing technical support in the rear. The risks are controllable."
He cupped my face and said, "Besides, finding you something different to do is better than sitting at home with your mind wandering."
I punched him in dissatisfaction, "I won't sit around at home doing nothing. I'm going to go out and work after graduation. I won't be a lazy bum at home."
He picked me up and walked to the living room and sat on the sofa. "Have you thought about what to do?"
I held my head high and said seriously, "Although I don't need to work to support myself now, I must not forget my original aspiration.
No matter when, I will always remember that my dream is to become an awesome fashion designer!"
Xiao Shiqiu clapped his hands earnestly. "Well said, Designer Xia, your graduation thesis..."
This guy really knows how to put people down. I collapsed onto the sofa and said weakly, "When will the teacher you found for me be in place? My graduation thesis is now the obstacle on my road to achieving my dream."
Xiao Shiqiu laughed heartily. "Look at you. Your ambitions just now were dashed by a small paper in the blink of an eye. Let's do it tomorrow. I've already sent your paper to Xu Yunfang and arranged a meeting with her for you tomorrow afternoon. I'll message you tomorrow after the arrangements are made."
Xiao Shiqiu made an appointment for me to meet Xu Yunfang at a high-end teahouse near Fontainebleau.
I acted coquettishly and said to him, "I don't like drinking tea, so why did you choose a teahouse?"
Xiao Shiqiu coaxed me good-naturedly, "Baby, you don't like coffee either, so I can't choose a milk tea shop. Honey, this place has a wide variety of flower and fruit teas, and a lot of snacks too. Xiao Yang went there to check it out before deciding."
I don't know whether I should praise Xiao Shiqiu for his thoughtfulness or praise Xiao Yang for his meticulousness. This teahouse called Wei Qinghuan is not far from where I live. Maybe it's because I don't like drinking tea, so I have never noticed it before.
Pushing open the carved wooden door of Wei Qing Huan, a faint scent of sandalwood wafted in my face. A waiter in a pewter-gray gown came up to me with a smile. "Miss, do you have a reservation?"
I hesitated for a moment and forgot to ask Lao Xiao whose name he used to order it.
"Is there a seat reserved by Mr. Xiao?"
The waiter immediately became more enthusiastic. "Are you Miss Xia? The Tingxuexuan that Mr. Xiao reserved is ready. The other Ms. Xu hasn't arrived yet. Please follow me."
It seems that Xiao Shiqiu has been here many times. When his name is mentioned, the service attitude becomes much more enthusiastic.
Follow the waiter through the corridor. The ground is paved with antique bluestone slabs, and the decoration along the way is quite Zen.
This kind of Zen decoration seems to be particularly popular these days. It seems that drinking tea or even talking business in such an environment seems fresh and unworldly.
However, when the door of Tingxuexuan's box was opened, the scene inside was completely different.
Facing us was a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, and outside the window was a beautifully decorated rockery garden. "Miss Xia, this button can switch the glass between privacy mode and viewing mode with one click." The waiter pointed to the button on the wall and demonstrated it to me. He pressed it, and the glass quickly became completely fogged, and the lighting in the room was not affected at all.
Press it again, and the glass became transparent again. Sure enough, there is always something special about the places that Xiao Shiqiu likes.
Lao Xiao’s selections never disappoint!
Next to the floor-to-ceiling window is a walnut tea table, with dark gray fabric sofas on both sides.
When I saw what was on the table, I finally understood why Lao Xiao thought I would like this place.
The large tea table was filled with many small plates, including Japanese Haruo fruits, each of which was covered with frost, durian pulp in ice cups, and Australian finger limes spread on crushed ice like caviar.
By the way, I only tasted finger lime after I met Xiao. I had never seen it before. I didn’t expect that this teahouse also had it.
In addition to fruits, there are also black truffle chocolates and Japanese White Lover Baumkuchen, with black honey syrup on the side.
"Miss Xia, please take a seat first. I'll have someone bring you some fresh refreshments." The waiter bowed respectfully and left.
I had just sat down when the door to the box opened again and an elegant middle-aged woman walked in. I quickly stood up and greeted her, "Is this Teacher Xu?"
Xu Yunfang walked in wearing a modified cheongsam made of Xiangyunsha, carrying a Chinese woven bag, a plain silver bracelet on her wrist, her hair in a low bun, and she was reading a book with a strong scent.
She looked at me and smiled kindly, "Hello, Xiao Xia, the place Mr. Xiao picked is really good."
She looked around and jokingly said, "If the work environment is like this, 996 is not unacceptable."
I laughed too, "Yeah, except that it's not good for weight loss, I really can't find any other disadvantages."
As I finished speaking, two waiters came in with trays containing several exquisite Cantonese-style snacks. As they placed them on the table, they announced the names of the dishes, "Black truffle shrimp dumplings, gold foil lava buns, bird's nest egg tarts..."
I knew this was a high-end teahouse and the food must be good, but I didn't expect it to be this good.
It seems that my paper is worth a lot of money. Lao Xiao didn’t tell me how much it costs per person, and I didn’t feel comfortable asking since Xu Yunfang was here.
Forget it, it's a rare experience to spend money like water
When Xu Yunfang heard the waiter announce the dishes, even though she appeared to be very calm, her eyebrows couldn't help but move.
I half-jokingly said, "I didn't expect the snacks here to be so unique. If my husband knew, he would probably be jealous."
The waiter immediately replied enthusiastically, "Yes, our refreshments are among the best in City A, and even nationwide.
By the way, the dim sum here is unlimited and you can ring the bell to order it anytime."
